Question: Nikki Heat is a female Jack Reacher

Richard Castle, of course, is not a real person, but a character in a TV show. So...these books are a fun concept, as long as you realize that it's fictionalized fiction, fiction to the nth degree. The books are fun, a good way to spend some light reading time, and well-plotted. You end up caring about the characters and what happens to them. What's not to like?

good actors, great story... some good action too... this is great movie to help put together the bits and pieces of the stories you've heard about Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and more.  It all may be true history, it may be fictional, it may just be myths mixed with fact, but whatever the case, there's more truth than not in this version of the 1870's

Question: For those who didn't know

I found this book helpful, informative, and affirming.  This is an issue that needed to be addressed, and it is courageous of Scott to open up his life to the world.  The stories, the research, the questions:  they all made this book the excellent resource it is for people who suffer from anxiety or know someone who does.

Wish the video version of this was still available. It is on YouTube though, but the quality could be better.

Question: The Mature Voice of Connee Boswell at her best...

Frank Sinatra said that Connee Boswell was the most widely imitated singer of all time and Ella Fitzgerald would frequently cite her as her only influence. That Connee is largely forgotten today is a musical travesty.

Connee and her sisters, Martha and Vet, were the most influential female harmony group of their day. When they broke up in 1936, Connee, who had been heavily featured by the group and had been issued as a single artist by both Brunswick and Decca, continued on her own. She would go on to have a number of hit recordings, including several #1 duets with Bing Crosby. She recorded with most of the Big Band leaders, including Goodman and Miller when they were just sidemen. Her solo career would continue through the early 1960's, when she cut a final 45RPM that was issued on the independent Charles label. Her husband/manager Harry Leedy then had the first of several heart attacks and she stayed closer to home to care for him and never recorded again. Connee died of stomach cancer in 1976.

Connee had a number of voices as her career and the musical interests of the country changed. In the early 30's, she was a trend setter with her relaxed, intimate, close-in-to-the-microphone singing, and was the only female singer to influence Bing Crosby himself. She sang with the swing bands of the late '30's and '40's and took a hiatus from reecording from about 1947-1951.

Here's where this CD picks up and highlights the next portion of her career. The original issue on Decca was a 10" EP (Extended Play) album with eight tracks. This CD has those tracks and much more. These recordings were made from 1951-1955 and feature Miss Boswell as a bluesy, torch singer in her full, mature voice. Her voice is heavier, a little huskier, and the butterfly vibrato she had in her younger years has become more pronounced and heavier. As someone once said, there's "schtick" to her voice now that wasn't there so much before.

While it is clear that she's trying (like most other vocalists were in this period where Rock and Roll was really becoming the popular style) to find the voice that sells, there are some gems in this collection. Others are gimmicky, such as the "One Red Rose," and "Main Street on Saturday Night," where she used multi-track recording that was popularized by others like Patti Page and Les Paul/Mary Fords of the day.

Two sides of note include those she recorded with Artie Shaw & His Grammercy Five. "Where There's Smoke, There's Fire," and "My Little Nest of Heavenly Blue" are standouts...Shaw and Boswell swing as hard as ever on "Little Nest" and then, play off of each other in a sensual, almost unbearably sexy reading of "Where There's Smoke.." And, those familiar with her recordings of "Heebie Jeebie Blues" with the Boswell Sisters will want to hear her solo version of this from her later years. Her last hits are in this collection.

The remastering is pretty good and overall, it's an enjoyable group of recordings.

What a amazing story full which will make you laugh and cry.  Lily Baldwin description of place almost made you feel like you were there.  The chemistry between Shoney and Ronan was entertaining and fun.  Loved the story.

Question: Nice product - low price

Item was nicely priced and easy to apply.  Although I was able to "squeeze out" most air bubbles with the included applicator, I was still left with about three small ones in the end.  However, they are at the bottom edge so they do not interfere with being able to view anything on my screen, so I can live with it for the price.

Question: Square glass box. (without the glass)

Too bad it wants to fall apart when you remove the top. One needs 4 hands to open and insert the intended display item.

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/B1bzMEbnfbS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71Qg8h2-QAS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> This is only the second LED light bulb I've tested that can actually compare to a standard light bulb when it comes to casting light in all directions. This is due to the simple fact that instead of having a mechanism that BLOCKS some of the light down near the base of the bulb, the mechanism in this LED bulb is all housed in plastic that the light can go through. I don't know why every LED bulb isn't designed this way, as it's actually like a standard bulb -- only better, because it's LED.

This is a great bulb. Simple great.

The atlas was a little less helpful in planning our trip, but being smaller is much more handy in the car once a route is planned.  It gives route names and driving distances.  It does a fairly good job of identifying the next page as you travel past the edge of one page.

Question: Soon to be One of Your Favorites

I have been procrastinating on writing this review. This is one of my all time favorite stories, and I have been trying to define why. Certainly not because of the senseless violence depicted. It is doubtful that it is the historical era that draws me. But I do think perhaps that history does play a role.

  A Tale of Two Cities was the first classic that I had been introduced to. I remember my mother had bought me a boxed set of illustrated classics for children when I was just knee high to a grass hopper. Also included in the set, from what I can remember, was Great Expectations, War of the Worlds, and The Man in the Iron Mask. All of these books hold a special place in my heart, more from nostalgia of my childhood, now that I think of it, than the actual quality of the stories.

