Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by David Brown Because photography can get a little wet There are compact cameras that are easy to take most anywhere. And then there are tough-style cameras that you really can take everywhere. No need to coddle the Olympus TG-830 iHS. Bring it into whatever extreme conditions you brave and document your adventures. Whether it's body-surfing in the ocean, or trudging through knee-high snow in sub-freezing temperatures, the TG-830 will not only survive but thrive, taking gorgeous photos and video. Even underwater images will look sharp and bright, thanks to the 16-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor and high-sensitivity 6400 ISO. GPS and high-speed shooting Keep track of your travels with the TG-830's built-in GPS, which records location and landmark information for all your photos. A series of shots from a hike can even let you map out your precise route using Google Maps or Picasa, perfect for remembering which trail was particularly picturesque. The speedy TruePic™ VI processor also lets your fire off a rapid-fire series of shots at up to 11.5 frames per second, perfect for action sequences. Or shoot high-speed HD video for slow-motion playback of your kids jumping off a diving board or sledding down a snowy hill. The fun doesn't stop when you head inside When you're done shooting, check out your footage on the TG-830's bright 3-inch LCD screen. Like the lens, it features a water-repellent coating, so water won't linger on either surface. You can also connect this durable camera to your HDTV with a micro HDMI cable (not included) to show photos and movies on the big screen. With plenty of editing and filter effects, 32 scene modes, and automatic multi-shot stitching, the TG-830 iHS is every bit as versatile as it is tough.

