This iPod is fantastic. It dose way more than it needs to, but I like that. (I’m using it to do this review)
Razor A5 Lux Scooter

I was really interested to learn more about this time period in the South – we forget how recent this really is, and how much things have changed in 30 years. The characters are endearing. It was slow to get into, but once I did, I wanted to keep reading. Our book club members loved it and highly recommend it to others.
TS417 00 Albert Einstein

As of today I have not completed this book. So far I have been very disappointed. It is not for children to read as it is so vulgar it disgust me. I am no prude but it seems no sentence is complete with out repeated curse words. Louise
Orange Beverage Napkins 50

I bought this to use in my Canon 550D and am extremely satisfied with it’s performance during the few days I have been using it. Also a much better value when compared to the 32GB version. The card handled video recording in the full HD mode without any issues at all. I will be buying another one soon to use as a spare to ride in my camera bag.
Arkon Garmin nüvi 300

I have now used my Garmin 305 for several training runs and a half marathon. This product works great! The HRM is works as well as any other I have owned. Although, it would be nice if the HRM strap was compatible with the treadmill’s at the gym… The GPS has been flawless for me so far. I have had no issues with signal loss even while running on trails that have a lot of tree cover. I usually set my screen up to show, avg pace, heart rate, time and distance. This data has helped me to get the most out of my runs. I love the autolap feature. This feature creates a lap for a preset distance. I have mine set for 1 mile so that I can see how my mile times are throughout the run.

The software that comes with the unit is just ok, but I think that is because Garmin is investing their time in the Garmin Connect website. I use the Garmin Connect website exclusively now. It has more features, better mapping, elevation correction, etc.
Background to discovery Christopher

I admit, it took me a little while to warm up to this series, but now I’m hooked! The audiobook is an incredible performance, as well. Eoin Colfer creates a fascinating new universe that is peopled with equally fascinating characters. It would be a great read for preteens, but as an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I also love the physical book – the cover is much nicer than shown here, and it has uneven, old-fashioned looking rag paper pages. It’s much higher quality material than you usually find in a hardback.
StarTech com Standard Universal

This book was recommended to me by my daughter, and I recommended it to my book club. We unanimously liked it, thought it was a great first novel. I have lived in the South, (TN) and know this is an accurate portrait of the society there in the 60s. I wish Amazon would have let me order more than three copies because some of the book club members could not find copies.

Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900
I’ve heard for 15 years now that the detergents used with carpet cleaners are actually dirt magnets. They leave a residue that attracts dirt. Well I just got new carpets. As it turns out, I also have the carpet’s arch enemies, teenagers and pets! Talk about dirt! Well, I recently read an article by Mary Hunt, entitled “The Best Thing I Ever Bought”. As she is a financial guru and has learned the hard way not to foolishly part with even one penny of her hard earned money, I thought I’d give it a try. Mary suggests that she does not even use detergent. Instead, she spot treats where needed and fills her machine with extremely hot water. She says It works like a dream. Was she ever right. My beige carpet has returned to it’s rightful color. The best part is that now I can keep the teens and pets ;)
OSN Carbon Fiber with

Avon Anew Clinical Dual

I’ve only used it twice since purchase but it has really done the job for me. The assembly is very easy. I have seen some reviews comment on the frequency of emptying the gray water, but I found that is no more often then the rental cleaners. I am so impressed with the steam cleaning that dry’s very quickly. Having pets, that’s a big plus for me. It also worked great on a couple of floor rugs that are too large for my washer.
I haven’t owned it long enough to attest to the durability but I think as long as you follow the instructions on cleaning the equipment and storage after use it should hold up very well.
