Ordered a bunch of these, to connect up to a new LCD TV.

No complaints whatsoever – they do their job, and at a no-regrets price. Honestly, it’s almost hard to believe that retail price for HDMI cables once stood at the $25-30 range for a single cable (and you can still spend this much at some places, if rumours are true), when perfectly servicable cables are now available at this price. Amazing.

I’ve been using this pedometer for a while now. It is a nice product, works really good, meaning it works as its description says it will. It is really light weight. I like that it has the extra safety attachment, so it won’t fall on the ground when accidentally gets out of it’s plastic holder. It is really easy to use. To have accurate results, must measure very well the length of the step. I had to do that couple of times until I got it right, but that has nothing to do with the product itself; it must be done right regardless of the product used, to have accurate measurements. I would recommend this product to anyone. It brings awareness of how much we move or not move our body during a day, and indirectly stimulates a person to move more.

A.Lin, how far did you want it to go? A quarter mile? A criticism about range without some point of reference is not useful.

I have the IonKids Child Locator which costs about twice as much but has always performed very well for me. It works on the same principle – medium range direct wireless connection (no GPS). It has a more sophisticated tracker screen and one receiver will manage 4 or more transmitters (on 4 or more children). I had the opportunity to test it (the IonKids) with four kids at a museum and it worked pretty well if they all stuck together. They could be a big room or more away and still within maximum range. It has an adjustable range threshold at which it sounds the alarm. Sorry this review is more about the IonKids product but it seemed like these reviews needed a point of reference.

I encourage reviewers to give some kind of specific distance reference when they comment either good or bad. I don’t own this Levana product but it sounds like its range and functionality is commensurate with its price, as compared to the IonKids product. You can find it right here on Amazon.

Very cool looking scale and easy to reas LED.The drawback is the accuracy. the scale gives the illusion that it is measuring to the nearest 0.1 pounds but it is not. You can test this. If you pick up a light object (less than 1/2 lb ) and get back on the scale, the reading stays the same as when you weighed yourself without the object. I’d estimate the scale actually measures weight accurately to the nearest 0.4 lbs which isn’t great. But if you don’t mind this drawback, everything else about the scale is quite good.

***SPOILER ALERT***
Put this novel on the FUN READ shelf. Definitely nothing mind-blowing in terms of plot or prose but a very entertaining look at depression era circus life.
The author alternates (for the most part) chapters between Jacob’s life during the depression and his life as a 90 year old in a nursing home. One gets the sense that the author seeks to evoke some sympathy for the 90 year Jacob’s plight. In this endeavor she fails as she never fully fleshes out his relationship with his children. Thus the reader is left feeling slightly apathetic as to his plight as a lonely and ornery old man wasting away in a assisted living facility.
Finally, the ending is a bit contrived and convenient. The frail old Jacob making a break for it out of the retirement home and going to the circus event that is in town. There of course he meets and befriends one of the circus directors who spirits him away on their cross country tour. Happily ever blah blah blah.
All of this is not to discourage someone from reading this novel. The author can write with rhythm and keeps the pacing light and quick. Viewing the novel as a love story, the author is adept at capturing the dual emotional nature of love with phrases like: “exhausted and recharged, desperate and fulfilled.” With a good writer, this book would make a great movie.

Everything is as it should be. Shipping was fast. Great product. We like the fact that we could install on more than one computer.

I just loved this book and found myself staying up late because I just couldn’t put it down. I recently heard they are making the book into a movie. Hopefully they can capture this spectacular story! Loved it!
