Well if your main concern is smoothies I think you should give this thing a shot. It is seriously fantastic for smoothies or anything that requires ice crushing or blending frozen fruit. Sure, it makes sort of small portions, but for one or two people it is ideal. Probably aren'te trying to make massive amounts of smoothie anyways.
The reason I suggest this as compared to a regular sized blender is simple: at this price range you can either get a specialty smoothie maker that makes amazing smoothies, or a so-so $40 blender that is mediocre at everything.

From reading reviews and also reading up on the product a little bit I have determined that this is a great diamond cut shredder as long as you only need it for light use. It is inexpensive and can cut up to 6 sheets at once. Also can cut credit cards.
It is designed for light use, and for that it is great.

Logitech is the way to go if you ask me. Here's a really nice one and at a reasonable price...far below your proposed budget. The G400 is comfortable, precise and reliable. The 3600 dpi optical engine ensures accurate tracking. The 10 million clicks they ensure you will get means durability.
Basically just use it once and you'll see it just feels right at home in your hand.

Check out this Bluetooth keyboard from Microsoft. It is compatible with iPads as well as many Android devices. Has that ergo shape and correct angle for your wrists. High quality, simple, durable, great for travel, and alleviates wrist stress! Fantastic.

Is it the fastest in the world like they claim it is? Probably not.... but it is hella fast! Claims to do 4" x 6" photos in as fast as 10 seconds. That's pretty darn good.
It prints high quality color photos, scans, copies, and is wireless.
Also, Epson does a good job at providing cheap ink replacements.
Prints around 9.5 ppm (black) and 9 ppm (color).

I would think this is a good choice for you. It's small, inexpensive, slim, and has some decent built-in speakers so you don't need a sound system. Has mercury-free LED backlighting for a bright image and low environmental impact.
To me it's just the right size and price for a kitchen or bedroom television. Check it out!

This is the one I would recommend. Olympus is on the cutting edge of 4/3 type cameras and this is one of their highest rated models right here.
These are really nice cameras! Especially for the low price.
It's a 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens digital camera, completely mirrorless. This particular one features a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 digital zoom lens, and a built-in flash. It has a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal LCD screen, can capture HD video, and gets fantasticly clear images.
These are a great alternative to dslr, as they offer a similar shooting experience at a fraction of the cost and size.

I think Vizio is the way to go for budget TVs. They sell em cheap but make em good! I actually have a Vizio myself, although not this model, and I am nothing but pleased with it. It just works! This one is a decent size, at 19 inches, and being on the small size the fact that it's 720p won't even mater. LED lit means you will save some $$$ on your energy bill, too.

I don't know if you would consider this headset from Sony (I guess it's the "official" headset for PS3) but it's the highest rated one I can find, at least based on customer reviews. It does feature 7.1 channels and is about half of your proposed budget. Seems like a really good deal to me. High quality sound, good build quality. Maybe not quite audiophile quality, but will pass the test of a discerning listener.
Also want to say that the Tritton AX 720 looks fantastic as well, and I think you would be very satisfied with those.

I think at this size it's advisable to start looking into TV monitors instead of computer monitors, otherwise they can start getting very expensive (there is of course a PC input). The only drawback is that up close you might notice a slight degradation in image quality, but it's only noticeable if you're way up close.
If you are watching movies you shouldn't be super close anyways or you'l fry your eyeballs, so that shouldn't be a problem.
The reason this one is great for movies is simple: it has excellent picture quality and surprisingly great sound... and what good is a movie without its soundtrack? This will do you well - definitely look into this Samsung.

Beautiful colors, excellent IPS display. I love NEC for this type of thing, they truly make an excellent product. For any kind of color-intensive work or editing, you can't go wrong with this guy.
Very accurate colors.... this is a pro monitor, so only get it if you are serious and ready to calibrate and stuff!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gaming.... yes you want great picture quality, fast response time, decent contrast ratio.
This monitor will definitely offer all of those features, and at a good price.
You got a 2ms response time for basically zero ghosting.... also has 50,000,000:1 high contrast ratio. You'll be in good gaming hands here :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, besides suggesting a very expensive IPS display, which really is ideal for color accuracy, I think you would be happy with something like this. It will give you pretty accurate color representation, and really the only thing negative I have to say is that I think you will have to be nearly directly in front of the screen to get the true color accuracy, as it doesn't have the widest of viewing angles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This would be perfect for you. It pivots, so it can be viewed vertically. This is particularly useful for programming obviously because so much of programming happens vertically as opposed to horizontally.
Besides that, it has excellent resolution (1920x1080). Text will be extremely sharp, and in general it will be an absolute pleasure to work on, and hey it's actually very reasonably priced.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well.....sort of. I mean you can't take the picture and immediately upload it without first connecting it to a computer because it would have to have some sort of internet connection to do that. BUt they do make it super easy with this camera. You can see on the website I linked just how easy it is.... 1) take the picture 2) select (in-camera) where you would like to share it 3) connect to your computer, and VOILA! it is shared. Also uploads it to your computer.

If sunlight isn't a factor then go with plasma. Burn isn't really an issue any more, and because of the technology used in plasma screens they have a super high refresh rate (equivalent of 600Hz, which is outstanding). If sunlight is an issue (like your TV is facing a bright window) then you should go with LCD, as the screen will be easier to see in brightly lit rooms. But in general I think you will get better gaming performance from a plasma screen.
|

With your price range I am going to suggest you check out these because they are phenomenal headphones. Expensive but amazingly clear and comfortable. I mean there is just no way you won't be blown away!
There will be a little extra room in your budget for you to pick up one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/ASTRO-Gaming-USB-MixAmp-xbox...
The ASTRO Gaming USB MixAmp will allow you to use your new kick ass headphones on a variety of devices. This will be an amazing set up, and since it is in your budget I say DO IT!

I think this was one of the most interesting, unique games ever to come out on PS2

I think Sony's Tablet would be one of the best for gaming. But I am a bit biased because I really love playstation games, and it not only comes with Crash Bandicoot and Pinball Heroes, but is the only tablet that offers an assortment of other Playstation games, with a selection that is constantly growing. In addition, you can also of course access all the other droid apps for other games. Also has Android Honeycomb Operating System NVIDIA Tegra2 Processor.

I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. This is the one I have and I freaking love it. It is set up like a beginner's point and shoot and is insanely easy to use, but it has some features and technology that Canon's high high end cameras have, so you can take some incredible pictures.
I like that it's a somewhat full sized camera. It feels good to hang on to and is fun to take pictures with.
It has a bunch of auto modes to make shooting a breeze. Also shoots HD video.

Like most other people I am going to recommend building your own. You will get way more bang for your buck than if you were to purchase a pre-assembled Alienware, for example. Also, it's not as tough as one might suspect. This Cyberpowerpc is a great place to start. Check out the link and see if you can up with a nice build for yourself within your budget.
|
|
|
|
|

Definitely possible. You won't find something large and high quality, but you can definitely find something small and high quality!
I recommend Vizio for anyone looking for a budget TV. I think they sell a nice TV at a good price. I have had mice for about a year now with no problems at all... very pleased with mine. I like the picture, the look of the set itself, and the sound is pretty good too, although I do recommend going through a home theater system of some sort if you can manage.
This TV is 19 inches diag, has 720p resolution, and built in speakers, and plenty of connectivity options.
GIve this one a shot. I think you will be very pleased!

Hi Judah... reasonable question!
Here is a thread from get.com from a few weeks ago. It's no trick! Free games are given!

In my understanding, RAID is generally not even used at the consumer level, and is designed more for high-end workstation or server level systems.
I guess most consumer users use the RAID 0, because it offers increased performance without the loss of storage space....mostly because redundancy is not an issue for the average user. In fact, most computer systems will only offer either RAID 0 or 1. The cost of RAID 0+1 or RAID 5 (etc.) are just too costly for the average consumer.
With RAID 0, which I assume is what you are talking about, I would say the advantages/disadvantages are as follows:
Advantages:
Increased storage performance
No loss in data capacity
Disadvantages:
No redundancy of data
I don't know a ton about this, but this is merely what I have gathered! Hope this helps a little....

You should really look into these, they look like a serious active headphone. They are so sweatproof you can apparently wash them in the laundry... actually this is their recommended method for washing them. Crazy.
They feature a little hook thing that sits in your ear to hold them in place, so they are earbuds but stay put better than most earbuds. Apparently they have really good sound, too.
I'm pretty interested in these things now.... they almost look too good to be true, like they're indestructible.
Just so you know, it is also a headset, so you can actually use it with your phone as well, if you want. Has in line controls for that.
These things really have it all, definitely worth a look.

This looks like a comfortable, quality bluetooth. Gets about 5 hours talk time, has an on/off switch, and a little flip out mic. Small, compact, functional. Looks like a winner to me.

Yeah I don't think you'll find much in the way of netbooks under $250. However, if entertainment is your main concern, you might try a Kindle Fire. You can read books, magazines, watch movies, play games, etc. I think it would be your best bet at this price point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think this is one of the best you can get for around $500. Gaming won't be great, but it's pretty solid all around.
Specs highlights:
Intel i3-2310M 2.10GHz processor
4GB of DDR3 memory
320GB 7200 rpm hard drive

In my very humble opinion, water cooling is only worth the cost if it is absolutely necessary. Air cooling can probably take care of most of your temperature issues. Unless you are planning on overclocking you most likely don't need water cooling.
Another thing to consider is it worth your time to install? And you have to change the water every 5 or 6 months....also faulty hose could ruin your machine. It's one of those things where it's really only worth it if you REALLY need it. At least I think so.
|

I agree with everyone else... go ahead and get 'em! You won't be sorry. They are both charming in their own way.

At this price point I would personally recommend a tablet over a laptop. Reason is, you can get a great tablet for around $350, but you can only get a decent laptop at that price.
If you can extend your budget just a little but you should pick up an Eee Pad Transformer. These are awesome tablets that are competitive with iPads...in fact many people would even say they are better than iPad.
Eee Pad is quite powerful and capable of so much, from internet browsing to word processing to games (and a growing Android app store), and it uses Android 3.2 Honeycomb - an excellent OS.
Also, if you save up a little more cash you can eventually buy the keyboard attachment, essentially making it a laptop. This way you ge the best of both worlds.

I'm going to suggest this one from Samsung...and not just because it has a hockey scene on the display! Because it has some features that sort of lend themselves to watching sports.
Hockey is especially tough to watch on TV because the action is so small and fast, so you really need a great TV to get the best viewing experience. You need great picture quality and a high refresh rate.
This one has a good refresh rate of 120Hz, and awesome 1080p res.
It has frame-to-frame smooth motion, which uses some calculations to basically eliminate blur, which is the biggest enemy of watching sports on TV.
Should be a great one for you.

Don't know if you need color or not, but if you don't your most affordable option would be a monochrome laser printer such as this. Brother is a reliable brand.
This will print, scan, copy and fax all of your documents, and your $45 high yield will print 2,600 pages before it needs replacing. Waaaay cheaper than running ink.
I'm sure you want to keep costs down in that office, so this is a good option to consider.

Not 100% sure this fits into the Ultrabook category... it's definitely a bit thicker than Air, but it's also way more powerful. It is quite small and portable though.... pretty similar.
It's powered by a 2.30 GHz i5 dual-core processor ("Sandy Bridge"), compared to the 1.7GHz dual-core found in Air.
Also has 4 gb of installed DDR3 RAM and a 500 gb SATA hard drive.
I guess MBA does have that flash storage which is quick and great for travel, but you could put a SSD in the Series 3 if you were so inclined.

