sexy lingerie - sexy lingerie
The fabric is so silky, both the babydoll and matching thong feel wonderful on. The lace is nice and soft too, not to mention feminine and sexy! I've had mine for a while, so with propper care, they should last a long time. I just love this set! Satin Sorbet Babydoll , SMALL, PINK
This is a very nice example of that lingerie staple, the babydoll nightie. This babydoll is made of silky soft satin, with lacey cups, and a high slit, not to mention a matching thong pantie. I love the feel of this nightie, and I love the way it looks - and so does he. We both highly recommend this set. Buy it!
(Review of Satin Sorbet Babydoll)
My husband ordered this for me since he is returning from deployment soon. I really love it. It feels soft and makes me feel pretty. They way it hits on the hips hide my large thighs! I love it. A bit difficult to work bc of the straps in the back but hey, you are not really going to have it on for long right ; ) - Sexy Lingerie'

Ipod Classic Cases - ipod classic, ipod 160gb
I received these items nine days after I ordered them. Different kinds of protective cases are included. None are suited to 7G 160 that I own. None of them fit properly. Had the vendor identified this as an issue, I could have purchased something else. I have unpackaged each of the cases, so returning them is no doubt not possible. Be aware: If you have the 7th generation 160, these cases are all too small. 15-Item iPod classic Accessory Bundle
My suspicion on reading the description was that product quality must be low to provide that many items for the price. I went ahead and took the gamble anyway, and I'm happy to report my instinct was wrong. The items are as described and I'm very pleased. I needed a case and a portable charging option. I now have much more.
The cases in this product do NOT fit the 7th gen iPod Classic - not even close! Without the cases, you have about 6-7 dollars worth (here on Amazon) of assorted chargers and cables, most of which you may already have - I do. A deceptively marketed product does not deserve even one star, but this is Amazon's system. How about two big thumbs down for Amazon on this one?
I really wanted a new 160gb 7 Gen. Ipod and saw these accessories to go with it. I thought it was a good deal, so I purchased it along with it. I then read some reviews that the cases actually do not fit the IPOD 7th gen. I was then a bit worried that I wasted my money, and thought that I should have read more reviews before buying. Bottom line, I got the cases and they DO fit the 7th generation silver 160g Ipod. I was really happy about that! I tried all the cases but the black pleather one, but I'm assuming it will work as well, if not, I'm sure it will stretch. My favorite one is the hard clear plastic one, which fits perfectly. I would definitely recommend this item for the cases and the extra accessories if you buy a new IPOD.
The items arrived promptly and in good condition. All items seem to be of a good quality, which is amazing at the price. The earphones are not exactly of Bose quality but no complaints at the price.
If you are new to the ipod world - this pack is well worth the money.
This product is great! I've tried to use just about everything in this kit so far, and I've been pleased with two exceptions. They're so minute that it barely feels like a complaint!!! The hard clear plastic case you will get with this kit is beautiful, it's sturdy, and everything fits perfectly within the access cut-outs. My only complaint is that it seems to scratch easier than the mirrored backing of the iPod itself. It even takes contact damage from the apple, "iPod", and personal engraving on the back of my iPod. I had hoped it would have some form of scratch-proofing, but it solely serves to keep the iPod scratchless. Though it does feel a little like putting a Bose sound system in a trailer.
My only other small complaint is that in the kit I received a black (which i am using now instead of the clear plastic case mentioned above) rubber case and an opaque white rubber case. They're both beautiful and work quite well. They have a fully exposed bottom, for use with a dock, I suppose. That's not the complaint, the complaint is that my opaque white case has a half-moon/sliver cut out of the bottom opening. Barely noticeable, more than likely ignorable, but I am a stickler for the details.
Headphones sound great.
Armband fits both rubber cases well and is large enough to fit plus-sized arms.
Leather case is manufactured well and has a removable belt clip and has a magnetic face cover.
The mesh carrying bag is nice; it has a soft inside and a draw string.
USB car charger is light-weight, which isn't a reflection on quality when you realize that it's 95% plastic and wires.
The wall charger was in my wall about two minutes after the package got here and I love it. I use it with the retractable charger cable, which is GREAT!
All in all, BUY THIS PRODUCT!
I read the reviews before I purchased and felt that I couldn't go wrong....and I didn't! For the price of one ipod accessory at the retail shop, you can get all that you will probably ever need here to be mobile and protected.
