Cycle Torch Shark 550R USB Rechargeable Bike Light Set- Bicycle LED Head Light With Removable Battery- FREE CHARGING TAIL LIGHT Included- 550 Lumens Front Light, Fits ALL Bikes, Quick Release by Cycle Torch
5.0 out of 5 stars Great set., December 2, 2017
Both the headlight and taillight are built with quality products that will stand up to the test of time.

The headlight has 4 modes and are easily selectable. Holding down the button will tun the light on and off and clicking the button will change the setting. I love that these are rechargeable and I just found out that the battery inside is replaceable but makes up about half the cost of the set itself. I am not sure about the tail light. This set comes with both a long and short micro USB cable for recharging. Not quite sure why they are different sizes. Anyways recharging is as easy as plugging them in. I guess for a longer ride i could also use a battery pack plugged into the lights to make sure I have enough time with them.

These lights can bee seen from a good distance are fairly lightweight. The mounting hardware is good for the most part but I am a little concerned that the tail light mount will break it I tug on it too hard when removing the light. The rubber bands do a great job not only getting the right fit but create friction so that the light stays right where you want it.

Overall I like these a lot.

Gomer Hat gave 5 stars to: Coding Board Game

Gomer Hat reviewed:

Coding Board Game: Rover Control by Coding Board Games
5.0 out of 5 stars The challenge that keeps on challenging., November 9, 2017
This is the second of games in the //Code programing game series. Having played with the On The Brink game I was familial with what to expect as far as instructions go and had a better understanding of what the game was trying to get me to accomplish. I also knew that reading the instruction first was going to make a whole lot of difference. The videos online are a good help but in my opinion you should read the instruction first then try it out and if you still have questions then watch the videos.

I love the concept behind this game. The beginner level is a good start and working through them one to master them in order is very fun. They seem to build on each other so stretches your mind and slowly brings up your level of understanding. Just to keep things from becoming frustrating they have included a solutions manual which I have found beneficial not because it gives me the answer but because it helps me see where I have gone wrong and allows me to better teach and understand the steps I need to take. I have not made it to the advanced or expert levels yet but look forward to getting there.

Another characteristic of this game that I love is that although it is teaching about programming it is played completely screen free and has a fairly minimalistic approach as far as supplies and pieces.

From packaging to play I have no issues with it so I rate this game a 5 out of 5 stars.

Coding Board Game: Robot Repair



Image provided by JustinTime

I love the //Code programing game series. This is the third of 3 in the set and it is just as well done as the others.

Much like the others in the set once you read the instructions and walk through the example it starts to make sense and off you go. Start at the beginning and work your way through each one in order. They build on each other and far as thought process goes so skipping around will be more challenging if you don’t have the understanding from the previous ones.  This game is great for those wanting to learn Boolean logic with single or collaborative game play.

This set has more pieces than the other sets but the box is set up so that it keeps them organizes with the pieces in the bottom trays and the books and game boards on top. The boxes in the set are very nice looking and look very impressive when all put on a shelf together.


I can’t say enough about this great programming game. 5 out of 5 stars or another great product from ThinkTime.

Coding Board Game: On The Brink



Image provided by JustinTime

On the Brink is a fascinating and mind challenging game.  It is the first in the series of 3 so this is my first expereince with //CODE programing games. At fist I opened up the box and saw how minimal it was compared to what I originally expected. After starting to read the first 3 paragraphs in the book and being referred to a video on the Web decided to give it a try.  This was both good and bad. The video was good to help me understand how the boards worked and how to lay out the cards but it was bad because it looked easy and I wanted to give it a try. The video showed how to do challenge #1 which made sense mostly so I decided to go ahead to challenge #24 which is the first of the advanced challenges. I was now confused how to get my robot to move the way I wanted it to so back to the book I went. After reading though the instruction manual it all made sense…imagine that.

The instruction booklet is invaluable and laid out well. ALL the parts that were confusing me before reading it is included and I had NO QUESTIONS after reading it. Things like-the program consists of both cards on the colored panel, or you have not won unless you complete the programed movement and landed on the finish square or you only start a new programed move AFTER the robot has stopped movement on the square THEN that square tells you which program to use next.

This will be fun for both me and my kids to try out all the challenges. The concept is very basic but stretches your mind as you progress though the challenges. I love that programing is being taught through a game that is not on the computer. Although it is good for kids to know how to use a computer they also need to know problem solving skills both independently but also as a team if they are working on this with others. It creates an atmosphere where they will have to discuss what they think the right movements are and explain themselves in a way that others can understand.


5 out of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very durable, November 6, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
These are great cables. I love that they are braded cables that seem to be very durable and don’t kink lik the thinner more rubbery feeling one you get woth your device. Between the kinking and splitting of the the rubber jacket and the tips breaking a wire the OEM cables have not been very reliable. This set is a great replacement. I got the set of 3 that are 6 feet long so they reach where others wouldn’t. for instance, these are more than long enoguh to reach the computer that sits under out desk without having to stretch or starin the cable. I also can use one by my side of the bed and give the other to my wife to use. I did have one of these on our kithcen counter but with the long length it got in the way tomuch so a shorter one was put there.

