Safety 1st 2-Pack Window Blind Cord Wind-Ups are great for getting those cords from blinds out of the reach of little ones.  At first I had problems trying to install these correctly.  They kept popping off when I would pull the blinds open and shut.  Then one last attempt to get them to work properly, I figured it out and they work great!  They keep the cord out of reach ...

I was looking for something new, preferably light and floral, as I studied the perfume section at our local Walmart. I went through countless testers and sniffed countless prefume boxes that had those scratch & smell spots. I was not finding anything close. A sales lady came up and asked me if she could help; when I told her what I was looking for, she quickly pointed out Wind Song by Princ...

I've never been a big fan of wind chimes. Some are nice to hear, but most simply irritate me. Having my own was never something I would have considered. That is, until I worked in a store that sold the brand, "Music of the Spheres". I'd never  heard any other chimes that came close to the sound of these.Music of the Spheres calls itself the "Stradivarius of Windchime...

Gone With the Wind is, no doubt, one of America's best and most famous works of literature.Which is probably why I discovered the 1037-page beaut in a middle school library. What with all its rumored positive critical acclaim, plays, and movies, I managed to check it out to see what the fuss was all about. I had never read any reviews about it, so I opened the book with eyes virgin to every...

The MSI Wind is a late comer to the netbook market, but this delay made it even more delightful to use. It weighs a mere 2.3 pounds and carries a bright 10 inch LCD along with an energy efficient yet powerful 1.6 GHz Atom processor. In addition to that it comes with a 2.5" SATA hard drive with an 80GB capacity. The bright 10 inch screen along with the 1024 x 600 resolution makes internet b...

A co-worker recently found out that I love to read,  so one day he brought in about 6 novels from James Patterson.  Now, I usually will read pretty much anything, but never having read anything by James Patterson before, I was a bit leery since I knew about the kind of books he writes.  Also, after reading the synopsis of the book, I thought it would be more wierd than anything, ...

This crank and wind up flashlight comes in handy - but can take about a minute to crank for a half an hour. This is a blessing when in a place without batteries but I am still confused about how it works. Like many other things, it works great - and if it's not broken I guess it's better not to fix it!I like how it comes in many colors and this has become a favorite stocking stuffer, se...

I had bought some fireworks for this past fourth of July and I do not like using matches when lighting fireworks. That's a little too close to the fuse for me. I went to the camping section at Walmart looking for some torches that would make it easier and safer. I found the Ozark Trail Wind Resistant Torch for $3.99. I liked the wind resistant feature on the label because where I was going ...

This jacket was given to my son who is a New York Giants fan. The jacket came in a large size, made by Starter.  You will find  the name Starter name on the top back of the jacket and on the left lower sleeve. Giants is written in large letters  across the right sleeve, and again on the right upper front. Lets not forget the NFL  patch that's also on the left upper ...

I couldn't WAIT to see this film.  A Mighty Wind features the same cast as Best In Show, and Waiting for Guffman, which were two films I found to be completely hilarious.  What a disappointment I was in for. We actually bought this movie before watching it, because I was so sure I would love it.  It is about 60's era folk singers that get back on stage for a memorial conc...

Attending the Four Winds Casino was a great deal like going to the mega casinos in Las Vegas. There's a lot of action going on in the casino with 3000 slots and great table games, with good reasons to use the slot card. Not only is there the standard cash back that all casinos offer, but also a random jackpot that hits. There are three jackpots, the mini which has to be hit before it reache...

This is another in the line of mockumentaries from Christopher Guest (others include Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman). This stars many of the usual players in his films such as Parker Posey and Fred Willard. In this film, a prominent proponent of the folk music industry has died, and a concert of has been folk musicians is being planned in his honor. There is a group that still performs re...

A Mighty Wind is another one of Christopher Guest's mocumentaries, this time focusing on the world of folk music.  A highly respected member of the folk  music community passes away, and to honor his memory, many of the musicians that he'd produced and inspired come together to play in a benefit for the folk music pioneer.  In the movie are all the people that usually are...

Every year we go to the coast to relax and renew.  My favorite gift shop is Bojon's SurfShack. On several occasions I saw these shell wind chimes, but it wasn't until I bought this chime that I knew why most gift shops by the Gulf have them.The spiral shell wind chime is fashioned with a series of wire, heavy weight fishing line, and shells. My chime is mainly white with a spiral o...

 I was searching for a notebook for some time now,I was trying to find something decent in an affordable price,perhaps a used one,and some days ago I did.It was a revelation!I usually prefer well-known brands and MSI,the manufacturer of this notebook(Wind U100),or rather minibook,made me hesitate for a moment.I couldn't be more wrong!. Its 10" screen (1024x600 resolution...

This is a brilliant invention that takes the worry out of camping or power outages.This flashlight requires NO batteries...ever. It is an LED flashlight which means it has 3 ultra bright bluish white bulbs that last far longer than regular bulbs. You can push the big button on the top to adjust how much light you need and on max...boy is this thing BRIGHT. How it works is you crank this bl...

I happened to finish a series of articles and was allowed a day off, when I realized, I had no idea what to do with free time. I got on the Internet and saw that there was a free shuttle to the Four Winds Casino that was very close to my home. The hours were great and the different times to return allowed for flexibility. When I decided to go I had no idea what a great shuttle service that woul...

With spring around the corner I went looking for my favorite sandals. Oddly enough my favorite sandals are inexpensive and can be bought at Wal-Mart. The sandals I am talking about are Earth Spirit's.These sandals come in a variety of looks and colors. They usually have some kind of embellishments on them that goes along the top of your foot. Earth Spirit's sandals come in colors such a...

Creed is a band that I have enjoyed over the last ten years, and beyond. ‘Human Clay' was a 1999 release (Wind-Up Entertainment, Inc). ‘Are You ready', was a really ambitious swing at the top for these young brilliant players. Scott Stapp does vocals, Brian Marshal is bass, Scott Phillips rips the drums, and Mark Tremonti does guitar and vocals. This first song is a pleasant...

I received this as a gift from my aunt and uncle. They live in Kingston, NY, which is near Woodstock. When I look at the wood tag on the chimes, the brand name is enscribed there, and it reminds me of them even more. The chimes play Mozart's Piano Concerto #21 in C Major. The materials are: laminated bamboo with a cherry finish and five verdigris powder coated ...
