I love it. I love it. I love it. I bought the 305 to replace my Nike+ Ipod running system. Garmin 305 blows the Nike+ away in every aspect. I became extremely annoyed with the NIKE+ sensor’s inability to find the IPOD and the frequent loss of signal during a run.

If you are a person who likes information during your run, the Garmin is for you. I set up the main screne to show distance, pace and total time. Took a few runs to decide which categories provided the most relevant information. Garmin has increased my speed, knowledge of my performance and analysis following a run. I am now more aware of my natural increases and decreases in pace during a run. For instance, my 2nd mile in a 5k is always the fastest, so now I have learned that I should pick up the pace when I get the 2nd mile beep. I also set the Garmin to beep at me if my pace falls below a certain level. Often I start daydreaming and slow down. Then I get the beep and kick the pace back up. I love it that I can check my pace at any moment and analyze overall performace after the run.

My complaints about 305 primarily involve initial setup. It is a little tricky to manipulate/customize some of the features. However, spend an hour or 2 setting it up and you won’t be disappointed in the results. For example, it should be a default setting that a lap is equal to 1 mile and that the watch will beep at each mile. I also think the Garmin’s default ranges for classifications of slow jog, jog, slow run, run, sprint, etc are a little unrealistic for the average runner, but probably accurate for the above average runner.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Garmin 305. Everything that I wanted to customize was relatively easy to accomplish after a few minutes of tinkering.

Artemis Fowl is a criminal mastermind like no other. He has (by age 12)
gone through many thrilling criminal adventures and has yet to meet his
match in brains or technology. But when Artemis kidnaps a fairy he is in
for more than he thinks. The Fairies quickly send teams up to the surface to rescue their kidnaped friend. Has Artemis met his match?

Full of quick action, witty humor and excellent writing Colfer’s tale is a phenomenon of modern novels. Read it and you won’t be dissapointed.

In “The Help”, the characters are two dimensional and stereotypical, and aspects of the plot are contrived. Nevertheless, we care about the characters. Because we do, this book is an effective portrayal for those who did not grow up in the 50’s and 60’s of just how far our socity has progressed. For those who are from that era, it is quite an effective and evocative reminder.

Book Review of Artemis Fowl, by Eion Calfer

GREAT! (4 stars)
Artemis Fowl is an action packed suspenseful book. The action is constantly shifting and keeps you on your toes. You would think one thing was going to happen and it would then totally change to something else happening. The main character is Artemis Fowl, an eleven-year-old kid who’s a criminal mastermind and he has the highest IQ in Europe and he’s a millionaire. Other characters are his bodyguard Butler, and Holly Short, A LepRecon Captain. If you’re wondering, yes–she is a fairy. Artemis Fowl is an evil, greedy, selfish character. ” I don’t care if I put the world in grave danger, the world isn’t me, and I will be rich.”

Butler is a highly trained warrior-bodyguard for Artemis. “Very well captain the beast shall live another day. Luckily for him I’m in a good mood. Holly is the first girl LepRecon recruit. LepRecon is a swat, CIA, Special Forces team, for the Fairy’s. Artemis fowl is a book about Artemis Fowl who wants to steal some of the Fairy’s massive amounts of gold. This book is SCIFI realistic fiction book. Most of the time this book is set in Ireland but many other places too. A book I have read like this one is the young bond book. Its like the fowl books because it has lots hi-tech gadgets just like Artemis fowl books. And lots of the same suspense, life or death kind of suspense. But by far I think the Artemis fowl books are much better and that Eion Colfer made a great book worth reading.

garmin forerunner 305 remains the reference for GPS tracking of your heart rate monitored activities.
no extra sensors makes it suitable for all activites: running, biking, skiing, kayaking, trekking – you name it.
quite bulky, but nothing you cannot get used to – after all it is a tool, not an accessory.
garmin’s connect website is awesome with link directly to google earth and not least the player, which let’s you replay you route on a map, with indication of speed, heart rate and elevation – way cool.

This scale is unusual in several respects:
1. Very bright, well lit number pad. Very easy to read under any lighting conditions, but does require four AAA batteries.
2. Slow to self-calibrate after you place it on the floor or move it. You literally need to give it a minute to settle down.
3. Slower to decide on your weight than other scales.

I called their customer service and they called back within minutes. They said that they WANT users to realize that the scale is calibrating and so they intenionally don’t make it appear like it is ready to use when it really is not.

Seems like they value accuracy over speed. That is a fair trade-off, just be sure it is the tradeoff that you choose when you purchase the scale.

It does have a beautiful look. I put it on my wood floor and you can see the walnut grain of the floor through the glass. Nice.

I have had my Garmin Forerunner for 4 months now. PROS: Display is nice, easy to customize, easy to read. Have not had issues with locating satellites outside. Heart rate monitor works well. Love the ability to have virtual partner, set alarms for goals, etc. CONS: COMPUTER SOFTWARE and CUSTOMER SUPPORT! Initially everything worked perfectly. A couple weeks after I had used the device, I searched for software updates and the program said there was an update available. I downloaded the update then had major issues with transferring data and storing information on the computer. Numerous communications with customer service yielded poor responses and ineffective solutions. Independent research discovered that the so called ‘update’ was actually an earlier software version than the one I had loaded and not a more recent update. Wound up having to remove software and reload original, then it worked fine…UNTIL…a couple of days ago. I tried to customize a workout on the software and transfer the workout to my device. All seemed fine until I tried to then download my data after the workout. The device read “Transfer Complete” but the Training Center gave me an error message saying Trouble Communicating with Device…make sure it’s plugged into the computer then try again. Contacted customer support without reply. Seems like this device works well when you don’t try to customize anything or transfer from software onto device. I am VERY disappointed w/ this product and the support from Garmin.

I was a sceptic at first, but wanted to see what all the hub, hub was about. I will admit I did see the first movie before reading the book and liked the movie.Read the book in a day, bought the second, read it in a day, had to have the third and fourth. Loved them all. Don’t believe some of the hype, Jacob a pedophile etc. etc. If he was considered one, I submit Edward could have been considered one also because of his age. This pooey takes away the HEART from the real story…
