Michelle,
What about this little guy? Only $15, I don't think you'll find one much cheaper. But it's not just cheap, it's also rated well and reviewed favorably. From Hamilton Beach, it should be a tough little machine.
It's personal sized and doubles as a travel cup, so you can make your juice in the container, pop it off the blender and take it with you. Convenient, easy, effective.

This may be slightly on the expensive side, but if you need to shred a lot of paper (and want it done in a very secure manner), this would be an excellent choice. Does 15 sheets at a time (and can do that 150 - 200 times per day), and cuts 'em cross cut style, which is very secure. Basically makes confetti out of whatever you put in there, including credit cards, CDs, staples and paper clips.

This mouse tracks really well and does have that ergonomic design you are looking for. Good angles for your wrist and a little notch for each finger take a lot of the stress out of your hand, so you can game for hours.

Samsung makes excellent televisions.
This one has 1080p resolution, which is currently the best available. The unit has a cool sleek design. I trust Samsung with my Tv's, and have had great experiences with them. You should read the reviews on Amazon, lots of good things to say about it.
|

I think this would be your best bet as far as best all around monitor. I think there are probably monitors with a slightly better resolution, but none that also offer a quick 2ms response time and LED 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. So it's going to be good for everything from gaming to movie watching to general use. It will have beautiful, clear colors and a sharp display for you. Definitely a good choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's another good choice for you, a very good deal for the price! It has a 5ms response time which lends itself to gaming. It will give you 1440 x 900 resolution. Nice sleek design.
I like Acer for budget computing, as they tend to make a solid product for a reasonable price.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well Abby I think this is a great choice for you. Great monitor all the way around. You're gonna get a beautiful 27" widescreen display with 2 ms response time, 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, with full HD support.
It's going to be really fast, absolutely no ghosting. Also will have a very rich color spectrum. It has tons of audio and input options, and also can be calibrated and manipulated (color-wise) to a highly customized degree.
|
|
|
|
|

You can pick up one of these for under $1500 right now.... and this is a great television!
55-Inch, 1080p, 3D Plasma HDTV... all good stuff.
Of course to watch 3D you also need 3D content and a 3D source of some sort.
But I think this is one of the best in your price range. It is plasma, so I hope you're cool with that. It's a very sleek looking unit all by itself, and the image should be spectacular.

These are excellent for running especially. Sennheiser would also be one of the best brands for this type thing, so I am sorry to hear that they keep breaking on you.
So these Philips might not be the most durable headphones ever, but they are light and thin, so durability is relative. Treat them well and they should last awhile. They are completely sweat/water proof so you can even wash them out under running water if you wish.
Sound quality will be pretty great, considering they are from Philips. Since you are concerned with sound quality I would recommend going with a brand that is synonymous with audio equipment, (Philips & Sennheiser for example) rather than a company that is better known for their active gear (like Nike or something), because they just don't offer competitive products in terms of sound quality.

|
|
|
There are some on here... maybe not exactly what you're looking for
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything they make is great! The headphones, the fit, the mic, it will all be solid. They have sort of a slight build so they are light and portable. They offer a standard model (just the headphones) and a mic model, so if you do go with these make sure you select the correct one!
I don't see how anyone could be disappointed with these.... they will be excellent to you!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check these out! Okay so they don't have an ear hook exactly, but they have a similar ear fin... it has the same function as the ear hook in that it holds them in place.
Honestly, I had one hell of a time finding an earhook set that looked decent. These look fantastic. And they are from an excellent company. Being sweat proof helps with the durability issue. Also has Smart remote with microphone.
The should be a solid headphone for you!
|
|
|
|
|
|
So I'm thinking these might be a fun choice for you. They are wireless bluetooth headphones with a built in mic, so you can use them just to listen to music or as a phone headset. The mic is hidden within the headset, so you don't have anything sticking out in front of your face.
The fact that they're bluetooth and have a mic built in is pretty cool and makes them super versatile. All the button and controls are right on the headset. Look into it! These are cool!
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think these look like great earbuds. They look really different and cool, and being from Sony you can be sure it's a good product. From reviews, they deliver tight, accurate sound, not big and boomy. They have 13mm drivers, gold plated plugs, and an unorthodox design. Designed for comfort and sound, these will be good to you!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't know... are you looking for something like this or more like a gaming headset? These would be good for phone use and also listening to music.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do you mean headset as in something with a mic on it? This would be a good choice. It has an in-line mic and remote, and the hooks are a soft rubber...well designed for comfort. Has a 24k gold plated plug to ensure the highest quality audio transfer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is going to be a great product for you. Fabulous turntables, good company. At $300 it will leave some room to buy some other gear as well.
It has USB and S/PDIF outputs, also comes with software for transferring and editing music.
|

You could look into a Dell Latitude. These are known for being rather tough. Some even say they're "built like tanks" so that might reassure you. It's built for travel and taking a beating.
The specs are pretty good, and it should be great for general, low intensity use. Not a super high performance machine, but you shouldn't expect that anyways at this price point. Check out the link for performance specs.

Some people aren't into the whole shuffle thing, and understandably so. But I have a shuffle and I really like it. I switch out the songs every week or two, which is super easy and fast. I usually listen to my music on shuffle anyways because I like the variety, so it really doesn't bother me. I really like how tiny it is...excellent for jogging and portability in general. It's under 450 and has great reliability and sound quality. I think it's a worthy replacement!

For about twice the price of the 6770 you could get the 6870.... so bomb! Recommended on Tom's hardware, which is a pretty reliable source. Either one of these cards will be good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well.... I would recommend this one, Joseph. It's $30, but I figure you can probably handle that!
It's on the small side, but it's a great little mouse and it gets real good reviews. It has 3 levels of dpi settings: 500, 1000, and 2000. It also has 6 buttons and a scroll wheel, and a soft feel to it. Cool mouse, perfect for your budget.

I totally get that building one is cheaper, more custom, and you will get more bang for your buck. But, if you're like me and don't really have the time or patience to build your own, you should look into something like this. It has some amazing specs going on inside, and even leaves some room in your budget for a nice monitor.
Intel Core i5-2500 (3.3 GHz) processor
1GB AMD Radeon HD 6850 video card
8GB DDR3-1333 RAM
1.5TB 7200 RPM hard drive
It's a beast!
|
|
|
|
|

T.J.'s advice is good... that Viera looks like a nice set up. I would also recommend this one here. I like this option because the Internet interface is really easy to navigate, and the menus are intuitive. It is internet ready, and once set up it will give you access to Netflix, Pandora, Twitter, facebook, You tube, etc.
Not only is it internet ready, it's also 3D capable and THX certified. The image quality will be unstoppable.

Might want to look into this Samsung. It has some nice gamer-geared features, like "game mode" which pre-sets the TV for optimal gaming settings, giving you the fastest response time. It also has a fast refresh rate of 120Hz so blur won't be an issue.
hThis is just a solid TV any way you slice it. 1080p res, 4 HDMI inputs, energy star rated, and gaming console connectivity.
The fact that it even has game mode is pretty cool, and means they had gamers in mind when they built the thing, so you know it will perform for you like you want it to.

