Question: Black Express Monitor Stand

Size and type of product is perfect for what I needed.  Was easy to construct and well built.  Looks nice and provided the stand that fit in the space I had.

Highly recommended for all those who have heard about the American Cowboy and the Wild west.
A Vintage look at some of the well known personages of that era. Good collection.
Worth every cent. !!!

Question: love the 2 gallon size!

Great for kombucha...
Do not use the valve included though for making high quality kombucha. Other high quality spigots are available and work better in my opinion.

i would have given it 5 stars, but they made a mistake on one of the pods(at least 1)

the pod said lemon balm, but the plant that grew from it was a type of basil,

i would have never known, but after i grew basil, from another kit, I noticed the same leaves , and did some research, checking out plants from gardens and herb stores...

all the basil leaves look similar to what i had, while lemon balm had leaves that look like mint,

so now i am wondering, if the other pods are growing what was labeled , like the mint being lemon balm, and such

Question: Great for holding water bottles

I store bottled water in my kitchen pantry on the floor.  There were occasional leaks which might go unnoticed for awhile.  I tried other trays which did not work out.  I have two of these all purpose trays which are much nicer because they accommodate gallon jugs, litres and small bottles.

This book is an excellent history and background on PA Dutch/German cooking.  Recipes appear to be an accurate reflection of traditional local foods.  I have been trying for 3 yrs to understand what is Pa Dutch cooking -I've eaten an unbelievable variety here in SW Pa.  This well written book answers my search.  One cannot simply buy whatever Pa Dutch cook books catches one's eye without first reading this book on the subject.  I don't think the local PA Dutch themselves understand the impact of tourism eating that has affected them and their cooking!  I can't wait for Fall to seek out the church/fire house dinners to taste the real PA Dutch cooking.  The Kutztown Festival next week will be a real eye opener for us.

IT WAS PERFECT, I USE IT TO WRESTLE OR TRAIN JIU JITSU AND ITS GREAT. I HAD TO PURCHASE IT AGAIN

My 6-year-old son LOVES this game. We think this is the best of the three CARS games that are available. They have expanded the game quite a bit by adding LOTS of new characters, new cities, car customization, mini-games, etc. So far we've had hours and hours of fun and we're not through with the game yet.

Question: Not as pictured, loose connection. Don't buy if you have a Dell Inspiron 1000!

Don't expect to receive what is pictured and don't even try it if you own a Dell Inspiron 1000! In fact, don't try it at all! It should be made very clear that this is not a Dell product. This purchase was my first attempt to get the correct AC Adapter for my Inspiron 1000. First, the product sent says the brand is "Clear Max". Next, the adapter is not as pictured and features a straight connector where it plugs into the computer, whereas the original Dell charger had an L-shape and a yellow ring around the connector (as is shown in the picture), which is missing from this adapter. The original Dell adapter fit snugly; this one wiggles because it is too small and I have to keep moving it around, sometimes even holding it in the air, for the computer to recognize that it's attached. Mine is not loud, as another reviewer experienced; it is just a piece of junk that doesn't work with the computer well and is most definitely not the item pictured!! I took a chance ordered a different item that also pictured what I need, and was sent the exact same product as the first! So, I kept the first one and returned the second because the first seemed to connect more snugly and cause me fewer problems than the first (although it definitely still causes me plenty of headaches!!). I would say run, run fast away from this product and call Dell directly, spend the extra money, and order a genuine Dell part that is suited specifically for your machine. Very disappointing product!! Even as I write this, with the "best" of the two adapters ordered attached, my battery light is still flashing on and off as though there is no AC power connection!!* The 2nd worst purchase I've ever made from Amazon (the first being the adapter I returned)!!

This dress is absolutely flattering for a girl with lots of curves I love it!

I bought a couple of these to give as gifts.  My nephew loves his and carries it around with him.  His mom loves that she doesn't have to follow him around reminding him to turn off the light when he is done.  It automatically turns off when the music stops.  Great learning toy!

Question: I did not like the mixture indicated on the bottle as it made ...

Surprisingly, worked very well! Make sure you shake property and test out with the correct water mixtures. I did not like the mixture indicated on the bottle as it made my grass look artificially green, especially because my current grass was brown and crisp (California). After figuring out my desired mixture and color, sprayed it and instantly changed the look of the front yard. Now, everything looks uniform and GREEN! I LOVE IT! Everyone thinks I've taken great care of the lawn now. You can't even tell its painted on. Now I have green grass yearround and I don't even have to mow.

If I may....

I know how it is when one approaches an anthology. It's usually a mixed bag. There are no guarantees. But having lived with these pieces many times in the Write Here, Write Now workshops, and through the editing process, I can say that what we're priding ourselves on here is a wide variety of compelling writing. Each piece will draw you in and give you something to think about. And the range of subjects, styles, voices, genres and forms is pretty amazing. We have ten minute plays, blog entries, personal narrative essays, short stories, novel excerpts and poems. We have crime stories, based-on-a-true story stories, a novel in stories, satire, sci-fi, romance, talking cakes, talking mice, essays on death, love, music, friendship, poetry on personal and spiritual transformation, war....It's a veritable buffet (don't worry, the only scrapple is the one on the cover). Yes, Baltimore has Madison Smartt Bell, Laura Lippman, Anne Tyler, and Rafael Alvarez, and they are all terrific writers, but so are the local everyday people in those diners at two a.m. and workshops and critique groups all over the city. We wanted to celebrate them and share them with you. So here is your first taste. Dig in and enjoy.

Question: Plantronics Bluetooth 350

Love this product line, I have the 320 myself, 340 purchased for my mother and 350 for my husband.  All outstanding quality for the money. Easy to hook up, easy to use. Will continue to purchase Plantronics.

I bought the set for my mother with protection plan. Her plan just finished and the food chopper's knife got broken while chopping an onion. Its unbelievable.  Over price for the quality.

Question: Great high quality printer

Great high quality printer. We print documents from our iPhone using wifi. One time the connection didn't work and we just re-booted.

Router has MANY advanced features and is priced well below it's actual capabilities. It's not exactly the along the lines of your store bought routers in ease of use but anyone mildly serious about networking shouldn't have much difficulty. LCD display is touchscreen and has many accessible features. Firewall uses standard iptables rulesets and chains. Manufacturer provides really helpful documentation as well via their site. Would buy another.

Question: One of the most powerful and devastating books ever written about the horrors of the WW2!

Virgil Gheorghiou, wrote one of the most incisive, devastating and merciless novels about the WW2.

A man is captured as PWO and regarded mistakenly by Jew: Obviously he refuses and tries to convince they are wrong. But this attitude will be regarded as a simple device to accet the unavoidable; he will be confined in a prison. Since that moment this simple man will make a real tour around the hellish places until the war is over.

This intense drama is told with admirable and supreme realism. At the moment to consider names such Arthur Koestler or Mika Waltari, you should not forget Gheorghiou among the great ones in this genre.

Don't miss it!