Needed a rugged, waterproof camera for our Hawaiian vacation. After much online research, this camera seemed to be the one. We kayaked, snorkeled, hiked on the volcano and down a steep trail to a black sand beach. It endured the salt water, sand and rain and took great pictures! It is a great outdoor camera at a great price! Pros: Performed as advertised. Cons: None. Recommend purchasing the float strap if kayaking or snorkeling. Was this review helpful? Yes No Olympus TG-830 iHS Written By Tim S, Massillon, OH on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this based on reviews. I work outside on construction sites all year long in Ohio , mud cold rain etc. and I wanted something that would be rugged and hold up under the elements . so far I'm pleased with the pictures. I don't plan on using it underwater so I cant help with that. Really wanted it for geo tagging , but it wont put coordinates on pictures, just time and date stamp . It does capture the info , but you have to put it in the caption physically . Pros: fast , great pictures , nice zoom , Cons: geo tagging , lens to close to the side , to easy to switch mode wheel Was this review helpful? Yes No Camera for US Marine Written By buck4max, Tuscaloosa, AL on Thursday, September 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Camera was purchased for my son for use in Afghanistan,so I'll have to wait to give a report on this camera. I purchased based on positive reviews and great customer service i received from your company Pros: Great shipping & customer service. Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Point and Shoot Camera Written By Brian D, Front Royal, Va on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received my camera the day before I left on vacation so I had no time to play with and learn how to use the camera. I left the camera in Auto mode for the entire vacation and the pictures and video I took exceeded all my expectations! I can't wait to see how it works in the other modes. Once again Crutchfield comes through! I love you guys! Thanks yet again. Pros: Easy to use right out of the box. Superb pictures and video for a point and shoot camera. Cons: Got to watch your fingers on the left side of the camera so you don't put them in front of the lens. Other than that I can't find anything else wrong! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Camera Written By Rob, Denison, Tx on Monday, August 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use this camera at the pool this weekend and I was really impressed, Underwater pics were awesome as well as regular pics. Good battery life and very responsive camera. I would highly recommend this camera, Its more functional than your typical action camera. Pros: Waterproof, Battery Life, User friendly, Zoom, Lg.Display Cons: None to be found 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Camera Written By Ramona, Spotsylvania, VA on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an awesome camera with fun effects and video. Durable double lock waterproof latches allow you to use camera without a cumbersome clear box. Pros: Great pixels and zoom. Fun features to make playful and dramatic pictures. Cons: Buttons are close to edges so you have to keep your fingers away from lens. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Olympus TX-830iHS Written By LizF, Austin, TX on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I haven't had a chance to test the waterproof-ness or durability of this camera, but am taking it on a cruise and will know soon. Bought it for the name (I have an old Olympus, still working, that has never failed me nor broken), waterproof & tough qualities (which are an upgrade on any camera I've had; I've dropped and broken, and crushed and broken in a pocket two small digital cameras in one year), GPS (not clear how that works though), and the recessed lens (an easily broken item on other small cameras, from my point of view). Pixel quality just gets better every year on cameras & I don't know how much we think we need. Pros: Waterproof, GPS, recessed lens, onscreen, pop-up explanations of functions very helpful! Like that you can take video and still photos simultaneously! It looks extremely well made and everything opens and closes very snugly (as expected for waterproofing). Cons: No paper user guide. I know, I know...but a little guide of "How Tos" would be nice. I won't always have a PC to check out how to set something. I wish it had WiFi but it wasn't a priority. I needs more than a wrist strap and I wish it had two places where you could attach a neck strap, like on a larger SLR cameras. I bought a neck strap that attaches to the one strap holder, but the camera just dangles from it. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nicer than my old Olympus Tough Written By Bob, Morgantown, PA on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I really liked my old Olympus and used it in Hawaii and the Caribbean, and on many trips through cold and nasty places. This new one has a better zoom, a bigger screen, and locks on the various doors that give me more confidence. The pictures I've taken so far have been nicer than my old camera. I can let you know how it does white water rafting in Wyoming. Pros: Better zoom, bigger screen, locks on compartment doors, and faster shutter speed Cons: None so far. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice little camera! Written By Anonymous, Milwaukee, WI on Monday, May 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a nice little camera. It is not as large as the pictures make it seem and packs a lot of features. I haven't used it underwater yet, but all of the other features work perfectly and you can tell the case is pretty tough and well put together. It has extensive settings for just about everything you would want to control and the built in modes are pretty useful. The zoom is very functional and I was surprised how little it blotches the pictures when zooming way in. I've been using a 16GB SanDisk SD card and the write speed is fast and the picture quality is great for a camera in this price range (of course it's no DSLR...). The GPS feature is also pretty cool and mostly accurate. It does confuse landmarks sometimes, but you can turn the landmarks feature off and just stick with city, state, and coordinates. My only knocks on this camera is that the lens is placed closely to the grip of the camera, so the first couple pictures I took all had my thumb in them. The battery life is maybe a little shorter than I anticipated. If you're not snapping a picture every 20 seconds though, it will likely last you all day. It takes a little getting used to and if you don't have fat fingers like me, maybe it's not as big of an issue. I give it five stars because I have no other cameras to compare it to and it makes my Olympus point-and-shoot from a few years ago look like an ancient relic. For the price, it is well worth the money. Pros: GPS, Zoom, Modes, Settings, Size, Well-built, Waterproof, Fast Cons: GPS confuses landmarks occasionally, the lens is placed too close to the grip, battery life is a little shorter than I expected but still very functional. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Olympus TG-830 iHS Written By Anonymous, Houston, TX on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wonderful camera. Took great pictures above and underwater. Good battery life. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Ehh.. Written By mbhs, california,md on Monday, April 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love the "tough" features and was the main reason for purchasing with a little boy at home. However, not a fan of the somewhat grainy picture quality. Also, when playing back a video, there is a prominent whirrrrr almost like the old fashioned shoulder mounted video cameras. We ended up sending it back and will keep searching for an affordable, tough, but high picture quality camera PS- customer service was impeccable Pros: toughness Cons: photo/video quality 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Olympus TG-830 iHS Written By Alyssa, Oregon on Monday, April 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First, let me say that Crutchfield's service was wonderful. I had attempted to order this camera first through Amazon, but they kept not shipping it, and finally I gave up and tried here. The very next day they shipped it, and it arrived the day they told me it would. As for the camera, I am quite enjoying it. I wanted a point-and-shoot that would work underwater without sacrificing quality, and that is what I got. It's actually better quality than my last point-and-shoot, with the added benefits of being shock proof, water proof, etc. I feel like I have freedom to go after any shot with this camera. It also seems to perform better in low-light situations than my last camera. The video quality is also really nice. There are only two things I'm not sure I like about this camera, based on what I was expecting it to be (I saw reviews basically complaining it's not a DSLR, which, duh, it's not). One is that the only macro mode is the "super macro mode" which must be accessed through the "scene" selection, and this macro mode doesn't get as close as I'm used to when taking macro shots. It does get pretty close, though. Second is that in some situations you can't really hold the camera without putting your thumb over some buttons. I actually haven't had an issue yet with buttons accidentally being pressed because of this, but I keep expecting to. Overall I'm really enjoying this camera and glad I purchased it. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The camera's durable construction is built to the following standards: Shockproof: designed to withstand a 6.8-foot fall, drop or other mishap (MIL-STD-810F standard) Waterproof: innovative waterproof seals and gaskets allow you to take underwater movies and pictures in the pool, lake, or ocean, up to 32.8-foot (10 meters) depths for one hour (IEC Standard Publication 529 IPX8) Dustproof: dustproof to an IEC standard 529 IP6X Crushproof: can withstand up to 220 pounds of pressure Freezeproof: camera can withstand temperature extremes down to 14° F (MIL-STD-810F standard) Double Lock Mechanisms: The battery compartment and connector cover doors both have double lock mechanisms to prevent accidental exposure to moisture and dust. Rubberized seals on the doors help make the compartments watertight to protect the battery, memory card, and connector contacts. Optics: The TG-830 is equipped with a bright F3.9-5.9 lens to let you capture shots in low light or situations when a flash cannot be used. The 5x optical zoom lens has a focal length of 5.0-25.0mm (equivalent to 28-140mm in 35mm photography). A special water-repellent coating on the lens prevents water from remaining on the lens surface. Super-Resolution Zoom: The Super-Resolution Zoom increases the effective zoom power without compromising image quality. The zoom ratio depends upon the selected image size. In 4:3 aspect ratio, the Super-Res zoom extends the total zoom to 10x (16M), 7x (8M), 12x (3M), and 20x (VGA). 