The bracket works great. I also purchased a second bracket for another bike. I use it with the NUVI 200. Beware of the battery life of the Nuvi 200. It won’t last for 3 to 4 hour rides.

Sara Gruen delivers a readable tale that’s a tad too formulaic to be fully engaging. In the same way that the narrator of the story insists from personal experience that it is impossible to carry enough water to slake an elephant’s thirst, I’d insist that this container doesn’t hold enough water to satisfy a serious reader.
Also noted: the description of animals and animal behaviors is approximately cartoony, and takes away from the whole.
On the flip side, it is an easy read that won’t occupy more than an evening and Gruen does offer up some fascinating historical details about old-style railroad circuses, which altogether comes off as plausibly true.

I am astonished that Amazon persists in its insane price for the Kindle. I look forward to buying one, but NOT until Mr. Bezos comes to his senses on the price for this gadget. Since the iPad came out, I can only hope that (a) Amazon has sold -0- Kindles and (b) Bezos will drop the price when he has something else at an equal or higher price point that he thinks will dazzle us. By this shameless $259 attempt to gouge, which I hope is going nowhere, he is also showing contempt for his loyal customers. In recent years, I have spent an average of about $5K/yr. on Amazon – I have also bought Kindles for two family members. But the arrogance of Amazon is causing me to rethink our relationship with it. Its response to the iPad is troubling, to say the least.

This is the best mixing bottle that I have found to date. The seals on the lid and on the cap work very well, with no leakage, and the blender ball works really well at thoroughly mixing the protein powder and flax meal in my sports shakes. This works better than any of the other products that I have tried, and I’m throwing out my other bottles and buying more of these. Highly recommended.

Great watch – finds satellites quickly, logs data accurately. The initial setup takes a little time, but after that, it’s a snap. Graphs of data could be easier to manipulate – sometimes the axes are too big. Overall, a great value for the money.

I just took it out of the box to give it a try. Geez! It totally amazed me! Although looks like a toy, it slides like a piece of butter on ice and sucks well. I definitely prefer it over my previous expensive (>$200) Dirtdevil vacuum.
I’ll need more time to figure out its durability.

Duragadget Hard eva case
I originally bought this for myself, but quickly realized with how little room an 8gb would be for the amount of music I own. So, I gave this to my son, who will be getting nothing for Christmas, hahaha!! I will be getting my own but I am going to pay more and get the 32gb. I love the features on this, but I don’t like that the battery doesn’t last too terribly long. I didn’t like too that the external speaker isn’t so hot.. I also wish it had a camera on it to take photos with. I have a digital camera, but it would be great for my son who doesn’t have one. Other than those things I believe anyone who gets this for the web browsing capabilities, photo viewing, music listening, etc. will not be disappointed.

This product was what I hoped it would be when I installed it. Installation was easy, and I loaded it on a new computer with Windows 7 (64 bit), which I was a little concerned about since this program is 32 bit. So far it works great with no hiccups. If something should eventually come up I’ll post another review, but for now it works fine.
