Sounds good by the title, but this is another New Age that offers nothing. I threw it in the trash the day I bought it.
The Story of Columbus

Worked well for 12 months of light use (single bed room, weekly once)… and then burns and horrible customer service of Amazon / Hoover didn’t do a thing about it.

I’ve bought 2 times the same product, and I’m very happy with this SD. Used on a SLR Digital Camera, is fast and reliable.

I recommend.

This book is a MUST read.
The other reviews are all true and helpful….
… from the very first line this story carries you away. The emotion invoked was strong. There isn’t any way to describe this book. It moved me to anger, tears, horror, vindication. In the end, I had a different outlook on entertainment involving animals and on the human being aging.

Unfortunately, I bought this book based on the rave reviews I was hearing from friends and associates. I couldn’t make it through the first chapter before I was forced to stop torturing myself. While I am an avid reader and will usually finish anything once I start reading, good or bad, the ’so called’ dialect used in The Help was painful. It was so far off the mark that it became the focal point of my experience and the story was lost. I know there may have been a struggle with Southern ‘black’ dialect but asking for help is not a crime. I am sure someone should have caught these errors before it went to the printing stage so the fault is not entirely the authors but she is surely at fault. Without reading the book I would question how accurate and ‘on-the-mark’ she would be on the maids perspective. After all if she chose not to research the dialect or use of language from southern blacks in the 60s it’s possible she was lazy in other areas as well. Again, I will never know and if anyone wants a slightly ‘used’ copy of The Help let me know before it becomes an altered book of art.

As a Blackberry Storm user purchasing my first IPOD touch, let me just say one thing….WOW! I was amazed from the very start. It’s very responsive, doesn’t crash, and made me realize how clunky typing on the Blackberry has been. I’ve had the IPOD for a month and I am now a self confessed “app-o-holic”. The amount of applications available is unbelievable. I’ve found just about anything I’ve been looking for (most of the time as a free application). I will touch on a few of the Pros and Cons I felt were important.

Pros:
* Long battery life. (The battery performed as advertised. About 30 hours for music, 6 to 10 hours for video, Wi-Fi. Apps varied on draining the battery).

* Beautiful screen and slime design. (Vibrant color and very responsive to touch).

* Typing. ( It just works. Typing felt so much more accurate and faster than my Blackberry ). My only complaint would be that not all applications allow for one to type in landscape mode, which gives you the bigger keyboard. Overall, this is a minor issue since typing is easy regardless.

* Apps, Apps and more Apps. (The amount of applications available to download is almost endless.)

* Accessories for almost any need. Wide variety to choose from.

Cons:
* No camera. I knew this before buying the IPOD Touch, but it still is a disappointment. This seems like it should be a basic feature especially since it holds photos and there are so many apps that use a camera function.

* No built in microphone. Very lame to have to use the microphone provided with the headphones. Makes it useless in the car. If I have an idea I want to capture, my Blackberry can record the voice note. It seems rather stupid to have to plug in the headphones to record a voice note.

* No GPS. This one isn’t as big an issue for me, but it would have been nice if that were included.

Overall, I still use my Blackberry Storm to use the functions lacking on the IPOD Touch. I realize these functions are available for t
Custom Edition for Columbus

I took an instant dislike to the title character, and the more I read, the less I liked him. It is easy to see the appeal to a certain age group: the kid is smart, he has resources, and he has his own private goon squad to sic on anyone who displeases him. The author has created a sociopathic little monster with the moral compass of a pit viper. Great role model for the younger set! Every once in a while, the author tries to insert something to make us like Artemis better. He loves his mommy – so have most of the serial killers in real life. Now and then he questions (sort of) what he is doing, then he goes ahead and does it anyways. His victims in the first book are the fairies, and I give the author credit for a nice take on the little people – I was rooting for them all the way. If it hadn’t been for this imaginative portrayal, I would have been looking for a way to give this book a negative star rating. The story is well written, which makes the subject matter even more appalling. I will not be purchasing any more books in the series.
