Question: SIOP works for English learners

I love this book. It is the easiest textbook to read. Every chapter is labeled according to content. For example, chapter five is on strategies, and it describes the strategies related to building and implementing a SIOP lesson plan. Each chapter contains an element of the SIOP lesson plan, it's significance, and practical advice on how to implement the element.

SIOP: sheltered instructional observation protocol
Here's what that means: Sheltered instruction is where English learners are not pulled out of the classroom. They stay with the whole class and everyone learns the same content together. The SIOP model works for Expanding and Bridging English learners. Emerging English learners are not guaranteed to learn through the SIOP method, and schools typically have their own protocol for teaching and grouping early English learners.

Here is why teachers need to know about SIOP: it is research based and has been proven effective for English learners. Generally, EL students fall behind with traditional instruction. With SIOP, ELs have a better chance of success.

What about the students who already speak English? Will their instruction suffer from a lesson plan that's build for teaching EL's? Not at all! The SIOP lesson plan is for the sheltered classroom, which means that it benefits English speakers and English learners. The methods used help both groups of students.

Here's an example of a strategy: Preparation, vocabulary. Before the lesson, the instructor picks out the essential vocabulary from the lesson, typically tier two and three words that English learners probably won't know and that English speakers might not know either even if they have heard the word before. For example, if the word "product" is in the reading, the teacher would teach the word and what it means in context. This step ensures that every student, when they get to that part of the text, will know what it means and have a better chance of understanding the text as a whole. The step helps ALL students to learn by giving them an essential piece of the puzzle.

Question: Its okay! Serves its purpose

The case is nice and it has the smart case technology. Only downfall is that the magnetized screen cover, when folded behind iPad causes it to shut off if it touches it just right, I solved this problem by folding the cover in on itself.

Matched the same color of my other shirts and now they stayed tucked in.

Question: Second time's a winner

I'm a fan of shoes.  A great boot is a must have in the fall & winter.  When I first purchased this wonderful pair I received a lot of complements.  They are somewhat comfortable around the foot but do not offer much in cushioning.  Within the first month the heel broke.  Needless to say I was heartbroken.  I exchanged them for a new pair because I really want these boots to be in my collection.  So far the second pair shows no sign of potential issues.  I rate it 4/5 for the problem with the first pair.

As a life-long Superman fan I have been waiting for a fresh new start, a modern take to the man of steel and finally my prayers have been answered! This Graphic novel is the beginning of something extraordinary! I can only hope that they make this new twist into a longer series. Now to buy Volume 2!

Question: Leaves some articles visible

The material is good quality. It was easy to install and use but it leaves an open space of approximately 12 inches behind the  passenger seats. This will allow someone looking in the window to see some of the stored items.

Question: Fresh ideaa for Nora Roberts

Always love Nora Roberts. This is a new and different story for her with more intrigue. The characters are very believable, the plot interesting, and as always, I love the dialogue

These Blue Lounge nest iPad stands are a great aid for viewing the iPad both vertically and horizontally and the pad doesn't slide off the stand, even in bed.  I no longer use the cover as a stand.  That is only used as a protection when I am out and about.  These little stands are so much more useful!  I have given them as gifts to several people that I know who have iPads.  All of them have reported to me how grateful they are.  Even my apple trainer was wowed.  Easy to clean with a damp cloth.  If it begins to slide off the stand it only means it is dirty and a sign to you to clean it lightly and it will be back in service.  I saw these in a store but waited to purchase to see if they were sold at Amazon and it was worth the wait of a few days, as I was able to purchase them cheaper and with Amazon prime fast delivery.  (BTW I don't buy anything anymore without checking first if Amazon sells the product I am looking for)

Question: It's decent from afar

The Masione Outdoor Fake camera is a decent camera to keep people away.  Only issue is that if they get up close they will notice the cheap quality of the camera itself.  It is all cheap plastic and if you get close enough it shows.
On the other hand, from the sidewalk or from the street it looks real enough to keep most away.  I installed these in the back of my house just to keep the kids in the neighborhood honest and any possible wrong doer away (at least hopefully).
With the rash of burglaries in the neighborhood I hope this helps keep them from targeting my house.
The camera lights look pretty good but not sure how authenticate they look.  I will have some friends take a look and see what they say.
Only wish they had a better case either metal or a better looking plastic.
I received this product at a discounted price for my honest and unbiased review.

I think it looks cool on my dog. Makes him look like a huntin' dog. It was really long so I decided to cut it to fit him better. Works well with the Petronics e-collar I already had.

Question: Readable Compendium of Information

What is original about this book is not so much the information in it as the idea of gathering it all in one volume. Anyone who has studied native Americans, Indian captivity narrations, Cynthia Ann Parker, her son Quanah, the Comanches, John Ford, John Wayne and the making of "The Searchers" will know most of the material here. However, having it all in one place and with a sympathetic weaving together of the many strands that led to "The Searchers" being a great movie is what is worth the price of admission. (Anyone who hasn't studied the movie and its background very carefully will find new information.)

Incidentally, this is not a terribly well edited book. There are quite a few minor errors--as cited in other reviews--but nothing that ruins the overall effect.

As another reviewer noted, this plane is a lot of fun for a while.  With a little practice, it's easy to fly, very slow, and has quite a bit of power for such a small model.  BUT, my plane arrived with the ultra-thin plastic already separating from the wing.  I got some gift wrap tape and taped it back on, and to my surprise, worked fine.  Well, after one flight and a minor crash, the rest of the plastic was separating.  More tape, this time all the way around, and it was in the air again.  It didn't seem to affect it adversely.  Then, one slightly hard landing and the landing gear broke.  This was much harder to fix, but after some very careful gluing, it was in the air again.  Next time, the other side of the landing gear broke.  More glue.  You're getting the picture by now.  Then, several days of successful flights, and I was starting to get pretty good, until it VERY gently hit a nearby tree.  The plane was barely moving and just bounced of.  I didn't think much of that until the motor wouldn't start.  It was then I realized the front wing support had snapped, and in the process had pulled the tiny power wire out of the engine, and it was impossible to get it back in.  There are plenty of replacement parts, but getting the plane apart to replace the parts without breaking other parts is pretty hard.  Now it needs a new motor, landing gear, and front wing.  It really was fun while it lasted, but if this plane is to last very long, you better know what you're doing.  If you're new to rc planes, take this to an open grassy space with no wind (it doesn't need to be huge), and practice, practice, practice.  Once you've got it down, it's not hard, but it simply cannot take running into much.  Fly it over a soft surface, and if you get in trouble, just cut the power and let it float and it will be fine.  Just be aware that it is not a trainer, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for an absolute novice.

perfect as is with a scrumptious citrus zest or can add red bell peppers in a food processor or whatever else you fancy for company

I enjoyed reading this, it reminded me of when I was young and I loved to read short stories/mysteries and try to figure out who did it.  I will highly recommend this to my family members who have young kids or grandkids.  I think the adults will enjoy reading this with them as much as the children.