3.0" Monitor: The camera is equipped with a 3.0" High-resolution Hypercrystal III LCD monitor with approximately 460,000 dots. The monitor features several protective coatings to reduce glare and to prevent scratches. Like the lens, a special water-repellent coating prevents water from remaining on the monitor. The TG-830 offers a 5-level monitor brightness adjustment in the menu. iHS: iHS technology is a combination of the high-sensitivity, high-speed 1/2.3" 16MP backlit CMOS sensor and the exceptionally fast TruePic VI image processor. The result is fast auto focusing, an enhanced iAuto shooting mode that recognizes multiple scenes and subjects, and Super Resolution Zoom that lets you zoom in farther than the optical zoom without degrading the image. GPS: The TG-830 has a built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, which can record location information onto your photos and movies. Using applications such as Olympus Viewer 3, Google Earth, or Picasa, you can view the location of your photos on a map. The logging function lets you track the route taken on your adventure. Recording Media: The Olympus Stylus TG-830 digital camera records still images or movies onto optional SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory Cards. For test images, or when the memory card becomes full, you can shoot a small number of images onto the camera's internal memory (approximately 39MB). Still images are recorded in JPEG format. Movies are recorded in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 with sound. FlashAir: The TG-830 is compatible with commercially available FlashAir cards. These cards have a Wireless LAN function to enable you to connect the camera to a Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone or PC to view or import images from the card. Dual Image Stabilization: The camera combines Sensor-shift Image Stabilization with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds, so you can capture sharp, blur-free images, even if your subject is moving. Focusing Range: The focus range for the normal shooting mode is 8.4" to infinity (W) and 19.2" to infinity (T). In the Super Macro mode, you can record images from 1.2" to 2' away. White Balance: The Stylus TG-830 offers the following White Balance presets: WB Auto, Sunny, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent, and Underwater. You can also set and store two custom white balance settings based on an actual scene. LED Illuminator: The camera has a built-in LED illuminator that can assist in Auto Focusing, or illuminate the scene in closeup situations. It can be turned on or off manually in the menu, or set to automatically illuminate when the shutter button is pressed halfway. Flash: The camera's built-in flash operates in the following modes: Flash Auto: The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. Red-eye Reduction Flash: This emits pre-flashes for red-eye reduction. Fill-in Flash: The flash fires regardless of the available light. LED On: Turns on the LED illuminator for close up images. Flash Off: The flash does not fire. Self-Timer: You can take pictures of yourself using the 12-second built-in self timer. The 2-second self-timer also aids in preventing camera shake. Power Requirements: The Stylus TG-830 operates on an LI-50B rechargeable Lithium-ion battery (3.7V, 925mAh, 3.5Wh). An AC adapter (F-2AC-1B) is supplied to charge the LI-50B in the camera or operate the camera on AC power. The camera can take up to approximately 300 photos with fully charged battery. Charging time is approximately 3 hours. The camera can also charge while it is connected to a computer via USB. Recording Images Resolution: The Stylus TG-830 can record still images in four aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and 1:1. Two image quality (compression) settings can be selected: Fine and Normal. Movies are recorded in 16:9 and 4:3, with or without sound. Available image sizes include: Still Images: 4:3 16:9 3:2 1:1 4608 x 3456 4608 x 2592 4608 x 3072 3456 x 3456 3200 x 2400 3200 x 1800 3216 x 2144 2400 x 2400 1920 x 1440 1920 x 1080 1920 x 1280 1440 x 1440 640 x 480 640 x 360 624 x 416 480 x 480 Movies: 1920 x 1080: 16:9 aspect ratio 1280 x 720: 16:9 aspect ratio 640 x 480: 4:3 aspect ratio HS 1280 x 720: High speed 120 fps HS 432 x 324: High speed 240 fps 1920 x 1080/60i: Shot at 60 fps Shooting Modes: The rear-mounted Mode Dial lets you choose between several shooting modes: Program: The camera automatically sets shutter speed and aperture, but allows you to make changes to a wide range of other settings, such as exposure compensation, white balance, etc. iAuto: The camera automatically selects the optimal shooting mode for the scene. Photo with Movie Clip: When shooting a still image, a movie clip that includes before and after the shutter release is recorded simultaneously. Advanced Movie: Choose from three special movie modes: Photo in Movie, 60i movie, and High Speed movie. Panorama: You can shoot and combine multiple images to create an image with a wide angle of view. Hand-Held Starlight: Records night scene pictures with less camera shake can be taken without a tripod. Scene: Lets you select from the following pre-programmed settings: Portrait, Beauty, Landscape, Night Scene, Night+Portrait, Sport, Indoor, Self Portrait, Sunset, Fireworks, Cuisine, Documents, Beach & Snow, Underwater Snapshot, Underwater Wide 1 and 2, Underwater Macro, Pet Mode-Cat, Pet Mode-Dog, Super Macro, and Backlight HDR. Magic: Lets you add special effects, such as Pop Art, Pin Hole, Fish Eye, Soft Focus, Punk, Sparkle, Watercolor, Reflection, Miniature, Fragmented, and Dramatic. Sequential Shooting: The camera can take one frame at a time, or a sequence of pictures at a time by holding down the shutter button. During sequential shooting, the focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed when the first frame is shot. You can choose from the following: Selection Frames Per Second Maximum # of Frames Frame Resolution Sequential 1 2.5 fps 200 images 16M Sequential 2 10 fps 17 images 16M High Speed 1 15 fps 60 images 3M High Speed 2 60 fps 60 images 3M Auto Split Shooting Not given 16 images 3M Sensitivity: The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera's light sensitivity and better its ability to shoot in low light. The Stylus TG-830 can automatically set the camera's sensitivity according to the conditions around the subject. To minimize blur caused by a moving subject or camera movement, the camera can automatically use a higher sensitivity (compared to Auto). Manual settings include ISO 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and 6400 equivalents. AF Mode: There are three AF (auto focus) modes for selecting the focusing area: Face/iESP: the camera determines the subject, even when not in the center. If a face is detected, the camera focuses on the face when the shutter button is pressed halfway. Spot AF: focus detection based on the subject within the AF target mark AF Tracking: The camera tracks the subject's movement automatically to focus on it continuously. Exposure Compensation: In some situations, you may get better results by adjusting the exposure slightly using exposure compensation. You can adjust from -2.0 to + 2.0 EV in 1/3 stop increments. Still Image Audio Recording: When activated, the camera's built-in microphone can be set to record four seconds of audio after the shutter button is released and the picture is taken. In the playback menu, you can add up to 4 seconds of audio to still pictures. Displaying and Editing Images Image Playback: Once still images or movies have been captured, the camera gives you several options for playing them back: Manual Playback: view images manually one-by-one Slide Show: play still images back as a slide show. You can select to include all, or images from a single event, or in a specific collection created with PC software. You can choose from six types of background music and three types of transitions. Index View: For viewing multiple images at once, you can create an index display of 20 frames. Outputs: The Stylus TG-830 is equipped with an HDMI Micro Connector (Type D) for connecting the camera to an HDMI-equipped HDTV. The output can be set to 1080i, 720p, or 480p. If the connected HDTV is compatible with HDMI Control, you can set the camera to be controlled by the TV's remote control. The camera also has a proprietary multi-function jack used as an audio/video output (with the optional CB-AVC3 composite video/mono audio cable) or a USB port (with the supplied USB cable). Editing Pictures: If a picture you have taken turns out less-than-perfect, you can edit it using one of the following: Image Size: You can save a high-resolution image as a separate image with a smaller size to use in e-mail attachments or other applications. You can choose 3M or VGA. Cropping: You can zoom in using the cropping frame, and create a new image. Adding Sound: You can add up to 4 seconds of audio to an existing image using the built-in microphone. Beauty Fix: The camera can make corrections to the subject's skin and/or eyes. Shadow Adjust: You can brighten areas that are dark due to backlighting of other reasons Redeye Fix: Red-eyes caused by flash shooting can be retouched. Landmark: You can change the landmark information recorded on images when they were shot using the GPS Landmark function. Rotate: You can rotate the image to the proper orientation. Erasing/Protecting Images: Unwanted images can be erased one at a time or all at once. You can protect important images to avoid accidentally erasing them. Once an image is protected, it cannot be erased during a single-frame erase or all-frame erase function. Protected images are erased when the memory is reformatted. PictBridge Printing Capability: Using the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compliant printer. PictBridge is a standard that allows you to connect a PictBridge compliant camera directly to a PictBridge compliant printer and make prints, regardless of brand. Print Reservation: Applying Print Reservation (Print Order) to your pictures allows you to take the memory card to a DPOF-compatible photo lab for printing, or print them on a DPOF-compatible printer at home, without using a computer. DPOF is the Digital Print Order Format and allows you to add information to your picture files such as which pictures to print, the number of prints desired, add the date and time to each image, etc. Supplied Software Supplied Software: The Stylus TG-830 comes with Olympus Viewer 3 software on CD-ROM.

