Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Awesome but bit pricy) 『This is great thing I have ever wear a mask. You should use this mask all the time. That good.』
(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.』
(Foggy Glasses Solution) 『I've tried several other models including 3Ms model 8210 and had problems with them fogging up my glasses. These reduce the fogging by 90% or more. Also more comfortable than other respirators that I have tried.』
(Comfortable, effective respirator) 『I use these mostly for woodworking, mainly while sanding, but also while sweeping or blowing out the garage. 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.

Seems well constructed.
I'm not sure the blue outer surface does anything significant. Even if the blue webbing is completely "anti-microbial," how does that keep microbes from flourishing in the other 99.99% of the wick?
The dewpoint [outside] was in the upper 30s, my apartment is about 700 sq. feet, and my humidifier was coming on almost constantly. It should have been coasting along (with the fan on Low) instead of stressing. I took out the old filter, put in one of these, and with the same dewpoint, the humidifier comes on for much less time, saving electricity and my patience.
Now, I'm ready for 0 Degree dewpoints -- Bring it on.
I recommend using a mineral-dissolving Water Treatment so your wick lasts for 6 months instead of 4 weeks. I have soft water, but use a little squirt of Treatment every time I add a couple of gallons of water, regardless. I think it helps extend the wicks' life.
Lose one star: * for not being 100% antimicrobial but including marketing jargon that implies that it is * for not lasting forever, and * for costing too much.』
(A great replacement filter) 『These replacement filters are great. They have a handle built in to keep your hands dry when removing from humidifier. The Air Washing layer is very good at catching dirt and pet hair that would get into the evaporation wick and shorten the life of the filter. This is well put together so that it stays upright even when it is wet instead of collapsing like other filters do.』
(Argh - didn't fit my Honeywell humidifier.) 『My stupid Honeywell humidifier does not have a marking on it saying what model it is. So when I ordered this filter, I assumed that their filters were universal.
Well, they're not. Argh.』
(Monthly Cost Not Anticipated) 『I have mixed feeling about this product. The filter works well but does not last long. Mildew builds up quickly. I have to remove it everyday and take it outside so that it can air-out to perserve a longer life span. I us it everry night in the Honeywell 1012. This system has reduce the number of sinus headaches I get--that's the positive benefit. The negative point is that each filter cost over $9 dollars and only last approximately a month if you leave it in continuously--Approximately $120 a year. I called Honeywell to find out if there was a replacement filter that did not require changing. Unfortunately, No.』
(I'm glad it's what I really wanted) 『Finding this item took a little hunting around. You see, the picture shown is not the HC-14. I don't know what the item being shown is, but the HC-14 actually has the "Air Wash Technology" thin blue filter around the white honey-combed item that is pictured.
I was revealed when it arrived that it was what I REALLY wanted. That is why I'm rating it a 4 and not a 5.
As far as the Filter itself, the one that originally came with my Humidifier (which is identical), lasted a good year. I did take it out from time to time, and wash it in vinegar water; and I did NOT replace it like they suggested (I didn't need to!).
I can tell you when you NEED to replace the filter. It will be humming right along, then one day, you think, "My, I haven't filled the reservoirs in quite some time..." (Because normally, I'm filling one of them almost every other day - then all of a sudden it's weeks). That is when you'll know.』 『Replacement Filter for Holmes Cool Mist Humidifiers』

Came in to order a set for my son in FL and another set for a brother in CA for Christmas--putting my money where my mouth sleeps so well now. Thought I'd better take time to write my first product review and share my high opinion of this pillow I first purchased on the recommendation of The Doctors show on TV. It's a beaut!』
(Headaches in check!) 『i had read that these types (memory foam) of pillows could be very helpful for headache sufferers. without understanding too much of the science behind that claim, i landed here and purchased the Sleep Better Iso-Cool Contour Memory Foam Pillow.
at first, when i received the pillow, it was VERY smelly. i'm not sure what that was...chemicals? the plastic wrapping it was in? someone else's review had warned me about that, so it wasn't unexpected, but WOW-wee! i aired it out, as was suggested. after a week of that, i started using it.
it took about a week or so of steady usage for me to start feeling the benefits of using. i started to notice that wasn't waking up with headaches any more--at all. i used to wake up with a headache a few times a week. i have had the pillow now for 2 months, and i'm still liking it a lot.
it's a little funny if you roll on your stomach and you want to hug it--but i don't do that very often. this pillow is definitely for on-the-side sleepers, and back sleepers which i do most of the time.
lastly, regarding the coolness, i just see it as a perk. it's not as cool as the Chillow(tm), but it doesn't get ridiculously hot like most regular pillows do, so i suppose there is value in that.

