is there an adapter for older FD lenses for canon's dslr 60d under $150?
  Fotodiox PRO Lens Mount Adapter - Canon FD, New FD, FL Lens to Cano...
Well....
According to reviewers this will work for those old FD lenses to a 60d. The only complaint (and I am not sure if this is something you can work around?) is that the extra piece of glass is going to yield slightly less sharp pics. Other than that it works as advertised.

Suggestions for the best countertop blender for juicing under $50?
  Hamilton Beach 54227
I think this would be a good one for juicing. It is designed for pureeing and juicing and stuff... even has a pour spout on top so you won't make a mess trying to pour. Has a large 40ounce pitcher and stainless steel base and blades.
Hamilton beach is a great name for blenders, by the way. This will be a great purchase and should last quite a long time.

Best mouse for carpal tunnel?
  Whirl Laser Mouse with Anti-Gravity Comfort Pivot - Black
These are supposed to be awesome for such purposes. Very gentle on the wrists, and highly rated too.
It works similar to a joystick, but is shaped like a mouse. It reduces stress because you're not moving your arm and wrist all around, just gently tilting it to control where it goes. I recommend at least trying it, might be perfect!

Best USB wired mouse for my wrist pain?
  USB Black Comfi Ergonomic Mouse By Ergoguys
This would be a great choice for you, provided your hands aren't too big! Reviewers seem to really like the shape and feel of it (it has the ergo vertical design which is easy for your wrist to handle) but say it is slightly on the small side. Cool design though, and I think it's worth a shot.

  Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX
Hi Charles. I think buying from this company is always a good idea. They put a lot of thought into their products and usually come up with something great.
This mouse is no exception. it's perfect for travel because of its small size, wireless capabilities, and ability to track on almost any surface.

What keyboard for a software developer has the best action?
  Das Keyboard Model S Professional
This would be a good option for you. I think a mechanical keyboard would be the way to go for software development. No ghosting, you can press multiple keys at once. It's noisy... one of those tactile keyboards. Great for software developers or really anyone who needs to type a lot. They are comfortable to type on and the action is wonderful.

What is the fastest all-in-one photo printer?
  Canon PIXMA MG8220
Hey Shelly, Here's a super fast all-in-one that absolutely excels at printing photos. It is a little on the expensive side, but you really won't find a much faster printer, so if you if you need high quality prints (and you need them fast) this is the way to go!
It has a B&W print speed of about 12.5 ppm and can print a 4X6 photo in 20 seconds, which makes it one of the fastest in this category. Add to this its 9600 x 2400 maximum color dpi and 6 different ink cartridges and you have yourself a professional, fast as hell printing machine.

What is the best of the micro 4/3 cameras?
  Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G3 16 MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens...
Here you go Doug. A great four thirds camera from Panasonic, with a fantastic lens.
It's a 16-megapixel compact mirrorless system and this one includes a 4-42mm Lumix f/3.5-5.6 lens. It can shoot HD video (1080p) too. These are really cool because you can get dslr quality shots, but being mirrorless they can make them much smaller.
It has a swivel LCD screen which is a great feature especially for filming, as it gives you a little flexibility.
Very nice camera, highly suggested.

Seems like this would be perfect for you, and it's not even that expensive. With programming it's more about seeing top-to-bottom then side-to-side, so it's important to get yourself a pivoting monitor. This one pivots, as you can see in the pictures on the link, and it also has excellent resolution (full HD, 1080p) so reading will be easy. This is perfect for the avid programmer!

I need a solid Digital SLR camera, new to photography but I have been told I take great pics with the little resources I have! under $500?
  Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S D...
I personally think Nikon's d3100 is the ultimate beginner dSLR (sorry that it's a bit over budget!). It is great for a beginner because it has some easy to use features, but is also high enough quality to be used for profesional shots, especially with the right lens.
It's up to you to figure out if you like Nikon's optics or Canon's better. I personally prefer Nikon, but that's probably just because I am more familiar with it.
Some features you might like as a beginner include:
-14.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor. The CMOS sensor is generally better for beginners (compared to CCD) because it is a bit more forgiving with light and focus.
-Easy-To-Use Nikon Guide Mode with intuitive controls and on-board assistance
-Scene Auto Selector....Lets the camera decide the best mode to match the shooting situation
-6 Automatic Exposure Scene Modes... just set the Mode dial to the appropriate scene (portrait, sports, whatever) and the camera will set itself up for the right settings
-Includes 3x 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR VR Image Stabilization lens
It can also shoot 1080p full HD. This thing is great. You will love it.

