When you receive the Livescribe pen, you get a starter notebook and this is the size of this A5 notebook, except there are thirty more pages than in the starter notebook. If you have yet to buy a smartpen or no longer have the starter notebook, go into a word document and do a page set up, there should be an option for an A5 page and that it the size of the notebook.



Size: I give this a 5/5 because when you are working on a desk with limited space, like a school desk or on with a computer, this size is perfect. Since it is smaller than the three-subject or single-subject notebook of regular sized paper, you can write easier without needing to maneuver the notebook around to write across the page or down at the bottom. Overall, the size is perfect for what I need.



Layout: I give this a 4/5 because the bottom buttons are laid out across two pages since the notebook is small. So, unless you do not fold the notebook in half and leave it opened, you will have to flip to get to the other buttons. There are no margins in the notebook which is a little weird. The last line does not reach all the way across the page; instead, it is indented some to leave room for the menu key. I think they could have taken that line out and put the other buttons onto the page using that space. Near the bottom by the perforated line is- 1Subject A5 Notebook #: Page #- on every page in all four notebooks, which seems weird since there is already a page number at the bottom corner of the page. You can write over it and the writing still shows up, so that is fine, just annoying. But overall, the layout works just fine for a small notebook.



Front and Back Cover: On both covers are four bubbles. The top bubble is a calculator which works just fine if you need something like that. Underneath that is a status bubble (date, time, battery, storage, audio settings, software version) and a settings bubble (date and time, display (brightness, scroll control, left handed, right handed), volume). Below the status bubble is the menu button called the nav plus which looks like a plus sign with arrows on it. I give this a 5/5 because the controls are what you need to do various tasks with your pen.



Cost: I give this a 4½/5 because it is cheaper than the 1 subject notebooks 4 pack, but not by much. I think that this note book could be a little cheaper since it is smaller and has fewer pages than the single-subject. However, for portability, I think that the price is pretty fair for what it is.



Overall this notebook is a good buy. It is more portable than the 3 or 1 subject notebooks that are regular sized as it can easily be slipped into a purse or a cargo pocket, and it won't take up a lot of space in a briefcase or backpack. If you are looking for something smaller and lighter than an 8½" by 11" options, but big enough to write a lot, then this notebook is for you. Livescribe A5 Single Subject Notebooks 4pk

I'm glad to see Amazon has started carrying these books. Previously I had purchased them on the Livescribe site and had to pay postage.



Having used both the full sized notebook that came with my Pulse pen and the elegant smaller bound ones, I have to say the spiral bound A5 books are my all time favorite.



This size makes it nice to sit at a conference room table and take notes with my laptop next to me and not take up too much room. The spiral allows you to fold the book in half. Though I really liked the elegant smaller bound ones they took up twice the width in use and had to be held open (not hard to do, as they were nicely made).



Another thing I have noted is the price for these notebooks in general is comparable to high quality notebooks without the ability to use the Livescribe pen. I can't complain about that.



I've noted for my purposes these books would hold about 4 months of meeting notes, so a pack of 4 would be a years supply.



Note however, that I have 3 books going at all time. 1. for work. 2. for personal 3. for a journal. So if you combine all these you might go through one quicker. If I were a student all bets would be off as I was a prodigious note taker. For me writing stuff down was a way of remembering things. Just sharing this to set a reference for usage.



The only way I would improve upon these would be to have a built in folder, if I wanted to store other papers and a means of noting your progress in the book, so I could quickly turn to the last page I was on. I close the book when carrying, so as not to damage the pages.

I prefer these smaller size spiral notebooks to the standard size spiral notebooks. They're much easier to transport, the design is simple yet attractive, and it has all the LiveScribe functionality, calculator, settings, recording, etc. You can neatly tear out pages if you wish as there's a perforated piece that makes tearing out pages clean.



These notebooks are for the LiveScribe pens! Not much more else to say, it's a pad of paper used for LiveScibe!

I am a loyal LiveScribe user & supporter and now have two pens so I no longer have to carry one back and forth to school. It you use LiveScribe this works flawlessly, but, an early adopter of this technology, I think it's just that LiveScribe has been constantly improving their products and software. If you were an early adopter like me, you know what I'm talking about. However, I give LiveScribe all the kudos in the world for sticking with this product that keeps getting better and more reliable with each upgrade.

This is a 5 star item, but like my review title states, a bit pricy. However, price is not going to keep me from buying more of these as this device and note paper has saved me from embarrassment (and yes, with its recording feature will and has embarrassed others) is a cool technology that actually works!

