This is the very best pedometer I have ever owned and I have owned a few. Once you get your stride measured accurately it keeps perfect count, measures ONLY steps and not other movements. Works equally well whether it’s attached to your waist band or in a pants or jacket pocket. Not too long ago when I was getting ready to go out of town I didn’t have it fastened securely to my pants. As I lifted my dog into the car it must have popped off. About half way to our destination I realized it was gone and assumed I had either left it on a counter at home or dropped it in the driveway. Five days later I found it in the driveway. It had survived days of rain, yet it was still working well. I would purchase this item again!!!

This Hoover works pretty good, cleans carpets really well. It kinda blows dust around when it’s on the floor cleaning setting though and it’s soooooooo loud. But overall, it’s not bad. Works much better than my last vacuum.

Wow, it’s been four years since it’s release and its still sold out! I called 3 town looking for one and decided to take my chances online, and oh boy am I glad I did! The overnight shipping rate was cheaper than sales tax in the store! I got my Wii today delivered to my door. I am more than pleased with the packaging and shipping rates, and the product was brand new in the box, very high quality! I am recommending this to anyone!

Artemis Fowl is a genius and a criminal mastermind, plus he is 13. It all starts when Artemis hears about fairies. After a long search Artemis gets his hands on a Fairy Bible. With the help of his bodyguard Artemis captures a fairy, a police fairy. After the capture there came war between 3 humans and a fairy army, but it took place in his house. A great fantasy incorporated into modern times.
I think that Artemis Fowl is a brilliant book. I love how Eoin Colfer used technology with the fairies. He created a whole new image of fairies in my head after I started reading through it. I would definitely recommend this book to any one who likes fantasy. It might be a fantasy but it is also seems like science fiction at times, with all the fairy technology being so far advanced to anything we have today. It was a real page turner too. There was never really a dull moment in the book. Whenever Artemis thinks there is either a plan coming up or something must be going on, say a conflict. So whenever Artemis doesn’t think it settles down, but that is very rarely. Even though it was a good book the plot isn’t very believable. You don’t really hear of 13 year old boys being smarter than most adults, who is a criminal mastermind. If there was a civilization underground by now I also think that it would be discovered. Even though it was unbelievable I very much enjoyed the style of writing. I’m already a fan of fantasy, and to add futuristic items just really made me enjoy it. The best part is how he turned fairy terms we know of into something else like our leprechaun is actually LEPrecon, a retrieval team to get back fairies. Overall, if I could I would rate Artemis Fowl a 7 out of 5.

We are really enjoying our Wii. I am glad that I did some research to find out that not all bundle’s come with everyting you need. As far as the Wii itself… we love it. We are really getting into the games and love how you have to get up and move in order to play the games we have.

This is an awesome camera. Color is rich and details are sharp. Two Card slots for memory is cool…

In this funny thought-provoking story, a rich boy-genius criminal mastermind takes on the fairy world, but this is not the fairy world we often think about. This is a high-tech group of races that live deep underground. At stake is a staggering amount of gold. Now, Artemis is amoral, but seems to become distinctly evil by the end of this novel, adding tension to this novel.
Though this is written for young teens and preteens, older fans of young evil geniuses will enjoy this and will sometimes ponder it.
A cipher runs the length of the book for those codebreakers who want to tackle it. Fortunately, its solution is not needed for understanding the story. The cipher has a very tiny twist that makes it interesting.
Artemis Fowl (available in several editions) is part of a series that continues with a variety of adventures & characters. In these we see Artemis embrace his evil nature and resist his evil nature. We also see some girls get involved in the action. The first three novels in this series can be found in Artemis Fowl: The Criminal Mastermind Collection (paperback). The series should be read in order.
Parental concerns: There are a few things parents might want to consider. Consideration is not a bad thing. Remember, by checking out the book, you get to read it first; it is pretty funny. For my part, I found the series OK for my son. I was not so sure for me. The hero is an evil criminal mastermind, in a child-like sense. Should I be hanging out with a criminal mastermind? Also, in the battle between Artemis and his fairy enemy Holly, I wanted both to win. I don’t think this is a relativistic view of right and wrong, though; Artemis is wrong. So, how come I wanted Artemis to win? I do like him. And the dwarf’s method of digging tunnels is so alimentary, sometimes with explosive results at the, uh, exhaust end! Should I be reading such rude bottom humor? And then every once in while there is the rare ideological comment that might

this is a must have for pet owners. i have a 4 yr old german shepherd whose shedding has always been out of control. i bought this tool because a friend of mine told me of her experiences using the furminator while working in a vet clinic. i kinda dismissed the recommendation until we moved to a new place and ended up having all hard floors. i found myself dusting my furniture everyday and sweeping 3x’s a day(at least). my days seemed to revolve around picking up dog hair! finally after listening to my friend rave about this product i purchased 1. instantly there was a difference, i could not believe it. i could actually pet my dog w/out having a pile of dog hair on the floor when im finished. now im not saying this product will make your pet completely stop shedding but if you have a long haired animal i would definitely recommend trying this product and i do think you will be just as amazed as i am.
