Hanging Folders - file box, hanging folders


The Pendaflex files themselves are great. However, there were no tabs and inserts included in the boxes. The boxes clearly state that they are included. I had to go and buy them separately. I wondered why they were so cheap. I got my answer. Pendaflex Recycled Standard Green 1/5-Cut Tab Hanging File Folders, 25 per Pack (81602)

Picked up a pack of these, hoping they'd fit an old wall-hanging mesh container I had lying around (Somewhat similar to this: Rolodex Single Pocket Wire Mesh Wall File (21931))



The fit was perfect! It also comes with the necessary plastic tab inserts needed. The price is great if you don't mind the drab bureaucratic color.

Pendaflex is really good quality brand, and this was an OK deal. Would have like a better price, but overall we are very happy with the quality of the product.



The folders are heavy and hold up to alot of overstuffing with file folders and papers. Tabs and hangers are very rugged.

These standard sized hanging file folders represent the height of adequacy when it comes to hanging and filing. The tabs/labels are easy to use and also fully functional. I was torn between a 4 and 5 star review, ultimately opting for the 5 because the price is right and the folders were made from recycled materials. I give these folders my full recommendation for those of you who have some sort of receptacle for hanging file folders and something that needs filing.

These hanging folders do exactly what they're supposed to do. I ordered the standard green folders and received one color and my package had the inserts and tabs included. Very pleased with this order and if I need more I will not hesitate ordering these again. - File Folders - File Box - Hanging Folders - File'

Smartphone Case - defender, iphone4 case


I waited anxiously for Otterbox to release this case and ordered mine within minutes of receiving the "Defender Released" e-mail. I received the case on Friday and I must admit, it did not disappoint.



First impressions: The case is of great quality and a lot of detail went into making it compatible with all the OEM "accessories". The holster is among the best I've seen for a phone of this size and works perfectly with the case.



After carrying it for two days (and this is already my 3rd iPhone 4 case - I am rough on my phones): The case is without a doubt the most durable I've seen for the iPhone 4 and lives up to the reputation that Otterbox has built over the years.



Cons: The case does add considerable bulk to the phone and may not be perfect for pocket carriers. It does include a holster which works great and can rotate for vertical or parallel carrying of the phone.





Miscellaneous: I have no complaints really, but I am left to wonder if the silicone "flaps" that cover the earphone and USB plug-ins could have been a little more user-friendly. Sometimes they are frustrating to get back into their proper "closed" position.



Edited one month after using: I am still extremely happy with the case. I have dropped my phones a few times already and though the case is starting to show signs the abuse I have provided it the phone still looks pristine! I opened up the case this morning to clean the phone etc and to my surprise there wasn't much to clean. With cases I've owned in the past I would have a forest of lint, dust etc. that would trap itself between the case and the phone. The Otterbox has minimized that debris!





I am uploading several photos showing the difference between a "bare" iPhone 4 and an iPhone 4 in the Defender case so everyone can get an idea of how much "protection" and in turn "bulk" this case adds to the phone.



Edited to add: Amazon removed my pictures when the placed the phone back in a "pre-order" status, I will re-upload them again once they allow. I'm not sure why they state "pre-order" when it should state "Back-ordered, will deliver in xx to xx weeks", but I digress. OtterBox Defender Case iPhone 4 (Blue/Black, Fits AT&T iPhone 4)

Otterbox defender for my iPhone 3Gs was the best thing I ever did for that phone! It fell into and was completely submerged in a 5 gallon pot of BBQ sauce - and rinsed off with the sprayer in the sink. Phone continued to operate flawlessly!



As soon as I bought iPhone 4 - I immediately ordered an otterbox case for it. It took over a month to arrive and when it finally did - I could immediately tell it did not offer the same amount of protection as the Otterbox for the 3Gs.



I'm constantly fighting the rubber covering -- if I pull it out of my pocket I have to push it back into place all the way around the phone.



The screen protector is better -- the bubbles are gone from the previous version. I like that.



The flaps that cover the charger port and headphone jack suck! They never stay in place and to get them to lock down is a pain. Debris can easily infiltrate into the case through these openings. I find that I have to take the phone completely out of the case and clean the phone and the case more often than I ever did with the other phone/otterbox.



