Looking for the best countertop blender for crushing ice. Suggestions under $25?
  Oster 6706
I think this one looks like your best option in the under $25 area. It has a fairly powerful 450w motor that is more than capable of creating some smooooth icy drinks for you.
We have to keep in mind that it is only $20, so obviously it won't be super durable (like the plastic pitcher, for example) but it will definitely get the job done.

What is the best jam-proof paper shredder for home use??
  Fellowes Intellishred PS-79Ci
Not only do I think this is the best jam-proof shredder, it might even be the best all around shredder for home use.
But the jam-proof technology is as such: there is a sensor that can read how many pages are in it, and if there are too many it will automatically stop the job. Works very well. Also has other nice features, like 13 sheet capacity, 10 minute max. run time, and in general is just a very high quality machine!

Here's a small, pocket sized camera with outstanding specs and a very high MP count (24.3MP). It fits nicely into your price range, too. Sony makes a nice camera, so don't be put off tat it's not Canon or Nikon!
It has some cool features like up to 10 fps shooting, full HD video recording, phase detect AF, Panorama shooting, world's first OLED viewfinder, and like a thousand other cool things. This is a great camera!! Definitely worth your consideration.

Unfortunately, no, there is no such thing. You'll have to purchase a dslr and then stuff it into one of these , or something similar.

These are surprisingly nice for the price, IMHO. I received these as a gift for Christmas and was like 'eh' they're Skull Candy, I shouldn't expect too much, but they honestly sound great! I am very pleased with them so far. They are built rather well.... no deterioration in build quality. They are comfortable and come with interchangeable ear cushions.
As for sound quality, obviously they are not the best in the world but they're actually quite good, and I am usually a critic. You can easily distinguish between every sound you are hearing.... everything is very clear and full.
I think they are great an absolutely worth the price. Great bang for your buck!

  Pentax K-7 14.6 MP Digital SLR with Shake Reduction and 720p HD Vid...
If you have a bunch of Pentax lenses and are willing to spend some money, I would recommend upgrading to the K-7. That way you can still use all of your lenses, and you will be already familiar with the Pentax system.
This is an excellent camera from Pentax, with shake reduction, HD video recording, 5.2 fps shooting, and the new PRIME II Image processing engine. The magnesium alloy body is weather resistant and tough... should last you a while.
Definitely either stay with your Kx or upgrade to something like this, but don't switch companies if you have all those lenses already.

However, if not, this would also be a good choice. Decently rated, it seems to get some pretty nice shots. Most of it is up to you, as the photographer, to make the shots look good though. You can take even the crappiest camera and with a good eye you can get some nice images.

What is the best tablet for my social networking?
  Apple iPad 3 MC705LL/A
I would think iPad 2 would be the best option for you. It is an ideal social networking machine, and is definitely easy to use... probably the simplest of the tablets?
It can run Facebook and Twitter, no problem. And I mean real Facebook, not the crappy Facebook app. Typing on it is pretty easy, although a keyboard would definitely make it a lot easier.
As for wifi, it gets a great signal, and you can even get it with AT&T or Verizon 3g, for an additional cost.
I think you will really appreciate the simplicity iPad offers... you will be able to spend more time with your social stuff and less time learning how to use it!

35 to 39 inch TV for Sports under $700?
  Samsung UN40EH6000
For sports, this TV rules. I know you wanted one 35-39 inches, but one more inch probably won't kill you. In fact, I think you will love this thing for watching sports, for real.
It's got 1080p res. to begin with. It also has a 120Hz refresh rate. I don't know how much you know about TVs (I'm no TV genius but I know a little...) but refresh rates are very important for fast moving action like sports or video games. Hz basically refers to how many times per second the image is redrawn. 120Hz is about the minimum you wil want for good sports viewing.
It is also internet ready and has LED backlighting, so you'll save a bit on those energy bills.

