Tried this product to disperse mourning dove's from my roof. They didn't seem to care that it was there.

We have bluebirds that see their reflections in the windows of our cars. Then they proceed to "fight" with these reflections and crap all over our cars on a weekly (sometimes daily) schedule. I bought this stuff to try and prevent this from happening, but it has had no effect at all. I am fed up!

This product did not help me at all. I bought it as a back up incase the Bird-B-gone Hawk didn't work. You need to have a place to hang this stuff where the sun will hit it at least 12 hrs of the day and the way my front door and stairs sit I am lucky to have sun for 3 hrs of the day. The tape seems to be a reflector of light so maybe I can use it for something else at night to reflect headlights if I ever go walking after dark, LOL. Or maybe at Christmas on the tree to reflect off the Christmas lights? That might be cool!

We live in an area with a pigeon problem and this tape has eliminated 99% of the problem. The only time the pigeons land on our balcony now is at night when the tape is not reflecting any light. We just let a few pieces dangle/move around and that seems to have done the trick. This was a great find for us.

The birds and squirrels eating the figs on my fig tree are in no way intimidated by these repellent ribbon. It does not work! Don't waste your money.

I am not impressed with this cutter. While it looks like it would work great, I've found that it's hard to maintain a straight line and that it does not cut cleanly. When I press harder it wobbles. Not great

This item arrived on time if not early. I have not had a chance to use this item yet but I would order from the same seller again.

THANS I RECEIVED MY WILTON FONDANT RIBBON IS VERY BEAUTIFULL AND RECEIVED MY FONDANT RIBBON VERY SPEED .

I wish I had known about this product sooner. I would have saved myself a lot of time. Great buy.

This microplane professional is awesome. I purchased this for grating garlic and man was it worth the price. It is so convienent to use and doesn't take up much room. It is also a breeze to clean. If you are looking for a hand grater, I definetly recomend this one. It makes grating so much easier. I am going to purchase one for my dad for Christmas.

Like i suggest in the title, please order a larger ribbon size than you think you need. Grading is very fine. Other than that a great product!

These Microplane graters are wonderful, and I only recommend the Professional versions. If you use your graters a lot, the plastic edges of the cheaper versions will eventually break, so spend the extra few dollars and get this steel edged Professional version to start with. I just replaced two plastic edged graters myself because they broke within nine months.

I originally bought the pre-filter for my Honeywell air cleaner. I had so much left I used it to put behind the A/C itakes to lower the lint and tar since we smoke. It helps a great deal in keeping the house fresh as well as lowering the dust.

The Microplane graters come in different series and there are so many kinds of blades, so you may find it hard to choose one that you need. About the size, shape, grip and other overall design of the 38000 series, these graters are very well thought out and executed. They are very convenient to use on a bowl, a pan, and a cutting board. They are also very easy to use on the serving dishes in the last steps of presentation. At the time of this writing, I have used 3 products in 38000 series, plus the slider attachment. I bought different graters so that I can experiment with all sorts of ingredients to make novel garnishes, or something interesting that people wouldn't think of. The manufacturer says this shaver is good for chocolate, soft cheese, and butter, but I was hoping that it would work with vegetables and other things to make pretty flakes. Does it work just as well with other ingredients? Well, sort of. This grater says "ribbon grater" but the actual shape of shaved stuff is not quite "ribbon" with most things I tried: not thick enough and not long enough. But it works with more things than the large shaver, and in this sense I can say this product is more versatile. However, the resulting shape I get from this grater is not as interesting as those I get from large shaver. I don't see as much creative potential in this product as in the large shaver, but it may be just me. It is certainly more interesting than fine zester/grater, since the latter is very predictable in what it does and what you get. I may try more graters in this series if I get some idea of how I can make use of other blades.

I was really not expecting this to be very good. I absolutely love Shooter's other albums, but I've been pretty skeptical of this one since I heard about him forming a new band and abandoning his southern rock and country sound. After the long wait for this cd to be released, I was relieved to realize that Hierophant is actually the fictional name of the band in the album's story line. It should come as no surprise to any listener of Shooter's Electric Rodeo show on Sirius that he has a very eclectic musical interest, and this is just an example of him trying something new. Luckily for us, it is amazing! I've probably played this thing a dozen times since I got it, and every time is as good as the first. (Although Stephen King's interludes are good, they don't hold up nearly as well to repeated listening.)

