Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads

Thursday, August 12th, 2010


I gave this book to my husband before our son arrived because he's an Eagle Scout and I thought it was cute. It turned out that it was one of the best pre-baby purchases I made! Not only is the information appropriate and accurate, easy to "bathroom" read and completely Dad-centered, but it's light-hearted and fun and includes things you'd never find in any "New Mom" book. I'm an early childhood teacher and have had tons of experience with children and yet I learned new things by reading this book. It also gives lots of wonderful ideas for interacting with your new baby that Dads would enjoy, such as watching Sports Center, because of all the colors and movement. It's a short book, only covering the "need-to-know" basics, which means it's more likely to be read all the way through. The cute, witty diagrams and illustrations make the book entertaining as well as educational.

I would highly recommend this book to every new parent, Mom or Dad!

Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads

Product Description:
An indispensable survival manual for guys entering the trenches of fatherhood, Be Prepared is loaded with one-of-a-kind insights, MacGyver-esque tips and tricks, and no-nonsense advice for mastering the first year as a dad.

Finally, a book that teaches men all the things they really need to know about fatherhood...including how to:

• change a baby at a packed sports stadium

• create a decoy drawer full of old wallets, remote controls, and cell phones to throw baby off the scent of your real gear

• stay awake (or at least upright) at work

• babyproof a hotel room in four minutes flat

• construct an emergency diaper out of a towel, a sock, and duct tape

Packed with helpful diagrams and detailed instructions, and delivered with a wry sense of humor, Be Prepared is the ultimate guide for sleep-deprived, applesauce-covered fathers everywhere.
Amazon.com Review:
Take your average guide for new mothers, chuck most of the stuff about breast feeding and ditch the deep background research and stats, then generously pepper with illustrations and burley humor and what do you have? Your average guide for new fathers. Be Prepared follows that template pretty closely, and that's really quite an acceptable thing. Yes, there's a bit too much emphasis here on broadly drawn manly stuff like changing a diaper at a ballgame, but there's also heaps of useful advice that's cleverly and efficiently presented for pops who, despite their best intentions, really aren't prepared to dig into encyclopedia-sized tomes. The basics (childproofing, bathing, feeding, entertaining) intermix with nifty sidebars (homemade bath toys, foods to never give your baby, exercises for dads) in easy-to-peruse chapters organized according to the age of the offspring up to age 1. There are more thorough how-to guides for new dads, but for most men moving into fatherhood, Be Prepared will fill the bill. --Steven Stolder

NEW! Power Supply+Cord for HP Pavilion DV1000 DV6000

Saturday, August 7th, 2010


My husband's power cord stopped generating power about a year into his ownership of his HP laptop, and when we priced the replacement cords locally we were astonished to discover they were over 0. The poor guy went for months with his power cord taped into any configuration which would give his laptop power, before i was surfing one day and spotted this one for ! This was a NEW product, and we've had it for 4 months and it works perfectly - EXTREMELY happy with this purchase, in every way!

Bear Motion 100% Real Cowhide Leather Flip Book Case Jacket/folio for Apple Ipad 3g Tablet/wifi Model 16gb, 32gb, 64gb (Black)

Bear Motion 100% Real Cowhide Leather Flip Book Case Jacket/folio for Apple Ipad 3g Tablet/wifi Model 16gb, 32gb, 64gb (Black)


This just arrived. Somebody gave it to me as a gift. I could not be happier. I really like the multiple adjustable positions. Using it on the lap becomes much easier. The material feels and smells like leather. I actually would like to have a nice synthetic leather one because I am half vegetarian. The craftsmanship is really good.
I was a little concerns about the magnet on the flip closure. It does have some effect on the compass, which I don't plan to use at all. It does not affect GPS function at all, which I use a lot. So, I guess I am fine. The magnet is not strong neither. The case fits my ipad perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone.

good product
over all this is good cover. I did not like the design and shiny material.


