(Just right) 『These hampers are perfect. They are neutral coloured, so they practically disappear in my walk-in closet. They hold plenty of clothes, but not so much that they are too heavy to lug around. They have two handles that are easy to grip. The exterior is made of fabric while the interior has sort of a nylon/plastic feel to it, to repel sweat and yuck- it's easy to clean with a towel and some spray. But best of all, they collapse flat. I have a loft and the closet has no door. So if I'm having company over I can simply fold up the empty hampers and hide them behind the dresser. This hide-away capability doesn't sacrifice sturdiness, though, as these bins are tough.
At such a cheap price I bought two and set them side-by-side, one for colours, one for whites. If you have a larger family, you could easily purchase one of these for each family member's room or simply create a "bank" of them in the laundry room.
Overall this is a fantastic product at a great price!』
(Simple and functional) 『Nice lightweight and easily stored. My 2 year old now has her own hamper and loves it.』
(Great item for a great price!) 『These are easy to handle and easy to store when not in use. I even thought about using these as my recycling bins. Just put a trash bag in them and keep them in the garage or pantry room.』
(The best) 『I love this hamper. Its light weight and easy to carry to the laundry room. It holds is shape, is durable and you wipe it clean. It's a good size for a load of clothes and its pleasant enough looking to put in your bedroom. My only complaint is a matter of personal preferance and this is that I wish it were a dark navy blue on the outside which would make it look even more like furniture and less like a bathroom object.

(Pink rocks the house) 『Pink once again demonstrates her vocal attributes are above what one would expect a great singer to have. She has many wonderful songs that are worth listening to over and over again. Rarely does a singer like Pink produce songs as worthy of hearing as these.』
(Another fantastic performance by PINK) 『Once again another beauty album by Pink. They just keep getting better and better!』
(good second album) 『This album builds on lessons learned from Pink's first release "Misunderstood". It has some more polish and finese, but still maintains that hard edged "I'm gonna tell it like it is" style that makes Pink, Pink. I really love her bold confidence and pure scrappy attitude. She is a good performer and has a strong sultry voice.

She is a strong person and will be around for a long time. Go Girl! You kick major A## Pink !』

