I don’t understand all the negative reviews. I have so many memory cards and I’ve never had one problem. We have them in 3 cell phones, GPS, 4 Cameras (Digital SLR to pocket cameras), camcorders, digital picture frames and I am sure there are a few more I am not thinking of. This is my third “class 6″ card and like all of the others it works great. I bought this card for a new Panasonic Lumix camera. The price was the best anywhere (by far), the shipping was fast, etc., etc., etc. 100% satisfied with Amazon, Transcend, the seller and the card.

I bought this pedometer about 18 months ago. I’ve been using it regularly and have had no problems. Battery life is about 6 months or so and the batteries are easy to get. The nicest feature (to me) is that it doesn’t make noise — the mechanical pedometers click with each step, this is completely silent. It is pretty accurate — if you wear your pants lower than the natural waist, it might miss a few steps — also if you walk very smoothly, it will miss steps. Yes, it does work when I stick in in a pocket in my purse.
I Accidentally Domed Your

From August 2009:
I’m still working out how I feel about this book. It was so well written, goes seamlessly between the past and the present. The love story (was it between he and Marlena or he and Rosie?) was lyrically written. The author did an amazing job of pulling me back and forth between the two. I even shed a few tears over a few different things. I’m not an animal activist, but certain parts of this book made me very uncomfortable. The history of the circus is pretty well known. We know the animals were mistreated (heck, they are today too), but the author writes so well about this subject that I found it hard to swallow that lump in my throat. It’s obvious she did some major research into the subject matter.

When I originally read the description for this book, it was on my “skip it” list, but a few of my friends read it and told me I “had” to read it. I’m so glad they did. This was a beautiful book and definitely in my top 10 for the year.

February 2010:
I read this one just six months ago but someone in my book club chose it so I decided to re-read it. It’s always interesting when I read a book a second time, especially if it was one that I really enjoyed (and this was definitely a book I enjoyed immensely.

I noticed things I didn’t notice in the first read, probably because I knew what was going to happen so I found a lot of the little quirky foreshadowing and things. The prologue, of course, caught me and a lot of “ahhh…” moments.

This is a book you must read. It really is that simple. I had looked at it a few times, but it really didn’t look like anything I would want to read, so I kept skipping it. A friend of mine insisted I read it last year and I’m glad she did. It’s absolutely wonderful! Read it.

I was very disappointed in the sound quality and also how hard it was to manage music collections. It does seem to be very durable though.

I can’t recommend this brand of SDHC flash.

I was on vacation and my entire HD videos captured on my Canon HF100 were lost without warning. I’m extremely knowledgeable when it comes to electronics & camcorders, and I was baffled. Just be careful with this card.

Always reformat (or “reinitialize”) when you put it in your camcorder.

The price has actually gone up on this brand for some bizarre reason. (I bought with a USB card reader for the same price 1 year ago @ $41).

Very simple: buy this. Generally, cables are cables. Don’t buy-in to the Monster Cable hype; this HDMI cable is just as good in terms of quality, but light-years ahead in value.
Best price on the net, super fast shipping. I am thrilled.

I Rented this Film because I saw an Ad in a magazine that showed The Cover of the DVD Case with MORGAN FREEMAN Starring and saying what a Great Film it Was! THE AD AND DVD CASE IS VERY DECEIVING! This is By Far ONE OF THE WORST FILMS OF ALL TIME! First Off, if you are a Morgan Freeman Fan, please be aware that Morgan Freeman has a VERY SMALL PART and doesnt even appear until an hour into the film! This Film is so SHAMEFULLY BAD! It looks like it was shot with a Camcorder and the Editing is HORRIBLE! There are parts of the film in which the sound doesnt even match the scene! How a great actor of High Caliber such as Morgan Freeman got suckered into doing this film is beyond me. Maybe he was doing a relative or friend a favor by “starring” in it! The Acting is Terrible and there is NOT ONE REDEEMING QUALITY about this film! Save yourself the agonoy and the money and DO NOT BUY OR RENT THIS DVD! MORGAN FREEMAN, SHAME ON YOU!

Great scale! Its the first scale that does not give different results for weight within few minutes. My previous scale would show 2-3 pounds difference within few minutes. Great looking and worth the money!

Got this pedometer for my wife. She loves it. She likes that it will store data for the last 7 days. So when she updates her walking journal @ America on the Move she can log in once for the entire week. But the best is that it counts aerobic steps and total steps. There are days when she does a lot of casual walking in the office but the intensity and benefits are not the same as when she goes out for a 30 minute dedicated walk. Highly recomment this product.
Birthday Surprise Teddy Bear

This ipod replaced my ipod video. I love the big screen and the ease of use. It takes some getting used to, but after just a few minutes of playing with it, I figured out how to do almost everything. I’m glad that I bought a sleeve for it, as I felt that the ipod seems fragile somehow…it lives with all the rest of my stuff in the backpack and has not suffered any scratches. It’s a great machine.
