Adjustable Weights - adjustable weights, weight training

If you are smart - you will start slowly when adding weights to your walking-workout. These are a GREAT addition to your exercise-walk. Highly recommended.

Best to start off with just the Heavy-hands with no weights, then add the weights after a few weeks - not approaching this slowly could set you up for an injury. It really does raise the level of intensity to your walking workout. Heavyhands 1-2-3-Pound Multi-Pac Black heavyhands with Carry/Storage Case

I use these primarily when I power walk or when I am in front of the booob tube and want to get a little strength training in.

The compelling reasons for recommending these weights are:

1) they can be adjusted accordingly to different weights to accomodate your needs

2) the adjustment can be done fast by removing the endcaps and the weights

3) they have a nice neoprene handle/grip which adjusts nicely to the hand and doesn't slip

4) Heavyhands has a black plastic case and all the components store easily and out of sight when not used

5) it is a relatively inexpensive option that does what it is supposed to do

6) they are nicely balanced and very comfortable and I haven't had any problems with callouses or blisters

I have several set of weights, but use heavy-hands the most.

I like Heavy-hands for many reasons

1) One set of weights that can be made heavier or lighter as needed. Adding/removing weights is easy, and they take up a lot less room than if you had all those individual weights

2) The handles are made out of soft neoprene-like material. It feels good in your hands, they don't calluses. The neoprene material also absorbs any sweat, and thus reduces changes of dropping the weights.

3) The shape of the weight has a handle that goes over your hand. This also decreases the chances of one dropping the weights. This shape might also be of help to those with limited finger dexterity.

Very good design!

This was fulfilled by Target. We bought "new" merchandise and received a package that had been opened, gear that had been used enough to be significantly scuffed up and worn, and then replaced in the original plastic package and taped closed with packing tape. Amazon was, as always, great about the return, but we will never again purchase online through Target, as this must be how they dispose of their store return merchandise.

The items shipped by Target were well used, not new. They are sufficient due to the nature of the product, but the weights are badly scratched and scuffed up. Handles look unused. I would have returned the set if the handles had been used. Looks like item was a display or floor sample, repackaged and sold as if new. These should have been listed as used, not as new. A few scuff marks are no big deal, but the scratches are deep.

Only negative about the weights themselves is 3 lbs is actually 2 lbs 13 oz (handles attached). 2 lbs are actually 1 lb 14 oz's (handles attached). - Exercise - Fitness - Adjustable Weights - Weight Training'

I'm getting the idea that buying these cheap batteries is kind of a crap shoot. Some people get very good quality batteries. I was not one of those people. I received what looked like an authentic Motorola battery. It was almost identical to the one that came with my phone. Some of the text was different, but not enough to think it was a fake. My problem was not how fast the battery discharged, although that was not very good. It lasted about as long as my 1-1/2 year old battery. The problem I really couldn't get around was how long it was taking to charge. It was easily 3 times longer to charge this battery vs. my old one. So I'll try again with another listing on Amazon. This time I'll order an OEM version though. I'm not even going to try and return this. It was too cheap. I guess they win on this one. Motorola SNN5843 Standard Battery for Motorola Droid A855

Not much else to say than the title, I bought it b/c I thought my stock battery was losing charge. I used it in the exact same way as my stock battery and it died after 2 weeks, so I charged up my stock battery and apparently that reset the Li-Ion b/c Im getting close to Original Charge times with my stock battery almost 2 years later. this battery couldnt last 2 weeks, what a joke. - Motorola Droid'

Digital Thermometer - cheap, digital

Visit Store Now !!

I was pleased with the Product. It worked fast and was able to read the temp of me and my son. Handy to have and for a great value. I checked everywhere even walmart and found this the be the best price even with shipping and handling. I also like to keep one handy. My last one no longer worked and I needed one right away they shipped fast and I was ever so glad to get the one. I usually do not do reviews but I felt this one was worth it. Great value, Great price, Great product. Digital Thermometer- Great value

it gives a beep when it is ready to be used. then when it is finished reading your temperature (takes in about a minute or under) it beeps again telling you that it is finished. This is the only thermometer that I have used so I cannot compare it to any other but it is surprisingly easy to use. It has one button which turns it on as well as off. I think that it is pretty simple to use but then this is the only thermometer that I have experience with

Thermometer great... the beeps are good, as sometimes you kinda fall asleep again with the thing in your mouth. Would have been better if the display glowed in the dark, but the memory works fine for this - if you want to roll over and go back to sleep the last reading is there when you turn it on again.

