Question: Jordan Officer - Blue Skies - New Release review

I just received the newest release, Blue Skies, from Jordan Officer and it's actually quite amazing. I recall being quite taken by Officer's earlier release, I'm Free and this album, totally different, shows what a complete artist Officer is.
Opening with the title track, Blue Skies, penned by Tom Waits, Officer slips right into a gypsy jazz mode blowing out absolutely incredibly beautiful riffs on his guitar in a very subdued studio like setting, backed by Alain Berge' on drums and Sage Reynolds on bass. Big Three Trio's Got You On My Mind has an easy blues feel. Officers guitar riffs are tight and spectacular. Fats Domino's It's You Love has trace New Orleans rhythms but subdued with light vocals over sparkling guitar riffs. Arthur Alexander's Shot Of Rhythm and Blues has a pure 60's beat feel and Officer really revs up the playful nature of the rhythm. Clever double stops, vocal harmonies and slick runs give this track a unique feel. Big Joe Turner's Chains Of Love maintains it's traditional blues base with simple vocals and articulate guitar riffs. Sensuous and mature. Instrumental, Night Flight has a Tex Mex rhythm featuring Augie Meyers on keys. Office shows fluid runs and lush chords making this one of my favorite tracks on the release. Leroy Carr's How Long Blues is somber and savory. Maintaining it's rhythmic guitar strum and jazz chords, this track has some of the cleanest blues phrasing that I have heard in a while. Beautiful! Louis Armstrong's That's For Me, is a quiet ballad with strong jazz style picking. Officer is really quite amazing. Phil Spector's Then She Kissed Me maintains Spector's original timing on the melody but double times the guitar work. With the band picking up the bottom almost making it into a country track, Officer maintains his stellar guitar work with my best comparisons being to a young Les Paul. Literally spectacular! Bob Dylan's When The Deal Goes Down, in 3/4 time maintains a quiet composure but Officers incredible elaboration on the fretboard is impossible to ignore. Wrapping the release is another Tex Mex style instrumental, Takin' Off. With Meyers on organ and Tony Albino on drums, this track has a great beat. Office flashes his teeth a few times but keeps his guitar contained for this quiet closer. This release may not be for everyone, but I recommend that everyone check it out. It is really quite different...and amazing!  http://www.bmansbluesreport.com

5-star rating for the Ornament... it is gorgeous and a thing of beauty... 1-star rating for how these are packaged from the shipper to you... I have ordered many of these and read reviews from others... this shipper always uses either a padded envelope or a bookmailer to send these fragile ornaments through the mail, so your odds of getting the ornament (any from this series) in one piece is about 50/50 depending on your luck. If you want to collect this series, be prepared for a few refunds/returns/replacements to get what you want. In the end, it is worth it, these are great ornaments... just wish they would package them better.

Question: Review of Lighted Smart Leather Cover Case w/Built-In LED for Amazon Kindle Touch

This product is the first of its kind that I have used.  I've had this product for approximately 10 days.  I was attracted by its built-in LED reading light.  When I received it, I immediately clicked my Kindle into it, and it fit beautifully.  I tried the reading light and was slightly disappointed in the amount of light provided; it only illuminated the upper two-thirds of the page.  The leather seems to be of good quality and it definitely provides an additional measure of protection to the Kindle.  Employing the light is easy, but it feels like it could break off without too much trouble.  Use caution when opening.
In sum, I would say it feels good to use, the lighting is adequate and the case is durable.  I would give it 5 stars if the reading light illminated all of the page and if it didn't feel so delicate.  I would recommend this to other Kindle Touch users.

Went together nicely and it moves air really well. I would like to replace all my fans with this one.

Question: Other than that the bag seems to be very good quality, but unfortunately

Everything seems to work well except the one of the two main buckles.  After using the bag maybe twice, one of the buckles quit holding and now comes loose.  Other than that the bag seems to be very good quality, but unfortunately, for me, if one thing is bad it ruins the whole bag experience.

Ordered large for my hands but they could definitely be a bit bigger. Comfortable and keeps hands from hurting too much while lifting.

Mango is by far my favorite!!! Finally there exists a healthy snack that tastes amazing! Haven't tried all the flavors yet but will definitely pick up a big selection from WholeFoods next time i go

These books blessed my heart. They spoke the truth as I have never heard it. I am so glad to have come out of the deception of the Christo pagan religion, and the contaminated universal religion of Christianity. Our true Messiah Yahusha is at last being recognized by humanity as King. This author has written 8 books so far and I have not only read them, but have studied them. I have double checked most of his references inside and outside of the Bible. He leaves no stone unturned to get at the facts. He includes photos, images, maps, archeology, and many more sources of which he gleans truth. He includes opposing views giving those sources as well. He is truly a man you can trust. I highly recommend his books. But be ready to be changed forever. check him out at his website at: [...]Search for him on youtube & facebook. I have known him now for over 2 years via the internet. You will not be disappointed in his books.Creation Cries Out!

Question: Good for the first week

I purchased this for my pocket pc a week ago and it worked great... Signal strength etc.
Then when I turned it on yesterday it totally crashed. Literally this thing is dreaded for PDAs. you have to soft reset it every time. A MUST AVOID. I would give this negative 5 stars.
Now I have to buy a new pocket pc cause Im out of warranty. rrrrrrrrrrrr

I have a 41 year old son that loves the stories of Charlie Brown.  He recently mentioned that he had the original Charlie Brown book we gave him as a small boy.  I saw the collection on the website and thought it would make a great Christmas present for him this year.  I can only say that he will love them and when I told his 13 year old son what I had done he said his dad would be really "cool" with them.

After Christmas I will let you know how my gift was received.  Charles Schulz has been a favorite of ours since the very beginning.

Question: Not grammar or spelling

This book was a complete waste of money.  The activities are silly busy work; they involve no instruction or learning.  There are no lessons of any kind.  Examples of activiities include: Write a sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet or Invent 5 words by spelling common words backwards to mean their opposites. Another gem is: Calculate how many scrabble points you would get for spelling your own name then think of as many words as you can that have the same point value as your name.

If you just want cutesy activities, the book may be of some use. For every 20 worthless activities there may be one activity that relates to grammar or spelling (1.e. Rewrite the following sentences so the pronouns relate to the antecedent). As a whole, the book is definitely not worth the money for me!

Used daily and always provides a wonderful streak-free clean to our shower glass without any downside. Size is great; quite durable.

Question: Your feet will thank you!

My son loves them! His feet love them! So comfortable, warm and plush.  I love them for their price (excellent deal!) and soft 'rubber' durable sole. No more hearing him 'slip-slapping' around the house.

While I got this specifically to use for organizing cleaning tools (dust mop, mop, broom, etc), it could work for anything you want to organize that has handles and you want off the floor or put somewhere else besides leaning them in a corner.  This is a good looking and well built device, so it doesn't look cheap and is not an eye sore when mounted in a common area.  Works great and matches all my OXO brand orange and white tools!

