I like the product but the seller advertised as it being new and it was obviously not. It came ghetto packaged and the headphones were obviously old. They were discolored and tangled up.

After a lot of research which card to buy for my Canon T2i, I went with this one. You can’t go wrong.

I bought into the hype and rave reviews, seeing that thousands have purchased this product to their relative satisfaction, collectively. However, I have to say that I was pretty disappointed once I received the scale.

First off, here’s my disclaimer. First time I stepped onto it, I heard a loud cracking noise, which kind of freaked me out. I thought that I had broken it, on my first try. FYI, I’m a lean 5′6” guy who weighs around 140lb. Anyways, I checked the scale, looking for any cracks or broken legs. Found no suspicious sign. The scale still works after that, so I did not return it. So even if you take my review with a grain of salt, it still says something about the product’s credibility if a 140lb-guy can inflict any sort of damage to the scale on his first try.

Like any cautious buyer, I went on to test this product. Aside from having multiple people testing it and getting consistent results, I also tried various inanimate objects of predetermined weight, and the results were also relatively accurate and consistent. So at that time, my rating would have been a 3.5-4.

About 2-3 months in, results were getting more and more sketchy. I was constantly testing it for consistency with every use and getting more suspicious. I’d put on a jacket, and it’d give me the same reading. I’d weigh something much lighter (my laptop) and then weigh myself again, and I’d get different readings (either higher or lower). BUT if I keep weighing the same thing, I’d get the same reading. It’s as if this little bugger “remembered” the last reading. Whatever the case is, this scale may be precise, but I have serious doubts regarding its ACCURACY, which is what really matters to me.

This book is amazing! I couldn’t put it down! Not much more to say except wonderful writing and absorbing story line.

I just got my SteamVac, and have only used it once, but it performed very well. I used it on old carpeting that has not been cleaned for years, and it really spiffed it up…looks great. My only concern is that you have to refill the tank a lot. I’ll deal with that, tho, because this machine really did the job.
p.s. I don’t know why “this review is from…” says “kitchen”…I did not get it to use in the kitchen….although I think you can.

This is the best GPS I have bought.

It has relevant features to easily find the location you need.

After having to store over 500 books in my garage, I found the Kindle to be a considerable convenience. That being said, I did note a few drawbacks. While the unit doesn’t initially feel that heavy, I found that after holding it for a few hours, it becomes so. It would be better if the unit had a built-in stand so I could prop it up on a table while reading, perhaps with some kind of a cord with a button on the end to turn the pages. I also would have liked it better if the screen had a built-in light to illuminate the screen that could be turned on and off so I could read in bed while my husband was sleeping. It also makes a clicking noise when turning the pages which is annoying to a person trying to sleep while I’m reading. I don’t like the toggle switch at all and the fact that the cursor lands on the “buy” button automatically when I want a book description. I inadvertently purchased more than one book because I thought I had pushed the toggle switch up to another button, but actually didn’t. Not only is this frustrating, but it seems a little dishonest to me.

It is everything and more. I had no idea you can go on the internet, get news and weather and more. Go get one yourself. It’s great!

This is a wonderful story. Historic fiction with drama and angst. Animal lovers will hate and love this story. Jacob is such a wonderful character and teaches so much by sharing his story. A reminder that love and goodness are worth fighting for…also a reminder that the elderly are worth your time.
How to Have That

The compilation of articles in this very entertaining and informative book, gave me several insights into the different aspects of writing. I am constantly surprised and delighted by the variety and depth of the articles. I particularly appreciate the “practical” aspects of what an author does once their book is published. I also liked the website information that is included. This is not a book to read in one sitting.
I’m always looking to read a good book on writing, and this definitely will be added to my collection.