La Face Records' latest female discovery is positioned midway between mainstream hip-hop soul and poor imitations of Kelis-style anger. Producer-writer She'kspere brings out his trademark machine beats for "There You Go," a pale copy of "You Oughta Know"; still, that single's more artful than "Split Personality," which clumsily attempts to acknowledge three-dimensional human reality but really sounds like a fit of whining until Pink unleashes the inevitable melisma over the song's coda. Elsewhere, she makes nice on standard-issue ballads ("Stop Falling") and lite-reggae proclamations of love ("Private Show"). "I just wanna make you feel things," Pink sings at one point. Unfortunately, the emotion the cynicalCan't Take Me Homeinspires most is annoyance.--Rickey Wright』 『Japanese limited edition reissue of 2000 album, scheduled to include bonus tracks. Details TBA.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (great old movie with lots of laughs) 『This movie is such a delight! Jimmy Stewart at his best...the entire cast is great. You will not be disappointed.』
(Great movie&great service) 『Excellent Movie. Brings up things about the economy and going green HOW MANY years ago. 1938. Its amazing that we are going through the same things today. Wonderful story. Jimmy Stewart is a wonderful actor and Jean Arthur is very cute. In black and white and very clear.』
(It tries too hard to be funny.) 『I love the original stage play. And I love the tv version which stars Jason Robards. Both of these versions are well written and very funny. But the Frank Capra version just tries too hard to be funny and ultimately falls flat. And they changed the stage play beyond belief. Jimmy Stewart's character was built up and the other characters were cut back. The continuity of the story suffered because of that. But the worst aspect of the movie is the overblown effort of all involved to be oh so funny and zany and madcap. It is terribly overdone. I usually like Jimmy Stewart's acting. But not in this movie. I usually like Frank Capra's movies. But not this one.』
(Excellent Movie) 『I got this for my dad as he is a classic movie lover and wanted me to see this one really bad. It is a Wonderful movie!!! a classic that ranks up there with It's a wonderful life! A must see.』
("Charming and funny-a classic film for everyone") 『"You Can't Take It With You" is the funniest screwball movie ever made. As funny as it is, the best part is that it is full of heart.
"You Can't Take It With You" is a delightful family film. I have always felt that good comedy sets up best when the characters, not the lines, are funny. This movie is a perfect example of this.
The story is about two families that are poles apart in wealth and lifestyles. The Kirbys is an affluent high class family that is never satisfied with what they have. The Sycamores is an eccentric family that does whatever they want in order to be happy. The members of this family include a mother who keeps writing a book, a daughter who dances all the time and a father trying out experiments in the basement (with explosive results). These families come together because of a romance between Tony Kirby and Alice Sycamore. Even though Tony loves Alice's family and thinks they are wonderful-the two are driven apart.
James Stewart, as Tony Kirby, is brilliant. His comedy timing and mannerisms are perfect. The interaction between the characters-the situations they find themselves-are so much fun to watch. Lionel Barrymore as well portrayed the grandfather with heart and passion.
Frank Capra, well known for directing "It's a Wonderful Life" and others, did a superb job of bringing this story-originally a play-to the screen. It is fast-paced, with perfect timing and wonderful to watch.
A great movie to watch as a family and learn an important message. Regardless of wealth and circumstance, a person is "rich" when they have friends and are happy. Fun and entertaining-this is a gem you will be glad to own.』 『Frank Capra's 1938 populist spin on the George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart play about a family of happy eccentrics is a great deal of fun, though it significantly rewrites the original work and doesn't represent Capra (Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) at his best. Jean Arthur plays a member of the blissful Vanderhof household who falls in love with a rich man's son (James Stewart) and brings him into her nutty home. Lionel Barrymore, who played such a bad guy eight years later in Capra'sIt's a Wonderful Life, is the wonderful Grandpa Vanderhof, who addresses God during the dinner prayer as "sir" and speaks plainly and beautifully of why it's good to be alive. Capra took this opportunity to rail against big business and champion the common man, but the overall tone of the film--typical for the director's comedies--is buoyant and snappy.--Tom Keogh』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The perfect cast) 『I have owned this video for years, and have watched it so often that it has become worn and my player ate the tape up last night. YIKES! This is so so much better than the movie version, and has inspired me in so many ways in my life. It's as timley now as it was when it was written. The world really hasen't changed much, just the stuff in it. I love this cast. You never for a minute believe that they're acting.』
(Best version of this play) 『This is the performance of "You Can't Take It With You" that you shoud buy or view. Excellent acting by veteran stage performers. I've watched this three times and it gets better with each viewing. If you have seen the Capra movie version, you'll be impressed with how much better the stage presentation is in this play.
In fact, I'll never watch Capra's movie again. It is such a bastardization of this fine comedy that it bears little resemblance to the Kaufman and Hart story. Do yourself a favor and watch Jason Robards and the other fine actors in this performance.』
(See this version, please) 『Most people who are familiar with this play know it through the Frank Capra / Jimmy Stewart film. That film has little resemblance to the American masterwork that Kaufman and Hart created. THIS is THE version. A sparkling cast led by one of our greatest actors, Jason Robards, pulls the viewer into the warm and quirky Vanderhoff family. Like the other reviewer, annual viewing of this version is a family tradition in our home. We have a Thanksgiving Eve celebration capped by watching this heartwarming life-affirming video. It is the perfect way to begin the holiday. It reminds us every year of all that we have to be thankful for--our family.』
(Simply the best version of this gem of a play!) 『What a cast! Jason Robards, Colleen Dewhurst...those two alone would be worth the price of admission, but ALL the actors are superb. Zany and delightful, this is a"quintessentially American farce."There are at least two (perhaps three) filmed versions of this play, but none can compare to this one. Is it the acting in this one that makes the difference? Perhaps. It's unfortunately quite hard to get a hold of a copy of this version, but if you can find one, grab it and run. We find that we watch this play at least twice a year -- and our friends and family count on it on New Year's Eve. It's a winner that'll grow on you more for each viewing. Simply hilarious -- well written, beautifully acted, and great direction as well. (Kirk Browning directed for TV and Ellis Rabb directed the play itself.)』

Then we went to Amazon and found this product. The chrome frame is thick and sturdy. Everything about the design of this product surpasses what I previously owned. It's tough and it gets the job done. I am a satisfied customer. Thank you Amazon!

(laundry sorter) 『this has solved a real problem for me in that there was a problem in my having (I am disabled) my housekeeper do my laundry. She had to take the laundry to the apartment house laundry on another floor. She would not sort the clothing anywhere near what I wished her to do, evenn though it was sorted after a fashion in layers in my laundry bag. This sorter solved the problem! I am able to sort my clothing as I remove them, into the separate bags on the cart. She then empties them separately into the washers! Problem solved.
The sorter is sturdy, does not have any problem iin being pushed down the hall to the elevator and then to the laundry room. It is of sturdy construction and I do not see a problem with it deterioting with this type of use. Good choice.

I would recomend it to all moms!』
(Picture is decieving) 『We were looking for a mobile laundry sorter. There are alot of them on the web. The bag is the limiting factor. The Haney-Can-Do bags are not strong. When you shop for a laundry sorter the bags have to be canvas!
The Honey Dew Sorter has a flimsy cotton twill - the bottom fell out.
I would also look for a sorter with a grate as a shelf below the bag. The extra support is nice. The Honey dew sorter does not have that shelf.
The structure and the wheels were great but the same frame is used by other manufactures. Beware of photos!