Question: Problems with Mac Pro

On the front of the Mac Pro (early 2008 model) is a Firewire 400 port and a Firewire 800 port. When I use this adapter on the end of a Firewire 400 cable and plug it into the front Firewire 800 port, it works fine. But if I leave it in the port and reboot (using System 10.5.8), the Mac freezes on either a gray or blue screen (color depends on how far along the boot process appears to go). If I remove the cable, sometimes it will continue start up after a few minutes, sometimes it requires another reboot. Tried it several times and the behavior is the same as described above.

But the adapter does work with both firewire video sources and hard drives.

I haven't had time to experiment with it on the rear ports or via a hub.

YMMV...

Simple to install, works flawlessly.  I connected this to my home network, Vera 3 picked it up right away, within 5 minutes all my Zones showed up.  Now when a door opens, it turns on lights and thermostat.  Couldnt ask for an easier connection

Question: this item looks cheap!

the product advertisement shows a dark blue face but the product is actually has a baby blue face color which changes the look of the watch.

This is my third android Pumpkin double din unit and it is by FAR the best one I've owned. Here are the positives about this unit:

The fast boot is a feature I knew I wanted after it taking almost 30 seconds for previous units to boot and it does not disappoint!

It's also much faster and responds to your touch better than other units I've owned

More internal storage space than other units I've owned, which you really do need if you're going to put any apps on this machine at all. Pay attention to storage and speed specs when shopping!

The adjustable element feature is nice. I was able to match the button lighting to the rest of the car.

I like that the navigation button is now tied to Google maps, which is much better than the system that was pre-installed in previous units. The only downside is that you HAVE to use your phone as a Hotspot in order to use maps.

There were more steering wheel control options than previous models as well, which is very helpful for setting it up the way you want.

The only possible negative I have is that it does not come with a back up camera. I had one installed previously which was compatible though, so that's a plus.

Question: Silent film reaches the peak of its art form at the dawn of sound

Lillian Gish plays her usual virginal character thrown into adverse and unjust circumstances, but here she does so much with the part as we watch her slowly unravel and lose her mind. She plays Letty, a girl from Virginia who comes to live with relatives in a dust bowl town. The atmosphere into which she travels doesn't make sense in many ways. The people there supposedly make their living from cattle ranching, but with the constant sandstorms I don't see how anything is supposed to survive in such an environment. However, that is not really the point. The constant wind and storms are just metaphors for Letty's own mental state and feeling of entrapment. Her cousin's wife is hostile to her from the start, convinced that Letty wants to take her husband away from her, and eventually forces her out of the home. As a result she marries a man she doesn't love, and once this is clear to him he accepts the situation and makes it a goal to raise enough money to send Letty back to Virginia where she will be happy. On top of this there is the constant spectre of a wealthy married man who wants to take Letty's virtue for the recreation of it all.

The visual work on this film is spectacular, much like Murnau's "Sunrise" except in reverse - this film starts out on an upbeat note with Letty looking forward to the new direction her life has turned, and it being all downhill from there. Thus we come to the familiar topic of the abrupt upbeat ending and how it didn't make any sense in the context of the rest of the film. It was an early example of studio suits interfering with the artistic vision of the filmmakers, and so upset director Victor Sjostrom that he never directed another film in America.

Like Murnau's "Sunrise" and "The Crowd", 1928's "The Wind" is an example of silent filmmaking at its peak. This level of art in movies would be lost at the dawn of sound until the problems with the static camera could be overcome and the novelty of sound wore off to the extent that plot and meaningful dialogue became important. The first problem - technical - was remedied much more quickly than the second problem, which was largely a matter of psychology and experience.

It's a shame such a masterpiece is not out on DVD. I believe that Warner Home Video retains the rights to this film as they do to a host of other silent masterpieces. I hope that they use their rights in a timely fashion and give us a DVD release of this film worthy of the wait we silent film buffs have endured.

I've had this knife for about a year. The only problem I have is the plastic handle. No doubt, it's a durable and lightweight material, but I think they could have used something like G10 for the price you pay. Edge was razor sharp out of the box, and the steel is easy to sharpen. Solid lockup with no blade play in any direction. The action is buttery smooth. The lock would stick pretty bad when I first got it, but had broken in nicely.

Question: More than adequate for hiking and survival, and AFFORDABLE!

Love, love, love this camp knife.  The blade is 12.5" of 1095 steel, about 1/8" thick, (approx 3mm?), vs. more traditionnal machetes which are 2mm (about 1/16"). From usrsog publications, I am convinced a LARGE blade is a critical survival kit item. While this is not on the same plane as, say, the 10" SP-52, it does have 2" more of blade, and for $20 it gets you started.  You can start USING this blade and not worry about scratches or nicks like you might if you spent $85.  In the meantime you can buy a cook pot, Mora, file, safety glasses, gloves, or whatever else you need, and end up with valuable experience and great gear.  Even the sharpest factory edge will need resharpening - with this one it's immediate.  It arrives SORT of sharp, not so much near the tip. It will hack through branches but may bounce off coconuts until sharpened. You may as well order a file with this.  The knuckle guard hurts my knuckles, so I cut most of it off - you can't cut all of it off due to the full tang extending through the handle into part of the guard.  I have read the handles on the riveted models loosen over time, so I think it is well worth getting this one and modifying the handle. For packing you'll want a sheath - the $10 Ontario BSH sheath lasts a good while, and as it starts to wear out, you can plan to make a kydex sheath.

The bar is made of a thin sheet of metal.  Other major parts (the two cups to be attached to the wall, the two connectors to be attached to the cups, and the handle and shower support) are solid heavy metal.  The positions of the cups can be flexible, allowing me to re-use the existing holes for the old bar.  However to allow this flexibility, the bar has to be attached to the connectors at any location.  This is achieved by screwing a small screw to the bar, making the thin metal of the bar easily and noticeably dented.

Some other people claimed this could be used as a grab bar.  It is definitely not.  It may support 20 pounds of occasional pull or push, but I will not bet on it as a grab bar because of the thin metal sheet.

I love having Griffin Survivor cases on my iOS devices! These are perfect for if you really want to prevent your iPhone from cracking and denting. My phone hasn't even cracked yet and it never will since I have been using this case!

i love this chandelier. it's beautiful in my bedroom. i also bought ceiling medallion in the photo from amazon.
the 4 stars is because the thin, delicate, metal circles used to hold all these little crystals together is not sturdy enough.see the picture i posted. the long center crystal ball has already fallen down once, and has a small scratch in it, which you can also see in the picture of the close up. my contractor said you have to have a lot of patience to put it together. but the crystals beam off the light onto the ceiling and looks really great. glad i bought it.

Question: Very good for the price!

Purchased this mount for my Canon HF200 HD Camcorder in my car and aircraft. Construction appears very rugged and the suction cup is plenty strong for use on glass and plexi-glass (hopefully that will persist over time too as the plastic ages). There is the slightest of wiggle/wobble when secured; But I think that's inevitable with so much camera mass at end of the mount fulcrum (which, when zoomed-out, doesn't manifest itself in my recordings [which may be result of the image stabilization on the camera]). I would recommend for the casual consumer user looking to create personal videos; but would hesitate recommending for commercial/professional video production (if you required a complete, 100% vibration/wiggle/wobble-free mount). In short: it's a good mount for the price!

