31 PC ULTIMATE SUPER

Waste of time. This book is fine for what it was intended for: young TEEN girls, but even then I’d rather not have them read it. The relationship between Edward and Bella is nothing but unhealthy. He not only stalks the girl while she is sleeping (can we say creepy?), but he is demeaning to her at nearly every turn.

With that aside, just the book itself is droll enough to make me loose brain cells. The characters are one dimensional at best with no personality. The only reason the plot progresses at all is because of Bella’s clumsiness, which was probably only given to her so the author could move the book along. I mean, none of the characters have enough personality to fill a paper bag much less help create an actually decent plot. The only one that had something of a personality would be Alice Cullen, and even that is barely a spark.

Besides the incredibly flat characters, the book too unbelievable for words. First off, Edward and Bella barely know each other and yet are head over heels, will die for him/her LOVE. Not just interested or really like each other, but LOVE. Now, I can see Bella having some sort of infatuation with Edward, seeing as how he saved her life multiple times and all. I do not see her being in LOVE though. Maybe mistaking it, but not I’ll kill myself type. As for Edward, no way. Just no. I mean, what would a 100+ year old vampire want with a 16 year old girl besides a nice meal? Also, the way he is portrayed, he seems like a high school brat to me, not a centuries old vampire. Now, it’s one thing when he is pretending around others, but even when it doesn’t have to, it still acts like an immature dolt. Oh, who sparkles…

Speaking of unbelievable things, why, WHY would a vampire ever return to high school over and over again? He could easily pass as a young looking 21 year old. I mean, eternal life and you want to spend it in high school forever? Surrounded by immature beings for all eternity? No thanks. Hell would probably be more pleasur

Artemis Fowl
Eoin Colfer

The main character is Artemis Fowl 12-year-old boy is a cunning evil crook mastermind that won’t stop until he gets his hands on fairy gold. Another character is Captain Holly Short who is a magical elf on LEPrecon and has no time to “refuel” her magic so her magic is very weak.

The plan for Artemis is that he will take a fairy hostage for large sums of fairy gold! He is doing this evil mastermind scheme so that he can restore the Fowl’s family reputation and fortune.

The setting of the story takes place at a lot of different locations but mostly and the Fowl mansion and it goes on for a long 10 days.

The theme of this story I would say is probably thinking one step a head of your “opponent”.

I liked the story because you could never put the book down. It always kept you guess on what would the next step be for the LEPrecon force and how would Artemis react.

I was truly skeptical until I received the Hoover Tempo Widepath by mail (received an email to advise purchase would come by mail unable to deliver at address – still do not understand this – UPS & FEDEX come to property….anyway I received it in less that a week!). The first thing I did was put the handle on and remove a few pieces of tape and placed the exterior parts in their appropriate spaces – then turned it on….whoa! I was ‘in love’ with an inanimate object! The best vacum cleaner I have ever purchased including 2 other more expensive Hoovers plus a Richoe that cost over $350. I have two dogs that both shed, bare wood floors, marble, high and low carpet – it sucked like a champ! Thank you Amazon – you represented yourself well with this product and your online services for purchasing – I bought a package of bags and belts along with the vacum and all came together. Also, I thought after receiving the belts that I had purchased the wrong ones – called the vendor – left a message and received a call back with instructions for return/exchange of the belts within in 24 hours. Turned out the belts sent to me were correct and all is well…..thanks again and again!

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
Professional PRO 72 Super

We just got this for our daughter and she will be 4 months next week. She loves it and so do we! She loves the crinkly sounds of the parrots wings. She is just starting to reach and grab for things now and I really think that if we had this for her sooner, she would have started doing it sooner. Also, this is so easy to fold and go with you. I really recommend this product and I would strongly encourage buying it early becuase it will really help baby’s development.

I have now owned my Ipod Touch for over 3 months and I still love it as much today as the first day that I got it. It can hold a ton of music and video with the 8 GB memory and I reasonable number of applications. Currently I have about 650 songs, 10 music videos and over 100 applications and I still have about 1 GB of memory leftover. If you are considering buying an Ipod Touch with larger memory I would really consider whether or not you will ever need that much space because I think this model has plenty of memory for the average user. The music function of the Ipod Touch is very similar to my previous 3rd Generation Ipod Nano. The main difference is that it has an option to shake and change or shuffle the current song. One other option is Genius which will create playlists for you and suggest songs that might be to your liking.

The Ipod Touch is really a lot like a laptop that fits in the palm of your hand. You can browse the net and do most everything you can do on a laptop except you can’t view video’s that require flash player because it’s not compatible with the Ipod Touch.

You can also download applications directly from I-Tunes and there are thousands of applications to choose from with many being added every day. Most of the applications are no more than a dollar a piece. For that charge you can add them to multiple Ipod Touches if you have them setup on the same I-Tunes account. There are also many free applications that are a lot of fun. Often when a new application is released, they will offer it free for a limited time in order to get people to try and rate it. It pays to check the I-Tunes store everyday because you never know what you will find.

The Ipod Touch has a built-in and hidden speaker which is nice but don’t expect amazing sound from it. You may want to consider purchasing exterior speakers for better sound.