Boy was this a shocker. I had a totally different idea of what this was going to sound like; a country version of of "Radio KAOS" with Stephen King substituting for Jim Ladd. Very pleasantly happy to be found wrong. These guys take the same concept in a completely different direction. I'm a big fan of these kind of concept CDs when they are done right, and this one is. The music can't be categorized; Shooter goes in all different directions. Something for everyone here. Excellent guitar and song-writing and Stephen King holds the story together between every 3-4 tracks. This is the kind of CD I wish I could hear for the 1st time on every listen.

This album is great! It reminds me of Spirit's "Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus". Original and really rocks. The message is timely. Fight the New World Order!

Shooter is getting worse with every cd he puts out,buy his first 2 and forget the others, at least we have Hank III still

I'm not familiar with Shooter, I stumbled onto this record after reading a review/interview on the LA Times website. I was intrigued the more I read about the making and concept behind the work and the influences that went into the record. Yes, it does have influences of Floyd (and it helps that I love PF), but more than that, the album touches on current events and ideas that are not often heard in popular music. The record is a journey from start to finish, a well orchestrated trip. Like one person on here said, you will either love it or not care for it. I for one, am glad I purchased the record.

Oh Blue Christmas by A Fine Frenzy is a six song EP that leaves you wanting more but feeling grateful for what you got. The group's interpretations of three old Christmas standards (Blue Christmas, Winter Wonderland and Christmas Time is Here), and stellar performance of three new Alison Sudol songs (Redribbon Foxes, Winter White and Wish You Well) prove to be ethereal, haunting, unique and unforgettable. This is a Christmas CD that is beautiful enough to play year round and different enough to almost defy classification. I am buying it for everyone I know.

A Fine Frenzy's "Oh Blue Christmas" is truly something fresh and different for your holiday mix, or indeed any time of year; while there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of the songs covered on this EP - Blue Christmas, Winter Wonderland, and Christmas Time Is Here - the treatment they receive here goes above and beyond simply switching instruments around and having a different vocalist. They're still very recognizable, but you'll find them in a whole new flavor here. The album's two high peaks, in my opinion, are the original "Redribbon Foxes" and the cover of "Christmas Time Is Here"; these two even stand out as some of A Fine Frenzy's best achievements. "Redribbon Foxes" is nearly indescribable in its beauty and depth; it's full of a folk feel, and while uptempo, is a strange mix of melancholic and hopeful, touching on themes of fulfillment and emptiness atop haunting guitar and effects you may find familiar to One Cell In The Sea, their 2007 first release. It's a Christmas song, yes, but at the same time, it's universal to all seasons. "Christmas Time Is Here" of Charlie Brown fame receives a similar update to A Fine Frenzy's sound, again reminiscent of their first album in its sparse arrangement for piano, the occasionally guitar slide, and strings and brass in its latter half. The song is at once true to the original and something completely new. The other four tracks of the EP vary greatly, and are also quite remarkable; Blue Christmas retains melancholy but is also somewhat upbeat, and Winter Wonderland comes across lightheartedly. Winter White and Wish You Well are more of the Bomb in a Birdcage variety, being more instrument-heavy and uptempo, though no less thoughtful and emotive. There are various brass and string parts in each of these, sometimes jazzy, and even with a brief mariachi flavor in "Wish You Well"'s ending moments. This six song extended play is very impressive so soon after A Bomb in a Birdcage, and while the track list may seem short to some not familiar with EPs, it's enough to satisfy without being overbearing. Five stars as a Christmas effort and as an excellent addition to A Fine Frenzy's discography.

I listened to the sample of this cd on Amazon after I saw it on sale in the Target flier this morning, and I liked what I heard. I went to Target to purchase it on sale for $6.99. The spot on the shelf was already empty. I asked a clerk for help and he found the last one in the back. I'm so glad I found one, it is a very beautiful cd. These versions of a couple of traditional songs are performed in a slightly different refreshing way. I especially like Blue Christmas. Too bad there are only 6 songs on the album, but it really was worth it - I totally agree with the 2 other reviews. Buy it! The whole cd is great!

