I’ve been very pleased with this pedometer. I had a cheaper one and this one beats it hands down! This was recommended to me by a friend and she loves hers also. Was a little skeptical spending more $$ on this one, but it was well worth it. Love all the features! Clip doesn’t always stay on the greatest, but I use the safety strap w/it and haven’t dropped it yet – would probably have lost it though had I not used the strap. Good motivation! Seems to be very accurate (not perfect, but way better than I had before – almost right on the dot)! Ended up buying one for my daughter and mother too! (They love theirs too!)

This is a very good book. It’s a fast read, despite its mammoth size. Granted, it’s no “It” by Stephen King, but it’s a pretty big book at a whopping 498 pages. I think this book could have been a lot better if it had been about a hundred pages less. Here’s my simple breakdown:

PROS:
The book reads fast, so each chapter seems to fly by. The relationships between the characters are real, the dialogue feels real, even the love seems real. Realism keeps a reader glued to the book & this book – despite its obvious vampire plot – is very realistic. It’s also very well written. Stephanie Meyer doesn’t say in ten sentences what she can say in five, and she doesn’t say in five what she can say in one. She’s succinct and an incredible writer. Most of the time. This makes for a quick and satisfying read, with all Bella & Edward’s high highs and low lows feeling familiar and plausible.

CONS:
Too much repetition. In attempt to posit the awkward, clumsy, and so-not-a-supermodel Bella against the suave, uber-hunk vampire Edward, Stephanie Meyer goes too far. My head started to swim after awhile with all the repetition. It’s like this: Bella sees Edward; he’s so handsome and suave and she’s such an awkward clutz! Things are awkward. Then Bella goes home & things with her dad are awkward. Then she goes to school, where, you guessed it, things are awkward. There’s also too much focus on Edward’s good looks. I found it to be clunky and expositional. Edward speaks from ruby red lips and his muscled arms and his chiseled chest, etc. etc. We get it: she’s average at best and he’s just the bee’s knees. We get it.

Also (and this didn’t bother me too much but I feel I have to include it in the “cons” section), I thought that for a downtrodden, sullen, loner with low self-esteem Bella acted awfully rude and arrogant to the kids at her school who were only trying to be nice and befriend her. You can’t get mad that you have no friends and no one understands you when you detach from everyo

I think that because this was required reading for me in High School when I read it I didn’t really absorb it because I felt forced to read something I wasn’t really interested in. Maybe because at that point in my life I was into bucking authority so some extent and, ironically much like the main character Holden Caulfield didn’t much like school. Now much later in life I decided to read it again to see why this book is still so popular nearly 60 years after it’s release.

Salinger was in his late twenties and early thirties when he wrote this book however it’s written like a teenager at the time might talk in terms of phrases, sentence structure, though processes etc,. and it’s very well written in that respect. It captures the angst and anger of youth, being somewhere between a boy and a man, wanting to be an adult but still having to rely on adults to a certain extent who are making decisions for you that you don’t necessarily agree with. This is the life of the books main character Holden Caulfield. Having re read the book I get it now. The story and emotions seemed familiar probably because I could reconcile it to my teenage years. I found Holden Caulfield to be fairly unlikable at times, he thought everything and almost everyone was dumb and then I wondered to myself was that peoples perception of me at times in my youth? At times inn my youth I was like Holden Caulfield in some ways. The last chapter of the book is Holden Caulfield reflecting on his youth . It really brought the book full circle and gives the reader a sense of Holden Caulfield the man being reflective on his youth.

The writing style in interesting because it’s written like someone is sitting with you telling a story keeping you involved in the conversation by using phrases like “I told you about that earlier” It’s writing in a one way conversational style.

Some of the phrases used in the book are a little Leave it to Beaverish by today’s standards. To off set that the God D… words app

I’ve been using the Garmin 305 for about a month now. I bought this unit because I wanted gps to measure my distance and pace as well as to track my hr during my runs, rides and track workouts. I thought the Garmin Forerunner 305 offered these characteristics at a reasonable price.

What I like: The elapsed time, pace and distance displays are easy to read and accurate. I have compared the Garmin distance data to my bike computer and they are remarkably close even on long rides. The data uploads to my computer quickly as an easy to read data table. I’ve been using a web-based running log for years and its easy to copy the data from the table to the log. The unit also recharges quickly.

What I strongly don’t like: I have been using a Polar HR monitor for a few years and have come to depend on the HR display like the tachometer of a race car. I use the HR to know how hard I’m pushing. This is especially important to me when racing and doing workouts. (Sometimes I feel tired and like I’m pushing hard but the HR may show I’m several bpm below my optimum so I could actually pick up my pace. Since I’m old, I also don’t want to be pushing too long over my optimum hr.) The hr display is almost microscopic on the Garmin 305. Seriously, I think the hr display is less than 1.5mm high. The hr display cannot be read while running.

The second thing about the Garmin 305 that I really don’t like I just discovered this past weekend. I was out of town without my computer but took my Garmin along to record my runs. Even though I ran on two different days the Garmin recorded both runs as one continuous workout.

Another annoying characteristic of the Garmin is it always takes several minutes to lock onto the satellites. Some reviewers have reported this to be the case only for the first few uses. Not true. My unit is always very slow to locate the satellites. Also, the Garmin 305 is not a chronograph. You will not know what time it is if you’re not also weari

The book came on time, however I ordered the book “new” not “new-ish” the book had a bent edge, part of the paper on protective cover was coming off, and was not wrapped in the original package. I ordered New Moon through a different company and the book not only arrived on time, but was in the original packaging. I will not use this company again.

This pedometer was great but the clip is terrible. I lost it within the first week that I had it. Think twice before buying!