While dance is certainly incorporated, only Courtney's disco really felt like dancing. Still, it's good for exercise. Lauren's hip-hop is fun, not too hard, and definitely a good cardio workout. Travis's contemporary is a bit slower paced than the others, and is much more a workout for your arms and upper body. Courtney's Disco is my favorite. It's really fast and really fun.

I love to dance but hate to exercise. This is perfect. Each dancer went through the steps very clearly and it was easy to follow. If I forgot or missed something, I just went back and repeated it. The cha-cha was the one that really burned my abs&my legs. Again, I just wish there are more routines and even longer routines. I have to caution that you have to like choreographed dancing to like this dvd, AND able to remember the steps. Otherwise, no matter how slow and how thorough the instructor goes through the steps, you're not going to be able to follow them and do the exercises effectively. I don't think the instructions can be any simpler.』

(Great fun dancers&production, no music during instruction, etc.) 『Ok, many others already wrote reviews on the content, including Lovehitzalot". Menu: Play All, Intro, Warm-up, Workouts, Cool Down, Bonus Interviews Sub menu of Workouts: 1) Hip Hop 2)Jazz 3)Cha-Cha 4)Bonus dance each gives you two choices: Instruction&Workout or Workout only
Overall, I love how the individual dancer's personalities shown through&use of jokes. w/o it this would have been really boring. Love the widescreen, lighting, etc. though the they seemed way too stingy on the use of lights in the background. Stage - stark white&large. Sometimes uses cool dance lights to create ambiance/motivation. Warm-up - 13 min w/all 6 dancers&nice club music (not sure the type, house? techno? dance/ambient?) Easy to follow, good stretching of hips, torso, obliques, etc. Overview on Instruction&Workout choice - All 3 styles contain: instruction w/single dancer alone w/o music&almost no color lighting. They teach facing you, some call out YOUR left/right which is great, sometimes give great detailed instructions, sometimes a simple "do this." All teaching is done with building a routine. (dance move 1, repeat, dance move 2, dance move 1&2, dance move 3, dance move 1, 2&3, etc.) Even with my 6 years of hundreds of dance workouts/instruction dvd experience, I sometimes had a problem following&sometimes would have been totally lost without it. Sometimes they would stay too long on an easy move, but practically barely teach more complex ones, with Katee being the worst of this. Oh, the routines is literally about 20 seconds long for each of the styles&you will be REPEATING it A LOT. Learn the moves, repeat w/single dancer several times w/them sometimes calling out the moves STILL w/o music, practice again several times w/2 more dancers w/counting instead of calling out moves, practice MORE with ALL dancers and MUSIC finally several times. Hip Hop - 24 min w/Twitch. I love his jokes/personality, fun to learn from. He taught well, though went a little too fast when there were directional changes though the actual moves overall were simple. The moves were a bit boring except some well-known old school moves&touch of popping. His teaching of that was well down, though telling you to contract by keeping his arm up was a bit overdone, would have been better just doing the move slower&reminding you to contract as you go which he did do. The moves were more easy physically, though after many repeat practices in a row.... Jazz - 20 min w/Katee. She didn't show as much personality, but seems nice&did seem to love to dance. The moves are old style&simple: grapevines, jazz square, jumping, pivot turn, leg/arm pointing, standing crunches, hip bumps&only one "sassy" move. Her instruction was good, though she would mention how much weright you'll lose or how you feel it almost as much as she instructed. The one cool sassy move she barely gives 3 words explanation, totally ignoring what makes it look good, such as raising the heels. Again, the moves are easy except the jumping. Latin - 21 min w/Dmitry. He was the best in terms of even during instruction you feel the moves, and he was really detailed w/his instruction, but never boring. He only taught a few moves, but he taught you the cha-cha like a ballroom dancer, not just a workout. He taught how to really land on the balls of your feet and roll down to the hell, almost like a step master to give it that style&really ups the ante in needing concentration&physically harder. No other dance workout teaches w/such detail. He also teaches twisting, single leg fwd/back, side step, etc. Very nice moves to want to learn. The thing about Latin dancing is the real stuff is VERY fast, like super speed. Like the others he teaches very slowly, but in this case, when he goes normal speed for practice, it's jarring. But I am glad for the true authenticity, nothing watered down here&that's very refreshing. Don't be daunted, it is easy to learn, but you just really have to practice to keep your form right for the super speed. Bonus - 14 min w/all dancers together taking turns instructing w/o music quick (since it contains portions of the three previous styles&adds a bit more style&flair which does look great)&the routine is about 25 seconds long. Workout Only - From the instructional part above, they separated end portion practice/workout that has w/all the dancers w/music. Hip Hop-9 min Jazz-7 min Cha-Cha-6 min Bonus-7 min Cool Down - 7 min w/all the dancers w/semi-fast piano ambient music. Slower dancing, different stretching from warm-up.
Pros: great camerawork, can see everything, production dancers seem to be having fun, get along, interact/have fun with each other dancers have talent&great personalities on their own no annoying matched outfits, they wear their own style Some of the dances are cool Some of the instruction when detailed are really great&help you to learn the more polished look
Cons: No background, very stingy on use of dance lighting Not enough music used for instruction/dance which really kills instruction PHYSICAL pace can be too slow. There should have been more normal speed practice of each move before learning a new one. Not enough verbal given for those with left feet, forcing one to stay in slow instruction mode w/no music too much. Dance instruction felt rushed like the dancers weren't given enough time for it&were forced to skip some.
I did like it overall, all they need is to fix those rough areas for next time.』 『Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 07/21/2009 Rating: Nr』

