The Good: The harness will definitely keep your child safely in place. This seat will allow you to safely ride with your child.

THe Bad: First of all the seat (mine anyway) does not come off without a wrestling match. I doubt the wife could take it off. Maybe as it is taken on/off over time it will not be sooo tight?
Second, the blackburn rack that comes with this unit costs $50+, so plan for it if you think you might want the ability to move it between bikes. My wife was initially too scared to ride with the boy on the back, but now wishes we had a rack on her bike so she could take him out without me. I let her try to take the rack off…and she said no thanks to a 2nd rack anyway.
Third, kind of a small thing, but there are velcro straps to keep the feet safely in the seat. The velcro straps are mounted so low that the strap wraps around the toe portion of his shoe. He seems to find this uncomfortable and can work his feet free. A simple solution would have been to mount the straps up a couple of inches so that the strap limits the lower leg from getting out but still allowing for free foot movement.

OK…. the parade has passed by this old 2G iPod Touch. Now people are on to 3G with all the new bells and whistles (multitasking, voice commands, etc.) I say, “Let them go.” This 2G is just fine by me.

This is the first touchpad device I’ve owned. I never felt I needed something like this since I already have a cell phone, a netbook computer, various iPods and a Kindle. But after having purchased this, I find I use it much more than I thought I would, especially on my commute, and the Kindle, netbook, and old iPod stay at home more often.

It has all the functions of my old iPods so the music experience is the same as always… very good.

What I especially like about this device is all the apps that I can download or that come with the device. Since purchasing this, I’ve moved my calendar and appointments over to the Calendar Goo app that syncs easily with my Google calendar. Easy and convenient. Also nice is the ‘Weather’ app. Quick check before heading out the door and I’m good to go. I could go on about the apps but most people know the score. The iPod touch allows one to personalize the device and get just what one needs.

I will also mention that the Kindle app is great. Since buying the iPod Touch 2G, my Kindle has been collecting dust. I never liked the low contrast of the 2G Kindle…felt I was reading on grayish looking paper. Also no backlighting meant no reading in low light situations. With the 2G Touch, I don’t have to carry a 2nd device to read books. The Touch is smaller, so easier, to use on crowded trains. Also, it is backlit so low-light reading situations are no problem. Finally, the contrast is good. The print is black and the pages white. I have no problem with eyestrain. The app works fine and I can download my Kindle books quickly and easily. The biggest drawback for the Kindle app on the Touch is that highlighting text is a really frustrating activity. If what you want to highlight is located too near the edges o

Book Review of Artemis Fowl, by Eion Calfer

GREAT! (4 stars)
Artemis Fowl is an action packed suspenseful book. The action is constantly shifting and keeps you on your toes. You would think one thing was going to happen and it would then totally change to something else happening. The main character is Artemis Fowl, an eleven-year-old kid who’s a criminal mastermind and he has the highest IQ in Europe and he’s a millionaire. Other characters are his bodyguard Butler, and Holly Short, A LepRecon Captain. If you’re wondering, yes–she is a fairy. Artemis Fowl is an evil, greedy, selfish character. ” I don’t care if I put the world in grave danger, the world isn’t me, and I will be rich.”

Butler is a highly trained warrior-bodyguard for Artemis. “Very well captain the beast shall live another day. Luckily for him I’m in a good mood. Holly is the first girl LepRecon recruit. LepRecon is a swat, CIA, Special Forces team, for the Fairy’s. Artemis fowl is a book about Artemis Fowl who wants to steal some of the Fairy’s massive amounts of gold. This book is SCIFI realistic fiction book. Most of the time this book is set in Ireland but many other places too. A book I have read like this one is the young bond book. Its like the fowl books because it has lots hi-tech gadgets just like Artemis fowl books. And lots of the same suspense, life or death kind of suspense. But by far I think the Artemis fowl books are much better and that Eion Colfer made a great book worth reading.

Let’s see what the truth of God’s Word says (as it speaks for itself, without human word)in comparison to ‘Conversations of God’ false proclamation of God.

For ALL HAVE SINNED and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is DEATH, but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life in CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD (Romans 6:23). And just as it is appointed for a man to die once, and then comes judgement (Hebrews 9:27).

For it is BY GRACE you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the GIFT OF GOD, not by works, lest anyone should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9) but God demonstrated HIS OWN LOVE FOR US, in that WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS CHRIST DIED FOR US (Romans 5:8).
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

Genesis 2: 20b -23
But for ADAM(MAN)NO SUITABLE HELPER was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a WOMAN from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

Deuteronomy 4:2- Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.
Proverbs 30:5-6-”Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words,or he will rebuke you and prove you a LIAR.
Revelation 22:18-19 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this

I am a sixth grader. I have recently read the book Artemis Fowl. It was written by Eoin Colfer. This book is about a 12 to 13 year old boy who tries to figure out the lives of Fairies and Sprites. He is a criminal mastermind. He has a buff bodyguard for a butler; Artemis calls him Butler. Butler’s sister, Julie, is a maid at Artmesis’ mansion. Artmeis lives in the mansion with his sick mother. Commander Root is the Captain of all the fairies. Holly Short is the best trained fairy of them all. Sprites are basically the same thing as fairies. Sprites and Fairies normally die at around the same age, 2500 years. Throughout this book, they mainly just introduce the main characters. Artmeis tries to catch Holly Short to find out information about important fairy files. He does catch Holly Short and finds out a lot more about fairies. Root almost fired Holly Short for telling Artmeis about the important information about the fairy files. Artmeis took Holly’s fairy dust. Little did he know, that particular dust was not just ordinary dust. This was “fairy magic” dust. The bottle that contains the magic, said that the dust could heal human beings. Artemis began thinking that this magic dust might be able to heal his sick mother…