Question: Openings misaligned, customer service is a joke

I got 2 Krussell cases, for myself and one as a gift. Once the initial excitment of putting the case on and feeling its tight fit was over, the reality set in -- the case openings, with exception of earphone, were all off. I thought perhaps to give it some time, to strech out. But that hasn't happenned.

On the bottom, the acess to sync port, headphone and power ports -- the case cutout never lined up from day one.

What's worse, the speakerphone is solidly covered, so I people can't even hear me.

I contacted Krussell with detailed photos of all the numerous issues with the case. In response, Krussel, asked me to send the case in -- for them to review the issues with no indication of when I would get replacement.

The expense of sending the cases to Scandinavia and most importantly the wasted time, was not worth it.

Bad treo case, even worse customer service.

I am a big fan of Christmas stories, and this book was no exception! The characters spoke to me as if I knew them! They were realistic and interesting. I loved the supernatural aspect of the story, as well. The plot moved along at a nice pace, and it was a fun, quick read that kept me entertained.

Question: not as good Carina style

I have purchased three pairs of the carina, and all fit perfectly, and rolled my foot forward, which i really need. I thought this style would be the same, as it too had a thong, but the side straps, although stretchy, are a bit tighter than i like and prevent my foot from sliding all the way down to the toe strap; though hopefully  they will loosen.
the platform heel is slightly lower than the carina and it doesnt allow the rocker motion as much as the carina.
but i love the color and the beads. the arch support seems ok, but not as pronounced.

If I could give 0, this product would get it. Just an FYI if you have a Samsung phone and the glass/lens is pretty badly fractured, you're gonna have to get the LCD replaced. $200 from a cell phone repair shop. I tried to replace just the glass and wasted money on a completely useless product that this is. The tools they give you are inadequate, the plastic "glass" had scratches and the quality of the product was cheap, with the instructions being incoherent. $9.99 looks like a good deal but the cost of the product is probably around $0.50 and there's little chance you are going to be able to do it yourself, even with a heat gun like I did. Take it to the pros and don't waste your money on any "glass only" sold online.

Question: It's ok. Only 2 full (2 page) scenes.

This book has great reviews and was modestly priced and my daughter just starting having an interest in trains, so I thought why not? It's a bit underwhelming. The "6 pages" include 2 single pages in the front and back and 2 full spreads (4 pages total) in the center of the book. The images are a bit difficult to use as play landscapes because they're rendered in natural perspective (meaning the part of the track that is supposed to be further away in the picture is drawn smaller than the track in the foreground). The magnets are excellent, the little plastic container in the back of the book is great, but the book itself is not good. Not bad for the price, but still disappointing.

This would have been my third pair of arm sleeves for running, but I sent them back in a hurry.  I like to wear arm sleeves for those in-between temps around 45-55, when I get too warm after the first couple miles.

Why it gets 3 (not 4) stars:
-- They are much too small.  At 5'4" and 125ish lbs. I went with the XS/S, as the only other option was M/L.  My "guns" are certainly nothing noteworthy, and these were insanely tight on the biceps.
-- The color is listed as blue/black,  but the pink highlighting was way more prominent in person than in the picture. (Boo!)
-- A bit pricey at $25

Why it gets 3 (not 2) stars:
-- Quality fabric and construction
-- The elastic at the top of each sleeve was grippy without pinching.
-- Cool pattern.  If they had fit, I would probably have kept them, and just ignored the pink.

Happy running!

Question: Not very pleased with used book from Glen the bookseller

I ordered my book from glen the bookseller. It came within a reasonable time, took about a week to come, not bad. My biggest problem however was the fact that the book was full of markings and writings. Now I have bought used books from Amazon before and they looked great, looked almost new but I get this book and it's full of pencil markings and I find this very unacceptable. I'm sure the previous owner could've erased these markings. Not very pleased with this. On the brighter side of things, this book is a great book for anyone studying to be in the hospitality industry. Great text! Very good at explaining and getting to the point. Doing a hospitality degree? This book is for you!

I walked into a book store and I did not know that there was a series. So when I ordered the Christmas Signed, Sealed Delivered I found the series also. I am so glad I ordered it. I loved all of the series videos. It was also delivered before the date it was to arrive. Thanks for saving me some money and for adding to my movie collection.

Question: Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme grinder

Let's start at the beginning.  When grinding coffee one must stay by it and shake it to keep the coffee beans feeding into the grinding hopper.  Then to take the lid off the holding bend, coffee goes onto the counter or it drops from the lid.  One cannot empty the finished ground coffee directly into the coffee maker's basket as the basket is square and large too big so grinds goes everywhere.  An alternative of using the measuring spoon to get coffee grinds out of the square bend is, well you know, it doesn't work.  The good news it that the grind setting works.

Summary: the grinder should have been designed so the coffee beans could fall freely in the to grinder.  If a lid is needed, it should be designed so coffee would not stick to it as it does now with the groves around the sides, maybe with a tap and with easy opening.  The bend should be round and smaller than the coffee maker filter for easy empting.

I had the delight of using one of these last week when my band, The Winterlings, made our first foray into the wilds of Alaska to play a show at Cold Creek Peony Farm! Mosquitoes are plentiful in North Pole and our hosts owned ten of these very Executioners, so we took them everywhere! They zap and pop when the mosquito is swatted and the frying creates a satisfying smell, like smoked bacon! Fear not the wilderness if you have the Executioner on hand. I'd give it a five, but a few tiny ones seemed to take two swings to annihilate. These really work though. Take it from Alaskans, they have a billion mosquitoes per acre!

Question: Definitely not the best Priest album

Definitely not the best Priest album, but not the worse either.  The two highlights on the album in my opinion are Ram It Down, Heavy Metal, & Blood Red Skies.  The rest of the album just feels like filler after filler, but still definitely an album worth a listen for any person who is already a fan, especially if you enjoyed Turbo.

The cord is smaller and a lot thicker than it appears in the picture. The small cord makes it harder to turn your head without pulling one earbud out and the thick cord makes it easier to stick to your skin which can get annoying. Great bass and sound but the earbuds do not stay in my ears even with the attachments. Will get some use out of it but for the most part I will have to end up buying another pair.

It was OK, but it wasn't as good as the Halloween or Christmas Fat Albert Cartoon specials.

Is it possible for a virtual reality to become true reality? A sophomore at a new school has to find the best Sim-gamer in the school. Trouble is, she's not only the new kid, she's the RICH new kid.

Question: Hard to apply, worth the effort!

I was hesitant because Ive seen lots of bad reviews online about this. Most of it claiming it didn't fit a standard steering wheel.

First, it IS hard to apply. I couldn't even do it myself. Had to find someone stronger. At first I was defeated because it seriously didn't look like it was going to work. I tried and tried but it looked like it was too small.

Second, make sure you align it BEFORE applying as it does not move around after.

Not sure how long itll last with all the normal wear from driving around but it was DEFINITELY worth it.

The book seemed to me a little pointless.  It began too quickly, droned on in the middle and never ended.

5 stars - Compelling narrative, maps, pictures, and details similar to his book on the North African campaign, An Army at First Light. One of the best books on WWII that I have read.

I am a big fan of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA - ex.

Question: An addictive read you'll fall in love with!

Current favourites of 2011, move over and make room for Under the Never Sky. With tantalising characters and finely detailed world-building, there is absolutely no way you can resist this spellbinding read.

After being thrown out of Reverie for a crime she didn't commit, Aria finds herself in the middle of a dangerous Aether storm on the outside. At the same time, Perry leaves the Tides to search for his nephew, who he believes was kidnapped by Dwellers in retaliation to his recent trespassing into Reverie on the very same night he saved Aria from a fiery death. Watch how two people from entirely different worlds come together to form the most unexpected relationship. With such a compelling and suspense-filled plot, Rossi captures us in her addictive writing immediately and doesn't let go even after we've turned the final page. I fell in love with the strength and danger this story presented, and can't wait to read more!

Rossi has created a fascinating world I'm in total awe of. Reverie is a city enclosed in domes where Dwellers use Smarteyes to access the Realms, which are virtual spaces where you can be anyone, anywhere, doing anything. They have no chance of getting hurt, with Dwellers usually living past a hundred with their age-defying technology. On the outside, the Savages use traditional methods of hunting and shelter to survive, trained to withstand the atmosphere, Aether storms, deadly predators and more. While some background and minor elements of the world aren't entirely explained yet, the information provided is more than enough for us to envision it in our minds. I'm sure we'll get more of it in the sequel as Rossi continues to build up the layers!

With the already stunning world and plot, can you believe that there are stand-out characters too? From the moment Aria and Perry were introduced, I couldn't take my eyes off them, nor could I stop worrying about their wellbeing. Our heartstrings are tugged as the two struggle with outside evils, as well as their internal warring about one another. When they first meet, Aria is terrified of Perry because he is a Savage, while he thinks she's nothing but a weak Dweller. Along their journey, they run into Perry's best friend, Roar, a charming flirt who's very aware of the tension between the two. All three have their fair share of funny, heartbreaking, hot and sweet scenes, and will make you want to scream from the rooftops. When Perry and Aria's barriers come down, get ready for one of the best romances you'll ever read. Their relationship develops so realistically and you can see with your very own eyes how prejudiced hate turns into love.

Get tangled in this beautifully written action/adventure novel, tied together with a powerful romance you can't deny. Be warned, you may feel light-headed upon reading this so be sure you're seated...unless you're jumping up to cheer and shout...or running around the house shrieking. With final scenes that'll leave you gasping, Under the Never Sky will have you counting down to the sequel!

Question: Units of Study for Primary Writing: A yearlong Curriculum

This was very helpful for us when setting up our kindergarten writing program.

Let me start off by saying this is by far the best snowboard jacket I have ever worn.  It also costs about as much as all my previous jackets combined.  If this were $200 - $250 cheaper, I would rate it as a perfect product.  So let's get into what I think about the Macai.

*The Good*
- Comfort: The down baffles (puffy bits you normally see on the outside of a down jacket) are on the inside and make for an extremely comfortable fit.  The hood also has down lining the interior, making it perfect for some hardcore nap sessions in between runs.  Seriously, this jacket feels like you are walking around in a tailored sleeping bag.
- Fit: Arc'Teryx is known for very well fitting clothes and the Macai does not disappoint.  You can move your arms all the way around without pulling on the rest of the jacket.  Bending over (adjusting bindings, picking up that lift ticket that won't stay on, whatever) doesn't pull up at the waistline and expose your back to the cold.
- Warmth: This jacket is crazy warm. Paired with a long sleeve baselayer, you will be comfortable down to 0 degrees.  Adding a fleece or some additional insulating layer will take you below 0 no problem.
- Weather Protection: Fully taped seams, waterproof zippers, and a massive storm hood (big enough to fit over your helmet) make the Macai a tank when it comes to inclement weather.  I tested it out by standing in front of a snow making machine before my first run of the season and the jacket took it like a champ.
- Cooling: I was impressed by the Macai's pit zips.  Like the rest of the external zippers, they are completely water proof.  However, the pit zips are also much larger than on most other jackets, stretching from mid-torso almost to your elbow.  Additionally, the inside has a thick mesh material to keep out unwanted moisture.  The mesh material does have a negative impact on the cooling ability of the pit zips, but I haven't noticed that big of a difference.

*The Nitpicking*
- Pit Zips: The zippers are a little difficult to unzip all the way without taking off the jacket (but not impossible).  However, that is the trade-off for fully waterproof zippers; they are stiffer.
- Chest Pockets: They are tiny.  You can definitely fit things in them, but it's a squeeze and that makes stuff hard to get in a hurry.  Additionally, these two pockets have the smallest zipper pulls on the jacket; definitely need gloves off for opening/closing.
- Interior Chest Pocket: There is only one.  It is big enough for your wallet and phone, but that's about it.  I would like to see another pocket on the other side for an iPod or something.

Question: It should slow down a thief.

A nice lock-box. The lock is a bit sticky but if the cable is held flush it locks with no trouble. Let's face it, this is not made to stop a thief who has time. It is made to stop a opportunistic thief from breaking your car window, grabbing whatever, and running off. It should do that. My little Ruger snubbie fits just fine but I have doubts about a full size .45.

I deduct 1 Star for being made in China.

Fits and works perfectly. These replace the factory ones that have a reputation of failing where the rubber boot meets the linkage. These don't look like an updated design, hopefully they improved the material a bit. My originals lasted 15 years, hope for another 15 in this set.

Question: Excellent picture quality and chassis styling

Got a good deal from Amazon on this during Christmas. It's got great picture quality, and the chassis is a thin and simple black design. The speaker volume is the only negative that I've found with this product - it's about as loud as what you'd find in an iPhone.

I have a few other Go2 shirts (Dazzling Blue and Capri Breeze) and have received many compliments on them. I decided to buy more for myself and for friends because they are really comfortable and keeps me dry. I am usually a US size 6/8 and the M fits snugly on me, and I love that it has never ridden up in the exercises I do (yoga, Bodycombat, running... to name some).

The only (almost) negative about the Pink Shock I purchased is that it is a really shocking pink! Diva Pink is a little less shocking, and leaning more towards orange (though a lot of pink still). I feel like I can run at night and still be seen, so it is definitely for people who wants a little more visibility (from other than the usual safety gear).

