    Perfect tetherball
    You don’t have to spend a lot of money on a good tetherball. This is perfect. Item as described. Very colorful. Easy to install.

    Tetherball
    Great ball. The rope is very long so it will work on any pole.

    Lots of Fun
    We sunk an old portable basketball pole in the ground and bought this tetherball. Very fun!

    A great new toy for my kids!
    We have had a tetherball pole in our backyard for three years. I never could find a replacement ball. I was excited to get this one. It is great to have another activity for them to do outside.

    No Show
    I should have been suspicious given previous reviewers. This item never showed up. Amazon was good about refunding the shipping costs. I will have to go to another vendor to get my daughters gift.

    You Get What You Pay For
    I placed the main unit in the kitchen and the other 2 units in upstairs bedrooms. I had absolutely no problems with reception. I gave the item 3 stars because, before the year was out, one of the units upstairs stopped working and we could not repair it. Be sure to know your warranty and to keep your receipt. This is a relatively inexpensive, model, so I think I got what I paid for.

    Junk
    These intercoms do not work as advertised. They worked while plugged in to some outlets but not others. When they did work, the background noise/static was at an unacceptable level. I’ll eat the restocking fee just to be rid of them.

    IT’S WIRELESS - TO A POINT…
    Thanks to Office Tech’s detailed review we were able to trouble-shoot our system! We have three units that we hoped to loop together in our Kitchen, Downstairs Bath, and Upstairs Hallway, but were only able to get the Kitchen to speak to both. We tried swapping units with the exact same results, we tried different random locations and just couldn’t figure out why some would work and not others. We were ready to give up when I found this review! We did not know that they transmitted along electrical wires either, but with that information, my husband knew that all bathrooms were on the same loop, so we simply moved the Upstair Hallway intercom to the Upstairs Bathroom and all three units work together!! I spent three days brainstorming what the heck it could be and am happy to have them work in the general vacinities of where we wanted them!! Now that I know this information, we are very happy with system. The voice quality is good and they are easy to use. My children, 5 and 9, have no problem using them!

    Great voice quality, easy to use
    This intercom is working quite well for us, with the units in two wood frame buildings about 60 feet apart with one on the first floor and the other in a basement.

    There is no static or hum whatsoever. Have encountered no interference just keeping it on “A” channel.

    Not quite as advertised
    A well designed and functional item and certainly priced right.

    The problem: In a quiet environment such as a bedroom the background hum is simply unacceptable. I’ve tried different channels and both sides of the circuit breaker box without success to reduce background noise.

    Need it for break-room or kitchen and you won’t be disappointed; elsewise it will keep you awake at night.

    Gritty Eye-witness Account of The Troubles
    John Conroy performed a courageous feat of journalism with this book. As an American writer he put himself in the midst of the conflict and in incredible danger at times to capture the true picture of Belfast in the 80’s. The stories of the people he encountered and the tough environment he experienced and witnessed is indispensible reading for anyone who wants to understand what the conflict was all about at the street level.

    While Belfast seems to be enjoying more peaceful times at the moment this book is a reminder of just how volatile a political climate there is and provides the reader with a much fuller understanding of the how , the why and major developments in the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

    Puts you right in the middle of it
    Not only do I admire John Conroy’s writing, but I admire his courage to put himself right in the middle of ‘the troubles’ just to get the story right. It would one thing if Conroy was a Belfast resident and was just reporting on his day to day life, but he is not. He is an American who more or less stumbled upon this assignment and saw it through.

    It struck me a few times in the book just how close Conroy was coming to being killed in a place where death is a way of life. He is to be commended for this and we owe a debt of gratitude for making this sacrifice just so we could get a look right from the belly of the beast.

    Great read
    I really enjoyed this book. I thought that Conroy did a great job putting the ‘Troubles’ in Belfast into perspective from an American living in the midst of it all. Having visted the area that he writes of brought back memories. I referred to his map at least 50 times during my reading of the book to recall the streets that I walked in relation to where he wrote the book and spent his time in Belfast. I highly recommend this book.

    An indispensable account…
    of what it is like to live, work and experience the turmoil of "The Troubles." Conroy covered the Troubles the right way…he went in and lived among the people in Belfast instead of swooping in for drive-by interviews like too many journalists have done in the past. He also manages to convey what he experienced while maintaining objectivity…this skill when dealing with terrorist and paramilitary violence is something writers covering the "War on Terror" these days could learn from. Required reading for anybody interested in Northern Ireland, its history and how to possibly make a better future in that wartorn nation…

    Necessary Read for the American Audience
    This book was recommended to me as excellent reading about the Troubles, particularly for Americans. I whole-heartedly agree; it is all that and more. Conroy does describe the daily workings of life in Northern Ireland but he also tackles the prejudices and ignorance of Americans (and the U.S. government) when it comes to the political climate in Northern Ireland. He pulls no punches and sugar-coats no issues. He explicates the situation as he sees it and is not afraid to indict those who turn blind eyes. The version I read was older so I have not yet seen the updated book that includes information on semi-recent IRA ceasefires. But I do think many of Conroy’s observations are still applicable, changes in administration notwithstanding. He describes the intolerant view towards Sinn Fein taken by the American government in the 80s and the biased, oversimplified treatment of the Troubles by the American media. Indeed as Conroy notes it has not been hard to sell the British point-of-view to American audiences but what of the counterpoint? When do proponents of the other side get a chance? Conroy also concludes that for as long as Northern Ireland remains a British enclave, continued violence is guaranteed. For that reason alone, Americans owe it to themselves to read _Belfast Diary_.