Golden Malted
Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Waffles like on vacation!!) 『I wanted a waffle mix just like what is available when we travel and breakfast is provided by the hotel/motel. This mix is perfect. I just purchased a waffle maker that mkes a waffle when you turn the iron over (just like in motels/hotels). This mix is great. I add oil instead of margarine and mix water and milk instead of just water.Bon appetit! Enjoy』
(super) 『Excellent! Add the milk in place of the water in the waffle recipe. Very easy and very good. Goldenmalted has their own web site with other varities but it is cheaper here on amazon for the plain original type.』
(A Great Waffle Mix) 『Golden Malted Pancake&Waffle Flour, Original, 33-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3) For years I had used another pancake style mix to make my waffles, always longing for a little more malt flavor and a crisper texture that did not get tough. I saw this mix and decided to try it. WOW! The first hint that you are in for a good waffle is the smell of malt and hint of vanilla that comes out of the can when you open it. Following the easy directions, you are going to be in for a real treat. These waffles come out crisp, yet fully tender. They seem to hold their crispness under syrup longer and the flavor brings you back to a time when quality meant something. I highly recommend this product. I also bought the natural mix and it works equally well.』
(The pecan version) 『Plenty of folk have praised Carbon's magical waffle mix so I won't tread in their tracks. What I can offer is a delicious alternative using Carbon's magical mix.
I'm from Texas and we put pecans in almost everything. Here is a Pecan Waffle version using the Carbon GM mix:
1 cup CGM mix 1 cup fresh chopped pecans 3/4 cup milk 3 tbsp butter 1 large egg
Beat egg then add milk and melted butter. Follow with waffle mix and pecans. Don't under cook, it should be a little crunchy. Also, don't insult by using anything but real maple syrup and butter. Count calories at some other meal.』
(The Best Mix I've Ever Tried!) 『The first time I tried this mix was at a hotel a couple of years ago. It was so great I had to write the name of the mix down and look it up online. I've had it several times since then at other hotels but never actually got around to ordering it and in the meantime have tried multiple homemade recipes and store bought mixes hoping to find something as delicious. Well, I never did and simply put... this is hands down THE BEST mix I have ever tried! I finally ordered a case and took it on a family vacation for breakfast. All twelve of my family members thought it was great too. I love the sweet flavor of it and the waffle itself actually tastes good without having to put a bunch of syrup on it (even though I still do). It's great!』 『Since 1937, when we developed our patented recipe for Golden Malted pancake and waffle flour, we've been creating delicious golden-brown waffles and light and fluffy pancakes. Our original pancake and waffle flour continues that tradition today with a taste and texture that still can't be beat.』

