Our old suction cups for the GPS kept failing, and damaging our device. This was the perfect alternative solution. It doesn’t budge at all and the eye level of its location is great on the dashboard. Wish I had this sooner!

I am writing this entry after just receiving notice that the author of this book, J.D. Salinger, has just passed away at 91. I am living proof, although I am sure no alone on this account , that the teenage angst that preppie Holden Caulfield, the narrator of “Catcher In The Rye”, was caught up in his immediate post-World War II generation was contagious all the way down at the bottom of society to housing project kids like me later on. Needless to say this high school assigned-reading was one of those books that I devoured at one sitting, if I recall correctly. But here is a better perspective on the book. Some books you read once and move on. Others you read, re-read and live out, including on a trip to New York a stay at the old Taft Hotel. How is that for having a more than a literary effect on the reader. Only Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” had more. So long, J.D.

I have gone through about 5 vacuums in the past 7 years. I have a combo of hard wood floors, tile, and carpet and rugs. I was nicely suprised that it had so much sucking power! Low pile rugs are a problem with this vacuum because it just sucks the rug up. Great on carpets and high pile rugs though. Not good on hard surfaced floors. As I was vacuuming the hard floors debris start to fly under the vacuum and hit me in the leg…ouch! I even adjusted the floor setting to bare floors and in between to see if it would help…nope. Using the attachments work better for sucking up things on the hard floors. Cord is a bit short and the vacuum in heavy. The main hose is a bit tough and doesn’t reach to far without the vacuum falling over. So far, I like the vacuum for the carpets but not for the hard floors. I have mixed reviews about this one…not completely happy but not completely dissapointed. If I were to give hoover advice I would say make the cord longer, the vacuum less heavy, the hose more flexible, and make it better on hard floors. I would give hoover kudos on the price and the suction power that it has. If you ONLY have carpet and high pile rugs I would highly suggest this vacuum!

Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger is a story that can make anyone smile. The main character, Holden Caulfied, is a troubled teen that is yet again, expelled from another haughty boarding school. Holden cannot find the motivation to succeed in school because he feels he does not have a purpose. Why apply yourself if you don’t know your place in life? Holden struggles with his inner-self, battling his own mind, and trying to understand his purpose in life as a teenage boy. Holden’s difficulty in comprehending his place in the world as a young boy is what makes this story unviversally relatable.

After Holden is asked to leave Pencey High School after winter break [expelled], Holden ditches school early to take a little “vacation” to New York City; he packs and leaves by train in the hopes of enjoying himself before returning home to his parent’s wrath. In the few days he spends in New York , he experiences the city’s nightlife through strippers, bars, and night clubs. In contrast, he also spends his free time by revisiting his childhood, reuniting himself with old friends and visiting sentimental places. Holden seems to have a lot of friends, although it is obvious he is not confident about friendships. Holden degradingly numbers off girls throughout the story and therefore his character becomes bothersome. However most of the time it is very easy to sympathize for Holden as he is in deep distress, and he feels that he is surrounded by a bunch of “phonies”. No matter who he associates himself with, whether it is an old friend or a stripper, he feels out of place. The more Holden observes and aquaints himself with humankind in New York City, the more he realizes he is different, and the more he feel like he is without purpose. His inner-struggles and battling of the mind eventually peaks causing for a catchy ending. However, the author does not fill the ending with detail and it can be very frusterating.

Over all, this book was easy to relate to, it was funny, and i

I bought this scale because of the positive reviews of the product and the company. I was not disappointed. The scale was affordable and attractive. I get consistent readings when I step on and off. The scale turns on when I step on it. There is no need to “tap.” I am pleased with the product and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bathroom scale that is accurate and economical.

I “rescued” a HUGE lab mix (notorious for massive shedding issues) when my friend lost his house in a short sale. I agreed to hold the dog for 30 days. A year later and my friend still didn’t have a place for him, and I didn’t really have room for him in my house or my life. I tried to integrate him into another family, and did so at a VERY slow and gentle pace. But on his first over-nighter he wigged out, and tried to let himself out (behavior he never exhibited before) to make his way back to me.

I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I have to keep the dog, but I just couldn’t get past the fur – EVERYWHERE – including my eyes, nose, mouth, and food. When relaying this to a friend, she told me they’d tried several undercoat brushes/rakes over the years, and then got this as a gift. They said they used their best, similar product first, and then brushed again with The Furminator. She said she was floored by the results. I immediately got online and found an INCREDIBLE deal on Amazon (not available at the time of this writing).

Time is my most precious commodity, and I don’t have ANY to spare. I’ve had the product about 2-3 weeks. In the first week I brushed him for 10-15 minutes each day. I was floored, too. Now I brush him 5-10 minutes about 3x a week, and I’m still pulling out handfuls of dead, trapped undercoat, but less and less as time goes by. I know I’ll never be fur-free, but I’d brush him for 20 minutes twice a day to get these results! The dog looks like he lost 5 pounds, and I keep having to make his collar a little tighter (that’s where he’s really thick and has way too much skin). He hates the heat, we’re in Florida, and since using The Furminator, he tolerates the heat better, for a bit longer.

As for the negative reviews I’ve read? I’d have to guess that people are applying too much pressure. It is kind of hard to fight the urge when you see how quickly the fur accumulates on it (consider the ejector model?), and how you can keep brushing t

I purchased the Hoover Tempo after quite a bit of research. I wanted a reasonably priced vacuum that would perform reliably. That is exactly what I’ve found in this vacuum.

Its not a bells and whistle vacuum but it gets the job done. The instructions are a bit lacking but putting it together took maybe 5 minutes. The suction is very strong, although its still almost brand new so its hard to say how it will operate in a year’s time. The carpet feels softer and fluffier after I’ve vacuumed and it doesn’t seem to shoot dust back into the air like some vacuums I’ve had. It’s noise isn’t exactly quiet but you can still have a conversation while you are using it if you need to.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the vacuum I received for the money.
