Forget renting a machine from the store!

Yes, the other reviews are right that the tank is kind of small. I was able to do about 250 square feet of carpet before I had to refill… but even with that it’s still worth it. Use this thing twice and it’s cheaper than having rented from a store… and with two dogs it’s likely that we’ll use it way more than that.

Do make sure to use as hot water as you can as this really helps it dry faster. I boiled mine in an electric kettle, and the carpet was dry in a couple of hours.

At the age of 63 I started runing in organized runs and realized I needed to monitor my progress without spending a lot and this Garmin 305 has proven to be a good investment. Thanks.

I have used this brand before and find it is great for the price. The type 6 was preferred due to the speed of the application. I have had 4 Transcend memory sticks over the past 12 months (CF and SD) and all have worked flawlessly at speeds necessary to keep up with a multiple high speed sequence shooting using a Canon Rebel Digital. I highly recommend this brand as it is great for the price with the reliability to match.

What is so good about this book is not that it gives you anything new but that it tells you what you already know. The problem is that we have grown accustom to either ignoring or not acknowledging the obvious signs of GOD speaking to us. Whether you believe that what happened to Walsch is real or not, the book serves as good wake up call for all of us to listen to our inner voices and acknowledge that voice as a blessing!

When my teenage reluctant-reader niece raved about this book, I just had to see what the buzz was about this hot bestseller. Although I am not much of a romance reader, I found this book a fun read with interesting characters and enough suspense to keep me reading into the wee hours.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The book was, for the most part, great. I absolutely loved Aibileen and fell in love with both her and little Mae Mobly. The scenes between them were one of my favorites. Stockett does an excellent job of capturing the maternal love that Aibileen feels and she effortlessly brings Mae Mo to life. Reading these portions, my arms often ached to hold my own little munchkin (I usually read at work and thus my little guy is not around to hug). The 2nd maid, Minny, also leaps off of the pages and her story line with the crazy Celia is incredibly entertaining. Now, if the rest of the book was like this, I would have given the book 5 stars but unfortunately, I didn’t find Skeeter’s character to be nearly as believable or fleshed out as Minny and Aibileen. Now, this is curious given the fact that Skeeter is the white protagonist and Stocket, the author, is white. But for some reason, Stockett is able to produce ridiculously warm, rich and REAL black characters but her attempt to create a white protagonist falls flat. Skeeter is one-dimensional and really, not all that likeable, if I stop to think about it. In essense, she steals Treelore’s idea in order to further her own career and she never really has a moment of revelation. Its almost as if Stockett tells us that Skeeter is good but doesn’t really show us that she is and I found that a little hard to swallow. Stockett’s treatment of Skeeter is curiously detached and I found myself wishing that Skeeter was as fleshed out as the maids in the book. Other than that, I found the book to be immensely entertaining and thought-provoking. I’m embarrassed to admit that it was only when I started reading this book that I realized how horribly Blacks were treated not that long ago. I always assumed that after slavery ended, life wasn’t THAT bad for black people. But this book takes place in the 60s — not that long ago. So I started doing research and realized Jim Crow laws were

This book is very engaging. I had a hard time putting it down. I think many of us can relate or at least sympathize with Holden Caufield. At first whim the ending may seem lackadaisical but once you look back on the meaning of the book and its main character it makes more sense.

I suppose I will be labeled a religious fanatic, because I gave this book one star. Oh well, one star anyway.
This book is completely misleading on the nature of God and our relationship to him. Just consider the book on its own terms. Essentially the being portrayed as God in the book tries to convince the author that he has been reincarnated a number of times, and that the 10 commandments are easy to follow if you just realize your dignity in being a god. “God” mentions John 10:34, which includes the words “ye are gods”, and twists the meaning to prove that the author is a god. Obviously this is something lots of people like to hear, but we are creatures anyway.
Much of this book is “ear-candy” because it *sounds* so good. Things like, there is no hell, only bad choices which make you feel small or bad. We can make anything happen through positive thinking. There is no right or wrong, there is no original sin, etc.
Oddly enough, at one point God says no one should drink alcohol in any form. Now keeping with the philosophy of the book, wouldn’t that be a value judgement? According to the rest of the book we are to make decisions based on our *own* experiences, not what other people, religious entities think. When the author mentions that Jesus drank wine, “God” responds that everyone makes mistakes, even Jesus. What!!? As you can see the book is not even cohesive in its own wacky world. “God” mentions the Crucifixion of Jesus, and how Jesus saves us… but what did he save us from? The only “bad” thing we can possibly do is negative or “wrong” thinking. Jesus didn’t do a very good job saving us from *that*, if all religions before Neale Donald Walsch have been wrong.
I want to leave you with one final point. If the “God” portrayed in this book is so kind and loving, and this book is really *new* information, why has God let us wallow in stupidity for thousands of years until our “savior” Neale Donald Walsch came to show us the light? The God I know

Not only is the Kindle a great and innovative method to read with, it is a savior to the environment. Great product with a great future. A little pricey currently, but in time, as this method of multimedia presentation becomes more common, they will more than likely drop down in price. If not for the price I would have given it five stars.
