When my mother sent this book to me I did not think would enjoy it. After the first few pages I was hooked. What a truly enjoyable read.

My wife and I are totally thrilled with our Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer! We’ve given one to our friends on several occasions, and many in our exercise classes wear an HJ-112 during the time we are on our spinning bicycles! These are great for people in various degrees of rehabilitation, too, where walking is prescribed. Case in point: A relative of ours just had open heart surgery; he now proudly wears his pedometer every day…and is amazed how it motivates him to really enjoy walking!!! I am a backpacker, and I wear my pedometer on all my trips. It’s amazing how accurate this nifty electronic device is; and it’s nice knowing how far I’ve hiked to my lake-destination!!!

This is very cute and has great attachments. That said, the battery operated spinner is kind of weird. It turns, but the two cross pieces don’t spin obviously, they wobble back and forth in a weird spastic way. The attachment is also heavy and tends to slide down too. So, as cute as it is, I don’t use that part of it often unless my son turns it on. My baby likes to chew on the rocket and the monkey, and there are lots of places to hang toys.

NAS, or Network Attached Storage is all the rage these days. Made very simple, NAS is basically a hard drive attached somewhere in your network that is accessible to computers on your network. Typically, however, NAS drives are anything but simple, requiring complex account, permissions, and volume set-up and administration. And that is both the good news and bad news with La Cie’s “network space”, which they call a “Central Storage Ethernet Disk” rather than a NAS drive.

First, this is a sleek, rather small (4.6 x 7.6 x 1.8 in) shinny black drive with a cool blue drive and power indicator on the front. There are only a few connections on this box. On the back are a power plug and Ethernet jack (and a power switch) and the front has a USB connector. Capacity is 500 GB or 1 TB, and the primary data interface is 10/100/1000 Ethernet, but this does not run at full Ethernet speeds. Typical transfer rates are up to 8 MB/s, depending on file sizes and formats, LAN configuration and your own network factors. You can share content locally up to a maximum of 5 users at a time. The device is an iTunes-compliant server, and you can stream music & video on UPnP media players (however, a UPnP certified digital media adapter is required.)

The good news: This is about as easy to set-up as anything resembling NAS is ever about to become. Take it out of the box, plug it in to the AC, and connect the included Ethernet cable to your router or hub. If you have a DHCP network, which is typical these days, your router will assign it an IP address, and you are done. All computers on your network will now see two new items on the network, and they give immediate access to this drive. I can see it on my all Macs, on my Windows XP machine, and even on an Ubuntu Linux box.

From a PC, when you open My Network Places, browse Microsoft Windows Network, and open Workgroup, you should see an icon labeled “LaCie Network Space.” Simply double click that, and two network folders should appea

I wanted to give a positive review for this book amongst the recent negative ones.

When you read “Twilight” keep in mind it is a simple, light, young-adult read. It is not educational, it is not great literature that will be read in classrooms; It is just a nice, feel good story that sucks you in and distracts you for a while akin to plopping down on the couch and turning on cable TV after a long day.

With that said, I personally enjoyed the novel. I felt the plot was creative and the story sucked me in enough where I always wanted to see what came next. The relationship between Bella and Edward was touching and believable, and I felt emotionally invested in the story as the characters fell in love. The book made me feel high and happy for days after reading it.

I was a bit disappointed, as others have said, in the shallowness of the characters. In particular, I felt like a 100-year old vampire should have a lot more depth to him. I was hoping for more insight into Edward’s philosophy–how a character like Edward sees himself, the world and his relationships. But then again, the story was told from the point of view of a teenager and as a simple read, I imagined the author probably did not want to go into philosophy in the same way that Anne Rice did with her thought-provoking vampire novels.

I was hoping to see Bella really question herself and her relationship with Edward. And I desperately wanted to see a real suspenseful climax where Edward was overtaken by Bella in a moment of true weakness, and her life was seriously threatened by him–as a I felt the book forewarned many times but never followed through with.

All in all, I think the book served its purpose in entertainment. I did finish the series, but I found all the other books to be too lengthy, inconsistent and far-fetched for my taste. As a potential spoiler to anyone who may be clueless about what comes next.. I did not find the werewolfs to be a pleasing addition to the series. Once I read this