[This review is for John Blofeld's "The Zen Teaching of Huang-Po: On the Transmission of Mind".]

I'm certain that you've read some of the other reviews and so understand what this book is about -- I'll try not to repeat their words.

John Blofeld was one of the earliest English-language translators of classic Zen texts.  Back in 1958, there were very, very few Zen texts available to the Western world.  This one became a classic.

Here are some of the main points of Huang Po's teachings:

He is ceaseless is asserting One-ness, and that duality is the root of delusion.

There is one mind, outside of time and space, ever-present.

Sudden enlightenment is the way it is.  There is no advancement in stages.  Enlightenment comes suddenly when the mind has been purged of the clutter of conceptual and discriminatory thought.

Seeking enlightenment is useless, but still, enlightenment takes effort.

Cling to nothing.  Let each thought go as if were nothing, or make whatever slight response is suited to each occasion.

When mind thinks, we are in duality.  Thinking is responsible for our errors.

There is nothing to teach.  Study is useless.  You can't learn it from others.

No merit can be accrued, so piousness is useless to arrive at enlightenment.

Keep the mind motionless.  Let the world simply flow.

Zazen itself *is* liberation.

----

Could he be any clearer?

Every Zen library should own a copy -- highly recommended!

My 7 year old daughter is constantly watching the ground wherever she goes looking for special rocks.  My purse and her pockets are always full of rocks!  She broke her arm last week and is restricted from all activities for the rest of the summer.  I ordered her a special box of rocks as an activity especially for her while she is on the sidelines.

Question: Giving it a 4 star despite the fact that it broke and I took it back

So, I used this little crossbody organizer 3 times before the strap broke and pulled material away from the organizer making it useless as a crossbody bag.  BUT, it was a wonderful organizer!  It has all kinds of great compartments and slots for credit cards.  It even includes a place for checks and it included a pen.  I was sorely tempted to trade it in for a new one which I wouldn't have used with the strap but rather as an organizer/wallet; however, I have a beautiful Coach wallet -- same dimensions and very, very nice but not as many great compartments as this Buxton organizer.  If you just want an organizer to carry in your purse, this might be for you.  Just beware about using it with the strap.

I recently put this up.  There is plenty for about two windows and a smaller window.  I specifically got this for my downstairs bedroom and the downstairs bathroom.  This adds a great level of privacy.  I have added some pictures of the two areas.  It was pretty easy to put up.  You clean the window and wipe it dry.  Then after you size the window (it suggests about 1 extra inch for overlap), you peel the backing.  You also wet the window with water (I suggest you do this with a lot of water.  I did a series of paper towels and then after it was all wet, I squeezed it a bit more at the top where it would drip).  Then you place the peeled film on the window.  I used one of those squeegees that you would have in a bathroom to get the water off the walls or the glass door.  That worked great.  I then pressed up to the top.  Its best then to use a straight razor to trim the top of the window and you just make your way around to all edges.  The first one took a little practice.  For instance, I used the wrong razor the first time --- a normal one you get in the hardware store would be perfect.

I bought this for my granddaughter who was just diagnosed with lupus and was losing  plugs of hair around her edges and for myself for my shedding thinned out hair due to hypothyroidism. After the second week of using this my granddaughter's hair is coming back around her edges as soft baby hair and has gotten thicker since then. Her hair is much softer and manageable. My hair is much softer and also feels like it has thickened up since  I started using the product. It's only been three weeks & I we see results already. Great product!

If you like martial arts films in which swordfights take place between characters that seem to float on air, then Hero could be the film you've been waiting for.  Hero is full of exquisite scenery, vibrant colors, radical fight scenes and an awesome display of extras in epic proportions (it is said that 18,000 Chinese Army regulars played the role of the Qin army in the film). But unlike Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero's characters don't connect with the audience on an emotional level and as a result it is difficult to get to know them.

  Directed by Zhang Yimou Hero is reportedly the most expensive film in Chinese history, it is also his first attempt at this type of film. Like Crouching Tiger, it is firmly within the `wushu' genre (roughly translated, this means `Heroic Warrior') and serves up several impressively choreographed fight scenes.

  The film is set in China in the third century BCE . The Nameless one (Jet Li) is a provincial prefect who has been summoned to the imperial court of the powerful King of Qin (Chen Dao Ming), in order to tell him how he has defeated the King's three greatest enemies: Broken Sword (Tony Leung), Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung) and Long Sky (Donnie Yen). As Nameless spins his various yarns in flashback, the King realizes that he may not be telling the truth, so we get several different versions, similar in style to the 1950's Japanese film Rashomon.

  The cinematography, by Christopher Doyle, is incredibly beautiful - frankly, it's the main reason to see the film. The use of color saturation enhances the viewers experience and is used by the film maker to separate plotlines. One breath taking fight scene in particular takes place against a sumptuous backdrop of bright golden leaves that turn to deep red at the scene's climax. In fact, each of the fight scenes are color coded. Although the link between the colors and the scenes themselves is subtle, there is definitely a method to Zhang Yimou madness.  The red scenes correspond to the characters feelings of jealousy and impending doom.  The blue sequences show the anguish of lost love.  Green is used when the Broken Sword and Falling Snow are plotting and attempting to kill the King.  Finally the use of white seems to signify redemption.  Still, who cares when the final product looks this good?

  As Nameless, Jet Li makes a suitably inscrutable hero, whose tales may or may not be hiding an ulterior motive. His fight with the character Sky, in large part takes place in the minds of the two combatants.  Maggie Cheung is also impressive as Flying Snow, particularly during the exciting attack on the calligraphy house where she fends off hundreds, perhaps thousands, of arrows using only her particularly sturdy sleeves.

  Undeniably Hero has several great fight sequences and is profoundly beautiful to look at. The score by composer Tingxiao Hou's is also completely integral to the film. His use of an ancient Chinese stringed instrument called the Gugin (Qin for short) is completely appropriate (and ironic) and  makes the Nameless vs. Sky fight all the more dramatic.  However, the un-engaging structure of the story means that we never really get to know any of the characters on a personal level, they have no depth and as a result, there's no emotional hook to the plot.  That being said, watching the film more than once will make you realize that it doesn't really matter, the film stands on its absolutely stunning cinematography alone.

  To sum up, Hero is definitely worth watching! The stunning photography, hauntingly beautiful musical score and the sheer spectacle of some of the scenes makes it time well spent. At the very least it serves as an appetizer for Zhang Yimou's follow-up film House of Flying Daggers.

Question: Excellent for what it's designed to do

This "cable" organizer is just that, a great cable organizer. As you can see in my uploaded picture, it's fits everything I need perfectly. It's designed to hold cables for small electronic devices, like your cell phone, iPad, Bluetooth speaker, etc. Dont expect it to have enough room for your laptop power brick and cables or anything large at all. If you're looking to hold the small stuff, it's perfect!

Excellent. I love the larger tapioca pearls for coconut milk pudding. These pearls were perfect. I soaked for 2 hours, rinsed and when they were cooked into the pudding they retained their shape and had perfect chew texture. Glad I bought them and will do so again.

