I need a great upright vacuum for pet hair. What is the best I can get under $400?
  Dyson DC33 Multi-Floor Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner
I have heard good things about these Dyson vacuums. They are great for a variety of surfaces, and should be great for pet hair and all sorts of crap. It's bagless, which is preferable to me. Cheaper, easier. These have incredible suction power, everyone can agree on that. The one thing some people complain about is the arm... I guess it is a little on the cheap side, like they were trying to cut costs and this is what got the brunt of it.
But in general it is reviewed favorably, and with lots of sucking power, and it should be very well equipped for your purposes.

Can you suggest a great drip coffee maker for home use under $150?
  DeLonghi Kmix 10-Cup Drip Coffee Maker, Orange
What a great looking machine. i like the pictured orange color, but it is also available in many other colors. Very sleek, modern design with die cast aluminum. Has a 10 cup capacity.
I think the best selling point here is the thing most reviewers comment on... it feels sturdy and high quality.

This is a great keyboard that does have a wrist rest, although it is only n the left hand. I hope that's okay! I figure most of your action is probably left handed, and this is a seriously nice and comfortable wrist rest right here.
Besides the wrist rest it has Cherry MX Red Mechanical key switches , full anti-ghosting capabilities, plus 10 additional sculpted FPS keys, if that's what you're into.

What is the best retractable wire headset (for cell phones) under $50?
  ZipKord ZC910R9U Retractable Mobile Phone Earbud Headset
These look decent. Unfortunately I don't see too many great options in this category... at least I don't see any that offer excellent sound quality or anything like that. But these should do the trick. They have that retractable wire, which is a great feature if you ask me. So tired of having my wires get all tangled! This will be great for travel.
Sound quality seems good, and it has an in-line mic.
The only complaint I see is that they are a little delicate, so be extra careful with them and you should be fine.

Well, it's a netbook.....hope that's okay with you! But this is a great little machine from HP. Very new on the scene, and very capable.

What computer monitor has the best anti-glare screen?
  Dell UltraSharp U2412M
Honestly this is tough to answer because I don't know what type of monitor you need (like what types of things you will be doing on it) but Dell's Ultra Sharps have a great 3m anti-glare coating that works very well. These things are designed for extra sharp imaging, you know for color intensive work, so a good anti-glare coating is a must have. Besides the anti-glare, these are AMAZING monitors! Check out the link if you don't believe me :)

Looking for a top rated display to use with my laptop
  Asus VE278Q
I am thinking this would be a great choice for you. These are highly rated and nicely priced. It will give you a really bright, vibrant image and has a really fast 2 ms (GTG) response time. It's LED lit, so that means it has very low power consumption, and is also going to be on the bright side in general, just so you know! But I think this is exactly what you're looking for.

I think you will be very pleased with these phones from AT. They make pretty high quality audio equipment, including headphones. These are comfortable and deliver crisp audio.

It has really simple controls so kids can easily learn how to use it and start their film careers at a young age!

It will take really sharp photos, and has a fast image processor. People are really satisfied with it in general (judging by their reviews at least!).
It has a bunch of scene modes to get the optimal setting for each shooting situation. Also shoots HD video.

best DSLR camera for capturing city life under $500?
  Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5....
If I were you I would seriously look into this Canon Rebel... maybe the best digital SLR at this price point. It has a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and Canon's DIGIC 3 processor. Of course as an SLR you can change the lenses and you will be able to capture a wide variety of beautiful cityscapes.
Specific things you may want for city shots (besides maybe a cool wide angle or zoom lens) is some low light ability, as nighttime city shots are cool, and also with tall building you will be in the shade a bit. This has decently high ISO settings and a great processor, and reviews have noted it's good low-noise shots. It also has different scene modes for different lighting conditions.

What is the best laptop under $500?
  Acer Aspire AS5755-6699
I think Acer is a good company to buy from, especially for lower priced units such as this. They usually deliver some good bang for your buck. One thing right off the bat... probly won't get very much in the way of battery life, as is usually the case for these lower priced computers. But you get some good specs:
2nd Generation Intel Core i3-2310M processor (2.1GHz, 3MB L3 cache)
4GB DDR3 Dual-Channel Memory
320GB hard drive, 8X DVD-SuperMulti Double-Layer Drive
15.6" HD Widescreen CineCrystal LCD display (1366 x 768), Intel HD Graphics 3000
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
Not too shabby for under $500. It will be great for net browsing, word processing and other every day tasks. It will be decent at gaming.... nothing too graphics intensive, though.
But I think if you are looking for a solid machine that will perform day to day, Acer is a great chice.

What tablet is the best buy for your money?
  Kindle Fire
I would definitely say for the money this is the best deal around. Only $200! That's a steal. Amazon is actually taking a loss with selling the units, and making up for it by selling online content on the Amazon store, which, by the way, has an enormous selection.
It has a beautiful 7" display with IPS (in plane switching) technology, like what you find on an iPad... gives you a nice wide viewing angle. You will be able to easily download thousands of books, magazines, tv shows, movies, songs, games... you name it! You can also email.
Great little device, and you won't find a better deal. Keep in mind that it can't do all the stuff an iPad can do, but it will be excellent for viewing online media.

Any good recommendations for gaming mice?
  Logitech G500 Programmable Gaming Mouse
Don't now how much you are looking to spend, but logitech is always a reliable choice for this sort of thing. I agree with Harry in that you don't really need a wireless one because a wired one will be more reliable and more accurate.
This one is cool because it is programmable (10 buttons) and has its own memory, so your programmed settings will be there every time without the need for additional software.
Interestingly enough, you can add up to 27 grams of extra weight to this thing if the weight doesn't feel right.
This might be too many bells and whistles for you, I don't know. If it is, I would still recommend Logitech, just find a different model that better suits your needs... they have tons of options.

what is the best 40" tv for under $600?
  Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30
I don't know.... that Sony you're looking at looks pretty legit! I wouldn't really say this one is necessarily better, just a different option for you. Sorry, it's like $40 over budget. Oops.
These are nice TVs though! It's a little bigger than the one you're looking at, at 42 inches. It's 1080p, full HD. It also has a nice refresh rate of 120Hz, in so if you plan on doing some gaming you should have minimal motion blur. It has 3 HDMI ports and 1 PC input. All solid specs.
Since you obviously read reviews, I should mention that some people are experiencing one problem with this thing (which is easily fixable). See, it has a sensor that reads the amount of light in the room and it automatically adjusts the picture accordingly, for optimum viewing. I guess the sensor is a bit sensitive, and adjusts too frequently, creating brightness fluctuations. Apparently though, if you have this problem, just put a smal piece of electrical tape or something over the sensor and the problem will be solved!

