Question: Incredible, an exploration of what it means to be alive

This book had a profound effect on me.  The encyclopedia chapters about whales and whaling contained a lot of symbolism, and often ended with very sharp and interesting insights into the human condition.  The story had  many levels to it.  After reading this book, it would be impossible to ever  think about being an American, a human being, or a biological organism the  same way again.

I really cannot think of words to describe how I felt watching this film.
I was so busy flossing my brain, I think I missed the reveal.
Was it important?
One star for the island.

Question: Great activity tracker

I really love my misfit shine. It's so much better than any of the others that I've used, and it really motivates me. I also like the sleep feature.
Update: unfortunately, the disc slips out of the band to easily and I lost mine after about six weeks. I had ordered the more secure band but it hadn't arrived yet. I like this device so much that I had bought one for my son and then one for my grandson also. however I change my rating from five stars to two stars because of this defect.

This item is good. The only bad is the rubber outside stretches after you put it in and out of your pocket.

Question: Smells great. Seems like a weird accolade for a mountain ...

Smells great. Seems like a weird accolade for a mountain bike product, but when you sleep with your bike like I do it's a nice trait. Makes cleaning up after a muddy ride much easier since the muck and grime just rinses off easily. Protects all the little hard to reach screw heads and threads, etc. from oxidizing and plastic and carbon parts looking great. Once dry, it isn't oily at all, just looks like new. I do a quick wash and tune after every ride and Bike Protect keeps my bike looking new.

I read this book after being teased with the excerpt published in "Backpacker" magazine.  But I was slightly disappointed when I read the book. Yes, you are immersed in the daily life of back country rangers as well as search and rescue operations.  However, I felt at times the book was long winded, especially when describing other people or actions that were not central to the story.  It is obvious Blehm researched the book extremely well, but often some of the details bog down the story.

Ovbiously, the setting was remarkable and I think Blehm did an excellent job of describing the land, especially as Morgensen saw it.

The book was written in a suspenseful nature but often the reveals were not as pivotal as they were set up to be.  Overall I found Blehm's tale of Morgensen to be compelling, tragic, and well-told.

Question: I have been using TurboTax since 1997; that is ...

I have been using TurboTax since 1997; that is for 18 years.  I always thought TurboTax was
a well organized program and had very few problems using it.  This past year doing the taxes
for 2015 was a nightmare.  All kinds of sections went haywire.  Printing the final mail in copy
was disastrous.  Answers were not printed on the same pages as the questions.  The conversion
to the printing step into a Microsoft WORD document should have been a benefit, but instead
it was a handicap.  The form mailed into IRS came back as non legible entries.  The only way to
solve the problem was to retype data to be somewhat similar to the tax form.  Although I have
faithfully used TurboTax for 18 years, I shall NOT attempt to use it for the 2016 tax year.  I believe
I shall attempt to use H.R. BLOCK tax program in the future and not attempt confusing TurboTax again.

I like the fact that the tax forms are referenced. It definitely makes the information understandable. Thank you very much.

Question: Not recommended for Apple households

***This is not a comment about the movie -- Just a recommendation for folks that are standardized on the Apple media ecosystem -- AppleTV, iPod, iPad, iPhone, and iTunes*** If you are used to buying a BluRay with Digital Copy with the intention of watching it on your AppleTV or downloading to iPad for off-line viewing (as in, on a flight), LOOK ELSEWHERE.  The digital copy here is relegated to the new half-baked UltraViolet standard.  It allows the file to be downloaded with DRM for playback by Microsoft PlayReady compatible device (good luck, outside of a PC) or streamed via the Flixster app to your iPad or iPhone.  I tested it and the video quality is terrible compared to a locally stored copy in full fidelity.  Sadly, the Flixster app's UI is just terrible. The website and login creation process is clunky and failed twice for me.  I can not recommend this.  Skip the "Digital Copy" version and go for a movie-only version.

It should be noted that the alliance behind UV does *not* include Disney or Apple.  There is no sign that Apple will sign on to make UV alliance to make their system compatible with Apple's DRM.

Very upset. Decal is beautiful and shipping was very fast! But as you can see, it does not fit my MacBook. Really wanted this sticker :(

Question: Very nice little cable

Very nice little cable. Compact so I can keep it with me in my gym bag without needing to have a long tether. Also nice to use as a data transfer cable from my computer. Just know that as a 1ft cable, you're not going to have a log to work with.

This cable is also compliant with USB-C, as checked with CheckR app.

Cable is extremely well put together, and feels like it can take a beating. After purchasing this, I will never be able to go back to a cheap non-nylon braided cable,

The ends are also made of some sort of metal (feels and looks like brushed aluminum), which gives the cable a great solid feel.

I would recommend this cable to anyone who has purchased a USB-C device and is in need of a emergency charging cable or a data transfer cable.

The 1ft cable is too short for me to recommend this as a daily charging cable, unless your charging port is on your desk or nightstand

The tie can be a bit difficult to do by yourself but for the price it is worth it. Not something for a man because it's small I bought it for my wife who loves it.

Question: Not bad, but the notes need work...

Mounce's "Graded Reader" is intended as a transitionary textbook for students who are in their second year of Greek.  I give it three stars because, while it is better than any alternative I have found, I think it is lacking in several respects and is somewhat disappointing given the quality of Mounce's BBG.

The book consists of 20 extended passages in Koine Greek, coming primarily from the New Testament.  The readings cover all four Gospels, several letters, and Revelation.  In addition, a Septuagint Psalm is thrown in, as well as an excerpt from the Didache, one of the earliest teaching documents of the Church.  In addition to the passages, there is an introductory section on a technique, developed by Mounce, called "phrasing."  It is essentially a means of diagramming Greek sentences to clarify the relationships of the parts of the sentence.  Also, the book has a synopsis of Wallace's extensive "Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics," and a "cheat sheet" which lists the various cases, tenses, etc., and their uses.

The passages themselves have footnotes, which are primarily used for vocabulary.  The footnotes gloss words that occur 20 or fewer times, and in addition to a definition provide the number of occurrences of the word in the NT.  This is useful for finding the words in Mounce's flash card deck, if you have that.  Aside from the vocab notes, each page explains various theological and/or grammatical concepts.  At the end of each passage is a grammar summary and reflections on the text.  I agree with a previous reviewer that Mounce's theology can be ignored.