It is super for my husband's blood sugar control when he drinks it at lunch. So nice to know it's still available on Amazon!』
(Healthy/Tasty!) 『I am gluten intolerant and insulin resistant which makes convenience foods difficult to come by. I drink one of these every morning for breakfast. Not only are they tasty, but they are filling. If I drink one at 7:15am, I don't feel hungry until around 11:00am. I do admit that the sweetness took a little getting used to at first, but now I find them to be very tasty. Also, the creamy texture is much more pleasant than the watery texture found in other protein shakes.』
(Tastes great to me!) 『I can understand why some people can't stand the taste of this stuff -- there is a bit of an aftertaste behind your tongue. But I guess I'm just not that picky about such things -- all things considered, it tastes just fine to me. Nice thick chocolate flavor and only 6g carbs -- well worth the "flavor tradeoff" in my opinion.
I will definitely be buying more of this1』
(Give it TIME) 『First thing anyone should know (or at least picky eaters like myself) is that the taste may take some getting used to, not in the bad diet "snack bars" that you have to pretend don't taste like wax, but with a cardboard texture, but in a much more subtle way.
I was scared when I drank the first one-- brought into the house by my super-no-carb-dieting father. He said it tasted like a good ice cream shake. (Nope, sorry). But his assessments had been way off (like the "chocolate" Atkins bars--see above description).
The first one did not taste like a chocolate shake. Never will. But surprisingly, it did taste a lot like chocolate jello pudding, but a little waterier (taste not texture). Not bad, but not my favorite. I made the commitment there to drink all 4 cans, in one week. Each can tasted better. Much better. By can 3, I was hooked, and it became my breakfast replacement (technically I never ate breakfast, very sporadically, so this was a good metabolism-boost too!). Sometimes I'd want one just to wash dinner down with. I really liked them, not just needed them as part of a diet.
One think I learned though: don't drink warm/room temperature. The thickness of the drink becomes all you can taste... Best over a cup FULL of ice cubes or ice cold in the can (with a straw, or else the tin can taste overpowered the yummy, to me).
I did the same 4 can challenge with the vanilla flavor (twice) and it always tasted like melted ice cream, overpoweringly sweet, to me. Again as I disclaimed above, I'm picky.
A word about those complaining about 80 calories fat. it's not a bad thing. It keeps you fuller, adds the calories you need for energy, and is not a big deal in the grand scheme of your diet. It's not even close to your daily total amount. In fact, it's a total of only 9 grams in this drink. In fact, it's about 1.5 hardboiled eggs worth of fat. Plus, it's not like you're drinking whale blubber.
A good foundation for any dieter, in my opinion and my (week-day)daily breakfast.
P.S>I'm not paid, and not affiliated with FitDay, but they have an awesome free online diet journal, and the downloadable version is even better. a MUST for smart dieters!』
(Slim-Fast Low Carb is the way to go) 『I love the Slim Fast Low Carb meal replacements. They are rather tastey and I love not getting all the carbs and sugar-taste that you get with other drinks.

(What a Waste!) 『I have not tried this coffee for expresso, but for regular coffee taste... be it in a french press or drip.... this stuff is simply ZERO. Now of course that is only MY taste and MY opinion, but it is an honest one.』
(Delicious Coffee) 『I bought this coffee to make espresso drinks. The taste is a little smoother and less bitter than Starbucks espresso. I was very impressed.』
(Excellent, as always!) 『If you are used to Peet's Coffee&Starbucks...don't bother with this coffee. By now you are going to be used to overly-roasted (burnt is not synonym of flavorful) coffee and anything mildly roasted is going to seem flavorless to you.
If you, on the other hand, haven't compromised your taste buds with horrible coffees like Peet's&Starbucks- feel welcomed to enjoy this jewel of a coffee.
It's chocolate-y, not fruity like Kona or Blue Mountain, without a hint of bitterness (even if you brew it ristretto-style), it produces a rich, caramel-colored crema, and it's actually lower in caffeine than it's burnt-roast counterparts. That's the beauty of the medium roast.
I learned about this coffee while living in Sicily and got hooked ever since. It's the best of Lavazza's line of coffee (Blue has a deeper taste, Rossa is even milder) and it's my favorite.
』
(New and Improved?) 『I've been using this in my Gaggia espresso maker for the last couple years and it has always been good, but not quite as good as Illy. The last batch of four cans I got, however, seems to have a slightly finer grind than previous batches. In my machine it now produces an incredible crema layer on top of a truly first rate shot. I no longer lust after Illy; Lavazza is my espresso of choice.』 『Lavazza Caffe Espresso Ground Espresso Coffee is a 100% Arabica blend of the highest quality beans, which have been carefully selected and evenly roasted to produce a coffee with a smooth flavor and a tempting aroma.』

(Good but keep a spare) 『Canon makes some of the best photo-quality printers on the market but the ink is more expensive than one might think. What I mean by that is that the ink level seems to go down on its own even if you don't use the printer. At first I though it was just my imagination but now my son is saying the same thing and after paying more attention, it appears that on some of the tanks that is true. Some of that might have to do with the printer cleaning its print head automatically but I suspect that the ink just sloooowly drains out over time. Also if the little chip goes bad, the ink tank will not work and you will not be able to print until the tank is replaced. That happened to my printer and that is why I bought the replacement tanks. In conclusion - the ink is more expensive than you might think unless you use the printer a lot and then the leakage/evaporation/print-head cleaning becomes a minor consideration.』
(Pricey Good Ink) 『I've never had a problem with this ink. I use it in my Canon Pixma MP530 printer. I buy from Amazon to avoid Arnold's 9.25% California sales tax, and for the free delivery, but for the life of me I can't figure out why it's so expensive. It's just little plastic things with some juice in them. Okay, there are some electronic pieces, too, but surely they are cheap.
I gave it 4 stars because the ink is good, prints well with no smearing, doesn't clog up my printer, and the thingies haven't ever leaked for me. I've had those troubles in the past with other inks. But the price? Absolutely too high. I'll probably keep buying it here, though, because it's convenient, and because not having to deal with printer problems is worth something.』
(best deal on ink cartridges&more, plus free shipping too!) 『i got a good deal on these ink cartridges. these canon ink tanks are economical, but also depend on the volume you will be printing of course. one thing nice is the rest of the ink tanks in your printer would continue working, even when one cartridge/color is already low.』