What is a good PC that can run Skyrim under $1000?
  HP Pavilion Elite h8-1010 Desktop Computer - Black
Hey Harry, this will run Skyrim, and this is a great computer.... it's only $50 over your budget, but it will easily run it on max settings. Here are the recommended system requirements for playing on max settings:
Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU processor
4GB System RAM
6GB free HDD space
DirectX 9.0c compatible NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card with 1GB of RAM: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon 4890 or higher
DirectX compatible sound card
Internet access for Steam activation
You can see that this computer easily covers these requirements, with its Intel Core i5-2390T processor (2.70GHz), 8GB DDR3 memory, 1TB SATA hard drive, Radeon HD 6450 graphics card (with up to 512MB DDR3 dedicated memory), and of course Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I like HP! It will be good. Sorry it's over budget :(

What is the best 45 to 49 inch TV under $1200?
  Sharp LC46LE835U
Sharp makes some great great TVs, I think this one is no exception. It has so many cool features and Sharp TVs are known for having a very, well, sharp image.
To begin with, the display will be gorgeous. An LCD screen, LED-backlit with 1080p full HD and a 240Hz refresh rate. It will be fast (for sports/fast gaming) and pretty (with a solid 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio for the richest colors.)
It is 3D capable (if you're into that) and the coolest thing is it has wireless already built into it, so you will be able to start watching online content without even buying a wireless adapter. Online you'll be able to access things like Netflix, Blockbuster, and even Facebook and Twitter apps.
I can't personally vouch for this, but Sharp claims the picture on this set is superior because while most TV sets only employ 3 colors (red, green and blue), they have added yellow to the mix. Here's what Sharp has to say about the matter (take it with a grain of salt!): "Quad Pixel technology produces this groundbreaking combination expanding the color gamut and faithfully rendering nearly all colors that can be discerned while introducing never-before-seen colors to LCD TVs, like sparkling golds, Caribbean blues and sunflower yellows." (from their Amazon page)
Wow that sounds titillating. Actually, it does sound like it's worth a look, to me at least.

What is the best TV for watching sports under $1000?
  LG Cinema Screen 47LM6700
I think at this price point this is the best option. It's got all the specifications you would want for a killer sports watching experience, as well as a bunch of other cool features.
First, why is it good for sports watching? Well, it's BIG, which is always awesome! Next, it's got an amazing display: full HD, 1080p, LED backlit. It has TruMotion 120Hz technology, which lets you see sports, video games and really any high-speed action with virtually no motion blur. This is a key factor. You could have the biggest, baddest TV around, but if it doesn't have a high refresh rate sports will all look blurry and crappy. 120Hz isn't the fastest refresh rate available, but it's pretty darn good and is certainly enough for near perfect action rendering. It won't be blurry at all is what I'm trying to say.
As for the other cool features, you can look forward to the following: 3D viewing! Might as well get in the new technology....it even comes with 4 pairs of 3D glasses. It's a smart TV, so you can get online and download just about anything, including sports.It is Energy Star certified which is not ony good for the environment but for your energy bill. Oh and one more thing (this may not be important to you, but it is to me) is that this TV is very attractive. It is very sleek and has nice lines.
This is an excellent TV at an excellent price! Don't miss out!

What is the best TV for watching sports under $750?
  Samsung LN40D630
This one comes in around $725, nicely nestled inside your budget. I like the specs on this Samsung, and I think it lends itself nicely to your sports watching needs. When we talk about sports (or anything that you're watching that has quick motion on screen) you gotta think about refresh rates and you gotta think about overall picture quality. I think screen size is actually the least important feature here, because a big screen with sloppy images is useless.
So, you can look forward to 120Hz refresh rate. I would not recommend anything lower than this or you may start to see some motion blur. 120Hz is good though. You'll also be getting a full HD, 1080p LCD display. Some other cool features (that don't necessarily pertain to sports watching, but to the overall integrity of the unit) are: it is Energy Star certified, has 4 HDMI ports, PC input (can be used as a monitor).
It should be mentioned that this thing comes with the Auto Motion Plus setting, which is supposed to make frame to frame transitions very smooth and reduce blur to almost zero. Some people complain that this creates that 'soap opera effect' that makes everything look like daytime television... I don't know if you have experienced this before but it's really annoying. Just want you to know that the feature can be turned off (and sports will still look excellent) and also you can manually adjust the settings on Auto Motion Plus to get the picture just how you want it!

What is the best camera for low light photos under $250?
  Fujifilm FinePix F30 6.3 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
This camera has been out for a few years now, but don't let that discourage you. It can still shoot low light as well (if not better) than many brand new cameras out there. Reason is, Fuji didn't get caught up in the 'megapixel war' as I call it (this is when camera companies try to trick people into thinking more megapixels is better, when in reality it's useless unless you have the processing power to deal with all those pixels). They have made a point and shoot that actually captures ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution, which is very impressive for a compact camera like this. Some users report full res. only up to ISO 1600, but even that is quite impressive and sort of blows away a lot of the competition. Usually you will only find this type of light sensitivity on a DSLR. It also offers you full manual control of your aperture, metering, etc, just like a DSLR. This will help customize your low light shots. No manual focus, however.
I want to touch on the megapixel thing. Pixels determine the actual size of the photo (mega=million), so a 14 mega pixel camera will actually have 14 million (or close to) pixels. All this means is the picture is larger, and can be enlarged more without loosing image quality. So less megapixels means smaller files which means they take up less space in your memory!
This camera is seriously awesome for low light... as good as you will find at this price point. The camera isn't perfect, though. There are some things you have to consider, some trade-offs. (not really deal breakers though!) The first thing is there is no viewfinder, just the LCD screen. I like to have a viewfinder when I'm outside in the sun, but for low light shooting I could live without one. Also, unfortunately this camera uses xD memory cards, which tend to be smaller, slower, and more expensive than SD cards. Don't know why they didn't use SD, but oh well. You can't win 'em all!
I think if your primary purpose is low light shooting you really won't find a better suited camera at this price.

What is the best camera for portraits under $1000?
  Nikon D5100 16.2MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 A...
In this price range I think this would be your best option. The best digital cameras for portraits are gonna have a narrower depth of field so your subject is clear and sharp while the background is blurred. This camera isn't designed specifically for portraits per say, but with the right settings it will take some beautiful pictures. (It has 'portrait mode' which will set you up perfectly for portraits, producing natural skin tones and vivid colors)
As far as image quality, you are in excellent hands here. This camera has the same sensor and processing abilities as the next step up in the series, the D7000, which has some of the best image quality available in any DSLR. If you invest in a nice zoom (telephoto) lens your portraits will be absolutely stunning. You will also find is that this camera has a very fast shutter speed, which is very important in catching those fleeting expressions.
Have fun!

