WE like our new scale just fine! It’s small and unobtrusive and I believe gives an accurate weight. I like this one better than all the others we researched and the price is right!
The Best of Friends
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.

Live Your Best Life
Colfer, E. (2001). Artemis Fowl. New York: Hyperion Paperbacks for Children.
Artemis Fowl is not only to tale of the ingenious and villainous Artemis Fowl, but also the Story of Captain Holly Short, the first female to protect the magical people by joining LEPrechaun force.
Artemis, whose mother is unwell since his father was lost in the Arctic, searches with his friend and protector, Butler, to restore the Fowl fortune. This leads Artemis into trouble with the magical world when he takes Holly hostage. From there Artemis must match wits with LEP’s best agents and one of the magical community’s sneakiest criminals.
The book allows students to question their own cultural norms, as humans are called Mud People and their (our) practices are called into question.
The story includes subtle environmental messages. It also blurs the lines between genres, as it includes both sci-fi and fantasy elements. But most of all, this is a fun series for the young action-adventure lover to become addicted to.
Plus, Artemis is a Mac user, the clever boy.
Activities to do with the book:
This is a book is a great adventure story to help to get students immersed in a story. It lends itself to role-play since students can have fun being a villainous and powerful child genius.
Since some complain that the Artemis Fowl books are hard to visualize, students could create their own illustrations to help with this or create their own adventures for some of the supporting characters.
Favorite Quotes:
“How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis’s own intelligence. He babboozles every test thrown at him. He has puzzled the greatest medical minds, and sent many of them gibbering to their own hospitals” (p. 1).
“The Mud People destroyed everything they came into contact with. Of course they didn’t live in the mud anymore. Not in this country, at least. Oh no. Big fancy dwellings with room for everything–rooms for sleep

The product was delivered almost the next day after I ordered and I was able to make use of it right away… It was fairly easy to assemble and I did not need any extra tools. It works great… I like the bigger tubs so I do not have to stop to empty and refill as often… very satisfied.

I agree with the African American reviewer who was offended by this book because of the dialect choices by the author among other things. This book takes great potentially very interesting subject matter and turns it into a soap opera cartoon that eventually just falls flat and never gets up. No cliche is left unexplored, no stereotype unused. There is no subtlety in the character development at all. And having said that I could have accepted the work and enjoyed it for what it was if it hadn’t been for the “Minnie’s pie” plot point. I’ll not go into detail but I will say that as a food person I recognized a character in Minnie that liked to feed people and took a lot of pride in her cooking. At one point she even says that cooking is just about all she has to be really proud of. A person like that does not do what she did to Hilly with her pie. That device was just wrong, offensive and disgusting. I will look for other material on this subject, source material, because it is a good topic, too bad it was ruined in this book.
