A novel resurgence of an old romantic genre. Although vampires, themselves, don’t lend themselves to be endearing characters, Meyer successfully puts them into human-like conflict situations that we can all relate to. In a rare instance, the movie adaptation is better than the book itself because the subtle effect of black/white cannot be translated in a book. Skillful filmmaking on their part, all of which makes for a compelling series of adventures.

The FURminator is an effective tool. I had to go lightly with my cat but it worked perfectly with my horse. I would like a longer blade for the horse and I think the company sells a longer version, but overall it was a good purchase.

Nice scale but sometimes I get a weight of 4lbs and then some error code. Can’t find the manual so not sure what it means. Gets a little annoying to have to wait for it to reset before stepping on again. Other than that I really like it. Seems well made and the screen is large and easy to read. Lights up blue which I think is cool.

Our family adopted a bearded collie from a local shelter. Not knowing anything about the breed we found she needed extra grooming care. Beardies have a thick coat and undercoat that mats easily. After an initial $70 haircut, trying to keep up with just brushing, the FURminator was recommended to us. She will never need another $70 haircut again. Every 5 days we use this product on her coat and she looks newly groomed. I would recommend the FURminator to anyone with a dog long hair or short.

WII is amazing. It is so much fun but you have watch it because as you play time goes so fast that before you know it you are very sore. My family favorite is Bowling. We can play for hours. All the games that we have played are fun and addictive. It is great for family time.

I have only had this for a couple of months, but so far so good. The speed is adequate for use in a digital camcorder, and the capacity is sufficient for short clips at the highest resolution.

I have never read anything like this and I loved every page. Very few books have actually made me gasp in shock. There is so much about the traveling circus that is appalling yet intriguing at the same time. And who knows what is fact and fiction? Gruen blends the two beautifully. I am now really interested to learn more about this era of the circus. I read my copy in 3 days and have already loaned it out. Trust me, this is a good book! And so different from any story line I’ve ever read.

MIcrosoft Office is an outstanding resource that is delivered to most new computers and notebooks, but the software is only a temp. application and will be terminated after a trial period. I chose to continue using the software.

I am twenty-two years old. Probably not the oldest reader of this series, but I had to put my two cents in for this book and the others that follow.

I am up to ‘Lost Colony’ and having read the four books preceeding it, I have to recommend Artemis Fowl to anyone even slightly interested in the teen-fantasy genre.

I read the first novel when I was sixteen or seventeen and loved it. It’s a creative joyride, with some humorous and epic encounters, and the pages never stopped turning until I came to the last line. The story involves a literal boy-genius, twelve year old Irish lad Artemis Fowl, as he uncovers a secret underground society of fairies and the like. He eventually comes face-to-face with the hero of the tale (Artemis can be seen as an anti-hero of sorts), a young female fairy named Holly Short, an employee of the LEPrecon (get it?) police division.

Personally, I chuckle at things like LEPrecon. It’s funny and it becomes obvious Colfer is a great(er) writer as you move from page to page.

Personally, I find Artemis Fowl to be a much more enjoyable read than Harry Potter. I barely got into the first of the series and it was almost painstaking to do so. Artemis Fowl reeled me in and, obviously, I’m hooked. Looking forward to the ‘Time Paradox’ in July. You should too.

Unbelievable bargain!. I wanted a cheap telephoto lens for those times I need the reach. Since I don’t use Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SLD DG Macro Lens that often, I felt no need for a large or expensive lens. I debated between this lens, the Tamron 70-300 Di, and the Sigma APO of the same type. This was the cheapest so I went with it. Frankly, I can’t believe how good this lens is for its price. At 70mm, it’s tack sharp corner to corner. Even 200-300 it’s quite good. And the Macro mode is just icing on the cake–1:2 magnification means you can get quite close.

It’s true, you need a fair amount of light for this lens to shine–no argument there. But for the individual who only does this sort of stuff for fun, this lens is hard to beat. I can’t imagine the APO variant is worth $70 more–I cannot detect any difference from sample pictures posted online. So if you only need a lens of this focal length occasionally, this is the one to get.