I use the Livescribe system on a daily basis. As an individual who constantly sought a way to be organized and be at ten places at one time, I found the Livescribe system to be extremely useful. One of the main features is that once you utilze these types of notebooks, your text will be converted to PDF using the supplied software. From there I can email it to my staff or any one else that may require my notes. It also allows for a search feature that I find very useful where it searches for words in your handwriting. It is very accurate.



I will continue to buy this product and highly recommend it. - Dot Paper - Accessories - Smartpen - Notetaking'

I bought this GoFit 75cm Stability Ball as a replacement for my desk chair at home. I've learned (from a trusted source) that sitting on a stability ball can burn 100 calories an hour. After using this for a month now, I'll bet that's true.



As for this specific stability ball - it's certainly a heavy-duty ball. It states a burst-rating of 1,200 lbs. I work at home and probably spend 6-8-hours a day sitting on this thing and it's very comfortable. At 6'2" and 220lbs, the 75cm size is perfect for use at my desk.



Use a bigger air pump if you have one. The pump that comes with it will take you a month to pump it up. I used a small portable air compressor and even that took a while to inflate. I did have to re-inflate it a bit after the first few days once it settled-in. That was no problem. I just used a pair of pliers to remove the plug.



I looked everywhere, but there were no instructions on inflating the GoFit ball that came with it. Not that it's rocket-science to pump up a ball, but a few tips might have been helpful. I used a long level and a measuring tape to figure out when the ball was close to full-inflation. Just hold the level (or a yardstick, etc.) on top and measure the distance from the level to the floor.



The DVD and booklet that come with it seem to be a good bonus too.



All-in-all, a great Stability Ball for what I needed -- and a much healthier option than sitting in a regular chair all day! GoFit 75cm Professional Stability Ball

I was a 470lb man when I bought this ball. I use it in my daily exersice routine. It has made a world of difference in my core muscles. I feel stronger throughout the mid section and I stand up straighter. I recomend following the video and incorperating it into your workout. I saw a personal trainer and she got me goin on the ball. I tried to find a ball to hold me but kept feeling unsure if a ball with a 300lb rating. If you are seriouse about loosing weight and strengthening your mid section, GET THIS BALL!!!

I love this ball. I use it for workouts, and also my chair for at the desk. I find this to be a very sturdy ball. Inflating it was not very hard. I found that if you can use a air compressor that was much easier than the hand pump. It is a very sturdy ball and not a lot of things stick to it which is nice for around the house. It was also big enough for me to use, I am 6'2 so if your tall this will work for you.

This is a high quality stability ball and the pump is also very good. I wish the ball came with instructions. I needed to inflate my ball 3x's in the first week to maintain proper inflation, but I think that's normal. (I just used a flathead screwdriver to pry the plug out--its seems to have caused no damage.)

The video that came with it is excellent. It includes a good variety of exercises which are clearly explained and modeled.

I use this ball as a desk chair and it meets my needs perfectly. For some context, I'm 6'1", 200 lbs, and my desktop is at 30" with 25" clearance underneath. I inflated the ball to almost exactly 75 cm without any concerns. The included pump is adequate, but you'll pump for 15 minutes or so. The plastic plugs seal up the ball just fine, and come out easily enough with the help of a pointy object. I haven't had to do this but once initially to adjust the amount of air. It has held the pressure pretty much constant for 5 weeks now. The ball does not pick up lint and dust, so it stays looking clean. I like that it's rated for so much weight--it doesn't feel at all vulnerable to bursting, even when I bounce on it, which is a nearly automatic reaction to sitting on the thing.

Lordy, people... simmer down. I just inflated my 75 cm ball in 10 minutes using the hand pump, and during that 10 minutes I got up and grabbed a tissue and took off my hat and turned down the heater and read an email... We have two compressors, but I'm not familiar with how to operate them; and my spouse, who is the compressor operator of the family, was taking a nap, so I decided to just have a go with the hand pump and see if it was indeed going to "take a month" to inflate, as one reviewer said.



It would have taken me/us longer to plug up the compressor and find an attachment that fit the ball than it took me to inflate the ball by hand.



Sure, my heart rate increased a little bit. But I didn't sweat. And I didn't breathe through my mouth. I consider it my first workout with the ball!... You could take it slower and easier if you wanted, even watch the evening news while pumping away, and have it inflated in 15 minutes.