This is a real treat for A Fine Frenzy Fans. Following the acclaimed album 'One Cell in the Sea', and the hugely successful follow-up 'Bomb in a Birdcage', Alison Sudol and her band have now released this special EP of Christmas songs old and new. How does it compare with what went before? Well, the first thing to note is that this was co-produced by Alison Sudol herself, and in fact the result is particularly pleasing. The production is more under-stated than in the first two albums, giving more space to Sudol's quite extraordinarily beautiful voice; but at the same time the subtle instrumentation creates a particularly lyrical backdrop, and you can hear piano (of course), guitar, mandolin, trumpet, wurlitzer, cornet and French horn, as well as drums and percussion. Her band has been augmented, and the tracks suggest that the new team are working well together. And the songs? The three 'old' songs will be known to most, but still you will find them different from the classic versions. Listen to 'Winter Wonderland', for example. Of course we all know the song, but have we ever listened to the lyrics, really? Now listen to the way Sudol interprets them, bringing out some perhaps unexpected nuances and under-currents. In fact, under-currents perhaps are the theme of the CD: the ups and downs of Christmas, and the capacity of the season to reinforce sadness and disappointment as well as joy and contentment. Her own two songs 'Winter White' and 'Wish you well' are examples of that. But even if there were no other reasons for buying this EP (and there are plenty), a clincher is the song 'Redribbon Foxes', which in my opinion is her best song ever, even slightly eclipsing the amazing 'Almost Lover'. This song is not only extraordinarily lyrical and hauntingly beautiful, it expresses all the thoughts and emotions that can make this time of year both special and heart-wrenching. Sudol's soaring voice creates an unforgettable effect. If you can only afford one Christmas collection of songs this year, this one is it. Trust me.

It's Christmas music and it's Alison Sudol....how could this be bad? Well it can't; that's your answer. I only gave it 4 stars not because it isn't good music but because it's only got 6 songs. Then again it's only $6.99 at Target, so I guess 5 stars might be a reasonable grade. 3 of the songs are Christmas classics (1, 2, 6) and 3 of the songs are new originals (3, 4, 5). I would definitely recommend picking this up and additing it to your holiday season compilation. Tracklist: 01 - Blue Christmas 02 - Winter Wonderland 03 - Redribbon Foxes 04 - Winter White 05 - Wish You Well 06 - Christmas Time Is Here - This is a Target only release so go to Target now and pick it up. Don't pay one of the fools on here that are trying to charge $10+. It's only $6.99 at Target.

Adapted from the novel by Alan Paton, this 1951 film is set in South Africa and is a sad commentary about apartheid. It stars Canada Lee as a native aging Christian priest, who travels to Johannesburg in search of his sister and his son. He finds that his sister is a prostitute and his son is missing. After a long search with the help of his fellow priest, played by Sidney Poitier, they discover that his son is involved in a murder of a white man. Charles Carson plays the father of the murdered man, a bigot who changes his views as he reads some of his own son's writings about the inhumanity of apartheid. There is a major scene when he and murderer's father, both grieving, come face to face. Sidney Poitier is listed as a star but his role was actually quite small. He became star years later but his name on a video box does bring instant recognition. The theme is a good one and so is the story and the acting is superb.I did enjoy it but found it a bit slow and hard to follow. Perhaps it was the editing or just the way the film was transferred to video but it distracted from the high drama. It is worthwhile seeing, of course, and it was done well, but it just didn't grab me enough to give it my highest recommendation.

The subjects covered in this movie are still of great concern in today's world. It is well worth seeing. Makes one much more compassionate--makes one want to do somthing about African and world problems.

This movie tells the parallel stories of an old black priest and a old white farmer who leave their rural communities to travel to Johannesburg and the tragedies that draw them there. While the story is a moving portrait of that troubled time and place, it is still chillingly current. An encounter between the two men when they discover the extent to which their lives (and the lives of their sons) are related could as easily be about two men meeting in Colorado today. I wonder if today's fathers would do as well.

If westerns are your preference, you will not want to miss this famous fim, one of 3 made by John Ford at his height and celebrating the United States Cavalry. If they are not, you may find this a very tedious film. The merits are: - John Wayne at his very best, playing a high ranking commander on the brink of retirement and superbly conveying a man at the end of his career. - beautiful colour photography of Ford's favourite location, Monument Valley - a rousing score However, there are some drawbacks: - a subplot, a romantic triangle, played poorly by John Agar and Joanne Dru who is particularly superficial. - the usual Ford cliches encompassing tiresome Irish humour from Victor McLaglen and sentiment such as the cliched burial scene (Ford repeats himself). - a dreary screenplay with too much talk and not enough action for much too long. The print is superb and there are some extras such as cast lists and awards but they are cursory. There is also some home movies of Wayne and Ford's trip to Mexico.

