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models are Valued at a higher rate then the newer Versions and models ….this is very strange to sell things that are out of date at a higher price then the Newest product….The only reason there at a higher rate is because of the way u can exploit them ….The item i got was very nice and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 bought this vacuum (Hoover Tempo Widepath Upright) based on consumer reports that it worked good for wood floors and report that it is absolutely fantastic on carpet, but is severely lacking in the bare floor category. It picks up dust and hair easily, but anything with any mass to it (ie…toast crumbs and sand) gets shot out the back and onto your feet and legs. It is not a pleasant experience. The good news is I don’t need a pedicure this week as my legs have been thoroughly exfoliated! Also, when I flipped it over to check the underside, i noticed that there was sand and dust stuck to the wheels and the entire underside almost as if it’s carrying a static charge. It was very challenging to get it clean as there are so many cracks and crevices My advice: if you’ve got bare floors buy something else!!
Put the Needle on
Let’s start with the fact that this book is an American Classic. It deals with the coming of age of Holden Caulfied, a completely incoragable young man who is not always likeable. That’s the thing that sucks you in. This kid swears, smokes, lies, gets kicked out of school, etc. etc. Not exactly the kind of book I want my teenager reading, but in the end, the story all comes together.
***Possible Spoilers***
Holden is quite intuitive and really sees the underbelly of human nature and the false bravado with which adults live their lives. He, of course, is full of false bravado himself (the scene with the hooker shows that). He calls them like he sees them, even at the expense of others.
Is Holden a hero to teens or a rebel without a cause? The answer lies in your own interpretation of this story. Give it a try.
Are You Gonna Eat
I have found myself, a 38-year-old mother, prefering to read adolescent books over grown ups’ books. I have enjoyed the Harry Potter series and now, from others’ recommendation, the Artemis Fowl series. Eoin Colfer is a detailed writer who has created books that you find yourself wanting to read more of. Not perfect, but very entertaining.

Reading the reviews on amazon.com helped me select this scale. I was looking for a scale that was ACCURATE. It didn’t need all the bells and whistles the other scales offer. Just an accurate/consistent number. I have found a scale that I will be keeping. I like the fact that I can just jump on the scale without having to toe-tap the darn thing. I also like that it has the very cool blue light and big numbers/font. I would highly recommend this scale!!!
Please Don t Eat
I’m not really a kid but I’m writing this review through a family members account & I don’t want their name on here.
I’ve got 5 brothers, they all say they had to read this book for school (4 had to read it in junior high, one read it in high school).
I didn’t have to read it for school but happened to come across it on a vacation & ended up reading it on the plane ride home.
This book is very good & entertaining, however, while reading it I could not think of why a school would feel that it is appropriate for kids to be reading for a report.
I would never let my kids read this book while living under my roof (yea yea, I know, you can’t stop your kids from doing stuff but in an ideal world where this was possible, I would never let them read it).
For an adult that wants to somewhat relive their childhood, give it a try.
While the character is very hateful & kind of an ass, some stuff he goes through is stuff most people go through so it may bring back a memory or two.
I liked this book for the plane ride but don’t think I’d ever want to read it again. The character was too much of an ass & I’d rather not ’see’ him again.
Rethinking Columbus teaching about
I’m not sure I have anything new to add. However, you rarely come across something that fits a need so well. In a nutshell, after trying several different mounting methods I’ve come back to the old-fashioned, almost Fred Flinstone-ish, bean bag approach.
Perfect except for the following:
–If you have a VERY fast car and enjoy showing off, the mount will come flying off with tire-squealing jackrabbit starts. This is one way you’ll know for sure you’re driving a car too fast for your own good.
–Takes up quite a bit of dashboard space
Except for these two minor annoyances, this mount is the perfect solution. I’ve tried and thrown away several other mounting solutions because they just did not work as promised (adhesive, vent, cigarette lighter, etc).
Plastic Pie Server
I received the FURminator Medium Yellow Deshedding Tool that I ordered thru Amazon.com within a week and was very pleased with the quality. I tried it out on my cat that is not the most patient of animals. I was expecting to have a fight on my hands, but to my surprise he let me comb him for a while. I combed out a lot of loose old hair that would have gotten in the house and on the furniture.
I definitely would recommend this product to other people that want to keep the shedding of their cats or dogs to a minimum.

This vacuum works very well for the price. It could use a longer power cord but otherwise it’s great.
