Do what you want, no guilt, nothing is right or wrong. No commitments, just feel good. Tired of your partner? Just get a new one. Everyone else is okay unless they’re trying to get you to do something you don’t want to do.

This moral relativism is leading our society down the path of decline. Whether you are a Jew, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or agnostic, life is enhanced by some self-discipline and guts to stand for something. There is good and evil in the world, right and wrong. If we don’t stand up for it, we’ll descend into a pile of garbage. This is a rehash of the 60’s philosophy of do your own thing, free sex, drugs, feel good, it doesn’t hurt any one but me. These are all lies that degrade our society. If you don’t believe it, teach school for a while. See the hippy grandchildren paying the price for the selfish drug induced excess of their parents and grandparents. We’ve been there done that. It wasn’t very pretty. I didn’t buy it then and I’m not buying it now.

Give me individuals who believe in hard work, discipline, saving rather than spending, community service, a view that goes beyond their own noses and pleasures. That’s what makes a society and its people great. Get out and do something for someone and most the neurotic worries about self will disappear. That’s what is basic to all major religions. They have survived for millennia because they work and will long outlast Mr. Walsch. I’m far from perfect, but I know wisdom when I see it. This isn’t it.

Machine is new. Have only done one whole house of carpet. My wife and I were both very pleased with the performance of the machine. The proof will be in the longevity of the unit. I did some online research, and this seemed to be one of the most reliable machines on the market, and a great value. time will tell, but so far we are very happy with it.
Curious George Bubbles 4ct

This book masquerades as being sympathetic to the Black maids in Jackson, Mississippi in the early 1960’s but consider what happens in it. A White woman in the deep South when Jim Crow is rampant interviews Black maids in order to compile a book that will bring the maids’ stories to the attention of the larger world (nb. the format that the Blacks need the White leader). BUT, in spite of this supposedly noble purpose, in fact the self-interested White woman risks nothing she cares about while the Black women she pulls into her project risk everything. And sure enough, by the end, the book about the maids’ stories gets her the job in NYC she was after all along, while the Black maids are left in Jackson to face danger in the wake of the book’s publication. I wrote more about this at [...]

MS Office has changed the headers for the program making it easier to locate tools and functions. Does take some getting used to but still has superior functionality for office productivity software.
Sweet Baby Girl Diaper

I don’t know if you have seen the videos on this thing, but they are legit. I have an English Cream Golden Retriever that I brush almost every other day with the furminator, and by the time I’m done, the pile of fur I remove from her looks like a little poodle. Definitely cuts down on her shedding as well… BUT you have to use it on a consistent basis if you want to maximize its benefits (decrease shedding).

The Nintedo Wii is not a terrible product, but it is nothing special. The vast majority of the games are made for people under the age of 7. This is not bad if you are looking for a family console but it only does just that. When we got our wii several of the games we got with it didn’t work well, not that the games were broken but they were unresponsive even after we adjusted the receiver. It is very hard to play shooter games because of the way the controls are made, like in Call of Duty: World at War, you have to press down B and twist counter-clockwise to throw a fragment grenade. Because you are twisting it is impossible to aim and therefore nearly impossible to use (Whenever I try the grenade ends up blowing my squad to pieces). It is also harder to snipe than on other consoles. Half the time in the middle of an online match you will move to try and find your enemy and it will spazz out for 3-6 seconds, enough time to get shot. If you are going to play shooter games get something else (I play MOH on my gamecube more). Mario Cart however is good. it is great for parties and fun to play contact racing where you can push the person sitting next to you. Sometimes the controller wants you to go another way and no matter how you turn you will go straight into a wall. Wii play is also pretty fun, but I only play tanks, cow racing, target practice, and the fishing game. Im am actually saving to buy an xbox 360 because of better games and graphics. If Your looking for young person/entire family entertainment look no further, but if you want to play shooter games, get an xbox or ps3.

The Hiro presenter works great, and adds a very nice professional touch to giving presentations. You can walk around the room, help individuals, etc. and still step through your slides and even use the mouse features to operate a program, etc. The integrated laser pointer is a very nice plus. The size is small yet easy to operate. Nice balance. When you compare the price of the Hiro with other products in this niche, its a great value.

The only difficulty I found was in selecting a block of text. You can do this, but it takes two hands and a good deal of dexterity. But then, this sort of operation probably isn’t what you’d be doing in a presentation, anyway.

We’ve owned this scale for about a month now, and it is a great scale. I have two comments that might help others.

The instructions recommend putting the scale in one place and not moving it. I think that is fairly important to do to get consistent weights.

One of the reasons I picked this scale is because it is accurate to 2/10 of a pound. Our cat has had some health problems and we want to keep track of her weight. My wife feels much better now that she can see that Bella’s weight is staying the same week to week. Since she only weighs 9.2 pounds, I hold her in my arms on the scale and then subtract my weight from our combined weight.

I would recommend this scale to others.
Zoo Med Red Nocturnal

Even though there is a more current model available, I purchased this one primarily because it is cheaper than the newer one. After talking with more seasoned runners, several said the newer model was larger and the navigation tools were not as easy to use. I purchased this model (again) after giving my last one to my fiancee. It has all the necessities without the price of the newer features that I do not need. PS – I love this size as it is not as large as the newer one.

I can’t exactly add much to the already glowing reviews on this product, but I had to add my two cents. I was doubtful that a vacuum at this price could actually provide quality cleaning. I was wrong. I haven’t had it too long, but it picks up just about anything on both thick carpet and tile floor. My husband is allergic to dust-mites, which is the reason we bought this vacuum. It actually seems to be helping.
