All I need now is HD service, thought the cord would take care of that but it didn’t.

I am a late-blooming fan of the Twilight series. I happened to catch the first movie on satellite about six months ago and became very interested in the storyline. Meyer definitely writes in a linear, story-telling fashion, which is perfect for the overall story. Her descriptions of teen love and angst, along with the whole vampire motif, made me truly feel what was going on for both Bella and Edward. And I’m not even close to being a teenager anymore. If you like vampire stories and just enjoy a good read that takes you out of your own life for a while, I would highly recommend this book. And that goes for any age group.

From the other reviews, i was expecting to have my socks knocked off as I had in “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls and “Replay” by Ken Grimwood, but instead I found that I was pleasantly entertained. No more. No less. The most impressive parts of this book were Sara’s portrayal of the elderly. I imagine that life for the elderly is pretty much as she portrays it, which I found enlightening and interesting. These parts ended up being my favorite! The rest of the book is colorful, imaginative, and worthwhile.

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. . .

I got a Z2000 six weeks ago and have already filled 10GB of memory with the highest res shots and HD video. I used it on a 3-wk vacation in the Tetons, Yellowstone, and Cody, WY. It was always around my neck as I drove, hiked, and biked, and it proved as tough as it’s predecessor (I’ve used a Casio S600 for over five years, mostly on mountain biking trips in the Alps, taking thousands of shots and videos with it, and, though it looks like it’s been in a war, it still works like new!).
This camera is almost as small and light as the S600, and just as easy to use even though it has a good number of new features. The wide angle lens (26mm), the 5x optical zoom, and the HD video were the main reasons I bought it. The fotos and videos are great, but you use up memory in a hurry at 14mp and with HD video, so you’ll need 4gb or 8gb SD cards (at least two), preferably class 4 or 6 SDHC type for speed. Unless you need poster sized prints, you can set the resolution to 6mb or so, which is fine for 8×10 prints, and you’ll get way more shots per SD card.
One new feature I really loved is the “oil painting” setting. This lets you take a shot looking (a bit) like Van Gogh may have painted it. The watercolor and crayon settings are worthless, though. I hope Casio fixes these and provides a download for them soon.
I went back and forth between the Z2000 and the new Casio H15, and chose the Z2000 for the smaller size and lighter weight since it hangs around my neck. My companion on the trip had just bought the H15, and it was a surprise to both of us. It has a wider lens (24mm), a 10x optical zoom, and even more features. It also has the “oil painting” mode. We were both amazed at the quality of his photos. On top of that, the H15 LCD screen is TWICE the resolution of the Z2000’s (both are 3″ in size), and it’s SUPERB. And his flash had an incredible range. And his battery lasts twice as long (though the Z2000 is no slouch).
So now I wish I’d bought the H15. It is

I personally like Nintendo over its competition. Because of the franchises, and the fact that the failure rate for theirs systems are basically non existant.
I still have my NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube in working condition. I know friend who are on their 2nd or 3rd PS3, and a friend in particular who has had 5 XBOX 360s.
I love nintendo franchises, especially Zelda, Mario and Metroid. But almost every Nintendo franchise it great and fun.
The wii is great, and I love it. I wouldn’t trade it for the other systems combined.

I notices that the older models are Valued at a higher rate then the newer Versions and models ….this is very strange to sell things that are out of date at a higher price then the Newest product….The only reason there at a higher rate is because of the way u can exploit them ….The item i got was very nice and worked great …..for the price i think it is very strange

I really enjoyed this book but had to put it down a few times due to the graphic nature of some of the incidents. I would recommend it to a friend with a warning: “not for the faint of heart.” I guess it was so hard to read because I know most of it could have been true. The author did a great job in her research on the time period.
