I was so-so on the book summary, but after seeing the Amazon reviews I figured I’ll give it a try. THANK GOODNESS i did. It was one of those books you didn’t know you’ll enjoy, but love it. You hardly come across great books these days with all the commercial mass market publications, but this book has everything you look for when you pick up a book.
Read it, I doubt you’ll regret it. You wont feel like you just wasted so many hours of your life…you’ll come away with happiness that you just found another GREAT BOOK in your life.
Sweet and Soft Baby
Singular short novel written from the standpoint of a teenager who was expelled from school and is wandering the streets of New York without his parents knowing. Wandering, he reminds people and moments of his life. Sometimes shocking, acid, sharp and touching, the child goes on with his thoughts under the 50’s American atmosphere.

Very good product. I have a long history with good experience with that product line.
If you have a new Canon IS1400, you may find some compatibility issues, unless the card is defective in a weird way (unlikely).

After much research, I opted to purchase the Forerunner 305. I was concerned about its size being too large, but was pleasantly surprised to find it not as big as I originally expected. The software that comes with the product is sweet. It gives you the ability to track all of your progress right from the PC. It even allows you to view your route on Google earth, which I found to be really cool. I have used mine during cycling, jogging, kayaking, and even purchased the foot pod to use on the treadmill.
Some of the cons about the product.
Heart rate strap is uncomfortable and itches after some time. The Garmin watch will only communicate with a Garmin heart rate monitor strap. I have a really nice Polar strap that is very comfortable that I could not use. I contacted Garmin’s customer support and they concurred with my findings. You can always purchase Garmin’s version of a soft strap, but who wants to spend another $60.00.
The battery life is only 10 hours. Even when I power it down after each use, it appears to drain.
These cons are petty compared to what this unit can do. Thought about buying one of the newer more expensive versions, but glad I opted for the 305.

Got this to transfer larger files. But do to Fat32 format the largest file that will transfer is a 4GB file. I would of format to NTFS, but my PS3 will not reconize the card, or hard drave for that matter. It may come in handy for a camcorder.

What you take from this book depends mostly on the type of person you are.
If you spend your life shaking your head at what others around you are doing “wrong”, while internally applauding your own goodness…if you subscribe to narrow-minded views which you call “the Word of God” but which really serve to spread hate and fear against things you don’t understand or which really aren’t any of your business in the first place…if you’ve spent your life denying yourself the joy which could have been yours in favor of doing what you were taught was “right”…if you have ignored the fact that it has been proven and recorded in history that the Bible was originally composed of much more than we know today, but due to man’s corruption (and fear of loss of power over those they ruled) was edited according to man’s agenda…Yeah, you hate this book because you feel as though you’ve been insulted. You will fixate on the fact that it states that there is no heaven or hell, no devil, no damnation. No vengeful, wrathful God to punish those wrongdoers around you. That everything you hung your hopes on isn’t real. After all, this is the God you’ve lived your life thinking you knew, and you’re probably afraid to think beyond that. That’s a shame, because you’re missing the point entirely.
Meanwhile, if you want to live a life of love, joy and peace…if you already believed prior to reading this that there must be more to life than what you see around you with your human eyes…if you already believed that we are all one, and that we are all a part of God, and that we are all meant for more than what we have been taught we are worth, that we are NOT naturally sinful or shameful, that we are all gifted with God’s love regardless of what we do, that we are perfect creations which make bad choices…you’ll love this book as I do, and you’ll refer back to it frequently as I do in order to reinforce the ideas and make them a part of your heart.

Conversation With God – #1 by Walsch is an excellent book, and one that I believe every rational person who is seeking enlightenment needs have in their personal library—regardless of how vast or limited it may be. This particular purchase was part of me buying it for (and sending it to) a relative of mine.
The Musical Experience Of
I have to admit that I was hesitant to pick up this book despite the rave reviews. Why? Because usually something gets over-hyped and I end up being disappointed. The Help, however, was riveting and better than I anticipated.
This novel follows 3 women, Aibileen and Minny, who are black servants, and Skeeter Phelan, a recent white college graduate, as they navigate life and love in Jackson, Mississippi. In the 60s, white families relied heavily on black maids to help raise children and keep the house in order. The dependency, however, does not mean that black maids are treated with respect or as equals. It is quite the contrary, and Skeeter, who desperately wants to become a writer, has picked the tenuous relationships between white women and their maids, as the subject of her book.
Why was this novel so good? Not only was it compelling, but Stockett wrote in a way that draws the reader in, and even though the book is long, it never dragged or slowed. The characters were well developed, and execution of different voices was distinct yet seamless. Although all the characters have faults, it made them endearing, and the rich voice of each narrator told the stunning tale of what it was like to be black in the 60s. This novel was written beautifully and I highly recommend it.

I have been using MS Office Products since they came out. This latest version is completely new in terms of menu options, short cuts, and functions available via the menu bars. I had to upgrade and I am relearning from the beginning (almost) how to use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I would not recommend upgrading to this product. Plan on many many hours of learning if you do upgrade.