Question: For the price, it's a great fight stick!

I picked up this stick because I was getting a frustrated waiting for MadKatz to get out of their back log on the Street Fighter IV sticks. I accidentally found this while doing a google search and ordered it immediately after finding it on Amazon. I received it in 3 days after ordering it and have been very pleased with its performance. I'm not really picky on my fight sticks so I think that this would be OK for a casual gamer. More advanced / tournament players would rip this stick apart but for me, this stick beats the PS3 controller... if only they made it for the XBOX 360!

Can't go wrong with this cast (especially Richard Conte) and this director. Conte was also in the Godfather (as Barzini, I think.)

Question: PRINTED MATTER / DRUKWERK

The work of Karel Martens occupies an intriguing place in the present European art-and-design landscape. Martens can be placed in the tradition of Dutch modernism  in the line of figures such as Piet Zwart, H.N. Werkman, Willem Sandberg. Yet he maintains some distance from the main developments of our time: from both the practices of routinized modernism and of the facile reactions against this. His work is both personal and experimental. At the same time, it is publicly answerable. Over the now 50 years of his practice, Martens has been prolific as a designer of books. He has also made contributions in a wide range of design commissions, including stamps, coins, signs on buildings. Intimately connected with this design work has been his practice as an artist. This started with geometric and kinetic constructions, and was later developed in work with the very material of paper; more recently he has been making relief prints from found industrial artefacts. This book looks for new ways to show and discuss the work of a designer and artist, and is offered in the same spirit of experiment and dialogue that characterizes the work it presents.

Wow!! This book was not at all what I expected it to be. Based on the cover and synopsis, I thought it was going to be extremely dark and graphic, but it turned out to be such a beautiful love story, filled with tenderness and hope. The writing was excellent, and even though the "twists" were very predictable, it was still a page turner.

Thank you for this book. I too was stationed at Sabana Seca and was friends with Emil White. I still see the bus and remember the horror of that day. I am just now trying to get help from VA to deal with what we lived that day and the weeks to follow. It never goes away and I  thank you for an accurate overview of the attack.

Works GREAT but over all it is a very cheap design

Question: slow start great finish

This book started off really slow and I almost had to force myself to read it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the end and I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

I'll be honest: I did not love this book and, at times, I didn't even like it.  That's because the story was a little unusual and I didn't like some aspects of it.  I hated how Adrian's life kept hitting her in the face (small spoiler example: an employment drug test she failed due to Nyquil) and I worried about her too much because of all these hits.  I hated, hated, hated Badger's background story but that's because it was a harsh one to learn about.  I didn't like the ending (actually the part right before the ending) because it was not a "happily ever after" story, but those plot choices are the author's prerogative and I can't take exception with an author just because she writes a story in a way I'm not comfortable with or happy about.

Having said all that, I may be this author's biggest fan so I will read anything she writes.  Her use of words and phrases is just so clever sometimes that I have to pause and re-read a sentence.  Paraphrasing here, but she describes fraternal twin sisters as being Fabrege and scrambled eggs.  Her insight into how her characters think and feel is just brilliant - as it is in every single thing I've ever read of hers (and I've read a lot).

In summary, this is not my favorite Cara McKenna book but it has many, many aspects of her brilliance that shine through and I'm glad I read it.  I will be thinking about it for days to come and it will resonate.

Question: by far one of the best krautrock bands

recorded in 1971, this album is so far ahead of its time its unbelievable. each song flows with the wildness of an extended hendrix solo, while retaining a sense of heaviness and sloppy rocknroll parts. completely drug fueled free jazz musicians playin the blues. tell me what is better than that.  if there was one rock band sun ra shouldve gotten together with, it was these guys. the drum playing alone must be heard to be believed...like bill ward, art blake, tony williams, and bonham rolled into one. any fan of early zz top, hendrix, the more 'out there' moments of zeppelin, sabbath,and the like should definitely check this out.

I was expecting a heartwarming comedy, centering on Dolly and Latifah.  Instead, it was a Romeo and Juliet type drama centered on the two kids. I made the mistake of buying it, and I probably won't watch it again.

Question: The Original Sesame street gang, in all its crazy fun glory

The Original sesame street gang[well minus Mr hooper and david] are here,along with Big Bird, Oscar, ernie and Bert,Grover{SUUUUPer Grover}Telly[when he was still nuerotic]Cookie monster,the honkers,and leaning out a window at the very end,Elmo. It tells the charming story of Big Bird and his placement by the Feathered friends society"s Miss Finch into a home with the DODO family in Oceanville Illinois. Of course Big bird is unhappy when the dodos[they live upto their name quite ably] tell him that Snuffy, his best friend[whom viewers might remember, at that time was thought to be imaginary to Big Bird}cant come to visit. So big bird, his teddy bear radar[cultural refernces abound]split up[he mails radar]and he starts his adventure back home. Along the way we meet the SLEAZE Brother,played with good fun By SCTV veterans, Joe Flaherty and Dave Thomas. The Sleazebrotheres operate a {F}UNFAIR,the worst funfair imaginable. They atteempt to kidnapBig Bird and turn him into a sideshow,but thsi being Sesame Street,it all works . Along the way Big Bird hitches a ride with turkey farmer waylon Jennings[who sings the lovely There Aint No Road too Long],stays ata farm with two children,one of whom Ruthie,later gows up to be LOONETTE on te BIG COMFY COUCH!}They sing EASY GOING DAY, probably the best song on an excellent soundtrack. Ernie and Bert and Big Bird pay homage to Alfred Hitchcock with a scene from North by Northwest,done with the susual Sesame street deftness. Of corse all is well and all will be well, and the end finds everyobe united a happy. This is a great DVD transfer,the picture and sound a quantum leap from the Vhs,which, having 5 children,I went through 3 in the intervening years.i have seen this movie literally hunderds of times, and it is a joy to watch. the song selections on the DVD are nice,otherwise the extras are nothing much. Still, this would be the one movie I would own for my children if I could have only 1. It is wonderful to look at,great to listen to, and sheer bliss watching your children enjoy. Oh, that and 278,incredible collossal credits....

After several hours of research, I chose to buy the Arlo System.  I very rarely provide online feedback, but in this case it is necessary.  This is a wonderful product that is easy to use right out of the box with very low involvement in setup.  I would highly recommend this to someone trying to go wireless without the high cost or monthly operation cost.

I have studied Italian for decades (off and on) and to date this is the most effective system I have seen or heard. I've tried so many: Pimsleur, Berlitz, Rosetta Stone, Mango, Busuu, undergraduate Italian courses at college, et al. and this product really stands out.

As said by some other reviewers its hard to start.. But once you get a feel of it then it should be fun to play.

Can't comment too much since it was returned for it not working. To be fair, it may not have been the product but my car that had the problem. I did replace it with a better product.

It's a fun fake wig that does the trick for a costume.  Don't expect the hair to feel real at all, or for it to feel more comfortable on your head than a costume wig.  It's warm a scratchy feeling, but that's after a while of wear.  Comfortable enough for the impact when you first get to the party.  But second cocktail, you'll either not feel it or want it off!