Working fine so far! - Cheap - Thermometers - Digital - Thermometer'

Bubble Wrap

Visit Store Now !!

Overall I would say this bubblewrap represents a good value for a basic product.

Other reviewers posed various versions of the seemingly obvious question: "It's bubble wrap, how can you mess that up?" Well, I decided to find out. I measured the widths and lengths of the 2 rolls I received, as well as the size of the bubbles. I was surprised to find all dimensions were nearly exactly as advertised. The widths of each roll was right on at about 12 inches, and the length of roll # 1 was 110 feet, 5 inches, and roll# 2 was 110 feet, 2 inches. I measured about 10 well inflated bubbles randomly and each was right about 3/16" tall in the middle, give or take a little. (The bubbles are 3/8" wide)

I tried, but I couldn't find anything wrong with this stuff! Good value - 5 STARS! 12" x 220ft Small 3/16" Bubble Wrap

After studying and researching bubble wrap prices until dizzification, I decided that the price for these two rolls is pretty good. The order arrived quickly and was well packaged.

Inside each roll is a sturdy cardboard center like the innard of a paper towel roll. This innard will keep the bubble wrap roll from collapsing as it diminishes in thickness. While unwrapping the bubble wrap and separating the two rolls, I reached my hand into the middle of the top roll for a good grip and stupidly pulled out the center roll. Somehow I replaced it in one roll, but couldn't do it in the other.

It's no catastrophe, but you may want to learn from my stupidity.

The bubblewrap itself is thinner than I had expected. For extra protection one might want to make a few extra wraps. Some may prefer this thinner bubble wrap. For example, when I ship a book in an envelope, wrapping the book in a 5/16" bubble wrap can make it difficult to slide a wrapped book into the envelope mailer. For those who ship or use bubble wrap extensively, it might not be a bad idea to have several sizes on hand.

well - i bought this for selling and shipping on ebay.

I must say the the quality and PRICING is incredible.

i mean bubblepack is bubblepack.. but this shipper saved me $14 off others selling it.

super fast shipping too.

just as described.

Well it's bubble wrap what is there to really say about it? Came in great shape the sheets were easy to rip and use. All bubbles intact and had no problems with it. After move was done had a great time popping them all LOL! Definitely a good purchase they were sent with both rolls in the a good box so they weren't damaged at all.

These rolls came in very handy for me since I ship a lot. They were just exactly the size described. Very happy with the product. Makes me feel secure that my items will be protected in shipment. Thanks!

I'm impressed with the quality of this product. I thought I would be getting cheap material for this price. This is the same quality I get from Office Depot for 3 times the price. I'm an online seller and I use a lot of bubble wrap to ship fragile items daily, and this bubble wrap is simply one of the best. Highly recommended, I hope the seller keeps the price this low.

Packitright Bubble delivered two rolls of bubble wrap within 4 days of payment - much faster than I expected! Items received are just as described. I love having the large amount of bubble wrap at such a reasonable price as I can pack items securely without scimping on the bubble wrap due to expense. My first experience with this company is very positive; good price, quality product and super fast delivery!

This was the first time I ordered bubble wrap from this supplier, and I am very pleased. I have been using bubble wrap from one of the major big-box office supply stores for many years, but when I noticed this seller's low price on Amazon, I decided to give them a try. This bubble wrap is more heavy-weight than the big-box store product I had been using and offers significantly better protection when shipping rare books. Also, there are no perforations, which eliminates the occasional problem of no bubble protection on the edges of the books I wrap for shipment. Strangely, scotch tape doesn't stick quite as well to this bubble wrap as it does to the other wrap I was using, but that's a minor issue. This is a great product at a terrific price. Highly recommended.'

Slim External Dvd Rw - dvd drive, dvd writer

Visit Store Now !!

i like to keep my reviews simple.

this dvd burner is simply perfect.

it's smaller than the previous model from Samsung. the touch open feature is quite nifty. very light and quiet when i burned a few dvd's. i've connected it to my PC & MacBook Air 11" with no problems on either one. this is a much better option over the Apple SuperDrive. the SuperDrive can ONLY be used on the MB Air's. it's more expensive than most external dvd burners. why would you want to get it?

