The Wii is great on its own. The games are fun, and it was easy to set up and start using. However, I feel a bit cheated, in that the unit was sold at the same price whether it came with Wii Sports and Wii Resort, or just Wii Sports. I have to take responsibility for not looking closely enough, that I clicked on the unit with Wii Sports only. But from all the advertising, I expected to also get Wii Resort, so I did not look more closely. So while the game is fun, it is also a bit sad.

Just an absolutely superb product!

I bought mine from Amazon.com, and it arrived in record-breaking speed, packaged extremely well.

Regarding the watch unit itself, I did research for a very long time on all the models that are currently available in the United States, from pretty much all of the manufacturers, not just Garmin. My search included a price-point from $69 up to $650.

I could say many things, but in the end, I just want to say if you are on the fence, go ahead and get the 305. You definitely will not regret it!

I love this product!

Pros:

1. I find the slightly larger size of the face to be PERFECT FOR READING WHILE RUNNING. Any smaller and I might not be able to comfortably read the screen.
2. The heart rate monitor is actually very comfortable, as is the watch itself.
3. I liked how quickly and easily the heart rate monitor synced with the wrist unit. I basically put the HRM strap on, and turned on the watch, and it synced.
4. The data interfaces seamlessly with Google Maps- even on Windows 7 64 bit. You just select from a “drop down” menu, “View in Google Maps”, and then Google Maps opens up with your data plotted right on the screen. You can hover your mouse over the waypoints (updates every 1 second), and view what your time, distance, heart rate, and pace was.
5. EXTREMELY simple to get started with the basic features, and be working out in minutes (except for one thing, which I’ll mention below- which is barely a “con”, but it should be said).
6. I got a GPS fix on the 305 in about 25 seconds right out of the box. That is faster than my $300 automobile GPS unit.

Cons:
1. Needs to be charged for 3 hours out of the box when it first arrives! GAAHHHH! I wanted to just strap it on and go running, but I had to wait. I know, this isn’t really a complaint, but I can’t think of any negative things to say about this thing.
2. Alright, maybe just one thing that is SLIGHTLY negative: It is just a little bit complicated to master all the

I liked much of this novel but can’t say it is a great book. The main problem is that the author never found a consistent tone for the novel. I call this the “reverse Irving” effect. John Irving is a master at underscoring the ultimate horror in his novels by initially setting a very humorous tone and then suddenly shifting gears. Comedy to horror works; horror to comedy does not. The Help early on does manage to convey the fear of being either an “uppity” black or a pro-civil rights white in the South of the early ’60’s. But the author throws that away by interjecting humor (childish, bad humor at that), starting with the fundraising gala. The book just loses all credibility at that point. The “dramatic” confrontation between Celia and Hilly at the gala is just silly and the Terrible Awful is ridiculous. While it was apparent that the Constantine story would have something to do with her daughter, the resolution of that plot line lacked all credibility — this is the early 60’s, not the late 60’s and the daughter came across as a Black Power radical about five years too soon (speaking of authenticity, no Jew would ever describe Christmas by saying “we call it Hanukah” as Stein did to Skeeter).

Also, the author’s treatment of Celia is puzzling, given that this is a book about prejudice and stereotyping. As written, Celia just confirms all cliches about poor, white trash — her brains are entirely in her boobs. I wanted to see Celia really see Hilly for what she was at the gala, not kiss her ass. Similarly, it is inconceivable to me that Skeeter would care for a nanosecond that Hilly and Elizabeth had dumped her — she had already moved far beyond them by that point.

Finally, and this may be a bit unfair, but my feeling all along while reading it is that this book was written forty years too late. One of the things that makes To Kill a Mockingbird so enduring is precisely that it was written at the time; as such it was a gutsy book to write, and the

I got this particular product originally when I was participating in a medical school diabetes study on walking and it’s affect on blood sugar. I had had three cheap pedometers before. They were either totally inaccurate or broke within a month. This one is so good, that I purchased another one for my neighbor who has had a quadruple bypass and needs motivation to exercise. I wasn’t at all surprised to see this reviewed as the best pedometer in Consumer Reports a few months ago. It is lightweight, accurate, (we have compared the distance with the car odometer on several of our walking routes,) and the attached frame with clip has kept me from losing it more times than I can count! I clip it to my waistband, and sometimes find it dangling there. It is also supposed to be OK if you wear it in a pocket, although I have not tried that, as most women’s clothing does not have enough (or any!) pockets. The cheap pedometers I have had before were so inaccurate that they picked up vibration from driving in the car, and counted that as steps. Others could not be set to my stride length, which this one can. I recommend it highly. It is easy to use, once you get through the hassle of measuring your average stride length. As a bonus, since I began using it, it has helped me to walk more, and my blood sugar is under very good control. My doctor and diabetes educator are thrilled!

I can see why this book is so popular in the culture we live in (the USA). There is a no fault clause on whatever you decide to do. No sin, nothing offends God, we are perfect in what we do at all times. Do whatever feels good. This is a great book to share with your 14 year old son or daughter if you want them to be totally depraved. God is not as stupid as this author makes him out to be.
Deluxe Digital SLR Camera

I have had my Garmin Forerunner for 4 months now. PROS: Display is nice, easy to customize, easy to read. Have not had issues with locating satellites outside. Heart rate monitor works well. Love the ability to have virtual partner, set alarms for goals, etc. CONS: COMPUTER SOFTWARE and CUSTOMER SUPPORT! Initially everything worked perfectly. A couple weeks after I had used the device, I searched for software updates and the program said there was an update available. I downloaded the update then had major issues with transferring data and storing information on the computer. Numerous communications with customer service yielded poor responses and ineffective solutions. Independent research discovered that the so called ‘update’ was actually an earlier software version than the one I had loaded and not a more recent update. Wound up having to remove software and reload original, then it worked fine…UNTIL…a couple of days ago. I tried to customize a workout on the software and transfer the workout to my device. All seemed fine until I tried to then download my data after the workout. The device read “Transfer Complete” but the Training Center gave me an error message saying Trouble Communicating with Device…make sure it’s plugged into the computer then try again. Contacted customer support without reply. Seems like this device works well when you don’t try to customize anything or transfer from software onto device. I am VERY disappointed w/ this product and the support from Garmin.

Great fun for the family, not meant for a hard core multiplayer online fanatic like my self. The extended family has forced me to buy batteries at costco but it’s well worth it! I love this system when it comes to family entertainment and also brings out the competitiveness in even the most subtle people. Love the system, hate the available online issues, but you know what? This is about getting the family together and enjoying each others company. Want to bring the family together? Fork over the $200 and enjoy!
