I bought five of these cables. Tried them for Blu-Ray – HD TV connection. Three caused flicker, two seemed to work OK. Different brand two HDMI cables I had (including one 20 foot long) worked fine on this connection.
40% reliability is very poor, but if these two keep working, I will consider myself lucky. I will use the other three for spanking my kids.
I consider this a lesser cheat than to sell cables for $120 apiece. But, I wouldn’t buy again.

I procrastinated for a very long time on this purchase and as others have already pointed out, I now ask myself, why did I wait this long? Mind you, I’ve only used it for three runs totaling about 17 miles but thus far I think I can justify a very positive review. For me it was relatively easy to set up. I explored some options before my 1st use and set up a few screens to accommodate running. Cycling will be next. This may well become as indispensable a tool for my workouts and training as running shoes are to running or a bike to cycling. Being able to monitor pace, speed, distance, time, caloric burn, and heart rate adds a scientific basis for making adjustments to my training regimen. The Garmin Workout Center is a great way to track/review your workouts. I’ve yet to explore all the features available with the 305 and there are many such as programmed workouts for running and cycling. One recommendation though, be sure you charge the device well before using. It seems the battery does drain even when it is turned off.
Bottom line, if you are serious about running and or cycling, I don’t see how you can go wrong in purchasing the Forerunner 305. With pricing at approx. a buck and a half it is a bargain.

I had heard so many good things about this book that I asked for it as a Christmas gift. As I always have a list of books I’m working through, it took me a while to get to this one and I was frankly disappointed. I haven’t had to suspend so much disbelief since the last episode of Lost! The author could have told a simple, nuanced story of racism and injustice toward black maids who served the white families of Southern families during the the Civil Rights era. Instead she pulls the stops out and crams into the novel an ever expanding litany of horror, until the tally begins to defy belief. All the white mothers were unloving and mean-spirited. “The League,” a small group of socially connected white women are so powerful that they totally dominated this CITY of 150,000 people, to the point that a black maid can never find a job in the region ever again, should Miss Hilly put the word out. That is totally unbelievable! Maybe this could happen in a small town, but the largest city in the state of Mississippi?
This could have been a beautiful book, where the author used a small story to illustrate a great wrong. Instead the author creates an antagonist in Hilly who is so over-the-top that by the end I expecting her head to turn around backwards and spit out pea soup. Perhaps if my expectations had not been so high, I would not have been so disappointed. This novel is okay if you like the type of overblown American novel where every example of injustice has to be larded on until the it defies one’s credulity. If you want to read a wonderful novel about injustice and racism during the Civil Rights era, read To Kill a Mockingbird. This is an insightful, beautifully written and lovingly nuanced novel. I would not recommend The Help.
