Good movie, but it’s only an hour long! It seems throughout the movie that they even struggled to make it that long. They repeated lots of things and scenes from the first movie, so you’re going to be watching a lot of the same things over again. Statham is great in it, and it’s a good movie to see at least once. Definitely not amazing like the first though.
Crank 2 High Voltage

When ordering I read many reviews and figured…for $3 a piece what do I have to lose? I lost signal from my HD DVR is what I lost. Now I am stuck having to go get another cable. This cable only worked for 4 days. While watching a movie the screen all of a sudden went blank on my Samsung 750 and said “No Signal”. Basically what this means is that when a digital cable loses it’s integrity you lose your signal. The TV still recognized that there was a cable plugged in but was not receiving any signal from my DVR. I have thrown this away and am buying a better cable. It’s not worth the hassle to repackage, go to the post office, pay for shipping and wait for a new one. I bought 3 of these and they all now reide in the bottom of my trash can! Please don’t believe the hype and buy something else. $3 is not worth ruining your TV by getting an annoying flicker and signal loss. Spend $20 and buy a cable that you won’t have to worry about.
L Space Wild Child

I bought this unit based on previous reviews on this board, and So far I have been very pleased with this lightweight gem. It seems to work great and it’s user friendly enough for mature children to operate. I highly recommend as well.
Compact Digital Camera Carrying

I purchased my ipod specifically to use the Kindle app to read books while away from home.. and was thrilled with the many other uses for my ipod touch! I purchased a 32gb and I recommend at least that size. Mine is nowhere near being full but I feel like I have plenty of room to add music, movies, books, etc without hitting the limit.

I can’t imagine not having one now… I use it constantly – checking online banking, email, playing games, reading. It’s great for traveling, basically a little pocket computer. I was hesitant to spend the money on it at first but I have to say it is definitely worth it. I looked into getting a netbook but I love this because it just slides into my purse and consolidates my music, books, etc…

I give it 5 stars!

I just received the hoover tempo vacuum today [model u5140900) so I’ll need to add an additional review later after I’ve used it a few more times for cleaning my home. What I want to call out today is that if you purchase this vacuum it is not the one with “select model features” = check bag indicator, headlight, or embedded dirtfinder (red/green light highlights areas that may need more cleaning. Based upon running the vaccuum for the first time today I think that I will still be VERY pleased with the purchase especially for the price but I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.

I loved this story of 3 women, 2 African-American maids and one White plantation owner’s daughter whose commonalities prevail over their seeminly unpenetrable differences. Taking place in Jackson, Mississippi during the early sixties, Stockett weaves her story so that even if you were as far removed as possible from any of her characters lives, you still felt a glimpse of what it must have been like for them in some small way. I cheered for the three of them because in spite of what they risked, they were so inherently focused on what was right that nothing could stop them. I can’t help but think that this book was in some way, a tribute to all those stories of putting fear and retribution aside and taking a stand for what was right, race be damned. Stockett herself said that she wrote this book as a tribute to her own beloved childhood maid.

Prague A Musical Journey

I found out about this item from a distribution list I am signed up for that focuses on how to save money. It was recommended to spot treat ahead of time and then use only boiling water in the cleaner, no detergent. The theory of avoiding detergent is that soap is difficult to get out of the carpet and adds to future dirtiness/stickyness of the carpet. Theory of using boiling water is that first of all it is very hot which means it cleans the carpet better and secondly, it is easier to get the carpet dry.

We had just purchased a foreclosed home and didn’t really want to replace the carpet right away as we have multiple dogs and teenagers and would rather wait several years until we have less dogs and teenagers at home to replace it. But I did want clean carpet!

The carpet is an off-white and had definitely seen better days. We had the carpet cleaned professionally before we moved in and it looked better than before but was still dingy and I wasn’t satisfied. So I bought this cleaner and tried it again using the spot treatment & boiling water method and was blown away by all of the gunk and nastiness that came out of the carpet even AFTER “professional” cleaning…and the carpet looked ten times better than before once it dried.

I would definitely buy it all over again. Spent over $350 dollars on the “professional” cleaning job and less than half that for this unit and it can be reused over and over again to keep the carpet clean. I highly recommend it but again…no detergent and use boiling water. Just do multiple dry “strokes” over the carpet until it dries…no waiting around for it to dry…it is almost instant. We love it!
