When the kids said they wanted GoPro cameras for Christmas, my initial thought was, "Nope. Not gonna happen." Leave it to my wife to find a decent and VERY affordable alternative. The VTech - Kidizoom Action Camera - Black/Yellow is NOT a GoPro and doesn't come with all of the accessories and such to allow you to attach it to your head or to a helmet; however, those kinds of things DO exist, and they're also, VERY affordable.
The VTech - Kidizoom Action Camera - Black/Yellow is easy to use, easy to charge and takes decent photos. No, they're not the 4k shots you get off a GoPro, but for the money, they do the job, and you get the kind of action photos and videos you would expect to see when you're running, skateboarding, bike riding etc. You can store tons of video with a 32GB microSD card (not included...)
The kids... love these cameras. I... love the price; and my wife... she saved Christmas. If you don't mind not having 4k resolution, this is a no brainer when it comes to price; and for the money, you get to have a lot of fun.

I got this monitor for my son's gaming computer, for his birthday. The monitor is crisp, clear, and provides him with a decent view into the world of Windows. For a 27" HD compatible monitor, it was well worth the price, and was VERY affordable.

This cable is good for a back up when a primary cable goes out. Its not something that I would leave in place permanently, but its decent band-aid until you can get a better cable.

For the price, this was a great choice. We purchased this as part of the President's Day sale at BB, and we're very pleased with the TV. Great picture, good smartTV features and easy to use.

This is a decent sound bar; but its not without its issues. When directly connected via wire to a TV, it can often lose the audio signal. I'm not certain what is doing that, as I've check the connections and the cables, but sound still pops in and out.
For the cost, it might have been a good idea to spend just a bit more and get a different sound bar.

The Rescuers is a modern Disney classic animated film that stars Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor. Its a great film for kids and is a great example of cell animation in an age when computer graphics and CGI rules both live action and rule the studios. This is a family friendly film and is a winner in the car with the kids.

This bag as the third part of an anniversary gift for my daughter and son in law. This is perfect for carrying the camera and a single, extra lens, but if you're looking for anything better, you'll need to look elsewhere.

This lens was purchased as part of an anniversary gift and has proven to be good for close ups and tight shots, but it could be a bit faster. Little ones move quickly, and capturing clear action shots has proven to be a bit challenging.

If you're past the point and shoot stage, but NOT quite ready for a DSLR, this is a great camera. You get a good blending of features, especially with the large touch screen in the back; and you get the ability to change lenses to adjust for different shooting situations. We caught this on sale for my daughter and husband for their anniversary, and its proven to be very good for taking shots of the granddaughter, who will soon be three (as of this writing).

Has anyone setup an ORBI system with Time Warner Cable and had any issues? I am looking to get the Orbi, but make sure that is can replace the delivered TWC modem.

The Orbi system doesn't provide a modem. Its a router. You plug the Orbi base station into the TWC router and generate a wifi signal from it through the Orbi.

Will this work with Hughes Satellite system for rural areas where cable is not available?

This isn't dependent upon cable, per se. It needs an ethernet coonection. If you can put an RJ-45 (a standard) ethernet cable into the device that brings the internet signal into the house, then you shouldn't have any problems. You just sub your Hughes Satellite modem in for "cable modem" and you should be good to go.

Options for adding powder detergent and oxyclean powder

Do I have to use the dispenser or can I add them to the drum either before or after adding clothes
Of course you can add detergent and oxyclean to the drum. You just have to do so before the cycle starts, as the lid locks by default. if you want to add those after the cycle starts, you have to set the lid NOT to lock (if that's even possible) or add before it all starts.

Can I wash a queen size comforter in this washer

Yes. There's no agitator, so it fits without a problem. You can fit up to king sized bedding in this, and it will clean all just fine.
