I actually tried two of these and sent them both back for a refund, and thanks to Amazon.com for the efficient manner in which these two transactions were handled. The reason(s) for my disatisfaction with the Foci product was that both of them were deffective and would not function properly. In the case of the first, a couple of the teeny-tiny terminal pins were mis-aligned, while the second one seemed to have a software glitch and would unfailingly generate an error message instead of unloading the inserted flash card. I will in the future be acquiring a picture safe, but it won’t be this one.

I saw numerous plot holes in this book, even though the premise is interesting and maybe even had some potential. For the most part, I didn’t find the characters all that believable which made me not care too much about what happened to them. Bella is negative, mopey and weak. For some inexplicable reason, everybody seems to like her and wants to be her friend but she has zero personality. In real life, people would probably just ignore her and/or dislike her. Nobody would ask her to social functions and certainly wouldn’t be begging to take her to the prom. She pathetic because she continuously pines for Edward and doesn’t seem to have much of a life without him. I honestly think she’s taken feminism back 50 years.
I would expect Edward, being a 100 year old vampire, to be much more worldly and mature. Certainly, somebody with that much living would not be attracted to someone as vacant as Bella. I honestly don’t see the attraction here. Edward is also controlling and moody, not the most attractive traits you’d find in a man. Plus I find it creepy and stalker-like that he sits in her room while she sleeps, without her even knowing!! I also don’t understand that if you’re a vampire who can do whatever you want, why would you keep on going to high school? Wouldn’t you…oh, I don’t know…do ANYTHING else?
This story could have been told in a hundred pages rather than over 400. Too wordy, too many inane details that didn’t really add to the story…overused adjectives, etc. Character development was minimal, and I didn’t much identify with the characters.
The reason I give this a 2 star rating is because it did draw me in enough to keep reading. I liked it for the sole reason that I could shut my brain off before going to bed and it was nice to not have to read too carefully for fear of missing anything. I could scan 2 or 3 pages without missing any important information in the plot. If you want a simple read with some suspense, this is good for th

A wonderful, Must Read Book, an insight into a lost era. The Author is a master of the written work. The end is a tear jerk er and the story is a mover. Best of reading.

After my less than 2yo WD hard drive died with all of my music, pictures, etc…which, of course, could not be recovered, I wanted a sturdier hard drive. It is about a third thinner and much smaller for less. Plus, the ‘anti-shock’ will hopefully keep the drive working for longer. And I love not needing a separate power cord. So far this little guy has been the envy in the office and has done all it needed to do, travel on a bike, back and forth from home to office every day. I have not used the software yet, but it seems very user friendly and helpful, another thing my old WD was missing completely.

Great bike for the price. I received the bike today and wasn’t sure what to expect from a $235 road bike. I was pleasantly surprised. The bike has an appealing look with its blue and silver paint job. These colors don’t combine to have the most expensive look to them but Schwinn Prelude Mens Road Bike looks better in reality than the pictures on the internet which I didn’t think were to bad in the first place.
The bike was a good size for me and I am 5″11. The parts that were already assembled needed tweaking, tightening and checking. The additional parts like the front wheel, front caliper, handlebars and shifters you will have to install. This is easily done by following the easily explained steps in the manual. Getting the wheels to turn smoothly without catching the break pads is what took most of the time setting up the bike.
When I was assembling the bike I found the positioning of the shifters to be inconvenient, they just take up too much room on the handlebars and would require a whole body straightening movement to get to them from the normal riding position. The shifters are attractive with there thumb up and down plastic control switches; they also shift smoothly; these are not the worst Shimano have to offer. The aluminum band that ties them on to the handlebars looks cheap. The other cheap looking parts of the bike are the pedals and the seat is cheap. It has little to offer in padding and I will upgrade that this month.
For now the Schwinn is the most reasonable bike on the market. In a year or two if I get into road biking more I could see myself upgrading because there is a noticeable weight difference between this bike at 25lbs and a $700 Trek 1000 which I just know by lifting it is lighter. However, this bike is 3 times cheaper and all I need to get myself fit.
The perfect green stunt bike for 8 yr old.. I got this for my 8 year old for Christmas. He loves Mongoose Strike BMX Bike and can’t wait to go out and ride every day. The bike is sturdy and perfect for his crazy stunts.