My biggest complaint about this book is that the commentary in the notes is not very useful.  The footnotes consist primarily of references to other author's commentaries.  They tend to be in this form:  "Why did Paul use the aorist here?  See John Doe, p. 100."  This is not terribly helpful, since he references 15 or 20 books, few of which I have.  If Mounce is simply going to refer to someone else's commentary, why not just buy the commentary and skip Mounce's book?  Since 90% of his notes are question format (e.g., p. 7 "What is the antecedent of auto?") without answer, they do serve to call attention to important concepts, but if you can't answer his question you are out of luck.

That Mounce is the master of morphology is certain.  However, one can see from his BBG that he is light on syntax, and I found many challenging concepts unmarked even by one of his questioning footnotes.  After struggling through Ch. 7 (Romans) with extreme frustration, I recalled that at the beginning of the chapter he said the grammar was not difficult.  If Mounce is in tune with students' morphological struggles he is not in tune with their syntactical struggles.  Nonetheless this book is more useful than a non-commented text, and better than the JACT New Testament reader.  Still, one hopes that a better reader with commentary will show up some day.

I found it interesting, Many parts new to me, areas of history I had not studied.  I should have had a map beside me to facilitate my understanding

Question: A manual for animal rights activism

Meat Market by Erik Marcus is a great book. It tells budding activists - and even strong, famous activists - new ideas. For example, he describes the idea of dismantlement, which is the idea that animal agriculture can be eliminated. I cannot begin to describe how this book has inspired me in my new attempts at activism.

This book is nicely divided into four well-organized sections. The introduction describes the gruesome realities of animal agriculture. Part II is a clear analysis of the current state of animal activism. The third section contains essays by guest authors who offer a wealth of experience and practical ideas for hitting the streets and actually doing something to help animals. Finally, Marcus provides detailed responses to hunting, animal testing and more. And of course, there are plenty of resources and footnotes. The best reason to get this book is because it doesn't just tell you what's wrong with animal farming; it tells you what to do about it! Think of Meat Market as a handbook or manual for animal rights activism. Carry it with you and share it with friends! - Eliza Schmidt and Caroline Jones

The information was laid out very precisely so that the text was easy to read.  It did seem a bit dated, though not inaccurate.  I would have liked if the pictures inside were colored rather than gray scale, since it is such a fascinating subject.

Question: My cat absolutely loves it!

This is the ugliest toy and I didn't originally want to get it but one of my siblings convinced me to. I'm glad they did because somehow my cat absolutely ADORES it. I don't know if it's because of the long fuzzy middle or what, but he can play with it for hours and be content. He'll pick it up and carry it all around and he doesn't often do that with toys.

So 5 stars! Looks can be deceiving but what we might find weird, apparently cats go crazy over.

It works well but if he's really excited we have to keep turning the settings up but it works still.

Question: Don't waste your money on this gas can.

I bought a 5 gal can to fill my tractor. The can leaks when pouring. The spout actually came out of the cap today and I spilled about a gallon of fuel on me, the tractor and the ground before I could get the can back upright! So much for keeping fuel vapors out of the atmosphere EPA!  The valve system may be OK in a 1 gallon can but the 5 gallon can is too heavy for the flimsy spout system.

Worked as advertised. The only issue I had was with the regulator. It would have been nice to have a High, Medium, and Low setting. Overall it was easy to assemble and worked like a gem.

Question: Good for lounging around home

These pants are ok for the price paid. They run very small and I ordered a much bigger size based on reviews. I'm usually a medium and ordered an XL and they fit well. I am tall and they are long enough on me. I ordered the black pair and the waist is accurate on the model and is not the waist pictured in the additional pictures; it's the narrower waist and not the triangular waist and there have wider fabric at the ankle. The fabric is shiny and thin so they will only be worn around the house. They are comfortable and good for lounging around. They come directly from China so expect to wait a few weeks!

Does what it says on the tin.  I bought a pair for xmas, and they have worked out perfectly.

Question: Attention Deficit no more

The central thesis that value has shifted away from traditional economic measures to novel ones such as attention is highly relevant and the attention economy is a must read for anyone in business or indeed for anyone running a not for profit as both need attention in the same way that fish need water. In my own book Stone Soup: The Secret Recipe for Making Something from Nothing I rely heavily on the paradigm defined in the Attention Economy because once you understand this novel form of economic measure you are then open to explore other economic definitions such as the relationship economy.

Over all an invaluable read that is also in its own way highly attention grabbing!

Question: A Fantastic and Accessible Work of Political Thought

This is not really a philosophy book, per se, but it ranks among the indispensable political philosophy texts of the 20th Century.  Personally, I would characterize The Open Society as one of the greatest criticisms of Western totalitarianistic thought, and, in Volume One, Popper makes a very convincing case that much of that thinking derives from Plato's philosophy of the state.

Popper's contention is that Plato is one of the first significant figures in Western History to advocate for the 'Closed Society' and totalitarianism.  Through the vessel of Socrates, Plato shoehorns his own political ideas and aspirations into his written dialogues, transforming someone who likely had democratic sympathies into an anti-democratic advocate.  Socrates, in earlier Platonic writings, appears to have had somewhat humanitarian notions of justice - famously playing the role of societal 'gadfly' - and questioning our preconceived notions to arrive at ultimate truths.  However, by the time Plato writes The Republic, Socrates has made a 180-degree turn.  Without ever being too concrete, Socrates argues that justice is that which is beneficial for the preservation of the state as a whole (not that which resolves disputes and treats individuals fairly), that "the good" is that which perpetuates the rigid structure of his society, that change is almost universally bad (Plato felt like society had decayed when it went from oligarchy to democracy), and that a caste-system premised almost exclusively on heredity and propagandistic lies is not only justifiable, but is necessary to the secure state.

Plato, like Heraclitus before him, has a 'historicist' conception of history.  Put simply, historicism is when a theorist believes that history follows an inevitable path or pattern in accordance with natural law.  Given history's tendency to move in a particular direction, historicists frequently argue that we should construct rigid utopic states, hoping to either accelerate or mitigate society's inexorable flow.  This type of thinking routinely results in historicists justifying various forms of totalitarianism following a complete system-overhaul.  Popper, on the other hand, believes that the only acceptable humanitarian way to change society is through piecemeal reform in a democratic process; it may be slow and frustrating at times, but it places us, ideologically, in a better position to weather the vicissitudes of actual history, which is rarely predictable.