This looks like a super cool keyboard... I've been considering getting one actually.
It's backlit and has 3 different light settings. It is thin thin thin and would look really nice and sleek on my desk... or yours... or anyone's for that matter.
It supposedly has almost silent typing, and a really pleasant touch. Sorry, it is a tiny bit over budget, but dang it looks so nice and that backlighting is great.
|
|
|
|
|

Sandy Bridge is an excellent processer. It is one of the fastest, most efficient and best "bang for your buck" processors around. I think that is the main reason it is so popular and amped up, because the price is so good for what you get.
Also, a lot of people like it because it's unlocked, so you can overclock it.
|
|
|

Hi there Alan, I found this on Amazon, and it says it comes with an Instal CD for Windows and Macs. It can be used as a wireless bridge and is way under $1000!

This seems like one of your better options for under $800. Some impressive specs going on inside... check out the highlights:
Intel Core i5 2410M
4GB DDR3... 2 SODIMM sockets, up to 8GB
640GB hard drive
15.6-Inch HD (1366x768) LED Display
0.3M Webcam
3x USB 2.0
Windows 7 Home Premium
Pretty capable machine for under 800! have fun

All good suggestions here. I have previously used Kenwood and can vouch for their quality, but I think all three suggestions I see thus far are excellent.

I'm not super familiar with the MSI brand, but I have heard some good things about their gaming machines so I thought I would recommend one to you. I haven't used one personally, but it looks quite impressive in writing. Check it out:
you'll be getting an Intel core i7 processor, 12 GB DDR3, one TB (500gb X 2) hard drive, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M discrete graphics on a 15.6 inch HD display. daaaang dude it will definitely play those new games.
The only drawback I can see is it is pretty bulky. But there is a whole lot going on inside, so a little bulk is to be expected. Definitely worth a look.

I've got 2 options for you... the same TV in 2 different sizes. Unfortunately I couldn't find it in exactly the size you want, but here is a 32 inch for under $600. The next size up (which I would recommend going with) is gonna be 42inches, and is barely over your price point at $740.
I would prefer to watch 3D on the larger screen, but either one will give you a pretty cool 3D experience.
This thing has lots of cool features. It comes with 2 pairs of 3D glasses. It is 3D capable, internet ready, and has 1080p full hd resolution. To watch 3D you will of course need a source that can play 3D (like a 3D Blu Ray) and 3D content, like a movie that is in 3D.
Hop on the train! It's a nice ride!

This sort of thing can happen with older machines. Since it was given to you, I am assuming it is rather used. Most people don't really understand how to properly care for their laptops batteries.... you're supposed to charge, drain, charge, drain, etc. Probably it was just charged too much, all the time or something. After enough abuse, batteries simply have nothing left and cannot hold a charge.
So I would guess it's a battery thing. There are other problems it could be, too. Like maybe the power cord is broken so it won't charge the computer but it will give it enough juice to turn it on... I don't know, sounds like a battery issue to me, though.

Wow I haven;t even though about these in like 10 years! This is the one I used to have. These are bomb calculators!

This would probably work for you. It fits nicely into your budget. I think it has a real enough video card -NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M. It also has some decent internal specs that should make it a solid school work computer, as well as a "medium" intensity gaming computer. It has an Intel Core i3 370M processor (2.40GHz), 4GB Memory, and a 320GB Hard Drive. All good stuff, and at an exceptional price.

I'm sure the folks at Aden Camera will be able to help you out as well.

I guess the answer is yes, that is a pretty good laptop. But I definitely recommend against Alienware, because so much of what you're paying for is that name. I think your money would be better spent elsewhere, like this Toshiba, for example. It has a larger screen, faster processor (up to 3GHz with turboboost), and an awesome graphics card. There are other good computers at this price range, too.
That being said, the M14x is a good gaming computer. I just think you will get better all around use out of the Qosmio, or something similar.
|
|

I would definitely say I know next to nothing about this, but I will try to help you at least a little bit.
To my limited understanding, overclocking is simply pushing your computer to run at higher specifications than factory settings.... like pushing your processor from 2.4 GHz to maybe 2.5, 2.6. You can do this on many computers, but not all. It sort of reminds me of upping the horsepower in your car. You haven't changed the actual engine, but have rearranged things and opened up some pipeways that enable higher performance from what you already have.
So why don't these machines come already overclocked, pushed to their highest settings? I guess it's possible to damage your system, because the components are not really designed to run at these higher operating levels. But if done right it can really work.
If you want to give it a shot, I would recommend talking to someone in person who knows how to do it.
If you want to give it a go yourself, maybe try this website or something similar:
http://www.wikihow.com/Overclock-a-PC
Good luck!

Polk makes a nice home audio system. I think you would be very happy with this one here. It is about $30 over you budget, but that's not too bad if you ask me.
You get one woofer, 4 satellites, and one center, all reasonably high quality, too.
I have a Polk system similar to this one and I think it sounds great. I also like that it's low profile. Everything sort of blends in with my living room and you don't even notice the speakers until I turn them on... I like it that way.
|

at this size you might want to consider getting a desktop! this is a very big laptop, I think it may even be too much to lug around.
|
|
|
|
|

I would suggest this one for a little extra audio support. I use it with my Asus and it's awesome. Adds a noticeable edge to my music listening experience, I mean my music sounds so good now! Gives me a lot more control over my speakers and the sound that comes out of them. Definitely a good purchase if you ask me.

I would say Wacom definitely has this market cornered! But seriously they make a great drawing tablet. This one is an upgrade from their previous models, and a good one at that.
It's pretty darn big, and looks very professional. Well, it is a professional model.
I like the pressure sensitivity, I mean it captures every nuance with your pen. I also like the Expresskeys short cuts and the multi-jog, as it speeds up general use. Excellent for creating digital artwork or editing photos. The big, wide screen is also a pleasure to do work on.
This is the real deal, and it will perform for you. Look into it!

Make sure you get a slider case, not a snap case. Snap cases don't provide any protection on the front of the phone, so if you drop it the screen is liable to break. Slider cases curve around and provide some protection for the front of the phone...definitely important.

I think this has been discontinued, but it's seriously a fantastic wireless microphone...I would recommend going through this company if you can. They created the first wireless system that doesn't require a body pack, so you clip it onto your horn and it transmits directly from the clip.
This is the transmitter that a lot of big names use... look into it for sure.
|

|

Personally, I think this is the best one, but I think if you asked a Tom Tom owner they would probably say theirs is the best!
Why is it the best? I think it has some great features that sort of put it over the edge. Things like screen size come to mind. Five inches is nice and large and that's important, especially if you're navigating by yourself. The screen has an anti glare coating (it works!) and the image is crisp and clear.
It has turn by turn audible directions, which are very handy but also a bit annoying at times.... like I want to say, "Shut up, I get it" but overall it is helpful. Oh and it also has lifetime map and traffic updates that come with it.
I just think it's a really intuitive system that is easy and efficient to use, and I am sure your husband will appreciate it.

This bag is PERFECT for you!
I use it for my Asus Transformer. I call it a semi-hard case, in that it holds its shape by itself but pressure on it will cause it to collapse. It provides a decent amount of padding for your computer, but like I say it's not totally rigid so you still have to be careful with it.
It doesn't have tons of extra room, but enough for all the components you will need to use the computer, for example the charger.
I really like that it has a shoulder strap. #1 favorite thing about it. It also has a handle. Very convenient. I've had it only a few months so I can't comment too much on durability. But as of now no real wear.
Over I am very pleased and would recommend it to a friend.

Great twin size bed. I like that the inflator is actually attached to the bed. My last inflatable bed did not have this feature and I ended up losing the inflator.... and it couldn't be inflated without it. I guess I lost that round! Had to get rid of it.
With this bed I don't have to worry about it. I use it for travel- which I do a lot, so it's nice to not have to worry about losing it. It also has a quasi built in pillow, but you will need a real pillow.
I don't recommend this bed for sleeping on every night, because I think it would fall apart if you did that. But it's good for occasional use. It stays inflated throughout the night, too, which is awesome!
|
|
|
|
|

I read a comparison saying this was the best one in terms of sound quality and battery life (like 10+ hours)
But I think the coolest feature is that you can connect many together to get more and more sound! That is a really cool idea. I don't own one yet but I do plan on purchasing one soon...or maybe more than one!

This is a decent system from neatdesk. One of the better ones I could find actually, although it does have some flaws.
Basically, I just have a hard time getting the receipts to go into the loader...they always seem to crumple. Also, the software is sort of difficult to use, as there are lots of terms that don't mean anything to me, so it's hard to decipher what some of it means!
All in all though it helps me get some of the clutter out of my life, and for that I am thankful. It goes pretty quickly, too, so don't worry, you won't be spending hours trying to load up the receipts.

PhytoBio Enzymes are what you need for the best performance. This product has them.
See, a lot of companies try to sell this type of thing by weight, when in fact weight has nothing to its quality. You want your enzymes to be ACTIVE, that's how you determine how effective a digestive aid is...not by weight! These are good, but really just look for phytobio enzymes. They are the best performing digestive aid on the market right now.

Well this is the one I would recommend. I have been using one for a few months now and I couldn't be happier. It's just under $600, wich I think is a heck of a deal. A lot of bang for your buck. Check out the link if you want all the specs, but let me tell you it's fast. It's an all-in-one, so it's an excellent space saver.
It comes with windows 7, and not tons of crapware loaded onto it, which is nice.
Great computer! Very happy with it.

I think if you really want the most power for the price you ought to build your own.... if you don't want to (or if you don't know how) than this might be a nice one to consider... it will give you some pretty nice gameplay for under $500.

Who doesn't like Toy Story? This is like an icon now. I think a ten year old would love this. It's big and flexible and it talks... just like in the movies!

I would say go with the old apple wireless keyboard. These are great... and in fact I am typing on one right now!!! And look at how fluid it is and how effortless it is!!!
But seriously, I like this keyboard. Of course it works seamlessly with Apple products. It's very light, and has a very long battery life (a few months usually, depending on use of course) and is small and light. The perfect little accessory for an iPad.
On the flip side, it's a little small - definitely not a full size keyboard. It's not ideal for any serious work like data entry or the like, but for typing emails and stuff it's perfect.

Are you pc or mac? I don't think these are compatible with mac.... but hey if you use a pc this is a great option. Pretty inexpensive, high quality printer. Perfect for shipping labels, barcodes, that sort of thing. Keep in mind that with dymos you have to register the software, and if you don't they will keep reminding you to do so incessantly! So get it done right away!

Belgian Waffles!?? Now you're speaking my language!
I love belgian waffles and bought this guy about a year ago because I wanted to be able to make some good ones at home...regular waffle makers just can't do it.
It makes awesome waffles, and is a very reasonable price. I like the timer, too...makes for perfect waffles every darn time.

Hey Matt, you should check out this Silverstone tower. It's really big and pretty expensive, but man it is a fantastic case. It has plenty of space inside...excellent for water cooling.
It looks great and is solidly built of aluminum.
It's big and bad!

This is one of those products that looks like it is some sort of gimmick because it's so flashy looking, but let me assure you right now that there is no gimmick here! These are VERY high quality speakers. Maybe a bit overpriced, but if you can afford the hefty price tag you will definitely be impressed.
Everything about these things is cool, right down to the model number: GLA-55 (glass.... get it?) The sound they produce is so clear and pure that you won't feel like you need a subwoofer at all (good because they don't come with one). A woofer becomes unnecessary at this point, and actually would probably distract from the already beautiful sounds coming out of these things. The lows come across clear and punchy, not boomy at all.
Clarity clarity clarity! My jazz collection has never sounded better. If you cherish clear, pure audio, these are the speakers for you!

Not sure what your budget is on this one, but this wil be a great little unit for you. It's a pretty small, toaster looking device that is awesome because you can use Airprint to print from your iPad and other portable devices, and really you can print from anywhere in the world with ePrint, another feature it has.
This might be overkill for you and your purposes, but it is a nice printer and will get you a long way!

Check these out! They're not actually available yet, but they look awesome, and bring up a legitimate concern: being seen from the side. We're always concerned with being seen from front and back, but most people (including myself) haven't given any thought to side visibility.
With these you will be seen from every angle. They also change color depending on how fast you are going. Cool, right?
I wish they were available right now because I want some!!!!!