Question: they were all that good,

I just finished reading all three books in the series,they were all that good,

I've never read a book (that didn't have pictures) so quickly. It's said too often and it's quite cliche', but I literally could not put it down.  This book seems like two books in one.  The first half tells of a Christmas gone awry, then the second half tells a story about life after that awful Christmas.  At the end, the two stories merge together in a manner I've never experienced.  Of the dozen or so characters in this story, each one of us, can relate to one character personally, and can relate to the other characters through our own life story.  It's a gripping novel and coming from Glenn makes it even more special.  If your eyes don't well up at some point during this book, then read it again, and again, until they do.

Question: UA quality for the win

The wife loves it she said it is warm and fits well. She loves the thumb holes, has not piled at all.

This game is like the culmination of all the other Fire Emblem games. It even has an "easy" mode for players that don't like perma-death and doesn't force you to move along the story when your not even ready. Includes street pass connectivity so you can pick up new challengers when you take the 3ds with you and Nintendo has given a lot of free items usable within the game. It
s a good strategy game for players new and familiar to the franchise.

Question: Autumn on the Shetland Island of Fair Isle...a time of fieldfares, redwings...and murder

For several weeks, I have been savoring every page of the last installment of Ann Cleeves' excellent SHETLAND ISLAND Quartet. BLUE LIGHTNING is the title of this murder mystery featuring, as in the other novels, one James Alexander (Jimmy) Perez, an Inspector with the Highland and Islands Police.  Jimmy Perez has been lurking around the other mysteries in the series.  In BLUE LIGHTNING, he takes center stage.

Perez has come to Fair Isle, the tenth largest of the Shetland Islands, to introduce his fiancee Fran Hunter to his parents, Big James and Mary Perez. Joining Perez and Fran at various stages of the story are characters from Cleeves' other tales:  Sandy Wilson, the policeman from Whalsay, and the most interesting woman in the novels, Rhonda Laing, Perez's boss, the FISCAL (a cross between a magistrate and a prosecuting lawyer).

Ann Cleeves uses the most prestigious Bird Observatory in the U. K. located at the Northern part of Fair Isle as the prominent setting for her tale.  The Observatory is a former lighthouse now a field centre with living accomodations. The time is the autumn of the year, the height of visiting birdwatchers and tourists following bird migration patterns.  Cleeves introduces her fictional main characters in BLUE LIGHTNING slowly and carefully:

Angela Barton, the warden and celebrity bird watcher
Jane Latimer, the well-liked and excellent cook
Maurice Parry, Angela's older husband who is the observatory director
Poppy, Maurice's daughter, a reluctant visitor
Ben Catchpole and Hugh Shaw, the assistant warden and handsome birder, respectively
Dougie Barr, a frequent visitor and birder who has just sighted a rare trumpeter swan
John Fowler, a journalist, and his wife Sarah, first time visitors...and
Stella Monkton, a woman with a secret, who appears in the final chapters

All of the new fictional characters except Stella Monkton, needless to say, become suspects as two of the women working at the observatory are found murdered.  First, Angela Barton, the warden...then the cook Jane Latimer.  Both are stabbed with a kitchen knife...with bird feathers surrounding their posed bodies.

No fairy tale ending for this story and the series.  But a riveting hunt for a murderer. And a prominent clue-a simple and single curlew feather.

4.5 out of 5 stars

Seems strong enough.  Great looking!  But, scratches easily. Expect more from OtterBox.

Question: definitely not the best choice for learning the alphabet, counting, shapes and colors

I bought the traveling flashcards as an add on to put in a child's 'quiet bag' that I will donate to a charitable silent auction.  I will include this toy because it is quiet and has no small parts that will fall on a restaurant floor, get lost in a car or clutter a church pew and it would be a hassle to return it.  The selections in the alphabet section are poor.  A child would say that a quail, an owl and a vulture are all birds.  A parent would need to google newt, urchin and yak to be able to talk with his child about those animals.  The theme of the number section is fish and the child is to count the fish with the number displayed  and the number written in both English and Spanish.  The shapes and color section are better but just OK.  My most critical objection to this toy is the fact that a child would not have the dexterity to separate the very thin pages that often stick together and then flip the pages over the two rings that hold the flash cards together.  I would never purchase this toy for my grandchild and would instead buy sets of flash cards for basic vocabulary, colors, numbers and shapes that are available on Amazon and my local dollar store.  The packaging clearly states age 3+, so anyone wanting to purchase these cards for their precocious teething one year old is way off base.

I liked the amp, compact size, my only complaint is the speaker wire output connections, they are too large.  Sound is good.

Question: Great read but our hero has new abilities

I love a fast paced novel that keeps you turning the pages and tuning out everything else going on around you. This book and most of the Reacher books are fast paced and exciting.  I think this is a great series.  I've read almost all of the Jack Reacher books.

Having said that I felt a bit confused about the new savant-like mathematical skills.  Seems unrealistic that after 10 books in which nothing along these lines has been mentioned, Reacher suddennly has this amazing talent with mathematics.  Reacher meets Daniel Tammet?  I don't know perhaps I'm being too picky here.  It just bugged me.  If it was the only Reacher book I had ever read I wouldn't have given it another thought, but I felt like I knew Jack Reacher.

G R E A T  B O O K  - definitely worth reading.

Question: dark and nuanced portrayal of relationships and identity

This is definitely one of my favorite books that I've read recently. It consists of four sections portraying dark and thought-provoking situations that a young, impoverished Columbia grad student, Iris Vegan, encounters in a 1970s New York City. Hustvedt writes characters that interact in very subtle and often abstract ways. Characters' emotions are often confused and left unsaid, actions aren't always explained and readers often don't receive closure regarding significant events in the novel. However, this sort of disorientation is one of the The Blindfold's greatest strengths. Through this abstraction, Hustvedt creates a dark and disorienting mood and conveys poignant observations of different personalities that may be lost if communicated in more explicit terms. The novel also has a lot to say about identity and desire, more of which is revealed each time I venture into this rich and nuanced text. I wouldn't recommend this book for everyone, but if you enjoy dark, atmospheric, and introspective novels, I would highly recommend the Blindfold. I would especially recommend the Blindfold for college-aged readers. I found a lot of the novel rings true for myself and some of my friends who have also read it.

Question: Bought this for stocking stuffers and the men love them!

Bought this for stocking stuffers and the men love them!! Had purchase others with no metal and they bent in the wallet so these were really appreciated.

Dianne Touchell gives readers a sensitively written account of Alzheimers disease and its impact on a family.  Sticky Notes is extremely realistic and gives the reader insight into the deterioration of the mind and of the fabric of the family.  Ms. Touchell does not shy away from including some of the most heartbreaking details  the loss of inhibition, the rollercoaster emotions, the inability to control bodily functions, and the brief periods of lucidity that offer hope but are then overtaken by the disease.

