I’ve used this scale for three weeks now. For comparison, I kept using a Weight Watcher scale, too (which I wanted to replace because it seemed erratic). For esthetics and price, I like the EatSmart. For functionality, it was not what I expected. For one thing, the accompanying directions say the Step-On (no tap) won’t work if you’ve moved it or changed batteries. If so, you have to reset it, jumping on and off and on again. That was a disappointment, because I wanted to keep it in a closet and just haul it out to weigh. I don’t think the ad spelled out that detail. Somehow, though, even if I move it, it doesn’t demand a reset after all. However, for another thing, the weight never changed, even though I’m sure a different time of day or fluid intake should budge it at least 0.2 pounds. But it stubbornly returned the same figure day after day — until, that is, I reinserted a battery in order to make it reset. Then it reported a notably different weight, one about the same as the Weight Watcher’s for that day. This is a sequence I’ve repeated several times now. So, bottom line: I’m not sure I can trust it. The Weight Watcher was much too ready to show big and implausible variations. The EatSmart is much too reluctant to show any variation at all.

The portable friction mount is so much easier to use than the suction mount. It does not slide off the dash and can be stowed easily with the GPS. So glad I bought this and would recommend everyone buy one.

Catcher in the Rye is quite simply an American classic. Its approach is unintentionally timeless, as Holden, and those he encounters, are as believable as characters come. I’m amazed that even in this digital age, college students can so easily relate to Holden’s situation and the angst he feels towards the world. Everyone goes through it, and that is why so many people (of all ages) love this book.
American Standard T203 700
This fine film never found an audience. At all. Box Office Mojo reveals it to be an inarguable financial flop: a gross of $154k domestically, $187k worldwide. Ouch. You can help right that injustice by catching it on DVD – it’s worth your time, most notably for Michael Sheen’s brilliant performance as Art Honeyman, wracked physically by Cerebral Palsy, but brilliant and caustic in mind and spirit. Sheen is almost completely unrecognizable from his better seen appearances in The Queen (as a spot-on Tony Blair) and Frost/Nixon (as David Frost). Put Sheen’s work in a better-seen film and it’s surefire Oscar bait. Seeing the real Art Honeyman in the DVD extras only reinforces Sheen’s performance. He is Honeyman. It’s remarkable.
As for the real-life Richard Pimentel, well, let’s just say that getting Ron Livingston to play you is a good deal. Livingston is among the most likable actors working today. He’ll always be Peter Gibbons to some of us (Office Space – Special Edition with Flair (Widescreen Edition)), and Jack Berger (Sex and the City) to others, but the core of Livingston’s charm is his everyman likability. Here, it’s what makes you root for Pimentel, a guy who played a pivotal role in helping shape the American with Disabilities Act.

I have a broad, straight foot with low toned arches. I am a balmy over-pronator. I apply these shoes for insouciant wear and doing work around the yard. The Addiction is true to size and breadth. The straight last fit me well. The arch support was good for my flat feet. The pronation control is a little strong for me. The shoes are well built which is something you can not take for granted now that everything is made in China . I don’t have a good deal of options for my feet and these Addictions are the best of many I’ve tried late . I purchased a second pair in the leather to get into at work.
Seriously? Am I the only one who actually hates these books with a flaming passion?
They’re not even that good. This is what these books are teaching young girls out there:
1. It’s okay to either have a stalker for a boyfriend or be a stalker.
2. Teen pregnancy
3. It’s okay to have an abusive boyfriend.
Vampires do not sparkle. End of story.
Look I’ve tried to give these books a chance. But I couldn’t even get past the first five pages without hating it. I’ve grown up with better pieces of literature such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Secret Garden, which is more proper to read than Toilight.

Gets 1080p when connecting my PS3 to my new 55″ LG LED TV. Going to get 2 more sets to connect my new LG Blu-Ray home theater system and my new Comcast HD box (They only provide composite cables for free). For $2.39 each, what’s the big risk?

I’m impressed with these counters. I’ve had others that aren’t as accurate and the clips weren’t as good. I especially like that it automatically resets the step counter at midnight. Left one in a hotel room, so I had to buy another just like it.

This is truly a polarizing book. When you read it, you will either love it, or hate it. I have yet to meet anyone on middle grounds with it. A friend and I actually avoid talking about it because we disagree so much about it.
I enjoyed the book for the first chapter or so before repetition of the line “[x] depressed me” began to annoy me to no end. I simply could not like Holden, and this is not a book where you can dislike the main character but still enjoy the story.
Having read it for an assignment and then having to write an essay, I do appreciate the meaning behind the book. I appreciate and understand how we hate the characteristics in others that most reflect upon ourselves and how desperately one holds on to childhood. I simply could not enjoy the story as much as I liked the meaning behind it.