This is the keyboard I use. It's great. I love it. Nothing too fancy, just a quality board.
The feel is soft and crisp and it's laid out like a laptop keyboard, only it also has a number pad. It feels sturdy, built well. It's pretty compact as far as gaming keyboards go, but I like that about it. Backlighting is nice, too. Good keyboard!

Here's a good option for you for under $100, plus it scans and copies, too. The photo resolution is fantastic. I'm only an amateur photographer, and really only use it occasionally for photo prints, but when I do I am happy with them! With the right photo paper (I use Canon) you prints will look amazing. It's great that it can also do other home office tasks as well.
Big time warning though - - be ready to spend some dough on ink! This thing really eats it up. I think it's reasonable, considering the quality of the photos, but it really does go through a lot. I still recommend because it will make your photos look how you want them to look!

The most 'indestructible' frames available right now are made of Hydrated Nylon. Look into it! You will definitely want your frames to be made of that. Not sure about the actual lenses though.

If you can afford going up to $300, I would suggest this Canon. I agree completely with David - color quality is excellent with Canons. This particular one uses 8 color cartridges simultaneously to create incredibly vivid images. This will give you two things - very clear and beautiful images, and a very steep ink bill!

This is an awesome multi-purpose compressor, and best of all it comes with all the attachments you need.
It's the perfect unit for household use. It does it all. You can inflate tires, blow leaves, power a nail gun, whatever you want.
I highly suggest this compressor! You get a lot of bang for your buck!

I would say this one that I have is about as efficient as I've seen. It's about two feet wide and is great for raking large areas. I rake up my large front lawn in about half an hour, which is pretty darn good. It's light and efficient. Easy to handle.

I use this shampoo because it makes my dog Bronx smell better in general, all the time. It has anti bacteria and anti fungal ingredients, which I think contribute to a much more pleasant smelling dog.

I would say this is your basic pizza wheel right here. Slices right through your pizza, thick or thin crust. The handle is comfortable and putting a little xtra pressure on it won't break it or anything.
Nothing fancy, but then again you don't need anything fancy for cutting pizza.

This is a pretty nice home office shredder that I use. It shreds my paper to confetti and I feel good about the security if offers.
A couple things I should point out that may effect your purchase: it's really not for large quantities of paper, or anything thick and tough. I would say it's a light duty shredder.
I can shred about 1 - 3 pages at a time, beyond that it gets bogged down. Also, extended use will cause it to heat up to an uncomfortable temperature, so keep your shredding to under 10 minutes at a time.

Did you see this one? Fantastic movie. Best Sci Fi I've seen in a minute.
It's kind of predictable and cheesy in a charming, Steven Spielberg sort of way. Very exciting, and totally new and fresh ideas. Loved it! I would give it 4.5/5 stars.... taking away .5 for the predictability part.

Wowy this set is amazing and totally takes lasertag to a whole new level! It is pricey, but worth it if you want a really kick ass game.
You won't believe this. It's has about 200-300 ft range, depending on the conditions, and whether you are inside or outside. The gun has an LCD screen that lets you know how many shields you have left and also has preprogrammed games.
The eyepiece lets you know when you're gun is locked on target, so you can take accurate shots.
The whole system is awesome. Easy to use, well built, accurate, and loads of fun.

Well I think this one would be perfect for you. It a totally accurate and easy to use breathalyzer! And it's on your keychain.
Here's the full scoop:
You gotta wait 20 minutes AFTER your last drink to use it. Otherwise it will pick up on what's left in your mouth. You gotta blow from deep in your lungs, because it's measures the alcohol content in your deep lungs.
So you turn it on, wait a few seconds, it will tell you to blow, it beeps four times as you blow (about four seconds) and then you wait for 30 seconds for your results.
It's amazing - very accurate. The levels are always right where I would imagine them to be, except they take a LOT longer to go down than I thought! Alcohol really stays in your system, even if you don't really feel it.
This is a good tool for anyone that just wants to play it safe and always stay under the legal limit.
Great product, highly recommended.

If you want to save some money this is perfect. My mom has one that she uses almost every day, and she can make one heck of a latte now!
it takes a little practice to get everything right - from tamping the grounds to frothing the milk to getting the right 'crema' on the espresso, but once you master it you will be making better lattes than the guy at starbucks and you won't have to give them 5 dollars the next time you crave a latte!

This is a PRETTY good telescope. It's the only one I have, so I do cherish it and love it, but it's not perfect. I think for the money it's a good purchase, because the optics are good, and once you find your target it is very clear and in focus. Things like the moon and venus look pretty amazing!
Downsides - focusing is a little tough. Unfortunately there is a little play in the focuser, so things move around a little. I think the base is sturdy enough, though.
Also, I can only really see anything with one lens...the other ones are to hard to focus with. Maybe user error? I don't know.
But I do recommend this for the casual astronomer. It's fun and satisfies my need to stare into the heavens!

I think any Knex coaster will be pretty awesome! They are a fun puzzle to put together, and it's cool to see all your hard work pay off wit a moving, motorized roller coaster!
You can also try making your own, but it's really hard.

I think this would perfectly fit your needs! Under $70 now, too.
I have one at my apartment. It fits a laptop, papers, jewelry, all that sized stuff. Pretty wide.
The security is great - it's very tough steel, and feels heavy and solid.
It can be opened with a key or with a 4 digit security code of your choice.
Hide it well or anchor it, otherwise someone could certainly run away with it.
I have mine anchored in my closet - it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

If you're into stainless then I would recommend this set to you. It is very durable and is a beautiful, shiny steel. The finish is bright and looks high quality.
I think this is great cookware, and much prefer it to Teflon. Teflon is not good to cook with as soon as it's scratched at all, so I would rather deal with a little food stuck on the pan than potentially dangerous Teflon entering my body! That's my take anyway.

This is a decent board that's right in your price range. It's really easy to just cruise around on.... carving is made very easy on this board. I would call it a beginner board though, because it's not really designed for high speeds or anything tricky (bombing hills is out of the question!) but for casual cruisin it's perfect.

You will undoubtedly need one of these! I own this pan and I have to learned to make one heck of a deep dish, although never quite as good as the real Chicago deal. Close, though!
This thing works quite well, though. It seems to make for an even cooking experience, and all my pies turn out delectable and delicious.

There is a massage, aerating, and wide angle setting on this bad boy.

Get yourself some new shoes and get running!!! You will be blasted with more energy than you know what to do with! For real, I started running at the beginning of the summer, and now I have so much energy that I almost have to go for a run every day just to get rid of it all!

Definitely use a microfiber cloth, as you don't want to scratch that screen. A regular rag is liable to scratch it. You want something extra soft to protect that investment.

i have this bag for my 17 inch mac. it's perfect for me and man I absolutely love it. i like that it's a messenger bag because I can bring it when I ride my bike.
it's made of a nice THICK neoprene that offers plenty of protection from not only impact but weather. very durable bag!
only problem is it might be too big for your needs, but on the other hand you will be able to fit a lot of other stuff in there like books and notebooks and whatever.

i would say this is right up your alley? 1080p, led monitor, full hd widescreen, 22 inches, vga and dvi inputs.
i have this monitor and it pretty much rocks my world. obviously it's not the biggest monitor I've ever seen, but it is among the most vibrant in picture quality.
it also boasts some significant energy savings, and for that I am thankful.
you certainly can't go wrong with this monitor.

this is a good option for in-ear, passive noise canceling phones.
they have a very clear audio quality and produce a surprising amount of sound.
they do block a little extraneous noise, too. not like a noise canceling headphone, but they do okay.
i like ear buds because they are easier to take around with me and i can use them when i work out.

For 35K you can get a lot of car. I'm going to suggest the Ford Fusion Hybrid. It is a fantastic investment that will save you money in the long run. Right now in this crazy world it's important to think about saving gas and going with a hybrid option. It's a great investment.
These are fantastic cars. Ford has changed their focus (no pun intended) and is making high quality, efficient, reliable vehicles. You can custom design your own, which is really fun. Check it:

If you are just getting into rock climbing this is an excellent shoe, and was actually my first.
It's designed for all around comfort and usability, so it's a perfect beginner shoe. a lot of climbing shoes you will find are designed for a specific type of climbing and won't be as useful for a beginner. some are designed for climbing cracks, some for overhangs, some for bouldering, etc.
this is going to be a multipurpose shoe that will be comfortable all day and give you some nice grip on the wall. Five Ten is one of the most trusted names in climbing gear, so you are in good hands.
As far as sizing, you need to be careful! You want something pretty tight so you can get a solid grip on the wall, but something that's going to hurt. be careful ordering online because shoe sizing can be difficult.
have fun and be careful on those walls!

I love this hoodie the little design is so cool.
Th material blend is actually a favorite of mine, 80% cotton and 20% polyester. I like it because it holds up a little better than pure cotton, and I like that because I can't be spending a fortune on new shirts every time my cotton ones wear out.
It feels just as soft as cotton, breathes as well, and lasts longer.

I would say it definitely depends on what you are using it for. This is a great PA system that I have and it's great for speaking into or playing recorded music through. Easy to set up and take down, and in that sense it is very portable. It's definitely light and portable.
My only thing is I don't think it's great for singing into, especially with other instruments. It's okay.... don't get me wrong. It creates good sounds and decent volume levels.
The problems are A) it doesn't supply phantom power, so you can't use a condenser, and B) there are only 2 bands on the EQ, high and low. So you can't adjust the mids at all which is very frustrating because I can't get the exact sounds I want out of my voice.
Pretty nice sound output however, and overall I am pleased with it.... just consider what I have told you!

These are awesome they are completely waterproof and wind proof. Definitely need to be worn over another layer because they don't offer much insulation.
They do fit like snow pants though. Kind of baggy and weird. But they do an excellent job at keeping me dry on my hikes so I don't mind the snow pant fit.
Durable and totally snow proof!

I truly recommend these blades for all seasons they are fantastic, and the price!!! Oh the price is awesome. They make a nice seal across the whole window and work equally well now as they did months ago when I bought them.
The key here is durable materials. They don't fall apart... I mean the actual blade won't fall apart, it's a durable rubber material with some sort .
No noise and no streaking make these a great purchase and me a happy customer.

Here is a perfect glove for you. I wore a pair of these all last winter, and now that I have lost them (arrrg) I will be purchasing a new pair for this winter.
They are very attractive leather gloves and surprisingly warm. They won't help you in sub zero temps of course, but I wear them out when it's way below freezing and I am fine.... fingers will get a little nippy but that's to be expected.
Try not to get them wet, that's the only thing. They don't do well with water!

This one is nice, especially for chips and salsa....has that southwestern/mexican flare to it. Very attractive little holder!

First of all.... do YOU think it's haunted? Why? Are you hearing noises or seeing things? I think a good place to start is to do your own snooping and determine whether or not you think it's legitimately haunted.
Do you know anyone who is particularly clairvoyant? Some people are sensitive to sights/sounds that us normal people can't detect.... that 6th sense. It would be worth getting a second opinion from someone you know.

I think this is an excellent shoe for trail running, bad weather running, any running really! Comfortable and light, and actually quite waterproof, at least in my experience thus far, after 4 months.
They won't keep you particularly warm, but you'll be running and wearing socks so you should be okay unless you live in Alaska.

This is THE book for learning sleight of hand. Great for beginners. Lots of pictures and in depth instructions. It has tons of sleight of hand tricks and amazing card tricks, too. You will blow your friends away with these tricks!!
Advice: practice these tricks a LOT and try them in front of someone before you try to impress anyone because it can be tricky to pull it off well! Make sure you can nail it right away so you don't give it away!

