Upon the notice of the authors death, realized I had never read it. Interesting book……..

I had a chance to use one of these that a relative purchased at a vetinarian clinic for $45 and I was amazed at the impressive job it did.. I found one on line, but it was only $9.95. I was sceptical that it was as good a product as the $45 one, but it is the same brand and NOT a knock-off. It is even larger than the small-dog $45 one, as I ordered the large-dog style. WELL worth the money and shipping cost. Less than $15 and I’m very happy.

This is an excellent product. Connects easily to a tv and setup is fast. Definitely opt to get a second controller. Along with the amusement of playing video games, this unit works flawlessly with Netflix. Great activity for parties and social events.

How easily people get the wool pulled over their eyes! This man is not God and so much of what he says goes completely against the Bible. I know people like to do what ever feels good to them and Walsch says that is ok. In reality, that is not the Truth. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and life. No one can come to the Father excecpt through me.” John 14:6. If you want to talk to God, read the Bible, Pray and know that Jesus died for you. Do not be mislead! God wants you to find him.

I didn’t know much about the brand and was very reluctant to buy, but for the price and size of the card you really can’t go wrong. I’ve always had good experience with SanDisk but couldn’t justify paying double for the same type of card. I can’t say that the Transcend is any better or worse than the equivalent SanDisk, but as far as taking pictures and video I have no complaints. The videos look sharp and clean with no lag. Pictures load fast and look great. I definitely would consider Transcend more in the future.

Wald 114 Compact Quick

Bottom line – I would recommend this bag. I got it to hold my wallet, keys, phone, and other small items and it works great in that respect. I only have two minor annoyances that could be improved upon, installation and the “quick release”.

I encountered the same problem as another reviewer regarding the fit on the handlebars. Even after using the tightest spacer ring, it was too big for my handlebars. One thing I noticed was that there seemed to be a notch where you could clamp your cables inside the mount as part of the installation. I wasn’t sure if this was what I should do – the instructions didn’t mention anything regarding cables. However as the fit was too loose anyway, I took a chance and inserted one shifter cable into the notched on each side of the mount. After doing this the fit was nice and snug. I still don’t know if I did the right thing, but all seems well so far. I think Topeak should clarify the instructions regarding using the notch for hold down your cables, or give better spacer rings to fit a wider variety of handlebars.

The other annoyance is regarding the “quick release”. It’s anything but quick. I have a Topeak trunk-bag bike rack which uses the slide mount and it’s great and easy to use. I had hoped the handlebar bag would be also be easy to detach. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I find it very difficult to release. It’s hard to get leverage and it’s a tight space to insert fingers to push the release tab and also lift up on the bag at the same time. Again, I might be missing some key technique that’s obvious to others, but as it stands I’ll probably leave the bag attached more often than I remove it.

Now with those complaints out of the way, I do like the bag. It seems solidly built, and it’s great having your phone where it’s easy to reach vs. in a trunk bag.

My Garmin 265WT portable GPS unit arrived last month. Included with it was the window-shield suction mount. I tried it and it worked OK. It was a stable mount, but somewhat of a security pain-in-the-neck. Since security is an issue nowadays with portable GPS units, I had to remove the suction mount from the windwhield in order to hide it away each time I exited my car. Then, I had to re-attach it to the windshield again upon re-entering. I subsequently searched the Internet for alternative mounting devices. Nearly every user product review recommended the portable friction mount because of its ease of use and stability. I purchased one, and have been using it ever since. It has great stability due to its lockable “bean-bag” base, and I am able to install/uninstall it in seconds. It definitely is the way to go.

This is a compact and stable tripod for the compact dslr user. I have used this tripod with my 70-300mm IS lens on my Canon XTI and am more then happy with it. Yes there are more professsional tripods from this company that offer more stability, but at a cost of increased weight. I use this tripod for outdoor work and when carrying my complete kit, weight is an issue, so this is a great tripod for me and the use I intended for it.
