This is the best carpet cleaner ive ever used, the most effective. I even learned to live with the rather mundane task of refilling and emptying the containers because it really made a big difference in my carpets. However, after maybe a year of every other month use-the clean surge brushes stopped spinning. I noticed one day they werent working, but went ahead and finished my cleaning..well, the next day-there were stripes all over my living room floor where the solution was sprayed into the carpet, but because the brushes didnt rotate-it didnt clean properly! I have since lent it to my sisterinlaw who also had the same experience. The only useful part of the cleaner is the hand tool now-which stinks because this truly is the best cleaner out there. Ive owned the bissell steam clean-and this blew it away!
Protect It! Surge Suppressor

I rarely ever pick up a book that I find absolutely amazing but recently I purchased this book and I think it is quite possibly the best book out there on security for Windows-based networks. I cannot strongly enough encourage everyone to pick up a copy of this book.

I picked up this book because I noticed it was authored by Steve Riley. If you’ve ever done anything with IPSec on Windows you’ve probably run across articles by Steve Riley on Microsoft’s site. While both the authors are Microsoft employee’s, this book, as you will note, is not a Microsoft Press book and I assume the authors did this so they could speak more freely about security and not be obligated to follow standard MS security rhetoric.

A few things make this book an absolute standout amongst other security books. First, the tone of the book is very casual. The book is written primarily as a discussion between you and the authors. Typically, security material is very dry to say the least. I found their writing style so easy to handle that I read this book for 4 hours the first time I picked it up.

The subtitle of this book is “From Perimeter to Data”. It totally lives up to that description. The book addresses security at every level including wired and wireless network security, VPN security, server security, desktop security, and application security. They also talk extensively about identifying attacks and methodology used to perform attacks against these different levels.

One of the most wonderful things about this book is that the authors dispel many of the commonly assumed idea’s about what is good security. They go over specific security settings in Windows and tell you what’s good and bad about them. They actively write about many commonly cited security principles and provide good strong arguments for why they are useless. As examples, they make a strong argument against using account lock-out. They ridicule disabling SSID’s in wireless environments. They also point out the faults of

The salesman sold me the Monster Protector, $$$, for my LCD TV. I checked on Amazon, bought the Tripp Lite. I am very pleased and returned the over-priced Monster Although it is unlikely that any surge protector will prevent a direct hit, this looks like a quality surge protector, with guarantees if your equipment is damaged.
Tripp Lite TLP810NET Protect

Like everyone else’s review… This product is stylish (although somehow a nicer LED display would be nice) and most importantly, very accurate (and on top of it, a good price). I got this scale for health reasons as I am using this to better monitor my weight. It really didn’t do much good when I had no confidence if my weight varied +/- 3 pounds on my current scale. OK, perhaps not that wide of a range, but based on my new approach, I need to weigh myself every day, which motivates me to exercise as I should and to watch what I eat. Having an accurate scale like this is important to this approach to be able to see progress for every 0.2 pounds.
