I did a thorough review of the brands and hard drives available at the time, quite worried about all the horror stories of lost data. We use this as our main home hard drive, swapping it between our 3 computers. We move it around a lot, and the anti-shock housing makes us feel better than other models we have. Also it has some grippy rubber ou its outside, so is less likely to slip and fall (which we all know can be fatal to our data). After a few month using it, it has served us very well!!

I’m going to go out on a limb here. Let me get right to the point: This is a terrible book.

Harsh? Maybe, but that’s how it is. About the time Artemis Fowl hit the market, I heard it claimed that Eoin Colfer was 14 when he wrote it. On some simple checking of dates, the claim seems unlikely (he was 36 when it was published). But the book is so badly written that it’s believable. If this was fanfic, everyone would be pointing at the protagonist and shouting “Gary Stu! Gary Stu!” (If that doesn’t ring any bells, try looking up “Mary Sue” instead.) The descriptive style … well, what can one say about the descriptive style? Phil Foglio uses some very similar characterisations in his Myth books. (Compare Guido and Nunzio to Fowl’s butler, for example.) The difference is, Foglio is writing humorous — and occasionally risqué — parody (and doing a good job of it) … but Colfer is serious. And it just doesn’t work. The characters are cardboard and flat; the plot is predictable and stereotyped, and yet manages to strain even a teenager’s willing suspension of disbelief with its excesses of “But wait, there’s more.”

Granted, this is supposed to be “young adult” fiction. But so is Harry Potter; and the qualkity of writing and plot development in Harry Potter are so far above Artemis Fowl that there’s scarcely any comparision. I know if anyone had given me a copy of Artemis Fowl when I was a “young adult”, I’d have been insulted that they thought my reading level was so low.

It is so much fun using the Garmin 305. I bought it a year ago in order to push my motivation since I train by myself.
Once you adjust the screens according to your personal needs, It becomes easy to use, very friendly and accurate.
It’s a big watch, but it’s not heavy at all and it fits very comfortably around the wrist. And you can check the screen easily while you are running.
Useful for all types of trainig: Speed work, pace run, repetitions, everything can be programmed in advanced, and you can even run either against the watch, with the virtual partner feature or against your own previous runs. Excelent aid for a race. You are able to check your pace per kilometer and your heart rate without pushing any button, with the autolap function, and from there, adjust your effort in relation to the length of that race.
The only problem I had was at downloading my training programs and courses from the computer into the watch, It gave me some headaches, and I never managed to do It right, the computer wouldn’t recognize the information when I tried to upload it back again, so I decided to ignore that feature. Other than that and in spite of that problem, I love my watch, and I highly recomend it.
