I truly loved this book, and found more meaning in it than any other I have ever read. It’s not about blowing you away with high minded concepts, it’s about clarifying what IS obviously true about existance. I’ve recommended it to several friends and some feel as I do, it was great and insightful, and others did not get anything from it. The ones who did not like it all have something in common, however. They are people who are not into thinking about thinking, philosophy and abstract concepts and have a truly open mind. They are good friends nonetheless, and I wish they could have seen more in the book that spoke to them. Like me, the friends who really ‘got the book’ are fairly excitied about what it illuminates and clarifies. To say this was an inspired work would be the understatement of the decade.

What can I tell you: GET IT, READ IT, draw your own conclusions. My conslusion: TRULY GREAT

One thing I should really point out: This is NOT a book about religion.

Is it even possible to have a conversation with God, in the same everyday sense that we can have a conversation with another person? Neale Donald Walsch doesn’t claim to have literally heard the voice of God, but he claims that God spoke to him nonetheless, and that he has simply transcribed God’s words.* I don’t think I’m the right person to take a position on Walsch’s claim but I will say that he offers a beautiful and compelling vision of reality and our creative power. His book inspires the excitement and the feeling of recognition that we experience when encountering a deep insight or truth. Readers might find passages in Conversations with God, attributed to God, that sound more like Walsch. But maybe those passages reflect Walsch’s limitations, or the reader’s limitations in understanding them.

In the book, we are told that God encompasses all things, including us. God created us – a part of Himself – so He could experience Himself. A thing can only be experienced in relation to what it is not, and we find both good and bad in the world. But we are urged not to condemn what we call bad in the world. Rather, when we encounter conditions that are inconsistent with what we are or what we want to be, we need to take responsibility for them and ultimately change them through our creative power.

The discussion of this – the creative power that we share with God – is the most compelling part of the book. We are told that the creative process begins with thought, becomes more concrete through speech, and more concrete still through action. When we recognize our power to create, we recognize that we are responsible for what exists. This is obviously true on one level: “things are what you make of them” is a commonplace. We have all seen people live up to our high expectations or be dragged down by low ones. We have all transformed a bad situation into a good one (or maybe a good one into a bad one) through our thoughts and actions. But the assertion m

When my doctor told me last fall that I was obese (and I knew I needed to lose weight, but obese??), I was shocked. I’m 6′ and at the time weighed in at about 245. That’s overweight, not obese. I was wrong, it is obese. But that was the best thing I could have been told. I had been saying for years I wanted to get my weight back down, and hearing the O word directed at me, made me decide to do it.

One of the first things I did was to get into a weight loss program, including going to group meetings. The first day we were given literature and the neatest little tool – a pedometer. Well, the pedometer was not a really good one, and I never really trusted it. But, the basic concept was working. I saw how little I was walking. I work in an office, so I don’t get around much, but I had no idea I was so sedentary.

I decided that, since walking is a really good way to burn calories, and it’s good cardiovascular exercise, that I wanted a better pedometer. And then, to speed up the decision, I somehow managed to lose the one I was given. And then I ordered my Omron HJ-112. I figured with all the excellent reviews, this had to be a great device.

I’ve had it now for a week, and I love it. I like that it keeps a week’s worth of data. It has been very accurate as to the number of steps. My first one, after walking 50 steps was off as much as 10%. If I tried to adjust the sensitivity, I couldn’t get it any closer than 10%. My HJ-112 counts 50 steps when I walk 50. The most steps I’ve confirmed with a count were 75, and it was dead on.

I read reviews that said when driving, it can add steps. Well, that may be. I did pick up 6 steps on my drive to work one day, but I hit a couple of pot holes that may have done the trick. I also ride a Harley Davidson, and riding it to work one day, no extra steps were counted. I avoided pot holes on that trip. The next time I drove, I took the ped off my belt, set it on my lap, and no extra steps. To be honest, I’m no

We were required to read this drek in high school. It made me sick then, and it makes me sick now, 45 years later, that so many morons could act like lemmings in calling this tripe a masterpiece. If it is a coming of age story, it is about humanity itself coming to an age of self-loathing and self-pity; constantly the victim. Never responsible for their own shortcomings in failure to appreciate the privelege of existance. As I said; a first class moping piece of crap. Teachers should be fired for even suggesting an adolescent child or teen read it.

This thing lives up the the hype. It is smaller than I expected and doesn’t budge under normal driving, even with the ridiculous amounts of potholes and uneven pavement in the Boston area.

As far as I know this mount is specific to the Nuvi series. It would be awesome of someone made adapters for it so you could use it with other products such as phones and DAPs. Suction mounts now seem extremely crude by comparison.

This is a wonderful device for an international travel. I went backpacking across Korea and found it invaluable. Not only could I read all my books while I was on the road I was able to keep up with my Gmail and use Wikitravel to find places to stay even though I did not have an internet connection. Wow. GREAT.

The iPod’s are great overall, except for the most important thing- the audio jack. Unfortunately my iPod’s and others I know have had problems with their audio jacks. Even after average light use the audio jack can start to fail, cutting out channels of the audio, and rending the sound useless.

After paying hundreds of dollars for these fancy technological gadgets, you expect the most important, and least complicated part, to be the most reliable.

Apple needs to get on the act with good audio jacks.
Life is like that

It’s an HDMI cable, what else can you want? It feels sturdy and does the job as good as any other HDMI cable. Picture and audio look and sound great as usual and the cable fits perfectly where I need it. Highly recommended.

Got the Wii to get Wii Fit for days when I can’t do my normal exercise routine. So far so good. Don’t know if I’ll ever play any other games, but enjoy using the Wii Fit.

My family is really enjoying the Wii. They play it just about everyday. I broke my leg just a couple days after I ordered it, so I haven’t played it as much as I’d like, but as soon as I can move around more, I definitely will.