Ten-year old Foster Sumner  Fossie  loves his dad, an accomplished storyteller and, in Fossies eyes, a successful businessman who dresses in a suit to go to work.  Injured by a drunk driver when Foster was young, his mother is less outgoing due to a residual facial disfigurement.  When Fosters dad begins forgetting a story as he tells it, when he cries during a call with his client, and when he forgets his way home, the Sumner family must face the reality of Alzheimers disease.  Word of Mr. Sumners condition reaches Fossies classmates and further complicates his emotions and his behavior.  As the disease progresses, Fosters Aunt Linda becomes involved as do social services, recommending home caregivers for Fosters dad and counseling for Fosters mom.

Adult readers who have dealt with the effects of Alzheimers disease on a loved one will find Sticky Notes extremely realistic.  Readers in the target 9  12 year old group may be less familiar with the tolls, both physical and emotional, this disease takes on the victim and on the family.  Ms. Touchell sensitively depicts the growing frustration of Mr. Sumner, the growing isolation he and his family experience, and the familys gradually increasing anger engendered by the disease as it robs them of a vibrant individual.

With respect to its writing and its realism, respect Sticky Notes is a 5-star novel.  However, it appears that Mr. Sumner has early-onset Alzheimers and is a relatively young individual.  The lack of specificity regarding his age and the fact that some more emotional young readers may worry unnecessarily about their own parents who sometimes forget troubled me.  Having a grandparent afflicted by Alzheimers disease may have been the better option for this novel.  Parents/grandparents may want to read Sticky Notes prior to giving it to their young reader so they can discuss developments in the story as the child reads this book.

Question: From the Inside Out - God's Remarkable Healing

From the Inside Out - God's Remarkable Healing

Rags to Rabbi has to be one of the hardest books I have ever read and one where I had to put down several times, why? This lady has been through only what I can describe as "Hell on earth" and trust me I don't use this phrase lightly!

How Carmen is where she is today is through both God's obedience & His grace. If she hadn't handed her life over to God, her story would have turned out so very different!

She has suffered from her perpetrators, sexual, physical and mental abuse in the worst way possible from the time she was a tiny baby - the suffering and pain she went through, both inside and out we can not begin to comprehend. The emotional turmoil of  isolation, loneliness, bitterness, frustration & betrayal she must have felt over and over again, let alone the question of why? Her constant cries to God to release her from the various prisons of her life, the frustration, the anger at not being heard could have left her tainted, bruised and an absolute mess for the rest of her life..............

But............ as we read on, we can see that God's plan for her life was set in place from the very beginning and before she was born.  As you start to read her story which is painstakingly blunt and to the point, you will start to see why God allowed her to go through what she did.

He has totally turned Carmen's life around, through all the evil she endured which carried on into her adult life including some of the choices she made, slowly you will see a very different woman emerging. A woman determined to establish a career for herself, a woman who wanted to be loved for who she was, a woman who had to learn to love herself but in the end a woman who finally allowed the love of God to envelop her in the most beautiful way possible.

Through allowing God to take charge of her life and to make her life His own, Carmen was finally able to be set free from her past life.

This is a lady who has walked through the most horrendous journey possible but, as you start to read, you actually feel as if you are walking through her life with her. You become totally enveloped both in what she is going through and the excitement of how step by step, little by little, you can see God starting to make changes in her life to the point where He totally changes here life around. A life, where in the end love has won through, God's patient and never ending love.

Carmen has indeed emerged from a Chrysalis into a beautiful butterfly.

If you have gone through any kind of physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse then this book is for you. As you read through, I pray that God will open  your heart to allow him to take over and to heal you from whatever pain and or suffering you are going through - He is at the end of the day, the ONLY ONE who can set you TOTALLY FREE from THE INSIDE OUT..............

My 11th grade biology class loves this kit. They beg to get to use the microscopes and look at all of the different specimen. Great product, great price!

Question: Young Frederica is Underestimated by Family, But Not By Lord Granton

I read this a few days ago and am a bit late posting my review, so had to open up Cloud Reader and refresh my mind a little.  After awhile, some of M.C. Beaton's books begin to run together in my mind.

This story, however, has a slightly different bent than most regencies.  The name is somewhat deceptive because this isn't a story about a man who has a lot of "loves" at least not within the pages of the story.  Lord Granton, although having a reputation as a rake, is still considered quite a marital catch.  When he decides he's weary of rattling around being bored with life, he thinks he will try marriage and hopefully settle down with a wife and sons in the country.  Whereupon he decides to escape the heat of London, accept the invitation to Sir Giles Crown's home in the Cotswolds to meet and perhaps marry the lovely Crown daughter - Annabelle.  He's never met her, only heard about her by reputation - she's a beauty.

Within the same village near the Crown home is another family - that of rector, Sir Peter Hadley and his wife who have four daughters, although one would think he and his wife only had three daughters.  For indeed, the youngest daughter, Frederica, is considered odd, a bit fey and the family doesn't actually consider her as amounting to much of anything.  Her clothes are hand me downs, her family tells her that her looks are "unfortunate" and the best she can expect is to spend the rest of her days unmarried, living as a companion to her mother.  When in fact, Frederica is a voracious reader with a great imagination and hidden desires focusing on the wishful thinking that if she had only been born a male, perhaps she might have been a lawyer or perhaps joined a regiment - anything to have had some excitement in her life.

Eventually Lord Granton and all the Hadley gals meet at church.  He's still bored out of his gourd and all the ladies, including Annabelle Crown are vying for his attention, but when he and Frederica's eyes happen to meet, he recognizes a kindred spirit.  Eventually Lord Granton and Frederica encounter one another again as she sits by a little pool surrounded by trees - one of her favorite places to reflect upon her boring life.  They strike up a conversation and he begins to be fascinated by the little sprite.  Their conversation includes topics related to highly personal matters which is somewhat unusual - he's 31 and she's only 18 but their relationship takes off into something one can only term as unique.

When the Crowns decide they will hold a ball, they believe it will end in Granton proposing to the lovely Annabelle.  In the meantime, when Granton realizes Frederica has never had a ball gown, he purchases one for her and they concoct a story that it was sent to her by one of her relatives.  When he realizes she's never learned to dance, he proceeds to teach her under the trees, on the grass at what has become their favorite meeting place.

But, as we all know, problems will soon arise in paradise.  There are complications relative to Frederica being allowed to attend the ball, although her parents dread to share this tidbit with her.  In the meantime, Granton has second thoughts about his reasons for meeting on the sly with Frederica even as he has begun using the endearing term, "my chuck."  Frederica, although innocent, is woman enough to be jealous when she sees Lord Granton with Annabelle as everything hurtles toward the climax of the story which will take place at the ball.

One thing I really enjoyed about this book is that the storyline provided for Granton and Frederica to have time together, time to talk, to become acquainted without chaperones and all the accompanying protocol that are normally included in stories set during this period. Of course, the ending doesn't disappoint - that you may count upon.

What the reviewer was trying to say is that Carlos Mencia is a phoney comedian trying to pass himself off as a 100% pure latino which he is not. Be true to yourself. And that is something Carlos isn't. True to himself.

