I’ve had scales, but this one is amazing. You step on it and within seconds, it will weigh you. The numbers are consistent so if you are trying to lose some weight, this will work wonderfully. You don’t always lose a whole pound in a day, so something that gives you the weight into the decimals is what you need!

It’s very durable too. I accidentally dropped a very heavy pot lid on it. It made a loud sound, but when I looked down, the scale and lid were both fine.

The scale is very stylish too. I keep it on my kitchen floor but it doesn’t stand out and it’s so low on the floor that it’s easy to step over. Very unlike my other scale that had the huge round gage on the top that everyone kept tripping over!

Oh the best part – it weighs the person quickly, so I can weigh my toddler before he gets restless and runs off!

I love this scale and would recommend it to anyone looking for accuracy.

Water for Elephants is an interesting text because it is not especially well written, the story is pure soap opera, and yet it is an enjoyable read that at times evokes a long gone era. I think it suffers from overly effusive praise and so many readers are bitterly disappointed once they get through it.
First, let’s look at the strengths of the novel. I enjoyed the evocations of circus and train life. Gruen clearly spent some time working on these descriptions of circus life and there are little Depression era details that were nice historical jewels for the reader to mine. Also effective was her characterization of old Jacob. His voice was witty and biting and he provided the most pleasure of any character in the text. Chapter nineteen of the novel is the saddest depiction of rest home life I have read in literature. A man is forgotten by his family, and the scene is heartbreaking.
Now to examine the reasons why this book is unsatisfying. First off the characters from the 1930s parts of the novel are some of the weakest characterizations I have seen in a book in a long time. They are stock characters at best, and the villains are the mustache twirling men from melodrama. It is hard to care about any of the characters because they are so transparently fake. Even more distracting then the weak characterization is the incredibly insipid (and modern sounding) dialogue Gruen puts in their mouths. She has such nice historical details in the setting of the text, why couldn’t she also use it in the dialogue?
Many readers have found the ending unsatisfying, and although it is ridiculous, it fits the novel so I won’t argue with it. The cloying depiction of animals is also a little beyond the pale, but again, I simply had to come to terms with the novel for what it is. It is popular fiction. It is a melodrama you will get caught up in. And for those purposes it is adequate. Don’t go into it expecting more than what it is capable of giving and you will be satisfied.

I love it! I guess that is the main thing that I have to say. I keep looking up the books that I have loved for the past 50 some years, I have always been a bookaholic, and everyday I find some more of them. I am really looking forward to more of my favorite authors being Kindled so that I can have them with me all the time. Usually whenever I travel my suitcase is loaded down with books, this is perfect, I can keep my Kindle right in my purse. Thank you Amazon, you have certainly enriched my life! I even crocheted a carrying case for it, wonderful!

My previous pedometer was finicky — wear it on the waist (as opposed to a flat pocket edge)and it would only register occasional steps. So it was a great relief to get this one, and find that it actually registered my activity! I can attach to waistband, pocket, cargo pant pocket, etc., and it is just FINE. (My dietician claims she has a client who attaches it to her bra and gets accurate readings.) It additionally gives me distance, calories used, and whether any of it was sufficiently sustained to be considered aerobic. Useful information for someone trying to develop healthier habits!
*I accidentally left the pedometer clipped to a cargo pant pocket and it went through the washing machine. When it got pulled out, I took off the back, removed the battery, and let it sit to air dry overnight, and it has been working well since then.

When Jacob Jankoswki learns of the death of both of his parents in an automobile accident, his grief renders him unable to sit for his final exams at Cornell Vet school and he hops the first train he sees out of town. Fate has intervened, however, and it turns out that the train belongs to a traveling circus, which ends up hiring him on as the show’s animal doctor. The year is 1931, jobs are scarce, and, as Jacob quickly discovers, Uncle Al, the show’s unforgiving ring master, and August rule the circus with an iron hand. Performers are treated well, but working men often go unpaid or worse, are “red lighted,” or thrown off the moving train in the dead of night. It is a brutal world, and Jacob walks its fine line between working men and performers. One day Jacob falls in love with Marlena, the show’s star attraction and the wife of homicidally paranoid schizophrenic August, and their worlds at the circus will never be the same.

This is an excellent and engrossing novel, told from the point of view of Jacob both in 1931 and today, with him at age 93 and in a nursing home, reflecting on past memories. Pull back the tent flap and step right in to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. You will yearn to be sitting in the circus train’s boxcar, curled up with a book by the light of a flickering kerosene lantern amidst the folds of big top canvas as you roll on through the night to the next town and the next big show.

I really wanted to like this unit, and was very excited to try it out, but it’s going back after two days.
I bought this as an upgrade/replacement for a heart rate monitor, because I train for triathlon and am running my first half marathon this spring. On my first run, it was very easy to set up, sync up, and find satellites, and it worked beautifully. Unfortunately, however, as it is winter and I also enjoy spinning classes and indoor interval work in my training, this unit is going back.
Though it has a heart rate monitor, this is only used for telling you a current heart rate. The GPS is necessary in order to calculate calories burned, despite having my age, heart rate, activity, weight, and gender, and so this does not function on indoor mode, or in a gym, or on a trainer or spin bike. As such, through an spin class and an hour of lifting weights, I burned no calories, but on the drive home, I quickly went through like 58.
It’s pretty useless for people who want to do anything other than walk, run, and bike outdoors in clear weather, away from buildings. If you are in that niche market, I imagine it’s great, but for me, it is already on its way back.

I’m just curious why there are many of you who believe God wrote the Holy Bible when it was clearly written by men such as Neale as well.

I believed the book to be extremely loving and has given a sense of peace within my life. God is loving and if he is loving I don’t believe he can be vengeful and wrathful as well. He or we created ourselves to experience life in all spectrum’s of life and although I also do not agree with some of the ideas, the premise makes logical and spiritual sense with me.