I am currently using the ball as a chair. And liking the feel of that. Hip wiggle, hip wiggle... giggle, giggle... work is fun, life is good. Happy day. It's good to move and breathe and flow! Bye now!

I had a 65 cm ball that was too short for me (6 ft). The 75 cm ball is the right height for me. I love that it keeps me moving while I'm sitting at my desk. It also provides me with a reason to sneak in some crunches every now and then. It takes a few days to get used to sitting on it, but I think I've actually lost a little weight in the week or so that I've been using the ball.

I purchased this exercise ball as a replacement for my desk chair after borrowing a same-size ball from a friend (a Gymnic Classic 75cm ball). After inflating this ball and putting it side by side with the Gymnic I found it to be slightly smaller, no matter how much I inflated it. The quality of the ball itself is very good - the plastic is thick and I truly believe that this ball will stand up to some wear and tear. As a desk chair, though, I found it to be slightly too small (5'10, 180 pounds) and the thick plastic made it less comfortable than the Gymnic (which unfortunately is also more expensive!)

I am 6', 280+ lbs and wanted an exercise ball to use as a desk chair - this one is perfect! It is exactly what they say it is and is durable enough that I'm pretty sure I could strap it on and jump out a two story window onto it without it bursting.

75cm is also the perfect height for my desk. - Swiss Ball - Ball Chair - Stability Ball - Fitness Ball'

Dog Magazine - magazine, animal stories

Visit Store Now !!

Bark is not a how-to-care-for-your-dog magazine. It's a magazine about living with dogs. It has fascinating articles about the lives of dogs and people with dogs. It has history of dogs and poems about dogs and interviews with dog trainers and sheep herders and canine rescue squads ... If you want the latest pet grooming tricks, you won't find it here, but if you want insight into what dogs mean to people and what people mean to dogs, this is your magazine. Charming, touching, smart and simply wonderful. The Bark

The Bark is by far the greatest magazine for dog lovers ever printed! Insightful articles, essay, stories, and artwork keep you waiting eagerly for the next issue. They cover health, training, home decorating, entrepreneurs, absolutely everything! And maybe most importantly, the Bark does not cater to breeders or exploiters. Instead of advertisements for kennels, they promote shelters and spay/neuter programs. No AKC elitists here! Every dog counts. And if you are looking for the lastest and greatest pet products, their advertisers have the most original and unusual things to be found anywhere. This magazine focuses on human relationships with the dogs that share our world, housepets to service dogs. When each new issue arrives (and there aren't enough!) we make popcorn for ourselves and for our dogs and the we all hit the couch for the entire evening. If you have one dog, no dog, or many, this is the quintessential reading for any person who has ever loved a canine!

I am a new subscriber, have received two issues so far. This is a fascinating magazine, beautifully laid out, and well written. In the first issue I received (which I have now read almost cover-to-cover, something I Never do with magazines), there were articles about Dog rescue in Asia, the science of the historical relationship between Dogs and their humans, emotional vignettes about the love between Dogs and humans and so much more.

I like the reviewer who likened this magazine to the New Yorker about Dogs. The first issue was chock-full of everything from useful tips to weepy stories to fascinating science.

I made an effort to cancel all of my magazine subscriptions recently, simply because I do not have the time to read them all. This one will remain. In fact, I may start archiving this magazine-it is that good! All of our guests inevitable pick up the magazine, drawn by the crisp graphics, and retained by a healthy variety of reading.

Obviously, I am a fan. I have barely started the second issue, but from skimming the articles, I have full faith that I will not be disappointed.

Subscribe and enjoy!

This is an extremely "well rounded" magazine! I thoroughly enjoy every issue. Bark covers all issues concerning dogs. From articles on veterinary issues, understanding your dogs behaviour, dog gear....and outstanding well written short stories and articles written by people about their dogs and how they have impacted their lives. Very enjoyable reading....from cover to cover.

I highly recommend Bark. If you get your "paws" on your first copy, you will definitely look forward to the next.

This magazine is a nice alternative to Dog Fancy or purebred-centered publications. It contains rescue-related stories and gives mutts equal time. The writers are witty and interesting, and there aren't terrible breeder ads in the back. A good choice for those of us that spay/neuter our dogs and aren't involved in showing.