(good pillow) 『The cooling part of this pillow has yet to be seen by me. The pillow itself is comfortable and has provided me better nights of sleep. I like the good support it provides and it appears my lower back pain when waking up has gone away. I am happy with the purchase.』
(No more neck pain) 『I am writing this review because it was the other reviews for this product that persuaded me to buy it. I had terrible neck pain and now it is gone.

(The Precedent Setter) 『This album has all the famous songs that embody 1960's bossa nova. The recordings have good sound quality and it is a pleasure to listen to.』

(Never got it) 『I never received the Getz/Gilberto CD. I am still waiting. I got the other two items purchased on the same day. UPS is a problem because their delivery system don't work well in my building. It has always been a problem with them.』 『Originally released in March 1964, this collaboration between saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist João Gilberto came at seemingly the end of the bossa nova craze Getz himself had sparked in 1962 withJazz Samba, his release with American guitarist Charlie Byrd.Jazz Sambaremains the only jazz album to reach number one in the pop charts. In fact, the story goes that Getz had to push for the release ofGetz/Gilbertosince the company did not want to compete with its own hit; it was a good thing he did.Getz/Gilberto, which featured composer Antonio Carlos Jobim on piano, not only yielded the hit "Girl from Ipanema" (sung by Astrud Gilberto, the guitarist's wife, who had no professional experience) but also "Corcovado" ("Quiet Night")--an instant standard, and the definitive version of "Desafinado."Getz/Gilbertospent 96 weeks in the charts and won four Grammys. It remains one of those rare cases in popular music where commercial success matches artistic merit. Bossa nova's "cool" aesthetic--with its understated rhythms, rich harmonies, and slightly detached delivery--had been influenced, in part, by cool jazz. Gilberto in particular was a Stan Getz fan. Getz, with his lyricism, the bittersweet longing in his sound, and his restrained but strong swing, was the perfect fit. His lines, at once decisive and evanescent, focus the rest of the group's performance without overpowering. A classic.--Fernando Gonzalez』