These are great and easily under $100!
I bought mine about 3 years ago and to my surprise it is still going strong. I like it specifically because it is very powerful and helps to make short work of my drying routine. I guess I would say it's on the heavyish side, but not too bad. I have a lot of hair to dry and I never get worn out or anything. It's worth the extra $20 to get out of the $25 range because you get a much higher quality product.

What is the best artificial tree for the environment?
Man I have been looking for a good artificial tree as well, but it seems like I can't find one that isn't made in China or full of toxic chemicals... like polyvinyl chloride, the pollution-releasing, oil-derived major component of most artificial trees. Some artificial trees even have lead in them!
Another big problem is that most artificial trees won't disintegrate in a landfill, which seems ridiculous to me. A fake tree will sit in a landfill for literally hundreds of years before breaking down.
I think someone should sell one that is made of recycled products, but I have yet to see such a product.
Anyway, sorry to rant. Real trees are obviously not great for the environment, either.
So, what to do? I say make your own! Sounds crazy, but also sounds like fun. Check out this website for some cool ideas:

  Compaq Presario CQ1-2025 20-Inch All-in-One Desktop Computer - Black
I think this would be a fabulous choice for you.
All in one's are cool for their space saving ability and clean look. However, you probably won't get as much computing power or speed with an all in one, because it's so compact.
You will get Windows 7 and a decent computing package, but it's not going to be super fast. It will, however, be perfect for things like checking email and general computer stuff.
Oh yeah and the price is fantastic.

What is the best lcd monitor for mac mini under $200?
  ViewSonic VX2250WM-LED
Well I would definitely buy this monitor if I were you.
I think it will give you everything you are looking for. It is compatible with mac mini, it's in your price range, it's LCD, and has a full HD, 1080p display.
They claim 40% power savings with LCD...I don't know how accurate that number is...but it sounds nice! It also has DVI and VGA inputs.
I also really like the way it looks. Smooth, round edges. Very sleek.
It does have speakers, and of course they are pretty lame - but this is pretty standard for built in speakers on monitors. You're gonna want some of your own speakers.
They offer a 3 year warranty, which is important to keep in mind, because I guess some of these units occasionally have some problems and need to be returned for a new one, but over all they have a really good track record. They claim an 'industry best' pixel performance policy.
Great monitor... you will be happy with it!

It's 100% cotton, which is pretty nice, but honestly it's not the softest material ever. It's pretty nice though, and with my super soft sheets underneath it rocks.

Does the Kindle Fire compare favorably with IPad
I don't think it compares to iPad, but I do think it's good for certain purposes.
The main difference between the two is iPad's ability to create content.... whether it be word documents, presentations, whatever. This is not possible on the Fire because it is designed for consuming, not creating. It's especially designed for using Amazon's online services, including watching movies and downloading music through Amazon...this is where they will make most of their money, since they are selling the thing for so darn cheap.
It's not a computer though. Ipad is a computer.... Fire is kind of like a big iPhone.
It does, however, excel at what it's meant to do (watch/read/digest content from the internet) so if that is all you are expecting, you will be very happy with it.

The only thing I don't like is that those blue lights are ALWAYS on unless you completely turn it off. This is annoying sometimes but usually it doesn't bother me at all.
Don't be put off by the small size! It really sounds nice.

If you're looking for something that's not quite as expensive as, say, the Sherwin Williams, look into Behr Premium Plus. It's their longest lasting paint. Honestly, it probably won't last as long as the Sherwin Williams, but it is far cheaper.... less than 1/2 price. keep in mind, though, with cheaper paints you will have to apply 2 coats, so it sort of evens out.

This is the best all around mascara I have found.
Let's see... as far as fullness, it's about a 7 or 8 out of 10. Makes my lashes pretty full, not as full as some, but pretty darn good. So why do I recommend it? First of all, it definitely lengthens quite well, and I love long lashes. It also goes on very smoothly, and it is never clumpy at all, which is something I have come to appreciate.
The best part about it though is its ability to stay on all day. This stuff won't budge at all, and definitely won't come off on your face.
If a stay put, clean looking mascara is what you are looking for, this will be right up your alley!

i recently bought this bag for similar purposes - it seems to be exactly what you are looking for. My 15" laptop fits in it perfectly and securely. It also has a couple small pockets for other things such as a cell phone or keys.
It is designed mostly for laptop transportation, so there isn't a lot of extra room in the main compartment for books.... only thin books fit... and a coule notebooks or whatever.
It's comfortable enough for its purposes... it's not designed for heavy loads, nor is it cushioned enough for heavy loads. No problem there.
Straps are adjustable.
Durability seems pretty good, although I've only owned mine for a few weeks.
As of now, I think it is a great purchase, and certainly worth the money spent.

Safety is what comes to mind when I think about youngsters behind the wheel. I know I was a scary driver when I was young, because I totally thought I was invincible (it's a stereotype but it's sooo true).
It is for this reason I think you should look into vehicles that have good crash test ratings. Something like a Jeep or a Subaru Forester would be good. Any midsize SUV would probably be a good bet, but definitely look into crash ratings and safety ratings.

What is the coolest spy accessory for my nephew?
  Wild Planet Lazer Tripwire
This is a really fun toy! The kids I used to babysit had this thing and we had some serious fun with it. You set them up a cross from each other and it actually sets off an alarm if the laser is disrupted. And the alarm isn't so loud that it's obnoxious.... just loud enough to let you know there's an intruder!

Hi there Patrick, this is a decent little turntable right here. For under 100 I think it's a solid purchase. I would say go with Sony or Audio Technica. Both make a nice deck.
What's nice about this one is that it has a built in preamp, so you won't have to go buy yourself one. What's not nice about this one is it doesn't play 78's. I don't mind that because I don't have any 78's and I don't plan on buying any, but consider that when planning your purchase!

What steps can I take to ensure my espresso is always great?
Gotta make sure the beans are ground just right, otherwise it won't brew correctly. Some grinders have an 'espresso' setting on them, some don't. If yours doesn't, take the grounds between your fingers.... they should be just just larger than a powder.... slightly granular. Mess around with the ground size, because it is very important to get it right if you want the right flavor!
Also, when you find the right size, try to keep it consistent every time. This will help you become more familiar with the machine and you will be able to adjust things here and there as needed.

What is the best book to teach a child about racism?
When they get older they should read "Life on the Color Line" by Gregory Howard Williams (and so should you!) it's an incredible true story about a young boy who was raised in an affluent white family in the 50's, who finds out when he's around 12 that his mother was a black woman. His whole family is cast out from the community and he has to move in with his grandmother, and now has to face life as a destitute black kid in segregated Muncie, Indiana.
It's an absolutely incredible tale and a great comparison of the two juxtaposing lifestyles that were occurring at that time in this country.
Well written, and it is an autobiography of the little boy. An amazing tale! A must read.