These pens write smoothly right the box. Great for office work and feels fairly comfortable while being used. The lack of a grip area may bother some ppl if they are accustomed to that but it's good without it for me. In relation to price and quality, this is definitely a great buy. Highly recommended for everyday use

Question: Short, creative, "Myst"-like game but with bleak ending

I've been searching for years to find a game with even close to the fabulous graphics and puzzles of the Myst trilogy, so I got this game for my 11 year old.  "Brothers" comes close at many points, and definitely deserves high marks for creativity, stunning visuals and original story line.  The reviewers who complain about "Brothers" not being in English miss the point.  The characters speak a made-up language that's supposed to sound vaguely Slavic, as they inhabit a world that seems like a cross between Yugoslavia and Middle Earth.  (Most of the "words" are grunts and gestures..."da!" and so on and they don't hinder your progress anyway.)  Other reviewers make a good point about the short game play time, with only 2-3 hours of content. The most unexpected and disappointing part of the game for me was how bleak the ending is.  Not much violence, to be sure, but near then end there is indeed plenty of blood.  A fascinating adventure with a disturbing finale...

This is a great book on the ins and outs of sourcing and importing. I learned a lot while reading it and I will keep it handy as a business reference. I highly encourage any one who is thinking about importing to read this book before getting started.

Question: So far so good. Nice and roomy for all my stuff

So far so good. Nice and roomy for all my stuff. Shoulder strap was long enough which was nice. I like the look. Too soon to tell how durable.

This attachment is fantastic. I use it on a Craftsman 2.5 inch hose and it fits perfectly! The angle and design of this attachment is comfortable to use and it doesn't put any strain on my wrist when I used the shop vac before.

It also fits into the port of my Rigid Table Saw perfectly. The hose has a nice 45-degree transition and it doesn't seem to put a strain on the exhaust port for the table saw now.

If this ever wears down, I will be getting another one.

Question: Finally! A good Ghostbusters game!

I was about 7 years old when the Ghostbusters were at their peak.  Ghostbusters toys were every where, GB cartoons, GB cereal, video games, etc.  I played the old Ghostbusters game as a kid and man, it left so much to be desired.  A million years later, I heard that it was going to be released on the 360.  I caught a glimpse of the game play footage and my jaw dropped.  This is the Ghostbusters game that I always wanted to play! Ghostbusters fans, you won't be disappointed! You actually get to catch and trap ghosts.  You also get to use the PKE ghost meter.  The game has tight and neat graphics, too! My friends, who also grew up during the Ghostbusters era, were impressed with the game.  Overall, a fun game and can't get enough of that awesome proton gun sound blasting through my loud sound system!  No, the game is not perfect and it can't compete with games that are at the top.  However, it's a god send for us GB fans.  I hope they come out with a second one.

To say that this book has changed my life is such an understatement.  The truth revealed in it has allowed me to discover my heart and speak from it.  At first I had to look at the list of impaired emotions so that I could find out what I really was really feeling.  Once I learned to be honest about those feelings with myself, then to God, and then others, I experienced a freedom that was truly life changing. I now know how to live in fullness and not impairment. Thanks, Chip, for writing this book and revealing such truth.

Question: I love how real everything is

I loooooooove this book.  I love how real everything is.  The recipes ate healthy and tasty.  It was shipped quickly too, which is always a pleasant surprise.

I give this 4 stars because its Van Halen, and they were THE greatest rock band of their era, and one of the top ten greatest of all time. That being said, this is by far the worst album with DLR. Literally half of the album are covers, and with the exception of "Where Have All The Good Times Gone", which is excellent, they are crappy covers. All their originals are awesome as usual, and should be purchased individually. Eddie's playing and tone are top notch as well, but this album just bores me to death. Now I'm sure that a lot of people love the radio stuff, like "Dancin' In The Streets", and "Oh Pretty Woman", but I do not. I'm more into the hidden gems on the albums than the classic rock radio staples. There's a few of them on here like "Hang 'Em High", and "The Full Bug" which are classic VH boogie, but not enough to carry this album to "classic" status. It's easy to see why Eddie hates this album, after all he is an artist, and innovator, and true artists would rather bomb with their own music than have success with someone else's. I believe he may have actually even said that in some interview about this album. If you are new to Van Halen, skip this one, save it for before you start on the Sammy era, and pick up their 1978 debut, or "Fair Warning" instead, which are my personal favorites. If you are a guitar player, those two are required listening. Nuff said.

BTW don't even bother with the Cherone album. What were they thinking? That's just my opinion though and we all know what that's worth.

Question: Good pair of pants - fits well

This is a nice fitting pair of pants. It fits pretty well and snug and is a little bit low rise. There are really no issues with it. It works as a decent pair of pants and looks good. It washes well and so far I have had no problems with it. The pants also look just like the picture.

To begin with if you are expecting a Daz album this ain't it.  He is on 2 of the 18 songs, it's a west coast compilation album.  Of the 18 songs on here, you get some good/known rappers teame dup with not known average rappers, so most of the song have a verse or 2 that's good and 1 or two that aren't.  Of the 18, 1 is almost a classic, 9 are pretty good to real good, 2 suck and the other 6 are ok.  Production is mostly handled by people I never heard of but they do a very nice job on most of the album.  A nice album for west coast fans to have.

Question: very cool engineering.

I know it works because it's tough to open, very cool engineering.

This mic stand lets me be hands free and then I can sing AND play Wii Guitar Hero (World Tour) for double the fun.  The mic stand is adjustable in height for sitting down or standing up, plus it may be angled.  It's true about the 3 types of controller clips, not sold anywhere else, so I'd be open to trading for the Wii clips.

Question: These cushions are great.  I won't crochet without them.

I strongly recommend these cushions for every crochet hook you have.  I can't believe I used to crochet without them. Since I hold my hook in the pencil position I used to get a callus on the side of my middle finger from crocheting too long.  With the cushion I no longer get the callous.

These cushions come in two different sizes.  I find the cushions for the smaller hooks difficult to get on, even when using liquid dish washing soap as recommended.

Question: Beware, Worst product I've Ever bought on Amazon!

Worst product I have ever purchased through Amazon. Purchased this for my son to just offer a little bit more protection under the football shoulder pads. After a couple of days the hexagonal pieces are coming unglued. Yes, the hexagonal padding  consist multiple individual pieces. They appear to be individually glued and then sewn in. Unlike other brands, this padding is not one solid piece You end up with sewn in pocket of  lumpy shipping popcorn. What a terrible design. So hard to believe this has an overall rating of 4.5 stars. Are these legit reviews?
Ended up going with an EvoShield product.

I've been using the AV500 adapters for a couple years now. The speed is not as promised and it does drop connections often. This is the main reason for the voluntary recall on this item by TP-LINK. Overall I would say they are still a good option. I wanted to take part in the recall and upgrade to the AV600 to get closer to the promised speeds. My main issue is with the company myself. For the recall you can either call, e-mail, or fill out the request form online. I've filled the online form out twice, e-mailed three times, and called and left angry messages for the lack of response twice by phone. I have heard nothing. This is over a period of three weeks. Customer service at TP-LINK is awful and I think everyone should be warned. For the recall, I think a class action lawsuit needs to be started because their voluntary recall solution is not a genuine solution on TP-LINK's part.

1/17/17
After having to open BBB and California case files against TP-Link, the company responded and settled the matter. I hope they will provide better customer service to their customers in the future.