My husband is searching for headsets with good quality bass.
  iFrogz EarPollution Timbre with Mic - Light
You should consider these guys. They feature a natural wood chamber which allows for a big, free, resonate sound. Bass will sound sooo good and full.
Generally people agree that these offer excellent sound quality - from low to high frequencies -and that their only downfall is an inherent part of their design.... they are wooden, so they are a little delicate.
You can expect great sound from these!

what is the best phone?
This is a tough question that I don't think can be answered with the generalization of "the best phone period." Much like asking "What is the best vehicle" or "what is the best computer" the answer will be different for every person individually, because everyone has different needs. Most smart phones these days perform pretty competitively in terms of service, sound, and quality, so picking the right phone comes down to what features you want.
For me, iPhone 4 is perfect. I don't require the customization options or rooting that can be done with Droid phones. I just want something that is simple to use, fast, fun, and functional. (iPhone puts the FUN in functional....ha ha)
Maybe if you listed some features that are important to you we could give you a specific answer!

Family reunion coming up, what's a good camera for day/night shooting under $1000?
  Nikon D5100 16.2MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 A...
I think this would be the best option in your price range. I am assuming you would like to get a camera and lens for under $1000.... I would also recommend a Pentax K-5, but the body itself is $999.
The D5100 will be an excellent low light camera. With a 16.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 2 image processing it will shoot very effective, low-noise shots from ISO 100 to 6400.

Just make sure to practice beforehand so you don't miss any of those precious moments!!!

What is the best camera for a beginner who wants excellent band shots under $500?
  Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens...
No way you could go wrong with this guy, and it's totally within your budget.
Great for low light shots for sure.
-ISO range of 100 - 6400
-12.2 MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor = high speed, high quality, low noise!

I realize you are a beginner, but this camera will help you become a better photographer. It even has an in camera guide to help you learn how to use it better, and help you pick the right scene mode for the conditions in which you are shooting. This is directly from the Amazon link, and gives you an idea of how it will help you as a young photographer:
"For beginners looking to expand their photographic horizons, the EOS Rebel T3 offers Creative Auto mode. While basic settings are based on full automatic operation, shooting guides on the LCD screen enable you to make corrections based on simple to follow guidelines. In essence, with Creative Auto mode, you can learn about photography while taking stunning photographs."

In the under $50 category I would totally recommend getting a sidewinder.
It looks so nice! It has programmable macro keys and backlit keys. It also has anti-ghosting technology, where you can press up to 26 keys simultaneously without ghosting. Pretty cool. It feels nice to the touch and the action is great. Seriously looks cool though, especially in the dark... it like glows deep red.

What is the best camera for low light shots under $1000?
  Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imagi...
I would think this would be an excellent choice for you. This is a very highly rated camera in all categories, especially including low light shooting.
ISO is probably the most important factor with low light shooting... that and a sensor that can actually handle the information. With its CMOS Image Sensor and ISO 100 – 6400 (expandable to 12800), you will be perfectly equipped for shooting in dim light.
With its DIGIC 4 Image Processor and massive 18. mp you will get some beautiful images on this thing.
For even better shooting, get yourself a nice lens for low light. Anything that can shoot f/2.8 should be sufficient.
I don't know how much you know about photography, but shooting in low light can be difficult, so do a little research to figure out the right settings for different situations. As soon as you can control ISO and shutter speed you can use it to your advantage and get the most of your camera.

What is a great blow dryer under $100?
  Andis 82005 1875 Watt Professional Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer, Black ...
This is a great semi-professional dryer. I say semi-pro because it has all the features of a pro dryer but not the high price. This, in turn, means the quality won't be as high as certain pro models but you should get a lot of good use out of it anyways.
It has some nice attachments (watch out though! they get hot!!!) and 4 speed/heat settings. Its 1875 watts will definitely provide enough power for you, and it has that ceramic technology which is supposed to distribute heat more evenly I guess?
Great deal for under $100...and it looks mighty fine as well!

Oh and I should add that part of the reason it looks so real is that the shape of it is a little uneven, no it looks more natural. I like that about it. Also, be ready to spend some time folding down all the branches to the right level because there are a lot of them!

  HP Photosmart 8750 Large-Format Professional Photo Printer (Q5747A#...
I think you need to consider large-format photo printers, assuming you're serious about your scrap booking.
Scrapbooks in general are larger than 8 1/2 X 11, so you want something that can print a whole page for you. You also want your memories to be captured as vividly as possible, thus the need for a quality photo printer... you will be able to print on photo paper and it will look like a real photograph.
This printer is pretty expensive, so if it's over your budget I would still recommend looking at large-format photo printers.
Ink for this printer is actually quite reasonably priced... at least cheaper than many other printers.
Happy scrapbooking!

