The book Artemis Fowl is a quick fictional read. In its plot are fairies, elves, sprites, gnomes, dwarves, and goblins. Artemis Fowl is the main character, a criminal mastermind who plans to steal gold from the fairies in order to make his family rich.

Artemis managed to find a fairy and get the fairy’s Book, a book that every fairy carries around. The Book held all the secrets of fairies. Unfortunately for Artemis, the book was written in the “old tongue”, the fairy language, which no human understood. However, this was no large obstacle for a genius like Artemis. He quickly decoded the book and used the secrets described in it to capture a fairy (captain Holly Short) to hold ransom for a ton (literally) of 24 carat gold. In the end, the fairies got back half of the gold and a dwarf stole the other half.

For me, this book is as interesting and as attractive as Harry Potter. However, if you prefer to read realistic stories, I do not suggest this book for you.

Compact Safety Light

Probably any tale set at a travelling circus is going to be wonderfully colorful, but this one surpassed my expectations. I was so engrossed in what was going to happen with all the characters, and just absolutely loved the whole thing.
Domestic Light And Cold

Man, I really am happy I went ahead and bought this steam cleaner. A trick I learned from the professionals is to BOIL the water before filling the clean water tank and I tell you what… I have a toddler and 2 dogs and LOVE how clean this got my carpets. It’s not a professional machine, and you will have to do a few passes to get it almost perfect, but the one time investment is really going to pay off!!!
Walk In The Light

I use it to track my running, biking, and canoeing. Does a great job. Locks in on satellites very quickly. The user interface on the device is a bit clunky, but does the job fine.

The data is the reason to have the 305. I’ve really switched my workouts over to more heart rate zone training and the watch is perfect for it. Heart rate function works perfectly. Speed function is almost always exactly what my bike speedo shows.

Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase.

Two possible improvements
1. I wish I could configure the settings from the Garmin software rather than having to use the 305 buttons. For example configuring the disply settings, clearing history, etc would be much nicer in a GUI on the computer rather than the buttons on the 305.
2. If I have the setting wrong for Running, Biking, Other, I can’t see how to change it once its downloaded into the Garmin software. So if you run when the 305 is set to Biking, your workout will show up in biking, calculate calories based on biking, etc.

One word of warning – although the device is called waterproof with an IPX7 rating, I know several people who have had water get in the device and ruin it. When I use mine in the ocean I keep it in a drybag.

Holy Light

I am really happy with this bathroom scale! The clean design makes it very versatile with different types of decor. The glass is thick and sturdy and the numbers are large and clear. I also like that it’s very easy to use- just tap on the glass to “wake” it up, and the reading is lit for a good amount of time. Very worthwhile purchase.
Black Light Original Mix

I bought this two years ago on Amazon to accompany my Canon HF100 that I ordered at the same time. I was concerned that Transcend was not a common brand, but after all this time it works well, and I shoot a lot of video. At this price a Kingston is only class 4, and a lot of newer camcorders, which I plan to buy, require class 6. I’d buy another Transcend without question.
Light Of The World

Loving this light. Amazingly simple to attach to the bike. Very bright LEDs. I have used the light on/off for the last 6 months, and the batteries are still good.

Probably the best bike light that I have ever purchased, and well worth the price.

Highly recommended.