I guess this is just your basic shoe rack, but it is really sturdy and holds tons of shoes. There are 4 tiers on which to put shoes, if you include under the bottom one... which I do. Very sturdy. Better than others I've owned for that reason.
Assembly is relatively painless and only takes a few minutes. Ain't no thang.
Fits nicely in a closet.
I have mine in the closet because honestly, it's not the prettiest thing to look at in the world. Kind of bare bones ugly. But it's a shoe rack, so what do you expect?
Does what it's supposed to. Holds shoes.

you should be thinking about a usb mic like this, especially if podcasting is all you plan on doing with it. usb mics are nice because they eliminate the need for a preamp.... another couple hundred bucks.
you plug this straight into your computer and you are ready to go. all you need is a powered usb port... it uses phantom power so it will need to get that power from your computer.
it is a pretty sensitive condenser mic, so you may also want to consider purchasing a pop guard or even making one of your own to help make those hard 'T's and 'S's less noticeable.
you will get a nice rich sound with this mic. condensers are awesome for getting nice full sounds! great mic... this is all you need!

I used to rock climb a lot actually (I wish i still did!) and I would generally try to wear athletic shorts and a tee shirt, or no shirt if outside. You should mostly be concerned with flexibility and range of motion - like yoga. If you're afraid of getting scratched up on the rock you could wear some sort of stretchy pants like yoga pants, but shorts are way easier for moving around into weird positions that might be required for the next move.
Light and stretchy, that's what you should be thinking about.

fantastic shoe. built real tough, especially in the sole. look at the pics on amazon and you will see how thick the sole is and how well put together this shoe is.
there is a fine line with running shoes between lightweightedness and durability (because the two certainly don't go together) and this shoe does a wonderful job and bridging the gap.

I just moved to Chicago and someone recommended me getting one of these guys. Thank god they did! Probly saved me 2 or 3 dings already.
It's like there are no laws against hitting bumpers in this city. I'm pretty sure it's actually legal to bump cars a little bit as you park yours or pull out of your spot. This is crazy to me!!!!!
But it is the way of things. So I adapted to this crazy system and protected my car as best I could!
The Bumpshox is super easy to install - same idea as putting on a license plate. It sticks out far enough to provide a little buffer zone and hopefully deter the other driver from ramming my car too hard.
The only thing I don't like is that it certainly doesn't cover my whole bumper, so all the corners ar still completely exposed! I little scary, but still better than nothing. A little protection is better than nothing!

This is a 100% cotton canvas belt. For some reason the description on Amazon says it's 100% genuine leather, and I just want to clear up right now that it's not leather! This belt is great. Heavy duty, very thick material. Lock it in place wherever you want to. Nice solid industrial buckle. Top notch in terms of durability. One issue I've had with it, however. It is quite wide, and it actually doesn't fit through the belt loops in one pair of my pants! Take this into consideration... maybe go look at your belt loops and decide if they're big enough. All the belt loops on my jeans fit it just about right. Much smaller may be a tight squeeze.....

I don't golf so I have no idea if you would actually ever play a round of golf with one of these on (probably not for summer, though!) but I love this hat! It's a 60% polyester, 40% wool blend, but there's enough wool in it to give it that real wool look and feel.
It fits just like they said it would and the material is soft and warm on my head.
If you like the way these hats look, this is the one for you.
I had been searching for a reasonably priced, real feeling hat for a long time, so I was pleasantly surprised to finally find this one.

great shoe! doesn't have huge treads, but it has a non slip rubber sole which is perfect for boat decks. go ahead and try some.... you'll stick to that deck like glue

If you're willing to spend upwards of 100 bucks I would definitely recommend staying away from the 10-40 dollar price range. You will only find cheaply made tips that fall apart, not amazing deals like you may think.
Get something that is a high quality stainless steel like this one. It's very important to invest in high quality materials if you want your tip to last more than one winter!
A lot of the cheapies are basically plastic with a stainless steel coating, which will offer you about ZERO in the durability department.
If you want your tip to look good next year too, without having to buy a new one, invest in something decent like this.
You will be happy you did!

This is a pretty nice pad. It's probably not as soft on your skin as, say, a sheep skin one, but it does provide a nice barrier between you and the seatbelt!

I have a couple of those. I think they're nice for work because they look very professional. Clean cut, nice lines. I wouldn't wear one out on the town though... kind of 'square' if you ask me.

I'd be pumped to get anything that said Seattle Supersonics on it, even just a plain old tee like this. Personally, I'd rather get a tee than a jersey because you can actually wear a tee shirt around... the jersey isn't really usable unless you want to get it autographed and up on your wall, or if you actually plan on ballin in it, neither of which are things I would consider doing.
Maybe a hat and a tee? That would be an awesome little combo.

These are a nice mid range mitten. You can wear these in pretty cold temps without loosing feeling in your fingers. I like the gore tex waterproof lining and super soft inside liner. Feels great on my cold falanges. Some sort of leather-ish palm gives you enough grip to solidly hold on to your shovel or snow lower or what have you.

This is a pretty nice scrub set. It's a poly-cotton blend...not as good as pure cotton but not bad. Comfortable fit, look nice (well, as nice as scrubs can look i guess) and I like the drawstring close on the pants.

This is my first cowboy boot... I've always liked the style and finally just decided to go crazy and buy a pair.
Right away I was surprised by how comfortable they felt on my foot. I never thought a cowboy boot would be som comfortable!
They look terrific. Nice designs, nice material (even though it's not 100% leather). The sole is tough and can take some abuse. I recommend these boots. yeehaw

This hiking shoe is so relaxed it almost looks like a casual town shoe. It was actually designed with that in mind, ideally to be used for light hiking and walking around town. This made it the perfect shoe for me to bring to Virginia this summer.
I could wear them to the airport and travel in them all day, walk around towns, cities and historic regions, and even do an all day hike on the Appalachian Trail, all with equal results - all day comfort and dependability.
I say dependability because they are made of high quality materials and didn't even start to fall apart after a week and a half of constant use (it was basically the only shoe I wore for the whole trip).
A great looking shoe for almost any occasion (for real). you have to try these out! They are unsurpassed in awesomeness.

This is a simple, well made hard case with soft material interior. Good for medium sized glasses. Looks good and is durable enough for every day use.
I definitely suggest a hard shell case! Your glasses are liable to break in a soft shell. It's happened to me before.

nice little fanny pack, although I stress the word 'little'. it's good for short day hikes or wandering around a city for a coupla hours (perfect for your travelling probably) but is too small to take on long adventures. will hold your keys, cell phone, wallet, mp3 player, water bottle.... maybe a couple more small things like snacks or whatever.
The annoying thing is that the little water bottle holder is only on one side so when the water bottle is full it can be kind of annoying... it pulls down slightly on the one side.... guess it gives you a good reason to stay hydrated!

i have one of these. it's amazing, you can't get much better than goose down. I think this is one of the warmest articles of clothing i own. it's an absolutely glorious vest. it's like a mini sleeping bag. mine fits a little snug... you might want to consider buying up a size.
also.....this is kind of weird but the zipper zips on the left....???? why? i don't know. are we sure it's a men's vest, or is this how they do it in canada?
bottom line, it keeps me warm and that's what matters!

I recommend this watch purely for its aesthetic value and nothing else. It looks reeeeeally cool if you ask me. I mean it's certainly one of the manliest, sleekest watches I've ever had.
The problem comes with it's functionality though. You have to push a button to see the time..... are you serious diesel???? That is really annoying. Maybe next time you make such a stunning watch you can also make it easier to use.
As far as looking good on your wrist, this thing takes the cake.

it's weird, this seems to work very well for certain people and not at all for others. I think the key here is using the right technique, and also not expecting too much. It will only work for minor scratches.
By right technique I basically just mean lots of patience and buffing. That's what it takes. A little elbow grease will go a long way with this product.

This is a very handsome shoe that is ideal for dealing with summer heat. It is low cut, which immediately is going to keep you cooler than a boot will. It is still verk supportive of my lower ankle, and over all is very secure feeling.
The upper area is made of mesh and leather... the mesh of course helping with the heat.
The treads on the bottom are nicely adept for hiking on rocks and loose stones, as the the desert tends to have a lot of.
These are very comfortable and I'm surprised more people don't wear these because they truly are a beautiful looking shoe.

I use a running top like this. Works the same, basically the same exact thing, I just happen to like this brand. I think they make a superior ventilated active shirt.

My girlfriends water resistant watch was ruined from nothing more than everyday perspiration and hand washing. She never showered with it or anything! So of course it was up to me to buy her a new one. Got her something that's waterproof up to 100 meters. That's the protection you need, right there. You could scuba dive with this watch and it would still work.
I think water resistant watches are definitely a gamble in the shower and you might as well take it off.

This is a ridiculously cool trail runner that is almost perfect in its design. I love the way they look and the way they feel on my feet. They have plenty of padding around the foot, but not too much to make it hot. They lace up really nice and tight. The sole has nice treads.... but this brings me to my one problem.
see, I have to run down a road to get to the trails that I like to run on, and without fail every time I'm on that road I get pricked in the foot by a rock. there are lots of cinders on the road and the treads on the bottom of the shoe are wide enough for rocks to get in, and the sole is thin enough up there for it to stab my foot a little bit.
it doesn't happen all the time or anything, but generally once or twice during a run i'll have to stop and pull out some random rock or twig or whatever.
not the end of the world, and worth it for the agility and comfort that comes from running in these!

I wear these pretty much exclusively. I LOVE THEM.
Everything I want in a hiking shoe. They are really lightweight and ventilated because of the mesh upper. They are also somewhat form fitting and thus very comfortable, right away.
I am surprised at how well they perform, considering their lightweight materials, but the sole is a tough as nails rubber and the upper is as well.
I also like the toe design. I've had problems in the past with other shoes where the toe part peels back and is left to flop around with every step I take. Not these. That toe is not going anywhere!

You're gonna have a tough time finding a decent 88 key piano for under 200 bucks. This is over your price range, but is a pretty nice portable piano. The soft touch keys mimic a real keyboard to some success, although they're obviously not weighted.
It's pretty nice that it comes with a stand, sustain pedal, and has its own speakers.
It's not going to have tons of sounds, but the ones it does have are pretty realistic.
It is nice that it's full size, but honestly unless you're playing bach or something you probly won't notice the lack of the other 12 keys.

I would recommend the classic double breasted coat, just in a non black color. it's a good look for any professional in need of some wind and rain protection.
This one is of excellent quality - i know I own one myself. It is rain resistant, so you can't go swimming in it or anything, but it generally works for my purposes very well... which are going into and out of buildings in inclement weather. Never been rain on so bad that this leaked on me or anything.

I like these shoes a lot because they're less bulky than most skate shoes I've owned. I don't skate that much any more but I used to all the time in high school and kind of got comfortable with the skate shoe look and feel. These turned out to be my favs because they're lighter and smaller than others, yet far superior in comfort, to me at least. They were nice on a board because I felt i had more agility and lightfootedness to pull off tricks better.
i think they look really nice, too, and I wear them pretty much all the time. They're my every day shoe. I will admit they may not be the most durable shoe I've ever owned. They are by no means heavy duty. but they get the job done for me.

Also make sure that you're okay with the fact that everything you wear is most likely going to get completely ruined, so don't wear anything you're terribly fond of.
gloves are a must! and long sleeves of some sort

This is a pretty good cup holder, but it is certainly not designed for heavy loads. Clips easily onto your a/c vent, which doubles as a portable refrigerator for your drink... if you happen to have the a/c on.
so it works well, but only for light stuff. it's delicate... you can tell by looking at it.

No they should not be mixed together al all. They are not actually the same substance, and the combination can cause a sludgy buildup to occur. No good. Don't do it!

Ideally you should try to buy it straight from your dealer. They will probably have oil that is designed specifically for each of their makes and models... or at least something that will work great for your car.
There is a difference in oils, but if you buy name brand (Quaker State, Valvoline, etc.) you will probably be in good shape. However, if you have a higher end car, you might want to consider spending that extra dough on the dealer oil. Oil does a lot for you car, and it's important to keep it clean and have the right stuff in there!

