From the description given of Water For Elephants I wasn’t sure I would like it, but was intrigued just the same. I am usually more of a horror fan, but to my surprise, I LOVED IT! Action packed, heartbreaking, and a little glimpse of what scares us all about growing older.
Wonderfully written and a definite page turn, you just can’t put down. I look forward to reading more works from Sara Gruen.

The Garmin Portable Friction Mount is awesome. It is stable, durable, and does not slide on the dash board on turns.

The 3 books are interesting in the perspective they bring. They’re entertaining at the very least. Whether they are “divinely” inspired is another question. I’m sure some see Walsch as yet another of God’s spokesmen, or the Devil’s. I don’t elevate him to that level.
I do have to commend him though, he’s built quite a cottage industry for himself. He’s milking it for all it’s worth, with a pay for website, and I don’t know, at least 10 books in the “Conversations with God” series, with probably more coming.
If I come across as a bit sarcastic, it’s because I am, if these books are “divinely” inspired, I wish the Almighty would think of ANOTHER way beside writing books or using words to communicate by proxy. The method’s been tried to ad nauseum, and frankly it hasn’t worked out very well. Surely, being “God”, he has more powerful ways of communicating, but then again, maybe He needs a lesson in PR.
It’s interesting, on the more tricky questions of application of these principles that Walsch puts to “God”, the Almighty seemed to me to dodge them with rather glib and pat answers.
My point, and why so many of these self help and also religious books are like cotton candy, they taste good, but have no nutritional value. And that’s because the things they try to “teach” can’t be done so through words. They have to be EXPERIENCED for them to sink in.
That’s why so many people brought up on endless Bible (fill in the blank with any other religious text) classes, or those who read self help books (I’m one of them) still don’t get it, because they have no way to experientially connect with the teachings.
Words don’t conduct experience very well. Yes, some people find just the “right” words which “open” the door of their understanding, through whatever means, but the vast majority of us struggle with half baked understanding because the meaning of the words haven’t been experienced.

I read the saga because my friends suggested it to me, and I will say that I do like the Twilight books, but I am not overly obsessed with them. I think all together the characters are well developed, but Bella is one character that is harder to understand. I also agree with many others who say that the book has a lot of unnecessary parts of the story in it, but is lacking in some scenes that I would have loved to read. I think if you are looking for a easy read then you have found the perfect book for you. This may be a personal preference but I also have a hard time following books in a first person point of view, but the book did keep my interest and I would read them again.
I do wish though that Stephanie would elaborate more on Carlisle and Esme’s relationship. These are two characters, besides Alice, that I found interesting and captured my attention. I mean seriously Carlisle is three-hundred and something years old, he must have some type of story to tell. I would love to read about how he and Esme fell in love with each other and their years and struggles as a couple. If Stephanie would write a book about them I would defiantly take the time to read it.
All in all I think the books are a good read for the feel of fiction and fantasy. They are easy to read and a very great page turner. You may be on the edge of your seat for most of the book if you get can get past some of the whining.

The cable works out of the box. I use it to connect my PS3 to my screen. Nothing to complain. Great choice to save some bucks.

Not having read this book in school, I decided recently it was one of those classics I missed out on which might be worth reading. While I do think the book is somewhat interesting and well-written, I believe it might be better appreciated by young adults. Much of the type of angst seen in Holden is diminished with age, for the most part.
At age 16, Holden Caulfield has been kicked out of Pencey, the latest of several private schools which he’s attended. He lacks direction in life, both in the long term sense and in the short term of what he’s going to do next. He’s not upset about leaving Pencey at all, he didn’t really like any of the other students or faculty there much. In fact, there are very few people whom Holden likes. Asked to name people he genuinely likes, Holden would probably name his younger sister Phoebe and his brother Allie, who died young. He views a lot of the people he encounters as phonies. He hates movies and dislikes shows only slightly less, although he does take his friend Sally to one. Even when he calls friends up, they quickly get on his nerves. In general, Holden is rarely truly happy.
I can see how some young adults might identify with Holden’s character and attitude toward others and life. At that age many people are unhappy because the toys and games of childhood have lost their appeal, yet they cannot partake in all the things in which adults find enjoyment. However, reading this as adult I found myself easily tired and at times frustrated by his character.

Sometimes, reading a book, you wonder about editorial decisions, mostly to do with scenes or plot twists/direction that just do not belong. With this book, I would not have included the photographs that begin each chapter. I thought the writer was doing a more than adequate job in her descriptions and thought the photos detracted. Also, do not need the author’s note at end. Don’t remind us this was fiction, created and crafted; we want to shut the book and remember the story.

After seeing the great job the Furminator did on my friend’s dog, I decided to give it a try on my own dog. I had read reviews that warned about the blade cutting the hair but I was so impressed with the results I had seen firsthand, I got one anyway.
I have a Samoyed, a double-coated breed. I started with the Furminator and was disappointed at how little of the undercoat it actually removed. The teeth are not long enough to get through the undercoat and I saw that, along with the little undercoat it was pulling out, there were also long strands from the topcoat in the Furminator. After about 10 minutes I gave up. The Furminator just wasn’t effective at getting through her coat and I was concerned about damage to the topcoat. I went back to using my trusty undercoat rake, which is far more effective than the Furminator and doesn’t damage the coat.
I have seen good results with this product on other dogs, but do not recommend it for breeds with dense undercoats and silky topcoats.

For the money, by far the best carpet cleaner I have ever used. Carpet came out fantastic, and was only slightly damp after cleaning. Dry within an hour or two. Highly recommended.
