Having been an Honors English student in high school, lo, those many years ago, this was on our recommended reading list. I didn’t like Holden Caulfield then. Now, the father of a daughter approaching her teenage years, I like him even less.

I reread the book recently, and the question is the same now as was it twenty five years ago: “This is classic literature?”

While relatively well written, this story has been done to death since time immemorial. And, frankly, promulgates the self absorbed teenage stereotype.

Holden Caulfield is NOT a stereotypical teenager.

Holden Caulfield IS a hypocrite. He IS a narcissist. He IS paranoid. He IS a cynic without the true experience in life to jade him. In short, he is a poseur desparately seeking some self importance to which he is far from entitled.

Although certainly alienated, and just as certainly an intelligent underachiever, he is, at root, a spoiled brat in dire need of having his backside tanned.

While there may be some merit to the idea that there are no bad children, only bad parents, young Master Caulfield bears the greatest responsibility for his situation. His willfully shallow character prevents him from seeing anyone or anything outside himself.

No, this is not “classic literature”. It is not even an accurate portrayal of teenage angst and alienation. It is the story of a puling spoiled rich kid who doesn’t get life his way.

Well, welcome to the world, Young Man, because that’s just the way things are.

Coiled Power Hot Sync

This product absolutely works. I have two full sized GSD’s and it has done everything it has claimed it does. The only problem is you should use this outside, or on a plastic mat for easy pickup. While it does remove a TON of hair, it doesnt hold onto it like other brushes do. It instead moves all loose fur to the tail end of your dog. Make sure you use this product in an easy place to dispose of the hair simply because it removes so much.

A friend of mine has a scale that measures body fat and a whole load of other crap. To use his scale, however, you have to take off your shoes, hold down a settings button, and enter your height. A real pain in the butt. The EatSmart scale, however, only requires that you tap on it once, then step on. Its readings are super accurate, and I couldn’t imagine why anyone would want anything more in a bathroom scale.

The 3 things you need to check to be sure this will fit your device are 1) the physical size, 2) storage size, 3) class/speed.

Size: there are regular sized chips and “micro” sized chips. This is a regular size, NOT a micro, so if you need a micro size, pass on this. This is about the size of a stamp and the thickness of a quarter, physically, with what looks like a corner cut off.

Storage size: The 8 Gig size is the most my device will handle, so check your device. Smaller will work, but more will be wasted. This gave me over 24 hours of recording time at a high quality recording speed.

Class: The flash chip here is a class 6 (which means it functions at a higher speed [not sure if it's double, just that it's faster overall] than a class 4, which in turn is faster than a class 2).

The “HC” means high capacity, as opposed to earlier models which should be labelled just “SD” without the HC.

I have just reached its full capacity and will be getting another one. You can wipe or delete parts of what you’ve stored, as with all memory devices, but I’d like to have another blank backup disc. No complaints about this one. I’ve had it for a little over a year.
