Question: Scholarly Work, Life and Times and Work of a Politician, Writer and Philosopher

The Greatest Empire is a biography of the philosopher, writer, politician Lucius Annaeus Seneca, who was born in Cordoba, Spain circa 4 B.C. and who died, by his own hand under political pressure, in 66 A.D.

I should state right away that the "Greatest Empire" referred to in the title is not the Roman Empire, under which Seneca lived.  Seneca, a master of wordplay, believed that if one could conquer oneself, control one's own impulses, then one had conquered the greatest empire possible.  To be Emperor of oneself was Seneca's goal in life, but one that he could not always live up to, because he was, after all, human.

This scholarly work, which I received as a review-copy, includes a timeline, maps, notes, further reading suggestions, a bibliography, art credits and a full Index.  The writing style is convoluted, stilted, and dryly academic at times.  But the author's female perspective on a paternalistic and misogynistic society is refreshing to read.  And she provides parenthetical explanations for those readers who are not up to speed on Roman and Mediterranean history.

In Seneca's case, there is the risk that the era was more interesting than the man, which was a thought I had at times while reading this book.  Seneca was a Socratic and Stoic philosopher, a writer of literature, plays and popular aphorisms, and a speechwriter for his former pupil, the Emperor Nero.  Seneca is 18 years old when Rome's first permanent Emperor dies, Augustus.  Then Seneca lives through the reigns of Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius.  The Emperor Nero pressures Seneca to take his own life.

I found the sections of the book that discuss the philosophies of the era the most interesting:  Cynicism, Hedonism, Platonism, Epicureanism, Stoicism, Skepticism, and the Peripatetics, the Pythagorians, and the Sextians!  Everybody wanted to find solace in life and to "overcome grief, pain and fear of death".  Judaism was the annoying old-timer of philosophies because the followers of the monotheistic Judaism refused to worship Roman Emperors.  And the relatively new Catholicism was just as troublesome.

What was Seneca like, based on what the author tells us?  Well, he was pretty typical for his class, time, and place.  He was a macho jerk, self-righteous, self-important, ambitious, self-pitying, pompous, falsely modest, a narcissist, a slave owner, and a hypocrite.

Seneca's insights into human nature still apply to us today, since human nature is the one true constant over time.  The author states Seneca's ever-true observation:  "...psychological truth of his central insight that watching acts of pain and cruelty does real harm to our souls."

That harm is a fact.  Our moral compass is destroyed by watching real and simulated acts of pain and cruelty.  Children can be exposed to that harm without choice, but most people damage themselves by their choices of cultural consumption.  Perhaps that insight alone is reason for people to continue to read Seneca's philosophical works?

Question: Murder, understandable and engaging!

Always a winner is "Peter Diamond".  I love the unexpected plots, the characterization of imperfect people---no super heroes here, but completely understandable  and engaging.

There are no surprises in this book yet, it is riveting.  The one surprise for me was at the book's end because it stayed with me and I continued to think about the characters, their motivations, their interactions and especially the father / son relationship which becomes clear as a bell with the last paragraph of the book.  This is the kind of book that I'd want to go back and read a second time because it wasn't until it ended that I realized how compelling the story and characters were.

My beta really likes this food.  It floats well, the pellet size is perfect (none of the mega pellets that they usually spit out when too big).

Great basic watch at a reasonable price. I bought this for my boyfriend, a recreational runner. It tracks pace, distance, and speed.

Question: its a great machine, small

its a great machine, small, lightweight, gives the user a tablet and a full blown PC experience in one device.  Also the stylus is great fun and more useful than I thought (once I read how to use it correctly).  its also fast and the screen is impressive.  the add on keyboard is click strong and solid and is easy to connect.  I have office running on it and a bunch of other business software without a problem.  only complaint is that it doesn't have the battery life of a tablet.  intuitively since it is so much like a tablet I expected longer battery life.  I get about 3 hours out of the battery under normal use.  not a deal breaker, but would have been much better to see 6-9 hours.  but from what I read you trade battery life for the more powerful chipset that is in the machine I purchased.  and I needed performance with business apps.  all in all, a good buy.

Love this.  Simple.  Compact (when collapsed and not in use).  We finally can get rid of our other poppers!  Popcorn pops as efficiently as our favorite air-popper.

Also, great customer service -- got an e-mail shortly after order with an attached document with "tips and tricks" to make best use of the popper.  Nice.  Highly Recommended

Question: Easy to use, but doesn't last long

These are easy to install, but they never seem to last as long as I think they should. They give a nice, strong print when they're new. It's not like you can use a different brand, so keep that in mind when you buy your next printer.

The IT Crowd is a glimpse of both typical British humour (extra 'u' supplied at no additional charge) and typical office life.  For those who remember Are You Being Served?, this would be the 21st Century's answer to Grace Brothers.

Not being a total nerd or any part of a need wouldn't make any different to your viewing pleasure.  This is funny stuff that isn't pigeonholed by IT 'genre'.  The cast, as very small one indeed, works very well together.  The comedy ranges from slapstick and farcical to outright IT gags and jokes.

If you can't get past the second episode, you'll probably not enjoy it.

Question: OK for the money, but not that great for home theater/audio equipment.

It's a decent shelf for the money, but it's poorly engineered. The shelves depend on a single screw with a rubber washer to hold them in place, resulting in the shelves pivoting and moving under weight. Using a curved brace underneath the glass with metal padded tabs on each side would have prevented this and also would probably have increased the weight load. Also, the shelves are not large enough for a receiver. An X-Box or a Playstation is stretching the limits. Finally, the cable loom on the rear of the rack is nearly useless. It's not thick enough to hold more than one Ethernet/HDMI cable and maybe one power cable. Will probably end up repurposing this shelf to hold knick-knacks or something and get a better shelving system.

It was the wrong one as mine was Japanese made, should have had the disclaimer on the description!!

Awesome!!
I just finished this book and LOVED it!  I like reading vampire novels like a lot of people, but I was totally surprised by this one.  It's so refreshing to read one that's not the same-old, same-old.  Loved all the variation in the powers the vampires have and enjoyed the foray into the evolution of the species as well.  The characters are great, and I especially enjoyed Ema's predicament with the wall.  Can't wait to read the next one in the series!

Question: Saved my phone already

Having my luck and 3 kids I knew I had to protect my iPhone. About a week after I received the case a full 24 oz cup of iced coffee was spilled all over my phone(face up, I might add). I picked up my phone, turned it off then ripped the case off and it was completely dry. I rinsed the case and it's good as new again. I was amazed. I now recommend otterbox to the fullest!

Suitable for smaller cats around 10 pounds, larger cats just won't be able to fit into it.

I have two kittens that love this thing and try to ambush me from it every time I walk past.  Fortunately even with all their rambunctiousness they don't even manage to make the door bang very much.

