Returned twice for repair in first nine months, now dead for the third time and recently out of warranty.
This product is easy to use and has some good features such as HRM for the price but quality is terrible.

Pardon The Inspiration Devotions

In early March i got my First Kindle and loved it. It was wonderful….for 2 weeks. Then in the middle of reading the screen goes to the sleep mode and freezes. SO I called customer service and was told I could return it for a replacement. So I have had my second kindle for about a month. In the middle of reading THE SCREEN WENT BLANK AND WILL NOT TURN ON! My kindle is fully charged, has never been dropped, and I don’t let it sit in the sun. This is rediculous! I feel totally ripped off! I Suggest that anyone wanting to buy a kindle…. DON’T DO IT!!!!!!!

I’m going to go out on a limb here. Let me get right to the point: This is a terrible book.

Harsh? Maybe, but that’s how it is. About the time Artemis Fowl hit the market, I heard it claimed that Eoin Colfer was 14 when he wrote it. On some simple checking of dates, the claim seems unlikely (he was 36 when it was published). But the book is so badly written that it’s believable. If this was fanfic, everyone would be pointing at the protagonist and shouting “Gary Stu! Gary Stu!” (If that doesn’t ring any bells, try looking up “Mary Sue” instead.) The descriptive style … well, what can one say about the descriptive style? Phil Foglio uses some very similar characterisations in his Myth books. (Compare Guido and Nunzio to Fowl’s butler, for example.) The difference is, Foglio is writing humorous — and occasionally risqué — parody (and doing a good job of it) … but Colfer is serious. And it just doesn’t work. The characters are cardboard and flat; the plot is predictable and stereotyped, and yet manages to strain even a teenager’s willing suspension of disbelief with its excesses of “But wait, there’s more.”

Granted, this is supposed to be “young adult” fiction. But so is Harry Potter; and the qualkity of writing and plot development in Harry Potter are so far above Artemis Fowl that there’s scarcely any comparision. I know if anyone had given me a copy of Artemis Fowl when I was a “young adult”, I’d have been insulted that they thought my reading level was so low.

TODAY GOD IS FIRST is my first of the morning vitamin to set my frame of mind for the challenges faced in the marketplace daily.

Os Hillman’s capability to present the everyday personal trials we all face in the public arena in perspective of how God might handle them is truly unique. TGIF is the WWJD answer in book format.

The examples and situations he presents are so real and memorable that you will likely find yourself relating them to others. Or, better yet, buying copies to share because EVERYONE can relate and comfortably absorb the experiences he shares in this book.

TGIF really relates so much to everyday life, you will find yourself looking repeatedly for the nourishment this book gives for helping you put on “the full armour of God” to tackle what lies ahead of each and every day. This book blesses us to keep on going, pressing ahead to do God’s will.

Over the past 10 years or so, I have bought 5 to 10 pedometers from Sports authority, Radio Shack and on-line. None of them lasted more than 3 months before failing until I bought the Omron HJ112. It is now going on it’s 3rd year, and it does everything that it claims, except that I find that the average battery life is closer to 9 months than 6 (and you can buy these batteries for very low prices on Amazon – I bought 5 Maxell for $2.00). Does everything that it claims – I keep it in my pocket, walk 1,000 or so steps and check the readout – almost right on target – well within the 5% claimed by the manufacturer. Likewise, I walk in NYC a lot where it is easy to measure a mile (20 blocks). Again, almost right on target. Buy this any you’ll probably never buy another.

I finally replaced my old heart rate monitor with this gps device. I like it a lot as it shows me the vitals that I need to keep on pushing further. I haven’t explored all the features but I’m happy with the basic that it provides me so far.