This is one of those records where the sum is greater than its parts, holding together both as a fantastic rock record and tour de force work of art. Enjoy!』
(Wow!) 『I have never been a huge Ben Harper fan, but after this CD I am well on my way. Ben Harper has teamed up with some fantastic musicians on this album. The drummer and the bass player lay a great foundation for Ben Harpers vocals and incredible guitar playing. If you like 60's style rock and blues with an emphasis on the rock, you will enjoy this cd. This is my first Ben Harper cd since his first 2, and let me tell you, he has come a LONG way. The simplest way to sum up this album....WOW!』
(Nothing to Get Excited About) 『Unfortunately, nothing shimmers or shines about this album. Its quite soulless and boring. You'd expect Harper to create something with a really cool groove to it, but this album fall, sadly, flat. Thin vocals, crunchy guitars, less than catchy riffing, all makes for an unsatisfactory listen. I have more soul than this album . . .』
(Plugged in and rocking hard) 『The last we saw from Ben Harper was the 2007 "Lifeline" album with his Innocent Criminals band. That album was as introspective and acoustic as anything Ben Harper had ever done. With that bug seemingly now out of his system, Ben decided the moment was right to take time-out from the Innocents Criminals and instead he assembled a new band simply called Relentless7.
The moment that the new album "White Lies for Dark Times" (11 tracks; 47 min.) opens with "Number With No Name", you know this is going to be a very different affair from "Lifeline". Indeed the sound is heavy, even bluesey. Comparisons with the Cream immediately came to mind, check out "Up To You Know", but also Jimi Hendrix. "Shimmer&Shine" is an up-tempo rocker. The first half of the album closes with two other hard-charging tunes: "Lay There&Hate Me" (with the line "Never trust a woman/Who loves the blues", ha!) and "Why Must You Always Dress In Black". Wow, talk about a fantastic first half. "Skin Thin" kicks off the second half of the album in a decidely more relaxed fashion. In fact, there is only one more heavy track, namely "Keep it Together". The closer "Faithfully Remain" is a great way to round out this collection.
As much as I liked "Lifeline" for what that was, I really really like this album. I think Ben Harper benefitted tremendously from assembling a new backing band, as it seems to have energized him. Ben's songwriting has never been better in my opinion. I've seen Ben on tour with the Criminal Innocents, and can't wait to see him at some point on stage with Relentless7.』
(The Very Thing that Drives You Can Drive You Insane) 『For his tenth studio album, Ben Harper has traded his normal backing band the Innocent Criminals for a new one the Relentless7, but make no doubt, White Lies for Dark Times still sounds like a Ben Harper album. What the Relentless7 adds can be heard most on the rock songs that sound bluesier and closer to a garage band, the three musicians come from Texas, sound than the more polished Innocent Criminal sound.
That influence can be heard of the drums and fuzz first single Shimmer&Shine and the album opener Number with No Name which is a slide guitar from down on the bayou that takes a pit stop in Seattle. The spacey yet raw Up to You Now is reminiscent of something off of Mirror ball which famously saw Neil Young replaced for the album Pearl Jam with Crazy Horse. Lay There&Hate Me features an opening piano groove and bassline that borders on disco with some "ooh's" that could have been lifted from a Rolling Stones record yet mix together perfectly. While Why Must You Always Dress in Black sounds like something from the Jimi Hendrix catalogue. Keep it Together (So I Can Fall Apart) starts out that way until it breaks down into kind of jam band type groove.
The slower songs sound more like vintage Harper for better or worse. Skin Thin sounds like it has appeared already on his previous nine albums with just a changed lyric or two. On the flip side of the coin is Fly One Time that just builds and builds with a driving groove to the point where Ben's voice starts to crack. Hopefully the rejuvenation from the Relentless7 keeps Ben Harper putting out listenable music for another ten albums.』 『2009 release, the ninth studio album from acclaimed singer/songwriter and Grammy Award-winner Ben Harper. Harper has now reunited with band mates met when recording Both Sides of the Gun (2006) Relentless7. White Lies For Dark Times is a timeless Rock record, with a cohesive collection of music that is as raw, unrelenting and thunderous, as it is arrestingly haunting and emotional.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Ice Cream) 『"Cool as Ice" is the wonderfully bad cinematic masterpiece--of Vanilla Ice,the white rapper who preceded Marky Mark AND Eminem. It's got Naomi Campbell (briefly) and a delightfully cheesy plotline. Vanilla Ice stars as a rapper--of course--who has an amazing flying motorcycle and falls for a suburban teen whose father disapproves. The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese--but this movie was made for the music,wasn't it? "Cool as Ice" is so bad,it's classic.』
(Cool As Ice Movie Review) 『Cool as Ice was a good movie. There is not much to the show. The only thing that would be interesting is if you liked Vanilla Ice the rapper when he was popular. It's fun for the different things that made that time popular. Vanilla Ice does some rap in the movie so if you like that I definitely recommend.』
(Cool as Ice: Vanilla Ice Strikes Back) 『Seriously though...
Vanilla Ice has the acting skills of a piece of driftwood.
Oh man, this movie is terrible. It's so terrible that I found myself cracking up the majority of the time. It's so mind-numbingly bad that I actually kinda liked watching it. But I just couldn't bring myself to give this crapfest a four or five star rating, no matter how many times I laughed at it. It's basically Vanilla Ice trying to be a neon-clad James Dean with fantastic pickup lines such as, "Drop that zero and get with a hero." Do I really need to say anything about that one? Didn't think so.
My favorite scene of the movie would probably be the one where he magically jumps his motorcycle over a fence without a ramp. Who needs physics? Not Ice.
So if you're bored (and preferably drunk and/or high), pop this cheesefest in your old VCR.』
(Ice Makes the Inner-City Safe for Native Drug Dealers) 『Reprising R. Lee Ermey's role from "Full Metal Jacket" this non-Kubrick directed sequel picks up 20 years after the original with Ermey's character now played by Vanilla Ice and living in South Central L.A. Having been kicked out of the army for literally skull-******* a cadet, (which we are shown in ghastly up-close detail in a sepia-tinged flashback)Ice is a private investigator who starts noticing weird signs appearing in shops in the neighborhood. After a trip to the elementary school library next to his office to look the writing up, he realizes that, yes, his old nemeses the Viet Cong are back and after his hood. Using his neon-yellow, talking motorcycle from the future (voiced by the sonorous and gentle Art Garfunkle) Ice eventually uncovers that the VC are infecting LA's gang-ridden slums with an ultra-powerful form of crack known as Ice-9. Determined to end the VC's reign of terror and win back America's honor after the left-wing inflicted defeat of Viet Nam, Ice and Garfunklebike beat down legions of VC thugs until finally reaching the gang's resurrected zombie leader, Ho Chi Minh (look for a young Jet Li in the role!), and defeating him in an epic battle royale with a little help from WWF fave Rowdy Roddy Piper. The movie ends with Ice and Garfunklebike riding into the sunset discussing name changes since his name is, like, now associated with a deadly form of crack. Though mustering little box-office support upon its release, "Cool as Ice" has since been consistently ranked highly on the AFL's list of 100 Greatest American Films.
FUN FACT: On his death bed Stanley Kubrick expressed regret that he had allowed this gem to slip through his fingers, suggesting that if he had helmed it as originally planned that it would have been ranked above, instead of below "Citizen Kane."』
(Get with a hero) 『With a script from the dream team of Akira Kourisawia and Stanley Kubrick, the pressure was all on the shoulders of director David Kellog. Coming through like a bull in a china shop, Kellog delivers a modern answer to Bergman's "Seventh Seal" that not only uppes the ante, but says, "I'm all in."
Let us not forget the jacket.
With it's leather stiched cries of passion it is reminicent of a classically trained Adler student, it delivers a tour de force in it's delivery of lines like "Sex me up!" ""Down by law" "and "Faith is a torment. It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call."
"Cool As Ice" also employs a number from Pulp Fiction, using the book of Leviticus 3:14 to drop wisdom on us with the quote "Drop that zero and get with the hero."
Method to the end, Ice still resides in the Southern California community that this harrowing documentary was shot in, battling injustice and intolerance with his mighty yellow motorcycle.