Maybe they were just in a hurry to get a case that would fit the quick arrival of iPhone4. I hope the case is revamped and the thought is completed. I really need and want the kind of protection and rugged durability that the other case provided for 3Gs.



Regardless of what I hate about this case, it's still the BEST case that you can put on the new iPhone 4 if you're hard on your phone. Just wish it was better...

**** 02/12 update: I bought an AT&T case to get one fast at a discount and it works fine until the price drops on the universal case. The Verizon silent mode button is partially covered so if you use silent mode a lot and have big fingers, you might want to wait or buy from the manufacturer. The headphone jack doesn't align quite right with my Verizon phone, but just open the silicone port. And now this is a genuine five star review. I really like this case. It is sturdy and protective, looks stylish, feels comfortably grippy and it was easy to install the phone. Box directions are minimal but Otterbox has a simple video that takes you through it. *****



I just called Otterbox and a very nice lady in Customer Service says they have a universal design ready to fit both AT&T and Verizon phones, to be released 02/10/11. I suppose Amazon will have these as well. Hope they do all the same colors.



Important to know because the Verizon iPhone has some ports and controls in a slightly different place than its AT&T sister and this case would not fit both phones.



Just thought you should know. Glad I did some research before I bought this one. Yes, I know this isn't a real review but not everyone reads comments. At least I'm not one of those tiresome people who posts a one star review because something went wrong with the shipping. - Defender - Iphone4 Case - Iphone 4 Case - Iphone 4'

Home Office - home office, school supplies


There are, in this world, certain products..."things," if you will, that are so common, have been around for so long and are so universally known that they become almost invisible. Many of these "things" are so mundane that will we may go for days, week, indeed even months with out even thinking of them, much less pondering their usefulness and what part they have played in our lives.



These Pink Erasers are one of those "things." I should think that it would be difficult to find an individual in this country that has not used one of these wonderful little rubber tools at one time or another and it would be difficult to find a grown adult that, if they dug back through the cobwebs of their memories, do not remember these things from their school days.



Many have tried to improve on these particular erasers, but as far as I know, no one has come even close! Yes, there are other erasers for other things, but for a good utilitarian school eraser, some that will hold up for multiple school years, one that will fit into a pocket, one that will both large and small errors, you simply cannot go wrong with this one by Papermate. The Pink Pearl eraser has been around since Eberhard Faber began manufacturing them around 1861.



Folks, there is a reason for these things to have been used for so many years! (Note that PaperMate reported making and selling 132,000 of these things in 2008 along). They work!



These things last forever. They have less smudging than any standard eraser on the market, they do not easily tear the paper and they are relatively cheap. If you loose one, or have one stolen, it is not the end of the world. They are easy to replace.



It is easy to bite off small pieces of these erasers to spit them at your friends in class, or if you are really feeling aggressive, they are a wonderful thing to throw at someone. Of course when I was a small boy in school, I only used them for what they were meant. I feel no such restraints now that I am in my dotage.



I always carry one or two of these in my pocket when I am teaching...I replace them often as kids tend to forget where they borrowed them, and I have several old numbs of these erasers in my desk that are at least 40 years old. Now I grant you that they are a bit hard, but hey, they still work! I dare not throw them away and replace them with new ones as I may need them someday.



I like this medium size the best...they fit my hand and can tackle both large and small projects.



Don Blankenship

The Ozarks PaperMate Pink Pearl Premium Medium Rubber Eraser, 3-Count (70502PP)

I bought these classic erasers from Amazon when a special price was offered. The erasers now reside at the learning center that employs this potato head. The Pink Pearl erasers come in handy there since the erasers on the ends of pencils are short lived. I like that these PaperMate erasers have wedged ends that help with fine control.



Others tell me that the erasers work smoothly with no smudging and no pink residue left behind. Of course, some eraser dust stays behind, but that can easily be brushed aside with a sweep of the hand.



Amazingly these exotic (made in Malaysia) erasers have a faint rubber smell. I used the erasers a few times myself so that I could have firsthand experience with them. Since I seldom make mistakes myself, most of my experience with these fine erasers is necessarily vicarious.

