Why show the box, the disc & the MS Key etc, when all I really got was a stack of paper – I was not impressed.
I had a lot of difficulty when registering with MS, the key seemed to be reused. My tech had to handle the whole process.

I bought this vacuum cleaner, and had it shipped to my girlfriend. When it arrived, she called to say it needed to be assembled. I said you are on your own. Much to my surprise, she and her her 7 year old son were able to put it together (a week later, so much for two day shipping) and it worked great. When I got there, she handed me the extra parts, a couple of the nuts were not on the bolts, she didn’t read the instructions, which I did and found them very helpful. We have new carpet, and the bag was so full it packed the intake, the instructions mention that new carpet will fill the bag. Once the bag was changed, and the passage to the bag was cleared, it worker really well. the price was right, hope it gets a lot of use.

***SPOILER ALERT***
Put this novel on the FUN READ shelf. Definitely nothing mind-blowing in terms of plot or prose but a very entertaining look at depression era circus life.
The author alternates (for the most part) chapters between Jacob’s life during the depression and his life as a 90 year old in a nursing home. One gets the sense that the author seeks to evoke some sympathy for the 90 year Jacob’s plight. In this endeavor she fails as she never fully fleshes out his relationship with his children. Thus the reader is left feeling slightly apathetic as to his plight as a lonely and ornery old man wasting away in a assisted living facility.
Finally, the ending is a bit contrived and convenient. The frail old Jacob making a break for it out of the retirement home and going to the circus event that is in town. There of course he meets and befriends one of the circus directors who spirits him away on their cross country tour. Happily ever blah blah blah.
All of this is not to discourage someone from reading this novel. The author can write with rhythm and keeps the pacing light and quick. Viewing the novel as a love story, the author is adept at capturing the dual emotional nature of love with phrases like: “exhausted and recharged, desperate and fulfilled.” With a good writer, this book would make a great movie.

This was a really good, enjoyable, authentic, endearing book. Thoroughly enjoyable read. One of a kind, leaves you wanting more of the circus on the rails of the depression era. I also love first-person novels that stay on plot and Gruen doesn’t disappoint there.

I TOTALLY disagree with another reviewer who said Gruen over-anthropomophized and over-romanticized the animals in the story! Hardly. If anything, if Jacob is a vet, we read very little of him doing his job in context of the story. And anyone who’s around animals or has worked with animals can hardly fail to form emotional attachments to them.

When I finished WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, I like I felt when I finished reading FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE and SEABISCUIT.

Canon PowerShot A590IS Digital

I’ve owned other steam vacs which were more expensive but did not do the job this one does. This model extracts the dirt and water with more suction than any other I’ve used in the past. I would highly recommend this unit. Don’t assume just because another model is newer or more expensive than it will do a better job. Buy this one and pocket the change.

Canon PowerShot A720IS Digital

I received my iPod about 4 months ago, and it has crashed twice. I lost $30 from the iTunes store due to it crashing. I had downloaded music on my iPod because my computer had a bad virus and I could not upload it to my computer. Therefore when my computer crashed I lost every song I downloaded and iTunes does not allow you to redownload music. Now don’t get me wrong, I love this, it’s a great music playing device, great video player and almost everything else. With the new apple update that is going to come out that allows multitasking this will be great! I would not have lived through my 5 month computer virus without it. It is not durable at all, the back is all scratched up due to just light use (I’d suggest a case). The app store is fantastic, “There’s an app for that”. I would suggest this product (with an extended warranty!) to anyone with a little extra cash. With little consumer support from Apple and small improvements this could be perfect. Until then I’ll just stick with my computer being perfect.

I cannot complain about how the RC-5 worked when it worked. It did its job as expected, but Canon’s warranty is not a long one, and they are not into courtesy warranty. Sorry about that. I am more than happy with my Canon cameras, but I’m getting the Opteka RC-4 at half the price.