Update: I have had them both for quite some time now and they still flicker. However I felt obligated to add that in all honesty they stop flickering after seeming to "warm up". That is, after being on a few minutes they can be turned on and off without them flickering. Also, the lights last quite a while on the original batteries.

(pleasure shaving again) 『I purchased this replacement shaving head for my electric razor received as a gift, after discovering the merchant who sells the shaver does not carry replacement parts as this; i.e.: Wal-Mart. It made the shaver like new again and while recommended replacement is yearly, I will consider replacing each six months to maintain comfort. Installation is a matter of seconds; simply pull the old one off and place the new one on-done.』
(Perfect OEM replacement) 『This is the original part for the shaver and will make your shaver as good as new. The list price of $45 is quite steep considering you can buy a new shaver for thta much and sale price of $34 isn't much better.』

(Replacement Blades) 『Have owned the Norelco RQ10 razor for over a year now and very pleased with performance/quality/maintenance. My main problem is cost for replacement blades which are, I feel, expensive since they probably should be replaced every 8 - 10 months for max. performance. The most economical answer would be to replace just the circular blades and combs, not the whole head which seems to hold up fine. Ability to remove old blades and trying to get actual mfg. new blades (not knock-offs or used items) via online would be the big problems, any suggestions?』 『Norelco RQ10 Shaving Heads』