These pink erasers have stood the test of time. We have bought some crummy pencils with useless erasers and have needed and used these every year. Yes, we ONCE made the mistake of buying an off brand--do not compromise. Just don't bother. Others will smudge or break apart or tear your paper. The size of these is great too--many traced or pencil drawn projects need to be gently erased before they're turned in, and these make quick work of erasing even large posterboard projects. Two pink thumbs up!

There are no other erasers that work this well that I've ever found since grade school in the mid 70's. I stopped using pencils decades ago, but now that I have a son in first grade, I've found the need to have them again in my life. He's a typical first grader that has to erase as he does things, and the erasers on the ends of pencils are, as they have always been, a joke. Other erasers that try to emulate these are usually much stiffer, harder, rip paper easily, and just smudge things more than they erase. And the little pencil capper erasers that you can put over the end are a joke, they bend and flop, and as you use then, ultimately you end up with a tube rather than an eraser, and if you're not careful you end up with the metal edge of the pencil end cutting into the paper and ripping it anyway.



These are easy to hold, especially for a first grader. They're incredibly inexpensive (especially via amazon prime with free shipping) and they just WORK. Period. Better than any other eraser I've used. - School Supplies - Home Office - Erasers'

Docking Station - docking station, dock


I ordered the Motorola Droid Multimedia Station on the Droid's release day because I thought it was a cool idea. I didn't see it in person until it was delivered to my door and the geek in me loves it!



PROS:

- Nice build quality

- Non-skid base

- Turns your Droid into an alarm clock and weather station

- Sync your data via USB cable

- Just plain cool looking



CONS:

- Will not work with cases

- Somewhat expensive



The box includes 4 items, the actual dock, a micro USB cable, an AC adapter, and a user guide. The dock itself is very well made and is quite hefty in weight. You won't be accidentally knocking this dock around from your desk especially since it also has a non-skid base. The dock has a micro USB port that you plug the cable into and then you plug the other end into the AC adapter. This of course, powers and charges your Droid, which is perfect for your nightstand. If you want to sync your Droid, just plug the micro USB cable into your PC. This will charge your Droid too, but at a much slower rate and only when your PC is powered on.



When you dock the Droid in, the orientation changes automatically to landscape. You select what city you want your weather widget to display and boing, you have your multimedia station. The dock has magnets located in specific areas to activate this mode, which I just found can be activated by using an app called "Dockrunner." It is available for download in the Marketplace.



It's a little pricey for what it does but it is cool nonetheless. An audio out or built-in stereo speakers would've been cool but no biggie! Motorola DROID Multimedia Docking Station [Retail Packaging]

I really wanted this for my Droid, and its good quality. When you place your Droid in this Charging Cradle/"Multimedia Station", it charges you battery and magnets activate a Multimedia mode on your phone, allowing you to brows photos, listen to music, and work with your alarm clock right on your nightstand. Not owning an iPod, I can't tell you how much I love having all mp3's and so forth available right next to my bed. This is a lovely product.



Pros and Cons:

1) The magnets override your lock feature, which may be a security issue for some.

2) The Droid won't fit in the cradle with any kind of body armor/silicone/hard plastic case attached around it. You'll have to take this off when you want to use the cradle.

3) The Multimedia mode has a built-in "dimmer" switch for night time use, but I personally find even that setting emits too much light in my room, and that makes me crazy. If you don't have an issue with things emitting light while you sleep, this is a non-issue for you.

4) The cord that comes with the cradle is the same as comes with the phone- its VERY short. I had to use a USB extension cable to get from an outlet to my nightstand.



I really like this though- the problems I have all me.

The droid multimedia station is a nice desk accessory, but it has its problems and don't buy it as a bedside alarm clock.



Pros:

1) Beautiful and compact



2) Easy to exit dock mode and access most other Smartphone functions.



Cons:

1) There is only one dimming level, which is still fairly bright in a dark room.



2) When the display is dimmed, there is little contrast between the numbers and the background, making the display hard to read. This

problem could be solved if the background and/or time coloring were customizable, but this is not the case.



3) When placing a call while the droid is in the dock, the in-call screen does not shift into landscape mode, making it difficult (but not impossible) to accesses the features such as the dial-pad and speaker button.



4) The buttons on the bottom of the screen stay illuminated, regardless of if the screen is dimmed or not.