I have a similarly sized mirror and all I used was these and they work perfectly! It's been hanging successfully for a year now so they definitely work. Best if they go into a stud, but I used dry wall anchors and they work just fine.
I was a bit skeptical at first when I saw these but they worked out great!

Keep in mind this is only a refill so you will need the reed diffuser (the glass bottle with the chopstick looking things coming out the top). It looks cool, too, that's why like these diffuser things. Nice aesthetic addition to my rooms, as well as nice smelling.

The water is packed full of minerals and nutrients that are good for your skin and complexion. It's also extremely refreshing!
I like to use it before I moisturize. I think it helps to seal in some extra moisture on my otherwise dried out face.
It seems a little ridiculous and expensive, but it is a wonderful treat for todays hard working woman!

What is the best hybrid bicycle for a female under $250?
  Diamondback Clarity 1 Women's Performance Hybrid Bike (700c Wheels)...
If you can go up at all in price, you should look into this bike. I purchased this bike at the beginning of the summer and have been very pleased with it thus far.
It's just your basic bike kit. No kick stand, so cargo holder, no chain guard.... just the basics. But that is all I need!
The bike operates very smoothly. The ride feels very smooth and controlled. Everything is solid. Gears shift rather well (sometimes the chain second guesses itself before jumping to the correct gear) and the brakes work.... very important!
Some assembly is required. Not hard - just have to attach the handle bars, pedals, brakes. Make sure you build it right or there could be problems.
I suggest going up in price to this price point if possible because you will ge a much better product and something that wil last you a few years.
One last thing, this bike is on the small - medium side, so I would say if you happen to be over 6' this bike may be too small!

Osprey is one of my favorite bag companies to begin with... the have awesome hiking and biking packs. That's what drew me to this thing.
I like it so much because I can use the day pack for all of my adventures (outdoors or in cities) when I travel. Holds my camera, lunch, cel phone, travel guide... that sort of thing. Plus, you can pack in it for the plane ride. Tons of space in this thing
rolls well with extra large wheels.
my only complaint is the quality of materials.... seems like lower quality than other osprey products I've owned, but it works pretty well for me. hasn't fallen apart yet!

What are the best roller blades for a beginner?
  Rollerblade Men's Fusion X3 Urban Skate (Size-7.5)
I don't know if there are really beginner inline skates... i think they're all made with the best, smoothest skating in mind.
the real difference is going to be in price. if you're a beginner you don't probably want to be spending hundreds of dollars on a new pair of skates, but I would suggest staying around the $100 mark. This may seem expensive, but for a new pair of inline skates it's pretty reasonable, and you don't want to try to learn on a crappy pair of skates. you want something that will support you well and help you learn how to properly skate!
these are awesome and are very similar to my skates...same company. they are quite comfortable right off the bat an get even better as you get used to them.
these look really nice, too.
perfect for zipping around town or just joy ridin'!

this is a beautiful organizer but it's tough to put up and you need basic woodworking skills. I had to call my dad to come help me because I was in over my head. But when we finished it looked AWESOME.
way better than the metal ones I've had before.
it's sort of customizable, in that you can reorganize the shelves and make it fit many different sized closets (up to 10'), in many different ways and layouts.
the wood looks surprisingly nice for this price. better than I thought it was going to be.
i am a very happy customer now that it's assembled and I had my dad to help me! otherwise i would no have recommended it just because the install is hard.

Evens out skin tones as well. I am passionate about this stuff because it works great for me.

I think generally at the rehearsal dinner it's customary to dress sort of business casual. Avoid tee shirts and shorts. Probably avoid jeans, too, unless they are a nice and dark. A button up is probably a good idea, but certainly no tie is necessary. I would just ask the bride and groom what they suggest. Also, consider the location of the dinner. You can probably get a good idea as to what you should wear by the venue and their dress code. Have fun and good luck with your speech!

Some negatives to point out are that it is sort of pricey for it's class, but I suppose you do get a decent amount of computing power for the price. Also the screen has a very narrow up & down field of vision, so you have to put it at the exact right angle to see the full potential of this well lit screen.
All in all it's great for me and my travel purposes, and I highly suggest it!

One of the best protectants I've found. Keep in mind it's a protectant, not a cleaner. It will clean a little bit for you, but really it's designed to keep your vinyl looking like new.
I like it specifically for 2 reasons: it's non silicone based, and it's non greasy. I've heard silicone is bad for dashboards, especially in hot weather, and can actually promote cracks in your dash as the temperatures rise. The non greasy formula is great for steering wheels and anything you don't want to be slippery to the touch... which in my case is my whole dash. I'm definitely not a fan of the super greasy formulas!
Vinylex is awesome and you will be glad you bought it.

I would recommend not wearing jeans. Get something that matches your jacket, like this guy. A full fitted suit would be ideal.
Also, if you need to look fashion forward, you should try to add some accessories so they know you're not messing around. Wear a nice gold watch or a skinny tie or something. If it's cold, wear a plaid scarf. That sort of thing. Dress it up a little bit.

If you are looking for the traditional looking black and white wingtip, this would be a good option for you. These are a very comfortable shoe and attractive and well made, too. It laces up kind of funky, and may not offer all the support you need, but then again you're not going to be running around in these or anything like that.
I do have to say (and you probably already thought of this) these shoes are not terribly useful or versatile in general. I can only think of two or three situations these would be appropriate, one of which is for costume (the others are if you play in a swing band or swing dance, and also maybe for a wedding?)
Just so you know... there are probably not going to be many times that you wear this shoe! But when you do, you'll show 'em all what's up!

Putting the bikes on it is simple as can be... just put them in place and lock them down!
Trust those nice bikes of yours to a great company like Thule... they will take good care of your stuff!

What is the best car exterior scratch remover pen?

This system works pretty well, but only for light scratches for sure. Any deep scratches (anything that your fingernail catches on) will probably need some clear coat filler or a professional to work out.
But this will help with those little scratches from tree branches and stuff. Follow the directions - it's a 5 step process - and you'll be in good shape.
I like it because it's like a little body shop right in my garage.
One of the steps does involve using a power drill as a buffer (they give you the buffer bit) so as long as ou can handle a drill, you can do this. If you're unsure, get someone to help you. The thing comes with a detailed DVD instructional video, so it's pretty much impossible to screw it up as long as you follow the directions.
Try it out! It works!

  RAZO RA114A WR SPEC 240g Shift Knob, Leather
This is a wonderful shifter knob! Not only does it look great but it's genuine leather, so it feels great and is functional. Has a subtle red stitching logo on there, too.
It adds class to your interior. The thing is pretty big, too. Big, heavy, and solid.

Also, check out urban outfitters. I was just there and they have lots of nice cardigans!