Edited: i forgot to mention that i use this DVD burner for both my desktop and laptop. unfortunately on my laptop there are only 2 USB ports. one on each side. the MacBook Air is sort of limited in that area. in any case, the DVD burner WILL WORK with only one USB cable slot plugged in. i think it may run a bit slower if you are burning something though, which will probably be due to the power outage limit that USB ports have.

do yourself a favor and get this if you need an external burner. you won't regret it. Samsung USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive for Mac and PC SE-S084D/TSBS (Gloss Black)

I bought this for use with my new MacBook Air and my home server

Things I like:

1. Very compact. About a size of a double cd case

2. Very quiet for such a compact drive. Just a bit noisier than my internal dvd drive.

3. Requires only one usb port. Some drives need 2 usb ports, but this one runs fine on just one.

4. Plug and play. No drivers needed. Works great on Mac and PC.

5. A steal at $40 shipped

Things I don't like so much:

1. The small form factor is cool, but the black version looks and feels plastic. I'm not saying that it's flimsy, because it's not. However, next to my new Mac Air, it looks and feels kinda cheap

2. The soft touch eject doesn't work on Mac. You have to drag the icon to eject.

3. The Nero 9 software works with PC only.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tiny, simple dvd drive that works with both Mac and PC.

I've used this drive with a windows 7 desktop, Windows XP desktop, iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.5, and MacBook pro running Snow leopard 10.6.6. The drive works great, good speed, reliable use. I would say the most frustrating part of this product is that it has no power-cord and requires two USB ports to operate. occasionally it will (randomly it seems) work with only one USB port, but I have only seen that on occasion. I am very disappointed with this part of the drive, however aside from that it has worked flawlessly. I've burned DVD at full speed in both Windows 7 and Mac OS X. It is compact, and requires very little to setup, simply just plugin and use. When I installed this product using the discs that came with it in Windows 7 it brought me into this very confusing application that claimed I needed a firmware update, however when I checked on the website it said I did not.

conclusion

It's a solid product that works well under most operating systems. Be prepared to surrender TWO USB ports to it though.

Just received this latest version of Samsung external DVD ROM. 100% described as product spec, slim and super light weight.

This DVD ROM is very compatible with my Toshiba Netbook NB205, only use one USB port instead of 2 ports for power. No driver needed base on Windows 7 Starter, just plug then you go. To play DVD movies with proper software is working great, I played one movie already. Reading sounds are acceptable for me.

Even we can find more cheaper one in the market, but you will get what you pay for. Products always have its cost and quality, so this device is worth the money for my Toshiba NB205.

I have 64bit Windows 7. This device plugged in and worked immediately. Besides being compact, completely powered by over USB, and fairly attractive overall; what is awesomely excellent about this product is the fact that you can just connect ONE USB plug for proper operation. You can also connect two USB plugs if you wish for maximum speed (one USB plug renders about half speed operation), but it is not required.

I bought this product after my internal DVD drive burnt out. I was worried about having to lug around an external drive, but this Samsung drive is just perfect! It is very portable, but remarkably sturdy. On my Mac (OS X), all I had to do was plug it in and it worked without any need for installation or driver(s). I have read/played both CDs and DVDs with no problem -- even with autoplay! For it's speed, it is also amazingly quiet. Initially, I had to check the indicator light to see if it was working, because I couldn't even hear it running! I am thoroughly impressed... ESPECIALLY for the price!! I'd gladly pay twice as much for the same machine.

I have been using this portable drive now for a few weeks now. You can just plug and play or install the Nero 9 software provided on the disk provided with the drive. Works fine, reads and writes with no issue.

I'm amazed at it's thin size. Using verbatim DVD-R disks for copying with no issues.

The drive has also been working with just one USB connection. Works on my desktop (running XP) as well as my netbook (Win 7 Starter).

For those of us who are buying multiple external drives for, er, migrating our video DVDs collections to our computers, these are fantastic! I am using two on an external (powered) usb hub and plan to get a couple more. It's well worth the cost to speed up the process from one-disc-at-a-time slowness. One caveat, each drive does require a full-power usb port, so a powered usb hub is a necessity.

I bought the Samsung external DVD burner/player a week ago (at about $40) for my ASUS netbook. I admitted (after a year of working around it) that I really wanted to watch DVD movies from Netflix on my netbook since I don't have a TV & I can't always borrow someone else's laptop.

