Here is the deal with this "straightener." Unlike with a regular hair straightener, the part that gets hot are the metal bristles- or pegs- on the brush. So instead of clamping the hair between two plates, these heated pegs just kind of brush against the hair. To be effective, a straightening tool must do two things: 1) get hot enough and 2) apply enough pressure to actually smooth the curl out of the hair. In terms of temperature, the brush gets sufficiently hot. However, the "bristles" of the brush (the heated pegs) are not close enough together. This means that they do not create enough traction to actually pull the hair straight and smooth out the curl. Imagine trying to iron a wrinkled dress that is hanging (so without an ironing board) by simply gliding a hot iron down the front of the material. It just isn't going to get the job done.

I've used Relacore before and love it. Ordered this time from Amazon, thru their listed distributor DAB Nutrition. But it says it's fulfilled by Amazon, so I ordered. It arrived quick, but the bottle and label appear discolored and old. I looked at the expiration date and it's more than a year expired! These pills are usually good for a couple years, so I'm quite disappointed. I will return the bottle and buy it elsewhere, but just be aware that (either by mistake or not) DAB Nutrition/Potential Dynamix has some old stock and poor quality control.

I really really really wanted to like this scanner. I received the unit on Friday and had planned on spending Saturday scanning in all my documents and then relaxing on Sunday. I am sooooo disappointed with the quality of the scans and software when scanning in documents like car insurance or doctors statements that I am sending it back.

When the Endurance steamed south into the splitting ice pack of the Weddel Sea in the summer of 1914, she carried aboard the renowned British explorer Earnest Shackleton. The Endurance was specially designed and massively constructed by one of the world's finest shipyards, staffed with scientists and qualified volunteers and outfitted with meticulously tested equipment. Shackleton himself was an experienced polar veteran who had once come within a day's march of being the first to reach the south pole. But in spite of careful planning, the Endurance was doomed, and this expedition would be Shackleton's last Antarctic voyage. Unexpected cold weather froze the ship solidly into the ice, and 7 months later, the mounting pressure of millions of tons of ice crushed the three-foot wooden hull. The Endurance sank into the black water, and left the 30 exhausted men marooned on the treacherous melting ice flows of the storm-churned antarctic sea. For six months the poorly-equipped castaways would struggle under inconceivable hardship until the drifting ice broke up enough for Shackleton to lead his expedition in three open lifeboats through freezing open water to a lifeless bit of rock called Elephant Island. With 5 companions aboard the remaining battered lifeboat, Shackleton left his crew and stuck out across the open ocean in a desperate attempt to reach a remote whaling station to obtain help. His faithful men would remain behind to weather the winter storms sleeping under the upended wreckage of a lifeboat -- their lives dangling by the frail promise that he would someday return. Alfred Lancing is an experienced journalist whose detailed research combines with direct and perfectly-paced prose and a handful of the expedition's original photographs. It is a tale of leadership, unflagging courage, and determination in the face of impossible odds. But maybe the real definition of heroism is to be undaunted by the impossible. After sixteen days covering 900 miles of water in an amazing feat of open boat navigation, Shackleton struck land at South Georgia Island -- and after a three-day sleepless march over the 10,000 foot mountains in the huge island's interior, Shackleton and his remaining companions finally stumbled into a remote whaling outpost. And 450 days after being shipwrecked, after 5 attempts in three different ships, Shackleton managed to return to Elephant island to rescue his 22 remaining crew members in a tugboat borrowed from the Chilean government -- finally delivering all 29 of his men without the loss of a single life -- and making Endurance one of the most inspiring stories of human survival every written.

Much to be commended for, but 'leaps of logic', unproven speculations/allegations, and foot notes that make any followup extremely difficult, leads to the 3 stars. Nevertheless, much of what King says stacks up with related materials I've read.

I bought this for my Chinese crested dog who has bad skin. I read a bunch of reviews saying that it worked for other people's dogs.

I have had these now for 6 weeks wearing them daily. I wear these anytime I exercise (cycling, walking) or out and about for any reason. Another, cheaper brand is a backup (after 8 hours they do shut down) but those are not nearly as good in sound or staying in the ears as these. So I am likely going to get another pair of this brand. So here are some things that I don't like but are not outweighed by what I do like:
