Question: A Punchy, Practical Guide

(Re)Boot Your Career is a punchy, practical guide to getting paid well for doing what you love and are good at. The various assessments and processes you will find in its covers are very helpful in aligning your inside passions and talents with the outside opportunities in the world of work. I particularly liked the contrarian advice to spend 80% of your time networking, and only 20% doing the spray and pray job application process, which is so automated and crowded that looking for new jobs and opportunities becomes a spiral of downward motivation and disappointment. The advice on networking and getting referrals and opportunities is particularly valuable, based as it is on the experience of seasoned professionals. The section on managing your pipeline of opportunities and getting down to negotiations is particularly valuable for those new to the process of scanning and selecting opportunities, selling themselves and negotiating with prospective employers and business partners. The final chapter is an excellent summary of the most practical parts of the book, and this will be a guide you will return to again and again for sound advice on your search for your dream job.

Knowing little of the Itjan resistance during WWII, I found this book nightly entertaining and information. I have not done any fact checking, but thoroughly enjoyed the read!

I have not had any problems with it. I am able to get a good day and a half out of each charge when before I was only have 6 hours of use.

This was just okay! Had too many flashback. One chapter you were reading about the Sister in 1500 the next chapter it might be in the early 1900 or in modern day. Hard to keep track of  characters.

Question: Great value - Great tea

The price of this tea encouraged us to try the First Harvest Ceremonial grade instead of the culinary grade we have been using. The difference was noticeable with the first cup. We will continue to order the Ceremonial grade even though it's a little more expensive.

My most fortunate set of dice, I'm both sad and glad all in one for the fact these sets are no longer in production. If you've got a set still in plastic keep it that way!

Question: Interesting world, great internal narrative, terrible conclusion

It has been three days since I finished this book and I'm still annoyed with the author.

Over the first 450 or so pages she managed to create a rich post-apocalyptic world full of mystery and a twisted yet believable morality regarding paranormal beings called "sundered" who could be claimed Pokemon style like elementals. Hazy motives on all sides and a really well done internal dialogue by a 19 year old in way over his head created a believable world, right down to the use of modern colloquialisms. Harry Iskinder isn't particularly likable but he is a strong lead role who wants to do the right thing and is genuinely confused by the world as he finds out the truth of his existence. This is an anti-hero's coming of age story and it should have lead to a better resolution.

Things go wrong. Entire cities are leveled. The main character loses almost everything of the little he had yet perseveres. The story winds down to a terrifying decision that must be made by Harry after a pretty wild reveal about what is actually going on... and then the author craps all over your expectations.

Oh, did you care about that world? That's too bad, I'm going to go all French film on you and leave everyone equally dissatisfied.

I'm resisting spoilers here, it's not easy to do. I was so very invested in this story over the weekend and it ended in such an abrupt and unsatisfying way - on par with that extra chapter at the end of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" that he warned us all not to read. The difference is, King let us punk ourselves. Ruthanne Reid didn't give us any choice.

I like all the instrumentation, and selections of songs. Music is very rich in melody and rhythms, absolutely beautiful to listen

Question: Were the writers on drugs or what???

I have loved this show since I first viewed it in the 60's.  Today, I still watch it and laugh my butt off.  It is absolutely priceless.  I keep asking myself "were the writers on drugs or what?"  A pig with opinions?  A lawyer planting crops in a 3-piece suit?  A Hungarian wife trying to kill her husband with lead-like hotcakes?  A hen that lays just the right number of eggs upon written request from the wife?  Oh, man, just way to funny.  So, SHOOST yourself to the nearest vendor, and get all three years, darlink.

Exact same thing as Prime but treats a ton more water. Save yourself the money and get Safe over Prime

Question: Because I love Winn Dixie!

This is my favorite book of all! - Great for universal truths and the blessing of making friends. Humorous! Touching!

I had foot surgery last year and had complications in healing. The boot I wore was uncomfortable and heavy-I didn't have any shoes that I could wear without my foot hurting, until I tried on a pair of sketchers. I own 6 pairs now and love them! They are extremely light and provide  much cushion and support to your feet. My heels are no longer sore and I can walk miles with no discomfort. They do run small and I had to go up a 1/2 size. Amazon is cheaper to purchase from and offers a large selection. You should try a pair on at a store for size prior to buying.

Can only be used on very deep carpet due to the sharp fang-like protrusions occuring on the underside.  While these I suppose are intended to grip carpet to prevent the mat from sliding out of place, they make it prohibitive for use on other surfaces.

Question: Love my Seattle Mariner Blanket

We have used this blanket at several of out Little League games. I was surprised at the quality of it.

I absolutely love the fragrance of this lotion, although I do expect a much thicker, longer-lasting lotion for this price.  The fragrance reminds me of my favorite perfume (New West by Aramis for Women).

Question: unfortunately I'm very disappointed

i get two Yungnuo YN 560 IV
one was working only one shoot , very short time and died !
i get this from "Everybuying" , they send me another new but it was just used and broke , its not working.
unfortunately I'm very disappointed

I hope this review helps your buying decision.  I bought this DVD player only to return it 2 days later - a real bummer.  I, like most of the reviewers, know that this player won a top seat the Benchmark DVD comparison.  The clincher was the DVI interface that plugs directly into the back of my 2-yr old 51" Hitachi HDTV.

As soon as I got it via UPS I set it up and configured the settings.  The result?  I just sat there scratching my head...I sat there for a long time.  Was this all?  Did I do something wrong?  Why does it look exactly the same as my old DVD player?  I went back and forth from old the Toshiba to the new Oppo.  I even called on my brother in law Larry and his other brother Larry to come over and take a look - they saw the same difference...that being none.

Here is my summation after tweaking it for a few hours and performing a thorough comparison.  I noticed very little, if any, difference from my existing player Toshiba Progressive scan player (with Monster Cable composite inputs) that I bought 4 years ago.  The quality of the Oppo is great, very fast to respond to inputs and quiet - looks cool - appears well built and tasteful.  The negative was that it just didn't perform much better than what I already have.  I expected more.

I did notice that the sound via the optic out was much nicer - more of a full sound.  The picture, however, was only marginally improved.  Offers 480p - 720p - 1080i.  The best on my TV was on 720p, maybe a 5% improvement in picture compared to the Toshiba.  Less grainy with smoother edges, but barely noticable.  I expected better from a digital DVI output.  Instead I got the same.

When my old Toshiba DVD player dies (I won't buy another Toshiba, a story for another time), I'll consider the Oppo again.  For now, it's going back.

Question: I would not recommend these.

I had these shoes for about a week before the soles started to de-laminate. I contacted customer support from New Balance and they failed to warranty their product. I would not recommend these.

For the diehard 49er fan, this book doesn't contribute much to what you probably already know. I felt Dunnavant placed too much emphasis on Montana's struggles in high school, perhaps trying to set the story up along the comeback theme. Perhaps he was trying to set this book apart from Montana's previous autobiographies. I did like his recent quotes from guys like Spencer Tillman and Steve Wallace. Overall, a good portrayal of a legend but not much more added to Montana's story.