Overall: Extremely easy-to-use and reliable DVD movie player for a netbook user

Pros:

+ Solid design; doesn't feel flimsy or easily breakable but is very light & very transportable/packable

+ Plug-and-play with no additional installation software required on Windows 7 Starter Edition

+ Uses 2 USB cords to ensure it's always fully powered

+ Works perfectly even with limited netbook processor (I use VLC Media Player for playing DVD movies)

Cons:

- Requires 2 USB sockets side-by-side or an extension cord for one of the cords

- Needs to be set on a flat surface and is much less forgiving about tilting than the old portable CD walkmans used to be

- Only burns DVD+ not DVD-

Limits of my use:

* I did not use the included software, which appeared to be for burning or playing DVDs/CDs

* I did not burn any DVDs or CDs

* Purchased 1 week ago - Dvd Writer - Dvd Drive - External Dvd Drive - Slim External Dvd Rw'

Component Video - adapter, vga cable

Visit Store Now !!

Before you buy this cable to hook up your PC with your TV please read the following:

In order for this cable to work, the markings on your TV must be RGB. You will have to look closely to read this or find it in your TV manual. If it is Pr,Y,Pb IT WILL NOT WORK. You will find these markings next to the red, green and blue connectors on the back of your TV. Remember, they must be marked R,G,B.

Regards. Premium 6ft VGA Male to 3-RCA Component Video Male cable

This worked amazing to hook up my projector to my DVD player. Much better picture quality than with the previous S-video cable.

This WILL NOT work to hook up your laptop to a Television. Do not even try.

Even though all these helpful reviews said "this won't allow you to plug your laptop into your TV," i thought that for sure my situation must be different. Don't fall into the same trap - This cable does not convert RGB video into a component signal.

If you need something for plugging your component into an RGB port in a projector, this is for you. And it's very well made.

I ordered this cable in the hopes of connecting my laptop to my 50" plasma TV. The cable arrived in good condition, and I believe it's a good-quality cable - it feels strong, but is still very flexible - but it didn't work for me.

In order to use this cable, the device with VGA out must be capable of sending a TV signal, sometimes called an RGB signal or a sync-on-green signal. Because this is a very specific type of signal, it's almost impossible to find out whether or not a certain device is capable of it. Basically, if it's designed for displaying on a TV, it's going to send the right signal, but most laptops have display ports for connecting to monitors, not TVs. For this price, however, it's probably worth buying the cable and testing it in your situation, instead of scouring the web and living in constant uncertainty.

Even after reading the various warnings submitted by others before buying this item, I decided to get it anyway. Most had alerted that the product wouldn't work for those who were trying to use the cable to link their TV with their computer. I was trying to connect a DVD player (component output) to a PC monitor (standard RGB HD-15). Should be no problem right? Wrong. The monitor doesn't recognize the connection. So, I just figured I'd return it. After all, it's Amazon. Well this particular product must be returned to the seller and the seller does not reimburse their shipping cost nor pay for the return shipping. Since the original shipping cost exceeds the product cost, it makes no financial sense to return the item. A cheap but important lesson for the future.

Excellent conversion cable. Some HD projectors/TVs accept the composite signal via connector that looks like a VGA one from a PC. This allows you to come out of the DVD player or other video source using 3 component plugs and go to the VGA style input on the projector. Works great.

I bought this,because I wanted to connect a new PC monitor to my dvd/vcr combo, so this would have been great, as it comes with the RCA on one end and the VGA on the other, but my monitor didn't recognize the VCR combo, and vise versa, the combo couldn't send the audio/video to the PC monitor.

This thing was not what I expected. It didn't work the way I expected it to. I have had other similiar products that were able to take the signal from my computer and output the to my tv. This didn't do that. I tried for hours fiddling with the graphic card atributes to get this to work and it just wouldn't do it. - Vga Cable - Adapter - Cables - Component Video'

Pant Straps - pant straps

I ordered these for my husband. They look just like the picture, but were much shorter then we expected. They didn't fit under his boots...he had to use it from his laces to the front of his jeans instead...just keep that in mind when you order...get the longest ones. Beyond that for the price it was a great deal. Motorcycle Boot Straps (Long 9 Inches, Black)

I ordered the skull clips, but settled for the black ones. After ordering, I learned the skulls were not in stock, eventhough Amazon had it listed as in stock. I contacted the seller and made the switch to black to get them in time for a ride. The seller made it right by rushing the shipping and knocking a little cost off for the mix-up.

These straps are the shortest ones and just fit the width of my shoe. They work great! Clips are strong and hold my pantleg down just as they are suppose to. I plan to order another pair, but will get the next length up to accomodate for different footwear or pants. Be sure to check with the seller, if possible about the stock. The clips litterally come on a slow boat from China and take months to get here.

Happy Riding! - Pant Straps'
