My daughter loves this camera!!. I purchased this as a xmas gift and was unsure of the quality but needless to say my daughter can not put it down. The batteries have held up well considering the use. We got her the reuseable batteries and a charger.

I was more or less forced to buy, because I purchased a new computer. It was a learning curve to figure out where everything I use in Office 2000 was, as the format is all-new. The biggest drawback is new document extensions (.docx instead of .doc), and they are not fully compatible. I guess Bill just needed even more money.

Our carpets and oriental rugs needed a good cleaning (dusty climate, pets, and time). I compared the price of professional cleaning, renting a rug doctor, and buying my own. I made the right choice. The unit is powerful and aggressive. We boil water prior to filling the reservoir. A quick one-two with a spot cleaner then the steam vac. It was amazing what the SteamVac pulled out of the rugs and carpet using hot water only. The oriental rugs, which we had always professionally cleaned were put on the deck to clean so as not to damage the wood floor. They dried quickly, colors did not run or fade. Cleaning just one rug paid for the unit! The wall to wall carpeting came out looking like new. They feel amazing with bare feet. Another bonus – my allergies are better. Biggest drawback – the very powerful motor is also rather loud.

A novel resurgence of an old romantic genre. Although vampires, themselves, don’t lend themselves to be endearing characters, Meyer successfully puts them into human-like conflict situations that we can all relate to. In a rare instance, the movie adaptation is better than the book itself because the subtle effect of black/white cannot be translated in a book. Skillful filmmaking on their part, all of which makes for a compelling series of adventures.

I absolutely love this watch. I was a little nervous about buying it after reading some bad reviews but I am soooo glad I bought it. It is true, it takes some time to acquire the satellite signal but I have not experienced a drop in the signal.
The GPS is very accurate. I mapped my route before running and when the watch said I was done… I was done! You can set it to let you know when you reach certain distances. I have mine beep every mile and it helps my runs along. Also, I love breakdown it does, on the computer and the actual watch. Based on your settings it let’s you know what your pace was for each interval, your average heart rate, and your max heart rate. Another plus is that it is very easy to load my runs from my Forerunner 305 to my [...] profile. And based on the information you can plot different parts of your runs against each other.
I must say I just LOVE this watch and you should definitely get one!!!

Although this cd is for the Nikon D5000, it is an excellent tutorial on digital photography in general.

The Help brought back to mind the time my mother and I went shopping at Fort Worth’s Monnig’s Department Store in the early ’60s. I vividly remember drinking from the Colored water fountain and being disappointed that the water was the same old color as always. Mother explained what the sign really meant, and thus I was introduced to The Way Things Are.
Skeeter Phelen accepts her privileged status as just the way things are. Growing up in Jackson, Mississippi, she has no idea that her family’s Negro maid might feel anything but gratitude for her employers. Even a degree from Ole Miss fails to educate her to the plight of Blacks in America. But returning home opens her eyes to the arrogance of her peers and the longsuffering of a group of black women she has always taken for granted. Two maids, Aibileen and Minny, courageously agree to tell their stories to Skeeter for inclusion in a written exposé that Skeeter hopes to submit to a New York publisher. Their collaboration breaks down the barriers between the classes, and convinces them all that they have more in common than they thought.
Kathryn Stockett writes her story in three distinct voices–Skeeter’s, Aibileen’s and Minny’s. Her expert depiction of Southern dialect adds flare to an already gripping story. I even read parts aloud in order to savor the flavor of the South.
This book is an excellent read, one I will come back to again and again.

I am new to the DSLR experience and after wavering for 3 weeks I finally ordered this kit. If you are on the fence on what camera to buy…this is it! My first shots using this camera are impressive. Now I know it takes a photographer to make a great shot, but this camera does a lot of assistance. The kit is a full package leaving not much more to buy other than different lenses. I am extremely impressed with the D90 and this kit. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You will love it!

I am twenty-two years old. Probably not the oldest reader of this series, but I had to put my two cents in for this book and the others that follow.
I am up to ‘Lost Colony’ and having read the four books preceeding it, I have to recommend Artemis Fowl to anyone even slightly interested in the teen-fantasy genre.
I read the first novel when I was sixteen or seventeen and loved it. It’s a creative joyride, with some humorous and epic encounters, and the pages never stopped turning until I came to the last line. The story involves a literal boy-genius, twelve year old Irish lad Artemis Fowl, as he uncovers a secret underground society of fairies and the like. He eventually comes face-to-face with the hero of the tale (Artemis can be seen as an anti-hero of sorts), a young female fairy named Holly Short, an employee of the LEPrecon (get it?) police division.
Personally, I chuckle at things like LEPrecon. It’s funny and it becomes obvious Colfer is a great(er) writer as you move from page to page.
Personally, I find Artemis Fowl to be a much more enjoyable read than Harry Potter. I barely got into the first of the series and it was almost painstaking to do so. Artemis Fowl reeled me in and, obviously, I’m hooked. Looking forward to the ‘Time Paradox’ in July. You should too.