Question: Good CQC gun for the price...

I am comparing this gun to the full-size Tokyo Marui M3 Super 90, which I had a few years ago but it broke and I sold it for parts.

My first impression of this gun was that it's made of 90% plastic, and felt sort of cheap, but it is solid. The metal parts I could find on the outside were the sling mounts, trigger, and a small portion of the "magazine tube" underneath the barrel near the muzzle. I guess it helps reinforce the gun, as it feels pretty solid. From what I remember the Marui gun had a metal outer barrel, metal outer receiver cover, the locking collar at the front of the forend, magazine tube, and the attachment between the magazine tube and barrel. The gun has an even matte-black finish, and the forend and pistol grip are rubberized and have a dark graphite gray color. The barrel is considerably shorter than the Marui gun, so it's actually really handy, even with the full stock. The inner barrel is I believe the same length as the original Marui one.

Performance: Shooting at the cardboard box it was shipped in from about 15 feet (which is about 4" deep from the dimension I was shooting at), .12g BBs broke through the front side (a few got stuck and did not penetrate) and .20g BBs consistently penetrated both sides of the box. It's really not good past 30', but up until there the BB's stay pretty tightly grouped, enough to hit a person (or their arm or leg). Once the BBs hit 30' they spread considerably and drop to the ground (with .20g BBs, I'm sure .12s would make it that far but would feel like raindrops). The pump action is not difficult for me, but I shoot regular guns frequently and am used to stiff recoil springs, and I work out regularly. My friends had a little bit of a hard time cocking it the first couple times, but once you get used to it it's no big deal. One really good feature is this gun is that you can slam-fire it, which means you hold the trigger down and it fires every time the forend is returned to the forward position. This is actually a pretty effective way of firing, as your arm is extended and on target when it fires. I was able to get all 10 shots off in about 3 seconds or less.

Extra features I liked: This gun is pretty lightweight. Not light enough to be cheap, but it could easily be slung across my back all day as a secondary gun. When you open the shell loading door, usually the "shell" magazine will drop freely if you hold the release lever back. This allows for quick reloads, as you only need to stick the new shell in partway and close the door to reload it. I have several Marui shells from the one I had before, and they all seem to work 100% ok in this gun. Also, the cheap "quality sling" is decent. It will work for keeping it slung across your back. It's actually really long so it will work if you wear a lot of gear or have a big body.

Overall this thing is worth the money. The only reason to get the Marui version is if you have extra money to blow and want a more realistic looking gun, or just can't bear to own Chinese products.

There have been missing kids in Heavenly, IL, and then a crew of a special branch of FBI  is killed.  Alex McKenna, Special Agent in Charge, volunteers for the job.  Not many are seeking to go chase 'shades' as vampires are known in this book so he gets the job.  He recruits a vampire as a consultant, Lindy, who happens to be the twin of Hector, the bad shade causing the problems.  What to do?  The Bureau of Pretanatural Investigations, BPI, seeks to find the missing and stop the murders.  This story is pure Melissa Olson and is a thrill to read.  She can make preternatural creatures appear real and the reader begins to believe.  I am a fan.  The ad on Amazon didn't say this was Book 1 in a new series but the ending of the book seems to make the reader think there will be more.  Can't wait!

I've purchased these for two cruiser style motorcycles and they have been great.  I love the heel rest on this pair.  I'd have to pay double or more from another company.  They stay looking good for the 10's of thousands of miles I've used them.

John has another hit on his hands! He really knows how to cut to the chase and provide the information that Everyman (or Woman) working in this field needs to know about OPC UA. As we migrate our own products to OPC UA we will be sure to keep the book close at hand.

Question: Not my favorite but not bad.

From the beginning, I was really intrigued with this book. I had no idea what to expect but I did expect a really interesting read...which I got. The time period the story takes place in was a huge draw for me. I love books that take place in the World War I era. Especially when it is a book that cannot be classified as a "war book". I was disappointed, however, that this seemed to be more of a backdrop.  I really liked the story of Davina and Darius. They were the most deep characters and had the most personality. I found myself waiting for their story to take over when I was reading. The writing was also really good. It kept me engaged when my interest would perhaps have dwindled with the shifts in point of view.

Palace Circle was not perfect. I had trouble becoming attached to some of the characters. Especially Delia which is especially troubling because the majority of the book is about her. She just wasn't a type of character that I like. She seemed kind of vapid. I was never able to make a connection to her and by the time I was able to kind of like her, the story shifted to Petra. The generational format of this novel could also contribute to this. Once you really start to become interested in a character, the story shifts to another. I find that in novels with formats like this, it is hard to really get into any character's story and become involved in the novel itself. I also found the ending to be a bit disappointing. Without giving it away, it seems like the story broke up in the middle of the novel and no real conclusions were made. I understand that this is the first book in a series but need there to be some loose ends tied up at the end of a book regardless if it is in a series or not.

Overall, I liked Palace Circle. Perhaps not enough to continue with the series but if you like Philippa Gregory or Rosalind Miles, you should definitely pick this up.

Some young adult novels are good "cross-over" novels and have the ability to entertain and engross all ages (i.e. Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events, Earthsea, etc.). This, unfortunately, isn't one of those novels. I can't even say that the writing would be a good "teen read." In fact, I would place it in the "pre-teen" caetegory.

The writing, per se, is not bad, but for an adult reader, not terribly engrossing. I liked the concept, but did not find it to be much of a page turner, perhaps because the characters were not depicted in depth enough early on to draw me in. A mediocre read.

Question: Gorgeous quality band at a fraction of retailer's prices!

Purchased this band as a two piece wedding set for my wife's engagement ring, and it is absolutely beautiful. I paid about $400-600 less than comparable bands with similar diamond carat and gold karat. You will end up paying a fairly decent amount of markup and overhead in any retail store. The diamond color and quality were actually better than some of the more expensive bands we shopped around for. We are both very satisfied. My wife loves rose gold and she is not the most dainty female with her jewelry. She is pretty active and occasionally wears her ring while doing dishes, etc. We've had no issue with bad scuffing, lost diamonds, or anything of that nature. Very happy with the quality over all. We had the bands soldered to the engagement ring and it's even more stunning now! I would definitely purchase from this seller again, and highly recommend this band specifically!  ( Ring is pictured on the bottom of her set in first photo, and on the very top in the second photo)

Awesome book, and the pictures are amazing! I recommend it for anyone with a love or appreciation for Japanese Woodblock prints.

Question: Another Wonderful "Pickup Men" Story

What I like most about L.C. Chase is that she produces wonderfully readable, moving books over and over again.

This is one of them. The third in the "Pickup Men" series, this one takes on Scott, who was the evil homophobe in the last book and Cory, a beautiful young, somewhat fem, but accomplished pickup rider on both the Gay and Pro rodeo circuits.