Would purchase again if the price is right!

Question: Very cool idea for a picture book!

This book is a collection of short rhyming stories. They are about animals that aren't really heard of that often - How many of you can say right off the bat that they know what a tenrec is? Instead of using animals starting with A, B, or C, the stories are of animals from the end  of the alphabet (starting with the letter T). Learn about tenrecs, water dragons, yellow-bellied poison dart frogs, Zebus and more!

I like the whole idea of this book and how it uses the end of the alphabet (letters not really used that much) with exotic animals (animals not really heard of that much). The illustrations are cute and cheery and fun to look at. I like how the illustrator tried to make the pictures look realistic by making the habitats and animals look like the real ones. I thought the rhyme flowed pretty well in each short story and it was fun to read. I read that Mr. Coogan is a zookeeper so I think he should be an expert on these animals and what they do. This book is a nice way to introduce kids to some animals they never heard of!

3D Conan 2011 Review: Buy it.

3D REVIEW:
What do I expect with 3D? Great depth to tell apart objects easily with two eyes, and occasionally, some objects that move outside the screen.
Having just reviewed the film a second time, this time on the 3D Blu Ray, the 3D in the 2nd half of the movie, starting with the scene where Conan fights the Sand People, has great 3D depth that does not disappoint. The first half however, lacks enough depth, and takes the 8/10 3D down to a 7/10 3D rating. The first hour of the 1h52m film has very average 3D where you question why you're bothering wearing 3D glasses. You can see some hint of depth, is the best way to put it. But if you're a 3D fan looking for a really good and brutal sword battle movie, buy the 3D version, as it also includes 2D viewing on the same disc, and the 2nd hour of the film has great 3D. Nonetheless, the film itself makes up for the 1st hour's minimal 3D with some thrilling, gory action.

3D: 7/10. The 2nd half of the film's 3D looks great. It's like they put all of their post process effort into that point onward. Before that though, mostly average 3D and not enough depth in that first half, which all comes down to the stereographers doing the 3D post processing. Did they have the time, or were they lacking the boldness required to make a scene POP? Or did they learn their lessons from the first half as evidenced by the well done 3D in the 2nd half?

Conan the Barbarian 2011 has plenty of bloody combat with swords, sorcery and is well filmed, so you can follow the fights visually without confusion. Conan sets off on his adventure to avenge his father, stop the powerful Leader from gaining the mask of power, rescue the beautiful babe and slaughter anything that stands in his way. If you're looking for a film to enlighten the mind, Conan isn't about that. This film is about adventure and barbaric swordfighting. By the end of the film, I was really impressed with the amount of nearly non stop action here. In the end, a gritty sword adventure showcasing a fearsome, brutal army of enemy warriors for Conan to face, along with Sand People, a Tentacle Creature in the water, and more.

Recommended for action, fantasy genre fans who want action before story.

Question: Unfortunately full of new age

I read a brief quote of this book on a Christian website and thought it sounded interesting. I had a co-worker whose husband and father both had recently passed away and I recalled her expressing interest in reading of near-death experiences. So I decided to order this book and his other book, Into the Light, and give them to her as a gift. As I began reading the book, several of the stories were very touching and may have happened. But as I read further in both books, I sadly found they were replete with new age concepts dealing with self enlightenment, nonexistence of hell, and many, many other topics completely contrary to Scripture and Christian teachings. As I put the book in my car immediately after buying and planning to give it to her, I now understand why I kept "forgetting" to give it to her until I read both of them. In my mind, I was clearly being shown that a book like this would cause her much more harm than good.

I really liked this hat, it fits perfect since you can adjust it to the size you want

Question: And Ms. Hegi's point is?

Early on, I found the author's descriptions of the characters and their Bronx neighborhood both charming and (as a displaced Bronxite of the generation represented by the book's central figure) right-on. Unfortunately, the personal journey each of her characters pursues over some forty-plus years was hopelessly flat and failed to sustain my interest as I labored through to the last, unrevealing chapter. I found myself wondering what point Ms. Hegi was trying to make. Whatever she was aiming at, it never came to fruition.

This card shipped immediately & was exactly what we needed!  Would recommend this Vendor!

This is just perfect i have it connected to Motorola Surfboard SB6141 and they been  stable with way better Wifi signal than the previous time warner cable modems. This actually does provide great stable Wifi i have lots of devices streaming at the same time and there is not drop connection everything is running smooth. The set up is even easier than expected, that is why i love Apple products they always go for simplicity. I highly recommended this to anyone looking for great fast wifi !

Question: I bought a men's shirt but the shirt has a ...

I bought a men's shirt but the shirt has a women on it.
This is not what I expected and wish to return this shirt

I purchased this and it was here in a couple days, I was able to get it upstairs by myself, a 66 yr old female.  It is a good mattress and think it would be fine for maybe a child or a person that does not weigh a lot. I found it to be like it was soft when you first lay on it and then it seems that you sink down a bit and then it is more firm, firmer than I like. I contacted the company and Jeff and Jim at Mattressezzz were just super great, I have never had such a wonderful customer service experience, they bent over backwards to make me happy. After talking to them I decided on the Visco Revolution, normally I would have had to pay the $199.00 to ship it back but they split it with me. They made all the arrangement to have this mattress picked up by a shipper, they sent a large bag to put it in, (be sure to keep the bag that it comes in too, because they want it double bagged and be sure to take pictures if you intend to send it back, before being bagged, and then when you have it in the first bag and then when it is in the  second bag. The shipper that picked it up claimed it was only bagged once and the bag got torn and the mattress damaged. I took pictures and a video also.  Don't get me wrong, this is a fine mattress if you like a firm mattress. Then the Revolution arrived in a box and trust me, you will have to have 2 people to get that on your bed and especially if it is upstairs. It took me and my son and a lot of elbow grease to get it up stairs.  The Revolution is supposed to be compared to the best tempur-pedic.  It has taken me a couple weeks to get used to sleeping on it, can I say it is firm and soft?  My old mattress I would wake up in such pain in my back and hips I would have to get out of bed and did not feel like I had slept at all. Now I awake and just want to lay there.  I had a topper that I had on the old mattress and put it in top of this one, just so it would be softer and also protect the mattress. With the Revolution I also purchased the mattress protector, the sheets and pillows, love them all.  If you have a tight budget the Heir ET is a fine comfortable mattress but if you can afford it, I would go with the Revolution, it is a wonderful mattress and I am so glad that I purchased it. Not waking up in pain in the morning.  As I said the people at Mattresseez are just wonderful, called me back after I got the Revolution to see if I was happy and if there was anything they could do. I would recommend them highly and if I have need of another mattress that is who I would purchase from.

it is certainly deep enough. The first one arrived and there was a problem with one of the glue joints.  The company replaced it immediately. So I would have to say they have the BEST in customer service.