This is a great kit for car bluetooth. I have one myself and can say it's a fantastic kit. It wirelessly transmits your signal through the car stereo via FM radio stations. It transmits pretty well, usually enough to overpower the competing stations. I rarely have a problem with interference.
It also will 'autotune' and find the closest usable radio station at the push of a button. It connects right into your lighter.
Very easy to sync your phone to it.
Love it. It was a great purchase. I'm in the car a lot and talking on the phone while driving is illegal where I live, so this is perfect for me.

You can tell just by looking at it that it's a nice shoe. I think it's a tie between Teva and Chaco as far as quality goes... I just happen to like Chaco. I bought these for my boyfriend for our trip to the southwest because they were designed with that climate in mind. I got something similar, for women.
Let me just say they are awesome! very well constructed and very durable shoe. Also one of the most comfortable. great for hot dry weather, kept our feet feeling cool and supported, even while scrambling over massive boulder fields!
they make great sandals, too.

I think just a simple business casual look would be appropriate. Definitely not jeans, you know. Dress pants, dress shoes, some sort of button up and tie. Maybe a blazer of some sort if it's not too hot. I bet a lot of men will be wearing blazers. You should probably bring one and scope the place out when you get there... see what everyone else is wearing.
Just look nice! It's a big day for the youngster.

Why can't I find a radio station to work with my iPod transmitter?
A LOT of it has to do with proximity to the receiver. Those little transmitters don't kick out much of a signal, and effectiveness drops drastically with every inch you move away.
But also, you should try playing it over some stations that already have a faint signal. FM frequencies work in such a way that the most powerful signal will take precedence over the rest. So, theoretically, if your transmitter is close enough and putting out a stronger signal than any other, it should come through strong.

I think a multi purpose water shoe would be perfect for you. They are designed for stuff like this. Perfect for rivers and rafting. They'll stay on your foot and provide a little protection from the boat and the river bed if you fall in! They are also very light and dry off in no time. I suggest Speedo... they make a nice water shoe.

What is the best radar detector under $300?
  Beltronics STi Driver Radar Detector (Black/Silver)
I suggest this model Beltronics - they're awesome. Got one from my bf last birthday - he's totally into this sort of thing and he said these are the best. I really especially like the advanced cloaking device - makes me invisible to all cops so they don't even know I'm using it! Yes, I win that battle. It detects all US radar and laser so so won't be fooled.
It has clear voice or audio alerts that tell you exactly what radar it's reading.
The most impressive thing is the shield for sure... makes me feel a whole lot better using it cuz they're not really legal...
I will say it occasionally will miss a trap or two, but usually that only occurs in extreme topographies.
I also want to warn you of something: don't try to take on a cop one on one! They will always win. They have superior equipment, plain and simple. This detector works way better if there are some other drivers around that are hopefully distracting the cop for that split second when you slow down.

What is the best radar detector under $100?
  Cobra XRS-9930 12-Band Radar/Laser Detector
Cobra makes a really solid little radar detector. I would say for this price range, this is probably the best unit you can get. I would recommend it as a great starter-intermediate detector because it works really well and consistently but doesn't have some of the advanced features that you might find on a more expensive model.
It recognizes 12 different bands... enough to cover anything used in radar equipment today....including 6 radar and 4 laser signals. You will be practically invisible to VG-2 and Spectre. Has an auto shutdown feature so it turns off when you turn the ignition off.
Another GREAT feature is that only the first beep in a series is loud, the rest are quiet. This was a huge annoyance to me in the past with other units...why does it keep reminding me of the same radar at that same high volume?? AAAGGH But this one quiets down after it gets your attention.
I would say the only issues I've had with it are that it's kind of hard to see the display sometimes during the bright daytime hours, and the range is only decent....nothing amazing. I would say it reads almost a half mile away, maybe a solid half mile in clear conditions.

They have shatterproof polycarbonate lenses with a scratch resistant coating, and uv400 protection. Also, the foam inside is very soft and feels great against my skin... almost feels like it's TOO delicate though and might deteriorate after a season of riding.
They feel very comfortable on my head and create a great seal... minimal fogging, too. I suggest them for light-medium intensity biking.

What is the best remote starter system for my car under $100?
  VIPER 5301 2-WAY REMOTE START SYSTEM
Don't be discouraged by the silly people that say the buttons are so sensitive that your car starts all the time by accident. They don't know that there is a key lock on this remote (of course there is) that makes this problem go away. I seriously read like 5 reviews online somewhere in which people were saying they never use their viper or they hate it because the butons are so sensitive and they accidentally start their car all the time.
Well, yes, the buttons are very sensitiv, maybe a bit too sensitive... but activate the key guard and then all you have to do is press function and then unlock. Easy as that...just like a cell phone.
This system is nice because it can work on automatic and manual transmissions (as long as you have the correct bypass) and has a really long 2-way range. I love my viper and think it is a great cold weather starter remote with other cool features.
I think vipers get over looked sometimes because of the sensitive remote problems, but it is a solid remote and there are ways around the sensitivity! By the way, even if somehow your car does start, it automatically shuts it down in 15 minutes, so it;s no big deal. Try one of these out.. and remember to activate the key guard!

I like Slime! Never heard of this company before buying this machine, but they make a really nice little product that is super easy to use. Over all this thing is constructed very well, with the exception being some plastic parts that are liable to snap off.
It's pretty heavy, but nothing unexpected. It has a max PSI of 150, so it can do some heavy work. Has an easy to read gauges and a work light built right into it for your convenience, as well as an almost too long 16 foot air hose.
Intuitive use over all.
It does pull 15 amps, so beware! It may not work for you... make sure your car is capable of this before trying to use. My friend's car couldn't handle it when we tried to blow up her tires with it! 15 amps is a substantial amount for any tool to pull from a car.
This is a nice, NOT cheap looking (or cheap feeling) piece of machinery that you should be able to get some serious use out of if you treat it right.

While the lovely graphics are what initially drew me to this beautiful helmet, the safety and comfort are what made me a fan for life and want to share it with the world! Is it, like I mentioned, a beautiful helmet, and I think the graphics set it apart from all others I've seen.
The internal impact absorbing liner is extremely comfortable and there is an oversized front ventilation duct that keeps the air inside moving and keeps you cool.
The aerodynamics are exceptional. It features an oval shape, front to back, which helps in its aerodynamics and makes it generally more comfortable for a wider array of head shapes and sizes. Aslo has a very wide field of vision. My only complaint is that the visor (like on many helmets) is quite tough to swap out without feeling like you're gonna break something... not on the helmet but on the visor hardware. However, it does end up going in and out with no breakage. Great helmet! Check it out!