Better than apple's case
I like this better than the ipad case. This is made of real leather. You can smell it and feel it.
The construction is good. Offers more angles than the apple case. The ipad is securely placed in the case. The only issue I can see is the corner protection that is lacking. Other than that, a perfect beautiful case to carry ipad around.


Fine quality and fits well
I was searching for a good quality cover for the iPad and looked at several items available with lower quality materials. I think this is a fine cover, and generally fits well. It is definitely leather. just like some other reviews, it is a little bit hard to type on the screen at the angles given. however, I use a bluetooth keyboard. It works perfectly.
It is very nice to watch movie on it. sometimes, I wrap it around the car seat for my daughter to watch cartoon in the car. i really love this case. second to none.


Simply Nice
Just got it today in the mail. It came really quickly, 4 days after the purchase. The packaging is kind of shabby. I was a little bit disappointed when I saw the plan plastic bag when I opened up the box. However, the product itself is extraordinary.
The material is real cow leather. Feels really good. I can tell the leather is a little thin. Probably not the top quality leather. But, we do you expect for the money? 20 dollars for a real cowhide leather case with good design. This is already a good surprise.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone.

NEW Laptop/Notebook Battery for Compaq Presario C700 F500 F560 F572US F700 F730 V 6000 V3000 V3400 V6000 V6100 V6200 V6205NR V6300 V6500 V6600 f527 v6700


Of course I was skeptical about purchasing this product only because the price was way too low. Plus I read other reviews that had me non trusting on the product. But I took the risk (because the price was low) and I'm glad I did. I had this battery for about 6 months now and it is awesome. I dont have to charge my laptop up as often as I did before. Infact with it being fully charged, I can have it off the charger for about 3 hours before it dies. I'm not sure if that is truly a good thing in other people eyes but in mines it is because my previous battery would have only lasted 30 minutes off the charger.

good OEM replacement
Works perfect. Last's about as long as the original battery. Price was right. Shipping was fast. Not much else to say...


Fast & Fitting
The battery was delivered straight away and replaced my old one perfectly. Within minutes my laptop, a Presario F700, was up and running again. Charging the battery took a while but since then I have not encountered any problem at all. Great value for an affordable price.


So Far So Good
Works well as a replacement for my original battery, so far it still charges up 100%, I am hoping that it says that way for a while. It came in the mail fast. I would recommend this item as of right now.


Pleasantly surprised.
Works perfect with my daughter's Compaq Presario F500. Best price out there for this item.

4 High Quality Thick Silicone Skin Cases for Apple iPod Touch 2nd Generation 3rd Generation 3G 2G


These cases far exceeded my expectations. While they are narrow along the edges, the silicone hasn't stretched yet on me. They're slim fitting cases, and the colors of the are very bright. The blue is a cobalt and the pink is almost excruciatingly bright.

OK protection for your investment-Note the colors!
These are nicely made silicon slip cases. They fit the iTouch perfectly and allow access to all controls. However, they only cover the back and very edges of the iPod leaving the front totally exposed unless you use a screen protector. They were shipped quickly and were an OK value. Since I bought the 12 reusable screen protectors from another Amazon seller (which are excellent by the way) these would offer good protection as they are thicker and more substantial than some others.

My disappointments are:
1. The photo on my HD computer screen shows the colors to be red, silver, green and black and what I received are light pink, clear white, royal blue and black. Red, green and silver being far superior to pink, blue and white is partly why I left 3 stars. I want others to know what colors to expect instead of what is shown.
2. These cases have a funky smell that does not go away, at least not for the four days I have had them.
3. I prefer a slip case that slides over the entire player, not one that just protects the back by hugging the very edge of the front.

Even with the cons, I thought I would keep them. But having ordered an incredible value from another Amazon seller that includes ear buds, longer docking cable than came with my iTouch, an armband, a screen protector, a car adapter, a house adapter AND a much better slip case for less than the cost of these four cases, I am returning them for a full refund.