I was skeptical like I'm sure most people would be by the number of accessories for the low price but don't be! For the price of probably 3 or 4 of these products, you get 15! All great quality and well worth the price! Highly recommended for any new ipod owners like myself! - Ipod Case - Ipod 160gb - Ipod Classic - Ipod Classic Cases'

Emergency Flashlight - cell phone charger, solar
Weather radios are sort of a hobby of mine. There is just about no place I can go on my property that there isn't one within reach somewhere. Six different brands are represented presently by what I own, including a more expensive Eton that is not my best radio. This small, (and I mean small) new line from Eton is a whole new animal to be sure. Its controls and design are very user friendly. And the reception on all channels, including the weather, is very loud and clear. Its true that the dial numbers for the AM FM are very small as some other reviewers have mentioned and can make it hard to tune accurately. But that is something common, as well as for me expected in a radio so small. What sets this unit apart from all the others I own in my opinion is its price and solar power. It is without a doubt the cheapest weather radio I have come across that is solar powered. Big, small, or otherwise. Even though one has been able to buy solar powered calculators at discount stores for less than $10 for years now, for some reason the weather radio industry has treated solar power as something still high tech and to be appreciated only in their most expensive units. My only other solar powered radio cost me over $60. The only possible down side that I should mention about this radio is that it does not take batteries. It would have been nice if they included that option. But they didn't and its either the solar power or crank. This could be a very big negative for some folks who would feel comfortable knowing they could just stick some batteries in it if all else fails. Although 90% of the time the solar power is all you should ever need, if you will routinely keep this in a rather dark place, or happen to be lost out in the savage wilderness someplace with this radio in a continuous cloud cover, be ready to do a whole heap of crankin'. All in all, its finally nice to see a very reasonably priced unit that is solar powered and of a very quality build and design as well. I highly recommend the Eton for a portable unit that can be taken anywhere easily, powered effortlessly, and gives quality performance all in one package.... Etón American Red Cross ARCFR160R Microlink Self-Powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger (Red)
This radio is an excellent radio for the price. No, it is not a top-end emergency radio, but it should work rather well for anyone looking for a basic AM/FM/Weather radio with both a solar and hand-crank charging option. I purchased mine about a year ago and used it only occasionally for the first few months. Then I placed it on a shelf with limited light and there it sat for about six to eight months. About six weeks ago I dusted it off and it actually worked for about an hour or so with no hand-crank charging. Later that day I sat it in the front window where it would get plenty of direct sun light. A couple days later I picked it up from the window and have been using it a few hours each day since; some of those days it was used for more than six hours in the basement. I have not needed to crank it at all, but did crank charge it for about one minute total just while playing with it - for the record. Since then, I have been keeping it on the shelf out in the open where it is exposed to normal room daylight, no direct sunlight. The charging light does not light up in this setting, and I would not expect it to. I have occasionally taken it out on the front porch to sit a listen where there is direct sunlight, but only for about an hour or so each week. I really like the idea of not having to buy batteries, and the convenience of knowing I always have a charged radio.
The flashlight is minimal, but I would not expect more from an LED light source. I have my 6-D-Cell Mag light if I need a powerful (luxury) light source.
Tuning the radio is a bit sensitive and can be difficult to fine tune. I would consider this to be a SIGNIFICANT problem for an elderly person or anyone without the use of fine motor skills in their hands; but for me it is a minor hassle I am willing and able to deal with. I have considered getting the Eaton FR600 for its digital tuner. The reviews for that model suggest the battery life is pretty bad, so I have decided to wait for an improved model. For now, my FR160 is just fine. I would consider giving this 5-stars if the fine-tuning was much easier.
The USB charge does work, but know that it will not charge an iPhone 3Gs. This is more a problem/restriction of the iPhone 3Gs (a widely discussed complaint across the Internet for many-many generic charging devices) and is not because of the radio. Charging my old Samsung phone was not a problem.
The weather bands do pick up a signal, but to be absolutely honest, I have not used it much to provide any real opinion.
The hand-crank charger feels solid enough (I wouldn't abuse it) and tucks away securely when not used. I have found the manual crank-charger will provide about 25-30 minutes of radio time (at about 1/4 to 1/3 volume) for every minute of crank-charging. I average about 2 cranks per second or about 120 rotation per minute. Now I just count to 120 or so instead of watching the clock. This play-time per craink-time yeild has been very acceptable for me. After two minutes of crank-charging my hand does begins to tire a little, but just a little. If I leave the radio in a place with good direct sunlight when not using it, changing via the crank is never even needed.
