This small digital camera is very easy to use and is small enough to fit into a pocket or purse. The owner’s manual is clear and the displays are well-designed. If you haven’t used the camera for a while, or only skimmed the manual, you can figure out the basic controls fairly well.

The LCD screen is a nice size and gives a clear sharp picture.

It takes approximately 2 hours to charge the battery.

I bought an extra battery and the upgraded memory card. I would strongly recommend getting the larger memory card. I would also recommend getting the AC adapter kit when you buy the camera. Without it, you will be using up battery power when you download the pictures to your computer.

At the age of seventeen, most adolescents have to make a decision as to what they will do with their life. Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye taking place in New York in the 1950’s, is no different. He decides that he has to “catch everybody if they start to go over a cliff – I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I’d do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only thing I’d really like to be”. Holden is in the process of transitioning into adulthood; however, he wants to preserve his childhood innocence. He watched as his brother Allie died of leukemia at a young age and can’t bear to think of anyone else missing out on the virtues of childhood. He wants to protect his sister Phoebe from the evil adult world as he encourages her to ride the carousel. Holden himself attempts to venture into society, but can never seem to manage. Going out late at night, drinking, and getting involved with prostitutes are things that Holden tries to do to make the difficult transition. However, Holden faces many internal conflicts that prevent him from entering adulthood. He has flunked out of four preparatory schools and feels abandoned by his parents because he knows they will just send him off to another one without trying to understand the problem. Holden continues to search for his identity, and an answer to where the ducks go when the lagoon in Central Park freezes. All readers will be able to relate to Holden’s frustrations, disappointments, thoughts, and decisions. He proves himself to be complex, sharing the mentality of teenagers today. The audience can connect to Holden’s feelings of isolation and fear of growing up. The theme of Salinger’s book is timeless because Holden’s concerns match those of teenagers everywhere in every era. The Catcher in the Rye is a classic that is truly deserving of
Canon EOS Rebel T2i

I have owned this lens for a year. It has amazed me that coupled with instant ISO changes, I can take virtually any photo in natural light without flash. IS is the true beauty of the lens. I recently traveled to the south pacific and there discovered that I am able to take photos after dusk at sub 1/40th sec. exposures with absolutely no blurring. The results are stunning. Optically it is not the best lens I own, but this IS the workhorse lens for my EOS XTi. Once you experience the superior IS there is simply no going back to std lenses.

Okay, we all know the good things the iPod Touch has to offer, and those reasons are why I am BARELY holding on to the thing. I am still considering taking it back. Here’s why:

1) Speaker quality is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. The speaker is simply not functional, unless you are in perhaps a recording studio. When you turn it up all the way (because you can’t hear it) it becomes fuzzy, sounding like a blown speaker. What is this thing, the size of a flea? And if there is ANY background noise, you cannot hear it at all with the volume up (in case you’re wondering, no, the speaker did not fail. I exchanged the iPod, and the second one sounded the same: really bad). I can’t share videos, share music, share anything, unless my friends and I are in a wine cellar.

I’ve heard excuses for the speaker’s embarrassing quality, including “it’s a small device”. My cheap Samsung cell phone’s speaker is 4x better than the iPod Touch, and the phone is smaller. The other excuse I’ve heard is “The speaker was designed for game play.” Wait, what? That’s not a valid excuse, because the IPOD is a MUSIC device. And that aside, what if I wanted my friends to hear the game play? For example, like 2 player Tap Tap Revolution 3 is unplayable, unless you are in a quiet room.

2) Price: Let’s face it, this thing is too expensive, as are EVERY SINGLE ONE OF APPLE’S PRODUCTS. Sure, they are “Designed in California”, but they are MADE IN CHINA, just like everything else.

3) Microphone: WHY IS THERE NOT A MICROPHONE ON THIS THING? “It doesn’t need one” is the response I always get. I mean, just, why not have one? They are cheap, and the iPhone has one. Why have the “Voice Memo” option when I have to plug in the headphones to use it? Often I am not using the headphones: I am using the iPod for wifi, or using it in the car, and I would like to record a voice memo. I would also like to use it for recording scratch guitar riffs and song ideas. And WHY should I have to plug in the headphones f

I was always reluctant to switch to digital from film, but last year I tested the waters and bought a Digital Rebel XT. I found that on the job I would opt for my digital more and more until I finally quit bringing my film rig along with me when shooting on location.

I’ve just recently upgraded to the 30D, and I can say now that this is almost the perfect digital SLR. I love the professional features that the XT lacked, and the 30D also feels much more solid. It balances much better with Canon’s professional lenses, and the 2.5″ screen makes more of a difference than I thought it would.

The only negative point is that the 1.6x lens magnification factor robs my 24-70 f/2.8L lens of its wide angle capabilities, so I will probably have to buy the 16-35 f/2.8L in order to cover the wide angles I need for some indoor photography at weddings and for photographing music acts in small clubs.

That’s really a minor complaint that’s easily remedied, though, so I very confidently give the 30D my full recommendation for photographers of all levels and abilities.

Very convenient to use. Great product if you are going to use your gps in multiple cars.

This is my first digital camera ever purchased and i love it. I did a couple of months of research and found this camera to fit my needs. I have had a lot of camera interaction through friends and family so I can definately tell the difference in picture quality. There are many different features and it seems like I everytime I play with it I find a new feature. Good camera and I’m looking forward to all the future pictures I will take.

The nice thing about this book is that its full of humour and action, but not the standard knights in shining armor on a battlefield kind of action as it is with most fantasy books. While the latter is fun to read as well, it is nice to get a break from those epic type fantasies, and that is exactly what Artemis Fowl delivers, albiet in a more teen friendly way.

An interesting storyline combined with good humor and a very interesting main character makes this a great read for teens.

Mixed reviews held me back from reading this book for quite some time, despite my recent foray into juvenile literature. I have to say I have mixed feelings as well, though not for a lot of the reasons I’ve read (okay, people who say a 12-year-old criminal mastermind is just ‘too farfetched’ of an idea… did you notice the fairies and dwarves and trolls and the centaur? Oh, a 12-year old genius is too much to handle, but all of the fantasy creatures… no problem? Fiction, people… it’s fiction. If I wanted ‘real world’ stuff I’d just leave the house!). Mostly I had a very hard time picturing a lot of the creatures (specifically the dirt-eating unhinged-jawed dwarf) and didn’t have a great handle on the setting/technology/magic being described. But the action was good, and I did like a lot of the characters. So it gets a pretty middle-of-the road review, though I will read more in the series.

An excellent use of $76.49! (w/free shipping)

Pro: I think this is one of the most powerful vacuum cleaners I have ever owned.

Con: The plastic hose is just a bit too short.

Very pleased. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