This is a great choice for DSLR videography. I almost feel like they market it as a video camera as much as a photo camera, at least on Amazon. Great price for what it's capable of, too.
So yeah, you can shoot full HD video with this camera. With their new and improved video mode, you can shoot 1920 x 1080 full HD video at frame rates of 30, 24, and 25 frames per second. It also has manual exposure control, manual focus, in-Movie Digital zoom and Video Snapshot features, all new for this new model. It also allows for some in-camera editing options.
It has a 3 inch LCD screen so you can clearly see you shots unfolding before your eyes.

best tablet under $200?
  Kindle Fire
I would have to go with Kindle Fire on this one. This is an awesome tablet for consuming internet content. It has a really nice widescreen display on which you will be able to: read magazines, send emails, watch movies, watch TV shows, read millions of books, download apps and games, browse the net, and listen to music.
It's actually a pretty amazing deal. Amazon is taking a loss on the units in hopes of making up for it in content sales. So the machine itself is a ridiculously low price for the speed, options and display that you get. All of content is available through Amazon web services, and they have millions and millions of titles, movies, songs, books, etc. But you gotta pay for it.
Remember that the Fire is designed for consumption, not creation (except email). It's designed to view/listen to online content and nothing more. But at that it excels!

best tablet?
  Apple iPad 3 MC705LL/A
There are so many awesome tablets out there now, but I have to say the iPad is still my fave. It's the original and he best, if you ask me. Obviously it's not perfect for everything, and depending on your specific needs I might suggest something different, but in this category I vote iPad.
There are a few reasons why. First on my list is brand. Apple is a great company to buy from. They make fantastic products that are reliable and durable. They stand by their products and offer a great warranty (which they honor). Every Apple product I have owned has worked for a very long time, usually until I lost it or upgraded.
Next is performance. iPad 2 is a very fast machine that has no problem browsing the net, playing music, playing games, playing TV shows, or doing any of its intended functions. It may not have the highest screen resolution out there, but for general purposes the display looks bright and clear and I have never wished the display was better.
A couple more things to mention. One is the App availability... I mean there are tens of thousands of apps to choose from. This is important because most of your use on a tablet comes from its apps. Another thing would be aesthetics. It not only looks nice but feels solid.
And the last thing to mention would be usability. The iPad is like the easiest thing to use ever. Completely self explanatory, touch the icon you want to open. Done.
All around an amazing machine. Thank you Apple.

What is the best camera for sports under $250?
  Nikon COOLPIX S8200 16.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 14x Optical Zo...
This is sort of a tough price range for this sort of thing because it definitely limits you to point-and-shot style cameras. However, there are some great point-and-shoots out there that will, with a quick enough shutter speed, get you some awesome action shots.
This Nikon is one of the best in this price range.
It has some impressive general stats like a huge 16.1 MP, CMOS sensor and 14x zoom. This should be plenty to get some cool shots, even in low light situations. With Nikon's CMOS sensor you should be able to set some very fast shutter speeds and still get high quality images. Of course, as with many point-and-shoots, you can always select 'action' mode and it will automatically set itself up for great action shots.
With this Nikon you can also record in full HD video, which might interest you for sports. You can also record in 15, 60 or 120 fps for fast/motion effects.
At this price point you're not really ging to find a camera designed for action shots specifically. Most are multi-purpose, all around type camera, so you have to find one that will take good pictures all the way around, including action shots. I think this camera will definitely get the job done for you.

What is the best solid state drive for windows 7?
  Intel 320 Series 160 GB SATA 3.0 Gb-s 2.5-Inch Solid-State Drive
I always look to intel for this sort of thing. They are a trusted brand because they make a trustworthy, reliable product. Don't waste your time with off-brand drives because in my experience they will inevitably crash within a few months.
Upon installing this drive (I use windows 7 by the way) I immediately noticed ho fast everything loaded! Awesome. Folders, applications, programs, everything opens immediately, and windows itself takes a quarter of the time to start.
I am also impressed with how much it improved my multi-tasking capabilities. I can back up my hard drive and do virus scans all while surfing the internet, uninterrupted.
One more thing to mention is the low wattage.... this thing has very low power consumption.
You will definitely get your money's worth with this drive, so I really think it's a good choice for you!

