This is my first running training aide purchase and I absolutely love it. While it is a little bulky, it is worth every penny I spent on it. The 405 is smaller, but I couldn’t justify the difference in cost to simply get watch functionality (which is buried in the 305) and a slightly smaller package. The heart rate monitor, GPS, and all the training features make this a MUST HAVE when starting to run.

I love my itouch! I can’t leave without it, I’m kind of adicted to it. I bring it with me everywhere I go. I Have watched movies, vĂ­deos, and listen to my favorite music plus playing games. There is a whole new world of entertainment opened to me. I’m very glad for the decision that I made and I encourage the lovers of music, movies and visual entertainment to buy one right away.

I recently flew with the Kindle and found that the airlines are being more clear that Kindles must be turned off during takeoff and landing, like other electronic devices. I left mine in sleep mode but kept it tucked away. The downside of the Kindle is that if you’re stuck on the tarmac for a long taxi and take-off, you can’t read your book, which I found very frustrating, so a magazine is useful to tote along as well.

Also, I prefer to carry it with me rather than leave it in a car on a hot day, which could damage the battery, so sometimes I have to tote it along even though I won’t be using it.

Other than those two issues, I love traveling with it!

We put off buying a new scale for months, assuming the range of options would be daunting. Finally I got tired of changing weight by 5 pounds in an hour, and decided the old one was shot.

I am so happy with this scale! I step on it, and it lights up right away. The display is big enough to read without my glasses — and it registers the same weight when I step on it a second time. We did not need the extra wide version, but found this one sturdy enough to help weigh our son’s checked bags as we flew him to college last week. It was reassuring to know that one bag was within the airline limits – and to know one was not, so we could rearrange.

I highly recommend this scale. it is very attractive, accurate, easy to use — and in the product literature you get the idea that it is made by real people, who really care about quality and customer service.

This is a wonderful and refreshing book about beliefs; a book that answers many questions about life, enlightenment and creation in an exceptional way.
In an inspiring dialog with God, Neale Donald Walsh shows us a new possibility of being whereby freedom and enlightenment are always with us in the moment.

“Enlightenment is the understanding that you don’t need to go anywhere, don’t have to do anything and don’t need to be anybody except for the Being you are now. Heaven, how you call it, is nowhere; it’s now and It’s here.”
This book is an inspiration for anybody looking for freedom and satisfaction in their lives.
Another book I can recommend from my heart is Working on Yourself Doesn’t Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life
With great humor and compassion these two authors show us a way into the moment, where we can find satisfaction and fulfillment in our modern and busy world.

I admit, when this book first recieved its crazed hype and was announced to be produced into a feature film, I did not intend to read it. Me being already smack dab in the middle of another vampire series, I looked at this book and wondered if this was one of the best vampire/romance books ever written, considering its popularity. Also because of the fact that my mother (who could easily pass as a Twilight mom) read the book and absolutely loved it, telling me it was “right up my alley”. Thinking to myself, what’s a girl to do, I decided to dig in to the action.

As you already know, Twilight is about a clumsy, insecure 17 year-old girl who reluctantly decides to part from her mother in Phoenix to spend time with her dad in a rainy town of Forks, Washington. After many anxious days at her new school, she eventually develops a deep infatuation with a mysterious, beautiful vampire named Edward Cullen.

I will say that I did not enjoy this book when I first started reading it, which is surprising for a 14 year old girl to say. This book’s audience is mainly teenage girls, and after reading it I can ssee why. Book 1 mostly centers around Bella’s love for Edward, which is probably why the suspense doesn’t start until the end of the book. It’s buildup isn’t all for the big finale at the end, its also to remind the readers how much Bella cares for Edward, and would even put herself in life-threatening danger to be with him.

When I first started reading this book, I behaved just like a Twilight hater would. I thought Bella was a snobby, self-centered brat who only cared for Edward and his mind-blowing beauty. When you take this book too seriously, that’s kind of how it looks. I stopped reading it until many months later I decided to start from the beginning and read the book all the way, having some strange itch to explore more into the story. After getting past all the annoying remarks of Edward being perfect and gorgeous, I have to say I really enjoyed it.

I bought this book with high expectations after reading all the glowing review. I was disappointed as it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Ms. Gruen is a talented writer, and the book starts off well, but then travels into sappy “chick lit” territory, especially the ending.

However, the one thing that ruined this book for me was the depiction of mental illness. The character August is described as a paranoid schizophrenic. I am not a psychiatrist but I am a mental health professional and his symptoms sound closer to bipolar disorder. Also, August is cruel and violent, to say the least, when acutally most paranoid schizophrenics are NOT VIOLENT. Yes, I know it’s fiction and the author is free to take artistic license, but misconceptions about mental illness are common and this book only furthers them.

Lastly, I understand that the book is being made into a movie with Reese Witherspoon. I like Reese and even though I wasn’t crazy about the book, was thinking of going to go see it until I learned that Robert what’s-his-fang from the horrible “Twilight” series is playing Jacob Jankowski. Noooooooooooooo!

I have been using more than a year now – connected between a laptop and HDTV. The resolution is much much greater than a S-video cable that I have using before. It didn’t cause any problem so far. A couple of times, I didn’t get the sound but it came back later. And, I am not sure whether the problem was in the computer or the cable. Anyway, it is really reliable and I am very satisfied by the product. Besides, when I transfer the signal from my laptop to the HDTV, I don’t have to reset the resolution of the display anymore – it automatically happens. Awesome!