Question: Chalkboard wall sheets

A bit smaller than I thought, but they do act like chalkboard when stuck to a wall. They clean up rather easily. Great for family notes.

This is by far the brightest LED assembly I've ever seen!
This is a solid LED light bar!
So bright and so white, it's just amazing.
Make a note to seller Varsity174 to please don't forget to send wiring harness/relay assembly when you order.
They are a great seller, prompt shipping, great deal and promptly answered emails and followed up with me multiple times on if I received everything and was truly concerned about great customer service!  Way to go guys!  5* from me on the seller.
5* + on the product!
This is a solid, well made light bar even if it is from China, which most probably are now days, it is very, very bright and pure white!
It comes with mounting brackets, fully adjustable and has notches in the angle adjustment side bolts as to now work lose and be out of alignment.  I am very happy with this and so glad the people I saw in parking lots I spoke to and ask them about the Tuff Stuff brand and how they liked theirs.
I ended up going to the local hardware store and buying a perforated steel strap which I painted black to match the LED light bar so I could use my current bolts under the bumper and not have to drill new holes into the bumper.  I cut the strap/mount even with the supplied brackets so it all looks like it was made together.
I could not be more thrilled about finally getting this project complete and what a great product for a great price from Varsity174.

5** ALL the way!
EXCELLENT customer service, great product, great price!

Question: As a bored, immature early-twenties male

This book contains the corniest plot twist I have ever read. That being said, I could not put it down. As a bored, immature early-twenties male, this book was the perfect way to spend a weekend with my family.

This product definitely performs as advertised - having put in can lights in one room without and another room with this product, the mess was massively reduced in the second room.  One star removed for the quick decline in clarity of the plastic.  This started out transparent, but within two holes was significantly cloudy.  We may have made it worse by attempting to clean with windex - I would not recommend.  Try dish soap and water and dry thoroughly.

Question: The holy grail of joinery

i had to buy this from Amazon since in Kreg's website they do not ship the K5 inside the case.
I really like this jig, it comes in a nice case to keep everything together, the top is kinda fragile, but it simplifies the time and the way plan for your projects.
It comes with the basic tools and few screws, so its important that you also order plenty of screws for your projects.

I don't remember how I came to read this book, but I'm so glad I did, not only for the story of the Ten Boom's faith and courage in the face of Evil incarnate, but also for the story of Corrie and her family and their daily walk with the Lord even before the war, which made them strong in the Lord when they had to hold the line.
For years, I've remembered Corrie's Aunt's prayer "I thank You, Lord, that You have done all -- all on the cross, and that all we need in life or in death is to be sure of this" when I have been tempted to despair about my life.  I owe Corrie and her family a lot -- I can't wait to tell them so!

Question: NOT FOR YOUNG KIDS There is a big design flaw ...

NOT FOR YOUNG KIDS

There is a big design flaw in that its very hard to close. At first i thought maybe some of the other reviewers were just knit picking.  But Im also finding it rather difficult to close the box.  My daughter who is 8 years old has to put her weight on it just so you can do the latch. Its really a hard box to close. I understand they need to make it seal but shouldnt be this difficult. Maybe as the box wears down it becomes easier.

The weight will also surprise you and the storage portions are small.  Intended for kids friends but certainly not designed for them.  I paid over 80 USD for this box including international shipping as my daughter saw it on youtube and really wanted it.

I had my previous Vaultz briefcase for 7-years.  The handle broke off but the case was still good.  I decided to buy another one and the one the I purchased nothing short of a "watered-down" version of what I had.  It was lighter, the locks were poorly made and the case started falling apart within days.

This is the ticket. Swimming for endless laps... with music! It's a whole new concept. So far so great (I have only had it for a few weeks). It is a game changer. Sound is great. I don't mind laps anymore, in fact they are a pleasure.
If you dread swimming laps this might be a game changer for you.

David Cordingly has written an interesting book on piracy that consists of well researched stories of how pirates really acted, and then compares those stories to the mainstream culture view of piracy. The anecdotes are entertaining, and are well written, so that the book flows along nicely. For people who are looking for a history book, the style of Cordingly's writing is a bit informal and some of his information on pirates doesn't get very in depth (although his extensive list of sources shows that he could be in depth, and gives the reader a chance to research more for his/herself if he/she so desires), but for someone who is looking for information about pirates and a good read, this book is excellent. I highly recommend it.

Question: but it has proven quite useful! It actually moves quite a bit of air ...

UPDATE 8/2017: After about a year of on and off use, this thing just completely died.  I took it apart to make sure there wasn't something tied up around the blades/motor and it was clean.  It would kind of go up and down then just stop.  Also, the thing ALWAYS rattles a little.  I have a second one that I purchased for someone else and it also rattles constantly.

I was a little weary of purchasing such a cheap fan, but it has proven quite useful!  It actually moves quite a bit of air (it is about 2.5 feet from my face) and really helps when the office is just a little too warm.  I have it plugged into the built in USB hub on a cheap monitor and that provides enough power to run it.  Admittedly, the whole fan feels like I could snap it in two with one hand if I wanted to, but I don't intend to do that.

Got these for my four year old to use to help with cooking. I tested them out while adjusting the rack in my hot convection oven, and they worked very well!

Question: Don't like the taste.  However, Kudos for their great customer service.

There is definitely a strange slightly bitter after taste, which is a big disappoint after reading all the reviews here.  Perhaps I got a bad batch.  I have also updated this review due to their great customer service and their satisfaction guarantee policy.  I was given a full refund, which is very much appreciated.

I've read this book at least three times and I can't quite find out if Elena's baby is Tony or Rafael's? Can someone please clarify that for me because it's driving me insane!!!

Question: Great idea just not for me

The product itself works as advertised. I just don't use it much it is just easier for me to plug my phone right into the cable. If the charger had allowed to the phone to sit up like the new samsung chargers I would have gotten more use out of it.

Was not the right cable.  Needed a cable converter I could use to connect my Playstation 2 game console to my Smart HDMI TV.  So that I can watch DVDs on Smart tv using my PS2.

Question: Rising From The Darkness Into The Light

I voluntarily read an advanced read copy of this book. This book is about BDSM and takes place mostly in a BDSM Club. Quinton is an experienced Dom and one of his favorite things to do to a sub is take away some of her senses so she has to rely just on how something feels. She may be blindfolded so she cannot see what is being done to her, or she may  have headphones on so she cannot hear anything being done to her either. Two very strong senses taken away leave you relying on taste, and feel. Cassia is a geologist and a submissive, she was the only survivor of a cave in, and was forced to remain in total darkness by herself for 3 days, besides being injured too. She was left with a terrifying fear of the dark and intense panic attacks and suffering from PTSD. She can't even do her job right now because she can't be underground. She really wants to get over her fear of being afraid of the dark, so she is back at the club to see if scening with a Dom can help her overcome her fear of the dark. She does not follow the most important rule for a submissive though, she is not honest with the Dom she is scening with about her fear of the dark. When the room is plunged into darkness she sufferes a devistating panic attack and the dungeon monators are called. One of them is Quinton., as he rescues her and talks softly and quietly to her she comes down from the panic attack, and tells him why and what had happened to her. Being dishonest with the other Dom was a big no no for a sub because BDSM is based on  honesty and respect, so he was not happy with her. I know this is just a story but it really shows these Doms in a caring light and shows how a relationship can be when a Dom cares for his sub and makes sure she is taken care of. That doesn't mean he will not push her bounderies a bit, he is a Dom after all, but he does respect her safe word when she says it and everything stops.
This author really paints a picture for the reader with words detailing hoe the fear that Cassia feels in the dark, and then lets you feel the incredable relief that she feels when she realizes she is safe because her Dom won't let anything happen to her. The pictures that this reated in my mind were scary and then very calm and serene once she starts to trust Quinton. Mingled into the scenes was the hot hot hot sex that a sub  experiences when she lets go and fully trusts her Dom. This is an awesome love story about overcoming fears and learning to cope enough to let yourself fall in love, and about the Dom who loved her enough to give her the power to release her fears and let herself soar. I read and reviewed this book as a member of the Mommy's Naughty Playground Review Team.

