Gets 1080p when connecting my PS3 to my new 55″ LG LED TV. Going to get 2 more sets to connect my new LG Blu-Ray home theater system and my new Comcast HD box (They only provide composite cables for free). For $2.39 each, what’s the big risk?

I listened to the audio version of this book. The subject matter of racial prejudice is difficult to listen to but the characters that were created were very easy to connect to. The story line was very interesting. I looked forward to listening to each CD. I would recommend this book to any of my girlfriends. I’m not so sure the men in my life would enjoy it as much as I did.

Everyone loves this game from young children to older adults. Its a great group activity that lasts and lasts.

This digital scale is exactly what I’ve been looking for; it works fine, it looks great, it’s durable and the price is right. Even the batteries are AAA (not some weird size or type that’s hard to find!)

These training wheels were just what I was looking for for my granddaughter’s 16″ bike. Easy to install and adjust the height, and very sturdy.
Wald Training Wheels 742
Yes, I read the entire series. No, I didn’t think that it was an excellent example of literature. But it was worth it to read the ridiculous fourth book. I didn’t think that it could make my eyes tear up with laughter more.
But it was a train wreck that I couldn’t take my eyes off the page to see what next retarded thing was going to happen in the plot. It was a bonding experience with my sister – we would read the books and then call each other laughing. Then we would wait a couple of weeks after the two movies came out (out of respect of the fans we waited) and sit in the theater and laugh and laugh.
But that aside – I have a serious beef with this author. She claims that she has never seen or read anything with vampires. I beg to differ – she steals from a number of places. Let’s take a look.
1. True Blood’s Sookie can read minds but she can’t read vampires – a total relief to her. With a twist, Edward can read minds but not Bella’s! And Bella intrigues him just like Sookie was intrigued with vampires.
2. Interview with the Vampire’s Louie doesn’t want to kill humans because it makes him feel guilty and eats animals. The Cullens want to be “good” vampires and not kill humans so they eat animals.
3. True Blood’s Sookie is first dating a vampire in the series. But she gets hurt by him and leaves him. Who does she date next? Wait for it….a Wereworf! See anything similar here? And wait….then eventually Sookie goes back to vampires! *gasp*
4. Buffy’s Angel is a brooding vampire with a conscience that doesn’t want to harm anyone and make up for his sins. Angel refuses to be happy when he is with Buffy – he’ll hurt her! Edward is the spitting image of Angel – except with all that sparkling in the sun instead of the self immolation.
I could go on with the simliarities but then it would be tldr;
Bottom line – I hate when authors say they didn’t rip off some ideas from somewhere else. For god’s sake, almost every author does to a certain degree f

This is a wonderful device. Sturdy and reliable. Have not used any other brand but could not be more satisfied with this one.

I read the saga because my friends suggested it to me, and I will say that I do like the Twilight books, but I am not overly obsessed with them. I think all together the characters are well developed, but Bella is one character that is harder to understand. I also agree with many others who say that the book has a lot of unnecessary parts of the story in it, but is lacking in some scenes that I would have loved to read. I think if you are looking for a easy read then you have found the perfect book for you. This may be a personal preference but I also have a hard time following books in a first person point of view, but the book did keep my interest and I would read them again.
I do wish though that Stephanie would elaborate more on Carlisle and Esme’s relationship. These are two characters, besides Alice, that I found interesting and captured my attention. I mean seriously Carlisle is three-hundred and something years old, he must have some type of story to tell. I would love to read about how he and Esme fell in love with each other and their years and struggles as a couple. If Stephanie would write a book about them I would defiantly take the time to read it.
All in all I think the books are a good read for the feel of fiction and fantasy. They are easy to read and a very great page turner. You may be on the edge of your seat for most of the book if you get can get past some of the whining.

Looks just as good as the feed my brother gets from his $100 monster cable best buy somehow talked him into buying. I buy a few of these at a time and give them to friends so they dont spend $25+ on HDMI cables.
Ew. This is perhaps the largest WASTE of money I have ever seen. The graphics are crap, the contols are crap, and the games are crap. Birthday Party Games exclusive to Wii! Carnival Games exclusive to Wii!!!! Any respectable video gamer should never even THINK about buying this piece of crap. The only good game I have played on it is Metroid Prime 3, and if that game never came about, I would be giving this system 1 star. The graphics are an absolute DISGRACE. This thing was released 2 YEARS after Xbox 360 (great graphics), and the Miis (kind of like Xbox Avatars) don’t even have arms or legs!!! WiiSports is ridiculously wrong, seeing as in baseball the mii does not even run to 1st base until the ball is either caught or hit out of reach. Next gen console?! THATS BS!!!! The only thing that makes it anything like a nextgen console is the menu, which is wortless anyway. To be fully convinced, play the game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the Xbox 360 or PS3 and then play it on the Wii and you’ll see what I mean. They had to make 2 different versions of the game because the Wii has practically no processing power. Another game issued by the same company, LucasArts, called Fracture was released only on Xbox and PS3. Someone on the internet asked why and a LucasArts official said Wii doesn’t have the processing power. That’s an absolute load of crap. Wii was released 2 YEARS after Xbox!!! Oh my god, what is wrong with you Nintendo?!!!! There is no multiplayer service, and I know some Wii fanboy is gonna come arguing to me that “You can connect your wii to Wi-Fi”, but that is no multiplayer. The only game I’ve come across that has ANY ABILITY WHATSOEVER to play people online is freaking MARIO KART!!!! The controls are absolute garbage. Theres only 1 joystick!!!! What?!!! Just about every gaming system I’ve ever PLAYED has 2. And the motions idea is stupid. They are waaaayyyy too sensitve. Wii MotionPlus only makes it worse. Do not buy this. They’re gonna charge you[...]