In short, it works for what I want - a radio that that can be charged by sunlight or by hand-crank when absolutely necessary. If you want the construction and feature-set of a $100+ radio - buy a $100+ radio. But, for $30 (or less), I am pleased with the FR160. - Cell Phone Charger - Emergency Flashlight - Crank Radio - Solar'

Outdoor Speakers - awesome speakers, great sound
Sound quality is better than expected. After much research these seemed to have a pretty good rating from other sources. There really isn't anything about them that we don't like. They were easy to install and we can blast them or mellow out with them. Would recommend to friends. Yamaha NS-AW350W 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair, White)
I bought 2 pairs of these for my backyard. I placed them across the patio. The speakers are larger then I expected but it didn't effect my install. Just take a quick measurement if your mounting in tight spaces. The mounting brackets can be mounted either Vertically or Horizontally, and allow you to adjust the speakers either Vertically or Horizontally but not both. This will depend which way you mount them. The sound output on these speakers is wonderful. I have them hooked up to an Onkyo receiver, and if I crank it up the backyard is jumping. The speakers produce crisp clear sound and perform well. They are a little weak on the bass. I added the wired sub that came with my Onkyo receiver to complete my sound. But even without the sub these speakers rock. I am sure you can find better speakers for a lot more money. Buy why would you. Enjoy
I've had these speakers for a week or so. They are a fairly large sized speaker, so make sure to measure if placing in "tight" places. When doing my research for this purchase, I of course visted Amazon as I always do, but I also went to a local Best Buy, where they had a variety of outdoor speakers to choose from. I must be honest when I say I'm a Klipsch man at heart, and if I was willing to spend and extra $200.00 on a pair of outdoor speakers, I would have bought the Klipsch speakers. In my honest opinion the sound quality of the Klipsch speakers had a fuller more natural sound compared to the Yamahas; I find the Yamahas to be a little on the "tingy" side. I've owned various speakers in the past including polk (which I hated) Klipsch, Yamaha, etc. Nothing beats Klipsch speakers, but for the money these speakers are definitely a great buy. One more thing about these speakers; actually the mounting brackets that come with the speakers. The mounting brackets attach to the speaker in a way that makes you have to mount the speaker vertically instead of horizontally in order to direct the speaker to get the best sound imaging. I really wanted to mount horizontally, because I thought they looked better up in the corners of my porch area, but in order to direct the speakers down towards the listening area I had to mount vertically. It would have been nice to be able to position the speaker either way, but unfortunately this is not the case. Anyways, good speaker for the price, but still doesn't sound as nice as a good pair of Klipsch. As always you get what you pay for.
The highs are crisp and the bass is good, overall a nice warm sound. This is surprising considering that these are outdoor speakers. Be aware that these are 6 ohm speakers, so you need an amplifier with "guts". My 100 watt Sony would overheat and cut off. However, the Harmon Kardon with 55 watts played these speakers superbly, its just not in the wattage.
Mounting the speakers vertical or horizontal with the enclosed brackets may turn out to be a misnomer for some consumers. The direction can only be controlled in the vertical position. This is important in high mounts with the need to point the speakers downward. Of course you can just devise your own mounts. Overall , these are a great speaker and carry a terrific low price.
These speakers simply sound great. For me, they have passed the test of low key relaxing afternoons by the pool, to large and loud back yard parties, to rough Midwest winters by the hot tub. They have exceeded my expectations in both sound and quality. I have had my set for over three years now and they are still going strong. I'm now looking to add another pair. My only complaints would be: 1) They are much bigger than you think. 2) In order to turn them right or left you have to mount them horizontally, which can be awkward. 3) After about two years the white really started to become yellow (because of this my next set will be the black model). All in all, if these $80 speakers can keep pounding out good quality sound for over three years, you can't go wrong.
Way beter than Bose 101 & Infinity Outriggers. Previously owned both and installed at the same place and the bass, clarity, sound dispertion from the Yamaha's is way better by far. The price is not attached to the quality neither of the speaker or the sound.
Highly recomend them! 10 stars**********.
I've had these speakers outside for use on my deck for about 9 months now. I am completely pleased with my purchase. The sound quality is great, especially for the $85 I paid. Just be aware of the size when ordering. These are not the tiny little satellite speakers that you sometimes see used for outdoor speakers underneath the eaves of a house. They are full size speakers which contributes to the very respectable amount of bass response that they are capable of. I have very wide eaves on my house so this was not an issue. 4 stars because there are better sounding speakers out there if you are willing to pay a lot more for them. On the "Bang for Your Buck" scale these definitely rate 5 stars. - Best Value - Great Sound - Awesome Speakers - Outdoors'

Walking - fitness, step counter
This is the best pedometer that I have owned and yes I have had 4 of them...I reviewed many and am very happy with this purchase!!! It keeps accurate information for review for 7 days and does break down regular to moderate steps taken, miles and time...so if you walk, it keeps an accurate record...if you jog or speed walk, it keeps that accurate under moderate steps...It is not bulky, the clip holds tightly (even when you jog or speed walk) and it is very easy to read the numbers...What an easy set up also with the instuctions provided! I would highly recommend this one!! With my Amazon Prime membership, shipping was free and it came in 2 days!
This is a great pedometer. It works perfectly. I've owned others, and this one is the best. It has no frills whatsoever. It's a pedometer, pure and simple. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.
There's just one problem: It's so small, it's easy to lose. Mine lasted 2 weeks. I'm ordering another one.
Brought this thing on a trip to Disney with me to keep track of how much I was walking each day. To ensure it was accurate I took it jogging with me on a treadmill a couple times before. It was always within .1 mile of what I actually jogged. VERY accurate!
