Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (furmination) 『I love this product. My cats have short coats, but this doesn't deter the furminator. I seriously could not believe how much it took off of them even with their short coats. Plus, they love to be combed so it's like a win-win. But, if you don't believe how amazing it is by all of these reviews, check out all of those pics. They don't lie.』
(Every Cat Owner Needs One of These!) 『This is the best cat grooming tool...ever! And since my cat is used to being combed, he had no problem at all getting used to it. In fact, he purred even louder and longer while being groomed with the FURminator! I only wish I had known about this sooner. Get one...and tell all your friends with pets to get one, too!』
(A whole new cat...) 『This brush is almost too capable, in that it's sort of an intensive experience for the cat. Like some punishing deep tissue massage, he can only handle so much. At the end of though, usually there enough fur to roll into a decent sized ball and give to the cat, which baffles him.』
(wonderful item) 『I was very skeptical about this product, as I have tried a deshedding brush in the past and one of my cats wouldn't sit still for 5 seconds when using it. This older cat (11 yrs old) is upset with me, as I brought 2 kittens into the house; but now he wants attention. As soon as I got the FURminator I went to him on his perch and he actually sat for over 5 minutes while I used it to comb him. He just LOVED it, he sat up and wanted to be sure that I got both sides of his neck and chest area. I now use it every other day, to keep his coat looking great. Plus since he is now looking for attention, I take him into a separate area (away from the kittens) and he loves our one-on-one time while I groom him.』

(Normally great company didn't think this product through) 『I wouldn't waste my time writing a review unless I thought the product was a total dud or an outstanding product. This product is a total dud. It is well constructed to be sure, but the overwhelming fact is 14 oz IS NOT enough. When I got the product, I could not believe how small a volume for the coffee vs how bulky this thing is. Do they think somebody would carry this thing on their backpack with the carbinar(?) worth the effort for the small volume of coffee they would get?

