I’m extremely happy with this purchase. It’s portable and very easy to use on your dashboard. Way better than that stick-on thing for your windshield. The product is new and exactly as described on Amazon. I highly recommend this product by this seller, the delivery was fast and definitely worth the shipping cost. Again, it’s a great buy.

I was a little sceptical of this when we first got it as a gift. It looked to bulky to actually be practical, so we didn’t actually use it for a few months. But now after using it for almost a year, my wife and I are very satisfied with the product. We use it in two cars (Honda and Subaru) and and it has worked perfectly every time. No slipping, easy to use, and not as obtrusive as it appears. When not in use, we just stash the beanbag part under the seat or in a door pocket and put the GPS and plastic hardware in the glovebox. Thus, the tell-tale wrings from the windshield mount are gone, and potential thieves are none the wiser.
Austin Air Healthmate Plus

A historical fiction piece set during the Great Depression about a young man who jumps on a train to find out he’s just joined a circus. It has everything- a great plot, action, romance, and is based on real facts. My friends and I finished this book within a few days. Couldn’t keep it down.

You can easily use Ubuntu (or variants thereof) without resorting to the command line, but your utility will be much enhanced if you are willing to learn. Even a few simple commands will be helpful to you. It seems counterintuitive to step back from the graphical user interface (GUI), but entering commands in the shell allows me to get more value and efficiency from any Linux distro. I found the book well-organized and easy to understand with realistic examples for every command in the book. With this book I have been able to fix my own problems. Though written for Ubuntu you will be able to use most of the knowledge on other Linux systems, at least Debian-based ones. This is probably the only reference book you will need, but one additional helpful book for just a quick reference without the exposition this book offers is the Linux Pocket Guide by O’Reilly Media Linux Pocket Guide.

This is my first time using ear buds. I can’t believe how perfect they are for my situation. I use them on the YMCA treadmill which has its own tv monitor. The ear buds collapse small to fit in the little leather carrying case and go in my workout shorts’ pocket. The sound is so good that I keep on keeping on with the treadmill whereas otherwise I would quit out of tiredness. So I rate the earbuds as tops – for compact storage and absolutely perfect voice quality.

OK – so I’m not an intellect….but I found this book to be absolutely wonderful. I listened to it on CD as I travelled to and from work. It was well written and absolutely held my interest from beginning to end. If you want John Steinbeck, then read John Steinbeck (as suggested from readers who don’t share my enthusiasm). In the meantime, enjoy this wonderful story and cry and laugh, as I did.
The Law of Democracy

I only used it a couple of items, but I am really satisfied as I can accurately keep track of the distance, current speed / pace and heart rate if desired. I recommend it.
Hamilton Beach Hand Blender

I have 2 copies, one for the house and one for the car. I have read this book over and over. I’m just kinda crazy about it. I found out that Kennedy’s and John Lennon’s assassins and the guy who shot Reagan all had copies of this book. Kinda creepy but still a good, fun read.
Gay Marriage LP Version

The most accurate pedometer I’ve found and love the fact that it stores 7 days worth of info in case you’re recording and forget to write it down one day. I thought it would be too big when I got it, but have been wearing it for nearly a month now and don’t even notice it’s there. Doesn’t make a clicking sounds like many pedometers. I’ve recommended to friends and would definitely buy again!

Foxes on Idol did advertise the videos being on the dvd – “the dvd is worth buying for the videos alone”.