Bought for my 2 year old granddaughter and she loves them. We play with them everyday!  The set came with the base for a "car" with 4 wheels attached. Someday, hopefully she will let me play with it. That's how much she loves it.

Question: The best thing to have ever happened to a stack of paper

I keep this book next to my couch and I read it completely out of order, just a little every day, which I think is the best way to read it.  It is the most moving and beautifully written account of humanity that I have ever encountered.  It winds through stories and narratives and does so with a deep casualness that makes the stories even more moving.  It reads the way that I imagine God sees the world, through a great distance and yet without any loss of clarity.  The stories move back and forth between centuries and characters, often nameless, experiencing powerful tragedies and small blessings and ultimately leaving the reader with a sense of beauty and hope.

This is my review. You think this is a good review. You think this is a good rating. You do.

Question: Perfect shoes for kids who play hard

We used to buy cheap shoes and my son used to tear through them in about 2 weeks.  Since we switched to the Keens we have had no more problems.  Very comfy, sturdy, flexible, and they last a very long time.  The first pair I bought was several months ago, and my son is still wearing them and they are still looking good.  I had an issue where sand was getting trapped between the exterior mesh and the interior liner, so I put two holes in the liner and the problem went away.  My son's playground at school is a giant sand box.  It's Keen for us from now on.

This hard disk drive is defective, when I plugged to the computer it never mounts and it have a loud "clicking" sound. Very dissapointed on this purchase. I run the test from hitachi and the results is an error! A really wasted of 200 bucks...

Question: I cannot believe it. It is almost as though ...

I cannot believe it.  It is almost as though someone with a speech impediment dictated into a transcriber and then the book was published without editing. Just about every page had wrong spellings as well as new paragraphs in the middle of sentences.  I did read it in its entirety because I was looking for the actual history and I am trusting that was factual.

Works great. You tie the knot in different places to make it fit your kid. We have one for our 3 month old that he wears daily. His older brother that is now 19 months has his own. We got it when he was a newborn too and he still wears it from time to time as well.

Plus its organic cotton. Look into how many chemicals we use on growing conventional cotton. Overall its much more then we do on other crops!

Question: Compelling, riveting, fascinating!

A fantastic book to give one an overview of Buddhism...from the history to fairly detailed explanations of its various "branches" such as Theravada, Mahayana, Tibetan, Vispassana, etc.  One could almost use it as a "shoppers guide to Buddhism".
It also gives a "who's who" in contemporary American Buddhism, such as Surya Das, Kornfield, Epstein, Goleman, Salzberg, etc.
I couldn't stop reading it.  It really drew me in.  Fascinating reading.
Great for someone like myself who is very interested in Buddhism, and has had some experience with the different traditions, but needs some help in sorting out the different paths and which is the right one for you.  Appears to be written with the westerner in mind, or anyone new to Buddhism.
I really like it since it gives a wholly unbiased introduction to the various types of Buddhism, opposed to most works on Buddhism which are written from the perspective that their path is the best.
I also recommend "Big Bang, The Buddha, and the Baby Boom" - Wes Nisker and "Why Buddhism" - Vicki MacKenzie, and "Buddhism Without Beliefs" - Steven Batchelor.

Great for travel!!!!!! Love this!!!!! Very easy to fold up. Light weight. Looks easy to clean! It's great!!! Thank you kidco !!

Question: Not as good as the first

This is the second book of what is to be a third part series. I loved the first book but didn't like where she was taking it. The beginning was too slow, I almost stopped reading. Then when I found out there is a sequel coming I gave up and didn't bother finishing. I won't be reading the third one.

I've always wanted a pair of there. They work as advertised.

Question: Unusually clear treatment of fundamentals-great base for finite elements

The stress matrix is covered in the first few pages of the text. Normal stresses comprise the diagonal and shear stresses the off diagonal elements. The matrix is shown to be symmetric by summing torques about a small rectangular parallelepiped in equilibrium in the material-the shear stresses cancel in pairs proving the symmetry. (Care and note should be taken of the initial position and directions of these stress vectors as they form a reference base just as you might define in strength of materials.) Similar arguments are used to derive the differential equations of equilibrium-pretty much elementary engineering statics. The most difficult part is also in the first few pages where strain is defined and constructed as a differential(Really!). Hooke's Law of course relates stress to strain and enters our system of equations as the compatibility equations. A new function is introduced, the stress function, an auxiliary function which arises as we explore the form of these equations and all quantities we seek can be written in terms of various combinations of derivatives of this. This is like in electromagnetism where Maxwell's Equations can be written in terms of vector and scalar potentials, solved and the fields arise as combinations of derivatives of these potentials. As other reviewers have commented the book is chock full of examples which can help if the example at least has some similarities to your problem. In chapter 8 where general theorems are derived, in the section on Castigliano's Theorem, roughly stated, is found that the stress field(the solution) arises so as to make the total stress energy a minimum-a variational principle! In the next section the Rayleigh-Ritz method is applied using this principle-the direct ancestor of the finite element method. Other than this F.E.M. is not used. In chapter 13 you'll find an excellent presentation of thermal stress which is sort of hard to ferret out of the literature. In chapter 14 you have a presentation of wave propagation in elastic solids. Unlike Landau and Lifschitz this text assumes minimal math preparation as found in undergraduate calculus for engineers if that much not what could be termed math maturity. Lot of hand holding here rather than elegance for mathematical physicists.

When I checked the size chart it provided online, it said that medium is a size 10/12 but when I received the item at home. It said medium 5/6. This was alittle small for my 6 yr old son to wear. But because it's his favorite color, he won't take it off. It's fits home for now but I'll have to buy a size Large for him to last him in 1st grade.

Question: Makes Difficult Concepts Easy

I have used this book for years now. It explains, step-by-step, what most social science professors consider "too complicated" to teach in any undergraduate or graduate course. Using very simple cases to explain difficult concepts demystifies them completely. Graphs and simulations help explain how techniques are well-suited or ill-suited for different research challenges. I have completed every study question in the book, and although my printing of the book has a few typos, I found that the overall experience deepened my understanding of the concepts taught.

