I got tired of my Taylor scale’s being so unreliable, so I tried this one. I’ve found it (so far) to be reliable, consistent and easy to use.

this is the best thing i have ever spent my money on. I love to read, the kindle makes it so easy to buy and down load books i don’t ever have to leave the house to find a great book to reed. the kindle makes reading easier you can change the print size to what you like. and the white back ground of the screen is great. Only thing i needed was a lite to clip on we have poor lighting in our living room. so don’t be afraid to buy a kindle today Marie

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.

Title says it all… and that’s what 60% of the book is about.
The vampire is handsome.
And just in case we didn’t mention it, the vampire is handsome.

Oh… let’s throw in some action at the end to kinda-sorta have a story…
Please don’t hate me, I read the book, I just didn’t like it so much.
In an ironic twist, the movie was better.

This book is soooo misleading. It is not the voice of God nor does it come from the word of God. If someone truly seeks advice and more understanding, he/she should get a Student Bible or an “Understanding the Bible” type of book from a Christian store. This book makes me want to vomit; knowing how many people are reading and believing the LIES that are COMPLETELY THROUGHOUT this book!

I like this card. Not too expensive for the capacity (I paid less than $22) and the transfer speed seems okay (packaging rates it at 16MB/s). I bought it to add some music to my Garmin Nuvi 750 GPS and it works great for that after a one-day test. Some cards claim much faster transfer rates, so I gave it 4 stars. It took me several minutes to load a bit over 1 Gig of MP3s using the card slot in my notebook. I don’t really have anything to compare that to, so you be the judge. The Garmin accepted everything without any format hassles–it just worked. The packaging was a joy, came in a little reusable plastic case suitable for storage when not in the device. Recommended.

Twilight centers on the developing romance between star-crossed flirters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Problem is, Bella and Edward have no chemistry. He’s a 100 year-old vampire. She’s a helpless, self-conscious klutz. They don’t do anything together except look at each other. They have nothing in common–except they’re both virgins–and so they talk about nothing.

Oh, sure, they talk about the weather, music, and their favorite color, but nothing important like what they believe in or their values. These conversations about nothing are fraught with artificial tension and abused facial expressions. There’s a glower, a simper, a chuckle, a smirk, a sigh, a blush after EVERY laborious exchange. It’s meant to be engrossing and edgy, but it’s distracting and silly. Edward the Emo shifts moods from cocky to lustful to angry to protective in the blink of an eye. Bella’s range of emotions exists between expressing embarassment for her clumsiness and awe of Edward’s smooth skin, his sculpted chest, his fiery eyes, etc.

The story is told from Bella’s perspective. She’s your typical upper-middle-class teenager: spoiled, snobbish, and uninteresting. After moving to Forks, Washington, she looks down on her high school classmates because they are nice and emotionally engaged. She acquires friends effortlessly and for no other reason than to have someone to sit with at lunch. Invitations extended to her to go shopping, to go to the beach, and to go to the high school dance she treats with ambivalence if not distaste.

She placates these little people by pretending to enjoy their company, but she is really just biding her time, waiting for love. When Edward enters her life, she drops all pretense.

Edward, as described through the eyes of Bella, is just as one-dimensional and unlikable. He’s brooding, intelligent, good-looking…basically a fantasy realized. Stephenie Meyer spares an editor to overwhelm us with descriptions of Edward with SAT words like “sinuous” and “transluce

While waiting for the shipment to arrive I was reading about “steam” cleaners only to learn that there is no steam. So my expectations were not good. But when I tried it out, it surprised me. Fairly straightforward using it, directions were clear AND the carpet is now clean. I took off one star only because it goes through the expensive cleaning solution rather quickly.

Greasemonkey (GM) is an extension (arguably one of the most useful) for the Firefox browser. GM is an agent that allows the dynamic alteration and manipulation of web pages via scripts which run after the page is loaded but before it is rendered to you. GM opens the Document Object Model (DOM) of other people’s web pages up to client-side access, which gives you the power to add, remove and change the content of that web page to suit your tastes and needs – almost exactly if you had written the web page yourself. GM, however, is only the hosting engine. All the real work is performed by implementing JavaScript files, that you or someone else has written.

Greasemonkey Hacks is a great read and a valuable “ideas” asset, but only if you fit into the niche it is written for. As GM is nothing more than an interface host for dynamic scripting, not a lot other than an overview of the extension, where to get it, and a how to use its few dialogs can be written about. Indeed, it already has been covered before and is freely available on the extension’s home page (Greasemonkey dot Mozdev dot Org). As GM makes the DOM available to custom JavaScripts, unless you only intend to look for and run other peoples scripts (which is quite doable as UserScripts dot Org makes hundreds of thousands of them readily available, some of which appear in this book), a working knowledge of the DOM and JavaScript is needed. The author does not spend much time covering what GM is, and very little time covering any JavaScripting or DOM objects; you are expected to already understand what you see. What this title does give you is hundreds of pages of ideas, accomplished by presenting recipe script after recipe script complete with discussions and explanations.

The book is well written, and entertaining to read. The information presented within ranges from novice to advanced (if you’re into scripting) and is never dumbed down or made overly complicated. If you’re really interested in w
