13" MacBook Marware Protection Pack (White)



13" MacBook Marware Protection Pack (White)
Protection Pack includes two great products to preserve your investment. A removable hand rest protects your MacBook from scratches while adding a layer of cushioning for maximum comfort. The keyboard cover protects the screen against dirt and oil build-up, and also doubles as a screen cleaner. Hand Rest features: Soft PVC leather Custom fitted for MacBook Protects against scratches to the MacBook surface Provides comfort when typing Leaves no residue when removed Features restickable adhesive for easy application Keyboard Cover features: Soft microfiber Covers keys when MacBook is closed to prevent transfer of oil and dirt Can be used to clean MacBook's screen

Customer Review: I love Goo Gone

I bought this protection pack when I got my white MacBook. On my old Powerbook G4, I had a big problem of the keys leaving imprints on the screen, so I was excited about the keyboard cover. I used it for about a month before I realized that it was leaving it's own imprint on the screen. Since I stopped using it, I have no problems with key imprints, so I wouldn't use it.



With the wrist pad, I used it for about 8 months before the little strips below and above the trackpad lost their adhesiveness, and it got so bad, I decided to remove the whole pad. I have heard many people say that they removed their pad after a month or two and had no remaining adhesive gunk left behind. This was not what I found. The entire pad left a think layer of gunk that took me about 4 hours and quarter bottle of Goo Gone to remove. I was going to buy a new pad to replace the first one, but after that, I will not be buying a new pad.

Customer Review: Good Product

Great products, I spent so much money on my MacBook, I didnt want anything to mess it up, so this is definitely helping with that. I haven't tried to peel the sticker/pad off yet, so I can't say anything about it's removal but it was easy to apply, and the keyboard cover/screen cleaner is nice. Won't remove fingerprints, but will gently remove dust.

Good product, good price.

Case Logic XAS-15PISTACHIO/CHOCOLATE 15.4-inch Reversible Neoprene Macbook Shuttle (Pistachio/Chocolate)
PRODUCT FEATURES:Laptop sleeve is a perfect fit for the 15" MacBook ProReversible- two distinct colors in one great caseCompact laptop sleeve design allows you to safely transport your laptop in any briefcase, messenger bag or backpackDurable, weather - resistant neoprene laptop sleeve cushions and protects your computer

Customer Review: Love this case!

This case is the best neoprene case I've had yet. My 15" MacBook Pro fits it perfectly, and it is extremely easy to slide it into the case. I've also gotten quite a few comments about the case as well. Not having a zipper is great. It protects the laptop better, makes the case last longer, and makes it faster and easier to get the laptop in the case. Great job case logic.

Customer Review: Great laptop sleeve!

I was looking for a sleeve to protect my Macbook and this Case Logic sleeve fit the bill nicely at a reasonable price. I wanted some extra padding and protection from scratches when I placed the laptop in a tote bag. This sleeve works great! I like that it is reversible. Also, it is a perfect fit for the Macbook and is thick and will provide a good bit of cushioning from minor impacts. Neoprene is waterproof which is also nice in case it rains or you spill something on your bag. One feature that I really appreciated is that there is NO ZIPPER! A lot of sleeves have zippers that are not shielded well from the laptop and can actually scratch your precious laptop. The flap folds down securely without any zipper. If you are looking for something with shoulder straps or extra space to carry adapters and other accessories you need a laptop bag or case and not a sleeve. If you are looking for a great laptop sleeve, though, this is it!

Customer Review: dj

Started using electric cord at home and within 2 months base of cord, where it joins light clip, cuts off light and no longer works. When it did it was wonderful. Now I have all these nice parts but no light to use.

Customer Review: Itty Bitty Booklight

This product is fine. Just what I expected. Shines a bit brightly for my taste, but what doesn't when the rest of the room is dark?



Lucky Number Slevin [HD DVD]



Lucky Number Slevin [HD DVD]
How boring it is to label a movie Tarantino-esque anymore. The thing is, when it comes to an offering like Lucky Number Slevin, the shoe fits, and the result is anything but boring. Gruesome killings, arid wit, self-reflexive pop culture references, an A-list cast, and style-heavy production values abound, which gives the proceedings an epoxy bond that seals the Q.T. homage factor. Josh Hartnett--who spends a lot of buffed-up time with his shirt off--is Slevin Kelevra, a hapless fellow visiting his New York friend Nick. But Nick has disappeared, which sets off a mistaken-identity thrill ride when two goons grab Slevin (he's in Nick's apartment so he must be Nick) and take him to their crime lord boss, the Boss (Morgan Freeman). The Boss doesn't care about Slevin's wrong-man protests; he just wants the $96,000 Nick owes him. In one of many offers he can't refuse, Slevin has to agree to murder the son of the Boss's felonious arch rival, the Rabbi (Ben Kingsley) or take the bullet himself. But Slevin turns out to be no ordinary patsy. Thrown into the ingeniously designed production, clever plot twists, and academic nods to Bond, Hitchcock, and obscure old cartoons are Lucy Liu as a sexy coroner, Stanley Tucci as an obsessed cop, and Bruce Willis as a wily hit man with his finger in many pots. With so much visual and narrative trickery, there's almost too much to absorb in one viewing of this convoluted jigsaw puzzle of revenge and entertaining mayhem. Lucky Number Slevin isn't quite up to par with similarly brainy thrillers like Memento and The Usual Suspects, but the prospect of seeing it again in order to get your bearings is just as appealing. --Ted Fry

Customer Review: What a waste of time!

I just watched the HD version of this movie. Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley are just wrong the cold blooded gangster types. They appear more fatherly gentlemen than nasty mobster. The movie is supposed to be violent, yet I am not one bit scared or repulsed. The characters are just too nice. A good movie is one the will have the audience hating the bad guy and connecting with the good guy or the victim. This one does neither for me. I have seen better crime thrillers, way better.

Customer Review: Slevin come Eleven

If cast and acting could make a movie by themselves

this would have been a really bit one.

As it is, a lot of the plot is pretty obvious

with everybody pretty much ending up dead in this revenge

at 20 years. It actually comes out same old, same old, gang land

killings. The casting is better than the movie or the filming.



In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto



In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
What to eat, what not to eat, and how to think about health: a manifesto for our times

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, the well-considered answers he provides to the questions posed in the bestselling The Omnivore's Dilemma.

Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists-all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not "real." These "edible foodlike substances" are often packaged with labels bearing health claims that are typically false or misleading. Indeed, real food is fast disappearing from the marketplace, to be replaced by "nutrients," and plain old eating by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. Michael Pollan's sensible and decidedly counterintuitive advice is: "Don't eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food."

Writing In Defense of Food, and affirming the joy of eating, Pollan suggests that if we would pay more for better, well-grown food, but buy less of it, we'll benefit ourselves, our communities, and the environment at large. Taking a clear-eyed look at what science does and does not know about the links between diet and health, he proposes a new way to think about the question of what to eat that is informed by ecology and tradition rather than by the prevailing nutrient-by-nutrient approach.

In Defense of Food reminds us that, despite the daunting dietary landscape Americans confront in the modern supermarket, the solutions to the current omnivore's dilemma can be found all around us.

In looking toward traditional diets the world over, as well as the foods our families-and regions-historically enjoyed, we can recover a more balanced, reasonable, and pleasurable approach to food. Michael Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we might start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives and enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy.

Customer Review: Quick read

Interesting book and the main points really can be summed up in the byline. It felt like the author hadn't distilled his thoughts at certain points, making it wordy in certain sections. Overall I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to a friend.

Customer Review: Read the cover. read the book.

I saw Pollan speak at a University about this book. He told us we all wasted our money because the entire contents of the book was on the cover.



He was right.



I thought this book had some interesting history and a few good, practical points about eating. It was informative, and if you liked The Omnivore's Dilemma, you'll probably enjoy this book.



One thing though. This book is short. Really short. I felt a little ripped off when I reailzed about half of the pages are just reference materials. What's in the book is an exact rehash of everything he spoke about in his 1/2 hour lecture.



I know content is king, and this book's content was excellent. However, it's clear he didn't have much to say and only wrote this to either fulfill a contract or fill his bank account. More likely the former.

Expand Your Contracting Biz With Seasonal Services

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:47:34 -0800
One of the best ways to keep your offerings fresh and your client base growing is to add services. Obviously you can only expand so far but offering seasonal services such as heating and cooling repair and installation, along with full HVAC services can be a major cash flow generator and definitely worth investigating. Keeping the comfort level high, and the climate controls just right in modern buildings can be a major design challenge. HVAC helps to control climate by regulating airflow and t
