Only Natural Pet Laxa-Herb Herbal Formula
An herbal tincture formulated to act as a laxative and hairball remedy for overnight relief of constipation.

I’m Happy with this product

5 stars
5 5

Pros: No Side Effects, Effective

Cons: Difficult To Administer

Best Uses: Older Pets

: I hava a male cat 11 years old suffering from constipation for almost a year I had taken him to the vet had surgery on him, gave him lactulose and still he was having problems. I was checking your product out on line, and I was reluctant to buy it and hesitated for a bit, but I was desperate and ordered it. In the beginning it was hard because he would not swallow it, I could not put it on his food because he was no eating at all. I held my ground I grab him with a syringe made him swallow it. I did this for a day along with the lactulose and lord and behold he went to the litter the next day I could not believe it. Thank you guys I would recommend this to my friends that have cats.

Western Digital My Book Studio Edition 500 GB Hard Drive
My Book Studio 500GB Quad Interface (FireWire 400/800, USB 2.0 & eSATA) External Hard Drive Speed is what you need for video, music and photo editing. High-speed interfaces make this quiet & cool drive an ideal solution for creative professionals. Compatible with Time Machine. 5 yr warranty…


Great product for the price

5 stars
5 5

Pros: Easy to use, High Capacity, Attractive Design, Compact, Easy To Setup

Cons: A tiny bit noisy

Best Uses: Video, Backup, Photo Storage, Additional Storage

Primary use: Personal

: I bought this hard drive primarily as a source to back up all my files to–and it works fantastic! I originally saw some comments circulating the internet giving Western Digital a bum rap, but let me assure you they are false or represent a minority of people who buy it and unfortunately have a defective product. Don’t give into such reviews. I’ve been using this drive for almost three months now and it functions as pristinely and smoothly as the day I brought it home. The highlights of this external drive are:

1. Works great with Time Machine (sorry PC users, this is a Mac exclusive)

2. Has its own, simple to install program, for backing up files every few seconds so your data is up to date (so if God forbid your comp ever crashes you will be able to restore everything once more, down to the last second before the crash)

3. Massive amounts of space, 500 GB, good if you want to expand your gamut of computer files–including video, music, and photos

4. Extremely elegant and suave design–complements the new aluminum Macbook pros very well

5. Turns off or goes on standby when you turn your computer off or put it to sleep, respectively

6. Innovative LED functions that tell you how much space is being used up and when the hard drive is active or not

7. Smaller than it looks, quite literally the size of a paperback that is approximately 400 pgs

8. THE BEST FEATURE: It has FireWire 400/800 that makes backups a breeze, backing up 90 GB of my files in a record 1 hour, give or take

Overall it is a great buy, especially at J&R where I have yet to see it for cheaper at any other store. The only issue I have, albeit very minor, is that it does add some noise to an otherwise quiet macbook environment (all mac users know that the laptops run like a charm, absolutely zero background noise). But compared to other external drives, I’m sure its relatively quiet. If your looking for a reliable drive with a huge capacity, speedy transfer rate, and relatively inexpensive look no further. BUY!

1 stars
1 5

Pros: Easy To Use

Cons: Took dog 8 month to open

Best Uses: Crawlers, Toddlers, Infants

: I still love this gate for my 12 month old and 11 month old, for the moment. Yes I know its confusing, Its called fosterparenting. But my boston terrier has figured out how to lift the bottom of the gate door up and open the door with his nose.Which makes it kind of useless since it won’t be long before the kids are watching and waiting for the dog to open the gate to freedom

Murad APS Perfecting Night Cream, 1.7 fl oz Review

Murad APS Perfecting Night Cream, 1.7 fl oz
Restore skin tone and elasticity with this nourishing formula.

Unusual reaction

1 stars
1 5

Pros: Non-Greasy

Cons: Irritates Skin

Skin Type: Normal

Age: 35-44

: I decided to try this product along with a Murad daily moisturizer with SPF when getting products for a trip to Peru. I usually use Epicuren & L’Occitane, but will give other products a try. My mistake! The Murad Perfecting night cream made both my face & neck break out! My face was red, as if burned and my neck looked like I had hives! Initially I was blaming the strange reactions to exotic fruits I was consuming, but when I got home I once again used and my skin reacted the same way. Now I know. The feel of the product is nothing special. Does not have a rich cream consistency like both L’Occitane & Epicuren. Smell is nothing special, almost gluey. I can barely rate it at one star..

Jura-Capresso ENA-3 White Automatic Coffee Center
Jura-Capresso ENA-3 White Automatic Coffee Center – 13466/ Dual Frother Plus/ Height Adjustable Coffee Spout/ Two Step Pre-Infusion Cycle/ Two Temperature Settings/ Integrated Professional Solid Steel Conical Burr Grinder/ ENA Clearyl Water Care System/ 18-Bar Power Pump/ White Finish

Nice machine but irritating behaviour

2 stars
2 5

Pros: Easy To Use

Best Uses: Anytime

Primary use: Personal

: The Jura Ena is a well built machine that looks handsome in the shop but when you use you discover a bunch of silly design mistakes that make your experience of using it quite deceiving, I’ll try to list them:

Rinsing: the Jura has a rinsing program, it’s fine it has this! the problem is that it is badly designed: when you stop the machine it will automatically rinse, fine! when you start the machine it won’t rinse automatically it will tell you to touch the button so that it rinses, why? It is very irritating to start the coffee machine in the morning, go to wash your teeth and when you go back to the machine it’s not ready, it’s asking you to push a button to get it rinsed.

Energy savings: it’s also badly thought. You can ask the machine to automatically get in a saving mode so that it’s on but it doesn’t consume so much electricity. That’s a very good idea but it’s not well implemented. When it’s in saving mode you can’t make coffee, you have to wait to get it hotter, that’s ok except that you don’t know if it’s in saving mode or not, you see that it tells you it’s “ready” you push the button and then… it doesn’t make your coffee, it tells you “please wait while i heat up”, then you have to wait and push the button again. It’d be fine if it made the coffee directly after heating up, but it won’t, you have to push again. In the end I don’t use the energy savings.

Spit in your coffee: every time it makes a coffee it spits a little bit of (dirty) water before making the coffee why? irritating anyway.

The rotary switch: this machine pretends to work as a sort of iPod, I would like best to have several buttons and know what it is for each one, because that only button is puzzling and doesn’t let you combine options (say short coffee, hotter and two cups. You can only have one of the three options).

Capuccino: I don’t like capuccino so I don’t care much, I only tried once to make one and the result had nothing to do with what you see in the video.

What about the coffee? it’s correct but has nothing to do with a true expresso, it’s much thinner and comes out not hot enough (even in the hot program).

So my conclusion is that despite this coffee machine makes a correct coffee its processes (start up, rinse, energy savings etc.) are not well thought so it causes you a lot of very silly problems when using it in a home, probably all day long started without savings (an office and not caring for the electricity bill) would be acceptable but for a home user that tries to save electricity is a nightmare.

I don’t recommend you this coffee machine.