Dr. Bernstein is a remarkable physician who embodies compassion and understanding for the plight of seniors regarding driving. He approaches the topic with an awareness of the senior's need to maintain independence balanced by the importance of preventing accidents and unnecessary loss of lives. His message isn't just 'stop driving;' he also provides steps to stay safe on the road in an easy-to-read yet comprehensive text. I especially like his obvious concern in providing possible solutions while approaching each situation and senior with love and respect. A must-read for anyone who is a senior, has senior parents, or cares about a senior friend! Thanks Dr. B!

Question: Good for Calculating on site

Good calculator for estimating purposes, and for calculating field dimensions. Just wish that it had a "cm" to "feet" function.

Foamwerks foamboard V-groove cutter is a huge disappointment.  The unit cuts unevenly.  Because the resulting groove is asymmetric it is impossible to get a an accurate and solid 90 degree angle on the foamboard.  On closer inspection it appeared that the unit was factory defective.  I contacted customer service at Logan Graphics and at their instruction sent the unit to them - their response has been customer nonservice.  Nearly two months and ten emails later I have yet to receive a replacement unit.

Question: Non slip wow what a joke these rugs fly across ...

Non slip wow what a joke these rugs fly across my room every time someone walks on the rug it slides inches at a time , until it slides under a near by recliner , I adjust them constantly. Very disappointing!!

Awesome. On my fifth re-watch and it is still awesome... Very well crafted. I feel it strikes a good balance between respect for those who are lost and excitement and adrenaline for the moment.

Question: Great comfortable shoe!

I've only had them about a week but so far I love them. Very comfy! Feels like I'm wearing slippers :)

I ordered this rug #451 in burgundy. I received a brown rug. Although it is very similar to the picture, it is brown with medium shade of beige in the middle....no burgundy and what I am going to assume is the ivory is also pretty beige. The green is very muted like a dark moss. Rug is dark not vibrant like picture and again not burgundy. Was hoping to use this in a bathroom that I have burgundy curtains in....but I can't--this is too brown. Pretty rug but not what I was expecting to receive.....definitely not like this picture!  I really do think I received wrong rug.

One of the best books that I have read. This is a must read for all coaches at any level. As a College Baseball coach myself Brian Cain takes you into the mind of one of the if not the best College Baseball coach to every step onto the diamond. The motivational quotes and stories can be used not just in the sports world but also in real life as well.

My phone screen shattered the very first time it took a small spill onto a flat surface. I would give it 0 stars if I could. If this case functioned at all for impact resistance that drop wouldn't have done anything. now I am stuck buying a new screen instead. Complete piece of crap. Also, the wallet case  sticks, and any time I try to get it open it seems like it is going to break. It is flimsy enough that I have avoided using the card stow at all together.

Question: Very good bio of St. Dominic and the foundation of the Order of Preachers

I highly recommend this text for anyone looking to get a solid and faithful bio of St. Dominic.  There is a good deal of information regarding the creation of the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans) and the great Saint's interactions with St. Francis, popes of the time, etc.  Anyone interested in Dominic, particularly those considering the Dominican Laity, will enjoy the book.

Question: Great idea in theory...

I bought this for use at the child care center that I work out. It's only been a few months and they have come a part. Keep in mind that we wash these a couple times a week as they are used by many infants each day... All cloth toys are played with for only a day before going in the hamper to be washed. The tabs linking the blocks together started to give way in less than a month and after 3 months the tabs that gave way have started to unravel the seam. These may be just fine for a one child house but if you plan to clean them often or use them for multiple children they may not last as long as you'd like.
They are bright and the kiddos do love them.

This is the second cheap bag I have purchase recently. Both were in fact very cheap, with this bag being far cheaper quality and materials used. D rings can't support the weight of the packed bag. Canvas straps were wearing by the end of one trip, shoulder strap stitching came apart and left me with no shoulder trap for the trip. Even if it stayed together the D-rings were so weak and so far bent by the end that they would have not held it anyway. The real topper on it all was the zippers, all of the exterior zippers were absolutely impossible to use, the bag has no rigidity, and the zippers would deform so much that you would literally have to lay on the bag to line them up to get it zippered. 10 minutes of you life you can save by buying the nicer bag. I wouldn't be so surprised by the wear if I over packed the bag, but with the little amount I had to bring with me, it's not going to last any longer then one trip. Spend the extra money or just plan on ironing or dry cleaning at your destination.

Question: Install your unit immediately and check for problems before the return period expires

A few things come into play with this rating - the one star is for customer service and another one star is for product manufacturing quality on the unit I received.
Customer Service:  I ordered this in March 2018.  As with many of us, life happens and I did not install it until this June 2018.  It remained in the original packaging on a shelf safely in my garage.  I went to install, pressurized the system and water came spraying out of the inside of the unit.
I requested a replacement and was quickly notified that I had exceeded the return day policy.  No replacement.  While I share some blame on delaying my install, the fact that there was a defect in the new, unopened box tells me regardless of delivery and return policies the unit should be replaced.
Manufacturing Quality - I've uploaded a picture of the defect:  Since I was not going to receive a replacement unit I pulled the cover off and found an incomplete solder sweat where two copper tubes were soldered together.  This is a very basic solder joint and never, if the unit had been checked at the factory, been allowed to pass quality assurance.
Additional Note:  This is the second unit I have purchased  The first one worked extremely well and only had to be replaced due to an early freeze last winter that caused ice in the unit to split a copper tube.  Our bad.  Make sure you clear your water system if you live in climate zones that freeze.
In general, with this exception, I think the Girard Heaters are good .... just make sure you unpack and install and check the your system immediately.

Sound on my gaming console is okay, but the video is horrendous. I ended up purchasing an OEM cable for my console after buying this one.

Question: Great Collection Od Carl Perkins!

What can I say, Carl Perkins wrote & performed some great songs, and this particular collection of his songs is great! If your looking for a good collection of Carl Perkins tunes, or your just checking it him out for the first time, this album collection is a good one to have! It covers most of his major songs, so you can't go wrong.

Everything works as advertised.

The SmartStick Keyboard Controller comes with a USB dongle tucked inside the battery compartment that, once inserted, should work with no further setup. Or at least it worked with my rather exotic Tronsmart MK908 II Andoid PC. All the keys are 'there' and there's an option to turn on the backlit for whenever the keyboard is in use. The touchpad, small as it is, turned out to be quite responsive and I could probably get used to it as a mouse control alternative. Should probably also mention that it comes with a rechargeable battery that should last for quite a few days between charges and there's a 'low battery' status light. A manual and a USB charging cable is included.

However, I will be returning the SmartStick because of the touchpad's placement. I am a two-thumb touch typist when it comes to small keyboards and, because of the touchpad's placement to the right of the keyboard, reaching to the keys I would normally press with my right thumb turns out to be anything from difficult to annoying or frustrating.

My verdict: either the keyboard or the touchpad are great if evaluated in isolation. However, if you are going to use the mouse most of the time and the keyboard only rarely or not at all, then go for it. If the keyboard is important and you are using both thumbs to type, look for something else.

Product was delivered timely, and the packaging looked factory fresh.

