This can wake the dead.

*************************Edit**************

My initial review still stands although I have grown more used to the sound of the alarm and it doesn't scare me awake like it used to.  Also the battery life is considerably longer than I previously thought.  After a few weeks the LCD starts flashing that the battery is low but it will last in this state for months without fail.

********************************************

Well I have to say that the second guy that reviewed this clock must really be a coma patient, because if this thing doesnt wake you up, then nothing will.

I am a very deep sleeper.  I can sleep through earthquakes, kids, and every other alarm clock known to man.  I was habitually late when it came to getting up in the morning.  I have have slept through my alarms on most occasions and when woken up, had never even heard them. To put it another way, on a scale of 1 to 10, on how deep one can sleep, I'm a 10.

At one time when I was single, and had no one else to consider, I had a home theater system with a built in alarm function.  I would set it to about half volume and set it on a hard rock CD.  This would be so loud that I would on occasion fall out of bed, and most times be scared when it went off. If I had a heart condition I would be dead, thats how loud. This is the first and only alarm clock that has come close to giving me that same feeling when it wakes me up.  It has a very distinct and random tone, very reminiscent of R2-D2, and it is very loud.  To top it off he will run and hide, although this is not what has forced me to get up, it has been the alarm sound itself.

When I first purchased this alarm and tried it out, I allowed it to run and it went to the middle of my California king. I couldn't reach it to shut it off.  If this had been a real situation I would have definately been wide awake.  Since I have actually begun using it though I have found that I have not given it a chance to run, because as soon as it hits the floor I am on it and awake, as it scares me awake.

The only bad thing is that it runs on batteries, which for me only seem to last a couple weeks. That being said, since I am always on time now it seems like a small price to pay.  Would have been a better design if it had built in rechargeables and sat on a dock most of the time.

All in all I totally recommend this Clock.

This sensor system is being used to guard my open garage contents.  It works well and is loud enough to wake the dead at night.  I do have an occasion dog or cat that wanders in and sets it off, but it is not annoying enough to worry about.

Small but effective alarm clock.  The sounds of the movement are not faint, so if your hearing is borderline canine, you may get a bit annoyed by the ticking.  Most people will not notice it.  The alarm itself is not loud enough to wake the dead, but it will get them to roll over and hit snooze.  I would definitely buy it again, if I needed another one.

Tested on a regular light socket, it works and is loud enough to wake a person up (if in same room) I would buy again.

This seems like it was made to wake up anyone in the house that might be sleeping. Grinding is decent, but it does not need to be half as loud as it is

Do not try this thing out in the late afternoon because you're going to run out of light. Kinda addictive because of the mild OCD that kicks in. This thing works really good, I am impressed with it's eaze of use, I got it because the bending over was killing my back the next morning. It's real sturdy I don't think I will break it unless I loan it out, keep this thing away from neighbors!

It is great to be able to wake up gradually to light instead of the darkness of dreary winter days

After taking off ALL the packaging - including the little plastic tab that keeps the batteries fresh until it's in use - I got to pull the pin and experience what amounts to an alarm you can't possibly ignore - unless there's a jackhammer or jet engine in the proximity. I'm looking forward to giving one of these to each of the ladies in my family, happy in the knowledge that they will have one more layer of protection, and the ability to draw a large amount of attention to themselves should the need arise. I'm satisfied that this device will do what it was built to do.

This Film is another example of what an Artist can bring forth when they are paying close attention to their surroundings,very good acting and pacing of storyline,if you have been watching and paying attention to Romero's Dead films before this, there is an ever growing trend in this film towards the end and the two Dead films after this one, the people in these films are using the zombies as excuses to do whatever they want, as this is a mirror image of what is exactly going on in the world right now as in he past, yet its accelerating due to the fact that large percentages of the population have lost the Spiritual component to their lives. As with all Romero's fims about the living dead,we have a choice,same choice as the first choice,look around you,outside,at work,in traffic,at the stores,millions of people that do not even know that they are Alive,its time to wake up
  Thank You,

Excellent alarm clock.  It is loud and will wake the dead.  I got it for my wife as she doesn't wake up to anything.  But this thing works every time .

I got this after a friend and real estate agent told me she had a rather frightening encounter with a viewer during an open house.  While she wasn't assaulted, she was afraid.  I ordered her this alarm along with mace.  I know it is fail-proof, but a deterrent indeed.

I was please with the loudness of the alarm and it make a unique chirping and loud sound that it's not like other alarms most people would ignore.  It would at least startle someone.  The strap was a little disappointing as it is too tight for an average wrist but the alarm itself works great and I highly recommend it especially for kids, runners and people outdoors who may need to startle someone and get passersby attention,

It's too bad it appears to be disposable, I would have liked to have the option of changing the battery.

Overall I am very pleased, it is loud, makes a unique alarm sound, isn't going to go off willy-nilly and is small enough to carry easily and discretely.  I think they should add a light too, just for added notice-ability.

Here is a story of a worst case event which leads to something amazing.

Not all of it is good as there is an underlying darkness which needs to be uncovered.

Enjoy, if you dare.

After experiencing two recent funerals about 4 years apart and reading a little about the American way of funerals versus the rest of the world I felt compelled to know what happens to you and your body when you die. It is a horrifying description that will happen to your body unless you leave very specific instructions of what is to be done to your remains immediately upon your demise. Three hours later is too late. You will be embalmed (not an easy read for the squeamish) and your family subjected to extreme price gouging at a time when all they think they want to do is "the right thing". Annual profits are 41% at some of the larger Funeral Home holding corporations. There is no law to embalm, except when the body cross's state lines. You will learn a lot and I instructed my family what to do and how to do it with what I learned in this book.

This is a good example how God hears us, but we are too busy with life to hear Him. Sometimes He has to knock on our door and shake us so we pay attention.  I call this a second chance to wake up and thank God for everyday we are here. Love the story.

Now prepared for the zombie swarms, this thumping stick can dislodge the firmest of connections. The teeth don't quite fit round the lumber in Australia but it can split a log if need be.

This is so wonderful and gives us more a sense of security. At least we could hear if someone was trying to get in. There are so many noises in a home and we use a noise machine at night to sleep so we would never hear anyone come it before, but now we would and and it would probably scare them off.

A lot of care went into this book. It's obvious with the soft touch of the jacket cover and amazing cover art.

Then there are the words, the story, the history, their lives carefully etched into the paper. I've followed the author on twitter, read her blogs, and was immediately taken by her ability to tell stories. When I saw the tag line, I knew I wanted to read this story.

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.

This is the world that Victoria Schwab takes us. A world of mystery, darkness, sadness, and peace where the dead rest on shelves, tended by the tireless librarians. But sometimes the dead don't stay quiet and the keepers must fight to return them.

Read this book. You won't regret it.