Popper's writing is very clear and accessible, if not always concise.  While there are moments where he repeats himself (or at least could have condensed the writing a bit), it's all worth it once you reach the powerful final chapter in Volume One (Chapter X).  Anyone with an interest in philosophy, history, or Western political thought should consider giving this book a chance.

What an amazing read!!  Characters complex and real.  A must read at any age!  Please add to list of reads.

Question: Loving And Accepting Curly Hair

I first became interested in a book like this after making up my mind that I intend to fully accept my natural curls.  Additionally, I was lucky to have stylists that did a great job with chemically straightening my hair but there was a part of me coming out that wanted to work with my natural curls. I just got tired of forcing my hair to be straightened when I had a hunch to find a book to work with my naturally curly hair. Fortunately, "If You Love, It Will Grow" by Phoenyx Austin provided the answers and guidance I need to embrace my natural hair.  The following are some of the tips that she gives:
Chapter 1-My Hair Story: Phoenyx Austin shares what inspired her towards her journey of deciding to wear her hair in its natural state.
Chapter 5:Lifestyle Principles For Healthy Hair Growth: Phoenyx  provides informative tips on having healthy hair.
Chapter 10: She provides on how nurturing the natural hair texture helps with having stronger hair.
 My own natural curls are the result of my Puerto-Rican, African American, and Menominee Indian ancestry. The book appears to be geared for those from various backgrounds who have "type 3" hair and/or curlier.  Naturally curly dot com and ouidad dot com are both good resources in determining one's curly hair type.  "If You Love It, It Will Grow" by Phoenyx Austin is an encouraging book for anyone that needs help in making the most of their naturally curly hair.

How can you not love this book.  Made me laugh, made me cry.  Must read for everyone.  Am giving copies to all of my reading family.

Question: GE / Jasco Products = Don't buy it, you'll be sorry

If I could give zero stars I would. Type in the display to left of the displayed time is critical to programming the unit yet so tiny you can't read it so you'll never be able to program it or see what state its in. Very poor design especially considering the very unit demonstrates they can make the type a legible size. Additionally, programming is overly complex. Programming on/off times requires over 9 steps with some of those recycled within a step. Product diagrams in instructions also unreadable due to size. Obviously Jasco Products in OKC could care less about making customers to let this out to market, its basically unusable.

Complete piece of garbage. It takes forever to start to work and only if you jiggle the plug right. I even tried sanding the plug but I think the motor is a substandard piece if crap too since even if it does work it take 5-10 minutes to move at more than a crawl.

Question: The real difference between BEARPAW and UGG

Okay first thing first - everyone can see the price difference, and many will say that's all.  And yes the BEAWPAWs are of pretty decent quality, and these Emma short boots are identical in style to the UGG classic short boots.  If these were my first or only pair of shearling-lined boots, I might have been quite happy with them.

But they are not my first.  I've had several pairs of UGGs, although I'm not of the type to be dead loyal to a brand name and never wanting to branch out - so when winter rolled around and I needed a new pair, I ordered these BEARPAWs at less than half of the price of similar UGGs.  After all, the reviews say they are just as good, right?

When I got them out of the box, my first thought was that they are very heavy.  The suede upper seems soft enough and the wool lining seems fluffy enough, but the whole construction feels stiff.  If I didn't know better, I'd have thought that's just how this style of boots are... but since I also have the UGG classic short boots, I got those out too for a side-by-side comparison.

The most discernable and quantifiable difference is the weight.  While both pairs are size 8 (and incidentally, the BEARPAW size 8 fits smaller than the UGG size 8), one BEARPAW right boot weighs in at 473 grams, whereas one UGG right boot weighs in at only 270 grams.  Upon closer inspection I think I know why the UGGs are so much lighter - they are made out of a single layer of shearling, which is sheepskin with a sueded side and a wooly side.  The BEARPAWs are made with at least two layers - a suede leather (unclear if it's cow or sheep) outside, and a fluffy wool lining (which may be shearling or may have a man-made backing).

What makes two layers cheaper than one layer is simple - quality shearling with no bald spot on the wool side and no blemish on the suede side is rarer and comes at a higher price.  It costs less to manufacture the suede outside and the fluffy inside using two layers of more commonly available material.  The end product is not bad - it may even be warmer or more durable - but you should know the difference before settling on either one, as they are certainly not the same.  I find the BEARPAWs too heavy and stiff for my liking, so they're going back - no complains about their value as it's still a very good quality/cost ratio, but I wish it was made more clear in the listing that these boots are not made of twinface shearling.

I'd like to also point out that not all UGGs are made of shearling either - from what I've tried, the new "I heart UGG" line is also made with at least two layers of material, and are much heavier/stiffer than their Classic or Bailey lines.

These shoes ruined my feet. I have huge calluses all over the soles of my feet now. Particularly where the sole of the boot is a grid pattern underneath. Its like my foot molded into that grid and now i cant walk anywhere unless i wear these shoes or i am in excrutiating pain. Pay thebl extra money and get some decent footwear because these will screw your life up.

Question: "I put on my make-up..."

"Hedwig and The Angry Itch" comes at a critical time when popular arts, specifically acting/theatre and rock music, have sunk to an all-time low.

Who knew that a movie/play/satire about a East German tranvestite rock and roller would be such an inspiring movie? I sure as hell didn't when I first viewed this during the summer. I walked out of the theatre with a lot of hope for the future.

Face it, actors/actresses don't know how to act anymore without exhibiting some degree of self-consciousness. John Cameron Mitchell, who also conceived the original play and did a terrific job of directing, gets 100 into the role of Hedwig, a character that is flamboyant, absurd, funny, heartbreaking and a terrific communicator. And the man is the first genuine rock and roll heart I have connected with in too long a time. Even though it's a ficticious character, he blows away a good percentage of today's, ahem, "rock".

The lovely Miriam Shor is terrific playing a man (in this case, Yitzak, Hedwig's love interest) and shows an amazing energy, dramtic flair and punk rock spirit. A ballsy performance and an excellent example of losing yourself in the role and making it effective.

