Razor V3 Battery
Got a new battery for my wifes cell phone off of amazon .com. Am very pleased with purchase, Brand new battery, two day arrival time and the price was perfect!

Worked perfectly
The battery worked like new and the phone has battery life like it was bought yesterday.

Lasted 6 days on 1 charge!
I can't believe that my phone stays charged for six days. What a great deal. I only turned on bluetooth when I needed it, otherwise, I believe it would have lasted only a few days.

Very good inexpensive battery
After two years, my phone's original battery would no longer hold a charge at all & we're not ready to upgrade, so I had to replace it. Obviously I didn't want to pay full retail price for a new one, so I started shopping online. I will admit I was hesitant to buy a battery that was TOO inexpensive, but after reading other reviews, decided it was well worth the risk at such a low price. This battery works great - I have had no problems with it whatsoever...great product! Thank you!

Original battery at a great price
This is the same battery that the phone came with. Works well and was available at a great price. The phone is like new again!

The best for curls!
I curse the Seattle salon that got me hooked on Icon Mesh and then stopped carrying it!

Mesh is absolutely the best product I've found for bringing order to my naturally curly hair. It has enough hold to keep the frizz down and bring excellent definition to my curls, but not so much that my hair looks weighed or crunchy at all! I also love that it works even though I don't use a blow dryer or diffuser to dry my hair.

When my salon stopped carrying Mesh, I actually stopped going to that salon because I was so mad. Since it's pricey buying this stuff online (shipping sucks,) I keep trying other products - both inexpensive stuff from the grocery store (like Herbal Essences), and pricier products such as Aveda. Honestly, I have not yet found anything that comes even close to making my hair look as good as Mesh, and I've tried maybe 10 different products in the last two years. I love-love-love this product!

indispensible
I have very curly hair. This is - hands down - the best product I have found for my hair. I highly recommend it.

The best!
This is the best cream/gel for curly hair I have found - anywhere. You only need a little bit too (about the size of a nickel for hair that hits my shoulders.) I have that hair you always see on adverts for "Ireland" -- lots of really curly brown/red hair. This is by far the best product I have found for definition and keeping the frizz down! I can't find it anywhere locally, so I am SO happy to see it here!

Just my type of humor, hilarious!
I hadn't heard of Steven Wright until I stumbled upon this cd. After listening to it the first time, I immediately listened to it again. Yes it was that good. I found myself catching some jokes the second time through, that I hadn't caught the first time.

Such a comic treat! (Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg's style)

Wright's flat voice, and his dry approach only add to his jokes. Some of the jokes you don't get off hand, but then they hit you a few seconds later. He had me busting a gut. This cd is filled with great one liners.

I'm very glad I stumbled upon this comic, and plan to listen to his other work.

Definitely give this person a listen. Comedy gold!

Steven Wright is right on
We bought "I Have a Pony" when it first came out many years ago and laughed ourselves silly. We've been fans of Steven Wright ever since, watching his rare TV appearances and still playing that record for friends when we need a good laugh. "I Still Have a Pony" is just as funny, and instead of hogging it to ourselves, this time we passed it on to some teenagers who hadn't heard of him before - they surely know him now. This is humor as it should be - no smut - just fun. A good investment in good humor.

I Sill Have a Poney
Steven Wright with his deadpan humor is my favorite comedian. He makes me laugh outloud which doesn't happen very often.

...but it's still Steven Wright
It may not quite have the same hallowed stature, humour, and pithy observations of his previous Pony 2 decades past, but it's still vintage Wright. And that's not wrong.

He's still a genius.
Steven Wright is a genius, and this is a great performance. I believe it's taken from the exact same performance as the When The Leaves Blow Away DVD.

Q cover
This cover is very good quality. However it is a bit too tight for Q300 grill. It's hard to get on and off grill.

