The Explorer Cups Dora ok or not
August 8th, 2010
When you think of fairies, do you think of cute little winged creatures? Well, you are wrong. The book I read was Artemis Fowl. This book is about a boy named Artemis Fowl, who tries to kidnap a fairy and demand a ransom. He kidnaps Captain Holly Short, a recon officer. Her superior, Commander Root, sends an LEP (Lower Elements Police) retrieval team to try to rescue Holly. Butler, Artemis’ bodyguard, is there to meet them. That is when things get a bit crazy. Trolls start breaking in. A dwarf starts digging his way in. There’s more…
I like this book, because of two reasons. First, the author really described the characters and the setting. Second, because he uses a lot of foreshadowing in the story. That is also bad, because he doesn’t tell you right away what Artemis’ plans are. But that is also good, because they leave you thinking “What is his plan?” If you are interested in magical creatures, kidnapping, magic, and series, then pick up this book and don’t put it down until you finish!

Tags: Crazy on Rack Explorer Topeak Bike
January 2nd, 2010
A good rack, but I didn’t appreciate having to buy more hardware.. Like another reviewer I had to deal with the situation of having to drill out the holes in the rack for 6mm screws (which I had to buy myself) in order to mount Topeak Explorer Bike Rack on my bike. So this must be a fairly common occurence, which prevents me from giving the rack 5 stars — as it does seem to be a very solid and durable rack. Anyway I came up with this scale regarding the installation process based on one’s mechanical inclination.
For someone who’s very handy with tools and not intimidated by having to customize an installation — no sweat whatsover.
For someone like me who knows how to use tools but doesn’t like unforeseen problems — doable with a fair amount of cussing and swearing and maybe a beer or two along the way.
For someone who doesn’t know the difference between a straight slot and phillips head screw driver — put back in the box and arrange for a return before even trying.
