Review title: Poor Mark Product review: Mark Svenvold fails at his attempt to write an entertaining or informative book because of his misguided derision toward his subjects. It is more important for Mr. Svenvold to ramble at length about long dead and obscure authors, The Weather Channel, and global warming than to explain anything about storms or storm chasing. The whole book smells of the insecurities of an out of place liberal loud mouth who lives in the grip of fear that someone, somewhere might be receiving more attention than he is and might, God forbid, actually be doing something they love with their lives. Maybe if he is so concerned with the environment, he should have saved several pounds of paper and just stayed home.

Review title: No diaper pail contains THAT smell. Product review: In my experience there is no diaper pail that truly controls that diaper odor. We prefer this diaper pail because it is as good as the more expensive systems without the expense of costly refills. We set out a solid air freshener such as Magic Citrus near or even in the pail (not the trash bag) and we have no complaints.

Review title: Nothing but problems after first year Product review: I purchased this during grad school to keep my massive thesis files organized and safe in case something happened to my laptop. Grad school is two years, and right around the start of my second year, when this drive was a year old, it started giving me problems. I would plug it in and could feel/hear it "working," but only the red light would come on - not the blue. I tried different ports, different cords, different computers...nothing. The next day, it would work just fine. I was able to get another one for my school files but I have been intermittently able to use this drive. I foolishly transferred all my photos, documents and music to this when I got a new computer because I was on a tight budget. It took me a dozen tries before I was able to access my data. Now that it's off, I don't know what to do with this $200 piece of junk.