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Roger Surprisingly well built I have been looking at resistance systems for a while now and used a small set from another manufacturer. I am like most people and have a hard time with the idea of these things breaking during a workout and flying in my face. This set is very unique in that that I have the fullest confidence that the only thing that may break is the band itself, but the quality of these bands is on par with anything else I have seen. The straps and handles are heavy duty steel carabiners with grommets where double stitched nylon straps are fed through to minimize wear. The carabiners themselves are the type that actually interconnect when closed so that they can't expand even though I highly doubt anyone using these properly could ever bend them (I would be comfortable putting 200# of resistance on the smallest one). The plastic handles are the thickest I have seen and even have a dense, rubber sleeve for grip that looks to be quite durable and will not work itself off since it fits in a groove on the handle. The straps themselves are extremely well thought out. I would describe them, but there are a lot of features to how they are made that make them the safest resistance tubing I know of. Like I said, I have the utmost confidence that this system will not simply fly apart in pieces as I use it. The only disappointing thing is that replacement bands on the GoFit website are made with plastic construction. However, for the value I would not hesitate to simply buy another complete set in order to increase resistance or have replacement bands on hand. December 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by David C Personal Trainer Personal Trainer Recommended I have been a personal trainer for many years I have worked for country clubs, public gyms and in private homes. Rarely is there a quality home gym product. A client was commenting on an exercise band set she had picked up for her and her husband. We made an appointment to meet so she could learn more personally targeted exercises. I was completely surprised by the quality of this product, including the bands, The fastening clips -- even the heavy-duty nylon loop. These bands do come with only one set of handles. This adds versatility. You can have multiple bands for more resistance,or easily double up on one band. This does taking a bit of getting used to. You will have to find your right combination for each exercise. Because of this, the first couple of workouts may be a bit slow. This is a small price to pay for home equipment that is better in quality than most of the "professional" equipment out there. February 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by FOMOCO great low impact workout Nothing will ever beat free weights and gym quality machines for bulking up. The resistance bands are good for lean muscle and anaerobic exercise. I have tendonitis in some joints and the bands do not cause the inflammation free weights did. December 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Amber the Swimmer Easy to Use At Home or On The Go This product is great and sturdy, and both me and my husband can get personalized strength training from the same kit. It is easily portable and has lots of options. I have used this for physical therapy with the lowest 5lb band while my husband uses it for strength training. This can work the entire body, legs, core, and upper body. It really is awesome. Not going to break these metal clips unlike the other GoFit ProGym set with plastic clips. Save up for this one. August 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Drew sturdy these bands are the real deal. I tried the $20 cheap ones and they broke in less than a month. (handles first then the bands themselves). these have good handles sturdy clips and a safe door mount. i haven't tried the ones from p90x but i cant imagine them being better. I use these for p90x March 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by maxwell Top quality at a bargain price These are by far the best resistance bands out there bottom line.The quality is amazing for the price.I use them every day and have a hard time puting them down. August 31, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by Fuzz Great quality This set was gym quality. Much better than expected. May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Walt awesome Awesome for training! A must have for everyone. Can utiluze with body weight, weight training, and even stretching. You can get a workout anywhere. I only hope they continue to last long. It is very important to be cautious and take care of these so that they do not tear apart. One small tear could be the beginning to the end of a band. August 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Duffer0625 Fitness Great work out and doesn't take up any space. I use it every day and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you, Kevin April 17, 2015

