Can someone suggest the best upright vacuum for pet hair under $200?
  Shark Navigator Lift-Away Vacuum
This is going to be perfect for you, Allen. Complete with lift away canister, swivel steering, and a 5 year warranty, it gets rave reviews about how it well handles pet hair. It's light and quiet but powerful, super easy to maneuver.
Seriously, look at the link I provided because everyone has pretty much only good things to say about it. The only drawback I can think of is that it is not super big, so maybe not ideal for extra large rooms.
I think you will be very happy with it!

Suggestions for the best countertop blender for smoothies under $25?
  Hamilton Beach Single-Serve 51102
You could try this single serve blender from Hamilton Beach. Unless you're making smoothies for the whole family, a single serve will probably do the trick. It comes with 2 jars and 2 lids.... just pop the jar off the blender, throw a lid on it and take it right along with you.
It's not a heavy duty blender by any means, but hey you get what you pay for. It does have stainless steel blades and tons of good reviews. I say go for it!

What are the best headphones to exercise in under $30?
  Sony MDR-AS30G Active Style Headphones (Silver)
These are nice and fit well within your budget. They stay in you ears very well, so you can even run in them, if that's part of your routine.
Sound quality is good.
Comfort is good.
I like that they have the ear cushion because it keeps the headphone off your ear so your sweat won't destroy the electronics!

What is the best 55 inch (or bigger) 3D TV?
  LG Cinema Screen 55LM6700
I think this looks like a sweet tv!! I really like the design. It does 3D and even comes with 6 pairs of 3D glasses. It has a 120hz refresh rate, so no motion blur, and built in wifi. Wow TV's are amazing these days.
A really cool 3D feature with this one is 2D to 3D conversion, in which the TV automatically converts any standard 2D content to 3D content.
Enjoy!

What is a good beginner dSLR for someone who wants to get into nature photography?
  Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S D...
In my estimation this is the best beginner dSLR around. Very intuitive controls and menus, a well as lots of automatic settings that can, for example, read the light conditions around you and preset the optimal settings for the perfect shot. Being a dSLR, it also has plenty of advanced features as you grow as a photographer.
This Nikon comes with a nice standard lens and comes in around $550... a whole hundred dollars less than your price point. It will be perfect for you.

What would be the best IPS monitor for under $500?
  Asus PA246Q
This is a wonderful IPS display from Asus that is amazing for color reproduction, especially for photoshop work, graphic design, or anything similar to that. The monitor also pivots, which is actually a pretty cool feature for editing and can help a lot with image size.
It's basically a pro IPS display, boasting 1920 x 1200 high resolution, as well as a 16:10 aspect ratio. It has two USB 2.0 ports and a 7-in-1 card reader, 50,000:1 contrast ratio. It's gonna be great, no matter how you look at it!

I think you would be very well off with the micro 4/3 variety camera. These offer a dSLR-like shooting experience at a much smaller size. They are mirrorless (completely digital) which allows for a smaller design while still capturing great pictures. It also has interchangeable lenses, which is awesome for travel because you will be in a variety of situations, each calling for different needs (or just leave on the lens that it comes with, it's a nice one too!) Captures stills and video.

  Canon EF 35mm f/2 Wide Angle Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
There are definitely better lenses out there, but not really for under $500.
I would recommend getting a wide angle lens, because it makes the scenery more dramatic, especially with large cityscapes or any landscape type shots. This is a pretty nice lens, although if you are willing to spend a little more you ought to get this:

what is the best laptop for traveling under $1000?
  Apple MacBook Air MC968LL/A (Mid 2011)
Well I'm gonna be 'that guy' (girl) and suggest Air.
If you want serious performance, like hard core gaming and stuff, then it's not for you. But your question just asks what the best Laptop for travelling is, and MBA is certainly one of the best.
It's not even an inch thick, weighs 2.4 pounds, and has a durable unibody design , which holds up quite well in travel situations.
Like I said, it's not super powerful, but it's good for staying connected while on the road, maybe doing some work, some emails, or watching some movies or listening to music. It has flash memory, which not only starts up super fast but is good for travel in that there are no moving parts.

