Secrets of Success: The Science and Spirit of Real Prosperity

Customer Review: Exciting and Empowering!
Secrets of Success: the Science and Spirit of Real Prosperity, by Sandra Anne Taylor and Sharon Klinger,is a winner!

When we learn to shift our consciousness into a happy state of mind, it raises our life force energy and manifestation happens. The book essentially teaches us to reach that state of mind. Taylor writes about paradoxical intent–which is when we block what most want because we are desperate for it to happen. Our neediness pushes what we want away! Taylor explains how to replace the neediness with focus and determination.

According to Taylor: “Your consciousness reaches across time and space and connects with the universal consciousness to influence your destiny and that of the world. As a result, your attraction lies in becoming aware of the very real powers of your mind.”

Part I covers the major elements of the manifestation process: consciousness, energy and intention. The goal is to understand and control your life-force energy.Taylor emphasises the importance of a joy-filled life, rather than the much more mundane pursuit of single goals.

Part II was written with her twin sister, Sharon Klinger, and delves into manifestation from the spiritual point of view. It includes numerous exercises and Taylor recommends keeping a journal.

Part III covers common questions and the answers about manifestation, or the law of attraction.

As a professional interior designer who incorporates Feng Shui into my practice, I am already familiar with many of the concepts presented in this book, particularly life force energy used to manifest. These concepts are very powerful and ancient. Energy in homes has been used to raise the occupants life force energy for more than 3000 years!

Taylor concludes: “That’s what I hope this book will do for you–bring the irresistible power of real happiness into your daily experience. The full spectrum of your life turns upon this very moment. Your present choice to live in joy, courage, and grateful celebration spreads success in every direction. With that as your core vibration, dont be surprised when the blessings of the material world start to magically flow your way.”

Customer Review: Vibrating alarm lasts only 1 minute
After reading all the reviews for this alarm, I figured that this would be the best thing for my 14 year old son. He has such a hard time waking up in the morning. We even tried holding one of those alarms that have the two bells on top that clank over his head and that did not wake him up. The first morning he used this alarm, he tossed a little and started to wake up but the vibrations stopped after only one minute. That definitely is not long enough to wake someone up. I contacted Sonic Alert and asked them about this and they said the vibration only lasts for one minute because the clock runs on batteries. I told the customer service agent that was not long enough to wake someone up and she suggested that I try one of the other models that run on electricity since the vibrations will go on until you actually get up and shut off the alarm. I am returning this one to Amazon and have ordered one of the other Sonic Alert models. I also made sure to get the extension cord for the vibrator so the alarm clock can be placed as far away from my son forcing him to get up out of bed to shut it off.
Customer Review: Pretty Good Travel Clock
Overall I liked this product. The design has its good points (the clip is a nice addition and i like that you can use the clip to put the clock up as a hanging clock)and its bad points (the buttons/switches could have been better designed - a bit clumsy). I LOVED that the product comes with batteries INCLUDED so its working out of the box. I also liked the nice bag that came with it although note that it is different from the bag in the photo (the bag I got was a zip-up circular bag made out of cloth.).

Customer Review: FINALLY OUT ON DVD!
If I was ever going to be marooned on a deserted isle (with electical power, of course) there are three comedy movies I would want with me: The Odd Couple, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Three O’Clock High. For the longest time I was going to have to make due with just the first two since Three O’Clock High went out of print years ago. I almost forked over an insane amount of money when I saw a 5th generation copy of a rental store video selling on a popular auction site, but it just wasn’t worth it to me. I am glad I waited, because someone with more than two brain cells to rub together took the initiative and released this hilarious and fast-paced comedy for both older fans and a whole new audience. Not as teen-sophisticated as “Sixteen Candles” or “Pretty in Pink”, and not as gnarly and racy as “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, this high school comedy film has a lot going for it in its own right. It even has an early appearance of Mitch Pileggi (X-Files’ “Skinner”) as “The Duke-ster” - playing a HILARIOUS truant officer. The only downfall is the very heavily soaked ’80’s musical soundtrack, but this is it. If you can still stomach the likes of Tangerine Dream with their ‘keytars’ drum machines, and synth samplers, then you are in for a really fun 90 minutes. The transfer to DVD is bright and clear, and the cover still has the original theatrical artwork.
Customer Review: Glad to see this finally make it to DVD
I actually have an old VHS copy of this movie, because until now this one was never released on DVD. This is for sure a cool movie, along the lines of two more well known 80’s High School comedies, “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off” and “Better Off Dead”. The humourous camera angles, the extreme close ups of the minute hand on the clock, the pep rally where cheerleaders attack a dummy of the opposing team and beat it with bats while the bully looks over at Jerry from the other side of the gym with a look like “This is what’s gonna happen to you after school”…..classic 80’s comedy!

Aladdin
Disney’s 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there’s an incredible hook atop the whole thing: Robin Williams’s frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin’s genie. Even if one isn’t particularly moved by the love story between the title character (Scott Weinger) and his girlfriend Jasmine (Linda Larkin), you can easily get lost in Williams’s improvisational energy and the equally entertaining performances of Freeman and Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar’s parrot). –Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Carmen’s movie
My 2 year old granddaughter loves this movie. She sings along to most of the movie. She is saying all the words too.

Customer Review: One of the good ones.
Aladdin is definately one of the best Disney movies. However, all of these added “special features” that drive up the cost of the DVD and dub it “platinum” are completely unnecessary. Disney has a bad habbit of adding useless garbage to their DVDs. Unfortunately, Aladdin is not available on DVD without all of the nonsense.

I would still recommend this movie to anyone young or old for a good laugh and to see Disney’s usual ability to transform an old tale into a “magical” story for all to enjoy.

