I love my garmin watch. I don’t have to stick to a particular route on my training runs in order to keep up with my distance because my forerunner keeps up with that for me. I also use it so that I can make sure I am staying within my desired pace. During races, I always know exactly how far I’ve gone and what my time is so I can adjust my speed to meet my goals rather than having to wait for mile markers to figure that out. I think it is a must have for anyone who runs no matter what your distance or fitness level is.

The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.
The First Years 2

So I bought this book because I’ve seen it in stores/online/etc. I didn’t like it too much, I like Artemis and Butler but that’s about it. I bought the second to see if it was better than the first, it was. I bought the third to see if it was better than the second, it was. I bought the forth to see if it was better than the third, it was. And I bought the fifth because I liked the rest, and the fifth was awesome.

What I’m trying to get at is, don’t be turned off by the first, because THEY DO get better.
Years By One Thousand

This book has stirred up at least 44 people! I am sure they made sure they went through every positive review (over 1,500) and made sure they marked NO it did not help. That is the wonderful thing about America we all have a right to our own opinion, and of course I have mine. I took my time reading this book, mulling over the characters and their situations. I grew up in Wyoming during this time and of course we didn’t see much of this out west, however I know it happened. For someone to say it wasn’t possible isn’t in reality. (well maybe their own reality). Of course we wouldn’t want to think it could happen, however they are not the only ones that were thought of as less than human. There were many ethnic groups that suffered horribly, this is one story about how it really was “back then.”

The part that stood out to me occured when Ms. Skeeter’s mom decided not to die, and got better. That was a gem embedded in this story, she made up her mind to live. How many of us need to do just that, decide to live. Great Book. Now those of you who have a mind to; knock yourself out creaming my review!

In the late 70’s there appeared a totally bizarre and depraved shock rock band in Denmark. Their frontman was none other than present day Metal icon King Diamond. What this disk contains is what it says. Over an hour of rehearsal time laid down on tape and surprisingly clear and professional sounding. Nothing is edited out here, so you get to hear all the between song antics within the studio. (some of which are pretty funny) Also you’ll hear the band mess up and start over. The actual songs themselves are played excellently with hardly any mistakes.If you like Merciful Fate and King Diamond but have never heard of the King’s first band, you may be a bit surprised. The band’s style lies somewhere between 70’s style Prog rock and Heavy Metal. I hear elements of Early Judas Priest, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Early Genesis, Kansas, Yes, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Black Sabbath. King’s voice hadn’t developed into the psychotic animal we know and love today. He sounded more like a a hybrid of Alice Cooper and early Rob Halford. Also the lyrics, while dark, twisted and quite morbid (try Kill For Fun, or I Need Blood), they didn’t touch on satanic themes at all. In the liner notes King talks about some of their on stage theatrics, including pig’s eyes, blood, and entrails; stabbing baby dolls, setting off bombs, and other disgusting and loony things. So if you like shock rock, prog, or are a major King Diamond fan, check out Black Rose. You’ll be enlightened for sure.
