Violin Solos and Duets

Although they haven’t changed the model number it appears the device currently shipping no longer has a reset button on the front. That button would reset the device to zero for today, like if you wanted to measure a particular hike.

If you look at the product picture that Amazon has, that is a correct representation. However, if you look at the user pictures, or google for a manual you see that previously the product had four buttons on the front, one of which was that reset button.

I’m guessing some people were pressing that button by mistake and losing part of their day’s activities so Omron decided to remove it. That’s fine, except now if you want to reset the display to zero you have to stick a pin in the reset hole on the back, and then enter all your data again…time, stride length, weight.

Does this matter. To me it’s a pain in the neck, but to most of the people who use the device it may be just fine since what they really want is to measure their total activity for each day, not a particular walk.

(Of course for a single walk, you just look at the display before you leave and subtract that reading when you are done.)

Seems like Omron could have designed a different reset button that was harder to press by accident instead of eliminating it entirely.

Whatever, it’s not a huge deal, I just thought people should be aware of this.

Aside from that the device seems fine, and that is covered by lots of other reviews, so I won’t repeat them. I just gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of my own needs. I also think they should have changed the model number when they removed that button.
Violin Concerto No 2

I received this kindle last Christmas from my grandfather and it is by far the best gift I think I have ever received.I love how you can get almost every book online and its actually a reasonable price and if the publisher hasn’t made a kindle version yet but there is a PDF version floating around online then its simple enough to purchase the software that will convert it for you. Whats better is, being a college student I have a lot of text books to carry around, well since most text books come with a CD version it was simple enough to convert it from PDF onto the kindle. SOOOOOO MUCH EASIER and convenient!

I will admit though that last month my kindle was bumped and got an odd horizontal line across the screen that just wouldnt go away. After finding out that its a fairly common defect I contacted Amazon. Within 10 minutes I received a call from them and everything was squared away, the sent me a new kindle (arrived 2 days after the call) and were deeply apologetic about the inconvenience. This product is WONDERFUL!! GREAT FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS!
Heritage Go Violin Case

First, it arrived early, in good shape.

I found this game console very interesting, and a lot of fun. It came with the “Wii Sports” game. I highly recommend to make sure this game comes with it if you purchase a game console. The sports game by itself sell’s for around $50.00, So getting it makes this package a fare deal.

It gets used everyday, keeps a record of what you’ve done and estimates your age “according” to your performance at a random collection of activity’s that it picks out for you to do. Get a few people together and it can really be a lot of fun. Some of my friends have bought one since they played ours.

It has everything built in to connect to your wireless internet. It found it and connected without any problems, very easy, and nothing extra to buy. Has it’s own weather and news channels (and of course shopping channel). Now we send e-mail and pictures to our friends and family using the Wii. And it show’s up on their Wii.
One thing, you can only play certain games on the internet against others, and there aren’t that many of them yet.. That’s about the only little negative thing I can think of… and I’m sure there will be more “internet play” games coming out.
I recommend this game, for everyone, children and adults. It’s an active game, not just pushing buttons.
PALATINO ALLEGRO VIOLIN OUTFIT

Under $3 and free shipping. Easily the best value ever. I have 3 HDTVs with Dish Network DVRs hooked up with these very same HDMI cables, and the picture is stunning on all. Also have 2 PS3’s hooked up with these cables, and again the picture is flawless. Don’t fall for the overpriced cable hype. These are solid, well constructed, and deliver top quality signals.

This is the first book I’ve felt compelled to write a review about- it was so good. An honest and hopeful book that made me want to pick it up every chance I got. Great read. Love that it’s the author’s first novel too. Congratulations to Kathryn Stockett.
Thomastik Precision Violin Set

Really, an amazing device, as expected. No complaints or faults with the newest 32 gb (3rd Generation) Ipod Touch, other than the back of the Ipod seems to scratch very easily. When brand new the shiny silver back is very appealing to the eye. But, after a few months of use you will quickly notice, even with a protective cover, which I have, it will scratch and smudge very very easily. This is not true for the screen though, the screen is very scratch resistant. I had my old Ipod Touch since it’s release, until a month ago when I bought the newer Ipod Touch, and it did not have any scratches on the screen after years of use. So these are tough devices and I would and do recommend them to anyone who wants to add a little technological side to their lives. Some people don’t like touch screens, but with this Ipod, how could you not? 5 out of 5. This Ipod is simply amazing. The 3rd Generation is truly the best ipod/music player out there on the market. It is very responsive, quick, and the ipod is so quick it actually seems to know (obviously it doesn’t but) what your next finger swipe is going to be and already has it planned out before you make the action. Endless amounts of applications you can download on the Apps store and can be seamlessly downloaded directly from your Ipod, onto your Ipod. 32 gb is a lot of music, I have nearly 2300 songs and it’s not yet half full.

This vacuum was quite a surprise-I was looking at a more expensive canister vacuum but could not afford it. This vacuum has great power and does most of what I need it to do. The instructions to put the vacuum together leave much to the imagination-but I finally figured it out. The only thing I would change is the hose. It’s not long enough to reach very far with the tools. They do offer a longer hose and I would suggest getting it. All in all, I have been very happy with my purchase.