It's a John Wayne Old Movie So of course it's wonderful. Love these old movies

I have always enjoyed John Wayne Movies and this one is one of my favorites. I am glad that Amazon has given me a chance to own this movie.

What is a western movie? You need actions and fast pace. You do not get any from this movie. There is not much plot. The pace is very slow. The old man is near retiring and it is very boring. The girl theme (Olivia Dandridge) is not entertaining. There is not much to say, just not a fan of it at all. Really boring. It is no comparison to High Noon, Hombre, Man of the West. For Indian Western, Broken Arrow is much better. Even the Searchers is better than this. John Wayne is really old in this movie.

In interviews, Patrick Wayne has stated that "The Duke" thought of this as his best Western, if not his best film. His catchphrase in this one has been further immortalized on TV by "Jethro Gibbs" (Mark Harmon) on NCIS. "Don't apologize, it's a sign of weakness." It's a guy flick, but some ladies may like it as there is a bit of romance. My lovely wife would rather do needlepoint than watch Westerns, so we won't share her thoughts here. All in all, the Wide-screen transfer was fantastically done, the panoramas shot in Monument Valley are some of John Ford's best stuff cinematically. Would have really suffered if it had been done in black and white. The color is exceptional. Another early John Wayne & John Ford collaboration in color I HIGHLY recommend is "The Quiet Man" (I'm Irish and watch it each March 17th with some Old Bushmill's on hand.) Buy it and ENJOY!

Works in the Rhinopro. Nice quality. Again, my gripe is with the battery usage in the 1000 model.

Sticks very well. So well in fact, it is a little hard to get the split paper off the back.

This was the second replacement keypad I've had to purchase for my Genie KEP-1. The flaw in them is in the ribbon cable which connects the keypad to the control module. For something that was meant to be mounted outdoors, the cable is susceptable to water damage. I think a more weatherproof connection should be designed for this appliance. I will give Amazon high marks for having this item in their inventory because if you have a KEP-1 you're going to need a replacement keypad at sometime.

Our old one (that looked identical) must have gotten moisture under the keypad and stopped working. We live in the fog. Everything else worked fine. After reading other reviews we calked around this keypad between the black plastic and gray plastic face, and again around the outside edge of the unit. It has been perfect.

The keypad on my garage door opener (Genie KEP-1) had stopped working. I have an older home, and the available replacement radio systems are not compatible with my existing system. The Genie site no longer stocks this product, and I was contemplating replacing the entire opener system at a cost of several hundred dollars. I searched the Amazon vendors on the off chance that replacement parts may still be available and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were. The order arrived in a few days, installation was a snap, and my garage door keypad and outdoor opener works perfectly at a fraction of the cost that I had anticipated.

Very good product. Have been using this keypad for many years. What i like most is you don't need batteries. They last about 3 - 4 years.

I found the receipt for the first one... it lasted 7 years. I guess I can spend twenty bucks for a new one every 7 years. Super easy replacement and no batteries to change.

Yuk! The only thing to "get" about this long movie is that it is awful.

sigh, like most things i write about on here i dont expect most of you to relate with me here. maybe i just dont have a taste for true foreign film, but i did not enjoy this movie and it had nothing to do with the fact that it was not fast paced, or that it was in black and white. i actually really enjoyed the look that the black and white film brought. it promised a lot to me i think that never felt satisfied. i did not find the mystery of the town too curious or mind boggling and the things i did see that were obvious to understand i did not feel better off knowing about it. i did not enjoy the character of the doctor who had some very disturbing demons haunting him it seemed. all i can do is share what i was able to take away from the film. the cinematography was vibrant and alive. the town was eerie but more in a sad neglected way, not really in a mysterious caper sort of way. i did not feel attached to any character as i kept having a feeling that somewhere along the story a disturbing trait of some kind was going to reveal itself about each of them. i dont need happy endings, or feel good characters, but this film leaves something to be desired. i appreciate the artistic vision, as i did in amelie (wasnt a fan of amelie either..) but the movie did feel pointless to me. if anyone knows a movie about german people that is not about war or crazy towns people id like to know.

