Best book and series I have read in a long time. My favourite is New Moon. The books were so good I could not function properly until I finished the 4th book. Thank you Stephanie for making the 4th book so wierd, it cured me of my Twilight obsession as you went a bit far on that one. Imprinting on a child is a little disturbing for me. Great job otherwise.

Wanted a more accurate scale but for a reasonable price. This performs quite nicely. The backlight for the numbers is great to have. Very aesthetically appealing as well. Am very happy with this purchase.
The Law of Democracy
An excellently written and very interesting story which actually does have an unexpected ending!
However, there is a great deal of violence, sexual violence and sadistic behavior in general.
I wish that this excellent writer could write a book for adults which wouldn’t call for reading so much trashy stuff. I’m a great believer in “garbage in, garbage out” and wish that my recollectons of this otherwise terrific book didn’t include the above trash, and/or large sections which I skipped just because I didn’t want to put such stuff into my poor brain to remember! This was such a wonderful story that I feel badly that I find it necessary to warn about the trashy side of it.

I read this book and i got to say this is one of the best books in the world. If you like to read books you must read Twilight. The story never lets you go and i like the way is tolled. Not many books have this way of telling its story.

i’ve tried every ipod out there the 16 gb nano, the classic, and the 16, 32 and 64 gb touch. Don’t get me wrong. this is by far the greatest invention of the 21st century. It has many cool features. But for the it’s the 64 gb is too expensive especially because it’s not enought room for me, I currently have the 120 gig classic. i’m almost done filling it up. I have 2584 songs, 44 of those songs are music videos too. i have 0 tv shows, 0 podcasts. but over 100 movies! i’ll upgrade to a touch when they bring out a model of over 100 gigs for 300 bucks. it’ll probably be a while. Until then, it’s all good with my classic! but if you’re not a big video guy like me, totally go for it. the touch is by far the best ipod there is!

I got this only because it’s the top seller on Amazon, so I didn’t know anything about it beforehand. When I got it, I was surprised how big it is. It has an equally big sound, this thing will scare the pets and wake the neighbors. That’s partly because the rotating brush can’t be turned off, like in most vacuums that have a “hard floor” setting. Not only does that make it louder, but on my hardwood and tile floor apartment, the brushes throw a lot of debris around instead of sucking it up. As an example, I tried to use it to pick up spilled cat litter – BIG mistake, it threw the litter everywhere and I was cleaning up the mess for hours. The only way I can use this on my hard floors is by putting the flat head attachment on the extension wand and treating the unit as a canister.
It does come with a decent number of extensions and tools to make some jobs easier, which is the big reason I haven’t replaced it yet. And the bags are easy enough to swap out without making a mess. The power cord doesn’t have an automatic retractor, so expect to be babysitting the cord if you’re moving around a lot. It has a decent amount of weight to it, and is about as maneuverable as you’d expect from an upright.
This might be a good unit if you have a big house with wall to wall carpeting. For smaller spaces, or houses with more hard floors, this is not the best choice. And if you’re looking for a quiet worker, this is definitely not it.

I have panniers, but I was looking for a bag to put my valuables and they take them with me when I am away from the bike. I believe that this will do the trick:)

Much as W.H. Auden achieved with his controversial The Age of Anxiety, Salinger’s “Catcher” revealed to a compliant U.S. citizenry that all was not well in America, contrary to President Eisenhower’s subsequent head-patting.
This is the genesis of a series of period tales concerned with the classic “troubled youth” of 1950s America. Most people became even more aware of this cultural rift through the most famous of James Dean’s three significant films: Rebel Without a Cause (Two-Disc Special Edition).
“Catcher” was published in 1951 and was immediately banned from numerous school and public libraries. But like Peyton Place, by Grace Metalious, young people still managed to acquire a copy, hiding it under the mattress. By today’s standards there’s nothing particularly earth shattering in the novel, just a few instances of the f-word and some sexual tension. But that was pretty radical stuff back in the early ’50s.
The story’s protagonist is Holden Caulfield, a young man who struggles with the ethics of every situation. Since we live in an imperfect world Holden determines that nearly everyone is a “phony” and, as a consequence of his grim paradigm, he’s perpetually disappointed with the human race in general. He wants to “protect” children (thus he daydreams of being “The Catcher” [of children] in a fantasy-based rye field which borders on a dangerous cliff — once these children fall over life’s cliff [depravity] they are lost, in Holden’s view.) As one might expect, Holden has few positive encounters with prospective girlfriends and his interaction with male peers is usually not all that positive either.
This tale is pretty bleak but it does yield its lighter and more hopeful moments. It’s conveyed from the first person perspective of the protagonist, which was no easy task for Salinger. In any case this is fine American literature of the First Water. It seems like a straightforward read but upon subsequent readings one discovers much more.

The Furmenator works as advertised. We use it daily on my Collie Dog and we end up with a lot less fur laying around the house.

Got it recently, put it into my new camera and voila… pics are stored. Took it out and put it into my computer to download…. No problem. Formated it again in my camera to delete all old pics… Works fine. For the price, well worth it. Bought a lot of cheap ones from China but 85% of them don’t work. If it is too cheap, usually a good reason. With these memory card prices dropping a great deal, don’t buy the fake cheap ones. Wouldn’t want to lose pics of my kids to save another $5 or so….
