Several years ago I bought the Neat Desktop Scanner because of it's slick advertising. Liked the idea I could scan my receipts directly in NeatDesk software and then load the data into Quicken. Well, I worked with the NeatDesk for about two years, unsuccessfully I might add. Boxed it away expecting one day the company would come up with software AND hardware fixes. Then I would move it to my daughter's work. Never happened. Still sitting boxed and collecting dust. Then I went the Epson route. Much better results. Maybe a factor of 15 times better. Great scanner, but by now my own business needs demanded not only a scanner that worked, that the NeatDesk never delivered on, but more efficient than the Epson. Finally bit the bullet and bought the Fujitsu scanner AND their additional software. Never looked back. Fujitsu beats the Epson by a factor of two to three times and the Epson is a very good scanner. Beats the NeatDesk by miles and miles. Here is a case where spending double the money will get your 100 times the benefits: Go for it ... the Fujitsu line of scanners I mean.

Here we have a cool water pick type that works very well. This is the SmarToiletries Professional Cordless 3-Mode Rechargeable Waterproof Oral Irrigator / Water Flosser High Capacity Water Tank 4 Jet Tips from SmarToiletries. They call this an irrigator/water flosser but really is very similar to other brands like the water pick that I currently use. It comes with 4 tips so you can each have one to use in the family or after sometime you will want to change the tip out. It is recommended to replace the tip every 3-6 months for maximum results so you have 4 to go through. The base itself is really cool and has plenty of room for water and nice to hold and carry. It comes with a wall charger that has an usb adapter too. The water flosser has many settings including normal soft and pulse. It has an on/off push button as well as a mode button which changes it from soft to pulse to normal etc. So what I am saying is it is simple to operate. They recommend you charge it fully for 24 hours when using for the first time. I used it before just to try it out but now am charging it fully as we speak. It was about half charged when I received it. I do not see how long it will last until completely dead and needing a recharge but with other water flossers I have used, I get many days out of it as you only need to use this flosser for 2-5 minutes at a time or so. But you could charge while using if you really wanted too. So far I am liking this professional 3 mode cordless water flosser.

Dispite what a few people seem to be saying this album ROCKS. I had trouble falling asleep after finishing the record because the tunes would not leave my head. From the opening and highlight track, Diamond Heart, to the beautiful stinging Angel Down, Joanne is Gaga's most complete effort yet. If you aren't already Mother Monster's biggest fan, this album will win you over and have you Come to Mama!

When Julia Padden comes into contact with her surly neighbour Cain Maddox, she cannot understand what his problem is, and when she catches him taking her newspaper, she is determined to teach him a lesson. Working full-time, playing piano for the choir, and volunteering with kids, means that Julia is always busy, but in order to get the job of her dreams, she must also start a blog for the month of December that will attract as many followers as possible. And that is when a unique idea occurs. What if she killed her grumpy neighbour with kindness for the next twelve days of Christmas, and document it on the blog? What harm could it cause? But as Julia soon learns, looks can be deceptive, and sometimes you find what you need when you least expect it.

I am extremely happy with Word 2010. I was a bit angered at Microsoft that office is not included in Windows 7 Professional.
