Comfortable Clothes


The pants are great...they look good and the quality is what you would expect from Levis. They were a little too long....I bought them for someone else as a gift and they were too long for a 34. For some reason these seemed longer than normal. Levi's Men's Cargo Pant, British Khaki, 34x32

The design of these pants are great, but beware, try them on in the store rather than ordering on-line, because you will be returning them. The waist on the earlier production run of these pants measured larger than what was on the tag. In other words, if you order a 36" waist, the measurement of the pants were a 38 1/2. Now, the later

production run, are running small. I ordered a 34x34, and when the pants arrived, I could not fit in to them. The length measured 32 1/2. I had to pay to return these back to the company in Okalahoma City, and they will credit my account in 2-4 weeks, the price I paid for the pants, but not my shipping cost. Quality control, is a thing of the past, and greed is a thing of the present.

The cargoes are great. Light, loose, and soft.



I ordered the waist size one smaller than usual, anticipating slightly baggier pants, and I was right. I'd advise you to do the same. Also, the pants are a bit longer than usual for the size, but I expected that.

I am constantly looking for pants that do not have a lot of seams that can cause problems when you are wheelchair bound. These pants are great. As with all my pants, I cut off the back pockets before I use them. This was easy with these pants and after that they are good to go. I wear them all the time, including work.

Anyone who's Tall and on the normal/skinnier side of things knows how incredibly frustrating it can be to find clothes. Most stores only carry up to 34W x 36L if you're lucky, and Big & Tall stores usually start their sizes at XL and go on up.



Personally, I'm a Large-Tall with 34W x 38L pant-size. Pants that size, beyond straight khakis or Docker-style, are almost impossible to find, online or elsewhere. I've only found a few companies who make them, much less retailers who sell them - and here I think I've found my gem.



I'm a big fan of cargo pants. I go to college and ride there on my bike. Pocket space is a premium when you have loads of books, calculators, dry-erase markers, pens, pencils, etc. Finding cargo-style 38L pants is even harder than regular jeans (for those who are 34W x 38L and want jeans, I was able to find some at Buckle - for sixty-dollars, granted).



Rest assured, these pants seem to fit the bill with what I was looking for. The fabric itself isn't as thick as Carhartt's pants, and I'll have to see how these hold up over time, but so far the quality seems to be there. The cargo pockets and back pockets use metal buttons, all the seams are sewn well and don't show any obvious signs of being low-quality, the pocket lining has that satin-y feel, and overall construction seems to be up to the higher-end Levi snuff.



The pants are a little wider in the waist length, as others have said, to sit with contemporary styles. I ordered a 34W and it feels closer to a 35W, which is just fine with me since I have a nice belt to hold them up.



Most importantly, the length seems to be correct! Maybe even a little more given contemporary styles again, but it's an utter relief to be able to take a seat in-class or on a bus and not have 6" of ankle showing.



I have yet to order other colors besides the Khaki since they weren't on sale, but the color itself is pretty close to what you think of as khaki. They're pretty much tan.



If you're in the minority of us who are Tall but NOT BIG - give these pants a try. I'm sure they'll work well if you're B&T, but I'm glad Levi makes these things. When the prices come down again, I'm jumping on a few pairs.'

Good Family Movie - good family movie, family


This seems to be a real love it or hate it movie. To everyone who hasn't weighed in, let me give you a few words of advice. If you're looking for a deep plot, a profound message, or award-winning characterization--don't bother because it's not here. However, if you're looking for a silly, shiny popcorn flick that you can spend a little time laughing at and you're willing to let go of any lurking high standards enough to enjoy it, then you're in the right place. Also, as I believe other reviewers have mentioned, this is a kid-targeted and kid-friendly film. Zoom - Academy for Superheroes

No, this won't win any academy awards. Yes, the special effects like the 6-year-old lifting 2-ton weights are a bit cheesy and you can tell they are made out of plastic. But this movie targets pre-teen kids and isn't supposed to be highly sophisticated. Show it to some kids between the ages of 5 and 13 and see what they think - that's the demographic here. My guess? They'll love it. And if your kids are teens but haven't hit that "everything is stupid" stage, they'll probably like it too.



