I haven’t ever used a watch like this before so i can’t compare to other models. i love the gps function. i love the sharing of info & training programs/upload. i really wish the battery would last longer. i think it’ll go total 5-6 hrs (with getting shut off inbetween). i am training for my first ultra & am afraid w/ continuous usage that the watch will not last for my whole long training runs. it is a bit big & clunky & it weighs unevenly on my wrist when i run.. i can feel it twisting on my wrist & is distracting & after several hours begins to hurt. Overall i am satisfied with the watch tho & am glad i got it.

My Garmin mount arrived from AMAZON even before the GPS did, but only by a couple of days. As soon as the GPS arrived I snapped it together and took it to my car and off we went. Mount is very sturdy, no problems going around corners or on bumpy roads. I am very satisfied.

I very much enjoyed reading this book but in the end I cannot give it a five-star review. In my opinion, Stockett did a marvelous job creating the main characters, who leap off the page and convey so much warmth and humanity. They are layered and interesting, and their relationships have the ring of truth. And though the author makes a few small historical errors, overall her portrayal of Mississippi in the early 1960s is very convincing, with its bizarre social rules and deep-seated hypocrisy. The book is a page-turner and, mostly, a delight.

But several aspects of the novel don’t work for me at all, and lessen the book’s impact quite a bit.

For one, I simply cannot buy that Minny, for ages, pretty much got away with the so-called Terrible Awful, which the despicable Hilly knew about from the get-go. That is wholly inconsistent with the world as it is depicted, in which whites cruelly punish blacks for small, even imagined slights. Yet we are to believe that powerful, vindictive, take-no-prisoners Hilly was satisfied merely to malign Minny’s reputation after such a mind-boggling insult? I don’t buy it. In fact, the entire pie storyline struck me as a contrivance so the book would include a shocking element to get readers buzzing.

I was also disappointed with the Stuart / Miss Skeeter love affair, such as it was. I kept being told how desirable Skeeter found Stuart, even after his appalling behavior the first time they meet, but why? He comes off as a privileged narcisstic boor who, by the way, drinks too much. Finally, Skeeter seems to recognize that he’s not worthy of her attention, and it’s a rewarding twist when we learn that Skeeter’s mother actually is not that keen on him, either. Great! So why, then, does Skeeter say yes to his eventual marriage proposal? And why does her mother regret that Stuart will not be her son-in-law? Why isn’t Skeeter, who we see has backbone, the one to walk away? That’s not the Skeeter we’ve gotten to know, and I

This is the better choice when mounting your GPS. In many states, mine included, it is illegal to mount devices on the windshield. This product allow you to have the GPS in clear view without obstructing your visual field. It is easy to set up & easy to use. It stays in place & doesn’t slide all over your dash when you make turns. This was a very smart purchase. You will love it!
New York Yankees Forever

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.