Question: Love this candle warmer

Love this candle warmer! I love that I now don't have to waste the candles I've burned too low- it gives them another life- and keeps my house smelling so fresh! Also I don't worry about an open flame!  Will be ordering another one!

I ordered this tea while purchasing my usual order of Earl Grey & Irish blend. Because I enjoy the others so much, I thought this may be a great discovery.  For me it was not.  It smells like horse hay & tastes (to me) like I would imagine barn shavings would, were I to collect them & steeped them in a tea ball.  I gave it all away (I bought 6 cans in bulk!!)

Question: Required for my program. Needs to be updated, has a OLD feel to it.

A lot of the things in this book are VERY old timey.. As in, they have come up with so many evidence based practice items that makes half this book obsolete. It is not a bad book since I needed it for nursing as a required book, but my teacher tends to use EBP more than this book. Its very heavy, and I believe we could of lived without buying this...

I agree with any review that says that the base doesn't HOLD the plunger; it sits on top of it. But considering the alternative, I, personally, have found this a great improvement over the average plunger. This plunger won't hold water if you shake it out; I also recommend waiting till the toilet fills and rinsing it with the fresh toilet water. Compared to many plungers with a narrow center section, this plunger holds a miniscule amount of water. Ask yourself this: on what do you place a standard plunger? Also, have you had one with the narrow center and the water-holding pockets on the side? I find those almost impossible to empty. So all in all I choose this plunger over any other I have ever had.

Actually, I am throwing away my 2 old plungers and ordering 2 more of these (or the Quickie Lysol Plunger) today.

Also a nice watch ,looks better in person. Like the large size and the weight is good too. Nice watch at a good price.

Bright light, long lasting, good looking motion lights.  I use them in closets and hallways.  They are reliable and sturdy plus they look nice.  The motion sensitivity is spot on and the light stays illuminated for approximatley 15 seconds unless it detects more motion.  I would say using Amazon basic batteries in them, they last about a year.

Question: Two pairs now, these fit wonderfully and don't hurt!

Bought in dark blue (a midnight) a few months ago for a holiday party.  Perfect.  My feet have plenty of problems and I hate wearing nearly all shoes.  I adored the dark blue and had to buy these, the only other color I found.  Fit is fine, heel shape makes them seem like higher heels, the suede is nice nice nice.  Highly recommend.

Finding Hope is the last book in one of the best romance series I have ever read!
Finally, Jack is all grown up and he is so much more than we could have ever hoped for.
Jack has already gone through so much at a very young age.  Its heart breaking that life wasn't finished beating him down when it lands a very harsh and unexpected blow.  None of his MMA training could have possibly prepared him for this.
Jack has to learn that although life can be unfair, sometimes hope can be found in the darkest of situations and love can heal even the most broken heart.
Emilia Finn rips your heart out in the very first chapter, but slowly and oh so sweetly weaves it back together again.
This was the perfect ending to an amazing series!  I love all of the Rollin On characters.  I love that this series is not only about finding love, but also about the bonds of family and friendship!
So happy that I stumbled across these books!!!

Question: A Nightingale Shlepped Through LA Fair

I was given an advance copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

Pure-hearted Charlotte slogs through life one misadventure at a time. Sound familiar? With love for her characters, this tragicomedy unfolds not unlike Sedaris's work leaving no skirt unstapled (Read the book!). It's uplifting in a hilarious and life-affirming way. The greatest laughs come when the heart is fully invested and Ferderbar has full command of these rules of engagement.
M.Levine

Talented author. This book is a great read. I had a difficult time putting it down, and was disappointed when it was done. Thoroughly enjoyed, and looking forward to next book from this author.

Question: Great for understanding yourself and others

I recommend this for understanding how yourself and others close to you like to be loved. It's made a difference for me to understand why I feel how I do when I'm not happy. Most often it's because I haven't been getting what I needed. I also helps me reconnect with my hubby when I realized I might not have been meeting what he needs.

This was a perfect addition to my home system.  I can now play music from my phone on my home system.  The sound quality is very good and the device is small so it's easy to find a good spot for it.  The only down side is the range, maybe 20 ft maximum.

Question: One Bullet AwayGreat Book!

A riveting read by my follower Mainer. Great writing and story. Highly recommended!

I am loving these chalk markers. These are not skinny little markers. They are thick and have reversible tips. The tips are easy to change also. I love that one side has a chiseled tip and the other is regular. The colors are super vibrant and they write very smoothly. I have also used them to write on my windows with the kids and they wash off very easily. There is no lingering color left behind or staining of the glass. I would highly recommend this brand and I will definitely be buying these again when my pack runs out.

Question: Ghostboat - another 70's classic

As a contractor (in the Aged Care industry in Australia) I work sometimes unusual hours.  Last week I found myself with 3 hours between appointments and so I went to a favourite pub which is next door to the Government's Department of Health and Ageing here in Melbourne.  This is a very old fashioned hotel and one of the things it provides - apart from the freshest and coldest beer in Melbourne - is a library of books, usually from the 1970s.  Personally I love books from this era and I happened to pick up one called Ghostship.  3 hours later I nearly missed my appointment because I had found a great book!  If you forgive the limitations of 1970s publishing and plot construction (remember Alistair Maclean) this is purely a great story.  I'll not talk about the plot here but it rocks along and really gets you interested.  Again like other thrillers from that era there are twists that you don't expect and I found, unlike a previous reviewer, the jumping around between character perspectives to be really interesting.
The quality of this book is, unlike so many others of the genre, that without sacrificing plot for character development, you do care for the people.  The downbeat ending is also very effective.  They don't ride off into the sunset in this one.
I agree that this would make a fantastic film.  How about Harvey Keitel as Capt. Basquine, Dennis Hopper as Prof. Hardy, Ben Affleck as Ed Frank and someone like Richard Harris for Cassidy.  Why doesn't someone pick up the rights to this!  You'd make millions.

Just finished listening to "Marc Huntington Adventures" by Thom Reese, released by 21st Century Audio Theatre.
I happened to discover this collection of two of "Marc Huntington Adventures" on CD by chance a few months ago when I was driving up to Charleston, South Carolina to visit my wonderful baby sister Selma Franz and my equally wonderful brother-in-law Chris Franz.  I'm glad I decided to take the chance and purchase this CD; but I quickly learned after doing a little online sleuthing, that these are the only two adventures of Marc Huntington and his wife Dana that were full dramatized by 21st Century Audio Theatre.  Still, fans of audio dramas can be grateful that at least we have these two adventures to listen to.
"Chasing Kelvin" at first starts out to be a simple recovery operation of a stolen jewel; but quickly unravels when Marc discovers that there are terrorists aboard a train who plan to release a deadly militarized form of the plague in an attempt to subjugate the United States into their image of a democracy.
"Dead Man's Fire" is an absorbing mystery of a missing scientist who may have discovered a form of suspended animation in writing on an ancient skull.  Yet as Marc and Dana soon discover, scientists can play deadly when it comes to ideas that can change the status quo and good intentions may not always have positive results.
This collection also includes the short audio drama "Family Legacy," which is a wink-and-a-nod to Alfred Hitchock at his most humorous macabre.
There is not a lot of information about 21st Century Audio Theatre on the Internet.  The "Marc Huntington Adventures" is definitely worth the price of admission of listening to.
Highly Recommended!
Five Stars!

