The Quad-Roller Massaging Cushion is easy to set up and begin operating. You just prop it on a chair or couch (there are straps you can use to tie it in place if your chair allows) and plug it in. There is a remote control pocket attached to the chair on the right. The remote is attached to the chair by a cord: in other words, it won’t be joining other remotes in your couch cushions, which is great. The remote control itself is laid out very sensibly, so that it’s very easy to operate.

There are two types of massage, shiatsu and rolling, either of which can be used with or without heat. Shiatsu massage is a deeper massage and feels like a knobby ball is being rolled around your back. Rolling massage is gentler and feels like wheels are rolling up and down alongside your spine, which is pretty much just what’s happening: there are two rollers on either side of the chair. The horizontal distance between them can be adjusted using the width button. (There is a demo feature on the remote which gives a quick run-through of all the cushion’s settings.)

Both types of massage, shiatsu and rolling, can be concentrated on the upper or lower back or set to massage the full back. In addition, in the shiatsu mode you can concentrate the massage on a single spot, adjusting it using up and down buttons.

I haven’t tried other massage cushions/chairs, so I can’t compare this product with the competition. Nor can I speak to the product’s endurance, as I haven’t used it yet for a long time. But these are the cushion’s pros and cons as I see them:

PROS:
– Easy to operate
– Sensibly designed remote control
– Remote can’t get lost
– Light weight
– Auto shut-off after 15 minutes
– It feels pretty darn good

CONS:
– The rollers don’t go up high enough to reach my shoulders (I’m 5′9"). People with upper back problems may not find this cushion helpful.

I used to wake up every morning with a stiff back, feeling like my spine would splinter if I twisted at all. That doesn’t happen anymore, but boy would I have wanted this chair then, particularly the rolling full-back massage.

The video should give you a good sense of how the chair operates. Enjoy.

I have been massaging folks for over 30 years… used all kinds of oils, lotions, and essentials. I must say I dreamed of an oil that would heat nicely in my hands and last long enough to finish an area before getting sucked into the skin… THIS IS IT.
The oil arrived in perfect condition with handy accessories. Everything worked perfectly. The oil is the BEST I have EVER used. It lasted for the duration of the therapy allowing for long motion while reducing friction. I seldomly had to re-oil any areas to complete the therapy.
Clients seemed to enjoy the oil as it does hydrate the skin nicely. I specifically asked if anyone had issues… blemishs or other problems. There was not one complaint. When all done, any residue washed off skin or linens easily.

Almost exactly two years after the D80 was announced comes its replacement, the rather predictably named D90. The D80 has been one of Nikon’s quiet successes, and even today, despite being positively Methuselah-like in digital camera terms it continues to sell and often makes its way into our top 10 most clicked on cameras. Because it looks so similar to the D80 the D90 appears at first glance to be one of those rather subdued incremental upgrades, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find there’s plenty to keep Nikon fans happy.

Nikon D90 DX Digital SLR Highlights

Nikon Digital SLR image quality
Exceptional image quality is a prerequisite for all Nikon D-SLRs, and the D90, featuring a new 12.3-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, fulfills that essential performance requirement with ease. Borrowing a host of technologies, including low-noise, high ISO performance, from the award-winning D300, the D90 will change the notion of what‘s expected from an enthusiast D-SLR.

New D-Movie Mode Features 720p HD cinematic quality
The D90’s creative potential explodes with the capability to record smooth 24fps, motion JPEG sound movie clips.

I just received my sandals. They are much cuter than I expected them to be. They are almost true to the colors that are shown. Beautiful shoes. I ordered 4 pairs for my daughter and myself. She fell in love with them right away. They are comfortable also. We wore them all day in Jamaica will touring. Highly recommended.

Just received the Guess Newbury Heels which I thought would be cute but they turned out to be not so cute after all. First of all- the leather strap is so thin that it was really hard to take out of the buckle much less try to put it back in the actual buckle closure after putting the shoes on. The side view wasn’t that bad but the front view of the shoe made my feet look wide which they aren’t. I then put them in the box so I could return them and tried to close the buckle but again its really hard to buckle the strap in- so I gave up. And, just so you know these fit slightly smaller than the size indicates so go 1/2 size up. I usually wear a 7 1/2 but these were even a bit small for me. : )
