I think this is the best one. It's great because of its simplicity.
Inexpensive, definitely powerful enough for pet hair, and no silly bells and whistles to get in your way.
Commercial grade, so it should do well even with those tough pet hairs.
I love it... this will be my next vacuum purchase.

For juicing and other light duty blending you might want to consider the Ninja. It's small and probably not super powerful but can definitely make smoothies and juice and whatnot.
I suggest it because it is really easy to clean! All the parts are dishwasher safe and it is small enough to put in the dishwasher. What could be easier than tossing it in the dishwasher? Nothing. Nothing could be easier than that.

Trying to keep it within a reasonable budget, but not having a price point in your question leaves this one wide open! This one looks fantastic and is simple to use - only 2 speeds. Serious ice crushing power. From Waring, a renowned appliance company. Get it for the looks, keep it for the performance!

If you ask me this is the one to get. Full size keyboard.... not like what you would have for a desktop, but full size for a tablet.
It's very nice looking, sleek and sophisticated. It even has a pullout track pad, which if you ask me is a pretty cool extra feature. It's really thin, really light (under 15 ounces) and has nice typing action.
Works with most Android devices (not just Motorola!)

This will be a good one for you....it's like your own little xerox machine! Prints, scans, copies, and does it FAST. It also does wireless printing.
The main thing I think for copy quality is to make sure it is a photo quality printer, that way you can be sure the resolution is fairly high. This should print nice photos and should make excellent copies.
It has a little screen and control center right there on the printer to make for a hassle free copy experience.

This would be a good one to consider, Alexis. It's a little bit on the expensive side, but you're getting a real nice Plasma screen that can do both 3D and internet.
The image will be really clear (1080p) and it has a really high refresh rate, so anything in motion will appear without blur.
It's a really attractive design, and Samsung is one of the leading brands in Tv's right now.

Right away it should be noted that this is only compatible with Windows 7, so just keep that in mind. Other than that, this is a very functional 1920 x 1080, 22 inch monitor. Works just like you would imagine it. The screen is very sensitive and accurate, and also clear and sharp.
Very cool device!

I think this is the best travel option for you. These are a little pricey but they are the best tablet around right now and would be perfect for for taking overseas.... the main reason would be battery life. They say 12 hours, expect maybe 8 or 9 which is excellent. Also, if you buy the keyboard attachment you get like 17 hours, or something ridiculous like that. The Transformer Prime comes with Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS but is 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgradable. It has Gorilla Glass to keep it safe while in transit, too. Even has a 1.2MP front camera and 8MP auto-focus rear facing camera, so you won't be missing any photo ops while playing Angry Birds or whatever.
Safe Travels!

Something like this will benefit you and your photoshop work. Ideally you would want a wide gamut monitor for this sort of thing, but that's not really an option under $600 so this is gonna be one of your best bets. S-IPS monitors offer very vibrant and accurate colors which will be what you need for photo editing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Asus, man, they make some great stuff. Here's a P-IPS monitor that should make you very happy. It has 1920 x 1200 res, and the P-IPS panel provides 98% of Adobe RGB coverage and 1.07 billion colors. DANG!
Very reasonable price.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is a good one for you. It has a 5ms response time which isn't the best available but is still very good, and I think you will be happy with it. It's gonna have a beautiful display: LED backlit with 50,000,000:1 Smart Contrast Ratio and offers full 1080P with HDMI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will be very nice for your digital photography needs. Features a 19 inch VGA 1440 x 900 display, which should be vibrant, clear and accurate for your editing. And for the price it's like unbeatable!

Fortresscraft is similar and pretty cool, but it's only on xbox 360...

The best earbuds for running might just be these ^^ right here above.
To me this is an excellent design. They are traditional earbuds in a sense, except the wire comes up and over your ear, going down your back. Great for running because it's completely out of the way.
Sound quality is about what you would expect for under $20... pretty darn good, but not incredible.

Sony makes a great contender in this category with their 24.6 megapixel dSLR Alpha A900. You can blow those pictures up real big and they will look beautiful. Depending on what you are shooting you may appreciate the in-camera image stabilization. Image quality will be very high wit this thing... make sure you have a nice full frame lens!
|
|
|
|
|
|
They like to really exaggerate how much digital zoom the camera is capable of to try and trick people into buying the camera, assuming more is better. But like Alan and Jace said, it really just reduces image quality at a certain point. A good optical zoom is what you need!
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the one I would get.
I think it would be the best in terms of being able to stand up in bed without tipping over, because it has that nice wide base. Looks quite sturdy and quite durable. It's lightweight but has a tough leather exterior.
Available in 4 different colors.... this looks like a great case.

I think you would be very well off with a good ol' Rebel. With ISO 100 - 6400 you will be equipped for shooting from bright to dim light.
You can shoot by lighting or scene type, and the settings are expressed in easy to understand terms. Also, you can set the camera to figure out the best settings for you, if you don't yet know how.
You can also get a filter. Check out these filters, or something similar:
http://www.amazon.com/Multi-Coated-Multi-Threaded-...
They will help with UV protection and increased color saturation.
Gotta mess around with it to get the type of shots you want, but it should be doable on a rebel.

I think these would be worth your money, although the 36 mile range crap is obviously a huge exaggeration! I would count on like 4 or 5 miles. Pretty good though.
They get that 36 mile figure by figuring perfect conditions, with zero interference from obstructions or air.... so conditions that are impossible to find on planet earth!
But they are rated highly and a good brand :)

Hi Jeff! You're absolutely right about megapixels being misleading. Megapixels measure the actual size of the image in pixels. Actually has little to do with image quality, and unless you want to blow up your pictures really big, mp's are not too important. What is important is the processor and image sensor.
So I suggest something like this. I have a Powershot sx20 IS (around $450) and it takes excellent pictures, in all conditions. Great for a non-dslr.
This Canon has the new Canon DIGIC 5 image processor and a high-sensitivity 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, and it will capture high quality pics even in low light conditions. Shouldn't be blurry at all. Also to help fight blur it has Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer. Great camera, I think it will do you well!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well with a budget like that you have a wide range of options. This one is sort of in the mid range, price-wise at least. You could even opt for a Canon Pixma for like $40 and get great prints. But your large budget made me think you wanted something a little more professional and capable of high quality, large prints.
This will print outstanding images for you. Up to 13 X 19 inches and with a maximum 4800x2400 resolution, you will be printing professional quality stuff!
This is the real deal though... go with a pixma if you don't want all the bells and whistles!

Eee Pad will probably give you the best all around web browsing experience. I also really like iPad 2, but Eed Pad will view Flash websites much better, and seeing as a lot of sites are flash based, I'm sure it will be a much appreciated.
The other thing is that the Eed Pad is just generally great at being on the internet. It is powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 2 (dual-core) mobile processor capable of some very quick browsing, maybe the fastest of the droid tablets? And also some impressive graphics.
It also is good for multi-tasking. You will be able to switch from one app to another very quickly, check e-mails, update your FB status, listen to music, even Skype at the same time. Starting to close the gap between tablets and laptops, eh?
One more thing to mention would be battery life... very good battery life (expect 8+ hours) will keep you connected even while on the go.

This thing shines in just about every category. It's big, has a fast refresh rate, and offers a full HD, 1080p viewing experience. The one category in which it falls short (and I am telling you this right of the bat so there is no confusion!) is fast paced gaming. Now, while it does have a very fast refresh rate for TV viewing (and sports will look incredible), it exhibits some lag time with the gaming input (on game mode) for some reason. And this is only a problem with fast paced games like shooter games and such. Users that reported this problem with gaming also mentioned that as a non-gaming television this thing is spectacular. The image is top notch and the 3D mode is impressive. The 240Hz refresh rate will reduce motion blur to near zero and the display wil be beautiful.... deep colors, nice contrast, etc.
So, if you plan on doing some heavy gaming, this TV may not be for you. However, if you plan on using it for sports and other non-gaming viewing I think you will be more than pleased with its performance.

Barely over your budget at $108, I feel this is your best choice. Sony makes some nice cameras at this price point. I think you will be happy with how easy it is to operate and the quality of pictures you can capture. Their catch phrase for the camera is "Shoot more life with the Sony DSC-W530" which I think embodies what you want in a camera.
Your gonna get a little zoom here... 4x. Not too shabby! I think you will find it very useful.
It has image stabilization to help reduce blur.
The 14.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Image Sensor will capture some very nice images.
It has a 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD display which makes taking pics and reviewing pics super easy.
It has face recognition (up to 8 faces) that will automatically find and focus on 8 people, ensuring everyone is in focus and clear.
It also has a self portrait timer, and you can take video, although that's not one of the camera's more impressive features.
This will be fun and versatile, easy to use, and best of all... inexpensive!

It seems at your price point there may not be tons of options. Definitely high-end monitors will be out of the question. But this Asus or the Dell Ultra Sharp should perform well for you.
Both have IPS panels for nice consistent color depth at about any viewing angle. However, this one uses P-IPS, which is apparently better than S-IPS, although admittedly I don't really understand the difference.
I think either of these would be a great choice for this price range. They are both good monitors. Keep in mind IPS is sometimes not too great for video editing and is certainly more suited to photo editing :)

I had to get one of these to accompany my iPad because I like typing on an actual keyboard! These are great. Wireless, small, nice feel, battery operated, easy connectivity.

