I just received and installed the crossbars today so it's a little early to rate how they function. This review is more for assembly and packaging and overall appearance. I ordered the crossbars on a Saturday and received notice that they were being shipped on Monday. They arrived on Thursday so it is what I expected. When I opened the package I found that the bars were securely wrapped with a plastic material and the ends had a foam covering to protect them. Howver, there was no protection inside the box. They basically just kind of rattled together inside the box. Since the individual bars were wraped there didn't seem to be any damage. There was a small plastic package containing the mounting screws. The odd part about that is that there were 7 screws inside the plastic bag and one screw was floating loosely inside the box. The package with the 7 screws was sealed so I don't know how the one screw was just loosely in the box. As usual, the instructions were kind of vague. They did mention that the longer bar goes in front and the shorter bar is the rear. However it did not mention that the mounting screw locations were different for the left and right hand sides. To be fair, it does state this in the Amazon listing but not in the mounting instructions that came in the box. You have to measure the distance between the screw holes to determine which is the left side and which is the right, and also measure the length of the bars to determine which is the front and which is the back. It would have saved some trouble if the factory would have marked the bars with a little sticky which state "front left" and "rear left". That would have solved some installation questions and simplified installation. The overall installation was pretty straightforward once you determined front and rear and left and right. Just line up the holes and screw in the eight mounting screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.

It always contain thoughtful and well-written articles and information. Some of the humorous pieces are wonderful and, of course, the cartoons are almost always winners.

I do a lot of music typesetting for academic publications, and Finale has been my tool of choice for more than a decade. However, I am quickly running out of patience with Makemusic, because each expensive upgrade contains bugs which they simply don't bother to patch. I became so exasperated with the "stuck key" bug in Finale 2010 that I plunked down the money to upgrade to this, only to find that graphical exporting to EPS is so broken here as to make it unusable. (Specifically, when you convert notation to an EPS, the noteheads and stems are all misaligned.) So I left 2010 installed on my system and I still use it more often than this.

This is a great joke gift I just think it is a little pricey for being a gag gift . . . actually a lot pricey.

This book was in better condition than I expected given the price. I feel that I got a good deal and would gladly do business with this seller again.

It did nothing at all, very disappointed tired of not getting results when you try and try. I am a 55 year old with hypothyroidism and the weigh is never ending always yo-yoing but never where I should be number wise. It really get depressing I think most lost was 4 lbs and it comes back on, I went b all the directions and no good results,it should not cost a lot to want t loose weight either expensiv