PULL THE STRAP TO TIGHTEN THE WAIST AFTER PUTTING IT ON FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THE STRAP BROKE (TORE RIGHT OFF)

We're working through our first bag of this food after having gone a year with Solid Gold Bison formula. Our two very active very fit big boys (75 and 95#) seem to be tiring of the old food. I was looking for a reputable food at a good price and found this on Amazon. I really hope they keep it on Prime because that makes a huge cost difference for us not paying shipping.

The boys loved the food from the get go.. no longer giving me that "this again" look. The only reason I deducted a star is due to the small size of the kibble. I find that larger dogs tend to "inhale" the smaller kibble and not really chew that much of it. It would seem to me that a food geared towards larger dogs IMHO would have a larger kibble size. I was amazed at how dense the food is after one of mine upchucked in the truck.. kibble size then was what I'd think it should be :-).

As a friend of mine mentioned with his dogs on this food the stools are smaller and firmer. I can attest the the latter for sure and as the Chief of poop clean up operations around our house that is ALWAYS a good thing!

Excellent price.  My order arrived sooner than I expected and in excellent condition.  Would buy from this company again.

I love this series and I am anxiously awaiting the newest addition in May 2010. If you like Vampire thrillers, romance, lust, and surprises, this series is for you. The books are the basis to the HBO series True Blood. There is a difference; the books have a slightly different story line and will keep you hooked from book to book. I love this author, she has a great imagination!
You cannot go wrong buying this series at all!

Since January 2014, the GED has gone high tech.
The test is done on the computer now.
However, I like this book because it is comprehensive and well laid out.
I wish that the same book existed in Spanish too.
This is the best of the 2014 GED version books there is available at this time.

The quality of this item is great.  Thick, clear acrylic and no shaved edges.  Please note that some larger, singles will not fit in this.  Ex: Lancome, some Bobbie Brown products.  That is the only reason I gave it 4 stars vs 5.  And to be fair, the description did state this.  However, if only the compartments were 2 cm bigger!

Question: Digital Encyclopedia Brown

When I ordered this product, I knew my life would never be the same. While I would sit on the porcelain throne, anyone could see, and for that matter, hear, me play angry birds while doing what I do best. Then, one day, I came upon this invention. Finally, I had a reason to buy an iPad, if only for my bathroom. From then on, I stayed in my fortress of solitude and took advantage of this contraption. I would record my voice with Garage Band, watch every movie on Netflix, and some rare political podcasts. I soon learned that those podcasts had more crap in them than the bowl below me. However, such a time of bliss and convenience came to an end. This situation has affected many, causing panic and stress. I ran out of toilet paper. It wasn't long before I started to worry. The closest source of toilet paper was another bathroom, one floor down. Doing the walk of shame, reeking of disappointment and feces, was not an attractive prospect to me. Then, I looked at the device, cradled so well in the pedestal stand. Drastic times call for drastic measures, after all. Coming out of the bathroom, $500 wasted, I realized the last image on the device was an encyclopedia.

I bought this for my girls when they started bathing in the big tub. It sticks well to the bottom of the tub and is really cute. Highly recommend.

I have the PRO Beauty tools curl wand and it works amazing for my hair. I was looking for a larger barrel to make large loose curls ( which this does do for about 5 minutes) but the curls do not stay in my hair.

Question: From an ogre to a prince and from a troll to a beauty queen

My husband looked like an ogre for the longest time.  He bought this pillow and started sleeping on it, and after a few nights he started to look like a handsome prince again. Lately I've come to realize I've been looking a little more like a troll, so I bought a pillow for myself.  The more I sleep on it, the more I become a beauty queen. Buying this pillow has truly given us our "beauty sleep".

This is one of the tightest Perry Mason mysteries, and it stretches the Mason formula far more than most of the novels do, leading to a great last paragraph.

There are some drawbacks. The solution, as often in Perry Mason mysteries, involves a whole lot of new data for the reader to digest. In this particular book, the data are actually clearer and more relevant than usual. But in return, they're less believable. The murderer's plot is too elaborate to work as well as it does, and the murderer's hidden authority would, in the real world, have been known to the police months or years before.

I don't mind. The ending is exciting and, as always, the story flows with magical smoothness. Very well done.

Question: Great Art, Fantastic Story

"Black Hole" combines the unsettling normalcy of Dan Clowes with the heart-rending angst of the Hernandez Bros. His images are clean yet complicated, and the story is masterful.

 "Black Hole" is a challenging read, revealing the darkest depths of teenage life. This is a story about the things that happen at 3am, after all the good times have ended, and things just get weird. It's also about growing up, coming of age  and all that is inherited. And there's a little suspense thrown in for good measure.

It took Charles Burns a long time to create this book, and I'm willing to wait for his next one, too.

No matter what side of the political spectrum you fall on there is something in this book to torque your jaw. What if loud mouthed Uncle Harry that wants to kill everyone he disagreed with got his way? Just when you start thinking OK let's go with the flow see where this guy is taking us you discover the Congresswoman that is targeted is a Debbie W. or a Congressman Chuck S. Does that change your opinion? Through out the book are  quotes from our founding fathers and others. Who do you agree with more Thomas Jefferson or what the nuns taught you in school?

One thing I guarantee, I will be thinking about this book for a long time.

Question: Not perfect, but overall I'm happy

This program isn't perfect, but overall I'm happy.  I've been using Quicken on a PC since the late 90's.  A few years ago I switched to a Mac and used Fusion to run Windows on my Mac ONLY to keep using Quicken for PC.  My most recent version was 2012.  Lately I started having problems with the Quicken 2012 and I decided to purchase this and give it a try since there is a 60-day money back guarantee.  I transferred all my data and everything went smoothly except none of the balances were correct...I mean they were off by thousands.  It was slightly frustrating but then I decided to start from scratch since not all my data was up to date in 2012 (because it wouldn't always connect to my banks).

I spent an hour setting up all my accounts, connecting to banks, etc.  That was over a month ago and so far it's worked fine.  I mostly use Quicken to track my accounts, see what bills are due, etc.  I don't really use the budgeting feature and I rarely run any type of report.  If you are using it in this manner, it should be sufficient for your needs.  The program is a little more simple than the 2012, but I have figured out everything I need by just googling how to do it.  It really has been a fairly smooth transition and I LOVE how I don't need to use the PC side of my Mac anymore.  Plus, it connects to all my banks (except for one Visa card) which didn't always happen in 2012.

This product fit great, and is comfortable. I'm about 5'3 and weight around 154lbs, and I got the L/XL. I was a little worried about the size because of ordering online, but I'm glad that I listened to the other reviews. For the price, you cannot beat this product. I am very happy with it, and I'm sure my Husband will love it!

i don't know why all size charts in every US polo T-shirt are the same while in real life its different a lot,

I have been using this Ceylon cinnamon for a few weeks.  This is the first time I have bought "true" cinnamon, and I have been used to the stronger flavor of the more common variety.

I prefer the stronger flavor that I am used to.  This has a significantly softer, subtle flavor, without the hot "bite" of the other variety. I have used a bit more of this to try to achieve a stronger flavor, but it remains kind of subtle.

However, since we use a lot of cinamon, I will continue to use this, as it is much healthier.
