Great product. I lost my old one and bought this one. It seems to work better: more accurate and locks into GPS faster.

I had begun the Twilight series by seeing the first movie entitled Twilight and not knowing much about the books, etc. I loved the movie and was drawn to the series. I borrowed all 4 books from a friend and literally read them in less than 2 weeks time. It kind of became an obsession. I loved the writing and since seeing the other two movies in comparison to the books, they don’t hold a candle to the storyline and detail in the books. Well worth reading. Best books I’ve ever read.

If anything, the witty tete-a-tete occasionally peppered with dry humor between the lovers is what makes this easy read quite worth it. Although it was unbearably slow the first half of the book. The chemistry is electrifying and the angst of true love is thoroughly felt in the dialogue. The chivalry is amazingly surreal (because in real life this almost never happens without a guy being over the top or pulling it off to an incredibly cheesy low note.) Other than that, this odd glimpse into another vampire realm is what sets this apart from the stereotype. It’s captivating.

Every girl wants an Edward Cullen after reading this book. =) *

Had the 305 for about 4 months…am very pleased with it. Menu system very easy to use…large display with a lot of selectable display configurations. Have not yet had any problems with GPS linking to satellites. Getting very consistent distance measurement results for routine courses…gives confidence when running the off-beat trails. The included charger/adapters (USB connection/AC connection/car adapter)…very convenient. Particularly pleased with the included software…good graphics…all detailed data available. The HR belt…easy to wear. The overall product is well designed…construction quality is very good. The receiver itself is perhaps a bit ‘bulky’ for the more serious runner…but not an issue for the ‘typical’ runner.

I’ve had my kindle for about a month now and love it. I live in a very small town in a river valley where we usually don’t get cell phone reception,and was worried about getting reception to download books. I was very surprised and greatly pleased to have my fears prove to be unfounded. It may take a minute or two longer than most areas since I usually only have 1-2 bars, but I have no trouble. I do advise anyone who likes to read at night to buy a light and if you plan to take it with you a lot to get a cover or sleeve for protection. This is a great device and well worth the money.

Wanting to save some money and not spend 40-80 bucks on a HDMI cable, I purchased this with high hopes. Unfortunately, I was disappointed when the signal to my TV would cut out randomly for 10 seconds at a time. This makes the movie/gaming experience something to be desired when you are missing dialogue or a good action scene. I tried troubleshooting the problem by changing the cable to a different HDMI port, but still no dice. Switching the cables out was the only thing that worked. So, in the end, I wound up having to spend the money on a more expensive cable regardless.

I suppose this reinforces the old adage: Buy quality; you will only cry once.

I received it very fast. It was the exact product at Target for half the price. Works, does all it should. Great product.

I purchased this book on CDs for my father because one of his doctors recommended he read it. He is 85 years old and absolutely loved it. When he was a young boy they had a lady who “helped” them around the house and this book brought back many fond memories of that time in his life. He listened to the book in just a few days. This book will take you to another place in time.

Colfer, E. (2001). Artemis Fowl. New York: Hyperion Paperbacks for Children.

Artemis Fowl is not only to tale of the ingenious and villainous Artemis Fowl, but also the Story of Captain Holly Short, the first female to protect the magical people by joining LEPrechaun force.

Artemis, whose mother is unwell since his father was lost in the Arctic, searches with his friend and protector, Butler, to restore the Fowl fortune. This leads Artemis into trouble with the magical world when he takes Holly hostage. From there Artemis must match wits with LEP’s best agents and one of the magical community’s sneakiest criminals.

The book allows students to question their own cultural norms, as humans are called Mud People and their (our) practices are called into question.

The story includes subtle environmental messages. It also blurs the lines between genres, as it includes both sci-fi and fantasy elements. But most of all, this is a fun series for the young action-adventure lover to become addicted to.

Plus, Artemis is a Mac user, the clever boy.

Activities to do with the book:

This is a book is a great adventure story to help to get students immersed in a story. It lends itself to role-play since students can have fun being a villainous and powerful child genius.

Since some complain that the Artemis Fowl books are hard to visualize, students could create their own illustrations to help with this or create their own adventures for some of the supporting characters.

Favorite Quotes:

“How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis’s own intelligence. He babboozles every test thrown at him. He has puzzled the greatest medical minds, and sent many of them gibbering to their own hospitals” (p. 1).

“The Mud People destroyed everything they came into contact with. Of course they didn’t live in the mud anymore. Not in this country, at least. Oh no. Big fancy dwellings with room for everything–rooms for sleep