Try Rhymie Stymie! Sounds silly.. well guess it is, but it's a fun game that actually makes you think a little bit.
Here's how it works: they give you a clue such as "Bath Food" and you have to think of two words that rhyme that mean "Bath Food." In this case, the answer is "Tub Grub." Get it?
Fun and silly.

I don't know if you're into running or not, but if you are you should check out RunKeeper Pro. Awesome app for keeping track of your progress. It tracks your runs via GPS on a map, whilst also logging your mileage, calories burned, time spent running, along with other stats. That gathered data is synchronized with RunKeeper's servers, so you can track your progress, set goals, and view your overall running stats. I love it! But then again, I love running!

I like 'Around Me'. Don't know if works internationally though.
It just shows you what businesses are around you, like restaurants, hotels, gas stations, grocery stores... anything. A very useful tool!

I think this Asus would be capable. Pretty solid specifications on this guy:
Intel Core i7-2670QM 2.2 GHz
6GB DDR3 DIMM upgradable to 16GB
500 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
You can definitely run your editing software on it. It should do a great job with any music/media/entertainment needs, especially if you upgrade that RAM.

Well when I think school I think about taking notes and typing papers, so I would suggest a tablet that has a real keyboard attached. This one doesn't come with the keyboard, but if you purchase it it attaches right onto the tablet, making it basically a laptop. Super cool stuff. It's seriously a laptop with a detachable screen.
It has a nice wide screen and a beautiful display, and is quite capable of some serious performance. (FAST! and has some decent memory)
It's a good size but isn't too bulky or heavy. The droid app community is pretty huge, so finding the right apps for you won't be a problem. It also gets very good battery life, so you can take it to class all day and it will keep going strong.
|

I want to mention first that I think Christian's suggestion of the Eee Pad is a good one, too. I think as a business tablet you need something that is pretty powerful, definitely portable, and I think a real keyboard is very important because you will probably be doing a lot of typing/emailing/writing and the touchscreen keypad is just not the same.
This tablet is super cool! The screen rotates 180 degrees, so it can be either a tablet or a laptop, without adding any extra accessories. ( you should check out the link because it's pretty cool) This, of course, adds to its weight a little bit, but at under 3 lbs weight will not be an issue. It's like a touchscreen laptop! The only issue with this thing is battery life is mediocre at best, at around 4 hours. C'mon, Lenovo :(
Under the hood, it actually has some impressive specs:
Intel Atom N455, 1.66 GHz
1 GB DDR3 667 MHz RAM (2GB max)
250 GB hard drive, 5400 RPM
10.1" display
Good stuff, sorry if battery life is a deal breaker. Most places have outlets, though. Great machine though, and I think you will find it very useful for your business needs.

Fire is an awesome budget tablet to consider. It has a lot of really cool features and access to seemingly unlimited online content. It has a very crisp display and its dual core processor is very fast. It's small and light, and extremely portable, with a good battery life.
The thing you won't be able to do with Fire is create content. It is 100% for consumption of online media, and for that it is fantastic. Be it books, music, tv shows, magazines or movies, you can access them all in full color. You can watch Netflix too, if that's your thing. You can also browse the internet. But you won't get to use Facebook, Twitter or other social sites like that.
A couple other things to consider with Fire (things that make it available for so cheap, and why it's not on par with iPad or other tablets): no camera, no microphone, no GPS, no HDMI, and once again, can't create content, only consume. You just have to know what you are getting, because for certain things the Fire is spectacular, but for others it's not quite up to par. Think about what you want t be able to do with it before you buy it!

I mean this will be good for non-graphics intensive games.... but you can't expect too much for under $500! (unless you build it yourself!) decent specs.... RAM is ugradable to 4GB.
|

I am a big iPad fan, and honestly think that for general purposes it is the best tablet on the market. I think the price is very reasonable and all the specs and options you get along with it makes it pretty much an unbeatable product. It's fast, the screen is just the right size, screen sensitivity is good, image resolution is excellent, and the app store is enormous (and growing every day). The large app selection is important because as a tablet, most of its use comes out of your apps, so you want a good selection.
In some ways it's limited, of course, because it's not a computer. It's a tablet. Things like typing can get annoying (unless you buy a keyboard, which is cheap and easy), and you know, the screen isn't huge, but you have to know what you are indeed purchasing when you buy a tablet.... it's really for portability and convenience, not for heavy workloads. yes, it is extremely light and portable, and has incredible battery life. They claim up to 11 hours but that is always an exaggeration!
Add to all of this an incredibly reliable brand that totally backs up their products and you have yourself one hell of a tablet.

Go with Canon...one of the most trusted names in the biz.
If nothing else, this thing allows for "Portrait Mode", which will set a large aperture, focusing on your subject and slightly blurring the background. This is usually the sort of thing you want with portraits because it makes your subject really pop out. I like this option because it has Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor, which they also use in some of their DSLR's. It also will give you 12 MP and 14x wide angle optical zoom. This will get you some decent shots! As long as you know what you're doing!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, at this price range (and with point and shoot cameras in general) you won't be getting very good low light shots, because the sensor simply is not big enough to handle the higher ISO settings needed to shoot in low light. To get a great low light camera you will have to up your budget considerably and probably find yourself a good DSLR...but there are ways around that. Namely, a flash. It will be easy to add a flash to this camera and light up the room that way.
Light aside, the reason I suggest this camera is the 35x optical zoom lens (with a focal length of 4.3-150.5mm) that allows you to shoot just about any scene from wide-angle to telephoto. In this case, the wide angle will be especially useful. With interior spaces it's important to maximize the potential and make the space look as large as possible. A nice wide angle lens will help with that. If you don't have a wide angle lens you may feel a bit constrained by the viewing angle.
14.1 mp will get you some high quality shots, and the camera couldn't really be easier to use... if you want, just set it to the 'Interior' setting and let it figure out the rest on its own!!

Here's a very simple keyboard that I have that is compatible with mac and pc.
I don't have a ton to say about it other than it works just like a keyboard should!
Very sleek design. It feels good to type on!

This looks like it would be a great option for you.
I have a Brother all-in-one inkjet (the one that's under $100) and it's awesome. It was quick to set up the wireless, which was a key component in my purchase, and I am sure working in an office it would be important to you too.
Color, wireless, laser, multi function. This is a good bet for you, Frank, assuming it's in your price range.

For just a couple dollars over budget you should treat yourself to this Logitech optical mouse. Awesome for stuff like Warcraft, Call of Duty and Crysis.
It's comfortable, moves well, works perfectly. Just a great mouse for gaming. Period.

I think Gore Tex would be a good way to go. They make some nice lightweight, thin gloves that are water proof and warm. Obviously thinner material means less insulation, but these should keep you fairly warm, and, more importantly, dry.

