I’ve owned this 4 GB Transcend Class 6 card for about 2 years. It has never given me any type of error, works flawlessly in every camera I’ve put it in, as long as I re-format it when changing cameras. It seems to process movies faster than my other Class 6 Fuji card. It’s been a great card, and it’s a good price also.
The Trolley Line
This is the best pedometer I have ever purchased, it’s accurate and well made. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed!
International Gymnast
Upon the notice of the authors death, realized I had never read it. Interesting book……..
Pistol Grip Tripod Head
I am a late-blooming fan of the Twilight series. I happened to catch the first movie on satellite about six months ago and became very interested in the storyline. Meyer definitely writes in a linear, story-telling fashion, which is perfect for the overall story. Her descriptions of teen love and angst, along with the whole vampire motif, made me truly feel what was going on for both Bella and Edward. And I’m not even close to being a teenager anymore. If you like vampire stories and just enjoy a good read that takes you out of your own life for a while, I would highly recommend this book. And that goes for any age group.
Jammin with the Doodlebops
I ordered this scale because my fifteen year old scale had really taken a beating and it was time for an upgrade. The shipping was extremely fast, and I was very, very happy with that. I opened the box, inserted the batteries, and attempted to operate the scale. Unfortunately the batteries had overheated and coroded during shipping, but that is not that fault of the seller, but of the heat during summer. It was an easy fix- I went to the store, purchased some new batteries, and it worked perfectly. The scale is nice looking, accurate, and easy to set up and use. I was very satisfied, and I would recommend this scale above any others.

I have found myself, a 38-year-old mother, prefering to read adolescent books over grown ups’ books. I have enjoyed the Harry Potter series and now, from others’ recommendation, the Artemis Fowl series. Eoin Colfer is a detailed writer who has created books that you find yourself wanting to read more of. Not perfect, but very entertaining.

I’m sorry, but this book made me want to throw up in my mouth. Absolutely awful!
It’s nothing but obsessive, psychotic, stalking garbage.
Do yourself a favor and move on to something more readable.

I’ve just read the first one and am off to devour the second. Despite the fact that he’s 12, Artemis Fowl is funny, smart, and encompasses all the human failings an adult story should. I especially enjoyed Butler, with his obsessive need to protect his charge and his wickedly effective and funny ways of doing it. Juliet, his sister, annoyed me but added to the overall effect of the Fowl household.
Holly Short, the fairy LEP officer kidnapped by Artemis, was far from the all-knowing fairy folk we’re used to, and in fact this story makes consistent fun of many of the old tales. Makes fun of and expands on their stories, actually, producing a new world to enjoy.
The supporting cast is generally well-rounded, if a bit stereotyped and I hope Mr. Colfer will expand on each of them. All in all, very enjoyable and I look forward to the rest of the series.
Eat Right To Stay
Two of these things hold groceries for a week for two people, and you don’t need grocery bags: just dump everything in here. There is a little strap on the bike side that clips under the mountain bike rack. You just clip that under the mountain bike rack, lift up using a handle also on the bike side (and not shown) and then lower two built in clips over the top of your bike rack.
To take it off, you pull up on the same handle, lift it off the rack, then lower it to allow the elastic strap to come off the bottom of the rack: about 2 seconds. The carrying strap you see in the photo can be used to carry the thing in the store, but it’s so lightweight, that it carries best when something is in it.
The only downsides are that there really is nothing you can clip a bungee cord onto that will keep stuff in, but nothing has ever fallen out of mine, so it’s sort of a non issue.