Fits my Weber 320 perfectly
This cover is very heavy duty. I don't know why some of other reviews are saying it's a tight fit, because for me it's not. I have the Q320 though, but the height/width is supposed to be equal to the Q300 (at least that's what it says on Weber's website). Maybe they aren't putting the shelves down?

Anyway, this cover is perfect. It will protect your grill and it covers every part of it perfectly. It does not sag on the ground, nor is it baggy. It fits like a glove. Very good quality. I'd recommend this cover to anyone.

Impressive
One word describes the Weber Q320 **IMPRESSIVE! Quality, stability, preciseness of heat, and it is beautiful to look at to boot. The controls have a better feel than the Ducane that we replaced. We lost one small part, a spacer, when putting the handle on, called Customer Service, and they sent out the part, plus one extra, immediately at no charge. Unbelievable, really, no postage even. They are truly there to help with any tips and encourage a call anytime. I have never experienced a Customer Service Department like this. I recommend this grill absolutely.

Great Grill Cover for the Weber "Q"
This is a great custom grill cover for the Weber "Q" Model Gas Grill. The material is firm but flexible to slip on & off with ease. Mine is not tight fitting (as some reviews note) but, rather, has just a enough play to make putting it on no problem at all - - - and the top handle really makes it easy to pull off. No need for any draw string, as far as I'm concerned. Due to the fit, (and maybe more particularly the style, because the grill side trays do have to be down to slip on the cover), is just right to keep the grill covered, even with wind. I like it!

Good investment
The fit is a little snug, which is probably what you want, but it takes a little bit to maneuver the cover over the grile. Good quality. I have had it for a year and it still looks and feels brand new.

Welcome back
Its been almost 5 years since Gavin Degraw's first cd "Chariot." I remember being blown away by Gavin Degraw when i first heard his album. Over these past five years I have found myself coming back to Chariot every so often and wondering to myself when I'd be lucky enough to hear some more Gavin. Here it is...

"In love with a girl", the first single off of Gavin Degraw is an alright song in my opinion, along the lines of "I don't wanna be" from his first album. However, once again his best work comes out in the remainder of the album. Songs like "Untamed", "Young Love", "Cop Stop", "She holds a key", and "We belong together" are all amazing. Definitely a must buy for anyone who enjoyed Chariot and for those of you who still haven't heard of Gavin Degraw, prepare to be very impressed!

Gavin is back in full force 5 years later with more experiences to share though his brilliant songwriting and amazingly soulful voice. Can't wait to see him live!

ok songs
The songs all seem to sound the same. He has a good vooice but he needs to open up the range a little.

Gavin Shines on Sophomore Effort
After the release of Gavin DeGraw's 2003 debut album "Chariot," DeGraw burst onto the scene with several radio hits, perhaps none bigger than "I Don't Wanna Be" (a song that has been covered on American Idol countless times, as well as being the theme song for the popular CW show "One Tree Hill). While most artists try to capitalize on the success of their debut album by following it up quickly with another set, DeGraw took the road less traveled, focusing on the further promotion of his debut album (which he would also repackage with a disc of raw acoustic performances, titled "Chariot Stripped") through radio appearances and endless touring. After three years of non stop touring to promote the album, DeGraw took a well deserved break from the road to record this self titled offering. The result is a soulful blend of harmonic proportions mixed in with a solid assortment of ballads. The ablum plays out as such:

1. In Love With A Girl - 9/10
Perhaps the most catchy tune on the disc, DeGraw starts off the album with this uptempo Pop-Rock anthem that incorporates a rocking guitar riff with fast paced vocal arrangements.

2. Next To Me (Wait A Minute Sister) - 7/10
A solid uptempo tune that fits right in with DeGraw's previous works on "Chariot."

3. Cheated On Me - 7/10
Gavin slows the tempo down on this number as the mood of the song takes on an eerie undertone with searing guitar riffs and emotional lyrics.