And the music? You like Punk, Gothic, Glam, Rockabilly, Heavy Metal, Psychedelia and good ol' knees up singalong? Look no further. This is some of the very best TRUE ROCK MUSIC (and Show music) that I have heard in ages. Catchy, nervy and rocks like hell.

The film is a remarkable acheivement. What could have turned into a routine filmed performance or even a performance piece, is actually a fine story with great editing, energy and plenty of color. It could have been a garish display, but Mitchell has done the impossible by keeping the camp and making a truly focused work. Let's see more form him.

The DVD comes with a remarkable 80+ miniute documentary about the history of "Hedwig" and interviews with all involved. This is truly indispensible stuff and highly entertaining.

Multi-media pieces usually don't work in the cinematic realm. John Cameron Mitchell has succeeded in this impossible accomplishment and also created what is a long overdue creation in cult cinema.

And that is? The first TRUE rival to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Give Rocky credit for starting the genre, but give John Cameron Mitchell plenty for taking it further and producing a labor of love on every level.

I will never tire of "Hedwig". It is most welcome in this current era of pop atrocity (Robbie Robertson croaking Supertramp? Yeah, right...).

In every neighborhood there is always one house that all the children know to stay away from. But these houses aren't just limited to tiny suburbs in small towns. Even in New York City there's a building that all the neighborhood children know to avoid. An old building known as The Rockwell where witches and trolls and vampires live.
When newlywed Caroline Evans moves into her husband's apartment at The Rockwell, her children are quick to voice their fears about the ongoing rumors.
To Caroline, those who live there are just a bunch of lonely elderly people who simply adore her children and shower them with gifts and lots of homemade goods.
It isn't long, though, before the rumors become real for the children when they hear strange voices and laughter at night. Soon after, not only does Caroline's daughter begin to have recurring nightmares but she also becomes strangely ill. Just like the foster girl who lived upstairs. Now that little girl has disappeared - and when a social worker begins asking too many questions, she disappears too.
Everyone knows witches and trolls and vampires aren't real. But when Caroline and her children realize the evil that truly resides at The Rockwell, it just might be far worse.
Filled with things that go bump in the night, the imagery alone in Midnight Voices will leave the reader with lots of chills and thrills. This book also reads somewhat like a crime suspense novel, and though some parts are a little predictable, it still provides a very entertaining read.

Question: As wonderful as the movie

If not better than the fabulous movie....b/c it comes with so much more than was included in the film!  I love the jazz of that era, and the CD has quite a few jazz extras.
If you liked the movie, you'll LOVE the soundtrack.  I haven't stopped listening to it for days!

My son and I loved reading the book together.  He, not being an avid reader, wanted to read it every chance he got.  He was totally engaged and couldn't wait to try similar things out on his own.

Question: Create Your Own Star Rating!

Start with three stars, and deduct one or two if you sometimes or often complain a movie is "slow." (By the standards of foreign arthouse flicks, this isn't all that slow, so if you had no problem with The Tree of Life, you're golden. If, OTOH, you're down to one star, you may well want to skip this regardless of the following.)

Add a star if you like challenging sci-fi movies like Donnie Darko, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Prestige, and Primer. This one is actually easy to parse, provided you think along with it by asking yourself what might be possible in the film's sci-fi experiment (receiving information, via a wired connection, from a *comatose* patient), and then look for clues that confirm your suspicions. (See the end of the review for more.)

Add a star if you empathize with problematical characters and tend to cut them some slack if they behave badly, e.g., by sensing that were damaged by something in their past. In this case, our hero does not behave admirably, but it's ultimately clear that partaking in the experiment itself is damaging him, and making him increasingly obsessive. To the movie's credit, this is not telegraphed in the least.

IOW, this is a rare example of what might be called "Arthouse Sci-Fi." While not in a class with 2001: A Space Odyssey or Upstream Color, it's nevertheless terrific. The production design, cinematography and soundtrack are all stunning, the performances are excellent, and the story, while relatively thin compared to the aforementioned, is thought-provoking and moving.

Note that the trailer, near the end, gives away a key plot point, so you shouldn't watch more than half of it.

SPOILERISH TIP: Lukas has been connected to a woman who is in a coma and hence has no active brain function. What kind of information might such a person be sending him? Information that *already existed* in her brain ...

I purchased this book for my Kindle Fire.  I really like the story and the message, but I was disappointed that any of the media clips (videos and music) were not supported by the Kindle Fire I have.  That's why I cannot give it 5 starts because I couldn't fully appreciate the book in its entirety.

I like them but there's no draw string so the waist band slips down when swimming laps.  It looks like it does in the photo, and the style is pretty good.

Question: It's OK But it Goes Through Several Cycles of NOT Being Recognized by the OS [Updated: 080716]

The product serves its purpose. However, when the operating system starts it can go through several cycles of NOT being recognized by the OS. This is kind of frustrating when you are ready to tackle a project on your computer. The same exact process happens when it comes out of sleep mode.

Update: August, 07
Plugable Technologies support has been very helpful with troubleshooting this with me. Thus far, after 2 tests, there is no longer any rebooting/power cycles of the device AND I'm able to run multiple web cameras on it. I'll continue testing. I may attach another web cam to see if it can handle it.

This device didn't want to allow music to be put on it.  This was a Christmas gift for my teen from her little sister. The teen struggled for months trying to load music on it. She finally gave up.  We purchased her a new one for her birthday 9 months later.

Question: Basic flash, works well enough

I purchased this particular flash because I don't have a lot of money and it seemed like a good basic one.  And that is exactly what it is.  While it comes with instructions to set your camera to a certain ISO speed and aperture, I've found I don't have to use those to make good use of the flash.  I've played around with it at other ISO speeds and other apertures and shutter speeds and found a variety of ways it works well.

Don't expect this to be some really awesome fancy flash, but for what I wanted it for (taking the occasional indoor photo without red-eye or weird shadows on someone's face), it works great.

(As someone else noted, there is indeed NO sync cord included.)

Worked, survived some dummy drops (I dropped my pack is some dumb places while on a hunting trip). Didn't freeze.

