We bought the tub that brings this item and were very excited to use it, at first everything seemes great but the more you use it the more the batteries waste and therefore the flow of water decreases. I think this item is a great idea but it only works well the first day you put new batteries in it. Every day after that, your flow actually slows you down and it becomes quite frustrating. I’ve stoppped using it because I’m tired of wasting money on the batteries that give you a good flow for only one day and it took me much longer to bathe my baby with this shower than to just use a bucket of water and wash cloths. I was very dissapointed because we bought the tub specifically for this item and both have pretty much been a waste of money.

Ok, this is nothing short of fantastic. Nice writing, great vocabulary. I’ve noticed that some people complain about the words they use. Well, I’ve been reading these since 9 and understand them perfectly. Wonderful. Yeah, it isn’t the kind of thing that you can skim over. But I like it. It’s really smart, you can tell that Eion Colfer is a smart guy. Also, people saying that Arty is obnoxious……..of course he is! Through the whole thing, I think that everyone was rooting for Holly. But, come on, he’s kid thief. What did you expect?

Okay, I’m gonna give you the basic summary.

Artemis Fowl the 2nd is a criminal mastermind. He is a sardonic genius, has made several huge criminal investments, has gotten the best of everyone he meets, bewildered and astonoished physchologicists…..and he’s only 12 years old. But what’s the cause? His father, Artemis Fowl 1st, has disappeared on a boat. Artemis won’t give up on him, even though the courts have officially proclaimed him dead, and his mother has sunk into a depression since her husbnad’s disappearance. Artemis will do anything to get his dad back, but he needs the money to fund it. Where to get it?

Kidnap on officer of the LEP, a police organization……..of the fairies. That’s right. 3 feet tall beings with magic coursing through their veins. Wings, pointy ears, the whole shebang. But these fairies aren’t…nice. They have guns. Advanced technology. And (what Artemis is after) a ransom fund. One consisting of billions of dollars in gold.

The next main character: Captain Holly Short, the first female officer of the LEP. She’s under pressure by the sexists…so when she skips out on the magic-restoring Ritual, she’s sent to get her powers back. Where she’s ambushed by the power-hungry Artemis.

I LOVED these books. Strict parents, be warned that there is a large amount of bathroom humor. A dwarf. The writing is sardonic and witty, which I loved. The characters were smart and fun, and everyone had a great characte

I bought the Kindle 2 back in 2009 for $400. At the time I justified the purchase with the idea that books would be cheaper on the Kindle 2 and I would not have to pay for shipping and handling. However, kindle books are not significantly cheaper on amazon. The kindle equivalent of a hard cover is usually significantly discounted, yet the kindle equivalent of a paperback is barely discounted. Therefore I would not suggest getting a kindle if you intend to read paperbacks.

In addition the kindle interface is clunky. The screen loads slowly and if you have a lot of books it is very annoying to navigate through your library. Another huge problem is that if you lose your kindle you lose all your books. Kindle books are not in a standard ebook reader format, this forces you to get another kindle when something happens to your kindle.

Most importantly the kindle’s battery has a tendency to break. It seems that this is a fairly common problem. When I contacted kindle support they tried two ways to reset the kindle and then informed me that I would have to get a new kindle. It seems ridiculous to me that they do not offer to repair your kindle. If the battery in your laptop breaks you can send it back to the manufacturer to get a new battery. Even if your laptop is out of warranty you pay a small fee to get it serviced. It is illogical to me that I can’t pay for a new battery instead of having to buy a new kindle.

There are many ebook readers available and the Kindle is one of the most expensive of all the ebook readers(some are as low $90).I strongly suggest that you shop around before purchasing a kindle.

I have a toddler who has loved this toy since we brought it home (8 mos), he used to just watch it. Now he is able to play with it! This is one of the few toys that ALWAYS comes out of the toy box. All the children that come over to play also seem to enjoy it! Very sturdy, interactive, good motor skill development, the noise isnt annoying….GREAT TOY!

I bought a new computer and needed the Office 2007 to keep all three computers with the same version of Office. This supplier had the best price on the version I was looking for.
The software is the same regardless who you purchase it from so that is not an issue. This supplier was very prompt to get my purchase shipped. It arrived before the scheduled delivery date!!
I am totally pleased with this supplier and would purchase from them again.
Thank you for a good job and a great price!!

I am very confortable with my reading device. It is very useful when traveling or resting at my bed. In fact, some of my friends (and even strange people in the street) ask me about my kindle… I can read for hours in it and it does not hurt my eyes.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger is just about the best book I have ever read. From the very begginning of the book until the very last words, I could connect with this mysterious character Salinger created. Although Holden was quite hard to figure out, he stil had a very strong sense of humor. With a smart-alec tone to his thoughts you gradually find out his past and his present. In the entire book you embark on a journey to uncover Holden’s true self. In Holden’s mind you go through the same typical midlife crisis a teen would. This was a very good book and deserves a spot on the bookshelf next to the Harry Potter series. I advise anyone of any age to read this book and think whats beyond the words. People have interpreted this in so many ways and theres no entirely correct way. Great Job, Salinger.

I was more or less forced to buy, because I purchased a new computer. It was a learning curve to figure out where everything I use in Office 2000 was, as the format is all-new. The biggest drawback is new document extensions (.docx instead of .doc), and they are not fully compatible. I guess Bill just needed even more money.

Love this, I didn’t want the windshield mount and thought I would try this. I am so glad I did!

I rarely ever pick up a book that I find absolutely amazing but recently I purchased this book and I think it is quite possibly the best book out there on security for Windows-based networks. I cannot strongly enough encourage everyone to pick up a copy of this book.

I picked up this book because I noticed it was authored by Steve Riley. If you’ve ever done anything with IPSec on Windows you’ve probably run across articles by Steve Riley on Microsoft’s site. While both the authors are Microsoft employee’s, this book, as you will note, is not a Microsoft Press book and I assume the authors did this so they could speak more freely about security and not be obligated to follow standard MS security rhetoric.

A few things make this book an absolute standout amongst other security books. First, the tone of the book is very casual. The book is written primarily as a discussion between you and the authors. Typically, security material is very dry to say the least. I found their writing style so easy to handle that I read this book for 4 hours the first time I picked it up.

The subtitle of this book is “From Perimeter to Data”. It totally lives up to that description. The book addresses security at every level including wired and wireless network security, VPN security, server security, desktop security, and application security. They also talk extensively about identifying attacks and methodology used to perform attacks against these different levels.

One of the most wonderful things about this book is that the authors dispel many of the commonly assumed idea’s about what is good security. They go over specific security settings in Windows and tell you what’s good and bad about them. They actively write about many commonly cited security principles and provide good strong arguments for why they are useless. As examples, they make a strong argument against using account lock-out. They ridicule disabling SSID’s in wireless environments. They also point out the faults of