LIke the other books, Ms. Chase concentrates on family, her forte. And not just the family we're born into, but the family we make, especially after suffering rejection by our birth parents. After two years spent trying to get comfortable in his own skin, Scott sets out to make amends to those he injured. His very first stop is his former close friend, Tripp's house. Tripp was permanently injured in a gay bashing by two of Scott's best friends on the rodeo circuit - friends who shared his rabid homophobia. But when all is said and done, Scott was the one who saved Tripp's life and helped send his former buddies to prison. Tripp extends an invitation to Scott: come work with him managing events at Gay Rodeo events. Scott's got a far way to go to become an out and proud gay man. He's still terrified that people will think he's gay - a remnant of his decades in the closet and an unfortunate stint at a "christian gay conversion" camp.

He's terrified of what people will think - that the gays in rodeo will, justifiably, hate his guts and the straights he knew, in his former life, hate him for being gay. A lot to face for someone who has just acknowledged to himself that he's gay and has to learn to live with it. Of course, the imperative to continue and grow becomes his guiding principle once he meets the remarkable and full-of-life young man he falls in love with.

This is really a journey more than story - a journey of discovery of oneself and one's place in the world.

And, like all her other books, this one is beautifully written, utterly believable and totally moving. After all, the only thing more beautiful than love is love plus redemption.

I recommend this book most highly. It's a quick and easy read, and you won't be disappointed.

Lots of suspects, plenty of suspense and gripping till the end.
Beverly Connor always writes in great detail. You feel like you are right there with her characters. I love forensic science and this one does not dissapoint.

I garnered a lot of information and found several projects I cannot wait to try. I would recommend this book to DIY, gardeners, and others who don't simply buy everything, but like to make things.

These sweatpants would be GREAT if they each had a proper drawstring.  I bought two pairs for my husband for Christmas, and he was delighted to get them.  They are nice-looking and fit beautifully.  Sadly, the drawstrings proved woefully inadequate and snapped right away.  What a bad surprise!  Neither of us has ever had this problem with any of our other sweatpants.  I can't imagine what someone was thinking to use this cheap garbage in making these otherwise nice pants.

Excellent solution to our sunny side porch
This shade was easy to install and put up.
The quality and look is very nice.
We're very pleased .

It is pure, fluffy, girly fun when you like books where a woman completely looses her mind when she in a proximity of a hot guy. And no, not loosing her mind because he is a vamp and has some powers over her but because she is so turned on that she can't think straight. Yeah rrrrrriiiiiiight! Oh, and the whole book (novella) is loaded with main character double guessing, trying to convince herself, just being not sure, constantly going on and on about how terrible her family was to her and saying that if someone met her family they would understand. Well we do meet her family briefly, and I still don't get it why she is so insecure and afraid of them. So that was mighty annoying, because of the story we get constant whining.... and inability to accept that the guy is a real vampire. But wait, I think I know why! She is so turned on that she can't think straight!

Ok, so it's a novella but there still wasn't much of a story. First third was spent convincing herself that she DOES need to go in and get herself a paid date. The other two thirds (and I looked at my Kindle percentage) were spent with more whining, except here she was also trying to justify dating a vampire and not wanting to get bitter. Honestly, for all the sexual tension between them I would have at least expected some hanky panky, but no, it wasn't there either.

I gave it 3 stars because the book is very well written and reads in on breath, but it didn't get higher rating because of WHAT it was written about.

Question: Army Veteran Says DuArte's Resistance is a MUST!

OK. OK. OK. If there was ever an opinion you should consider before purchasing a read on something concerning WWII, in particular the efforts concerning France, then this is the review for you. I consume this topic any time I can and love it when author's get it right... and cringe when they don't. Being a veteran with the 327 INF REG from the 101st Airborne Division (BASTOGNE), anytime something is written, fact or fiction, about this period...I can't help but become a critic. This is the consensus I have... Jack DuArte has written something here that honors both the service and history of our armed forces, while also entertaining us, the reader, with an epic adventure worthy of it's subject matter. His approach is simple in review, yet covetable from the perspective of seasoned authors. He gives the reader sound historic facts concerning French Resistance, and the early efforts to sustain Nazi control, while laying on top an amazing webbed story arc that would make even Agatha Christie smile glued to the pages. The author actually teaches you about the War... even though this is considered a book of fiction, despite whether or not you are interested in learning. How? He makes it fun. Simple as that. This is an informative read, an entertaining adventure, and worth every single penny for the opportunity. I agree with one of the other people reviewing this book, for I too would love to be able to sit down and have a conversation with this author. Great job DuArte! AIR ASSAULT!

The picture gives you a false sense that the case is thicker than it really is. Its not. Then it looks as if the front wraps around the iPad securing it. It doesn't. Every time you take it out the ends attempt to come off. I wanted the otter box which IS both thicker and wraps around, I decided to give this a try; I was wrong.

Nice sounds and bass.  Well worth the money considering it's half what most cost.  Would buy again.

Pretty, good quality but order a size up. They are extremely narrow and the pointed toe shortens the shoe.

Ordered this a few months ago and just tried it the other day.  DOA!  Put it in the trash.

My almost 7-year old seems to like the game well enough. He has plenty of time to grow into it too. He's a little disappointed that he is not able to finish the game in a sitting, but I explained that is exactly what the game is supposed to do...it's a puzzle that makes you smarter as you figure it out slowly.

We had a minor problem. Our copy that we bought this month is from 1996! During installation, we were prompted if we wanted to add Quicktime 2.1. That's an old program, we didn't know if we needed it, where to get it, etc., so we clicked "no" first. (There was a mention of looking at the list to see what programs were necessary. Problem, is, we saw no such list.) After installation, the program wouldn't work. I decided to unload and reload the program, this time so I could click yes to getting Quicktime 2.1. I hoped blindly that this program was included on the CD-ROM, and that it would solve our problem. Bingo! Program works fine, on our XP laptop. FYI for anyone in a similar situation.

Question: intimate Meistersinger

Die Meistersinger is usually one of the grandest of grand operas, but her you get a small scale version with an outstanding lead-Gerald Finley is simply wonderful in creating a Hans Sachs who is younger than most but more moving than most.
Vladimir Jurowski's conducting of the London Philharmonic Orchestra is wonderful.
Glyndebourne is a venue that is small for this opera, but David McVicar creates a production that brings has singers to the forefront and creates wonderfully real characters- he's made a virtue of a handicap.
Some will miss the huge chorus and the pomp of Meistersinger's contest, but the humanity of this production (especially of Gerald Finley's Hans Sachs) makes this a more moving experience than usual.
Amazon's price makes this a very attractive buy.

