With so many reviews at an average rating of 4+ stars, I was expecting slightly better than this vacuum. I was replacing an aging vacuum that really had no issues other than being something that belongs in a museum. First off, the vacuum feels cheap. When you snap the front cover into place, there is no strong, definitive ‘click.’ It just barely pops on. The bag that came in the vacuum seems not to fit correctly (too long.) In use, the vacuum takes two swipes, when my old vacuum only needed one. It’s top heavy which makes it difficult to maneuver. My biggest gripe is the hose. Absolutely useless. It’s way too short and stiff. You won’t be able to get the back half of your couch cushions, no exaggeration at all. Add to that, the fact that it is top heavy and it’s nearly impossible to use. I bought a Hoover brand extra long extension hose, and it’s not much better, due to the top heavy-ness of the vacuum. But the hose was about $25. All in all, if I’d bought locally and kept the box, this would have been returned. The cord is also too short. It’s also the LOUDEST vacuum I’ve ever encountered. The only plus is that it does have a wider path and rolls fairly easily forward. All in all, it’s an ‘acceptable’ vacuum, however, I’d really strongly recommend you keep looking. I guess at this price point, it’s kind of hard to gripe, however, I wanted to share some of my frustrations.

The Garmin Forerunners initially were a big scare for me
All the buttons, functions and applying heart rate got me fidgetin’

I used to heavily use the Nike+ Sportband with sensor pouches
It was straight forward – single button use and will last for long duration uses
Once th Sportband started showing signs of times drawing near – I decided to go for the Garmin Forerunners
I saw little price difference when looking at the 305 the 205, so I went with the 305 for the HR reading

When the box came in – out comes the Garmin AND an HR Strap
So I tested just with the Forerunner alone – it worked great
Did it a second time with an elevated path – once again a great read
Then I gave the HR strap a try – Boy it was actually cool seeing the HR flux about silly to the run
A 1/2Marathon run with HR really was test to see if the strap becomes an irritant for longer runs
It feels little bit tight (not constricted / fixed) and it holds position well

The software is a bit clunky – but it gives great readoffs and a rough visual of the path taken
Has issue of not getting rid of some unwanted recordings

The Forerunners does give some pain to the wrist and according to spec would not operate past 8hrs in GPS mode
That could become detrimental in future if I start doing runs exceeding 8hr (I may have to buy another one to keep going!?!)

PROS:
Thorough information readoff (Ele, HR, Pace, Distance, Lap)
Weather / Sweat Resistant
Program-capable to acknowledge downtimes, walk times and Lapping
Relatively straight forward program for PC / Mac

CONS:
Pains associated to the Forerunners physical build
Short lifespan in GPS mode
No info on Linux / OSS Install?

have only used the vac a few times- it is light and easy to maneuver, but it could pick up more efficiently

We had another that we paid a lot for and we had lots of trouble with it. We’ve had this one for over 2 years and have not had a single problem. It’s such a good product that we are about to buy another to take with us one vacation for our game consoles.

I have used carpet cleaners for years, and this one is the best by far if you clean your carpet yourself. It is not perfect, but works really well.

Once again, gilding the lily, but this book should get 5 stars overall. So that is why I am rating it. I could not put this book down. The honest, no-nonsense style of writing is compelling and addicting. When I finished it, like my youth, I was melancholy that it was over.

It is a beautiful story about young love. I can relate to most of the feelings the girl had. I had them. It is like I would be reading about myself falling in love again with a guy in high school. The book grabbed me from the first page. It had a very interesting beginning. The girl acted simillar way to me but not all the way. The writer captured very nicely feelings that young girls experience when they fall in love. How they long to be around the guy that occupies their minds that they can not concetrate on other activities. I had them in more ways that I could ever describe. There were so many simillarities to me, that I felt like I have been reading my story through my eyes told to the writer. The language flows. There is great development of feelings. The book is about LOVE with added SUSPENSE towards the end.
Only there is one reason that I would not give the book five stars. It is that I like to read about love more mature a bit. The love is not childish but still too young for me to imagine myself in heroine’s shoes. I like heros older and not seventeen. I like more real issues adults are facing. But other than that the book is perfect.
Every young girl should read the book. The book is mesmorizing. It is hard to not fall in love with the characters. It is like having a dream…

I have now owned my Ipod Touch for over 3 months and I still love it as much today as the first day that I got it. It can hold a ton of music and video with the 8 GB memory and I reasonable number of applications. Currently I have about 650 songs, 10 music videos and over 100 applications and I still have about 1 GB of memory leftover. If you are considering buying an Ipod Touch with larger memory I would really consider whether or not you will ever need that much space because I think this model has plenty of memory for the average user. The music function of the Ipod Touch is very similar to my previous 3rd Generation Ipod Nano. The main difference is that it has an option to shake and change or shuffle the current song. One other option is Genius which will create playlists for you and suggest songs that might be to your liking.

The Ipod Touch is really a lot like a laptop that fits in the palm of your hand. You can browse the net and do most everything you can do on a laptop except you can’t view video’s that require flash player because it’s not compatible with the Ipod Touch.

You can also download applications directly from I-Tunes and there are thousands of applications to choose from with many being added every day. Most of the applications are no more than a dollar a piece. For that charge you can add them to multiple Ipod Touches if you have them setup on the same I-Tunes account. There are also many free applications that are a lot of fun. Often when a new application is released, they will offer it free for a limited time in order to get people to try and rate it. It pays to check the I-Tunes store everyday because you never know what you will find.

The Ipod Touch has a built-in and hidden speaker which is nice but don’t expect amazing sound from it. You may want to consider purchasing exterior speakers for better sound.
