I bought this for my dorm room to host movie parties and so far it has really been worth the money. It worked perfectly with my Macbook Pro (I purchased a VGA adapter from the Apple store) and Lenova/Dell Windows based PCs. The video quality is really superior for its price and it’s a great buy if you’re just going to watch movies on the wall. This projector is light, yet not flimsy, and following the instructions, it was quick to set up. There are two ports for computers (I needed to project my laptop’s contents), and initially I plugged the cable (VGA, comes with the projector) into Computer 1, which didn’t work, as the projected picture seemed to be stuck on “Computer 2″, which wasn’t receiving changing the settings, so I plugged the cable into the “Computer 2″ port, and it worked. I tried changing the projector from C2 to C1 via its Settings menus, but it wouldn’t change. I haven’t looked into this further. Based on the reviews at this site I purchased the ViewSonic for both home use and small group presentations. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the connection was made from my MacBook Air 11″ using the Mac Video out connector (purchased at the Apple store) to the projector. From the ease of connectivity and portability to the bright output I am very satisfied with the projector. This projector was selected over other projectors because of the reasonable price point and the impressive features. I was amazed at the overall quietness, sharpness, and beautiful bright vivid projected images. It appears to have the least amount of energy expended for a projector in this class.

I purchased this scanner to scan 35 mm negatives and convert them to jpeg. The color conversion from negative to positive is almost flawless. It does take about 25 minutes to scan one strip of negatives at 2500 dpi–but if you are willing to take the time, the results are worth it. The software is limited: the dust removal works well, but there is no way to turn pictures without using another program. Combining this with Photoshop makes a virtually professional-grade photo processing studio. I wanted a scanner specifically for digitalizing old photos. After scouring the internet for reviews of different products I ordered this and couldn’t be happier! Aside from the high quality output (I haven’t seen any need to further enhance the photos, even though the software is included) I’m thoroughly impressed that I can just place 1-6 photos anywhere on the scanner and it scans them up as individual photos perfectly aligned, etc. I am undertaking a project to scan every photo, slide, negative etc. that we have amassed over the last thirty or so years. My wife has color slides from the 60′s, and we have a lot of negatives that we don’t even know if we have the pictures to any longer. I expect it to take a year to get everything scanned, and who knows how long after that to get it organized.
The software is really very easy to use. I have played around with the settings and came up with ones that are getting me good results. I have been scanning three pictures at a time, which in itself is very nice and a great time saver. I love how you don’t have to put stuff in the corner (origin) but just place anywhere on the scanner and it finds it.

The day I received these in the mail, I was so excited to try them on that I didn’t even notice the defect. So my first impressions were very favorable: cuddly soft around the ankles, durable rubber soles, and a toe box that didn’t cramp my toes together. I imagined my winter expeditions with my dog through snow, on ice, and in puddles (as any/all of these can occur in our winters in southern ohio) while my feet (and ankles) stay dry, warm, and with traction on a variety of surfaces…..However, I didn’t get passed the imagination stage because then I saw that one of the boots came with an eyelet/hook not attached to the boot’s material. I sent them back, asking to make an exchange for a new pair, so hopefully the second pair arrives with no defects. What I was most disappointed in, though, was that the whole return/exchange could have been avoided altogether if someone in the packaging process would have opened the box and examined the boots before shipping them. It’s not like the Sorel box (inside the packaging box) was taped shut; someone could have opened the lid easily and checked the boots, perhaps using some sort of 5-pt checklist for shoes/boots: stitching okay? soles okay? shoe material okay? laces okay? eyelets/hooks okay?, for example. Just got my boots. They are really cute, very comfortable and not too heavy. Great value for the price (got them during an Amazon sale plus my Prime account free shipping). They’ll be really great in cold, wet weather and snow.This boot is fully lined and has warmth and soft easy to walk in. The top of the boot comes up just high enough I would buy these boots for you. They say it’s going to be a harsh winter I’m ready. I think most ladies would like these. Kinda chunky cute-however, the right boot rubbed my heel even with socks. This not did take hours to happen, it was within minutes around my house. Even without that the boot was just to heavy for my taste.

Machine arrived well packaged. Instructions were dead on. Price was great and Amazon had 12 months interest free. All that is just before family used the machine. I read up and selected the Schwinn 431. It is a quality elliptical and works smoothly. The programs are good and I like the water bottle holder. The fan is ok – it doesn’t throw off much air. Once set up it is easy to move and it doesn’t take up much room
I recommend this machine. I researched for along time before making this purchase. I am so satisfied. I have had the Elliptical Trainer for a month now and do a solid workout every morning. Lost 6 lbs. in three weeks. It is quiet, easy to assemble and doesn’t make noise when working out. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting exercise equipment. The first machine was damaged in shipping. It happens. The one that arrived, appart from obviously being NOT NEW, seems to be ok. It’s not built by Schwinn. It’s a Bowflex, there’s Bowflex documentation in the box. I suspect that Bowflex makes the same machine under another model number. Shop the best deal between them. Assembly went fine except for the extra, loose hardware that was in the packaging from the first time it was assembled. Extra parts confuse things. The only thing that doesn’t work is the fan. It would work except the plastic vane that adjusts the airflow is broken and wedged in the blades.

I’ve had these boots for a while (will be 2 years this December). I love them. Very comfy. I wear a size 11 in sneakers and got a size 11 in these boots, and they fit perfectly. I have the chocolate boots and they still look like new almost 2 years later. I love the look of this kind of boot, but just can’t see myself paying $150+ for 1 pair of Uggs. With Bearpaw I can get 2-3 pairs for the price of 1 pair of uggs. These shoes are great, warm, comfy, and most definitely as good as the Uggs. The only problem for me is that they fit a size too small so i have to go a size up and then the calf area tends to be too big. still love these shoes…bought them, need to exchange for a bigger size and i haven’t done that yet.