What is the best computer microphone for singing?
  Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone
I have been having so much fun with this mic! Plugs right into your usb and you can record almost immediately. I'm pretty much an amateur, so I actually just use mine through garage band! But have recorded some really cool stuff.... at least I think it's cool.....
But cool or not, sound quality is what counts here, and this mic is awesome in that department. It is a condenser mic so it's quite sensitive to the sounds you throw at it. It's also very versatile, in that it can switch between different recording patterns so you can record vocals and live instruments with the same mic (at different times). Switch between cardioid, stereo, omnidirectional, and bidirectional patterns depending on what instrument you are trying to record.
One thing I have noticed with this mic is that it's great for my voice - sort of low and raspy - but needs some tweeking for brighter voices. My good girlfriend has a higher, brighter voice, and the levels had to be adjusted to make her voice sound right, and to highlight her higher tones without sounding tinny. As long as you're not afraid to do a little adjusting, I think this wil be a great mic for you!

What is the best remote control airplane?
  Firebird Commander 2 RTF Electric
A really fun plane to learn on! Although it's not perfect....
The same thing that makes it easy to use it what ends up making it difficult! see, all you really have is throttle and turning controls, so altitude control becomes an issue.
Figuring out how to control your altitude is the main thing you have to do the whole time the thing is in the air!
It's hard but you will get the hang of it and it is a lot of fun.
Give yourself a lot of room and a soft landing pad... a field is ideal.

What is the best non-stick pan?
  The 10" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri, with Smooth Ceramic Non-St...
Ok so admittedly this isn't the best pan of all time...certainly not a pro pan... but hey I'm not a pro cook. The reason I am recommending it to you is because there is so much talk about how bad nonstick pans are for you, because the chemicals get released into your food, and yadda yadda.
This pan has a ceramic coating that is completely 100% PTFE and PFOA free, so you don't have to worry about those harmful chemicals entering your body.
I have only owned mine for a month, but thus far it is working just fine, and the nonstick coating definitely is, well, nonstick. The handle is plastic and a little cheap feeling. The pan, as a whole, is great and you should buy one and avoid those nasty chemicals.

What is the best under eye cream?
  Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum, 0.5 Ounce (Packaging May Vary)
I would have to recommend the product I use... this here Olay regenerist.
Personally, I see great results with this stuff.
First off, let me just say that it's not magical, so it's not going to reverse the effects of aging or anything like that! Don't expect a miracle.
What you can expect is a nice moisturizing, soothing eye cream that not only feels luxurious to apply, but also noticeably tightens up the skin around your eyes. Also I think it evens out my skin tones a bit.
I would suggest taking this for a spin. I think you will be happy with the results!

King Kutter. It's tough and durable, and makes chopping up your veggies a pleasure instead of a pain.
You can chop up a massive amount of vegetables in no time! I have become the slaw queen, because it's especially great for making coleslaw.
But really anything you need to chop or slice, you can do with this machine.
I highly recommend it!

You can wear this forward or backwards.

What are the softest bath towels?
  Pinzon 800-Gram Bath Towel, White
I have had a lot of luck with these Pinzon bath towels, but I also have some complaints about them!
The good: they are ULTRA soft. Luxurious. Soft and fluffy and also very absorbant. As far as using the towel goes, no complaints.
The bad: they are quite heavy, especially when wet, and take FOREVER to dry. Like at least one full dryer cycle. Also, the care instructions don't really make sense...they say only wash in cold water with no bleach, so it seems they are impossible to clean! I just use a little detergent and they seem to be fine.
I think they are worth the steep price for the luxury they offer when I get out of my bath! A small luxury can go a long way.

I would have to suggest Vizio because it's my TV of choice. I think this is a fabulous TV and the picture quality is just amazing.
I was originally interested in it aesthetically - the color matched my living room scheme perfectly. I was happy to find that it very easily mounted on my wall and looks spectacular.
It's user friendly from start to finish. From the moment it comes out of the box it's easy to assemble and easy to start watchin. I need something simple because I am no tech genius. The assembly and set up directions are clear and right to the point.
The only thing I am not totally stoked about with this TV is the sound. It's ok, but sometimes quiet conversations are way too muffled to hear at all.
Overall I am happy.

as far as protection goes I would say that's the one area where this bag suffers... i wouldn't take my clubs on a plane in this bag because there simply isn't enough padding to make me feel safe about it. but for hitting the range it is absolutely perfect. this is a good one.