What an awesome deal for this modular Fuel helmet. These are great helmets and I'm surprised they sell them at such a low price. I love the european look. You should be warned right up front that these are big, bulky helmets.... not for the faint of heart! It looks way too big on me, but I'm not a very large person. The size is directly related to it's ruggedness, though. I mean this thing is very solid all the way around... except on the moveable faceplate.... some of the plastic seems cheap.
The one finger adjuster on the top can be switched to take in air and cool your head, letting it escape through the back 'exhaust' vents.
In general it's quite comfortable, although I haven't worn it for all day rides, and probably wouldn't want to. A nice solid helmet... nothing really wrong with this thing.

  Pyle PLTS77DU 7-Inch Single-DIN In-Dash Motorized TFT/LCD Touchscre...
While this is a pretty awesome looking machine, I don have a bone to pick with Pyle. The unit works really well (after a pretty expensive installation fee) but only once you figure out how to operate it. The manual seriously sucks, like it wasn't translated correctly, and makes navigating this thing pretty difficult in general. Also, the screen retracts into the unit, so in order to make that happen, the unit has to be a bit larger than average, and it sticks out a decent way from my dash. Make sure you have ample space.
Now that all the bad things are out of the way, there are some really cool features that I love and make this a really fun toy. The touch screen is obviously awesome, and has a pretty high quality little 7" LCD screen. There are controls for treble, bass, balance, fader and volume. It also has brightness control, which is a huge plus for night time driving.
And of course it has all the usuals - front aux. in for your ipod and a usb port, can play your CD's and DVD's, just about everything!
I do suggest this to you, but make sure you have some patience getting started!

If you're like me and your audio system is as much about aesthetics as it is sound quality, check out something like this! I finally decided to get satellite radio to see what all the fuss is about and settled on this receiver plate, mostly because it looks nice and sleek, but also because it has a lot of cool features and is easy to install and operate. I love the large color display because I can clearly see what song/band is playing. I also like that I can browse other songs while a song is playing without interrupting it, so I always have something to listen to. This can be dangerous, though, as I tend to get a little distracted....
Remember that you have to get a monthly subscription to use this, so ask for it for your birthday like I did!

What is the best scratch remover for my car under $25?
  Simoniz Fix It Pro Clear Coat Scratch Repair Pen
I recommend this with some apprehension because of the negative reviews I read online. This stuff is designed for real light scratches, and kind of works like it's supposed to, but only sort of. I use it for a slightly different reason. See, the problem right off the bat is that it leaves a super glue-like residue on your car.... a little layer of clear coat that you can see. It will come off, but it's definitely visible.
I only use it for sealing scratches. I have a guy that takes care of any scratches, but I can't always afford to get to him right away, so in the meantime I like to put on a layer of this stuff. It makes a seal on the paint and doesn't allow for any harmful contaminants to get in. Maybe this is just me being paranoid, but he says it's a good idea and I think so, too!

What is the best car cleaning kit under $100?
  Mothers Hardcore Enthusiast Car Care Kit
I wouldn't classify myself as a 'hardcore' enthusiast or anything, but I certainly love having a sparkling vehicle, and this is what I use to make it shine.
I'm pretty anal about my car, and like it to be pretty much spotless inside and out..... it's just one of those things about me. My boyfriend knew this and bought me this kit as kind of a joke but I love it!
It has everything I need and is all high quality stuff. The wax and top coat together produce this gorgeous deep shine, almost as pretty as when I first got it. The real gem in here for me was actually the leather cleaner - it leaves a nice shiny finish on my seats and I think it has UV protectant or something because it keeps my seats tight and fresh for a pretty long time.
You get 24 oz each of the wash, wax, top coat, tire care and leather care, which isn't a ton but it's reasonable. You probably won't need to wash your car quite as often because these nice products are gonna get in there and protect your stuff a little longer. Buy some microfibers, too though! You only get one and you're gonna want more.

What is the best cleaning kit for my car's exterior under $25?

Okay this is not a wax, but it's a pre-wax cleaner that works like a charm. You're still gonna have to buy a wax product to seal in the beautiful shine this stuff creates, but believe me, it's worth it and your car is gonna be sparkling.
It's a multi step process that targets different levels of dirt and grime that inevitably builds up on your vehicle. First, the liquid clay digs deep to remove embedded grime like sap and tar... it really gets in there and disintegrates all that crap. Then you use the clay bar and lubrication spray to remove any surface contaminants that remain (be careful with the bar.... when used too roughly it's liable to pull off some paint... just be smart about it).
Remember that this is just a pre wax, not a whole clean and wax system, and also remember that anything like this is going to require some serious elbow grease, so don't be afraid to get down and dirty with it and scrub real hard!

My only real complaint is that of over all durability. The material, though water proof, seems liable to tear with lots of use.... only time will tell. I wouldn't expect longevity to be a feature you get with this bag. Also, you have to be careful with how you pack it, as it is a soft shell bag. Make sure nothing is hanging over or poking into the sides of it. Also, be sure to strap everything down extra carefully so as not run ANY risk of ripping.
Used correctly, this bag can effectively add 15 cubic feet to your car! that's a lot, folks. Oh and one more thing... make sure to tie off the extra straps that hang off when you tighten it... they will flap all around and annoy the hell outta you like they did me until I tied them down!

What is the best portable GPS navigation unit under $100?
  Garmin nüvi 285W/285WT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS ...
This does everything i want it to do, and even had some features I didn't know I was getting! My parents actually bought this for me as I moved out of state to a very large city. It was perfect for me because it's pre loaded with 2D and 3D city maps... I love the 3D city maps! so cool and such a great tool for confusing city driving, although it can be a little distracting sometimes! However, it also comes with voice prompted turn by turn detailed directions, so there is no excuse for staring too hard at the maps!
It was super easy to attach it to my front windshield, and doesn't obstruct my view at all. The feature that excited me (that for some reason I didn't even realize I was getting) was the bluetooth! I never even thought about getting bluetooth, but I tried it out on my Garmin and it works beautifully and is ridiculously easy to use! Blue tooth is a must have in cities like I live where talking on the phone is always illegal if you are driving!
This unit always gets me where I need to go with little to no confusion, and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who doesn't know where they're going!

What is the best in dash navigation unit under $800?
  Pioneer AVIC-X920BT 6.1-Inch In-Dash Double-Din Navigation A/V Rece...
I got this installed in my car recently (may '11) and have gotten a lot of use out of it.... but I have to say I'm more impressed with the sound system features than the navigation features. I used to have a garmin mobile gps and it seemed to be a better unit for navigation, but it also didn't come with all the cool features that this one has.
It has a nice 'show off to your friends' 6.1" touchscreen that looks very sleek and has a clear picture. It comes with built in blue tooth that is really easy to sync with your phone. The iPod interface is super easy to use... very clear menus and options... and you can even make playlists for your trips! The sound it puts out is really high quality and was an improvement to my stock deck.
My only complaint, like I said earlier, is that the gps is just sub par compared to Garmin's products.... basically it's not as intuitive and I struggle with it and get lost more than with my garmin. I would give it 9/10 for sound quality and looks, but only 5/10 for gps functions.