Hey I don't know if you are looking for a racing game or a car design game, but this is the latter. I think it's really fun:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/racing-live%E2%84%A2/c...
You build cars and buy race track real estate and stuff.... there are tons of upgrades you can get for your car.
It's not a racing game, though! No racing at all, just car development. I think its fun, but some people aren't in to it. Check it out for your self.... it's free!

This is a great little hard drive that I use. It's super portable, totally plug 'n play. Includes a NTFS driver for Mac so it's actually interchangeable between MAC and PC without reformatting. This is nice! A lot of people don't like Macs and sometimes I run into compatibility problems.
But this is a great option as far as portable storage goes.

I like a tie that sort of jumps off my suit and slaps you in the face, getting your undivided attention. I think this tie accomplishes this quite well, while still being attractive and well made.

I have found that soccer jerseys are amazing for this type of thing. If you think about it, these companies spend a fortune trying to design the very best lightweight, cooling shirts for their teams. It's a global competition for the best made jersey. So if you can splurge on an authentic jersey, you can be guaranteed that it will keep you cool and comfy, not to mention stylish. Soccer is always cool!

I just got a pair of these. They're kind of expensive but really nice and I think the're totally worth the high price tag. Why? Comfort, style, and durability. I do a lot of outdoor playin' with my swimsuit and need something that will hold up to my rough and tumble lifestyle. These are great for that.
I also like that they're slightly shorter than your average suit. I don't really need a suit that hangs down past my knees... I'm not in high school any more. This is a nice look and a nice suit.

They're okay but they're obviously much smaller than other woofers, so you won't get as much punch or volume. Having them directly under you is petty cool though. You definitely feel it in the seat.

I know merino is a nice wool, usually says on the tag. Merino actually refers to the merino sheep, which produces very large quantities of wool and was bred for that reason, and even imported into the Vermont area ... near where I live. That's why I know this.... I'm not crazy. But it's a nice high quality wool for sure.

I know why I wear them. Comfort. I like that they don't come very far up my ankle... I find that irritating. Also, I do have really nice achilles.....

I'm totally a tri fold kind of guy. This is a beautiful wallet from dockers. Very affordable, too. I like tri folds because they force me not to have too much crap in there.... if it's too full i can't close it!

I wear a full suit to work every single day, so I don't really even feel dressed up like that any more. But that's more of a business style, work thing. Dressed up to me casually is when you're rockin a really nice suit and dressed to the nines... maybe a tux or something with a little pizzaz

Yeah it's like the easiest thing in the world... like Steve said it's right there in front and really the only thing that looks like it could house an air filter.... has a big air tube coming off the top. The tube is connected to the lid of the box, so don't let that confuse you. When you take off the lid, it will still be attached to the air tube.
As far as filters go, a Fram would work, but you should check out this website and think about getting a washable filter:
http://www.carid.com/2000-jeep-cherokee-air-filter...
if you're gonna be doing it yourself, you might as well get a filter that you can wash off and reuse.... really get your money's worth. they are more expensive, but in time pay for themselves.

No. I just put on a pair of jeans and and a tee. I'm boring that way i guess. I don't like thinking about it either, man! fashion is not really my thing and I don't want to waste my time with it.

man picking the right tires for your Jeep is a big deal because it's a) expensive, and b) a performance vehicle so you want to make the right decision. Check out this link to help guide you. It sort of breaks down the different styles and functions of each type so you're not overwhelmed, and so you can narrow it down a little bit!

Pea coats are the way to go! I've been wearing one for 3 years and hope to get another 3 out of it. They are fantastically warm and always looks nice. Versatile, too. You can wear one to the symphony one night and the chinese takeout the next without feeling out of place.
They are very stylish and made of heavy wool...this one is a wool blend, though. i think a pure wool coat would be even better.

Man I had the same problem with my jeep. Some people don't realize how important it is to change your spark plugs every so often...if for no other reason than to make sure you can get them out! So anyway and I used this spray I think it was called break away or spray away or something. Just spray it on your plug and let it sit there for like 20 minutes. It penetrates into the threads and loosens up grime and stuff.... really worked for me.

Radar detectors for private use are not illegal except in Virginia and D.C. (They are illegal for commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds) I think it's more like cops just don't LIKE them in your car. But the real issue as far as legalities go is 'cloaking devices'. See, cops have a device called a Spectre that can read if you are using a radar detector, and these 'cloaking devices' actually jam their signal so they can't tell that you are using it. These devices are illegal in Minnesota, Utah, Nebraska, Utah, California, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois and Washington DC, so watch out! The radar jammers usually give the cop an 'error' code, which is just as obvious to them as picking up your radar detector with the spectre.
So, you need a good cloaking device (if you live in a state where is's illegal!) I suggest Blinder M-20. It jams radar with minimal error codes.
But like I said, they are only illegal in certain states, so if you don't reside in one of these, you should be fine!

I am only suggesting this to those truck owners out there looking for an dependable bottle jack. I say truck owners because the darn thing is already so tall, it doesn't fit under your standard car. Don't waste you money with this if you only own cars!
but it works great on my truck and easily does what it's supposed to. But that's about it. Bare minimum - will lift your truck up a little bit.

This is a hell of a radar detector that I think blows the socks off the competition (Cobra, to be specific). It just seems to out perform every other radar detector I've seen or owned. I love the range it has, first and foremost. This is the most important function of a radar detector, after all, and for me it is of number one importance. The range on this unit is incredible. Picks up K, Ka and X radar from devices long before I see them and warns me of their presence.
A really great feature is the auto volume adjust. It adjusts the volume of the unit depending on the amount of ambient noise in the vehicle.
You can set it up to block out known false alarms because it also has a gps function.
I will say I still get a decent amount of false alarms, even with this feature.
The only bad thing I have to say about it is the bright display. It is way too bright, even when turned all the way down! They need to adjust this because it's awful.
Everything else - great. You will get your money's worth for sure.

Dude this thing is awesome... die cast metal, all proportionally correct. It's not a collector's item or anything, but it is a nice recreation by hot wheels. 1:18 scale. Most of the pieces are solid metal and feel high quality, although there are certainly some plastic parts. Fun and cool.

Spitz makes a great all around glass/goggle that is both stylish and heavy duty. This particular pair has photochromic lenses that adjust to light levels, so you can literally wear them at any time, day or night, without switching lenses or anything. awesome product. The lenses are shatterproof and UV400 protectant, as well as coated with some scratch resistant coating.
The are very well made, strong and durable.... they could take a beating.
Also, they easily switch from goggles to glasses. The temples are easily detachable and the adjustable head strap attaches easily.
ALSO, when in 'glasses mode' thee is a rubber ear lock that slides along the leg to the perfect spot on your ear and effectively holds the glasses in place. It works really well and makes the goggle function almost unnecessary.
Make sure they fit you right... I suggested these to my uncle and he bought some, only to find out they don't fit well on his head for some reason.... but I love them and highly recommend them!

I love these goggles for the price and the interchangeable lenses. I will say they are hard to change (you have to master the technique) but once you do it's easy and nice little feature.I usually keep the 'smoke' lens in because I do most of my riding during the day. Never an issue with them not fitting right or falling out or anything. They are UV400 protectant and have shatterproof lenses. A pretty nice buy although you get what you pay for... cheap materials all the way around are what make these such a low price, but they will perform for you and are all in all pretty nice. Comfortable, too. Very comfortable.

I ordered myself one of these just to keep around... I think it's a good idea have one at all times in your car. People have them at their homes all the time, but never in their car, where it's probably more important because you're going really fast! But this is a great car safety kit that includes:
An eight gauge heavy duty jumper cable, a flashlight with batteries included (yay), a safety vest, a poncho, a screwdriver, 6 different sized fuses, a reusable ziplock style bag, and a 19 piece first aid kit.
Everything you need for minor emergencies that are bound to happen. Makes me feel better when driving long distances at night or by myself. I'm in my car a lot, so this is a necessity for me. Great kit from AAA, one of the most trusted names in the auto travel industry.

This is a cool approach to remote starter installation. There's actually a DVD install guide for people like me that want to save a couple hundred dollars in install fees. It's still hard and honestly it took me like a whole day to do it... but I am proud to say that I got it up and running by myself and it has worked like a charm ever since. Only complaint is that you only get one remote, and it's made of cheap plastic. If you're gonna make something out of cheap plastic, at least give me a back up!
The DVD really helps you wrap your head around the whole process so you actually understand what you're trying to accomplish. The kit comes with everything you need except the relays. Relays are used to optionally set up remote options for door locks, trunk release, dome light, and parking light. This makes it way more difficult for installation, though.
It also has dedicated engine start/stop buttons (can't be reprogrammed or relayed) with programmable run time of 5,10, and 15 minutes. Pretty cool.
You get some coo features like "pit stop" where you can make short stops without turning off your vehicle... great for cold weather and for gas consumption.
I do ant to warn you that it is pretty hard to install this thing! Not so much the remote part... it's fairly well explained.....but getting to and working with your car wiring is difficult! Good luck.

The interesting design on this sub is due to the free air resonance technologies that world renowned JL audio has used to create what is possibly the most advanced and beautiful sounding woofer to date. This is saying something for this company. I don't know if you've ever experienced their woofers before but they are simply amazing. They are unmatched in their clarity and accuracy, and I think the best word to describe them would be 'tight'. The sound they produce is as tight as it gets and you just can't believe how good it sounds.
JL believe's in the motto "sound quality first" and that's why I buy their equipment. I don't want a subwoofer thats so loud I can't even hear the rest of the music! That's not why I spent a fortune getting this thing installed! I want clarity and pure bass tones.
You will feel every single note hit you coming out of this thing.
Make sure you use a good solid box and a high quality sound system, otherwise this would be a waste of money.

I really like Kenwood products for their very high sound quality. This is certainly an instance of sound quality over sound quantity with these woofers. These aren't for waking up your neighbors as you pull out of the driveway at 2 in the morning.... these are for nice sounds and warm bass (although they can slam pretty hard if you want them to!).
This is one 12" woofer that is very well built and delivers high performance sound that won't rattle your car to pieces.
The 1200 W capacity is channeled through the rugged polypropylene cone for a centered, not fuzzy, pure bass sound. Like I said, I go for quality. If you are similar, check this woofer out. Easy to install, easy to listen to. One warning, though! keep reading...
I have already owned one of these prior to the one I own now. The foam lining actually ripped because I had it turned up too loud, so I had to send it back. I got another one because, although my first one ripped, I liked the sound so much a couldn't resist. Second one has had no ripping issues at all!

This is sort of an industry standard for the auto industry. It works really well for car upholstery especially, as it was designed specifically with that in mind.... although it can be used for basically any leather product (not suede). It brings out a nice, like new shine to my car seats..... I try to apply it about once a month. It comes in this huge bottle, so you should also get a spray bottle to put the cleaner in so it's a little easier to handle. Don't be afraid of buying this large amount, though! It works fantastically well on leather upholstery, and car seats are big and need attention often, so you're gonna need a lot of cleaner.
This has no chemical solvents, and is also good for use on purses, luggage, furniture and other leather goods. I will say one word of warning, though. My wife tried to use this to clean her leather purse and accidentally used a little too much. The product leaked through the leather and onto the lining of her purse, pretty much ruining the lining. (at least the leather was clean)
Just keep in mind that it is a liquid so it needs to be controlled... don't let it get on things it shouldn't be on!

I'm sure if they're a ford enthusiast they also drive a ford vehicle. Get 'em these cool Ford logo racing mats. They are designed to be trimmed to fit just about any vehicle, and are actually sold as a pair, as they should be. They are very rugged and heavy duty... I would say 'all-weather' mats. Easily cleaned with soap and water.
Actually my favorite part about ordering these was the extremely fast shipping......thanks Amazon!

