Easy to program, accurate step counting, fun to use. Easy to use measurement tool for measuring 10,000 steps a day.
Listener Anthology No 1

I had some problems installing this, had to be done twice. I wish it would integrate or replace my Microsoft Office 2003 but instead I seem to have both on my computer so when I open an old document, it’s opened with ‘03 and sometimes I accidentally open the old Word. I wish I just had ONE Word so things didn’t get confused like this. Could be doing something wrong, but it should be easier than this, it’s not like I never use computers, I’ve been using Microsoft and Word for at least 15 years.

Other than that, I didn’t like the tool bar change from 2003 to 2007 that took a lot of getting used to and still have to spend some effort finding somethings. With use, as with everything, it gets easier. And all in all it is fine, it’s not like I would go back to only using 2003.
Water and Sanitary Sewer

I couldn’t believe the hair that the furminator removed from my dog! It does the work a regular brush can’t begin to do.
It was definitely worth the money.

I loved this book. Don’t get me wrong, there were a couple moments where I doubted the practicality of some events, but overall I thought it was quite believable. Gruen beautifully paints pictures with her words, and I felt that the story unfolded at a perfect pace. The only thing I didn’t like was the way Marlena, the female protagonist, was portrayed. I’m not a fan of weepy women. Besides that, I thought it was fantastic.
Coiled USB Cable for

It came in the mail yesterday and I had it up and running in about 15 mins. So installation gets 5 stars. And it definitely works as an extender as I am now getting full signal strength upstairs in my bedroom while the router is in the far corner of the basement. All appeared to be good until I started to do more than surf the internet. I couldn’t hold a connection to my company’s VPN and I kept losing connection when I tried to download podcasts to itunes. I unplugged it and I haven’t seen the problem since, so it has to be the extender causing the issue. It not only causes a problem with my laptop upstairs, but any computer on the network. The D-Link forum has several complaints with the same issue, but D-link has yet to respond to these complaints. The closest I saw to a recommended fix was in their Knowledgebase – they recommended changing the “Preamble” setting to “short” (default is “long”) for busy networks or for downloading large files. I will try this when I get home tonight and see if this corrects the issue.

UPDATE: 5/26/2010 – I switched the Preamble to “short” and that did nothing to solve my problem. Back to the ol’ drawing board! Next stop, tech support. Ugh!

UPDATE: 6/3/2010 – I emailed customer support a week ago and have heard nothing. Also, they have failed to respond to their own customer forum regarding this same issue. Lame, very lame. They leave me no option but to return this item.

I got this vacuum put together within minutes and plugged it in. After turning the vacuum on, I thought my carpet was going to rip up from the concrete. Works excellent. Great buy for the price.
Vivitar Series 1 High

Have been able to use it for cycling also. I can now know the milage of some of my favorite running routes and more accurately keep up with my weekly milage for training.

Under $3 and free shipping. Easily the best value ever. I have 3 HDTVs with Dish Network DVRs hooked up with these very same HDMI cables, and the picture is stunning on all. Also have 2 PS3’s hooked up with these cables, and again the picture is flawless. Don’t fall for the overpriced cable hype. These are solid, well constructed, and deliver top quality signals.

This is the first time in over 50 years of reading that I was absolutely spellbound! I am addicted to the whole Twilight Series! I have only read a couple 500 page books in my life and they took me over a month each. I read all four of the Twilight series in one week each! Amazing stories, gripping drama and dripping romance! Wow, what a ride!

This book has been the most insightful book of my life. I owe so much of the richness of my life for the past 10 years, the relationships formed and bonded, the beauty and peace I experience, to what I learned from this book. I have shared it with many others who also expressed the same. This is one way of many to find the path to understanding how we are all one and realize who we are in this world. I hope everyone can find that for themselves. This book can be the way for many.