I would also think this Toshiba Satellite would be a nice option. Very similar to the Acer Doug suggested in almost every way...price, specs, it even looks similar. I suggest it because I have heard good things about these Satellites and they seem like nice computers.
With a screen this big it's almost like a mobile desktop! Lots of 'real estate.' Only 2 USB ports.... I don't know if that's a problem for you because for some people it is!

I also like the Bubble umbrella style for body coverage. Here's another good one for you.

I think I would go with this Vostro setup. They are so cheap. You get a 20" monitor and a mini tower for $379. Wow.
and windows 7 home premium is included in the price.
|

I put this stuff around my door and it worked to some success. The main problem is that it doesn't stick very well. Within about half an hour of putting it up it started falling down! So with some small picture hanging nails I banged it back on there and it has stayed ever since.
It noticeably reduces the draft of cold air. If I put my hand over the one spot I wasn't able to cover I can feel the cold air coming in...the rest is sealed pretty well.

I like these a lot... I feel like I'm in some fairy tale winter wonderland.

This is plenty of remote for me. It's cheap and easy to use, and works for up to 7 different devices. The best thing is that it has a learning feature where it can learn the same features that your old remote had, making the setup process much easier.
The buttons glow but aren't annoyingly bright.
It doesn't look like much, but it seems to be a really solid remote.

Cool...I'm jealous of your new TV!
I would recommend this wall mount, based on reviews I have read online. If I were to buy a wall mount for a 60" I would buy this one.
Reason is it's a super simple design, and it's totally versatile for many different types of TV's.
You certainly don't need anything fancy to mount a TV on your wall. No one will ever see it, and simple units are usually easier to deal with.
I wouldn't recommend buying one where the max recommended TV size is 60". That won't leave you any extra room to work with.
|
|
|
|
|

This one says it's good for up to 50" TV or 100 pounds. I imagine it would have no problem supporting your 60" plasma screen. I like the style and color. Check it out!

This is a good place to compare deals around the internet.... almost like the Kayak type thing where it shows you prices from all around the web.
I on't know if this is exactly what you want, but I think it would be worth your time to check out this website for some good deals!

Well I would definitely recommend a Crucial drive. Works with Windows 7.
Ever since installing this thing my computer is SOOOO much much faster.
I like these solid state drives because they use very little power and are basically silent. And of course lightning quick. Love it!

I bought this for my ipad but I definitely think it will work for your netbook.
It's obviously very simple....just a neoprene bag with handles, but I think it does the job well.
No shoulder strap with this one though.

My hubby and I use this and it's awesome! I don't know if he would want me sharing this info, but, ummmmm....oh well!
I suggest it for guys because it is unscented. You won't even notice a scent (we don't).
I love the scrubby feeling on my face.... I find it very soothing and after using it my skin is SERIOUSLY soft. Seriously, now. My husband may not admit it but I know he loves how it feels, too. How could you not?
I think of it as a passive acne treatment. I don't have acne (nor does my husband) but this will ensure I never do.... right?

This is the one I have and I think it's amazing because
A) it's cheap
B) it works!, and
C) holy moly it's cheap and it works!
Reads all sorts of memory cards, including SDHC. I don't know if it works any better or worse than any others, but it does the job just fine....I don't know how any other unit could be better or worse....it just works. And it's cheap! (did I mention that?)

Well I would have to suggest something from MindWare. I like their products because they require some thinking and often times some teamwork to get the thing built.
This particular one is a catapult!! What kid wouldn't LOVE to build something that you can launch things with?!
These things do require some gluing (wood glue) and some patience, so be ready fo that. But it's cool, a little different than legos.
BOMBS AWAY!!!

I'm with Sean on this one.... if you just need a simple way to add a little extra background lighting to your still pics, this would be a great way to do it. This is pretty much the same thing as Sean suggested, only this comes with 2 stands/umbrellas. This is a really simple set up... although you are going to have to do he research to find out exactly where to set the lights for the appropriate lighting.

here's the tv I'm thinking about buying for christmas this year. I saw it and costco and was quite impressed by the picture. I also like the look of the TV itself...very slick.
but seriously, that picture is WOWY nice and clear. it's full hd, 1080p, and is even energy star rated.
i should warn you it's NOT 3D capable....which is actually part of what drew me to it. I have absolutely no interest in wearing 3D glasses in my home and watching 3D movies. for some reason that doesn't do it for me!
good ratings on the internet and a beautiful picture make this TV seem like a worth while investment.

I've used this little kit before for bathroom touchups. It requires no extra tools... everything you need is right there in the kit. It's a good deal for that reason.... under 7 dollars.
The little tools that come with are very handy, too. They make the job easier.

This one works with Windows 7, I was very pleased to find out!! Beyond the fact that it works, I don't really know what to say!....... umm it works with Windows, Linux, Mac. I like the long cable, some of these things don't even have a cable, it's just one little unit.... that would be annoying.
Installs very easily. Get one!

Well I looked into Activia after all that hype about it. Turns out any good yogurt has lots of natural probiotics in it, and many other yogurts are actually better for you. See, Activia has a lot of sugar in it, and sugars will actually consume the good bacteria that you need.
I would suggest finding a natural yogurt...any will do... it doesn't have to be Activia! Yogurt is an important part in a healthy digestive system.

This is a fantastic digital piano for you to consider - I have this one myself and it is almost everything I could ever dream of in a piano. The reason I say 'almost' is because there is one thing I don't like, and that is there are not many sounds to choose from. However, that being said, you can add a lot of effects like reverb and echo to each sound, and even combine sounds into one composite sound, so you can create a lot of interesting stuff nonetheless.
Now the good stuff.
The feel of this keyboard is ridiculously realistic. It has weighted keys that are so realistic you could do a blind play test with a professional and I bet they couldn't tell the difference between this keyboard and a real piano. The sounds, though minimal in quantity, are very realistic as well and pleasant to my ear.
The look and feel of the piano is wonderful all the way around. Simple and sleek.... no touch screens, no complicated menus. Just push and play. It also has a bunch of preprogrammed songs, and you can split the keyboard to play one sound on the top half (or wherever you chose to split it) and a different sound on the bottom.
I think this is a marvelous piano for you to consider. It has everything you need, and nothing you don't!

This looks like it would be just about perfect for you, although it's just over budget. It's small but powerful, running on an 18v rechargeable lithium ion battery.
The reason I think it's so perfect for you is you said you only have one room in your house that has carpet... well this vacuum is designed for carpet or hard floors, so you can use it on the rest of your house, too! With the flip of a switch you can change between carpet and hard floors... it will turn off the motorized power brush.
Seems like a good one! Check it out!

This would be something fun for you to try, to see if you like it. It is definitely a non-permanent color, and washes out in a few weeks. It is available in few different shades, and what it does is blend your grays to your natural hair color. It's more subtle than a straight up color job. And easier to apply. It's less permanent than hair dye, but it's also less of a hassle.

I have been using this thermos for a few months now after receiving one for my birthday in May. It retains heat really well, due to the vacuum insulation, I presume. Of course in the same vein it will keep drinks cold for many hours as well.
It's a good size for me. It holds up to 34 oz of liquid, which is definitely more than enough coffee for this girl!
The lid twists off and can be used as a cup. It is spill proof. It also looks nice, as stainless steel tends to.
I think it is a fantastic thermos. I have no complaints.

As long as you are under 200 lbs (by your pic it sure looks like you are!) then this will be a great buy for you. it's sort of a light duty mini tramp, but it's perfect for daily exercise. as long as you use it as it's intended to be used it will give you a lot of action.
I've had mine over a year with nothing but great results.... and I've lost 8 pounds!

AWESOME BEAN BAG CHAIR!! This thing is really big! Definitely big enough for two people to share, comfortably. It is made well, and feels full and fluffy. You know how some bean bag chairs get flat and dead after a while? Not this one... a year later mine still feels nice as ever!

Do you have any specific needs, like you want it to be able to inflate car tires? This one won't do that. It will inflate bike tires, soccer balls, that sort of thing. Up to 160 psi. It works pretty well!
Comes with an a/c plug and a car adapter. The a/c plug is VERY short which is annoying, but the car adapter is really long.... wish they would have split the difference!
Oh well, I am happy with it, and it does exactly what I expected it to do.

i am a big fan of these bagless vacuum cleaners. way cheaper in the long run, and emptying it is not as hard as some people make it seem.
it is very powerful. 12 amps is more than enough power. I mean it really cleans - definitely the best vacuum i've ever owned in the suction category.
also wins in the bulk category, though. and weight, for that matter. the thing is large and quite heavy... i don't know if you can tell from the pics. not ideal for multiple floors.
cleans like a champion though, and for that i am thankful.

This one has all the right features that make it a great choice for you. Removable grinding chamber for cleaning and pouring. Selectable grind options to get the perfect grind every time. Hands-free grinding.
I use it every day and it's nothing but easy, simple and right on the money every time!

meeeowwww... that's what my cats say about this stuff.
luckily, I can translate kitty language and that means "this cat food is delicious, thank you for feeding me something healthy that actually tastes good!"
besides this, there are no grains in this cat food so it's easy to digest.
much like dogs, cats' digestive systems are not designed to deal with grains, so digesting them can be a problem for them... and this makes for a problem for you!
give 'em what they deserve! a taste of the wild.

Cooking is a wonderful thing to do as a family. I haven't actually used this book, nor do I think this specific book is necessary.
Find some fun recipes with your family... pick out an appetizer, main course and a dessert to make and give everyone a job to do.
It can be really fun! PLUS you get a wonderful meal out of it.
Make something out of the ordinary, since it's a special night. Try BBQ pizza, or a spagetti bar or something!

