Once again, gilding the lily, but this book should get 5 stars overall. So that is why I am rating it. I could not put this book down. The honest, no-nonsense style of writing is compelling and addicting. When I finished it, like my youth, I was melancholy that it was over.

Before I purchased this watch, I was always exhausted running outdoors, but could run longer on the treadmill – This watch has allowed me to better pace the speed of the run and as a result run longer and faster. Great Coach – it does not lie!

Very nice mount. It does move slightly when I am driving on curvy roads, but I am a very spirited driver. I like that is easy to move from car to car.

My scale just arrived today, according to the tracking available online, it wasn’t supposed to arrive for 3 more days! Seems to be consistent as long as it is placed on a hard floor that is not slanted. It does seem to be 2 lbs higher than my previous scale which was always inconsistent and I hoped was weighing too high..maybe I am just that fat!
Its just been a few hours and I have weighed myself and my 2 children a few times and its almost always the same give or take after a meal. I’m pretty happy with it so far.
Nice appearance, the numbers are very large and with the backlight you can do it in the dark and still see the results. Just step on and within a second you have your weight, no tapping or whatever it used to be.
I’d recommend it.

“Artemis Fowl” by Eoin Colfer, ©2001

I could not help thinking, “What if he had to hurt or even kill someone or something? Could he do it?” He is presented as a merciless criminal, and he is performing as such, but the situation is not developed that he would have to make such a choice. But he is only twelve years old, so the question is could he?
I always enjoy these teenager stories. They are so interesting and the stories are generally pretty good. This is the story of a little boy genius following in his fathers footsteps. His father was a criminal mastermind. His mother is distraught by is disappearance a year or so before the story.
Artemis Fowl acquires, by a bit of deceit a book of the elves, gnomes, dwarves, etc. With this book he concocts to get hold of a bunch of gold. He underestimates the power of the elves. They underestimate his power. In the end everyone is happier, though the elves are a bit poorer. He gets his mother healed by the power of one of the elfs.

I am very pleased with the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale which I purchased. It is very easy to use with the “Step-On” technology and large backlit display. I got on and off the scale several times and it gave the same reading. I then got on and off holding various objects whose weight I knew and the reading changed appropriately.
The Discovery and Conquest

It worked very good on my husky and it didn’t hurt him, no need to brush him many times during Spring, after last Winter( about 1 month ago) i did it once, can last till now,he feel happy after i done that for him, is the best tool i ever had for my dog.

I use it to track my running, biking, and canoeing. Does a great job. Locks in on satellites very quickly. The user interface on the device is a bit clunky, but does the job fine.

The data is the reason to have the 305. I’ve really switched my workouts over to more heart rate zone training and the watch is perfect for it. Heart rate function works perfectly. Speed function is almost always exactly what my bike speedo shows.

Overall I’m very pleased with the purchase.

Two possible improvements
1. I wish I could configure the settings from the Garmin software rather than having to use the 305 buttons. For example configuring the disply settings, clearing history, etc would be much nicer in a GUI on the computer rather than the buttons on the 305.
2. If I have the setting wrong for Running, Biking, Other, I can’t see how to change it once its downloaded into the Garmin software. So if you run when the 305 is set to Biking, your workout will show up in biking, calculate calories based on biking, etc.

One word of warning – although the device is called waterproof with an IPX7 rating, I know several people who have had water get in the device and ruin it. When I use mine in the ocean I keep it in a drybag.

I use this product and it works very well. My only issue is that if I want to hide it when I leave to car, I have to empty out my glove compartment completely to make room.
