Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer is a definite must read fantasy that I would recommend to kids ages 10 and up. The story starts off in Ho Chi Minh City. Artemis Fowl and his bodyguard, Butler, are meeting a man who supposedly is going to take them to see a fairy. They meet a fairy who has lost all her magic due rice wine. Artemis tricks her and gets The Book in exchange for her life. The Book is a special book that holds all the fairy’s secrets including how they get their magic. At the same time Captain Holly Short a LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police) officer, is on a special mission to defend the humans from a deadly troll. Although what she doesn’t know is that she is about to be captured by… Artemis Fowl!
Artemis Fowl is unlike any other any other twelve year old boy. He is completely ghost pale with dark hair. The sinister look in his eye is enough to send shivers down the toughest man’s spines. He’s determined to become a master thief and carry on the Fowl legacy. Artemis is an ultimate genius and is always one step ahead. He’s quick on improvising and very daring. He also feels as well as acts superior, therefore he doesn’t treat most people with respect. The only friend he has is his bodyguard, Butler. Artemis speaks with an incredible adult-sounding vocabulary, and doesn’t show many feelings, except for the times that he is torn because his mother is losing her mind ever since his father mysteriously disappeared. As you can tell, Artemis Fowl is absolutely no ordinary twelve year old boy.
Artemis Fowl is about to put his knowledge to the test as he takes on the fairies in a fast-paced marvelous read that will keep you reading to the end, and then have you begging for more of Artemis Fowl!

Opteka Voyeur Spy Lens
As a Canon shooter, I like to keep my gear as “Canon” as possible. I bought a Canon 70-200mm L lens a while ago & found I needed the tripod mount. I just couldn’t see spending over $100 for the Canon brand when I could buy the Opteka for around $50! C’mon, it’s a metal ring that holds the lens not optical equipment! The Opteka works well, the quality is fine & it fits the lens perfectly. The color is slightly darker than the lens but big deal, my concern is image quality, not “looking cool” and besides, I saved over $100!
Opteka Tripod Collar Mount
I bought this three years ago so that we wouldn’t need to drag our excellent but heavy Windtunnel up the steps. I have used it a total of maybe 20 times. It is fine on the rugs, but not nearly as good on bare floors as the Windtunnel. The biggest problem is that it emits a high-pitched whine under the usual vacuum noise. Both my husband and I find it painful to listen to. We have now relegated it to the basement, for very occasional use.