I have found the chapter explaining factor analysis to be one of the most useful chapters in any math textbook. The explanation how sampling theory, probabilities, and Pascal's triangle are related helped me teach sampling theory very simply. The explanation of Type I and Type III sums of squares is also illuminating. Matrix algebra, which always seemed to difficult for me to learn, was finally learned as I read the chapters in this book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand statistics thoroughly. For even the most experienced statistician, they might learn a new technique, like the rarely used canonical correlation.

It doesn't have YKK  hardware as listed in a previous review.

Question: Works great, for a couple days, then fails to open properly.

Worked great for about 3 drives. It got progressively worse each time. It will now not open up until the engine is already hot which makes it incredibly hard to get the engine back to normal operating temperature. I'm ordering a 160* stat, after 2 other brands failed as well. I mean COME ON. It's a thermostat. How hard is it to build a decent one????

The ending was disappointing. The book was too long.  I only read it because it was a Pulitzer Prize Winner.

Question: Wait to read if you don't want to wait for the next in the series.

I enjoyed it for the most part ... but again another series that I won't finish as I won't remember to look for it later. The story line is good and I enjoyed the characters for the most part. I just had a list of books to come from all these series and basically give up on that. By the time they come out with the next I have to re-read or just forget the series all together. I read a lot of books so..

I kind of liked this movie.  It wasn't as good as it could have been, but it wasn't bad, either.  Kind of different watching one of our greatest Presidents going around swinging an axe fighting vampires...WOW!  Who knew, that a movie could actually make Abe Lincoln kind of sexy.  This was great watching him learn how to swing his axe because he wasn't much of a gunfighter, but he sure knew how to split logs.  The action sequences were great, I loved watching him swinging his way through that railroad car and through the White House, kicking some serious vampire butt, it makes me so glad that he became our President because now the truth can be told. Abe Lincoln saved the World from being taking over by an army of Vampires!  Loved it!

I've created content for web sites for more than 10 years using various programs.  I learned how to do it the hard way...trial and error.

Horrible! I do NOT recommend these antennas.

These must have been very old stock from the seller. They plastic bag the antennas came in are extremely yellowed from age. And the stick-on labels on the back with the part number are falling off and all but totally faded. I can't read anything on the label.

The screw terminal on the base of the antenna is painted black. WHY?!  To get any connection, you gotta use some abrasive pad to remove the paint - otherwise it's like not having an antenna at all.

Also, these do NOT fit all UV-5R radios. The SMA connector is way too tight on them. They seem to fit okay on my brother's BF888S, but that doesn't do me any good.

Construction is as poor as can be expected. A simple little coil of wire with an SMA connector at the bottom.

Unfortunately, at this price, it's not worth my time to try and return.  These were definitely a waste of my money.

Question: Such an easy to understand read about some pretty complex topics

Such an easy to understand read about some pretty complex topics.  I enjoyed Debbie's personalized approach and her honesty.  I read the book in 2 days and was sad when it was over.  She really knows how to explain concepts in such a way that anyone can understand...and truly learn from her wonderful teachings and research.  She is a true inspiration!

Perfect for recordings - I use it at church. Since I wanted to avoid using a cable from the soundboard to tie into the camera for a better audio feed - this works quite good...no audio cable running across the floor. Makes the video camera mobile and efficient. The vain settings allows for even better pickup, and the battery mileage is great! I'd give it a 5-rating if there was a universal housing to allow it to connect to any camera...for now I'm using velco straps.

Question: Refurbished good as new

I recently bought a refurbished Cyan/Magenta printhead for my HP Officejet Pro L7680.  It has worked as expected and I am very pleased with my purchase.

The Fulltone OCD is infact a very very very versatile pedal. It gives from a simple clean boost to a creamy smooth overdrive, to a heavily saturated yet articulate overdrive. I have a solid state amp (i know i know i need a tube amp, I'm trying) and setting it on a very low gain and setting the OCD on a very low gain makes a sweet overdrive tone to die for. Dialing in your perfect tone is not a hard task at all! These three knobs will do everything for you. The HP and LP is very versatile too. I stick with LP because mine gets very fizzy at HP, I've also never tried the 18 volt capability which supposively eliminates that fizziness. Don't think twice, buy this pedal.

Question: Don't waste your time!

Very pretty but doesn't light up like the description makes you think. Can barely tell that it even lights up. Not happy will be returning.

I have to say...this is an extra little treat I wasn't expecting, but am so thrilled I got it. It has been a while since I have read The Exception, so getting a catch up on Cane and Jada was very exciting. Like both her other books, this one is written just as amazing. It is so easy to fall in love with these characters it's crazy. Jada and Kari are the best sister pair I have come across in a series before. They balance each other out amazingly and a are what each other need. Cane and Max's friendship, or brotherhood, it a friendship and bond that is hard to find these days. Their loyalty to each other and their love for one another, even though they are complete opposites is amazing to see play out. They have each others backs no matter what. I just loved everything about this book, just like I love The Exception and The Perception.

Now with all the good things said, I have to say, I was so confused. Only because I have read both book one and which is now book 3 already. So having this little in between thrown in, through me for a loop. Even after reading it, I'm still a tad on the not understanding side. I will definitely need to read them all again. :)

But GREAT story, AMAZING author, AWESOME connection! <3

Question: It's a great camera for the money and the facebook upload function ...

I haven't left a review in ages but I felt compelled to give the people of Amazon notice about his camera. This is the camera that came up at the top of a search result for "Dropbox Camera". I wanted a camera that could hook directly to my dropbox thru wifi and upload pictures directly. That's what this camera advertised so that's why I bought it. Well, after getting the camera and trying to log into the dropbox with it it simply does not work. I called samsung for help and they said it was dropbox's problem. I contacted dropbox but haven't heard back from them yet. So I decided to leave a review on here to help anyone whos potentially in the same boat as me. It's a great camera for the money and the facebook upload function works just fine so far but you should know that it does not work with dropbox.

Surprisingly amazing. I put this on some inserts for some gloves and I can hold the water in my hand without it going into the glove. It's crazy how well this stuff works and it brings new life into old waterproofed pants,jackets,shoes, anything now my buddy uses it for everything!

Beautiful. I would have given a 5 star. The description said it is made in USA but the box said made in China. I paid an extra $100 ( as compared to the other color) thinking it is makes in USA. I felt lied to.

I picked this up for a Playmat whose shortest dimension was 18". It was EXTREMELY hard to get the mat rolled up tight enough to fit inside. An extra centimeter of width would have made all the difference. Additionally the plastic was extremely cheap as were the end caps. Problem is there aren't any other tubes for 18" playmats so buy with caution. Next time I am going to buy from Blick (which would be over-sized) or get packing tubes.

I originally saw Ryan Cleckner as the narrator of some videos by the National Shooting Sports Foundation about shooting a rifle with a scope. I was impressed with his teaching style and his content in the videos and found him exceptional. Then I found out about this book by Cleckner that was published in January 2016. A serendipity for me!  He writes as clearly as he speaks. This is an outstanding book. I typically do not do book reviews but I've done so here as good material is worth sharing!

Question: Interesting Insight into Croatian War

This war was known about, but not understood by most Americans.  The author gives enough description of the experiences and struggle of this girl to give rise to the desire to learn more about the conflict.  The characters were developed  nicely and the emotions and inner struggle of the girl rang true.

