This watch has a weakness you should know about. The arms that have the pin holes that hold the watchband pins in place are made of PLASTIC, not metal. After just two weeks of GENTLE wear, one of these arms cracked off completely. I was just sitting at my desk at work and PLOP! the watch fell completely out of my sleeve and onto my desk.

I don’t mean the pin just came out of the hole, I mean the ENTIRE arm which contains the pin hole broke off. Take a close look at those four light brown arms on each side of the leather watchband. Those are plastic–brittle plastic.

Obviously this part of any wristwatch is subject to some stress, and should be made of metal. Not this one.

UPDATE: One week after epoxy gluing the pin hole arm that broke off, I checked the underside of the watch and saw that all four arms had visible cracks. ALL FOUR! This is not just one weak arm folks. This is a design flaw.

I promptly went out and bought a Timex Expedition with metal arms. Total time this watch spent on my wrist–3 weeks.

I have a motto for this watch: “Twenty days for twenty dollars.”

I could not finish reading this first book. If I finished it I would have lost too much. I would have ended up loving a vampire and looking at him in a strange way. Nah, couldn’t do it. However, this author is nothing compared to J.K. Rowling. Stephanie doesn’t have the element of surprise and sense that J.K. Rowling have in her books. Meyer only knows about disturbing irrational love. I know twilight fans will hate me after this, but I really don’t care. I got Harry Potter fans having my back. And they are a lot more.

I had been going back and forward over which Garmin Forerunner to buy. My running friends have the 405 and my brother has the 310xt. Both these models are pretty expensive and the 405 showed some bad reviews that made me doubt. For example, what made me worry is the fact that this one has sensitive touch buttons. After having an Ipod with it I realized that this would be bad for me, since after my runs I have sweaty hands and the sensitive touch does not always work.
So I looked into the 305, which is the bigger and older model.
I am soooo happy with it! I’ve logged about 15 runs with it and it’s been working great for me..

A couple cons: When running on a mountain bike trail the distance is not very accurate. The trail has many (MANY) small turns and such and is very overgrown with trees, so I expected it.
Running with the garmin on the track is also a little bit more difficult than with a regular watch. There are so many things on the screen, that it is sometimes hard to find the time per lap.

Overall it’s been a great experience! I love it and I’m happy I bought this one!

This is my third unit over as many years as the product with spin has been available.
Perhaps 20 years.

The product does the job for most anything if used correctly. Do not rush makes a cleaner area. This is not a fast process but easy to set up to do rooms and areas.

Do not try to tackle an entire house on the same day. Why because the empty process and the reload with any unit of this type takes time and travel to empty and load the detergent mix. Again it does a good job and with the spin step attachment steps are a snap. For the step process the hose is a bit short and the unit has to be moved which is the pain.

Because of the ease of storage and setup to clean, its best to finish an area or several
rooms and a hall and wrap the job up for the next day or week. Position the start of you jobs near a bath where hot water is accessable and the empty is down the tolet of a utility tub. Use of the john is best for peices of debris or dirt or sand. I thought the surge would be an item not usable, but it is very effective for heavy soild areas or spots. It works well. The only reason for the rating was my disapointment with the broken locking part which when examined the plastic looked defective.

My last unit was 10 years old and I ruined it by storing it in a craw space at the beach where salt water can arrive and it did this winter.

CONS: The unit quality is at question for the new model. On the first use the upright locking unit broke without stress or a loaded tank just by tilting the unit to roll into place. The good part is that it is warranted (just register on line) and there is a repair shop within 10 miles of the units location. The unit is still usable and will be taken to the shop for repair this week.

This product came recommended from a co-worker, but I’m always a little skeptical. The FURminator, however, was exactly as described by my friend. Totally awesome, no discomfort to my usually nervous black lab. She has a very thick undercoat that is very hard to thin out, but the FURminator did an amazing job. I highly recommend this product for your pet. By the way, make sure you purchase it at Amazon. The price is less than half compared to the pet stores!!!

I have had this card for about 18 months without any trouble. I have used it to take HD movies, as a thumb drive in a reader, and hundreds of still pics. The Lock switch has been infallable; I set it before handing it to friends to offload files, so it has been tested a couple dozen times. It is also noticibly faster than my older 2Gb class 1 (?) and smaller cards, particularly in taking movies and large file transfers. I also enjoy reminding my technodweeb friends I paid half what they did for their “big-brand” cards.

This was the cheapest I have seen this game, and I have been looking for a while. I thought that I was going to have to buy the wii sport. It was nice that it was included.It did not take long to get and it works great.
Thank You, Gretchen

I purchased this one because the other brand I purchased fell on the floor, the display went and the manufacturer (not the store where I purchases) had a crappy customer service department so no repeat business for them.
Overall a great product, still learning how to use!

Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer is a definite must read fantasy that I would recommend to kids ages 10 and up. The story starts off in Ho Chi Minh City. Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard, Butler, are meeting a man who supposedly is going to take them to see a fairy. They meet a fairy who has lost all her magic due rice wine. Artemis tricks her and gets The Book in exchange for her life. The Book is a special book that holds all the fairy’s secrets including how they get their magic. At the same time Captain Holly Short a LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police) officer, is on a special mission to defend the humans from a deadly troll. Although what she doesn’t know is that she is about to be captured by… Artemis Fowl!
Artemis Fowl is unlike any other any other twelve year old boy. He is completely ghost pale with dark hair. The sinister look in his eye is enough to send shivers down the toughest man’s spines. He’s determined to become a master thief and carry on the Fowl legacy. Artemis is an ultimate genius and is always one step ahead. He’s quick on improvising and very daring. He also feels as well as acts superior, therefore he doesn’t treat most people with respect. The only friend he has is his bodyguard, Butler. Artemis speaks with an incredible adult-sounding vocabulary, and doesn’t show many feelings, except for the times that he is torn because his mother is losing her mind ever since his father mysteriously disappeared. As you can tell, Artemis Fowl is absolutely no ordinary twelve year old boy.
Artemis Fowl is about to put his knowledge to the test as he takes on the fairies in a fast-paced marvelous read that will keep you reading to the end, and then have you begging for more of Artemis Fowl!
