I don’t know why I waited so long to update my software…. this is easy to install and easy to use. I researched before I bought and Amazon was best price. I am a little old lady with mediocre computer skills, and I needed this for club work. What I wanted to know before I bought was 1. will it screw up the stuff I already have on my computer? NO. And 2. will I be able to use it easily? YES.

This is an excellent heart rate monitor with the standard features (max, min alarms, time in and out of zone etc…) its also an excellent stop watch. I download the data using Suunto’s Activity Monitor software – which allows you to export the data to Excel! Plotting HR versus altitude is very useful for training.
I only have a few minor complaints: (1) Battery life is terrible – this thing (and the chest strap) eat up 4 batteries a year. (2) When battery life starts to fade interference is a big issue – fortunately the data can be edited so you can remove “spikes”. (3) PC interface is serial cable – should be USB. (4) Suunto software is veru buggy and crashes all the time (no data lost fortunately)

They’ve got a world class pitcher, a leadoff sprinter, a spunky switch hitter, a silent outfielder, and now a living cannon! However, that’s not even enough members to form a team yet Ryo and her friends still have a long road ahead. And to make matters worse the roadblocks being throw up by the league officials are keeping the teams dreams in a glass cage. They’ll have to find a woman brave enough to step in front of and catch Ryo’s “volcanic heat” as well as three more girls. A mysterious girl hides in the shadows, friend or foe? A ditsy aspiring model makes an appearance but doesn’t seem to have the skill to make the make the cut. They still don’t have a clean up batter either. And if that wasn’t enough, Ryo’s rival comes forward with a challenge that could bury the team forever!

Eoin Colfer has earned my undying admiration: He writes a truly entertaining and unique youth novel. Artemis Fowl is complex, it’s unpredictable, it’s imaginative, it has some gruesome descriptions, and it is really, really good.
Colfer’s focal point is the wanna-be evil boy genius. He’s all genius, but he can’t quite bring himself to be truly evil, and the conflict in character is fascinating to read. Colfer latches on to a real problem that so many youth identify with, sadly–the absentee parents for reasons that even they can’t always help. Although Colfer acknowledges this issue, he doesn’t preach, he just lets it be, and allows Artemis to make his own mess and dig his way out.
Colfer’s imaginative LEP unit and Foaly are great fun to read. I can’t wait to get into the second novel, and I would not hesitate to recommend this series to any upper elementary/middle school aged reader, either in years or at heart. 
Order the series without reserve and enjoy!

The actual main character (Artemis Fowl) was despicable. I doubt I will read anymore of these “Foul” books. I gave this two stars only because I really liked the main fairy Holly and had to finish the book to find out if her and her compadres were okay. The book should center around them instead of an unlikable snotwad like Artemis Fowl.

When I first contemplated buying a GPS unit, I was not happy to read that the units mounted on a suction cup device that attached to an automobile’s windshield. I have had experiences in the past with suction cups on glass, and these experiences were always less than satisfactory. I was even more dismayed when I asked friends with a GPS unit about their suction cup mounting experience. Consequently, I ended up searching the Internet for an alternative mounting solution, and that’s when I stumbled upon the Portable Friction Mount. After reading through dozens and dozens of user and a few professional reviews, I ordered the Portable Friction Mount at the same time that I ordered my Garmin Nuvi 1390T. The mount is wonderful!
The Friction Mount was easier to assemble than it was to cut open its packaging. And, adjusting the GPS unit in the Mount is similar to adjusting your car’s rear view mirror. During the past 5 weeks that I have been using it under normal driving conditions, it has not moved one iota from its position on my Honda dashboard. I am very impressed with its gripping ability. At the same time, the size of the Mount has not interfered at all with my field of vision when I’ve been driving. And further, as other reviewers have pointed out, the Mount allows you to easily remove your GPS equipment out of sight, if theft is a concern. I take my GPS unit with me, and I stow the Mount in the trunk of my car.
All of this said, however, I do have one reservation about this Mount. That is, if an individual was in (heaven forbid) a car accident, could the Mount become a dangerous missile during impact, or since it is weighted, would it tumble harmlessly onto the car’s center console and/or the floor? I haven’t been able to find an answer.
Nevertheless, at this point, I am very satisfied with this Portable Friction Mount, and I have recommended it to several friends who have GPS units and are unhappy with their suction cup mounts.

First let me preface by saying that I do not review items often. However I was such taken aback by the quality of this piece of tech that I thought it deserved at least a few words. It arrived very quickly from the states (I’m based in the UK) excellent service, I placed the order on friday midday and then by Monday it was here! that is great service. The device feels really slick and smooth..the e-ink display is super crisp and crystal clear to read. very good contrasts and you can really appreciate the 16 shades of grey. it completely disappears after the first few lines. I turned it on straight out of the box and a few of my purchases were there waiting. the wireless system is very speedy, checked the kindle store just to see what it was like speed-wise. very fast and quick to download items. i really cannot fault this wonderful piece of kit!

This book will resonate deeply in all those whom are ready to access your inner voice. It’s logical and meaningful. If you are looking for answers that make you say “wow, that feels right”,….answers that you can’t find in societies ‘religious institutions’ you have found the right book!