So, I decided to see this movie after watching its review on At the Movies. What struck me was A.O. Scott's sour reaction to Haneke's films, for what he described was Haneke's tacit statement that European liberalism stems from a guilt over the Holocaust, the World Wars etc. I don't know if I'm missing something, but I didn't pick up on that at all - in either this movie or his previous one, Cache. I left the movie with more questions than anything. What is Haneke trying to say about the roots of German fascism? Is he trying to say anything at all? The only thing I took away from the movie was an eerie appreciation of the repressed sadism and evil percolating in this small town. Those kids are really creepy, and that physician is devoid of humanity. May be someone with a better understanding of existentialist or nihilist thought would more appreciate this film than me. Nonetheless it cultivates a spookiness, a malaise I haven't experienced in a film for a long time. Overall, it's worth seeing but jeewiz it felt really long.

I think it was back in November when I first saw a trailer for the Michael Haneke film Das Weisse Band (The White Ribbon). Initially the film appeared uninteresting but when I saw a trailer for it again in December I really paid attention to it and I thought to myself as soon as it opens up in Minneapolis, I will go see the film. I recently went to see The White Ribbon this month and I found myself constantly thinking about it after I left the theater. The time period of the film takes place just a year before World War I in a small German village. The village is plagued by a series of strange events that leads to human suffering. First the village's doctor is seriously injured when his horse trips over a thin wire. The doctor has to spend a lengthy time in the hospital. Another strange incident involves the baron's son who goes missing and is later found bound and tortured. A similar incident involving the midwife's mentally handicapped son occurs. Also a suicide, a barn burns down, and a young boy is restrained to his bed for admitting he self pleasuring himself happens through out the film. A lot of these strange events (not all though) somehow involves some of the children in the village led by the pastor's eldest daughter Klara. What makes this film so compelling and engaging is that the filmmaker does make this film a who done it? type of mystery but rather focus on human nature and just the levels of cruelty that some people (young and old) are willing to go. The one thing about the film that I didn't particularly care for was the narration. I could have easily done without that but I suppose if the film did not have the teacher's narration (when he is older) it would have left a void in the film. At times the film prodded a little too slowly but overall I enjoyed the film immensely.

Michael Haneke's "The White Ribbon" could be considered a mystery in that things happen for no apparent reason. The Doctor (Rainer Bock) breaks his arm after falling off his horse, which tripped over a wire strung between two trees. Not long after, someone abducts the eldest son of the Baron (Ulrich Tukur); he isn't found until the next morning, at which point it's discovered that he had been bound and beaten with a cane. A barn owned by the Pastor (Burghart Klaußner) is burned to the ground. The mentally challenged son of the Midwife (Susanne Lothar) is viciously attacked and almost blinded. Why is all of this happening? Are they acts of revenge? Are they punishments for the sin of weakness? Are they the beginnings of war, intolerance, and terrorism? Your guess is as good as mine. This movie isn't about solutions. What is it about, then? The story takes place in the days before World War I, when authority was not questioned and life was lived according to much simpler routines. The setting is a German farming community, which has maintained stability by not upsetting the "natural order"; it was expected that the Baron would own the land, the men would have control over their women and children, and the peasants would not have the same rights as their superiors. The Pastor, for example, raises his children not to love God so much as fear Him, and he continuously instills the idea that they must feel guilty for everything that they do. So as to remind them of the path of righteousness from which they have strayed, he ties a white ribbon onto their arms - a symbol of purity. But in spite of outward appearances, purity is not something to be found behind closed doors. The Doctor, so kind and caring with his patients, grossly mistreats the Midwife and sexually abuses his daughter on a regular basis. The Baron is a demanding man who does what he wishes with no regard for anyone else, including his own workers. But was he, in fact, responsible for the death of a local woman? Or was it an accident? The woman's husband, while grieving, knows that he can't prove it either way. The woman's son, on the other hand, is convinced of the Baron's guilt. This leads to an act of retribution that generates even more hostility amongst the villagers. By then, memories of the previous incidents rise to the surface. Suspicion spreads. Distrust builds. People suffer. All this is told from the point of view of the Schoolteacher, who narrates as an old man (Ernst Jacobi) and is seen as a young man (Christian Friedel). Even though he courts a shy young woman named Eva (Leonie Benesch), he's not a participant so much as an observer, and he begins the film with a direct statement: "I don't know if the story I want to tell you is entirely true. Some of it I only know by hearsay. After so many years, a lot of it is still obscure and many questions remain unanswered." Indeed, the film plays not as an intimate portrait but as an examination of the facts - cold, hard, and, to the best of its ability, honest. We see into the lives of the villagers, and yet we're emotionally and physically kept at a distance, which probably accounts for the film's beautiful yet haunting black and white photography. It would also account for specific shots that, in the hands of a different director, would reveal everything in graphic detail. Consider the scene in which the Pastor lashes his children as punishment for lying and disobedience; rather than actually show the act and its emotional aftermath, Haneke films the entire scene from outside the room with the door closed, and he ends it before the act is finished. Also consider a long shot of a coffin being wheeled out of the village on its way to the cemetery; the camera observes it from a far away location, never once cutting to the faces of the mourners flocking behind the carriage. This is not the kind of film that gives closure. It doesn't even pretend that such a thing exists. The real genius of this film, however, is that the intricate subtexts are in service of a relatively simple story. We may not have all the answers, but at the same time, the goal is not to be confusing; the goal is to present the facts as accurately as possible, at which point we come to our own conclusions. If there are any to come to. Maybe we're being told that, when a repressive way of life is preferred for the sake of maintaining the status quo, a different and more evil form of repression will eventually surface. It could be a totalitarian government. It could be religious extremism. It could even be genocide. Who knows? Anything is possible. "The White Ribbon" is a superb film - carefully paced and cleverly structured, mysterious but not gimmicky, subtle but not lacking substance.