Like many people, I love them for their early work, particularly Under the Table and Dreaming, Before These Crowded Streets and Crash. It was a coincidence of the spirit of the times, a young and joyful band, and their loose, improvisational style. There is no way to go back to that. Their past three albums (Everyday, Busted Stuff, Stand Up) have been a noticeable dip in the 'magic' they had (though their live act has remained excellent). Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King seems to be a climb back into a new space of musical creation. It feels as though the death of Leroi Moore has given them the spiritual resources to bring into focus the more rock'n'roll/funk style that they have been experimenting with since Everyday.
While I do not like this style as much as their early work, it is obviously a genuine development for the band, and it is good to see them produce a record of substantial quality again. BW&GGK is permeated by a spirit of mournful joy, of bereavement and celebration of memories, and the band plays with energy and conviction. Standout tracks for me are 'Shake Me Like a Monkey', with it's infectious beat, 'Spaceman' as a classic Dave sleazy love ballad, and 'You&Me', with it's bright pop sensibility.』
(Their best) 『I have to admit that Dave Matthews was an aquired taste. I just didn't get him, his music or his band when they fist hit the scene. After some exposure, though, I had to admit I was hooked. What really stands out is that this is a group of MUSICIANS, who know and undertand music and play it outside the POP box. There is a lot going on, on DMB tracks. You can't just listen to a song once, because its too much to take in just once. This CD rocks. Its the best yet. Every track on this CD is awesome. A rocking, yet poignent tribute to their fallen comrade. Why I Am, is my personal favorite. The arrangement, the complexity of the music. Great CD. The best yet. A lot to live up to though.』
(The music on this CD is pretty good) 『I don't listen to a lot of music these days. I just listen to sports talk and stuff when I'm in the car. Anyway, I got this CD as a birthday present and it's pretty good. Not as good as my Buffet "Greatest Hits" CD, but it's cool. It's kind of rockin', but also sounds a little jazzy and a little funky. I don't dance to it because I don't dance. Well, OK, I'll like slow dance with my wife if we're at a wedding, but you know, whatever. Anyway, I put this CD on when I'm just doing stuff around the house and most of the time I forget it's even on. Which is totally cool. Even my wife likes it, which is totally cool too, since she mostly listens to Josh Groban and stuff. I even had it on when my frat bro Stan and his wife came over for Scattergories the other night. Stan said "Dude, is that the new Dave Matthews CD?" And I'm like, "Yeah." And Stan said "Awesome." That was good, because the last time they came over, I put on a Sting CD and Stan had too many Heinekens and started going off on Sting being a commie. Look, I hate commies too, but I'm like "Dude, you like need to chill out and stuff." Anyway, while it's a pretty cool CD, I wouldn't recommend putting it on if you and the wife are scroggin'. For that, I recommend an album called "Roxy Music" by the band Avalon. Works every time, chief. Later days.』
(Sorry, but no...) 『I'm totally baffled by the number of positive reviews here. I could see maybe a few people liking it, a few thinking it was average, etc. But 95 ratings of 5 stars???? Almost seems like people who rated it this high never heard Dave's first albums. Because if I could rate this half a star, I would. Why? Honestly, there's not much to say, beyond the usual reasons we love/hate songs. I'm more of a music/melody kind of guy, so the music will make it or break it. Meaning, while the lyrics are a nice addition if they're good, I won't like a song with the best lyrics and crappy music. So I won't comment on lyrics here because I can't even get past the music. I don't find the melodies catchy, didn't find any riffs that are particularly cool, etc. There isn't even one single on this that I enjoy listening to. In other words, disappointing music by DMB's standards.』
(LeRoi Moore's Final Recording With DMB Turns Out Nicely) 『Dave Matthews Band Big has overcome some up and down recordings over the years to produce the best work in years on Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. This CD contains the last studio recordings of saxophonist LeRoi Moore who died prior to final production from injuries resulting from an ATV accident. Big Whiskey opens and closes with solos from Moore. The opening solo, "Grux" leads directly into the high energy rocker, "Shake Me Like A Monkey". Matthews his lower register for much of this one to give more of an edge to his delivery. Rashawn Ross' trumpet is also featured prominently on this one. However things slow down to a large degree on the introspective "Funny The Way It Is". Matthews uses his falsetto to contrast many dichotomies such as "someone's going hungry/someone else is eating out" or "somebody's broken heart becomes your favorite song", but he proclaims these "not right or wrong". The song structure is also interesting as it uses multiple instrumental and lyrical bridges after the verses and chorus. I could go on and on, but it is just very well done.
Things stay mellow on the next track "Lying In The Hands Of God" - another standout track. It is impossible to listen to this masterful song and not think of Moore and his passing although this might not have been the original intent.
Another musically interesting song is "Squirm", a slow and driving track with plenty of musical tension. It features an orchestral arrangement with violins that bring a very different sound that what we hear from Boyd Tinsley elsewhere on the Big Whiskey. The tension rises as the line "Drum beats louder" leads into the guitar and string flourish preceding the chorus. This is another nice job of avoiding run-of-the-mill pop/rock music.
However, not every song works out on Big Whiskey. "Seven" is does not match the other songs in being either musically interesting or catchy and the lyrics are rather repetitive. This is really the only true criticism that I can offer for this CD, and this is the first recording from Dave Matthews Band that I can say that about it quite a while.
As a final note, it is clear that Matthews was searching for deeper meaning in life, but the lyrics often show either confusion or the ability to hold contradictory positions. "Why I Am" has the oddest occurrences with the line "I grew drunk on water turned to wine" in a verse that was also preceded by the line "I grew from monkey into man". I found it odd to reference a miracle of Jesus after a statement of evolution. Later in the same song he rather flippantly quips "Heaven or hell I'm going there with the GrooGrux King". "Time Bomb" also has some interesting references - "If Martians fell from the sky/What would that do to God" and "Baby when I get home/I wanna believe in Jesus". As a final example, "Shake Me Like A Monkey" has "God or the devil alone/Could not have made you up/the two must have worked as one together".
All in all, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King is a very good CD from Dave Matthews Band. There is a lot to like and enjoy on the final studio CD that will include LeRoi Moore. The music is good, and the lyrics will make you think. It is hard to ask for a lot more than that.
Download this: Funny The Way It Is』 『Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance),Big Whiskeyhas been hailed byRolling Stoneas the group’s "heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally," which went on to note: "Throughout, Carter Beauford beats out elaborate, propulsive groves; bassist Stefan Lessard lays down Flea-style funk bass lines; violinist Boyd Tinsley plays cresting, intense runs; and Matthews mirrors Moore’s saxophone lines with scatlike singing."Billboard, in a cover story on Dave Matthews Band, praisedBig Whiskeyas "its best album yet⦠Highlights include the funk-rock rave-up 'Shake Me Like a Monkey,' the stirring ballad 'Lying in the Hands of God,' the swampy rocker 'Alligator Pie (Cockadile),' radio-friendly fare like 'Why I Am,' which features playful horns over a solid rock riff and a hooky chorus, and 'Funny the Way ItIs,' which parlays a subtle intro into a soaring, syncopated anthem."』 『2009 release, the first studio album in over four years from American singer/songwriter Dave Matthews and his trusted band.