I didn't expect much out of this little USB speaker here when I got it. It's pretty small, made in China, doesn't feel like much in my hand. But when I turned it on for the first time it was like DAMN! these sound pretty good!
Compared to the built in speakers on my macbook, these are a thousand times better. They produce more sound and have a larger range of sound because the speakers are a little bigger than the built in ones. Also, you can point it to face you directly, whereas the built in speakers on a macbook face backwards. This alone makes a huge difference.
They aren't spectacular or anything, but they are refreshingly louder and clearer than the built ins. Also, I like that the only power they need to operate comes from the USB that you plug it into.

I think this pad is definitely worth the $20 I payed for it. I put it on my plain old office chair and it added the lumbar support I needed to FORCE me to sit up straighter.
After a few weeks of using you will notice that you sit up straight on every chair because you get so used to it, it becomes more comfortable.
My back has felt so much better since I started using this... I suggest you try it. A great, inexpensive option for you.

I think this is a beautiful halter dress right here. I love the diagonal cut at the bottom, it creates a nice interesting line.

I would equate beginner with inexpensive, because you probably don't want to drop a bunch of cash on a new hobby that won't pan out.
So I think the best amp would be one that is inexpensive and still puts out a good sound. That's why I recommend this line 6 spider! I think it's the probably the best sounding amp you will find for around a hundred dollars.
Obviously if you start performing and stuff you will need to spend more to get a higher quality amp eventually. But this thing will enable you to practice at home and learn some new tunes without breaking the bank.

This is a wonderful multi tool that is perfect for camping. I take it with me all the time for various outdoor activities, and I also keep it around the house because of its multi purpose function.
It's basically a leatherman tool, redesigned to be a little cooler, a little bigger, and I think, a little more comfortable.
You should look at the pictures here so you can see the cool, interesting way that it folds up.
Has all the usual suspects in terms of tools.
Comfortable grip, well built tools. Great knife tool!

I have a macbook air and I wouldn't consider it fragile one bit. It has a solid exterior.The frame, or chassis, also feels very solid. It's not bendable or anything. Very well built, just small.
It's certainly no more fragile than, say, an iPad, or any other small laptop.
As always, it's a good idea to keep it in a nice sturdy case, and take very good care of it, because it is an expensive electronic device.

This here fish tank is extremely cool looking. I like it because it doesn't even really look like a fish tank.
The heater isn't very good unfortunately, so keeping the right temps can be difficult, and no other heater really fits it.
I wouldn't recommend it if you live in a cooler climate because you might not be able to keep the water warm enough!

This would be SAWEEEEET in your old fireplace! So cool. I have one of these on my counter and as you can see it's really cool looking.
They're stackable, too! Put a few in there. That would be a cool and unexpected thing to see in a fireplace!

Well if there's snow you gotta take advantage of it!! Try cross country skiing, it's really fun and aerobic. Go out and sled... buy yourself a toboggan or something.

sounds like a wicked case of runner's knee! if you have flat feet or your toes turn in at all, it can cause your patella to scrape against the cartilage in your knee... ouch!
I would say you need to A) lay off your knees for a little bit, as the cartilage will regenerate, B) get some good shoes AND and some runners insoles, and C) do some quad exercises, as your quads are the muscles that hold the patella in place, and the stronger it is, the more effective it will be and holding everything in place.

I like the lip style spoiler for a Miata.
The car is so tiny to begin with, too much spoiler just makes it look funny. It needs to be simple and understated. This is perfect.

i would say this machine would certainly have enough processing power for you to use at school. unless you're in the arts, you should probably go with a pc, because it's usually more compatible with the machines at universities... at least mine was that way.
i have this hp and though i am no computer buff i know when a computer works well for me and when it doesn't. this one does. word processing and internet is a breeze. it runs everything i need it to do without fail, however I don't game on it or watch movies.
the screen is bright and clear. also, the camera is awesome on this thing.
i would say for light-medium use, you won't find a better laptop for the price.

Sennheiser makes a fantastic headphone. My music listening experienced is dramatically better after purchasing these phones. The clarity and depth of sound is remarkable. I hear music on a whole new level!
Now keep in mind these are open air and not designed to block a ton of external noise, although they do a little bit.
They are comfortable on my head - yay finally some over ear headphones that aren't annoyingly uncomfortable!
I would say they are a great balance of high quality vs. price. They're not the best on the market, but they're certainly not the worst. They are a nice middle ground where the features and sound quality of the higher priced headphones meet the nice prices of medium priced ones and they are fantastic! Music has never sounded so great.

I think this nikon (or canons almost identical, similar model) would be the best bet. It's just an amazing camera all the way around, the lens, the zoom, the intuitive usability, and last but not least the amazing picture quality!
plus, even an idiot like me can use it, no problem.
This camera will be equally comfortable taking up close stills in your home studio as taking outdoor vista shots.
really nice camera...hooray for nikon for making such awesome stuff

This is the gentlest moisturizer I have found and I especially like it for these reasons a) it has natural ingredients like chamomile related feverview, and b) it has the spf 15, so I don't need another layer of cream on my face to protect it from the devastating sun.
the best i've found for my sensitive skin!

How about a beautiful candle holder like this one or something similar? Candle holders are an excellent gift... there is something therapeutic about candles being lit.

Surprisingly, this stuff works pretty darn well for me, and aside from a little dry mouth no complaints. My husband says he notices a difference. No more sawing logs' in the middle of the night as he calls it.

Kenneth Cole makes a nice mens slip on... I know because my husband won't really wear any other brand of dress shoe because these are the only brand that really 'fit his foot' or some crap.
But I love them and so does he.... they look fantastic I love how these elongate his leg/foot... it just looks more fashionable. The wrap around buckle is a nice touch, too!

This would be perfect! It's something that just about anyone could use, but no one want to spend 30 bucks on a water bottle for themselves. That's why it's such a great gift!
These are good bottles. Watertight and vacuum insulated. She will get a lot of use out of this and think it's great.

I would say this is a dartboard that is competitive to ones twice it's price. There's nothing wrong with this board, and at 35 bucks its a screaming deal. The only thing I can think of that is at all negative is the colors on the board are a bit muted, so it's not overly attractive. Other than that Thee are very few bounce outs and I am pleased with it.

I would say you need this bench and a big ol' barbell to accompany. Start with low weight until you are comfortable, and (with a spotter of course) try to eventually move towards high weight, low rep workouts. This will build the most muscle mass. Protein will be needed to rebuild your muscles, so figure out your best way to take in more protein.

This is a nice medium weight (also sort of medium-stylish) glove for you to consider. I see a lot of men wearing these, or something similar, on their way to work. It's not a beautiful leather glove or anything, but it is warm and very much understated. Just a sleek black glove.

I would suggest a small SUV like a Honda CR-V or something similar. They are perfect for small families. They have similar gas mileage to many sedans, but boast more cargo carrying ability (for football and ballet gear) and generally better safety ratings.
I love my CR-V! Drives great and holds a ton of cargo. Right in your price range.

This is a wonderful general civil war knowledge book. If you could only own one civil war book it should be this one. A comprehensive collection of pictures, facts, drawings, eye witness accounts, stories, and narrative about the civil war from start to finish.
I love the pictures in this book. They are incredible and I've never seen them in other books I've read on the subject. It's a book that is fun to read because of the way it is presented - not just text. Pics and drawing make it more user friendly and an enjoyable, interesting read for even the non-history buff.

this is my first time using a '____ for dummies' book and I am quite pleased with it! They obviously hire knowledgable people to write it, and it's put together in such a way that is easy to follow and understand. A great way to learn gardening basics.

If you need to get way up there this will be your best friend. 10 feet long, and has different attachments for cleaning your fan, the floor, windows, etc.
I had to buy one when I moved into my new house because the windows went up so high, but I found out it's also great for cleaning my fan with the included attachment.

my daughter loves this game! she got it as a birthday gift and she and her friends absolutely loved it!
of course 4 months later it's sitting in her closet untouched, but 'tis the way of a 6 year old.
it's very simple and can be played immediately upon opening - you shake up the tube and have to find the objects from the list inside. very exciting for a 5 - 8 year old girl! it's pink and everything so it's perfect if she's one of the many 6 year old girls into the color pink.
it will be great right out of the wrapping.... that's why I think this is o good one.

You should think about some drawing or painting 'how to' books and a kit like this. get into drawing and painting.... it's really fun and you will get lost in your drawings!

Huge Jordan fan! this is a great highlight/inspirational video that has hours and hours of footage of Jordan dunking, shooting, stealing and flying all around the court.
It's really cool and has a massive amount of material.
The only silly thing that you may notice (in the dunks section at least) is that they edited it so that he always dunks right on the beat to the soundtrack!
It gets very humorous after awhile!

Rowenta has been making top notch irons for years. This is a great one...It's what I use! There are some issues with this model staying on... it's got an interesting on/off problem sometimes because the automatic off switch sometimes becomes activated accidentally and that's annoying. Doesn't usually happen though and I usually get some really good use out of it.

I found this kit very useful for learning calligraphy, as a beginner. There are 3 different size pens and lots of refills. The instructions aren't great but they get the point across. It's fun and I'm actually pretty good at it!
Sometimes I do encounter some ink-flow problems wit the 'nibs' which sucks because it goobers up my beautiful handwriting.
But all in all I've gotten good use out of it and it's great!

might as well go for the gold. if you're gonna do it, do it right. spend the money and get something that is useful and that will last. spend the time to install it correctly and ensure it's done right and looks great. YOu will be very happy with it, and it will actually make your closet look fancier than it really is!!!