Question: A Shift in Perspective

A book that touched the very core of my soul! It is riveting story of Dr. V, a man who had a dream of becoming an obstetrician but whose dream was shattered because he was struck with crippling arthritis and was bedridden for two years with unimaginable intense pain.. Dr. V sees this not as an accident, but a calling - he was to become a legendary eye surgeon who lit the eyes of millions in India and around the world. he himself has conducted eye surgeries successfully on over 100,000 people. He started out from a 11 bed facility to build Aravind, the largest eye care facility in India that is based on 3 guiding principles: turn no patient away regardless of whether they can pay or not,give high quality care to all and do not go after government sponsored funds, foundation monies or philantrophy. His vision, his reliance on spirtualism as the corner stone of his success, his awareness for the plight of the poor who need help and his ownership to seek out solutions, indeed makes him unique in history. It is a must reading, it will change you and when it changes you, it will change the world that you see around you.

Question: Perfect rope for CrossFitters

THIS ROPE IS AMAZING! I purchased a different brand on amazon originally and after a few uses it split open and then one day when I was doing DUs it just broke so I was on the hunt for a new rope.  I saw this brand, read the reviews and thought I would give it a try.  I am so glad I did!  IT IS PERFECT!  Easy, lightweight, nice colors and very durable.  If you are thinking about getting it, GET IT.  This is legit.

Evocative descriptions of place allow one to easily step into the author's universe, while the juicy plot is a serious page turner! I can absolutely envision this as a screenplay as well....

Question: Great solid case. Retains fingerprints.

This case is a very solid case for the iPhone 5.  It consists of a hard layer that you put your phone into and then a softer layer that wraps around it.  Once in place the iPhone is wrapped up very well in the case.  The case is very hardy and I am not worried when the iPhone is dropped in the case.  The color options are a great addition, but for myself, I prefer the plainer looking black cover.  The screen is protected by a solid screen protector and the home button is protected by a thinner layer of plastic.  My only gripe about the case overall is how easily the screen retains finger prints.  Not too much of a problem as long as you wipe it clean often.  Overall it is a solid case and it looks more streamlined than some of the other full protection cases that are available.  It is a great price for a great product.

Though it passed the water test I have an issue switching the phone from silent to ringer... sometimes it works and other times it doesn't... it is a good case otherwise.

Question: The words in this book are just that.. ...

The words in this book are just that...words. Many words without really giving any concrete direction. Yet the author, concludes with "this book has guided you step by step to making your unique blog". I have no idea what chapter those steps appeared, because I never saw any direction for beginning or ending a blog.

David Jones says the same thing in every chapter and will repeat himself again and again. I don't think you need a book to tell you that your blog should be interesting, you need to have an interesting subject, and you need to make time to keep it updated.

This book gives no presentation on technique. I paid $8.95 for this book that told me 'nothing' about how to create a blog!

I purchased these books for my grandsons and haven't opened the package.  They look good from the outside and I'm sure they will be stimulating on the inside as mine were years ago.

Question: Washington was a man of great character. Arnold was a man of great treachery

Philbrick' VALIANT AMBITION made me appreciate more than ever the Revolutionary War. Clearly well researched, I was introduced to people I've never heard of. The portrayals of all characters caused me to understand their humanity, talents, quirks and contributions to a new nation. Washington was a man of great character. Arnold was a man of great treachery. This was not an easy read. At times the book is flawed by verbosity, yet there are times when the writing is exhilarating.

A Primary Decision
The Worthington Destiny #3
By Dr. Kevin Leman
  and Jeff Nesbit

Sarah Worthington has always been the baby sister and her parents princess, but she's determined for them to see and recognize her as something else.  When President Spencer offers her the chance at becoming US Attorney General Sarah sees herself one step closer to her dream.

But the recent path the Worthingtons have been on has been one fraught with setbacks as someone seems intent on targeting the siblings and bringing them down.  But who is working in the shadows against them? And how much do they know about the Worthingtons and the secrets they are keeping?

As small gains are made in the Polar Bear Bomber investigation more questions are brought to light. But can evidence be discovered that will clear Sean before the photos that ended Will's political run are made public? Or will Sean's seemingly chance meeting with a stranger derail Sarah's dreams as well?

As secrets create divides withing the Worthingtons they will need to learn that their greatest strength lies in their family ties and their love. This is an interesting look at family and friendship. What brings some people together while driving others away? Why do some do anything to protect those closest to them while others only use for their own benefit and gain?

The Worthington Destiny is an enjoyable series that definitely keeps one guessing as to whom certain mysterious persons are.  One has ideas as the story arrives at its satisfying conclusion but the thread of mystery just adds a greater depth to the story.

The reader doesn't have to read the first two books to enjoy this book as each book focuses on a different sibling, though all of the Worthingtons are fully fleshed out as characters in each story.  But I would recommend reading all three books as there is a story thread that runs throughout the series.

I was provided a free review copy of this book by the publisher with no expectation of a review positive or otherwise - all opinions expressed are my own.

A nice companion to go with your vinyl editions of the original STAR WARS soundtrack albums from the 1970s :)
In addition to some great music, the vinyl is sturdy, has custom artwork on the A & B side labels, and you get a voucher

This is a very nice hard cover book with the history of the movie, director and actors.  The actual disc has a nest inside the book for safe keeping. The movie is one of  a kind. Funny and entertaining.

Question: From TOMS Shoes to Pencils of Promise to Summit Series -- it's all here

Even though I don't have kids, this book was still immensely insightful. As a writer and entrepreneur, I found the lessons here applicable to my own life.

In Margot Bisnow's book, I came across stories that I'd never heard before about today's most successful entrepreneurs. From the founder of TOMS Shoes to the founder of Pencils of Promise -- it's all here.

Highly recommended!

I got these for me I like gel pens everyone of them worked and they worked perfect every last one of them. I expected no less but these days you can never tell I'm throwing away brand new pens daily. I got this product for a dicounted price with a code in exchange I agreed to write a truthful and fair review. If you have any questions feel free to ask I will do my best to answer them.

Question: Something they didn't tell you...

What is NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE in the product listing is that you will have to order 2 of these to make it a point to point system. The description tells you it can be used point to point but doesn't tell you that they don't come in pairs. If I had known that at the outset I would have ordered a pair and been happy, now I have to order a second one and wait another week for it which is a waste of my time.

so future purchasers be warned you need to order two of them!

This is a great informative, and inspiring book! There is helpful information in the book for just about everyone! And there is a free bonus book to download, as well, that looks just as amazing as this one! I like books like things because it helps you think about things in a way that, maybe, you haven't before! And it can be very motivating to have a new perspective on things!
I would recommend this book to all of my adult friends!

