	La Crosse Technology WT-3122A 12-Inch Wood Atomic Analog Clock - Cherry
	"Great clock"	2008-07-07
I don't need to emphasize its accuracy because I have nothing to say that. How can you say something that's perfectly accurate? It looks good and also matches furnitures. The second dial ticks with very low sound that is almost silent. It's hanging there and maintenance free. It has the modern technologies and preservs old fashion in a very good way. I found its price went up since I bought it, not like the stocks I bought.
	Samsung HP-S5053 50" Plasma HDTV
	"Sparkling video noise are so annoying"	2007-07-19
Before I bought this TV I had seen sparkilling video noise in a few showrooms are stores like Circuit City, Compusa, Bestbuy and otehr electronic stores. The noises are thin 1-4 mm long bright sparkle like video noise shown on the display. I had not seen this type of problem on any other brand or even on Samsungs. A store salesman told me that probably is due to bad connection on wires. But how come so many display of this model have this problem and others don't? But eventually i bought this model because of it rich color, appearance and cheap price. For the first few month I did not see the sparkling video noise on my unit. But after about 4-5 months they are showing. When i turned on the TV but not turn on the Set top box the sparkling noise are there at certain areas, especially on left half of the screen. Those cleaning procedure like white screen and patern cleaning may make those noise less but won't remove them. They would come back very quickly. When I watch HD programs those noise may not be visible. But it's apparent they become more and more visible now. This model must have internal big problem on this type of video noise. Listen, I am not talking about one unit, I have seen this problem on at least 8-10 units at various stores.
	Motorola SURFboard SB5120 Cable Modem
	"Good modem and I had changed one"	2007-06-25
I had used my first SB 5120 for one and a half of years and the download and upload speed dropped to about 100K. I did see one day the modem shows only the power was on with the green lights. I eliminated the possibility of any cable problem so I called Comcast to see if they were sending weak signal to me and they said NO after we did some simple tests on both sides. So they set an appointment to come to my house to check. Before they came to my house the download speed was back to about 5-8 MB again and upload to 380K. So I cancelled the appointment. Two days later the down/up speed dropped to 100 K again. So called Comcast technician in and they put on their Scientific Atlantic modem and the speed was 9 MB and upload speed was 1.5MB while my SB coule only get me less than 100 K on two ways. So they said my SB 5120 was bad. It's still under warranty so I called Motorola and got a replacement after I sent the old one back at my own expense of one way shipping. Got the 2nd SB 5120 and called Comcast to enable the Mac. To my surprise the download speed was about 100-200 kb and upload was even lower. I and Comcast did some tests and no improvments were found. Comcast did not know why. I think it's unlikely two SB 5120 modems I have are both bad. I unplugged it and reconnected them with power and cables after disconnecting them for about 20 minutes. After restarted all of the equipments and retested the speed I had stable 8MB or higher dowload and 300-360k upload speed. The highest download once reached 18MB but the upload speed never went above 365K. So I suspect there is some unknown minor issue with this modem and the first one I sent back to Motorola probably was not bad but was not functioning properly due to some minor issue. Maybe it needs to discharge once in a while. I am not sure and will ask Motorola if there is such an issue. Now the big question is why I can't get up to 1.5 MB upload speed with the SB 5120 if the Scientific Atlantic modem can get me?

	Vertical Garden Shed
	"Good inside design for maximum usage"	2005-05-09
You can put up to 6 shelves inside to fully use all the cubic space available. But you may just need 4 and leave the lower two open for big size items to be stored. Rubbermaid has a similar size shed but it can only accept three shelves and waste a lot of spaces. The Rubbermaid shed uses much fewer pieces to assembly than this one. The assmbly is pretty easy if you follow the manu but it does take some time (1-2 hours). After I finished the assembly there were some rain and the inside was try except a couple of water drops. The only concern is its sturdiness since it's assembled with 28 pieces and so far so good. I don't expect it can stand a ternado or hurricane. One thing I wan to alert you: when you buy the shelves do measure the inside and ignore the manu since if you buy the side according it yuo will find the shelves will shift too much to the left or right. You want them more stable, right? Recommended.
