You know, I first tried to read this book when it first came out and it offended me. Now all these years later, I picked volumes 1 and 2 up at my local library. Still feel the same way. There are so many wonderful sacred texts to read why would anyone waste their time with this? The real clincher for me came in volume two when he is discussing sex and children. And I quote: (Page 105)

” In some societies, parents couple in full view of their offspring-and what could give children a greater sense of the beauty and the wonder and the pure joy and the total okayness of the sexual expression of love than this?”

This simply outrages me. This guy is one sick puppy.
Classic Straight USB Cable

Works great. Picks up anything on any surface. Lightweight, easy to operate and handle. It’s not as quiet as some, but I don’t mind as I don’t use my vacuum 24 hours a day. The hose and attachments are surprisingly really strong. They pick up almost anything.

Brought the Itouch back in Feb or this year great little gizmo– was able to put all of my music, pictures on it and have downloaded several apps. The only problem that I have had is that it froze up on me, but I went to Itunes site and found out how to fix the problem. I’m not sure why it froze up but it hasn’t happened since. I checked Wally World for the Itouch and they wanted $295.00 for it, got it at Amazon.com for $265.00. Ever little bit helps.. would recommend it to anyone. I gave it four stars for sound quality because of the speakers??. Head phones are great.

I can’t exactly add much to the already glowing reviews on this product, but I had to add my two cents. I was doubtful that a vacuum at this price could actually provide quality cleaning. I was wrong. I haven’t had it too long, but it picks up just about anything on both thick carpet and tile floor. My husband is allergic to dust-mites, which is the reason we bought this vacuum. It actually seems to be helping.

I only used it a couple of items, but I am really satisfied as I can accurately keep track of the distance, current speed / pace and heart rate if desired. I recommend it.

I have owned 6 different gaming consoles. All of the Nintendo’s and the Playstations. The Wii beats them all! The assortment of games offered are amazing and the get up off the couch playing is totally a plus. Though don’t over do it…my arms were killing me after the first night. The Wii is easy to set up and understand. The controller took a few tries to get use to (never played with a wireless).
My husband and I play everyday and we even have Wii date nights. If you are buying for children (especially if you have couch potatoes) the Wii is it. There are plenty of kid friendly games to choose from plus most of the games are fun for adults. I know because I bought some for myself. The price is good and you wont be a lump on the couch.

We purchased Wii two years ago. We use it so much that it just finally wouldn’t play anymore. That’s when we ordered another one from Amazon. Couldn’t let a day pass without Wii!!. We had been playing the “sports” cd, but thought we’d try something different. We got the game of Monopoly. Mindless.Needing only a hand to play. We were skeptical, but pressed on. What the game lacks phyically, it makes up for emotionally. I have to have Boardwalk. Oh, oh, my opponent just put houses on his property. And then, there’s this little man who runs around the board letting all the players know what’s happening and ad-libing about the actions of the players. Like, if you want to trade with another player, he states how exciting that is for him. It’s a fun, addictive game. A game for the family. I admit it doesn’t take alot to keep me amused, but remember the word “mindless”. For me. 4 out of 5 stars.

Catcher in the Rye has many relevant meanings for the teenagers of today. Holden Caufield’s confusions and frustrations are those of most teenagers who want to connect with other people and belong to a certain social quota. J.D Salinger presents to us a novel full of symbolism, imagery, and adolescent complexity that fufills it’s overall goals of giving us a glimpse into the life and psyche of a troubled and disturbed teenager who tries making connections with people he doesn’t know ending up in, as mean as this may sound, humorous failed attempts. The overall theme in this novel doesn’t comply any moral as did Ovid’s fables back in ancient Greece. Catcher in the Rye tends to be more interpretive in that manner. Holden’s inability to truly connect with people is due to his inability to immature and let go of pain.
“People never notice anything” (Pg 9). It’s in this quote that we really see what type of person Holden really is. Nobody around Holden seems to understand him, seems to understand his angers and confusions. Everyone is just as about as “phony as he is”. It’s in these beginning chapters we notice that something is wrong with Holden. something that doesn’t quite match up. He’s a white male with well-off parents that can afford to send him off to boarding school and he purposefully flunks out by not even attempting to study. It’s not until later on in the novel that we learn of James Castle and his brother Allie that there is a reason for this rebellion and personal wall that he has erected for himself. It’s how Holden breaks this wall that makes this book powerful and a very compelling and humorous read.
