This was a gift for someone. I own it myself and think it is great
Lobbying Pluralism and Democracy

I am impressed with this Memory Card, has good speed and seems reliable so far! San Disk and Transcend are the only cards I purchase. San Disk may have an edge on Trascend….but are also slighty more expensive.

We just moved to a new big city so a GPS is a must…and since I have a company car and a personal car I was faced with the dilemma of needing to get two units b/c transporting one from car to car was such a hassle with the window mount. This mount makes it so easy to move the unit from vehicle to vehicle. It’s also really nice to be able to hide the mount under my seat while I park my vehicle to deter would-be theives. It is a little bulky and heavy but it’s necessary to function properly so no complaint on that. Surprisingly the mount stays put on the dash…and I’ve been know to take corners a little tight and fast Also very well made. My only complaint is that it’s sometimes hard to use while on the mount b/c it’s not as stable as when the unit is on the window mount. Overall TWO THUMBS UP and highly recommended!
Pampers Baby Wipes Travel

Sara Gruen spent months researching circuses that traveled by trains and they paid off in the realistic Water for Elephants that she turned into fiction. The novel begins with main character Jacob Jankowski, a 93-year-old man in a nursing home, when the circus comes to town. This begins his flashback of his time with the Benzini Brother’s Most Spectacular Show on Earth in the summer of 1931.While it focuses on the cirucs, the novel weaves back and forth between a 23-year-old Jacob on the circus and present-day Jacob with his nursing home struggles.

Jacob had never intended to end up on the circus, but once he does he is caught in a whirlwind of romance and drama. He has to learn the ropes of a struggling circus that can’t always afford to pay its employees. Each character has his/her own unique qualities that make each seem as real and relatable as the next. Even the circus’s animals take on personalities that make them seem real.

After the great reviews I wanted to give it a shot and I had trouble putting it down. The novel has a little something for every kind of reader as it falls into multiple genres of mystery, romance and adventure. Gruen continuously surprised me through the last page. Each page was as compelling as the next. I would absolutely recommend this novel to everyone.
Lunch Box Library 6

This wasn’t like the book at all! Besides that,
Percy’s character seems really shallow. There is
no sustenance to his person. He merely exists to
make the girls in the audience melt. Other than that,
great movie.
The Inheritance with Bonus

I was still using Word 95 and this version is a whole diff world. No probs with setup. Appreciate new features such as inserting whold files into a MS. Recently took advantage of the upgrade to Office 2010 but that one has nt arrived and i’m starting to wonder about it.