Big Clock
What if you were asked to investigate a murder in which you were the prime suspect? From this seemingly impossible notion comes a grandly entertaining nail-biter. Charles Laughton plays the punctuality obsessed, slave-driving head of a publishing empire who won’t let his crime magazine’s star editor (Ray Milland) take a day off to spend with his family. The overworked Milland, having just upset a delayed honeymoon trip for the umpteenth time, goes on a sorrow-drowning, bar-hopping bender with a mysterious woman who, it turns out, is Laughton’s mistress. Later that night after Milland has gone home, Laughton murders her, and the next day he assigns Milland to investigate, since a number of clues point to her having spent time with another man that night. Milland, then, must not only find the real murderer but sidetrack the investigation away from himself. That both characters are solving the crime in tandem yet unwittingly working toward pinning the murder on each other is at the heart of The Big Clock’s labyrinthine brilliance. Helping bring out the dark humor in this adaptation of Kenneth Fearing’s noir novel (included in the Library of America’s Crime Novels collection) is Elsa Lanchester as a high-strung painter who can sketch the prime suspect (Milland), a time-bomb plot device that only adds to the already unbearable suspense. This is a taut, lean thriller, superbly handled by director John Farrow, who never fails to remind his audience through repeated use of clocks, timepieces, and watches that all too often in our lives that ticking sound is the enemy. This was remade in 1987 with Kevin Costner as No Way Out. –Robert Abele

Customer Review: Milland, Laughton, Lanchester and Macready in a minor gem from the great Studio days
This film is classified as a film noir but visually, at least, it is fairly bright. While the prologue and one scene near the end are enveloped in satisfyingly inky shadows, the most memorable scenes and the moments of highest tension take place beneath a cold, corporate glare. As far as the drama goes, though, it’s noir all the way: an ordinary schnook does something that he knows perfectly well he ought not to do and all-too soon finds himself in a cold sweat as he attempts to wriggle out of the deadly consequences of his own folly. Both the original book by Kenneth Fearing and the movie took the classic elements of a whodunit and mischievously turned them inside out. The who-, how- and whydunit are perfectly clear. The story is about how the noirish human rat (so to speak) attempts to escape from a trap of his own making. For those familiar with the book, it is enlightening (or perhaps depressing) to see the then all-powerful Hollywood Code at work. Stroud, the protagonist of the book, is distinctly not a heroic or even admirable character on the printed page. His attitudes, his motives and his actions are, to put the most favorable spin on them, unsavory. To a considerable extent, he deserves the misery that falls on his head. On screen, he is still not a paragon, but he’s sidled a heck of a lot closer to Jim Anderson of “Father Knows Best” and Mr. Cleaver of “Beaver” fame. He is even faithful, more or less, to his wife, portrayed by Maureen O’Sullivan. (Alas, she is demurely clothed throughout and long past the great old days when she was Tarzan’s barely dressed main squeeze.) Ray Milland is fine as the poor schnook trapped in the gears. He has presence, rakishness, charm and the rare ability to project inner turmoil and aching discomfort through all three of those other qualities. Charles Laughton, that prince of bulky character actors, is delightfully revolting as an egotistical, self-centered swine with a continent-sized sense of entitlement, who presides over a vast publishing empire and is absolute lord of his New York skyscraper kingdom. Elsewhere it has been suggested that his character bears some resemblance to Henry Luce in the glory days of Time and Life Magazines. More current reference might be made by Canadians to Conrad Black and by Americans to Rupert Murdoch. For the era of the book and movie, Cond? Nast Publications or even Street and Smith might have served as a better match for Laughton’s publishing behemoth than Time-Life. This is a movie that provides an unusually large number of small speaking parts for people whose features are familiar but whose names hardly register. Two character actors stand out, however. George Macready may have had a limited acting range, but nobody ever bettered him as an icy, uptight SOB. He’s at the top of his form here as Laughton’s chief henchman. More impressive yet is the wonderful Elsa Lanchester, who–as always!–owns every scene in which she appears. She was Laughton’s wife, in a marriage strange even by Hollywood standards. I suspect that her role, really not very much as written, grew as she took the bit between her teeth and director John Farrow had enough sense to let her go where she would. This story was updated, rethought and remade with Kevin Costner under the title, “No Way Out”: deplorable, deplorable, deplorable and deplorable. “The Big Clock” is not a great picture nor even a great film noir, but it is vastly entertaining. That’s enough for five stars by my reckoning. **** A MINOR OBSERVATION: The director of this film was John Farrow. His wife was Maureen O’Sullivan (hence, I suppose, the modest outfits and even more modest performance.) Their daughter is Mia Farrow. John Farrow may be seen with Milland in the trailer for “The Big Clock” as they jointly tout the forthcoming picture.
Customer Review: The Big Clock
Memorable for its edgy dialogue and tense, sinister atmosphere, John Farrow’s 1948 adaptation of Kenneth Fearing’s novel boasts an ingenious plot device: two characters, one guilty and one innocent, both attempt to “solve” a crime in which they are circumstantially implicated. Milland, solid as ever, anchors the action as the cornered protagonist, while portly Charles Laughton is superbly loathsome as the controlling, megalomaniac killer. Fine support from Maureen O’Sullivan, Elsa Lanchester, and Harry Morgan–chilling as Janoth’s mute, gun-toting bodyguard–round out this time-tested thriller.

Customer Review: A game for the true survival horror fan!
If you truly are a survival horror fan, you will definitely appreciate this game 100%. I just read so many reviews which said they were hoping for a Resident Evil or Silent Hill; if you are expecting this… you will be left unsatisfied. As for myself and so many others who love this genre of video games, this game still has so much to offer after playing it multiple times. I think many people are missing the point and are expecting blood and guts splattered all over the screen and a strong protagonist character, but in this case… it is more strategic than that and all you have is a young female character desperately trying to stay alive. The story is excellent and one of the most complete for the PS2 console. I have never played a game where the story was so thought out and integrated into the gameplay. Pointless missions, characters and items do not exist as everything has a purpose and only contributes to the advancement of the plot. You actually learn to sympathize with Alyssa and feel like you ARE her by the end of the game. For this aspect alone… this game deserves better ratings than found here! Character movements are easily executed and you will not be disappointed with the controls as there is no awkwardness. Running, using items, hiding and fighting are all easy to accomplish. You will not wish that the protagonist ran faster, because this is the key to many of the boss fights and the development of Alyssa. Boss battles are very strategic as you will have to learn when to strike and when to flee from the villain. You will also discover how to balance these two aspects of gameplay along with figuring out tricky puzzles and executing the necessary plot catalysts all at the same time! No one will tell you that this is easy, because the game is challenging in its own right. The graphics are cartoonish and not very realistic, but this only adds to the story and the imagination that Alyssa shares with her audience. No bad programming and no choppy sequences are found throughout the game. Your character will not become stuck in random places for no apparent reason as the environments are beautifully sculpted and rendered. My favorites are the cutscenes because they are very relevant and meticulously done. There is a lot running around while being chased by subordinates which only helps keep you on your toes and makes you think a lot faster. If you do not like games that push you to your limits, this may not be the game for you as if forces you to come up with solutions to stay ahead of these monsters so you have time to figure puzzles and paths out. Please remember that you are controlling a young girl and she does what any young girl would do under stress and that also forces you to have more advanced planning. Alyssa has a panic meter that can send her running beyond the players control and the only thing you can do is hope she calms down fast enough in order to run and hide. The game even supplies you with a calming lavender elixir that facilitates this relaxation. The boss battles are fun and rewarding and always give the players a challenge. I look forward to the boss battles because this is the only time in the game where you get to use Rooder arrows and other items you collect! I am sure that you will find all of these subordinates interesting and unique, and these beings give you a more and more complex fight as you proceed through the game. As far as a scary game goes, this has a lot to offer. Creepy music and a very enticing storyline add very much to the survival horror flavor. Unsettling chases and the persistence of the subordinates keep you locked on the edge of your seat! I highly suggest this game to anyone who enjoys a good storyline and unique gameplay. You will not be disappointed and will definitely pop this one in again and again! Don’t listen to the negative reviews and try this out for yourself!

