I read this book because it is considered a classic. That was the only reason I finished it. I absolutely hated this book. To me it was the whining of an adolescent crybaby, nothing more. I really can’t understand how this came to be a “classic.”

I have a healthometer upright scale but wanted a portable scale to take on a road-trip. This scale is lovely to look at, accurate, easy to read, backlit, and travel-ready (for car trips). I am very pleased. Works on all surfaces.

We purchased this vacuum with high hopes given the reviews here, but quickly ran into a huge problem: the vacuum pulls “fuzzies” out of our carpet like nobody’s business. Even with it set to be as high off the ground as possible, a sweep of the whole house yielded hundreds of carpet fuzzies laying about all over the place. Worse, the vacuum was literally *jam packed* with carpet fiber – the intake, hose, everything.

It took about an hour to clean the whole thing out. (It really was incredible how much was stuck in there. It was completely unusable.) I was left with a shoe box sized box full of packed carpet fiber to throw out, as well as all the fuzzies strewn about to pick up.

My theory is that the roller is simply too close to the ground, even on the high setting. I don’t think it’s our carpets, which are of the typical new house short, textured plush variety. Nothing old or shaggy or anything.

I fixed this issue by disassembling the intake cover and putting a washer underneath each screw channel. This pushed the base of the intake further out, thus decreasing the protrusion of the brushes. After this modification, all seems to be well. The added bonus is that the vacuum doesn’t leave such noticeable lines in the carpet.

Upon close examination of my mother’s $400 vacuum cleaner (I don’t recall the brand) I noted that on the high setting the roller is completely disabled. Perhaps Hoover makes up for poor suction power by heavy reliance on the roller. Whatever the reason, I’m afraid I would not purchase this unit again.

My dog, a golden ret./border collie mix sheds year round and this is the first brush that really keeps it under control. And while some rake-style brushes have hurt him before pulling off some top coat with the bottom coat, he nevers minds being brush with the furminator.

Strangest thing. Worked on my computer at first and not my blue-ray player. After redoing some wiring, it stopped working altogether. Bummer.

What an awful book. Written in 1951, this book originally sparked great controversy with its mature themes focusing on the teenage angst, loneliness and rebellion of the protagonist Holden Caulfield. I guess its like a really bad version of James Dean’s classic Rebel Without a Cause. Caulfield is the archetype of an underachiever. Today kids are reading about the latest sluggard – Greg Heffley from The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The characters Greg and Holden have a lot in common.

Catcher in the Rye follows the life of Holden Caulfield for a few days after being expelled from Pencey prep school as he returns home to New York City and contemplates life. Although, Caulfield does little contemplation and spends most of his time whining and complaining about everyone and everything. He sees the negative in everything (except his little sister) and makes one bad and offensive decision after another for almost 300 pages of misery. The only value I can find in reading this book today is to use Holden Caulfield as an example of what NOT to be – lazy, negative, and uninspired. Unfortunately the latest version of Holden Caulfield appears to be as popular with readers today as Catcher in the Rye was fifty years ago. When are we going to wake up and stop celebrating negative characters like Holden and Greg?

I have an classic iPod and thought it was great. The seamless integration with iTunes makes life so simple that it’s amazingly foolproof to set up and use.

The thing that blew me away was the screen. Wow. And the amazing breadth of the device. In addition to all the stuff that the iPod classic does, the world of the App Store is at your finger tips. Sure a lot is dependent on your wifi access. But most is not – games and info apps galore. An amazingly versatile machine.

The one thing I would criticize is not ipod Touch specific – it’s iTunes specific. But since the two are inseparable, it loses a star on the overall review from my perspective. That is, there is abolutely no reason why you can’t have an online library in the clouds. It’s a pain in the butt to transfer things that I bought in the past to a new computer. No reason why, such as Amazon’ Kindle or the Barnes & Noble Nook why you can’t have an online library and download your stuff to certified devices. And if you register the device with Apple, they have to know its you.

Just one guy’s opinion.

Lastly – it could be cheaper…..;

This book was so GOOD….one of those that you simply cannot put down, no matter what else is on your “to do” list. It was so good, that I went out of my way to get to the gym, so that I could read on the stairmaster or bicycle in peace…without kids or husband for interruption. I probably lost 5 lbs. while reading it…

I love pedometers; great all around daily number to keep one pushing the activity. I wanted one for my pocket. This fits the bill, but barely. It’s too big. Compared to my other pedometers, it seems accurate, but the thing’s just too clunky. Too bad, going back on Ebay tomorrow.
