I received this scale about 2 weeks ago and the first thing I noticed was that the batteries were missing. It clearly states on the box that batteries are included, but mine did not. After going battery shopping, I stepped on the scale and gave me a pretty accurate weight. A couple of days later I had a doctor’s appointment and wanted to check the accuracy of the scale. I weighed myself before leaving the house and I was very happy the weight was the same at the doctor’s office. However, this scale does not give consistent readings anymore after only 2 weeks of use. I stepped on and off multiple times, and always got the same number. Then I grabbed a 5-pound bag of sugar, stepped on again, and it was up 7 pounds. I then weighed myself without the bag of sugar and it was down 5 pounds. I weighed myself yesterday morning and after drinking a cup of coffee, I weighed myself again and it was up 2 pounds. I do like the fact that the scale is very easy to read with the large numbers and the blue backlight, but I will keep searching for the almost perfect scale.

Paul Frank The Space
With the recent death of its author, J.D. Salinger, I felt that it was time to finally do something I have been intending to do for years, read his classic. I was disappointed. Maybe it was because I had high expectations after all the hype. Maybe it was because I kept expecting something to happen, you know, the classic building action, climax, resolution thing. This book is nothing like this.
Written about a couple of days in the life of a teen who was newly expelled from yet another private high school, the author explores the traditionally pessimistic, skeptic, somewhat depressing view that youth has about the world created by his predecessors. Written with plenty of voice, this book is an enjoyable read, as the reader waits for something to develop. I could almost hear the voice of this book’s contemporary, Jack Kerouac, in the pages. But nothing does happen. Maybe that was the author’s point. In any case, I found that disappointing.
3x Telephoto Wa Macro
the only reason i did not give this camera 5 stars is that under really bright light(ie. outside under sunny conditions) – it can sometimes be hard to see the screen – not so much for taking pictures but for making changes for the shooting modes. the resolution of the photo and the size and style of this camera make it a winner. i read just about every review i could find online and the ones that praise it definitely got it right!!!
Fujifilm Finepix Z5fd 6
I own all of the Twilight books, but had to get this one. It is an awesome edition, in a collector’s box. The pages look old and ragged like you would expect the book to be.
3d Puzzle Notre Dame
I had several dog brushes that I used on my Chow Chow/ Collie mix, but no matter how many times I used them, I’d always end up with tons of hair still in my carpets. I bought the FURminator after my sister’s recommendation (she’s a professional dog groomer). The product works wonderfully. It’s quick and easy, and gets out tons of hair with no pain to my dog. It’s a good size for a medium dog (mine is 60 lbs), but for any bigger, I might go for the larger model.
For GPS Garmin Nuvi
A truly wonderful device overall. All in all, very nice for reading email, browsing the web not bad with WiFi, VoIP is fine, great for YouTube type of videos, watching movies is acceptable. Really wish the mic was in the unit, and that GPS had been included, but a very nice unit anyway. The volume control,pause,resume,voice recognition included with the new ear buds is very nice feature of the 3G 32/64GB units.Just got my first iPod, a 32GB Touch. Probably the best user interface on any similar product. Bright, clear screen, amazing graphics, no learning curve for navigating the device. Connects easily to WiFi, voice recognition works well. Browser works well, given the constraints of a HVGA screen. Mike in the earbuds is very clear. Gets four stars instead because sound quality is only good on low and the ear plugs that come with it dont seem to fit that well.
As I read everyones reviews, they kind of give you summary of what the story is about. So i’ll skip that.
Stephanie Meyer takes the concept of Vampires to a whole new level. Still dark, mysterious, but not so sinister that you want to stay away. Just the opposite in fact, after you pass the point of him introducing himself and the meadow scene..YOUR HOOKED! You cannot help but to be part of the forbidden love. The author tells the story perfectly that you feel your right there. I’ve read a lot of a books and some authors take too much time in describing too many minor details..Not Stephanie Meyer.
Its more of a challenge to complete this book and not pick up the rest of the Saga. The infectious craze you see and hear, you’ll understand why and realize that you are NOW apart of it too. ENJOY!!
Wondering what to read next..check out VAMPIRE ACADEMY or what Stephanie Meyer recommends City of Bones..great read too!!
Neoprene Sleeve Case Black
Bought my Kindle a couple of months ago, it’s as good as I’d hoped it would be! Easy to handle, easy to read.. great functionality. The ease with which you can move through the options is fantastic. And I’m not sure they could have made it any easier to buy directly from the Kindle!! If you’re thinking about purchasing one, I can thoroughly recommend that you do! You won’t be disappointed. Love being able to turn it on, and browse literally thousands of books!
