Bought this as a replacement for one that had been given as a gift. The little teeth on the 1st one ultimately started to fall off, so these won’t last FOREVER, but they really do a great job. This works differently from other brushes and is better. We have an English Golden Retriever who sheds a lot. The first few times I used this, it generated a lot of hair. Then with continuous follow up (like once a week), less hair came off. It really makes the dog look great, too. Best of all, there seemed to be less of his hair all over the house. Make sure to brush outside because of all the hair it removes.
Deceptions of the Heart

It does what is advertised, but with a few shortcomings:

Battery life is not that good.
The package only includes a usb cable for charging, which means it is tied to a computer unless you spend $20 more on another AC charger.

Otherwise it is ok and does what it advertises.

Heart s Desire

The point is, you get what you pay for. Your standerd Three wire set up will work just as good. If you want real quality you will have to pay for it. I went with a Monster Cable.

You won’t be able to find a better fun package for the same price. This is from the perfect birthday gift, to the perfect exercise partner. It is a good investement for fun as it is for cardio fitness, just choose the right game!

This product works really well. It doesn’t hurt the animal at all, it just takes the undercoat of the hair off the dog before they shed it. They need to make one like it for cats. I don’t have top sweep as often everyday now to pick-up the hair left from my dog and I notice less left in his bedding and my vehicle. The Product is great and easy to use.
I Heart TV Your

I bought my first Forerunner 305 last summer before I left for a vacation, so I could track my distance on unfamiliar trails. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with many of the features of this little gem, even though I’m still learning about some of the features I think the unit works great. The heart monitor strap is comfortable, so it’s easy to monitor my heart rate on my runs, and forget that I’m wearing the monitor.

Garmin provides excellent customer support. If you are having problems with your GPS, they will do everything they can to help you over the telephone.

The only drawback that I’ve found is that speaker volume eventually started to decline, so I could not hear the alerts. It seemed to happen over night. I run with a large running group as a pacer, and had no problem hearing the alerts. Then, I ran the San Francisco Marathon in July, and couldn’t hear any of the alerts. Since I run 6-1 intervals, this was a little troubling. The only good side to this is that since I couldn’t hear the alerts, I probably ran further between each walk break and ended the race with a PR. The next week with my running group, I was also having trouble hearing the alerts, but I could hear the alerts from a similar unit on another runner 50 feet away from us.

Around the same time that the volume decreased, I misplaced my heart rate monitor. After I reviewed the cost of fixing the GPS ($80) and buying a new monitor ($40), I decided to buy a new unit ($145) and sell my old one to a friend for $25. Another friend has had the same unit for almost 2 years. The speakers on his unit don’t work at all. He also runs intervals, so the alerts are important.

For those who are running on a well marked trail, and not doing intervals, the speakers should not be an issue. However, for those of us who do run intervals and rely on the alerts, the unit feels like it has a built in obsolescence. Even with these concerns, I didn’t hesitate to buy a new one!

Where the heart listens

I purchased a pair of these cards back in July 2009 for my Sony PMW-EX1, full-size HD Camera. I used them with an MxR Adapter and they worked wonderfully for recording hours upon hours of documentary footage. At the end April this year Digital SLR Cameras were becoming quite affordable and versatile. I purchased a Canon T2i and two more of the Transcend 16gb Class 6 cards. I was on my way to the Middle East to record a graduation and would eventually visit London.

Using the Canon T2i indoors was fine, it would of course overheat if used constantly for over 40 minutes. I shot outside one day and let the camera rest every once and awhile. It was hot out. When I finally finished shooting my camera turned off by itself. I learned the memory card had fried.

I returned back to the states and brought it to professional specialists who were unable to read the card, even through using a linux machine. I continued using my remaining cards to shoot, but began seeing overheating warnings after 30 minutes of shooting, mostly indoors.

Today I was testing out my cards and one of them would report an error after recording 2 minutes on my Sony PMW-EX1. I have a feeling these cards have low life-span and with the combination of heat and new technology, you may end up losing thousands of memories in a FLASH. Pun intended.

I would recommend spending more to save your data and back up CONSTANTLY.
Teaching from the Heart

When I recently became separated, everyone told me to file for divorce and cut him loose. Even the people from my church said that I deserved better. In my pain, I ordered a bunch of books to help me cope. Just when I was ready to give up on my marriage, I got Broken Heart on Hold. I realized that when you truly make a commitment in your marriage, you have to honor it even when it looks like all hope is lost.

In this book, LInda gives the reader hope and comfort to be able to trust God in your walk through separation. The worldly way may be to give up and try to end the pain, which we all know takes time. God’s way is to trust Him, pray for your spouse, and let His healing redemptive time work through each of you. Many of us think that it is the other person who needs to be changed, but this book takes us to a higher level for ourselves, which allows us to interact in our conversations with our spouse as a new person.

Whenever I feel impatient, desparate, sad, or lonely, I read this book.
Broken Heart on Hold

With a 5 pound weight it’s usually off .5-1 pound. While weighing myself I usually get varying results. Aesthetically it’s pleasing, though it does get dirty fairly easily.

All in all, you could do worse.