This is the second pair I have bought, both for a couple buddies of mine.  I received my own pair via a gift.  They look good, the color actually holds up pretty well, havn't had any issues with the color peeling.  Great detail, they sway too and fro nicely, a perfect accessory for the cultured persons vehicle.

Question: BEST MUZZLE FOR SHIH TZU'S!!!

I had a bulky key wallet that was always losing keys.  I was so glad to have found FreeKey.  My key set is so much lighter and takes up much less space than it did before.

Question: Great wisdom and insight with practical and actionable advice!

I absolutely loved this book. Pat and Sam have so much insight and wisdom from their 20 years of marriage. They have been extremely proactive in learning and growing individually and as a couple. I really enjoyed learning about the Greek names for love and understanding that love takes many forms. I read this with my wife while on vacation and we both came away with a deeper appreciation for each other and a more robust and passionate relationship. We have already recommended this book to several other couples. I highly recommend reading it together as a couple!

I was about to give up when I was about eighty pages into the book because so far there hadn't been any real conflict. It was a nice family doing nice family stuff. Finally two relationships start and some real conflict gets going. Three of the letters sent out we're dead ends. Think of the conflict if the protagonist  got stuck with five different guys because of her letters. Now that would be a good book.

Question: Very nice books to have in or out of the bath

Very nice books to have in or out of the bath.  These are small and soft that I like to keep them in a variety of places, including the car.  My daughter can easily flip through these pages and see her favorite characters.  There is a lot of detail in the pictures so you can play the "find this" game for a long time.

This is a great to use as a bike and or boat lock.  We use it to lock our boat to our trailer.  Our canoe is small and we live in a safe neighbourhood, but you can't be too safe.  The nice thing, is that you don't have to give out a key to someone you want to loan the stuff to, but when they're done- you can reset your code and they can only get access the once.  It's nice and easy.

Question: A young wolf.....always a wolf

This is a prequel to the actual Noah Wolf series. Being a sociopath, at any age, can mostly only lead to grave disaster most often to the sufferor as well as anybody unfortunate to became acquainted with such a person. Noah Wolf, because of a high intellect and some unusual circumstances, is a happy exception and became actually a well adjusted hero with uniquely though lethal developed capabilties used to fight the "good" fight. The story line is well paced and thoroughly engages the reader's attention from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Question: This music is pointless

This is about as bad as it gets, folks. 10 pointless tracks, boring guitar solos that seem to find their way into every songs, a band name that tries to give you the idea that the band is tough (why not just name the band Rat), and Tawny Kitaen on the cover to boot. If you don't get out much, you might find this album great. However, if you are a fan of the 80s and want to ditch the whole mullett scene, I suggest something along the lines of Depeche Mode, New Order or Tears For Fears, among other synth, new wave bands i won't mention. It'll show you that guitar heroes aren't what make music good. I think that was established when Nirvana came around. New Wave music has seemed to have endured all these years and still get played regularly on radio and on the dance floor. The only song on this album that I am familiar with is "Round and Round", and it honestly has no point to it. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this album, or any other glam metal, hair metal, or hard rokk album.

I am very satisfied with the sale. The quality of the book and the hassle-free sale and speed of delivery were just as hoped for. Thank you very much-- you are recommended! Tom Richards

Question: I used this stand to replace the stand that came ...

I used this stand to replace the stand that came with my 60" Panasonic model VT60 plasma TV, which weighs 88 pounds without any stand.  The VIVO stand permits two heights, and the larger height raises the bottom edge of my TV to exactly 7" above the surface the TV is placed on.  This is enough for me to slide a center-channel speaker under the TV, which was my motivation for this purchase.  The stand has no problem at all with the weight of my relatively heavy TV.  Nothing is "shaky."  The stand is well-manufactured, and well-finished; it is probably as attractive as a pair of flat-black legs can be.  A surprising bargain at this low price.

This protector has a good feel to it, and the streaks from putting it on really did go away after a day or so as promised. Ive found however that the edges of this protector will not stay down when i put my phone in a case, They must be in just the right location that I constantly have to repress it down. I ended up just cutting off some of the problem edges since they weren't actually over the screen. Over all good product but not completely satisfied with the results after following the directions and then putting phone in a case.

EDIT: dropping my rating from 4 to 3 stars, after having had this on my phone for a few months now, I think I wouldve rather opted for a pack of cheaper screen covers. This is peeling along the edges since its not super sticky to begin with and dirt is getting under it so it just will not stick in certain places anymore. Probably won't buy again

I really enjoy Jo Nesbo's work. I won't go into detail about  the book as that is readily available on the kindle website.
Even thought the storyline is always predictable with Hole the recalcitrant hero the substance is really creative and has a depth of brilliance.
I always have a Nesbo book downloaded for when the urge to read a thriller and mix up my library take over.

Question: Killer Malmsteen! *****5 STAR MUST-OWN RATING.

First off, I think the other people in this review either have the old kind of amps where they're adjusting their bass and trebel knobs the wrong way or something? It might be because my stereo system ran me $5,000 in the end, but I thought the sound on this CD was Far more superior than even Trilogy. As far as vocals go on most Yngwie releases ... let's face it: he never seems to get a killer vocalist. I don't think we'll ever see anyone even in the same neighborhood as say, a James LaBrie. It doesn't really matter either, because his playing and composing is that good, that you say, "Who cares if this singer sounds like he's killing his vocal chords to try and make it over the other instruments, this music jams!" The instrumentals that Yngwie has on this alone, are worth the price of admission. The drumming on this one seemed a lot more powerful than on other releases; more clear also. Listen to the drums on Trilogy: you can hardly hear them. The rhythm guitar parts of the songs are also louder and sound great, letting you hear the little tricky sounding stuff Yngwie can pull off, even before he goes into a guitar wizard of a solo. I loved every song on this and thought they all kicked major a**. Want a HEAVY Yngwie with great songwriting? GET THIS ONE NOW! I've been listening to him since the year Trilogy came out, way back then, so I think you can trust this reviewer a little better. ***** 5 STAR MALMSTEEN RATING FROM SCRAGGY'S TOMB OF POWER METAL! Cheers.

Question: This combined with good tights and chaps

I used this throughout my 8 day ride in the Mongol Derby, spending 13.5 hours a day in the saddle riding between 75 and 125 miles a day. This combined with good tights and chaps, and I had absolutely zero rubs at the end of the race whereas many others were in really terrible shape. I applied it once every morning liberally *everywhere* that might touch the saddle. Don't skimp, and don't leave anything untreated if you're up for a brutal ride.

Of the Warhammer franchises, I prefer the sci-fi one more. This title got me into the fantasy side. There are so many fantasy books out there where all the Elves are graceful, resplendent in silver with winged helmets, warrior poets who die with temperance and valor... this book does not cover those Elves.