I am a big fan of the crooners and Michael does a great job of these classic songs. Excellent music for a romantic dinner.』
(MODERN DAY SINATRA) 『I love this CD! I have 3 Michael Buble CDs and they get alot of play. Great dinner music! Other than his Christmas CD, this one is my favorite.』
(Love it!) 『I first heard this CD while walking through a book store. I wasn't looking to buy any music but when I heard that voice I just had to have it. When I got into my car I tossed my new book in the back seat and popped Buble in the CD player and drove around till I had heard it at least twice. Some of my favorite traveling music. A new voice that give new life to some old standards. What a find!』
(Michael Buble) 『This album was recorded in 2003, just as he was getting his feet wet. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" and "The Way You Look Tonight" are just a few of the ballads. Old Blue Eyes is represented by "Come Fly With Me" and "Summer Wind". "Sway" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" are upbeat. David Foster did it again with this album. A void has been filled since losing Sinatra and Martin by Buble recording their music.』
(this generation of Frank Sinatra crooning) 『excellent, I want my grandchildren to enjoy this type of music, to learn what good music is all about』 『Pop's rush to raid the cradle continues with this promising debut by 25-year-old Canadian singer Michael Bublé. And while the young vocal star's good looks are smart enough for a boy band, his muse seems to have sprung from a more sassy and compelling musical era. Mentored by Paul Anka (whose '50s hit "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" is covered in dreamy, cabaret fashion here), Bublé sings in the orbits ofDarin and Sinatra, covering swing epoch gems ("Come Fly with Me," "The Way You Look Tonight," "That's All") and rock era standards (Van Morrison's "Moondance," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by the Brothers Gibb, Queen's "Crazy Little Ting Called Love") with equal aplomb. David Foster's production is typically slick and played to the back row of the bleachers, but it's informed by smart contexts provided by such arrangers as Johnny Mandel, Randy Waldman, and Mike Melvoin. If the choices of material are sometimes staid and predictable, they also give the singer a crucial framework for building toward something more challenging; his is a bright future.--Jerry McCulley』 『Producer David Foster (Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston) has a new discovery in the wake of a very successful young find Josh Groban. Michael Buble (pronounced boo-blay) is a 25-year-old singing sensation whose smooth voice&heartthrob style harks back to the swingin' greats of earlier decades, to the likes of Frank&Dean, but also speaks to a new generation's sensibility. 2003 self-titled debut from Reprise/143.』

(Fearless Karaoke!) 『I'm so happy and have been waiting for this to come out! Here are a couple things to mention.
Pros: This is a great addition to anyone's karaoke collection. It has hit songs, such as "Love Story" and "White Horse". You can take this CD with you anywhere and it'll play in your car or CD player! You can also sing along to the words when you put the DVD into a DVD player.
Cons: The bad thing that disappoints me about this is the fact the DVD only comes with one audio track. You can only listen to the karaoke. The previous karaoke for the debut album, "Taylor Swift", came with the original album songs, karaoke with backing vocals, AND the instrumentals (no vocals). This CD/DVD seems to be lacking those extra features.
I give this 4 stars! ****』
(A Great Buy!) 『If you are fan of this new country star then you will love this CD/DVD combo of her second album now karaoke. Sing all 13 tracks from Fearless.
Both the CD and DVD are the original tracks without Taylor's vocals.
The CD is CD+G so you can use it in your Karaoke machine plus it plays in your computer and CD player or car CD player where it will play like a regular CD.
The DVD is for you to use to play in you computer's DVD player or your your regular DVD player or if you have a laptop that you can watch DVDs for your use on the road. Plus you can watch the music videos of both Change and Love Story without Taylor's vocals with words across the screen on all songs!
This CD/DVD is great for parties especially if you do Karaoke during them.
An awesome buy for all Taylor Swift fans! Was a little disappointed that they didn't put the White Horse music video on the DVD but other than that it's great!』

So, she takes her life-size stuffed animal bears, that come to life, name Snodle and Doodle, and slide dow the slide and say some magic words. (I couldn't hear what they were.)

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not bad.........) 『I happen to be a fan of Michael Greyeyes in television and film (He was in We Shall Remain one evening most recently in a starring role on PBS). His acting here is fine; somehow this film fell short of what I'd hoped for. I think much of that may have been the film's soundtrack. It sounds like a cheap television series soundtrack. It did nothing to enhance the action taking place on the screen, and that did bother me. Everyone's acting was fine, and I felt the pacing was fine. I just HATED the music!』
(Another cowboy and indian story?) 『The vision quest of Crazy Horse as a young man shows us that the culture of these plains Indians wasn't primitive. In the 300 years since the Spanish brought horses to the new world, they had changed and adapted their hunting culture to the horse. That Indians ever won a battle with American regular troops who had modern weapons and military training, shows that the Indian generals like Crazy Horse could learn and adapt. I think that this side of American history needs to be told and retold as it points to the treaty breaking political nature of our culture that in many ways mimiced the British Empire in India in the double dealings with the people of the lands taken. The slaughter of the Indians and the shipping of the young to schools shattered these cultures completely. It is pretty much a cultural eminent domain story...』