Question: so not too happy with the product

Cute but the stand or the feet on the bottom are not level so the product does not stand up correctly!  If you look at it wrong it falls over!  I bought this for my daughter, so not too happy with the product!

Anthony Fowles has long shown a suave and entertaining way with a mystery  - and now he combines his skill with his knowledge of the worlds, high and low, of Samuel Pepys.  Starting with the facts of an actual mystery of London of Charles II,  Fowles brings that city to life as Pepys observes it - its fascinating women, its highborn scoundrels, and the ordinary folk caught up in a history they can't comprehend.  The man who does understand what's going on is the completely aware Pepys, as he unwinds the mystery, in a spiral through a trail of clues and havoc left by the criminal puzzle he seeks to solve.  It doesn't hurt that the king himself is the client in the case and Pepys is the detective!  This is a big, compelling book, clever and sure in its portrayal of a captivating era in British history - with one of its most engaging men as its hero.  Necessary Things is definitely a book most Necessary for anyone who loves mysteries, history, or Pepys!  You won't be able to put it down!

Question: Another Excellent Read from Johnny Shaw

I've been a huge fan of Johnny Shaw's "Fiasco" novels featuring Jimmy Veeder and of his short stories starring Chingon, "The World's Deadliest Mexican," and so of course I was looking forward to his newest book, Floodgate, which has just been released. It's Shaw's most ambitious book yet, darker than his earlier efforts, more outrageous in parts, but also just as funny.

The book is set in the richly imagined Auction City, one of the darkest, dirtiest and most corrupt cities ever to appear in crime fiction, or in probably any other fiction for that matter. The name says it all--everything here has a price. For several generations a number of criminal gangs, the cops being only one among them, have held sway over the city, dividing the spoils and the citizens be damned. A secret group known as Floodgate has kept the peace for years, mediating between the various factions and reminding them to keep their eyes on the prize, namely the profits they all can reap if they don't screw the pooch by fighting each other.

The book begins on a day in 1929, when a huge riot, which became known as the Flood, virtually destroyed the city. But out of the ashes rose a new Auction City which was just as corrupt as the old one but which was usually at peace, thanks to the Floodgate. Fast forward to 1986, when practically the only honest cop in town, Andy Destra, has been framed and booted off the force after beginning an investigation that threatens to expose the corruption at the heart of the police force and, by extension, the city as a whole. Andy was left an orphan at birth and was raised by a woman he calls Champ. Like any normal person in such circumstances, he can't help but wonder about the parents who abandoned him.

Like a lot of Shaw's protagonists, Andy is a bit on the clueless side--a man who is easily buffeted by forces beyond his control and that he only faintly understands. But he is tenacious, and once he has a glimpse of the conspiracy that holds Auction City together, he's not about to give up, no matter the strength of the opposition.

The book toggles back and forth between that day in 1929 and 1986, and like the layers of an onion, the sordid secrets of Auction City are gradually laid bare. Poor Andy Destra is in mortal danger from the start, and only an alliance with the unlikeliest band of confederates that one can imagine is going to give him any chance of survival.

It's a great story, unlike any other I've read, and the deeper you get into the book the more gripping it becomes until you literally can't put it down. It's also nice to see here a nod to another of my favorite authors, Brace Godfrey. As I suggested above, with this book Shaw has set a new personal standard and really raised expectations with regard to what he might do next. For my own part, I can only say that I hope it won't take him very long. 4.5 stars for me.

Marvin the Moose is really cute and I'm sure my dogs will like it. Bummed out a little because the squeeker doesn't work. That's the part they like best :(
If the squeeker worked this would be at least a 4, and possibly a 5 star.

While the appearance of these is fine, they are flat and braided like a rug, so not all that comfortable. It was my fault that I did not fully read the description...I read "sunbrella" and assumed they were cushiony rather than braided. I decided to keep them anyway.

Question: First Airborne Task Force

This is a good book, with a lot of information.
I have gone through it many times and found it valuable.

Seth's latest book hit a chord with me- not only about how to make sure you can create value and become an indispensable part of your working life- but also on the work process.  Being a Linchpin is like being a Trust Agent (book by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith) in that it requires you to look beyond the job at hand and invest yourself personally in your work- and in the end, this makes all the difference in any project, work or personal.

Being involved with many projects on a consulting basis, I sometimes find myself as the person who is urging the group to examine the upsides and downsides before acting- not to be a wet blanket, but to get all of the downsides out of the way, so we can proceed uninhibited towards the "ship" date.  Reading the sections on Linchpin discussing "thrashing" made me feel better about this.  I really think being a Linchpin involves more than cheerleading positive attitudes, but instead involves being honest, open, and about speaking out, even when that may not be the easy thing to do, assuming you have the best interests of the whole group firmly in hand.

Linchpin is a great book about how to achieve long term success by doing what you do best and harnessing your creativity.  I wish there was some other language available other than "artist" to use, since that sometimes has a connotation around "temperamental"- and what Seth is really asking us all to do is to invest our authentic selves in everything we do.  It's a high calling, but perhaps the most important call to action you can get this year.

Question: Depends on your tastebuds

Unfortunately, I think the quality of this product is really dependent on how you taste things.  I'm not sure there's much that I can tell you that will be particularly helpful to you in terms of figuring out whether or not you'll like the flavor.  Personally, I enjoyed the taste, but then I am relatively tolerant of a lot of artificial flavors.  If you're more sensitive to that sort of thing, you might want to steer clear.  I did find the blueberry flavor to be pretty mild, and it could easily be lost if you happen to be a person that takes their coffee light, with a moderate to heavy amount of milk or cream.  You're not going to be slapped in the mouth with an incredibly overwhelming taste of blueberry.

Decent book - some recipes I have seen before, a few I have not.  Some are good for kids to help make.

Question: Great for a Christian Library

This is a great resource to have on apologetics by a top apologeist. Dr. Norman Geisler should be a house hold name for Christians everywhere, and this book is something that is a must. I read this text on my drive to Ontario Canada from Los Angeles and I finished the text cover to cover. I read this text in 2001 and it was damaged in the winter of 2002. I need to replace it. It's a great book, and it goes through so many different apologetical issues. Woldviews, textual issues, cults and religions etc. Dr. Norman Geisler is one of thee top defender of Truth.

Maybe I'm a klutz, but there's a small blue tab on this screen that's supposed to be peeled away for the final application of these screens. It DOES NOT PULL AWAY without lifting off and/or fatally creasing the screen as well. The blue tab is completely pointless, and since I ordered two of these just in case, the blue tab ruined BOTH of them. Looks good in the description, but cannot believe more people haven't complained about this. If there had been a ZERO stars option, I'd have chosen that.  Too expensive for this kind of instant loss; buy yourself a milkshake instead.