This is pretty much the same thing as Destinee suggested except for this one attaches to your counter top via suction. I prefer this method because I think it's easier to position it, but it does the same exact thing.

I would actually recommend this pedal before the Dunlap Wah. I'm sure many people would absolutely disagree with me on that.
I like this one better because it definitely offers a wider range of sounds, like I can pull more tones out of it.
The Dunlap wah does have a nice sound but it's certainly not as versatile as the Behringer. In general, Behringer makes excellent musical equipment.
In my opinion this is a steal, and I say go for it! You will love it.

I think this would be another cool option for you. I like it aesthetically and size-wise. In the picture they have it mounted directly on the back of the monitor, which is a pretty cool idea.
It comes with no OS, so you can decide what you want to use. This may be a good feature or a drawback, depending on what you are looking for.
But it's got plenty of connectivity, has an spdif output, will stream 1080p, and requires very little power to operate. Nice little computer if you ask me.

I've been using this top load burner with my mac and let me tell you, it's a great little product!
Like lots of mac owners, I've found the cd drive sort of sucks so I took it upon myself to find a cheap alternative. This one is great! It works, it's cheap, what else could I ask for?
I like the top load design because I don't have to worry about disks getting stuck in there like I used to. Also, it really is super simple. My macbook recognized it immediately, and I was up and running in no time.
One thing to mention is the included USB is very short, and for some reason they warn against using a longer cord because it may affect the performance... ???? I don't get it. This isn't a problem for me, but depending on your setup it might be annoyingly in the way.
Great burner, especially for the price!

I guess it depends on the size you need, but I have gotten some good use out of this 80 incher.
I have the Viewsonic projector to go with it, and they pair nicely.
It's very versatile because it is of course height adjustable and it's also width adjustable.
It packs up quite small, into itself and actually becomes its own carrying case, and set-up/take-down is very easy indeed.
It's also tough enough for some travel, as I have noticed. Highly recommended.

Wowy this is a tough question, especially when you consider all the different models available of each brand.... I mean there's the Amazon Kindle with wi-fi, Kindle with 3G + wi-fi, Kindle DX, Barnes & Noble Nook with wi-fi, Nook 3G + wi-fi, and finally Nook Color. Lots of options!!!
Take careful consideration of what exactly you want out of your reader. Is wi-fi enough for you, or do you need 3G coverage as well? How accesible do you want your material to be? Also, is a color screen important to you? Color is nice, but it's also harder on the eyes and of course shortens battery life. E-ink (the monochrome option) looks a lot like printed ink on paper, which you won't get with a color version.
Agggggg so many decisions to make.... in the meantime, here's another little article that might help you make a well informed decision:

If you want a REAL soundbar......
Okay so this is a very expensive unit but absolutely worth it, if you want some exceptional audio. Really, exceptional. I have a pretty large living room and despise clutter, which led me to the soundbar option. This thing completely fills up my living room with big, beautiful sound, and takes up hardly any room, which I really like.
I guess it's a bit tall... I don't know if it's technically a soundbar or not, but it does the same thing.
Worth the price if you ask me.

I have one of these and I have to say it works well...almost too well!
You won't want to keep it on the whole time because it does indeed work in 4 ways, and you can only see it from directly infront... in fact it makes the screen almost too dark, even with the screen brightness turned all the way up. So yes, it works well.
So I use the screen for airplane trips or coffeeshops and the like, and for that it's great!

Asus makes a great monitor. I would look into this one. Slightly over your price point, but well worth the extra $20 or so dollars if you ask me. With this monitor you will be able to tweak the settings to replicate the type of image you would find on a monitor twice the price. They are very nice. 1080p-the picture will be sharp and response time on games will be quick.... fast refresh rate and quick response time (2 ms).
Unfortunately it's not LED backlit, but picture quality won't suffer as a result of this, it just won't be as energy efficient.

Well Angela you could try this book...ha ha I bought it for my brother, who is always in financial CRISIS for some reason. Thought it would help.... also kind of a joke. But he actually read it and said it was pretty interesting, although a lot of it was very simple, common sense stuff.
But he said he got some good ideas from the book, and also that it made him more aware in general of where his money was going, which is pretty important.
Worth a look!

If you want a really nice amp you should check out the Fender Pro Junior Combo. It's small but impressive sounding... like you could use it on stage for a performance. As far as guitars go, I would have to suggest the Yamaha Gigmaker because that's what I started on, and I think it's a good electric.
|

This is a good one, for a price that I consider not 'too outrageous' but ultimately that is your call!
Well it's an LED projector, which means it's easier to use and maintain but not as bright as a standard DLP. But this does not interfere with its usability... you can still see the image, even in a sunlit room (although clarity is of course less than it would be in a dark room).
LED, though not super bright (in fact, this model only throws 200 lumens), makes for a very clear picture, with exceptionally vivid colors. Very impressive in that regard, especially in a dark room where you can really see its magic.
Also, big selling point here, the bulb is supposed to last 30,000 hours. Save big on replacement costs. It runs pretty quietly (although there is some fan noise) and over all it's excellent for casual movie watching.

If you are mostly interested in speakers for watching TV shows, I would definitely recommend not spending more than about 20, 30 bucks. For TV shows you don't need extreme clarity of sound.... mostly you need something that will give you some clear vocal audio and sound effects. These are what I have and they are great for TV and movies on my computer. Everything is clear but not overly loud. Anything by logitech would be a good option.

THESE KOSS PHONES IN A NUTSHELL:
Pros: Cheap! comfortable, fold up for travel, sound quality is pretty darn good, cheap!, person on other end will hear you well
Cons: cheap! not all that durable, might fall apart if you don't take care of it, no volume control on headset, doesn't get super loud.
The verdict? This is an awesome headset for the price. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Get some.

I would definitely recommend this thermostat. Honeywell makes excellent products for this type thing.
This is a touchscreen thermostat that is programmable for a whole week. It's really cool because you can actually take it off the wall to program it.... very convenient.
Touchscreen is also a nice feature, although one complaint is that in a dark room there is no 'backlight on' button, so to make the screen light up you have to actually push one of the buttons. This can be annoying, but not if you get in the habit of turning on a light before you attempt to set your thermostat!
It has a very clear display and intuitive controls.
It is compatible with heating and cooling systems.

Hi Abby, I just wanted to suggest an alternative for you. Depending on how much you use your printer and what you use it for, laser might be a better way to go. The initial investment is greater, but it is much cheaper to operate a laser printer, especially if you are printing off lots of documents, and it will pay for itself in a year or two, depending on how often you use it. Ink cartridges are SO expensive! While the inkjet printer itself might be cheaper initially, the cartridges quickly add up to hundreds and hundreds of dollars, again depending on how much you use it.
Obviously laser printers aren't ideal for printing pictures, because they are generally much lower quality. But for documents, definitely look into laser!

