Great product, although the time in seconds it takes the device to link to the satellites could be improved.
Small Blue Brown Puppy
I’ve owned my Kindle 2 since the day they were released and I love it. It’s so easy to read on, the battery last forever, the Kindle Store is great, etc. I also owned the original Kindle, and the Kindle 2 blows the original away by a wide margin.
I also own an iPad, which I love. It does so much more than the Kindle, but at a significantly higher price.
The reading experience on the Kindle is vastly superior to the iPad. Whenever I want to read, I always put away the iPad and reach for my Kindle.

This scale is good looking and extremely functional. It is the only scale that I have tried that I get a consistent and accurate weight. The best part is that it is easy to read.
We rescued a little (45-50 lb) mixed breed pup that sheds so much. I was always finding her short fur everywhere in the house and on everything we own! A friend who owns two labradors suggested I buy the FURminator. She couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful it works on her dogs. I ordered through Amazon and received my FURminator yesterday. I was dying to try it and since it was pouring rain outside all day, I used it in the front foyer (I strongly recommend using this outdoors).
Needless to say, I’m HOOKED! This is probably the BEST product out there for dogs that shed! My pup has short-ish fur that is a cross between rhodesian ridgeback and boxer and even though I’ve been diligent about brushing her often, this gadget brushed out almost a half grocery bag full of fur! I couldn’t believe there was that much “dead” undercoat on her. I took my time (about 45 minutes) and she loved every minute of it. Because of her short hair, I was extra cautious and used very light strokes across her fur. Still, the bag filled quickly (as did the “fly-away fur” in the foyer)!
Even though she had been bathed recently, her fur now feels so much softer and looks so shiny. I’m not sure how often I’ll need to use the FURminator, but I think this is truly a great product even for short haired dogs!
Once Upon a Time
I found this book to be a very touching story with an interesting setting. The time period, the place, and the characters come to life in this wonderful story. I don’t want to give too much away but if you enjoy a book that makes you feel as though you are there…this is one! There were times while reading this I wanted to throw a few punches, and other times I wanted to stand between August & Rosie, and times I just wanted to pat the hand of the older Jacob. I’m sorry I finished this book…I will miss these characters.

I’m an 8th grade reading and writing teacher. I’ve read literally thousands of books. This book still rates in my top 10.
I’ve given it numerous times to friends and I have two copies of my own – one to loan out because I tell everyone I know about this book. It’s an amazing read and it’s really different. I loved the book.

I don’t understand why Canadians pay so much more for flash memory cards, this card is twice as much or more in Canadian stores. I’m glad I live close to the border so I can order stuff from Amazon. This card is being used in my Canon DSLR camera. Capacity is excellent, it holds something like 1300 photos at highest resolution. Speed is decent, but not great; if I snap maybe 3 or 4 photos in quick succession, it can sometimes pause before allowing me to shoot again. If you need speed, you might want to check out other cards, although I’m not sure how much of a difference that would make. But for me, I find it works great.
The Nonesuch Dickens 3
I really like this itouch. It has everything my ipod has and more. If I can get WI FI I love to play with the apps especially the brain games and news, sports and weather updates. If you are deciding between an ipod or an itouch I would seriously consider your WIFI accessibily first. If you have access, then go for it!
10 PACK 25 FT
I picked this up not knowing a thing about it except the blurb, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this story of love and betrayal under the big top one of the most engaging tales I’ve read in a long while. I’m not much into romance, but this is so much more than that so I couldn’t pull myself away. As a bonus I learned about the dark side of the circus industry during that era. Gaslighting, where they throw the circus hands off the train in the middle of the night to avoid having to pay them, was a new term to me. Despite the cut-throat world they live in, the young veterinarian protagonist and the circus star he has a crush on, try to rise above it all at risk of life and limb.
What tops it off is the story has one of the most satisfying endings I’ve encountered in a long time. I’ve passed my book along to my mother and it has since gone through the hands of three of my sisters. They all loved it. I’m a big fan.
UR 12 PRO 2
The Diamondback Response Sport is an excellent first MTB. It has most of the components needed to with stand the abuse on off road trails. But so many hours on the trails the bike needed a professional Tune-up. Then after several more hours on the trails and jumps and hard crashes the front forks did hold up but isn’t tough enough to with stand the the abuse of the jumps. I will have to upgrade the spinner edge forks. The seat post is okay unfortunately the seat isn’t clamped on tight, that will be another upgrade. The disk brakes are great had no problems and I love the trigger shifters. I also upgraded the plastic peddles to Metal..you tend to run into stumps branches and trees. Overall I like the bike for the Money but now I know I have to upgrade the forks and the seat post if I want to continue riding safely on the trails.
