I bought this vacuum because it was top rated. I even bought extra belts based on other reviews about it eating belts because I figured a couple of extra belts was worth the savings, especially when the average vacuum costs $200, and this one was $80 including shipping. What I did not expect was to have to replace a bearing in the roller, which quit rolling after only two months. This vacuum works better than any vacuum I’ve ever used – and I’ve used plenty, even Kirbys – when it works. If you buy this vacuum, be sure to find out what’s required to get warranty service.

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

This is a great vacuum at a very low cost. It is a no-frills product but, who cares it’s a vacuum. It is easy to assemble, very sturdy and not too heavy to lift. It has great suction. I have a long haired cat and it picks up after him with no trouble. The vacuum has tools on board and they work well but are slightly undersized and the hose is a little short but again they work well. One potential draw back is the bags fill really quickly, so be prepared with refills. I bought a nine pack of bags with my purchase of the vacuum. The Hoover Temp works as well as any of my past vacuums which were considerably more expensive. If you are not into bells and whistles and just want a basic reliable product this totally fits the bill.

These are great bottles – they are a little heavy and hard to get used to at first but I love how classic and environmentally friendly they are! My only complaint is that I wish they had a vent system to help with colic – maybe someday…

More of the best film comedy ever made by the best team from the best comedy movie company, Hal Roach. Indeed, this Volume contains their Academy Award Winner, The Music Box.

By 1932-34, they had successfuly transitioned from the faster-paced, more physical silents to sophisticated sound comedies, all worth owning.

Twice Two is really brilliant as the boys play the wives, retaining much of the male characterization. The editing is particularly brilliant here; also the voice overdubs, done by female actors. Funny that Stan’s “sister” has the same ability to make a simple situation impossibly complex – she says crazy things at the Anniversary dinner while her “brother” totally messes up his task of buying strawberry ice-cream for dessert.

The Live Ghost has alot of Roach trouper-nemesis Waltrer Long, playing a Ship Captain who can’t keep a crew because it’s believed his vessel is haunted. For a while, he and Syan and Ollie are chums, as they are enlisted to trick seaman, from the local pub, into joining the ranks for a 10 port mission. A bit more rough stuff than usual, as Ollie brands a skillet to knock out men chasing Stan through the front door.

County Hospital is perhaps not at the level of The Music Box, as a story, but every scene is xcellent leading up to the finale, a rather crude car-out-of-control sequence, as the back-drop footage is too far out of proportion. Billy Gilbert plays the Doctor who enters whispering and exits screaming at Laurel and Hardy – visitor Stan has struck again.

Fascinating and riveting novel, chockerblock full of vivid historical detail about life in a second rate traveling circus during the depression in the United States. It was a real glimpse of Americana because of the author’s meticulous research. All the elements of a great read: love, desire, action, humor, murder, and a totally surprising and superb ending. The true heroine is a wonderful elephant named Rosie.

This is the third Omron pedometer I have owned. The pedometer is small enough to slip in your pocket and clips easily to a waistband in its holder. The added feature of a safety clip has saved my pedometer from inadvertently hitting the ground. The Omron HJ-112 is accurate when programmed correctly. If you take the time to measure your steps as directed in the instructions, it rarely is off by one step. There is a caution about keeping the pedometer away from water and it means it! I used to place mine by my sink and accidently got it damp. It stopped functioning. I have also discovered that if you slip it inside a sports bra it will keep an accurate count of steps but the trade off is perspiration causing it to shut down. Avoid mositure at all cost! I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good pedometer that is dependable.

As if anyone would read this one review out of the hundreds that have already been written about this product but I thought I would give my two cents worth. I’m a average runner fixing to turn 30 and I want to get into marathon running. I have trained and ran in a couple of 1/2 marathons and on the second I used this watch to help me train. It’s all about controlling my pace that I had trouble with before the watch. I would always start a race to fast and wouldn’t have anything left to finish. I’m going to hit a marathon this year and I can’t wait to start training with this watch helping me.

This is not the product you think it is. The picture and schematic for this item are both WRONG. Hoover has changed the product but left the model number the same. The new revised unit is not the same old beloved vacuum to which all the reviews prior to 2010 are referring. This version is a cheap imitation of the former. This “revised” model features:

- NO Headlight
- NO Bag Indicator
- NO hose coupling dust cover
- CHEAPER plastic
- CHEAPER carpet brush
- CHEAPER hose
- SHODDIER construction
- INCORRECT user manual

It still has the same amount of suction but because of the cheaper brush it doesn’t really get down into the carpet like the old one. It just glides on top over the carpet. The cheaper hose is a real problem, because if you ever suffer the misfortune of kinking the hose once you will never get it un-kinked again. The lack of headlight is not a big deal, but the picture shows it has one and some people may need this feature. The missing bag indicator means you have to keep stopping and checking the bag to see if it’s full. The plastic parts are made from a cheaper flimsy plastic. This makes the unit lightweight but it also means not everything fits together properly, for instance several of the attachments are misshapen. The old unit used to have a dust cover so when you used the hose it would not spew dust into the room (because the brush keeps turning). The “revised” model has no dust cover so you better get ready for a face full of dirt if you pull the hose out over a dusty area. The general construction of the unit is sub-par compared to the old version. In fact, the user manual is still from the old version, meaning the assembly instructions are incorrect for the revised version. You will have to figure out for yourself where to route the power cord on the rear of the chassis.

The vacuum does still work, has strong suction, and works well on carpet if you put it on the lowest height and really dig into the carpet. But you can probably find somethi