I would say this is about perfect for you, Shelly. I have one of these for my infrequent home office printing/scanning/copying, and it has never let m down.
I don't think it's really designed for a high volume of printing, but for school work it should be just about perfect. I think you will appreciate having a scanner and copier as well as a printer....versatility is always nice.
It's only about $70 so if someone breaks it or steals it it's no big deal!

I would have to recommend this Western Digital because they are just excellent hard drives. Now, keep in mind it is compatible with macs, but it will have to be reformatted, the process of which I don't know.
But these are really fast, and 750GB is pretty darn big. I think you will be very happy with the speed and portability of this little unit.

Check out this deal - you get a $15 discount post purchase, making this card only about $30. It's a great starter video card.... meaning it will improve your display, but isn't for serious gaming. But for the money, this is about as good a deal you will find, as far as I'm aware of.

I use this one.... bought it right here on Amazon.
First of all, I love it.
Secondly, love it.
It's pretty heavy, which I like. It's thick and durable. I guess I wouldn't say it's a high grade leather, but it is well made and tough enough for just about anything I've thrown at it.
I think it is very attractive all the way around, and a great choice for any guy who needs a cool, rugged bag!

The LG and Samsung are good brands.... I would also recommend Maytag, GE, and Whirlpool. They all make energy star certified stackable washer/dryers. Front loading washers are good for the environment because they generally use less water and also less energy. They are a bit pricey though, and also usually can only handle smaller loads.

This looks like a good one, Celly. It says it will print barcodes, shipping labels, name tags, all that good stuff.
I recommend this one in particular just because I am familiar with the brand, and I know they are trusted in the label making industry!

This is obviously more than just a laptop bag, but it seems like if you are going to be rolling something you might as well have the option of packing it full of everything you need, especially because you will probably be travelling places with it. Might as well have a bag that can not only fit your laptop, but also books, documents, chargers, and anything else you may need for a presentation or to keep you entertained while you travel.
It's a really cool design that enables you to disconnect the bag from the wheeled base should you need to carry, instead of wheel your bag (possibly due to inclement weather or whatever).
It has a nice leather finish and is available in some great colors. Check it out!

I don't carry a concealed weapon but my dad sure does and this is what he usually carries.
He likes it for its small size and comfortable grip (I've held it, it is light and comfortable). It's very reliable, and is actually a common side arm for law enforcement I believe.

This is a real workhorse, Cody. We started using this printer in my small office a few months ago, after some extensive online research made it clear that this was the best printer for the money.
It prints beautiful graphics at 2400 x 600 dpi resolution right around 30ppm. It can be easily connected to your network wirelessly.
One of the key selling points for us was that the toner replacements are easily cheaper than HP, Canon OR Lexmark..... SOLD!
The only neg I have for you right now is that it's a bit loud. Not overwhelmingly so, but if you work in a very quiet environment it might be too much.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would recommend this one. I think it's the best card for the price... you shouldn't need to spend more than $150 on a graphics card, as far as I'm concerned.
It's basically a plug 'n play type deal, but it does take a power supply of at least 450w... so be ready for it!

I use this guy every day on my way to work and at work. It rocks!
Rugged and well built. I work construction so I need something that can take a beating now and again. This thermos sure can!
It has thick stainless steel walls and a vacuum sealed insulating layer. I like that is has a handle, just for convenience sake.

This bean bag is great for dorm rooms or kids. It's a little small, so it's not ideal for lounging for hours on end, but like I said in a dorm room it makes a perfect extra chair.
Another reason it's great for dorm rooms (or little kids, for that matter) is that it is constructed of a fairly heavy duty vinyle, so it won't rip and it's easy to wipe clean.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would say if you're going to get an air compressor, you may as well get one that really kicks, and is capable of doing some medium duty construction work for you.
I've used this compressor with my nail gun for roofing and framing... although it was always for pretty small jobs. I wouldn't recommend it for any large projects because the small tank size means lots of refills. It has the power to drive the nails in no problem, but will constantly be refilling if you over use it.
Also great for filling up tires and stuff, with the right attachments

This is a really nice set, although slightly misleading in the description. They describe it as 'wrought iron design' so I knew it wouldn't be real wrought iron, and so I wasn't disappointed with it. It looks like iron and is decently durable, though probably wouldn't survive outside in the winter, if you have nasty weather.
It looks wonderful in my backyard garden though, and durability has not been an issue in the mild climate in which I reside.

This is an amazing deal if you only need to shred paper. Contrary to their description, it does not handle CDs or credit cards very well at all. That doesn't bother me, though. I never need to shred those things. Only paper.
The only reason I know it doesn't shred CDs is because I wanted to see for myself if it really could... it kind of breaks them apart but definitely doesn't shred them!

This is really cool for Halo fans like myself. Comes with two guns and two targets. Range is pretty good, accuracy is also good. Laser battles round my house are intense and super fun.

I have a pair of these. They are completely waterproof and completely comfortable, too! Shearling insides, rubber out sides.
I like the way they look. Maybe it's not high fashion, but they are fashionable to an extent... they had fashion when they designed it.

This is perfect fo the up and coming spy!
This little listening device is totally fun and actually works quite well. It sort of makes everything louder.... amplifies everything it picks up.
I don't use it for spying but I could! It's pretty powerful and you could probably pick up conversations across the street and stuff.
I use it for listening for birds....works for me!

Oh yeah this might help a little bit, too. I have one of these and while it doesn't greatly improve my posture, it does relieve a lot of the lower back pain I have that is brought on by sitting at my desk all day every day.

These are absolutely the best binocs at under $100.
Crystal clear lenses, easy and quick focusing, durable build. Medium sized design makes them easy to take around with you. The focusing is what sets these apart from other sets I've used. Very easy and quick.

I like this grater! I think the bottom attachment is particularly useful, not really for measuring but just as a place to catch my freshly grated cheese.
The grip is highly grippable, too. Makes for an easier shredding experience.

A good old fashioned Manhattan would be at the top of my list. For a real one you will want some rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, vermouth and bitters. Some marchino cherries will add a nice garnish.
This is a truly delicious cocktail, and classy to boot.

This pack would be a good option for you, Mario. My sister recently purchased it for her baby, and she seems to be quite satisfied with it.
I thought of this pack when you mentioned you have a bad back, because I know that the reason she likes the pack so much is because it has the hip strap, which puts almost all the weight of the bag onto your hips. Almost no weight is left for your back, except the shoulder straps to keep the backpack from tipping over backwards.
It also has a cool little rain visor that you can zip on in case the weather turns sour!

I would say these are the very best headphones I've ever bought. At just around 50 bucks, I can't ever justify spending more than that on some headphones. They sound so good.
They are light and feel comfortable on my head. Equally full sounds from bass to treble.
The one annoying thing I should point out is the cord is a little short... which can be annoying in some circumstances but not enough to ruin these phones!