The software was a hassle. The sheet size of the output never matched the input -- I mean who needs an 8.5 x 11.41 sheet anyway! Now my life has changed. I might be more willing to part with a bodily organ or two than my new CanoScan 8800. As an architect I needed a way to easily convert pen and ink sketches into electronic documents. The ease of using the CanoScan allows me to treat pen and paper as an essential computer-based drawing tool. Previous scanners were too cumbersome to dash off a quick hand sketch and email to contractor in the field. Not now. It's almost as easy as passing it to the next desk. JPGs, PDFs - easy. Black and white, color, grayscale - easy. No surprises. Works right every time.』
(Scanner for older slide collection) 『Went on line, read many of the reviews, most very positive. Scanner arrived quickly. Easy to hook-up and install. Slides were in boxes for 20-30 years still came out almost perfect. I am scanning over 1200 slides. The only thing wrong, I just wish scanning time were a little quicker, but I have worked out a routine in between scanning. Great Product. Thanks.』
(Canon Canoscan 880F) 『I purchased this scanner to capture my family's 35mm slides. It captures 4 at a time and the software allows me to clean up the images. This is a much better scanner than slide scanners available for that purpose. I would recommend this to anyone needing to capture thier family's old 35mm slides plus it also is a very good scanner of photos and even documents. It is much more quire than most and very easy to use. Canon makes a good product and the price is very reasonable.』
(Canon CanoScan 8800F - Kudos) 『I purchased the Canon scanner for a family project to document over 200 color slides taken by my father between 1940 and 1972. The quality of the scanner output was beyond my expectations. The scanner works equally well on film strips and on photos. Definitely one of my best computer add-on purchases. 』
(Easy and good) 『If you want to finally get your old pictures or negatives out of boxes and onto your computer, this is a great scanner to do it with. Use them as wallpaper, send them to old friends to remember how you looked, let your kids see what you looked like in a pre-digital age.
This scanner makes it easy to scan your pictures and negatives. The previous reviewers who rated this product highly are correct, and I will summarize those points in a quick format because it works for me. - Easy to install (Windows 7) - Began scanning old 35mm color negatives immediately - Software automatically identifies the negatives when using the holder and scans them in. You don't have to worry about cropping each negative from a pre-scan. I love that!
As other reviewers point out, the disappointments are related to the film, not the scanner: - It's reasonably quick to put the negatives into the holder, but scanning takes time regardless of the scanner. - Picture quality on the negatives isn't what we're used to today. Even at 4800dpi they're blurry compared to digital photos. I went back to 2400dpi for a faster scan time. - I started with 30-year-old negatives and they're pretty beat up after many moves and being stored in old boxes. No miracles. - Negatives get scratched and the photos dim with age. Either way this scanner will do its best to recover the picture and give you basic tools to clean it up. - You can use software to improve the pictures, but that depends on your skill with that software. I haven't tried the bundled software because I have a *lot* of negatives to scan and I'll play with it later. It's just great to have the pictures again, scratches and all.
Bring your life back from the attic or basement - you can do it with this scanner.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bad Image Quality) 『For a long time I refrained from writing this review, believing that probably I was to blame for the subpar image quality (out of focus) pictures I was getting. But my conclusion is that it was not me. It was the camera.
I had such a great experience with the Canon S2IS that I was ready to move up to my first SLR camera, and what better than the same brand. I enthusiastically ordered the Xsi with the supplied kit lens. I soon realized that no matter which focus setting I used, many pictures, both indoor and outdoor, were slightly out of focus, and slightly underexposed. I took side-by-side pictures together with my S2IS, and was shocked to see that the older, 5 MP camera took pictures much, much better than the Xsi.
I wrote to Canon customer service, and they blamed it on the "kit" lens. They suggested I buy a lens with a wider aperture (which was about $1,000, so I thought, "You're kidding"). I did not buy the lens, but I did buy an external flash ($350), and the image quality was just the same. I was so disgusted with the situation that I basically stopped using the camera, and continued using the old one instead.
After some time, I really gave up on the camera and decided to return it, together with the flash. Fortunately, Amazon has fantastic customer sevice, and everything worked out without a problem.
In conclusion, this camera definitely has focus problems. These focus problems cause the pictures to be improperly exposed, and the flash strength to be slightly inexact, all contributing to bad image quality. For me, the Xsi's 12 MP sensor and all its other features are worthless if the image quality is lower than that of my 5 MP camera. I am now hesitant to buy another Canon camera, afraid of a repeat of this.
One star for the camera, and five stars for Amazon's customer service.

