The Help is a fun read. I found it to be suspenseful with endearing characters. It kept me moving along with a good amount of speed. At times, the thick southern dialect interrupted the flow, but I eventually adapted. Overall, I thought it was a wonderful story. The characters were believable and I appreciated their complexity. It has all the components of a good book: drama, reads briskly, and leaves one thinking about it long after you finish. A perfect vacation read. Reviewed by: C.J.

I researched a few of the Garmin units before deciding on this one. I looked at the 405 and the newly released 110, and after comparing the features and cost I went with the 305. I couldn’t be happier. It is a little larger than the others but after wearing it a couple times I don’t even notice. The amount of data that it collects is great to go back and analyze, and you can see how you were doing at specific portions of a race.
In addition the 305 gives the option of using the footpod (indoors) and a cadence sensor (bicycle).
Would definitely recommend to others and would buy again.

I bought this item after experience shortage of darts while playing with my 2 daughters. We kept on having to stop the game to pick up darts. After getting this, we can keep on playing for a long time. We’re losing these darts like crazy though. Blame it on all the junks in the house my wife bought.

We have bought, borrowed and rented carpet cleaners but never has there been a more perfect one at cleaning than this one! We’ve used it several times so far and no problems. It is a workable size and easy cleanup. We are extremely happy with it.

I just got this vacuum, and it seems to work fine. However, the design is very flawed. I had a hoover vacuum prior to this which was purchased in 1996. It recently broke, which is why I bought this one. Two things that really, REALLY bug me:
1) The old vacuum had a storage compartment for the extension wand tools right below and in front of the top handle. There was a clear/see-through plastic lid which you had to lift to access the 3 tools. This new vacuum does not have this handy compartment-the tools are placed separately behind the vacuum in different places.
2) In the old hoover, the hose was stored on the RIGHT side of the vacuum. All you had to do was drape it over a piece of plastic on the right side and then stick it in its hole at the bottom. The wire was coiled in the back. In this new vacuum, the hose goes BEHIND the vacuum, RIGHT behind the wire. So you have this mess of coiled wire and a coiled hose (and don’t forget the tools)….what the…?!?! A very fatal design flaw, in my opinion. Really, hoover? REALLY? Come on, this is 2010, your 1996 product made much more sense in terms of design.
Even though the old vacuum had a 7.3-amp motor compared to the 12-amp one in this vacuum, it was still a powerful vacuum with great design. It lasted 14 years and helped me tremendously…God bless the “Hoover Dimension Limited” vacuum. This new vacuum has some pretty large shoes to fill, so to speak.

I love my kindle. I can’t say enough about it, however, when the company reduced the price and I had only had mine five days, I was livid. I wrote a “note” to them expressing my opinions on what they had done and how unfair I felt it was. I had read several posts stating they would not refund the $70 to anyone. I told them I felt people who had purchased the Kindle within the past thirty days were entitled to a refund and I definitely felt I deserved it after only having it five days.
I am more than pleased to inform they have refunded my $70 which verifies to me they are a customer orientated company and they do care what their customers think. I have been a loyal customer for years and when the price decrease came to the surface, I told them they weren’t the only company to buy from and it would be interesting to see how they would handle the situation with the customers. They have proven to be reputable, responsible and sincerely concerned about their customers when they notified me they had refunded the $70.
I will continue to be a loyal customer strictly because of the positive action they took immediately. I do appreciate what they did and I feel they did exactly as they should under the circumstances.
I can now enjoy my Kindle even more knowing that I didn’t get “ripped off” and also, “I never leave home without it”.
Thanks Amazon for proving your loyalty to at least one customer!

My daughter ordered this. I’ve never seen anything like it. We “furminate” our yellow lab once a day in the warm weather. She loves it, and each time she leaves a whole other lab behind. This small product is going to put the vacuum cleaner companies out of business. Bravo!

I absolutely love my forerunner 305! I was not a serious runner until I decided that I was going to run the Marine Corp Marathon this year. When I first started training I had to drive my routes to guage my miles. I had no idea how to monitor my heart rate and tracking my runs on paper was time consuming. Now I just push start on my forerunner and run. The forerunner tracks just about everything.
I’ve read some reviews about inconsistencies with satellites but I must say my forerunner locates satellites within seconds of turning it on. It has never lost a signal (even when I run tree lined trails) I can customize my training sessions and track my progress with easy to read software. Just sync the forerunner to your computer and all your run data is downloaded.
This item is a must have if you are training for any type of running race.