It seems so simple a thing, just make the Elves bad guys, but there was such a deluge of overwhelmingly noble Elf characters in fiction that any deviation was a huge and welcome breath of fresh air.

Now there have been other evil Elves in fiction, the Drow of Forgotten Realms come to mind, but they're always portrayed as evil, as knowingly doing evil, which lends a sort of falseness to the proceedings, because evil people seldom knowingly commit evil, perhaps a few, but a whole city?

The Dark Elves on the other hand, while undoubtedly evil, it springs from their culture. They don't recognize evil as evil, its just the way things are. Neither society could exist for even a short term, but the Dark Elves of Warhammer are the more plausible of the two.

This tale covers the life of Malus Darkblade, bastard of a royal house, spawn of a warlord and sorceress. Life in his home city is rife with intrigue and chronic backstabbing and reminds me of Borgia era Italy, but with Elves and much more treacherous.

The three books cover Malus's rise for favor and power through the ranks. Malus himself is not the end all, be all Elf, like say Drizzt. He gets his face beaten in, loses many times and seldom gets to enjoy his wins. As the authors themselves say, what makes Malus special is his will, his will to survive and pick himself up for the twelfth round even when his ribs are broken, his friends are dead, and can't even see out of one eye.

There is something very admirable about that and makes his victories all the sweeter when he does win. For some reason, even though these books cover a very despicable character, they don't feel as nihilistic as George RR Martin's books. I think this may be because Malus's story, though bitter, has notions of classic romantic adventure throughout, such as having charming and lovable allies, romance and the destruction of evil, even if it's one evil against another.

That's another thing that perhaps makes the book have an anti-hero feel than straight up villain. Malus and his people are sadistic and cruel, but when he fights cannibalistic beastmen and rotting followers of the plague god who trade in the skins of men, they automatically become more sympathetic by virtue of being more human.

Even so, this series represents the very best of bone crushing pulp adventure, so much so I make sure to read it at least once a year. I'm sure I'm one of the very few for whom this story makes such an impact, but it hits every one of my loves so perfectly I can't help but recommend it!

Question: Fun songs to play through

Fun songs to play through.  The piano accompaniment is very well suited to pick up an play for fun with your cellist friend with some of the sections still sounding complicated enough, however the piano portion may not sound quite up to par with what you may be used to from Piano Guys if you are looking to play this for a performance.

This is Colt's story. Kari's is signed up to be a breeder and is matched up with Colt. When they meet there are sparks. They decide to get to know each other before having a cub.

Question: Fantastic Debut Novel

I was intrigued about this book from the moment I read the synopsis and I wasn't disappointed. It had a beautiful mix of BDSM and Romance that led me to really enjoy the storyline and the characters.

When stranded on a island with her bosss friend, Julia panics. That is until she learns more about this beautiful and intriguing domme shes been left alone with.

This story is a mild BDSM story that would be perfect for those who are new to the genre and want to dip their toes in without going straight to the hard stuff (excuse the pun).

The romance and tension between the Alexandra and Julia oozes from the page and creates a lovely story of discovery into a new world. I extremely enjoyed Alexandras cantor about her Dominatrix career and how she explained her lifestyle to Julia made the reader also feel safe in this very sexy and alluring world.

Question: Great everyday socks.

Fit great, arrived quickly, couldn't ask for more.

For the price this product is pretty sweet.  My last Orbit clock (different model) had issues and I had to contact there customer service for a replacement.  They were friendly and quickly sent a replacement.  I was hesitant to get another Orbit since I had issues with the last, but since they have such great customer service I figured I had nothing to loose.  My main reason for switching to the wireless setup was for a vineyard.  I added about 15 vines and wanted to be able to have a lot more flexibility over the watering without having to walk to the box every time I wanted to run the station a little bit more.

The setup was just a simple as wiring any other sprinkler clock.  The instructions are lacking a little bit if you're unfamiliar with wiring, but they do have a more comprehensive manual online if you need a few extra steps explained.  My setup is about 200 feet from the router.  I was actually surprised I didn't have to get a repeater (which I know had more to do with my router than the unit itself, but reception was still good).  The unit is fairly well sealed from the elements.  I added a rain sensor (which isn't show in the manual and the rain sensor instructions actually tell you to wire it differently that you're supposed to.  If you are adding a rain senor, simply undo the loop wire which completes the circuit (it says sensor).. all a rain sensor does is interrupt the circuit until the sensor is dry again.  Might as well for $18 more.

Once you've done that, download the app and turn your controller on.  The rest of the programming can be done from your phone and no need to sit or squat by the control box for 20 minutes.  Also, your phone can be used as a remote to test all your systems.  No need to run back to the box each time.  Just make sure your phone is not laying near the sprinklers!

Overall, highly recommended.  The only thing I'd like to see Orbit add that a few other companies are now coming out with is a moisture sensor.  This basically acts like the rain sensor, but you bury it in the ground and when your soil starts to dry out it will allow the system to start watering again.  This just prevents over watering since you can't always tell what the soil moisture is unless you have a meter stuck into the ground.

Question: it was still not comfortable. Maybe a different type of filling would help

I don't care for the smell of it. Even after I took some of the filling out, it was still not comfortable. Maybe a different type of filling would help. I do love that you can add or remove filling. I love the pillow case, very soft.

(Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for review through Goodreads First Reads program.)

Roughly 800,000 women served in the Soviet Armed Forces during World War II (also known in Russia as the Great Patriotic War): as pilots, snipers, machine gunners, tank crew members, and partisans. Of these, a quarter were decorated, and 89 received the highest honor, the Hero of the Soviet Union.

A number of children also fought in the war. Prior to WWII, the age of conscription for men was 19; just before the war began, it was lowered to 17. Teenagers and children fought in insurrections, belonged to youth movements, and in some cases, orphans were allowed join the Red Army in an official capacity. (Source: Wikipedia.)

In the graphic novel series KATUSHA: GIRL SOLDIER OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR, Wayne Vansant shines a light on these lesser-known aspects of World War II.

Refugees from their native country of Ukraine, BOOK 2: THE SHAKING OF THE EARTH sees Katusha and her adopted older sister Milla (Big and Little Tymoshenko) arrive in Russia just in time for the bombing of Stalingrad on August 23, 1942. The young women quickly graduate from partisans to militia members, as they're recruited to defend the women and children still remaining in the city. In an attempt to keep them safe (wherein safe is a relative term), their father later arranges for them to attend tank driving school in Chelyabinsk. After several months of study, they're sent to the front lines to fight with the Red Army, where Milla earns the honor of Hero of the Soviet Union for her bravery at the Battle of Prokhorovka in July 1943.