5) It would be nice to change the widget buttons while in the multimedia dock mode. For example, I do not use the built-in android alarm clock (I use the app Math Alarm Clock), so I would like to have direct access to that application instead of the standard alarm.



6) Sometimes it takes a while for the weather to update. Importantly, the latest droid update mostly fixed this problem, giving me hope that other issues will be fixed in the future.



7) There is no audio jack to send music to speakers



8) Expensive (especially since you can make your own dock with multimedia mode easily)

For the money, you might expect a bit more than a weighted base (with magnet!) and a power adapter. I know I did. You can use software to go into the same mode as the dock for free, so YMMV.



I appreciate the design. It's heavy enough to not get knocked around too easily on my desk, and my wife keeps hers in the kitchen. It would work equally well as an alarm clock/night stand device. We got these with our 2 droids since it was a nice refined way to charge them and still get plenty of functionality (weather/time/music) at a visible angle.



Pros:

1. Well weighted with rubberized bottom keeps it from bouncing around easily

2. Designed nicely - Looks sharp. The Droid's audio is surprising clear in speaker mode for playing music (especially for such a small speaker), but a Bluetooth or corded headset (or speaker setup) would work here.

3. Nice angle for keeping an eye on the clock. I'm hoping Google improves the interface... the weather section is a bit small and doesn't give much info. A real-time radar with more info would be best and perhaps a smaller alarm clock with more configuration/personalization options for color, stock ticker, etc. would be great. But this doesn't affect my review of the dock.

4. Fits perfectly and makes it easy to remember where you left your phone. :-)



Cons:

1. I thought that the cable for USB/DC Converter was a bit short. It's the same as the one that came with the Droid. Nothing that can't be amended, but for $30 they couldn't throw in another meter?

2. It boils down to being a weighted/angled slot with charger/usb cable for $30. It probably amounts to $2 in materials if that. It would be expensive at $15.

3. It really doesn't deliver much. You can get everything but the pre-positioned angle without the doc, and the doc software needs improvement (not a slam on the dock itself, just pointing it out). Unless you're really using it as an alarm clock, It's difficult to see the point now that I have it. If you're watching movies on it as a sort of TV replacement, then maybe... yeah.

4. No cases allowed (it won't fit with them on).



In the end, it is well built and designed nicely. I think it should offer more for the money (maybe built in speakers?) but it is what it is, an overpriced accessory, and for what it's worth, usually overpriced accessories are built like junk, so this gets a 4. - Docking Station - Dock - Charging Cradle - Droid'

Portable Dvd Player - child headphone, kids headphones


We needed head phones for our 3.5 year old son. The ones that stick in your ears kept falling out. These perfectly fit on his head, he actually has to extend the headband a tiny bit, so I wouldn't worry about them being too big. Sony Mdr-222Kd/Blk Childrens Headphones (Black)

Though this headphone is from Sony which normally makes good products, i have to say, its not very good. After only 2 weeks of use the connector broke. Though the rest of the headphone is fine, I found that it was not well made where the connector is.



To me it seems to be a design flaw. Fits well on children of most age under 12, but its design problems should be taken into account.



Sound is good, and does limit output so that children ears have less chance to be damaged, something that was a plus for it.

Bought this product recently for my third grader. Controls volume as advertised, though I still ask him to keep the volume below the max on his MP3 player. Unfortunately, the cord is not properly bonded to the miniplug, so only the wire is holding it together. I expect it to break entirely soon. It is clearly a manufacturing defect, not wear. Since these are not expensive enough to hassle with a return, I will try some glue. Generally, I expect better quality control from Sony.

I was so pleased to find these headphones! My twin girls discovered our old discmans (discmen?) a couple months before they turned nine. We were always worried about how high the volume was. These headphones don't allow the volume to go beyond a certain decibel. They also fit very nicely on their heads. Up until these headphones, they wanted to wear earbuds because the bigger headphones weren't comfortable.



In one of the descriptions I read about these headphones, it made me think that you could manually control the volume with the headphones. This is not the case, but it doesn't really matter. The one downside for us is that we can hear what they are listening to even when the volume is low. I don't mind this as much as my husband.



Overall, if you are going to let your kids use headphones, I highly recommend these!

