Mobil1 - full synthetic, lubricants

Have used many grades, especially the extended wear, in many cars older and brand new for many years now. All of them run much more smoothly than with natural oil and I can often go as long as 10-12 months between oil changes. This is wonderful for performance and gas mileage, and a real help for someone who changes their own oil. Saves a lot of money as well. Mobil 1 44978 Extended Performance 10W-30 Motor Oil - 1 Quart, Pack of 6

It must be the best oil available at a lower price than that of Amsoil brand etc.

I started using 10W-30 last month. My car is an older one, I hope it does not cause any leaks/burns. So far no problems. It says 'guaranteed for 15K miles' but I think I will change the oil and filter half at that mileage since it is the car's first synthetic after 124K miles.

I agree, most autoparts stores sell these for $ 29.99 for 5 Qts of M1 EP and a fitting Mobil 1 E.P. oil filter.

Amazon needs to ask Exxon Mobil for lower prices. It is not competitive...

I have used Mobil 1 in my 2003 Chev Tahoe since the first oil change and was considering the additional expense for the "extended performance" Mobil 1 oil. I sell industrial machinery and met up with a Mobil Engineer at a paper mill. This engineer swears by the stuff and was emphatic that it will perform to 15,000 miles under highway conditions. I have been using it for the last two oil changes, but I only run it 8-10,000 miles because I change my oil twice a year regardless. The filter needs to be considered as much as the oil and as long as I am going to be under the truck changing the filter, I'm going to dump the oil and grease the chassis. I use $10 Mobil 1 oil filters and the Mobil 1 synthetic grease. I found this oil much less expensive at my local Blain's Farm And Fleet store. They have it for $6.96 per quart. - Full Synthetic - Lubricants'

The reversible razor pendant seems very straight forward. The size seems accurate to the old style razor blades it's fashioned after. For some reason the product image appears to be a lot thicker than it actually is. It seems to be the perfect mass of not too flimsy, but not uncomfortably thick. If this is the style you're looking for, I recommend it. Razor Blade Stainless Steel Pendant - FREE chain - Razor Blade'

Homeopathic - teen, natural

Visit Store Now !!

I don't have horrible acne but my forehead has always been oily and I get flair ups and get some natsty ones once in a while. The last couple of years it's gotten slightly worse. I've tried numerous things over the years. Clearasil cream, pads, various 3 part systems, washing my face numerous times a day, etc. Nothing worked. I stumbled on this on sale tucked away in a bottom shelf at the store. Thought I'd try it. Taking the pills alone my skin has totally cleared up and I haven't had any blemishes. This is one of the best homeopathic products I've ever used. Nature's Cure Two Part Acne Treatment System for Males (1 Month Supply)

I was skeptical at first. The only way I found out about this product was at Rite-Aid with 1 bottle of the Body spray. It seemed to be working ok, and I did a search on Amazon.com for it, and seen all the great reviews. So for $10, I was like why not? Man am I glad I did. Amazing stuff, I noticed a difference after 2 or 3 days, then 1 week was even better, 2 weeks was more and going a month strong, almost completely clear, if I do get any breakouts, gone in a day almost. Strongly recommended for anybody who has gone to a Dermatoligist for years (i'm 28, been going since I was 13). Tried Retina, tretinoin, differin, all topicals, oral prescripts. Proactiv and others over the counter. I use Neutrogena Adavanced Solutions facewash and spf15 lotion, the acne lotion worked, but not as good as natures cure lotion.(almost the same, but natures cure has twice the benzoyl peroxide and additional aloe for cooling) with Natures Cure 2 step process. I'm sold.

Thanks!

There are several acne treatment solutions out there and I've tried almost all of them...murad, proactiv, klear action, clearasil, stridex, retin-a, etc. All of them left my skin oily or dry or irritated and none stopped future breakouts from happening plus they were quite expensive. I think I'm the minority in which months of proactiv did not help stop future breakouts.

The problem with all of these treatments is that they're all topical and don't correct the imbalances within the body due stress, etc. When I first saw this product, I thought I had nothing to lose and it was cheap. I've been using this product for months. Using a popular off-the-shelf skin moisturizer, it's stopped major breakouts and limited ones that were going to appear. The results I had with this product compared to the ones above were the difference between night and day. I believe the tablets helped cure the body's internal imbalances, which were ultimately leading to breakouts that topical creams could not stop. I encourage anyone to try this product as a cheaper alternative to the above acne solutions and recommend it to the minority of people that haven't had success with the big names.