I can't wait to open each issue of The Bark when it arrives; it never fails to inspire. My dog is part of my family, and The Bark reflects that way of life. Life with my dog. Unlike other dog magazines, The Bark doesn't tell me how to train my dog or what type of dog food I should buy; instead I find articles written by those who share their lives with dogs, and who have something to say about it to readers who live with dogs. If you don't live with a dog, you might after you read The Bark!

I have been a loyal subscriber almost since the beginning, and I cannot believe how this publication just keeps getting better. It's lush to look at, a pleasure to read and packed from cover to cover with information that delights, informs and entertains. Even the ads are nifty.



If you have a dog and a brain, you have to have The Bark.

I think everyone will agree that there are tons of dog magazines out there but this one really stands out from the rest. The articles are about a wide range of interests and present different views on things. Anyone with an interest in dogs would really enjoy this. Some o;f the articles are a little more in depth and scientific than others that may just be simply informative or for fun. There are things that really make you think, about the world we're living in or the newest technology that is being developed to tell us new things about things we THOUGHT we knew.

Smart, fair, funny and informative. I often refer to this periodical as the NPR for dog lovers. Actually you can see that many times contributors are people from NPR. Our dogs are our family and we enjoy them very much. I read this magazine from cover to cover. I have given many gifts subscriptions!

I have been subscribing to The Bark for many many years now and it's a joy to receive this magazine! Customer service has never been a problem and as long as they keep up the quality of the magazine and customer service I foresee The Bark Magazine being around for a very long time. Thank you Bark for providing a quality dog magazine! - Magazine - Dog Magazine - Animal Stories - Dog Culture'

What is there to say about a battery? It takes a charge and it delivers power. This particular model lasts a very long time. The impulse guns must not require much power to operate because these will drive several thousand nails before dying. My only complaint is that they are expensive compared to other batteries . At the same rate a 12v would be a hundred bucks. Paslode Cordless Battery

Loyal paslode customer own approx. 10 cordless guns, approx 12 oval batteries, 8 of the batteries have came apart at the clip. The top of the battery comes completly off when you put it in the gun. Have to use black tape to hold the batteries together. Don't have much choice I need a battery to fire the guns trying to find other options. Any sugestions?

I picked up a spare battery for my Paslode since I use it at our remote cabin and charging batteries is a bit of an ordeal. There's not too much to say about the battery itself, works like you'd expect. The battery doesn't have to do much in the gun (runs a cooling fan and fires the spark plug), so it lasts a long time on one charge.

the battery came on time and is working just fine

Router Table

I bought this router table at a tool show, it included a powerful router. The sales people said that this was a special show special, well, it wasn't, it was the same deal in the wood magazines. Strike One!



I got the table home and tried to assemble it, the sides seat in a routed dado, they did not fit the dados were too short. Strike Two!



Even if I got the thing assembled, the router plate was leveled by wood screws under the plate that were at all different angles to the plate. Strike Three!



Good news! They took the unit back the next day, at the show. I would do business with Woodline again, I just would not purchase the router table.

Panties

Bought these a week ago, and have worn nothing since! These are so thin feeling, but so well made and designed that they fit like a second skin. I love them and will wear nothing else unless they make a slightly less full bottomed style of the same material! All them washed and came out looking like new and fitting even better after a hot dry cycle! Great buy, get 2 sets while you are at it! Hanes Women's 3-Pack Classic Cotton Stretch Bikini,3-Pack: Pink/Black/Nude,6

Thery are great! These Bikinis are soft, thick, and having good shape and stretchability (they seem that they can stand hudreds of washing!). Their sizes are fitting though at first I thought they would be a little big when I opened my package.

Barely there! Soft,silky, with a little stretch, these panties are so comfortable, you'll barely know they're there!! Covered elastic at both waist and legs is a huge plus. No fraying elastic to deal with, ever. Good coverage, front and back, especially for a bikini. Attractive on, but not supremely sexy. I've bought a lot of panties, and these are the very best I've found. Comfortable, well-constructed, easy care, pretty and practical.I bought several 3-packs a few weeks ago, and I'm buying another dozen panties today! I just hope Hanes keeps making these and Amazon keeps selling them.'

10x Optical Zoom - digital camera, sony cybershot

Visit Store Now !!

Having owned many pro-level cameras in the past, it was difficult for me to find a solid and versatile point-and-shoot. This camera has everything I was looking for and just a bit more.



Pros:

I am impressed with the amount of control the H55 gives me.

Panoramic imaging built in (its nice to see the results right away rather than just eyeballing it) .