What is the best in dash navigation unit under $400?
  Jensen VM9414 Single DIN MultiMedia Receiver with 7-Inch Inch Flip ...
I bought this unit because I thought it was really slick that the screen flips out like it does. And it is really cool, and my friends are all impressed. I am somewhat impressed as well overall, but the unit isn't perfect by any means.
First of all, the good stuff. The 7" touchscreen is pretty big for a navigation unit and is always easy to see and easy to use - the menus are all very intuitive. It looks and feels expensive and sturdy. The 3D maps are awesome and look like an image out of the popular computer game Simcity that i used to play when I was younger! I like that.
The audio is pretty nice, and I would almost go as far as to say this was as good an audio purchase as it was a navigation purchase. My iPod plugs right into it via USB and gets a pretty nice sound. I was surprised.
The negs are that the navigation can be kind of finicky and slow, especially the 'recalculating route' thing. Takes forever. The thing also has a difficult time i the city sometimes when there is a ton of stuff going on all around me. Oh yeah... and make sure you download the gps update as soon as you get this, because it's useless without it!

What is the best audio component receiver under $100?
  Sherwood RX-4105 2-Channel 100-Watt Stereo Receiver
If you're looking for something with some real guts and power, look no further. This is a beast of a receiver that I am very pleased with. It puts out 100W per channel, which is enough to tear the walls down in my apartment... and it almost has.....
It has 5 audio inputs an can can be wired into multiple rooms in your house.
I love it because of the clarity at low volume levels. I live in an apartment, so when I'm not tearin the walls down I need to be very conscious of the people around me. This has incredibly clear audio at very low levels, and at the opposite end of the spectrum, very little distortion when it's loud.
It's really bulky and heavy because it has a massive power adapter or something inside it, but that's okay because it's powerful!
My only gripe is that there is no phono input! THis kind of sucks. If you're trying to hook up your old record player, this is not the machine for you!

What is the best hiking backpack under $100?
  Teton Sports Fox 5200 Internal Frame Backpack (Red)
I do a lot of medium intensity hiking. Hike in a few miles, camp for one night, and hike out. This bag is perfect for that sort of thing. I'm not willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a pack right now, so for my purposes, this bag is perfect. It's decently sized, with a 5220 cubic inch main compartment and sleeping bag compartment. It has height adjustable shoulder straps, but generally a smallish frame, so if you're a larger person I wouldn't recommend it. Also has shoulder, lumbar and hip padding for comfort.
Two complaints have arisen though. Though it is fairly compact, it seems quite heavy when it's empty, which discourages me from taking it on longer adventures. I think it's probably heavy because it's made of cheap material (what do you expect for that price) and the fabric doesn't give me the impression that's it's going to last forever.
Over all it's great, though, and I've sure gotten my money's worth!

What is the best at home espresso machine under $300?
  Nespresso C100-US-AERO Essenza Automatic Single-Serve Espresso Mach...
There are so many great things about this machine.... unfortunately there's this one factor that turns a lot of people off to it. The same factor is actually what attracted me to it, though! What am I talking about? E.S.E. pods. They are super easy to use (a monkey could make espresso with this machine) pre packaged espresso packets. It stands for Easy Serving Espresso. You basically pop it in there and press a button and it's done. Perfect for me, the casual coffe drinker who is not super picky with my beans. It's a completely automatic single serving experience.
This thing features auto and programmable coffee quantities, electronic temp regulators, and ensures that delicious crema every time. Really nice in the morning when the last thing I want to do is fool around with a super complicated machine. Also comes with a one touch frother.
My only complaint is that you end up having to buy a certain type of coffee pod through the same company, so they totally monopolize your business, and it's completely on purpose. Plus you have to pay shipping costs every time you order coffee. This is a terrible system. But it works for me at the moment, and the coffee is really good!

What is the best hair straightener under $200?
  ghd Professional Advanced Ceramic Heat-Styler, 1"
This is the professional model straightener I had to by when I went to cosmetology school. I was kind of mad at first that they were forcing all of us to buy one of these because they are really expensive... but wow they are worth the money fo sure, a hundred times over.
I can't really think of anything bad to say about it, except to watch out for counterfeits. Oh, and watch out before buying on amazon... I'm not sure if they honor the warranty or offer one at all.
I love my ghb primarily because of its versatility. I can use the curved barrel to straighten hair or create waves and curls... anything I want to do is possible. It uses negative ions and infrared heat to offer a less damaging experience and help seal the cuticle and get a shiny, static free look. This is an amazing straightener! Everyone needs one!

  Remington S9500 Salon Collection Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener ...
I think this is a really cool idea that makes a lot of sense! And it seems to work! Remington has infused actual crushed pearls into this ceramic plate, using the rationalization that pearls are super silky and smooth.... why not use them to make your hair silky?!
it's really slim and small and maneuverable, and can handle a variety of hair types. Probably not for extreme coarsness, but maybe because it gets so darn hot. I will say the clamping ability is somewhat sub par with this one.... it's actually sometimes kind of difficult to get a good solid clamp that hols the hair like I want it to.
But in general, this is a nice straightener that rises to the challenge!

What is the best small flash memory camcorder under $500?
  Sony HDR-TG1 4MP High Definition Handycam Camcorder with 10x Optica...
Seriously folks this is a great camcorder to take with you anywhere.....it's made out of titanium! Indestructible (almost). Ok, so here are all the necessary facts I know you want:
This camera records in 1920 X 1090 HD video and takes 4 megapixel stills. It features face detection for both video and stills. It has a 2.7" LCD screen and Sony's own SteadyShot Image Stabilization. They have incorporated a new BIONZ image processor for exceptional still photos. It's beautiful and sleek and extremely tough. I keep mine in my purse pretty much all day everyday and it only barely scratched.
Here's the bad part (you knew this was coming) This camera compresses it's video format to that of AVCHD. Because it's compressed, there's a definite risk of getting lower quality images. This tends to happen especially in low light situations. So if you avoid these situations, should be a happy camper! I know I am.

What is the best small flash memory camcorder under $100?
  Flip MinoHD Video Camera - Chrome, 4 GB, 1 Hour (1st Generation) OL...
For under $100 you might have to consider a slightly older model to get the highest quality possible. This flip is a 1st generation but it just might rock your world!
It records about an hour of HD video (1280 X 720 res which is pretty darn good) at 30 frames/second, in 16:9 widescreen. It has a smal capacity at 4 gigs...so keep this in mind.
Aesthetically it is very pleasing to the eye with its chrome finish and lightweight, 3.3 oz design. The flip out arm makes it very easy to share your videos online, although sometimes can be a hindrance, depending on where your computer is set up and your accessibility to the USB port.
The software that comes with it is cool because you can organize, edit, and add music to your videos however you see fit. I love this part! Takes your movie to a whole new personalized level.
The 1.5" screen is pretty small but the picture is fantastic. In general the HD video quality is pretty amazing, especially for the price. I will say the sound is very mediocre, and I wish there was a better mic or a mic jack.
The biggest problems seem to be durability. I actually had to send my first one back through the mail because it didn't work when I received it. I bit the bullet and waited for my replacement, hoping it would be better. It works great! No problems with my second one. Just make sure when you get it that everything works perfectly, because the warranty in only like 90 days. Happy filming!