(Great pictures but disappointed in the live view mode) 『I use my camera for taking pictures of our one year old mostly. It is a great camera for small children because it can take a picture so fast you don't miss out on a good smile. I am disappionted in the live view mode. It is very hard to use and you can not use it in the auto modes. They don't tell you that up front. If you want to take pictures mostly with your LCD screen in live mode this is not the camera for you. If you enjoy using the view finder this is a great camera for the price.』
(Perfect First DSLR) 『I purchased this camera for my fiancee because she has always liked taking pictures of flowers and plants. I read many reviews before I decided on this camera, and I must say that I think I made the right choice. The camera takes the best close up shots I've ever seen, even compared to other DSLRs that I've had experience with. For the first time user, the full auto mode is perfect to use until you get time to read the manual and understand how to use the more advanced functions. The biggest problems posted by other users seemed to be the noise the camera makes and the weight of the camera. I haven't noticed a problem with either.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great for Macs, but setup is a slight tricky) 『I bought this printer recently for use as a replacement for my aging Photosmart. This was the first time I bought a Canon and the first time I invested in a multi-function printer. Currently, I have a mid-2007 MacBook with Snow Leopard, so I will write this review from a Mac user perspective.
Packaging ======= The printer is packed firmly between molded styrofoam and wrapped very well in plastic. Be prepared to spend a few minutes removing all of the "orange" tape that is used to secure plastic wrappings on the printer and secure any opening parts. It may seem like an inconvenience, but I was very pleased at the fact that Canon took the extra effort to make sure that the risk of damage during transport was minimal. Here's the best part, almost all of the packaging is recyclable - including the plastic. Unfortunately, my community cannot recycle styrofoam, but everything else that was in the box can be recycled.
Set-up ===== Inside the packaging, you will find detailed instructions that clearly explain how to install the software for both Windows (XP&Vista) along with Mac (Tiger&Leopard). I want to point out that Canon includes a separate printed guide to installing the printer on a Mac. I would suggest you use this guide rather than the other guide which is printed in color. In addition to the instructions, you have a setup CD that will work on both a PC or Mac. If you choose to install the software on a Mac, please be aware that you need to be logged into an administrator account. On my Mac, I have 2 accounts. One account is an admin account and the other account is just a regular account. If you try to install the Mac software on a non-admin account, it will not work.
If you are plan on installing this on your Mac with Snow Leopard, things are a bit tricky. Here's how I went about setting up this printer on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. 1) Visit Canon USA support website and download all of the software updates for the Mac OS X 2) I installed all of the software updates (English ones) - It's not very clear which ones you need and don't need, but I installed them all 3) Make sure that you install the software using an administrator account 4) I would suggest that you ensure that MP Navigator is installed on your Snow Leopard machine so that you can use the scanning function 5) Follow the normal Mac setup guide that is included with the printer.
Initially, the printer has to be setup via USB (USB cable is included in the box) and every machine that you want to be able to print to the MX860 needs to have the software installed. The software is actually very well designed and not bloatware. Once the initial setup is complete via USB (your printer will still not function 100% at this point), it will then ask you how you plan on using your printer. This is where you can tell the software that you plan on using the printer wirelessly or with a wired LAN connection.
Should you decide that you want it to be wirelessly connected, it will go ahead and "measure" signal strength, ask you for the SSID of your wireless router access point, and a password if you have one. The printer supports WEP&WPA/WPA2. It just will NOT support WPA-Enterprise. Once your printer is configured, you no longer need a USB connection. If you want to setup the printer on other computers, just set it up using the software you downloaded for Snow Leopard. There is NO need to hook the printer into the other machines via USB. For Windows users, just use the enclosed CD and follow the on-screen instructions. The software will ask if you want to configure the printer for initial use or if it is already configured.
So as you can see, the initial setup on a Snow Leopard machine is slightly tricky, but not impossible. I do recommend that after you install your printer, do a Software Update as there is a good chance that Apple will push a Canon driver update. Go ahead and install it.
Printing ====== Overall, my impression of the printing is amazing. I was very pleased with how the print quality rivals that of many laser printers and bests that of my Photosmart. I was amazed at how fast the printer prints too. I did print a photo (8.5" x 11") and I was blown away at how crisp the colors looked. When I look at the printed image on photo paper, it is impossible to tell if the image was printed on a photo printer at home or in a lab. I do want to point out that duplex printing will be slower. How much slower? It is significantly slower, but the fact that this printer can do duplex printing at this price point more than makes up for it.
Scanning ======= I did do a bit of light scanning (I've only had the printer for less than 3 days) and I was impressed. However, I feel that a dedicated scanner has better results. I did not have a chance to try out duplex scanning, but the top loading tray makes it so much more convenient to scan a 10 page document.
Fax === Sorry, I don't use faxing.