So what is everyone's first impressions of Kindle Fire?
Good question, Cassandra. I jumped on the bandwagon myself and picked one up as soon as it came out, and after a few days with it I can tell you my first impressions.
Overall, I would give it 8 or 9 out of 10. Let's call it 8.5.
First off: physical review. The Fire has a nice large screen, but is a little on the heavy side. I would consider some sort of stand to go with it because you won't want to hold it for hours at a time, as to watch a movie. The screen is big enough to enjoy watching movies and surfing the internet no problem, as well as read books of course. Magazines are a little annoying because they are simply too small on the screen, and the only way to really see the text is to zoom in on it, and then you can't see the whole page and have to search around for your text.
Next, price. Unbeatable. Amazingly low price. Amazon is going to take a loss on this.... and hope to make up for it with online media sales through the Amazon store, which brings me to my next subject: media/content.
In this category it doesn't really come even close to iPad (like some people were suggesting). In fact, don't think of it as a tablet in this way, or you will feel short changed. See, it's really designed for consumption, not creating. You can browse the net and read all the books you want, but you won't be able to create documents or anything, really. Also-music... you won't be able to play your iTunes library on it :( BUT you might like Amazon mp3s better because they don't have the same restrictions as iTunes, so they can used however you want. Very cool.
One thing you will probably like is the online storage Cloud, with which you get 5gb storage for FREE!! and you can purchase more if you need, for a dollar a gb per year.
Let's see...what else...... the resolution is very clear, great for reading and internet stuff. It's extremely user friendly..even an idiot could figure out how to read a book on this thing. There is no SD drive (because Amazon wants you to buy all your content from them), but there is a micro USB and there's also a headphone jack that you can attach speakers to.
In the end I think it's a great device, and I am happy with my purchase. How could you not be for $200? Just don't expect anything close to an iPad and I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Hi Shelly. As far as being easy to use, I would say go with a palm sander like this. They are light and compact, but still sand very well. I like this option because it has the little bag to collect dust... although I am sure it won't collect ALL of it.
Milwaukee is a wonderful company for tools. I don't have this particular sander but I have other milwaukee tools like a cordless drill, and in my experience their stuff is always top notch... so I can confidently recommend this sander.

What is the best computer speaker for audiophiles?
  Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Multimedia/computer speaker pair
Oh boy do I have the speakers for you Ryan. These are spectacular computer speakers. Audiophile quality for sure - but with a hefty pricetag. I succumbed to the high price because I liked the way they sounded so much! Exceptionally clear, top to bottom.
Now, there is no woofer included here. However, I am of the philosophy that subwoofers aren't really necessary for listening to clear audio, and in fact can muddy up the whole listening experience.
So, if you don't feel the need for a woofer, and have a few hundo to drop on some hella nice speakers, look no further! These will do you right.

Is NuWave oven worth price?
Wow I had never heard of this thing until now! I just did some research because it totally peaked my interest. Here's what I have come up with:
First off, it looks awesome! If you are cooking for one or two people it looks like a nice product. You can do chicken, fish, veggies, etc., and I guess it cooks it all REALLY fast because it's such a small device and the heat is concentrated and confined to a small area.
If it's just you and one other person and you want to cook up a small chicken, this is ideal. it's way faster and more convenient than a full size oven, and certainly uses less electricity/gas.
The one thing I read that made me go 'ehhhhh...' is that the cooking space is completely sealed and airtight, meaning anything you cook in there will come out VERY moist and not crunchy at all. This sounds good for certain foods (like chicken... I like a moist chicken) but sounds bad for some foods too (like veggies... I don't like soggy veggies).
So, to answer your question, if you are cooking for one or two people and you like speed and convenience (and moist food) then yes, I think it's worth the price!