Question: why are we all not using permaculture concepts?

Lots of info in this book.  I read the first addition several years ago so picked this second addition up to reread it.  I do a lot of reading on this subject and find this book is much better than other books in detailing permaculture concepts.  Each chapter covers a different part of permaculture ...soil. water retention, guilds, forest gardening, etc.  Explains how working with mother nature can help you create a succesful forest garden with less work then typical food gardens grown in rows.  Not too beginnerish and not too scientific.  Definitely worth having in your personal library.

Reading this book now and taking in the information.  My daughter just did the Whole30 and is urging me to follow suit.  This stuff should be taught to our children in school.

Question: At The Mercy of the Sea

This is not a sea story, but a story that takes place on the sea. It is a story of a man searching for meaning and relevance.  It is about a man, who after spending his life chasing the American Dream, realizes that the American Dream only allows you to dream.  So he sets off in search of something real.  His reality proved to be a nightmare.

Before I finished the Prologue, I could tell that this was a story about me. In fact, it is a story about many men just like Carl, the lead character.  Men of "quiet desperation" as Thoreau so aptly put it.  And before I was halfway through the book, I knew that I was going to miss Carl, even though I had never met him.

The research was painstakingly detailed and accurate.  The writing style was captivating.  As I read, I felt the same exhaustion, frustration and fear as those that were in the hurricane.  Like a movie watcher that knows danger lurks around the corner, I felt myself pleading with Carl to go east, just go east into the Atlantic and come back when its all over.

I got the book on a Wednesday and finished it on Thursday evening.  I couldn't put it down. John Kretschmer has officially crossed over from story teller to serious writer.  I look forward to what he will give us next.

Ernest Hemmingway gave "West in the Night" rave reviews and he didn't even care for the author Beryl Markham. He is correct a great read as the author brilliantly recounts her life and adventures  in Africa in the early 20th century. Br

Not terrible,  but it needed more polish to be worthy of a higher rating.  If it had not been free, my expectations would have been higher and I depending on the price, I would probably have given it no more than a two.

Was it worth the price (nothing)?  Yes, and then some.  I would have still been reasonably satisfied (justifying three star, average rating) if I'd paid up to $2, but any more than that would have disappointed.

The activity center is very engaging for all young children and the walker functions as support for beginners and imaginative play for toddlers. This is the 2nd grandchild Ive bought this for and it has been well worth the money.

It was very difficult to program as the setting switch jammed shut repeatedly - success on the 4th try. also, the plug is very loose and keeps falling out of the outlet, and so we have to rely on the batteries.

Question: Definitely not fiction

I chose this book for two excellent reasons or to be more accurate, because of two excellent officers: Col Robert B. Rheault and Col Charles M. Simpson III. I had the good fortune to work for both of these fine men in the late '60s and am in awe of them still.

This isn't a Tom Clancy special, it is a factual account of what it was actually like in Special Forces in the early days. It also a peek into the kind of men it took to do the difficult job assigned to them.

Question: Great doll for a 2 year olds.

Gift for my Great-granddaughter, she loves her baby.

As our second Step2 product, the quality of this nursery is what I expected. all portions are made of a thick plastic material except for the cabinet doors and washing machine door, which is made of a thinner, more "flimsy" plastic. Assembly was pretty simple. A one person job, only about 45 minutes. If you purchase do make sure that during assembly you hold all pieces firmly together WHILE putting screws in. I made the mistake of letting go and had to re-screw several pieces once I had been finished and stood back to look at it. Stickers (as any stickers would be) are somewhat of a challenge to put on. My girls don't play with this so far as much as I thought they would, but I am sure that they will gain interest over time.

It smells a little funny but it's a rubber mask, so come on, stop being a little pansy. It's creepy and serves it's job well. The only wish I had would be a longer neck so I could stuff it inside shirts easier for that full "horse head" illusion. All in all, great buy for ten bucks or whatever it is.

Question: A Sexy, Medieval Fantasy Romance

Theres (almost!) nothing I enjoy more than reading a book that whisks me away from reality and submerges me in a fantasy world filled with good, evil and steamy seduction! In this book, our heroine Melisse is a lowly servant who is humiliated at every turn by the family she serves. Her adventure begins when she is lured into the forest at night and seduced by a man that fills her with magical fire.

As a lover of both historical and fantasy romance, I have to say that the medieval setting felt very authentic. In addition, the dialog flowed naturally, moving the story along with finesse. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this fantasy romance really is like a sexier version of the Game of Thrones, with many plot twists and turns that left me wanting to discover the truth!

This author is a skilled storyteller with an original voice and an almost lyrical quality to her prose. I was drawn in by the first (very sexy) scene and was soon burning through the hot pages of my Kindle. I hated to put the book down to tend toward the mundane details of my life  I wanted to stay immersed in Melisses exciting world!

If you are a fan of explicit fantasy romance, youll love The Marechal Chronicles. Its an adventurous 5-star read.

I was given this in exchange for an honest review. I must say that I just loved this book. There was great chemistry between Sara and Jarroth that kept me so excited to keep reading! I really enjoyed reading Ms. Rister and will look forward to reading for her in the future!

Question: great for learning the capabilities of Civil 3D

I highly recommend this book as well as the others in the series.  It helps to have some basic familiarity with AutoCAD before picking it up, but this book is well written and easy to follow.

Just finished reading this book and passed the vSphere Foundation exam.  Book does not cover everything you will encounter on the exam.  You will need to watch the vBrownBags on YouTube, and maybe watch the CBTNiggets VMware course if you want to make sure you don't fall.  This is all assuming you are new to VMware like I am.

Question: Satisfying But Not Amazing

The 37-year-old Harry Potter fan that I am, I know I am not JKR's target audience. That said, I was disappointed by some of this installment's contrivances, repetition, and lack of smart and witty dialog. For example, some of the clues Harry, Ron, and Hermione seek just sort of appear out of nowhere, causing this reader to pause and raise an eyebrow, and more than a couple battles conclude with Harry regaining consciousness, having blacked out at the end. However these disappointments did not stop me from inhaling the book; I was definitely hooked. The battle cry of Dumbledore's Army was chilling and exhilarating, and the final show down pretty satisfying, too. One thing though:  did an editorial assistant write the epilogue? Seriously?