This might seem totally random, but I think it's a nice gift! What guy wouldn't love one of these? They are very high quality and extremely useful. Plus, it's such a guy thing to have a pocket knife. I'm sure he would love it!
It's fun because it's interactive and he can go test its usefulness right away!

i would say if you eat a healthy diet and exercise as much as possible (jogging is the best!) you could potentially lose 3 - 6 pounds in a couple of weeks.
5 is definitely a doable number. you need to be eating things like un-cooked vegetables, nuts, and un-breaded chicken.
avoid soda and sugar at all costs!
but i think the most important aspect of losing the weight is definitely exercise. see if you start running, or at least speed walking. you gotta burn the calories you take in or else they will turn to fat!
also - no late night snacks.
notice i am not asking you to do anything drastic. you can eat a decent amount of food, as long as it's healthy and you're running or something.
good luck! it can be done.

you have probably seen these before, but i just wanted to let you know that they are incredibly useful! I have two, one on each side of my wide (but not deep) closet. Great solution for lack of space... or if you just own too many clothes like me.
Great for my foldable items like tees and pants. also some of my shoes go in there, like my flip flop collection.
all you do is hang it up and you've instantly added a buch of shelves! pretty cool and as easy as it gets.

this book is so good my friend who is actually masseuse says it's very legit. she's the one who recommended it to me because I wanted to learn some deep tissue techniques to do with my husband. we both have stressful jobs and need some unwinding at the end of the day.
i found this book to be extremely useful. it has easy to read text. it's written well and totally makes sense the whole time...no jargon i don't understand.
the pictures are the best tool, though. very detailed and they show you exactly where to put your hands and the direction to rub the muscle.
also has general massage techniques to make the overall experience better.
really fun to practice with your partner because it feels really good and you start to see yourself progressing and getting better and better.
i feel like in a month my massages will be worth 80 bucks an hour.

This great toy is geared towards kids older than newborn, but he will grow into it. I recommend it because it's like the only toy of this type that isn't super obnoxious. The sound quality is good! It's not too loud and it actually sounds like music instead of the tinny electronic crap that usually comes out of these toys. The songs play for a while, too. It's not like 5 seconds and you have to start it again.
It's the only toy like this that I don't hate!
My boy loves it. Fun colors, designs, and songs. Under 10 dollars... great buy!

I like that the chain is short and shiny metal on this one. not super noticeable because the chain isn't too long.

Columbia makes a very warm, reasonably priced jacket. This thing will shield you from cold as well as precipitation, and combined with a layer or two is warm even on the coldest days.
I like the removable hood because I only need a hood very occasionally. It's nice having the option of taking it off.
Has a 'media' pocket inside.... which is the iPod compartment you're looking for.
This is is probably the best thing you will find for under $100.

here's a cool floral print on linen. it's cool because it's a big print that sort of takes up the whole shirt. cotton, too.
The only thing is that this is not a fitted shirt, so it may be a bit baggy and flowy on you. Probably designed for guys with a slightly bigger frame?

I don't really understand why they call it a surf pack because it's pretty much just a normal backpack.... I guess it has a compartment for a wetsuit, but you can put anything you want in it! Not just wetsuits!
My son uses it for school (he's in college) I bought it for him because he needed a tough pack with lots of pockets. It certainly has plenty of pockets and can hold his books and 15" laptop no problem. It even has an insulated pocket for keeping beverages cold! I can only hope he uses it for pop and not beers.
I think it looks like a fun adult bag. It's not boring looking, but it's also not covered in logos and stuff.

Great shirt! I bought this for my brother because he's taking lessons and needed a nice tennis shirt. He loves how it looks (so do I, it's cool!) and says it's quite comfortable.
He says it's decent at keeping him cool, although like any polyester it can get hot. Very resilient to washes and wear. i recommend it, and I know he would, too!

My man looks so hot in this swimsuit. There's no patters or anything, so to make up for the blandness they've put two awesome colors together to create a nicely contrasting bright colored suit. Nice fit, nice material. I will buy diesel swimwear again!
|

|

I highly suggest this dual exhaust tip. It's a totally different league of quality and performance. It's actually supposed to improve the performance of your exhaust system by relieving back up pressure.
It looks beautiful and real, because it is. It's made od high grade stainless steel and is tough as nails.
it will bring a whole new look to your vehicle.... especially a sporty one!

This is an excellent cushion for you... although it's definitely more of a heating product than a cushion.
I suggest it to you because I once had similar issues with long road trips, in that after a few hours my back would be absolutely stiff as a board and I would have to make frequent pit stops to stretch. My problem wasn't too little padding, it turned out. My problem was lack of blood flow in my lower back.
Someone turned me on to this cushion, so I thought I'd try one out, seeing as they are fairly inexpensive.
I was surprisingly pleased with this thing! It's pretty awesome and really helps to keep blood circulating and muscles loose.
It has 3 heat settings... high gets pretty hot, so I usually start on high to get it going then turn it down to medium.
It was easy enough to strap on to my chair, and doesn't move around if you attach it right.
Make sure you unplug it when you leave the car. Very important! It will drain your battery if you don't!!!! I found out the hard way, don't let this happen to you!!

These are some super fancy leather boots. I think fashion boots in general have a certain fanciness to them. Leather upper and a nice cushioned sole...slight heel for a little extra added height. I love the red brown leather. Beautiful.

This is gonna be a great shoe for you. It's light enough for everyday use but tough enough for the trail. Obviously it looks like a hiking shoe and not like a casual shoe, but as long as it's comfortable and light (this one has a mesh upper) it will be great around town.
I think the most important thing for a versatile hiking shoe is its lightweightedness. (obviously not a word) It just has to be light and comfortable to wear it around all day.
The thing is, all hiking shoes are designed to be worn all day, so you just gotta find one that pleases you aesthetically. I like this shoe a lot! Looks great and is light.

this is great for my suv and probly your trunk, to. i like that it straps on to the seat so it can't float around back there. very useful for keeping all of that sporting equipment in one place after practice.

Might as well complete the outfit with a pair of cool camoflauge shades?
These are okay shades... you get what you pay for. Cheap frames and lenses, but they are comfortable and block UV rays, so I'm happy.

Who knew GMC could make bikes, too!??? This is a fantastic bike for under 500. It's not the best bike ever, but for the money I'm very satisfied. If you're just zipping around trails, this is perfect for you. The suspension feels really nice, especially on the trails.
It has 21 speeds, decent disc brakes and offers a pretty comfortable ride throughout.
A couple of things to warn you about, though. I think it's pretty heavy - almost 40 lbs. That's a lot of bike.
The tires are very tready - big, thick treads. Great for off-road, kind of choppy on the road... not what I would call a smooth ride. But tires can be changed if need be.
Also, the handlebars are kind of low. Watch out if this is for a tall person, because he/she might find themselves bending over uncomfortably far.
All around, though, a nice bike that performs well.

I've had a lot of luck with this stuff. You should try it out it works really well especially if you use it as a pre soak, too.

To me, comfort in a flip flop means two things: cushioned sole, and a thong that doesn't rub my feet wrong.
These are fantastic for those reasons. There is a gel insert in the heel that offers unmatched comfort in flip flop as far as i'm concerned. The thong part is a soft, comfortable material with no prickly edges or anything. No blisters or anything for me.
I will say the gel insert could be made better - it started to crack after a while. It still works fine, but it is cracked a little bit.

As with all Michael Kors products, this trench coat is fashion forward and well made. A very attractive coat, this thing is actually pretty water proof like it says it is. I mean it won't survive a hurricane, but a light to medium downpour is no match for this thing. the 100% cotton outer is coated in a waterproof seal, that seems to do its job quite nicely.
It will provide you with a sophisticated, urban look.
It's made of cotton, so it will breath a little for ya and stay ventilated.

I would say frequent washing is really the only way.... see if you can get a wash every 2 -3 weeks so the salt doesn't cake on there and ruin your paint.

for me the hardest part is keeping the cup holder area clean, with drinks, change, gum, small bits of trash everywhere. I found having a trash bag in the car really helps, as does either a rag or some wipes. usually i can get away with just using a little water and a rag, though... at least for the cup holder.

This is so funny! I got this for my husband as a joke last fall and he actually wears it around! I love it. So funny. The chain is pretty attractive (though a little short) so even if you can't see the mustache part, it still looks good. But oh man the mustache is so funny!
Great gift.

This is exactly what you need. This is a light duty carabiner (light duty for climbing, very heavy duty for key ring use!) with a small amount of webbing leading to a perfect little steel ring to attach your key ring to. If you like, ditch the webbing completely and just slide your key ring onto the carabiner.
You can then clip your keys to things all the time so they won't fall out. Like if they're in your pocket, clip them to your pocket edge, or clip them to your belt. Clip them to your purse strap then set them inside the purse and zip it up. Now they're easily accesible and always attached to something.

I think it's for comfort as well as heat management. Less material is always better when doing strenuous activities. I know I feel cooler (temp wise) with low socks than taller ones.