Question: If you have a fever and the only cure is more bass

I purchased these directly from Bluedio and not here on Amazon, but feel that my experience differs from some of the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

The good:
Great price.
The build quality is excellent. This feels like a premium headphone.
The packaging is also very good when compared to other models in this price range.

The not-so-good:
They are a bit heavy. The materials look and feel good, but you sacrifice weight as a consequence. Over time, this shouldn't be an issue.

The bad:
The bass is ludicrously insane crazy. Guess how much bass these have and multiply that by a thousand. I could not find a song that wasn't overpowered by bass. Tried Dr. Dre and my head almost exploded. The headphones squeeze your head a little bit to cram more bass in your ears. When I regained my hearing, I tried Justin Timberlake. Made my ears bleed. Then Styx. Great until the drums or bass started to play. Finally, ended up with Wayne Newton. Even he was all about that bass and I gave up.

Lastly, there is some head clamping force that the headphones produce (even with a smaller head like mine). Don't believe me? I dare you to put these headphones on without stretching them and play music even at 75% volume for more than a few minutes. Again, I expect this to be less of an issue after using the headphones over time.

So, don't expect to play these right out of the box. Stretch them a little bit and keep the volume low. These cans sound much better at a low volume, but the bass will still be pronounced.

I would recommend these headphones to only the most ardent bass fans. If you can't seem to find any set of headphones to satisfy your bass lust, you should give these a try.

I use this everyday and I love how it keeps time so accurately.  It is also very easy to read.  The size is perfect for my wrist.  I don't like small watches but I don't like the overly huge watches neither.  This is just the right size.  It looks very classy even if it is not an expensive luxury watch.  I wear it when I shower and whenever I go for a swim.

Question: Very Good, Almost Great with Caveats

Very good and almost great. The build quality is great, high quality handle-rollers and cabinet and a great set of inputs and controls: just what I wanted. In addition, the wireless mic is actually pretty good with a good pickup pattern and has a noticeable, but not objectionable, pre-amp noise level.
The downside is that the pre-amp section for the two mic inputs is really, really noisy.  As soon as you plug into either of those inputs you are going to get a noticeable loud hiss that cannot be eliminated.  I have had two of these and they are identical.  The guitar input has less gain but does NOT have that issue so if you have a high output mic or external pre-amp you are good to go.  You also can use a Phantom Power pre-amp and a condenser mic into this guitar input and it will be quiet.  The two mic inputs are plain out noisy and start the noise as soon as you plug ANY cable into them, even without a mic!  One other fixable item: the stand pole mount plate on the bottom is NOT a standard size and you should check you speaker stand to see if it will fit or as I have done, purchase the correct/standard size pole mount and replace the one on this unit.

Washed cold and dried before wearing and it fit beautifully.  Perfect nightwear for me.

Question: A well researched 'joining of the dots' that all marketers should read

The marketing landscape is evolving at such speed it's impossible to be across everything. That's why it's important to have passionate experts such as Jon Wuebben to help guide us. With Future Marketing, Jon has done the hard yards in terms of research, providing a rich vein of thoughts, ideas and insights that should get any marketer worth their salt excited about the possibilities ahead.

You get what you pay for.  Plastic clamps and weak supports immediately deflect.  Likely cant tighten down effectively after a few removals and reinstall.  I had this cover on for a week and sorely missed another TRIfold brand - one of which I had for 8 trouble free years prior on another vehicle.  The release clamps for the back are clumsy and you are never sure if this will seal out water. I wouldnt recommend for a long term commitment to a vehicle - short term to make a sale  - sure - you'll save about 1/2 over a better quality brand.

Question: I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

I absolutely loved for love and donuts! I usually tend to shy away from inspirational romance novels(because I'm more spiritual than religious and also because I prefer the racy romance novels) but I couldn't put the book it down it was great! .  I look forward to reading more books by Sophie Mays.

Print is to small for moderate distance visual and ink is very faded! Very disappointed! Live the design but would have preferred larger print and bolder ink

Question: Great book on the Cottrell family history

While researching my family history, I discovered this book. Very well written and confirmed much of the information I had found and filled in gaps that I didn't have. If you're a Cottrell or interested in history, especially the founding of Richmond, Virginia, you'll find this interesting.

I love these Bai5 drinks. The lemon flavor is good and tart, without any artificial taste to it. One of my fave flavors of the bunch! For some reason, though, the Bai Supertea tops are VERY difficult to twist off. I guess they're different plastic than the others. That makes it a challenge to drink. Once you have it open, though, it's great!

Question: What a touching story

Becky Due scores again with "Touchable Love, An Untraditional Love Story"  I thoroughly enjoyed this story and have already suggested it to a few of my friends.  Christy is the main character, and the author does an amazing job developing this character.  In the beginning, she is in a really low place, trying anything to find happiness and self worth.  She finds heself in a lifestyle void of anything meaningful.  She decides to use her love of photography to try to find meaning.  Here, we meet another charater Due has done a great job developing, Paul, a man with regrets who is dying of AIDS.  Christy and Paul develop an unique friendship and you'll enjoy reading how they help each other.  Due creates novels with a romantic elements but that are much deeper than a regular romance novel.  You will enjoy the thought process involved in this story as well as the story.

Do not buy these if you wear a size over a women's size 2.  They will not fit  anyone above that size.

Question: Must have for accessible lipsticks***

I love this lipstick organizer! My collection is growing and I needed something to keep my favorites in easy, accessible reach. This does the trick and so much more. It came with an extra divider to set on top, in case you want more lipstick tubes up there but I'm saving it. Instead I keep perfumes, lotion, etc. So it definitely has useful space. Plus it looks really pretty.

I ordered these and I must say that I am really enjoying them. They are great sheets for the price. That said, the reason I only gave 4 stars out of 5 is that they are definitely NOT 1500 thread count. I'm not even into higher thread count sheets and I can tell. Additionally, the royal blue color is quite purple-y-- not the shade of royal blue that the picture indicates.

Question: Reformation Devotional

Godspeed is a devotional book based on the reformation and having just passed 500 years of celebrating it, I found a great interest in reading this book.  It also just so happens that at the same time of reading this book it fit so nicely with the historical studies that were going on in our classroom at school.  I found that the author adds bits and pieces of so many voices over the time of the Reformation.  They are written in such a way that really makes you think and ponder and read them more than once to get the concept at times of what hes saying.  Personally, to me, I thought there were great devotional writings scattered throughout.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was a great story with good, likeable characters with redeeming qualities. There was romance and tension without being graphic. I can't wait for the next story I'll definitely be reading it.

Question: Great for little space.

We bought this as a tomato trellis and it works well in a very large patio pot. The Early Girls came out fine and the trellis worked perfectly. Good option when your cramped for space.