Check this out for the ultimate in steezyness. This is a throwback to old german motorcycle half helmets that used to only be available as a novelty item. Now they are produced for functionality as well as look. You can't get much cooler than this helmet. I absolutely love mine and the looks/reactions I get from people. There is something about seeing a biker in one of these that is somewhat startling and definitely eye-catching.
Aside from its good looks, this helmet has some other real nice features. The shell is super tough and is available in four or five different sizes. The inside lining is very comfortable, although can get a little warm. Not as warm as a full face, and that's why I prefer these halfies.
The only thing I don't like is the chin strap. It's quite thin and during long rides can get a little uncomfortable and even irritating.

Bad Ass. The only two words that can really describe this piece.
This is the helmet Darth Vader would wear if he rode motorcycles. I love it! And as much as I love the look, I also love the design.
It's about as light as it gets... I think 1200 gram. That is ridiculously light for a full face helmet. It was their main concern while in production.... behind safety of course, which has not been compromised for weight. The carbon fiber shell is rated very high for safety, so no worries there my friends.
One concern I initially had was that it was FAR too tight... especially in the ear area.... then I discovered the ear pads are removable! This is awesome, and gave me a little extra space in there. No pinched ears for this guy. However, I will say in general this helmet is pretty tight all the way around. I would suggest maybe ordering a little on the large side.
It also has a removable breath guard for easy cleaning.
It is important to note that it ships with a clear shied, not the cool tinted one shown here. That one is an extra $40. This kind of bummed me out, so I wanted to warn everybody about it. Other than that, awesome helmet.

A sport helmet that you and I can afford. looks fast, super aerodynamic, reduces drag, an amazing deal for the price. The interior is lined with a hypoallergenic, microfiber infused mesh and is very comfortable. Also has removable cheek pads for washing. This thing is just so stylish...it's like the epitome of racing helmet.
I also want to say thank you tom Amazon and Fuel for not only getting my size just right but also shipping it in a timely manner.

DOT approved, awesome graphics, tons of padding, comfortable mesh and microfiber insides.... what else could you want? Ventilation? oh yeah has that, too.... duel ventilation vents, front and back.
Also, for the sweaty ones amongst us, the inside liner and ear pads are both removable and washable. My only neg on this one is the forehead area feel a little tight.. but manageable.

For the proud American in all of us. What could be better than cruisin cross this great country with one of these bad boys? These graphics are superb and the helmet, though not equally impressive, is also very nice. The only reason I'm not as impressed with the helmet is that it's just not quite as tough as I'd like to see it. Not to say it's flimsy or anything. It can definitely take a beating, but it doesn't feel quite as solid as other helmets I've owned. However, other helmets I've owned never looked quite like this! i love the ventilation system. it totally works wonders in regulating my head temp, and also the one touch 'adjustable diffuser' as they call it works well, drawing even more air in and around your face.
Watch out, this thing is really big, a lot bigger than it looks here, so be warned, and let's go America!

I just think this is such a classy looking helmet.... almost like an equestrian helmet, but a little more rugged. It is super light and small and stays out of your way so you can focus on what matters - the scenery! Of course it is DOT approved.
Also, mine came in the mail really fast.... thank you!

This is what you need if you value high visual and audio quality. The 7" LCD motorized touchscreen is totally unsurpassed in its overall quality and clarity. It only has 800 X 400 pixel resolution, but it looks awesome on my dash and impresses everyone who gets in it immediately.
The sound quality is fantastic and it kicks out a decent wattage - 50w X4 speakers... sounds nice 'n full. The iPod integration is fast and easy but you do have to purchase a cable... I got the Pioneer one and it set me back a full $45... I think it's only worth about $5. The bluetooth is amazing. It's done by parrot, which means it's basically the best.. very clear on both ends and easy easy easy.
My only beef with this unit is the navigation system. It is definitely not up to par and is quite inaccurate in general. There is a sweet spot for sure right in the middle that makes it difficult to select area around it, and the maps in general aren't as detailed or pretty as they could be.
Good stuff in general, though. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

This is a great standard digital tire gauge. Nothing fancy, just reads you psi and displays it on the big display area. it's very rugged and nicely shaped... makes attaching it to the tire a breeze. It also has an auto shut off switch to stop over deflation.

Whew this is a slick looking machine, huh? I love it mostly for that reason.... makes my dash look so legit! Actually I love it for a lot of reasons, and hate it for one, which I will get to. It's capable of playing just about anything you have - mp3's, cd's, wma and aac files, and has in auxiliary input for you itouch or whatever.
It can support up to three different phones for its bluetooth functions, and can of course transmit via bluetooth any songs on your phone. I have noticed very minimal distortion and very high quality sound in general, and am very pleased with it acoustically.
Well, it looks so nice because there are no radio presets on the front panel so there is more to deal with in the internal menu and it's very confusing and too complicated to do safely while driving,
Other than that menu thing, the machine is awesome and outperforms anything I've had previously.

This detachable face Pioneer sounds better than anything else I've ever had in my car! I'm serious, I love how it sounds. Very clear high and low registers and a powerful midrange. It has all the inputs you could ever need and iPod direct control. Has front auxiliary and usb inputs, and of course can play your CD's. The max power output in 4 X 50W and it even has 3, 4-volt rca preamp outputs for ya.
Did I mention it looks amazing, too?
The kit comes with a wiring harness, installation hardware and a users manual, so the brave can attempt to wire it themselves. It's actually not too hard at all.
This is what would have made me take off two stars if there were stars involved: it mentions in the description that it is blue tooth ready, but what it means to say is that it's ready for you to go out and buy more of their hardware so that you can use the bluetooth. Uuuughhh so annoying (also not HD radio... need more hardware :(
Nice sound though. great product other than that!

This is a great light scratch remover.... not designed for anything super deep or anything, but will certainly help on those smaller scratches (if you have deep scratches that need to be dealt with, get a paint restoration kit or take it in to a professional!).
It's an all weather, high gloss goo with no solvents.... so it's not really for cleaning or anything, but will bring those small scratches out and shine up your paint.
Like I said, not for deep scratches, but this stuff is amazing and really works on small ones! It kind of evens out the paint in and around the scratch, so although there is still a scratch there, you can't even tell!

i think anyone who owns a vehicle owes it to themselves to keep one of these in their trunk. It's an amazing thing to have around in case of emergencies! It's basically like having a massive rechargeable battery in your car - you can jump cars (under 8 cyl.), use it to charge and run your portable electronic devices (cell phones, laptops), it has a flashlight... this one even has an air compressor, although it's really only designed for like bike tires and small air mattresses. It will even charge on your cig. lighter as you drive.
MUST READ: if you do get one of these, make sure you periodically charge it fully, because it will slowly lose it's charge and eventually die completely through a process known as sulfurization unless you keep it charged!

So this stuff is only designed for black cars, but I had so much success with it I just had to recommend it here. They describe it as a product that will bring a 'wet' shine to your car. This sounded a little gross to me at first and made me a little skeptical, but I tried it anyway because a friend had recommended it to me.... and boy i am glad I gave it a chance! This system really works for black cars, and I'll be using it for a while now.
It's a three part system, including a pre wax cleaner, a black wax, and a black detail spray.
The wax itself is infused with black dye or something, which some people say is a sham that doesn't work, but in my experience it works wonderfully. The pre cleaner removes all surface contaminants and brings a healthy clean shine to my car, and the wax makes those tiny paint chips that are so annoying disappear right in front of your eyes.
This is a great system that does exactly what they say it will!
Watch out though... tends to be a pretty messy process, so find a place where you don't mind getting some wax and stuff on the ground!

Man this is a rugged, easy to install carrier perfect for a whole list of scenarios... for travelling, hunting, camping, biking... everything. I easily mounted it on my jeep cherokee and it made my camping trips like 100X better. I can bring everything could ever need, and feel confident that my gear will be safe. That's what I don't like about the rooftop racks... I don't ever feel like my stuff is safely secured up there, especially at high speeds with all that wind. No wind worries with this guy. When it's on my vehicle, I don't even notice that it's there.
It also has a really cool feature where the extension bar is reversible and angled, so you can turn it around at it will raise the whole thing up a few inches. This awesome for off roading or even just making certain clearances like steep driveways.
It has a sturdy, steel mesh bottom and the whole thing has a weather resistant powder coat finish. I will say that it's not as heavy duty as it looks in the picture... I would say it's more like a medium duty carrier. But thats is all I need out of it.
I would definitely recommend purchasing some serious ratcheting straps to tie down your stuff securely!

Here is another example of a great pioneer navigation system whose only faults actually lie in the navigation aspect of the machine! It's really awesome almost all the way around. The 5.8" LCD screen is really pretty, at a 800 X 480 res. Not a lot compared to your average flatscreen tv, but it looks great as an in dash unit. It comes equipped with bluetooth technology which is great for me... I can't talk on the phone and drive without hurting someone!!! It has AVIC feeds... one of the best features for me or anyone who enjoys long road trips. See, you can create custom trips on here and add your own points of interest, taking the worry out of resetting your destination all the time.
Another great feature this thing has is that it's very much iPhone compatible, and you can actually search directions on your iPhone via google maps, then transfer this info to your pioneer, and BAM! you've got your directions. Way easier than trying to type on that touchscreen, as far as I'm concerned.
The sound quality is pretty good, but it only uses a 3 band equalizer, so it obviously has its limitations.
It's supposed to have voice control software, to where I can say an address or p.o.i. out loud and it will find it for me, but it tends to have a tough time registering what I'm actually saying.
Also, in terms of navigation, I think it works pretty well. However, one thing I will say is that it doesn't tell you what side of the street your destination is on, which can certainly add some confusion to what is usually already a confusing situation!

if you are patient enough to actually instal this thing correctly yo willbe very happy with the end result! But installation is tough.... get it done by someone who knows what they're doing (maybe that's you!). As far as over all quality and ease of use, this is a great machine. The thing is made for easy connection with iPhone through a USB port, and sounds pretty nice with my iphone through its 13 watt internal amp. It does all it's A/V input through USB, and has a secure digital card slot as well. It also comes rearview camera capable, although you would have to buy the camera.
The interface is super easy and simple to use. it has 11 million preprogrammed points of interest, so finding the nearest gas station is a breeze, even without a smart phone!
It's also compatible with jensen bluetooth adapters, which are not included.
My only complaint, as is always the case with gps units I've had, is they don't seem to do very well in the city... they tend to get lost very easily. Anyone know why this is, or have any advice as to how to get rid of this problem? Because when I am in the city in when I need it most, and this is when it performs the worst :(

This is just an amazing pack all the way around. If you are ready to get serious about backpacking, this is what you need!! It's just so well thought out. It has a 76L top load main compartment that can also be accessed from front and bottom zippers. It has a precurved waistbelt with a pivoting suspension system that sits on your hips and swivels with your body for a smooth, balanced experience. It has a reservoir sleeve and a drink tube. It has crossover compression straps to strap that puppy on, and water resistant zippers and a whole mile long list of other features, including tons of pockets.
It's really comfortable and easily adjustable and overall the best backpack ever!

I have this piano in my little 'studio' I have set up in my music room (when I say I have it, I mean I stole it from my girlfriend cuz she never ever uses it...) and, though it's obviously no titan of piano engineering, it works pretty well for my purposes. I use it mostly as a midi controller to input notes onto garage band, and for that it is perfect. It easily connects to my computer via USB and gets the job done.
It has lots of different voices and decent built in speakers. It is only 76 keys and is made of cheapy cheap plastic, but it just sits there so there's no real danger of damaging it.
I would say it's a good beginner or dorm room keyboard, but no more than that!

