My Audi caught fire so we had to get a new Lexus to replace it. There was no way that my GPS’ included mount would work in the Lexus, so I looked for alternatives.

I found this product, and was extremely dubious that it was going to work, it just didn’t seem stable enough.

Six months on, and I’m glad I bought it. It works perfectly, giving a really stable base to the GPS, and allowing it to be positioned wherever you want on the dash with ease. We recently traveled and needed a rental car, and it was elementary to whip this out of my suitcase and set it up, instead of having to bother with suction cups.

Get this, now.

I have gone through several steam vac’s & this would be my 2nd hoover. Of all the crappy machines out there this has got to be the worst! The hose is such a pain to attach I avoid using it as much as possible. You have to do some disassembling to the machine to get it in & out & you get wet (and likely dirty) in the process. Not to mention dirty water tends to leak all over your floor or carpet. The instructions were so bad it took hours to figure out how to even attach the hose, while reading the instructions over & over & calling customer service to be told they’re closed. No other machine (that I’ve come across) comes with a hose that is not permanently attached! Just makes it messy and a hassle!

The major problem is that this thing hardly holds ANY water. You have to empty the dirty water at least twice for EACH fill up, and the container that holds the dirty water tends to leak it all over the place through the bottom once you get it off the machine to empty it. VERY poor design! To steam vac my dining room, which is roughly 10′ x 7′ I have to fill the clean water tank twice and empty the dirty water at least 3 times. Doing this so often is such a pain! The only up side is it hasn’t broken yet and I’ve owned it for about 3 months with very light usage. It is such a pain to use I avoid using it when possible, only cleaned the whole house with it once when I got it and a spot here & there occasionally. It doesn’t clean great, you have to go over the same area about 3 times to get it decently clean. It’s cheaper than most machines but not worth the money & in my experience with Hoover I don’t expect it to last more than a year. I hate it so much I almost look forward to it breaking so I don’t have to look at or use it any more, it’s that bad!
The Children of Columbus

I have been running for a while and decided to buy this to try to actually “train”. I mostly use just HR, pace, distance right now but hopefully will be able to figure out how to create workouts and use the HR zones soon. It is biggish, but I dont mind. It helps to turn it on and put it in the window sill before you plan to go out as it takes a while to pick up a signal sometimes. I use the Garmin connect website to upload but wish the software were better. I dont think sporttracks is available for macs yet. The buttons are small, and you cant really figure out what you’re doing while you’re running, so it helps to review everything before you actually go out on a run until you get used to it. Overall, easy to use and adds to my fun with workouts.
Chirstopher Columbus The Dream

I got this for my grandkids but after reading it, I actually tore it up and threw it into the recycle. It’s that bad.

The “hero” is a brat who treats everyone and everything as secondary to whatever he personally wants at any given moment and he learns nothing to the contrary from his escapades.

The mythology is a mess. Fairies … traditionally associated with forests and streams … have chosen to live in underground tunnels like moles. Huh?

They not only have magic, but also no discernible civilization or genius, yet have somehow developed technology way beyond ours. Puh-leeze.

They not only have magic and superior technology, but also are just as petty, power hungry and generally unpleasant as humans, yet they HIDE rather than try to dominate at least SOME of the upper world? Riiight.

Centaurs … HUGE, noble star-gazers, right? Here, Foaly is living in tunnels with 3 foot tall fairies, to whom he is the subservient techno-nerd. Suuuuure.

And did I mention the hero is a rich, spoiled, morally challenged bully who wins in the end? YUCK!
Columbus and the Discovery

Talk about going back in time! I remember reading this in school over 50 years ago…and what memories it brings back. Good stuff…I feel like a kid again!
The Columbus Legacy in

I cannot recommend this product due to Garmin’s bad product support and the fact that the unit only lasted two months. Buyer beware. While it is working it is a neat tool to track time and distance however at this price the unit should last far longer than two months. This is not a product for serious runners.

With the purchase of my Canon T2i, I wanted a larger capacity flash memory card and decided to start with Transcend’s 16GB product. I have used it extensively in the first month I have owned the camera and am very impressed with the transfer speed and reliability. I have owned other flash memory cards made by Transcend in the past and have never had a problem. I will definitely buy more of their cards in the future!
The story of Columbus

I love the game system, and have had no problems at all with it. I have one gripe with Nintendo though, and this is a warning to anyone new to the system (like me): the instructions are useless. I figured out more just by trial and error than by using the booklet that came with the system. Not a big deal, just a warning. Also, don’t for a minute believe amazon on the delivery time-they are full of it. I ordered it with basic shipping, I wasn’t in a hurry, HOWEVER, waiting 5 business days just to fulfill my order is ridiculous. I can guarantee that if I paid for the express shipping, I wouldn’t have received it by the time they guaranteed. How do I know this? Because once packed, it only took 3 days to ship, which has never happened before. A big deal? maybe not, but I wnated to warn anyone who was buying this as a gift.