Stanley Consumer Storage 014725M 25 Compartment Professional Organizer
Customer Review: It works as designed!
It kept things in their own compartments well. We used one for beads, and they stayed in place even when I shaked it up-side-down. We are going to buy 2 more.

Customer Review: Stanley 25 Compartment Organizer - Great Product
Stanley Consumer Storage 014725M 25 Compartment Professional Organizer

The Stanley Professional Organizer is a great product. This 25 compartment model has a variety of different sized compartments, including several sizes smaller than the one included with the 8 compartment model Stanley Consumer Storage 014708R 8 Compartment Deep Professional Organizer. They are both great.

This one is a little better for storage of smaller quantities of small parts. If you need to store larger pieces or need bins for large nubmbers of similar items (such as nails) you really should get the 8 compartment model instead. That goes as well for people using this for tech part storage.

I have plumber friends that also use this to store fittings. Just about every pro or hobbiest could find a use for this. In fact, there’s probably a million uses, and depending on your needs the other styles may suit you. All of these are really good so you can’t miss.

Love the durable feel, much better than most flimsy organizers I have tried. The compartments are all seperate, much better than the Workforce organizer which only has flimsy tabs seperating the areas.

I hope Stanley expands to this line of organizers because they are all really good.

Definitely try this.

Enjoy!

Price: $19.99
Customer Review: pretty close to what I was looking for
I am pretty near sighted, and I was looking for an alarm clock with big numbers. I get pretty tired of adjusting the time on the clock, so this time around I went looking for an atomic clock. This clock was pretty easy to set up, just put the batteries in, set the time zone, and it does all the rest. It set the time and date automatically. Now the reason for the 4 out of 5 stars. The clock is battery powered, not a bad thing, for an alarm clock, if you have a power outage, you don’t have to worry about not getting up on time. But, I was looking for a clock that was lit up at night. That way if I woke up for some reason, I could see what time it was, and just go back to sleep if needed. The clock is back lit, but only when you push the button on the top, too much effort to find the time when I am sleepy.
Customer Review: Disappointing at best
I’ll admit from the beginning that the clock I received did not work. Even before that I was disappointed, however. It is smaller than I expected (maybe 4″ x 4″) and it only works on batteries rather than plugging into the wall. The auto setting feature worked but was an hour ahead of the real time. Mine didn’t work so I wasn’t able to trouble shoot why that was or try the alarm.

Customer Review: The BEST Alarm Ever!
I shopped and shopped for a great alarm.. and I finally found it. I love how many awesome features it includes. The alarm can be turned up.. and the tone changed… The vibrator is great for when I need to be up and my man is still asleep. I also love the phone feature. It’s fantastic because if the alarm is set for any time, it will go off when the phone rings.. whether it is time for the alarm to go off or not. Now sometimes, that’s not such a great thing, so I have to unplug it. However, it has been wonderful for my home business. Now I can vacuum the floor and still hear the phone. I seriously recommend getting one.

Customer Review: Really loud but messes with my signals
Great loudness level - bed shaker works wonders! I especially like the plug-in for my bedside lamp ONE HUGE DRAWBACK - I cannot leave this clock plugged in all the time! Each time I plug it in, I have to reset it! Reason being: this clock messes with my cell phone (a motorola phone) and whenever my cellphone is charging and this clock is plugged in - the clock’s alarm will just keep going off!!! Really annoying drawback, now I am back to my regular alarm clock and whenever I have something especially important I will plug this one in for good measure.
Customer Review: Average at best
Maybe I’m just to heavy of a sleeper, but this performed well under my expectations. The only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because it did come with the vibrator part and the buzzer sound was able to be adjusted by volume and by pitch (low pitch to high pitch). I never tried hooking up a lamp to it, although you could add that too. I just didn’t like it all.

Made in Heaven
In Made in Heaven, Timothy Hutton plays a young guy in 1946 who’s just been dumped by his girl and decides to go to California. On his way, he rescues a family from a car that’s driven into a lake–and drowns in the process. Of course, he finds himself in Heaven, and there he meets Kelly McGillis, a soul who’s never been born on Earth. The two fall in love. Just as they’re about to get married–just for the fun of it, since by the rules of Heaven they’re already married–McGillis gets sent to Earth to be born. Hutton pleads with Emmett, a figure who may or may not be God, who finally agrees to give Hutton 30 years on Earth to find her and continue their love. This 1987 Alan Rudolph film teeters on the edge of absolute cheesiness and steps over that edge at moments, but mostly it miraculously maintains a delicate, sweet, and affecting tone. McGillis is good, but Hutton is superb, demonstrating an honest charisma that makes him engaging even when he’s being a jerk. The depiction of Heaven avoids the patronizing, overdone joyfulness that too many movies fall into. Though the idea sounds like pure saccharine, Made in Heaven consistently sidesteps the obvious and comes up with something genuine. Rudolph is a prolific but erratic director (his stronger movies include Choose Me, Trouble in Mind, The Moderns, and Afterglow), but this is one of the ones worth seeing. Made in Heaven features Debra Winger and an uncredited Ellen Barkin, as well as cameos by rock stars Neil Young, Ric Ocasek, and Tom Petty. –Bret Fetzer

Customer Review: Absolutely awe inspiring movie.
Saw this when I was very young, maybe 9 or 10, and it somehow moved me in a visceral way that I simply cannot convey in words. But I never found out what it was called. With the memory of the powerful ending vaguely imprinted on my mind I vowed that I would one day find out the name of this movie. I have been clutching at straws for years trying to figure it out. Only recently did I find out, I’m now 25!

