I received my 2012 Pod 5 as a warranty replacement for a 2011 Pod 5 (cracked chainstay), which is my only other modern road bike. I don't have the broad base of experience needed to give an objective comparison, but I've put nearly 1,700 miles on this bike, and here are some things to consider.

I have been using this product for years and generally love it because it both holds and gives my fine hair some volume. Unlike some other brands, this product usually has a pleasant, fruity scent. I don't know if something went wrong or if this batch went bad, but I opened the taffy to use it and it smells as if it spoiled or went rancid. This is incredibly disappointing because I am usually pleased with the product. I think it will still work, but I worry that I will be walking around smelling like rancid peanuts. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

This particular unit was made in Mexico, as is the replacement that I received that is working just fine right now. Apparently this one was defective though. After completion of the initial setup there was a 14 inch x 2 inch blocky and pixilated rectangular splotch just off center at the top right of the screen that looked sort of like a leftover artifact from the initial setup screen. There were also a few thin red horizontal lines that ran the entire width of the screen just below that and 3 thin vertical lines also. I was quite surprised since I have several Samsung products that I have purchased over the past years and have never had a single problem of any kind with any of them up until now.

You know, there have been a lot of bad B-movies that have come down the pipeline in recent years, but none of them had the right combination of characteristics to make them GOOD bad B-movies. This one truly does have it all. It is the best worst film you will ever see. Expect vampire demons, random side-stories about pimps and prostitutes, 'incredible' acting, fan film quality special effects and script, and boxing for no reason. Also, GODPUNCH. And warp tunnels. And an angel with a lightsaber. It's the best. I was going to rate it four stars, because some parts of the movie dragged on a bit, but then I realized... if it was going to cover all possible ground for a bad movie, it had to cover that, too. The soundtrack, by the way, is epic. Even when epic is completely inappropriate. This film is full of surprises, and takes itself COMPLETELY seriously. This is a geek movie night extravaganza.

I ordered the Timbuk2 Command Laptop Messenger Bag (Black, Large) that was Sold by: Amazon.com LLC... paid $103.00
