![]() LARGE VINYL ANATOMICALLY CORRECT CAUCASIAN BOY BABY DOLL $44.95 The major problem with this doll is that it's head keeps popping off. I am to the point where I am going to have to glue it on, thus making it not moveable. ![]() Protect & Correct SPF 15, 1.7-Ounce Bottle $60.00 I use this product every morning as a base for my makeup. It has a reflective quality that makes skin look luminescent. I originally bought it to combat some small sun spots on my face. After one month, they are significantly less noticeable, and I feel comfortable enough to go sans-makeup again! Since this moisturizer is pricey, I use my normal facial moisturizer first, then just apply enough 'protect and correct' to cover my face, AM only. I have used this product for over a month, and the bottle is still going very strong. I can't see in the bottle, but it feels pretty full still. The sales lady said that with one pump per day, it should last ~6 months. I can't speak to that yet, but I am happy with the value so far. I will definitely purchase this product again. ![]() Orion 6x30 Right-Angle, Correct-Image Finder Scope $54.95 Good quality optics and solid mechanical design. The spring-loaded set screw design makes adjustment a breeze. (If you've used the standard 3- or 6-set screw type you'll feel the improvement immediately.) The item did not fit my specialized purpose. I wanted a larger finder to replace the tiny, unusable one supplied with the classic Meade ETX-90. The tube of this finder fit into the holder of the ETX-90 with a little forcing, but the mechanics did not work out. The longer tube length placed the finder prism too near the telescope eyepiece. Second was the problem inherent in all right-angle finders--that you must first sight down the outside of the tube to get your general orientation. (Why doesn't a manufacturer design a simple notched sight, like on an old rifle, into the outside of the finder tube?) For the ETX-90, the initial sighting can involve a very contorted crook of the neck to get into position. The advantage of the right-angle finder, that you can look comfortably from a side position, is thus negated. However, for the right application this could be a good small finder. I use the big brother of this one, the 9x50 supplied with my Orion 10" Dobsonian, to good effect. A right-angle finder seems most applicable to a reflector set-up where you observe from the side of the main tube. With modern go-to and push-to designs, you can often get by with just a red-dot finder to locate the alignment stars. However, the wide-angle view through a magnified finder, especially a 9x50, can give a breathtaking overview. For alignment the old-fashioned way, by star hopping, it is a necessity, esp.in a light-polluted sky. |