Good science fiction!

This book is the sequel to book 1 "Harvestman"  It does stand alone enough that a reader of only this book will still enjoy the story.  How did the sequel do?  I thought it was much better then the first.  The story starts at a slower pace as the main character is recovering from the events in book one.  Though slower I actually enjoyed this part of the book and was quickly captured by the story and scenery.  Part 2 begins the more adventurous phase of the story and it does not disappoint.  As the story developed I felt if there was a flaw to the tale it was that things happened a bit too coincidental.  I suppose this is to be expected to keep our main characters in the thick of the action.  The heroine discovered the enemies plan and is forced to overcome and prevent catastrophe.  The book ends with a twist but it did reach adequate closure.

Give this a try.  It's well worth the price and holds its own with any military science fiction or space opera out there.

Question: A lifeline for the super-organized DIY bride.

This has made my wedding planning so much simpler.

The PROs: It is so organized! Everything is tabulated, including sections for the timeline and budget, the outfits and styling, the catering, the entertainment, etc. There are pockets included for holding receipts and business cards, which was very handy. The binder opens and closes, so you can add more pages yourself, such as menus, contracts, etc.

The CONs: The binder seems to be written under the assumption that you are an heiress with an enormous wedding budget. (The sample budget was $30,000, not even in my ballpark!) It constantly suggests you get a wedding planner, when the whole purpose of the binder is to plan it yourself.

Some people have argued that you could easily print out all the pages online and made a similar binder yourself. That's possible, but in this case, someone else has already done that for you, and in a nice, sturdy binder. Isn't that worth saving yourself one more thing to do? :)

I took this with me to every meeting we had with different venues and shops and it has been a lifesaver.

Learned about this product in New Zealand.  It is easy to make and delicious.  There are so many flavors available!  Added plus is that it makes a whole LITER of yogurt, so it is cheaper than buying it in the store.  Mmmmm!

Question: So disappointed with this slide

So disappointed with this slide. After one time playing on it, the speed ramp had two holes along a seem. We were able to patch them. Only a few more uses and the slide tore where the stakes went in, a few times later the entire plastic tore from the ramp.  The kids liked it the few times they got to use it.

I have not had such pleasure reading a book in such a long, long time as this one. I read at least 400 romances a year. Not since Bridget Jones have I enjoyed a contemporary novel this much where I get so vested in the two lead characters. I love them both!  This has to be made into a movie!  Imagine the possibilities of who can play Shortcake, Josh and the rest of the crew? Bridget Jones meets Fifty Shades!!!!

Question: An valuable but incomplete picture

Some previous reviews notwithstanding, this book does not provide a sufficiently complete overview of homeschooling as practiced today. It focuses on the viewpoints of those who favor an "unschooling approach", where the child pursues his own interests and curricula are de-emphasized or unused. This makes the book interesting and valuable, since parents get the chance to consider the possibilities of this type of methodology, but other the other principal means of homeschooling a child (a traditional curricula at home) gets less emphasis. I would recommend that those seriously interested in homeschooling read other books or materials to get the whole picture.
I think parents who follow some of the ideas expressed in this book need to be careful that their child receives a well rounded education. Some of the contributors may seem to suggest that children will "pick up" what they need as they pursue personal interests, but I don't think that will happen in all cases. Children and parents who get the privilege of homeschooling need to take on the responsibility of getting a good foundation in all major subject matters, even those they don't like. Also, some kids may have aptitudes they won't discover unless parents really insist that they give each subject a good, solid chance. But the good news which this book brings out is that homeschoolers have the flexibility to really focus on special talents, and need take only moderate amounts of time on those subjects which aren't so important to them personally. Homeschooling families also have the freedom to approach notoriously "boring" subjects from non-conventional angles to create more interest.
To sum up, I recommend this book because it will introduce options and make the reader think, which is really good. However, more research is needed before any family even makes preliminary decisions regarding the best way to educate their child.

First, thanks to all of you reviewers who delve into details - story lines, character development and production values. I am reviewing the movie because of the way it makes me feel - lower blood pressure, faith that all will come out right in the end, respite from the travails of my world, etc.  This is a wonderful presentation of one of my favorite Jane Austen books with all of the players in exactly the right, believable roles.  I am not an expert on the period but Thompson makes me believe she and her production staff are.  For an Anglophile, the beautiful English countryside is as much a character as the players.  I seldom watch movies without some other household project going, but when the DVD arrived my husband and I sat down and watched this together over lunch.

Question: Wouldn't be able to give this printer away!

I didn't purchase this with Amazon, I bought it at the Mac store when I purchased my Apple desktop.  Out of the box installation was pretty easy.  It took me awhile to get used to it, because I'd always used HP's previously.  But, I did get used to it and really loved the low ink prices.  However, and it's a big however, the printer disconnects every time there is a cable blip or power blip.  Reconnecting it not easy.  Going through the prompts on the printer itself, reloading the software onto the desktop, and finally unplugging the printer and letting it rest for 24 hours, were the only solutions.  I had a computer pro help me and he just shook his head.  He had never seen anything like it.  Since I live in an area where there are frequent "blips" I'm giving up.  The Apple store wouldn't do anything for me, and there was nothing online at Epson to address the issue.  I just ordered an HP printer from Amazon and hope for the best!

These are just stickers that You put on the wall, not the hard plastic stars.  They are perfect for my son's room (17 months) as he can't pick them off the wall- they're completely flat!  There are 4 sheets of stickers, so there's a sheet for each wall.  the first night we had them up, we waited until it was completely dark in my son's room, turned on the lights for a few minutes then turned them off.  These stickers are BRIGHT.  And my son loves them, so they're worth the price by far.  Also, since they're so cheap, when we move (military family) we can jut toss these in the trash and buy new ones instead of keeping them.  Perfect all around.

Question: Good Boys Turn Bad, (in a Good way!)

I'm sick of everyone saying that these guys blew it this time around. 'NSYNC has finally decided to break away from their fluffy "boy band" image and, for the most part, have been successful. The song No  Strings Attached is a rockin' track, and I Thought She Knew is probably one  of the best slow songs I've ever heard, period. If you're in to heavier,  digital pop, go for No Strings Attached!

Well known in libertarian circles, Darryl Perry has done an exceptional job researching the words of ancient texts, and applying logic and historical knowledge to the citations.

Question: Great shoe. Well made and stylish in a funky ...

Great shoe.  Well made and stylish in a funky sort of way.  Very comfortable too. Look like (and feels like) they all last forever. AND, the price was right.

What a great skull cap for an insanely low price.

My cycling gear is starting to get old so I'm replacing a lot of my stuff. I was apprehensive buying this cap online because I have a melon head, 7 5/8 in New Era cap size. But after reading the reviews I was confident this would work. I tried it on as soon as it arrived and it fit snug and was comfortable.

What I like:
 It's comfortable
 Wicks away sweat
 Offers UV protection so I don't get funny lines on my forehead from my helmet
 Easy to wash

Dislikes:
 Came in white color only. I just hope it doesn't get super gross fast.

