I have several cards by various manufacturers, including Transcend. All of them perform well, none have ever failed and I have seen no difference between comparable cards. The Transcend usually sells for a little less than other brands. Why pay more for the same performance?

OK…. the parade has passed by this old 2G iPod Touch. Now people are on to 3G with all the new bells and whistles (multitasking, voice commands, etc.) I say, “Let them go.” This 2G is just fine by me.

This is the first touchpad device I’ve owned. I never felt I needed something like this since I already have a cell phone, a netbook computer, various iPods and a Kindle. But after having purchased this, I find I use it much more than I thought I would, especially on my commute, and the Kindle, netbook, and old iPod stay at home more often.

It has all the functions of my old iPods so the music experience is the same as always… very good.

What I especially like about this device is all the apps that I can download or that come with the device. Since purchasing this, I’ve moved my calendar and appointments over to the Calendar Goo app that syncs easily with my Google calendar. Easy and convenient. Also nice is the ‘Weather’ app. Quick check before heading out the door and I’m good to go. I could go on about the apps but most people know the score. The iPod touch allows one to personalize the device and get just what one needs.

I will also mention that the Kindle app is great. Since buying the iPod Touch 2G, my Kindle has been collecting dust. I never liked the low contrast of the 2G Kindle…felt I was reading on grayish looking paper. Also no backlighting meant no reading in low light situations. With the 2G Touch, I don’t have to carry a 2nd device to read books. The Touch is smaller, so easier, to use on crowded trains. Also, it is backlit so low-light reading situations are no problem. Finally, the contrast is good. The print is black and the pages white. I have no problem with eyestrain. The app works fine and I can download my Kindle books quickly and easily. The biggest drawback for the Kindle app on the Touch is that highlighting text is a really frustrating activity. If what you want to highlight is located too near the edges o
CLASSIC OLD WEST 2

Twilight never seemed the type of book I’d ever read- a mushy, sappy teeny-bopper story. There were some reviews that compared the protagonist of this book, Bella Swan, with Elizabeth Bennet of “Pride and Prejudice”. To all such reviewers I can only say, “HOW DARE YOU???!!!!”. Initially, it was this comparison that got my interest piqued and I decided to give the book a fair read, much against my gut feeling. The story follows the life of a young teenager, Bella as she moves into a small town in Washington. For a while its the same story you’ve seen and heard a million times before- new girl comes to small town from big city, all the local boys ogle, local girls get jealous, heroine is not interested in anyone except the lone beautiful brooding boy who seems to hate her. The story builds when this boy, Edward, saves her from getting hit by a truck and she notices his incredible strength and agility. Turns out he’s a vampire who has given up on human blood, and only consumes animals. He finds her scent intoxicating, and continuously fights the temptation to eat her up. From then on, the book focuses on the tortured relationship between the two. There is something about this book that constantly bothers you, and no- it is not even this ridiculous premise of “predator-prey” love. It is the writing that fails on all counts. It is such an immature, dumbed-down story telling that questions the reader’s intelligence. The characters are all so weak and creepy, none of them even the slightest bit endearing. Edward, for instance, follows Bella around everywhere observing her every move, and “listens” to the thoughts of every single person she speaks to, and watches her every single night as she sleeps, for months on end. Dude, that’s called “STALKING”. Stephanie Meyer passes off this behavior as “normal” teenage love and Bella revels in it. She is pathetic throughout the book and doesn’t seem to have slightest bit of intelligence or self-respect. She keeps telling Edward, “I

Bought Belkin F5C400-300W 2 Outlet Dc/Ac Inverter and it was the best buy. I have used it on road trips for my kids computers, hand held games, my Curling iron (no I wasn’t driving)but was great when I was running out of time and needed to do my hair on the way), a crock pot for potlucks (we wanted to keep the food hot on the way to the party), Cell Phone charging (my son does not have a car charger), etc. The thing as you can tell has come in handy for many things as you can see. It has been such a great item I am purchasing another for my Mom. There are some reviews that say it is noisy but I am not sure which one they are referring to. The one I have listed above is very quiet. It is hard to hear the slight hum of the fan which keeps it cool. I have had it on with no radio on and you can hardly hear it. It is a wonderful inexpensive product, a great gift for the person hard to buy for. I am quite certain they will love it.
