My first softbox I've had to assemble vs the umbrella type. I had no issues. The rods were tricky the first time I put it together, but I didn't have any issues. The way I do it is I do the 4 reds first working next on the opposite side. Then I do the others in the same fashion. I hold the speedring with my right hand, and work the rods with my left. The velcro is tight, but it needs to be. It is also not impossibly tight. I have no issues closing the back. I just stretch the top of each flap to get them to hold together. Then I stick my hand through the speedring, and connect the velcro all the way down. I did put it together with the speedring upside down once. It probably takes me a total of 2 minutes to put it together without the diffusers. The first time it took me about 5 minutes.

Disclaimer - I did not purchase this robot on amazon but on the iRobot website, so I can't say anything about delivery, although in my experience deliveries from amazon always arrive on time or before that and in perfect condition.

A good friend sent "What Color Is Your Parachute?" in 1977 with a paper clip around a group of pages of the Preface (or Introduction as the case may have been). His note said, "If you don't read any more than this, at least read the part I've marked with the paperclip." It was one of the best gifts I've ever received. I'd just been shown the gate by my employer and was living far from friends and family, newly married, and just generally in deep [stuff].

I cannot believe anybody in their right mind is still buying this book. Collins' analysis was flawed from the outset when it was published in 2001 and 11 years later it has proven to be a failure. Four of his so called "GREAT" companies are Fannie Mae (mortgage scandal), Circuit City (declared bankruptcy), Wells Fargo ($25B bailout) and Gillette (bought by Proctor & Gamble). See a pattern? Great, huh?

I was so excited about this vacuum after seeing the fancy commercials. I read the negative reviews but decided that since I have only two carpeted rooms (others are hardwood and tile) the short battery life wouldn't matter. To my disappointment, the vacuum didn't even clean the two rooms of Berber carpet and the area rugs. It spits fibers right back out and yes, after repeated roll overs trying to pick up what was spit back out, the battery goes dead. What a rip-off, I'm taking it back to Best Buy today for a full refund. Maybe I bought a lemon and I'm tempted to buy another one because it's lightweight and I like the design. I don't know yet, but this one is going back.

We have truly enjoyed this chair. We do not have a dining table (it is just 3 of us, and we are always on the go). We have only used the chair at home. My daughter does really well in it. We have been using it since 6 months and she is now 19 months.. still going strong and in great condition.