This is a lightweight pedometer that is easy to set up and use. Mine lasted about 3 days. I think it must have slipped off my belt when I sat down somewhere, because on the 3rd day of use I suddenly noticed that it wasn't there anymore. Maybe a stronger belt clip would have prevented the loss. It was a good product while it lasted.
June, 2009: This seemed like a good pedometer while it lasted. The first one slipped off my belt and disappeared so I bought a new one. It seemed to count steps accurately but after a couple of months the back of the pedometer that has the clip separated from the body of the pedometer. It seems that the little screws that hold the clip to the body came out and got lost. Now I have a pedometer in two pieces and no little screws to put it back together. I'm reluctant to buy this same device for the third time, though it worked well during its brief lifespan.
I bought two, one for my wife and one for me. Set up is easy, you just enter height, weight and set the clock. You don't have to enter your stride length. We have had the pedometers for about a month. They work well and seem to be way more accurate (on step count) than other pedometers that we have tried. There is a 4 second delay before it starts logging steps so I think it does a better job of recording true steps as opposed to every little jiggle you may make (it does count the steps you make in those first 4 seconds too). In addition to total steps it also logs moderate step count and time, defined as steps taken in the 3.0 to 6.0 METs as defined by the American College of Sports Medicine. The display is easy to read. The clip keeps the pedometer in place well. It has a seven day memory and automatically starts a new day of logging steps at midnight. We don't use the calorie and mileage trackers. Battery saver function is nice - it turns off the display after 5 minutes with no button being pressed (it does log steps even when the display is off).
This pedometer works great! It doesn't overcount (like if I shake my knee) like many others I tried. The moderate step counter is great for walkers and aerobic exercisers who want to track their progress and be sure their pace is good. The calorie counts seem low compared to the elliptical machine or charts for exercise, but that should just make you want to work harder to get the count higher.
I am on my fourth Omron HJ-151 Hip Pedometer. It works really well and seems to be very accurate in its count of steps. The features are great- all of them work well for me. I love this pedometer and I only have one issue. I keep losing it! One of my favorite features of the pedometer is its size, but it comes with a drawback- the belt clip is small, and the pedometer falls off. The spring clip in itself is strong- but it wriggles its way up the waist of my pants, and inevitably falls off. This time, I attached a rubber band to the pedometer and wound it around my belt loop in an attempt to keep it from falling. It has worked so far and is an inexpensive security device to keep this pedometer in place.
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this thing is to work and how completely accurate it is. I work in a hospital and it clips and stays easily on my scrubs. I've already bought another one as a gift. One day I held it in my hand and walked over 300 steps with complete accuracy ... I can't ask for any better than that. The moderate steps feature is so important to me. There have been days when I felt like I was on my feet all day and my steps may have been near my 10,000 a day personal goal... but the moderate minutes were only 5-10. So I know that I still have some work to do to get to the 30 minutes goal of moderate exercise each day. I think it's a great motivator. - Fitness - Omron Pedometer - Step Counter - Walking'

Cell Phone Accessories - screen protectors, seidio
I have to say, I've probably spent and esitmated $100 on trying to protect my HTC Incredible screen. I've brought the Seidio and the Amzer protectors along with the Splash and none of them have lived up to this screen protector. First the directions are clearly stated and easy to follow. Next, it states that to use some type of credit card or store card so that you can easily elimanated any of the bubbles that form after applying the screen protector to the phone,along with the applicator card that is inlcuded with these. It took me a total of 10 minutes to apply and get it perfecftly fitted onto the phone. The price is also excellent and not outrageous as some of the other screen protector companies try to sale them for. I have say that finally I found a winner with this product.

2 Tb External Hard Drive - western digital, 2tb
I purchased this hard drive expecting it to behave like a typical external hard drive. I wanted to plug it in and see a single drive letter in My Computer.
However, this drive has more "advanced" features that require WD software. The drive presents itself as a CD-ROM drive as well as a hard drive. This virtual CD drive is supposed to contain the drivers to use the advanced features. The hard drive is inaccessible without the WD software. However, Windows 7 x64 is unable to locate the drivers for the virtual CD drive. Therefore the advanced drivers cannot be installed. The drive is unusable on Windows 7 x64. WD does not provide any downloads on the website allowing you to manually install the proprietary software. I contacted support, they told me to wait for an update. They recommended an RMA, even though we both agreed that this was a software, not hardware issue. Even so, if this had worked properly it adds extra bloatware to your computer that is not necessary. I replaced this with an equivalent Seagate. The Seagate behaved exactly as expected, plugin -> drive letter, done.
