I ordered 2 of these, one for myself and one for my husband. For some reason my husband wasn’t getting as many steps in as I was so one day I wore both of them and his did read about 500 steps less than mine did at the end of the day.

One of the reasons I bought this was because of the extra clip that hooks to your pants. Good thing I did because it has come off several times but the extra clip has kept it from completely coming off.

If you want something accurate this one isn’t it but it will give you a good idea of how many steps your walking a day.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is about a 12 year old boy who is a genius but the sad thing is, he is also a criminal. One day he and his butler go to a forest and find a drunken fairy. Then they take this fairy book from it and translate it to English and then they figure out there is some sort of fairy Gold.

This books theme is that you should never give up, never stop trying, and always keep your head up. For example, this fairy says Artemis can’t do a certain task, but he still believes he can do it.

I like this book because it always makes me wonder what’s going to happen in the next chapter. I think it would make you have the same feeling. So maybe you should read this book.

After my 12-13 year old Eureka finally started showing it’s age while still doing a decent job, I bought the Hoover Tempo Widepath Upright Vacuum, Bagged, U5140-900 from a local Do It Best Hardware store– I figured the few extra dollars it cost at the store was worth the convenience, in case I needed to return it. As a test, I first vacuumed my 3-room apartment using my “suficient” old Eureka, and then re-vacuumed with the new Hoover. Although my old vacuum seemed to perform better than it had in months (as though it somehow “knew” it was being compared to it’s new replacement), when I re-vacuumed with the Hoover, it sounded like I was vacuuming the parking lot. I couldn’t believe all the sand and dirt I heard it picking up!

I had been hesitant to buy this particular vacuum, because of reviewers’ complaints of it being too loud and made of cheap plastic, and needing frequent bag/belt replacements. Although it’s not a quiet machine, it’s not as loud as my regular-sounding Eureka was. In fact, my cat (who always runs and hides when I vacuum) actually stayed in her cat bed and watched as I ran the Hoover for the first time. Who says vacuuming is supposed to be a quiet chore, anyway??? Yes, the attachments are plastic, but no flimsier than the Eureka’s, which I found to be more than adequate. The Hoover’s plastic body helps keep it light-weight, yet it’s sturdy enough for the job. I’ve only had the Hoover for 13 days, and I’ve used it 3 times– haven’t broken a belt nor filled a bag, but when the time comes, I will probably order replacements from Amazon, as I believe the prices were lower when compared to WalMart. The vacuum came (from the store) with 3 bags, which may need to be replaced often only by virtue of the fact that this machine picks up so much dirt! The light-weight construction and strong suction make this model very easy to use and virtually self-propelled.

No complaints at all. A fraction of the price of other cables in stores, and this one works just great for me. Would definitely buy again if I ever need more.

I’m a web developer and bought this book hoping that it would–as advertised–teach me how to setup and install a working LAMP server. I found this book to read more like a checklist than anything. Install this, uncheck that. The book provided little insight as to the reasoning behind these decisions, nor did it provide any detail on how to fine tune or configure some of the more arcane components like email or ftp. It definitely did not teach you anything about how to live and operate in the Linux environment. These I had to figure out on my own. This book reads like a free website article repackaged and bound. Stay clear of this one.

I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to use HDMI cables and I knew I didn’t want to spend 30.00 just to try it out. These were perfect, they were low cost and they work great. Anyone who is unsure should try these, I like them, I use them, and I’m not spending 30.00 for 1 sinle cable

The Omron HJ 112 Digital Pocket Pedometer is an awesome product for the price. It is as true a pedometer as we have found. It is a true step measure (not necessary to exaggerate your steps and doesn’t measure “no” steps). The aerobic feature is nice too for those who do a focused exercise program and want to count those steps and time.

The Wii is what you expect. The graphics are good enough and the games so far are pretty fun. I do like that it has the weather and stuff on the main page.

I have 2 copies, one for the house and one for the car. I have read this book over and over. I’m just kinda crazy about it. I found out that Kennedy’s and John Lennon’s assassins and the guy who shot Reagan all had copies of this book. Kinda creepy but still a good, fun read.