(Good one) 『I bought this product after going through all the reviews. The product does what it says...I have seen considerable reduction in the white dust accumulation in the room and well as mineral deposits on the operating surface of the humidifier. I have used it only for 1 month now...and the filter is still working...
Cons:- Only problem i found was that the filter doesnt fit the humidifier perfectly. [To the first time users - this filter replaces the existing cap of the humidifier tank]. I own the Crane Penguin humidifier and the tank sits on the base perfectly with the original cap. But with the filter (even after securing it tightly to the tank) the tank doesn't sit perfectly on to its base...it remains a bit raised (due to the imperfection of the filter) and causes the water vapors to leak thru the sides...not a big deal though. And I am not sure whether it's a problem with the particular piece i bought.』
(doesn't fit Penguin model correctly) 『I live in the desert and bought the filter to help with the hard water. However, when I use the filter and put the water tank on the base, it no longer sits flush. It comes up just a little bit, so steam comes out the back, and it's sort of close to the on/off switch. It didn't seem like a good idea to allow that to continue, so I will be returning the filter for a refund.』
(Crane humidifier filter - not worth it) 『We have hard water in our house, so I thought this filter would help, but, in fact, it made things worse... every time we added water to the humidifier, we noticed that the plastic was orange and slimy. Now that we've removed the filter, we don't have this problem. Maybe it works better with soft water.』
(Does the job) 『My humidifier is a penguin-shaped one. I had no problem whatsoever installing the filter. The only thing that you want to keep in mind is that you have to give it 15 minutes to pre-soak, so that the water from the tank starts to get through. I've been using it for about a month now, no white dust whatsoever.
The only concern of mine is whether you win anything with this filter pricewise: it costs around $8 and serves for about two months. So, you should see for yourself whether it is cheaper than buying filtered water to fill the humidifier up. Ultimately, it boils down to how intense you use your humidifier.』 『Demineralization Filter Cartridge. Fits Models Frog, Elephant, Cow, Pig, Penguin, Dog, Ca』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Macboo pro and mac mini) 『I bought two of these. One for my Macbook Pro and one for a Mac Mini (both late 2009).
It is very, very simple to use. It is a nice touch for those Mac users who wish Apple would implement HDMI. Video quality is good. It's nice to have for Netflix and other video application.
Note as other users have said, sound will not be carried through this cable.』
(Can't go wrong!) 『This adapter works just as good as my friends apple version. Difference is he paid an extra 15 or 20 bucks!!! Be aware that this cord will not transmit sound though. This is not the adapters fault but Apples fault for not giving the MacBook this capability. Bottom line, works as advertised and the price is right.』
(It works) 『Awesome product, it works. Don't forget the Macbook Pro does not pass sound through the mini displayport.』
(Not shielded well - but you get what you pay for...) 『I am using this on a Mac Mini. Does the job for video, but I had to put a book over the wire as after a few hours of pain debugging my wireless signal, I found that the cable disrupts my WiFi to the Mini. It seems the other reviews are with Macbooks. The Macbook WiFi antennas must not be as close to the adapter location.』
(Amazing. Affordable.) 『Works flawlessly right out of the box. No setup necessary - just plug it in.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (DO NOT BUY! TERRIBLE! DOES NOT WORK!) 『Based on the price I purchased this item, not thinking it would be great, but that it would get the job done. It worked for all of about 4 minutes and then stopped transmitting a signal, which means now music! I believe the problem is that it heats up quickly and becomes to hot to operate. I am so angry that companies rip consumers off with these terrible, cheaply made products.』
(Best Darn FM Transmitter) 『Well i bought this Trans for [...] and guess what! its really good. Yeah the quality made isn't the best, but the price and sound quality is. When you get it, don't use the usb cable and little cable because it will sound in only one side. Just use the USB and Viola il marche tres bien. Totally Good Buy.』
(Decent FM Transmitted; some defects) 『For the price, this is an excellent value. It worked with my iTouch and once I got it tuned in, it provided solid FM quality audio. Those who say it produces CD quality are exaggerating slightly. MP3s by their nature are not capable of CD quality, and neither is FM. But the sound quality is that of a radio broadcast and that is all you can expect. I had previously tried a cassette adapter which provided very muddy sound; this FM transmitter is definitely superior. A couple defects. The LED was mostly illegible so tuning was a challenge, and the remote didn't work, but who needs a remote? Still worth the price.』
(Great Product) 『Great fm transimitter. works great with less or no interferebce. i think this is the best transmitter i owned in my life. great sound quality. I live in Dallas and it works great. Only one glitch is that there is no on or off button. Other than that this product is great and it works better that $100 products. Its a must buy. For 11 dollars this transmitter more than what you expect.』
(FM transmitter brodacast only on the right.) 『I just got this unit. The sticker on the remote control is just that....a sticker. It means absolutely nothing and does nothing. There is no playlists, browse, extras, setting, or backlight. It's like something you'd see on a childs toy to simulate the real thing. The FM transmitter is only broadcasting on the right channel. I tried it in a different vehicle with the same results, just the right side. You have to hold the remote almost directly in front of the transmitter to make it work.
It does control volume, skip, fast forward, rewind, and change the frequency on the transmitter. You'll see some reviews on here that state the sound is better if you disconnect the ipod connector, just using the battery in the ipod. The remote then stops working as THAT's how it controls the ipod.
With the headphone jack plugged into the bottom of the ipod, the fit in the seat is not very good.
I'm not sure if I trust this thing to charge my Ipod Touch battery.