I have used the the Warner Brothers comment system on their website to try push for a DVD release. It MUST happen. AMAZON, if you can hear me, please do ALL you can.

The voice is neither loud nor crisp even at the higher of the two volume settings.
Customer Review: Handy Inexpensive Solution
My mother has macular degeneration and is hard of hearing. The mechanical-sounding female voice on this little plastic talking clock took some getting used to. For example, it was hard for Mom to hear the difference between “thirty” and “fifty”. She had to use her hearing aid to get the gist. However, now that she is familiar with the sound, she can use the clock without her hearing aid. The clock is small and light, so she can hold it right next to her ear with no problem. The big button is great. I ordered a larger, louder, clearer-sounding clock for next to her bed. But she likes this talking clock just as much. In fact, she carries it around the house, putting it on the breakfast table, next to the TV, etc. throughout the day to keep track of the time. I’ll probably order another one as a back up.

District B13 [HD DVD]
For eye-popping kinetic thrills, District B13 tops the class. In the near future, the worst ghettos of Paris have been walled in and left to rot. When a neutron bomb gets stolen by a criminal kingpin in seedy District B13, Damien–a cop who specializes in deep cover assignments (Cyril Raffaelli, a stuntman turned actor)–has to team up with Leito (David Belle), who grew up in the district and has his own reason for going back: the kingpin kidnapped his sister (tough yet adorable gamine Dany Verissimo). The plot takes a few preposterous turns, but it’s beside the point–every turn serves only to maintain the relentless flow of sheer physical prowess. Belle is one of the inventors of a sport called parkour, which treats a city’s architecture like an obstacle course; while running from gun-toting thugs, Leito leaps, bounds, and scrambles up and down buildings with astonishing grace. The fight sequences are just as down-to-earth yet over-the-top as Damien whirls, kicks, and crunches through armies of bad guys. Just as important is the tongue-in-cheek tone that never turns smirky; the movie doesn’t take itself seriously, but doesn’t mock itself or its basic cinematic pleasures. Anyone looking for a break from the overbearing CGI and self-important pomp of Hollywood action movies should watch District B13. –Bret Fetzer

Customer Review: awesome!
Completely underrated French film that made no noise stateside and didn’t even get a soundtrack released despite killer beats from Da Octopusss (you have to go his myspace page to hear them), this is flat out the most delightful action movie I have seen this decade. The action is excellent, the leading tag team are affable despite, apparently, being stuntmen by trade, the dialogue is sharp and the pacing quick, the plot is completely ridiculous and it has all the style of everything that Luc Besson has even been remotely associated with. In and out in a frenzied 90 minutes. Really, any plot that features a nuclear bomb with a 24-hour timer on it has to be a good movie.

District B13 (originally titled Banlieue 13 in its native France) is directed by Pierre Morel, and stars Bibi Naceri, David Belle, Cyril Raffaelli, Tony D’Amario, and Dany Verissimo. *** District B13 takes place in France in the not-so-distant future. The worst parts of the country have been literally sealed off by walls, isolating and quarantining the residents within. In these sectors there is no law and order, and the drug lords reign supreme. One man refuses to put up with the drug lords, and destroys a valuable shipment. His sister is abducted in retaliation, and his plot to rescue her fails, landing him behind bars. Eventually, he joins forces with an undercover officer - and the twosome must find a deadly neutron bomb before it can be set off. *** As far as “purely action” movies go, District B13 is a fine French import. It’s light on the story and plot development, but when it comes to action and stunts, the film is on a plane all its own - and the film spares no expense on the thrills. The movie feels more like a collection of stunts and action scenes than something with a flowing, truly coherent storyline. But at the end, after having been thoroughly entertained by all of this, who am I to complain? If it’s action you seek, this is your film. *** The personnel who worked on this film really show their stuff off in the action scenes, making the entire movie entertaining. Belle and Raffaelli are more than just actors, they largely do their own stunt work - and the results speak for themselves. The filmmakers here edit these action scenes excellently, and when you watch the movie, you’ll see that the results speak for themselves. The crew here, on both ends sides of the camera, accomplishes everything they set out to do. *** Yes, the characters are a bit on the shallow and one-dimensional side. But this isn’t the kind of movie that puts its emphasis on character development. For action fans, there’s no finer foreign film. — Image And Sound: My review is based on a screener disc, so picture quality on it doesn’t represent the commercially-released disc. — Special Features: None on the screener disc I reviewed. Final Words: District B13 is a fun-filled, non-stop, action-laden thrill ride that makes no apologies for what it is - and is all the more entertaining because of it. If you’re looking for a dosage of cinematic action, District B13 is for you.

Coleman Rechargeable Quick Pump
Designed for inflating and deflating beds, boats, and other inflatable items, this cordless, rechargeable electric pump makes the chore fast and easy. It works with Coleman double-lock and quick valves, Boston valves, and pinch valves, and is compatible with all Coleman beds and inflatables, as well most other inflatable products. It does not, however, work with stem and needle valves, such as those in basketballs, bike tires, etc. For valves other than pinch valves, there’s an adapter nozzle, and for pinch valves there’s a separate adapter. The pump inflates from one end and deflates from the other. A plug-in transformer comes with the pump to charge the battery. –Fred Brack

Customer Review: Blew up my boat!
I bought this pump for my Sevylor HF350 inflatable boat. It blew it up in about 20 minutes of actual run time. The directions read to take a 20 minute break after 10 minutes of continuous use.

I was surprised by how it keeps on pumping even with a lot of back pressure and resistance from the inflatable.

Afterwards, I blew up a Coleman Colossus raft in about 5 minutes, and an air mattress in about 2 min!!

So far, I think it’s a great value.

Customer Review: Works great!!!
I purchased this pump for our coleman kayaks. Love it! It’s a must if you are thinking about purchasing them.