We bought these in june 2008, for our 3,5 year old, so he could listen to DVD on the portable Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black when we were watching something else on TV or when we needed the silence. Being 'kids' headphone we expected this to work out well, but that was not the case. Altough reasonable good headphones, they did not seem to fit him as comfortable as we expected. He would fiddle quite a bit with it, and then to just take it off, and just wanted to watch and listen to the DVD with no headphone on. I suspect the headphone would move on his head and he would try to keep it in place till he got tired of it.



We then tried the Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups which we bought at the same time, but was intended for me. Guess what. These worked out much better. He actually keeps them one and watches a whole DVD with it on, without fiddling with it. He seems quite unawarre he has headphones on. I was quite surprised because I didn't think of it, but wasn't expected these 'grown up' headphones to fit him. But they did. Even much better. The earcups, altough bigger fits perfectly around his ears. The band adjust perfects to his head, and because it's wider, sits much better and doesn't fall off.



One point for buying these kids headphones is perhaps the sound-savety issue. If you are concern about volume issues, then perhaps you should go with these headphones, since they claim these kids headphones are saver,... something about keeping the volume low, so they do not harm there ears. But then again if kids won't use the headphone,.... what's the point. We personally don't have a problem with this. Our son doesn't like to have the sound loud. I always check the volume if it's not too loud for him, just to be on the save side anyway. He can actaully adjust the sound himself, but he rarely touches it. If he does it is to turn it down, not up. He keeps it on a reasonable low volume. So we are not concerned on this aspect.



So unless you are worried about volume-safety, why get these headphones, while you can get Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups for almost the same price?

I bought this headset for my 2-year old after one of the connectors disconnected on his Kidz Gear Wired Headphones For Kids headphone.



Although the description indicates these are designed for 8+, the headset fit over my son's head pretty well. However, the headband part kept slipping down and the spongy earphone material just didn't "hold" well on my son's ears. It might be that my son doesn't have enough hair for the headphones to grip/hold onto.



In comparison, the Kidz Gear headset had a double band which seemed to grip his head better. Plus, the earphones were made of a leather-like material which cupped the ear, rather than laying directly on it. The sound quality on the Kidz Gear was much better.



If I had to choose between the two, I would have to choose the Kidz Gear one. - Child Headphone - Childrens Earphones - Kids Headphones - Headphones'

Charlie 1 Horse


These boots look more beautiful in person if you can believe. By all appearances, they seem to be well constructed. The boots reach mid-calf and the soles are made out of leather, which causes a bit of slippage on carpeted areas intially but soon fades once the soles have been scratched up a bit. The heels are made from wood and have a rubber bottom. The leather uppers are hand dyed, so the graduations in color give them character. The most buttery-soft leather also lines the boots and there are two well constructed pulls on either side to aid in putting them on. Although my feet measure 42 inches, I find that most size 11m shoes are too big. So, I ordered these bad boys in a size 10.5 (41.5") and I'm glad I did. Even with my thickest socks I still have room to wriggle my toes. Plus, I'm nursing a fractured left big toe and am able to wear these boots with little discomfort.

Feature Film-drama - male nudity, ian holm


"The Advocate", written and directed by Leslie Megahey, is an underrated and overlooked film, masterful in its subtle insanity and brutally honest in its depiction of its characters and setting.The time is 15th-century France, a time when animals were subject to the same civil laws and penalties as humans and could be tried in a court of law. Parisian lawyer Richard Courtois (Colin Firth) and his clerk Mathieu (Jim Carter) arrive in a small rural province. Courtois intends to enlighten the suprstitious and backwards populous, run by an unofficial leader (Nicol Williamson). Courtois' skills are put to the test when he must defend a pig accused of murder. That the pig belongs to a roving band of gypsies only complicates matters. Mixed into the conflict is racism, accusations of witchcraft, political and religious corruption, and whispers of the Cathar heresy.The movie is wonderfully acted, and the director is sure not to glorify or soften any of the characters. Courtois may be intelligent, but he is also arrogant. The priest (Ian Holm) may be enlightened, but he is also a womanizer. The music and costumes are more period appropriate than most medeival fair, and many themes and signs of the times are apparent: the street preacher that accosts Courtois, the secrets of the Cathar heresy, and a particularly vivid Hieronymus Bosch-inspired nightmare. While the film is ostensibly a drama, their is much bawdy, Canterbury Tales-style humor, enough to keep the film from collapsing under its own weight.The film is finally available on DVD, and this may bring a new round of fans to it. For myself, who had only ever seen it on video, seeing it in widescreen was a wonderful thing. Be warned, however, the film has a very twisted plot, and multiple viewings may be required to sort it all out. That's not even mentioning the twist ending, a moment of deliciously black irony. Definitely a must for period film fans and certainly for anyone who loves quirky, slightly off-key dramas. The Advocate

