Very Pleased

iLuv iMM183 S A M E Weather Hazard

iLuv iMM183 S A M E Weather Hazard

I purchased two of these, one for my business and one for my home. I already had a weather radio downstairs in my bedroom but needed another one for upstairs so my children could hear it.

I put two ipods on it, no problems with charging or playing either one,the sound quality was much better than I expected after reading some of the other reviews. This is not intended to replace your home stereo system, but works great for me while I'm cleaning the house. I own two other iHomes, and the sound from this was much better than what I get from them.

The alarm clocks were easy to program, as was the weather radio.

I can assure you, it does have a tornado warning signal, although I was concerened after reading two reviews to the contrary.
If the tornado warning didn't go off during a tornado, there are three reasons I suspect this happened. 1) the county code is not entered correctly. County codes can be looked up on the NOAA website. 2)There is an option on the radio to defeat an alarm. I chose to defeat the high wind warning alarm because its so windy where I live and I don't want it blaring at me everyday. Check your settings 3)the National Weather Service had not issued a warning. There was a reviewer that stated she could see a tornado but the alert wasn't going off. The radio only picks up the signal from NOAA, so if a warning had not been issued, there is no way it could go off. Where I live, we sometimes experience "wind spouts" which present like a tornado although they aren't associated with a super cell storm, therefore there is no tornado warning. Also, if there were no storm spotters in the area to report a tornado, it might not have been reported. Nevertheless, there are tornado watch and warnings on this product.

As a regular ipod user, I found the interface to be simple and intuitive, although I could see how it might be awkward for someone who wasn't used to ipods.

I'm actually surprised at how much I like the product after reading some of the reviews. I am considering getting another one for my bedroom to replace my ihome and weather radio that I have on my nightstand, but I could see how the display could be too bright for some. The entire screen is illuminated, and the numbers are dark, instead of the other way around.

I don't know what else you could want from the product, it does everything it says it will do!

5.0 out of 5 stars

Incredible quality, What aviation books should be., March 2, 2002

By A Customer

Very high quality. Glossy paper. Jet black print. Pictures look like a million bucks. If you are a fan of the Black Widow you will not be disappointed. Also has some great color photos of the postwar military and civilian Black Widows. Much better value than the P-61 warbird tech series book that is printed with grey ink and bargin basement paper. I agree with the thorough review below this review

Nice,light pants

360 Rear View Video Camera

360 Rear View Video Camera

Let me start by saying I read a lot of reviews stating these pants run small. This may be true for some, but for a 26 year-old 5'11" 155lb frame guy like myself these fit absolutely perfect in 32x30. Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the good stuff:

These are the most comfortable pair of pants I own. The synthetic fabric is extremely lightweight, breathable, yet retains durability and excellent stain resistance. The tusk color is basically khaki despite the grayish overtone shown in the online picture. If they become wet they'll dry within minutes, a must for hiking pants. Columbia includes a military webbing-style belt with the pants that I would only use in an emergency situation. I'm not sure which kind of emergency situation calls for a cheap belt, but hey, it's there. The zipper separator runs just above the knee which prevents chafing on extended hikes. The left cargo pocket is zippered, the right pocket Velcro. The zippers all seem solid, with seams blended wonderfully. Now for easy reading, my list:

PROS:
+ EXTREMELY comfortable. I cannot stress this enough, it's almost like being naked from the waist down.
+ Very lightweight yet very durable. I've been stuck with numerous thorn bushes with nothing to show of it in the pant.
+ Dries exceptionally quickly with superior breathability allowing sweat to dissipate fast keeping your legs cool.
+ Convertible-style is a premium. Pants in the morning, shorts in the evening. Detachable legs are labeled at the zipper "L" and "R" for quick reattachment.
+ The waistline features a 2-inch stretch-band right above the hipbones, which, when coupled with a stretchable belt allows for quick and easy pissing. This doesn't seem like much, but when you have to relieve yourself and don't have to dick around adjusting a belt makes for getting back on the trail that much faster.
+ Pockets are big enough to stow away items for easy access without feeling cumbersome or loose.
+ Zipper banding around the leg-separator sports a layer of fabric that prevents metal-on-skin chafing.

CONS:
- No zipper at the bottom of the legs, you may have to remove your hiking boots to remove the pants. If however you wear hiking shoes with less profile this may not be an issue, but I wear boots and they need to be removed first.
- Belt loops are a little narrow, it can sometimes take longer to insert or remove belt than it should. That being said, these are merely inconveniences that do not degrade overall performance.

All in all, these are my favorite pair of pants. I don't just use them for hiking, they make excellent casual wear as well: they look plain sharp. The function over formalities earns a solid 5/5 from me.

Two versions of this pillow are sold under the same name!

Simmons Beautyrest Authentic Talalay Support

Simmons Beautyrest Authentic Talalay Support

The only word to describe these pillows is "perfect". They are without question the most comfortable pillows I have ever slept on, and I do mean sleep. No more waking up, punching the pillow back into the shape I want, then trying to fall back asleep. Now I fall asleep and don't wake up until the alarm goes off. The pillows are soft and extremely comfortable, but don't equate soft with lack of support, or conversely firm with hard. Your head sinks softly into the foam and is practically cradled by the foam, but under your head the foam compresses and provides the firm support advertised, again firm, but not hard. When I move, roll over, or whatever, the foam instantly springs back up into shape, unlike memory foam. I don't want a pillow where the shape of my head is deeply pressed into the foam for many seconds as the foam slowly resumes its original shape; these latex foam pillows respond to every movement of my head instantly. As I said, the only word needed to describe these pillows is "perfect".

Better than our recliner...

Thinsulate Skiing Snowboarding Outdoor Thermal

Thinsulate Skiing Snowboarding Outdoor Thermal

My significant other was badly injured in a motorcycle accident in Sept 2010; he broke his back in 2 places, had multiple breaks in several ribs, and broke his collar bone. Believe it or not, he's walking! However, his pain level is still high even 6 months later and he has a hard time getting comfortable.

When he was being released from the hospital in December, we bought a really expensive, electric recliner but it wasn't being delivered for three weeks. After reading reviews, I purchased one of these Caravan Canopy Antigravity Recliners as a temporary fix... But he prefers this to the expensive recliner and keeps it set up in his bed room. He spends most of his time in it - he even sleeps in it.

Plus, we can take it with us to visit family and friends who might not have comfortable seating for an extended visit.