Katusha is just seventeen years old at the outset of Book 2; she celebrates her 18th birthday on the battlefield. KATUSHA is a coming of age story that takes place under the harshest conditions imaginable. Along with her budding feelings for an older officer, Katusha must come to grips with the violence, loss, and deprivations that are part of everyday life during wartime.

The middle of three installments, Im having a difficult time rating Book 2: I entered to win copies of Books 1 and 2 through Goodreads, but only scored Book 2. And Im not sure I enjoyed the story enough to purchase Book 1 on my own (or at least not at the current prices). While the war stories are easy enough to follow, I feel like Im missing quite a bit of background information on the characters, especially Katusha and Milla, and their time in Ukraine prior to the beginning on WWII. (Um, Milla is sleeping with her uncle? I know shes adopted, but still!) If you're interested in the series, definitely read them in sequence from the beginning!

That said, the artwork is above par and the storytelling, engaging. Theres quite a bit of discussion about weaponry (particularly tanks) and battle strategy, which makes sense, but mostly bored me to tears. Vansant touches upon the female experience during wartime, though not in the detail Id hoped. Millas backstory is especially engaging; Id love for Vansant to delve into collectivization in Ukraine further. I was surprised to see so many families serving together (e.g., Katusha, Milla, and their Uncle Taras).

Katusha and Milla elect to fight as Russians in the Patriotic War in the hope that they may someday return home to their native Ukraine  making the series title somewhat ironic. Should they find their way back in Book 3, it will only be at a great cost.

Question: Long winded and difficult to keep reading

I loved this series and is the reason I didn't give the book a lower rating. The final book felt disjointed from the others, as though the author struggled to tie the end into the story line. There was so much useless dialog and descriptive run on sentences. Multiple times i skimmed through wordy paragraphs and still hadn't moved forward in the book. Luckily the story wraps itself up well, redeeming the ho-hum descriptive diarrhea earlier in the book. Wish I could say more about a book I was looking forward to.

A smart book, well written.  In a whole word of mediocre  novels, this one was refreshing.  Neems is a pro...the plot never sagged....it resolved beautifully .

I used these during the Holidays. Out-of-town family couldn't tell the difference until I told them and they were impressed. Used it for Apple pie and Pumpkin. Perfect.

Received the guitar in a timely fashion. It came undamaged in good packaging. It does stay in tune after about a couple of hours of playing and adjusting the tuning constantly. Let it sit for a day then it held the pitch. This is my first classical guitar and the nylon strings stretch quite a lot. That said. the tone of the guitar is very nice and mellow and it actuality sounds pretty nice. The action of the strings is adequate and with the wider neck it is good for my fat fingers LOL.  It seems quite well made. hey man it's only $59. Plus the gig bag is not padded but it's good for storage and throwing it in the back seat. I have purchased other instruments from Rondo music and they always have a great bang for your buck! Nice classical guitar. 5 stars. Thanks Rondo Music.

Question: Fit good but could not tolerate sitting on it for more ...

Fit good but could not tolerate sitting on it for more than a few minutes. Horrible fabric--rough and non-breathable.

Almost perfect. It arrived exactly on time, was well-packaged, and almost exactly as described. I'm really happy with the frame itself. It's sturdy, simple, and elegant. Plus, it's in my school's color!
However the hangers that are "easy mounting onto wall either portrait or landscape. ideal for any home and office." were not really there. First, I only received one tab, not two as shown in the picture. Second, the tab was ridiculously annoying to shift. It came in portrait position, and I nearly tore the backboard trying to get it to fit in landscape without breaking. Third, the nail hole is also waaaaay smaller than on the picture, but is too big for a standard nail. The saw-tooth version in the picture is good for nails; this is just one simple hole too big for nails, too small for a push-pin.
I'm debating on attaching one of those 3M picture hangers to this.

Question: Very nice every day carry knife

This is a well engineered knife. Very light. Sharp. Solid construction. The blade pivots very smoothly and locks firmly. If you are looking at this and the larger version go with this one as the larger one has a design flaw that will rip your hand up if you carry it in a jean pocket.

I received these coin cases today.  They look as pictured,  they fulfill the description.  My opinion,  theses cases are very
fairly priced.  I am very impressed by the company's shipping practices.  They arrived in very protective packaging and
arrived on schedule.  I looked at a huge assortment of coin protectors before ordering these.  This company had the best
price, for this type quality coin cases..........

Just put a proof Gem silver dollar in one of the cases.  Fits perfectly.  These cases will serve for any half dollar...

Question: Great gag gift for the Chevy enthusiast!

One star too many. Not happy at all with this shirt. Overall shirt is a double X however the neck hole is a XXXX. The shirt looks goofy. It took a long time to receive and it came from China. The Chinese can copy anything except quality!

After about a month the white foam padding inside started to fall apart.

Question: Are you ready for Hard Time?!

Here's an interesting and fast paced time travel/dinosaur story. Action kicks off pretty quickly, and while a short book, definitely easy to follow. Travel to a prison unlike any other and witness what the inmates have to deal with to survive. Quite a fun novel to take a spun through.

It is not a real swing a way, I think. The hinge rust and not real stainless steel. I donated my old real swing a way to goodwill and 100% regretted now. It rusted almost within a month of use.

Why on earth would you put a label on the side of these that does not com off????? The bar code is on the bottom and I now have 7 of these in my model home that I cannot get the stickers off of.

Fast shipping...however, it didn't seem that the right hardware was sent with the bar.  Screws were too long.  The black band broke the second time I used it.  Seller was responsive and said to send everything back...but instead of paying the shipping I just cut the screws down and I don't use the bands much anymore because I am afraid the others will break too.

Question: Not for winter in Iowa, but comfortable!!

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I love the color (dusky blue) and slipped them on with some blue slacks because I just love wearing them. Well, it's -17 degrees today and my feet did get cold, but my feet don't hurt after being on my feet for the past 6 hours. A rarity for me. They run a little big, but a thicker sock works great

I only gave four stars instead of five because I just got the bed.  I was a bit skeptical when the boxes arrived, the boxspring was about six inches wide.  The bed expanded once it was taken out of the package.  I was fearful this bed was going to sit two inches off the ground, not so it is the exact height of a regular bed.  So far it's great, I am completely impressed and surprised by this bed and how compact it was when delivered.  The bed is firm and the boxspring seems quite sturdy.  This bed went into my guest room so it will take a few uses to fully rate, but I will happily give it a try to see how it does.  I'm still trying to figure out who designed this, don't freak out when you see the boxes, this is a full sized bed that is indeed quite comfortable!

I ordered a half size smaller and I'm glad I did, they are still a little large. These shoes are even more comfortable than my Sanitas and Dansko shoes. I have high arches and they have nice support. They are holding up well, I'll probably get another pair in a different style since I like to rotate my shoes . I definitely recommend them for people that are on their feet all day.