Recipe by Georgie Bowers
"Soft cut out sugar cookie that I have used for years. I sprinkle with colored sugar before baking or you could also try icing them when cool."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups
white sugar
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
WONDERFUL! For a perfect, soft sugar cookie, the following small modifications will get you there...use butter instead of marg, and melt it over the stove. It helps to dissolve the sugar, and to help sugars and butters cream better. Use only 3 cups flour. Finally, oven temp at 350 and baking cookies for 8-10 minutes keeps it soft. Lining with parchment paper also helps. Keep an eye out...they will seem too pale to remove from the oven, but just when the center doesn't look "wet" anymore, it is done. They still bake for 2 or so minutes, so they will darken up a little and be perfect. FYI--when rolling these out, keep the dough nice and thick...the cookie will be crisp (still good)if it is too thin.
These really were perfect for cut-out cookies. I had no problem rolling out the dough and they kept their shape nicely. The texture was spot on. However, by themselves they aren't stellar in the taste department and definately benefit from an icing of some sort. Regardless, I will be using this recipe alot. I may add a 1/2 tsp almond extract or some orange zest or something to spruce them up. Thanks for sharing!

These cookies came out soft, fluffy, and delicious. The dough was simple to
make and easy to work with. However IMO, some adjustments are
necessary to make this recipe perfect: 1) Only add 3 cups of flour to the dough,
then use 1/2 cup to roll them out. 2) Use butter instead of margerine to give
them better flavor and texture. 3) Bake them at 350 degrees instead of 400
to let them puff up and make them softer.
Make sure not to roll them too thin or overbake them. They should have only a
trace of brown around the edges. Enjoy :)
these cookies puffed up nicely and held their shape when using cookie cutters. Very buttery and not overly sweet. They tasted wonderful with just a bit of colored sugar sprinkled on top. I did add some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tablespoon of molasses and used half white sugar and half brown sugar to one batch to make snicker-doodles and they turned out great. This is a wonderful sugar cookie recipe that can be used as base for many kinds of cookies. I am a professional pastry chef and have access to many recipes and this is one of the best I have come across.
FANTASTIC! I have made these MANY times now, and they are always well-received. I do make some recommended changes: butter instead of margarine, 3 1/3 cups flour and sub 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup powdered sugar for the 1 1/2 cups white sugar called for. I also use powdered sugar - as opposed to flour - when rolling them out. These are easy to handle, and hold up FABULOUSLY . . . tasting great even a week later! I use the Sugar Cookie Icing on this site, and they always look amazing. A side note: the first time I made these I made a batch of this recipe AND a batch of the Best Rolled Sugar Cookies, and these were by FAR better - both in texture and taste.
I have been trying to find the perfect cut out cookie recipe and this is the best so far. Like some others I also used butter and I cut back the flour to 3 cups. I wrapped the dough in plastic wrap and divided it in two as it made it easier to work with. I reduced the heat to 350 and cooked the cookies approximately 10 minutes. Be sure you don't roll out the dough too thin or they will be a harder crispier cookie. I used Barbara's Butter Icing for Cookies and it was excellent. These definitely rate 5 stars
This is the first time I ever successfully made sugar cookies. They were wonderful. I did follow recommendations of reducing flour to 3 cups, oven temp to 350 and used butter instead of margarine.
These cookies definitely lived up to all the great reviews. They were soft and chewy long after being cooled. I do regret icing the cookies since they were a little sweet for my taste afterwards. I didn't chill the dough since I made use of a cookie press, which proved to be a time and mess saver. Thanks for the great recipe!!! I just made these again and I had to come back to say that they were perfect using cookie cutters. I followed the recipe exactly, except I refrigerated the dough overnight and cooked the cookies for 9 minutes at 350*F. Delicious!

