Thus far the odometer is exactly what I was looking for. I put it id my right pocket and I check it time to time during the day at work and afterwards.

Had to have it for two new computers to access older version of Office files, though the updates are cumbersome to wade through being used to Office 03. Don’t really like the “improved” presentation of each. Tabs changed not necessarily for the better. Sometimes newer isn’t better. It works for what we needed it to do. Would rather have been able to purchase the older version for less. Progress? Not necessarily.

I loved the character of Jacob when he was ninety or ninety-three. He has been there, done that as he reflects on his life on a depression era circus train. When I think of Water for Elephants, I don’t see 23 year old Jacob and Marlena and the circus gang, I see this old man who still stands up for his rights, mainly his right to live his life as he sees fit. The whole story is developing this one character – You go 90-something-year-old Jacob – enjoy!!
Rosemary was another character I enjoyed – so patient, so sincerely understanding.
My main issue with the book – Water for Elephants – not the title I would have chosen. A great title but I don’t feel that the book reflected the significance needed for that name. As I was reading, I kept expecting something to exhibit “Water for Elephants” besides McGuinty.
This read was chosen for my book club and what a fun book to plan a party around, would definitely recommend this book to friends, family and fellow book clubbers out there.

This carpet cleaner does a good job. It is ironic though that it is called a “steam” cleaner and there is no mention of using hot water in the manual and the unit does not heat the water to make steam. So, I used water I had heated to a boil and did not use any soap at all. This did a great job and dried quickly.

I have a golden retriever whose hair seems to be everywhere in the house. I’ve tried all sorts of brushes and daily routines and still have hair everywhere. And then I finally decided to try the Furminator. I ordered it on Thursday night and was told I should expect it on Wednesday morning as it had to come all the way to India but it arrived on Monday itself. I tried it out. It is amazing! Gobs and gobs of hair came off. My dog actually enjoys the brushing, looks a lot sleeker (I hope he feels the heat less) and better groomed and the fur is a lot softer! I actually got compliments on his grooming when I took him to the vet yesterday. I only wish I had discovered it earlier.

This card is a really really good deal. I went to the supermarket and they were trying to sell 2GB cards for $15. I bought this 8GB card from Amazon for my underwater digital camera, and was able to use the highest pixel settings. I could save my pics with really good resolution. My camera, which normally would have taken around 200 pictures was able to take over 600+! (I don’t actually know the maximum that my camera can hold because for my entire week long trip, I never once had to change my memory card. I felt bad for my poor friend who had to keep switching out her 2GB cards.

The price Amazon offers for this card (currently approx $25 with free shipping is totally worth it.)

My Garmin 265WT portable GPS unit arrived last month. Included with it was the window-shield suction mount. I tried it and it worked OK. It was a stable mount, but somewhat of a security pain-in-the-neck. Since security is an issue nowadays with portable GPS units, I had to remove the suction mount from the windwhield in order to hide it away each time I exited my car. Then, I had to re-attach it to the windshield again upon re-entering. I subsequently searched the Internet for alternative mounting devices. Nearly every user product review recommended the portable friction mount because of its ease of use and stability. I purchased one, and have been using it ever since. It has great stability due to its lockable “bean-bag” base, and I am able to install/uninstall it in seconds. It definitely is the way to go.

I love running with my new Forerunner 305…I was using an online program to figure out my distances, but was limited to running roads and paved trails. This allows me to do a little offroading. It calculates distance perfectly, the heart rate monitor is much better than the Timex monitor I used to wear, and the pace feature is great. The elevation feature varies a bit, but gives a good overall picture. I haven’t used the training features nor have I used the compass settings so I can’t comment on their effectiveness. The Garmin connect online tool is great for analyzing all of the workout data, and I would recommend that over the software that comes in the package. I haven’t had any problem with mine yet, and I’ve had it for a couple months now. It’s a great deal for the price here on Amazon.
MED SNOOZER SHERPA TOP

This is my 10 year old son’s iPod. He researched it and bought it with his Amazon gift cards that he has been hoarding for close to a year. This is his 3rd portable gaming system (Nintendo Gameboy and Sony PSP being the others) and he is quite thrilled with it. He’s been on spring break the last 3 weeks and I don’t think the thing has been out of his hands any longer than the time necessary to charge it. It kept him fully occupied on a flight from L.A. to D.C., playing games and watching movies. Very easy to sync, very durable. He’s dropped it several times with no adverse effects. Highly recommend this product.
Zoo Med Halogen Heat

Holden Caulfield has just been kicked out, yet again, of a preparatory school which his father, a hot-shot corporate lawyer, has selected for him. Holden is a pathological lawyer, he smokes like crazy, and he prefers the peak of his brand-new red hunting cap to be facing backward, not forward. Holden begins wandering around New York City, buying time before the date comes when his parents will be expecting him.

Such are the plot details, and the wonderful character painting, that this wonderful little novel unveils early in its course. The Catcher is a fast-paced and an easy read, two qualities which typically don’t go along with works of literature. Is the Catcher a work of literature? The answer is an unqualified yes. Salinger has accomplished an amazing feat by relaying his story through the first-person narrative of our protagonist, and the writing is complete with Holden’s idiosyncratic jargon and constant lacings of profanity. Yet what makes the writing so remarkable is that we know exactly what Holden is talking about it, even though his slang can be a little confusing at times.

Still, what makes this little gem a literary genius is not its exceptional writing, but its wide appealing cultural value. I think it would be immature and cliched to call this a “coming of age” book (even though it is one), or to talk about Holden’s prototypical “teenage angst”. In my opinion, this novel finds its far-reaching appeal because it speaks to the heart of us all. We all get discouraged (and even disgusted) by the faults that we see in society, and in human nature in general (for example, the “phoniness” which Holden sees as near ubiquitous). Nevertheless, all of us have to make decisions, just like Holden does, as to what direction we choose to walk in life.

A final note. I loved this book and found myself laughing out loud throughout many parts of the book. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t be surprised if this novel isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I suspect that some readers will