  ShouldersBack Posture Support - ShouldersBack Lite - Medium - Black
Hey Shelly you should try this out it really helped me at work. I stand all day at work and often find myself slouching. It happens completely unconsciously. All of a sudden I look in the mirror and I'm all hunched over. And then I notice it in my back later in the day... I FEEL like I've been hunched over all day and it's awful. This is a great way to pull those shoulders back and keep them there.
It's relatively comfortable... not obnoxious or anything, but you'll be aware of it. I don't use it everyday, but I would say 3 - 4 days a week, outfit allowing of course!
It definitely relieves back pain from hunching all day, so I suggest it for that reason. It's not something that I want to wear all the time for comfort and fashion reasons, but it's nice to have around for particularly painful days!

This is a good microwave in the under 50 dollar range. Surprisingly functional and hard working, also easy to use. There are just 2 dials on it (and they're non-digital), so as far as easy operation it's pretty much unsurpassed.
It takes up very little counter space and only draws 600w which is quite low.
Great for people who enjoy simplicities like me! I don't need a bunch of crazy features for my microwave! Just give me a time dial and a power level dial and I'm happy.
Works just like a microwave should, only easier.

This will do exactly what you want it for! This compound, when used right, will bring some life back to your old exterior, including small surface scratches like those a tree branch can create. Just make sure you follow the directions and do it right. It's not wax! You have to polish it all the way down until it shines. It's not a rub on, spray off type situation. You really got to get in there and polish - especially with tree branches... those can be rough. You're probably gonna have to do the whole car, because it will be noticeably different if you only do one area!
But this is a great product and it should work very well for you.

  Highland 1931100 Premium Glovebox Organizer
I have this one. It's cool, does what I want it to do, and that is hold my registration and stuff.
Folds over itself to close, has a couple of compartments inside, including a mesh one, which is nice because you can find the correct paper quickly.
I think all of these products are pretty much the same thing. They just hold some papers and some pens...nothing fancy.

What do ya'll think about those colored/patterned button ups with the white collar?
I believe those are called 'contrast collar' shirts and I agree with james in that they're usually pretty square looking. however, I have seen some very nice looking ones that I would call fashion forward - exactly the type of thing you would want to out in for the evening. Not my favorite style of all time, but if done right it can look really nice!

What is the best way to make my headlights bright again?
  3M Headlight Lens Restoration System
I had a lot of luck with this little kit... shined up my headlamps real good. They had a cloudy look to them after years of neglect, but this took care of it. Almost the perfect little product, but it does have a flaw that I will get to.
It's very simple to use, but remember that it does require the use of a house hold drill, that does not come with the kit.
Basically, it's just like five steps using 4 different drill heads. You sand with one, smooth out with another, buff with one, and polish with another this of course taping sufficiently around the headlight so as not to scrape up your car....step one. Actually I guess step one would be to clean the headlight with soap water... but anyways you follow the directions and it will polish those headlights right up.
The problem, however, is the darn pads are too big for some headlights. In the example, they use a ford taurus's headlights, which are conveniently shaped perfectly to allow the pads to get to the whole thing. However, most headlights aren't shaped that way, so corners and stuff are impossible to reach with the pads provided.
They should sell an additional pack for this problem, or include some smaller pads.
But it works well for the parts you can get to!

What's the best 2 piece pajama for a guy?
  Intimo Men's Classic Silk Pajama Set, Graphite, Large
I bought some of these for my man and oooooohhhhweee they're soft! It was quite an investment for me, but well worth the money. He loves them. He never was that into pj's until I went out on a limb and got these beauties.
You can't help but fall in love with them if you try them on. I made the mistake of trying them on and he almost didn't get them back :)
very soft silk... almost too soft! Be careful, it does rip easily. make sure you are careful when you wear them not to catch them on anything like a nail because it will be the death of them.

What's the best hiking sandal for a guy?
  Mens Chaco Z-2 Vibram Unaweep Sandals Railroad 9
These are simply some of the best sandals ever. Chaco has it down to a freakin science. There's padding whee you need it, support where you need it, and just enough strap to hold the shoe on tight but not get in the way.
I can hike for miles in my Chacos before I feel uncomfortable at all. My feet don't get sweaty in them because there is so little strap. Spend the extra dough and get some of these! You won't regret it.

So simplistic and modern. Sleek is a good word to describe it. A definite stand out from the crowd!

This is a VERY tough boot with a full grain leather upper and thick rubber sole. The real deal if you are serious abut 'long lasting'.