I have had no issue whatsoever with these. I would buy more to put around the housebut the wife doesn’t want a cable hanging around every plug we have. Oh well. I don’t forsee having to buy replaements for these but if the need arises Agvee offers a 1-year warranty-free product guarantee to replace the defective cables meaning they take full ownership and responsibility.

5 out of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to my video gear, October 31, 2017
I love this set! I have been looking for this for a while and found this set better then I had expected. It comes with a good length of cord to start with but then it has a3 foot and even longer 10 foot extension cord, and an adapter (I am assuming) along with 3 extra windscreens. This lavalier is easy to use and with the case on my phone it does not interfere. I love that I can get a better sound when recording video and get the mic where I want it. It does not get rid of all the background noise but it does focus on the sound closes to it.

I also love that is comes with a nice carry bag to put all the items together in as I pack it around along with little Velcro straps to keep the different cables wound up neatly without them being tangled or bent.

5 out of 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars I really like these lights for a number of reasons, October 31, 2017
I really like these lights for a number of reasons. First of all the are RECHARGEABLE!!! In the past when I was having to use bike lights every night I was stuck with rechargeable batteries with were both a pain to use and heavy. These lights have fixed that problem. They are lightweight and easy to take on and off the bike. This set comes with two charging cables which is handy but make sure you have to port available so you can charge at the same time. I love that just clicking the lights give you different light intensities or patterns. Also because they are lightweight they do not bounce around.

The only drawback to these is that they are not as bright as the night owl so make sure they will work for your environment. i can see across my 1/3 acres lot but they don't seem to have enough power to through a lot of light in front of you if you are ridding and a moderate or high speed. They will however catch drivers attention to you and warn them of your location.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product., October 31, 2017
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
See video on Amazon.com  This is another great product from babywombworld full of features some of which I did not expect.

If runs off of a dedicated RF signal between the camera and monitor units which means that you don’t need to load one more app on your phone to view the camera. The monitor is great because it has a sand for tilting it upright, has an AV output so it can be connected to a TV with eh included RCA cable and can be battery operated for a few hours and plugged in the remainder of the time which will also recharge the battery.

The display itself has a lot of information on it without getting in the way of its main purpose of mentoring the child. The display lets you know the signal strength, which camera you are viewing (can pair up to 4 of the same type of camera), if you are using the VOX feature (Voice Operated Threshold meaning what level of sound activated the monitor in this case), and battery level. There are also light indicators in on the top to show that they unit is powered on and the sound level indicator.

The menus of this monitor is very useful as well. It has features like volume control for both the level of the monitor as well as for the volume of the lullabies and talk back function. You can control the contrast of the monitor, select the build in lullabies to be played from the camera to sooth the child, You can also use a digital zoom to zoom the camera in twice as far as normal, set the VOX sensitivity so that the monitor only turns on when it senses a certain level of noise which is very nice at night so you don’t have to have the light shining in your eyes all the time and select which or up to 4 cameras you want to view (or have it rotate automatically between them all) as well as select the room tempature setting (C or F)

Comparison to the other babywombworld camera we have.
This one-
• Pros:
o has a dedicated monitor for the camera
o The camera senses room tempature
o The dedicated monitor has all the controls and menus for the camera
o Two power plugs come with the unit-one for the camera and one for the monitor
o Does not have a light on the front of it that lights up the room like a night light
o Monitor and camera will function for a few hours with a loss of power
• Cons:
o Can only be viewed from up to 300 feet away
o Monitor can only be unplugged for a few hours
Other unit-
• Pros:
o Can be viewed on an iPhone or android device with the included app-no extra monitor needed
o Camera can be set up on a network to be viewed away from home
o Pictures and videos from the camera can be saved to your device or to a memory card in the camera (not included)
o Camera can be set up with other triggers (not completely sure what that means)
• Cons:
o All connection is lost if power is not available
o Night light on the front of the camera cannot be turned off
o App does not store the correct time

Overall I give this 3.5" LCD Digital Wireless Video Baby Monitor a 5 out of 5 stars. If I could make one change it would be the possibility of making the power cord longer so that there is more freedom in where the camera is placed without having to use an extension cord.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
See video on Amazon.com  I bought these to try our on my hiking boots which I also use for mowing and other yard and ladder work. I have having to take my shoes off when going into the house to us the bathroom or get a drink but if I don’t then there is a trail of cut grass or dirt that follows me.

The no tie elastic laces allow me to take my boots of fairly easily and put them back on again without much effort. You will notice that the top two levels have hooks. At first I thought that would make it so they would not work but I realized that I just keep the laces as tight as I want them to be and I just stretch the laces to catch the hooks. Very simple and easy.

