This was the easiest carpet cleaning machine I have ever used. Light weight, large capacity for both clean and dirty water, as easy as vacuuming. Within 30 minutes I had 2 rooms clean and drying, I walked up the stairs with it in my hand and cleaned the 2 carpeted rooms upstairs within another 20 minutes. And only had to refill the water once. If you have ever considered getting your carpets cleaned, buy this unit.

I have a 2 year old black lab so I periodically have to get my carpets cleaned. This one unit, that I have used 3 times in the month I’ve had it, cost less than having a company come out and do the same job ONE time. And it didn’t take 2 hours of having stangers in my home. And I didn’t have to wait 24 hours for my carpets to dry. I rented a carpet cleaner from a local store, it was incredibly bulky and heavy. I could barely get it in my car, let alone carry it up stairs. I had to fill it 4 times just to do 3 rooms. And it took hours.

If you are like us and many new parents, you may have purchased an inside-the-house video baby monitor – such as the Summer. In this day in age, however, an even better solution is one that works both inside your house AND outside your house on your cell phone or at work!

This Sharx SCNC2607 is amazing and perfect for our baby cam. Great picture during the day and absolutely awesome images at night when there is no light in the baby’s room! This was exactly what I was looking for when looking at the more expensive solutions such as Axis, Sanyo, etc (which were going to cost me over $500!). I was concerned that the Sharx would be of lower quality but I’ve been very pleasantly surprised…

Here are some benefits we’ve found by having the Sharx SCNC2607:
1. When Daddy is at work, I can keep a small window of the baby’s room on my screen to see my little girl whenever I have a spare minute!

2. We have the camera setup as an icon on Mommy’s iPhone so she can easily click on the camera and view the baby’s crib. Whenever Mommy is away (and the Nanny, Grandparents, or Daddy is watching the baby) she can view into the room and see her little girl. Even inside the house we found that Mommy carries her iPhone around with her and its more convenient to have 1 consolidated device rather than also carrying around the Summer receiver.

3. We setup the Grandparents with an secure account to be able to look into the webcam and see their granddaughter anytime… We actually turned off the audio though to ensure we maintain some privacy in our conversations within the baby’s room …

4. Screen size using the Sharx and the iPhone is 2x the Summer screen and has a much larger viewing angle.

So how hard is this to setup? I’d rate it on the moderately technical side. If you have any experience setting up a wireless network at home then it should be a breeze but you need to configure some things in your router. You’ll take the camera out of the box, plug it directly int

I love playing this and it is good exercise. I golf better on it then in real life and also bowl better. I bought the Tiger Woods golf game because I wanted more courses to play on. I would recomend it for anybody that would like something fun to do inside when the weather outside is bad.

There are so many so-called singers out there, however there’s only one George Michael who can really sing. That makes him a star, a super star!!! Love George always

This series was one that was always on my recommended list and for ages I set it to the side and read on with other authors, content that I wasn’t missing much. After seeing it for sale for a few dollars in a bargain bin at the book store I picked it up thinking that even for a few dollars it can’t be that bad. I regret now that I didn’t pick this series up as soon as it came out! The wit and humor of this story and its fellow’s blew me away and becoming close to the characters is unavoidable. Mr. Colfer creates a world full of mystery, intrigue, danger, excitement, humor, love and companionship. I would have paid much, much more for this book had I known what I was missing. I highly advise anyone looking for a great read and a wonderful story to pick up this series and make time to read it cause you won’t be able to put it down.

This book is truly incredible and has changed my outlook on life and has affected how I live day to day. From some of the most fundamental concepts to some of life’s most common questions this book has given me an opportunity to understand my place in the universe.

what can you say about a book that delivers time after time. i get something very different from it now than when i was sixteen. it still matters, for a new set of reasons, and that’s what makes it great.

I just have to share this! I loved this pedometer and was using it every day and found that it did help me to increase my steps per day. Then I left it in the pocket of my jeans and washed it!! It fell out before I loaded the clothes in the dryer. Fortunately, I have an eyeglass screwdriver, which you WILL need to change the battery. I took out the battery, unscrewed the three other tiny screws, and took the whole thing apart. I put it on the top of a bookcase to dry, with the four tiny screws in the lid from a vitamin bottle. Then, because I didn’t really BELIEVE that it was savable, I left it there for more than a month. Then, about to toss it in the trash, I decided to put it back together, which was easy, since it is so well designed. I haven’t set all the functions yet, because I have forgotten how, but it is counting steps justs fine, with the same battery! I love this thing and plan to check my pockets before washing every time. . .

It’s so easy to tear anything Twilight-related apart at face value. But often, doing so gains one insults of “You’re just pompous!” or “pretentious!” or “heartless!” from fans of the series.
So I gave it a shot, as best I could. I saw the first film and read a dozen pages of excerpts online. All I found was, in said ‘tearing it apart’, I was probably being too tame.
The truth isn’t that it’s a heartfelt-albeit-predictable love story such as e.g. Titanic. Rather, it’s genuinely, just…bad. In all respects of story telling:
The story is indeed predictable (the typical formula of ‘girl falls for boy she shouldn’t; they resist, end up together; struggle, almost fall apart, but ultimately – after some gunfire and dramatics – end up happily ever after’). But further, the characters are flat and unrealistic. The dialogue is contrived and hokey, and has no driving voice within it. The description is unimaginative and littered with the sort of awkward adjectives one expects to find in an entry-level creative writing course. On and on, et cetera.

But I really do understand: I understand why, and it’s OK that 13-yearold girls (or boys…let’s not discriminate) can connect with the story and be entertained. I understand why teenagers can engage with the shallow ‘romance’ therein. And that’s fine – nobody’s saying everything anyone reads has to be dense and literary.
So that’s not what concerns me. What -does- concern me is 25-yearold high school (or god forbid, college) graduates genuinely being moved by these characters; 35-yearold soccer moms finding the gutless emotion of the story to be deep and involving. Because when people allow themselves to be so bogged down with such masturbatory ‘art’, they lose the ability to really appreciate work with true depth. And a society that vacantly drools over the status feed of failed Facebook relationships, the romance of Edward-the-Vamp + Bella-the-melodramatist, yet can’t conjure the ability to appreciate the love stor

The only thing the book has going for it is plot momentum, but even there, as other reviewers have noted, several plot developments strain credulity. The “dialect”, again as other reviewers have commented, is inconsistent and inaccurate. The characters are cardboard, each one animating a different stereotype. That said, the hapless white cracker and her husband are amusing. A better writer might have been able to develop the genuine issue at the heart of the book – the twisted and complicated relationships between white women and the black women who toil for them and their families.
