Bought it for my brother. He loves it. Other than that, don’t know too much about it. The color on the watch is not paper white, but rather an off white looking color. Shipping was quick.

A must-read for the student of Columbus and the conquest of the New World that tells the story of the Great Discoverer as it has never been told before. Be prepared, for it shows Columbus as the product of a sickly and dispirited Europe convinced of the impending end of the world. It reveals him to be a rootless and lonely man who had difficulty getting along with his fellow Europeans and had little or no understanding of the lands he discovered and later governed. The book also dispells many enduring myths, such as how Queen Isabella supposedly pawned her jewels to finance his voyage, tales of mutinous sailors who believed the world was flat, and how Columbus supposedly died in obscure poverty. Read this book & you’ll soon discover why there was such a backlash against the 500th aniversary celebration in 1992. There is a fascinating section that deals with the holocaust inflicted against the Indians, with stories and recollections of unbelieveable cruelty and astonishing horrors committed by the Spanish, including Columbus himself. Later chapters deal with his enduring legacy. Included is a look at the pros and cons of the Noble Savage-as environmentalist controversy. Well-written, engaging, and superbly researched. In my estimation, this is THE book on Columbus!

There is nothing that I can add that hasn’t already been said about this book. But it was an important book to me in my teen years. Feeling lost, this book made me feel as if someone out there understood me. And for that I will forever be grateful to JD Salinger. May he dance with angels.

Artemis Fowl is a magical action story. In the beginning Artemis goes to Cairo to visit a sprit. He goes to download a book. Next he captures a fairy named Captain Short. The fairies try to get Captain Short back. They send in a troll to kill Artemis to free her, then they send ransom money. They get Captain Short back, but then they want their money back. Finally, they bombed the house, but Artemis and Butler, the butler, survive.

This scale is just what i was looking for…
#1. It had to have large enough numbers to be read easily while standing on it…check. Big numbers.Very easy to read. (now I just have to get the numbers to ones i WANT to read…)
#2. It had to be thin enough to tuck under my dresser while not in use. Check. Just the right size.
#3. And this is key. It had to use regular batteries, not those “watch” batteries that are expensive, hard to find and the store is always out of the size you need when you need it. Check. Uses AAA batteries (which are included with the scale…sweet).
Love it. And it came pretty quick, too.

Think of a juvenile James Bond with an IQ beyond Einstein’s. Then throw him in a world of technologically superior fairies, and the fun can begin.

And this is really what Artemis Fowl is about, first and foremost: FUN.

Some might say it reverts too easily to stereotypes, but I am not sure whether this is actually a bad thing. Too much depth, too much complexity in character development, might have taken the umpf out of the sheer fun ride I’ve had in reading Artemis.

The basic idea of the book–for those new to Fowl’s world–is that there is an underground world of fairies who go to great pains to keep their existence a secret from the human upper world. Until Artemis, a young criminal master mind, tracks down the fairies and upsets the whole balance of the worlds above and below ground.

In summary: Don’t expect the symbolism of Narnia, the metaphysics of His Dark Materials, or the detail of Harry Potter. Artemis Fowl doesn’t have any of those. Instead, expect to be blasted away by the explosive energy of a fun novel.

This Hoover vacuum was purchased to replace an Oreck we’d had for a few years that was showing its age. It has proven to be better than the Oreck for which we had paid much more! It has very good cleaning power and is not heavy to manipulate. I’d definitely recommend the Hoover Tempo Widepath!

I recently bought a Garmin GPS, and I knew that I would dislike using the suction cups that come with my GPS. I shopped around and found the friction mount. I put it on the dashboard of my car, and pop on my GPS, just like I would on the suction cup, and I’m good to go. You can adjust the angle, and the friction mount does not move at all. I would recommend this product to anyone as an excellent alternative to the standard suction cup.

I thought this was a good value for the price but I found that I was having to do a lot more laundry because of leaks.

the number of free apps is just out of this world. As a music player it is alright but there are smaller and easier ones out there.
i do not regret buying this for my personal use and no phone or contract to use it.
great – great buy.