This is a great option if you want a premium cycling product at a bargain price. Support your local bike shops but somethings just don't need to bought from them and this is a fine example.

Question: Underneath the humor and campus shenanigans lies a gentle and compassionate look at love in many forms

Once again, author McBride puts his years of teaching in academia to use in this engaging look at a small college going through some hard times.  Underneath the humor and campus shenanigans lies a gentle and compassionate look at love in many forms, and an elegiac sadness as old ways and old professors make way for the new.

Enjoyed the book very much! Loved the main character and although she was flawed you root for her til the end. The twists and shock of what's happened in her life helps you understand her fully. Great book you don't want to put down.

Question: Highly recommend for professionals and hobbyists alike

Favorite portrait lens by far! Love the versatility of this lens and the quality of it. Owned this for years now and it is still my go to lens for close up portraits and macro shots. Love also that you can flip the lens over for super macro shots. Never had any problem with this lens. Still no scratches and still takes great pictures !

I bought another volume in this Wayfaring Strangers series, "Cosmic American Music" and liked it a lot, so I thought I'd try this volume of "privately issued folk from American's back roads". Once again, I'm smitten. Some very obscure but truly high quality songs to be heard.

What this collection is, is basically a collection of singer-songwriters, mostly on their own strumming a guitar or playing a piano. No lush orchestras or full bands playing with them, just that solitary vibe. Thus the "Lonesome Heroes" title of this collection. The songs range from melodic pieces that remind me of early Gordon Lightfoot or Leo Kottke, to one song that sounds like something Nick Drake could have recorded. Beautiful indeed.

This paragraph from the liner notes aptly describes what you'll hear: "As long as the end result was somber, dark, and meditative, it didn't matter if it was a conscious choice or a happily unhappy accident. The music always revolves in every way around the singer."

And some of these voices are so striking they are almost haunting. Hats off to the compilers from the Numero Group for digging up these very striking obscurities. Well worth your attention.

Question: Well Done Good and Faithful Servant

Anita Renaghan has given the world a fairy tale that will last through the ages. And what a unique tale it is. A baby girl, raised as a boy, that grows up to be King in the land of Fontanasia.

 Queen Samantha died giving birth to the next royal child and heir to the Kingdom of Fontanasia; Avalon. Queen Samanthas only wish was to please the King with the birth of a boy child. The Queens faithful servant, Myra George, so loved the Queen that she passed the baby off as the boy King Birch so wanted, and so needed to inherit the throne to prevent Counselor Glenn from overthrowing the kingdom.  Myra arranged for the Queen to have her dying wish by wrapping the baby in a blue blanket before handing it to the dying Queen. I knew that I would have a son. Birch will be so pleased to have a son and heir to the throne.
 And pleased King Birch was, though he would have loved Avalon the same had she been presented to the world as the girl she was. He was proud and prepared Avalon to succeed him as King of Fontanasia since the day she was born. Avalon took her curious position in life to heart, rising to the occasion with courage, and compassion for her family and kingdom. Yet, she wonders how long she can compress her growing feelings for one of her faithful guards, Taggerty.
 The story ends with Avalon overcoming all sorts of adversities and being crowned King. All this by age fourteen. Is this happily ever after? Will she take Taggerty into her inner sanctum, share her closely held secret as they so admire and lean on each other to guard their kingdom? Where is the sequel?

As a military history this is first rate. Having visited Berlin,it provided a vivid impression of the fall of the city. I was troubled with the lack of social context.despite the many detailed accounts of the fall of the Nazi regime,the book never mentions the word "Holocaust" once,and the references to the liberation of Auschwitz for example give equal coverage to Russian prisoners as well as Jews.(Evidently thet could have been both).It also says without further elaboration that the numbers killed in Auschwitz were exaggerated. The book makes a persuasive case that the Nazis had conflicted priorities for the defense of Berlin and in the deployment of limited resources,but does not mention that Jews were still being deported from Berlin in 1945. None of the Nazi leadership is characterized as being anti-semitic. This was the most defining characteric of the Third Reich,and the book minimizes it.
  I give it three stars because of this troubling omission,although the book clearly fills a historical gap.

Question: Worth every penny and excellent customer service.

I've used my Bluebuds X every day for the past year before they stopped working, the Jaybird customer service was so easy to work with, I had a new pair of the new model within the same week mine broke at no cost from myself. I'll never get cheap earphones again, Jaybird has spoiled me.

I use them to workout 3 times a week, I cook with them, I do homework with them. They were designed for sports, but they are my preferred earphones for everything. The new foam eartips take a bit to get used to, but the overall fit of the new model is more comfortable. They don't need the wing tips to stay in my ears even when I've moving a lot. The sound is perfect, if you prefer more of anything just adjust it on your bluetooth device and the headphones respond.

First off, i'll be honest. I love memoirs. This is my third one in a two weeks. I like how memoirs can give me some "meat and potato" ideas to grasp on.

I found this book after hearing friends talk about the show. I took a break from work one night and watched the first, then second then third.... well, you get the picture. I watched several of the episodes.

I thought, If the series is good, the book will be better.

Here's what I know. The book isn't tv. If you are looking for a Netflix show on paper, you won't get it.
However, if you are looking for an interesting read, that takes you into the mind and thoughts of Piper, then you won't be disappointed.

Piper does write, in the almost clinical sense. But that's a journalistic style. It's not bad, it's just not gratuitously emotional.

However, it does paint a picture of what she did, went thru, how it impacted her family and more. I think the hardest chapter to read involved her grandmother's death.

I would recommend this book. I didn't buy it. It was a book I borrowed from the library. However, It could easily be one that I purchase, gasp, in paper, because I find it quite interesting and well, one I might go back to again and again.

Worth the read. Interesting and solid.

Question: Fixed a hat and a backpack myself and saved a good bit of money

Worked well for my needs. Fixed a hat and a backpack myself and saved a good bit of money. Needles could have been a bit sharper, but quality was better than expected given the low price.

I really don't like these cards, not because I got a bad pull, but because they were from arsenal packs. I wouldn't mind other card packs, but I guess there's nothing I can do. If you want aresenal pack cards, go for it, I got a good synchro monster, but other than that it's okay.

Question: Gourmet have any favorites to recommend for restaurant week

I visited one of her reviewed restaurants Friday, January 23,2015.  It was okay, nothing special.

I do realize that this is 2015 not 2012.  A more current book out there?  Does Ms. Gourmet have any favorites to recommend for restaurant week?

I enjoy her style of writing and her radio programs on Saturdays.

These feel nice to the touch and the cut is attractive on my husband. The colors did not bleed when I laundered them.

The only problem is the size. My husband has a 31 inch waist and is 6'1" and generally wears size medium in USA sizes. I ordered these in XL based on the manufacturer's sizing chart. These barely covered "the goods", and did not cover "the goods" at all during a "standing ovation."