An indicator light lets you know it's charging. I used it for a sony x series walkman. It seems it works for any MP3 player. It's definitley worth your $4.00!』
(Inexpensive but useful IPod accessory) 『The quality of this unit is acceptable, but the usefulness is excellent. The price is even better than that! It works with both my IPod Nano and Shuffle. No need to fire up my computer anymore; just plug this unit into the wall and plug the IPod USB into this unit. There's even an LED to tell you that power is available. This ishelpful if the outlet is on a switch and you're not sure of power is available or not. Overall well worth the low price...』
(Great charger!) 『I am an Apple addict. I have two macbooks, iphones, ipod and a shuffle. I will never understand how Apple can make such great products and then flake on chargers, earbuds, etc. When I received the shuffle as a gift I was thrilled with the size and the product in general; however, having to use a USB charger all the time quickly became irritating. I have two USB ports on my computer and between printers, speakers and external hard drives, the last thing I needed was one more product that not only used a USB port to charge, but REQUIRED it! This adapter is perfect! Again, people claimed they had problems with their shuffle frying after using this, but I have had no problems. This adapter came in a bundle package I purchased and I must say, I use this adapter the most! The price was also a huge factor in purchase. Anyone who has purchased adapters or any kind directly from Apple know how expensive they can be - this is a great product at a great price.』
(Handy little charger.) 『I've got no complaints at all with this charger, although I'm wary about leaving it plugged in for an extended length of time. I make sure that I disconnect as soon as I noticed the iPod is charged. But it's nice that it doesn't have a seperate cord.』
(good product) 『I never needed a charger that plugged into the wall for my ipod before....until I had to go out of country and did not have access to a computer. This charger is excellent! I use it to charge my ipod at home now to for those occasions where I don't feel like turning my computer on.

In addition to the educational value of moon phases it is on everynight as a nightlight. No complaints.』

He can control the moon light with a remote control and doesn't have any excuse to get out of bed anymore. He loves it. The perfect "brightness" for a nightlight. Shuts off automatically after 30-minutes so no wasting batteries. And because it runs on batteries there are no dangerous cords hanging anywhere. It's awesome!』

A bonus is given for the most words in each round (so little words can help you win), as well as for the longest word. Quiddler is a delightful challenge for both rookies and word game lovers.

Although there is a solitary version of the game for one player, you can play with up to eight. Cards containing letters of the alphabet and special combinations of letters are dealt in increasing number each time the dealer completes a round. Once you've collected your share, you can discard and pick up a new card with each turn. The object is to turn all the letters in your possession into dictionary-proof words while leaving one stray card as a final discard. You want to be the first to accomplish the goal, of course, but there is a scoring system that makes the play competitive for everyone. One nice element is the cards themselves: the letter design is based on beautiful artwork from Celtic manuscripts. This card game is a 1999 Parents' Choice Silver Award winner.--Tom Keogh』

I cannot use this item AT ALL. It is marketed/advertised that it comes with an AUTO / D/C plug included to plug in and use in your car, and if you wanted to buy the optional A/C HOUSE plug it was sold seperately. It is supposed to come with the AUTO DC plug, which I am shocked and pisssed off it didn't. I am returning this ASAP and will never order another product from this company ever.』
(First Koolatron was defective, 2nd one we have not used yet) 『Purchased the Koolatron Compact Kooler. Used it for a weekend (worked great)and then it stopped working. The cord that plugs into the car became extremely hot, too hot to handle. Unplugged it and the next time we went to use it, it didn't work. Replaced the fuses several times in the plug and each time we plugged it in, the fuse blew. Contacted Amazon and they sent a new one out right away and we sent the other one back. Have not had the opportunity to use the new one yet. Hopefully it works longer than the first one.』
(Happy as I can be) 『I've been very happy with my purchase. My Koolatron kept drinks and snacks very cold with no problem. As other reviewers have already noted you need to power up the unit roughly 12 hours prior to loading it with items you want to keep it cold. This unit is not a refrigerator so if you pack it with items not chilled already in refrigerator then it will be a long time before things get cold.
Whether my unit will be reliable long term I cannot say but on my recent use I have used it four days straight without a problem.』
(If our experience is any indication, please be careful!) 『We were very sorry that this item broke down for us - even after we returned the first and then tried a brand-new second one. We purchased the first in June for a 3-week road trip in July. We also purchased the AC adapter, especially given that the manufacturer recommends when you're on the road to keep the unit going at night with the adapter so it remains cool. The first two weeks, it was fine. Then it all of a sudden, with no warning, stopped working. Whether using the cigarette lighter outlet in the car or the AC adapter - it was dead. We returned it to Amazon when we got home and they were wonderful about sending us a new one to replace it very quickly. Then we went for a 3-day trip with the new one over Labor Day. This time the new one lasted maybe 10 hours on the first day and also died. Amazon allowed us under the circumstances to return both cooler and AC adapter (minus 20% which I can't kick too much about). However, our experience leads me to question whether Amazon should continue to carry this "product." We followed all the instructions and did not abuse it in any way and it was definitely very nice - WHILE it worked. Sorry to be so negative but I'm sure you want the truth before you lay out this kind of money for something that can so easily and consistently stop working.』

Too often they are books that like to highlight what a parent does wrong, while giving very little real advice about how to effectively be a parent. Essentially, Runkle could have simplied this into one sentence: "It's rarely effective to yell at your kids". Unfortunately, I already knew that before I read the book.』
(Friedman for the Masses, A Great Foundation) 『A good preacher should always read on book on preaching a year. Really, he should read more than one, but one is the minimum.

