There was no doubt or anxiety for me on this one, as I had bought my first Hoover Carpet cleaner , ten years ago. Nothing wrong with it now, but my son is always borrowing it, so I made him a gift of it, and bought this new one. Great Price..and no complaints.

I have not yet gotten this to work. It worked for 10 minutes and stopped. Wish that I had not bought on line.
Have another Hoover and it works well – but not this one.

I picked up Twilight by Stephenie Meyer last year during one of Borders’ Buy 2 get 1 promotion (I know this because the sticker was still on the cover). At the time I knew nothing about the book but I was intrigued by the premise and so picked it up. Since that time this book has become a phenomenon among teens and adults alike (at this posting there were 4500+ copies cataloged on librarything). One of the main reviews on Amazon even calls Twilight “an exquisite fantasy.” On Librarything, Amazon and Barnes & Noble this book was predominately rated at 5 stars. So by the time I got around to reading to this book I was excited thinking that I had a real gem of a tale to sink into.

In fact, Twilight left me stunned…but not in a good way. Not in the “oh my this is one of the best books that I have ever read” sort of stunned. Instead all I kept thinking about was that the main character Bella, who is the narrator of the story, was obsessed. When Bella first moves to Forks, Washington and first encounters the eningmatic and overly beautiful boy Edward Cullen she is intially put off by him….mainly because he has such violent reactions of mood when he is near her. This dislike that Bella has for Edward only lasts a chapter or two before she is drawn to him. He is so handsome after all, how can she not fall for him? Even though initally he is very rude and mean to her. Yet still she yearns for Edward. Then, all too quickly, when Edward starts to loosen up and start to really charm Bella her yearning turns to a deep and all consuming obsession with him. So much so that it isn’t long before she wants to spend every waking moment with him…..and that anytime apart is pure agony.

Overall, this book scares me. This is a book that many young teen girls are picking up and devouring and thinking that its a true love story. That Bella and Edward are as star-crossed as Romeo and Juliet. That their relationship is something to look up to…..to emulate. When in fact its far from

I purchased the WII system with two goals, to get my wife and myself moving (using WII Fit and the balance board), and to try my hand at gaming again (after a multiple year layoff). I’m quite satisfied with the workouts offered by the WII FIT system, and it’s pretty easy for me to stay interested in daily excersize. My only complaint is that there is much more empahsis on snappy movement, as opposed to good form.
As for gaming, I purchased Call of Duty Reflex and the Zapper remote holder. As expected it took me a day or so to get up to speed with the aiming, movement, an such, but once I got the hang of it, it took me about 12 days of play (a couple of hrs at a time) to complete all missions in the game and open the Arcade Mode. I greatly enjoyed the game, with the only complaint being the graphics quality, (but I didn’t expect great graphics from the WII)
Overall I gave the system 4 stars.