This is a great watch, for under $20! Bought the identical watch 8 years ago. The battery finally went, but for $20, 8 years is a great deal. I like a watch with hands, but having the stopwatch for running is a nice feature.

My two cat's loved this toy but unfortunately after only a week and a half it's already fallen apart.

So into the garbage this one went, to bad, cats loved it while it lasted, I may give it another try some day hopefully I just got a bad one.

Question: The Red Garden, Alice Hoffman

In just under 300 pages, Alice Hoffman takes the reader on a journey through the history of a small town in Massachusetts, Bearsville, aka Blackwood, aka Blackwell, which was settled quite by accident. Four families, traveling with William Grady and his wife, Hillie, become lost in a snowstorm and flounder. Hillie, the stronger and more industrious of the two is ultimately the one responsible for successfully settling there and for their survival. This small town of four families, Mott, Partridge, Starr, and Grady, soon grows to ten, changes its name, prospers and grows still further. Some other names that appear are Jacob, Kelly, Flynn, and Chapman. New families arrive, marriages, births, and deaths ensue. We follow their thread from the 1700's to the Civil War to the Depression and another war, right up until and into the 21st century.
Because the story felt more like a collection of short stories, it wasn't always cohesive. While interesting, it was often confusing, especially with an audio book since the listener can't easily review what has just been read. Sometimes the characters jumbled together and names got mislaid in my memory. So many characters were highlighted in the 14 chapters, it was sometimes hard to find the thread connecting them, but there definitely was a thread. A name would occur early on and then disappear only to suddenly recur in a later chapter. Often, it was hard to remember the trail and hold onto the continuity. It was more like there was suddenly an aha moment when everything would click and come together.
Many themes returned throughout the stories: the color red as in blood, apples, red vegetables, red fruit, red soil, red flowers; trees, as in the tree of life; babies born out of wedlock. There were bones, runaways, poets, bears, dogs and other creatures, blindness, magic and the supernatural, gardens with secrets. It was almost as if these qualities were part of some cosmic DNA. There were chance meetings that turned into kismet for some of the characters and there were many moments of tragedy and sadness followed by a story of survival, all of which together were able to knit all of the families that originally settled into a cohesive whole.
There were many beautifully told stories of love and devotion, loss and sadness. The times were hard and courage and perseverance were necessary qualities for survival and success. Each of the families moved through the generations in an almost karma-like fashion, with the character's descendants morphing and changing, growing into themselves from generation to generation.
With the passage of time, the garden goes through various stages of being planted and productive or lying fallow, in much the same way as the character's lives progress, depending on the family living near or in the original Brady house at a particular time, but the garden is definitely something that links them all.
After more than two centuries, the descendants of a Mott and a Grady, come full circle and return to their small town beginnings, once again making the garden a sacred place and making the book feel as if it is almost beginning again.
Hoffman writes with a spare prose that is more expressive than books with more than twice the number of pages.

It worked! after 5 weeks delivery. I have an ipad 2. Only works with the RCA connection. Everything has to be plugged in before I hit play.

Question: Truly the ULTIMATE Ruben Blades collection.

This 2-CD set is the most comprehensive collection of Ruben's Fania recordings issued to date. Of course, you get most of his big solo hits as well as some of his earlier ones with Ray Barretto, Willie Colon and even the Fania All Stars. The essay by Ernesto Lechner is also very informative and covers aspects of Ruben's entire career. Despite its being limited to Ruben's 1975-84 Fania recordings this package really deserves to be in your collection.

I ordered a 5 lb bag and they arrived when expected. I was so excited to find on Amazon. I opened and tried a few and they did not have a crunchy texture. They were more like stale moist candy pieces. They also had a very sweet weird flavor. I noticed there was a small tear in the bottom of the bag. Not sure if that is why there was an issue. Unfortunately, I returned for a refund.

No matter what people think of their political views, there is no denying they have beautiful voices.  Two thumbs up for this one.

Question: Beware if you wear...

Just a note for those of you who wear glasses.  The headphone has a pretty tight feel and as a result, it pinches the ear against the glasses.  After a few minutes, it starts to become bothersome.  But if you don't wear glasses, it should work just fine.

I purchased this book not too long ago because I had borrowed it from my local library and read the 1992 publication of it. Even though that book was put out over 20 years ago now and is very old, I can still able to practice and apply the tips and techniques (or better yet, the truth about life) into my own life and it's help me on more than one occassion tremendously. If anything, I think this book deserves more that the five stars I can give because if there was an option to give 100 stars, I would! This is a marvelous read and I so happy I came upon it. Maybe it wasn't luck after all, but God telling me to read it and buy it. Thank you very much Hal, my friend! You have won me over and I will make sure my future children if I have any, get these time tested advices as well.

Question: Challenge for Christians by a Teen (Esp.for Teens)

The book started a little slow for me and seemed like it was boring. But as soon as the author started to about our identity I'm Christ, it clicked for me. Even  though I've believed the gospel and have heard it many times, this story helped in my see that truth in a fresh and applicable way. It showed me how it should 'change everything' (to borrow the phrase) for me as a teenager who loves Jesus
 I received a free copy of this book from Crossway in exchange for an honest review.

First of all, the album is called "Now That We Have Your Attention". These songs are great for any time of the day! Blast your tunes, music this good should be loud and shared with your neighbours....I listen to it all the time; this is an album you never tire of! It's good Christian rock for teens and older; if children listen to "Mother May I", they would get the wrong message out of it when he sings "Momma wants to kill me", but that song is a great one though! It's my fave on the album. If you're patient, listen to the bonus track at the end, it is GREAT, and transform "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" into rock and make it more interesting! You'll not wanna let this one slide, buy it, it's well worth it!

Question: Havahart Makes a Difference if Used Correctly

Havahart Remote Trainer is an electronic training device designed to help control a dog's bad behavior. Whether it's barking, chewing, jumping on people, or anything else, this device attempts to get the behavior under control.

The way this device works is simple enough. You attach the collar to your dog, grab the hand- held device, select one of the five levels of stimulus with a tone, or only the tone, and wait for your dog to misbehave. When your dog does something you do not like, you press the button. The collar then sends a shock to your dog and sounds a tone. The idea is, of course, to get your dog to associate this unpleasantness with its bad behavior and, eventually, cease to misbehave.

So, does it work? Well, yes and no, but part of the potential problem is that many dog owners will expect this training device to do it all; eliminating bad behavior quickly, with the press of a button, that has been going on for a long time. If this is your expectation, it may or may not work. Yes, the dog will feel the shocks and hear the tone and most dogs will realize they need to stop what they are doing. But with other dogs, it may not work well at all. The best way to make sure it works most of the time is to start by training your dog the old fashioned way first, then use this device. I should point out that Havahart explains this in the manual, but many buyers will ignore this and use the device expecting miracles.