This was absolutely the best meatloaf I have ever made, or had for that matter, in my life. I highly recommend it. The savory sweet glaze is fantastic! My whole crew normally puts ketchup on everything. Not one of them reached for it!! Amazing!
this meatloaf was ok. have never tried cheese in meatloaf before. thought it might be a good idea. not a good idea.

I've always found meat loaf bland and a hard sell at my dinner table, until I found this recipe. It's been my stand-by for a couple of years now. Thanks Matt!
I used a pound of meat instead of the 1 1/2 pounds called kept everything the same other than the bread it still turned out great! Glaze on top was perfect texture!
I just had to log back into AR to review this meatloaf after we finished dinner..... I made it exactly as written except used bread crumbs and this meatloaf was FABULOUS. super simple and SO tasty! Meatloaf stayed together and the glaze was perfect. Will be making this again for sure!
My husband said it's better than his mother's.
Made no changes. Never do if I'm going to rate a recipe. Family and friends raved about the end product. Skeptical at first with no tomato sauce included in recipe. Perfect texture and taste. Thanks.
I added oregano, basil and fennel seed. Very tasty.

Guest DJ: Julian Lennon
Check out Julian Lennon's Guest DJ'd station on iHeartRadio
Buy Everything Changes on iTunes
Julian Lennon teamed up with iHeartRadio when he was in New York City recently to Guest DJ a radio station that's perfect for him.
"Talking about other peoples songs is a pretty weird thing for me to do," Julian tells iHeartRadio, "Except for the fact that they affect me one way or another, and generally that's emotionally. They all touch me in some way, because they were all about very much a time and a place -- the soundtrack of our lives, that wonderful quote.
"I wanted to choose artists that I thought were real artists in every way, shape, or form. They're all very unique and they're all great singer/songwriters."
Check out his top ten tracks below.
1. Steely Dan, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"
"My first song choice is one of my all time favorite bands, Steely Dan," Julian says. "I first heard these guys when I worked in my mother's restaurant as a waiter in my early, early teens. She used to play Steely Dan all the time, and I fell in love with them because they were the nearest thing to, for me, to crossover to slightly jazz-oriented music and rock and pop.
"Very inspired by Steely Dan, and I think 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' was the first song that I really recall hearing from Steely Dan."
2. Kate Bush, "The Man With the Child in His Eyes"
"At a time when you were listening a lot of -- at least in my mind -- pretty standard pop and rock music, Kate Bush certainly jumped out of the box. She was unique and special. Obviously every man in the world had a crush on her, 'cause she was incredibly beautiful, but she wrote incredibly beautiful songs too," Julian tells iHeartRadio. "'The Man With The Child In His Eyes' was the first song that I heard from her, and I was quite blown away because there weren't really many female artists that were so creative with their songwriting... I think she's always been amazing, in fact I wish she would put more material out there.
"In a heartbeat I would collaborate with her, but not unlike me, she goes to the rhythm of her own drum. She puts an album out when she feels like it, when she has the material that she thinks is right and ready for the public, and that can be every few years or every ten years... I melt every time I hear her voice."
3. Alanis Morissette, "Thank You"
"What a force to be reckoned with. Lyrically motivating, lyrically she gets to you every time. She digs deep this one. Not only lyrically, but musically too. I love a good song that has a good message but also a great groove to it and this is one of those songs that I can just put on repeat and listen to over and over again."
4. Aqualung, "Just For A Moment"
"I don't really know how many people know Aqualung," Julian says. "He's a very unique guy. I don't even actually know his name, but I just remember seeing him on one of the old school music shows in the U.K. -- 'Top Of The Pops' when that was around, and he was weird, lanky looking, very tall, quiet, and the thing is he wrote and produced everything, way before we had garage band, logic and computers... He played everything, and every song to me on this album was emotional in every way. 'Just For A Moment' is one of those that gets me a little choked up. It's a very emotive song. I dare you not to shed a tear or choke up a little bit when you listen to this."
5. U2, "One"
"There's not too much I can say about this except that it's one of the most perfectly written songs. I think everybody knows this song worldwide. Everybody feels the same way about this song and what it represents to people.
"It's a song I could not fault even if I went digging for days. For me, great song writing is lyrically having an expression that says what the subject is about. Melodically, it has to ring true to that too emotionally. Musically, that has to tell the same story. So if you listen to lyrics, melody and the music separately, they all tell the same story, but when they come together and say the same thing, that's when I get goosebumps. That's the magic moment that I strive for and without question this is one of those songs."
6. Bob Marley, "If This Love"
"Bob Marley, probably my number one peace advocate. The way that he approached the songwriting represented that love is important and one of the most special things that we should dedicate ourselves to. Not that it cures everything, but love certainly enables us to do far more than not.
"Even though there's a lot of other incredible reggae artists out there, the moment you hear Bob Marley, your toe is tapping, you're moving, you're grooving... the thing is he gets your physical body moving whether you like it or not. But the great thing is the story incentive lyrically that comes from his songs is pretty positive. He's someone that just puts you in a good mood mentally and physically."
7. Cassandra Wilson, "Love Is Blindness"
"I'd never heard of it before, and a friend played her -- at the time it could have even been a tape, it might have been a CD -- and I absolutely fell in love with this. The whole album, Harvest Moon, is one of those LP's and one of those songs that I feel I should be sitting either on a rocking chair on a porch with at sunset or sitting in front of a fire place whether it's Christmas or any other occasion. Although lyrically she's very emotional, she tends to relax me. Her voice is absolutely beautiful, incredible, and she's just one of those artists that for me I can't even consider pigeonholing. She puts me at ease. Most of our lives these days are so full and so rushed and so on-the-go, that the moment I put this song on -- as well as the album -- I'm able to kick my boots up and put my feet up and just breathe. That's one of the main reasons why I picked that one."
8. Civil Twilight, "Human"
"The last time I was here in America taking meetings I fell in like with Celebrity Rehab," Julian says. "We don't have this kind of stuff in England or Europe... you people over here are nuts! God! So I kept watching this, and I kept hearing this song, 'Human,' at the end. But at the time Shazam hadn't been invented, and they didn't say who the artist was for weeks and weeks. Eventually Shazam came out and I was able to find out who it was, and then fell in love with this song. I think it's a kind of song I would like to write as well. I mean it's very, it's simple again. Deep, emotional. It is very moody and I love that.
"This is probably the first band from Australia that I have absolutely fallen head over heels for, and I look forward to hearing the next stage of their career."
9. Crowded House, "Amsterdam"
"Crowded House, one of my all time favorite bands. Had the pleasure of not working with them directly, but when I was over in Australia for the first, second, maybe third album too, promo tours and touring out there, we were on a couple of the same shows so we kept bumping into each other.
"Always been a major fan of theirs. Probably some of the best songwriters around, especially Neil Fin. Actually saw Neil do a one man show in London last year. Blew my socks off. He was absolutely ridiculous because he played alone, number one, and had a very good, very intelligent sense of humor. Audiences would throw songs at him --even songs that weren't his, that he hadn't written, that he didn't necessarily know -- people would throw them at him and he'd figure out and sing and play the songs immediately. It was staggering.
"I love this new album, I think it's absolutely brilliant... 'Amsterdam,' when I first heard this, I thought, 'This is one of those songs that I would without question consider doing live.' Again it's not dissimilar; it's something I would've written melodically, arrangement wise, etc. etc., and would very much consider doing this live. There's only a few people that I would consider doing that with but this song in particular is one of them."
10. Massive Attack, "Teardrop"
"'Teardrop.' What's not to like? That has to be in probably top 10 of all time in many respects. The production on it is timeless. It's a song that I could never be tired of. I had the pleasure of meeting the boys way back when. Way, way back when. I would have loved to have worked with them at some point, but they continue to amaze me. Without question 'Teardrop' has to be my all time favorite from them... I just think they're a phenomenal, phenomenal band. Unique, above and beyond."

