Overall, its an amazing unit, I’m using it as my bike computer and I cannot go out without it anymore! The GPS sensitivity is VERY good and I’ve found the speed readings to be quite accurate, even at low speeds. A great option it has for working out, is that it automatically pauses the counter every time you stop, so is great for riding in traffic and stopping at traffic lights. It cannot hold detailed maps, so don’t think about using is as a primary navigation tool, but if you record your tracks it could be ok. One drawback is that I’ve found the Garmin Software to be very limited, it cannot use google maps and the mac interface is not great, I’m using TrailRunner instead and its amazing.

Like several others, I purchased this vacuum after reading all the positive reviews. For the most part, I agree with them. This is a fantastic vacuum cleaner that’s a superior value. Unfortunately, the unit I purchased broke down after 20 months. I’m tempted to buy another one since it worked so well for those 20 months and the price is still a relative steal. That said, I will be mindful of the durability. While there’s only so much you can expect for less than $70, I was hoping that my product would last at least three years.

Bottom line: brilliant when it worked and a tremendous value, but I worry about the durability.

Works great! It keeps accurate mileage and it is easy to setup. A pause or reset would be nice because I have to keep the unit inverted until I get on the trail. I only want to track how far I hike; I don’t want to track the drive to the trailhead. This is a major design flaw. I still give it 4 stars because of the quality and accuracy.

For the price, you can’t beat this one. I bought it because of CR’s recommendation and Amazon’s reviews. Got ours yesterday and I immediately put it to the test. It is very good on carpet. It sucks! Really! It is lightweight so I can lug around the stairs with ease. Being 7 months pregnant, this is definitely a plus. The only thing I would recommend is to buy the extension hose because it’s a little short and if you use vacuum cleaners like I do (I stopped using those swiffer dusters and just vacuum every nook and cranny of the house with the dusting brush attachment), you will surely find the extension hose a big help. Oh, also, when I use the hose to hand-vacuum the furnitures/curtains, I cover the hose outlet with one of the tool attachments so the dust in it would not flow back up because of the turbulence. I believe in the newer models, they remove the hose outlet cover (I wish they didn’t). Anyhow, that does not deter me from giving this little “sucker” a 5 star rating. It works just like those expensive ones yet for a fraction of the cost and fraction of the weight. Good job, Hoover!

I love playing this and it is good exercise. I golf better on it then in real life and also bowl better. I bought the Tiger Woods golf game because I wanted more courses to play on. I would recomend it for anybody that would like something fun to do inside when the weather outside is bad.

I bought this Forerunner because I wanted to train for a triathalon. Very easy to change between running and biking which is nice. There are a lot of features with this but once you get the hang of it, the watch is easy to navigate. Heart monitor is a little quirky to setup. Mine didnt setup automatically off the bat so I had to keep turning the device off and on until it connected. Not really that big of a deal and shouldnt be a show stopper for purchasing this watch.

As I was reading this book I was thinking “Holden Caulfield is such a jerk! He’s disrespectful to elders, he’s blasphemous, he can’t see past the end of his nose, and he’s an aimless kid who’s heading nowhere fast.”

But guess what? That describes me when I was a kid! In fact, it describes a huge percentage of America! And it also describes a big percentage of American youth. J.D Salinger caught lightening in a bottle with this timeless, classic look at American teen angst. Based on the way the story is told, it could have been written at any time during the 20th century, and it still speaks to us today. Because of all the swearing and the potty mouth thinking of the book’s central figure, I’, not sure I would recommend this for a high school class, but it would make for a good book for a college class and something that every one who cares about timeless lit should read.

I should also say that as frustrating as it is to get inside the mind of Holden Caulfield, I came away from the book with a sense of hope, that maybe the kid won’t be a schmuck for the rest of his life after all. In that sense, when I see Holden Caulfield, I see myself.

Book Description

As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by Fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety or ninety-three, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an un-trainable elephant who was the great hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.

[...]

This book came to us as a recommended read from several sources. Once selected, we could not possibly put it down. The author, Sara Gruen, builds the detailed and fantastic world of a travelling circus during the Great Depression from the ground up! The story of Jacob Jankowski is one of sorrow, love and at times terrifying. His constant emotional struggles can be related to by many readers (though perhaps not as fantastical) and will captivate the imagination. The other characters Gruen constructed are perhaps the most remarkable outside of young Jacob, as with any circus, they all act their parts accordingly … with flawless precision.

One does not need to be a circus aficionado or historical reader to take pleasure in this novel, for it contains a little of everything to captivate any bookworm. We guarantee you will not be able to put this one down!

Just about everyone knows the premise of Twilight. A teenage girl named Bella Swan moves to Forks, Washington and while there catches the eye of the hottest most mysterious guy in school. He has several secrets and she is determined to find them out and when she does a great love story ensues. She loves him and he loves her back while at the same time wanting to kill her in a horribly bloody way to drink her sweet, sweet blood. It is all very romantic.

Now let me just say this up front. While the sentence structures might be simple and the characterization, dialogue, and diction severely lacking the book is a solid piece of literature. It gets young people reading, and while the messages might not be entirely up to snuff with modern day strides in women’s rights, the book grabs and holds the interest of young people and among a generation that is reading less and less I think this is very important. It may not be great literature, it may not be enlightening or even empowering for the young women that read it; but for what it is, escapist romance, it does its job for its target audience very well.

I have a lot of problems with the book obviously. Nothing that just about everyone else has probably already said better than I can ever say it but here goes. As far as the mechanics of the book goes the characterization of both main characters really just sketch out empty shells for you to fill with whomever you might wish. Bella is defined almost entirely by her relationship with Edward. Edward is left almost completely in the dark and I’m assuming (hoping?) he will be fleshed out more beyond his amazing beauty and perfection in a future book. The dialogue was not very inspired or snappy. I’ve read even duller dialogue, I’ve read better too though. It was nothing to get excited over though. The diction, and by this I mean the vocabulary of the book, seemed very limited. We are told at least twenty or more times (I lost count after that) about Edward’s angelic face. Snap

I was hesitant to buy a steam cleaner, but after researching it I picked this one and am I glad I did! It works great!!! Better than I ever thought possible for a home unit. The only thing that is missing would be a bare floor accessory and something to do walls with also it could come apart for stairs because it is a little tricky taking it up and down the steps. Other than that this SteamVac is perfect!
