Like many others I have always thought of Linksys as a reputable company with a decent product for the cost. This is definately not the case with the Linksys Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera I have owned this camera for a while now and after many wasted hours of trying to get it to work reliably I have given up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Even when it does work the picture is fuzzy and forget about getting a usable picture in any type of low light environment. Spend a bit more and get a better quality product.You will be wasting your money with this one.

With the making of a Film based on this book and all of the rave reviews about it, I guess I had high expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I found most of it entertaining, but I think the story lacked in its development, and I never figured out why religion was ever even brought up among the characters in the earlier part of the book, when it apparently had nothing to do with the plot. The ending was also a bit of a let-down because it was just too “happily ever after” for me.

The funny thing is that I’m not a big fan of Circuses in general, but surprisingly, I found the source material to be rather fascinating, So, if anything, this book will propel me to look into more historical reading material on Circuses from the 19th century to the turn of the 20th Century.

Having read all of LeCarre’s previous books, I expected fantastic writing with a bit of a downer ending. Well this one had only mediocre writing and his worst ending ever! I really was disappointed. His writing still outshines most, but pales in comparison to that of his previous books. And the ending? I don’t mind if it’s a bit depressing, but this one was downright obscene. In the last chapter he stops writing and starts preaching, and the sermon is bad for any Americans–we’re arrogant imperialists who faked the war in Iraq for oil and power, and worse than that, we’re at fault for our response to terrorism. Seeing as how that was written by a man whose country didn’t lose thousands of citizens on 9/11, I’m afraid I take offense. My recommendation: Wait for us his next book, probably he’ll do better.

My husband and are going to teach english abroad and thought this would be a helpful tool to bring along. We will be able to store music, pictures and have easy access to any important documents we save on here. It has been great so far allowing us to have quick and easy Internet access during this process of getting everything together. The only thing it is missing is flash, but there are so many apps that are out now that allow access without flash. We highly recommend this product to anyone who is on the fence!

This is an absolutely awesome carpet cleaner. Very easy to use, very little that needs to be cleaned and taken apart between uses. Cleaning is AMAZING! I’ve been renting Rug Doctors for years… this works SOOOOOOO much better!
The Heart Knows Something

This scale came in the mail a couple of days ago, and I really, really, really *wanted* to like it. It’s inaccurate.

Some background info: I’m dieting and losing weight. In the beginning when I was losing weight at 6 lbs, 4 lbs a week, my old scale worked ok. (Taylor brand, non digital) Now that I’m losing weight at the rate of 1 lb a week I needed a much more accurate scale.

Like everybody else I was led into this scale by the negative reviews but figured I’d take a chance at it. Not a good decision. I should have researched more.

Took it out, calibrated it, weighed myself, weighed myself with a 20 lb weight, weighed myself alone again. I repeated this test multiple times, and the first and second weights are always different, ranging from a difference in .2 to over a pound or more. This is unacceptable. I would give this scale four stars if it was only off by .2 lbs or .4 lbs, but it is off by more than that.

Weighing my 20 lb weight by itself yielded results of 20 lb and 20.2 lb. However, the scale is off by more than .2 lb when I weigh myself.

I am very disappointed and honestly feel like crying. I don’t know whether or not to return this scale, as it was a waste of $$ or try to contact the company and ask for a replacement. I go away to college soon and quite frankly don’t have a lot of time for dealing with this issue. My advice to other buyers: Don’t take a gamble on this, like I did. There are enough poor reviews here to negate all of the fabulous ones. Get a different scale. This one is useless if you are looking for a scale accurate to what this scale claims to be.

UPDATED REVIEW:

I returned this scale to Amazon.com. The company emailed me and left a message on this comment before I had done that, but I got a full refund, preferring to take my business elsewhere. The company sent me a new scale of the same model which I received in the mail today, which I was not expecting seeing as how I got a refund. But who is going to complain about getting some
Deluxe 7 Piece Filter

I was born in 1920. I grew up during the Great Depression and the Prohibition eras.

In 1965 we owned a bait and tackle shop in Venice, Florida. At that time the Ringling Bros. Circus wintered there and we became acquainted with many circus people. Our shop was a hangout for them and every evening after rehearsals they would stop by for a beer.

The book: “Water for Elephants” is extremely well written and I am planning to read more of Sara Gruen’s work.
I have ordered two more copies and given them to friends. They have given me very good reports.

I bought this pedometer thinking it could track my distance. It only measures the distance you run in relation to your stride length, not actaul mileage. Totally useless.