Question: Beautiful illustrations

Beautiful book, great quality. I follow the artist on Instagram and when I saw his book was finally out I knew I had to get my hands on it. The price was a bit high for my liking, but after seeing the product in person I am pleased with my purchase.

Perfect fit and great quality and cut. Looks just like the photo. I will be ordering more for my wife. She loves it.

Bought this for my brother, a die-hard Pacer fan, for the holiday season games.

Question: Surprisingly uplifting

When I read the synopsis of the story, I wasn't inclined to purchase it but the reviews convinced me otherwise, and I am glad they did.  Thoroughly enjoyable.  Very interesting to see the world through the eyes of someone who is terminally ill, yet positively entertaining and witty.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this pad for our old, decrepit looking trampoline, but it was a fantastic purchase. My trampoline now looks brand new again. The pad fit perfectly and was pretty easy to install. You do have to lace the included strings through the trampoline, but thats the case with any pad. We had plenty of strings left over. My photos show before and after. Great purchase!

Question: Lucky cat makes a great happy gift!

Cute cat! I thought it was ceramic but will keep it
for gift giving. The paw moves by battery! The lucky
Cat brings good luck!

I am the type of person that never used to make coffee at home, I only drank it when I was out or at work because the traditional coffee maker never appealed to me.  The flavor never seemed as good as the coffee shops and the cost of filters and the mess they made never appealed to me.  Then one day someone bought me a french press that made 16oz of coffee and I fell in love with coffee at home.  The flavor and aroma is much more intense (especially if you take the time to grind your own beans while the water is heating up) and less bitter when brewed using this method vs the paper filter/drip coffee machine.  I bought the $10 toastmaster coffee grinder along with this press and recommend that to anyone that doesn't already have one since you do not want to buy pre-ground coffee at the grocery store (the grind is too fine since it's made for drip machines).

Pros:

*Stainless steel pot.

*Keeps coffee warm for an hour (maybe more... never had it stick around that long)

*Very easy to use

*Very easy to clean up.

Cons:

*only holds enough to fill 2 coffee cups in my house (I use 16oz mugs) so it is only good for 2 people and not company.

The best feature (in my opinion) is that this is not made of glass.  Being a clumsy sort of gal this is a very big bonus to me.  My last french press was lost to a casualty of being dropped on the floor.  :D

The pot keeps my coffee hot enough for my tastes (I am not putting cold cream into it).  I drank the first 16 ounces in about 40 minutes and then the second half was still hot for me when I was ready for more.  I'm not expecting it to stay warm for hours like some other reviewers have expressed.

The design of the plunger is simple.  The filter is all one piece so there is no need to take it apart.  I suspect the seal will last much longer than it did on my previous press because of this.  The feel of the plunger going down is very nice and firm, no wobble or give.

Clean up is a snap.  Just remove the lid/plunger and rinse that in water.  Dump your grinds straight into the trash from the pot.  Rinse it out and you're done.  For those that use coffee grinds in their compost this is very idea since there is no paper filter involved in the process.

The biggest thing to remember is that their definition of 8 cups is not the same as the average persons.  They mean 4oz cups of coffee (do people really drink that little of it?)  I measure my water and it does hold a full 32 ounces of water.

For those that have never used a french coffee press:

1) put your water kettle on the fire and let it come to almost a boil (I pull mine just as it starts to show signs of whistling)

2) while the water is heating up grind your fresh coffee beans (course grind so just a second or two does the trick)

3) pour the grinds into your coffee pot (you can also add a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla, or a few drops of extract at this point if you like flavored coffees)

4) when the water is hot pour it in (32 ounces is the limit)

5) let the grounds seep for about 4 minutes (if the water came to boil I leave the lid off while they seep, if it was almost a boil then I place the plunger in but keep it towards the top).

6) After the 4 minutes is up slowly press down on the plunger until it is all the way down.

7) pour a cup of coffee and enjoy!

These work so well at keeping the fermenting veggies under the liquid.

I usually like Monoprice products, but this one doesn't make the cut. The slider sticks, especially when in the off position and it almost feels like the slider is going to break off if you apply to much force.

Question: The Miracle and Message of Music

Leaning on the Lyrics is an inspirational book describing how listening to the combination of music, lyrics and talented performers gave her comfort and improved her perspective when it seemed like challenges were starting to overwhelm her. Although, the music wasn't always spiritual, it had that kind of effect on her, like the answers she needed were in the lyrics. Also, reading about her music and pop culture interests while growing up, brought back a lot of enjoyable memories. Reading the book has even enhanced my own experience of listening to music.

Great bag, fits under seat on flights and overhead bins with ease (unless you over pack it) Retains shape well, convenient to pack and use while travelling, straps are comfortable, and security features are tops. You need to supply the lock, but the included braided stainless cable and the intelligent clasp and zipper design do the rest. Locked it to my seat while I slept in an open car numerous times throughout Europe and never had to worry about it being gone or sliced open when I woke up.

Question: Great book from the family point of view.

Not many people in my opinion understand the Van Winkle story and I would include myself in that category until I read this book.  While some of it was a little slow at times I greatly enjoyed reading it.

Didnt like the fit or support, even with implants it didn't look right. Purchased two other shirts from this company and loved them though. Wish this one would've fit like the others, will be returning.

Question: cuts into mortgage payment

outrageously overpriced, but hey...its oil rubbed bronze.

This is a gentle tale filled with scholarly allusions, about the last  months and days Iris Murdoch spent in the care of her devoted husband, John  Bayley.  Since he was essentially alone, with rather formidable demands  placed upon him by her Alzheimer's ailment, he coped by retreating into  memories.  In this situation, his memories were strikingly vivid, and  reminded me of the  memory-influenced dreams I had during my pregnancies,  when my waking hours were racked by nausea.  The memories were not so much  a comfort to him, as a reminder of the fullness, the  "worth-whileness" of life.  I recognize this, having experienced  it, as a natural way of getting through a difficult time.
  Iris is a  strong presence in this memoir, but it tells us more about this thoughtful,  intellectual, sensitive, and good man.  The deep love the two shared is  apparent, yet it is not put on display in the arrogant manner, the "no  two people ever loved as we did, no one ever had the adventures we did or  knew the famous people we did" attitude of some other authors. The  book is sweet,  gentle, and not nearly as sad as you might expect.

Question: Weird ~ seems like eitheer the writers

Weird, Weird, Weird ~ seems like eitheer the writers, editors, or Directors missed a beat or my mind took a leap into the unknown because, I lost the thread or there wasn't one in the storyline!

Hunger is the first book in Kesslers Horsemen of the Apocalypse series. It revolves around Lisabeth, an anorexic and suicidal, seventeen year old girl. After a failed suicide attempt, Lisabeth is visited by Death and told that she is the new Famine. As Famine, Lisabeth gets an odd set of scales and a seriously cool horse which is capable of transporting her all over the world in a matter of minutes. Of course, the next day, Lisabeth assumes it had all been a dream and tries to go on as normal.

