Wonderful book – the voices in the book allow the reader to get a clear picture of each character. Eye-opening view into a difficult time in our not-too-distant past. Highly recommend.
Christian Humanism the Reformation
I wanted a case that I can use alone or in a backpack/duffel. The attachable strap aids in the first use. And the case is thin enough for the 2nd. It’s definitely not for someone who throws their stuff around, though. The case pads well, but it can’t take a beating.

I personally like Nintendo over its competition. Because of the franchises, and the fact that the failure rate for theirs systems are basically non existant.
I still have my NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube in working condition. I know friend who are on their 2nd or 3rd PS3, and a friend in particular who has had 5 XBOX 360s.
I love nintendo franchises, especially Zelda, Mario and Metroid. But almost every Nintendo franchise it great and fun.
The wii is great, and I love it. I wouldn’t trade it for the other systems combined.
Arc de Triomphe
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.

EXCELLENT TOOL. Works wonders, gets rid of a huge majority of the shedding hair. Highly recommend.

I have used Aveeno products Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion, Fragrance Free, 8-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 6) for my 2 year old son for over an year now. And the quality of the products are amazing. My son simply loves it’s fragrance Aveeno Baby Wash & Shampoo, Lightly Scented, 8-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6). We are really happy and will continue using Aveeno only.

Garmin works great. Haven’t tried the HRM. Good tool to improve your speed or distance.
The Adventures of Oliver
Just confirming the other 2k+ reviews. This product works perfectly and is just 2 bucks with free shipping to boot. Have no idea why other HDMI cables you find at e.g. Bestbuy go for at least 40 bucks. This product is simple and it works.
I’ve only had it for a day and tested it for a few hours, so there may be issues down the line; but for now, very pleased
Artificial Neural Networks Forecasting
Ordered this because of its good ratings. It works great, has great suction, and the air doesn’t blow directly out of the front so it doesnt blow dirt away on bare floors. The only thing is that I wish this one had the option to shut the brushes off. That being said I am really impressed with how great it picks stuff up and it seems like a great value.
The Chinese in Silicon
I bought this book with high expectations after reading all the glowing review. I was disappointed as it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Ms. Gruen is a talented writer, and the book starts off well, but then travels into sappy “chick lit” territory, especially the ending.
However, the one thing that ruined this book for me was the depiction of mental illness. The character August is described as a paranoid schizophrenic. I am not a psychiatrist but I am a mental health professional and his symptoms sound closer to bipolar disorder. Also, August is cruel and violent, to say the least, when acutally most paranoid schizophrenics are NOT VIOLENT. Yes, I know it’s fiction and the author is free to take artistic license, but misconceptions about mental illness are common and this book only furthers them.
Lastly, I understand that the book is being made into a movie with Reese Witherspoon. I like Reese and even though I wasn’t crazy about the book, was thinking of going to go see it until I learned that Robert what’s-his-fang from the horrible “Twilight” series is playing Jacob Jankowski. Noooooooooooooo!