(Crazy Horse, A Warrior I Honor !!) 『This is a really great movie and by far the truest of all movies that I've seen for the Custer battle. Crazy Horse is my hero and I still study a great deal of him and the Lakota/Sioux tribe. I have watched this movie many times and always enjoy watching it, I have also read the book by Sandoz of Crazy Horse. They both are very similar to all the battles, life and trials of Crazy Horse. I wish I could of rode along side of Crazy Horse during these battles. I highly recommend this movie to everyone who wants the clearest knowledge of what really happened. I have finally found this movie with Amazon.com's help, and I am a proud owner to own this movie even though the price of it was a little much. I think it is highly worth every cent, and I hope everyone that buy's this movie and or has seen it enjoys this movie as much as I have myself. History is a virtue and this event was inevitable, What happen to Custer, he deserved! And it wasn't in anyway fair what happen to Crazy Horse, but history has played it's part here and can't be replaced. I respect that this film was made carefully, especially at the time Custer was shot the first and second time killing him, because no one knows for sure whom it was that killed Custer, but Crazy Horse was blamed, and Crazy Horse paid the price for Custer's death along with the USA's Calvery. Like I said, they deserved what they got and thats the way life goes. Michael Greyeyes as well as Wes Studi played excellent roles for Crazy Horse and Red Cloud, Along with all the other characters that played their parts as Spotted Tail, Sitting Bull, Black Shall, Black Buffalo Woman, Little Big Man, as well as Custer too. Great movie and a must see !! ~ Robert ~』
(Oh, Geez!) 『Didn't like this one. Glad to see Native actors/actresses, but this portrayal of Crazy Horse way off the mark as far as I was concerned. Maybe not quite as bad as the first one--Chief Crazy Horse (from the 50s with Victor Mature), but not much better either. Too much Hollywood here--lots of paint horses and feathers. KL』

I do agree that some of it seems "cheesy" now. But, our grandchildren are going to think the same thing about Forrest Gump when they see it a few years from now.』
(Very interesting view of Old West) 『Very interesting twist of the story of George Armstrong Custer and the battle of the Little Big Horn told through the eyes of 130 year old supposed survivor and interesting things that happened to him along the way. Classic....sad and funny at the same time.』 『Jack Crabb is the only white survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn and the centenarian shares his story in this picaresque fable of the Old West. In Arthur Penn's adaptation of Thomas Berger's novel, Dustin Hoffman plays Jack from teen years into old age in a bravura performance. And Jack's story is a fantastic one: captured by Indians as a boy, reared as an Indian, shuttling back and forth between the white and Indian worlds. In the process, he befriends everyone from Wild Bill Hickock to George Armstrong Custer and is a gunslinger, a snake-oil salesman, and an Army scout. This is a solid blend of comedy and tragedy, with a strong statement to make about America's treatment of Native Americans without sermonizing. A terrific cast includes Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, and Richard Mulligan. But this show is all Hoffman's.--Marshall Fine』

(Good product) 『The mask itself is very good. Nice and soft, easy to use; however, the fit would be better if the bottom was shortened. As it is, it presses uncomfortably on area between neck and chin. To remedy this I've cut off about a half inch along the bottom. Because it fits tightly against my neck/chin area, I don't think this lets in any particulate matter. It seems to be very effective.』
(Not good for H1N1, good for other things) 『We had these in case one of us got sick with H1N1 and we had to prevent the other one from getting sick. Well, I got the flu. We bought these because of the "easy to wear for long periods of time" claim. However, we didn't realize that the "valve" was actually a flap that opens when you exhale. Not exactly effective in preventing my germs from getting out in the open when I cough. I should have thought harder about what a "valve" meant, but I was just going off the comfortablility claims rather than what that actually meant. I believe they added the "Sanding" description sometime after I bought it last spring.
I could understand how they would work well in wood working, but in the virus area, get a traditional N95 without the valve.』

The valve is a big upgrade from the old valveless respirators as it provides a way to exhale without fogging your glasses. The fit is good. The respirator is easy to put on and take off; elastic bands keep it on tightly without being overly tight, at least on me; I have not had any problem getting a good fit or seal. The part over the bridge of the nose does interfere with my glasses resting where they should, but I haven't yet found a respirator that doesn't. These are highly recommended for dusty tasks like sanding, cleaning, etc.』 『Uniquely designed to help provide protection.

The only exception I have seen are cheaply made consumer grade (i.e. disposable) models sold at mass market retailers. Until now.
The pink Streamlight Nano is exactly like the black Nano, except that its pink. I had the black one on my keychain until I saw this one. I gave the black one to my husband and promptly ordered this one.
It's a very lovely soft pink color, but has the high quality build construction the regular Nano and other Streamlight lights have.

(Won't Ship to Military--No APO's) 『Nice light, the other reviews cover the pro's and con's adequately; excluding the APO, though, fails to support service men and women. The work-around is to mail it to your home then re-lable the address and send it overseas. Better get moving, Xmass is just around the corner!』
(super!) 『Very small (dainty, even, in pink!), lightweight. Easy on-off. If you "off" it all the way, it comes apart. You have to find a happy medium btw off and "coming apart off"!
My only concern is the spring-loaded clip. I plan to look at my keyring every time I use it. I lost another little flashlight bcs of the clip. (I reviewed it somewhere here; it has a "sapphire light" on it and you squeeze it to light it up. Great little flashlight, but it got lost very soon.)