I have these set up in my loft style apartment, a pretty recent purchase actually, and thus far am very much satisfied. In general they sound great, music more so than movies. I say this because the lower frequency dialogue, like when a man is talking in a serious, quiet scene, it becomes very muddy and at worst inaudible. I'm sure there is some sort of setting or equalizing I could do to fix this problem, but I haven't figured it out yet.
Music on the other hand, sounds awesome. The 8" subwoofer really delivers some nice tones and satellites are nice, too.
Sometimes I wish I could get more sound out of it, but you get what you pay for!
In case you're interested in stats, the satellites center speaker each have a 2.5" woofer and 1/2" tweeter in there, and the woofer uses 100w. They also have employed a new technology they call Advanced Yamaha Active Servo. Basically it is designed to lower impedance levels by communicating between the speakers and amplifier.
I would suggest this to the budget conscious movie lover.

I want to put in my two cents worth... i bought this for my girlfriend because i knew she needed another one but I didn't want to spend a fortune. She loves it! She has only moderately thick hair, so nothing super tough to deal with, but it certainly gets the jobs done in a timely manner...which is good for me! It has ceramic plates and heats up to operating temp in I would say under 30 seconds.
It has adjustable temperature settings, is super lightweight, and even came in a little carry bag. I think it's great for her hair, but judging by the size and feel of it, I would guess it's not designed for seriously coarse or curly hair.

This is a super easy to use flash memory camcorder that you should check out! I am very happy with mine thus far. It basically has all the functions you would expect at this price range, like 10X optical zoom, optical image stabilization, 1920 X 1080 hi def video, and the really handy face detect technology that somehow can find pretty much every human face in the picture and instantly deal with things like washed out skin and focus problems
It's compatible with all SD and SDHC memory cards.
Yeah so it's got all those features like all the other ones, but the thing I think makes it special is the zoom mic. It somehow really does zoom in with the lens to increase your audio clarity as you get closer. I love this for filming my band and friends bands playing live... it's a great feature!

These glasses are as cool as they look. They are extremely lightweight and 99.9% UV protectant. The wrap around style is of the highest importance and effectively shields your eyes from debris. Very comfortable with their cushioned brow protection for all day shootin' fun.

This is a great way to get into Indian cuisine without over complicating things. Only uses the simplest recipes with recognizable spices like cayenne pepper and cumin, to gently guide you into this different world of flavors. These recipes are fast and easy and delicious. My favorite part is the marinades....Mmmmm I use them on everything now!

These are a great casual shin guard because they slide into your sock rather than strap all around your ankle and calf. They are made of polypropylene, a really hard plate material. These are lightweight and perfect for your needs!

This is a very easy and affordable way to record directly onto your computer, whether it be garage band or protools. It's nice because no external devies are needed... no converters or anything. It even has its own pre amp. Also has a gold studded diaphragm, which is supposed to help with versatility of volume and timbres.
The only drawback with this mic is that it doesn't have an XLR output, so it's really only useful for computer work and usb inputs, not live performance.

This is a fantastic set for a beginner because it has everything you need, even a pot, which can be used on raised electric and gas burners. The kit does everything it should and has all the parts you need.... but no directions! This is tough for the beginner. At least you have the internet, which is a great tool for problems like this.
Be careful when canning because it does involve boiling hot water and putting cans in and out of it. Don't worry, though, tongs are included.
Oh yeah.... don't forget that just like all of these home canning kits you need to bring your own jars!

Crankbaits are a surefire way to attract some bass to your line. These in particular are nice because they are holographic and shimmer and shine in the water, a key component to catching a bass, large, small and any in between! They also rattle which can help a lot too.
These would be good for shallow to medium depth fishing.

The best soccer ball can only be determined by the size of the child... but a regulation size ball is size 5. This one is a 4 which might be a good choice, but they get smaller, too, so make sure you find one that isn't going to be a struggle for your child to kick!
Wilson makes a pretty nice ball. I've been playing soccer recreationally my whole life and have used a lot of these.

If you need a seriously thick, warm sock, the search is over! Say hello to Canada's best selling wool sock... and if the canadiens don't know about staying warm then who does? This is a really warm sock. I have a couple pairs in different varieties, and like them all equally. This is their most popular variety, but hey have tons of others to chose from, depending on what you're into. My only warning with these socks is, like I said earlier, they are really thick, so make sure you have a shoe that can handle it.

I always keep a box of these around. Now, as for their complete waterproofing capabilities, I can't say that i do any water sports or deep sea diving or anything crazy like that, so I don't know how effective they would be for that sort of thing.... although I don't think they are designed with anything like that in mind!
I can tell you that they definitely stay on with no problem when I wash my hands and shower and stuff.

The Dahon is about as close as you can get to a real bike with the advantages of a fold up. This is a very solid bicycle that you can actually basically ride as hard as a full size bike. Obviously it feels different and there are some disadvantages, but I'll get to that later.
It has seven gears, adjustable height handle bars and seat, rear carry rack, nice brakes, and folds up rather easily to an astonishing 24". This is a great space saver in my little apartment. The frame is comparable to a full size bike in its durability, but also in its weight. I like it though, because I like to ride hard and don't want to have to worry about my bike not being able to keep up with me!
The disadvantages are that it's wheels are quite small, resulting in a rather bumpy ride, and, even though it is small and portable, it is still a fully functional bike, so it's pretty heavy.
Way better than getting your bike stolen all the time, though, and better than a lot of mass transit options! I recommend getting one for any city dweller.

This is a somewhat scary looking tool, but believe me it works wonders! I have a dog that sheds incessantly so I have to keep up on my brushing. Every swipe of this brush yields like a pound of hair, and there's no paddle so it doesn't get matted in there... it just falls right off! I think this type of brush is generally used for horses? Or at least it was originally designed for horses? I don't know, that's what someone told me.

I just bought this for my home projects. I don't use a hammer anymore...ever! It's perfect for home use, with it's compact, somewhat lightweight design. Can shoot framing nails from 2" - 3.5" with a driving action of 70 - 120 psi...enough to get you through just about any natural or manufactured wood.
the only complaint I have is that of the nail loading variety. See, the nails have to be loaded at the very bottom of the gun, and the nail magazine is completely closed (you can see in the picture), so it can get jammed occasionally when the nail housing tries to discharge. Not a regular problem, but happens occasionally.

I am so pleased with this shower head. I bought it to replace my old crap one, and I, too, wanted to make it rain. It does a great job and is a very high quality build. The thing is 8 inches wide and boasts 120 nozzles (you can't tell in the pic, but they're really small in the holes you can see here).
My only negative thing to say about it is that it doesn't come with a an arm or flange, so you have to buy these things separately from the manufacturer. This is ridiculous to me, because what good tis the head without the arm, but whatever. It will get pretty pricey, so if you're on a tight budget you might want to shop around...

This is a really nice gps/heart rate monitor unit. It's designed more for cycling, but can be used for a variety of sports and has a very accurate heart rate monitor. It's always important to get the wrap around chest monitor if you are looking for a really accurate heart rate count. This unit is nice because the screen is a little bigger and easy to see. It tracks distance, time, calories, and has gps capabilities!

This might be too similar to what you already have, but it's a pretty cool little bike for a little tike. It has a 12 volt rechargeable battery and can go 2.5 or 5 mph. Pretty slow, but good for youngsters. My little cousin has one and he cruises all over his backyard. Mostly on the grass, but it can handle a little dirt! Also has reverse, crucial to getting out of those sticky off-roading situations :)

With this product you can sprinkle a little layer of what i like to call 'pest death dust' around your house in the places you think spiders are coming in or creepin' around. They walk in the dust and it successfully neutralizes them for good.
Comes with an attachment to get tp those hard to reach areas'too.

This is a nice option for protection and under water use. The pouch is a roll and velcro style bag that is completely waterproof. It comes with a lens on the pouch so you can take picture while the camera is inside. It's tested up to 16 feet underwater, and it even floats!
No more worrying about getting that thing wet at the amusement park or on the kayak trip!

I think a box fan is always the way to go for a couple of reasons. It's nice to be able to put it in your window and pull air in or blow it out, depending on my needs. It helps me regulate the temperature of my apartment. This is a really nice 20" 3 speed fan that moves quite a bit of air.
I also like it's portability. It has a handle on top, so it's super easy to move around when I need it in other rooms. It doesn't oscillate, obviously, but that's not a problem to me, personally.

This would be a really nice addition to any black bedroom set. I actually have one in my room, but my bedroom set isn't black. It's totally minimalist and stays out of your way. Has a beautiful nickel finish on the steel pole, and the shade is made of polyester.
I will say, it's not very tall for a floor lamp. I imagined it at least a foot taller (it's only like four feet tall). It hasn't been a problem for me, but I thought I should warn the unsuspecting public!

I like these automatic spray fresheners. No hassle, you don't ever have to think about it, just set it there and let it do it's thing. This isn't a plug in, so you aren't confined to finding an outlet. Set it anywhere or mount it on the wall, choose a setting (it can spray every 9, 18, or 36 minutes, and also has a manual spray button) and breath in that fresh air!
These are awesome and really do eliminate odor, but I have two suggestions. First of all, don't set it anywhere near your toothbrush! Mine was a little too close I guess and one time I went to use my toothbrush and it tasted strongly of chemicals... disgusting. Had to buy a new brush. Also, when the thing sprays it can be a little startling, so don't but it in your bedroom or anything where you're trying to get silence. Great product, though!

This is a really nice book light.... top of its class! It had a nice and bright LED light that they claim will never burn out... I don't know if that's possible, but that's what they say. The gooseneck is really flexible and easily adjustable and it runs on 3 AAA batteries.
My favorite little feature is that it can stand on its own... doesn't need to be clipped to a book. So it's very useful for other needs as well, especially on my nightstand at night when I just need a little light to find something!

Obviously this is slightly different than your average elliptical machine, but I thought I would suggest it because it's a nice alternative and is very similar and quite inexpensive. This is technically called a glider, and it's more of an all body work out. It doesn't have any resistance levels, which is my only qualm. You have to work out pretty hard to really feel it... but you definitely feel it after a while... it really burns.
Like I said there's no pre programmed routines or resistance levels, so it's basically you vs. yourself.It tracks your speed, distance, time, etc. You might have to buy a dvd to go along with it to motivate you!
All in all it's pretty nice for the money, but it's not going to push you super hard.

It may not be the fanciest looking thing around, but I think its classic design is what makes this food processor so charming and desirable. In addition to chopping, dicing, shredding and pulsing, this processor also can knead dough for you! The extra wide food tube is easy to make anything fit into, and it even comes with a custom spatula and cookbook.
My only qualm is that the capacity is quite low... only 7 cups. This is pretty small amongst processors, but oh well. you can't win 'em all!

You gotta have a jack if you're gonna be rompin' and you gotta strap that thing in tight or it's gonna bounce around like crazy! If you don't already have one, you should pick up a jack mount. It's functional and looks good.
I think the whole point of accessorizing a jeep is to make it look as rugged as possible and this is definitely a nice touch!

Manhasset is like the standard for music stands. You see them in every practice room in the country! This is a portable-ish version of the practice room stand. It has nice little fold up legs, but the stand part that the music sits on is medal and pretty heavy. They put folding legs on the old design, and called it portable! And it is pretty portable, like it fits just fine in my car and is easy enough to take around to gigs with me. But it's not super light or small... mostly heavy and durable.

This is a nice carrier for dogs up to 22 lbs. I like this style as opposed to a hard kennel type because it seems much more comfortable and humane for my four legged friend. It has mesh walls that keep it open and breezy. You can also roll up the sides so no one can see in and your pet can't see out. The shoulder strap is key with this bag. It provides a very easy way to carry your pet around like a duffle bag. Make sure you measure your dog's body length before ordering, though. He could weigh 20 lbs. but still be too long for this bag!

If you are looking for something completely different and a little quirky, check out Flight of the Conchords. This comedy duo from New Zealand has a very unique style of comedy that is somewhat dry but also outrageous. They're just delightful, as the play two members of a two person band trying to make it in New york with their crappy songs and horrible agent, Murray, who might be the funniest character in the show.

