This new 2011 edition is problematic - it apparently covers both sections of USMLE Step 1 (i.e. General Principles and Organ Systems), but the General Principles section is deprived of both essential information and the benefits the other book of First Aid has: First Aid For The Basic Sciences, General Principles. This book, dedicated solely to the General Principles, is colorful, abundant with unmatched tables, diagrams, mnemonics, figures and elaborate yet concise and focused text, which all render the General Principles Section of the USMLE Step 1 2011 unuseful, as one has to repeatedly refer to the separate book of the General Principles. Nonetheless, the Organ System Section meets our expectations as examinees. It follows that both books need to be purchased to obtain full coverage of the exam material, while half of the USMLE Step 1 2011 book is merely not used, yet being paid for.

Though it was fairly labor-intensive, this product transformed a really worn-out tub. When I was finished, it looked brand new, with a smooth and even, lustrous finish. I spent almost two hours carefully cleaning my 70 year old steel tub--it was worn away to the metal in spots, and had chips, scratches, rust, and adhesive non-slip decals. In other words, it was in really bad shape. I sanded it with 100-grit paper on my belt sander, then cleaned it carefully with CLR and Barkeeper's Friend, then finished it with another 220-grit sanding. Even after two hours, I still found little areas of soap scum and grout... My advice to everyone: Plan to spend a LOT of time cleaning the tub. Also, tape carefully, as you would for a painting job. You want to be able to go all the way to the edge, and even build up a little epoxy at the corners and angles, which you can only do if you've carefully taped. The epoxy itself went on very easily. I did three coats in about four hours, waiting around an hour between each coat. (That's the label recommendation, and I found it to be accurate--an hour to dry between coats.) When finished, I still had a few tablespoons left over, which I'll throw out, as the pot life is seven hours. (Not six, as several people have said here.) So there's ample product for three coats in a standard bathtub in poor condition. I exclusively used 4-inch foam rollers, and went through 2 or 3 foam covers per coat. Since the epoxy is sticky and dries fast, the foam rollers must be pristine, otherwise they shed foam. (If you do get a piece of foam in the paint, just remove it carefully and carry on... It doesn't matter.) The foam rollers have rounded ends, which I used to to those areas in the tub that were left a little thin by the roller (corners). I didn't find the odor so terrible as others did. Hm... Bits of advice: Make the first coat very thin--cover everything, but RESIST THE URGE to touch up. That's what subsequent coats are for. Short strokes in one direction are best. The epoxy is self leveling, and I filled some dents and chips using the epoxy, and it looks great, you can't tell where the chips were. (The label tells you to repair the chips with another product, but if you sand them well and then "pool" the epoxy a little, you'll get a nice finish.)

I bought this from the pharmacy when we ran out of Blue Goo. It does seem to help my tennis elbow somewhat, but no where near as well as Blue Goo. Blue Goo is the absolute best (way better than Icy Hot or other menthol creams out there). There is something about emu oil, MSM, and menthol that really seems to do the trick. Australian Dream doesn't have the menthol.

Wow. I no longer have to shove a metal coat hanger down the bathtub drain. Consequently, I probably love this thing a little more than I should. I keep my hair short, so I can go for 7 - 10 days of showering daily before I need to remove the Shroom and clean the hair off it. Which, I should note, takes less than a minute. My wife, however, has long hair, so I need to clean the Shroom after every 1 or 2 of her showers. Yup, that's how much hair it collects and stops from going down the drain.

Had oil leaking from rear main seal in '03 Maxima and got 5 estimates to replace in the $700 to $950 price range. $42 part and the rest was labor. One mechanic suggested I try AT 205 first so I stopped by his shop and bought a bottle. I don't like using any engine additives but he said he used it in one of his high mileage personal cars with good results. Poured it in and over night the leak was gone. That was 3 weeks ago and no more oil spot in the driveway...

Had a major tattoo update and this stuff hydrates like no other... really moistens and makes the tat rich. Not cheap - but hey.. i'm a work of art!!