Customer Review: Not very intuitive
Very sleek design. Lights up nicely. Does what it is advertized to do. However, one cannot use it without reading the directions. Setting the alarm(s) cannot be done w/o thoroughly reading product information. Designed by engineers for engineers.
Customer Review: Very modern design, packed with functional features.
I was looking for a clock-radio that was easy to set up for alarm functions and had decent sound quality. The Sony ICF is it! I took it out of the box, reviewed the instruction sheet and put it to work. The clock sets itself after you select your time zone. The alarm functions were easy to set by reading and following the instructions carefully. I have chosen to wake to the “Buzzer” which I find to be unobtrusive and polite. This radio has a huge snooze bar which is nice, no groping in the dark trying to find it for a few more ZZZ’s. The radio pulls in many stations, clearly and the sound quality is pretty good, for a clock radio. It’s not going to replace a full blown stereo system but at least it doesn’t sound like it’s being projected from a tin can. It was a very simple matter to pre-set the stations that I wanted to keep in it’s memory. The volume switch, as well as a few other function buttons, are not located in the most convenient of places but with a little memorization, this is no problem. I have yet to use the CD or MP3 input. There are some reviewers that wish the display was not so bright. I guess I’d have to say I am one of those, too. That said, I couldn’t wait to see what it looked like at night. This radio looks like a well lit, UFO runway and at it’s brightest provides enough light for a good size room. Hit the snooze bar and it goes into it’s mood lighting mode; your wife or girl friend can throw away the candles, this thing does it all! Tap the snooze bar a third time and the mood lighting goes out and leaves only the clock back-lit. It would be nice to be able to dim the clock light more, so I just turn it to where it’s not facing directly at the bed. (Looking at the photo of the radio, the lights come from the two rows of buttons along each side of the CD compartment and the snooze bar. It looks pretty cool and quite mod! This coming from a kid that grew up in the 60’s and 70’s…) All in all it’s a very nice, well thought clock-radio, with decent sound quality, packed with features and well worth the extra bucks. I just wish they had different styles…it looks pretty space age and funky setting on our antique reproduction furniture!

Customer Review: FINALLY OUT ON DVD!
If I was ever going to be marooned on a deserted isle (with electical power, of course) there are three comedy movies I would want with me: The Odd Couple, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and Three O’Clock High. For the longest time I was going to have to make due with just the first two since Three O’Clock High went out of print years ago. I almost forked over an insane amount of money when I saw a 5th generation copy of a rental store video selling on a popular auction site, but it just wasn’t worth it to me. I am glad I waited, because someone with more than two brain cells to rub together took the initiative and released this hilarious and fast-paced comedy for both older fans and a whole new audience. Not as teen-sophisticated as “Sixteen Candles” or “Pretty in Pink”, and not as gnarly and racy as “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, this high school comedy film has a lot going for it in its own right. It even has an early appearance of Mitch Pileggi (X-Files’ “Skinner”) as “The Duke-ster” - playing a HILARIOUS truant officer. The only downfall is the very heavily soaked ’80’s musical soundtrack, but this is it. If you can still stomach the likes of Tangerine Dream with their ‘keytars’ drum machines, and synth samplers, then you are in for a really fun 90 minutes. The transfer to DVD is bright and clear, and the cover still has the original theatrical artwork.
Customer Review: Glad to see this finally make it to DVD
I actually have an old VHS copy of this movie, because until now this one was never released on DVD. This is for sure a cool movie, along the lines of two more well known 80’s High School comedies, “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off” and “Better Off Dead”. The humourous camera angles, the extreme close ups of the minute hand on the clock, the pep rally where cheerleaders attack a dummy of the opposing team and beat it with bats while the bully looks over at Jerry from the other side of the gym with a look like “This is what’s gonna happen to you after school”…..classic 80’s comedy!

Customer Review: comfortable and light
I like these shorts, they keep me cool and are comfortable during my workout. The fabric is light. Pretty good overall.

Customer Review: Great Shorts!!
These shorts are great. Very lightweight comfortable, and flexible. I have tremendous freedom of movement. I didn’t find them too short. I like the length. My only issue is that sometimes the lining rides up a little causing me to make adjustments after exercising or sitting etc.

Customer Review: Very nice wireless Thermo-Hygrometer for the price
I purchased this unit for monitoring the humidity in the crawlspace of my house. Recently I installed a dedumidifier and covered the crawlspace to prevent high humidity. So, the remote wireless sensor unit is mounted under the house and the main unit is at my living room. I like the accuracy and large digital display.
Customer Review: Very disappointed
I have it in my home far from any heat generating appliances still this unit reads 85 degrees… My central AC is set for 70, so I just know its no where near 85 degrees, so I put this device directly in front of a fan and the temperature starts going up higher! Its either broken or completely inaccurate because its never dropped below 85 degrees in the two days that I’ve had it. I’m thinking of placing it in the freezer just to see if it will lower its temperature. I’m disappointed. The unit itself looks nice and stylish with a huge read out, it requires a total of 4 AA batteries, 2 for the main unit and another 2 for the secondary sensor that can be placed outside. The instructions say not to use rechargable batteries because they don’t give a constant supply of power.

Customer Review: All synthesized, just terrible…
My wife and I received this CD as part of a set, a gift for our baby-on-the-way. I just started to listen to it. All of the music is synthesized, and at mediocre quality. How’s that enriching for the baby? You never hear the actual instruments, only a synthesizer’s imitation. Better to get a standard collection of classical music, they’re not expensive. They don’t have a cute cartoon animals on the front, but are higher quality, and as soothing.
Customer Review: Soothing music for babies, children, and even adults.
This is a very soothing CD featuring the music of Beethoven in a soothing manner. It is a toned down version of Beethoven’s music. It would be comforting to babies, children, and even adults. A great way to introduce children to classical music. I play it in children’s yoga classes and they recognize it. Apparently it is already popular with young children. The only downfall is the children really think it is just for babies.

