Water for Elephants is an engrossing story about life in an early 1930’s, depression-era traveling circus, but is also about so much more. Jacob Jankowski is presently ninety or ninety-three (he doesn’t recall) and living out the end of his life in a nursing home. He has family who visit, but they are busy enough with their own lives that he is largely forgotten. A circus comes to town and Jacob thinks back on his own youthful experiences.

I appreciate the story’s realistic portrayal of early 20th century circus life. The animals live and work in conditions that are horrific, but at the same time they are the lifeblood of the show next to the human performers and are therefore treated well enough to that extent. The author, Sara Gruen, mentions in an interview that many of the anecdotes in the tale are plucked from real life accounts. (For example, an elephant stealing lemonade from the lemonade stand when no one is looking.) Truth is stranger than fiction, indeed.

I have a laptop and a backpack which goes with me everywhere. I keep all of my files+movies back’d up on a harddrive which I carry with me. The problem was they kept banging around and breaking. This one can withstand some abuse. It’s 640gb and cost only around $150! It was a great buy. Really happy with it.

I read enough reviews about the Garmin Portable Friction Mount to know the general consesus of owners highly approved of it. So I gladly ordered from Amazon.com to replace my windshield mount. It is everything it promised to be, and exceeded my expectations. I fully expected some slippage across the dashboard around tight corners. I even went so far as to hang onto my Garmin 855 on aggressive turns. But then I got courageous enough to just let the Friction Mount do it’s job (hold my GPS in place without slipping/tipping)… and it did! So to my surprise I didn’t have a single problem or worry anymore. And the dashboard mount is far better than the windshield mount.

I withheld one star simply because I think the unit is slightly overpriced. It is still worth every penny if it helps prevent GPS theft, but for what is essentially a non-slip sandbag with a plastic mount on top… I would like to have paid a little less. No complaints about overall quality whatsoever.

Garmin Portable Friction Mount works great. No more marks on the windshield. Only draw back is the weight/size.
No all that easy to stick in a bag and take it with you. But fine for swapping from one car to another.

The iPod Touch 64gb is wonderful, really. The fact that we’ve got to a day in age where we can fit 64gb onto a flash media device is quite impressive. Though, what’s more impressive is that in a device that’s about as thick as the common checkbook – Apple has been able to fit N wireless, bluetooth, 64gb flash media, some amount of RAM, a processor chip, and every other component that goes with running this device.
I haven’t been happier with a media player! It shows my lyrics (so long as they’re provided in the tags) as I play a song, I can shake it lightly to shuffle a song, it actually doesn’t put bands with “The” in front of it in the T’s, it puts them in the letter of the actual name (For instance, The Beatles would be in the T’s, it would be in the B’s.), it surfs the web quickly, it has more apps than I could ever sift through, I mean, the list goes on and on.

I have both Windows and Ubuntu Linux, and I can say that on either operating system there is a program to support the iPod’s syncing. Though, the actual program, iTunes, cannot be found for Linux (which, needs to be fixed!). Personally, running iTunes on my Windows boot is only necessary when I’m syncing my iPod, because times other than that – I DO NOT WANT TO RUN iTUNES BECAUSE IT’S A RESOURCE HOG!

The speaker built into this device – sucks. 100%, genuinely sucks. Though, if you turn the bass on the equalizer wayyyyy down, you may get a clear sound at higher sound levels – but it’s not like the speaker gets louder than a clap of the hand anyways. Don’t let the speaker steer you away though, this product is still 95% perfect.

Sound quality when it’s plugged into some expensive Skullcandy’s is decent, it plays at high decibals, with high bass and low treble, with low bass and high treble, high mids low everything else – you really can’t go wrong with the sound output when you have headphones plugged in -especially at this pricetag.

This is first book of a series. Before purchasing any other books from Neal Walsch, I recomend you read this one.

I ordered this card for it’s affordable price with the class 6 designation for optimal transfer speed. After trying reads and writes of many files to and from this card and comparing that to a class 6 Sandisk card I found the sandisk to be about 20% faster on both reads and writes. This was not a fluke either as I actually purchased and tested 2 of these 4gb cards. My saves to this card from a Windows 7 computer averaged 5MB per second while the Sandisk averaged 6.5MB per second. On reads, the Transcend averaged 10MB per second while the Sandisk averaged 13MB per second.