This is the ultimate toaster, none shall surpass it. it's almost as technologically advanced as my old cell phone. Push button toasting gives you the ultimate control as to temp. and how long it's down... just push a button and watch the bread slip down into the toasting crevice. Also has 'lift and look' technology, so you can easily check on your toast's progress.
Simply the most technologically advanced toaster you will ever find or need! Perfect every time!
I would like to offer a toast to this toaster.

This unit really and truly sounds great and is incredibly easy to use. I love it, except for one annoying thing - there's no headphones jack! Come on Memorex! I need a headphone jack! Besides that, it's nearly perfect, and the sound especially is what impressed me.
If you don't care about a headphone jack, I definitely suggest it.

Any sort of exercise regimen you can come up with will benefit you in the winter. Try sit ups and push ups, alternate with dips and crunches. Lunges are good for the legs and can usually be done inside. I have the Perfect Pushup handles and they work incredibly well. Yoga is a great wintertime activity!

I have a couple tips for you..... a couple things I've picked up over the years, trying to save pennies.
First of all, the things Candice and Frank suggested are great. In addition, you should see what temperature your water heater is at and maybe turn it down to about 125. Another thing to keep in mind is to check your furnace filters. A clean one will run more efficiently and will be cheaper to operate. One more thing is to turn it down when you leave - not off - just down. Maybe to about 62.

Hi Brad, I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I run quite a bit, and I have a couple of ideas as to what might be going on.
It could be your shoes. If you haven't bought shoes recently, they might be the culprit. Old running shoes lose their impact absorbing abilities quite substantially as they get used a lot, so even if you shoes aren't very old, it's still possible they are not performing how they used to. Running is very high impact, especially for your knees. Good equipment is definitely key.
Another issue could be the terrain you run on. If you only run on flat surfaces you will build up substantially more hamstring muscle than quadricep. This is bad! It wil sort of pull your knee out of whack (I'm not a doctor but I have heard this happens!) So to remedy this I would recommend doing some lunges, or whatever quad exercise you prefer.
Good luck... I hope this helps. It's very frustrating when your body won't cooperate!

Hey Mathew.... this is the armband I use and I would definitely recommend it.
It fits my iPhone 4 perfectly. It is adjustable for a wide range of arm sizes. It doesn't move around at all when I run, and most importantly I can easily use the touchscreen through the protective plastic covering.
The only thing to consider that you may not like is that it's not waterproof, and I have noticed a little sweat buildup between the phone and my arm. But not enough to hurt the phone or anything, and certainly not enough to deter me from suggesting this product.
It works well and I think you will be very happy with it.

This is an awesome, fashionable hat. I get multiple compliments on it every time I wear it.
It is fantastic looking and exceptionally warm. I needed a winter hat that I could wear to work and not look silly in. This is perfect! There is no ball hanging off the top, no silly face flaps on the side.
Really nice quality and build.

Seems like a nice tablet, from what I've seen of it, although I don't own one! Small and light but powerful. Quite inexpensive, too.
I know its gingerbread operating system is quite advanced and it is a powerhouse for multi tasking.
I think it's upgradeable to 32 GB which is decent (especially considering its size).
Two things I like about it is the battery life and the touch sensitivity. You can get like 8 or 9 hours out of it, and the touch screen is very sensitive, in all the right ways.

I love my Chromebook! Great product. With the 3G service I can still work in my car.... Amazing. That's why I bought it.
It's easy to use and a beautiful design.
Very bright, clear display. This little netbook rocks and I am extremely satisfied with my results!

Thule is good too! I prefer this Yamika though for its size and durability. I actually used to have a Thule 680 and it was awesome but I needed more length so i could fit my skis in it, too.
This thing is awesome! It's long enough for skis and snowboards. It should fit on any factory crossbars (especially on a volvo) and comes with mounting hardware to help you attach it easily.
It's definitely a two man job to get it up there successfully, only because it is so long and awkward.
The best features of the Yamika SkyBox are A) it is entirely waterproof (at least as far as I can tell thus far)
and B) it opens on the side, which is a key part of the design. It makes getting in the box extremely easy. It also makes it more durable, in that it doesn't open in the front so there's no worries about wind resistance ruining the seal by opening it up.
A great cargo box!

These are the best headphones in the world.
If you don't believe me, ask headphones.com! Or ask anyone who has eer tried them.You simply won't find a headphone that has better sound clarity.
Beautiful.
You will hear things you've never even heard before.
Keep in mind, this is an 'audiophile' headphone. Not a noise canceling type. So it's not designed for plane use. In fact it would be terrible because it's just not designed to block sound. It's designed to create amazing sounds, and that it does.

I don't quite know if this would be the right size for your mini but I do suggest this case very highly, and I think the company makes them in different sizes.
It is an ideal case because it has a fairly rigid shell and memory foam insides, so it no only protects but actually forms to your hard drive.
Works great for me.

for under $100 this is an excellent bike.
it makes my 7 mile each way commute every day seem a lot less daunting, especially at the end of the day when I am both physically and mentally worn out.
goes about14, 15 mph with me on it. I charge it every night, and since i bought it at the beginning of the summer it hasn't quit or failed me at all.
of course it has pedals, too so you can totally help out and pedal if you want to.
I think it'a great product and I am very happy with it.
100% electric.... no gas required. that makes it very economical, not to mention fun.

Hey man you should give these a try. I work 50, 60 hours weeks and sometimes I just feel worn out, like my brain is tired and doesn't want to do anything anymore! I bought these because someone recommended them to me, and they are reasonably priced.
I have been pleasantly surprised! I've been taking them now for about 4 months and have to admit I do feel a difference and my brain certainly has more 'activity' going on. I feel like it should be called 'brain food' or something. It seems to stimulate brain activity and help me focus more due to the higher activity....
I'm no expert but I am a satisfied customer who says it works for me!!

This is a pretty good read on George Washington... it's one of many books in "The American Presidents' series.
It's sort of a general overview of his life and presidency, and has a lot of interesting facts, stories and discussions about our nation's first president. It's well written and researched, and I learned a lot of neat stuff.
Something I didn't like about it is that it wasn't particularly interesting or different compared to other writings I've read on president Washington. It wasn't bad or boring, but it lacked passion and deep insight. It doesn't dig very deep into his mind or motives or anything.
But it does present a lot of facts and is historically accurate, and for that I am thankful.

Melatonin is a fantastic way for kids and adults alike to calm down and get some shut eye. It's an all natural supplement, and melatonin occurs naturally in the body, so you're really not putting anything foreign into your child's body.
They recommend you take between 1 and 6 tablets per night for a full size adult, depending on your specific wants and needs. I take 2 and I'm pretty much out... sometimes I'll take 3 if I'm a little wound up.
For your son I would suggest only one to get started. See how that plays out and add more if needed.
You should definitely stay with natural supplements at the young age of 12, so melatonin is a great option for your son.
Completely non-habit forming, too.

