I am the the trustee of a family trust which annual proceeds must be distributed to the trust's descendents each year. This process can only be done with a business edition of software. I originally used H & R Block Business program but that was a nightmare and would not fill out forms correctly. I gave up and purchased this product which did my Federal taxes, for the trust, in less than 30 minutes however, when I looked for the State form, which is purchased through a link from the Federal, there was none available for my State of Nebraska and other states. I spent about an hour waiting and then finally speaking with representative of TurboTax who kept putting me on hold to talk to a supervisor. Finally she came back and told me that TurboTax does not support State returns in several states, one of them being my state. This is something they should tell people up front. It was very good for Federal and I will probably buy it for that next year but at least I will know up front that I will need to fill out the State by hand.

This is a good collection and worth reading altogether, but some stories are definitely more interesting than others (as is true with most collections). The summary in the beginning of the book explains that the stories the editor liked best are placed closest to the beginning of the book, and I definitely found this to be the case during my reading of the book. It started off with some very memorable stories; one about the Cuba/America relationship and how it hurts families (luckily this has recently changed!), one about racing the bulls, and one about a trek through rural Papua New Guinea. There are a few memorable shorter stories scattered throughout the book too: one about searching for a special recipe in Vietnam, one about not traveling (interestingly enough), and another about being a style-conscious traveler who always packs too much. Anyways, I guess overall there were about 10 stories that I remember really loving, and the others I don't recall at all (excluding one that I really hated). So 10/20 stories are great, and the rest are mediocre. Worth a read, though, if you are interested in getting into travel writing and want several solid examples of how to do it!

Do a lot of camping around sand it makes it easiy to keep car clean, just lift mats out and dump sand out.

This book seemed like a fine way to prepare fro the GRE exam. I am using it as a supplement to other resources that I had already bought. It seems to cover all major parts of the exam, though I did notice that the depth of some sections was greater than others. I wonder if this has to do with which sections people tend to struggle with, or the author's own preferences or challenges. It is less 'neutral' than the book from big test-prep companies, but that IS NOT a bad thing! It is highly approachable, and I feel that it is an easier read than Kaplan.