This film is very entertaining though I'll admit the uncut version(HOUR OF THE PIG)is slightly better because some of the key scenes were edited out of THE ADVOCATE so the plot can be a bit hard to follow at times. The film is made in a rather tongue-in-cheek style so that the dialogue is witty, sharp but needs to be followed closely so that you are able to savor every twist of the plot fully. The court room scenes are wonderful; the rest of the film is full of interesting characters and funny moments that season the story about the naive, big city lawyer who learns quite a bit about the real world during his stay in the small country town. Well directed, well acted, well written. More than worth the time to see again and again.

If I could, I'd give this 3-1/2 stars, not just 3. Colin Firth, Ian Holm, Nicol Williamson, and Donald Pleasance, among others, make this film worth watching. History fans might enjoy the before and after synopses of the characters and the historical figures on whom they were based. Colin Firth fans will definitely appreciate his bed and bath scenes, although his acting abilities take everything up a notch. Still, with the gratuitous nudity, modern feel, and slim production values, this film can't aspire above B-movie status.The plot's a bit convoluted. The story is minimally narrated by Matthieu, the law clerk, yet he figures very little in it. Is the story about his boss--the advocate--or about the town? Maybe it's too ambitious in scope, what with its contrasting of country life and city life, interjections of witches, superstition, racism against Jews and gypsies, fornicating by the local clergy, secret societies of merchants, the Black Plague, unusual hunting prey, and sodomy. Oh, yes, then there's the trying of animals in court, a central theme that adds both humor and pathos to the proceedings and proves to be the unraveling of a dark and dirty secret hidden within the town walls. The ending's twist on the knight in shining armor is a good one.The film's worth a viewing for some fine performances and relatively interesting Medieval subject matter. Just don't expect it to be high brow.

A film you may never have heard of, but really should see. Trust me. (AKA "The Hour of the Pig") A good guy lawyer? A medieval good guy lawyer? A medieval good guy lawyer defending a pig who is charged with murder? And is isn't a slapstick comedy? This you got to see. The Advocate is an delicious medieval court drama that takes placein the days when humans and animals were both known to be hosts for the devil. Courtois, an educated lawyer (Colin Firth), runs from the big city to find peace in the countryside but, instead finds murderous acts holding the a village in fear. I won't give you more for fear of ruining the surprises, but the cast is peopled with dynamite performers like; Ian Holm , Donald Pleasence, Nicol Williamson & Michael Gough. Although there is a common inclination to sell this as a comedy,don't be fooled, there is dark moody drama here also.This is fun, thoughtful, intriguing drama and just one of the best films you are likely to ever see that contains the word "Pig" in the title.

This bawdy romp through the medieval French countryside is an ideal candidate for "cult" status. Colin Firth's 12th-Century yuppie lawyer is farmed out to Le Hicksville to plead the case of a pig. Contrary to what you might think, the courtroom scenes actually provide the most sobering moments in the film, reminding us of how frighteningly easy it is for humans to kowtow thier basic freedoms to superstition and dogma. It is Firth's interactions with the "locals" outside the courtroom that provide the most entertainment. Some memorable tete a tetes involving a chambermaid and a fiery Gypsy siren recall the 1963 classic "Tom Jones" at times. Wonderful supporting performances from the likes of Ian Holm and the late Donald Pleasence (playing the "heavy" as only he could) round off this unique, highly entertaining little sleeper. Note: I have NEVER seen this film referred to as "Hour Of The Pig" (outside of this listing)...it is always titled as "The Advocate" on cable and in video stores. - Donald Pleasence - Ian Holm - Male Nudity - Drama'
