Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International, Brita water filters contain a mesh screen to catch sediment and particles as tap water flows through into the pitcher's basin. Brita pitchers employ an ion exchange resin with activated carbon granules to draw mercury, zinc, copper and cadmium from tap water, trapping these harmful elements inside the filter. Brita filters eradicate up to 98 percent of the lead found in tap water while significantly reducing other impurities and dangerous bacteria including cryptosporidium, giardia, and benzene. Additionally, the odor and flavor of chlorine are removed from drinking water. Brita filters should be replaced every 40 gallons or after two months of use. Replacement filters can be purchased separately. Wash the Slim Pitcher by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Brita offers a limited 90-day warranty on pitchers in the event of manufacturer defects. The pitcher weighs two pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
Customer Review: Clean, crisp taste
This Brita pitcher is the perfect fit in my hydrated life. Once I bought this pitcher, I drink at least 3 glasses at night, when before I would drink a water bottle nightly, therefore not acting 'green'. The size of the pitcher is perfect for my overstuffed refrigerator and I'm hoping it'll fit in my college dorm fridge. I'd highly recommend it, if not this particular size, then the brand itself.

Customer Review: You don't need experience at all!!
I've seen the product completely and I must say YOU DON'T NEED ANY PREVIOUS TRAINING IN BALLET/PILATES. I am a little overweighted and I was scared to buy an exercise package that I can't follow.....I was surprised with this kind of program.....the exercises are tough, bc they are made to sculpture your body.....but they are not difficult to follow. The only part you could get lost is the warming....and you just have to pay attention......everything else is easy to follow. The music will make you forget you are working out....you will be relaxed breathing. The dancers who participate are an inspiration!!! they make everyy move look so natural!!!! I give this product 5/5.....It's incredible how they conceived this kind of workout and adapted to normal people like us. This has worked for me better than the gym I've paid for 4 years. You won't regret of buying this product. Besides this reccommendation, getting ballet shoes would help even more.

Honeywell HT800 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, Black
Cool off during the hot days of summer with this powerful turbo fan from Honeywell. The .52-amp fan sits alone or can be wall-mounted to provide a steady breeze. Tilting back 90 degrees, the fan also enhances air circulation in stagnant rooms and can assist in clearing smoke or hot air out of a room when pointed away from the room in question. Sleek in design, the compact fan fits into most interior design motifs.

The fan features a convex grill to protect the high velocity blades and allow air to flow unhindered. A powers the fan. Three power settings offer flexibility for different cooling and environmental needs, including quiet operation with the lowest setting. The fan travels easily from one room to the next with the use of the convenient carrying handle. For mounting the fan, hardware must be purchased separately. Use a dry soft cloth to clean the fan. Prior to use, review the thorough safety guidelines in the owner's manual. This item does not disassemble and is covered by a limited-five-year warranty. The fan measures 11-3/8 by 6-1/2 by 11-1/8 inches and weighs 4 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
Customer Review: Excellent value!! Long life and power!!
I purchased this exact fan about 2.5 years ago because I wanted to have two things... 1) A cooler room (bad A/C circulation) 2) White noise (I personally sleep better) This thing delivers. With three speeds you can move an impressive amount of air around. For something so small this fan is awesome. To achieve this kind of power, this unit is fairly loud. Not like jack hammer outside loud, but constant fan ambient white noise. If you sleep to a fan or A/C unit, this works great. Oh, and the best part! These things last so long. I finally had to replace my 2.5 year old fan after a power surge fried it and the lamp that were in the same socket. Without any maintenance on my part or cleaning this thing lasted 2.5 years before it was killed by lightning. For that matter, it was on almost the entire time that period. I almost never turned it off, but rather used it all the time to circulate air in my room. One awesome value! Last a long time under heavy usage and you can pick one up for under $15!

Freestyle: Made Easy
FREESTYLE MADE EASY - THE TOTAL IMMERSION SYSTEM

Total Immersion: Freestyle Made Easy illustrates everything about freestyle swimming - how to kick efficiently; every part of the stroke - entry, catch, finish, exit and recovery; how to breathe - in the pool and in open water; and how to do both the relaxing open turn and the fast flip turn. To allow you to study all of this carefully, the DVD uses more views (surface, underwater, front, and directly overhead), more slow-motion and more stop action than any DVD produced before. Since 1989, Total Immersion Swimming has become a phenomenon among improvement-minded swimmers - the first program in the history of swimming instruction with "raving fans." TI has become so popular because it is simpler than any alternative; it works with unprecedented dependability and it makes swimming enjoyable and deeply satisfying. Freestyle Made Easy provides the whole picture on smart Freestyle.

Running Time: 42 minutes
Customer Review: great DVD, great instruction, but I'm grumpy
First, yes, I echo what the other positive reviews have said. Music is cheesy, production is cheap-ish, examples are very clear and immediately useful, provides the clarity that the Total Immersion book doesn't. But really, I should not have had to get 1/3 of the way through the book before finding that I needed a $40 DVD (or, alternatively, a $500 weekend seminar) to really make use of its techniques. C'mon guys, raise the price of the book by $5 or whatever and include the DVD with it!
