Pay attention to the bad reviews here for all the details on poor quality, bad toys, awful music, etc. My baby was crying within the 1st minute of watching. Just to make sure it was the video and not a “mood” I put in my Baby Bach DVD from Baby Einstein and he watched the whole time. This is DVD is bad, bad, bad. Thank goodness I borrowed it from the library instead of paying any money! I think my child would have a better time watching paint dry.

It does the job okay, and it paid for itself the first time I used it. My carpet was pretty dirty, and it looks substantially better after, but not almost new, as some reviewers have said. I have read that the key is to go SLOW. So slow, I went, but to my disappointment, I needed to refill the water quite often, which was annoying. The next time I use it, I plan to go over the carpet, let it dry completely, then go over it again the next day. I suspect that will produce better results. Three stars is because of the inconvenient frequent water changes for a room approx. 500 square feet.

Ordered this, received it within a couple of days…with many pieces floating around the box…in the actual machine box (no special packing around the box, which was not meant to ship something this heavy in). Anyway, long story short, the item was damaged and returned. That’s the bad news. The good news is Amazon quickly credited my purchase and I’m a happy camper. After that experience, I was nervous to purchase something so large online and I was able to find this at WalMart, for about the same price…so that is where the five stars comes in, as I have been bought and used it and love it. It isn’t as sturdy or those carpet cleaners you can rent from the store, but really, does it have to be??? It is bulky, kind of heavy, but for a carpet cleaner, not really. It does a great job of cleaning. I hadn’t steam cleaned my carpets since moving into my place a year and a half ago and am not someone with a great deal of dirt and grime, no outside animals, no children…so my carpets shouldn’t get that dirty. The cleaner pulled some dirt up, for sure…lot’s of sand from one room, in particular (I live right on the beach). Anyway, it’s money well spent…I just wouldn’t have it shipped.
Casio Men s Analog

I 1st purchased this book in paperback but I fell in love with these books so I purchased them again so I would have them to re-read over and over again. I love the feel of the book and the rough edged on the pages make it feel more like a treasure. The ribbon bookmark is not only convienient but beautiful. The autograph is a nice touch as well. I highly recomend this. I love the twilight saga and would recomend it to all Twi-hard fans.
Huggies Supreme Natural Fit

I have had the Hoover SteamVac for a few weeks. And yesterday I finally put it together. It was a simple task to put the pieces together. Then I tried it on my carpet for the first time. I am actually quite surprised at how clean my carpet was after only one use. I also liked that the Vac felt sturdy. I have had products in the past that felt cheaply made and would fall apart. The Hoover SteamVac feels sturdy and I am sure I will be using for many years to come. And as I have shared my experience with the Hoover SteamVac…well of course I am getting requests to borrow it. I will be taking it to my Moms’ and doing her carpet soon.
So overall I am very pleased with this Product. Ordering was easy and I am a happy camper to have my Carpet…..Spic n Span…LOL
Neoprene Zip Skin Comfort

The book Artemis Fowl is a quick fictional read. In its plot are fairies, elves, sprites, gnomes, dwarves, and goblins. Artemis Fowl is the main character, a criminal mastermind who plans to steal gold from the fairies in order to make his family rich.

Artemis managed to find a fairy and get the fairy’s Book, a book that every fairy carries around. The Book held all the secrets of fairies. Unfortunately for Artemis, the book was written in the “old tongue”, the fairy language, which no human understood. However, this was no large obstacle for a genius like Artemis. He quickly decoded the book and used the secrets described in it to capture a fairy (captain Holly Short) to hold ransom for a ton (literally) of 24 carat gold. In the end, the fairies got back half of the gold and a dwarf stole the other half.

For me, this book is as interesting and as attractive as Harry Potter. However, if you prefer to read realistic stories, I do not suggest this book for you.

This pedometer is fantastic, After having such bad luck with previous pedometers–one broke when I dropped it, another was just impossible to figure out settings–I decided to give the Omron a try based on another amazon review.

Am I glad I did. First, the pedometer has a separate latch in addition to a belt hook, so today, when the belt hook detached from my jeans, the latch attached to my pocket caught it and it didn’t hit the floor. Second, the set-up is so simple, even I could do it!!! Third, it gives you both total steps and aerobic steps, so you don’t have to keep substracting your workout walk from your daily total. And fourth, you can stick it in your pocket if you want to and it actually works!!! No more trying to make sure that it is positioned directly above your knee.

The price is right and this is a wonderful product.

Our carpet had been neglected for a while. We always rented a Rug Doctor and it was becoming quite a hassle to pick it up and return it. Lifting it in and out of our car’s trunk was another hassle we wanted to do away with. I purchased the Hoover F5914-900 after reading the reviews. It was easy to assemble.

This steam cleaner is much smaller & lighter than the Rug Doctor we are used to using, making it easier to push & maneuver around. However, because of the smaller size, we emptied and filled the upper and lower tanks, eight times while cleaning our 12′x 26′ carpet. The clean solution tank holds one gallon of water (one reason for the light weight). The instructions say to fill it with hot tap water and the detergent which is easily measured using the tank’s cap as a measuring cup. The unit itself cleans about a 11-11.5″ wide area and doesn’t clean close enough to the woodwork to suit me. So, I used the stair/upholstery nozzle to clean next to the woodwork and other tight areas. That tool did a good job for us. Hooking it up was a bit confusing and my hubby was worried that he was going to break the clear, recovery tank front panel. It pulls down a little hard, just don’t force it. There is also a powered hand tool that has rotating brushes included with this steam vac. I didn’t feel the need to try out this unit’s Clean Surge feature because I had already pre-treated the bad areas.

Vacuum your carpeting before steam cleaning otherwise you’ll end up clogging the steam cleaner. I pretreated the heavy traffic areas with my Bissell 0801 Oxy Gen2 Booster which I applied liberally to the carpet and waited 10 minutes before steam cleaning. For stubborn areas, I pre-treat, steam clean, let dry, pre-treat again, steam clean, let dry, then rinse. For normal cleaning, I pre-treat, steam clean, let dry, then rinse. I’m happy with the results. The heavy traffic areas are now the same color as the rest of my carpet. This time I around I used Hoover 40321128 Deep Clean

Like another reviewer, I had a 500GB SATA II drive that was not being used, and after a lot of searching found this enclosure (it’s easy to find enclosures for IDE drives, but not SATA).

The enclosure arrived, and in about 10 minutes, it was installed and running.

This model uses USB 2, but there is also one for Firewire + USB 2. I can’t comment on the speed yet, but for a USB connected external storage, I don’t much care if it runs at lightning speed. It will be mostly used for backup.

The enclosure is kind of cheap looking, and is a little large, but it is made of aluminum, and has a small fan, so it will help dissapate heat, and probably prolong the life of the drive.

I had originally ordered an enclosre from Adaptec, but it was disontinued, so I went with this one. The advantage of the Adaptec enclosure was that in addition to USB 2, it had an eSATA connection, which, with an eSATA adapter card would have boosted the speed considerably.

If you have a spare drive sitting around, and no spare room in your PC, this is a great way to put it to use for about $50.

Comes with AC adapter, USB cable, mounting screws, and drivers (if you’re not using Windows XP). All you need is the drive.

I might have given it 5 stars if the enclosure wasn’t so cheesy looking.

there is obvious confusion abounding in the world today. If people would simply read their Bible, asking God for His illumination on their reading, they would know who He is. this book is not the voice of God, but of a confused individual. don’t buy it.