THE PLOT:

Tim Allen plays a grown-up and burned-out superhero named Zoom who can run real fast (think of "Dash" in the animated movie "The Incredibles"). As a child, Zoom was taken to a special academy (Area 52 in Nevada...more secret than Area 51) where he, his brother, and other kids with superhero powers are supposed to develop themselves. While there, the government irradiates the kids to enhance their powers, something goes wrong, and Zoom's brother (Concussion) turns into an evil arch-nemesis where he is stuck in some kind of time warp. Fast-forward 30 years. Concussion is coming out of his time-warp to wreak havoc. The army is preparing for his return and has recruited a batch of new superhero kids to battle him, and they've forcibly enlisted Allen (Zoom) to train the kids. He's burned out and bitter about the same army that wrecked his life and his brother's life. The movie charts his redemption as he slowly forms the new kids into a team that treats one another like a family, helping Zoom find his calling once again.



My pre-teen son picked this off the Blockbuster shelf because he'd seen a commercial for it. I figured, what the heck, it's rated PG, let's take a chance on it. So, we sat down that night with people from each of three generations: me (I'm 45), my son (he's 11), and his grandmother (she's 69). We all enjoyed it.



THE GOOD:

1) Wholesome message - The kids feel like outcasts because of their powers and gradually learn to support one another. There isn't the usual petty bickering like amongst siblings. They get along and take care of one another.



2) Redemption - Zoom goes from a burned-out cynic to a genuinely caring father figure and role model by the end of the movie. He redeems his long-lost brother (Concussion) as well.



3) Language - There's none of the usual potty mouth jokes and innuendoes. This is a big deal for me. I love many of the newer animated movies, like Shrek, but it as though the producers want to be certain that the adults watching the movie have humor directed at them, so they push the envelope with jokes they hope will go over the kids' heads but hit the adults. Newsflash: if I want adult humor, I'll rent it. The Incredibles was a great example of a movie that appealed to all ages without having to push the envelope. Zoom was another great example.



4) Normal Kids - It didn't feature "perfect" kids as one had a speech impediment, one was overweight, and one was moody and picked on by the cool kids at school. It was nice to see "regular" kids cast in this movie instead of just the popular, beautiful images of perfect hair, perfect teeth, and popularity that the Disney Channel usually gives us with kids like Jamie Lynn Spears and Hillary Duff.



THE BAD:

There really wasn't anything I didn't like about the movie, but we happened to watch it while we were eating pizza and there are a few places where it gets a bit gross: one involving flatulance and one involving mucous. Consider yourself warned - it doesn't mix well with food.



THE UGLY:

Uh, none to speak of. Tim Allen seems a bit obsessed with Courtney Cox's little green dress. No ugliness there, I can assure you.





THE ACTORS:

In addition to Allen, there are some other actors that adults will enjoy here. Courtney Cox (Friends) plays a dweeby and ultra-clumsy scientist who has a crush on Zoom. Chevy Chase of Saturday Night Live fame plays the aging nobel-prize-winning director of Area 52. His makeup is hysterical and he dresses in fashions from the 1970s. Rip Torn plays the gruff army general who views the kids as collateral weapons to be used, not human beings of value. Allen is like a one-man arsenal of funny one-liners and quips and is constantly peppering Torn's and Chase's characters with ascerbic wit. He's a quintessential Smart Alec in this movie.



THE BOTTOM LINE:

But all in all, it was a truly fun movie. Kids will like the special effects and the comic-book plot and won't see the cheesy-ness: they'll think it is cool - the top-secret installation, the superhero costumes, the training, and the unique superpowers each person has. Adults will like the wholesomeness of the message and the absence of violence and language.