(Excellent Message For Kids About Giving and Service) 『I bought this video the other day for my girls. I'd have purchased it anyway because we're a Veggies family, but what really caught my eye was that it has a music video and Veggie cartoon promoting Operation Christmas Child. Our church and school support that project and we had the shoeboxes to put together. I put the video in while we did the boxes and it really helped my kids get a better understanding of what we were doing and for whom we were doing it.
The video itself is typical Veggies - it's a great story, framing human tragedies and triumphs in a package that little kids can get, along with all sorts of very funny stuff for Mom and Dad too. You can't go wrong with the Veggies at Christmastime and for $10, what's not to love!?』
(Heartwarming Tale of St. Nick) 『I've told my son that there was, indeed, a "Santa Claus" in the form of St. Nicholas. When I saw that the Veggie Tales crew was coming out with a DVD about St. Nick, I ordered it immediately.
We have quite a few Veggie Tales DVDs (we're not even Christians), and have always found them to be clever, funny and well-produced eye-candy that presents noble values and practices.
We watched Saint Nicholas last night, and my son and I teared up. I didn't know Nicholas lost his parents as a child, and that they basically died while helping others during a plague. They modeled a life of giving and sharing to young Nicholas. In this DVD, Bob, Larry, Nicky Pepper and company demonstrate the origins of St. Nick (and perhaps even practices of Santa Claus, such as filling stockings and passing gifts through the chimney), including the influence his parents had upon him and the community.
The silly song about a dog wanting donuts was pretty corny--not as good as most other silly songs--but hey! we don't buy Veggie Tales for the silly songs anyway. :o)
I wish there were more Bonus Features on this particular DVD (like they have on other ones...such as drawing demonstrations, games, screen saves, etc.), but for the price, the Saint Nicholas Veggie Tales DVD is an absolute gem.
I'm glad we added this to our extensive holiday DVD collection, and I know we'll watch it again and again--and probably without a dry eye each time.
Highly recommended!

You must be starving for entertainment that can not only be funny but actually :: gasp :: intelligent and that can follow in its former footsteps closely with continuity. Well, my friends, there is a solution. Grab a bowl of popcorn and pop in, (or turn on), The Big Bang Theory!
Jim Parsons stars as Sheldon and Johnny Galecki stars as Leonard, two physicists who live together in an updated version of the Odd Couple.
Sheldon is a neat freak with zero sense of humor who can never tell when someone is being sarcastic and very well may be asexual, since he has never had even a hint of attraction for someone that we have seen.
Leonard is the more down-to-Earth of the two and it is because of Leonard that friends Howard Wolowitz, (Simon Helberg), and Rajesh Koothrappali, (Kunal Nayyar), even bother to come over, since Sheldon is, at most times, almost intolerable, (but somehow quite enjoyable just the same).
Leonard is hopelessly head over heels for his and Sheldon's neighbor, Penny, (Kaley Cuoco), a personification of the "dumb blonde" stereotype who works at the Cheesecake Factory and serves as the "Rachel" to Leonard's "Ross", if this were a Friends scenario. Thankfully, save for one minor hook-up that went nowhere, the sexual tension between them still exists and we are now in season three.
Wolowitz is the lovable sleaze of the group. He has all the one-liners to try and get all the women he can get into bed with him. He is also the inferior one of the group, since he is "only an engineer", as Sheldon loves to remind him, while the rest of the group have some sort of academic certification. He also finds the wackiest of clothing combinations and lives with his mother who we never see but only hear her, (reminiscent of Charlie Brown's teacher), and the exchanges between them are hysterical.
Raj has a major problem in that he literally cannot talk to women without the help of alcohol. If they are in a large group, he is fine, but one-on-one, he literally freezes up. Hilarity ensues in season 2 when the group are on a train and Summer Glau guest stars. Raj has a beer to warm himself up to talk to her and Wolowitz is quick to point out that Raj has mistaken the "beer" for a non-alcoholic drink.
In keeping with the Roseanne tradition, (Galecki had his start on the show as Darlene's boyfriend), The Big Bang Theory has had guest stars Laurie Metcalf as Sheldon's holy roller mother and Sara Gilbert in the recurring role of Leslie Winkle, the on-again, off-again bed partner for both Wolowitz and Leonard. Christine Baranski also guest stars as Leonard's mother who immediately hits it off with Sheldon.
The jokes are hysterical, (each episode usually has that one zinger that you'll quote with your friends), the trivia is enthralling and the characters are lovable. Plus, the commitment to continuity is more impressive than shows previous to this. Former jokes are revisited further down the line to reinforce previous points and to counter certain actions from occurring in such a way that you'll be saying to yourself, "well done!" Plus, the whole group is incredible in terms of acting with the way they regurgitate such long lines of dialogue with no hesitation--truly impressive.
If you would like to check out some wholesome entertainment, then you need look no further than The Big Bang Theory!』

Again, the little guy meets up with colorful people on the margins of society (including a pigeon woman played by Brenda Fricker) and again he gets into a prop-heavy battle with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The latter sequence is even worse than the first film in terms of violence inflicted on the two villains (director Chris Columbus, who also made the first film, can't seem to emphasize the slapstick over the graphic effects of the fight).