The Bucket List
“You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you,” says the quietly wise Carter Chambers, played with gravitas and grace by a Morgan Freeman. In Rob Reiner’s moving, often hilarious film The Bucket List, all sorts of people measure themselves against the two heroes, Chambers and his hospital suitemate, Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson). But as Cole finds, having spent his entire life building a Fortune 500 company, none of that much matters when cancer, the great equalizer, pays a visit. The film traces the adventures of the two unlikely friends, who meet in a hospital cancer ward, each given six months to live. The “bucket list” of the title refers to a lifelong list of goals that a teacher of Chambers once advised him to compile–and achieve–”before you kick the bucket.” Soon the two are off on what may be the last grand adventure of their life, vowing to tick off as many goals (skydiving, race-car driving, seeing the wonders of the world) as they can in the time they have left. What starts as a medical melodrama becomes a road trip, yet the men’s mortality realities are never far from thought. The two leads give impressive performances, and remind the viewer of just how few American films focus on the lives and loves of senior citizens. Nicholson even manages to lose his persona in his character, much as he did in About Schmidt. There’s a lovely John Mayer tune, “Say (What You Need to Say),” that’s perfectly matched to the film’s clear-eyed view of life: What does one person leave behind as his true legacy? –A.T. Hurley

Customer Review: Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman light up the screen in the Bucket List
Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman… how good can you get? You get the best male actor ever known and the best African American actor ever put them together in a heart warming, touching movie like this and you have pure gold. I can not say enough good things about the Bucket List. It’s inspiring, moving, and heartbreaking. The best that Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman have to offer. Both make this movie look true to life, effortless acting, and spunk to boot. Putting them together was the best of the best any director, movie studio, or writer could have imagined. Check out the Bucket List… it’ll make you laugh, cry, and feel good in many ways.

Customer Review: a great little clock
This is a great little clock for the money. It didn’t take me long to learn how to set and adjust the time and alarms. Having the option to set two alarms is a nice advantage, especially if one person has to get up earlier than the other. Overall, I think this is a very good, easy to use, economical clock. I’d definitely recommend it to others.
Customer Review: Great dual alarm clock
Very easy to set and use. I saw some reviews that complained that is was not loud enough. I am a very heavy sleeper and it seems quite adequate on my bedside table. Plus the battery backup is a must have feature with summer storms approaching.

Tagco Spice Stack - White
Spice StackTM makes organization a simple matter and maximizes space. Three tiers organize up to sixty spices. Each tier is equipped with a pull out drawer that flips down on hinges for viewing at a glance. Has a logical, easy to operate design that fits all cabinets. Drawers are color coded to divide spice varieties. Plastic, 11 x 11 x 8″.

Customer Review: Bought 2 - love ‘em!
First, these are great. They have five narrow spaces in the front and four wider spaces in the back of each drawer. They pull out and lever down conveniently. They fit nicely on our cabinet shelf and really helped to make our spices usable and tidy.

Now for the things that you should be aware of before purchase:

1) The plastic is not flimsy, but it is not sturdy either. The structure wobbles a bit when you use it — so I pull out the drawers with care. I love this thing and don’t want it to break!

2) The spaces are sized to fit your traditional round spice containers (tiny half sizes, full size, and larger sizes in the back), but they do not fit the extra large sizes that you can sometimes get in the grocery. These I put on another shelf. We have a few fancy new square glass bottles and rectangular spice tins that are roughly equivalent in size to the traditional containters. So that you know, these fit in the drawers, but they obviously don’t fit the round shape.

3) In the description, I recalled that it said that the shelves could be labeled. No labels are provided. There is space for this, but you will have to cover a colorful, oddly shaped sticker that displays the product name on each shelf. I suspect that our organization scheme may change from time to time as our spice selection changes, and that labeling over the product name sticker will look hokey, so I am letting the label idea go.

Overall, this product was a bit more expensive than I would have wanted to pay for an organizer, but it works quite well.

Customer Review: GREAT item - clean storage lines
My pantry finally looks like an organized person uses it!! Wish I would have bought them earlier!

Clock
Sometimes simplicity can be heartbreaking. So it is with The Clock, a wonderfully simple love story that stands as one of the gems of the MGM golden years. It should be noted right off that this 1945 film is not a musical, despite a talent roster led by the maestro of MGM musicals, producer Arthur Freed. Rather, it’s a straight, black and white romance about a soldier (Robert Walker) with a two-day pass in unfamiliar, overwhelming New York City. He meets an office worker (Judy Garland), and in the glow of the city and each other, they fall in love. Underlying the sweetness of the romance is the time limit of the soldier’s leave, after which he will be sent overseas; the clock brings an urgency to the action, especially after the lovers lose each other in the crush of a subway. Veteran character actor James Gleason provides lovely support, as does his real-life wife, Lucile. Director Vincente Minnelli brought his designer’s eye to the film, turning (by his own avowed intention) New York City itself into the third main character in the drama. It’s not difficult to guess the reason for the film’s strong emotional tug, or for Judy Garland’s radiance; Minnelli had fallen in love with Garland during the making of Meet Me in St. Louis a year earlier, and they would marry after filming The Clock. She was never lovelier than in these two pictures. –Robert Horton

Customer Review: The Definitive 1940s Love Story!
I first saw this movie when I was eight years old and ten years later I still have not grown tired of it. It is one of those films which gets better with each viewing. The deceivingly simple love story of a young woman and a GI who fall in love and get married within 24 hours seems formulaic. But this film is anything but formulaic. The characters are unique and down-to-earth. What I liked best about this film is the way you can imagine what life was like in New York in the 1940s. The mannerisms of people and the mood of the America in this movie are so different from today, yet the film has aged well and is still relatable. Anyone who has ever felt bewildered in a new city could connect to Robert Walker’s character (it is everybody’s dream to find his/her soulmate by accident in a strange city populated by millions!) The film is may be slow-paced for some, but don’t let this discourage you. By the end, you’ll be surprised how completely immersed you’ll be in the story and the characters. The film, besides starring Judy Garland in her only non-musical role, has an excellent supporting cast and is directed by the talented Vincent Minnelli. And as a side note, the beautiful musical score of the movie amplifies all the emotions in the film. Don’t be surprised if you get watery eyes.
Customer Review: Great Acting in a Wacky Plotline
Compared to most of the other reviews, I’m sure mine will seem like a cynical, bitter pill. I’m under the age of 50, so I’m sure that might have something to do with my opinion as well. Listen: I love movies from the golden era as much as the next guy, but this overly sentimental bomb is saved only by Judy’s presence in an otherwise near-psychotic piece of Hollywood drivel. I’d rather watch Wizard of Oz, at least I know I’m watching a fairy tale ahead of time. Since others have given the basic plot line, I’ll skip to the parts that I thought were completely implausable. It takes a great deal of suspended disbelief to swallow this movie. The fact that they have not exchanged more than first names after 24 hours is a great example. People do more than that even in today’s fast-paced dating scene, so I’m sure that in that age you’d need a bit more info before falling in love and getting married, regardless of impending war. The dialogue in the park scene was absurd and the odd music (complete with angelic vocals)under the scene where they somehow unrealistically fall in love made it seem extremely… well, unrealistic. A ride from the milkman in order to get home from the park? Sure, I’ll swallow that. Delivering the milk for him? I doubt it, even in that innocent time. Then we get to the cafe scene. Pure Fellini. The drunk and the extremely odd woman at the bar made it seem like a nightmare scene at best. More odd was the fact that Judy’s character just smiled, chatted and drank her coffee during the whole scene, nearly obvlivious. The “let’s get married right now” and “we have to get a liscense and blood test before 4:00 PM” writing, acting and montages were all heavy-handed at best. And the wacky dialogue and plot turns through this section made the film fall lower than it should have. My favorite scene: During the wedding dinner at the cafe, when Alice laments her wedding as “ugly” and cries. The whole drama is being watched by the kitchen help at the next table, strategically placed close and dead-center in the shot between the two stars, simply ruining an otherwise nice bit of acting. Minnelli might have known what to do with musicals, but he bruised this movie with poor choices throughout. Parts of this turkey were downright laughable, and not in the right places.