If you train your dog first, then attach the collar, you should have a good degree of success. My dog is smaller- weighs about 25 pounds- and this device has worked well and has successfully stopped some of his bad habits, like incessant barking and chewing on shoes and other objects. I have found that the shock treatment isn't really necessary after a short time. He now associates the sound of the tone as a signal to stop what he is doing. This is good, because using the shock, I have to admit, concerns me a little and I can understand why some dog owners will not like this feature at all. But the good news is that you do not have to use the shock- you can select tone only and rely on the unpleasant sound to correct your dog's behavior.

This dog training device does seem to work, but I still have a few issues. The battery cover takes too much effort to remove and the hand held device seems very cheaply made. It just seems like a matter of time before it breaks. The flimsy construction makes me question the price, but I suppose if it works well enough to stop bad behavior, most will consider it money well spent.

Dogs are prone to badness and the Havahart Remote Trainer is good at getting these problems under control. As long as you work with your dog first, then start using the training device, you should have good success.  The electric shock could concern some dog owners, so my advice is to use it sparingly and then try to quickly switch to the tone- only training for a more humane training experience.  Use it the way it was intended, and you will be well on your way to a better behaved canine.

Bacon! What more can you say! Excellent deal. I use it on everything from salad to pizza to breakfast burritos to just about anything! Try it!

Question: Surprised me that is was a wood case. That's ...

Surprised me that is was a wood case. That's my fault, as I should have read the description closer.

Issue 1 - no instructions. The enclosed business card linking to web site instructions links to a dead web page.
Issue 2 - Screws are too large for Raspberry Pi 3. Luckily I had some extras
Issue 3 - Pi 3 power port doesn't line up with hole in the case very well. I had to add some extra shims to make it accessible.

Overall, it's a neat looking case. Small problems make it a 3 star case.

This was my first book by this author. Since I follow the biker/MC romance genre Im always looking for a fresh new take on that type of romance. I started reading and after a few pages I decided it was going to be another one of those mediocre biker romances but kept going so that I could provide an honest complete review of the book. That was a very good decision on my part because I soon realized I was hooked into the story and couldn't put it down. When you have read as many biker/MC books as I have you love a story that doesnt feel like the same old, same old. As I got further into this story I realized it had a real feel to it. Good girl meets bad boy MC member is a usual theme. However, in this tory the feelings both Jessica and Zag feel seemed genuine and reflected what a normal good girl would battle after entering into a relationship with a bad boy.

Jessica is a normal, good girl from a stable middle class family. She goes to work each day as a desk clerk at the casino, has two very close childhood friends and a Mother who is forever trying to find her a husband. Shes independent, intelligent and is instilled with solid family values. Shes not a virgin but she doesnt have a vast sexual history. Zag is your usual hot, alpha, gorgeous man who was abandoned when he was 16 and picked up off the streets by Rebel, the president of the True Brothers MC. Rebel has raised Zag more or less as a son. I liked the way this author wrote about the closeness between Jessica and her family as well as Zags relationship with Rebel and his MC brothers. So different but yet somehow the same.

Question: My son likes lt very much

My son just asked me whether he can dress this T-shirt for a week......so you know, it's a good stuff.

Shows different parts of the world and people living there. Movie which makes you think about what is realy what makes us what we are? How little we need to feel good? What is important and what has no importance at all? What is the price of the technological progress?

Cute dress for my puppy but it was too big for a 5lb. Yorkie so she couldn't wear it as it dragged on the floor.

It Was A Decent Product But It Was Smaller Than It Appears Online. I Had to Return It Because It Could Not Accommodate All My Gear
Which I Could Fit In My Current Bag.

Question: Learn How To Laugh At Inconsiderate Drivers With This Horn

We travel frequently, and this horn actually helps diffuse the frustration of inconsiderate drivers. We used it during our 12 hour trip to NY, and instead of being angry, we had many laughs together. This is a great gift for those who will appreciate the humor, just be careful around young children. We love it, and I think we need another for our other vehicle!

We travel quite a bit to visit children across the country. It's good to know that my 'plant care takers' only have to stop in about only once or twice a week during the VERy HOTTEST weather to check on and maybe add water. I tried tomatoes, and in the real hot weather (3 plants in box) it needed water refill every other day.

Question: Typical great Joel Shepherd

I truly enjoyed Defiance.  Part four of the Spiral Wars series is worthy of it's predecessors. Mr. Shepherd is one of the best writers of action I've read.  He manages to convey that sensation of breathless barely-organized chaos that is combat.  He compares very favorably with my favorite sci-fi author, David Weber. I can think of no higher praise. Combine that with diverse, engaging characters, both human and alien, and you have great writing.  Can't wait for the next part. Chew slowly; it's the good stuff.

They cook breads and cakes well. I'm ordering silicone loaf pans because even with the nonstick coating things stick to these. I hope the silicone does as well at baking.

Question: Nicely made, works beautifully!

I don't usually write reviews, unless I think a product is what they say it is, this is one.
I have tried dozens of replacement sink baskets. None of them worked right. They either didn't hold the water in the sink, were very cheap looking, plastic, and were otherwise not what I thought they would be.
This one is well made, looks like it belongs in the sink and wasn't an after thought. It holds water beautifully with minimal pressure to seal.
I only purchased one until I saw it in person, and will now order another one for the other side of the sink.
If you've been looking and just haven't been able to find the 'right' one, try this basket. You won't be disappointed!

I always look forward to her new books. Once I start reading, I can't put it down. I wish she would write new books faster, but I understand its in God's timing. A+ as always. Like before, it's Francine Rivers enough said!!!!!!

Question: Following Jesus through the storms, the fish, the doubt, and the seas.

Following Jesus through the storms, the fish, the doubt, and the seas.  The author takes us into a world that most of us know just about nothing about. She has been a commercial fisher woman for four decades, and works with her husband and six children in a salmon-fishing operation on their own island off the coast of Kodiak Island, Alaska. It may sound glamorous to some, but she describes the hard work, dangers and uncertainty that they face every day. Relating her vocation with Jesus's call to his disciples to be "fishers of men" this book is full of analogies to fishing. The author has written ten other books and is a speaker and a popular radio guest. This book comes with recommendations from Jim Daly from Focus on the Family and Mark Galli, Editor of Christianity Today.
Some may find it hard to relate to the stories that she tells on her fishing journeys, but we can all relate to how Jesus can bring us through any storm.
I have received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Looks beautiful fits great very good seller fast shipping

Question: Super warm, my go toos when its super cold on the slopes.

Extremely warm esp. in shade on back bowls chairlift 20 knot winds, and -14 F degrees in Vail, CO. I was nice and comfortable in these.

I really like this calendar with pictures of Chris Hemsworth for several reasons.  It came nicely packaged.  There is a small metal pin to hang it by so the calendar stays flat and doesn't tear.  It is good-sized so that you can enjoy the pictures.  The pictures are all very tasteful and appropriate so I can hang in anywhere in the house without worrying what others might think.

