Bought a brand new house, and the builder had installed a Badger 1. While it did the job, it was noisy (kind of like a badger). It also didn't grind up foods very well and frequently clogged the pipes under the sink. So after several years of having to take apart the plumbing to clear clogs (and my wife getting aggravated with a sink full of nasty water), I decided to look for a good two-stage disposer that would do a better job. This is the one. Since this disposer is physically larger than the Badger 1, it took me an afternoon to redo the pipes under the sink to make room for this disposer. While I could have reused the sink flange from my Badger, I opted to replace it with the shiny new flange that came with the Evolution. Quick note: If you have a solid surface sink (like Corian or similar), don't use plumber's putty - use clear silicone, so as not to discolor the Corian. The plumber that did the original installation had used silicone, and it took a while to scrape off the old stuff.

I've had this modem in place for a month now and I am impressed in every respect. I previously had the Motorola 901 (which was a rock-solid performer), and upgraded to gain the "N" level of wireless performance and be prepared for DOCSIS 3.0 from my cable provider (Charter). I find this gateway performs to the limits of my ISP (which in my case at my rural location it 25 down and 3 up), and has good "reach" throughout my home. It performs flawlessly including hosting uninterrupted 4-way video-conferencing (Apple iSight). For those having problems, I suggest you relax your firewall settings a bit, especially those related to scrubbing packets. All make sure your cable provider is doing their part on the performance in, including having the right levels of line voltages in and out of your home (you can see these on the unit's diagnostics panel). In sum, I'm smiling, have no remorse whatsoever, would buy again, and would advise my best Friend to do so as well.

I bought these shoes to pair with the Shimano PD-T400 CLICK'R Clipless Pedals and they work great together. They fit true to size for me, I wear a 10.5 US and the 45 EUR size is a great fit. I can't say these shoes are as walkable as a standard athletic shoe, but walking in them feels fine with no discomfort. They look and feel like an athletic shoes, but clip in to pedals, perfect!