I think it depends on what you mean by 'best' but I think a high grade cow leather is my fav. Maybe not the smoothest, but very durable and soft

Yeah I know what you mean. My car can be sparkling clean but there always seems to be dead bugs all over my headlamps. Of course bugs are attracted to light, so I guess it makes sense....
Anyways I've never tried it but I heard using really high count sand paper that has been soaked in soapy water works. Obviously be careful if you try this because you don't want to scratch your lights. I think it will work. Makes sense to me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah I was gonna say ice or goof off.... both work well when used individually. Actually I would ice it first, (with an ice pack), scrape off the big chunks, then use the goof off to get all the excess residue out of there. it will be like new

This is a very small but effective bottle jack. It's kind of cheap and obviously only designed for small small vehicles, but it does get the job done. Not hard to assemble or use, although it sure does take a while to get the car lifted up to where I want it.
The thing that's particularly difficult is finding the right place to put it because it is REALLY small and you don't want to apply all that pressure and have it slip or anything...would be tragic.
|

These are comfortable and versatile and a good price. I love them for their wrap around look... but they can also be converted to goggles easily. Just remove the legs and attach the adjustable strap to secure them even tighter! They also come with 3 interchangeable lenses... clear, tint, and yellow. See? Versatile.
They look good on my face and stay on really well. Also have UV and scratch resistant lenses. They are really rugged and would also be perfect for paintballing, I would suspect.
I also want to say that mine arrived at my house very quickly. A+ for shipping.

AAA is like THE auto/travel group of America, so I trust them to make a nice product. They put a lot of thought into everything they do! This is a really compact, basic first aid kit with everything you need to have piece of mind on the road. Also ideal for home or any travel use, this kit has all the bandages, bandaids and antiseptic ointment you will need, along with scissors, tweezers and gloves.
It's conveniently small and ideal for car camping trips. The clear plastic makes it easy to find any item i need before I try to rummage around in everything. Also comes with a carabiner right on it so you can clip it to your tent or pack. Great little first aid kit.

Python makes a wonderful security and remote starter system. I've had one of their products before and I have had nothing but good luck with them. This one is a remote starter with keyless entry and security... all must have features if you ask me. The only thing it doesn't come with is installation instructions, so you will probably have to get it installed professionally.... maybe 200 bucks. Python is a good company, so you shouldn't have any problems finding someone that is willing to do it and can do it fast.
This thing has an amazing range... they advertise it as one mile and I believe it.
The remote has an LCD screen and has vibrations and tones to let you know what feature is being activated or deactivated.
The security system is awesome and works with a shock sensor in your car. If something or someone bumps it lightly it starts with a low warning sound, and anything harder than a light bump activates an all out alarm.
The remote itself is kind of cheap feeling and certainly is not the most durable piece of equipment I've ever held, but I try to be careful with it. It's really small and streamlined,too. Fits on my keyring without getting in the way at all.
Great stuff python! 10 out of 10 in my book.

This may not be the biggest but it's definitely the baddest! Wow if you haven't heard these JL's you're missing out. They are the best of the best... I will never put anything else in my car! I've never heard such a sweet bass sound before.... and I mean sweet like luscious and full. Amazingly accurate and solid, this guarantees to impress. If you have this kind of budget, you've got to get a JL.
It has a huge 12.5" diameter and a max power output of 750 watts. This is better than a kicker. Some people have told me they have two of them in their car and I was like WHAT? why? one is way more than enough sound , at least for me.
Beware of JL, though... sometimes they make their equipment a certain way that forces you to buy other pieces of their equipment to make it work... like an amplifier that has the right output, for example.
I also want to say to those people out there with bad reviews for JL that they obviousy have their stuff set up wrong or have a crappy amp or something because there is just no denying that these are amazing!

This woofer was recommended to me by a friend who installs car audio because I have limited space and he said it's the ultimate space saver. Now that I know more about this stuff, I can see that he was absolutely right.... and by the way I love this woofer and highly recommend it to you.
It's a powered woofer, with a 200W amp built right into it. It has a 10" woofer and a 10" passive radiator all built in, too... thus the space saving ability. It comes with tons of adjustments and controls that make it very easy to integrate with just about any car audio system and make it sound exactly how you want it to sound.
Also has a nice feature called "Servo Control" which basically monitors your voice coil's position in the magnetic gap to prevent distortion. I don't fully understand how it works, but I can tell you that I have not experienced any distortion or fuzzyness or anything.
One issue I have read online is that the amps in these units tend to give out after a few months, and I have something to say about that: EVERY SINGLE woofer or similar product online has a couple of negative reviews saying that it breaks after a few months, but this is obviously because these people don't know how to take care of their equipment! The majority of reviews ar positive, so take care of your stuff and use it correctly and you will get good results!

These are some really heavy duty tie downs... I don't know what you are intending to move on your roof, but make sure it's strapped on tight! These can ensure that it is. These are ratcheting tie downs with rubber coated, anti rust ratchets, so tightening your load has never been easier. Also, you get four of these in a pack, and they're each 15 feet long. That is a lot of tie down capability. Probably the last set of tie downs you will ever need!
They are actually designed for strapping down ATVs and water vehicles and stuff, so they are really serious straps. Take note, though - it says online here that each strap is rated up to 1500 lbs max workload, but on the box it clearly says 660lbs max, so know what your load weight is. But if you're just moving stuff on your roof, these will be more than adequate.

This is a great gift for your ford enthusiast to take to the race track! Everyone needs one or two of these chairs. They're so simple and easy, light, foldable, hardly take up any room.... and fairly durable, too.
There's also cup holders in there.... mesh cup holders. Actually, more like beer can holders. But you get the idea.
I like these chairs because i think they are one of the more comfortable folding chairs available.

I bought this for my younger brother because he just got a super lifted wrangler and wanted to romp it a little bit. I wasn't very keen on this idea (neither were our parents) so for his B Day I got him this little thing. HE LOVES IT. He likes adding tons of accessories like all jeep owners do, so this was perfect. I did my research, so I know some things about it... like it can inflate a tire in 2 1/2 minutes. Well, my bro says it's more like 3 or 4 minutes but that's still really quick.
He also says he likes the fact that it can blow up footballs, floaties, and bike tires, for his camping trips and stuff. I noticed when I saw it that it looked very solid and well built, and I know he's had no problems with it, other than it getting quite hot if used too much (He got a tiny burn on his arm from using it too much, not paying attention and accidentally putting his arm on one of the connections... ouch)
But he loves it and I recommend it on his behalf!

First of all, I just want to say that 'whisper soft' is certainly an exaggeration! Although it is considerably quieter than some other compressors I've used. This 12 V tire inflator is a pretty amazing little piece of equipment that will someday definitely get you out of a jam. It can inflate basically any small - mid sized tire, even up to larger RV and my SUV's tires in no time. It has a pretty fast air output (about 30L/minute) and max PSI output of about 130. This is pretty good for such a small device!
Like I said, I use it on my Jeep Cherokee's tires to keep them inflated to where I want them. Also comes with 4 adapters so you can inflate just about anything that's inflatable! Awesome for bike tires and basketballs and stuff.
It was designed for ease of use. It has a 10ft power cord and a 16ft air hose so you don't have to move it all around to get all your tires.
Beware of this though... very important: there is no power adapter for your wall! You can only use it in your car cigarette lighter! So make sure you have ample power for it... and watch out for blown fuses!

This is a great option for you if you're looking for just a standard, full face helmet. It's kind of a middle ground between protection and bulk. It has a thermoplastic resin shell and a boat load of padding (you can see in the pic) and feels strong and secure all around my head. It's also DOT approved.
Make sure you order a little smaller than you think. I had to send my first one back because it was too big, and ended up with a size that would normally be too small on me, but fits nicely!

I looove that new car smell! how could you not love it? this is a concentrated spray that not only smells great but eliminates bad odors, too. You only need one or two sprays to get that old car smelling fresh and clean once again, for the last time.

This is basically just a huge rechargeable battery that you can use to give power to whatever needs it (aside from large appliances!) like your laptop, phone, whatever. It can run multiple appliances for a decent amount of time... but if you're watching a movie on a small tv you might only get a couple of hours out of it.
I suggest only using it for emergencies, like it was designed for, but it is nice to have around for camping and stuff, to charge your phone.... and it has a built in light. It has AC and DC outlets, too.
It will jumpstart a car, but not a big one. Don't expect tons of power to be generated from something this small. It's designed for light use only. Also, if you intend on jump starting a vehicle, it really should be at a full charge, so keep that in mind when you use it!

I actually have the RocketBox 15, not 15s.... I don't know what the difference is, but this is the only one I could find a picture of and it looks exactly like mine!
I have a smaller vehicle (nissan sentra) son I needed something designed for a non SUV. This thing caught my eye because it is so sleek and aerodynamic, and I knew it wouldn't affect my gas mileage too too much. (it certainly does a little, but worth it for the extra storage!)
It's perfect for my needs, especially my weekend getaways. I obviously can't fit much of anything in my little car, and when my husband and I go camping or fishing or whatever we need to bring more gear than we have space for... so this is perfect. I would say it's a light duty carrier for shorter trips. It is designed very well but feels a little flimsy, and it has a relatively low weight limit... so keep this in mind.
My only complaint is that it is definitely not waterproof. This is probably because the flimsy plastic that it's made of bends a little on the highway, AND the locking mechanism is located on the side, so there is nothing on the front holding it down.
All this being said, I still think it's a great carrier, and really isn't as flimsy as I made it sound.... it will get the job done for light duty needs for sure!

