Bought this from Amazon
If I take 4 walks per day and wish to know the total for each walk, how do I set the distance back to zero at the beginning of each walk w/0 doing a complete reset?
If I understand the note at top of page 19′ it resets the display to 0 at 12:00 am automatically which is not what I want. I want to be able to see each walk distance.

Speedy Bike Chain

I bought this SD card in July for my new Sony NEX-5 camera. On the positive side, the card is very cheap, has a huge capacity that will last you for any extended trips and transfer speeds to my PC seem to be on par with a Sandisk Extreme class 10, I purchased subsequently.
On the negative side, I lost about 1,400 pictures from my recent trip to Punta Cana. I was recording a video on the way back and just when i pressed stop, a message comes up saying “Recording” and in that instant the battery died. So when we got home and I put the SD card in the PC, I got a message that the drive is corrupt and I couldn’t access any of the pictures. I was fuming, needless to say. So, I thought that maybe the fact that the battery died while I was recording that last video clip caused the card to fail. So, I formatted the card and decided not to shoot any video with low battery going forward. The next week, there was an official visit from my country’s prime minister. So, my wife and I went to the event. I video recorded his whole speech, and was I able to get a picture taken of my wife and I with the prime minister. We were so excited, it’s a once in a life-time opportunity, to have you picture taken next to the prime-minister. So, we go home all excited, put the SD card in the PC and guess what, “Reading error, file system corrupt” or something of that sort. We were so frustrated…I literally wanted to take a hammer and smash that card into a million pieces.
I would also not recommend this card if you are using it for 1080 video. My camera records at 17Mbps. When I first got the card, I took it to a concert and recorded many video clips. Many of the videos had the first 1-2 seconds jerky, with distorted sound sometimes, as if the card cannot get up to speed quick enough to meet the demands of the recording speeds.
I now have the 32GB Sandisk Extreme Class 10 and videos are recording without any choppiness. I am very happy with it. It’s expensive but you get what you pay for.

Finish Line Super Bike

I used to have an old dial scale but calibrating it and squinting to see my weight became a pain. Digital scales are the way to go and with this EatSmart all you have to do is step on it and va voom – a back-lit display shows your weight.
Swagman XP 2 Bike

Easy to use and really sucks up the water. Problem is that the hose that feeds the water is crimped so not much water goes out unless I hit the surge button. If you suck too much without water the float will pop up and shut it off from the dry dirt that’s getting sucked up. SO I just use the surge a lot and it does the job.

The Hoover Tempo that we bought through Amazon was inexpensive, works great and arrived 5 days earlier than promised. Great value for the price.
Giro Stylus Bike Helmet

I was looking for a high quality bicycle helmet that my 2 year old daughter would actuallly want to wear. She loves this bicycle helmet! She loves the way it looks, and loves to wear it when she rides her bicycle. The adjustable dial makes it easy to get a comfortable fit, and also provides room to grow, so she can wear the helmet a couple of years before she outgrows it. Would highly recommend.
Giro Rodeo Youth Bike

My daughter just turned 6 and this bike is the perfect size for her. 18-inch bikes are pretty hard to find! It was easy to assemble. The parts were all in the box. I noticed a little damage to some of the paint, but it was not a big deal. The only thing I had a little trouble with was adjusting the brakes. It is a nice, sturdy bike. The purple color is really cool! My daughter is very happy with it!
Mongoose Lark Girls Bike

This product is a descent one. I bit difficult to install but do-able in 15 min. Completely waterproof. Fell into a puddle because it wasn’t clipped in right and came out just fine. Make sure to clip it in and pull on it, to make sure it is secured, or it might fall off. (like mine did). Also it only has 1 trip meater.(-)
