I really liked how this worked; like most reviewers I didn’t think it would stay on the dashboard or allow me to move it around–but it did. However, after some time it loses flexibility and stops gripping–that is, you can put it on your dashboard but it’s just lying there–it no longer has much/any traction and will easily fall off. I’ve done some dangerous things as I’ve lunged to keep it from flying off–now I never accelerate rapidly or turn sharply because it will fly off. I also have to push it further back on the dash (to a flatter place) than I would like visually to keep it from falling off.

I’ve had it now about a year although it hasn’t been “working” correctly for months. I live in a very hot climate which perhaps plays a role but it’s only on the dash when I’m driving; I hide the Garmin at all other times. So its exposure to high heat isn’t that bad.

I’m now buying a new one–which I suppose gives a mixed message. $23 for 6 – 8 months? Not terrible but far from wonderful.

5 star on this equiptment. I would purchase this scale again and recommend it to my friends

I first saw this on a shelf a couple years back and was intrigued by it but hadn’t picked it up to read it until my 8 year old insisted that it was an awesome story and that I’d love it. So, with him continually asking how I liked it, I read Artemis Fowl.

When asked by my wife about the plot, my best quick answer was that it is sort of an “evil Richie Rich carrying out a dastardly scheme against the world of fairies.” (For those unfamiliar with Richie Rich, he’s the super rich kid with tons of fun gadgets and crazy adventures to save his family/friends/world). In this case, the rich kid is 12-year-old Artemis Fowl, and his motives are less altruistic.

The writing was well done. It was written very simply and straightforward which was good considering the audience. It was something that a young reader could pick up and push through without getting bogged down by the language. The writing and dialog was natural and flowed well. Overall, very nice.

I have only 2 gripes about the writing itself:
1. Numerical consistency. Specifically, the phrasing “[something happened:] in as many [amount of time:].” You’ve likely heard this phrase before…along the lines of “He fell on his butt three times in as many seconds.” Which means he fell on his butt 3 times in 3 seconds. Colfer uses this phrasing enough that it got distracting to me, especially the times when he used it without a good frame of reference or without numbers. I don’t have the text with me to provide an exact example…but the memory I have is something like “he passed out again in as many minutes.” The numerical reference “again” isn’t really concrete (can be alluded to as it being 2 since it’s the second time) and the timeframe mentioned didn’t fit based on everything that happened in between.
2. Swearing. This is a book presumably for an audience of young kids. Through the first ~2/3 of the book, the author introduced a fairy swear word and used it a handful of times. The word itself is meaningless an

I was i bit worried to trust my expensive laptop to a non-OEM charger, but i have had this for several weeks and it works perfectly. I am glad I didn’t spend twice as much just to get the Apple branded one. I will be ordering 2 more (I like to move my laptop around to various places in the house and dislike the hassle of dragging the charger around).

It is a beautiful story about young love. I can relate to most of the feelings the girl had. I had them. It is like I would be reading about myself falling in love again with a guy in high school. The book grabbed me from the first page. It had a very interesting beginning. The girl acted simillar way to me but not all the way. The writer captured very nicely feelings that young girls experience when they fall in love. How they long to be around the guy that occupies their minds that they can not concetrate on other activities. I had them in more ways that I could ever describe. There were so many simillarities to me, that I felt like I have been reading my story through my eyes told to the writer. The language flows. There is great development of feelings. The book is about LOVE with added SUSPENSE towards the end.
Only there is one reason that I would not give the book five stars. It is that I like to read about love more mature a bit. The love is not childish but still too young for me to imagine myself in heroine’s shoes. I like heros older and not seventeen. I like more real issues adults are facing. But other than that the book is perfect.
Every young girl should read the book. The book is mesmorizing. It is hard to not fall in love with the characters. It is like having a dream…

Cable is excellent quality. Picure and sound are great and I dont notice any difference from my other older more expensive HDMI cables that have been purchased in the past.

My friend talked me into getting a Kindle. I thought I might be wasting money until I got it.
What fun! Since I love gadgets, this was right up my alley. The initial cost of the device was a lot but books are much cheaper than those in stores. If you love to read and you love gadgets, get this one. You won’t be disappointed!

This is the best scale we have ever had. It’s not only stylish but very accurate and easy to use. Just tap on the scale, wait a second for it to light up. It is very bright with big numbers. We are very impressed and glad we bought it. Highly recommend.

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.

Bike Rack. I expected Racor Pro PLB Freestanding Bike Stand to be a liitle more sturdy. The piece that holds the two straight pieces together could have been designed better.