This is not flat Ribbon Floss. It is common Reach Dentotape which is just really big tooth floss. I was expecting Ribbon Floss, and just wasted my money. Don't be fooled. Reach does not call this Ribbon Floss. I bought this product on Amazon as a pack of 4.

Amazon found this hard to find product at the best price! Thank you, again!

I have not recieved my dental tape yet and it has been 3 or 4 weeks since I ordered my tape! I am really quite upset about this! I don't like paying for something and then NOT GETTING IT!

I used to try to save a little money by buying store-brand dental tape. But the generic stuff has steadily declined in quality at all the major drugstore chains in New York City. This brand, on the other hand, remains effective and easy to use. But it is hard to find at the drug store, so I've been ordering it online.

This is the ONLY floss I can use on my teeth without shredding, breaking, or getting fibers stuck in between. I have very tight spaces, especially around the back molars, and this stuff works. Everything else, even Glide or good imitations of this product, can't do the job. I'll always use it!

bought the printer at Office Max who then promplty stoped selling it or the ribbons. Found these and they are working perfect.

This cartridge is no longer available in the stores you have to purchase it on line. Amazon has the best price. It was delivered in a timely matter. No problem with it.

This is exactly what i needed and it came in a timely manner and cost less.

You cant use a Casio Disc Title Printer without these thermal gems. Each allows you about 40 titles, depending on size. This was a great idea...no more using Sharpies on discs.

Good buy. Works great with my Casio CW 100 Title Printer, just like it is supposed to do.

Excellent quality. I've bought the "generic" ribbbons before and was not satisfied. This product has excellent print quality. Recommended.

I have ordered the generic ribbons before. They fell short in length of use. Am back to the real deal, they are cost effective

I like to buy the manufacturers ribbons when available due to poor luck with "clone" ribbons. Smart shopping brought the price down close to the cheapies and the quality of print and longevity of service are great.

What can I say, it is printer ink, and it does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Having gotten the same advise from 3 printer repair techs and also having seen the results of premature head wear, we ONLY use Genuine Okidata Ribbons. They last longer than the cheap copies and, according to the techs, they lubricate the pins and shafts in the head.

Bought these for my Canon Pixma MX700 and none of the cartridges worked. I tried to contact the seller but they never responded. It may seem like a great deal, but don't waste your money.

I purchased this product as it specifically listed my MP 520 printer. The cartridges are individually packed and clearly labeled. I started out replacing my black ink cartridge only as I mostly do B&W printing and my black ink was completely empty. The installation was a snap, and no spilled ink at all. I am very pleased with the quality of the black ink (no smears, sharp text even at fast printing speeds). I have not installed the color cartridges yet, so can't give any feedback on the quality of the color ink.

This variety of bread mixes was great for a little wedding gift. I made a basket with flavored butters, butter spreaders, and these mixes. I received rave reviews!

the bread mixes are perfect-i made every single loaf and they came better than perfect...thank you

I have tried these bread mixes before but this time the yeast package was old and the bread did not rise like it should.