Unfortunately, normal for Lisabeth is a dark and scary world where her inner Thin voice is constantly berating her and monitoring ever calorie taken in or burned off. Her friends are beginning to notice her slow starvation, but when they confront her, Lisabeth gets angry and feels more isolated. The only person who understands her is Tammy, a bulimic who supports her in her disorder.

When Lisabeth discovers that the visit by Death hadnt been a dream and that she really is Famine, she has to learn her new role before either A. more innocent people suffer from hunger or B. she gets killed by the Horse(wo)man War who hates her.

Since I actually read the second book in the series first, I can tell you that these books are amazing! The writing is fresh and solid. Kessler is able to put the reader right into the minds of these girls, so that we experience every emotion right along with them. Ive never had an eating disorder or been into self-mutilation as in Rage, but I feel like I have a good understanding of the inner voices that drive these girls to do these self-destructive behaviors.

While both of the books in this series were brutally honest and graphic, I think they are appropriate for most teen readers.  In fact, the lessons they teach about the sufferers of these issues are invaluable.  Unless a teen is immature for their age, I think these are great books for them to read.

I also love the world or the take on mythology that Kessler uses for this series. Ive never given the Horsemen much thought before and the idea that they are beings that exist in the world all of the time and not just at the time of the Apocalypse is new to me.

Overall, I give Hunger

Plot - 4 bookmarks
Character Development - 5 bookmarks
Supernatural Elements/World Building - 4 1/2 bookmarks

Dream Cast (otherwise known as who I pictured while reading)  Dakota Fanning (Lisabeth), Kurt Cobain (Death), Sarah Allen (War), Christopher Heyerdahl (Pestilence)

Question: There is a misunderstanding...

It seems many people in the reviews think they are reviewing Eat, Pray, Love the original memoir from Elizabeth Gilbert. I loved that book. THIS BOOK however is NOT that. THIS book is a collection of essays. Its a bunch of stories of people feeling badly for themselves that then read a book and had a revelation that they don't need to be so self loathing and can actually get out and live their lives in a different way than they had previously been doing. While I 1. am very happy they all made this decision to change their lives, and 2. Am very happy they found this book that inspired them to do so, reading the stories of this over and over was painful. I suppose that was my choice to take on this book but I stopped a page 100. I can't do it any more. It's the same gist over and over, "I hate my life, I found Eat Pray Love, I'm going to make all these drastic changes to make my life better". Honestly I'm truly happy for all those who wrote pieces in the book and found happiness, but this was not worth the read to me personally. It was a redundant and depressing look at the human condition, although I could see how others might think it's beautiful that all these people found a way to change.

At first, my daughter and nieces and nephew were excited that this was a pirate game.  The excitement did not last long when they began reading the instructions that they found a little overwhelming.  These are teenagers, not small children.  They did enjoy the game when they finally got started.  Overall, I would say that this is a fun game, but maybe not for younger kids.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and all opinions expressed here are my own.

Question: So happy with this seller.

Okay so first off, the sizes are Asian so order a size up. Learned that the hard way. This particular seller is sooo nice. Theyre fast to respond and very accomodating. I'm not as happy with this as I have been with other purchased from the "ours" store simply because my legs aren't lonn and thin like the model. That said, overall I'm happy with this item and would probably order it again.

Although pricey, the Gardena Sprinklers work great.  Cheaper ones stop oscillating.  This unit is very easy to set and adjust the range of the spray.

great battery life, good range and easy to use; good quality product, built well and will last for a while.

works well but it will not charge a completely drained battery. I have to use an older charger to charge those but after a few minutes on the old charger I can transfer it over to the new one. It does take a long time to charge a 9v but I guess it should since it is 9volts  instead of 1.5 like the other sizes.

Question: Excellent Ebook Reader!

I have been wanting one of these Pocketbook 360 Plus ereaders for a long time, and finally saved up enough to buy one.  It was worth it!!  Although a little pricey, I hope that will not deter you from buying one.  The size and weight are perfect and the controls are easily reached. Probably the two best things are (1) it comes with a built-in hard cover for the screen (which is glass, not plastic), and (2) it reads just about every ebook format there is without any need for conversion!  You are not stuck with just one or two formats. One of the best buys I've ever made.

Great little device!  Since most HD TV's have one or two HDMI inputs this makes people like me, to seek out  other options to hookup more devices than the HDTV can accommodate without a receiver. First, I have Direct TV but I wanted to connect two Direct TV receiver boxes (Whole Home Genie & a HD standard) as well as a Blu Ray Player up to my Samsung HD TV.  I used a splitter to hook up one coaxial lead to my Whole Home Genie receiver and the other coaxial lead to my Standard HD receiver.  Then I used a HDMI cable to connect the Standard HD receiver to the HDTV using one of the two HDMI ports available.  I then connected  the Whole Home Genie receiver and the Blu Ray player to the "Switcher" ports one & two.  Then I connected the "Switcher" via HDMI to the remaining HDMI port on the HDTV.  What prompted me to do this is that the Whole Home Genie does NOT have the "auto tune" programming feature on it while the Standard HD receiver does.  Since the "Switcher" defaults to it's port # 1 that has your Whole Home Genie connected to it your Blu Ray player will fire right up when turned on and the "Switcher" does the rest.  Downside:  Three remotes (HD Standard receiver (turns TV and Standard HD Receiver on) / Whole Home Genie remote to access the features associated with this system / and the Blu Ray remote.

Great alternative when connecting multiple devices to your TV.  Highly recommend!

This is a touching book that explores the hardships and sacrifices a person faces in adapting to a new culture.  The primary focus of the book is the determination and inner strength necessary for immigrants to survive and integrate into a foreign culture.  The story is told through the experiences of a young Chinese girl who immigrates to the US with her mother.  Kwok makes her fears and frustrations palpable and adeptly demonstrates the pressure and tension Kimberly feels as she struggles to understand the language, cultural differences and the poverty stricken conditions of their life.  The author also demonstrates that the strong bond between mother and daughter is the glue that holds them together during their near constant battle to overcome obstacles.  It's interesting to note that this author's personal experiences come into play as she emigrated from Hong Kong to the United States.  The extraordinary perspective and nuances present in this book reflect this.  In short, a moving coming of age story with complex characters and many intriguing layers.  A great book for anyone who enjoys character driven novels and appreciates a beautiful clear writing style. Very nice debut.

Question: Timmy with longer hair pitches better

This is a very nice product, and comes with its own World series trophy!
Mr. Lincecum is a good player, threw that no-no with 148 pitches this year, and while he gets no bat support, he always has many more strikes than balls on his daily count.
The figurine is very detailed, looks somewhat like him, and is a fun thing to have.
 A two time Cy Young winner, I think someday he will be able to be in the hall of fame.
Until then, go Giants, I have my action Timmy ( The freak) figurine, and life is good. I can't afford the online auction items, but this is a good way to enjoy baseball and feel connected with the Giants.
If you like the Giants, go get one for your desk, or shelf, or your favorite place.

Very poorly made! The wind up didn't work either. I don't recommend purchasing this item!