For instance, my % cycles from a high of 20.2 to a low of 19.1%. I've been steadily losing fat as my waist has gone from 36.5 to 35.25inches so it should be going down. These variables range from what time you take a reading, to how much fluids you've consumed, to whether you have your arms streched out the same amount each time you use the OMRON.
For how much it costs, it does a decent enough job - just don't expect a super consistant reading from day to day!』
(Fun and useful) 『Friends and I decided to set monthly fitness goals based on body fat rather than weight. This device makes that so easy to track. I swear it gives me a low measurement, but I guess that's encouraging. It's easy to get obsessive and start checking it all the time. Before and after meals, morning and night, etc, but it really is a good way to track performance week to week or month to month.』
(Great basic body fat monitor, easy to use) 『As others have said, this is a great body fat ratio monitor, particularly for the money. It has the instructions right on it, which is very helpful if you haven't used it in awhile, and can't remember the procedure to get the reading--no trying to find the manual that you probably threw away or is buried in some drawer somewhere. I had a body fat ratio monitor built into a weight scale, and was very disappointed with the lack of accuracy, despite the brand and the cost. This one seems to be much more accurate. It's very lightweight, so it's easy to store and travel with. I've had mine for a few months, and bought it after doing some research. I'm very happy with it for a small, inexpensive way to track my body muscle/fat ratio.』
(Works great!) 『Bought this for a health faire I was doing at work and it worked great. Even though people don't really want to know their body fat %, they got it done anyway. It works quick, easy to understand directions, inexpensive. Would recommend this product.』
(Great product for a great price) 『I am finding this item to be invaluable for ensuring that I'm dropping fat while retaining muscle during my cut.I use it at the same time every Sunday morning which allows me to tweak my macronutrients as i see fit based on my weekly results.

The key to long-term exercise success is accurate body fat composition measurement. This handheld body fat analyzer is an affordable and easy way to measure your body fat in the privacy of your own home. After inputting the data, a measurement can be started by simply holding the grip electrodes and pressing the start button. And since the analyzer is built with a nine person profile memory, each member of your family or team can track the success of their individual exercise routines.
The Omron HBF-306C measures body fat with a micro electrical current. Detailed view.
The screen displays body fat measurements and other data. Detailed view.
Easy-to-use, handheld design.
The HBF-306C features two modes -- athlete and normal -- for accurate results. The device is a breeze to use, and it returns measurement results in seven seconds for both Bi method (Bioelectrical Impedance Method) and BMI (Body Mass Index). The unit displays the measured value of your body fat percentage through the BMI method, and indicates the body mass in for ranges from low, normal, high, and very high according to the BMI value.
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method? Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The Body Fat Analyzer sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and 500µA through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The Bioelectrical Impedance Method safely combines the electric resistance with the distance of the electricity conducted. Correct posture and consistent measuring conditions need to be maintained for the best results.
Operating the Analyzer To use the HBF-306C you must first set your personal datYou must first select between the Normal and Athlete modes. To determine if you should select Normal or Athlete, you must calculate your FIT index by using the following formula:
FIT Index = Frequency x Intensity x Time
Frequency is a single digit number from one to five that represents your frequency of exercise. If you exercise daily or almost daily, then use the number five; three to four times per week use four; one to two times per week use three; a few times per month use two; and for less than once a month use one. If you workout vigorously, then you use the number five to represent your intensity level; if you workout with moderate or light effort, use the number four.
Meanwhile, time is a single digit number from four to one that represents the duration of your workout. If you exercise for 45 minutes or more, then use the number four; 30-44 minutes use three; 15-29 minutes use two; and for less than 15 minutes use one. For example, if you run five times a week for 30 minutes, your FIT index would be 75 (5 x 5 x 3 = 75) and you would select the Athlete setting. If your FIT index is greater than 60, you should select the Athlete setting. Any number below would demand a normal setting.
After determining your FIT index and selecting between the Athlete and Normal setting, the remaining personal data is very straightforward. Simply enter your height, weight, age and gender. When all the data is fixed and stored, the analyzer screen will display "Ready," and you'll be ready to take your first body fat measurements.
Note:For the following cases, the body fat percentage measured by this unit may significantly differ from the actual body fat percentage.

Q&A - Fitness Monitors
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method? Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender. What is visceral fat? Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin). What is resting metabolism? Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight. What is skeletal muscle? Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

The older style foil head gives a faster, closer shave and is much preferred by me. Now I have a Pulsonic shaver with two heads that I don't really find very satisfying. Replacing this 9000 series head every 18 months, per Braun's recommendation, is not cost effective for the user. It doesn't cut any closer than the old one. Considering a Braun shaver?

