I loved my first 305 so much, I couldn’t stand not having another. This model is reputed to be much better than its predecessor. Other than being a little smaller, I’ve not heard that the newer model is much of an improvement over the 305, so when mine died, I purchased another 305. I used the Forerunner for almost 5 years, frequently on a daily basis, with no problems whatsoever. Occasionally I would forget to check the status of the battery and get to a race, turn the 305 on and be greeted with a low battery warning. The Forerunner 305 would last at least through an entire 5K and I think one time I ran a 10K after receiving the warning. I don’t use all the bells and whistles so I can’t comment on those, but for a dependable, strap on and run GPS/heart rate monitor, you won’t be disappointed by the Garmin Forerunner 305. I think my original 305 just needs a new battery for the wrist unit because I can still get it to work for a short period of time; rather than get stranded without it, I purchased the new one but intend to replace the battery the next time I’m near an authorized service dealer if the price is right. Garmin wanted $90 to send the unit in for repair and it wasn’t much more than that to buy a new one.

I loved this book and the Saga is amazing. I borrowed the books from a friend, read them, and decided to read them again. I ordered this book and had it in no time. Good purchase.

I truly do not understand all the love this book is getting. The writing was stale and cliche. Nothing was actually believable as plausible. I did not find anything about this book exceptional or worthy of praise. The parts I hated most were the explicit and extremely overly detailed sex/sexual scenes. They added nothing to the story and really turned me off to the book and author. If the movie contains all the details of the book, it would have to be marketed as a porno. Even if those parts had been left out, or at least left something to the imagination, I still would not have thought it a particularly excellent book.

I recently flew with the Kindle and found that the airlines are being more clear that Kindles must be turned off during takeoff and landing, like other electronic devices. I left mine in sleep mode but kept it tucked away. The downside of the Kindle is that if you’re stuck on the tarmac for a long taxi and take-off, you can’t read your book, which I found very frustrating, so a magazine is useful to tote along as well.

Also, I prefer to carry it with me rather than leave it in a car on a hot day, which could damage the battery, so sometimes I have to tote it along even though I won’t be using it.

Other than those two issues, I love traveling with it!
Past the Summit Metaphors

A definite page-turner! Do not usually read books written about the past, this was fantastic. Great portraits of different women and their individual perspectives. I loved it.

I actually made it through this book to the end despite all its faults. I’m astonished at how much positive hype this book has received. I might give it 2 stars for the compelling concept, if it had not received so many unwarranted 5 star reviews. The dialogue is cute to the point of trite, character depth and development is cardboard thin at best and placement of the book believably in its time and place is virtually non-existent. In an interview at the back of the book the author mentions being a technical writer for tech firms. This is clear in the brittle, if well intentioned characters.

Let’s start this off with saying that I thought Holden Caufield, from J. D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, is one of the most disrespectful teens I’ve ever read about. Then I realized that most of his potty mouth or rude comments stay in his head. I though this character reminds me of me sometimes. What he thinks and what he does can be completely different things.

I thought this book was really good. The beginning is a little bit slow but Salinger really must have targeted the teen audience. Though a lot of people think this book should be read by college students, I think anyone in high or even upper middle school would be able to relate.

It makes me wonder what happens to Holden Caufield. I think his experience wandering around New York alone would help him learn that the world doesn’t revolve around him. As a teen I have to admit that at most time I think the same way. I think that Holden has a lot of potential and that he could live up to it if he really strived to. I would recommend this book, its funny and a nonstop page turner.

I’ve never written a recommendation before, and haven’t even finished this book yet – but I love it! How beautiful the main characters are! I feel as if I know them, and the subject is fascinating and informative. Everyone should read it.

I loved reading the book. Reminded me of my childhood in the South during the 50’s. I gave the cd to my mother for her birthday. My father listened to it too and they both really enjoyed it. Appeals to all age levels.

This Garmin portable GPS dashboard friction mount is much easier to use than the type that is attached to the windshield with a large suction cup mechanism, which is a dead giveaway that you probably have a (pricey) GPS in your car. (No smart person would leave the GPS itself in view of a potential thief, I would hope.) The Friction Mount can quickly and easily be removed and shoved under the seat or elsewhere. It’s also much easier to attach/remove the GPS to/from the mount. I’m happy with it.
