I used to have an older hoover but the hoses went on it. This one is not nearly as heavy as the old hoover carpet cleaner. However, it does a very good job cleaning the carpets. Definitely better than the older hoover I had. I can see the difference right after I did the job.
Sunlite Ergo Ridge Mountain
What a beautiful book! Our book club read it as a second choice but it quickly became #1. I grew up in this era and never did understand some of the do’s and don’ts I was subjected to. The book answered many of these questions. I only wish my grandmother was still alive so I could ask her….”why?”. I would love to hear her answers as she was a most tolerant and understanding woman. This book is a definite keeper for anyone who has a need to know how the civil rights movement looked from a different perspective, how those most affected feared for their lives, their jobs, and their families if they dared to speak out. The courage and tenacity of Aibiline, Minny and Skeeter brought tears to my eyes many times. A must read!!
BICYCLE REFLECTOR mountain bike
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.
Sa Mountain Sport Magazine
I found out about this item from a distribution list I am signed up for that focuses on how to save money. It was recommended to spot treat ahead of time and then use only boiling water in the cleaner, no detergent. The theory of avoiding detergent is that soap is difficult to get out of the carpet and adds to future dirtiness/stickyness of the carpet. Theory of using boiling water is that first of all it is very hot which means it cleans the carpet better and secondly, it is easier to get the carpet dry.
We had just purchased a foreclosed home and didn’t really want to replace the carpet right away as we have multiple dogs and teenagers and would rather wait several years until we have less dogs and teenagers at home to replace it. But I did want clean carpet!
The carpet is an off-white and had definitely seen better days. We had the carpet cleaned professionally before we moved in and it looked better than before but was still dingy and I wasn’t satisfied. So I bought this cleaner and tried it again using the spot treatment & boiling water method and was blown away by all of the gunk and nastiness that came out of the carpet even AFTER “professional” cleaning…and the carpet looked ten times better than before once it dried.
I would definitely buy it all over again. Spent over $350 dollars on the “professional” cleaning job and less than half that for this unit and it can be reused over and over again to keep the carpet clean. I highly recommend it but again…no detergent and use boiling water. Just do multiple dry “strokes” over the carpet until it dries…no waiting around for it to dry…it is almost instant. We love it!
Olpran Tomahawk 22 Mountain
I received my Kindle 2 as a Christmas gift and I have been in love with it ever since! It’s small, light weight, has a big display, and crisp, clear images! I was amazed at how crisp and clear the pictures were, and how well I could read it even in the bright sunlight! I’ve paid no more than $9.99 per book..and some are even cheaper than that! The wireless capabilities allow you to download a book in about a minute..no matter where you are! No need to look for a wireless hotspot or plug it in to a computer! If you love to read, Kindle is the way to go! I can even read my Kindle books on my Blackberry when I don’t have my Kindle on me! It’s well worth the money!!
Rocky Mountain Slayer SXC
I have MS and carrying all my important information around in a planner was getting too cumbersome so I looked for a PDA. I guess they are a thing of the past but a friend recommended I look at a iPod and it is wonderful. I can carry my information in a compact lightweight package. I load games to help keep my brain function high. I have my music at my fingertips to help with relaxation. It truly is a great product.
I love the calendar, everything.
Learning Mountain Dulcimer
The Forerunner 305 has lived up to expectations, based on my first few weeks of experience. I use it for jogging/walking and it appears consistent and accurate based on about 10 outings of 6 mile length.
Positives: Light weight, easy to read, much flexibility on output displays, docks and synchronizes seemlessly with the Garmin Training Center software, works as advertised. I particularly like to display current pace as well as average pace.
Negatives (but none are serious): Takes 30 to 45 seconds to find satellites. I have a short attention span and tend to get impatient waiting for it to lock onto the satellites.
Tip: I occasionally record a false start by accident, then stop the run after say 5 or 10 seconds. Unfortunately, this “run” is recorded on the GPS. After uploading the data to the Garmin Training Center, I deleted the bogus run from the uploaded records. But every time I dock/sync, the short run was restored to the training record. The solution is to upload data, delete the unwanted record, clear the GPS memory, then send the remaining good records from the Training Center back to the GPS device. Said another way, I couldn’t find a way to delete a record directly from the GPS, but the workaround accomplishes the same thing.
Maxxis Monorail Mountain Bike
Worth The Money…. I bought this bike because GMC Topkick Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike had pretty good reviews…and honestly, at 200 lbs. I needed a bike just a little more heavy duty than what was available in a dept. store…When it got delivered, I was quite impressed with the overall build and features of the bike. With dual disc brakes (that work great), quick release hubs and seat post, heavy duty V-rims… shimano componants…it really is quite a nice bike for the price. I’ve seen many argue that you should go to a bike shop for a bike…well, I looked around, you can expect to pay between well over $1000. to around $7000. for a dual suspension bike. GET REAL…I only paid $5100. for a brand new Honda XR-650 (motorcycle)…I’ve ridden this bike many times now without any problems. Keep in mind, however, that most bikes will need to be “fine tuned” when put together (brake adjustment, derailleur adjustment)These are very simple to do…If you arent sure, go to YouTube…you can find how-to videos there. All in all, I would surely recommend this bike to a friend if you are looking for something just a little nicer than your average dept. store bike.
