Warn 73580 Remote Control
This does an excellent job of cleaning. As others have said, the dirty water tank actually does fill a bit prior to the soap tank emptying. That said, the entire lid lifts off the dirty water tank so it can be completely rinsed out in all the nooks and crannies.
Attaching the hose is a bit of a kluge. The top of the dirty water tank has to be removed, a plastic section on the tank is rotated out of the way, the hose inserted, and the tank closed. This process has to be reversed (with the exception of the section that is rotated) to empty the reservoir. That said, it works, and it’s more convenient than having to use a separate machine for stairs and upholstery and the spinning brushes on the hand tool make a difference.
Nothing is marked on the machine except in the slightly raised, molded letters on the plastic tanks. At the right angle, if I’m close enough, and if the light is right, I can make out what is stated or indicated. “Hoover, a little coloring would have killed you?” That said, it isn’t that complicated.
The brushes, which spin like clocks rather than rolling pins, seem to be far more effective. I have actually noticed that when the cleaning water has gotten cold (left overnight), the carpet is still warm after I clean it, so apparently the application of heat directly to the floor works!
With serious spots, I was impressed with how well this machine worked in conjunction with Spot Shot Carpet Stain Remover.

After Salinger’s death, I wanted to reread The Catcher in the Rye, so ordered a used paperback. It is in new condition and I’m quite happy with it. Delivery was within the estimated time.
3x Digital Telephoto Professional
I bowed down and got this “class 6″ for my Canon Rebel T2i. But have had no problems even with “Class 4″ cards. Great value at the time of this writing. But as all thing memory related, pricing will most likely even get better in a few months. This is one of those items where it either works or dies instantly. If it works, and most do, it is perfect. Have already filled it several times and re-used without issues of any kind.

I was recommended the furminator by a friend for my pomeranian. I was tired of having so much fur on my clothes from holding him, that I was ready to just get him shaved. My friend told me about the furminator, I decided to go through amazon because it was cheaper than the pet store. My dog loved it! And it really works, the first time i got a huge ball of fur collected almost bigger than my dog, and over the next few days less and less, its not longer all over my clothing, floors and furniture!
Dog Bone Confetti
Absolutely the best pedometer on the market…I use it personally daily…never go anywhere without it and I recommend it for all my patients who I am healthcoaching. I have found that myself and my patients come more consisitently close or exceed my recommendations of 10000 steps a day when they use this.

I purchased this because of the offer to update to Office 2010 for free when Office 2010 became available. NOT SO. The Office 2007 purchased from Amazon was some kind of ‘Singapore’ English version with a product ID ineligible for the Office 2010 update!!!! Big surprise last night when I tried to upgrade to Office 2010 from the upgrade link at the top of this Amazon item page.
BE WARNED!!
Levington 6617XI 300W MTR
Lots of good things about the device. Much to like and admire. Price competitive with oodles of an awesome user experience. What is lacking is however serious enough.
The good:
… it’s an iPod Touch; an iPhone without the phone.
… The sound quality is very good.
… The screen resolution and sharpness and brightness are all very good.
… The storage capacity (32GB) is massive, for now. Literally, thousands of photos and thousands of songs, and tens of hours of video can fit on this device.
… The touch screen is responsive.
… The selection of apps is amazing.
… The price is very competitive: $257 for a 32-GB 3rd Gen iPod Touch. Add $450 if you want the (almost) same device but with a phone. Competition does do wonders for the consumer, evidently.
… The downsizing of photos when uploading is a very good feature, and saves you lots of space on the iPod. You really don’t need that 3000×2000 pixel photo on the iPod, do you?
… Badges on app icons alert you to updates available: Facebook, LinkedIn, Email, etc…
… The Safari browser does a very good job of handling most pages.
The not-so-good:
… wi-fi is spotty. It sometimes just refuses to connect to the home wi-fi network. Such issues are not common, but when they do occur, are irritating.
… It’s a pain to get to the settings to switch off the wi-fi, or to increase the brightness everytime.
… Single-tasking can be very hasslesome. If you need to run more than one app, forget it. Wait for iOS 4.
… Despite the wi-fi, browsing speed is noticeably slower than on regular computers.
… The touch typing experience is fun initially, and a novelty, but the fascination wears off pretty fast. You miss the traditional keyboard.
… The iTunes interface if absolutely rubbish. Unintuitive, poorly designed, and an exercise in hair-tearing frustration to use. I cannot use foldering to store my songs or videos. Images stored in the MP3 songs are not usable. Adding new songs from an existing folder on

Anything goes spirituality…….Just like every other spiritualist guru Oprah promotes: I’m alright, your alright, we’re all alright. I’m a god, your a god, we’re all are own gods,…collectively. yuk yuk
