Even though I bought these in a clearance sale, I had no idea that some would be defective. Three of the pans, when we were unpacking them from the box, were bent and misshapen. I bought the set at the beginning of the summer and moved my son into his apartment at the end of August, so I didn't know there was a problem. The rest of the set was fine and I liked the sturdy, glass lids. Otherwise, I learned that sometimes, you get what you pay for. My son will be stuck with bent pans that don't fit the lids. Very disappointed.

Somehow, moisture always manages to get where we don't want it. And it can do a lot of damage -- like fostering mold and mildew. DampRid is just the thing for getting rid of it. You simply place the DampRid container in the affected area, and in a matter of hours, you will see that the DampRid crystals are disappearing and the bottom portion of the container is filling with liquid. This is the moisture that has been drawn out of the air. I bought this 4-lb tub thinking I would use it to refill a few small DampRid containers I've saved from earlier purchases. But I see that if I don't want to transfer the DampRid crystals, I don't have to -- the tub can work as an absorbing container. I probably WILL transfer the crystals, since the smaller containers are handier. But if you had a large area -- like a basement -- to take care of, this big tub would be just the ticket. (Naturally, you need to towel up as much liquid as you can before turning to the DampRid ... it's for the moisture in the air that you CAN'T mop up.)

Items are terrible, skill runes are terrible, economy is terrible. Botters have been exploiting the game via gold farming since day one. Trade scams are rampant. Blizzard has addressed almost nothing to this point except fine tuning the RMAH to line their pockets (although they did manage to nerf a popular attack speed stat and hotfix an invulnerable wizard bug that the community used for six weeks before the designers had a clue). This game is an embarrassment to the series. The original Blizzard North ascended to greatness listening to the people playing their games; this version tells people how to have fun, acts almost as immaturely as the pi$ed off kids on their forums and continues to ignore major design flaws. No pandas for me.
