Garnier Fructis Curl Sculpting I bought this after contacting garnier to ask about what product might be a good replacement for the soft curl cream that they no longer make. They told me that this product was not exactly the …

Think of a juvenile James Bond with an IQ beyond Einstein’s. Then throw him in a world of technologically superior fairies, and the fun can begin.

And this is really what Artemis Fowl is about, first and foremost: FUN.

Some might say it reverts too easily to stereotypes, but I am not sure whether this is actually a bad thing. Too much depth, too much complexity in character development, might have taken the umpf out of the sheer fun ride I’ve had in reading Artemis.

The basic idea of the book–for those new to Fowl’s world–is that there is an underground world of fairies who go to great pains to keep their existence a secret from the human upper world. Until Artemis, a young criminal master mind, tracks down the fairies and upsets the whole balance of the worlds above and below ground.

In summary: Don’t expect the symbolism of Narnia, the metaphysics of His Dark Materials, or the detail of Harry Potter. Artemis Fowl doesn’t have any of those. Instead, expect to be blasted away by the explosive energy of a fun novel.

Opteka 85mm f 1

Good case, people made it seem that its larger than it really is. The only bad thing about the case is that only fits apple chargers If you have another charger for your iphone it might not fit if its bigger than the iphone charger.

I move around alot – pretty much yearly – and end up selling most of my belongings and buying new when I get to my new destination. I’ve been doing that for 12 years. This is about my 10th vacuum and it is by far the WORST I’ve ever owned.

On tile floors it spits debris right back out at you! I tried vacuuming up some spilled oats and it made it worse!

On carpet it’s not any better! I live in an apartment with new carpet. That means lots of carpet fuzz, right? This vacuum, as you use it in a room, will leave little hairball or fuzz balls in its path. No joke. I thought at first maybe the bag was full or that the spinning things on the bottom were jammed – so I cleaned everything and tried again. Same result every single time. It’s just a pathetic piece of junk.

If you don’t really want your floors cleaned, then buy this.

good not great. This lens is the perfect walkabout lens covering 23-135 with the 1.6 factor.

Distortion is at a minimum, and although not a fast lens, the IS makes even hand held shots sharp.

The downside of this lens is that both in sunlight, and in studio flash conditions chromatic aberration (purple/green fringe) is evident in all shots. Granted Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM UD is less pronounced than with the cheap kit lens (for the 7D) but none the less at 1:1 resolution there is chromatic aberration in every shot where dark and bright come together in high contrast.

The Canon software that comes with DSLRs does a very good job of removing the fringe from photos, however that means unlike Nikon’s in-camera processing of the image to remove fringe, an extra manual step of doing that on the Canon is necessary for any images that are more than casual snapshots.

If you want 1 lens for a very wide to slight tele range, this is probably the best thing available for 1.6 crop factor. However even if the price is near L lenses, this is not an L lens and it will be apparent when zooming in 1:1.
