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.

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.

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!

Customer Review: Good not only for dancers
I am new to belly dancing, but not new to dance. This DVD makes a lot of sense; starting with build up the strength,great exercise stretching the muscles.Rachel Brice doesn't promise quick results, but mentions the necessity of consistent practice.And I see the exercises are great for me: they relax muscles when I am tired after computer work, or after driving on those horribly congested Southern Californian freeways. I would recommend this DVD not only to people who want to learn belly dancing, but also those who would like to add creativity to their daily stretches.I found the interview not too interesting, but the added bonus for me was Rachel Brice's performance, and what a dancing goddess is she!

Nylon 336-Disc CD Wallet (Black)
A CD / DVD binder that can hold up to 320 CDs (160 with booklets) / Inside Cover Fast-File Pockets hold an extra 16 discs / Color - Black Unit Dimensions - 11.5 (l) x 5.5 (w) x 13.75 (h) Color - Black
Customer Review: This is a nice case.
I'll just jump right into it. Pros 1) Large amount of CD pockets. 2) Hard case shell with nylon that is actually stong. 3) Removable pages for easy organization and for adding more pages(You can buy more pages at Case Logic's site). 4) According to the Case Logic this case is resistant to heat, moisture and tearing. 5) 25 Years warranty. 6) Nice quality, no corners cut in manufacturing. Cons 1) The 16 sleeves that are on the inside of the hard shell case that you see in the picture are referred to as the "Now Playing". This is for your most played CDs that you don't put in the pockets of the pages so you can quickly access them. The problem is the sleeves are not tight enough and allow CDs to fall out and the only use I find for them is to hold the CD booklets. So 16 from 336 equal 320, that means you will have 320 places to put your CD's and 16 for you booklets. 2) The zipper is hard to pull but I assume cause it is new and needs to be used more to wear it in. That is about it on the cons. I liked the case so well that I bought another one to hold my PC games. So this is a very nice case and well worth the money.
