This is a Casio basic watch. However, do not be fooled by the cost. This is an excellent timepiece. Bought it for my wife. She enjoys the accuracy and loves that purple background face.

Ordered Wii to exercise, we ar nearly 80. We got FIT games, enjoy bowling, golf, baseball. Thought it would include exercise series used by our daughter, but find we have to have balance board; unable to find balance board for purchase. Expensive, think the descriptions of games, accessories on AMAZON should be more complete. Find Wii still not completely available in stores. Would not buy again for our ages!

I have had my kindle for a few weeks now. I have read six books on it and love it. I read a lot–two or more books a week and have enjoyed it immensely. It “feels” better than a real book. Wish I had had one years ago. I have downloaded about fifty books–all but one free. Not bad, huh?

I love this steamvac! It worked just like it was supposed to. My carpet is light beige and was very dirty. I was very happy with the results after cleaning the first time. By going very slowly and following the directions, the carpet dryed VERY quickly. I did have to empty the dirty water container often, but that only helps dry the carpet faster. Just follow the directions closely and you will have no problems.

Once I programed the unit I checked it against a known distance and found it to be very accurate.

I read this book as I read all books – in bed just before I go to sleep. Usually I devote ½ to 1 hour to such reading. This book? Migod – I went `overtime’ – and when I turned out the light, thinking about it kept me awake.

I’m 78 – I remember the 60’s and the things we read about in the paper – the horrors of violence and the irrationality of separate facilities, the black children approaching the white school – their faces blank as catcalls & insults were screamed by the crowd; the whites with faces so distorted with hate that they look like caricatures. The assassinations, the random cruelty and murders – they were only a quick step away from Hitler’s treatment of the Jews.

I’m a damn Yankee – born & bred but I have known these women who populate this book. We all do. Today, in the schools, they’re known as the `mean girls’ – and when they graduate into home making & motherhood they’re known as `queen bees’. In the South of the 50’s and 60’s, their behavior had darker implications. They drew a curtain of gentility over the ugliness of racial relations.

Some people have criticized the author for using dialect for the black women but not for the white, however – it would have been difficult to determine who was speaking – and after all – dialect marked one of the great divides between whites and blacks at the time.

Despite the serious subject of the book, there’s plenty of humor in it and the interactions of the characters- black on black, white on white and mixing the two leads to some interesting and funny situations.

I’m going to go out on a limb here. Let me get right to the point: This is a terrible book.

Harsh? Maybe, but that’s how it is. About the time Artemis Fowl hit the market, I heard it claimed that Eoin Colfer was 14 when he wrote it. On some simple checking of dates, the claim seems unlikely (he was 36 when it was published). But the book is so badly written that it’s believable. If this was fanfic, everyone would be pointing at the protagonist and shouting “Gary Stu! Gary Stu!” (If that doesn’t ring any bells, try looking up “Mary Sue” instead.) The descriptive style … well, what can one say about the descriptive style? Phil Foglio uses some very similar characterisations in his Myth books. (Compare Guido and Nunzio to Fowl’s butler, for example.) The difference is, Foglio is writing humorous — and occasionally risqué — parody (and doing a good job of it) … but Colfer is serious. And it just doesn’t work. The characters are cardboard and flat; the plot is predictable and stereotyped, and yet manages to strain even a teenager’s willing suspension of disbelief with its excesses of “But wait, there’s more.”

Granted, this is supposed to be “young adult” fiction. But so is Harry Potter; and the qualkity of writing and plot development in Harry Potter are so far above Artemis Fowl that there’s scarcely any comparision. I know if anyone had given me a copy of Artemis Fowl when I was a “young adult”, I’d have been insulted that they thought my reading level was so low.