As far as cost effectiveness, you really can't beat the TCL TVs. You may have never heard of these... neither had I until about a month ago when I stumbled across this deal on the internet.
The TV is surprisingly well made. I mean, for the price, this thing is awesome.
The picture quality is outstanding. Lots of inputs, easy to set up. Sounds too good to be true.... really it's not!
My only complaint is the sound from the built in speakers - it's not the best. But run it through your home audio system and you will be in good shape.

This is a great deal on binoculars. The optics are fantastic and the 10X mag. is quite powerful. Where I live has lots of tasty views, so I needed some binocs to make the most of it.
These are good.... although not perfect. They do feel a little bit cheaply made (they are only $25 so you should expect this) and sometimes focusing can be difficult. Takes a minute to get a sharp focus. Again, I think this has to do with the inexpensive materials that go into it.
I do not think the lens is cheap, though, because I can clearly see my objects with no fuzzyness... as long as I can get the right focus!

  Boba Classic Baby Carrier, Breeze
This is the perfect pack for you man! My wife and I used this pack for my second baby and it's probably about the best pack I've found as far as weight distribution goes. I would say at least half of the weight is distributed to your hips via the waist strap. It's designed like a backpacker's pack in that way. Not only does it put most of the weight on your hips, it also holds the baby close in to you, which will help with stability as well.
It can be worn on your front or back. The straps are adjustable and nicely padded.
The baby has little foot holsters for comfort/stability.
I think this would work perfectly for you, considering your bad back. Can't think of a better product at this price, that's for sure!

hey there i would say that Canon is a good choice, i just wanted to point out another camera that might be of interest to you. I have this camera and it's awesome.
it's fairly thin- the small amount of extra bulk is there because it has excellent zoom capabilities. it also can record HD video.
As far as low light performance, it has a 12.1 mega pixel CMOS sensor, for high speed operation and excellent low light shooting.
my pics are not grainy at all, in fact they are exceptionally clear.
the only thing I can think of that is sort of a drawback is that it's not incredibly durable. A fair amount of plastic makes me worry about my future with this future, however nothing has broken or anything yet. great pics!!! i am very happy with my coolpix.

Designed by Dr. Dre to replicate the high quality headphones they use in the studio. His inspiration behind making these is as follows: they make all these complicated, layered beats in the studio, but most of the population has cheap, crappy headphones so they can't even hear all the cool stuff they put into the songs. These headphones are a way of bringing the studio quality set to the public.
They are amazing in terms of sound quality. Very clear audio. Nice rich bass.

This is the damn coolest TV I have ever seen.
It looks amazingly sleek and you don't even have to turn it on to be impressed by it. The picture is crisp and clear as you would expect it to be. It's surprisingly thin and heavy - get a bud to help you move it around because it's a bit cumbersome.
The thin frame design really helps with the 3D viewing. It makes the picture seem less boxed in, and more realistic.... like it enables the 3D effects to shine at their finest. The 3D is just spectacular, every bit as cool as I imagined it.
I'm trying to think if there's anything I don't like about it and the only thing I can come up with is the built in speakers are what I would describe as a bit muffled, so a sound system would be a good thing to add.

Vizio makes one HELL of a flatscreen television. The picture is beautiful. In my opinion 26" in plenty for a bedroom, but that's just me.
I like the picture a lot, and it was incredibly easy to mount on my wall with this little mount we bought at ikea for under 20 bucks.
What I don't like is that the sound from the TV isn't very clear when pled through the TV's speakers, so you need to attach it to a home theater. Unfortunately, it has no RCA out (because that technology is out of date) it only has audio optical, so I can't connect it to my older receiver. This necessitates buying a new receiver which is kind of a bummer, but oh well it was old anyways, right? (even though it sounded just fine...)
Now that I have it all set up it's awesome and I am a happy guy.