What is the best hiking shoe?
  Teva Men's Charge WP Outdoor Sport Shoe,Tarmac,11 M US
These are great. I bought some for my husband when he needed new hiking shoes because I know how much he loves the Teva flip flops he owns.
He is very happy with them. The were a bit snug at first, but gave enough eventually for a really nice fit. It's just an excellent outdoor sport shoe. Not too heavy or bulky, and they can totally be worn around town and stuff, too because they are such an attractive shoe.
The waterproofing seems to work like they describe it, although we don't get tons of moisture here.
Great trail shoe, camping shoe, fishing shoe, what have you. It'l do everything!

What is the best rail to rail tool box for my F150?
  Tradesman TSTF2072BK 72" Black Steel Cross Bed Tool Box
I bought this for my husband about two years ago. What a great addition to his truck. He does construction and until I bought this all his tools were just scattered about the bed of his truck. This is stupid because he was obviously ruining his tools this way, and he had to put them all in the garage every night so no one would steal them. Anyway, bought him this. It was easy to install, is rugged and well built, fits all his tools (and he can leave them in there overnight 'cause it locks) and after two years only has minimal wear and tear. Great box.

Is there a way to iron without an iron?
Yes there kind of is and I call it "Passive Ironing". Get ready to learn something amazing.
All you have to do is hang up your desired garment in the bathroom with you as you shower, and the steam should drastically reduce the amount of wrinkles.
I swear it works. i just did it yesterday with a cotton long sleeve I have and it absolutely works. One tip - once you get out of the shower you should use your wet hands and kind of rub down either side of the shirt at the same time... pull the material down and flateen it between your hands as you go.
This will work for cotton for sure.... silk, too, but don't get your silk too wet.... it's very fragile and it's liable to stain.
Not sure if this works with polyester or other man made materials.

Clarks are the ultimate in comfort. They don't just design a shoe that looks great, they make sure it performs well, too. These pups are made of leather and have a lambskin lining. They even have reduced the stitching on the lambskin (which surrounds your foot) to help with comfort and blisters.
Even if you don't like this particular style, I would recommend Clarks for sure. A great all around shoe.

  Mountek CD Slot Mount MT5000-C, Universal Hands Free Car Mount for ...
If you're 100% mp3 now like me, you probably never use that old CD player in your car... I know I don't. So wipe the dust off and slip one of these in there. Get some use out of that CD player!
This is a well designed universal mount that can hold your iphone, ipod, droid, gps, a bagel, whatever you want to put in there. It's very easily adjustable and has a large size range.
I love this thing - it's very sturdy and easy to install/use. (no tools necessary)
The only thing is it can get in the way of some of your dash buttons. In my vehicle it only slightly obstructs my defrost, but other vehicles may have worse issues. Try before you buy?

Do spill-proof pants work?
I saw some news cast about this a couple years ago where they actually threw coffee and oj and ketchup and stuff at a 'stain-proof' jacket and then attempted to wipe it off.
I remember they found that it actually worked for coffee and oj, but not for ketchup. The oils in the ketchup penetrated the coating or whatever they put on there and left a bad stain
So.... it works for some stuff, not others. I know I could use it for coffee spills!

How do I remove watch links?
Hey man I just had the same problem and wanted to do it myself.... suuuuuper easy. The pins just come right out. Might need some needle nose pliers to grab the pin and pull it out. Try not to lose those pins, though. They're really small.
The only hard part for me was finding something solid to put the watch on so I could hammer the pins out... ended up just using the corner of a table, with the links I wanted to remove just barely hanging over the edge.
You will probably find that it is a two person job...unless you have proper jewelers tools. I know I had to recruit my boyfriend to help me with the hammering.

This is a very interesting question. Whereas I can't comment from a legal viewpoint (I have no idea if it's legal or illegal) I can comment from a law enforcement viewpoint (my dad's a police officer), and that is having large fuzzy dice in your windshield is certainly a reason for a cop to pull you over at 3 in the morning after a night on the town and smell the alcohol on your breath. Legal or not, they still seem to scream "Look at me! I like to party!"

I'm tall and thin (6'4, 165 pounds) and have a hard time finding clothes that fit me right. Any suggestions?
My boyfriend is 6'5 and skinny, so we always shop for him online. It's the only way to find things that are not only long enough (pants and shirts) but also thin enough for him. For some reason department stores think that if you're tall you are also fat. Shop online at any of your favorite stores and you can probably find something that will fit you. Also, when you shop for clothes online you are usually able to send them back if they don't fit you.