If it wasn't for the fact that this bag is not 100% waterproof, I would say it was PERFECT! It does just about everything else better than anticipated... why not just make it waterproof?! Anyways... The best thing this bag offers is the exceptional cinching ability of the cross straps. You can put just about anything in there and cinch it down super tight. I like the security it givs me on the open road.
I also like the aesthetics of it. It looks cool and sporty, like there's fun stuff in that bag!
It's also expandable, from 10 to 15 cubic feet. This is actually pretty significant, and is very useful for lots of different occasions. It's also made of a very durable, heavy duty material.
Like I said, everything is awesome about this thing except it's lack of water proofing. Maybe you can coat it with a water proof seal? I don't know, but worth a try...

My husband had this installed in my vehicle for a birthday present after months of asking (well....nagging) him about it. I love it 90% of the time, and the other 10% I only like it.
We'll get the bad part out of the way first (but keep on reading to the good parts!).
In general, the navigation is okay at best. (I think you will find a similar conclusion with any review of this product!) It just doesn't always work how I want it to... like it takes awhile to figure out where I am, and if there is lots of traffic and lots of roads around me, it seems to get confused and just kind of checks out for a minute! Then I'm just left hanging to figure things out for myself, which can be catastrophic!
Now the good. It has a beautiful 7" color display, with touchscreen technology. The 3D interface has a customizable home menu so you can easily set it up to your specs. It come Pandora iPhone capable and comes with Musicsphere, so you can create playlists based on your mood and other things. It comes with 3 RCA preouts in case you want to add some extra amplification. It can also play your cd's, ipod, and can do am/fm tuning. It's really easy to connect to your iphone, and the sound quality on phone calls is exceptional. In general the audio quality is very good. I wish they would work on their navigation problems, because aside from from this, I absolutely love this thing!

I chose this kenwood because it uses garmin navigation technology.... the only gps I can trust! It's a great unit for me and my purposes. Garmin makes a great gps unit, in fact I had this installed because my old garmin finally got all busted up, so I was forced to invest in a new one. Garmins have some cool features like 3D building map and all the pre programmed points of interest. My only concern with garmin is when I go into the city it tends to get confused.... or at least when I am in a big city and then turn it on, it has a tough time figuring out where I am. But, when I start outside the city and drive through, it follows me right. I do a lot of driving so I know all the little issues.
Besides the navigation, this ting has some other great features too. The touchscreen is super simple and easy for my small fingers to deal with. It is connected to my sound system so I can play my iPod, which is awesome! it actually comes equipped with outputs for front, rear, and a subwoofer! It sounds really good and is easy to use with my iPod. Also it's bluetooth capable, for those states where talking on the phone is illegal...
This is a really nice unit. Pay to get it installed correctly.... it only takes an hour and is totally worth it!

This is one hell of a fancy receiver. I can only begin to tell you how many things this is capable of..... but I'll give you a sample: it is capabel of 5.1 or 7.1 channels, and with 7 channels you will experience 110 X 7 watts exploding out of your speakers. It has front USB connectivity for your convenience - connect you iphone or i-whatever directly to the receiver.
It easily connects to your HD video, HD audio, and internet sources, and you can connect your video camera on the front via the HDMI inputs to watch your home videos or what have you. It supports jpeg, mp3, wav, and wma digital formats. it even comes bluetooth ready, and can play internet radio. They claim that it is 'future proof' because it is so versatile and has so many inputs...which it does! Lots of inputs.
Some issues seem to arise with the HDMI out put, like they stop working after a while. I haven't experienced this, but I guess we'll see...
buy this receiver and you won't be sorry, and you'll be set for a looonnnggg time!

I played a lot of piano growing up at school and at church and stuff, and if I can suggest one thing it would be to get an 88 key piano! You really do need that extra octave if you want to get the most out of your instrument.
It's a nice set up that comes with a wooden stand and a sustain pedal. You can even record your own songs on the built in 6 track recorder. It has interactive lessons if you're a beginner and want to learn some basics. This is great piano for dorm rooms!
I will warn you though... it does not have weighted keys, so it's not a good practice tool for real piano stuff. The feel and key action is totally different and it will be weird to transition back to the real deal after practicing on this!

This is a great little 5.1 channel system featuring 2 front, 2 surround, one center, one sub. They sound really nice in my living room which has a lot of furniture that could dampen the sound... but it doesn't! The woofer pumps out some nice lows... I think it's an 8 incher. I think this is an outstanding value considering the sound I get out of them, and the volume for that matter. Sometimes quieter films get a little muddy sounding, but nothing I can't deal with.

Who knew Dr. Dre was an engineer as well? jk. I read about his inspiration for making these, and he talked about how so much gets lost with everyday crappy headphones, that you don't experience the music as it is meant to be heard. This is so sad, because there are so many intricacies in all types of music that they spend so much time on in the studio and it just doesn't transfer to your ear correctly. So buy these! Yeah... they are fantastic and you will certainly fall in love with them right away, especially if you've been using standard phones.
They have all the right stuff: power isolation technology, great noise cancelling capabilities, they use top of the line monster cables throughout, and they come with a touring case and 1/4" adapter.
They run on 2 AAA batteries, and I would guess I get like 25 hours on them. Aesthetically pleasing and very comfortable.... my only concern with them is that of durability. The have a lot of plastic parts that I feel may not last... only time will tell
As of now I am very satisfied!

I hesitate to say this machine is perfect, but it's pretty darn close. It was actually designed by BMW design works, an award winning design team. Next they need to incorporate these into their cars!
This is an amazing 2 spout espresso machine that uses real coffee grounds OR coffee pods, so depending on your degree of laziness that day you can opt to go all out with your own grounds or toss in a pod. It has a rapid steam function that can switch between brew and froth and can make pre measured single or double shots.
This machine is so great because of its versatility. I love that I can use my own grounds (from my favorite local spot) and practice my barista skills. I have finally perfected that oh so important crema.. when I first got the machine I relied completely on the machine to do it for me!
The machine itself is really solid and looks fantastic. I think the steam wand needs a little redesigning... it's super messy and spurts out all over no matter what I do.
All in all an amazing machine.

Watch out! This straightener gets really hot! Almost too hot to handle.... but not quite. i love it and am convinced it can straighten any head of hair under the sun... yes I am that confident!
It uses a blend of ceramic and tourmaline that means more negative ions - the name of the game with high end products. I don't know the science behind it, I just know that it's supposed to yield softer, smoother hair. It does ;)
Has a very comfortable grip which is important if you're dealing with a mess of hair, like I have. My hair is only mildly wavy but super thick and coarse, and there is a lot of it! This thing gets the job done in no time, though. it's got adjustable temp settings, from 225 - 410. But seriously - be careful when turning it up. The outside can get too hot so don't be burnin yourself now!

Chi's are the some of the best selling straighteners ever for a simple reason: they are some of the best in the world! This one is a beauty, and is my personal fave. It's 2" wide with 1.5" ceramic plates. And when I say ceramic plate, it's all ceramic, not ceramic PLATED like a lot of similar or knock off brands are. It heats to 150 -180 degrees in just 6- 10 seconds.... basically instant. It's shorter lightweight design makes it not only more maneuverable around the head but easier to take with you wherever you go.
My one strong word of advice is to buy this product in a salon (sorry amazon) because you only get the warranty if bought at a licensed salon!!!! Remember that! And enjoy chi'ing!

I love everything about this camcorder except holding it! It's just not comfortable! But it is one heck of a camera. Its high speed video processor and 6 megapixel stills capture some fantastic images. It has 5X optical zoom and a clear LCD screen. It uses MPEG-4 format to produce a high video quality, and of course it connects via USB, which can also be used to charge the camera.
I use it a lot to record my kids school performances, and the best feature for me is surprisingly the built in mic. It records some really clear audio that i just couldn't believe!

I like this camera because it is small, easy to navigate, and has waaaaay longer recoding time than most others in its class. It has a 30 GB hard drive so I can record every ridiculous second of my family vacation! This is a lot of memory, especially compared to the standard 4 GBs that come with most of these similar cams.
It has a 2.7" LCD screen and 32 X optical zoom. A very impressive feature (especially great for road trips) is the O.I.S. - Optical Image Stabilization. This is apparently way better than digital stabilization for some reason that I don't know. What I do know is that it really stabilizes my picture and I'm so happy with my results!
The one touch navigation makes filming easy and quick, and the fact that I can upload via USB is also easy and quick.
Filming people in high light without washing them out is possible with this thing, too, thanks to the soft skin mode - it softens the skin tones and makes them appear better on screen.
I probly wouldn't purchase this if i had a mac, because apparently they have a really hard time reading the files from this camera. Also, you have to buy Image mixer 3 to edit this stuff, and it doesn't come with the camera!

What a fantastic idea to can your fresh garden fruits! This would be perfect for you. It includes everything you need to can except a 12" pot for boiling water, a recipe book, and fresh fruits and veggies. Complete with jars, canning rack, funnels cheese cloth, and other essentials.
The only thing is that you have to buy a supplement or at least go online to get recipes because you want to do this right! Preserves are nice to have around or give as gifts.

I bought myself one of these at the beginning of last summer and couldn't be happier with it. It is fully automatic and can make 1.5 quarts of ice cream, no ice needed! Also comes with a special mixing paddle that you can use to make other desserts and drinks.
I came across some bad reviews on this thing when I was searching for the right ice cream maker that said they hated it because it doesn't make the ice cream cold at all. They said it just gets slushy. this is crazy and I don't think these people understood that you have to put the bucket in the freezer all night before you make it or it won't work. Or they were trying to make it outside in the middle od phoenix or something.
Works great for me, and ou can also make sorbet!