Launched in January of 2008, Clorox's line of natural cleaning products, Green Works, currently holds more than a 40% share of the natural home cleaning market. The first year success of their product single-handedly grew the natural cleaning product market by more than 80% in one year by selling Green Works through their current distribution chain in more than 24,000 stores alongside their regular household cleaning products. However the question remains, is Green Works truly green? Critics argue that since no industry standard definitions currently exist for natural cleaners, Green Works is simply deeming itself green against its own standards – a dangerous trend to set. Read on to find out more.
According to their website, Green Works sets their own very stringent standards to ensure that their cleaners are at least 99% natural – a.k.a. coming from renewable resources, being biodegradable and free of petrochemicals. They attribute the 1% to synthetic ingredients including a preservative and green coloring but are working to find alternatives to be able to claim that the line is 100% natural. On the other hand, because no standard exists, those who are on the lookout for product authenticity question the use of corn-based ethanol which has a larger greenhouse gas footprint than petrochemicals, as well as the use of coconut oil, which contributes to rainforest habitat destruction. Clorox has done their best to remain openly transparent about the ingredients in their Green Works line by publishing their ingredients on the product and responding to such questions online at their blog and through their Shades of Green Journal.
So where's the rub, you ask? As stated on their Shades of Green blog, "The Green Works brand stands for powerful cleaning done naturally and we have stayed true to that promise. Our proposition is aimed at the mainstream consumer who is interested in natural products that clean, are affordable and easily accessible. We are achieving our goal to mainstream natural cleaning." The company has delivered on their promise to bring natural cleaners into the forefront at a 15-20% premium over their natural competitors that are often carried at a 50-100% premium. On the other hand, if it weren't for the success of their product, it's questionable whether or not Clorox would continue to carry their natural line unless it continued to drive their bottom line – which doesn't tend to sit well with those who are constantly on the lookout for a more sustainable product. Despite their commitment to their natural product line, Green Works, Clorox has done little as a company to internalize their sustainable chatter into their overall operations and product manufacturing.
The simple answer is yes. Green Works is a product that can, for the most part, claim truthfully that their product is 99% natural. On the other hand, those looking for cradle to cradle operations and a company whose foresight is focused on a more sustainable future may want to look elsewhere. After all, in the end Clorox will always be a bleach company that is driven by the success of their products and the bottom line.

For what it\'s worth, here\'s my two cents…Wouldn\'t it be great if the non-Clorox brands of \"green cleaning products\" actually worked as well as the Green Works line? I try to be as environmentally friendly as possible–no phosphates, conservation, sustainable, bio-degradable compost and garbage bags, canvas grocery bags etc., but…I draw the line at spending my very hard earned, non-profit employment derived money on products that simply don\'t work or leave a nasty residue in my kitchen or on my laundry. And let\'s be realistic, non-profit is a tax status, not a business plan, end even those of us that do work in non-profit want to get every penny we can possibly earn into our bank account as fast as possible for investing in our company to be able to continue to serve our clients with a service or product they expect–there\'s nothing wrong with the Clorox company turning a profit and developing a greener product with less petro-chemicals!