Bought this extension cord at the same time as the sonic boom alarm clock in order to be sure teenage son must actually get out of bed and go across the room in order to shut off the alarm. The alarm itself is wonderful however the combination of the two is a MUST!! What use is the alarm if the person using it should turn it off and then try to get a few more winks?

We had the opportunity to chat with Sophie Uliano over e-mail about Gorgeously Green, her suggestions for saving the Earth, and the very real possibility of becoming a hippie. Here’s what Sophie had to say about the economics of eco-consciousness, the allure of non-toxic nail polish, and of course, whether it’s truly easy being green.

Amazon.com: I’ve heard a common complaint that energy-saving light bulbs, organic food and clothing, and other “green” products are not as economical as traditional products. Is that true? Any tips for readers who want to be eco-conscious and budget-conscious too?

Sophie Uliano: I think that going green has a double meaning in that it also is about saving money. There is no way that I would or could go green if it meant that I was going to have to pay much more. If you make the cleaning spray that I suggest in my book, you will save a bunch on cleaning supplies because it’s an all-purpose cleaner that I use on almost everything (a great germ-buster too). You will pay a little more upfront for energy-saving light bulbs, but as they last 15 times longer, you will save money in the long run. Food is the only thing that you may have to pay a bit more for, however, I think that your health is an important investment, so I choose to save on boring cleaning supplies and treat my family to food that not only tastes more delicious, but will keep them healthy and vibrant. Remember that if you follow all the energy-saving tips in the book, you are going to save a wad of cash too–so it’s a win/win.

Amazon.com: I think many people are interested in making more sustainable choices, but when it comes to the heavy lifting it can be hard to break old habits. We tend to think, “Someone else will ride their bike to work today–I’ll drive like I always do.” What advice do you have that can help people “walk the talk”?

Uliano: I agree that it is hard to break old habits. My suggestion is to break one habit at a time. Choose the one thing that bothers you most. For me it is using paper towels when I know that I can easily use a rag instead. Make a decision about the change you want to make and tell your friends and family that you have decided to do this one thing and that you want their support. It could be that you are going to cook one organic meal from scratch once a week, or that you are going to air-dry your clothes this summer or simply that you will wash out a barely used zip-lock bag, instead of throwing it away–easy!

Amazon.com: Furthermore, I’ve heard many people worry that eco-consciousness is the first step toward becoming a granola hippie, to use one of your own phrases from the book. Do you have to be a hippie to go green?

Uliano: You so don’t have to become the tree hugger/hippie to live a green way of life. I feel passionately that you can still have the glitz, the glam and the gleaming house because now there are so many eco-friendly companies that offer you safe and healthy choices: nail polishes, organic clothes that are fabulous to name a few.

Amazon.com: Not everyone lives in an area where green options are available and accessible. Can you suggest a few ways that readers can live a greener lifestyle even if they don’t have easy access to car-sharing companies, wet dry-cleaners, and other alternatives you mention in your book?

Uliano: If you don’t have easy access to some of the green options in my book, it really doesn’t matter. No matter where you live, you can make a start. I recently visited my in-laws in Georgia, who have fewer options than we do here in Los Angeles; however, they have embarked on making their own cleaners, composting, growing veggies etc. There’s advantages to living in a metropolitan city in that you can buy all the great eco-stuff, but if you live in a more rural setting, it’s fantastic too because you may have a yard in which you can grow tomatoes or air-dry your laundry. I’d pick the latter if given the choice!

Amazon.com: Your book is mainly directed toward female readers–what tips do you have for men who are interested in making sustainable lifestyle changes?

Uliano: I wrote my book for women because I realized that as a mom, wife and working girl I could show like-minded women how easy it is to become green, however, men can totally benefit from my book too! My husband doesn’t have a huge interest in non-toxic nail polish, but he’s fascinated with everything solar and has started biking everywhere. We work together as a team, inspiring each other with our daily green discoveries–it’s fun!

Customer Review: I wanted to like this book….
I wanted to like this book, I really did. I found it to be very cute, but a bit of a puff piece.

There’s alot of tid bits of information, but nothing substantial. Some information is conflicting - on one page Sophie says she avoids microwaves and doesn’t want it altering the molecules in her food. Yet, on another page, she writes that the microwave is the most eco-friendly way to cook, as it uses the least amount of energy.

And yoga sun salutations and exercise instructions don’t belong in a green guide. They just don’t!

I also purchased Easy Green Living by Renee Loux and found it to be much more substantial and informative - like a mini encyclopedia on what you need to do to live green.

Customer Review: my bible!
This is the best book i have bought in a long time.. Very insightful and life changing.

Customer Review: It does it’s job.
I needed a small compact clock for my room as I was tired of finding my cell phone to see the time…. So I got one of these as it was cheap and compact looking. I cant comment on the alarm clock function as I use my cell phone for that, or for the radio, as I have my own stereo system…. Hence only 4 star. Other than that, it’s sturdy, small enough to fit in the spot I wanted it to, but not too small that I have to strain my eyes to see the time. For $5.99 and promotional 4 for 3 deal, I think it’s a great value for the price.
Customer Review: This clock radio is good only for providing the time
I do not recommend this product if you’re looking to use the radio of this item. The reception and sound on this radio is unbelievably bad. I’ve put the radio in every room in my house trying to see if the reception would improve but it did not. This is the second time I’ve purchased a product made by Coby. I purchased a Coby DVD player 3 years ago and it did not work from the day I pressed the power button. I had hoped that their products’ performance may have improved since then but I now see that it has not. I’m now saying goodbye to Coby products forever.