Silicone skin case for Apple I-Pod.
Nothing spectacular. Its just a rubber case that goes over the ipod. I don't own an ipod, but my kids do. It will protect the device if its dropped or something to a certain limit.


skins
for the money, it is a great buy. They feel kind of cheap, but they are fine as you get 4 for cheap.


Its good
The cases are actually darker than the actual picture, but for the most part theyre nice cases, they fit my ipod perfectly and are sturdy protection for it

very affordable cable
this is a very affordable cable compared to even walmart.
I highly recommend these, since I needed six of them for
two separate setups to two tvs and dvd players with a switch.


The Best!!!
After spending big $$$ on HDMI cables, I found this on on Amazon... Another example that cost has nothing to do quality. If you need an excellent HDMI cable, save your money and get this one.

Saturday, July 17th, 2010


This is a qualified review as I've only had the charger for about a week. It's a made-in-China item, and China doesn't QUITE have a handle on quality control, so the long-term value of their products is kind of a crap shoot. For a relatively simple item like this, though, I feel pretty confident.

As other people have mentioned, what you see in the picture above isn't EXACTLY what you get. In addition to a power cord and corded adapter, I got seven adapter heads that can sleeve over the adapter plug to fit different kinds of laptop sockets. My laptop's original power cord was 6' long, as was the cord from the adapter; for THIS product the power cord is 5' and the adapter cord is only 45". Not great, but survivable.

The adapter's existing plug fits the socket of my old Acer perfectly, and as I have a couple laptops lying around I like the universal adapter aspect (although I haven't tested the adapter heads yet.)

So far it works fine, so I'd call it a good buy for the price - for now!

Works great
Works great. The only thing I wish was that the cable was a little longer. The original for my Acer laptop was about a foot longer which was a little more convenient but given the price I have no complaints.


Excellent
Very good price! I just wish the length of the cord was longer! Works as good as original did when new.


It works
I bought this item on June twenty fifth. From then to now, i must say that I am quite satisfied. I have encountered NO problems. My original charger that i bought from Acer bailed on me within the first few months that I had bought my laptop. I was going to buy a new one from them, thinking they would be inexpensive. Trust me that was NOT the case. I am so glad i found this product on Amazon. I highly recommend this product.

Inside Out series this is the most extensive and exhaustive set of texts on MS Office and related products. My only issue is that the text goes into details to point out some bugs that wre inherent at the time of publication e.g. hypertext field editing. However, it appears that some or all of the issues have since been corrected via fixes and Windows updates but there is no errata for the book in MS Knowledge Base (the designated place for all Microsoft Press errata correcting the book or putting the isssues to bed.)

Boy, You Can't Beat This Title!!!
A CD is included!!! This is the best reference guide to Access 2007 there is. It's organized and full of solutions to problems a new user can encounter. Can be a pricey title, but what do you expect - something for a few dollars?


Excellent Resource
Unlike some books on the subject that merely restate the information on Microsoft's website, this is a very comprehensive and well laid-out resource.

It is extremely good at documenting properties and functions. It is NOT a primer on interface design, however. If you need a text on that, look elsewhere. It is also not informative when it comes to extending Access with foreign DLL's or OCX's.

InCarCables Car Stereo Ipod/mp3 Auxiliary Aux-in Input Cable 3.5mm (4ft)

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010


There's nothing wrong with this cable that really deserves mentioning other than that the rubber on the ends are too thick. If you have a thick case for your ipod or have little room like on a nano, squeezing this cable with a car charger is impossible. I understand its quality but how often does your cable rip at the head. more often than not, its the rubber around the actual wiring becomes stripped or it gets detached near the base of the tip and where it connects to the wire. I'm sure they meant well by making one that is thick and built nicely but it just seems a little too big for me. for other ipods though, it may be better. for the price though, it's well worth it. quality from the cable is nice and i don't hear any static from my car speakers. this is definitely better than those 99cents cables mailed from china that get stripped in 2 weeks. save yourself some time and just invest 8 dollars in a quality one like this.