In summary, this drive requires proprietary software to function. This software does not work on Windows 7 x64 at this date. Get a drive without these requirements and save yourself a headache. Western Digital My Book Essential 2 TB USB 3.0/2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
The 2TB WD External Hard Drive (EHD) arrived a couple of weeks ago and it was a snap to attach to my computer. It is USB 3.0-enabled, but it is USB 2.0 compatible, so it attached quickly and easily to an available USB 2.0 port. It is REALLY DIFFICULT to find the "best" EHD (or anything else, for that matter), since one tends to see lots of "pro" and lots of "con" reviews. This particular EHD seemed to have a reasonably good ratio of "pro" to "con," so I ordered it. So far, it has performed well -- i.e., it has not failed (as did my Seagate -- which the WD replaced -- very early in its career). However, the WD-provided backup software is a major drawback.
Pros:
* Attaches easily to an available USB 2.0 or 3.0 port
* Starts up when the computer is started up
* Operates silently and transparently
* Good capacity for the $$
Cons:
* The included backup software is very, very poor -- in fact, it is worse than useless. It does not allow one to choose specific files or folders to backup; instead, one is forced to choose the "type" of files one wants backed up to the EHD. This is sort of like picking up pennies wearing boxing gloves, i.e., awkward and frustrating. But it is actually worse than that -- the WD-provided software does NOT actually back up all of the files of the selected file types. Consequently, utilizing this backup software is a really bad idea if one is serious about reliable backups. The software included with my defunct Seagate drive ("Seagate Manager") was significantly better. In any event, I have acquired third-party backup software as a work-around.
* When the computer powers off, the WD EHD sits and flashes its light. It SEEMS as if it has spun down, but it would be nice if it completely powered down -- as, once again, my defunct Seagate used to do. (To be fair, I suppose I should give it 10 or 15 minutes to see if it eventually completely powers down......)
MyBook Essential 2tb sets up okay. Software and driver is installed on the drive so when you connect the software and driver is installed. You will probably have to check WD website for driver update and firmware update, etc. Beware, if your PC does not have already installed and turned on the Microsoft. Net Framework Client Profile, you will either have to locate it and turn it on or you will have to download it and turn it on. In my case I have a new PC with Windows 7 64-bit OS. The Microsoft. Net Framework Client Profile (version 3.5.1) was installed on my PC (probabley came with Win 7) but it was not turned on (for whatever reason). So, WD Tech Support had me check this item and turn on the two available options for the Framework and reboot the PC. Problems that I was having was either the PC did not recognize this WD MyBook Essential HD on Startup or the external HD would disconnect from the OS on its own. The other problem that occured after I did my first / initial Backup of data from the PC to this drive, is that the WD SmartWare menue would no longer open. If you want to do automatic backups, per WD product description, you will need this WD SmartWare application. The WD SmartWare application needs the Microsoft. Net Framework Client Profile turned on in order for WD SmartWare to operate. Right now I am not real pleased with this new USB 3.0 external drive. Yes, it is connected to the PC via USB 3.0 cabel and USB 3.0 PCI port on the motherboard. USB 3.0 is not 10 times faster than USB 2.0, but it is faster as long as the drive works properly, which remains to be seen.
Update:
All the things WD had me do to make the 2tb HD work properly have not worked. My PC refusses to recognize this HD. So, both the 2tb & 1tb (which I did not set up) are being returned to Amazon.com for a refund. Great service from Amazon.com.
Exactly what the problem is I do not know and I do not think WD is able to resolve the situation. WD will replace the 2tb HD however, at this point I can not trust the unit to function properly with Win 7 64-bit. - 2 Tb - Western Digital - 2tb - My Book'

Iphone 3gs Charger - iphone 3gs charger, iphone 3g charger
Being an iPhone 3GS user, I know how expensive the simplest items can get. If you love to spend money and want the best of everything, this may not be the product for you. If you are like me and just want something that works and won't break my heart when it stops working or comes up missing - then this is a great deal.
Such a good deal that I got several of them and I have them in my car, my wife's car (she has an iPhone 3G), and I pass them out to my friends as nice gifts.
The charger feels like a toy, very light and I wondered if it even worked, but after several months of a hard life in my Jeep, it has proven to be a champ. Car Charger for Apple iPod iPhone 3G 3GS (White)
I tried first time and it charged my new iPhone. Second time it didn't charge instead overheated my iPhone. Since then my iPhone is acting wierd. In the middle of an app, it exits. Hangs for couple minutes for no reason. Starts iTune out of nowhere.
Be carefull, don't fall for a cheaper piece. Pay extra and get a decent one. I do not recomment this to anyone.
I spent more on the shipping than I did for the charger itself. IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK. Eforcity doesn't refund shipping and handling..so returning it would be pointless. I'm really annoyed that all of these reviews are so great and the merchandise I buy is broken.
I bought 3. One overheated, even though it worked. I'm afraid to use it now. The other blew a 5amp fuse in my cigarette lighter but the phone was saved, thank goodness. The third I gave as a gift and now can't remember who it was. I feel guilty because it could destroy their phone.