This is an amazing book! They describe it as a 'cultural study disguised as a cookbook' and that's exactly what is is. You will learn not only how to cook amazing mexican food, but the customs and history and culture that is behind it all.
The author spent a lot of time in Mexico's Oaxaca region (pronounced more or less like Wah-Hah-Kah) which is one of the most interesting and diverse cultural regions of the beautiful country. She brings this to life in her 354 pagegourmet cookbook. You will learn how to make some of the best food you've ever tasted within these pages, including by far the best guac I've ever had!
Included is a glossary of ingredients, so don't worry about familiarity.... you'll be able to figure everything out! I suggest this book very highly.

I thought i would offer this as a slightly different idea... you should still use waterprof bandaids, but this can add a nice added layer of protection. This stuff is really waterproof and can really perform in emergencies and (this is what I use it for) sports injuries, because it holds up nicely with sweat, too.

Made of kiln-dried asian fir, buy your dog this house and he'll be sleeping in more luxury than you! This is a gorgeous dog house for your backyard. It features a nice green roof and shutter style windows. I love it except for one big thing- there's no doggy door:( Oh well. It looks pretty! It almost like it was designed to be a storage shed rather than a dog house! But don't get me wrong, I love it and so does McCoy!

You should try these Odwalla super protein bars. My husband swears by these things... and has put on some muscle weight for sure. He eats one after he works out, as well as a tuna sandwich or something else proteinous.
These are nice because they're more natural than lots of other products, and you certainly don't need to be putting a bunch of nasty chemicals into your body after working all of them out!
They have 14 grams of soy and rice proteins and 14 other essential vitamins to rebuild. You should put healthy, natural products in your body when you work out! It's definitely the best way!

Aside from the silly, spiderman-esque shape, this is a great recreational goggle. It's definitely a step up from the crap you find at walmart, and I would definitely recommend staying away from that stuff from personal experience!
The big difference between something like this and a low quality goggle is the materials they are constructed from. The part that actually touches your face is made of liquid silicone, and forms a nice seal between the mask and my face. Also, the higher quality lens keeps it clear of fog and scratches on you underwater adventures!

These will cut through pennies! For real... I've seen it. I'm sure we've all seen the cutco demonstrations. Well, it worked on me, so I broke down and bought the hears. I have the same problem - it sucks when you need scissors and they're always dull and I don't know how to sharpen them!
I have to recommend buying them directly from a cutco rep, though, because you can get a lifetime guarantee, which means they will either sharpen yours or send you a new set for ever!!!! (maybe this website offers the guarantee as well... i don't know)

I feel so old fashioned for suggesting this, but I love these things. I've had something like this in one form or another for as long as I can remember, and use it almost every night when I'm watching tv or reading my book.
I don't really need to explain how to use it... just rub your feet up and down it however feels good to you. I think it feels so nice at the end of the day, and definitely removes some tension. my feet are kind of sensitive, so this is a nice alternative to the electronic massagers. This one has non-slip grips on the bottom, too, for use on hardwood floors. good luck with your foot pain!

This is a beastly 10 inch rain machine! I love this style shower head. In my humble opinion it's the only way to really enjoy a shower. It's really pretty polished chrome...looks great in my shower. Doesn't come with arm or anything, just the head.
Make sure you adjust the water flow and everything when you instal this thing. Just play around with it until you get a flow you can deal with, because your current showerhead is probably rigged completely different and you want this guy to be everything you hoped for and dreamed about!

I actually just bought this for similar reasons! I like the safety of a one piece.... so much less revealing, and just easy to be in all day. It's hard to find one that's comfortable and makes you feel good about yourself.
This is a great suit! I can wear it all day and feel like i look good the whole time. Strapless is a hot look, and you won't have to worry about those pesky tan lines!

You're gonna be so happy I suggested this to you. it's a personal air conditioning unit. ou can take ie anywhere in your house because it runs on batteries, or you can set it up on your desk and plug it in using the USB cable it comes with. Set it on your night stand to help you sleep at night, or your coffee table for a nie cool breeze as you watch tv!
This thing really does work. All you have to do is wet the sponge and turn it on for hours of cool air on your face! It does rattle a little when placed on a table, but you can take steps to avoid that like putting some kind of material under it or even a notebook In general it's very quiet, too. I am very happy with my purchase!

This is my favorite laundry detergent, and it's designed for high efficiency washers. It's called free and gentle because it has no dye or perfumes like most detergents do. Those stinky perfumes are a real turn off to me, as they tend to be so overwhelming. This is great for people with sensitive skin that still want some serious stain lifting power.

In my home office situation I really only need one drawer for filing, so this is absolutely perfect for me. The three drawers provide me with the extra storage I need in my small space home office area. And the beautiful finish doesn't hurt, either! It's a vibrant honey colored wood that is great to people more prone to light wood.

Be warned in advance that these are not cotton! They are microfiber but they feel like cotton and wow they are really soft. We bought some for the guest room to try them out mostly because they were reasonably priced. I haven't slept in it, but just laying on the bed is super cozy and soft! 1600 count is an incredibly high thread count, so it would have to be soft, no matter what it;s made of!

This is a collection of true cases that have been cold for years and reopened due to newly surfaced evidence or new technology that they didn't have at the time of the crime. I think it's a mix between FBI and police detective collaborations, but if you like FBI stuff you will definitely like this series! Like I said, it's all true stuff, which makes it that much more intense and chilling.
It's interesting to see these people who thought they got away with these terrible crimes out there living with the generally population, and finally getting snagged thanks to our incredibly sophisticated technologies. Great stuff!

American Apparel makes a really nice casual dress shirt. This oxford short sleeve is very attractive and high quality. Some short sleeves are tacky (you don't want to look like Dwight from the office!) but not this one! I think it that short sleeves are the way to go in these hot summer months because they are still professional looking but functional.

These definitely won't stop the need to over eat! But they are sure to satisfy your chocolate craving! These are ridiculously good.

This is a great pedometer that even works in your purse. It's very highly rated (i did my online research before purchasing!) and it's highly rated for a reason: it does it's job really simply and really well! It also has all the right features - it measures your steps, aerobic steps, minutes, calories burned, and distance covered.
The large display is easy to see and check your progress when you are on the go, and it has a week long history so you can track your progress week to week. Some people have problems with the hardware not communicating with their computer (you can download the data from your walk or run), but I don't really use that function so I don't know about it!

This is the ultimate ladies rod for fishing in style! I'm not super in to fishing, but my husband sure is, and I like to go with him sometimes because it's actually pretty enjoyable. Except the gutting part.
He got me this rod for my B day so I could join him in his fishing excursions. At first I was like "are you serious?" because that's usually the kind of thing I get for him, but I love it! It is super easy to use (it's a spincast design) and comes with a pre-spooled 10 lb line. Go get yourself a fish!

I don't know if you're gonna be in or around the Phoenix area, but surprisingly there are some gorgeous hikes around the valley! These are varying in difficulty for the beginner to the experienced hiker.
It also has lots of important safety information. If you're going to be there in September,it's important to realize that you are in a desert and it is extremely dry! A lot of people don't realize how dry it is and don't drink enough water on their hikes. A ridiculous amount of people get heat stroke and other heat related problems here! Just be careful.

This is what I bought for my sister after she went blonde over winter break. She has told me so many times that she loves it because it smells so good and the conditioner is really heavy. It reconstructs damaged hair.
I bought it for her based purely on smell, and apparently it worked. I'd say you can't really go wrong with Bed Head products... they have so many geared toward blondes!

Kiting is such a great summer activity! I'm so glad you asked about it because I just got into it with my daughter. Someone recommended this brand and type to me... It's a good beginner to intermediate trick kite. A trick kite isn't really any harder than any other kite, it just gives you the ability to do some cool stuff with it. This one has an 84" wingspan and a kevlar nose, for those first few big crashes you are sure to endure. It has a durable and light carbon frame, and is super easy to set up and start flying right away! This is a great summer hobby.

This is a beautiful hammock for couples. It's great for indoor and outdoor use (we actually have ours outside) but it just looks so beautiful and is really cozy. It's about 14' long, so measure first! Might be hard to find space for this in your house.

I loooove this flic! I think I like John C Reilly as much as Will Ferrel! Any movie they share the screen in I will watch and undoubtedly laugh my ass off. It's just a stupid story about a really stupid race car driver, and his trials and tribulations. Also has Sasha Baron Cohen from Borat!

Our new house has a 'game room' and we were trying to decide what sort of game to put in it. None of us are super into any one particular sport or game, so we thought this would be a good way to try out a couple of different games for one price. We are really happy with our purchase! The billard table, although not even close to full size, is really fun to play casual pool on, and my son and his friends play for hours on end. It comes with all the balls you need and 2 pool cues. When it's time for some air hockey, the table flips over with surprising ease and locks into place very solidly. The whole construction of the thing is very sturdy and quite attractive. The air hockey table also has everything you need to get playing right away, and the 110 volt motor kicks out a lot of air. You do have to assemble it, though. It wasn't too difficult as it's all pre drilled and stuff, but some of the pieces are heavy and awkward.

Something like this is super simple and easy, and great for zipping around college campuses. I bought my son one of these (although it might have been an E300) and he said he drove it everywhere. he does live in Illinois, so the campus is very flat. I think a hilly campus might be problematic... don't know. It's nice, though. It's very quiet, and goes up to 12 mph for about 45 minutes. This doesn't sound like much, but it's definitely enough to cruise around school. The only thing he doesn't like about it is that it takes like 12 hours to charge. That's kind of ridiculous, but I guess he just plugs it in every night. And of course the charger is included.