This guy over promises and under delivers with shady marketing.  If this was worth the money he wouldn't be spamming every painter in North America begging for sales.

Question: Cool Product and GREAT VALUE for a good product

I bought this for my boyfriends Droid X. It's really cool how there is a thin rubber and then a semi soft/hard case. Really cool and not bulky at all. It doesn't tell you in the product description (unless I missed it), but it comes with a cloth screen cleaner (it's ok) and a HIGH QUALITY Screen protector (the ones you get from verizon for 3 for $15-$20). So a case, a cloth and screen protector for $12! Great

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! GREAT ADDITION TO ANY SMART HOME!

Question: So what if they're on Mtv..

I see some people giving this band bad reviews just because they became popular are because the lead singers voice sounds like that dreaded Fall Out Boy's lead singer. That fact may be true, but I for one can't stand Fall Out Boy, but I love this band. At times this cd does come over a bit cliche, but they do it so well. This band is not my type of music at all. but I can't help but like them. They are so catchy and the Cd is put togethor very well. Like other reviews have said.. this band doesn't write lyrics containing; love sick tragedies about their g/f's. They write lyrics about modern day music and how everyone is trying to mold them into something they're not. I'm convinced that this band is exactly what Fall Out Boy would have became if they would have mixed dance elements into their music instead of whiny g/f lyrics like every other band these days. I truly love this band and they never fail when it comes to putting me in a good mood.. I look forward to seeing more of this band in the future. If you're still reading this review, stop. BUY THE CD. The price is unbeatable.

This isn't a REAL Lawn-boy, just another inferior Toro product.  I still use my old reliable 2-cycle Lawn-Boy most of the time.
This mower is no better than the MTD mowers (maybe not as good) that you can buy at the local
"big-box" stores for far less money.  Toro has really destroyed the Lawn-Boy brand.  The only good thing
I can say about this mower is that the Kohler motor starts easily, but the mower does a poor job of mowing the lawn.

Question: Good but over-priced.

I needed a sheath and bought this one.  It works pretty much as it is but its definitely overpriced.  I later found a machete and sheath together for about the same price.

Terrible.  A drop of water got on it and the dye bled and stained my table, it is poorly made.

Question: Loved one, liked the other

After Moonrise is basically two stories in one, sort of an anthology but with only two stories and both have characters that are from the After Moonrise detective agency, thus the title of the book. I'll review each story individually to make it easier.

*see the blurb for more descriptions on the stories*

Possessed by P.C. Cast
I really enjoyed Kent as the hero but found the twin thing a bit unsettling (as a woman) to read. It almost read like what a Male's twin fantasy would be. Kent as a character is cold in the beginning due to all the death he's seen both in real life and psychically (being a psychic detective) but the twins definitely find a way to warm him up. The whole story is about an unconventional love story between the 3 main characters and of course there's a baddy that Kent must vanquish in order to save his ladies. All in all it was a good short story. On its own, I'd give it a 3 1/2 rating. I liked it but didn't fall in love with it. The writing and concept were good but the twin thing was a bit much for me to swallow.

Haunted by Gena Showalter
I definitely loved this story more than the other one. Not just because I love, love, love Gena Showalter but because this is a wonderful love story with murder and mayhem mixed in and the story itself will keep you guessing with all the possibilities till the end. It has so many twists and turns that it will make your head spin. It is so worth the ride. Levi is to die for! He's a wonderful down-to-earth detective who is approached by his neighbor, Harper, who wants to report a possible crime. Harper is having weird black outs and when she comes to, she has mysteriously painted a possible murder scene but the painting is unfinished. She and her roommate are being tormented by the whole situation and they want Levi's help. Levi decides to see what he can do and so the adventure begins. I won't spoil anymore for you, seeing these are such short stories but I totally would give this story 5 out of 5 on its own.

Had to send the first one back, but it might have just been mishandled at the warehouse... Second one works great...

Question: currently using this on a fixed front sight post for ...

currently using this on a fixed front sight post for a concealed carry pistol.  no, it is not a night sight and yes you do have to charge it with a flashlight before use.  It glows very bright and after about three months of use it is only slightly worn off.  glows very bright when charged with an led light.  the light on an iphone will make this product glow for several minutes with only a 5 second charge.

no, i would not use this as a substitute for true night sights if i had the option.  however, the gun i have chosen to paint this on has a non removable fixed sight.

The package I received was cracked open with a few scuffs on the finial.  He previous one of these I ordered came with two nuts to take some of the pressure off the bottom finial.  This one did not.

Question: This series is a keeper! Worth checking out.

Interesting setting for the series, in an MMO world type scenario. I immediately thought of my Dark Age of Camelot years. Good character development; and internal and external character conflicts. Good read and start to the series. I have already bought book 4 and am looking forward to the rest.

Great characters and story line. Recommend it

Question: Handy, useful, well made.

This is something I use quite a bit and recommend it highly.  It is fairly highly polished, and smooth.  It is great for stamping and flattening and planishing.  I got the rubber base for it, and am glad I did.  It isn't so loud to use it and keeps it from sliding around on my table when hammering.

Question: Decent, if Romantic, adult intro to a AMAZING man

If you are looking to carefully separate fact from fiction in the story of Lafitte, this is not the first place to turn.  If you want a copiously footnoted, modern, scholarly study, look elsewhere.  But if you want an intelligent, clearly written introduction to Lafitte, this old classic is not bad.

Saxon has a tendency to accept the most Romantic aspects of the Lafitte mythology.  But he tells the story in a clear style, with a lively sense of narrative.  The illustrations don't add much to the picture, but they do serve to break up the text.

At $14 don't expect the printing to be stellar.  But it held up to a full reading, is decent, and is printed locally.

Anyone who wants to understand the complexities of contemporary New Orleans, and why it remains more European and Caribbean than American, will do well to look at the colorful figure of Lafitte.  In many ways, he represents spirit of the city.

Anderson has crafted some incredibly interesting fantasy stories with well written erotica.  Read the stories in order, and start with the first book "Claimed", as the series builds.

I love this watch. Its perfect for step tracking, sleep tracking, and workout heart rate tracking. I change it less than once a week. The new Nokia app is pretty good. It makes counting calories so much easier. I love it

Was inexpensive so expectations were low. Material too light weight which might work well for other but not for me.