Question: Inspiring, quick, easy read...valuable principles

Every mom wants answers.  We want to KNOW how to parent our children.  We tend to grasp for methods, when we really need principles.  As a mom to eight (ages 9-23), I have experienced a fair amount of motherhood.  I have also read or perused many parenting books on different methods of parenting, all of which have their negatives and positives.  There is no perfect parenting style, but there are some very important principles that every parent should tuck in their hat to reference regularly.  In "Grace Gifts", Gina Smith has managed to nail those down in a humble, concise and clear way.  So much of what she has written describes what we have worked toward in our own family for years...with good results.  I was inspired by her gracious approach.  I was reminded of those principles that are foundational in our relationships with our children.  The great thing is that those principles can be carried out a million different ways.  In other words, they can custom-fit our particular family.  It felt as though Gina gently described the grace gifts and what they looked like in her home which, in turn, encourages us to really think about how it might look in OUR home. For instance, I am not very good at "celebrating".  After reading that chapter, I was excited to bring more celebration into our home.  The principles she covers throughout the book apply to ANY age!  So if you are feeling intimidated by the teen years, like I was many years ago, this book will give you something to hang onto that is solid.  You'll reference it over and over again.  The best part about all this?  The book is a quick read...I spent less than 2 hours from start to finish.  PERFECT for busy moms!  It's offered in an inexpensive ebook.  Seriously, I would spend this much on a fru fru Starbucks drink.  Why not spend it on something that will give you so much more in return on your investment?!
simplenourishinghome.com

The most shocking aspect to this true-life tale is that Will Jordan has absolutely no remorse, compassion, or guilt - his lies were clearly so beguiling because no sane person would ever suspect anyone would go to such unbelievable lengths of sustained deception. Read this book then tell everyone you know about what happened to these women (for there are multiple victims of this crime and Mary TT tells more than her own story) and send them out to buy it, for the reader recognises that no one is immune to the workings of a sociopath. I was fortunate enough to meet the author recently, and thankfully she has emerged from what she describes as the prison this man kept her in and is rebuilding her life. She is a confident, witty and intelligent woman and one of the best things to come from this brutal experience is that telling the stories that had been previously kept hidden has led to her new career and her talent is now being harnessed as a writer. Looking forward to the next book Mary.

Question: I love the height of it and distance from the edge ...

Got this faucet to go with my matte black kitchen sink and it matches perfectly! I love the height of it and distance from the edge which allows for easy filling of large pots. Smooth finish, great color, hose comes out and retracts with ease, and it's really easy to click between stream and spray. It took me a few days to get used to the position needed for hot/cold and fast/slow but that's understandable since I always had a dual handle faucet and anything new takes time to adjust to. Highly recommend!

Like the kit a lot.  Has everything I need. I like the zipper type carrying case too.
I just got the kit today and I am anxious to put it to good use.
I know all it takes is a little finesse for a successful cleaning.
You can't force anything down a gun barrel.
I know it will be a very useful kit

Question: It really doesn't look like Duvall at all

Duvall is a real brute. It really doesn't look like Duvall at all.  His Stalin is a foreboding monster that infests everything it sees.  Duvall said this was one of his favorite roles and he said someone who actually knew Stalin told him he was just like him.  Worth seeing for Duvall but a little long and plodding sometimes.

My husband has cooked numerous dishes from this book.
His copy (4th edition) is well dog-eared with a many food stained pages from all the cooking that has been done from this book. We have the 4th & 5th editions and I bought him this 6th edition as he likes the cookbook so much.
I have also bought this cookbook for many people.

Question: I was searching for a decently priced USB windows controller ...

I was searching for a decently priced USB windows controller, I had purchased and returned several before settling in on this one. While the controller itself works with windows as described, there are some issues with the casing being too thin and some sensitivity issues with the contacts inside that make the controller confuse itself. In other words, if you squeeze too hard while playing a game for a long period of time, you will end up sending multiple commands and doing weird things in-game. Other than intended. Oh, also don't bother using the vibration option, it shakes the unit and causes the same thing to happen.

I have't had the chance to really test the unit completely. Charges up my phone twice with 4 leds stay on.

Question: A bit misleading, but not without its own spirit.

I've given this a look-through, and I'll admit that for its bargain price, I think it's worth having.  However overall, most of these ideas are things you could find for free online.  The name Random Encounters suggests something different than the scattered ideas and concepts that the guide actually presents.  Most of these ideas are just simple ideas, casually addressed towards the player, not campaign ideas or settings.

In short, it is a casual read with some interesting ideas, but not a book that you can base your game off of.  Consider it a jumping-off point, and you'll enjoy it for what it is, not what it presents itself to be.

While I like this activity bracelet, it still has a ways to go before it's perfect and I can recommend it to all my friends.

When I first removed the bracelet from the packaging, I was unsure how it was going to fit on my wrist. I have the petite size and petite is not a word that I have ever used to describe myself. Not big, I am 5'8" and 125 lbs, but the bracelet needs to be bent open to get it on and bent back to fit my wrist, which I believe is the intended fit. I originally had a tough time bending my new bracelet anytime I put it on or off. It is okay now, as it retains the shape. Thinking that the bracelet wouldn't fit properly, I tried to pop out the sensor and wear it clipped to my clothes. I watched the YouTube videos several times, but I was unable to pop it out. I don't know if it's my thumbnail isn't long enough or I always have my nail polished and I am not willing to really get in there like I need to, but I have yet to get the sensor out from the bracelet. My husband can, but he has trouble with it too.

To charge the bracelet, the cord is provided, but not the connection to the power source. You can connect the USB to your computer or use your cell phone charger base. I find this annoying and for a bracelet that is over $100, all components to charge should come with the bracelet.

The app was easy to download to my iPhone 5 and it connected immediately to the phone. I find the app easy to use and displays my activity level based on the time of day as well as steps and miles walked.

The display on the activity bracelet is not dependable. I can not get it to reliably display information. The directions and YouTube videos show to touch both sides to "squeeze" the monitor to display and continue to hold to move through the display information. Sometimes it works; however, most of the time it doesn't.  This is my biggest issue with the activity bracelet. My coworkers even comment about me standing there touching the bracelet, waiting for the information to display.

Battery life is good. It lasts, on average, five days.

I like the activity bracelet and positive once the display issues are worked out it will be a great option for people that are looking for an alternative to the well-known brands.

Question: ... numerous times because it is very sensitive and I love the way it works

As a graphic designer I have bought this mouse numerous times because it is very sensitive and I love the way it works.

