The Garmin Portable Friction Mount is awesome. It is stable, durable, and does not slide on the dash board on turns.

Only a few minutes after I placed my order, the object had shipped. The only problem was that when it got here, it had a tiny crack in the top right hand corner, but that could have easily come from shipping. I am still very satisfied with this order, especially since the crack cannot spread since it is touching both sides already and barely visible. GREAT BUY!

This is a great product, it stays put. I have a car and a truck and the mount has gripped well on either dashboard. The marks it leaved on the dash are insignificant and easily wiped off. This product is much better than the windshield mount.

I definitely recommend it.

I purchased this GPS(Tom Tom Go 630) about 3 weeks ago. Used it where I live before a trip to the West Coast, just to get used to it. I found a few discrepencies, but nothing major. This GPS had all the features I wanted, and none of the stuff I wouldn’t use. It is perfect for me.
I am currently on my trip, used it to get to the Grand Canyon South, wich I had been to before, and to the Grand Canyon West wich I have never been to. This GPS never missed a beat. The Grand Canyon West is not as well known or commercilized. The GPS was right on. I am now using it to navigate known and unknown places in San Diego, its still right on. A few minor errors, nothing major.
The gps makes quick work of recalculations. The blue tooth works ok, like all hands free devices in my experience, it picks up back ground noise.
The gps aquires signal quickly, even when you’ve moved with it turned off.
This is my first auto gps, so I have no way of comparing it to other auto gps’s, but I had no problems figuring out the menus’ or how to work it.
I would highly recommend it. For me it is just what I wanted.
Keep in mind, my uses for a GPS may be different than your’s. Do your homework to insure this GPS has the features you want.

The best price around. Checked out the price at the local pet store and Amazon was less than 50% of the price. This deshedder works great. Already have one…bought these for friends who tried mine and had to have one!!! Delivery was very fast and everything was as the shipper had stated.

I picked up a copy of Twilight because, like so many people, I had heard all the hype, seen the movie previews, even have some friends who have read it and loved it, etc. Like others who have written a review here, I’m outside of the target demographic, but a good book should be readable by any age group, any gender, and any education level. This is not a good book. I got through chapter 3 and had to put it down. Everything is irritating about this novel.

One reason I wanted to read the book is that I’d heard people saying that it taught young women that it’s all right to be stalked, as long as the guy loves you. That women need to be protected because they can’t take care of themselves. I couldn’t argue the point if I had not read it for myself.

There are three important aspects in novels, one of which must be good. It’s rare that all three are good. None are good in Twilight. Characters – Bella is a whiny teenager who made a decision about her life and regrets every minute of it. When the explanation for her moving back to Forks is finally revealed, it’s meant to make her seem noble and willing to sacrifice her own happiness for someone else. The Cullens, typical vampire attitude, who are trying to hide what they are, but haven’t yet managed to learn to act normal. The other kids in school, so willing to accept, even adore Bella. And Bella, of course, is the daughter of the sheriff. Plot – Not much original here. Gloomy setting, weird kids who set themselves apart from everyone else, in comes Bella Swan (beautiful swan) to save the day. Writing – Irritating. Too many sentences the same length. Too many repetitions of thoughts and phrases. Although each is often small, there are too many point of view shifts.

Logic has no part. I’m not talking about logic in the supernatural, but in the real world. For instance, the truck that Charlie buys for Bella (which I’m certain would eventually have great significance since so much time was spent on h

The Help, although a good read, seemed heavy-handed in its morality, thick with forshadowing and stereotype, and neatly buttoned up at the end. It’s interesting enough to finish, but not nearly interesting enough to recommend.

I feel this is a fine film. Although there are no real new insights to the music or the myth the story is told in a nice cinematic way. I prefer The Search for Robert Johnson with John Hammond Jr. but this is still a fine addition to any music collection. I have the DVD and highly recommend it.

The book had noticeable markings & stains on the cover which were not in te description.