Question: Do not purchase this item, did not work correctly out of the box.

This did not work out of the box.  It is extremely hard to tune in radio stations and the remote did not work.  I basically purchased this for the CD player but this portion did not work most of the time and when it did, it skipped and the went back to "searching".  I was barely able to retrieve my CD because it got stuck in some sort or "start/search" loop.  To add insult to injury, I have to arrange to ship it back and assume the financial responsibility for these costs.  I based this purchase on past reviews but mine was a lemon

Cheap piece of garbage peeler.  Broke on first use when peeling a cucumber.  Total waste of money and utter disappointment.

Question: Great complement book to the GoF's Design Patterns book.

Holub on Patterns" by Allen Holub is a complement book to the well-known GoF's Design Patterns book.

Allen starts with on overview of object orientation and design patterns and basic design principals like programming with interfaces and define patterns versus idioms.

In the main part of the book all 23 design patterns grouped in creational, structural and behavioral patterns are introduced while setting up two applications: The Game of Life" and Implementing Embedded SQL". During designing these applications the author discusses the design patterns in a practical way giving many detailed code snippets and UML diagrams.

The appendix lists all patterns in a brief overview with the most important facts: the context, what problem does it solve, pros and cons, often confused with, reference to similar patterns and implementation notes and examples.

The 432 pages are full of helpful information understanding the well-known design patterns and seeing them in practical usage accompanying with each other. Allen gives very valuable hints to understand the backgrounds and the details of all patterns.

Allen assumes the reader to have basic java and UML knowledge. This book serves a wide audience: beginners and also experts will find very valuable information.

The author also gives very specific information and hints on design flaws like the design of the JEditor Pane in Java Swing. He also gives an excellent own solution how he would design the component. Also he does not hide his opinion e.g. about Microsoft technology.

This wonderful book did a great job for me. I read Allen's point of view with his clear words. The book is a real discussion not only a boring list of patterns. I love the practical usage in the given scenarios. Although in my opininion the two example applications are growing to big.

I really hope the author writes other books. I love his style and would like to further profit from his knowledge.

The book published by the excellent publisher Apress is an absolutely must-have!

A friend made the Sausage, Peppers and Onions for a potluck and I loved it, so she gave me this book for Christmas. I have since purchase 5 copies as gifts for others. I have yet to find a recipe that didn't work, and the humorous side notes amuse me!

Question: Extremely heavy balls (uncomfortably so) and the outer finish is not very durable - easily pitted and marred

Man, these are HEAVY!

This is our 3rd bocce set, so we are not unfamiliar with the game or the equipment.  And these are the heaviest bocce balls I've ever encountered.

We played with them the other day and it took serious effort to get much distance with these.  I am a moderately fit person in my late 50s and I had to literally huck these to get the distance I needed.  Strike one.

We play a modified version of bocce...just think free-range bocce where we play in the yard and all around the house.  This sometimes includes paths that include a cement driveway or chipped asphalt street.  I was disappointed to see that with even light contact with hard surfaces, the outer finish became readily and significantly chipped and marred.  Strike two.

On the plus side, the carrier for the set is pretty cool and has a place for everything.  The balls, target ball and even a tape measure (included with the set).

Pros:
- Turns your device into a tank

Cons:
- Device becomes twice its weight
- The screen protector will trap any oils or dust underneath itself
- Very small hole for the lightning port.
- The back of the silicon sags down when holding the device level

I have long been a Tana French fan, but this book takes mystery to a different level. Her words glitter and sparkle off the page. Her characters are so distinct and believable that I would know them anywhere, should they suddenly come to life This is my vote for book of the year, in any genre.

WARNING:  Only read this and the other Kathleen Turner Series Books if you have TIME!!  I start reading these books and before I know it, 2-3 hours has past.  I can't put the books in this series down.  Poor Kathleen takes a licking (again and again) and keeps on going with the help of Blane and Kade.  Two brothers, vastly different, both in love with and she with them.  My vote goes to Kade!!  Yes, please :)  Love Tiffany Snow's writing - you feel like you know all these characters and are vested in the outcome of their relationships.  Treat  yourself a great ride!!

Question: "Your blood be on your own head."

In A Certain Justice, murder victim Venetia Aldridge (brilliantly played by Penny Downie), is depicted as someone no one is surprised to learn has just been brutally murdered.  Why?  Because she is a dynamic, powerful, ambitious, woman up for a job that few want her to have.  Last time I checked, the attributes Venetia Aldridge effortlessly embodied are arguably expected, encouraged, and tolerated, when part of a man's character.  (That part of the story irked me no end.)  A great portion of the dislike for Venetia stemmed from jealousy, she was simply better at her job than most men are.  Too good in fact, because her last "winning case" came home to roost.

Most of this `mystery' required a lot of digging into the past.  This involved slow, methodical inquiry hampered by the fact they only had a few suspects.  Roy Marsden, as Adam Dalgliesh, proves to be a languid personality; half the time he seems bored or disinterested in the proceedings (like he's just five minutes from retirement and can't be bothered).  I found that charming in an odd way, most people seemed to underestimate him.  (I have to admit this is my first exposure to the character Dalgliesh and the actor who portrays him.  Having never read anything by P.D. James, I don't know how faithful a rendition this was.)

Fortunately, I happen to like all the digging into the past so I didn't mind the dead slow pace.  My only complaint is for one inconvenient murder left untended.  One untidy murder I can handle, two is just plain carelessness on the part of the adaptation (or original author's intent).  Not addressing a possible co-conspiracy charge for aiding and abetting the disposal of a body is too serious to simply present then dismiss without mention.  That too irked me and marred the ending of this "mystery."  As a result, I won't be too quick to seek out more from this murder series.

This is apparently the sequel to The Cult of Me (The Third Path), which I haven't read.  In saying that, it's kind of apparent there's history but I didn't feel that I was missing out by not having read Cult.

This is an age old story of good versus evil, angels, demons, souls, God, etc.  There are a few strands going on, which obviously come together bit by bit.  Sometimes I felt like there could be a fleshing out of various bits of the story.  I think I liked the Friar Francis bits the best.  I would have liked to have read more about his part in this story.

An enjoyable read and I shall have to read the first one now, to see if it enhances my enjoyment of this one.