Children are a great blessing from God. In fact, I kind of expected Charity (my wife) to know how to raise kids and I would just help a little. Now I wanted to be involved, but raising them, I was hoping she would know everything. She does know a lot, but I do not want to be a passive parent. I want to be the best parent possible for my children that God has given me. I want to raise them up to be faithful Christians more than anything else in the world. So I am working on reading some parenting books. This was a good one. I am not really given to yelling much, must confess I am not perfect though in this area. But this book is based on Friedman's foundations, which I am a huge fan of. The book was good at helping you be a non-anxious presence for the child and allowing the child to develop into a mature adult. I did wish there was some more practical advice. The theory was excellent, but I need sometimes a step one and step two if she or he does this. It was a good foundational book though. Anyway, it is worth the read.』
(Screamfree Parenting) 『"Parenting is about parents." is one of the main issues of Runkels book. Another of his credos is "You're responsible TO your children" instead of "...responsible FOR...". His approach is convincing and you would be wasting a lot energy NOT to listen to him.
He keeps encouraging the reader / listener to stay connected with his / her own emotions. So you are far less likely to to act instead of reacting. You stay connected to yourself AND your kids. The author provides various examples of how his concept works. The stories he recalls refer to kids from toddler to teenager.
I regret that this book hasn't been translated to German yet.』
(Scream free parenting) 『Of all the books on parenting I have read I found this one to the one I come back to time and time again. Many of the phrases in this book have become my parenting mantras. It is sensible, practical and applicable to not only our relationships with our kids but with our spouses, friends and coworkers. I would recommend it to anyone.』
(Stay Calm and Don't Buy This) 『I have read dozens of parenting books. This one is just okay. The author pretty much strokes himself throughout the book. His big story about how he lost his patience at a pancake house had me saying "that's the worst you've got?" His back patting story about how he kept his calm while his two year old climbed up the outer side of a flight of stairs had me saying "oh please". And as my six year old is reaching for the garbage disposal with my hands in the sink I am supposed to "take a breath" before I react by calmly saying "honey don't grind mommy's fingers". The author says our kids are not responsible for their parents feelings. On this we agree. We need to meet our own needs and not expect our children to do this. But, he makes it sound like all you have to do is "choose" to stay calm. No offense but has the author ever parented while pregnant? sleep deprived? nursing? How about while unemployed, house hunting, looking for a decent school or dealing with a terminal illness in the family? I got a good one, has the author parented while going through menopause? I dare him to try to stay warm and fuzzy with that. Give me the pancake house scenario any day. I guess when I was nine months pregnant and my three year old took off her muddy shoes and smeared the mud all over the inside of our new...not yet even made one payment on...van, I should have taken a deep breath, handed a thirty-six month old a rag and said "please clean this all up before mommy goes into labor." I didn't. I "choose" to blow my hormonal top and put her in time out and I suppose she felt responsible for me getting angry...something the author discourages. Does not ruining the interior of a $36,000 vehicle give the parent a right to lose their cool? The author seems to think what works for him, will work for all. Anyone who has more than one child knows that what works for one, almost never works for all. After nine years of parenting three "high spirited" children, the best help I have ever gotten has been informally, on the playground, in the stores, on the block. Another parent saying "I've been there" has been more helpful and encouraging than any book.』 『You Can Start a Revolution in Your Family . . . Tonight
ScreamFree Parentingis not just about lowering your voice. Itâs about learning to calm your emotional reactions and learning to focus on your own behavior more than your kidsâ behavior . . . for their benefit. Our biggest enemy as parents is not the TV, the Internet, or even drugs. Our biggest enemy is our ownemotional reactivity. When we say weâlost itâ with our kids, the âitâ in that sentence is our ownadulthood. And then we wonder why our kids have so little respect for us, why our kids seem to have all the power in the family.
Itâs time to do it differently. And you can. You can start to create and enjoy the types of calm, mutually respectful, and loving relationships with your kids that youâve always craved. You can begin to revolutionize your family, starting tonight.
Parenting is not about kids, itâs about parents. If youâre not in control, then you cannot be in charge. What every kid really needs are parents who are able to keep their cool no matter what.
Easier said than done? Not anymore, thanks to ScreamFree Parenting, the principle-based approach thatâs inspiring parents everywhere to truly revolutionize their family dynamics. Moving beyond the child-centered, technique-based approaches that ultimately fail, the ScreamFree way compels you to:
focus on yourself calm yourself down, and grow yourself up
By staying calmandconnected with your kids, you begin to operate less out of your deepest fears and more out of your highest principles, revolutionizing your relationships in the process. ScreamFree Parentingis not just another parenting book. Itâs thefirstparenting book that maintainsâfrom beginning to endâthatparenting is NOT about kids . . . itâs about parents. As parents pay more attention to controlling theirownbehavior instead of their kidsâ behavior, the result is stronger, more rewarding, and more fulfilling family relationships.
For those of you reading whoareparents,knowparents, or havehadparents, the notion that the greatest thing you can do for your children is to learn to focus on yourself may sound strange, even heretical. Itâs not. Hereâs why:weare the only ones we can control. We cannot control our kidsâwe cannot control the behavior of any other human being. And yet, so many âexpertsâ keep giving us more tools (âtechniquesâ) to help us try to do just that. And, of course, the more we try to control, the more out of control our children become.
âDonât make me come up there.â âDonât make me pull this car over.â âHow many times do I have to tell you?â Even our language suggests that our kids have control over us. Itâs no wonder that we end up screaming. Or shutting down. Or simply giving up. And the charts, refrigerator magnets, family meetings, and other techniques in most typical parenting books just donât work. They end up making us feel more frustrated and more powerless in this whole parenting thing.
This practical, effective guide for parents of all ages with kids of all ages introduces proven principles for overcoming the anxieties and stresses of parenting and setting new patterns of connection and cooperation. Well-written in an engaging, conversational tone, the book is sensible, straightforward, and based on the experiences of hundreds of actual families. It will help all parents become calming authorities in their homes, bring peace to their families today, and give kids what they need to grow into caring, self-directed adults tomorrow.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Full of Wisdom and Practical Tools) 『I love the title of Susan's book. It speaks so clearly to the power struggles that we all experience with children and even with one another. I have children and have worked around children (high school guidance counselor) most of my adult life. I have not seen such practical examples and "how to" guidance when dealing with our own questions of why things are not going better in our relationships. Thank you so much for putting my instincts and understandings into words. I will be recommending your book to many parents, teachers and friends.』
(Gentling Through Childhood and Beyond) 『Through my children's adolescence and teenage years I benefited from Susan's professional guidance and anticipated the publication of "Parenting Without Power Struggles." She does not disappoint. Her advice is simple, sensible and easy to follow, where many parenting books require multiple bookmarks and highlighters. The result of using Susan's techniques -- even with older teenagers -- has been profound and rapid. Even our neighbors have commented on how quiet our household has become! "Passionate Parenting" has helped me forge an incredibly close and respectful relationship with my sons and remain at the helm of my household with a happy and (mostly) willing crew.』
(Amazing Book) 『I have probably read 50 parenting books in my life and this is the best one ever. It is so well written, so right on topic. It is so easy to immediately transfer the info from this book into your day to day life with your kid. Loved it, loved it. Don't hesitate for a second to buy this one.』
(A Parenting Style That Strengthens the Love and Connection In Our Family) 『I love this book! As a mother of 4 unique girls, Susan's book has helped me shift my parenting style profoundly resulting in more harmony in the home. Thank you Susan for writing this book! It is a must for all parents who want to parent, as captain of the ship, from a place of deep love and connection versus control and manipulation. Susan's book is like a rudder for me, as the captain, whenever I get off course.

(Finally, a parenting book that rises above the others!) 『I've just read Susan Stiffelman's book, Parenting Without Power Struggles, and the title alone is enough to make a weary parent sigh. Finally, a book that resonates with my parenting instincts and offers concrete, do-able suggestions for accomplishing what sometimes seems to be the impossible: maintaining authority or as the author so lovingly calls it, being the 'captain of the ship,' while encouraging and deepening a loving bond between parent and child. How often have you walked away after yelling at your child out of sheer frustration and felt crummy, thinking 'this isn't right.' She addresses so many of our common areas of power struggle, like HOMEWORK. She also encourages us to 'celebrate our children' but not in a false manner that leaves them dependent and ill-equipped for the world. For busy parents, aren't we all, the book is laid out in short, easily readable chapters. A great place to start that will surely pique your interest are the Check Lists in the very back of the book, Checklist #1 and Checklist #2. Check it out!!! Anna Anawalt, Los Angeles, Caliornia』 『