So I'll just objectively point out that these Panasonic RP-HT21s are slightly below par compared to the similar headphones that came with my 2003 Panasonic SL-SX420 MP3 CD player -- a little weaker and a tad less detail (the foam padding flaked off quicker, too). So yes, there is some degree of variance in low-end headphones, even of the same size and brand. The undemanding ear should find these perfectly fine, though. They sure look and feel decent.
But price has no bearing on ergonomics, and methinks the earbuds on this unit are angled inward a few degrees too far. Consequently, they feel a little annoying to wear.
Past experience and other Amazon reviews suggest that the Sony headphones in this price range sound a little worse, but score a little higher for comfort. Overall, it's a wash.』

Like all headphones, they are not perfect -- for instance, they sit on my ears in a little bit of an unnatural way, and so I find myself readjusting them every now and again in the vain hope of getting a better placement -- but if you're looking for a great sounding, knock-around pair of headphones for portable use, I highly recommend these.』
(Great Headphones for the price) 『Quite simply these headphones are the very best I have found for the price. I have tried several types of ear buds and they always end up hurting my ears. I tried other small headphones but the all sounded like crap until I found these. To me they sound like $50 headphones for less than $5. I ordered 2 extra pairs just in case I lose or break one of the pairs I ordered the first time. You simply can't go wrong with these. And no I do NOT work for panasonic.』
(Good for the Price) 『[...] The earphones are fairly comfortable and are adjustable for those with different sized heads. The foam padding over the earbuds make a functional cushion for the ear. When I use these earphones, it is usually to watch hulu.com (TV) from my computer. I have the volume on my computer turned to medium and low. On this setting, other people in the room cannot hear what I am listening to. It serves it's purpose. I recommend the earbuds! It's a good deal for someone who is looking for something practical. Just make sure your speakers that you plug these phone into have a TRS connector ([...]) audio jack plug, otherwise you can't use these for your computer - as far as I can tell.』 『Take your music on the run with Panasonic's lightweight, low-cost RP-HT21 over-ear headphones.

Because I don't live my life off this drive on a daily basis, I can't really endorse the long term reliability of this drive. However, for occasional use for the purpose of transferring documents its done its job without fault.
I don't think it's the sturdiest drive out there, so if your looking for something to put on a keychain or carry around a lot, I would pay a more a get something something a little better. I'm not saying its poorly made, just not made to stand up to a lot of abuse. However, for a drive that is going to live its life stuck in a drawer or occasionally stuck in a backpack, it should hold up just fine. A heavy user and abuser should get something else.
For a fairly priced occasional use drive, with reasonable storage size, where sturdiness isn't a factor, this drive fits the bill. If I was looking for unshakable reliability, I might turn else where and invest a little more in a drive.』 『Now you can store, carry and transfer large files in an affordable, convenient device. The DataTraveler from Kingston helps budget-conscious users break storage barriers, allowing them to easily store and move large files in a device no bigger than a pocketknife, replacing the need for floppies or the hassle of burning CDs.As easy as click and drag, the DataTraveler can hold just about any file you can think of: term papers, theses, digital images, spreadsheets or other important documents. It works with virtually any computer with a USB port - even cross-platform from Macintosh to PC and vice versa.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Nice card) 『Purchased a year ago, but works great in my Olympus stylus. Quality and speed are excellent.』
(What a great price!) 『I could have bought the same thing here in town for more than twice the price! I was so happy to find it here for such a great It works just as good as it should.』
(Card works as advertised) 『The 2GB M+2 xD card works as advertised - it unlocks the panoramic feature of my Olympus stylus camera, and it holds 800+ 10 megapixel pictures. I'm not sure if its a limitation of the xD card or camera, but sometimes there is a noticeable delay between when I snap the picture and when the picture is written to the card.』
(Great picture card) 『The M+ 2GB is faster and hold up to 1000 pictures. Really a good deal. I have been looking for a picture card like that for a long time and I found it. I would recommend to anyone.』
(Camera Memory) 『This xd-picture card is being used in a Fuji camera. Worked great for our vacation.』 『Compact and durable, the Olympus Type-M+ xD-Picture Card is the ultimate removable storage media for digital photos. Besides offering compatibility with virtually all digital cameras with xD-Picture Card slots and almost all other xD-compatible devices, it is the only xD-Picture Card that supports the exclusive Olympus Panorama, 3D and Art modes.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (not bad.. but) 『the only complaint I have so far is that i can't enter a zip code instead of a city name. I have found several times that the name of the place I am going is not the name on the GPS and if I could just enter the zip code I could save several steps. My old GPS had the option of entering the city name or the zipcode and this was very helpfull at times』
(Garmin nuvi 780) 『This is the second GPS unit I have owned. After reading countless reviews on many products I selected this one since it was lower cost due to its out of production status, but had the features I wanted; text to speech, blue tooth for hands free phone,live traffic information, and a reputation for quick start-up finding all the satellites it needs to navigate. Garmin also has a good reputation. How does it work? Well, the start-up time is affected by how long ago the last time you used it and if your position has changed much since then. In general it is satisfactory on that score. At first, the text to speech was weak, but a downloaded update improved it to the point I am satisfied. I have not tried the live update feature yet as I am waiting for a long trip to test it. The sensitivity to the gps satellites is great. This unit works inside my house which helps when I am doing planning. I also like the MP3 storage [sandisk card]. I am able to load several hours of music to this device. That said the fm transmitter is poor in my car, a Honda minivan. I can use it if I plug a 3rd party device [Radio Shack] that works from the earphone jack on the Garmin that does the fm transmitter work. This will make it possible for the Garmin unit to interrupt my music playback with navigation instructions. My experience with Garmin tech support has been good so far. After you go through the phone maze and the waiting you get an American English speaking person who, in my experience is informed and patient. There is not much of that available these days. The only improvements I would want to see is: 1. Being able to organize "favorites" into folders and 2. Having computer software that allows you to plan trips and upload them to the unit.』
(Fabulous invention.) 『OUTSTANDING. Why oh why did I not open the box and start using this device sooner?? I'm having vision trouble (temporary) and the GPS totally saved me today. It's intuitive, easy to use and I love it. I have a SC430 Lexus with a built-in GPS system and this Garmin GPS is so much easier to use..』
(garmin 780 nuvi) 『it's great, had one of the first gps devices from 5 years ago this one is far superior, love it , ez to use, works great』
(It works fine) 『This is our 1st GPS, we never thought we needed one to get around. well, it came in just a few days, I charged it up before any use, then used it without the cord, the battery life was about 2.5 hours, the blue tooth worked fine and was easy to set up and use.Its big and easy to see and read, We used the vacum thing to stick it to the windsheild, we may want to buy one of dash mounts soon, we are very happy with the speed at witch it loads up, finds the sat, and refreshes, , The refresh rate surprised me and pleased me, over all, we are very happy with this GARMIN NUVI 780. The only down side, (if its a down side,) is the price, we did not want to spend that amount of money for a GPS. but feel we are getting our monies worth.』 『Amazon.com Product Description -- January 8, 2008 The nüvi 780 adds enhanced MSN direct content to themulti-destination routing and "Where Am I?" features and gorgeous widescreen display of other nüvi 700s to create a superior navigation device for business as well as casual drivers.

