For $20-$30, purchasers of this book are wise to forgo the wallet and time sucking prep courses. The book has all that a reasonable prepared prospective graduate student should need - material, preparation, vocabulary, and multiple paper tests. The text is munificently complemented by the CD, which includes ~ 10 sample tests in each section (verbal, math, writing), in addition to the online content (also quite ample), all included. But as a test is only as smart as its test writers, it logically follows that the test prep book will only be as smart as the test. Don't expect this book to crack the Mayan code (well, you know what I mean). The insight is limited to a re-hash of basic test taking principles that you have probably learned before. More importantly, the book and the online tests are marred by a less than insignificant number of errors and typos. In the testing world of perfection, this is not something to get wrong. All in all, a wise investment, but take it with a few grains.

Got it ready and downloaded the app. Did a firmware update (no mention of this in the documentation, which by the way is the worst I've seen in years). Paired but the mynt wouldn't ping. Deleted everything and started over. This time it pinged.

Street Altas 2015 does not work, and locks up, when you try and use it with a Qstarz 818XT Bluetooth GPS receiver. I have been a DeLorme customer for many years, and the 818XT GPS receiver works with SA 2012, SA 2013, and SA 2014. The only testing DeLorme has done on SA 2015 with a Bluetooth GPS receiver is with an old DeLorme BT-20, which is only a NMEA 2.0 receiver. Delorme does not have the ability to find the change in SA 2015 (from SA 2014), and is trying to say the problem is with my 818XT GPS receiver, which works with SA 2014. DeLorme has even removed my post on their DeLorme forums, where I posted the problem. Delorme has added SA 2015 to their forums, and put my post there.

Had an instance where my boat's engine would not turn over; after adding Sea Foam, and allowing it to work on the moisture in the gas overnight, the engine cranked on the second try and works well still. I now add sea foam regularly to the gas tank of both my boat and van!

This coffee tastes divine! It does not acidify the body, therefore, does not cause heartburn. It actually alkalines the body. It gives energy without the nervousness of other coffees. The mushroom in it cleanses the body and the energy is lasting versus that quick caffeine buzz. I first purchased it at a wellness center and found it to be much less on Amazon. It's instant, so you can take it anywhere there is hot water. Put a few packets in a coffee cup, and it's perfect for gift giving. I will never go back to four bucks, I mean Starbucks again. I can drink this black and I'm a cream and sugar lover!

There is one story included that makes the whole book worthwhile. It is entitled 'Long Tom Lookout' and is by Nicole Cullen, a writer new to my radar. There is a lot going on in this story. The gist of it is that a woman is looking for her errant husband from whom she is separated. He is not to be found but when she goes to his home, she steals his pick-up truck and the five year-old child he had with another woman (who is now in jail for drug addiction). The child appears to be autistic. He barely speaks except to repeat words, and is fascinated with maps. She drives from New Orleans to Idaho and there secures a job at a remote site as a fire sighter. The story is about the relationship of the woman and the child, along with her attempts to try and understand herself and him, and come to terms with the dissolution of the marriage. The story's power lies with what is implied but not directly stated. It takes a writer with real chops to create a short story that stays with the reader without fading in its beauty. Ms. Cullen succeeds in doing this.

I hate to give this software a rating of 1.. but the voice prompts are not working, and their tech support ignore me. IF the voice prompts worked I would probably give it a rating of 4 out of 5.. but since they do not, the software is fairly worthless to me. I can't be looking at my computer screen every 15 seconds to see what is going on.
