First, the vacuum arrived early which really surprised me, especially since the shipping was free. The box was dented but the product wasn’t damaged that I can tell.

I assembled it easily enough, but I can’t figure out what to do with the cord. Right now it is both in front of and behind the hose. The diagram in the manual was no help at all. If someone can tell me where it should be placed, I would appreciate it.

Other than these issues, the vacuum worked like a dream. It really picked up the dirt and cat hair, and from the amount it picked up, my old vacuum hasn’t been doing a very good job lately. If it continues to work this well, I will very happy with my purchase.

Many people told me that this was one of the best books they had read in a long time. I purchased it as a gift for a family member who wholeheartedly agreed with that advice and loaned it back to me to read. Great book!
Building a World Community

I’m wondering why I’m bothering, after 4800 reviews… But here it goes: This book is worth reading, especially if you are a girl or just interested in what kept publishing going after the last Harry Potter book shut off that money-gusher. Is the writing good? Definitely not. Is the story good? Yes, flawed, but powerful for a romantic soul. This is your classic “good girl does not know she is a babe” story. Mixed with “the real bad scary guy is really a good guy” story. And finally, a “good girl gets herself in trouble like a moron and the bad guy has to sparkle (dammit, I was NOT going to say that word) I mean save her” story.

Probably, unlike most people, what bugged me the most was the pack of extra indistinguishable characters, particularly at the end. I mean, did we really need about 5 of those vampires? Were they all there just so you would have enough to play baseball? Is that a good enough reason to clog your book with pointless people? This book would have been much better served with about 4 vampires, max.

Okay, so you read about how this thing really can suck… well, I’m here to say that it will suck the rug off the floor and right up into the agitator! What a vacuum!

Love this scale. Accurate everytime.
I had been using one of the cheap analog (imported) scale which was iaccurate and very hard to calibrate.
This is one amazing scale. Very easy to use and calibrate. Nice backlit large display.
Highly recommended !!!

This memory card handles HD video from my Panasonic Lumix camera. The quality is great, and it is fast enough for the videos.

Have only had a short time, but so far, this has been a great vacuum. Only wish the cord was longer.

This was perfect for my 5 to 7 month old. After that he didn’t seem to really care much.

In 1886 New York City, the tenement fire killed Ma and Da Gallagher, leaving their three offspring orphaned. The oldest eight year old Maelle has no time for grief as she watches adults split the trio into different families. She gives the new parents of baby Molly the family bible; and she gives her brother Mattie the family photo. She vows to them to one day find them even as everyone calls her Mike as her short haircut leaves her looking like a boy.

In 1902 Louisiana, traveling photographer Mike Watts continues her search for Mattie and Molly. Mattie has spent a lifetime being discarded by one family after another as he currently lives in Texas. Teenaged Molly was too young to remember the fire, her siblings, her biological parents, or even her birth name as the only family Isabelle as she is called ever had was the Standlers of Kansas City and they just died; but her older Standler brother scornfully informs her who she truly is.

Although the plot device of having siblings separated via the orphan trains with one eventually seeking the others has been used a lot, Kim Vogel Sawyer refreshes it in MY HEART REMEMBERS by rotating the story line between the three lead characters. Thus the audience obtains a deep look at what happened to the trio a decade and a half after the fire radically changed each of their lives. Historical fiction fans will appreciate the saga of the three Gallaghers.