4. I Have You To Thank - 10/10
One of Gavin's best tunes to date. Picking up the pace once again, this song discusses how it feels to find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. With solid lyrics and a bridge that builds to a resounding climax, DeGraw is at his best on this number.

5. Cop Stop - 9/10
An uptempo piano driven number that is both cleverly written and catchy.

6. Young Love - 10/10
The best song on the album. DeGraw is once again at his finest with this ballad that is chalk full of emotionally charged lyrics and beautifully done arrangements.

"Young love is sacrifice, young love is tough, young love is innocence, young love is us"..."Your eyes tell the lies, of the lines that you said. Now that I love you, whoa I wish we never met. Why wait? Woman I'm taking risks here that no one dares. And you're scared, scared of the bottom, afraid of the steps."

7. Medicate the Kids - 6/10
This song reminds me of Chariot's "Chemical Party," another tune that I didn't particularly care for. Feel free to skip over this one.

8. Relative - 7/10
A solid tune with a harder edge to it than typical Gavin.

9. She Holds A Key - 9/10
Gavin has yet to write a poorly done ballad, and this song is no exception. A solid piano arrangement and softly moving melodies make this a definite song to download.

10. Untamed - 7/10
A decent uptempo tune.

11. Let It Go - 8/10
A solid slow moving ballad that has a bit of a nostalgic vibe to it during the chorus.

12. We Belong Together - 8/10
An amped up version of Gavin's tune from the "Tristan & Isolde" soundtrack. For those who like the raw sound of the acoustic guitar driven original, you may not enjoy this version as much. For others who like a more produced rocking sound, this version will eclipse the original for you.

Overall, Gavin DeGraw has proven without a shadow of a doubt that the five year layoff did not affect his abilities to write solid, catchy tunes. He shines brightest on his heartfelt ballads, while also scoring big on the uptempo pop/rock style of all the singles he has released. As long as his next album is as solid as this self titled offering, I don't think his fans will mind waiting another five years to hear it, but here's to hoping that Gavin doesn't make us wait quite that long next time.

It's grown on me and is now rooted in my life...
I can't say that I loved "Chariot" when I first heard it but I liked it. With a little encouragement from a dear friend I eased into the album and fell in love with his style and talent.

When we heard that release #2 was coming out neither of us could wait to get it and I truely love this album more than the first. Gavin said he wanted this album to have more of a rock feeling to it than the first but the styles of the songs vary enough that it keeps the experience fresh. I can listen to the album and find myself singing along and it over before I know it because I am enjoying it that much. I'd have to say that my favorites are "In Love With a Girl", "She Holds a Key", "Medicate the Kids", and "We belong Together." He definitely put a lot of soul into this album and it's just great to see that come out in young talent.

Easy to install, excellent space saver
This is a nice product that really saves space in my closet. Before, I would hang ties and belts from a hanger--a really inefficient use of space. Now I can easily sort my ties and belts, and they don't fall off the hanger anymore. Installation is very easy. All you really need is a screwdriver and pliers or a wrench. The only problem I had was one of the hooks was too long and prevented me from hanging the rod evenly. As it stands, there is a slight (maybe 15 degree) tilt to the rod, but I've noticed no problems with that. If you need to better organize your closet, this is really handy and cheap tool to use.

Rubbermaid Tie Organizers
I haven't found anything else that works as well or holds as many ties. These were fairly easy to install, but didn't fit the older organizers in my Dad's apartment. They seem to work fine, but I had to adjust.

unbeatable value, outstanding clarity
I'm a casual music listener. I don't know the difference between "midrange" and "nominal impedance" (and I don't WANT to know). If you want well-made headphones that sound forceful and crisp, then pick these up.

I listen mainly to hip-hop music, so bass is important to me. These are the most expensive headphones that I've ever owned, but I have used the Sennheiser PX100s as well. These deliver superior bass to the PX100s, and even though they are open-air design, I never have to press the earcups closer to my head to hear my music better. In fact, I find myself having to turn the volume DOWN on my SR60s because it delivers such rich sound. Again, I am not a sound expert; if you want to know about "ohms" and "tweeters," then look elsewhere. I am just a hip-hop fan who wants his music to sound good. These will not let you down.