Please BE CAREFUL using this product. If it gets hot, you might consider the possibilities for your car and your phone. Is it really worth it?
I bought this cause the crappy battery life of my 3gs and need a little something extra to make it through the day. Was cheap and fit my budget. I have used this charger for a month now about 4 times a week regularly and nothing is wrong yet. I liked it so much I bought one for a relative. I have tested this charger with the 3gs and the 1st gen ipho e and both work.
From the reviews it looks like this product is a hit-n-miss. Bought it because it was cheap and cheap is as cheap gets with this thing. It turned out to be another cheap charger that works for a few days but later fails.
I used this charger for 2 days, everything seemed fine. On the 3rd day of use, I started the car with the charger plugged in, but without the iphone connected to the charger. At this time, I started smelling a distinct burning smell. which i finally traced back to the charger. I quickly unplugged it and let it cool down, waited 5 minutes, then plugged it back in along with the iphone plugged in. The red light did not come on and the phone was the charging. Be warned of this issue when using this item. For now, I will look for another one here listed on amazon. - Iphone 3gs Charger - Car Charger - Iphone 3g Charger - Iphone'

Black And White Diamonds 3d Cat Necklace - netaya, black diamond
I chose this necklace for a friend of mine to remind her of her favorite cat who passed away. He was all black with just a small white spot on him. Hence black diamonds with just a few white diamonds. When it arrived I was surprised that it was smaller than it looked in the image. However, my friend is very petite and it is the perfect size for her. It is very pretty and comes in a great box perfect as gift wrap. I took her out for her birthday dinner and when she opened it even the waitress loved it. Her husband even commented that it was really a great reminder and looked so nice on her. The chain is delicate so if you are thinking of getting it for a child be aware of that but I so recommend this necklace if you are looking for something that is very pretty and isn't overwhelming in size. 10K White Gold 1/3 ct. Black and White Diamond "Cat" Pendant with Chain
I bought this as a gift for my best friend who is a veterinarian. It is very dainty and elegant-- not so big that she can't wear it to work (it doesn't scream "CAT LADY!" haha), and it can be worn with jeans or formal wear. It was a great buy because I saw a basically identical necklace at a local jewelry store for twice the price. - Black Diamond - Netaya - Diamond Accented - Black Diamond Cat'

Chain Lube - topeak, oil
I am in a very dry dusty area and I ride a mountain bike almost exclusively in the desert 15 to 30 miles at a time. I have used ProLink for several years and am as satisfied as I can be with its lubricating qualities. I am picky about my bike maintenance and the possibilities if getting left on the trail in a 115 degree heat so I maintain my bike chain differently. I actually have 2 chains, one is on the bike, and the other is in the soup or drying. I start each ride with a clean and lubed chain, when I am through my chain comes off and goes in solvent for 24-48 hours, the bike is cleaned and inspected and a clean and lubed chain goes on. I use the 32 oz ProLink and dunk the whole chain after the solvent is rinsed and the chain has been hung and it is dry; I then let it drip for a few hours back into the container. I then cap the container and hang the chain upside down for another 12 or so hours, wipe it down with brake clean and install. The links are what need to be lubed, not the outside, which is why I use a rag with brake clean to wipe the outside so there is no oil film to atract dust. Works for me, may be too much effort for everyone. Pro Gold Products ProGold ProLink Chain Lube, 4oz
I've been riding quality bikes for more than 50 years and doing all the maintenance on them. I've used many different types of chain lube over those years and ProLink is the best. I wipe the chain down after every ride and relube prior to the next ride. Chain and chainring wear is now negligble.
This is a good chain lube. But, when applying it to the chain, it not only runs out the end of the nozzle, but between the nozzle and container. I bought two and both do the same thing. You can't squeeze to speed up application, just let it run out via gravity. - Cycling - Topeak - Oil - Chain Oil'

Iphone 3gs Case - iphone, iphone 3g case
This was exactly what I was looking for! Fits the phone like a glove without making it bulky. It slides on easy and doesn't mess up my screen protector causing those annoying bubbles that let dirt under them like other covers did. Perfect protection for my phone (considering I drop mine a lot)!! I am so satisfied with the quality of the product that this is the only product I have actually taken the time to write a review about. Seller ships out quickly too!! Apple iPhone 3G 3Gs 8GB 16GB 32GB Textured Silicone Skin Case Cover + Free Screen Protector, Pink, One Size
I ordered this case as I wanted to get something to protect my fragile new iPhone 3gs. There were a lot of choices out there so I figured I'd go with something inexpensive that had a screen protector and had gotten solid reviews.