What is a good camera for a beginner wanting to get into photography?
  Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Op...
I think this is the perfect beginner's camera. I have one and absolutely love it to death. You will be able to take pro-style shots with amateur knowledge.... that's what I have found at least.
Now, it's not a dSLR, so it does not come with the option of interchangeable lenses. If that's a problem, look elsewhere. It also doesn't have as many customization options as a dSLR. I think that is a plus though, because less options = easier to use and less expensive.
It has auto modes that you can select, in which the camera will set itself up with the right settings depending on the conditions you are shooting in. As you progress you can switch to manual mode, where you can control all that stuff on your own. Also, to help you with image clarity, it has a built-in image stabilizer.
This thing also has the DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which is the same processer used in Canon's high end cameras. Images will be simply beautiful.
Also shoots good HD video. I absolutely love this thing, and i think you will too.
Good luck in your search!

This looks like an excellent webcam with mic set up for you. It captures full HD (1080 or 720p) with its Carl Zeiss lens, whose lenses are also used on some high end digital cameras. It has autofocus and intelligent light sensor, so it will automatically find it's own best settings depending on the shooting conditions. It has a mic for your audio input, which captures HD audio. Look at some of the video on the link I provided.... looks good!

Best 3rd party Xbox 360 controller under $75?
  Xbox 360 Pad EX 2 with Turbo - Black
This is the best one I have found. It's well under budget and is an excellent controller by Hori. I also thought of the Razer Onza controller, which is a good controller but has one major flaw.... like the original Xbox controller, the D pad is 4 separate buttons, which is terrible for certain games... especially fighting games.
This controller, which is officially licensed by microsoft, has a great one button D pad, which in general is just way better. Also has turbo function for all buttons and vibration.
It's built solidly, and feels good in your hands. Check it out dude!

What is the best tablet for school under $750?
  ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101-B1
I think at this price point the Eee Pad is your best choice, and I'll tell ya why. Besides its excellent processing power, Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system, and lively 10 inch touch screen, it has the available keyboard dock.
Now, if you want a tablet for school, it means you probably want something to take notes on, maybe write some papers, do a little email correspondence.... all things that you will definitely want a keyboard for. You will be able to buy the keyboard dock that attaches to this thing and makes it what is essentially a laptop, and keep it under budget. So now you will have two different machines! One is a tablet that can be used for apps, movies, games, etc, and the other a powerful (and super portable) note taking, research capable machine.
Definitely a great purchase if you have the budget!

What is the best tablet on the market right now?
  ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101-A1
To me, this comes down to iPad or Eed Pad. I have an iPad 2 and absolutely love it, but for your purposes specifically, Eee Pad might be a better choice.
The main reason iPad is generally a better purchase is the huge app store... almost unlimited. But, if you are not concerned with apps (other than Netflix) than this wil not be an issue for you. You should be more concerned with display quality (for watching movies) and easy typing (for notes). I think in both of these categories Eee Pad is the clear winner. It has a beautiful 10.1" WSVGA (1280x800) IPS capacitive LED touchscreen for a vivid display. It also has the option of attaching a full keyboard directly to it, essentially transforming it into a laptop... this wil be awesome for your notes. Way better than typing on a screen.
But, honestly, you can also buy an external keyboard for iPad and it also has a very nice display, so either way you'll be in good shape.

What is a good gaming laptop for under $500?

Tough question! This is a very tough price range, especially for something with some decent gaming specs. This Acer will okay for some mid-level gaming, but hey you're just going to have to spend more money if you want to buy an excellent gaming laptop.
This acer will be okay, though. Acer tends to make a reliable, high performance machine even at these lower price points. Here are some of its specs
--15.6" HD Widescreen (1366 x 768) resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio
--2nd gen Intel Core i5-2430M processor (2.40GHz, with Turbo Boost up to 3.0GHz)
--Windows 7 Home Premium
--Microsoft Office Starter 2010
--500GB Hard Drive
--4GB DDR3 Memory
--Intel HD Graphics 3000
Wow actually pretty impressive for such a low price! Acer is good, check it out!