Buy it? I dunno. We rented it. My suggestion: rent it first and if you like it, get it for your library. It's the type of movie kids will want to watch several times, while adults will probably find that once is sufficient. - Comedy - Family Film - Good Family Movie - Family'

Liquid Ink Highlighters - liquid ink highlighters


The first time I bought liquid highlighters I was in college and was afraid to spend my money on them, but took a chance. I LOVED them! They were uni-Blazers by EF and, unfortunately, they aren't made any more (not that I can find anyway). I bought them in 1994 and still use them now in 2010! The ink never dried out. Admittedly, I didn't use them consistently all those years, but I did use them quite a bit when I did. The point is--just because it's a liquid highlighter doesn't mean it has to dry out or run out quickly! ... unlike these Sharpie Accents. I bought this pack because I really liked the other liquid ones and thought these looked nice. Unfortunately, I've been using the yellow one for only two weeks and the ink is half gone!! I thought perhaps the other reviewers were leaving the caps off while they read, but no, I faithfully put the cap back on immediately each time.



The other thing I really, really dislike about these is that when I use an index card to keep my underlining straight and then move the index card down a line it smears the ink! No other highlighters I've ever used have done this. This doesn't dry as fast as others do. It seems these put too much ink on the page, even thought they don't bleed through much--they do a little. I tried the other colors and they all behaved the same way.



Also, the cap is really hard to get on and off. There is a little plastic area in the cap that uses a spring to create a seal on the top of the marker. I'm guessing it's to keep it from drying out. But it makes it hard to get on and off, which makes it quite annoying to put the cap back on every time you use it.



These highlighters are very bright. You probably won't overlook a highlighted portion of text on a page. Sometimes, I feel it is too bright, but that's just a personal preference. If you like a very bright marker and don't mind it running out really quickly, these might be ok for you. They do look nice and don't feel too bad in the hand--I'm pretty picky that way.



So, I'm going to try another brand and give these to my daughter to play with till they finish running out. Sharpie Accent Liquid Pen-Style Highlighters, 5 Colored Highlighters(24575PP)

I love these! I don't know if they last longer or shorter than regular highlighters and don't care. I'm just happy they don't bleed through to the other side of the page. Very bright and easy to control how much space you want the highlighter to cover.

If you are paying sticker for these, they are an expensive set of highlighters. That said, they're also some of the best highlighters you can buy.



The amount of fluid in the pen is substantially less than it could potentially hold. I'd imagine ink is cheap, so the only reason for this is to reduce the lifespan of the product forcing you to buy more.



On the plus side, the pen highlights well, and consistently. The visible fluid reservoir allows you to see how much (or little) life the pen has left.



I'd purchase again, especially if on sale.

There's not too much else to say. I bought these on sale, and probably wouldn't pay full price for them. In my opinion, they were okay for less than a buck but I'd stick with non-liquid ones if I were repurchasing. These ones can definitely bleed a bit, and I felt that the blue was really too dark to even highlight things with.

These are the ONLY highlighters that I use. Sharpie has always been a quality brand and these highlighters are just a testimony of that. Each of the colors work well for me without being TOO bright or too heavy. I especially enjoy the clear tube because you can watch the ink level and it is easy to see which color you need. However, I do wish that the liquid ink was a bit more controlled and consistent. At times, even at the same level of pressure, the ink will flow a bit heavy. This does not happen often, in fact, it is pretty rare but, it still happens. With that being said, these highlighters, as usual, are a great buy.

These highlighters are on the more high end side I guess. I'd prefer to use the normal sharpie highlighters (I've always used those) but I saw these on sale for 75 cents and thought, "Why not?" My only issues with is that there's too much ink used sometimes - they take longer to dry than normal highlighters and some colors are too dark to use (like the blue).

I use a lot of highlighters, I even have different uses for different colors and shades. About 3 years ago I came across these highlighters in a retail store and didn't purchase them as they were more then I typically pay for highlighters and my normal highlighters worked fine. One week I decided to "splurge" and spend the extra 60 cents (or however much it was). I have found these to be far better then any other type of highlighter that I have tried. These work much better in every way. The lids do fit on tight, but A) I like that of any pen/marker and B) if they didn't and the cap came off in your pocket, you would probably need to replace that piece of clothing.

For the price I spent on the highlighter, I don't feel too horrible about purchasing. But it would definitely not be worth retail price.



