There may be many reasons why I had so much difficulty finishing this book; maybe it's just too soon after the 2012 presidential election to get a good take on it. However, the more likely reason is that the book is just dry as dust. Balz is a highly respected reporter, and deservedly so, but he tracks the Obama and Romney campaigns in such detail that I found it excruciating to plod through it. Also, perhaps because the election is too recent for us to have forgotten some of the details, the book didn't seem to have any details that didn't recall. Finally, and regretfully, Mr. Balz's reporting skills may not translate well into a full book; what is interesting in a relatively small dose becomes tedious to the max in a 350+ page book.

We've been using this brand of of potato flakes for years. Product is exactly as described. If you don't tell people you're using "instant", no one would guess from the look or taste. Tasty, genuine, potatoes through and through. The -only- valid reasons, IMO, for not buying this product is if you want chunky smashed potatoes instead of smooth finely mashed, or you must have peel-on potatoes.

There was a learning curve since I formerly used Nero 8. For whatever reason, it took over 2 hours to burn a video CD with Nero 2016 where it used to take about 15 minutes with Nero 8.

FTM works very well and we keep a large genealogy data base organized with it. I have used FTM since version 1 or 2. The annual improvements often do not seem worth the expense, but this version no longer works with Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine. If I update my computer to Windows 8, that will probably mean another update. That is my only complaint about this software, but I find it highly irritating. Also, usually upgrading to the new version means files saved in the new version cannot be opened with the older version. Since my wife and I use FTM on a desktop at home, but a laptop while traveling to do research, we end up duplicating each software version purchase. That sucks.

Very, very happy with the new Norton product. Seems to be efficient and fast. Had not used their product for years but they have certainly improved a lot.

I ordered Perricone SubD cream for neck and jawline and couldn't wait to try it. The next day my skin was red, itching and burning. It was as if I'd been at the beach all day with no SPF. It went away in about a week.

We've done many a cleanse and this by far is most effective for my family. It is gentle but works. Really kicks in after day 2, so might want to start on a Thursday. I am definitely buying this product again.