John,,, I would love to know what soap you use when you clean… Did you know that "soap" can be toxic too?

I was at the grocery store, Ralph's, last night (not Whole Foods, who, unfortunately closes too early for me to shop) and needed new laundry detergent. Despite loving the smell of Cheer, I'd decided to finally take the plunge and go more sustainable. I saw Green Works, thought, at that late hour, that it looked green, and bought it.
Today I read their label. Talk about hedging their legal bets. They say, "We believe that natural laundry products should: Give you the cleaning and stain-removal power you expect from Clorox; Be made with plant-and mineral- based ingredients; Use biodegradable ingredients; Never be tested on animals."
What it DOES NOT say is that their product does any of that. That's Greenwashing at its most duplicitous. I am taking back my Green Works product to Ralph's today and asking for my money back. I'm tired of big corporations putting their money where their souls should be and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
Also, "Pragmatist" above says we should worry about how it cleans BEFORE we worry about how green it is, that its greeness is secondary. That attitude is EXACTLY why we're in the environmental mess we're in. At some point, sooner or later, likely within this century (aka, within the lives of our children and our grandchildren), the planet will reach a tipping point and slide down a slippery slope toward being unliveable by humans.
We live in the Garden of Eden, our mission is to take care of it. Pull your head out, Pragmatist, while you still have air you can breathe.

First of all on the front label thay claim 99% natural, on the ingrediants thay claim 99% water. What is the other 1%.
To answer Max Dricolls Green Seal question. Green seal is a group of washington DC attorneys who have turned a just cause into a profit center. Their certification is literally for sale and I am told their biggest contributor is the oil industry. Over 60 % of the greenseal cleaning products contain petro chemicals.
We need a truly non profit, affordable certifiaction process that maintains high standards for rating products on their ingrediants and the effect on the environment and not on the effect to their pocketbooks

Your article states that there is no industry standard for establishing the make-up of a green household cleaning product – this is wrong. Green Seal, an independent third party environmental standards organization, has a standard, GS-8, for household cleaning products. Companies can submit their product for testing and certification if it meets their strict environmental criteria. Is it green? The answer is easier than Clorox would make it out to be – get is certified under Green Seal GS-8. Done and done!

since i do not live in a septic tank, i have never used that toxic stuff. warm soapy water and a rag and/or brush does it for me. that is green.

The really important questions remain unanswered. Let's cut the green washing (pun intended) love fest for just a second and instead focus on the important issue. We don't buy cleaners to benefit nature, we buy cleaners to clean. Anything else is entirely secondary.
So, the real question is: How well does Clorox Green Works products clean in comparison to other cleaning products? If we can determine that they clean as well or better than other products, then we can worry about how green they are.

While I agree that it would be nice if the company were a "cradle to cradle operation," it is the fact that it is a bleach company that has made Green Works so successful. Environmentally friendly cleaning products have been around for a long time, but the vast majority of consumers have chosen products like Chlorox because they trust them to clean. It doesn't do any good for a company to be green if consumers aren't buying the product. The Chlorox name has done a great deal to convince people to give green a try. So while it's likely they wouldn't have kept the line if it weren't successful, it's also likely that the line wouldn't have been as successful if it didn't come from a known bleach company.

A great question is raised quietly in the article about Clorox Green Works "Is it Green". At the very end of the article Ms. Lee, the author, points out that Clorox is "driven by the success of their products and the bottom line".
As a consumer products company, owned by stockholders, what other definition of success is there? Without the sales of its products, Clorox would cease to exist. Without putting dollars on the bottom line, Clorox becomes a non-profit, of no value to shareholders in the existing Return on Investment way of thinking (think of your 401k or IRA).
I would argue the primary responsibility of every consumer products company is to sell its products. It's important to appreciate what I have come to call the "displacement theory" of green product purchases. For every purchase of GreenWorks, one less bottle of a fully petro-chemical based product is purchased. There is no cleaner thatt is "eco-perfect" unless you grow your own fruit and make your own cleaners from the vinegars that you make from some sort of green heat source at your home. Given that reality, Clorox' Green Works represents significant eco-progress toward what may eventually become full displacement of all petro based cleaners. Wouldn't that be a fine day!

Any company needs to be driven by the success of their products and the bottom line. A business that can't make enough money to stick around isn't a sustainable business. Environmentalists need to find ways to work with mainstream business, not dismiss them for being mainstream or profit-driven.


text: Help required please. I recently followed a tutorial about creating and installing your own brushes in Gimp. I managed to create (for test purposes) two brushes and install them. Thereafter having proved the theory I then wanted to uninstall said brushes. I discovered that I could only find one of them in the Brushes folder and successfully deleted it but I cannot for the life of me find the second brush in order to delete it. It does not appear in the Brushes folder although it does appear when I open up the Gimp programme and I can use it. I have done a search on my PC but can't find it anywhere. Anyone any ideas as to how I might get rid of it. MY OS is Windows 7. :-[