The one issue you might have (as other people have noted) is the sound could be better, but oh well. It's cheap, the right size, and will look pretty!

best tablet for Netflix under $200?
  Kindle Fire
The Fire would be good for this. Granted, it doesn't have the largest screen ever, but hey it's under $200 and that's what you should expect! It will have a very clear display, though, which is more important if you ask me. Yes, with Fire you can get the Netflix app and it works very wel... you can also get other apps such as Hulu if you can't find what you want to watch on Netflix.
The screen is very pretty, and also Fire uses IPS (in-plane switching) for an extra-wide viewing angle, perfect for sharing your screen with your friends. You can all gather around the Fire and enjoy all your favorite movies.

What is the best 50 to 54 inch TV under $1250?
  Samsung PN51D7000
hmmm I have a good feeling about this Samsung. Samsungs generally have a great clear, crisp picture. You'll get a full HD, 1080p viewing experience. Also, this thing can do 3D which is awesome! I don't know if you have seen 3D on a TV but it's actually very cool.
If you are into the 'smart tv' thing you will be happy to know that this is internet ready, and if you get yourself a wireless adaptor, Samsung's customizable widgets will give you access to Blockbuster, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr etc.
A few more things worth mentioning are the size, refresh rate and energy usage. By size I mean width...it's so thin!! It looks real snazzy in that way. The refresh rate is 600Hz, which is amazing, although pretty much standard on plasma screens. And for energy usage it actually exceeds Energy Star standards, so you can pretend you are doing the environment a favor by buying this thing... also doing your wallet a favor when the electricity bill comes in!

What are the best hair extensions under $200?
I just wanted to add my two cents here because I have gotten extensions a number of times in the past and I know a thing or two about them.
Let's see... I would definitely go with real human hair and I would definitely get them put in professionally. Like Adele said, you treat real hair extensions like it's your hair...this includes washing, drying, styling, brushing, etc. You can do just about anything to it that you would do to your real hair, except don't brush the part where it's actually connected to your head!
Getting them put in professionally is definitely the only way to go. This will ensure it is done well and you can't see the connection point.
You want it done well or else it will look like you have fake hair on your head! So invest in some quality extensions and a good stylist to do it.
It will cost more than $200 though!

Absolutely worth $50 if you ask me!

It's thin enough to not impede the iPad's use at all. The screen is only visible if you look at it from straight on.

I use this because to me there is nothing tackier than too much makeup! This is a nice subtle color palette. When I think evening eye shadow, I think smokey eyes.
The subtleness of this palette makes it very easy to blend. Use a blending brush for best results!

What is the best retractable dog leash?
  Planet Dog Large Zip Lead, Chrome/Titanium
I use this leash and think it's awesome. It's perfect for me and my doggie but understandably it's not ideal for everyone... it's pretty short and is not designed for high tension.
I have a small dog who doesn't need tons of lead and doesn't pull hard, so I'm in good shape.
I like it because it is really small and sets nicely in my hand. It's almost like I'm not carrying anything at all!

They are a bit smaller than I had pictured, but I am still very happy withe my purchase!

These are BE-A-UTIFUL riding boots... but let me tell you, sizing is an issue! And I will tell you why: there is no zipper up the calf! So it's a little tough to find a size that is loose enough to put on, but tight enough to fit right.
You would definitely need to try some on to find the right size.

This is absolutely a fantastic coat, and I am so glad I added it to my wardrobe for this fall! I actually have the darker, chocolate colored one (I don't really like the camel color shown here).
I think its just great. It's fairly thick and heavy and long. The extra length really helps retain heat. It isn't the heaviest jacket ever, so it would be a good idea to layer well underneath.
That's what I like about it, is that I'll be able to wear what ever outfit I want underneath it and it will be big enough for my layers and long enough to keep me covered and warm.
Very happy with my purchase.

How do I know what jean cut to buy?
I would say to stick to the motto 'the simpler, the better.' don't mess around with any carpenter jeans or anything fancy like that. it's unnecessary and detracts from the distinct simplicity of denim pants.
if you are 6' and skinny i would definitely recommend a dark blue straight cut, or even look at a slim cut if you are brave. you might be surprised with how well it fits.
Basically you are looking for something that is not too baggy, not too tight, doesn't sit too high, and doesn't sit too low.... a little bit like Goldielocks....
A straight cut is generally a safe cut for someone built like you. You need to pay attention first to sizing....this is the most important part. Make sure you have an accurate measurement for yourself and aren't buying super baggy because you think they're gonna fit! Buy an accurate size based on where the jeans are going to hang around your waist.
Go with the straight cut though. that's my vote.