Pros:

- Depending on what you prefer, might consider this a con. The cap capped on very tightly. Need to use a bit of strength to open and close the cap. I liked this because it prevents leakage. And you know for sure that you capped your highlighter.

- Didn't smudge.

- The chisel tip wasn't too large that it covered two lines of text when I only needed to highlight one line.



Cons:

- Runs out very quickly. I used one highlighter pen for two weeks of light-moderate highlighting, and it's gone already.

- The color that you see in the photograph of the highlighting liquid is all you get. The previous poster was accurate in the description. You literally get only an inch of highlighting liquid. The ink does not extend into the black label. (Reason for the highlighter running out so quickly) - Liquid Ink Highlighters'

Fishing Equipment - compact, fishing equipment


I recently sailed a 40 ft catamaran around the Florida Keys and wanted to do some occasional fishing.



We took the dinghy out to the #18 red marker just south of the Boca Grande channel, tied off, chummed with some shrimp and began fishing. We had stripped off the flimsy looking mono that came with the reels and replaced with 8.b test Spider mono. We used a swivel to some 30lb test leader and no weight. We baited with whole shrimp hooked from the tail up through the body.



Within 10 minutes we caught and landed 3 yellowtail jacks that were easily 8 to 10 lbs each. The fight was excellent with the fish peeling off drag from time to time. The rod was bent almost double as we turned the fish and wound down. Pretty good stuff for a telescopic device. The drag worked perfectly and was smooth. It was a good 5 minute fight as we gained back line only to lose it again with with furious runs by the jack. .....very fun..... With the last fish a 7 ft. shark actually chased the hooked fish up to the inflatable dinghy and that's when we felt it was time to go.....



This maybe isn't a rod to win a bass tourny with..... but for something to throw into your suitcase and take on vacation..... it's pretty good. Definitely switch out the line with your own and you are good to go. Shakespeare Medium Action Travel Mate Telescopic Kit Combo (6-Feet 6-Inch)

I bought this rod and reel to give to my grandson for our first fishing trip together. It turned out to be more then I expected and the case it comes in is just so practial alowing it to hold the rod,reel along with a few split shots,hooks,some clips,a lure or two.If need be It would also fit a little live bait in a plastic bag inside the carrying case. Making it easy to walk to your fishing spot carrying everything in the case. The case has a handle and measures about 16"x10" stepped shape and weighs in at (2 lbs.6 oz Thats case rod and reel)

Telescopic rod has pros and cons of any telescopic rod - will collapse by itself if you leave joints TAD loose, and might be difficult to collapse if you pull out sections very tight (especially on sea).



Reel: I used it on sea for fishing (trolling) from a kayak, and after 3 weeks all the screws got rusty. It didn't stop working, but the steel is not quite of outdoor quality - will corrode in fresh water too, only slower.



Overall the combo is usable, I don't complain, especially since got an open-box item for $18 - can't beat the price!

I got this rod for my husband for Father's Day since we are going to stay at a cabin. He loves it! It's surprising how compact it is and how long it gets. It seems sturdy too. The only thing was that we were sent a BLUE reel. Honestly, I prefer the blue so it was a nice surprise (our son's pole is blue and he loves that they match)... but I imagine some people might expect and prefer the red so I thought it was worth mentioning. I'd still recommend it! It's a very handsome blue.

I bought this Shakespeare kit because I wanted to be able to fish when traveling. This rig is light weight, compact and has storage compartments for lures,spinners etc. Best of all the rod is telescopic and gives you medium action. Good price and good service. They now call me "Gone Fish-in".

I bought this because I'm in the Navy and I move around a lot, so I needed something compact, yet still of good value.



It comes nicely packaged in a kit box. I found it surprising how small the box is, you wouldn't suspect a 6'6" pole out of the rod.



The quality of the rod seems sturdy and of decent quality. It's lightweight and I don't think you'd have to worry about rough handling. My boyfriend man handles anything he touches and my rod was still fine :-) yay!



I haven't used it yet since I'm out at sea, but once I get back to land, you betcha I'll be out on the water.

this is the most sturdy fishing rod i have ever used. this ro is also so portable you can fit it into a tackle box. the reel is very smooth to. i would recomend this for eneyone who whants a sturdy rod.