Question: great family movie for halloween

my son loves this series of movies he doesn't like scary he watches this and gets a kick out of it. clean family movie for halloween

Replacing Stephen Gammell's wonderful artwork is blasphemy to this iconic and nostalgic series of books. Anyone who read these books as a child knows that, even though the stories are great, the artwork is what kept you up at night. I know that soccer moms who believe that their children are porcelain statues that must not be harmed might not realize this, but being scared is NOT a bad a thing.

Without Gammell's amazing artwork, these collections of stories are useless. It's the same as reading 'The Cat and the Hat' with different illustrations. It's just doesn't work. That being said, Helquist (the illustrator of these copies) is still a great artist, but he has nothing on Gammell's thirty years of impact on children and adults alike.

Please, if you are new to these books, do yourself a favor and DO NOT purchase this version. Please search for the original copies and purchase them. Anyone who purchases these copies is just falling into the horrible sell-out of the publishing company. If there's any hope at all, the original copies will be reprinted once again alongside of these. If not, I really feel sorry for future generations.

Question: it often does great damage!

Every parent and educator needs to understand that false praise does not help kids to grow and mature. In fact, as the authors demonstrate, it often does great damage!

Mr. Kaufmann here reaffirms his claim to fame as the world's greatest tenor! What can't he sing? Thomas Hampson's interpretation of Scarpia is vigorously brought to life with a brilliant, thoughtful, interpretation. Mannerisms mar Emily Magee's interpretation in the title role.

Question: The buttons are too hard to push!

I like the case very much.  It's attractive, durable and would be five star if not for the fact that I cannot operate the buttons without looking at the case and pushing extremely hard.  This is very annoying and, even though I love everything about the case other than the button issue, I am on the verge of returning it due to this annoying problem!  SPIGEN - can you help me with this?? Thank you!

Size 8 brown destressed fits like uggs size 7. Being an owner of a show size 7.5 I usually wear 8 in boots with enough room for a sock, but my toes felt squished in this size 8, even though they do not in uggs size 7. Probably due to the fact that suede is not as soft and stretchy as sheep skin and the lining of BPs is much denser. Thinking of trying a size 9. It didn't feel like I would be ok with wearing these long enough for them to stretch out. Can't comment on durability, but the boot itself looked pretty nice.

Question: nice material just don't wear it if you plan on ...

nice material just don't wear it if you plan on doing work of any kind because it can snag and tear very easily.  a little small but comfortable and cool with the breathable material.

With the release of the new movie, Jurassic World, I decided to read the original book by Michael Crichton which he wrote in 1990. As I got into the story I realized the books real focus was not dinosaurs. Instead, it is a riveting critique of the idea that science has the final authority on truth.

Crichton, who died in 2008, was a prolific writer who wrote a series of books that expressed an ongoing theme, he believed scientists had become more concerned about profits than discoveries that furthered the health and welfare of humanity.

In Jurassic Park, Crichtons voice is heard in the words of Ian Malcom, a maverick mathematical genius. He was hired as a consultant to advise John Hammond, the rich entrepreneur who wanted to advance the field of genetic engineering, no matter the cost. Rather than be burdened by government red tape, he bought an island where he was free to do what ever he wanted in the name of science. His goal was to create a controlled environment where he could show the world the amazing things that could be done, even bringing dinosaurs back to life.

Throughout the book Malcom utters a series of remarks that skews the notion that scientists can control their creations. Malcom (i.e. Crichton) makes the case that the idea the physical universe follows a predictable, observable pattern has been overturned by mathematical discoveries like chaos theory and fractals. He also believed you cant control nature. Living things will do anything to survive. Here are two quotes that sums up the theme that runs through the book:

You decide youll control nature, and from that moment on you're in deep trouble, because you cant do itDont confuse things. You can make a boat, but you cant make an ocean. You can make an airplane, but you cant make the air. Your powers are much less than your dreams of reason would have you believe.  (p. 351, Jurassic Park, paperback, 1990).

My point is that life on earth can take care of itself. In the thinking of a human being, a hundred years is a long time. A hundred years ago, we didn't have cars and airplanes and computers and vaccinesit was a whole different world. But to the earth, a hundred years is nothing. A million years is nothingLets be clear. The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet  or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves.
(p. 369 Jurassic Park, paperback, 1990)

So if you happen to go to the theater this week to watch dinosaurs break free of their constraints and eat some humans, be well advised that Crichtons ideas have far larger implications. For him the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are a metaphor for how science without ethics and boundaries has the potential to unleash environmental catastrophes that in the long run won't bother the planet one iota. The real problem is not what we are doing to the planet. Its what we are doing to ourselves.

Question: I definitely recommend this item

This pillow case is gorgeous. The petals look very three-dimensional, even if they aren't. It's vibrant in color, true to the photo. And it arrived in a snap, so much so I was surprised. I definitely recommend this item.

We used this for incubating our chicks and it was great to have a heat source that did not produce light.  After the chicks fledged, I started using it in the oven to incubate yogurt- brought our oven up to 110* and was perfect for making yogurt.  They are a bit fragile, however... my daughter broke one.

Question: Simply Enjoyed Reading This Book

I read book two of the series first by error and then later came back to this book 1, giving me a better understanding of the characters and events taking place in book 2. The author does a tremendous job of developing Olivia's character and inner thoughts in both books helping the reader to understand life and struggles for a young woman during that time period. I also appreciated the attention to detail in describing life and surroundings in Ohio and Michigan during this era. Having grown up around Detroit, it was fun to have this book get my imagination going thinking of life around that Detroit area in an earlier period. While reading these books, the reader is likely thinking about how we as humans have or have not changed over the years and what kinds of injustices we still impose on one another. I wish to read more from the author down the road. Again - I simply enjoyed reading both of these books.

I'm headed to DC for a 6 month assignment, and I needed to step up my wardrobe. I ordered my normal clog size-39 and it was too big, lot of heel slip. I tried them on a a shoe store and figured out I needed a 37. So, the 37 works.

Question: Excellent!  Unfailingly Engrossing

I read Jennette's story of her 200# weight loss--HALF-ASSED and just had to read her next book.  Notice that I refer to her by her first name, for her writing is such that I feel she is a close friend.  She is funny and brave and eloquent.  This is one I want to read again.

I totally loved his book . One of those you just couldn't put down . I kept sneaking off to read it. Great story which was a bit reminiscent of a very popular tv show with its idea but still enjoyed it.

