VERY grippy. excellent aid for clammy hands. however it lost a star for frequents applications for longer pole workouts. lasted me about 20 mins. all around pretty good --also works good for other spots like back of knees, thighs, ankles.

UPDATE: We've had this for over a month now ... daughter put it down for several weeks, until I put the Clam Prix game on it (i'm sure that once she finishes that, it will again be put away). The Connect never works properly, customer service is horrible. I will not be downloading any more items and will be getting a DSi in place of this. Overall: a bad purchase!

What Color is your Parachute is a book which is always on my list of books to get every year. Each year he brings out a new edition. The editions change from year to year as he updates them according to world events. For example, due to the World economic Crisis he brought out a "Hard Times" edition in 2010 in recognition that the goal posts had shifted quite dramatically in the job-hunting / career-changing market. I purchase his books every two years. This year I bought the 2013 edition and on my Kindle. The book is excellent as always and is sufficiently updated and different from previous editions to justify buying the 2013 edition. The only drawback for me is that when he discusses interview situations they are normally situations where the job candidate is facing one interviewer. I normally face a panel of about 6 interviewers all with prepared questions and ticking off a list of criteria prepared by the HR department. But, all in all it is a very good book, well written and Richard N.Bolles' warmth as a person certainly comes across. The Kindle format does cause some difficulty however. Diagrams which are clear in the print edition are not easy to read on the relatively small Kindle screen. There is a facility to print those diagrams up if the Kindle is connected to a printer by WiFi but that is not often the case. This is not a problem using the Kindle app on the PC or Mac. I just found myself checking my print 2010 edition and used the diagrams from there.
