What did I just say? Awesome! Okay, the heart rate function, if you’ve become used to a Polar watch (like I had) seems a little secondary in this. But it’s there, and it will do the things you want. Just don’t expect to stare at your HR on the watch while working out. But hey, Awesome!

My husband & I did a bit of research on carpet steam cleaners & chose this one as a mid price. We ordered it on a thursday around 5:00pm & with regular shipping it was here by Saturday am. I was able to put it together following the instructions very easily. I was able to use right away & followed other reviewers’ advice: VERY hot tap water, make sure the lid/top to the dirty water basin is snapped into place or it won’t suck up any liquid. We have had it for about a month & I have already used it 4 times. We have an issue with dogs going on the carpet. The cleaning solution that came with it smells good & seems to work well but we also bought a special pet odor one by Hoover at Target. I wish we had ordered some when we bought the cleaner because it is cheaper at Amazon. My carpet looks (and smells) a zillion times better but I still need more passes as it had been an extremely long time since it had been cleaned and we still have some catching up to do. The good thing is the carpet dries within a few hours. I am thrilled with this purchase. This is way better than renting one from a grocery store that people have put god-knows-what in it & 3 rentals would cost about as much as buying. Also you can spot clean carpets or even furniture. We have only used it on the carpet so far but it came with attachments for all kinds of stuff.

I have the model that you don’t have to “tap” to get it to turn on. I just stand on it and it gives me a reading, which is nice. It is very consistent in readings, I can get on 5 times and it will give me the same reading as long as I hold perfectly still. I like that the weight stays on the display for a moment so that I don’t have to look down at it the whole time.

The only thing that I do not like, and the reason that I’m only giving it 4 stars, is that the weight is off. I had gone to the doctor the day before I got this scale, and when I got on after having auto calibrate, it gave me a reading that was 4.2lbs higher than what I was at the doctor. To test this, I grabbed a 5lb bag of flour and weighed it. Sure enough, it gave me a reading of 9.2. I took the batteries out for a minute and then had it auto-calibrate again and it’s still reading higher. The one thing that I’ll give it, is that it’s consistently off that much, so at least all I have to to is take away 4.2lbs from the reading it gives me.

Heart rate is difficult to read while running but other features are easy to see. I have good luck locating satellites and mileage is accurate. Uploading is easy and fast. I am quite pleased with this device.

I got this for a great price. It was shipped quickly and lives up to it’s name.

All I have to say about the IPod Touch is that I wish I got the 32, instead of the 8. Dumb move on my part.

This book came to me in much better condition that it was stated. It did take the full 14 days to get to me but that is what it said it was going take. Guess I was getting spoiled by some of the others who sent the item so quickly. Would order from them again.
GT908AA Targus Defcon 1

I purchased this item from Amazon via Digital Pavilion Electronics, and paid for 2nd day delivery. It was ordered on the 20th of December, supposed to deliver on the 22nd. Instead, it shipped on the 22nd and will deliver on the 24th. We will probably already be traveling and miss the delivery. Whatever you do, don’t order from this vendor.

Great deal, great product. I do wish it still had Outlook. I didn’t use it for email, but I did use it for my address book and mail merge. I haven’t found a good alternative.
2003 ASHRAE HANDBOOK Heating

I grew up with a Jewish Orthodox Dad and Converted Catholic Mom. Tradition was big, Temple attendance required, G-d was never discussed. After yrs of medical/psycho-social education I fell into a not atypical theory that science was my only ‘G-d’.
An assemblage of events led to a 12-step program and face-to-face with an uncomfortable reality. Conquering addiction requires faith in something spiritually ‘larger than yourself’ and a battle began.
I read this among many books of faith etc. It was the mind-twisting non-traditional concepts in the early chapters of this book which gave me a brand new way of looking at, and eventually a reconciliation with my own concept of, spirituality.
While more anecdote than critical review, I hope whom ever reads this will recognize in my story the idea that you can come from any background or set of circumstances, be ‘faith-less’, and find what you are looking for in this book. It helps if you are seeking an answer and open to the non-traditional.
