Well, the Wii is a good console, but the motion controls work poorly and the games are for 3 year olds. Kirby’s Epic YARN?!?!?!?! Get a PS3 unless your 2. If you want motion controls, wait for the sony move.

I have to admit I had high expectations when I ordered this camera for my wife and for Mother’s Day. We have a 3.2Megapixel Sony so the jump to 12MP was exciting to me. The menus are fairly easy to navigate and the touch screen is a plus, although in my case is easier to use the button to take pictures than to tap the screen. The picture quality is very nice and I have it set at the max. The zoom seems a little tricky in the sense that sometimes the pics come out better than other times. The one disappointing feature of this camera is the 720p HD video. I was expecting it to be a lot better quality than what it is. Seems like the files are huge for uploading but the pic quality not all that great; too grainy in my opinion. Overall I would recommend this camera.

My Garmin 305 is awesome. It makes training so much more productive. Instead of having pre-measured running routes and distances, you can simply start running and it tells you the distance, pace, time, heart rate, lap pace and so much more. You can program several different types of workouts, intervals, paces and distances easily. You can customize different pace intervals and heart rate intervals to your specific settings. Initially I had a problem with the pace fluctuating too much to be useful. The Garmin customer support were very friendly and after changing the setting to “most smoothing” I am satisfied. I would recommend this product to anyone training for a run.

Bought this for my husband for his birthday. He absolutely loves it!! He immediately charged it and read the tutorial so he could start using it right away.
He takes the bus to work and is able to listen to music and check his calendar etc. while on his commute.

Overall, we both really enjoy this product and highly recommend it.

Easy to connect to the T.V. Lots of hours of entertainment. Makes for a fun afternoon. I would recommend buying.

This was a Christmas gift for my 14 year old stepson who’s a sports enthusiast. I would say this is age appropriate as well as entertaining for a teenage boy that already loves everything about ESPN. Great price and great gift idea for teens that are hard to buy for – they will look forward to the mail every month!

Sony VAIO VGN SZ760N

The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.

I like this pedometer, it was easy to set up and it’s easy to use. I like how I can just put it in my pocket and not have to clip it on my belt. It helps keep me on track with my exercise.
An Evening With Joe

What you take from this book depends mostly on the type of person you are.

If you spend your life shaking your head at what others around you are doing “wrong”, while internally applauding your own goodness…if you subscribe to narrow-minded views which you call “the Word of God” but which really serve to spread hate and fear against things you don’t understand or which really aren’t any of your business in the first place…if you’ve spent your life denying yourself the joy which could have been yours in favor of doing what you were taught was “right”…if you have ignored the fact that it has been proven and recorded in history that the Bible was originally composed of much more than we know today, but due to man’s corruption (and fear of loss of power over those they ruled) was edited according to man’s agenda…Yeah, you hate this book because you feel as though you’ve been insulted. You will fixate on the fact that it states that there is no heaven or hell, no devil, no damnation. No vengeful, wrathful God to punish those wrongdoers around you. That everything you hung your hopes on isn’t real. After all, this is the God you’ve lived your life thinking you knew, and you’re probably afraid to think beyond that. That’s a shame, because you’re missing the point entirely.

Meanwhile, if you want to live a life of love, joy and peace…if you already believed prior to reading this that there must be more to life than what you see around you with your human eyes…if you already believed that we are all one, and that we are all a part of God, and that we are all meant for more than what we have been taught we are worth, that we are NOT naturally sinful or shameful, that we are all gifted with God’s love regardless of what we do, that we are perfect creations which make bad choices…you’ll love this book as I do, and you’ll refer back to it frequently as I do in order to reinforce the ideas and make them a part of your heart.

Now, am I thinking “Whew, this gi