I have to say that Becky did not disappoint with True to to You! She has once again created characters that are deep and knowable. Nora is bookish and into history, something I can really relate to. I would love to live in the library and little historical town she created. I laughed, and cried, and was pleasantly surprised by where the story takes you. The relationship between Nora and her sisters, Willow and Brooke, leaves you excited for the other books in the series to come out so you can get to know them better too!

Question: Sometimes I have to take the lid off and let it cool a little

My coffee stays hot for hours. Sometimes I have to take the lid off and let it cool a little. Love it

A brilliantly-written book! Seldom has anyone had the courage and the perseverance to do the research on this event in history and then to write it with clarity and honesty. Hibbert has written a highly readable book that makes for a very easy read in spite of its 400+ pages.
Hibbert drew from East India Company documents, British government documents, writings of people who were present during the Uprising of 1957 (I refuse to call it a "Mutiny") as well as from letters of British people living in India, to their families in Britain. He presented all these writings in a nicely-flowing style that almost made this reader feel as if he were experiencing the unfolding history.

Like most writers, Hibbert wrote about the cruelties suffered by the British soldiers, company administrators and civilians during the Uprising, but I was not prepared for the detailed, vengeful  violence committed by the British after they suppressed the disorganized Uprising. I was unprepared for the mass slaughters committed by the British, the organized destruction and the very organized looting of the Indian Empire, over the nearly two-year period following restoration of British control over India. I was astonished to learn that the British razed and burnt entire villages and killed every man, woman and child, if they so much as suspected that the people in the village were involved in any way, in the Uprising...it made me think of what the US is doing in the Mid East, Afghanistan and Pakistan, but that is another story! Not satisfied with this slaughter where many were drawn and quartered or trampled to death by elephants or blow up by being tied to the mouths of canon, the British looted every loot-worthy bauble they could lay their hands on...every British person was involved in this rapacious looting, they ever issued licenses to "agents" who would go and see if they could extract more treasure from merchants and other prospective targets.

I was transfixed.

Towards the end, I did wonder how the Indians felt after the failure of their Uprising and how they endured the British revenge but then it occurred to me that with such ferocious, extra-judicial reprisals, being in possession of letters or other writings detailing the Uprising or, the treatment of the British, could mean a death sentence to the natives; I doubt if there will be similar detailed writing possible for the "other side".

This book is a keeper, one of the very best writings about the Uprising I have ever seen.

Question: Yet another 'must read'...

Congratulations to Ms. Klassen for another most enjoyable read and an intriguing story line. Looking forward to many more books by her.

I recently received a bit of a shock when going through my Amazon purchase history I realized that I bought these headphones almost 3 years ago. 3 years and they still function just as well as when I first got them. I find that I have to press them pretty firmly into my ears - which can be a bit uncomfortable at first, though it becomes unnoticeable - to get the best sound/full noise-cancelling effect, but it is worth it as the quality is quite amazing. The volume level is not overwhelming, and in fact can be lacking at certain times, but generally it has not been a problem; I use these daily on very loud public transportation and never struggle to hear. Most importantly for me, the bass production is excellent. Overall, these headphones provide rich sound quality, sufficient noise-cancelling, and, at least in my case, tremendous durability.

Question: I kept it but it isn't my favorite.

My last one got stolen so I bought another. This one is much thinner. The collar does not stay up and the cut is baggier. I kept it but it isn't my favorite.

This bag was so much easier than a box, and no tape needed, as in years past. You don't have to fold the limbs up as much. I didn't have to take apart the middle and top section of my tree. It fit my 7 1/2" tree very easily in two sections. It seems nice and tough, and no tears were created in transporting it to my garage. I wrapped a washcloth around the bottom of the tree, since my plugs are missing, and wrapped it with a rubber-band. I don't think it is at risk of poking through the tough bag, and it looks like it will hold up for years to come. The handles were touch enough for transporting.

It set up against my wall the long way up and down quite nicely, with no problems. The zipper zips both ways which is a nice little feature for slipping things into the bag. I had no problem fitting the stand into the bag.

Question: For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

For Darkness Shows the Stars is a re-telling of Persuasion by Jane Austen in this futuristic world that actually feels like it's in the past for the majority of the book. This book has an awesome cover that drew me in and when I read Jane Austen in the summary, I had to get this book in my hand. When my library got it, I requested it, got and it read it and I was...disappointed.

Characters are SO IMPORTANT for me in any book. I really want to love them and connect with them and all that jazz. Elliot? I wanted to slap this girl hard across the face. First, she's SO INSECURE. To me, it seemed like anything that went wrong made her second guess EVERYTHING during For Darkness Shows the Stars. When Elliot learns something shocking about her mother, she completely goes on a bender and comes to these ridiculous conclusions. I mean, really girl? She immediately lost faith in herself and her mother. Just, no. Secondly, she seemed so desperate to me! She seemed like the kind of girl who was dying without the boy. Every time Kai was a jerk to her, she second-guessed herself and her worth and just...gah.

I will give her props for keeping up her family farm though. I mean, for a girl her age, Elliot has done a lot. I can understand that you might second guess your self during these times but honesty, don't you need to be strong to get through? I love protagonists like Elliot: they're strong, intelligent and brave. But then comes the love interest and everything gets thrown into the flames.

The romance between Kai and Elliot is very important to the plot. Except, I wouldn't call it a romance. First of all, WHERE WAS ALL THE AFFECTION?! Basically it was this: Elliot and Kai meet; Kai is a jerk to Elliot; Elliot gets in trouble, Kai just happens to be there; rinse and repeat. I really, really wanted to love this romance. It was just a lot of miscommunication, childish grudges and foolish behavior and Kai was not at all lovable. Captain Wentworth (I mean, it IS a re-telling so I can't not talk about him!) was much more lovable and much less of a jerk. Even when I read the notes, there seemed to be no emotions. It would be that Elliot said something that made Kai get angry and then Elliot would apologize and then vise versa.

I'm very familiar with Persuasion so I knew much of the plot For Darkness Shows the Stars yet I was excited for the dystopian part of it. But man, it was boring. Diana Peterfreund spent a lot of time with setting up the world but it was a lot of info dumping in my opinion. In a futuristic world, I had expected to be introduced to the characters and as the story progressed, more information would be provided. Instead, it was lots of info, slow plot movement, info, slow plot movement...you get the picture. I just didn't get into is what I think the problem is. Did it all sound fantastic which I read it? Yeah, it did. I just...wasn't invested.

The most redeeming quality was the writing. Diana Peterfreund has an amazing way of putting words together and it was done well enough for me to finish this book. I will admit (again), For Darkness Shows the Stars actually had more of a periodical feel to it than futuristic, you know? I for one don't mind that but I wasn't expecting it. I really appreciated that aspect though. If anything, For Darkness Shows the Stars paid homage to Jane Austen writing style...but much more 21st century!

Overall, I found myself not enjoying For Darkness Shows the Stars as much as I had hoped. It was rather boring and I didn't like Elliot and even the romance was lacking. But if anything, the writing was AMAZING! Obviously, with a 4.1 overall rating on GoodReads, my opinions are in the minority so I think people should give this book a try!