It's about how caffeine is the world's favorite drug and the author writes like 300 pages about the evils of caffeine. It will probably scare you off for a little bit... but everything this author writes must be taken with a grain of salt!
He is a little extreme with his rhetoric and he REALLY wants people to stop drinking coffee! But a lot of the stuff he writes is true, and I see it in myself.
If you do read it, try to be as objective as possible, otherwise you might be convinced of some outrageous stuff about caffeine and your body!!!
Also keep in mind it was written about 14 years ago, so not everything is up to date. It didn't make me eradicate caffeine from my diet, but it certainly helped me reduce my intake and think about what I'm putting in my body.

This is a high performance vehicle at a reasonable price, and the base model cost about 5 grand less than the BMW 3 series base model. It has the biggest engine Nissan has ever put in their Z, at 332 horsepower.

Basically you just want to be loose and comfortable. Nothing that will fall off or slap you in the face like a hood or collar.

First you divide the deck. You each get half the deck, but you only have three cards in your hand at a time. You each get 3 cards to start. There are two face up cards on the table, the rest in each of your draw piles. Your goal is to get rid of all your cards in your pile first my matching either color, number, or shape to the two face up cards. You set your matching card on top of either card on the draw pile and now that's the new card to match too. Make sense? Really fun and fast! Love it.

Great product!!! I was surprised at how well this stuff shined up my floors. To be honest I wasn't expecting to get much out of my old hardwood floors, but this did a great job at bringing some life back to them. Not like new, but definitely shinier and more vibrant.
Very easy application, just clean your floor (try to clean thoroughly for best results), mop on, let it sit for a minute, and mop off.
Just have a good plan of action that involves mopping without stepping on the freshly shined parts! This might reduce overall effectiveness.
Good stuff.... i recommend.

To me, this is the perfect boot. Full rubber sole (it's warm in there, too) warm, thick upper with laces all the way up to ENSURE no weather slips into my boot. SNOW, STAY AWAY!!
Very warm and tough. Favorite boot I've owned in the last 10 years for sure.

  Whitmor 6779-3044 Double Rod Closet, Silver
I have gotten a lot of good use out of this shelving unit. I like that it is not attached to anything.... this means easy set up and i can move it around.
Set up is very easy... basically just stack it into place.
The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it's definitely designed only for lightweight items like clothes, and I don't recommend it for anything but clothes and shoes.
The steel frame is okay but not as sturdy as it could be.

What is the best massage technique book?
  The Book Of Massage: The Complete Stepbystep Guide To Eastern And W...
I have an interesting love/hate relationship going on with this book.
First of all, it is a great book for beginning massagers and has tons of detailed pictures, diagrams, and text to show you all the proper basic techniques.
I dabbled in massage therapy (nothing too serious) but I have taken some classes and I can tell you the techniques presented here are accurate and do work well.
My dislike for this book (and actually someone on amazon pointed out the same thing that I'm about to say) is that it completely discounts that any anatomy/physical knowledge of the human body is necessary to do a proper massage.
This is ridiculous. You are massaging a human body - you have to have a comprehensive understanding of how the skeletal/muscular system works in order to give a proper massage.
It's like being a baker and not knowing that sugar makes yeast rise. You gotta know the basics!
But it will give you the knowledge to give a good basic massage, and since you are not tying to save anyones life or anything, this should work well for you!