I have not had a chance to use the pole yet, I hope to soon and after I do I will update this post. First I would like to mention the pole looks and feels great. It seems to be of good construction. The carrying case is nice but I have one complaint ... the reel needs to be removed before placing it in the case. It think this was a bad decision just because it gets annoying to remove the reel to store it in the case. This is a small complaint but lets see how the rod performs ... stay tuned!

Sony Large Alarm Clocks - sony alarm clock radio, clock radio


My trusty old Sony alarm clock's radio selectivity was getting on my nerves, and the cheap General Electric model I chose to replace it did not measure up. Fortunately, this new Sony easily surpasses both its older brand-mate as well as the ergonomically-botched offering from GE. Advantages include precise, dial-adjustable display brightness, better radio reception and selectivity, and simple controls for sleepyheads to understand and operate. Audio is clear but undistinguished--about what one would expect from a clock radio. Nevertheless, for such a low price that is forgiveable. Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock Radio

Since most of the other reviewers have been gushing over this alarm clock, I thought I'd post with a few annoyances:



- This thing has two alarms, but you can't have both of them set to buzzer. One has to be set to radio and the other to buzzer. This is aggrevating.

- Like almost every other alarm clock in existence, the button to turn off the alarm is hard to find, while the snooze button is the size of Jupiter. If you enlarge the image of the clock on this site, you'll see three buttons on the lower right below the display. The one in the MIDDLE is the one that turns off the alarm. Yeah, good luck finding that button in the dark at 6:30am. I guess the engineers who build these things don't actually USE alarm clocks, or else they wouldn't do STUPID things like this.

- Having the dimmer as a dial rather than a switch means you have much more control over brightness. However, the little indicator that lights up when you set the alarm is brigther than the time display itself. So while you may be able to get the display just right, the alarm indicator will be just a tad brighter than you want it. It's not a huge problem, but just another minor gripe.

- The snooze on mine goes off every 7 minutes when pressed. (Why 7? I have no idea.) I have lost the manual and can't verify this (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong), but I haven't found any way to reprogram this. On my older alarm clock (which, unfortunately, had no dimmer switch), I could set it to 5 minutes, or whatever I wanted.



Sad to say, but I think this is the best alarm clock I've seen so far. My search for a good alarm clock doesn't suck will go on ...

The first one we ordered gained between 30 to 45 minutes a day--we returned it and have a replacement that runs about 20 minutes ahead each day--we're about to give up and send that one back, too....It's a great looking clock for our needs--large numbers, small enough not to clog the bedside table....but it simply can't keep accurate time.

This is the fourth alarm clock I have tried in the last year, and this one is a keeper! I wanted a dual alarm that I could set very quiet since I am a light sleeper. I was shocked that two brand new alarm clocks I bought simply did not work right. I would set the alarm and it would not go off. This one works every time.



The dimmer on the display is great. I had one alarm clock that I had to drape with a cloth because it was so bright. That pretty much defeats the purpose. There's no need for a drop cloth with this clock.



The one little complaint that I have is that the dual alarm has one alarm on music and one alarm on buzzer. You can not have two different alarm settings that both play music.



This isn't as bad as I thought, though, because the alarm time is very easy to chage, yet you can't accidentally change it by bumping into it.



The radio reception is even good.

I brought this clock considering the lengendary sony trademark. But it turned out to be a complete disappointment. Its gaining hours and I am about to return in today. Well,the display is not so bright. If you are looking for a good bedside alarm clock with radio, please don't go for this one.

I'm extremely near-sighted, so I needed a clock with an extra-large display. After searching through dozens of listings, I finally settled on this one. Overall, I'm very happy with it.



First, the good:

- The adjustable dimmer dial is very nice to have, since most digital clocks have only a toggle for "Dim" and "Bright" (and "Dim" usually is still far too bright). With the dial on this clock, you can go from full brightness to near-invisibility.

- The controls to set the time are excellent; you can adjust the time fast-forward, slow-forward, and fast-reverse. So changing your alarm time from, say, 8:00AM to 7:45AM is very easy.

