Starting in February 2010, after less than three months of use, two of these cables have tolerance or continuity problems with the connector on the TV end. If I jiggle the connector and hold it just right, the cables work OK. If I substitute other cables between the same devices, all is well.
Purchased three of these in Nov 2008, tested when new and they seemed to work fine. I put them in a drawer. Started using two of them in December 2009 between identical BluRay players and one LG TV and one Samsung TV. Worked fine for a while. I gave the third cable to a neighbor last week and it is still working for her. Another HDMI cable (Panasonic OEM) connected between a DVD recorder and the Samsung TV has been working fine since December 2008.

I was shocked at the amount of fur this pulled off of our St Bernard/Wolf mix. He has a very thick coat that seems unending – normal brushes do very little.
The demonstration videos of the Furminator are not an exaggeration; it works exactly like they say it does. I made the joke that the item comes with a free Pomeranian because the (compressed) ball of fur we end up with each time is the size of a small dog.
I don’t know yet how often the head needs to be replaced to maintain optimum functionality but we have used it about 10 times now and it still works perfectly.
Others also mentioned that their dogs seem to enjoy the feeling of this product – almost like scratching them with your fingers. Our dog was a little unsure about it when we started but he promptly fell asleep while we brushed him. I thought the product might pull on the hair too much but it seems to just slide right through with almost no resistance; you just have to watch out for matted spots of fur.
If you have a dog who is shy of brushes just walk to him/her without using excitement and set it on the floor for the dog to sniff then gradually start brushing.
If you have a thick-coated pup this will be a great help for maintaining the amount of fur left around the house. Also, if you live in a hot-weather climate with a thick-coated dog this does a good job of removing the undercoat to help keep him/her cool.

I was quite impressed how many positive reviews this steamvac received. subsequently I purchased one for myself and wanted to share with you my thoughts.
positives
* great job of removing stains
* clean surge is a nice feature to inject extra shampoo into areas that are spotted
* rotating brushes does a great job of removing the dirt and stains
* the hoses and attachments all store nicely
* carpet dries quickly
negatives
I really liked the unit but was a little disappointed at how often I had to change the water! on the steamvac there is (1) reservoir that holds the dirty water and (1) reservoir that holds the new solution. on a typical 10×10 room I had to fill/change both reservoirs at least once. keep in mind this is on a 10×10 room so if your planning on doing the whole house then you will be changing quite often which is a little distracting because you start to get into a groove only to have to stop the process.
the stair attachment is a little weak in my opinion especially with the spray. your better off in my opinion just filling a spray bottle with hot solution and spot treat the areas that you want cleaned.
yes the unit did leak a little and I think that had to do with folding the unit back to access the dirty water reservoir. you should remove the clean solution reservoir first which will minimize any water leakage. also when you remove the hose attachments keep in mind that there may be some water in the hose.
no idea if the cleaning power would rival a rug doctor that you rent at the store. I think the unit is convenient almost like a regular vacuum and does get the stains out. if you spot treat you could probably get out more stubborn stains. it would be nice if the unit heated the water as well.
hopefully future releases will take into considerations some of the drawbacks that I outlined. overall I am happy with the unit and would recommend it. the price is right and it does the job!
I won’t go into details about the product because I bought it as a gift, but I can say that buying through Amazon saved me thirty bucks. Cha-Ching!

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is about a 12 year old boy who is a genius but the sad thing is, he is also a criminal. One day he and his butler go to a forest and find a drunken fairy. Then they take this fairy book from it and translate it to English and then they figure out there is some sort of fairy Gold.
This books theme is that you should never give up, never stop trying, and always keep your head up. For example, this fairy says Artemis can’t do a certain task, but he still believes he can do it.
I like this book because it always makes me wonder what’s going to happen in the next chapter. I think it would make you have the same feeling. So maybe you should read this book.

Got my new scale a few days ago and am very impressed, it seams very accurate and stylish. For the price i think it is a great upgrade from my old dial scale. Also the 13 month old grandaughter wont stay off the thing she just loves the blue backlit display.

As a professional photographer I rely on memory chips to save my images. My experiences with various brands of memory put the Transcend brand right up there with brands costing twice as much.

I am an avid Twilight fan and also an avid Austen fan. I love Shakespeare and his languge of love and longing. I love the romance that swirls around me when I read these works or watch the films that go along with them. This book, I did not hear about, until I was miles from home ( I was in Michigan for the summer and I live in NC)and did not have easy access to a book store. I was at an Arts camp working as a counselor and was told about a book named Twilight. I had never heard of the series, never heard of Edward or Bella, never heard of Stephanie Meyer; the only contact I ever had with this series was a movie poster that was in one of the theaters I had been in while I was in MI. Well, I got to a book store and purchased the first two books at the same time. I started to read this book and could not put it down!! I like Bella as a character, but I feel like sometimes she does undermind herself. I thinks she gets more confidence as the book goes along. I absolutely love the Cullen family. Each member has their purpose and is a integratal part of the story. I wish Rosalie was a little more accepting, but I understand why she is isn’t.
As for Edward, being an Austen fan, I love the Mr. Darcy character from her books and hope to some day find my own Mr. Darcy. I feel, in a way, that our Edward from Twilight is sort of patterned after Darcy. He makes each woman melt with his actions that show his love for his woman and he tries to fight his feelings even though it is useless in the long run. I have read this book twice and want to read it again. Every time I reread it I get the same feelings that I got the first time, plus a few feelings that are new. Young or old, teen or grandmother, you will love this man and his family and his love for this girl. I have often felt like Bella when it comes to guys and I understand the way she feels toward Edward. If you’ve found your own Edward, read to him this book and if you haven’t, cuddle up with this book

I have used my Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer every day for a month and it has changed the way I walk. My first day I did 12,175 steps and by my 30th day I was walking over 28,009 steps. It is so easy to wear and keep track of your walking. I’ve even dropped it a few times and it is so well made it wasn’t damaged in any way. I know several other people who love their’s.

descriptive, thought provocing writing. J.D. Salinger has a way with words that causes the imagination to relive or relate to almost all of his writing. Great story….
