Works well, good speed, connected to a trendnet “N” router. The only thing that you should know is that it does not appear to be configurable using a “hidden” SSID. I had to broadcast the SSID, configure the card, ensure that the feature was active that tells the card to connect to the network even if it’s not broadcasting, and then hid the SSID on my router. It’s a big of a quirk, but easily worked around. The price can’t be beat!

I have had my Kindle 2 for 6 months now. I LOVE IT!!!! The ONLY thing I wish was that it was backlit. I waffled between the Kindle and the Sony E-Reader and I am SO happy with my purchase. I love that I can be on vacation on the beach and download a book in a minute. Thanks Amazon!!!

The readout displays nothing then goes from nonesens numnbers to a good readout which takes about 6 seconds. Only then can you stand on it. If you just step on you will get a weight of 0.0 and you have to start again. It is really easy to read large numbers on the scale easy to read and it lights up so one can read it in the dark. However, It takes awhile before you can get on the scale. you have to first kick it or tap it with your toe then wait for it to cycle and calibrate itself.

This book combines the validation of grief with the truth of Scripture.This needs to be read by anyone whose child has died whether recently or years ago.The book is an excellent resource for those who are friends of the parents and want to gain insight on the roller coaster of emotions that a parent continually goes through.

This sleekly designed scale looks great in my bathroom, but just like my tap-on scale, it “remembers” my previous weight and sometimes I have to step on it four or five times to get it to change (when I know perfectly well my weight has changed because I have, for example, taken off three pounds of clothing). Disappointing.

These futuristic scales are brushed metal on the sides and clear glass on top, so you can see through the middle to the floor. The display is bright light blue and the digits are large and easy to read. You don’t have to zero the reading first, just step on and weigh, to the nearest tenth of a pound. Can also be set for kilograms and stones!

An amazing book! It was recommended by a friend, and so I thought I would read it to see if it would give me any new insights into the age-old questions about the purpose of life etc. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it blew me away! It’s a conversation between an ordinary man called Neale Donald Walsch (with a lot of problems in his life) and God (you may not accept that it’s ‘God’ talking, but then that’s up to you) and it’s written in a very easy to read style. From the first page it had me riveted and I couldn’t put it down. You learn about the importance of trusting your feelings, expressing appreciation, how all human feelings are rooted in either fear or love and that we have been taught to live in fear. As it says in the book ‘precious little is said about the glory of the most loving’, but an awful lot is said in our society about being ‘better’, ’stronger’ and ‘cleverer’ than others. Fear motivates us to be this, because we don’t want to be considered failures. All the big questions are answered: why are we here? Why is there evil in the world? Is there sin? Is there a hell? If so, what is it? Why do things happen as they do? What happens when you die? How can I have successful relationships? Is having a lot of money a bad thing? And inbetween times there’s also humour, because we’re told that God has a great sense of humour!

So many of my questions were answered in a totally new way (going to church or reading the Bible had never given me answers like these) and not only did they make sense to me, they were also liberating! If you’re remotely curious about any of the above questions, then I would encourage you to read this book and decide for yourself whether the answers are for you or not.

I live in a hilly and bumpy area and was concerned that this product would slide around, but I found that that there was nothing to fear. Even when I tried to make it slide on the narrowest reverse-bank turns it wouldnt budge.

Also, there’s a somewhat useless slot under my radio where nothing goes (for tape deck?). I found that sticking in one or two “legs” of this thing in worked great, and it held solidly. Nice when I want to keep it out of sight

While the title of this text is ‘One Heart’, there are in fact many aspects of ‘heart’ contained here. What the editor Bonnie Louise Kuchler and essayist Andrew Harvey have attempted to show, with some success, is that there are universal aspects to faith and hope across various religious and spiritual communities, which only makes sense at a very basic level — we are all human, and as such, share many important things in common.

This is not a systematic or philosophical theology book; rather, it is an inspirational and spiritual text. The subtitle of the book, ‘universal wisdom from the world’s scriptures’, gives a key to understanding — this is not a book of catechisms, or beliefs, or dogmatic structures, or philosophical explanations. No attempt has been made here to examine the differences in the religious traditions, but rather to concentrate on those things that are shared wisdom, those things that draw us together. There are eight chapters, each focused upon a major theme (compassion, acceptance, humility, integrity, faith, wisdom, discipline, surrender), and within these major divisions are shorter subtopics.

The bulk of the text comes from received scriptures of the seven major religions of the world – Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Taoism. However, Kuchler does not limit herself to these, and one finds scattered throughout the text insights and pieces from Greek philosophers, African traditional religions, Native American religions, Sikhism, Jainism, Shinto, and more. These are more than a mere collection of ‘quotable quotes’ from the world’s spiritual traditions (though it could function as such); the grouping of the passages lends weight to the idea that there is much that draws humanity together, with aspects of wisdom and faith that transcend our more temporal and temporary perceptions.

After each chapter, there is a brief description and suggestion for practices the reader can engage to get a deep