Tried them once in 10 degree weather - battery died in one glove far from my car, fingers froze.  Sent the gloves back.  Thankfully the company was very good about refunding my purchase. They are not very warm without the battery!

Question: Great knife for the price! Lightweight, sharp, and durable so far!

Great knife, but it needs wrist work to get a fast open, its very stiff and hasn't loosened up yet. hopefully in time it will get smoother and faster, but overall I like it very much, sharp, sturdy, very comfortable in the hand, lightweight. Great knife and a great price!

this was beautiful book full of information about our military hero s and the complex relationships between friends and family easy to identify with l cried

Question: A fantastic and utterly hilarious comic!

Least I Could Do (or LICD as it's known on the web) is one of those comics that you enjoy reading everyday, because it always has new material and is always funny.  There's material that I've been able to relate to from my own life, and some that makes me wish I had the charisma of Rayne, and some that makes me glad I'm not his friend Mick.

It's a well done comic, and every now and then there's a nugget of truth in it that will make you glad you've read that far along.  When this book first came out I bought not one, but two, so I could keep one in its original package as a collectable, since I know this will be worth something one day.

This thing is a steal at any price, at well over a hundred pages of color prints, comments from the artist and writer, it's simply fantastic.

These displays are PERFECT for setting up our Amiibo collection, and they fit nicely into the Ikea glass cabinets we purchased for this purpose.  These displays would also make a great spice rack for the kitchen to make sure that you see exactly what you have in your cabinet or for any other small items you need to see.  They are acrylic, but they look very nice and I would not be ashamed to display something as elegant as crystal figures on them in a curio cabinet.

Be mindful when you are assembling the legs to the main piece, there is a screw that passes through the top tier and into the leg, and if you tighten it too much you will risk cracking the acrylic.  They are not fragile as eggs, but you still have to keep in mind cracking is a possibility.  I would defiantly use hand tools for assembly, using a drill would be too much torque and the screw itself is not very long.

Question: doesn't work for my iphone 4s

i bought this so i can activate and use my iphone 4s i bought off a friend that kept the sim for his new iphone i put it in and it says it is not a valid sim so i'm screwed outta my money apparently so why say its for iphone 4s if it doesn't work.

Installation could not have been easier.  All features are as stated.  I was dissapointed with the I.R camera performance.

I purchased it for trying to catch someone sneaking into my home.  I thought the Motion Sensor settings would do the trick.  They do capture most motion relitively well.  I did have to play around with the sensitivity a few times to eliminate false motion.

The problem that almost renders this system useless for me is it's unfriendly interface when attempting to review the  motion triggered events.  It takes 4 to 5 steps to review each event.  It freezes about 50% of the time requiring another 5 steps.  On average it takes about 10 minutes to reveiw a few events because of it's setup.

I was also disapointed with the customer care I received.  The unit randomely advances 12 hours maybe every week or two.  When I contacted customer service they told me to send it back so they could bench test it.  They would not send me a replacement.  This unit is less then 30 days old!  I couldn't return the whole unit because all the wires were fished through my walls etc.

Overall I'm just so-so on the unit.

Question: Great case to extend your phone's battery life.

Update: after two days the case will no longer charge the phone before the case.  It is random when it switches; could be 2% later or 52% later.  Also,  when the case is plugged in to the phone, it charges extremely slow.  I woke up yesterday after having the phone charge a little over 8 hours.  The phone's battery was almost dead (which I'm lucky it didn't die because I would have been late for work) and the case was only above 50% according to the LEDs. The case charges fine without a phone in it.  So now I'm having to remove the phone and charge both devices separately. I'm wondering how long it will take for the top piece of the case to wear out.

The UNU DX GS6 battery case is very well made and adds some nice heft to your device.  My Galaxy S6 is my work phone and gets used heavily.  My battery sometimes won't make it through my work day.  This case will essentially double the life of your phone's battery providing charging on the go.  The case has a nice matte rubber finish to it that looks great, but is somewhat slick.  Keep in mind, this case will add quite a bit of thickness to your phone; about the same as an Otterbox Defender.  One of the main reasons I bought this case over others, besides good reviews of UNU battery cases in general, is that the case will still retain the phone's quick charging capability.  However, while charging your phone from the case, the phone will charge at the traditional 2.1 amps.  In the packaging is the case and a 3.5mm headphone extension.  Since the case has to plug into the bottom of your phone, you'll notice the case has a "chin" where the speaker grills are.  Due to this extra "chin", the phone's headphone port is buried in the case requiring the provided extension cable.  The case still allows your phone to sync with your computer and in terms of priority, the case's battery will start charging after your phone's battery is full.

What a fantastic thermometer. I did not realize that such infrared items even existed let alone that they are available for home use. What a great deal.

Question: but it works great and looks great

Appears bigger online than what it is, but it works great and looks great.

Used several times prior to being damaged.  Just about useless as a wheelbarrow due to the configuration of the handles and tow bar (even when folded).  Works OK being towed by ATV.  The relatively flimsy plastic tray ripped during a storm.  I tried to order a replacement tray, but for the $40 part, agrifab wanted $109 shipping (note that this entire cart sells for $150 with free shipping on amazon).

Knowing what I know now, I would stay away from this brand.

Bottom line:  Works ok for extremely light duty towing, not useful as a wheelbarrow.  Flimsy construction, poor customer service, inability to order replacement parts without excessive shipping cost.

Question: it works great and serves its purpose in the pharmacy

As a pharmacist, it works great and serves its purpose in the pharmacy.  Great quality

Bought the unit to replace the one we purchased for our grandchildren. It lasted just over a year before not charging. Of course it was outside the one year warranty. The new one had the same issues right out of the box. You charge it overnight, the kids go to use it and it says low charge ask to have someone plug it in. After sending them proof of recent purchase they agreed to replace it. Google re-charging Leapreader pen issues, this is not an isolated issue! When they work they are great, the kids love them - very frustrating.

Question: so this is a GREAT deal IF weather is mild to sunny

I bought mine at Avenue for $25 on an Avenue sale, so this is a GREAT deal at $15 or less(since it has a hood and front pockets) IF YOU LIKE THE STYLE, BUT be aware there is NO LINING nor any extra padding beneath the jacket.  It's just one thin fabric all over.  I was looking for a light-weight jacket since San Francisco weather is mainly sunny so I didn't want to end up carrying a heavy jacket all over the place, so I wanted a lightweight jacket, BUT I wanted a jacket that was warm enough if I was outside in the night time when it turns really cold, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to use it in the night time, only the day time.  Basically if it's a cold day or it's the night time, this jacket will NOT keep you warm.  It's better used on a mild to warm to sunny day with no to little rain/wind.

Color nook works pretty good.  I knew that it wasn't the original Android but I'm not happy about that it limits a lot of the android functions.  It's ok for reading books and stuff but there are so many more tablets out there that are offered at cheaper price with good performance android tablets now days.  I'm planning on returning the Nook color and get idolpad plus.  I just read so many reviews on this new 7" tablet just over $100 with real android 4.0.

Question: Check the shoes size on the shoes not the box, might be disappointed.

We ordered a pair of shoes. When the box arrived the box said the size we ordered.however when my husband put them on it was THE WRONG SIZE.  What the.... As many shoes as I have purchased online (more than a few) never has this happened.