This is one of those must-reads for anyone who owns a yard, likes to garden, or holds 50+ acres. We tend to manage the outdoors for what looks good to us, but that's not the whole picture. For the homeowners who want birds and butterflies in their yard, or the conservation enthusiast who wants to do something to help protect the environment, this is an amazing exposé on how we can all have a major impact simply by starting with our own backyards.

Question: Great book for a novice

I needed a quick read and overview of the basics of refining.  This book was both easy to read and comphrehensive for the non-energy professional.  If you want to learn about refining, this is a great place to start.

With all the controversy surrounding today's political environment, this book is a "must read" for those who want a fuller understanding of the evolution of modern intelligence services.  Written in the third-person, Sir William Stephenson's accounts of his own & his colleagues' quest to capture and "break" the Axis power's Enigma crypto system is both riveting and revealing.  It also puts into context Western societies' misgivings about security services, until they were crucial in the defeat of Hitler's forces.  The book reads incredibly well, and (given it is 40 years since first published) remains fresh and relevant in today's world of spys, leaks, and inter-governmental entanglements.

Question: Great color picture quality, installation was a cinch, i feel more secure now

This backup rear view camera by Cosmic Optix is just as good as the one in my brothers $75k SUV :) Except he paid an extra couple thousand for his, and I didn't!

Anyways - The installation was a cinch - My car did not have a GPS Screen or a monitor already so I had to buy an external monitor which was more difficult to install than the camera. The camera installation was straight forward, not a lot of wires. It was very easy. I drive a 2012 Honda Civic and this works great.

One of the things I really appreciate about this camera is that the camera is easily adjustable by hand once installed. Anyways, I highly recommend Cosmic Optix backup camera - great color quality picture.

Was a bit apprehensive on a Hybrid drive a(and seagate had a bad experience in a failed drive in the past) as wanted a full Solid State drive but waiting for 2 reasons, too expensive and need to be larger than 600GB storage. This drive was a perfect answer so far. Have had for 2+ weeks and notice a significant speed increase on the late macbook pro 2011. Faster start up, application open quicker and much more snappier. Very happy so far. For less than $200, if you backup often, you have nothing to loose until Solid State drives come down in price and hold larger capacity.

Question: Feel the Chicago Heat

In Michael Harvey's second story featuring tough Chicago P. I. Michael Kelly, the reader is treated to a page-turning yarn that oozes the intrigues of Chicago. Mayoral politics, rugged cops, sleazy journalists and tarnished heroes share their dirty little secrets in a world where people go along only when it suits their own self interest. Harvey's writing captures a mood that will transcend the strength of the plot, and his characters are as gritty as you will find in today's fiction. The Fifth Floor is an improvement in style as well as a refinement of the characters introduced by Harvey's excellent debut novel, The Chicago Way. If this book is any indication, Harvey is getting better and we will be treated to more Michael Keely books in the near future.

I watched this last night with my grandkids.  I thought I was going to wash dishes while they watched, but I got absorbed in the movie immediately, and the dishes waited till after 10 o'clock.  I'm pretty much a sucker for dog movies, but this was more than a dog movie.  The little girl was  an excellent actress, and could really melt an adult's heart.  Cecily Tyson was excellent and a real joy to watch.  But what I like the very most about this movie was it's lack of political correctness!  I mean, I was absolutely floored when the librarian, Eva Marie Saint, recommended that Opal read "Gone With the Wind" to Cecily Tyson's character!  And she did it, and apparently old Miss Gloria liked it.  This story of Scarlett O'hara inspired the party they had.  And the confederate soldier who had so much sorrow in his life because of the tragedy of war and coming home to the deaths of his whole family, was a town hero who started the candy company that made such a UNIQUE candy, as well as giving jobs to many men.  I just loved this.  But what is sad is I don't think that today, just 11 short years after this movie was made, this kind of movie with so much goodness, and lack of idealogy, could be made.  Please watch it with your children or grandchildren.  You will have a lovely experience.

Ripley Proserpina is an auto-buy for me now. With her third release in the Searchers series, she has taken this book to a new level.  What I think I love the most about her characters is that they are all flawed, real people trying to do the best they can in the world.  These guys love Nora and she loves them right back but sometimes they have to push through times that would challenge us all and maybe they don't always do the right things.  The bad guy is sufficiently concerning and the love jumps off the page. Bravo Ms. Prosperina. Write more. Please.

Previously owned a Breville centrifugal juicier and while a great product, I never felt I was getting all of the juice out of the vegetables.  That is no fault of Breville, just how centrifugal juicers work.

A friend of mine recently was looking for a masticating juicer and narrowed it to the Omega VRT350 and the Breville BJS600XL.  Overall conclusion is the Breville BJS600XL offers comparable juice at a much better value.  At Amazon Daily Deal of $179....its a no brainer.  Happy Juicing!!!

Update 12/16/2013
No longer a Daily Deal for $179 but currently at $215...very good deal!

Question: Joan of Arc - The Maid - Good read!

I became quite intereted in "Joan of Arc" after watching a 1940/50s movie. I selected this book because it was written by a noted author and my professional interest in psychology and history. of course, I understood that this account of her life utilized known facts as well as some author researched suspicions about the type of behavior that might be manifested by a young woman who was inspired by "heavenly" visions to take on the personal charge to save France. Every page is a turner and Joan's character as well as her personality are well developed as you move along in the book. This period of history is faught with challenging events and this is the background for a most interesting historical figure.

The Duchess Wars could have been a 5 star story, but the Duke trying to make reforms to the hierarchy and destroy there titles, was a bit much. I read HR becasue of the Powerful, Filthy Rich , Hierarchy. I love stories about arrogant, rich handsome and powerful Dukes, Marquess and Earls and the Ton. Without the upper Hierarchy there is no Historical Romance stories for me. I am not that fond of the HR stories about Sirs, Barons and Gentlemen (Mr.) even if they are rich and handsome.

I did love Robert the 9th Duke of Clermont and his cause to rectify the terrible working conditions his father set up in his factory for his worker. I think Minnie Lane was a perfect match for him and while boring at times she comes through by the end as a women of strength and power. All in All I would recommend The Duchess Wars. I enjoyed it.

Question: This is such a simple yet easy device that I have been using so frequently

This is such a simple yet easy device that I have been using so frequently. It carries luggage very easily with the extra straps and you can adjust it by height which is perfect for different size cases. It is portable and easy and I highly recommend it :)

True to form, Dr. Tony Evans writes the way he preaches. His latest book is no exception. The message may not be a popular one but it is definitely a necessary one. We need to go back to basics. This is what rings loud and clear throughout this book.

The early church knew how to follow Jesus' command:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..."
Matthew 28:19
Somehow we have wavered from God's original plan.

Dr. Evans breaks it down so we understand what it really means to be a disciple. He then gives us the tools to share Jesus with others. This is where the rubber meets the road. At times very convicting, this is a guidebook that everyone needs to own. Dr. Evans never disappoints.
