Hopkins Subzero 16621 Ice Crusher Ice Scraper

Nice sturdy construction, one blade for ice and one for frost. Works well, and large enough to reach across those large windshields. Nice enough, in fact, for my wife to take one for her car. She isn't easily impressed...this is a good buy.

i like how it has a nice foamy grip which works well with gloves. Both ends of it work well to scrape ice and snow. I used the toothed end many times to clean the underside of the car/fender to fit chains in after driving in the snow/ice for a while.

Living in the upper midwest provides all sorts of icy deposits on windshields. This scraper is great for plowing through a heavy ice buildup. The "teeth" on one end cut through and break the ice up while the scraper end clears it away. I had one of these for years and then it went missing (could it be my husband saw its virtues?) so had to order another one. Wouldn't be without this little marvel in the winter.

i've only used it once, which was on a light frost morning. it made short work of the frost and I was off to work! I only had to use the wide flat side and I'm hoping not to have to try out the other side in case of ice or heavy frost!

Samsung UN22D5003 22-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV Reviews

We redecorated a small room and mounted this TV at eye-level while sitting. Whoa. Crisp, clean image running off the antenna. Picked up the $15 articulating mount. Makes it easy to adjust viewing angles to different sitting positions. Great "other TV" for family gatherings when you don't want to watch what the crowd is watching.

I bought this TV because of the its 5 stars rating by that time and the true motion chipset.
Plese keep away of this TV, angle view is its biggest defect, you can barely perceive the image once you stop watching it perpendicularly.
As a monitor it is also a crap, colors are not natural. Sound is also low and wrecky when in top level.

OH, I amost forgot. When testing your TVs chose a dark image (preferably full black) and turn ambient lights off, if you don't see the screen in uniform black then it is of low quality. I did it with this Samsung, it had several lightened areas which means it was awufuly failed.

I returned it and gave a chance to VISIO, the best I could have done.

I purchased this TV to replace a 17 year old 13" Magnavox and a 10 year old ViewSonic Monitor, so far so good. It doesn't have many inputs and the Component and A/V inputs are shared (meaning you can't have both plugged in at once, or if you can I haven't figured out how yet). The picture quality really is excellent, especially as a widescreen monitor. I have an older PC system and am running it through the TV via a DVI-HDMI cable. There is no VGA input on this TV, which I was expecting (because I didn't read the specs carefully enough). The picture quality is also excellent as a TV; I have a VCR and DVD player connected to it as well as some gaming systems and they all look great. I can't comment too much on the sound as I have all my electronics hooked up to my stereo receiver. It should be noted however that this TV has no audio out so you can't hook up headphones or external speakers directly to it. For it's size and probable use though, the audio sounds good. It was easy to set up, with all the controls being pretty intuitive. My only real problem with the TV would be the stand. It seems stable enough and I have no fear that it will tip over or break, but it's non-adjustable. This isn't too big a problem as the TV has a pretty wide viewing angle, but it still seems like it should have some adjustments on it. Overall I'm very satisfied with the TV so far, though I've only had it a few days. Will it last as long as my Magnavox? Odds are it won't, especially as I'm using it as a dual purpose unit, but for however long it lasts, I think it'll be a good little TV.

Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera Reviews

I have owned the Canon cameras for a while, upgrading every 2 yrs. This one I returned. I'm sure it's a nice camera, but the new anti-slip feel on the outside body of the camera feels like sandpaper - so not a nice experience holding the camera. They probably did it to make it non-slip, but end result is a nasty sandpaper feel.

I owned tens of pos in the last tens of years, i think this is one of the best pocket camera I've owned. I was considering about to have another camcorder to replace an old Sanyo. now I realize I can take this slim baby instead of taking the heavy 5D II and all lens or Pentax-7/X and camcorders. It does all general routing jobs. Image is quite crispy,and super wide range lens perform just well
after playing a while, I immediately got another one for dad.
highly recommended

Looking Better With Age: A Side Effect of Mini-Retirement

It’s a bit weird for me to look back on our wedding photos. Contrary to how many people feel about their own body evolution (“Would I ever fit into that wedding dress now?”) I think that we are both in better shape and generally look better today. A large factor is our not working and having a significant amount time to be active.
When I was working on Wall Street I ate huge, ridiculously unhealthy lunches, and my dinners were frequently no different. I had a huge appetite, especially for sweet deep-fried Chinese food – definitely not the best stuff to put in my body. I would sit at a desk for hours, plugging away at Excel, eating as though I were still in my powerlifting phase of life.
When I quit my job in January 2010 I didn’t intentionally exercise more. I just had more time to move around. There was no reason to sit all afternoon: I wanted to experience the sunny part of the day. When we worked on the resort in the Dominican Republic we spent the vast majority of our time outside. In two months of not trying, I shed a good amount of fat.
Now that I’m spending my time climbing, biking, and cooking healthy food, I’m feeling great. If you’re looking for another reason to drop your desk job, consider the potential benefits not only to your mental well-being, but to your physical well-being as well.
