This clever and inventive tale works on three levels: as an intriguing science fiction concept, a realistic character study and a touching love story. Henry De Tamble is a Chicago librarian with "Chrono Displacement" disorder; at random times, he suddenly disappears without warning and finds himself in the past or future, usually at a time or place of importance in his life. This leads to some wonderful paradoxes. From his point of view, he first met his wife, Clare, when he was 28 and she was 20. She ran up to him exclaiming that she'd known him all her life. He, however, had never seen her before. But when he reaches his 40s, already married to Clare, he suddenly finds himself time travelling to Clare's childhood and meeting her as a six-year-old. The book alternates between Henry and Clare's points of view, and so does the narration. Reed ably expresses the longing of the one always left behind, the frustrations of their unusual lifestyle, and above all, her overriding love for Henry. Likewise, Burns evokes the fear of a man who never knows where or when he'll turn up, and his gratitude at having Clare, whose love is his anchor.

Venus Gundam
This mobile fighter is based on the Noble Gundam which appeared in series G Gundam. The Venus Gundam was constructed using advance and experimental technologies from companies such as Wayne Enterprises and also contributions from groups of extraterestial origins such as the Thanagarians, Oans, and the extinct Kryptonians. The capabilities of the machine are similar to the Gundam that it's based on but also has new key elements added to it. First, it's modified where Sailor Venus is the only one who can pilot it. Secondly, when Sailor Venus pilots this, she's capable of doing all of her attacks but on a much larger scale. Finally, there are other newer abilities but they'll go unmentioned for now...
Head height: 16.2 meters

A pair of golden scarab amulets from ancient Egypt. The Egyptians believed the scarab was a symbol of life and rebirth, and many stone and golden versions were placed in the tombs of pharaohs as a symbol of their passage to the afterlife. A scarab amulet was worn over the heart as a replacement heart in the afterlife, since the real one would have been removed during mummification. The living Egyptians also wore them as a symbol of protection for this life and the next. The two particular ones being given are a matching pair passed down to me from my grandparents, who shared a love that lasted until the end of their days together.
And no, they're not cursed. Believe me, I checked. From: Jack Flagg for Xadium and Minako |

More ambitious in scope than any of its other animated films
(before or to come), Disney's 1940 'Fantasia' was a dizzying, magical and highly enjoyable marriage of classical music and animated images. 'Fantasia 2000', originally made for the IMAX large-screen format, features some breathtaking animation and storytelling. This box set contains both films, as well a feature called 'Fantasia Legacy'. A definite must for the lover of classical music, as well as top-flight animation. Listen, and watch, in good health.

The wait is over. After five years of development, Lead Programmer John Carmack and the id Software team have put together a revolutionary visual experience. If your PC has the juice to set this game loose and you have a thirst for first-person shooter action, you're in for a treat. Although Doom 3 is not perfect, the 3D graphics engine upon which it is built sets a new, draw-dropping standard that makes this game a must-have.
Your character is a low ranking Marine on a routine rotation to the United Aerospace Corporation's (UAC) Mars Research Facility. That's pretty much all the backstory you need. Action is the name of the game here! Neko and X, you'll love it... I'm just gonna need to borrow it for a few days when it comes in, OK? Hey, you'll be on the honeymoon it's not like you'll need it right away, right? ^_~

As seen on PGSM! Through Anubinoid technology, Go-Go has had a Star Bracelet crafted for Aino Minako. If she ever wishes to use it to transform, all Minako has to do is insert the tip of the pen into the jewel, and the power will be transferred. Then, the same henshin phrase as always, but a henshin sequence of her choice (The PGSM one is too gaudy, IMHO.) She may even boast some new attacks...

Adam's gift is a gift from all of SPD. The higher-ups have allowed The Time Lord to be deemed an honorary member of the SPD. The physical portion of the gift is a Change Notebook SP License, allowing him to transform into DekaGrey, number 90. This gives him control of a mech, the PatShuttle, and his own D-Knuckle/D-Stick combo, the D-Rifle. Modes of the License are: Change mode (performing the henshin); Phone Mode (acting as a communicator); Judgement Mode (to judge caught Alienizers and perform the verdict). Aiming at Love! Target Lock!

Well, I know it's a bit odd, but your wedding gift, to both you and Minako-chan, is...a beautiful palomino horse, and a stable to be built where ever you like, or one year of free boarding at a nearby stable. You will also get a year of riding lessons, for both of you, and a stablehand robot to care for her.
Her name is Dawn Star. I thought that was a good sign, since the planet Venus is sometimes called the Morning Star. She was born in May 2003, making her a little over a year old. She is very friendly, and good for beginners!
The robot will exercise, feed, groom, and water Dawn star unless directed otherwise, so you don't have to worry about taking care of her.

After endlessly searching for the perfect gift for Xadium, Ikari Shinji finally had a moment of inspiration when he harkened back on a conversation that Xadium and him had weeks ago. Going through Amazon.com, Shinji was able to procure all of the current DB/DBZ box sets that have been released, not counting the movies and the dub-only released set of the first 12 episodes of DB since he wasn't sure how much the good doctor liked them.

Kamon - Family Emblem:
In the Muromachi period and the following Warrior Society (15c-16c), family emblems came to be used by the warrior class as heraldic markings, often seen on battle flags waving over the battle field, or on encampment curtains.
By the Edo period (17c-19c), at the height of the feudal era, the use of these emblems was established throughout Japan. as use of a distinctive mark as a symbol of one's family and played a significant role as a symbol of lineage.
While the popularity of emblems declined with the end of the feudal system, especially after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, this gold Kamon, representing the fusion of the Time Lords' seal of Rassilon and the ancient sigil of the house of Venus, signifies the start of a brand new family line as promised by the marriage.