This really helped me out when I twisted my knee wrong. Helped me stay mobile at least. It provides enough support to relieve some serious knee pain.
The material doesn't rough up my leg at all and it doesn't allow for bacteria growth , which really helps to battle stinky brace syndrome.

These are awesome for larger vehicles/SUV's because you need the extra weight to get the grip needed for the to be successful.
What drew me to them in the first place was the installation process. You don't have move your vehicle! Ingenious. It's a little bit tricky, but once you figure out the proper technique it's pretty easy. I'm not going to go into detail because it's a complicated process.... you can read the directions on your own! But I will say make sure you have them right side up! Because that's what threw me the first time.

Hey I think this is a pretty cool organizer. It has those hanging folders. An there's tons of room for tons of papers in there. I think it's a good choice because it looks nice and hides your personal documents. Some of those plastic organizers looks cheap and awful, and you don't to have to look at it all the time. This actually makes nice addition to your room... or you can put it in your closet if you like....whatever works for you!

This is the Civil War Book of Civil War Books! Expertly researched and written and presented in a very well put together, educated mannor. The author describes the events leading up to, during, and after the war with a sensitivity about it that presents the material in a completely objective and interesting way.
VERY well written and exciting from start to finish. A must read for accurate Civil War facts and tales.

This is a beautiful laptop messenger bag/briefcase. I like anything that is both functional and attractive, and this definitely fits the bill. The brown leather is formal enough for business but it can also be strapped across your shoulder with the shoulder strap and you can hop on your bike and ride home. Functionality meets style.
There is plenty of room for a laptop and all your important documents as well as a pen organizer.
The flap has a double buckle strap system so nothing will ever fall out. I think you will like it!

It's a good idea to use a cold compress on any swollen glands. Mumps can make glands especially around your face swell. use the compress 3 - 4 times daily, for 20 - 30 minutes each time. Make sure your child gets lots of rest, and most importantly, see a doctor.... as I'm sure you already have.

When I went they recommended just wearing normal clothes like jeans and a tee shirt. It's important not to wear anything that will fall off or flap around too much. Sneakers are a must.
I would say don't wear anything too loose because you get a lot of wind up there!

You should read "The Artful Egg" by James McClure. You will immediately fall in love with the characters and you will be hooked! I read about it as #1 on a list of best Mystery Novels somewhere on the internet, although I forget where.

i used to use irish spring because i love the way it smells! but man it really dries out my face, but i don't want to have to use a separate product on my face than the rest of my body because that seems silly.
this dove soap has been a wonderful stand in for my irish spring and i actually prefer the smell of it to irish spring now. certainly more mild.
just like it says, it will wash your face and whole body without drying you out at all! perfect for me. try it out and you will probably convert, too!

I use a couple of these to help keep me visible at night. I thought about getting one of those full reflective vests, but I feel like it's overkill and I totally don't want to be hauling that vest around with me when I get where I'm going!
These are easy to carry around and add enough reflection to let people know that you are there!
I feel a lot safer when I wear them, so to me they're fantastic.

I cannot say enough great things about this book. I highly suggest it for anyone curious about meditation, as it will guide you very simply into a completely relaxed state of mind.
i've always been interested in meditation but am always scared off by the weird new age words and stuff... it just didn't make any sense to me and I felt as if I was less 'enlightened' than others who could 'meditate' effectively.
This book finally took all those abstract ideas and expresses them in a way that's easy for ANYONE to understand. It's funny, interesting and insightful. Very entertaining, and I dare you not learn something valuable from it.
If you really pay attention and take hold of what the author is trying to say you will get a lot out of this book.
I try to meditate every day with the methods presented in this book.
don't be scared off by meditation! all it is is clearing the mind completely and centering your attention within. very calming experience. everyone should meditate more.

for 7 bucks you won't find a better brace out there! it gets a little uncomfortable after a while, and you definitely have to wear something under it because it's tough on the skin.
but it works splendidly and there is a very noticeable difference when i put it on. great support or repetitive lifting.

This is a wonderful fair trade full flavored organic coffee for a reasonable price. I've been drinking Cafe Altura for a number of years now because it's the best flavor for the price, as far as I can tell.

I think this would work great for you. I have one for similar reasons and I am very happy with it. Over all it's pretty high quality. Not the finest piece of furniture, but far from the cheapest. The finish looks top notch.
It serves my purpose quite nicely, and that is simply to add some storage and have a place to put my keys and wallet an stuff when I come in.
The top cabinet section is all one open area, so it has quite a bit of space in there for some larger items, and the drawers on the bottom are adequate for small stuff.
It definitely looks great in my home!

i honestly think this stuff works for me. i won't say it makes new hair grow or anything, but it takes the hair you have and makes it much fuller, thicker and stronger. i mean, it's definitely noticeable to me and my wife.
i like the idea of the ingredients they use, too. i know what most of them are and that makes me trust the product a little more.
the smell is pleasant, unlike many other hair loss shampoos that i have tried.
i think it's a good deal and if you're worried about hair loss, it's definitely a good purchase. might as well try it out.
to me, keeping my hair for as long as possible is worth quite a bit! It's devastating when you realize you are going bald!
try this out, it just might be exactly what you are looking for!

I would definitely suggest a trail runner for you. They are designed to be slightly more heavy duty than your average runner, as they have to put up with a lot more abuse.
I own this shoe and it is great for me. I do a good mixture of trail running and street running, and they perform equally well for both.
Very durable, very comfortable.

Man this is just such a handsome watch. I love it... maybe my favorite watch I've owned. It has a great contrast with that stainless steel. I like the size and the fact that it's gold. It keeps time well, too. Accurate.
I can't tell you how many compliments I get on it. It looks great, runs great.... perfect.

I strongly suggest this style (and this particular brand as well) aviator for one reason: I, personally, HATE those little adjustable nose rests you find on most aviators, because I can never find the right spot for them and end up adjusting them 1000X before I can find the right place. so annoying! I only buy this style now for that reason.
I love the look of these, and ended up buying a pair at the beginning of the summer. I have since lost them (of course) but I loved them at the time! very comfortable. nice lenses.

Nice hat! Fits well! Matches my golf attire.... that's what I like about it. Also the light colors keep it from getting too hot in the sun. Comfortable, and fits my large head well!

This bag is the answer to my prayers! One of my best purchases ever. I was so sick of travelling with a suitcase AND garment bag as I had to do at least once a week for business for a while.
I stumbled onto this product online and thought it was too good to be true, but lo and behold it's for real.
It's a 2 in 1 type thing.
Basically it's a normal suitcase on the bottom section, and the top section opens and folds out into a good sized, functional garment bag.
So now I can pack everything I need for a couple days away from home, and best of all my suits get where I'm going sans wrinkles!! I love it.
Made my travells way more enjoyable and certainly a lot easier.

as far as staying up, these are your best bet. they're not going to fall down even a little bit any time soon.
this is a serious compression sock that almost difficult to put on it's so tight. feels great for running (I have some to help me deal with cramps) i mean these things really grab hold of your leg and hold on tight! they hold on to your calves real tight and help improve blood flow.
i love them! serious socks... and expensive, too.

