Fobbit \'f -bit\, noun. Definition: A U.S. soldier stationed at a Forward Operating Base who avoids combat by remaining at the base, esp. during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2011). Pejorative. In the satirical tradition of Catch-22 and M*A*S*H, Fobbit takes us into the chaotic world of Baghdad's Forward Operating Base Triumph. The Forward Operating base, or FOB, is like the back-office of the battlefield - where people eat and sleep, and where a lot of soldiers have what looks suspiciously like a desk job. Male and female soldiers are trying to find an empty Porta Potty in which to get acquainted, grunts are playing Xbox and watching NASCAR between missions, and a lot of the senior staff are more concerned about getting to the chow hall in time for the Friday night all-you-can-eat seafood special than worrying about little things like military strategy. Darkly humorous and based on the author's own experiences in Iraq, Fobbit is a fantastic debut that shows us a behind-the-scenes portrait of the real Iraq war.Binding Type: Paperback

"Máxima protección sin sensación pesada"
Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
"El protector solar VGO-50 me ha sorprendido gratamente. Tiene un factor de protección muy alto, ideal para pieles sensibles o exposiciones prolongadas al sol. Se absorbe rápido, no deja sensación grasa ni pegajosa y su aplicación es muy fácil. Después de usarlo, siento la piel protegida y cómoda todo el día. Lo recomiendo para quienes buscan una defensa efectiva contra los rayos solares."

Great Sunscreen
Size: 1.69 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This absorbs quickly, is non-greasy, and leaves skin feeling smooth and soft (though it's no substitute for moisturizer). All in all, a great product, though I haven't tested it extensively in bright sunlight. However, I deducted one star for the smallish tube and highish price.