The SR60s are also very well made. A common problem I had with headphones, even the PX100s, was the flimsy cable unraveling and, eventually, only delivering sound in one ear. Another issue I had to deal with was the cable getting tangled. The SR60s have very thick cables that I can't imagine ever getting tangled or worn out. Every set of headphones I had met its untimely fate in the garbage can because of bad construction, but these look like they can survive for years.

My one gripe is that the cable is very long, so it's hard to use these on the go. I had to bundle some of the cable with rubber bands so it wouldn't hit my knees. If you then tuck this bundle into your pocket, you'll be just fine. Buy these, and they'll be the last pair of headphones you'll need.

Good Punchy Bass But a Bit Breaky
The Grado SR60 is a great headphone for its price. You get exactly what you're paying for: A decent budget set of cans. They have lovely bass response and bright highs, though the mid range can be a bit muddled with some sound sources. To get the most out of these cans you really need a decent headphone amp, since some devices (iPods, CD players) will have trouble driving the large voice cones.

Some discerning audiophiles may dislike the rolloff of high frequencies and I've heard mention that the sound of these cans is a bit forward and bright, which can be fatiguing during extended listening, but I've never noticed this myself.

These cans are a great budget alternative to more expensive headphones with similar sound flavor such as the Ultrasone PROline 550. While they are not so great in build quality you'd be hard pressed to find a better casual listening headphone for modern music at this price point.

Two tips about comfort with these cans:

1. You can get a set of replacement pads from Grado that are made of a different type of material that is more comfortable to some people.
2. You can greatly increase the comfort of these cans by bending the headband out to adjust its fit to your head.

Pros:

* Good, solid bass response is excellent for modern compositions (pop, hip-hop, house, drum & bass).
* Great for extended listening once adjusted.
* 360 degree cup rotation for one-ear listening.
* A decent budget headphone for bass heads.
* This is a great walking headphone, as the adjustable headband stays snug on the ears and the smooth fat cable doesn't tangle easily.

Cons:

* The metal headband can be a bit harsh on the head/hair.
* I've had two pairs of these and I've found that the cables' solder points come loose inside the ear cups after they've been used for a while resulting in crackling noise when you move, then eventually the sound drops out altogether.
* The stock ear pads tend to fade and break down after a while, leaving the hard plastic cups to press right against your ears (ouch).
* The metal posts that hold the cups bend easily out of shape and are difficult to bend back straight.
* The caps on the metal posts tend to fall off and get lost leaving harsh metal points to get caught on things and poke your hands.

OLutstandind value and quality
I've had the Grado SR60's for two months. They have outstanding sound for less that . I was looking for and open ear set of hi quality headphone that didn't cost 0. I listen to my iPod at work 8 hours a day with these on and they can easily be worn for 4 hours striaght, The quality of workmanship and sound is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great hi quality open-ear set any time.

WONDERFUL SOUND, GREAT VALUE!
The best end result of my Koss PRO-AAA'S breaking (after 20 years!) was my purchase of these headphones. They're the least expensive Grado model, but I love their sound. (Plus - if anything should wear out - Grado's repair service has been excellent.)

Grado SR60 Rocks
I really enjoy the Grado SR60 headphones. I don't find much sound leakage as others have noted, possibly because I don't listen at higher volumes. They are quite comfortable to wear and the sound and tone is amazing, as well as a nice bass reproduction. My only downloads (slight ones) are that the thickness of the cord makes it hard to keep my MP3 player in place on my desk, and the potential "dork factor" of wearing the headphones as I walk outside keeps me from using them other than indoors.

Yea no screws!
Works pretty well. A good hyge yank can pull the adhesive off, but you will hear that if that occurs.