I think this is snazzy little pocket watch. Comes with the chain you see here. The face has a lot gong on but it's always easy to read the time because the hands are blue, in contrast to the white face. keeps time well as far as I can tell and it feels solid and substantial in my hand, which is important to me in a pocket watch.

Warm water will work ok to clean your running board, but chances are there's some tar and bugs on them that soapy water cannot get off. This is designed to deal with those types of things, and it does its job rather well.
Definitely follow with a good chrome polish for best results.

Great shorts! You can count on Nike for durability if nothing else, they always seem to use high quality, tough materials. These are made a nice material that keeps you cool and dry.
I love 'em.

sweet looking tip but had issues with the install... bolt's wouldn't lock right.
but the thing is really cool looking and more heavy duty than I thought it would be.

I think any quality microfiber will do the job for you. This one is pretty nice (although there might be better ones out there), I ordered a couple to wipe not only my lenses but other glass surfaces around my house/office.
They certainly work better than a kleenex! Get a good cleaning spray and you'll be all set.
Make sure you either blow off the dirt or lightly wipe it off before you start polishing, otherwise you're liable to scratch the lens with the dirt that's already on there.

Here's a great inexpensive mitten for cold/wet conditions. Like when your mittens are covered in snow and it all starts to melt, it won't go inside the mitten! These will keep your hands dry and warm for sure.
Soft lining, too. Mmmmm feels good to pt them on!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure you go in there with a swanky pair of kicks, too. You can tell a lot about a man by his shoes! Who said that? Sherlock Holmes or something. It's true, though. Don't go into an interview with an old scuffed up pair of nasty shoes. It's just not right. You want to look dapper from head to toe.

this is a sweet jacket dude. it's perfect for fall and spring because it's light and water resistant. It's 100% polyester.... so you know it will block wind and protect you from precipitation. really cool looking, too.

This is an absolutely phenomenal sandal that I recommend without hesitation. I can honestly say its only flaw is that it isn't completely close-toed. Besides that, A+++.
Of course the first thing that struck me about these puppies was their cool aesthetic appeal. They look great.
Trying them on yielded a very comfortable fitting sandal with a noticeable arch support and heel cup. The one draw string adjuster pulls the mesh tongue securely to your foot and tightens the sandal snug around your foot, to your specific desired tightness. Once they're tight, you can tell they're not going anywhere. It's like it's part of your foot now.
You won't need to wear socks with them because the material they've lined the inside with is so comfortable.
The tread is serious and aggressive. The whole shoe, actually, is serious and aggressive.
This sandal rocks and you should at least try one on in your search!

I like this bag in almost every way... but there are a couple of things that I should warn you about. First, the good things:
It looks beautiful. keep in mind it's not a shiny leather, but more of a buffed type leather. I like it. It holds a laptop and books and notebooks no problem, and even has a little holder for pens and pencils. It's tough enough to withstand a little travel, too.
Here's what I don't like:
The strap is cloth, and I wish it was leather. It looks a bit cheap to me. Also, if the main compartment has even a little bit too much stuff in it, it becomes impossible to close the front latch and keep it closed. So you have to plan ahead and no cram too much stuff in there, or it won't even close for you.
All around pretty nice, though. I would give it 3.5/5 stars, if there were such a rating system!

here's my general take on these cars:
the gmc is bigger and more luxurious. because of this, it is going to cost you more in general, and it also handles more like a truck. you get more vehicle here. it's big and heavy and has a spacious cabin and great safety ratings. the transmission is somewhat lethargic, almost like it needs a bigger engine to carry around all that weight.
the pilot is a nice vehicle as well, slightly less expensive. an interesting thing to consider right off the bat is the pilot actually doesn't get any higher gas mileage, despite it's lighter weight and slightly smaller size. but i would say it is a more versatile vehicle than the acadia, as it is equally well equipped for grocery shopping as camping, as I would say the acadia is too fancy to take off-road, although it would obviously perform well. it just strikes me as more of a city car.
both great cars. i would suggest the acadia, only because i like american made cars though!

This is a beautiful shoe. I have never seen a nicer looking wing tip in my life! The colors are gorgeous, the materials are top notch. The blue - gray upper is so unique, and the simplistic design on the shoe (none of the little dot designs) is very modern and stylish. Superior comfort and style is all this shoe offers.

With this watch it doesn't even matter if you can read the face or not... just stare at it and marvel at its beauty. That's all that matters and all you need to do!
No, kidding. it's actually really easy to read and get an accurate time.
But man it just looks so cool... I've never seen anything like it before!
gorgeous piece of craftsmanship!

Yeah I would say a good two button suit is sort of the standard. it's what you see most everywhere. a timeless look.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wish it had a magnetic clip, but other than that it's perfect. Fits my cash, a coupla credit cards, and most importantly everything stays in it very well and the clip is very sturdy and tight.
The leather seems fairly high grade and the craftsmanship is nice.
I'm glad I bought mine... I definitely have gotten a lot of use out of it!

I really like the style of this shirt. I think if you're playing golf in the heat you gotta purchase white colors! Those black shirts are just too hot in the sun. I bought this shirt for the appearance, but fel i love with it for its functionality. It is very light and ventilated and keeps my heat regulated on the course. It also has superior moisture wicking capabilities and keeps all that sweat off my body.
i love it and can honestly say I've never been more comfortable on the course. Gotta try one of these!

Well this is a great looking, very functional briefcase with only one real design flaw - that front clasp is hard to close! It's kind of finicky and almost feels like it wants to pop right open..... hasn't yet but only time will tell
It's all leather (except the strap which is some sort of cloth material) and has three internal compartment, one of which is big enough for a decent sized laptop.
I think it looks fantastic and I'm proud to carry it around with me. Great briefcase, gents!

This is a very interesting topic to me. I own this bracelet and wear it every day. I, personally, think it helps me with every day activities. I'm also a musician on the side, and I think it helps me with performance.
There's a lot of skepticism on this subject, but it makes sense that it would help you perform better. The whole Earth is covered in a massive magnetic field that we're accustomed to being in. Even our bodies have a certain magnetic tendency. Magnets play a huge role in our lives from far away and we don't even notice.
So, it makes sense that having one directly on the body would be therapeutic, as we have been surrounded by a magnetic field since forever.
I notice a difference daily. Is it possible that it's all mental? yes, of course. Does it matter? NO! If it makes me feel better, I'm happy with it!
Oh yeah... it also looks very attractive!

You'll probably need some kind of kit like this if you want to fix your own flats. This is pretty much all you need to fix a flat up pretty good, for small holes only, of course... up to 1/4".
It has everything you need to fix your minor tire problems: air compressor, air hose, slime seal, carry case, etc.
The slime works incredibly well. I've only had to use it once on a nali hole and it sure did the trick.
I don't think it's a replacement for keeping a spare on board, but it is a nice supplement. Who knows how big the hole is going to be next time? Might not be fixable.
Great product, works how they describe it. Nice compressor, too.