It does not have rolling sushi rice papers, so add that to you grocery list (also add all the fresh fish and veggies and stuff!).

It will convert your mic signal to a digital signal that your computer can work with. Addition wires and software are needed, so make sure you look into it and buy all the correct and necessary equipment!

What is the best foot massager?
  The Sharper Image MSG-F110 Deep Kneading Shiatsu Foot Massager, Black
There is something about sharper image products that I love and trust. Maybe it's just that going into that store is so cool... but whatever it is, I love this this foot massager. My boy friend bought me this after hearing me complain about my feet for months, and being sick and tired of rubbing my feet all the time.
It's completely toe operated, so you don't have to bend over at all, and at the touch of a button you can turn on the shiatsu massaging balls and another turns on the heat. The many little massaging balls knead deeply into the soles of your feet, digging out that tension, and the heat relaxes your muscles, making it that much ore effective.
make sure you only use it for clean feet, tough, cuz there's no way to take the fabric off, and it runs the risk of smelling like dirty feet :(

This is a really nice system for men and women alike. You will definitely notice that your hair looks and feels thicker and healthier. But just know that your hair isn't going to like grow back insane amounts or get super lush or anything!
I feel like some people buy products like these assuming that all their hair is going to magically grow back everywhere, but you need surgery to make that happen. This product adds nutrients and health to your existing hair, it doesn't create new growth.
In my experience, though, there is a definite, noticeable difference in volume and thickness when using this. It makes your hair look better, but doesn't stop it all from falling out.

I bought this to blow the air around and into my bedroom, and it really works! The 20" blade pumps out a lot of air, especially on the high setting. It can be a little loud on high, so I usually keep it on medium (it has three settings).

You can tilt it up to any angle, which is great because heat rises. The cold air that sinks to the floor can be aimed up at the ceiling, dispersing it more evenly. I have found that some of these plastic fans can be fairly cheap feeling and looking, but not this one. It looks and feels pretty durable.

  Brother LS2125I Easy-To-Use Lightweight Basic 10-Stitch Sewing Machine
This is a great option for the beginner sewer and the the advanced sewer alike! It's a high quality machine that is super easy to use. If you read through the directions and do what they say, you will be sewing before the end of the day! For real! This machine is really light and easy to handle. It has 10 built in stitch options, including hem, zigzag, and elastic, and has an easy to use, 4 step buttonholer. It runs on 110 volts with a foot pedal, giving it the power you need to sew even the toughest materials. It's extremely easy to thread, and in general was designed to make sewing a less daunting and confusing task!

What is the best clothes to run in?
  Pearl iZUMi Women's Fly Split Running Short,True Red,Small
I recommend these for a couple of reasons. First, I personally like the old split up the side style short. It's more comfortable to me and keeps me cooler than the super tight legging style. I think the leggings are a little overbearing and just too tight all the way around. Some people like that, but for me it's too much. I also suggest these because they have a pocket in the butt for your keys/money/whatever. It's a nice feature that you won't find on all running shorts.

What is the best deal on a synthetic jewelry necklace?
  Sterling Silver Synthetic Pink Pearl Necklace
Pearls are so beautiful! With something like this it's very hard to tell that it's fake. I wouldn't recommend a whole string of fake pearls, though, because on the real ones there is a little knot between each pearl, so if the necklace breaks anywhere the pearls won't go flying every which way. Fake pearl necklaces don't have this option usually, so your pearls are liable to go flyin! This piece is understated and elegant, and is attached to sterling silver.

What is the best basinet or cradle for a newborn ?
  Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Natural
I highly suggest this co-sleeper... especially if you plan to breastfeed. I bought it for the reasonable price and because of all the great reviews I read online. It's really compact and fits very nicely right next to my bed in my small apartment bedroom. I suggest it for breastfeeding because you actually don't even have to get out of bed to nurse your baby, just sit up and you're about ready to go! Amazing for those many sleepless nights! It has a nice feature that keeps it right next to the bed all night long - a flap that tucks under your bed and holds it in place. It also converts to a changer, and has height adjustable legs, so no ore bending over or lower back pain! My only gripe is that it's not super durable feeling. However, seeing as it's for the gentle activity of taking care of your infant, this should never be an issue!

What is the best water saving dishwasher under $1000?
  Haier HDC1804TW 4-Place-Setting Tabletop Dishwasher
If you are serious about saving water and energy, go with a small tabletop unit like this. My boyfriend and I use ours every time we cook (about 3-5 times a week) and it works pretty well. We can't always fit everything in though, so we usually end up washing one or two pans by hand.... which doesn't bother me. Still saves a lot of time. You can easily fit 4 table settings in there, and it basically cleans your dishes like a ful size one would. It has 3 different wash cycles to choose from (another water saving option) and is surprisingly easy to set up, as it connects right to your faucet. Watch out, though... it weighs like 50 pounds so it can be a handful (we ended up just leaving it on the counter). My only complaint is that it is a little loud, so don't start it when you have company over or anything.

What is the best queen size air mattress under $100?
  Wenzel Insta-Bed Queen Raised Sure Grip Bottom with Built-in Pump
My parents actually bought me this bed so they could use it when they visit! Ha ha parents are so funny. It's really amazing though - I've used it for the 'rents and a couple of girlfriends. It's raised up off the ground, as if there were a boxspring included. This is really important to me, because sleeping right on the ground can be gross and uncomfortable. It inflates in 90 seconds (a little longer if you want it extra firm) and power deflates as well. Did I say extra firm? Yes! It has a patented Flex Coil design for people who like a firm mattress. This is a nice feature with an air mattress, as it enables you to inflate more with out the risk of over-inflation-induced-popping! Also has grips on the underside to reduce slipping, which is great on my hardwood floors, and a convenient carry case is included. No leaks as of yet.... not even a slow all night leak! I highly recommend this bed.

It has real people to interview and scenes to investigate. If you want to please a younger crowd, any of the Mystery Case Files series would be perfect! (I'm pretty sure the whole series is Mac compatible.)

It is fantastic in high ranges, and even has a built in pop filter (so those hard 'T's and 'S's don't punch too hard. Also, it's a dynamic mic, so it does not require phantom power like a condenser mic will. Can't go wrong with this one.