These laces are a good size even for my boots. The ends are hard so that they push through the holes without fraying and then are cut off to make the correct length without too much extra and snapped into the little black piece which keeps them from pulling through the tightener button/spring lock.

An added feature is the fact that they include a reflective strip int hem so if you are using them after dark you have a little added visibility.

I love these and am getting another set of No Tie Elastic Shoelaces for my sneakers I wear everyday to work.

Back Posture Corrector Brace by TOWISH




I like the posture brace a whole lot better than my previous one. This has nice padded straps with velcro that make adjustments easy and comfortable. This design is much more superior to the traditional figure 8 style which also helps with no more chaffing on my armpits. Take the recommendation to only wear this for 15-20minutes to start out and work your way up incrementally to not more than 6 hours over time. Believe me 8 hours straight after only a week or two is NOT a good idea. This makes a huge difference you can feel right away but you have to give your body time to get the muscle memory. 5 out of 5 stars for quality materials and comfortable fit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price., October 18, 2017
I have wanted a fitness tracker for a number of years now. This is not a well known brand but it seems to do the job fairly well. I say fairly well because I am not sure how accurate the step counts are. I wear a clip on one on the pocket of my pants and I wear this one on on my writst. Few weeks back I wore both while mowing the lawn. The clip on one counted 3,000 steps more than this did on my wrist. I tell you this so that you are aware that certain tasks won’t be counted.

The sleep feature on this is cool but I am not really too sure how it knows whether I am awake or a sleep or how it knows if the quality of sleep is light, heavy or REM.

I love the simple wristband but it is challenging to get it tight enough sometimes (in the dark) for the pulse to be able to work right. Speaking of the pulse feature. This is really cool and fairly accurate. The other day I have my pulse checkded as part of the screening process for donating plasma. Once it came up on their equipment I checked my fitness tracker and sure enough they both had the same number.

One more feature that is really handy to have is the notifications that pop up from my iPod. Since I have it connected it letts me know when I get a new email or message. It also reminds me to to take a break of an activity or that I have been not moving enough. The app that you are told to download is fairly basic and simple to use. It not only tells you your stats fro the day but you can look at your heistory as well.

As far as battery life goes, on a full charge I can wear this for a full week before I have to charge it if the pulse sensor is not acctive. If it is on constantly then the battery life is shortened by a few days.

One thing that I would most like to change is the charger. My preference would be to be able to use a micro USB to connect to it instead of the cheaply made clamshell style charger that is uses. It feels like ti will break in half at the hinge after too many times being opened and shut.

I give this a 4 out of 5 stars since it is good overall but needs some improvements.

This is another great dinosaur for our toy collection. This is not just a jun toy for boys like some may think but my little 20 month old girl likes to play with them as well. due to the sounds and light it is a great toy for a wide range of ages as well. My 12 year old would play with this all day if I let him.

Like the other dinosaur we have from this same company, we had to use a screwdriver to remove a screw to insert 3 AA batteries and snap the tail on to make this toy complete.

It has spikes and a tongue light up as well as makes roaring noises and has a walking movement.  Since we also have the t-rex my little one already knew how to turn it on. This does not have wheels on the feet like the t-rex does so it walks well on the carpet as well as hard surfaces.

If I could make one improvement to this toy it would be to have a volume control that would allow for the volume to be turned down or off as desired. After just a few minutes of this noise it could get annoying depending on your tolerance level. If you add more than one dinosaur to the mix then this could be even more of an issue. We knew it made lots of sound when we bought it so that is not an issue for us but a volume control would still be nice.


5 out of 5 stars.

See video on Amazon.com  I gave this to my 20 month old to play with for the first time and she wasn't sure what to do with it. It is rated on the box for mo.12 m+. I assume it means 12 months and older.

having said that i still really like this toy. Others I have seen have two spheres that just snap together which makes it easy to open and take apart but also means that it may open if dropped spilling out all the pieces. I look at that as both a positive and negative. This sorter ball has a track on it so you have to twist it to open and separate it and also to put it back together. Again this feature is both a positive and negative.

It is a positive because it keep the pieces from spilling out if dropped or if too much pressure is put on the two sides but is a negative because a child this young can't get it opened.

personally I like the twisting to keep it together. To remedy the issue of my little one not being able to open it i just took the two sides apart and put them on the floor for her to explore how to put the right shapes in their holes.

I really like the many different shapes and colors but some of the shapes are harder then others to put in. This again changes as the child grows. They may not have the dexterity to get the stars or odd shaped parallelograms in the the hole but with time they will develop that skill which will keep this toy more interesting to them longer but may cause some frustration in the beginning.

Putting the two spheres like a bowl will allow them to sort by similar colors or just picking them up and putting them in which is what my little one likes to do at this stage.

As pointed out in the video one parallelogram in particular goes in with the hollow side up instead of the flat colored "top" of the piece. I would like to see this changed.

I give this a 4 out of 5 because it doesn't function as a complete toy for the age group it advertises but is still a great toy.