Image quality - wow @ 14MP, the images are gorgeous.

Color accuracy is great with good lighting.

The camera handles quite nicely and is very easy to navigate.

The wide angle lens is fantastic at this price. As a pro I would have spent a couple hundred on the lens alone.

Excellent range on zoom. I was quite happily surprised.

Battery life seems much more adequate than the W330 I previously purchased and returned.



Cons:

The flash is far from balanced and seems too hot to be used for fill. I'm new on this camera and I'm used to pro-level equipment, so I'm sure I'm expecting too much here. That, or I just don't yet have the hang of it.

Color accuracy breaks down at lower light levels. Since I didn't have a real meter with me, I couldn't tell at which precise number breakdown begins to occur. I would guess around 4 lux is about as good as it gets. Beyond around that, it gets pretty noisy. I'll experiment with some night shooting when I have it on a tripod. But I won't get my hopes up.

Doesn't seem to allow you to manually close the lens. Not a dealbreaker, but it would seem a fairly simple feature to offer. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55 14.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle Optical Zoom with SteadyShot Image Stabilization and 3.0 inch LCD (Black)

This camera has an excellent Optical 10X zoom, images can be seen clearly and with rich colours. Also using the 20X digital zoom photos have many details, you can apreciate like lines in a wall or symbols in a stone. 720p video looks great when played in my laptop and it does not have blur or moving lines like in other camera's brands, thanks for the mp4 format, very, very portable. Nice panoramic photos, I use them as wallpapers. Only one thing I couldn't do with this camera was shooting the moon or filming it, may be I have to

read the manual with more calm. SD Cards supported, nice move!

Good: outdoor lighting, fantastic - nice color saturation, quick response, sharp images, panoramic motion interesting

Bad: slow, slow, slow in low light or indoor conditions



There was a noticeable lag especially in lower lighting when the flash went off. I have never returned a camera, and this one went back. I was disappointed in the indoor condition performance as compared to previous W-series Sony Cybershots and Canon PowerShots especially. I returned the H55 for a Canon S90. It's too bad because the outdoor lighting photos came out beautifully.

I have been looking for a replacement to my previous Sony 5.1 MP camera for which i paid the same amount that I paid for this camera. It's amazing to see a sea change in the quality of the pictures especially under relatively lower light conditions and outdoors. The zoom is outstanding. I can agree with the previous reviewer that the picture blurs, but I have a different take. If the object moves or if the hand shakes a little. In my view this is OK becasue multi-burst function has been disabled by default. But, I have taken moving pictures and it comes out fine most of the time.



A word of caustion that do not purchase this camera primarily becasue it has HD recording. The picture quality of HD recording indoor under medium to low light is noisy. And even in outdoor, the movie function can't replace what a full blown HD camcorder can do.



I recommed this camera to anyone who is looking for shooting great quality indoor/outdoor pictures. The smaller pocket size of the camera is really a big plus compared to it's predecessor, H-20 model.



I haven't utilized all it's features. I will right more when get to know more about this camera. One last thing that the black plastic housing looks cheap. I wish Sony had added some metal and hardness to the body of the camera. Overall, I give it 5 stars becasue the camera excels in its bottom line functionality which is to take excellent shots.



Well, I have some bad news. After a week of use, I noticed that the camera is washing away the colors if the person is wearing lighter colored clothings like light blue, light green, light yellow, or cream colors. It happens when taking pictures indoor. The lighers-colors in iMode settings don't come exactly the same. They appear whashed away. I am having a second thoughts about this camera. Not to mention that the outdoor pictures are perfect and even the indoor pictures are great if the person is in dark colored clothes.

This has been covered to death, so a few brief comments on my personal experience. I bought this to use as a point-&-shoot, and did not expect to get more than I paid for, but was pleasantly surprised.



1 - extremely easy to set up and use. Charge the battery, install a media card, and turn it on.



2 - Battery / memory card door is pretty cheesy.



3 - takes good pictures. pics have good color and brightness, need little to no post-processing.



4 - low light pictures are -really- good (for low-light pictures), waay better than I expected. Bravo twilight mode.



5 - panorama mode works well and is priceless if you do much shooting in tight quarters, or of large groups - however, no zoom. Wide-angle only, which maximizes cylindrical distortion. I still love it.



6 - I do mostly stills and had little interest in movie mode. Very much appreciated saving $100+ from the HX5V.



7 - Works as advertised. If this is what you want, buy with confidence.
