With a slower DSL internet connection it took several hours (5 hours) to download. This was quite time consuming and inconvenient.

The story kept me interested throughout. I liked the main characters, and I would like to know some of the secondary characters better, the two cops, Ray and Mason, and Jack's old partner Alex, in particular. I learned just enough to make me want to know more - hopefully in subsequent novels.

Have used it now for 8 or 10 rides. Despite being smaller, the higher resolution screen is even better. No trouble pairing old heart rate monitor, speed monitor, and power meter. Very much enjoying the blue tooth connection that allows me to see texts and call identities without having to look at phone. The interaction with the new Connect app on iPhone is also nice. Also automatic uploading to Garmin Connect and Strava removes one step from my postride activities. I have had one false-alarm incident detection event. Unfortunately I didn't catch it in time to disable and it scared my wife, but good to know that it works. I'm guessing that hitting a bump in the road while riding exceptionally slow set it off, since I've hit much worse bumps going fast that didn't do so. Some people have complained about the oversensitivity of the touch screen. That does occasionally cause minor missteps when working with settings. However, it is actually nice when riding and trying to move from one screen to the next (particularly since my old 800 had the opposite problem). I have a lot of Strava segments on the routes that I ride and thought it would be nice to have real-time feedback but found it mostly annoying to activate a bunch of segments and now only activate 1 or 2 segments per ride that I want to

I got this blender today so it has only been used twice. However, I LOVE it so far...made "snow" in a jiffy. My main use will be for smoothies and it is a champ at making these clump free. I used all frozen fruit and nuts in mine today and it blended them right up. The container is huge and made perfect sized smoothies for my family of 3. I was in the market for the Blendtec total blender and while I'm sure it would be an AWESOME blender, it's just too expensive for my smoothie habits right now. Hopefully, this blender will be around for a few years. It is really sturdy on my cabinet as well. I love the fact that the container must be locked on before the machine will power up. Another reviewer mentioned the size was tall...it is a tall machine! I will have put the container in a cabinet and leave the base on countertop. It measured 17" from counter to top of the container with the lid locked on top. About 7" deep measuring from front to back of the base.
