I got the Forerunner 305 to track primarily speed and heart rate for outdoor inline speed skating. I’ve had it about 3 weeks and so far it’s worked great. The GPS reception is probably the main feature of interest, since it’s just a HRM/timer without that. Outdoors the reception is fine. I’ve never lost reception outdoors. The rest area where I work out has a small (maybe 15×15 foot) metal shade, and my 305 even holds reception there in the shade, where people with the prior model have to take it off to avoid having to go through the satellite acquisition sequence all over again. But indoors, it’s pretty much no-go. It gets spotty reception in my house (wood house with composite shingles) and in any kind of commercial building with metal in the roof or structure, it’s no go at all. So if you were thinking of something like walking the mall and using this to measure the distance, it probably won’t work for that. The HRM has always worked 100% for me. I don’t regret not getting the 405 or 310 – I’ve heard the 405 is hard to control with sweaty fingers, and the 310 seems better, but not *that* much better considering the cost. There are rumors of a 505 in the works . . .
When I got my Forerunner, the first thing I did was take it for a little ride in the car to decide whether I would believe the speed and location data. It seems pretty accurate on speed, but since it’s computing the speed from an average of your prior locations, it takes about 10 seconds of constant speed for the number on the display to be exactly right. If you’re speeding up or slowing down, the value on the watch will be lagging your real speed, but you can get the real speed in retrospect when you download the data. Location also seems very accurate – usually within about 10 feet. Altitude info is not that great – the same location can vary by 50 feet or more, but typically that’s not as important – your desktop software can correct for that.
A huge part of the experience is the software rather t

After J.D. Salinger died, my 92-year-old mother expressed interest in reading The Catcher in the Rye, so I ordered a used copy of the book The Catcher in the Rye through Amazon.com and had it sent to her. She really enjoyed reading it and gave a review of it at her retirement home book club. She told them she loved the book. I asked for her comments for this book review, and she said:
“I was curious because I heard that after J.D. Salinger died the book is deemed a classic. I hadn’t read it because at one time it was banned. I learned a lot about Holden Caulfield–coming of age. I laughed a lot when reading great descriptions of characters. I could gloss over swear words. A fun book open- ended.”

Note: I am not an avid bicyclist. I just love to go for a beach ride or trail ride with the kiddos. Everyone asks us about our bike seat and I recommend them. My sweet hubby had no trouble getting them on our bikes, and after a year and a half of owning them they are still in perfect condition. The suspension is what stands out the most!!!!

I like the Kindle, but don’t love it. I have ordered a couple books that have charts printed smaller than the normal book print and cannot read them- even on the largest type setting. Part of the problem is the grayscale doesnt permit enough contrast on the small print. I can see this would be a big problem with any textbook application. I am also a browser– like to leaf through books at random which is nearly impossible with the Kindle. I do like the portability- I like to travel with books and this will make my luggage lots lighter, and it is good for beach reading. Still getting used to not having the paper in my hands!

After reading the first fifty or so pages, I stopped and thought that surely someone is going to make a movie out of this book. It is definitly the best book I’ve read in years. And Kathryn Stockett truly speaks the voice of southern women. As a Yankee transplant now in her 25th year in the South, this voice I know well and this is “it”.
Fortunately I can happily add that the racist voices you hear in this book are from the past. You would have to dig far and deep here in the South to find these attitudes anymore in educated women. And with that I’m not going to say anything more lest I spoil it for those who haven’t read the book yet. But please, don’t hesitate. It’s wonderful.
To whoever makes this movie, please don’t ruin it by putting someone from up north in it with a fake Southern accent. It will kill the movie.

The Wii console is small and fits out of the way. It was easy to hook up. The only problem I had with this purchase is the remote does not work. I tried configuring it to the console and also tried new batteries, and still no luck. Had to purchase a new one from the store. I have not had time to get with the purchasee to let them know of the problem and to get a replacement. Schedule has been hectic. So, I can not say they have not corrected this problem because I have not contacted them yet.

Most of the time when I reach for a book that is earning high praise from critics and professional book reviewers I flinch a little inside and begin with not a small amount of trepidation. Why? Because most of the time the books fail to live up to the hype.
And so I put off reading The Help. I put it off for quite some time and honestly, I still would be putting it off if I hadn’t, on a whim, decided, what the hell, I might as well give it a shot.
The first page had me hooked and I’ve carried this book around with me all day long today, inhaling it like it was a huge box of chocolates and I couldn’t eat them fast enough.
I’m sure by now you know what this is a story about. 1960’s Mississippi dealing with segregation and the struggle to define a love/hate relationship between women and their “help” during that time period. The main three characters in this book nearly pop off the pages with their personalities and boy, the “villains”, those selfish, horrible women who have types that are still around today, they personify the worst of what any of us could be.
I cried and laughed and grieved my way through this novel. I was, in turn, horrified by the injustice of the acts being described and uplifted by the attitudes displayed. There are no saints here, there’s no need to be. Just pure, human emotions. Mistakes made, happy moments shared and throughout the entire book there is this gripping feeling of suspense that has you racing toward the end to learn the fates of the women you began to fall in love with at the beginning.
This is a story that will not disappoint you. If you are hesitant, like I was, take the leap. I’m glad I did.

I purchased two iphones, and two of these cases, one for me and one for my wife. (Mine’s not pink.) Within 24 hours of installing the case on my phone, I dropped it and found that the only damage was a dirt mark that wiped off the case. As fragile as these phones are, I’m certain there would’ve been more damage if it weren’t for the case. The only negative remark I have is that the plastic holster with the belt clip does not secure the phone very well. My phone has fallen out of the belt clip two additional times, but the excellent case has spared the phone any damage. Well worth the money, highly recommended.

Excellent case! My phone has hit the pavement many times without a glitch. My problem is that the holster is the reason my phone keeps hitting the pavement. The phone pops out of the holster way too easily. A case built to protect your phone should come with a holster that will keep your phone where it is suppose to be. My advice is buy the case and ditch the holster. If the Otterbox came with a decent holster 5 stars would be too low but as it is I can only justify 3.