I havae read many of Perry's "Monk" novels and like him so was unsure
how I would like Insp. Pitt and wife, Charlotte. I love both
Hester Monk and Charlotte Pitt. They are really alot like. In this
novel, Pitt is investigating a 3 year old mystery. Seems a member
of the foreign office wants to marry a young, beautiful widow whose
husband was murdered 3 years ago. The foreign office wants to make
sure no hint of scandal is tied to the widow. Her reputation has to
be spotless. Charlotte,s sister Emily moves into the house of the
young widow as a maid to try to find the murderer. It is interesting
how Emily manages to fool the family into thinking she is a maid
as Emily ordinarily is a very wealthy widow.  I think Perry does tend
to go into too many details as times-too many thoughts of the
characters when you want to say, "let,s get on with the story".
As with other Perry novels, there are some shockers to deal with.
No matter any faults in her tales, I still cant put them down.

Question: Good viiew of life in Alaska

We had the good fortune of trying the Hawiian French Toast at Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse city this spring. We asked our waitress about the recipe and she asked the Chef and he actually told her how it was made. Hawiian Sweet Bread, dipped in beaten egg, vanilla and heavy cream, pressed into a dish of Kellogg Corn Flakes then dipped in the deep fry for 10 seconds, then finished on the grill in butter. Served with a vanilla maple syrup. We made it at home but without the deep fry step, we just did it on a flat grill in butter, and we used Kellogg Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes. WOW...not a low cal breakfast but a real treat once in a while on a cold Michigan winter morning.

Question: Interesting although somewhat fanciful projection of the death of earth ...

Interesting although somewhat fanciful projection of the death of earth and attempts to save mankind by travel to another solar system.

Never buy a Sigma lens. In India(like how I did and got fooled) or any part of the world. This iS just dumped glass on earth. Lot of auto focussing issues and no(absolutely zero) Stabilization. To confirm mine was not a defective one; I went for a rented lens and tried on my D7200 and D500. That one also was a total disappointment. Because consumer rights are the dumped in India; the Sigma India dealer washed of their hands telling that they don't accept returns.
Other aspects(negatives)

1. Manual focus is a nightmare because the focus ring  travel is just 60mm. I don't know why this lens was designed so stupidly.
2. The zoom ring is hard like a throttle on old tractors.you'll break your fingers. Also,  It gives a jerky zoom movement, so unfit to use as a video lens.
3. The service support for Sigma is arrogant, pathetic Nd dumped. I called Sigma chennai, and was greeted by a girl with the worst taste of handling a customer. She hung up the phone telling that no one is at the office. Kept calling again but to no use.
4. If you are planning to buy this lens, get the 17-55mm Nikon f2.8. great lens. I gave up my lens as a gift to my cousin brother who owns a D7100.
Because he keeps complaining of this stupid brick, I keep reminded of 'never buy a Sigma lens'. NEVER!!!

Took a few tries, but I finally caught on how to work the lid.  You need to hold the outer rim of the lid with the serrated edge while turning the knob COUNTER CLOCK WISE then turn CLOCK WISE to close.

This book covers both photographic technical data and composition information.  It contains all the details and tips you need to know for photographing plants and flowers.

Also,it makes a great reference book.  Certainly the price was right.  I was very pleased with  every aspect of the transaction.

Best cage for the money! We have three adult rats in this cage with plenty of room for them to roam and explore. Provides enough levels to add boxes and other hidey-holes to the cage. Builds solid. It took me about an hour to build it, but I'm definately not mechanically inclined! If there is a screw not fitting correctlly I would say it's probably the wrong side. The wall pieces kind of all look alike and aren't clearly marked, my only complaint. This is the second time we've ordered this cage. One for Males and one for females. We would definately buy them again, but I'm hoping I don't have to!

Question: Great dedicated graphics card to replace integrated graphics on older systems.

The card is a great upgrade for my second generation Core i3 system with integrated graphics. Having 2MB of separate graphics memory and the ability to drive two monitors (one via DVI connector and one via HDMI connector) is great. The included graphics software drives the monitors and auto recognizes that you have two attached. The fan keeps the board cool and moves hot air our of the board area where the case fans can remove it. The board fits well in the PCI-E16 slot and does not take up adjacent slot space. This card is highly recommended for the money and all it offers.

Love these! They have given me such a great sense of security, if even just to let you know there is a potential breech from an intruder to buy you time to act as well as key the intruder know they have been flagged. These are so awesome and loud enough to hear across your home.  Id highly recommend these for every window. I also purchased the door stoppers with the ear piercing alarms as well.

Most docking stations have to be powered to do useful functions like support external monitors, which is a real pain because now you're carrying yet another power supply with some non-standard plug. First surprise was that you can power this hub with a standard mini-USB, no need to carry a special power supply. Second big surprise is that it works just fine without external power! Sure, it won't charge your phone, but it will allow you use external monitors and thumb drives. That pretty well makes this the perfect portable hub to keep in your backpack when travelling.

Question: The Rat Catcher's Daughter

BOY, SNOW, BIRD is the first book I have had the chance to read by highly praised young author Helen Oyeyemi.  This book appeared on so many most anticipated books of 2014 and received such high praise from early reviewers that I couldn't believe my luck when I managed to pluck it as a free book from the Amazon Vine program.  Alas, I find myself in the minority as I disliked this self-conscious and pretentious  novel that tries too hard to be bold and unexpected.

The title seems to be made up of three random nouns but in actuality Boy is a woman (apparently for the most part to add to the quirky confusing factor so many critics love) Snow is her beautiful stepdaughter and Bird is her unexpectedly dark skinned daughter.  Fractured folk tale references and themes abound as Boy is the daughter of a person who has the same disgusting  occupation as the Pied Piper of Hamlin - rat catcher - though  in this case the rat catcher makes Boy flee rather than having a group of children follow . This rat catcher lives in mid twentieth century New York City not medieval Germany and hang on as an "astounding" revelation the reviewers seem to adore is made about this  parent at the close of the book.

The mother/stepdaughter relationship featured in  Snow White forms the central theme and much of the action of BOY, SNOW, BIRD.  Oyeyemi has received much praise for "daring" to address the topic of racial attributes and beauty using some elements of that famed folk tale as her frame.  I, personally was underwhelmed with her product.  The story line of BOY, SNOW, BIRD is also sprinkled with some magical realism  mainly as far as I can tell because  that is  almost  a requirement for successful literary fiction these days.

I debated between giving this book one or two stars.  I am rounding up to two as I like the clever cover and Oyeyemi has definite writing skills and storytelling talent though on the basis of this novel at least I am not ready to get on the bandwagon with her champions.

As a professor whos been researching Libyas revolution for the past 3 years, I found this the best book so far on the roots and domestic dynamics of Libyas 2011 revolution.  In particular, Chapter 9 on the first 5 days of the revolution in Benghazi explains the tipping point that led to all the rest.  Chorin knows many of the key players personally and has read the local Arabic literature.  I just wish the author/publisher would issue a revised and updated version, ideally in paperback, to provide Chorins take on subsequent events, including the tragic killing of 4 Americans in Benghazi in September 2012 and the ongoing struggles between local militias, Libya's government, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
