I’m well aware that I’m not the target audience for this book. But after repeated requests by friends to give it a shot, I acquiesced. I wish I could say this was something other than a YA romance novel with pretty vampires, but then I’d be lying to you. Filled with 100’s of pages of teenage angst, (The back and forth between Edward and Bella in a scene that takes place in a diner is particularly insipid. He’s how old?) Occasionally interspersed with Meyer’s own peculiar additions to vampire mythology, (They sparkle in sunlight, they like baseball?) this novel safely defangs one of horrors truly evil creatures and transforms them into superheroes with “life” issues. Yes, there are bad vampires too, but I’m sure they’ll be vanquished at some point as this book has as much tension as overcooked pasta. I am assured that the next two books improve the series significantly, but to be honest I’ll never find out as getting through this one was painful enough.

This card failed on first full use – the first day of my holiday – and again on subsequent uses in a camera compatible with 16G SDHC cards. I was able to download the photos that had been taken up until the point at which the error occurred.

Errors were at multiple points on the card – 6.2G initially then after a reformat at 9.4G. This time removing and replacing the card and camera battery revived the card, but it failed again at 9.4G and stayed dead. Again though I could retrieve the photos using a card reader.

The card did compare well to a Sandisk 4G Class 6 SDHC card on speed testing – both took 42 shots in 40s on a Canon Powershot G11.

Back to Sandisk. I guess the reliability of the Sandisk cards justifies the extra cost.

I have a Wii Fit Plus and wanted the same for my older brother. Since he did not have the console yet, I had to find it first. I knew he would never buy one for himself, but he has loved it! His birthday is Feb. 15 and it took almost a month to find it in stock and at the right price.
