Tully's Hawaiian Blend K-cups are OK...
on February 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
but I still prefer Starbucks House blend. For a Hawaiian coffee, I found Tully's a little weaker than I expected. FYI - Coffee taste and strength preferences are very personal - try them all and you're bound to find a favorite.

With lifetime map updates and Garmin Real Directions, this Garmin nüvi 57LM 010-01400-01 GPS offers reliable, thorough directions, so you can easily reach your destination.
Posted by: Thegrump
from Baltimore, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Garmin - NUVI 57LM acquires satellite information much faster than my old GPS - usually less than 20 seconds. I have not experienced any routing anomalies yet (compared to my Droid phone GPS, which sent me into an infinite circle once - I realized it when I saw the same dog walker three times). HOWEVER - the screen is not bright enough inside the car during full daylight, and is almost impossible to read in full daylight. This makes some features (like the display of which exit to take) useless during full daylight (this is why I gave the Garmin NUVI 57LM 4 stars out of five). Also, my pet peeve with Garmin units is still present in the NUVI 57LM - mispronunciation of street names (like PUL-aski highway is pronounced PU-laski highway, etc). My Droid phone has a MUCH better speech program than Garmin, and usually pronounces the street names correctly. Garmin has had years to upgrade their speech program, and has apparently done nothing. SUMMARY - aside from street name pronunciation and screen brightness, this Nuvi is a rock solid GPS that does a great job of getting you there - wherever "there" is. Well worth the money - especially when you get tired of your phone GPS providing crazy directions.

Excellect flashlights
on November 15, 2015
Posted by: Thegrump
from Baltimore, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
These flashlights have 6 LEDS in each flashlight. I was looking for some 9 LED flashlights, but I bought these on sale, and they work just as well as the 9 LED flashlights. At a little under 4 inches long, they fit nicely in your hand, they very lightweight, and put out a lot of light for a 3 AAA battery flashlight. Very handy for those annoying power outages after a thunderstorm. They have a flat bottom, so they can be easily aimed toward the ceiling - just one can dimly light an entire room. I haven't timed how long the battery lasts (the power usually comes back on first), so I cannot tell you how long the batteries will last. I DO know they lasted 5 hours during a long power outage. They are a cheap alternative to an over $10,000.00 whole house power backup generator.

Excellent Disney classic in blu-ray

Verified Purchase:Yes
The genie is back, and even better in Blu-ray high definition. An excellent memorial to the great, late Robin Williams - it's non stop action. One of Disney's best movies - ever.

This Keystone KSTAD50B dehumidifier removes up to 50 pints of water from the air per day to effectively reduce moisture and promote a comfortable environment. The removable dust filter allows for easy cleaning.
Posted by: Thegrump
from Baltimore, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This unit really pulls moisture out of the air quickly, especially in "Turbo" mode. However, I found that I have to limit its use. Why? Because the dehumidifier puts out a LOT of warm air. In a small bedroom, it can raise the temperature about 10 degrees after two hours of use. I don't know if this is normal for modern dehumidifiers or not. But I can't leave it on while sleeping - it raised my bedroom temperature to 84 degrees F after only a few hours.

This Insignia™ NS-CR2031 memory card reader lets you transfer digital photos and other media between various media cards (not included) and your compatible PC or Mac. The plug-and-play design ensures simple use.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Insignia - USB 2.0 SD/MMC/MS Memory Card Reader does exactly what it is supposed to do. I plugged into the USB port, and started uploading my files to a micro SD card immediately. No software to install - just plug it in. Simple. Easy. And that's the way I like it.
My only complaint is the 5 inch ( yes, I measured it ) USB cord, which doesn't allow for a lot of placement flexibility. But I can live with that. Photo uploaded with a quarter coin in the picture to show the size of the SD reader.

It does what it's supposed to do. It's just an adapter - there's not much that can go wrong.

BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter like you've never seen. Just ask the judges from E3 2011, where the Irrational Games title won more than 75 editorial awards, including Game Critics Award's Best of Show.Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond — one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with what IGN called "emotional ties (that) will continue to set the bar in gaming."

Great FPS game, lots of eye candy, a buddy system where your buddy (Elizabeth) can take care of herself in battle, and scrounges supplies, ammo, and health for you during battle. It has an emotionally engaging storyline. OTOH, the game path is very linear (only one path that you are forced to take), so it is not as much a game world as a game path. There is some exploration (open houses and storefronts), but not a lot. And (spoiler alert) - it is never a good thing to be a Bioshock protagonist, because they usually come to a bad end at the end of each game. Bioshock is not a game series for fans of happy endings, and "Infinite" is no exception. Ditto the two DLC games for Bioshock Infinite.
What's great about it: Great story
What's not so great: Linear game path

Make coffee, tea and other specialty hot beverages in under two minutes with this compact Keurig brewer. The portable design is good for small spaces, and this brewer has a single-cup reservoir that accommodates three serving-size options. The removable drip tray and cord storage make this Keurig brewer tidy to use and easy to store.
When are the Donut Coffee Shop K-cups going to be on sale again.
The K-cups occasionally go on sale, but no one knows when. Check the Best Buy "Deal of the Day" on their website every day. The deals reset at midnight Central Time, and last for only 24 hours (or until supplies run out).
That last bit is important - for the best selection, you need to shop the "Deals of the Day" when they are first posted (1AM Eastern, 12 Midnight Central, 11 PM Mountain, 10 PM Pacific). If you wait until 6 or 7 PM, your preferred K-cup may be out of stock, with only the more undesirable brands available for purchase. Pumpkin spice coffee ? Ewwwww !