I would suggest saddle soap for that. It cleans and preserves your leather.
use a damp cloth that you can buff a little bit with. Make sure to take the liners out and laces off before you start cleaning. Also, dump out all the debris floating around in them before you start cleaning.
Use a damp cloth to wipe out all excess soap and water, and make sure - very important here - you let them dry adequately. Keep them well ventilated, because you don't want damp leather, it's bad news.

How can I learn to be more stylish?
I think the only way to really upgrade your style is to pay attention to fashion (at least a little bit!) and gain a basic knowledge of fashion. It's like the old saying: give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
Same goes for style.
I could suggest a couple things to wear, but that's only good for one day. You need a basic understanding of fashion to be successful at putting outfits together.
At the very least I would suggest watching some shows on a fashion channel (for real! and pay attention!) you can learn a lot from these shows. Also, look at stuff like GQ and other mens fashion magazines. Maybe purchase 2 or 3 editions and look at the pics and read the articles.
You can learn a lot about fashion by just paying attention to fashionable people around you!

Someone told me fashion scarves won't be as in this fall... thoughts?
I like to think of myself as 'fashion forward' in that I absolutely LOVE fashion, but I'm not into designing or making clothes or anything. I like to pay attention to upcoming trends and also I do love a good scarf.
I noticed that a lot of models in runway shows this fall have scarves that look like an extension of the shirt they are wearing. The scarves were either the same material or something very similar to the shirt, or in some cases they were complimentary materials, that still looked like they were part of the shirt. Very cool.
The best example I can think of right now was a yellow snake print shirt that had a matching snake print scarf, which of course looked like a snake a little bit. It looks really cool... you should see if you can see some pics of runway shows in europe this fall because i feel like that stuff always slowly makes its way to us.

What is the best outfit to match with a blue blazer?
A dark colored button up (like dark brown, black, dark blue or gray) is always a safe bet. These colors will generally look great on everyone and go with most other colors, too.
However, a blue blazer is a very versatile article of clothing. I think casual when I think blue blazer. It's hard to go wrong as far as matching colors to a blue blazer, and I would only recommend not choosing colors that are too similar.(Don't wear blue jeans and a blue shirt)
And as far as pants, I would say khakis would be good or a dark jean. Also, something closer to white would be a good pant color to go with that blue blazer!

I like this better than the regular edition Rand Mcnally. Just easier to read, more detail (because it's bigger and they are able to put in more detail) and easier for my bad eyes to see.
Quite accurate and easy to navigate.... this one is a keeper.
If only they made GPS units with screens this detailed!

What is the best looking turtle neck for a guy under $50?
  INC International Concepts Turtleneck Solid Sweater Black Large
This is a truly gorgeous sweater! I don't usually like turtle necks, but this is a very handsome one. I actually bought one of these for my boyfriend. I am not a turtle neck kind of girl, but this is such a nice piece of clothing here.
100% cotton... it's thick enough to keep you warm but still breaths. Every gentleman needs one!

What is the best underwater point and shoot camera?
  Kodak EasyShare Sport C123 12 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 2.4...
I recently took this on a trip to to my grandparents house and took about a thousand pictures in and around their pool. Worked great! didn't leak or anything. easy to use, point and click.
the results you get with a camera like this are not going to be as good as with a normal camera - so just be aware of this first! i knew the pics weren't going to be as high quality, so i wasn't disappointed to see that the picture quality isn't awesome. not bad though. and it's really cool to see the crazy poses and stuff you can do under water!
really fun...we seriously spent hours doing this.

This is a great heated seat for cold winters. Takes the edge off. Feels great on sore backs, too. Gets pretty hot, in about 5 minutes. Just plug it into your cigarette lighter. I recommend it for sure! Especially for wintertime, it's awesome.

What do I need to be able to hem my own pants?
you can do it without a sewing machine but it's a little more difficult and certainly requires some patience, and probably some sewing experience. you will definitely need a needle and thread, scissors, a measuring tape and some push pins. You also might need a hem ripper if the existing one is still in.
i'm not going to explain every step to you, but here's a little guideline that seems to be pretty much on target. like I said, you need a little sewing experience!

This will help a lot if you put it on right away. Grass stains set really quickly, so you have to act fast! Use with a powerful stain fighting detergent and wash as hot as the garment will allow (check the tags!) Grass stains are tough to remove, so good luck!

What is the best mens skateboarding shoe?
  C1RCA Men's Trigger Skate Shoe,Pompeian Red/Midnight/Freesia,9 M US
I would say this is the best looking skate shoe ever. I don't skate personally but my friends do and I remember asking one of them specifically what shoe this was because it looked so much better than all the other ones! Circa shoes are really handsome and well crafted too.

As a girl with a keen sense of smell I have to recommend my favorite cologne for a guy, and it's definitely this one. It makes me melt for some reason. I just love it. I would wear it myself if that wasn't weird. It's just a great fragrance, period.

What is the best school backpack for an adult?
  Dakine Campus Large Pack, Black
I think this is an adult looking pack right here. Understated logo on front, simple sleek design. Black is adult I would say. Has a laptop carry compartment. Great for school or even probably light hiking. Dakine has pretty nice stuff that generally stays well put together.

  Teva Men's Sutter Creek Sandal,Cigar,10 M
I bought my boyfriend some of these for this summer for picnics and days in the city and stuff. I mean we all know Tevas are great shoes... this one is no exception. Very attractive and masculine, but with an oh so soft lining for his delicate toes! Of course it has a leather upper a seriously heavy duty sole. Great all the way around!

What's a good first date outfit for a guy?
I think definitely don't wear jeans. Kind of says you don't care. Wear some nice gray or dark blue slacks. Try a nice bold color on top, probably a button up, and definitely go with cotton. Maybe even add a blazer on top... a slim fit, modern looking one. Make sure all the colors 'go'.
Shoes are also really important! Girls notice stuff like this. Make sure they're not scuffed or old or anything. You want to be looking sharp... it's your only first impression!

  Wigwam Men's Everyday Fusion, Charcoal, Large
I know my dad loves these socks because I've bought him a pair every year for christmas for as long as I can remember! They are obviously a nice sock, though, and he says he likes them so much because they are so comfortable and stay up so well. It's like a stiffer, wool-like material that is super comfy (I've definitely stole and worn some pairs).
Great every day sock.

What is the best umbrella for a man?
  Leighton's Doorman Umbrella (Navy)
This is a pretty fancy umbrella here, and it's doorman style which means it's gonna be huge. you can get the whole family under there! This is not a small, beginner's umbrella. It's really strong and sturdy and HUGE. But if it rains a lot where you live you gotta get one. Those cheap umbrellas are not good they will just break and disappoint you.

Call it trim line, modern, sleek, slim, whatever you like... the fact is this is a very fashionable suit jacket perfect for the fashion conscious. It looks like the type of jacket you would see at banana republic or express.
Marc Ecko makes nice stuff for today's busy professional. This suit will be durable and yet elegant. I highly suggest this coat or something similar. It will never go out of style.

What are the rules about matching different patterns on clothes?
I know as far as 'high fashion' goes, usually it's considered okay to mix patterns as long as they are of the same color scheme. obviously it has to be done right or it looks tacky, and it would definitely be considered somewhat progressive. (well, regressive if done wrong)

Where can I get a nice jacket/pants suit combo for a reasonable price?
If you want a good deal on pants and a jacket you should consider buying them separately. Go to Macy's or even a Marshalls or something. I would suggest like some dark blue pants with a black blazer, or a grey blazer with black pants. It's nice to mis-match colors like that, and then you can use them as individual pieces in the future.
You know, Dillards or JC Penny would have lots of separates, too.
Here's a pretty nice little guide with some ideas for ya

What is the best jacket material for warmth?
If you want serious warmth you should look into down. Get something from Land's End or North Face. (yeah, it will be expensive) Make sure it's somewhat water resistant. If you're not going for something fancy you could go with a Nike down jacket. Still expensive but dressed down a little bit, or at least more sporty.
My friend has one of those big puffy Nike jackets and it's like wearing a sleeping bag!