I was looking for something to help my 15 year old son with his acne and read the reviews on this product. Knowing that hormones and genetic makeup have a lot to do with persistent skin problems, it only made sense to use a product that worked on both the inside (where they start) and the outside. The ingredients in the product were all perfectly harmless and the reviews were positive, but I also know that if something sounds too good to be true-it often isn't true. But the price was minimal and worth the risk.

We marked my son's "start date" on the calendar and tomorrow it will be two full weeks since that day. He and I both are totally AMAZED.

BEFORE Nature's Cure(NC):no matter what we tried topically, his skin was fairly "bumpy" even where no pimples had erupted, he would get 4 or 5 new ones a day, and at any given time he'd have 4 or 5 previous ones that he was trying to heal/dry out/deal with too.

AFTER NC:The first thing we both noticed was that the rate of new ones dropped drastically, I'd say about an 80% drop. The second thing we noticed was that the ones he was getting were FAR less severe and were healing much faster. After the first couple of days watching him (just in case he had any negative side effects from the tablets, which he did not)I forgot all about it. A couple of days ago he was talking to me face to face when I suddenly realized how GREAT his skin looked! My eyes widened and he stopped in the middle of a sentence and asked "What?" I grinned and said "Can I touch your face?" He grinned and said "Yeah! It's cool huh?" and I couldn't believe it! The "bumps" on the surface were totally gone and his skin was so SOFT and healthy looking.

Now, he STILL has some pimples, but they are random and small, and it hadn't even been two full weeks before there was a visible difference to others. (He had noticed long before I did because he obsesses about his face every day) And maybe I'm just imagining this part-but I'd SWEAR that the tablets, which are supposed to help counteract the stressful hormones that cause acne, have improved his moodiness! Not a whole lot mind you, and maybe it's just that his self-confidence is improving as his skin does, but he's been more easy going and less snippy at his siblings than usual. Either way I'm SO thankful for this product and my son has already asked me to reorder it so he doesn't run out.

VERY impressed, and VERY satisfied.

UPDATE- 2/18/2011

My son ran out of this and literally pestered me into ordering him some more. It came quickly and he is enjoying the same results as before. He did say that he noticed much better results when he used both products together rather than when he forgot to take the pills but used the cream alone. Not only that, but upon re-reading my first review, I'm seeing the same improvement in his moodiness (when he's using the product)that I noted before. Could be entirely coincidental or self-esteem related-but either way-it's a good thing.

I am 18 years old, and a freshman in college. I saw Nature's cure at my local wal-mart while trying to decide on what acne treatment product to try next (None of them ever work). When I saw this, I was intrigued by the fact that it's a pill, not a topical cream or wash. So, on a whim, I bought it. I expected it to be some bogus treatment just like everything else I've ever tried (I've been experimenting with acne treatment for years). I started taking the pills as directed, twice daily, and WOW. In only a few days I notice my skin clearing up. I've been using this for approximately two weeks now, and I am totally clear!! I haven't been acne free for YEARS! All that's left on my face are the scars from years of pimple popping. This product is the real deal. I'll be using this for many years to come. - Face - Natural - Acne - Teen'

Nintendo Ds - video games, mario

Visit Store Now !!

If you love Mario 64 you of course are going to love having your old game back in a handheld version. The game, however, is even better now that it is on the DS!

You start out as Yoshi but get to unlock doors to become Mario, Luigi and Wario! Having the map on the bottom screen is a wonderful feature and the plethora of mini-games is very exciting. You get to unlock them the more you play. The mini-games themselves are worth the purchase. You will really get a chance to use the stylus and the new touch screen capabilities.

This is a game for everyone. Parents will even enjoy several of the mini-games which are even accessible to those of us who are game-play challenged.

A must have for the DS. Super Mario 64 DS

Just bought this game to play with my new DS. The original 64 version made me nauseous (from the graphics), so I stopped playing it after a few weeks.

This game is a lot of fun. You start playing as Yoshi, and must rescue other characters throughout the game (including Mario) who then become playable. The levels are very well-rendered, and feature the fun characters that have made Nintendo famous (Princess Peach, Toad, etc.)

As well as a slightly revamped Mario 64, the game also includes several unlockabl mini-games that are a lot of fun. Making ample use of the touch screen, these games are quick and fun time wasters that I've actually spent as much time playing as Mario64 DS itself!

