I don’t care what anyone says, the Wii is fabulous. This one was bought for my 75 year old mother. The whole extended family, from 2 year olds to 80 year olds enjoy playing Wii games. None of us are true gamers and I think many of the elitist reviews are some sort of video game snobbery. Pretty much everyone, but the 2 year old, is able to instantly play and enjoy all the Wii games. The fitness benefits are also tremendous. There are so many games available that give you a work out while you are having fun. I recommend the Wii to everyone. It is well worth the money.

My granddaughter and grandson both love this book! They actually fight over who is going to play with it! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. It is defintely infant and toddler friendly!

A book titled “Conversations with God” can be read from three basic perspectives: 1) the reader can accept this as the absolute word or holy bible of an objective God (i.e. God stands apart from us as an Almighty Creator who sits in judgment of His creation); 2) the reader reads it as a dialogue with a subjective God (God does not stand apart and sit in judgment of us); and 3) the reader treats it as an interesting work of creative fiction.

A careful reading of this book should preclude the first perspective. The philosophy contained in these pages maintains that God is subjective. In other words, we are part and parcel of God and therefore we can know God experientially. If God is an ocean, then we are each a drop from that ocean. Therefore a conversation with God is the same as a conversation with our own divine nature–our higher (or highest) inner self. I read the book from this perspective, which enabled me to respect the thoughts therein as being perhaps divinely inspired, while still taking it all with a grain of salt.

I found the book to be interesting, inspiring, and perhaps even enlightening. I have read quite a bit of spiritual philosophy, ranging from “new age” to traditional religions and many paths in between. While many of the traditional established religions contain a lot of negativity in the way of threats of horrific consequences for displeasing God, I found it refreshing that there is none of that here. Walsch’s God doesn’t care what you do, but created life with immutable laws such as karma (cause and effect). You are free to do as you please and God will not get angry at you or condemn you to hell. Walsch’s God maintains that we were all created to be Gods unto ourselves, and that whether we realize it or not, we are creating every aspect of our own reality both consciously and unconsciously every moment.

I often read an interesting spiritual, inspirational or self-help book with a highlighter nearby. I don’t think I’ve ever hig

When I first started to look for an HDMI cable at local electronic stores, the cheapest one I was able to find was $40. I was tempted to buy it right then thinking I wasn’t going to find anything cheaper, but when I went on my computer and searched for one on Amazon, the first cable to pop up was less than $3! I was skeptical to why they were so cheap, but the reviews were mostly great and I went ahead and ordered one. Even with free shipping, I received it in the mail earlier than expected. At first, I did have trouble getting it to work though. I was trying to hook my PS3 to my TV with the HDMI cable. I knew how to set the settings and everything, but I just couldn’t get the HDMI to display anything, but it did eventually work. All I can say is that this is how PS3 is made to be played! No more unreadable text, no more dark screens, and no more fuzzy picture, just a crisp and clear picture that has made all my games and movies much more enjoyable. I haven’t had any issues with the cable since, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I did seeing how it took me to get it working. If you’re skeptical like I was, take the chance and get this HDMI cable. Three bucks is worth the small gamble, heck I can’t go to a fast food place and spend less than $3 anymore! Buy this cable and you won’t regret it.

To put this in perspective I am 81. When I was first introduced to this game my thought was, this is for children. When I started playing the tennis game I found I was getting an enjoyable aerobic workout. I have since purchased my own Wii sports package game and have truly enjoyed the game and the health benefits derived from it. I would highly recommend this for all ages. The only reason I rated the game over all at 4 stars is that I wish they had made the game so it could be played one on one as well as they have it now with two people on each side.

Bought this to go into my Canon T2i. Has no problem keeping up when recording 1080p, and allows the camera to take at least 10-15 rapid fire photos before it has to catch up.

Everything I’d hoped for when searching for a new memory card.

Highly recommended!

This scale is completely terrible. Weight readings are not consistent at all…I will weigh myself with clothes on, and then without clothes and gain 6 lbs. Makes no sense. Can get on and off of scale and weight will change by pounds in just seconds. Also, in the past few days the starting weight has become 4.6 lbs instead of 0.0 lbs. This scale is a terrible waste of money, spend a little extra to get a scale that actually works!
A Heart Afire Stories

My wife and I are about ready to have a baby, so we thought it would be a good idea to make sure our carpets are very clean. We considered renting a machine for a day or weekend, but then realized what a hassle it would be to try and do the whole house at once! So, we decided to get this machine. We just used it this weekend on the baby’s room, and it is fantastic! It was easy to set up and get going, but most importantly it got our carpets very clean.

Of course, it did not make the carpet look like new, but no cleaner will. We vacuumed our carpet very well, several times with a very good vacuum cleaner before using this. After using this, the water was very very dark brown. It’s amazing what this thing gets up, and I didn’t even think our carpet was very dirty.

Not only did this machine get the carpets clean, it left them NEARLY dry. We ran a dehumidifier in the room, and a fan to keep the air moving. After an hour or so, the carpet was completely dry. We waited until the next day before putting furniture on it (just to be sure).

Perhaps most importantly, this machine was EASY to use, and even easier to clean up. Basically I just rinsed out the tanks real well like it said and let everything dry well.

Bottom line, if you’re thinking about getting a carpet cleaner, this one is a great one. It’s very powerful, but not bulky at all. It’s easy to use and clean. The power brushes do a great job “agitating” the carpet fibers and loosening up dirt. I think this is a great buy for the money. I can’t imagine a unit that’s say…$100 more….doing much better. If you’re thinking of getting one, get this one…you won’t be disappointed.

These nerf darts are very good, they are high quality, and they are cheap. I was looking for a while, and this is the cheapest set of nerf darts I could find, not to mention that this pack has more than most. When they arrived I was very happy with them, and I have had them for a month now and not a single one has broken. I would buy this if you were looking for nerf darts.