Stop the Clocks
Oasis have been at the helm of the world’s music scene for over ten years. To mark that achievement, this first-ever Oasis retrospective draws together the years of multiplatinum albums, No. 1 singles, and–unique to Oasis–instantly familiar B-sides into one 18-track double album, entitled Stop the Clocks. Furthermore, this collection has been chosen by the band themselves–selecting the songs they believe encapsulate their remarkable career to date.

Customer Review: Looking for an Oasis in the musical desert
I am one of those people who’ve always thought the Gallagher Brothers to be one of rock’s over-rated pair of siblings. They made two killer albums, Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, then fell into the trap of believing their own hype. Once you get past the Beatles mimicry of their best single, “Wonderwall,” there’s precious little here that suggests originality. Not like that ever stopped a rock band from being great. These two CD’s make a case for Oasis being one white-hot singles band, even if they skipped Be Here Now to do it. There’s plenty of spot the influences to play here, from “Cigarettes and Alcohol” ripping off T Rex to the Stonesey swagger of Liam’s vocals. There are a couple of anthems to be found here, like “Don’t Look Back In Anger” and “Go Let It Out.” Oasis always did one other thing right; when all else failed, make a glorious big racket even if the song wasn’t perfect (”Rock and Roll Star” or “Champagne Supernova”). I hesitate to rate this higher than average, mostly because of the spotty selection. Noel and Liam seem to berate their own work - publicly voicing their distaste for “Be Here Now” for instance - at the cost of leaving gaps in the chronology. For someone looking to dig deeper into what Oasis is supposed to be legendary for, it shorts the band. For a casual listener, this will probably do fine. And frankly, getting those first two CD’s will also probably give you all the Oasis you’ll ever need.
Customer Review: A missed chance
Back in 1994 I was pretty much fed up with grunge, specially the way the music industry had exploited the alternative rock genre, but in late 1994 I saw the video for “Live Forever” by a new band from Manchester, England, Oasis and made an instant impact on me, I tought these guys are going to be huge, and they were. Their debut album “Definitely Maybe” was an instant classic and in less than a year they followed it up with their sophomore album “What’s the Story (Morning Glory)” and they were on top. In reality the Brit-Pop Scene had been started a couple years before by Blur and Suede, but Oasis were the biggest band of them all. Now was Oasis destined to be the next great Rock N Roll band and release more great albums? We now know that wasn’t the case, they became bloated. The albums they released after, weren’t as nearly as good as their first two albums. In 2006, 12 years after and with their contract expired with Sony, it was time to release a retrospective of their hits. This was not Oasis first compilation, in 1998 they released “the Masterplan” a collection of B-sides up to that time. So Noel Gallagher took the task of assembling the greatest anthems this band ever produced, which to me is a no brainer, right? It looks like Noel had a very different idea, he selects 4 B-sides already included in “the Masterplan”, ignores “Be Here Now” completely and almost “Standing on the Shoulder of Giants” by including only one song of it. They pressed 2 CDs but only put nine songs on each. I knew all this but the reason I bought this compilation was an improvement in sound, it was minimal. To be honest if you already have the albums, you don’t need this, if you are just getting into the band there is no way around it, buy the first two albums, they are classics, as for this compilation the one good thing about it is the price. I see now a box set in the future which should be more comprehensive, but for now this is my ideal song listing: Disc A: 1.Rock N Roll Star, 2.Live Forever, 3.Supersonic, 4.Cigarrettes and Alcohol, 5.Slide Away, 6.Roll With It, 7.Wonderwall, 8.Morning Glory, 9.Don’t Look Back In Anger, 10.Champagne Supernova. Disc B: 1.D’You Know What I Mean, 2.Stand By Me, 3.Don’t Go Away, 4.Go Let It Out, 5.Who Feels Love, 6.The Hindu Times, 7.Stop crying Your heart Out, 8.Layla, 9.The Importance of Being Idle, 10. Stop the Clocks (I heard they recorded a new song, but for some reason didn’t include it in this compilation).

Contech Electronics Scarecrow Motion-Activated Sprinkler #CRO101/CRO102
Finally a way to keep unwanted animals out of the garden and protect your yard, fruit trees, vegetables and flowers from hungry or destructive creatures. Cats, dogs, deer, rabbits, large birds, and many others. The patented Scarecrow motion-activated sprinkler is the smartest scarecrow ever invented. When it sees an intruder it instantly releases full garden hose water pressure towards the trespasser. The effect is both startling and immediate. Animals quickly get out of the area and avoid it in the future.The ScareCrow motion-activated sprinkler is constructed of durable, high-quality materials, and has been designed to provide many years of reliable service.

Using the ScareCrow is easy. Simply attach a standard garden hose to its base, set the ScareCrow in the ground in the area you want to protect, and then turn on the water. Once you switch the unit on, it is ready to go.

How does it work?
The ScareCrow uses a combination of sudden noise, unexpected movement, and a startling blast of water to create a memorable and unpleasant experience for the trespasser.
The animal immediately associates this unpleasant experience with the location, and to avoid similar surprises, learns to avoid the area. If an animal chooses to return, the ScareCrow will be waiting.
While a human may flee several steps after activating a ScareCrow, animals are typically affected to a much greater degree. In most cases they run much farther, and stay away longer. Because the unit only triggers when the animal moves, its behavior is difficult for animals to anticipate, making it a very effective deterrent.

Customer Review: Works great!!!
We purchased the scarecrow to stop the Blue Heron’s from eating our Koi fish in our pond. We tried an owl, plastic heron (moved to different locations frequently) and nothing worked. UNTILL—we purchased the scarecrow. It has been great and no fish missing. I must say my grand-kids also love it to run through and make it squirt them. Teriffic product.

Customer Review: It worked on me!!!
I use three Sarecrows to protect my garden. One morning I forgot to turn off the water. The blast from one of the “crows’ caused me to drop everything i was carrying and scamper out of the garden. it startled the tar out of me!

Only negative so far is battery life is about 1 month. I am now trying rechargeable batteries.