What is the best side step bar for an F150 under $250?
  Bully AS-500 Universal Adjustable Stainless Steel Side Step
These are awesome side steps that are easily customizable to almost any vehicle type. And believe me, they look way better in real life than these pics.
Kit comes with all the adaptors you need to make it fit your vehicle or just about any truck/suv.
Take your time with the install and get it right because if you get it on there solid and tight it feels really good! Mine have been on there for a number of months now and I am happy to report they are still tightly secured to the frame of my vehicle and they are not going anywhere soon. They also have shown little to no wear.
I love how they look with the bored out circles on the side. Very industrial and manly.
They provide an excellent extra step into my lifted truck without adding too much extra.
Installation can be tricky and needs to be precise. If you are familiar with this sort of hands on work you'll be able to do it yourself, but give yourself a whole afternoon. it will probably take a number of hours to get them just right. Spend the time getting it right! You don't want to live with a shaky step or anything.

awesome winch... even better than I had anticipated. rated for 4500 pounds pulling. heavy duty. has a 55' steel cable included.
it's especially handy for pulling yourself out of sticky situations, which is what i use it for. I tend to run myself into the mud a lot because it like romping a little too much. works great for that and pulling other light - medium loads.
If you are not mechanically inclined you're gong to want someone to install it for you, because it can definitely be a handful.
works great though!

I don't know if I've seen a one bike mount - I guess they assume you've got enough room in your vehicle for just one bike? I don't know, but I do know that this is a really handy little 2 bike rack.
Very light and easy to put on and remove, and it's padded in the right areas so it won't scratch your vehicle. Don't leave it on when you're not using it to haul bikes - I actually had one stolen right off my car (luckily I didn't have bikes to put on it) when I was in the city one time. I was so pissed! But I liked the product enough to buy another, identical one. That should say something right there!
Might be a good idea to have a two bike rack, anyways, just in case you find a riding partner!

This is a great little kit to keep in your car but it's really only designed for small vehicles. The pump is just not powerful enough for larger vehicles. But it's pretty amazing how it works. You don't even need a jack. You just add the slime and connect the compressor and the slime should fill the hole and enable your tire to inflate.
Be advised: it only works for puncture holes, like nails and stuff. Certainly can't mend a tear or rip or anything.
It's a nice spare tire back up. Definitely does not replace a real spare. Not reliable enough.

I've been rockin one of these for like 3 or 4 years now. These are durable, attractive tool boxes. If you've got any tools or really anything floating around your truck bed, you have to get yourself one of these. They are a necessity, as far as I'm concerned.
I like the low profile look - blocks less of your rear viewing capabilities. This does reduce your storage amount by a lot of square inches, however. So consider what's more important to you - field of view or storage.
For me, this box has all the space I need. But if you're a carpenter or something, I can absolutely see how a bigger box would be necessary. They fill up pretty quickly, so think about how much stuff you're trying to fit in there.

What is the best type of box for a subwoofer?
This is a tough question because there are lots of variables that effect the answer, for example what size woofer? and what brand?
But in general there are 4 different types of boxes designed to get 4 different results.
1)Ported boxes: have vents on side, generally allows for more output from your sub and more low bass responsiveness. generally larger than say, a sealed box.
2) Sealed boxes: just what it sounds like. sealed to be airtight. this allows for a tighter, more accurate sound. Good if you are more into quality and accuracy than volume and boomyness.
3)Bandpass Boxes: these things hit hard! They actually combine the the two mentioned above, so it's a sealed box and a vented box next to each other. The woofer is in the sealed box and the sound waves move through the vented box for maximum pounding....obviously a bit on the large side
4)Free air woofer: these actually use the space they are in (usually the trunk) as a box, so it's a completely different experience. In general they have less power than a boxed woofer. Also, if you want to use tis method, make sure you get a woofer that's designed for free air use.

What is the best shorts option besides cargo?
  Lee Men's Wyoming Shorts,Khaki/Stonebrook/Plaid,38
I see that this particular pair has cargo pockets, but something like this with a similar pattern is always cool. I know you can find tons of shorts with this pattern and no cargo pockets because I have 3 different pairs.

My boyfriend won't wear cardigans because he thinks they make him look feminine. I don't think they do at all. What do ya'll think?
I agree with your boyfriend! There is something about the shape of a cardigan that just makes it look sort of feminine.