I got this to house small adapters and crimp tools in the top of my 1510. It really adds a lot of storage and got the small stuff from rolling around in the bottom of my case to being safely secured in the lid. My only complaint is the tall pocket on the right's zipper zips up and opens down so when I open it to remove a crimp tool its a little difficult to get the zipper out from under the weight of the other tools in the pocket. Get out the tiny violins, I know its a small complaint! Otherwise I absolutely love this

Question: My son LOVES this game

My 12 year old got this game just after Christmas and has not been able to stop playing it.  He has been having so much fun figuring out everything it can do.  He has not loved a game this much in a long time.  I highly recommend it!

I was a bit skeptical of this travel pillow but on a 14 hour flight anything would help. I don't like the pillow around the neck so this was worth a try. The shape is a bit odd at first when you pull it out and blowing it up on the plane but trust me there are much stranger things people do than me blowing up this pillow.

The soft texture it nice against the head but the seam is a bit uncomfortable. Good luck with trying to strap the string around the back of the seat. I think wearing like an arm sling is the way to go plus it give a place to rest the arm.

Overall, I would say it was a good investment. Fairly easy and compact when rolled up and towed away in a carry-on. I might try their sleeve cover to cover the seam.

Question: Would continue to use

Works fairly well, traps a lot of hair but when you go to pull it out not all of the hair comes with it completely, have to pull the rest through the top of the drain with a hanger

The solution works well, but it's not all you need to do.  My silver was black as night.  At first I did one piece and followed the instructions to a tee; I even soaked the piece a second time as instructed.  I discovered that I had to still polish the heck out of it with a cloth.

I had a lot of silver.  So instead of double-dipping and polishing, I decided to fill the whole jar with my silver and leave it in the solution until I could clearly see the shine.  It took about 24-hours.

The silver came out untarnished but yellowed.  To get the bright silver shine, I had to polish the heck out of each piece.  I had experimented and thought maybe after the silver dried completely, it would lose that yellow color, but it didn't.

The solution does do a great job at removing the tarnish, but you still need a polishing cloth to get the bright silver shine back.  And to keep my jewelry shiny bright, I've been storing them wrapped in a polishing cloth, zipped up tight in a plastic bag.

Question: Great Civil War History Read

No student of Grant's overland campaign should forego reading this thoroughly researched study. As the author thoroughly documents, field fortifications were critical for both sides of that struggle.

I bought this to carry some light tackle for bank fishing at some local ponds/creeks/lakes. Upon arrival i expected it to be small, but the thing is like 1 ft tall by 1ft long and 8'' wide.  Not a bad product mind you, i just wish i'd taken more care to research how small it really was.

Directing Shakespeare can be deadly.
This is the first book I have read in Elizabeth J. Duncan's Shakespeare in the Catskills series.  The main character is Charlotte Fairfax, a Brit who now lives in the Catskills and is the costume designer for the Catskills Shakespeare Company.  When she comes across the body of their new director in his bungalow, the investigation is on.
The main characters are well thought out.  Each personality is distinct, and all of their actions are believable.  The author has kept the plot fairly tight, and all the clues you need to figure out the murderer are there, if you notice them (I didn't catch it until the very end).
What I liked most is that there is a lot of insider information on how a professional production works.  The book talked about the roles of director, stage manager, actor, and costume designer and what each does and how they work together.  I gained new insight into what goes on behind the scenes.  Ms. Duncan's language also harkens back to some of Shakespeare's own imagery and language style, which adds to the enjoyment.
Overall, a good solid mystery that should keep you guessing until the end.
I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review.

All of the other reviews are much more detailed and take into account things that may be positives or negatives to you. I had a Zojirushi unit which I was happy with.  But I had granite countertops installed and the Zojirushi would no longer fit under my cabinets.  Like by half and inch, but what can you do.  I researched thermal coffee makers, read more reviews than a sane human should read about coffee makers,  bit the bullet  and bought the DCC-1150BK.  I had only a few criteria.  I needed stainless and I wanted thermal.  I have had this coffee maker for a few months.  It brews coffee.  I pour the coffee into the cup.  The coffee tastes good.  The coffee stays hot.  Nothing else.  This is how simple I want a coffee maker to be.  I bought it and am happy with the purchase.  Take care.

Question: This case held up really nicely for 5 years

This case held up really nicely for 5 years. It is very well made and has multiple positions to prop it up. I bought 2 of these for my 2 nexus 7s. It has started to wear down after 4-5 years, but I don't have any complaints. I would gladly buy a new one.

This song kick A$$, I love Rihanna her music is excellent; and Diamonds proves she will go far in her career. The reason why I love this song is it has a kind of pick up up message. To me it lets people know you are somebody ; and be the best you can. The music ROX, and I can't think of a song by Rihanna I have disliked. If you like music where a person can actually sing and not shout,, this is a guaranteed  winner. I love music from the 70's, 80's, 90's and some of todays. It is too bad some of today's talent can only shout and scream; if they had talent like Rihanna I would like it more

Question: SKQ brings more to the table then just articles about SK'ers!

I like the fact that SKQ brings in different aspects in life that gets you thinking.

This is a very unique and refreshing slant by SK'er.

They have reviewed movies, tours and now art. I have never connected art before in this way.

I even looked up David Van Gough's art work to get a really good look of it after  I read the interview... And understood it better.

SKQ gave what I was looking at meaning where it was just kinda weird art before... I actually decided I like his art now.

I really also like that they go out of their way to supply you with links to more info on these subjects in the event you'd like to pursue them father.

SKQ has opened my mind to different aspects of life and the SK.

Not only do they tell the story of SK's in a different fashion, not just facts on SK'ers we've read about before... but also they show insight to different aspects in life that could and do influence people, some times without us even realizing they do.

I also like the fact that the articles were written more toward the victims then the SKer.

They do go into great detail about the SKer's, but unlike many who write about SK'ers ... SKQ authors make a point of giving great details about the victims lives too.

I'm really enjoying reading (but not too much has LM has pointed out) SKQ and am looking forward to more.

There is nothing better than this!  I'm putting a large home on the market after 26 years so I've been boxing and packing for weeks now.  I've tried virtually every brand of packing/shipping tape and none of them came close to Gorilla for performance.  Not only is it wide and sticks well but it was easy to apply, saving loads of time compared to other brands.  My biggest problem with all of the others was that if the tape fell back on itself, it could take tremendous amounts of time trying to find the start and get it going again without it shredding.  I wasted so much time and got so frustrated with all of the other brands, eventually throwing some roles away.  So thankful I finally came across Gorilla.  My packing is going so fast I didn't want to run out so I ordered more on Saturday night and it was at my door early Sunday morning!  Can't beat that.

Question: Flavorful and inexpensive organic cocoa powder.

This cocoa powder has a really rich flavor. I haven't used it yet in baking, but I've made several shakes with it. They are noticeably more chocolaty with this powder than when I used another brand. For the price, you can't beat it.

Excellent carry-over from book 1. Make sure you have a good dictionary to look up some of the Latin words.