I think bolo ties are a really fun unconventional way of dressing up an outfit. It's not every day you see one....actually it's more like NEVER that you see one, so it's fun to wear one and see people's reaction.
This one is awesome because it is soooooo southwest. It's got that skull right on there. If you're gonna wear a bolo, might as well go all the way!
It doesn't have real turquoise, but it is made well and out of nice, heavy materials.
I love mine, and I love the conversation it stirs up!

This is a great pair of overalls that I picked up a few months ago for painting and household chores. Basically, the wife was sick and tired of me ruining all the nice clothes she buys me, so I had to get a layer of protection.
I use them mostly for painting and gardening, which they're great for and the pockets are nice to have instead of a work belt.
Made by Dickies, they are very strong and durable and you will certainly have them for a long time.
I would say they run a little long, so take that into consideration when buying!

This is a nice lightweight, mesh upper shoe for you to try out. I've owned a couple pairs of these and think they're fantastic.
Arizona's a tricky place to hike in the summer because it's so hot that you want something lightweight and breathable, but it's so rugged out there that you really need something heavy duty, too. That's where these come in. They are both durable and ventilated, light yet rugged.
They even look like they belong in Arizona, if you ask me.

I would say one of these and a window cover would be your best bet. I lived in Phoenix for while and I ended up doing that.
Also try to point the car away from where the sun is going to be, especially if you're going to be somewhere for a while.

This is really nice 100% cotton long sleeve shirt. Great for layering or just trying not to be seen.
Carhartt built. Carhartt strong.
I should right ads for them.

Yeah I would say it's moderately difficult to build your own box. You will certainly need some construction knowledge and the proper tools....including a power drill and a jigsaw (make sure you know how to use them!)
I would only recommend trying this is you have prior power tool experience. But yeah, it can be done! i built my own box about ten years ago and it worked pretty well!

As far as I'm concerned this is the ultimate trail running shoe. Merrell makes awesome outdoor shoes! I've been using their hiking boots for years and years, so when I got into running I decided to go with one of their shoes.
Wow am I glad I did.
This shoe is so perfect for me. It's incredibly light, both weight and material-wise and has a very snug fit around my foot. The sole provides plenty of traction and cushion for trail running, and the mesh material is super breathable.
It laces up really tight and snug all the way around - really does feel like a glove fo my foot. This also makes it easier to scamper on and around rocks -I feel like I'm more in control.

I would say luke warm water in your sink with some sort of detergent. I'm sure a hat can handle a wash, but there's also the possibility that the bill will get snagged on something and break or some stitching will come out! it's possible, especially if your hats are like mine and get a lot of use.
might as well play it safe and wash it gently in the sink. don't ruin your nice hat!

This is an awesome boot for any construction site or physically demanding job. Seriously tough and surprisingly comfortable. Steel toe for safety. All around nicely crafted. Very durable. GREAT SHOE!!! Last work shoe you'll ever need.

This is a simply beautiful jacket. It's 60%wool, 40% polyester. You can barely even tell it's not pure wool though.
Very happy with the fit and look of it. Arms and torso were all long enough.
Very handsome jacket.

This method is a little better than soapy water due to its better degreasing power. You're gonna get some oil and stuff on you hubcaps and you will most certainly need a strong cleaner that isn't going to harm your chrome.
use this and then a Mothers chrome polish and you will be in good shape.

It's really cheap to take your pants in to someone and have them professionally done... i would say under 15 bucks. If you don't know what you're doing, i would recommend taking them in to someone so you don't accidentally ruin them!

Here you go this is as simple as it gets and about as comfortable as it get's, too. The sole is an inch thick padding. This mixed with a woven upper strap provides a very comfortable walking sandal experience.

I just want to say right off the bat that this is definitely more of a fashion coat than a rain blocking coat. It's 100% cotton, if that gives you an idea. Not designed for harsh weather climates... although it can take some abuse and will keep you warm. It just won't really keep the weather out.
But that's not why I bought it. I bought it because it's a damn fine looking coat and I wanted to wear it around town. It fit's very well, has a nice belt and ample pocket space. I like the length, too. Not too long.
All around just a fantastic light weather coat.

I bought some elevator insoles that add about two inches of height to just about any shoe. it takes a minute to get used to, because you're kind of floating there above your shoes, but it's not even noticeable after a while wearing them.
also, they don't look funny from an outside perspective. you don't look like your wearing insoles.

This is a really important question because every parent's number one concern is their child's safety and wellbeing. It's comforting as a parent to know that I have a well built car seat to protect my child.
I did a bunch of research before deciding on this one. I had no previous knowledge of car seats, so my decision was purely based on reviews and word of mouth.
Glad I bought this car seat.
It feels solid right out of the box, and looks comfortable. Lots of padding. It was really easy to install and feels safely secured to the seat.
My daughter seems to actually enjoy sitting in it and she's never really complained about it being uncomfortable, other than her occasional futile effort to get out because she wants to sit in the front with me.
Do your own research and you will see nothing but good reviews about this one.

In my estimation this is the best mens casual shoe around. Clarks are known for their comfort and cushioned fit. They are just as comfortable as a good pair of sneakers. You know how some shoes like this are heavy and boxy? Not these. They are light and sleek.
Clarks always delivers excellent craftsmanship and they use only high quality materials.
I have been wearing Clarks for my whole adult life. Once you try a pair, everything else will pail in comparison, and you will be caught for life!

This is definitely 100% wool. It's heavy, warm, kind of itchy, but looks nice. I like black scarves.... i'm not trying to pull all sorts of attention to my scarf. I'm just trying to stay warm over here!

|
|
|

I love to get a nice sweater or sweatshirt. Fleece or something soft and cozy like that.

Well this is a good place to start. Check what type of oil your car needs, and get a nice oil for it. A good oil can greatly improve all around performance of your vehicle.
It's just important to keep your car tuned up nice all the time, if you want the best results. Also a clean air filter can help with performance, although I don't think it helps with fuel economy per say.
Check out this website for some interesting info from the good old government:

there isn't really a standard shoe or anything for paintball. just wear whatever is comfortable for you to run around in. probably something with a little support and some decent treads, but light enough to be quick. helps to think about the arena you'll be playing in... inside? outside? flat? obstacle? that sort of thing. just plan accordingly.
I usually just wear an old pair of sneakers.

I would recommend wearing jeans with maybe under armor underneath. wear a long sleeve shirt with some sort of undershirt - under armor is always a great layer of defense.
keep in mind that you actually want the ball to break when it hits you. it's far more painful when it bounces off for some reason. so don't wear so much clothing that none of the balls are gonna break! you don't want to cushion the ball, just your skin.
