Should have bought them 15 years ago.

I finally connected the monster cable into the amp the easy way after 15 years. They work well, are easy to attach, and fit great. Be careful with the amount of wire you strip - about 3/8" works great. Less and contact is iffy. More and they don't screw down tight. All in all a good Idea.

Not worth the money - and not a good idea.

Per the Comcast cable install tech (with a dozen years of experience) gold connectors actually cause line interference. It's barely noticeable with basic or basic digital but if you have the X1 where everything depends upon seamless signal transfer it will cause problems. Good to know - even if after the fact. It witnessed the difference as he repaired the system - interesting.

Nice Minimalistic Media Center

Pros - East to assemble. Good Quality, Spares in the set.
Cons - Can't adjust the shelves, Tight cable management.
Measure your components before you buy this. It sits under my 65" 4K TV that is wall mounted. My full size stereo amplifier fits fine as foes my cable box (and a blue ray of you wanted. The Comcast Aries Modem just barely fits but it does. My Thermaltake mini-ITX game computer doesn't and needs to be on top. All told it's very good looking and is a substantial reduction in the footprint from what I had.

Pretty Cool - for a nightlight as well.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This works well and the sound is good enough for my 2nd Grader. It's a good clock radio / radio / nightlight for him. I'd get a little nicer sound for myself or a teen looking for good fidelity but it's still cool to watch the colors change.

The Outlaw Josey Wales originally appeared on DVD in 1999, in a stripped-down edition from a film-to-video transfer dating from the mid-'90s, without any special features to speak of. In 2001, a new edition appeared without much fanfare as part of Warner Home Video's "Clint Eastwood Collection." The newer release is definitive, built on a sharper, brighter, and more detailed transfer (in the movie's widescreen 2.35-to-1 aspect ratio) of the movie, with much truer color; the older disc had a widescreen transfer with some problems in color tone and fuzziness in the finer details, which are all solved here. The advantages will be immediately apparent to anyone with a monitor bigger than 20 inches, and the bigger the better. Additionally, the disc includes a wealth of information and support materials that will please fans of Eastwood and this picture. The most basic component is the onscreen printed text explaining how the original story -- of which 75 copies had been printed, through a small publisher -- made its way unsolicited to Eastwood, and ultimately into production; and some aspects of the casting are covered, though one wishes that there had been more attention paid to the non-Native American players, fascinating though the latter are onscreen. The visual supplements, in addition to a new introductory monologue by Eastwood talking about the movie, also include the seven-minute featurette "Eastwood in Action," a 1976 promotional film; and "Hell Hath No Fury: The Making of The Outlaw Josey Wales," a much more ambitious 30-minute documentary from 1999, telling of the movie's history and production. It's a little too self-congratulatory in tone at times, but it also answers a lot of questions (as well as repeating some material) from the text panels, and it's great to see the surviving cast members talk appreciatively of their work and that of departed performers such as Chief Dan George; and Eastwood has some fun at the end of the short. The DVD goes to the simple, straightforward menu automatically on start-up, and the menus go to two easy-to-access layers of selection, including the language choices (English, French) and subtitles, and the special features. The 135-minute movie has been broken into 35 well-positioned chapters. The under-twenty-dollars price is also very attractive, especially given the extras that have been added.

Excellent Old Eastwood Western

This is one of Clint Eastwood's best when he was still in his prime. It's gritty, tough, and tells a story. It was a great buy as well so I added it to my collection in a heartbeat.

Nothing replaces the original - but...

This one comes close. It's not as good as the first three movies but it goes back to story telling and gets away from the dreary (and sometimes dismal) dialogue of the second set of movies (episodes 1 - 3). DVD, Blue Ray, and Digital copy add great value and versatility.

Good Value for 3 Movies
on May 2, 2016
Posted by: Carguy1969
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first one is the best but it is great to have all three for a really good price. You have to like the Genre of course - as well as put up with the usual predicable action plot and dialogue. Otherwise they're fun escapist movies.

These XL cartridges are a small business dream since you have cheaper-than-laser print costs with great color and resolution. The better the paper the better the result. No reason to buy standard life unless it's just a home printer. I burn through 2 sets of these a year and it's a huge savings to have this much life to the cartridge.

This ground loop isolator integrates into the OEM system of your vehicle to eliminate ground loops for quality audio reproduction.
 

Does this device need power? I can't see the specs to see the power voltage and how to connect.

There's no external power source. It connects in-line and has a filter loop inside that gets rid of the ground loop. It's old school and works great. When you're sound source and your amplifier are separate but on the same power connection you can get ground loops through analog connections without having a bad ground. This fixes it.

DeLonghi EC155 Pump Espresso Maker: Make quality espresso beverages, such as cappuccinos and lattes, at home with this espresso maker, which includes a jet frother to heat and froth milk.
 

Does this come with a jug for steaming milk, or do I need to buy that separately?

You'll need to buy one.

Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband: This heart rate and activity tracking wristband is built to capture your movements and health patterns all day long. Easily monitor your heart rate so you can maximize your workouts, learn about your sleep quality and monitor progress on your goals.
 

HR Fitbit

i submitted a question asking why My Fitbit needs to be charged daily, I already had it replaced.The answers submitted said to charge daily. This defeats the purpose of wearing daily. It stays fully charged for 12 hours and then says medium battery Then next twelve hours goes to low battery.
Really it's all about how much of the features you use and how often it syncs. I have almost all the features running except text and call notification and I get 2 days between charges. If you disable all the syncing and the resting heart rate monitor you will get 4+ days with it. Advertising 5 days battery life is puffery at it's best. If it sat on a manikin's wrist with no bluetooth on you might get to 5 days. One day seems pretty extreme though. I charge every two days whether it needs it or not because the battery use varies based upon activity.

Constructed from aluminum material, this Insignia™ NS-PCHD235 enclosure helps protect your 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive against damage, allowing safe external use. The plug-and-play design facilitates setup.
 

what is 2.5 inch?

is that the actual disc size? or the housing that contains the disc. my housing measures 2.75. not sure the disc size. the description on the housing doesnt state the size. as well doesnt state sata or ata. does state HDD.
It's the housing. It accepts standard SATA (serial ATA) 2.5" drives - either SSD or spinning. The enclosure is slightly wider than the drive so it slides in easily.

How many GB of storage does the device have?

This is an empty enclosure and you fit any standard 2.5" hard drive or SSD into it. It comes with the USB cable and the SATA adapter (in the front pannel) to connect the drive to your system. It's bus powered so you don't need any power cord.

My hard drive doesn't slide into the enclosure easily. Should I return my product?

I bought this product for my Macbook Pro hard drive, and I can't get the hard drive into the enclosure easily. I don't want to force it. The peg on the side of my hard drive runs into the rib on the inside of the enclosure, and it won't slide easily in. This is only the case on one side of the enclosure. Is my enclosure defective, and should I return it to the store?
Sometimes laptop drives still have the factory spacers on the sides to fit into the assembly. You should be able to unscrew them from your old drive (2 screws each side) and then it should fit. It will slide in easily with a small bit of open space on each side if it's correct.