	Briggs & Stratton 20228 4.5 Hp 2200 PSI Pressure Washer
	"Good fo medium project"	2005-04-04
I was to review the sibling model 020239 sold in Walmart. Model 20228 was sold in Sears. I believe Briggs & Stratton made slight different products for distributors. Here is the Speed Clean sold in Walmart which had a 4 HP engine. Speed Clean 2200 PSI Pressure Washer: 2200 PSI (pounds per square inch) 1.9 GPM (gallons per minute) 4 HP Briggs & Stratton Quantum Engine Easy, reliable start Easy Start pump technology Adjustable spray nozzle Stainless steel spray wand 25' high-pressure hose Detergent injection system Model 020239 It's very easy to assemble the wheels and handler and easy to use after you read the manual. I had used a more powerful machine before so I feel the difference of the PSI and GPM. The 1.9 GPM is slightly lower. 2500 PSI and 2.5 GPM sound ideal for home use. But if you mainly work on medium projects like to wash tool, cars, furnitures, drive ways, decks, and patios it more than meets your needs for routine cleanings. It's has a small size so you won't need much space to store it. Full tank fuel can run about 40 minutes. I had to add motor oil after running it for 5 hours and that's in line of their recommendation. It has no muffler so you may need earplugs to reduce the noise you have to hear. It worked good for me. One thing I want to mention that after I finished the job the front foot of the machine melted down for some reason and the rubber contained the surface and had to clean that out. Be careful on that.
	Happy Times
	"Another decent Yimou's work"	2005-01-19
This is a story about ordinary folks. It may seem unreal as a whole but it's not hard find every single person in the real life. How many movies are completely real stories? So put them together to make a drama which also looks like comedy and a little tragedy (for the teenage girl who is definitely not 18 as she told and has to leave those who showed care and love on her and and for Zhao who was blamed as a liar and lost his "love" again and was injurred by an unneccessary accident). Unlike some other Yimou's moveis, this movie was not focusing on the poverty but on love. An unemployeed (his factory was half closed and had no pay to give out)old man Zhao seeked love and did his best he could to make his new date happy. The fat woman turned out to be a savvy gold digger type and took advantage of his love to let him to help her dump her untanted blind stepdaughter. While trying hard, with his scarce money, to please his date Zhao had to take care of the blind girl who had been abandoned by her stepmother and was neglected by her biological father. Troubled by lacking of money, Zhao and his fellow workers set up a fake massage parlor to "hire" the girl to do the only thing she can do. They even gave real tips to the girl though they themself were all not rich, even poor. But this could not last long so they decide to give paper as money to make her stay to avoid her dangerous leaving-out. The fat woman kicked Zhao out after her new lover (seemed to be the girl's father who seemed to have made a lot of money but did not show sign to find her daughter and cure her eye) came back and blamed Zhao as a liar. Yes Zhao lied to her about his fake hotel and finacial situation but not about his love to her. The girl also found out the massage parlor was fake and the later paper money were fake but she did not feel being deceived but felt being loved by those unknown folks who are not her father and stepmother. Not wanting to add more burden to these nice guys the girl left secretly, not even waitng for anotehr fake letter from her father. Probably she knew her father did not even care about her. Like she said her happies times were those while she were with Zhao and his fellow workers. The whole story was smoothly told and was toutchng. Every single person has his or her unique characters through out the whole movie, making it real life like and vivid. It's hard to find this kind stylish movies in Hollywood.
	Monster Super Video 3 2m S-Video Cable - MVSV3-2M
	"I am unable to verify its ultra high performance"	2002-07-18
~I bought the MVSV3-1m cable and put it between my Pioneer V555 DVD player and SONY WEGA tv KV-27FS12, I was unable to see with my naked eyes any improvement regading the visual quality, color, sharpness. Same as the result as I used the composite cable came with the box. I really don't know why. I have to say, my TV is a good one and the picture quality is already satisfactory even I don't use DVD player. Unfortunately my DVD player does not have component jack to let me try the next level video~~ experience. I don't want to say this expensive cable is a poor one, I was just unable to verify its alledged ultra high performance. we just don't have a benchmark to evaluate it.~