I have the white version of the iphone so I went with a white case. It shipped quickly and arrived safely. I was pleased initially with the case, specifically the screen protector which once properly applied has stayed snugly in place and doesn't seem to limit screen sensitivity. However, the case itself is another story. When I first put it on, (keep in mind that no directions are included), it fit nicely. It's not the greatest looking case but I've seen worse. It has a sort of cheap look to it; not something a professional would likely want to use at the workplace but one that a teen might enjoy. After about a month or so of use the case became extremely stretched out. It now is so loose it that it is almost worthless to put it on the phone. Mainly I use it for protection while in my purse but when it comes out, off comes the cover.
So I would only recommend this to someone who wants something cheap for their teenager and who wants a reliable screen protector. Othewise, I would search for something with more quality.
I feel my phone is definitely better protected than without a case. This product is lightweight and easy to "install". I've found only 2 drawbacks; 1. There isn't an opening to show off the Apple Logo on the back of the phone. 2. The fabric is sticky, so it's difficult to slide the phone into the pocket of my purse or pants.
Well definitely this is one of the slimmest silicone iPhone covers I've ever seen. And despite of that, it does provide "OK" protection (I've drop it a couple of times now with no impact on chassis). However I kept wondering if the sellers have two models, a quality one and a sloppy one, because many reviewers have praise the quality of this skin case. Unfortunately mine is definitely sloppy. The cut outs are not even, they don't fit correctly at the camera side nor the silencing lever. For me the worst part is that, since it fails to provide a firm grab, it moves around to much to the point that I'm always pushing out the screen protector (which comes with the skin case and is in fact pretty good) from the edges of the phone .
Honestly I was expecting a little more even despite the price.
I bought the clear one because of the subtle swirl design and figured it would look okay with my white 3GS. However, after a few days, nice clear color started to yellow and was much more noticeable BECAUSE my iphone was white...
The silicone case has held so far (abt 2-3 weeks) but the screen protector came off in 7-10 days. While the screen protector was there, although it changed the look of the iphone quite a bit (nothing to blame the product as such) funcitonality wise it was ok. Havind bought and returned a black case in store, I ordered the white online since the black wasnt there and the white isnt appealing. It changed the look of the phone and if given an another option I would love to have the black.
This is without a doubt the best cover I've bought for my iPhone 3GS. And for 1/4 the price of those other covers you'll buy anywhere else. I'm 100% satisfied with this purchase and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in buying it. Fits like a glove and the bumps on the side and top for the volume and sleep button works out great for me. - Iphone - Iphone 3g Case - Iphone 3gs Case - Iphone 3g Accessories'

Laptop Screen Cleaner - glass cleaner, lens cleaner
I purchased a bottle of Purosol Optical cleaner upon the recommendation of a Nikon rep for cleaning my expensive Pro glass. The product works wonders, it removes finger prints, water marks, pollens etc. completely and without streaking. As a few others have mentioned the cloth that is part of the kit can leave lint behind, but I have found that the Kinetronics Panther and Tiger cloths do wonders in combination with Purosol.
Unlike many of the cheaper lens cleaning products Purosol does is *not* solvent based. The solvents in these products run the risk of damaging lens and filter coatings. I was more than happy to find an effective quality cleaner that would not pose a risk to those coatings on expensive lenses and filters. Purosol All Natural Lens Cleaner 1oz.
I've been using "regular" lens cleaning solution for my SLR lens with microfiber cloth for years, and I didn't have much complaint. It's just those solutions probably are mostly distilled water, just didn't see those solutions do much on the lens itself. I just cleaned the lens with gentle elbow grease I guess... Then I heard about Purosol from my colleagues and thought to give it a try. It sprays like any other solution, but it does wipe off dirt and prints without much rubbing at all. Apply the solution to the lens (or a piece of microfiber cloth) and sort of very lightly rub the lens with circular motion, and the dirt disappears. I guess it is water-based so it does not dry immediately, but it does not leave any visible streak at all. One thing I am very impressed about is after I wipe the lens, if I blow my breath on the lens to see streaks, there are a lot fewer streaks than what I would see with other solution, or water alone. All I need to do is to very lightly buff the surface of the lens, then I don't see ANY streaks. This cleaner is totally worth the money and to protect your investment in lens, there is no better cleaning solution out there.
I am a photographer and use my Tokina fisheye frequently. As any photographer knows, a fisheye does not take any filter what so ever. It is easy to get it dirty with grease or other kind of dirty. I found it necessary and advisable to buy a good cleaner for my fisheye. What I basically wanted was a cleaner that was safe to the lens coatings and that does not leave any streaks. Puresol All Natural Leans Cleaner fits all my expectations. It is an excellent product. It removes greasy stains and other kinds without leaving streaks. I also found it safe for the coating of my lenses. I recommend it as safe and efficient cleaner. It worths the money you pay for. A piece of adivice for you: If you paid US$ 1,000.00 or over for you lens, why should you buy a cheap cleaner solution that can damage it? Do not take any risk!
having bought some cleaning kits off Amazon that come with free cleaner (all of which I tossed), I wanted something that wasn't going to possibly damage my expensive camera lenses. This stuff works great and leaves my lenses looking spotless.