Conclusions ========= As a Mac user, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I know that if I still had Leopard, initial setup would have been a breeze. My only gripe is that the instructions do not do a good job of telling you that you need to use an administrator account to install the software. Furthermore, it is NOT Canon's fault that they did not include Snow Leopard software. It is more than likely that the printer I have was made well before Snow Leopard was even available. However, I have to hand it to Canon for making the software available to users on their website.
If you use Snow Leopard, do not hesitate to purchase this printer, however, be prepared to spend an extra 15 minutes downloading additional software. I highly recommend this printer! For the price and the features (duplex printing for almost $150), this printer - to me at least - is a no brainer.』
(Nice machine overall but ink tanks smaller than MX850) 『If it turns out to be reliable then the deal is good being that there are many features, I had an MX850 which died prematurely and thought the ink tanks would be the same... This was a small and helpful reminder about what happens when you ASSUME things!!! Unfortunately they've made the ink tanks smaller so they'll have to be replaced more often - thus>>$$$. Overall the machine is fast, not flimsy, features are up to date, plentiful and more than I'll ever really need anyways.』
(Canon MX860 Printer) 『Really like this printer, can't beat wireless. I do not agree with some people regarding slowness or loudness - I have not found that to be the case at all. Nice quality on pictures, but the colors aren't perfect. I suspect I have to spend some time tweaking my choices. I think this printer can produce better pics and I will continue trying. I don't need the fax so I can't comment, the scanner works great and I love having duplex printing. Nice software also (Easy PhotoPrint EX). I did experience when I printed labels the page shifts slightly. My biggest concern is I still can't get the printer to recognize my IBM Laptop...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.』
(Canon thought of everything on this one.) 『I did not need the fax or the wireless. It does come with an electric cord. At first I thought I might return it and get one without the fax and the wireless, but decided for the price I would just keep it. I am THRILLED that I did. This printer does everything and is so easy to use and understand. It also powers up ready fast and down fast, so no need to turn it on long ahead of time so it will be ready. I just love it. Also the ink directly from Canon is as good a price as I have found anywhere and you can get it for no shipping if you order two packs. So I will order 1 all black and 1 color. Then order two color the next time and that gives me all I need and I did not have to pay any shipping.』 『Wireless Office All-In-One Printer with 2.5" LCD&Built-in Two-sided copying and printing』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Fantastic bra for large breasted nursing moms) 『After delivering I was measuring at a 34 H, which is a very difficult bra size to find. Not only did this bra fit my but it is so comfortable and give fantastic support. I own three now. It is totally worth the price. I spent hours searching for nursing bras in stores and online and have tried 10 different ones and this is the best. The band does run a bit big and I think the cups run a bit small. I ordered one band size down and that seemed to work well. I highly recommend this bra』
(Greatness) 『I love this bra! It has been hard for me in the past to find a good nursing bra. So with my 3rd, I tried this one and am loving it! Great support and fit. In fact, I just bought another one.』
(What I was looking for!) 『This is the perfect nursing bra for a person with a small frame and large breasts. I am a 32G and definitely need underwire support while breastfeeding. This bra provides excellent support while allowing me to look and feel sexy in whatever I choose to wear.
This bra is expensive (supportive bras in a 32g always are), but you only need 1 or 2. The microfiber dries quickly, so I hand wash before bed and it is dry in the morning.
Cup sizes ran small for me. I normally wear a 32G, but a 32H fit me better.』
(an ok bra) 『I am a bit disappointed in this bra because it is so flimsy. It rides up constantly and the cups aren't thick enough. I was just hoping for more after reading the raving reviews and spending so much for it.』
(Great Bra, true to size) 『If you are looking for nursing bras online you no doubt have been underwhelmed at the selection available, especially if you wear a larger cup size. I only wish I would have tried this bra sooner! First, I was SO glad to finally find a nursing bra in an H cup that wasn't white!!!!! The microfiber is great and seamless, and dries super quickly after washing. I found this bra to be very true to size, I am between bandsizes and wish I would have ordered one band size down, just so it would be a little more snug. Overall, this is a great nursing bra, lightweight, supportive, and well fitting. I highly recommend it!』 『Anita Style 5068. Seamless nursing bra. Lightweight, stretch microfiber.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Not much support) 『I'm only 17 weeks pregnant but I bought this one just to try, and also because my old bras do not fit any more. I was a 34D (now I'm a 34DDD) and had always wear underwire bras. I read underwires are not good when you are breastfeeding, so I decided to try a bra without them. I don't like it very much, I don't like the shape it gives to my brest, it doesn't provide a lot of support and also it gave my and itch under my brest. I suppose it's going to be useful when I need it, but for now it will stay in the drawer.』
(Best Maternity Bra Ever!) 『This is a great nursing bra. Super soft, does not pinch any part of the body and it's very practical for full-time working women, easy to use when pumping. Love it!! I bought 3 of them.』
(Finally, a comfortable 32E!) 『I love this bra. It fits great and is very comfortable. The band and straps are not too wide, while the bra offers great comfort and support. I have a tough time finding anything in a 32E, let alone anything comfortable. I'll be buying Anita bras from now on.』