- The radio reception is fine for me, and the sound quality quite good for a clock-radio. The volume, of course, can be soft for a gentle wakeup, or ear-piercingly loud.

- The clock can display seconds (press and hold the SNOOZE button) if you need it.

- The green glow of the numbers seems much less harsh at night than a typical red LED.

- The numbers are fairly large.

- The clock is sturdy, with a wide base (to prevent being knocked over when you thrash at it to turn off the alarm) and good, solid-feeling controls. It feels well-built.

- The dual-alarm system works well for me - gentle radio to start with, harsh buzzer later if I still refuse to get up.



A few things I don't like so much:

- I wish the numeric display was larger - even at 1.6 inches, it's still a little too small for the very nearsighted to see without squinting. 2-inch-high numbers would have been better.

- The brightness of the individual numbers (and LED components) may vary as the numbers change. This is a bit odd, but really pretty minor.

- The controls take a bit of getting used to. And as mentioned, the "Alarm Off" button is in the middle of a panel of 3 buttons which is difficult to find by feeling, especially in the groggy morning hours. (The SNOOZE on top of the radio is very easy to hit, of course)



All in all, though, a very nice clock. - Clock Radio - Alarm Clock - Sony Large Alarm Clocks - Sony Alarm Clock Radio'

Internet Media Tablet - internet media tablet, android


Right, so yes, this was advertised as an iRobot, but what was in fact delivered was an Epad/Flytouch. Not really a big deal, since I was really just looking for a 7" Android (1.6 or higher) tablet. And cheap. Which this is. Please see the first review for the following link:



http://www.amazon.com/Screen-Google-Android-Tablet-camera/dp/B003XGNOY2/ref=pd_sim_pc_3



If you look around the web, it will be easy to find a HUGE fanbase that will be only too willing to help you identify the exact model/version of your Android tablet. However, buying any of these tablets is not for the faint of heart. You WILL have to do some messing about to get it to work the way you want, and you WILL be making some compromises. But that's why this thing is so cheap. Right? If you want easy, whether it is Andoid or iOS, you'll be spending four times more on your tablet, minimum.



With the help of the web I was able to install a new "improved" version of the OS (flash the ROM) on this tablet, and that has made the tablet so much more functional. Flashing a ROM is perfectly easy, and with the fanbase I mentioned earlier, you will be able to get this tablet working the way you want in very little time.



I now can use it to:



Listen to music (downloaded from my home server)



Watch YouTube videos, and other web videos



Read my Kindle books



Read my Nook books



Read my Aldiko books



Read my .pdf books (MS certs)



Play games (ok, don't look for high-end graphics)



Check my email



Login to the facebook app



Read Huffington Post, BBC, and AP mobile news



Synch with my Google calendar



And...ok you get the idea.



This is a great value tablet, but it does take some effort and is not as functional out of the box as the iPad. Big surprise, there.



Try it out. You might love it. Or wait for the holiday season and buy into a cell contract for a "nice" tablet.



***UPDATE***

11/21/2010

There are now a number of good Android tablets out there with later versions of Android (ex., Augen Gentouch). If you have a recent Android phone and a little experience with the apps, I would suggest getting a tablet with Android 2.0 or higher. The tablet will run a larger percentage of Android apps without much fiddling. To date there are VERY few tablets that have Android Market out of the box, so there will continue to be a need to do some research to get Market working. Good luck!



***UPDATE***

11/29/2010



I include a link for a suggested ROM for the Gome Flytouch or ePad. DISCLAIMER - this assumes your know your model is either of those two versions of this tablet. I do not know what the seller listed here is currently selling. As always, please create an account at the site I provide and have the experts there help you identify your tablet BEFORE flashing the ROM. Here you go (copy and paste into your browser address bar):

Also, there is a wiki I mention in the comments, below:



[link removed] 7" iRobot APad iPed Epad Google Android Tablet WIFI Touch Screen

So I have borrowed one of these from a coworker. Lately I get a bit more than 1 hour of battery life from it. Alternatively, instead of 'home', 'menu', and 'back' buttons like a proper Android device, it just has one button that sometimes seems to act as 'back' and sometimes seems to act as 'home'. There is a 'menu' button in the on-screen UI, but full screen apps sometimes hide it. Every time I try, I can't get any video to play correctly; it shows a fraction of a second of animation, then the video freezes while the audio keeps playing.