Garmin's nüvis pack top of the line features into a slim form factor.
New Features -- Enhanced MSN Direct Content (3-month free subscription) An integrated receiver allows you to access enhanced dynamic content from the MSN Direct service. Check the weather, avoid traffic backups, compare local gas prices, get enhanced movie listings, stock information, news and local events when you travel with your unit.

Check out a full description of MSN Direct content features, or a coverage map for MSN Direct services.
A 3-month subscription to MSN Direct is included with the device. After that, subscription fees are $49.95 per year, or $129.95 for a lifetime subscription.
Multi-Destination Routing
Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views of a 3-inch (diagonal) screen and a 4.3-inch diagonal widescreen
This lets you enter several spots into the device (day care - supermarket-cleaners - office - day care, for example) and it will plot the fastest route. And once you've found the best router, the "Route Planning" feature lets you save up to 10 different routes, Garmin touts the feature for providing, "the most efficient route for errands, deliveries and sales calls." The feature also makes this an instant essential accessory for anyone who shops garage sales (you know what we're talking about).
A trip log provides an electronic bread crumb trail of up to 10,000 points, so you can see where you've been on the map.
Where Am I? Where's My Car? The nüvi 700 series is the first to answer two common questions: "Where am I?" and "Where’s my car?"
At any time, with a single tap of the screen, drivers can display their exact latitude and longitude coordinates, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. And to help drivers find their car in an unfamiliar spot or vast parking lot, the nüvis in the 700 series automatically mark the position in which they were last removed from the mount.
See Better, See More The super-bright, 4.3-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display gives is anti-glare for ease of viewing during the day and automatically changes its color profile for easy viewing at night or in dim light. It offers 2d or 3D perspective views.
The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.
First Rate Map Data The nüvi 780 is preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator NT road maps for the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest (POIs), including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin gets its map data from NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality mapping.
Important note about map updates:Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.
Hands-Free Calling In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The nüvi 780's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Simply dial the phone number with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to make a call on a compatible phone. To answer an incoming call, just tap the screen and speak into the built-in microphone. Making and taking calls on the road has never been easier, or safer. In addition, Garmin makes it a breeze to look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or even tap into your cell phone's call history log. Garmin Lock Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location
Easy To Use Interface Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Had mine for over a year and still going strong) 『My now 5 year old received this as a gift last fall. We hung it by a nail in our guest bathroom that has no windows. It works very well and I am glad the images don't last as long, despite other's reviews. It lasts long enough to hold a 5 and 2 year old's attention until they are ready to draw the next image. We ditched the stencils and the kids just play with the light pen on the board. The pen has withheld being dropped, kicked, stepped on, and thrown in the toilet and still works. When we have kids over, they all lock themselves in the bathroom and play with it for hours. Maybe a 7-9 year old would get frustrated with the images fading as quickly as they do, but my younger guys have not once complained. Haven't had any quality problems with the "board" either. I WOULD recommend this, and I am giving it as gifts to some of my children's friends this Christmas.』
(My Girls Love This Toy) 『This is a fantastic toy. It definitely works the best in the dark. It's great to use with the shapes they give you but also fun to put toys or other things on top of it. You can put your hand or foot on top of it and shine the light above your hand and it will leave your handprint on the board. It doesn't fade off quickly, if you are in the dark. I think this toy can be educational because your child can think of different ways to leave images on the board. I enjoy playing with this too. It can get wrinkled easily and the diamond thing that makes stars left a few dents on our board. You can't push down with that hard. My girls and I love this toy. I highly recommend it.』
