I have used a pedometer on and off for years. When our office offered a fitness challenge, I knew I wanted to participate. The counting and tracking of steps was essential, so my search began for a reliable pedometer. I checked the local “mart” and sports stores, and did research online. I determined the Omron HJ-112 was the best choice. I carefully calibrated the essential information, and attached it to my pants. The first thing I noticed was that it did a good job of not mistakenly identifying random movement as steps which was a plus. I thought that I was getting an accurate reading until I realized it wasn’t actually counting all my steps. My daughter, who was also participating in the challenge, commented that I don’t have much hip movement when I walk and that’s why it wasn’t working properly. She was right! Her pedometer, which cost significantly less, did a far better job of accurately counting her steps.

Another issue I have with this pedometer is the size. It is bulky and less than discreet. A diabetic family member remarked that it resembles a blood glucose meter or insulin pump. I believe the unwieldy size contributes to the fact that it does not stay securely clipped to clothing. I have lost it repeatedly which is annoying, and contributes to the less than accurate step totals.

I would not recommend this pedometer, nor would I purchase it again.

This watch is really elegant. Considering the price and the quality, I cannot mention any drawback. It’s worth buying.

The card has proven to be unreliable & defective. It will no longer upload to my PC or any other device. It indicates “Memory Card Error”. The camera manual recommends reformatting which deletes the photos. The photos can still be viewed on the camera. The card is beyond the 30 day return for electronics but I am waiting Amazon’s reply to my request for a return with proration. Transcend may be a low quality knockoff but many have been sold and apparently used without problems.

I use this card in a Canon Vixia HF200 camcorder. 1080 videos shot at 30fps require class 6 speed, and this card delivers nicely. I did have to wait a while to get my card as these are a hot item. Maybe a week? Best of all, not in that stupid anti-shoplifting/display packaging.

These aren’t the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they’re dangerous. Artemis thinks he’s got them just where he wants them, but then they stop playing by the rules…

I truly loved this book, and found more meaning in it than any other I have ever read. It’s not about blowing you away with high minded concepts, it’s about clarifying what IS obviously true about existance. I’ve recommended it to several friends and some feel as I do, it was great and insightful, and others did not get anything from it. The ones who did not like it all have something in common, however. They are people who are not into thinking about thinking, philosophy and abstract concepts and have a truly open mind. They are good friends nonetheless, and I wish they could have seen more in the book that spoke to them. Like me, the friends who really ‘got the book’ are fairly excitied about what it illuminates and clarifies. To say this was an inspired work would be the understatement of the decade.

What can I tell you: GET IT, READ IT, draw your own conclusions. My conslusion: TRULY GREAT

One thing I should really point out: This is NOT a book about religion.

This digital scale looks neat and has a blue led display that turns on when you step on the scales and goes off automatically when the scale is not used. Perfect for your bathroom and keeping yourself in shape!

Mostly I like using Kindle though definitely it has a way for improvement and many flaws. But today for the first time I had to contact their customer support due to some minor sorting issue. The attitude and incompetency of the person addressing my problem was outstanding. He insisted that my device is not even supposed to sort books in any meaningful way, even though is shows such an option and definitely did that before. I wasted 30 minutes listening to such nonsense, until finally found the solution by googling it and fixing it myself. Kindle definitely needs better customer support that will have some idea about the device and its common bugs.
