Just got this scale. It turns on as soon as stepped on and the size of the display is great for these “ole” eyes. Seems accurate. Checked it a couple of times when it said that several days in a row my weight was the same so I got some items to hold onto and the scale changed. Very attractive too. For me the big thing was the size and how bright the display is and that the weight is displayed for a short while after you step off.

Greats apps!! Fast!! easy & portable. The only complain is that it has not web cam and the itunes is not easy as always to use.

but probably better! I really knew almost nothing about these books other than it’s about a young criminal mastermind, basically he’s an all-around genius. The fact that the story contains fantasy creatures like fairies and centaurs was something by which I was unaware and pleasantly surprised.
The story starts cryptically with young Artemis and his bodyguard Butler searching for something of great value (for a host of reasons). Artemis’ plot to kidnap a fairy for the ransom gold unfolds and seems inplausible in our real world but just another day at the office for the boy. And one seemingly flaw in Artemis’ plan keeps you guessing, resulting in astonished glee at his genius.
The story sucks you in and is ejoyable to the core. The characters are believable and identifiable. I enjoyed this so much more than I would have imagined and I think you will too. (By the way, the audio versions are excellent; the narrarator really bring the characters to life.)
Galt Giant Soft Book
This is not really a film about Mozart at all. Peter Shaffer the English playwright read some of Mozart’s letters which suggested that his sense of humour was rather focused on fart jokes and chamber pots. He wrote a play which was basically about the composer Antonio Saleiri who was older but a contempory of Mozart. Saleiri was a person who was succesfull in material terms and was also a person who had considerable skills and became a court favourite in Vienna. As a musician however he was not that talented and although his music was alright it has not ever been seen as the work of a genious and is played only occasionally as a curiosity.
Schaffers play was about Saleiri and his jealously over Mozarts talent. Through the play he is tormented by the fact that whilst Mozart writes music as beautiful as that heard in heaven Saleri’s music is at best pedesterian. Further that this is all so undserved as Mozart was so crass. It of course is a further irony that although Saleri hated Mozart he was one of the few who could appreciate the genius of his work. Otherwise Mozart was not that popular and many thought his music overly complex.
Now what has happened is that this play has been sort of adapted for film. Instead of Mozart cracking fart jokes at every spare opportunity he is made to appear vulgar. His music in played through the film in short bits and his father is made to appear a tyranical character.
The reality of Mozart’s life is of course different than this. He very much reflected the time with his sense of humour and the way he expressed himself. The notion of him being a vulgarian is simply a creation of Schaffer’s play. The film thus presents a rather unrealistic portrait of his life and it also paints others of the period in the same way. The Emperor Joseph is played as a clown despite the fact that he could sight read music play the piano well and was a person of considerable interlect.
If one knows a bit about Mozart the film is thus a bit irr
Amadeus Blu ray Book
To put is simply, Colfer has a gift for taking excellent research of Irish mythology and giving it a modern and technical twist. That makes for plenty of wry, clever humor for this smartly paced book.
It’s a great concept: child criminal mastermind, big tough bodyguard. The little people with their gold.
It pokes fun of itself and all of its crazy characters as well as the entirity of Irish mythology. I appreciate the lengths Colfer has gone to, and the action is hilarious and well-done.
It’s not what I could call timeless fantasy, but it certainly is worth the popularity it holds.

i realise this book is of note given the time it was published and its stayle, however i think in todays age it is decidely average and ot worth reading unless you have a desire to get a perspective of what would have been revolutionary at the time of its publication.