These are awesome kayaking specific vests. It is kind of pricey but totally worth it, because you need to have quality gear when you're 'yakin. Has an easy to use front zipper, and large pockets with drainage. Also utilizes a cross chest cinch, so that it doesn't ride up as you paddle. This is also better for flotation. I love mine and use it whenever I boat!

Never thought I'd be passionate about a toilet bowl cleaner, but this stuff is really radical! I guess I just like it because I don't have to really do any scrubbing or anything. I mean once in a long while there's a little build up that I have to deal with, but for the most part it's just always clean. They give you a little wand to apply the gel disc to the inside of your toilet bowl in a discreet location, and that's it! You're done!

If you are serious about your coffee (or use French press) you gotta get a burr grinder! This type of grinder is generally considered to be the best way to grind coffee (not this model necessarily, just the burr style). This one in particular has 14 grind settings, ranging from super fine to super coarse. This is very important if you plan on using a French press, as the coarseness is paramount to a successful brew. Too fine a grind will make you end up with a bunch of nasty coffee sediment at the bottom....gross. Too coarse and you don't get the flavor. This unit also has timed grinding so you can get the proper grind and proper amount of bean. Bodum makes some nice stuff at an affordable price...check this thing out!

What a great product fot a great price! You can combine all those annoying remotes into one... this one. It's really easy to do, too. You don't have to find or input any codes, which is by far my favorite part. It will find your tv code with its 'quick program mode' and will find you other devices through its 'scroll through codes' option. That was always the worst part, was trying to deal with all those codes... that's why I never dealt with it and ended up with 4 remotes. Also, it's easy to use and navigate around this remote, and lights up for easy night time use as well.

I love making paninis.... I use this thing all the time. It's not super fancy or anything, and doesn't unfold or have removable cooking plates or anything, but it makes one hell of a panini.... which is all I need it for. It doesn't have a temperature adjustment, but if you just plan on making paninis and other hot sandwiches you don't need it. This machine will cook your panini perfectly every time. It also has a floating lid for height adjustment, depending on the thickness of your sammy.

Singer is a really old, trusted brand of sewing machines and accessories. This one in particular is great for beginners and people who are interested in simple sewing procedures. It has 23 different stitch patterns, 1 step buttonhole (a nice feature for such a machine), and is really easy to thread... even has a drop in bobbin and automatic needle threader. It can't really do any advanced procedures, like embroidering or anything, but it is a really high quality, rugged machine that will definitely keep you sewing for years and years.

This would be a sweeeeet gift for your boy! Dart are super fun and easy to learn, and you guys can have some friends over for a coupla beers and play some darts. It's a very social game. You gotta buy some darts, too, and find a place to hang it where the missed shots aren't gonna put a bunch of holes in your wall!

I think this would be a great option for you, but only if you are into a more modern look, like me! This is a beautiful fan... I've actually gotten lots of compliments on mine since I had it installed. My favorite is, "wow it looks like a propeller" because that's what I thought! What drew me to it at first was the energy star rating, and the simple modern lines just sold it to me... it adds a nice touch to my living room. It's not made of stainless or anything (like it looks). It's actually a plywood laminate, painted aluminum blade. This doesn't come with any lights or switches or anything, so keep that in mind when shopping!

If you are going for shear safety, I would suggest this cable/U-lock combo. It's a great thief deterrent to have two separate locks - because to a thief this means twice the work and twice the time. The U-lock is 11mm thick and the 4 foot cable is 10mm thick. It would take a lot of effort to remove both of these items from your bike! I will say, though, these things are kind of heavy and bulky. If you have a long or strenuous trip to work, you might want to consider a lighter, more portable option.

Obviously you won't be growing canned veggies...although that would be cool! Try growing some tomatillos. They are an excellent choice for a southern California summer time, as they are pretty resilient to sunlight and you don't have to water them every day... only when the soil is completely dry. They are over all fun and easy to grow, can be grown in pots, and can be used for salsas, jams and jellies. Yummy!

This grill is better than cooking on a full sized grill! Ok... maybe not quite, but it really cooks. The stainless steel burner puts out 12,000 BTU's of shear searing heat. It's really durable and solid, and has a stainless steel lid. The twist star ignition and temperature gauge make using it simple, and it's basically ready to go directly from the box. Over all just very high quality in every way. Get's really hot, really fast. My only gripe is that it is a tabletop grill, and it's kind of hard to find a good place to put it and have it accesible but out of the way.

My mom gave me this book when I expressed an interest in astrology, claiming it was the only astrology book I would ever need. Well I've definitely bought a couple more since then, but this is still my favorite. It's a very interesting read, and is especially useful for relating to other similar issues, like karma and the 'energy of the planet', if you believe in that stuff. Even if you don't though, and just want to learn about astrology, this is a good bet. It will actually make you knowledgeable about astrology, rather than just giving you a daily update or random fact about your astrological sign. become an expert! Read this book! It's the last one you'll ever need!

I think a black coat is always the most professional look. It screams, "I want to run this company some day!" Black coats just seem more sleek and sophisticated to me, especially with black pants and a nice tie. I really like the two button look... it elongates the torso of the jacket a little, compared to the one button, but doesn't look as fancy-shmancy as the 3 button.

Okay, right off the bat, this isn't going to be the longest lasting grill ever. BUT, you said you needed to hike a mile or two to your site, and you certainly don't want something heavy or bulky, especially with all the other picnic stuff you'll need! This grill only weighs 8 pounds and folds up into a compact 'notebook' shape. It is super easy to set up and use and is about as simple and portable as a grill can get. It is a charcoal grill, so you will need some charcoal/lighter fluid. There were only two problems that arose for me: the paint peeled a little bit when it got real hot, and there are holes in the bottom that the charcoal dust falls out of... so you have to be very careful where you set it up! All in all I'm very happy with it (otherwise I wouldn't recommend it!), but ii obviously isn't the fanciest of grills!

I love the show CSI, and this game is pretty cool as far as Who-Dun-It games go. I'm pretty sure it has like 5 or 6 crimes to solve, and you can use your "kit" and dust for finger prints and collect samples. It's pretty fun.... but also kind of easy to solve the crimes, so if you are a real CSI buff, it may be too elementary for you.

What could be better on a Wii than first person swordfighting AND ridiculous gun battles? Answer: absolutely freakin nothing. That's why I suggest this game to any wii owner who needs a little action in their lives. Your character is 'the swordsman' and you avenge the fall of some clan in this epic battle of the century game!

This thing is great for light backyard trimming. Definitely not for cutting down trees or anything. But I use it for trimming braches and cleaning up hedges and stuff. It's really good for that and it's nice that it is electric. Speaking of which... the 18 V battery is good for up to 150 medium diameter cuts...plenty for my backyard, but as I said, not designed for heavy cutting.

Weaver's Coffee is awesome! This guy (Mr. Weaver) studied coffee with some big names in the biz and came up with this nice blend of fair trade beans. It was actually named 'best organic coffee' on the today show... that's how I heard about it!

This got really good reviews online for whitening ability, so I thought I would give it a try. I'd like to say I have noticed a difference... but that could just be wishful thinking! But it definitely feels like it's working, and that is a good sign to me. I drink a lot of coffee and this stuff feels like it's fighting back against the stains!

You should spoil the heck outta that dog and get this memory foam mattres! However, that being said, I firmly believe that you should only buy this for your dog if you, too, sleep on memory foam. Never should a dog have better sleeping conditions than you!

I like the fact that the handle is steel, but never gets hot. The non-stick coating is awesome, but like all non stick pans, you have to be careful not to scratch the coating! It can be kind of delicate, and you don't want that coating flaking off in your food..

I personally don't believe in spending more than 20 bucks on a pair of sunglasses because they will inevitably get lost anyway! Especially if you have an active lifestyle. These are super simple and cheap, but still comfortable and effective... they even have polarized lenses for both UVA and UVB protection.

Obviously this is double the price you wanted, but if you need extra space you might as well get a lot of it. 500 gb isn't huge but it's enough for me. I think that's the key, though, is deciding how much you are going to use it. This unit isn't designed for super heavy use. Some reviews say the thing gets so hot the glue starts to loosen a little. This hasn't been my experience, but like I said I am not a heavy user.

So I know you said you wanted four speakers, but bare with me. If you are seeking the highest sound quality, I think bose is where it's at. And if you're rockin some bose speakers, you really only need two! I don't know how big your room is, but this system was certainly designed for no larger than a midsize room, any larger and the sound may get lost. The universal remote is a really nice feature... you can consolidate all of your remotes that are floating around and use this ting for everything. The speakers and woofer are really sleek and elegant. Some say the woofer isn't powerful enough, but I really think it all has to do with room size.

These are all pretty similar, just with little features that set them slightly apart... depending on your needs. This one has a lithium battery, which means it won't slowly die and rip your beard hairs out slowly! Lithium batteries go full blast until they die abruptly.

I would agree that acoustic is definitely a better way to learn guitar. No crazy sound effects, cords, pedals or amps... just getting to know your guitar, straight up! BUT, I understand the beginner's need to rock out and be a rock star and play really loud. So, with that person in mind, I recommend these Peavey Sunbursts. It was my first electric (but I learned on acoustic!) and is a pretty nice instrument. It's great for beginners because it comes with everything you need to get started and even shows you how to set everything up. Rock on!

The biggest problem with helmets (especially for kids) is that they aren't worn correctly, making them completely useless. That's why you've got to get your kid one of these! These helmets have a back-of-the-head placement assistant that puts the helmet exactly in the right place every time, ensuring your child is wearing it correctly.

I always recommend canon products... just because I was raised on them. This is a decent beginner's lens that is nice because it has canon's Image Stabilization technology... great for a beginner's hands! It's all plastic, though, so be extra careful out in the field...

This PA is an even more powerful version of the already thunderous Stagepas 300. Everything you could need to start a band...
2 speakers, each with a 10" woofer
250 watts per speaker
4 mono channels - each with xlr and 1/4" jacks
2 stereo channels - each with 1/4" and RCA jacks (so you can hook up keys, too)
Great sound quality and impressive right out of the box.... treat yourself to these and you won't be looking for a new PA anytime soon.

This lens is similar to the EF S-17 in a lot of ways. The main reason I like this particular lens, though, is the superb wide angle capabilities in my landscape shooting. It's water resistant and durable as hell, which is nice when in rough environments. I also feel like I get truer, more realistic colors on this lens than on any others I've used... maybe that's just me, though!

It's kiiiiiiind of expensive, but you asked for the best. I do a ton of outdoor photography and get some amazing shots in my travels. I need a printer that can keep up with me and capture the colors that I want. Oh man, this is the one. Very professional prints, outstanding picture quality, and will definitely impress!

Either of these Vizios would be ideal for your situation. You can pick up a wall mount at Ikea for $20, and the necessary HDMI cable (if you want to stream movies wirelessly) for like $30 at Walmart. I have a Vizio (and have owned other flat screen brands in the past) and can honestly say I like Vizio the best.

Ok so it's an inch narrower than you wanted, but vizio makes an amazing television, and picture quality prevails over size in the TV world, as far as I'm concerned. I have this T.V. hanging on my wall and it looks super sleek... and was easy to hang. It has an ambient lighting feature that adjusts to the room light, giving you optimal viewing at all times, which is perfect in my apartment, where the only mountable wall is opposite two large windows. The cables in back are easily accessible and easy to hook up to my receiver. Vizio rocks!

Top flight has a rich history of great products, and the XL set is no exception... especially at this price! For the beginner to amatuer golfer, I would highly recommend these clubs. The 460 cc titanium composite driver has an exceptionally large sweet spot, and I immediately noticed a more controlled, straighter shot upon using it. Including 13 clubs (with two 4H and 5H hybrids) and a stand alone bag, the set is great for beginners.