Droid devices should have more battery life and proper buttons. Really if it did, it would at least be a good ebook reader, but it's not even that. Obviously, the CPU is not that much faster than the Eken m001 (also available on Amazon), and that unit does have buttons and decent battery life. If you don't need to play videos and want the proper buttons, why not get the Eken instead?



Definitely I would recommend a different tablet, as well as searching google for forums about these devices.

First lets start with the HORRIBLE customer service! i paid for EXPEDITED shipping and we got the regular 3-5 days!! That would have been okay if the product description/picture was the same as the product they sent me!! THIS IS NOT THE PRODUCT IN THE PICTURE!!! IT IS A "VARIATION" OF THE iROBOT BUT IT IS NOT THE REAL THING!! The "2" USB ports, and the "Ethernet" plug is EXTERNAL! and its not mini USB it REGULAR sized USB! IT COMES WITH NO CORDS! the only cord it came with was the charger. If you YouTube the REAL aPad you see that this picture looks like the real thing but it is NO WHERE NEAR THE REAL THING!! Please don't give these people your hard earned money cause you upset with this cheap "apad"! It also came with scratches on the screen!!!! the screen feels cheap and it moves! its just HORRIBLE! I am going to return this for the REAL iRobot! - Internet Media Tablet - Touch - Android - Tablet'

Underwire Support - lingerie, bras


I recently recieved my bra and couldn't wait to try it on. I have been a Victorias Secret girl for a long time but with a 34DD cup I seem to wear the straps down as they never have enough support. This bra is everything I have been missing. It is so supportive and the straps don't over stretch with the weight of my bust or cut into my shoulders. The band fits nice and snug without cutting into my skin. You can not see the bra lines under your clothes either. It is pretty, sexy, comfortable and affordable. What more could you ask for in a bra? I'd give it 6 stars if I could!!! "MYCHELLE" Go2 Bra by Lipo in a Box Taupe 36D

This bra is a fabulous everyday bra. It is so comfortable you forget you have it on. It makes you look good in your clothes, you can wear it with everything because it is seamless. VERY, very comfortable and pretty. LOVE this bra!

I needed to find a bra that had the following requirements



1) Very supportive

This product met all of my expectations. I am very pleased as I am a picky customer - not only do I want value but I like a good price! Thanks Amazon for offering this item.

very comfortable. Stretchy soft cups. I ordered the Rachel and it fit and looked good but I could tell it might get uncomfortable because of the non-stretchy cups.



It's also pretty. But I have one complaint. Why do none of these bras come in nude? I would order 2 if it came in nude. I've been wearing a bra long enough to realize you only need nude and black. Crazy colors and too much lace bras never get worn (under clothes). But if you want to call this a Go 2 bra, you need nude. The taupe is better than ivory under a light shirt but under white? Youre out of luck!



Bottom Line: LOVE THIS BRA, DON'T LIKE THE COLOR CHOICES!

Fabric is great: double-layered, stretchy, fits like a glove. But the straps are poorly constructed: too thin, so they cut in over time, & not padded or soft. But the real problem is that the tip of the outer wires is not cushioned & presses through the underwire casing, so by the end of the day, it's digging in. If those two details were solved, this would be a great bra. Also, it does provide a round, slightly flattened, minimizing effect.

I love this bra. Ordered the first one from another site and, after wearing a couple of days, ordered a second one. Unfortunately, it was no longer being stocked so I was thrilled when I found it on Amazon. It has good coverage on the sides, is comfortable, is supportive, and looks sexy. Love, love, love it.

Expected a little more structure based on the description. This is definitely very comfortable; however, I should have ordered a cup size smaller. It seems to have a bit too much stretch to be supportive. I will use it for kicking around the house. - Go2 Bra - Bras - Go2 Bras - Lingerie'