All in all, unless you really hated Mario 64 or dislike platformers, this is a good game. For any fans of Nintendo's Mario games, this is a must own.

Mario 64 for the DS is quite a bit of fun. I bought it because of all of the DS games available during the release, this was the only one that was interesting looking. I didn't really like the game that much when it was on the N64 due to the very blocky graphics, rough camera control, and really frustrating movement controls. Now however the controls are a bit easier to use and the graphics are much better but the camera control is still a bit rough.

Overall this DS version is much more interesting than the original game. Having 4 characters to work with and all of their individual styles and moves really adds to the fun. There is quite a bit of depth, freedom, and replay value in the game and i just keep coming back for more.

When i bought the game i was hoping that it would be something that my wife would be interested in playing as there aren't many videogames that she even tolerates to play. However, between the game itself and all of the minigames, she plays it almost as much as i do. In fact the one day that i took it to work with me to see if it would use the wi-fi network there, she IM'd me and gave me a hard time because she couldn't play it.

There are a few things that i don't like so much about the game. First, the camera control is still really annoying, especially in tight places. Secondly, while the control scheme is a little easier to use, it can still be really frustrating at times especially paired with the camera. Third and most important to me is the lack of respect. I'm refering to the lack of respect towards Luigi. Historically in the Super Mario series, games that did have Luigi tended to not give him credit for his work. For example Super Mario Brothers 3 if you beat the game with Luigi the princess says "Thank you Mario...". In the original game Luigi wasn't even a playable character. Now in the DS he is playable but he gets mocked by Toad (on multiple occasions), act's like a screaming girl, and is refered to and treated as an overly sensitive, sickly, and weak character. Doesn't the guy deserve some respect.

Well, enough of my ranting and raving. Overall, this is a really great game and i'm glad that i invested in it, and i'm guessing you probably will too.

Wow. this is an awesome game. It really keeps you interested and wanting do get more stars and beat bowser! This is definatly the best game out there for DS, and like I said, it will be for a long time. The graphics are amazing. The 3D characters just will blow you away. Heres the main story line:

Oh yeah u guessed it. Bowser steals Princes peach and blah blah blah. Well yeah, thats pretty much the story line. But, this time Yoshi, Luigi, and even Wario are along to help rescue the princess. You start of as Yoshi, and earn power stars as you go along in different levels, and you can enter new rooms when you get the needed stars. ( for example, the room with an 8 on it reqires 8 stars to enter.) There are 150 stars in all, and a whole bunch of "secret stars" that are a lot of fun to find and get. All together there are 15 levels and I know that seemes like nothing, but it really doesnt seem like it.

The levels each have 7 main power stars, and one other star that you can retrieve from it by getting 100 coins. ( those little yellow things that heal you.) Hmmm, lets see that only makes .... the 15 levels times 8 stars... 120 stars in the levels. So as you see, there are 30 "secret stars" that Ill leave you to find on your own.

The multiplayer in this game is not one of its best parts, but hey at least it has multiplayer right? Ok, the multiplayer is baisicly up to four people can play, and you always start out as Yoshi, but wherever you go there are hats of Mario Luigi and Wario. ( if you pick up a hat of a different character than who you are, you turn into that character)

There are mini games that you can unlock by finding rabbits around the castle and catching them. Each rabbit will give you a key that unlockes new minigames. In the "rec room" on the main menu, the minigames that you have unlocked will be displayed. Each character has their own unique set of minigame of which to coose from. Sure its kind of cheesey with catching the rabbits and all, but the minigames are pretty entertaining.

This game is not one of those games like Wario Ware Touched that you can beat in less than 24 hours. Oh no, this is the kind like when you were little and you played Pokemon for like 100 hours before you beat it kind of games. Ok, maybe not 100 hours, but it took me about two months of hard work all the time to get 80 stars and beat bowser for the last time. If you liked any preveous Mario games, you will like this one twice as much grarenteed! * Heres how I rate it:

Graphics - 9/10

Gameplay - 9/10

Story line - 4/10 Yeah, its all the same!

Replay Value after you beat it - 5/10 while still working - 8/10

Sound - 6/10 The same music and noises but its not bad.

Multiplayer - 6/10

Mini games - 7/10

Overall - 8/10

I hope that you enjoyed this reveiw and that it will help you!

PS- please tell if this reveiw helped you!

Smart Charger - battery charger, battery chargers

Visit Store Now !!

As my title states, this charger handles all four main types of large batteries: Lead Acid Auto Starter batteries, Deep Cycle Marine, AGM and Gel Cell. You select battery type and size and it takes care of the rest. When you first hook up the clips to the battery and plug in the charger, selecting battery type, it tests the battery and gives you the volts available as well as the percentage that battery is currently charged! Many times I've wanted to know that. You then select battery size and it starts charging. If you select 15 or 10 amps, when the battery is fully charged it goes into a maintenance mode automatically! You can leave the charger running forever - and it won't over charge the battery. Also - if your battery is damaged by sulfide build up, it detects that and runs a cycle to clean the battery and give it life again if it can. Wow. I wonder how many batteries I've replaced that could have been revived or kept alive by this charger?! This is going to save me a lot of money.

I purchased a new 850 cc amp deep cycle battery to use as an emergency power source for my amateur radio equipment (I'm a net control storm spotter for the National Weather Service Skywarn network). This brand new battery tested at 95% charged - so I fully charged it (while using the radio) and it worked fine. Charged up to 100% and went into maintenance mode automatically. Took the charger to the farm and connected it to a dead tractor battery. Showed 11% charged and began building the charge immediately. Was up to 15% in about 7 minutes when I had to leave. I'll have to update this review later to let you know if it was able to salvage that poor battery.

I know of no other chargers that test the battery, charge all types of batteries and can safely be left on to maintain them as well. Go check out the cost of Gel Cell battery chargers - and you'll find this is a deal.

BTW, if you forget to turn it from 'test' to 'charge', after 10 minutes or so this charger will automatically charge up the battery and keep it maintained for you! How easy is that? Schumacher SSC-1500A Ship 'n Shore SpeedCharge Charger with included 75-amp battery clamps

As others have noted, the percent-charged reading can be grossly misleading. My experience is that when it shows 100%, you can expect to continue charging for another couple of hours before reaching full charge. Other than that, this charger works well. The biggest consideration with this product, however, is life expectancy. While this charger comes with a five year warranty, you are unlikely to get anywhere near that before it dies. This has been my experience with several Schumacher battery chargers. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing in the way of comparable items by other makers to choose from.

I bought this charger to replace a 15yr. old manual charger that finally gave up the ghost. All I can say is that chargers have come a long way over the last decade and a half. This charger was about 1/3 the price of the one it replaced. It's easy to use and does a great job. I would prefer metal construction rather than the plastic, but given the price, that's a minor complaint. The fan is a bit loud, but I don't sleep in my garage so I don't see that as an issue either.

I've used this charger several times. Most recently to revive the battery in my wife's mini van. It was drained to less than 6v when my kids left the interior lights on. In the past, this would have been a death sentence for the battery, but the SSC-1500A was able to recharge it without any problems. It's been over 2 months and her car starts just fine. Considering it's winter in Alaska, that's no small feet for a battery that was drained as far as her's was.

The SSC-1500A was also able to breathe new life into a portable jump start battery that had recently started refusing to accept more than a 50% charge with it's included wall wart. I hooked the SSC-1500A's clamps to the portable batteries clamps, started the charge and left it overnight. The next morning the portable battery was back to full capacity.

I'll say it again, great charger for the price.

Purchased through Amazon the SSC 1500A charger arrived well packaged and in a timely fashion, as promised. My car battery was almost out of juice, having only enough to dimly illuminate the interior lights. Easy to hook up and get started at a "medium" size battery setting . The blinking yellow light came on, indicating that the battery was being desulfated. Left it on overnight and the next morning the "BAD" message was on the indicator panel. Car wouldn't start. Disconnected the charger for a few minutes, reconnected it and started over with same setting. Same yellow blinking light. came on. Left it for 24 hours and came back to find yellow blinking light still on. Checked the 'percent charged' indicator and it was at 19%. Car wouldn't start. Disconnected and reconnected again, this time increasing the charge rate to 15 amps by selecting the "large" battery setting. Came back 8 hours later and the "BAD" message was again on, and the percent charge was still 19 %. "

Highly annoyed and ready to send it back at this point, decided to keep trying as felt no way the battery could be bad. Reconnected, at the same "large setting and sat down to watch. Yellow blinking light stayed on for about 15 minutes and then went steady (unblinking). Percent charged started moving up and I was elated. Left and came back 6 hours later. The % charged indicator showed 60%, but the "BAD" indicator was on, along with the red light which indicated the same thing. Decided to try to start the car anyway. Started on the first crank with a strong burst from the starter motor. Left the engine running and got out of the car to find the % charged indicator moving steadily upward until it stopped at 72% about 5 minutes later. Turned of the car and left to let the battery become completely charged. Came back an hour later, " "BAD " message on again and battery 60% charged. Now totally peeved, disconnected the charger, vowing to return it. Opened the car door to put some stuff inside and noticed the interior lights were shining brightly. Car started up immediately and did so several times in a row. Two weeks later and it still starts up immediately. Problem solved---but obviously after a big hassle.