So I guess I'm the girl who brings the cheap, silly gift to the party, not the functional gift, but that's okay because every shower needs someone like me! This book is really silly and is full of completely ridiculous baby names... REAL baby names. It will add some humor and keep people entertained all night. I promise it's funny! Check it out!

This is a fantastic co-sleeper bed for your newborn. I had one of these for my first child and kept it for the second. It's so nice because it looks beautiful and fits right in to my bedroom decor. I love having her right next to me all night long. The wooden frame is very solid, and there are literally no moving parts or anything for her to put in her mouth. Also has adjustable legs for almost any bed height. I highly recommend this for any new parent!

I think any product similar to this would work pretty effectively. I used these last year for my fire ant infestation and it worked really well - the ants love the smell or something because they were all over it. You will have to clean up lots of ant carcasses, though! That's better than living ant if you ask me. Also, I think this product only works with certain ants... the type that seek proteinous foods. Make sure you know what type of ant you are trying to get rid of and buy the product geared toward that type!

I used to play this game all the time with my son... he loved it so much, and actually I did too! It makes the time fly by on long flights.

These work really well... they're obviously only for small enhancements, but they are made of real hair so you can wash, brush, and even blow dry and straighten them. They almost never fall out....except one time when I was on the lake all day!

Personally, I always think non-acetone remover is a better choice. Acetone can be very damaging to your nails and nailbeds, especially for someone like me who has particularly delicate nails. This stuff works really well and has aloe vera in it, making it not only harmless, but helpful!

This book seriously changed my life. I was in kind of a depression as my job wasn't going where I imagined it going, and I had some personal issues as well that were stressing me out. This book is all about focusing your energy on the beauty of this moment right now. It helps you stop worrying about future events that can be stressful or overwhelming (because worrying about those things doesn't help the situation, but rather makes it worse and is a huge waste of time), and rather focuses you inward to almost a place of meditation.... but it's more like inner stillness and peacefulness. Sounds out there, but it really helps. It's basic principle is that you can always deal with right now... just breath and pay attention to what's going on around you at every given moment, and be fully in the moment. Check it out!

This is the beautiful Summer Impressions Collection from Dr. Hauschka's little known but trusted line of beauty products. It's very easy to apply and stays put because of the natural waxes they put in it. The black tea infusion is wonderful for a number of reasons: it's a powerful antioxidant and astringent, has a skin toning agent, is pH balancing, and has absolutely no synthetic scents. The only drawback is the steep price tag. I think it's well worth it though... these natural ingredients are really gentle on your skin, which is important in the summer when you're catching all those harmful rays!

My husband is a contractor and needed something heavy duty like this. I bought it for him for father's day and he loves it. It's insulated really well and the lid locks shut. Uses it every day. It comes with the thermos, too.

This thing is almost unrecognizable as a paper towel dispenser... more like an alien spy or something. But believe me, its a dispenser. An expensive one at that! But it is really high quality and fancy. Makes a great housewarming gift.

Get you child off to the right start! It's been proven that listening to classical music at a young age will enhance your brain activity, making you a smarter person in general. This style of music is so intricately organized that it makes your brain operate at a higher level... just by listening!

These are beautifully scented candles, and the aromatherapy idea really works. If you need a moment to relax, just light these, close your eyes, breath deep, and clear your mind! I loooooove the lavender.

Thule makes some of the toughest equipment out there. This cargo bag rules! It's much easier to use than those bulky, plastic, pain in the you-know-what roof top luggage boxes. It's extremely water proof, and can be taken off and folded down when you're all done... saving you some gas!

This is a beautiful wristlet wallet/purse. It features so many inside pockets you could almost replace your purse with it! The leather is very high quality and super soft to the touch.

When in the market for a travel friendly laptop, a few necessities come to mind. It must be small, have a long battery life, be easy to use, durable, and easy to conceal/carry. say hello to the HP Mini! It is perfect for someone on the go. This guy is very small and lightweight, but durable. It can go up to 8.75 hours on a single battery charge! You only get 1GB of RAM, but that's usually par for the course with such a small computer. I love my mini, I take it with me everywhere. Oh yeah... and for this price you can totally replace it if you lose it in your travels!

This is a great beginner's boat. It's self bailing, so you're not encased or tied to anything... you just sit on top. It's really light and easily transportable, and all around user friendly. I wouldn't obviously recommend it for any intense, rough kayaking, but for the beginner this is a great value.

I think these are so cute and summer fashiony! Reminds me of strolling along a beach for some reason!

I'm an act fan as well... but I like this flavor better!

I really like this Kirkland brand coffee and I'm surprised you can get it online... I thought it was exclusive to Costco. It just has a really nice flavor to me!

I think in tests this thing ran for like 8 hours on one charge. Incredible. And with the 2.53ghz Intel core 2 duo 8700 processor, It's designed with the business traveller in mind. I bring it on all of my business trips and family vacations and it's awesome!

I hate wearing a ton of makeup too, and I've been using benetint as a blush/lip color for years. It gives you that rosy, I-inched-my-cheeks-so-I-don't-look-like-death color, without it looking cakey or fake. and BONUS! it lasts without re application ALL DAY!

This is my favorite smelling perfume of all time. It has a really light fragrance that's citrus-y and not too over-powering. A sample of Be Delicious was given to me one year in my stocking, and I loved it so much it's all I wear now!!

I like something simple like this. Just set it on your counter and fill it. No mounting required!

This stuff is great to keep around your house just in case. ou put it on right after you get burned and it soothes and moisturizes.

I used this on my kitchen and it whitened it up pretty nice! Not for deep cleaning, but a good after clean product.

Honestly, my first choice is always the Victorias Secret Miraculous push up bra, but I think that's a given! So besides the obvious, I really like this bra, too. It's one of the most comfortable push ups I've worn. It has adjustable back straps and it adds some serious cleavage to my otherwise flat chest!

French cooking is the best! My mom got this for me and its has amaaaazing french baked goods from real bakeries in France! highly recommended.

This is a nice beginner kit because it is actually a full size kit, not a 'junior' model like you see a lot of. It's pretty high quality and sounds good to me, although I'm no pro!

I don't know a specific product but I do know that some salons often offer a service where they'll apply some sort of lacquer
to your nails and it lasts for like two weeks... it's worth looking into!
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't mind spending the extra cash, treat yourself to a GHD. Used in salons around the world, it might be the best one money can buy! I like it because the ceramic plates heat up in under 15 seconds! For real! Awesome if I'm in a hurry... like every morning.

You need to find an extra $30 and buy this one! I also spin and I swear by this thing! It comes with a chest strap that has incredibly accurate readings and is very comfortable. It also can count how many calories you have burned, an essential part of my workout routine! Has two countdown timers and is water resistant up to 50 meters. I strongly suggest spending the extra money on this.

I love silly word play and that's why I got my daughter a Slumberjack! Oh yeah and it's also an affordable, quality sleeping bag that can be used for general camping purposes... although I wouldn't use it in serious weather conditions.

Hey if you're like me and enjoy simplicity, check out this desk. It is so simple and attractive, and its 'L' shape makes it very flexible for any room shape. Enough desk space for a computer, printer, speakers.... all the necessities.

I have the same situation: no pool. However, I do have a nice lawn in the backyard, so I found this slide/pool combo and it's just great. My kids spends hours splashing around in it! I think the water slides that don't have a pool at the end are kind of silly... who wants to slide onto grass? Gets all itchy and stains bathing suits. This is a very affordable option for you.

My boy likes the look of this style helmet. It's certified for both bike and skating safety, in case your child is in to different activities. Definitely not designed for high speeds or with aerodynamics in mind, but a very solid helmet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a little over your budget you can get this beautiful wooden play set. It has swings, a slide, a handle swing and a climbing wall. I know what you're thinking... wood doesn't hold up in bad weather! Don't worry, though, this thing comes with a 10 year wood rot warranty!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Okay if you're like me and still want to look cute on a bike, and are going for style more than speed, look no further! These are really fun helmets and you'll definitely see some people staring at you. I got mine for christmas... beware they are expensive and only sold in Japan, but they'll ship it here!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Way over your budget, but these are totally the best of the best

These are always cool! I got my daughter one for her dorm and she liked it a lot. It's got a nice gentle light.
|
|
|

This one is so stunning and so sleek I think it's from the future... send back in time to make sure I make it to all my appointments on time!

If it's your back that hurts, try this out. It's great for my lower back pain. It's ready to go in like 10 minutes and stays warm for I'd say 45 minutes to an hour. It's reusable and super easy to use - just click the little disc inside the unit. Oh and it's non-toxic.
REMEMBER - I do a lot of running and have learned this: usually you want to put ice on the stiff joints for at least a day or two first, and then switch to heat to relax them. This process really works for me.

My boyfriend just got this and ohhh man it rocks! It sounds and looks really great and is pretty easy to use. You get all access Pandora, too, which is my favorite part (i love finding new music!). The panel is really easy to navigate, which is nice when driving all alone... you can keep your eyes on the road! It even features full ipod control and an AM/FM/SAT tuner. The only neg is that there is no CD player. Most people don't mind this at all this day in age, but sometimes I want to throw on an old fav and listen... oh well. Not a deal breaker.

I love my Schwinn! This company has made a consistently great product for years and years. I owned my first one at age 15 and still have one today! They lightweight aluminum frame makes it easy to transport and store, and the 21 speeds make it easy to ride. A must have for the casual biker
