I got this for morning frappes. So far I love it. It makes quick work of it and is easy to clean. I have not used it for soups or tried to blend anything frozen .

Seriously, this thing is amazing. I’ve been brushing my dog for 3 days and it’s STILL getting hair off of her. Apparently she had 4 years of fur stuck under her top coat.
Recommend brushing outside! SO MUCH HAIR!!!
Highly recommend. My dog loves this thing. I love this thing… recommending to all my friends with shedding dogs.

This pedometer accurately counts steps. However, it won’t start counting until after 4 seconds of walking so that it won’t count non-steps, or shuffling, which, I think, is a little too long. For instance, I may take 10 or so steps to travel from one room in my house to the next, but it won’t count those steps unless I continue to walk. I’ve just learned to continue walking (or walking in place) to make sure all my steps count.
The pedometer is pretty big too.
Overall, I’m happy with it. I’ve two other pedometers before and I think this one is the most accurate.

Neale provides a fresh approach to how we can view God – and how God loves us unconditionally. This is a big change from what many believe today, because the prevailing thought about God is one who loves us but also who judges us. Unconditional love means without conditions – and this is a huge leap for one to take. If you are at least a little open to new thoughts, then this book may be for you.
This is the first of many books written by Neale and they have been translated into many different languages and millions have read his new theology. Neale has dedicated his life to helping those of us who desire to know and experience God in a more loving way. Kudos to Neale!

I tested this in two different vehicles over 4 or 5 days and it didn’t budge in either vehicle. Good marks for stability. If you’ve only used suction cup windshield mounts before with a GPS this product puts the GPS a lot closer to you, so you won’t need to lean forward. Also, since it doesn’t use a suction cup anywhere in the design of the product, this product will never drop your GPS on a hot day!
I wasn’t thrilled with the cost, it seems a touch high for a beanbag and a plastic arm, but now I see that the arm mates to an adjustable pivot in the base and it is pretty well engineered.
Overall, this one is a keeper!
UPDATE:
After using this mount on my dash for a couple of weeks I decided the dash needed dusting. Once I cleaned off the dust I noticed that the mount had left a slight “stain” type mark on the dash. The color of the dash where the mount was had darkened enough to tell where the mount had been placed. I suspect plasticizers in the soft material on the bottom of the mount are migrating. I’ll be VERY careful about leaving the mount on my dash for long periods of time!

This book is spectacular. It has lots of suspense and excitement. I was surprised by the ending of the book because it seemed like what Artemis did with the gold, didn’t follow the plot. Artemis Fowl has lots of interesting characters such as: Butler, a super muscled bodyguard of Artemis, a 12 year old genius, criminal and millionaire. The only one to stop them is Captain Holly Short, a member of LEP, the fairy police. In this book Artemis has come up with an evil plan that associates with the fairies, elves and sprites. Read this book to find out what it is!

This was so complicated compared to 2003. Sorry I updated. I guess I’ll have to give it a little more time to “find” the tools when typing a letter, etc.

This is our 3rd … and FINAL attempt at replacing our beloved GE blender. Our first try was a $359 Vita-Mix that we saw demonstrated at [..]. We returned it after a week due to the noise and cost. Then, last night, we purchased a Cuisinart with a food processor attachment. It rattled so much it shook the counters, the noise was unbearable, and it had 5 parts to the canister alone. Finally, went online last night and searched all the reviews for blenders. Found the KitchenAid KSB560 to have the highest ratings (for blenders around $100.) So we returned the crappy Cuisinart today and searched out my KitchenAid. Found it at Bed Bath and Beyond. It is everything a blender should be … heavy duty, quiet, easy to use, quiet, easy to clean, quiet and it blends ice so well that my son and I made snow … real snow in California. Go figure. Get your hands on this blender if you want pure joy!

Wanna have even more FUN with loved ones? Wanna spend more time with someone, but can’t get past awkward conversations? Wanna stream movies and TV shows to your TV, as you like? Turn on the wii, baby (& get Netflix)! From canoeing with family members, to swordfighting with friends, to cow-racing with acquaintances, to watching old episodes of Fraggle Rock, wii will have you laughing, rowing, slashing, lassoing (a la Indy!), and yes, now watching for as long as you can stand it! We’ve had our wii about six months, and it just got better! We just started our Netflix subscription a few weeks ago, and we love that too! With a Netflix subscription that includes the ability to stream, if you’ve got an internet connection to your house, you can watch any one of TONS of movies and TV shows (stuff you can’t get on OnDemand!) My beau was especially excited about the 21 Jump Street Episodes 
Be prepared to spend more than just the purchase price for the wii – there are lots of fun extras that you kinda need, extra wii-motes and nun-chucks, in addition to the games (tip: always read the reviews on the games, I’ve bought a doozey or two, & if i had read the reviews here on amazon, I would have saved my $$ for a better game). But, if you have kids or you are even just a couple who goes out a lot, the wii (& now, netflix) may save you some money in the end, and you’ll spend more time together, doing fun stuff. And after all, isn’t that what life’s all about?
Thanks to wii and netflix, we eat at home more (saves money, gas, & calories); watch fewer commercials (they’re bad for the psyche AND the wallet!); are more active with our entertainment; spend more time with family & friends; spend less time aimlessly channel-surfing; enjoy more varieties of entertainment, like documentaries, old TV shows, and musician stuff; are more conservative with spending $7-15 per person to see a movie in the theatres (that we hopefully will enjoy!); and actually look forward to spending time at ho

Almost the same basic characteristics than previous versions of Microsoft Windows, some improvements, and I hope I won’t confront the rejections and troubles created by Windows Vista. XP was fantastic.
Hope Microsoft learned the lesson.