I think the issue must be in the microchip sensor or the circuitry of the charger. Probably does not effect every unit sold but definitely a good sign of poor quality control. I will still return the unit and if there is a hassle, I will let you know. - Battery Charger - Battery Chargers - Schumacher - Automatic Battery Charger'

Baby Nail Clippers - baby, child care

Visit Store Now !!

This little gem can easily file down the nails of your newborn. After hearing my brother-in-laws story about drawing blood from his newborn using an infant clipper my wife and I got this little device. This can safely file down my newborns nails and it won't injure her skin at all, it's amazing! The other reviewer may have had a problem with baby pulling away, I didn't have the problem at all. The little oscillation of the head seemed to be enjoyed by my little one. This is going to be a must-have nail file for all new parents, i'm going to buy a few as baby-shower gifts. Zo-li Buzz B. Baby Nail Trimmer

This is the best way to cut a newborn's nails and stop them from scratching themselves. Like many new moms, I was totally paranoid of hurting my baby when cutting his nails. However, he was born with sharp nails which needed to go. This nail filer was perfect. It comes with different filing pads for different baby ages and it worked like a charm. I tested it out on my own finger first and there was no way it would hurt baby. So much better than a regular file or nail clippers because it not only shortened the nail but it also buffed it so it wasn't sharp. I would recommend this to all new mommies/daddies.

As a 1st time parent, I was really afraid of filing my baby's nails. I had heard from older and younger parents how easily you can clip the tips of your baby's fingers with baby nail clippers. Almost every one of these parents admitted that it had happened to them, at least once. There, obviously, had been a huge need for a better alternative for generations. The Buzz B is the better alternative. It protected my daughter's delicate skin while filing her nails safely and quickly. The different colored file grades and well organized container helped me quickly and easily find the right file, every time. Over all, the Buzz-B gave me confidence and piece of mind, which are both hard to come by when you're a first time parent. I recommend the Buzz B to all new parents. I consider the Zo-li Buzz B Electric Nail Trimmer to be the best baby product ever invented, hands down!

I got this mail trimmer after cutting my newborns nails too short and getting her skin instead. This is so much easier and does not hurt her at all. The only draw back is it takes a little more time. Overall this is much easier and safer and makes me much happier!

I have a 2 1/2 year old, and the buzzb is great for him. He always wanted to try to trim his nails himself, but of course I couldn't trust him with nail clippers. Now I can give him the trimmer so that he can have a turn, then I take a turn to finish shortening his nails myself. I use the stronger pad for him, and it turns out great. Plus when he gets distracted and moves his hand suddenly, I don't panic thinking I have cut him the way I used to with nail clippers. Love it!

I am very happy that I purchased this item. It was very useful for my baby the first 3 or 4 months. I could do all of her nails w/o having to clip them. Now that she is 6 months old her nails are a lot harder and the Buzz-B is only good to smooth out the sharp edges of her nails. Which is fine as I am more comfortable with cutting her nails as she no longer screams or pulls away when I cut.

It's great if you're "filing" your baby's nails but I would not call it a nail trimmer. I tried it on both of my kids (7 months & 2 years) and the only thing it did was smooth the edges. I made sure I was using the correct colored file. I was so excited to get this & ended up being disappointed. - Child Care - Baby - Nail Care - Baby Nail Clippers'

I bought this game because my 3 1/2 year old craves knowledge and loves games. While the first level is geared for Grade 1, she has been able to answer 85% of all the questions without difficulty. I have played at grade 6 and found myself forgetting some of the answers. This game is just fantastic for aged 3-100 I would say. The game is even larger than I thought it would be. Included are a large spinner with all of the categories including Science, Math, Arts, Reading & The World. There is even a space of choose your category which is the most fun. I don't think anyone would be bored playing this game.

Certainly the best thing for breaks from school & summer time to keep young minds sharp! Brain Quest Smart Game - Learning - Learning Game - Children Game - Homeschool'
