When you can get these cables cheap. I hate seeing people being duped into spending tons of $$$ for A/V cables.

This is the best mixing bottle that I have found to date. The seals on the lid and on the cap work very well, with no leakage, and the blender ball works really well at thoroughly mixing the protein powder and flax meal in my sports shakes. This works better than any of the other products that I have tried, and I’m throwing out my other bottles and buying more of these. Highly recommended.

For the price, you can’t beat this one. I bought it because of CR’s recommendation and Amazon’s reviews. Got ours yesterday and I immediately put it to the test. It is very good on carpet. It sucks! Really! It is lightweight so I can lug around the stairs with ease. Being 7 months pregnant, this is definitely a plus. The only thing I would recommend is to buy the extension hose because it’s a little short and if you use vacuum cleaners like I do (I stopped using those swiffer dusters and just vacuum every nook and cranny of the house with the dusting brush attachment), you will surely find the extension hose a big help. Oh, also, when I use the hose to hand-vacuum the furnitures/curtains, I cover the hose outlet with one of the tool attachments so the dust in it would not flow back up because of the turbulence. I believe in the newer models, they remove the hose outlet cover (I wish they didn’t). Anyhow, that does not deter me from giving this little “sucker” a 5 star rating. It works just like those expensive ones yet for a fraction of the cost and fraction of the weight. Good job, Hoover!

We love this iPod Touch so much that four people in my family how owns one. Very happy with the product. I only wish the charge would last more than two hours.

I enjoy well-written fantasy books, like the Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire series, books 1-7 (let’s forget books 8 -9 happened) and Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series. Those books feature female protagonists who have dimension, character, quirkiness, and occasional flaws. The characters are well-fleshed out and have internal conflicts, as any real person would. They aren’t perfect and they don’t live with perfect people.

Bella Swan, the main character in the Twilight, is a one-dimensional, whiny, sullen, bratty teenager. Her only flaw seems to be that she doesn’t fit in the town and that maybe she’s just too darn pensive and too darn pretty. She’s just too darn perfect. (I’m being facetious….) I won’t divulge much of the plot (little as there is) but during much of this book, Bella is either feeling like she’s too good for Forks (the small town she’s relocated to) or she’s fawning over Edward, the “mysterious” Cullen boy.

The author fails to inject any sense of character into her characters. They come across as flat, predictable and formulaic. Every vampire character is described as beautiful, attractive, alluring, etc. The school kids are stereotypical school kids. No one seems to have any real flaws, physical or otherwise. The “good” vampires are even – gasp – pseudo-VEGETARIANS…! (They feed on animals, but not people.) And of course, everyone knows the joke about the sparkling. If you don’t, I won’t spoil it for you but you can Google or Yahoo it, if you really want to know.

The writing was painful to read. The style read like a teenager’s diary, ironically, it would have made more sense had it been written in that way, ala Bridget Jone’s Diary. I would have more easily forgiven the endless ogling that Bella subjects Edward to. The author tries to write him in a sympathetic Byronesque fashion, but he’s simply bad tempered and chauvinistic. He’s not a tragic hero, Edward is just tragically boring. The supporting characters

I’m not easily grabbed by books, but this one did it fine fashion. I usually read maybe 20 minutes before I go to bed, but I finished this book in four nights including two nights where I stayed up two hours reading. It was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.

We have numerous brushes for the cats and this one is the most effective. The amount of hair it removes is shocking; you’d think the cat would be bald. Whether or not it works for you depends on your cat. One of my cats looooooves the Furminator. I wish the other cat would cooperate but he doesn’t like being brushed no matter what the brush is. Unless you have a small or short-haired cat, this the size to get else you’d be furminating all day.
