Body Solid RF36T Treadmill and Equipment Mat
$49.99
I have very little to add...this carpet is very nice, does exactly what is intended, and feels comfortable to the feet walking on it. If you get a treadmill, I would highly recommend this product.

Overland Equipment Donner Bag (Bracken)
$55.00
We travel a few times a year to large cities both in the US and abroad. London, Managua, Guatemala, DC, etc. I've tried several travel purses on various trips, looking for the right one to carry all my stuff, but not be too bulky or awkward. This trip to DC, my mother loaned me her Donner bag, and I can say it was heavenly!

Everything had a place--a slot for my book on the plane and my tickets right next to it. Holders for sunglasses, pens, cell phones and more. Inside it was roomy--enough room to hold my wallet, my camera and a full sized hair brush, plus lots of extra room. (I hate digging to get to what I need--I want to reach right in and grab without looking--making a well organized but not overcrowded bag invaluable.) Metro passes and hotel keys slipped right into a small pocket in the organizer--quickly reached with the easy open front. (Yet not so easy a pickpocket could do it without you knowing.) And the water bottle holders were wonderful--we were able to slip two soda cans into each holder, making it able to carry four cans at a time. We never did carry that many, b/c I didn't want to lug around a lot of weight, but it could if we needed it to. Since we travel to England a lot, I can see where the side pockets are going to be very handy in carrying a small umbrella!

The strap was sturdy and adjustable, so I could sling it over my shoulder or carry it more securely across my chest/shoulder. Both ways were comfortable. I believe that any time spent digging or hunting through your purse in public is just a chance for theives to spot what you have worth stealing, so I loved how intuitive the pocket placements were. Again, it was a grab and go situation. And the purse hung nicely close to my body, making it extra safe.

I loved this purse so much that I hated returning it! I'm going out to buy one today!

Working Guide to Process Equipment
$79.95
There is a good reason this book has been updated into a third edition. It is a great book; well written, easy to read, and a logical flow. Norman Lieberman has a habit of writing with a sort of folksy everyman approach to subjects that could be rather dry otherwise. He and Elizabeth have done an outstanding job on this book and I honestly treated it as fun reading with two or three chapters a night until time to turn off the light.

His troubleshooting episodes are like detective stories. It makes me wish I had been a process engineer so I could have had the fun of working with Elizabeth and him.