I use this cleaner on a coated GPS screen because it is alcohol free and doesn't damage the anti glare coating. I also use it on professional camera lenses for the same reason. In my opinion, this is the highest quality cleaner I could find. Not cheap so use sparingly. I recommend the micro fiber cloth to go with it.
I tested this against Flents Wipe 'N Clear Eyeglass Lens Cleaner 8 fl oz (232 ml) and I really wanted to like the Flents better due to price, however, after testing them side by side for weeks I have to say I really like the Purosol cleaner better.
I tested the 2 on both my Costa Del Mar sunglasses and on all of my camera lenses and filters. The Purosol bottle and cap are much nicer, you would not think this would matter but when you are packing it the heavier plastic of the bottle matters, and the better spray cap makes a huge difference. The Purosol mists on the lens, and the Flents puts a lot of heavy drops down, so much that it foams. I truly believe that the 4oz. Purosol will last LONGER than the 8oz. Flents due to the volume of spray. Also, with my sunglasses, because of the misting action I can cover both lens at the same time, with the Flents each lens has to be sprayed separately.
As far as cleaning goes, both of these products does a great job of cleaning the lens, however the Flents, because it puts more down, requires more buffing, and if you are using a small microfiber cloth to clean it off, like the 3M Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth, Color May Vary, 1 Count that I used for the test, the cloth used for the Flents solution is soon wet and will not buff.
I highly recommend this product and it will now be the only lens fluid that I use.
I trust this cleaner enough to use it on all of my pro lenses that $1800+. After the amazing job it does cleaning your filters it will do the same to your front element. It leaves the surface feeling clean and slick feeling resulting in less dust and particles getting onto the surface. I will definately continue using this cleaner before I go out for the day. Quality product that is worth the price. - Glass Cleaner - Lens Cleaner - Camera Lens - Eyeglass Lens Cleaner'

Auto Cassette Adapter - cassette adapter, ipod
I turned to this product after realizing a fancy Belkin plug-in device wouldn't work well for me because my car's tuner automatically seeks out strong stations. This cost about one-eighth what I paid for the Belkin and works beautifully, even if it is a little tacky looking with the wire coming out of my dashboard. I've had it for several months now and I've had no problem, just lots of clean powerful sound, although my car's Bose speakers probably have something to do with that, too.
UPDATE: More than a year later, it's still going strong. Sony CPA 9 Car Audio Cassette Adapter
The Sony CPA-9 is indeed a quality accessory for being able to listen to devices through your car's cassette player...However, this is NOT the Sony CPA-9 but rather the Sony CPA-9C.
This seller feigned ignorance about the origins of the model but has not made one attempt to correct the 'error'
The difference?...The CPA-9C is made in China and well documented inferior product quality to the one made in Japan, the CPA-9
Honest omission or deliberately misleading?
For the most part - I am disappointed with this product. For years I've purchased the generic Radio Shack adapters- but found the price of Sony adapter appealing. Most times after popping it in my cassette deck- it shoots back out and my stereo screen displays "Error" (This could be do the cold weather climate I live in- but the Radio Shack adapter was never this bad). Additionally, the sound quality is not as good as Radio Shack's (it's not bad- but it could be better).
It worked in my Honda. Depending on the song you may have to adjust the volume on the ipod and/or stereo. It usually sounds best with the ipod is turned halfway or less and the stereo is turned up. It DID NOT work AT ALL in my boyfriends VW.
I bought this one since I've been using the same one for the last 10 years.
However, this one is not working after using it only for 3 months.
I couldn't understand it, but now I understand from SMAnsari's review..
It's not the one I used to have.
It's made in China, not Japan.
Do not buy this one.
It didn't work in my 99 Saturn OEM stereo. It just keeps ejecting. I found a number of work-arounds which involved taking the adapter apart. None of them worked. And to make it worse, this adapter is melted together so to disassemble it you have to break the plastic apart.
Don't buy it if you plan to use it in a late 90s stock Saturn stereo. That probably goes for other GM autos as well.
I have had this adapter for over 1o years and it hasn't failed me yet. I accidentally found it a few weeks ago in some boxes I never unpacked from my previous move two years ago. I was glad I found it because I've already gone through three of the other cassette adapters I've been using. This unit is of superior craftsmanship (as much as can be said for a plastic piece of merchandise). I use this adapter for playing my Zune in my car. The sound quality is way better then other adapters I've used and because of the frictionless turn mechanisms my tape player doesn't click like crazy while this adapter is in operation. Also, I like that the cable is of a single strand reducing the risk of snags and cuts that my other inferior, double wired, adapters suffered. I highly recommend this product to any ipod or zune user that still has a cassette player in their car. - Ipod - Cassette Adapter - Cpa-9 - Saturn'
