Thought it looked cheap and would break when I first looked at it. Also, it’s so light, so it’s kind of deceiving. I was thinking, “how can something so light be so powerful?” When I put it together and turned the vacuum on, I was like, whoa! It’s powerful for it’s size and sucks up a lot at a time. Light, but powerful. Good vacuum. I would recommend it.

Tiny Love Tummy Time

I read this book after being told by a friend that I was similar to the Holden Caulfield character of the book. At that time I was struggling in high school and my parents were mad at me about my poor grades. This was the perfect book to read at that time.

The book is narrated by a young failing student in a boarding school who runs off, stays in a creepy hotel with a prostitution business, he gets drunk at a bar, roams the city, goes to a movie, and runs back to his parent’s home. He has cool adventures and comments to the reader on his disenchantment with society. The book is a page turner. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend it to anyone who was deemed intelligent by their parents but struggled in school.

This game takes computer gaming to a whole new level. There’s nothing like it…period. So it’s gonna be around for a while. Be sure to read the instructions as they will save you lots and lots of headaches. It takes a while to get the bugs out of the OS. But the instructions do a great job of walking you through it.

Yes, I am another one of those suckers that didn’t pay attention to the one star reviews for this item. I wanted to save a few bucks. I got this Transcend SDHC card for a Fuji HS10 camera and took several hundred photos with it. I really wanted to test it. It worked fine. For a while.

Then, at a conference, after I had taken about 300 photos with it, mostly of slide presentations, a major glitch happened. I had accidentally hit the record video button on the camera, and so I moved to delete this unwanted video. Now, I had done this “delete” function a number of times on the HS10 camera, and never had a problem. There is no way on the HS10 to accidentally delete ALL of your photos all at once with this delete button (you can do that only if you go through the main menu and activate the “format” function).

As soon as this video got deleted, this card decided that the rest of the stored photos, some 300 of them, also no longer existed.

Bummer. Fortunately the great Amazon 30-day warranty was still in effect, and I had saved the packaging. I ordered a Sandisk SDHC 30Mb/sec card (which does not run much faster on the HS10, by the way). Yesterday, the Sandisk card arrived, and so I sent this Transcend card back to Amazon today for a refund.

Now, the Sandisk card is about 2.5 times more expensive than this card, so I’ll be REALLY upset if it starts to misbehave also.

The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.