  The primary setting is a small city in France, heavy with unrest and ripe for revolution. The secondary setting is London, England, where a French family has migrated to. Hence the two cities.

  Madame Defarge had always been my favorite character. Being a crafty person myself, I had admired the fact that she was ALWAYS knitting, and the details she had included in her designs. They must have really watered down the children's version. As an adult, I fear and pity her.

  This is definitely in my top three best books by Dickens, and my family knows they are on their own when I am reading it as it is the original PYOL (Plan Your Own Life). All I can say is, read it.

I have a tough palette. While I enjoy the price, the service, and the shipping cost and time, I am not a fan of the flavor. I hope that other buyer's enjoy it more than I. Thank you.

This is a very sensible approach to measuring the costs and benefits of charity and philanthropy. Widespread adoption of these principles would put lots of charities out of business, or at least redirect philanthropic $$ to more productive ends.

although the info contained is helpful, the writing style is monotonous. I mean REALLY monotonous. I think the author was just repeating things over and over to make the book longer.

Question: Sounds fantastic - so-so packaging

Blood on the Tracks, an already classic album, just got better with this SACD hybrid version. The 5.1 surround mix is wonderfully clear, revealing lots of previously hidden details, especially in the numbers Dylan recorded with Eric Weissburg & Deliverance. The vocals are crisp and fill the room like never before. The overall experience is like hearing this album again, but in the studio, sitting in between the musicians as they play.
The only thing is that the packaging, though much better than the original CD version, is not up to the same standards as Sony's own Legacy re-issues. A song-by-song analysis (like the ones for the Byrds, for example) would've been nice--and that goes for most of the classic albums of this Dylan re-issue series, unfortunately.
Still, it's a must-have, if you're any kind of Dylan fan at all...

As I kind of had expected, the case did not wrap around the edges of my phone the way I had hoped but overall it is a decent case.

Question: Another one hits the dust.

This novelization is a little bit Elroy Leonard, a little bit Carl Hiaasen and a dash of the old Dennis Lehane. The little bits and the dash do not add up to anything remotely like a satisfying effort. Where is the wonderful writer who wrote A Drink Before the War??? He's been AWOL for a while now, turning out books that, like this one, lack the heart that made the early books so compelling. This is a contrived, by-rote piece of writing that would probably not have been published if it bore anyone else's name. I couldn't possibly recommend it. Two stars only because Lehane wrote some great books once upon a time.

Great buy. Very pleased. Good fit, good sound,I feel that i made a good choice. DU DU DU Du DU DU DU Du. There

Question: Straight back home to BED!

Our toddler WILL NOT GO TO BED until we've done Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy, or more recently, some of Hairy's other exploits (especially Hairy Maclary's BONE and the CATERWAUL CAPER).
Unfortunately for yours truly, these are pretty dull books to read night after night, so you have to be very imaginative about how you read them: I find allocating each of the dogs a different accent (sometimes rotating accents each night) or spoonerising the text as you go along keeps the old fellow happy as the young one is still entranced.
On the other hand, the rhymes kick along quite nicely, and the illustrations - which are an unintentionally dead-on representation of the mind numbingly mundane world of semi-rural New Zealand - are great.
The final line - I don't think it's spoiling anything to reveal that it's "straight back home to bed!" - is an unfailing cue for young sir to lie down, close his eyes, and refrain from screaming the neighbourhood down should father deign to switch off the light. As there is nothing else on this dear earth I have found which will do that, Lynley Dodd has truly earned my heartfelt gratitude and respect.
My one literary nitpick is that Dodd has wholesale nicked the character Scarface Claw off the great New Zealand cartoonist Murray Ball, whose long-running newspaper strip "Footrot Flats" featured a timid sheepdog and its travails with a truly ferocious, semi-feral tomcat by the name of Horse.
And as for being the "toughest tom in town" - pshaw - Horse would have Scarface, any day of the week.

The variety of ways these guys get nowhere is amazing. I love the creativity Bevan puts into these tales. Please keep them coming!!

Question: This one is NOT up to par...very dissapointing!

I gave 2 stars because I really like Leslie, but What was Leslie thinking! First off, the camera shoot is awful and very distracting. I find that the miles are way too easy, especially the first one. I am really looking forward to her  next two DVDs coming later in October and one in November. I really hope that they are much better. After working out with Leslie for many years, I still want to keep my shape and be healthy and this means that I need to work harder. Leslie SHOULD make DVDs for the advance walkers and some for just the beginners, this way, we would know which ones to buy. I regret buying this one without viewing it. I AM HOPING THAT HER 5 BOOSTED MILES coming in November will be fast and sweaty. Also, I wish Leslie would do her next workouts in another location. ALWAYS THE SAME LOCATION IS GETTING BORING. DO ONE OUTDOORS!

Question: Don't pay more than $29.99 for this gift pack

This is a great toy. My son loves the cars, and Mater is hilarious.

With that said, I do recommend you check around for the best price because it sells at Target for $29.99.  We didn't find it in the toy section, it was in the Christmas section of Target.  We found ours on the same isle as the "stocking stuff" type goodies are located.  My husband read another review on another site where someone said their Target didn't put them out at all.  They had to ask at customer service for the gift pack, and someone brought it up from the back storage area.

FYI - People/businesses seem to use Amazon to rip others off. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE to shop at Amazon, and have bought all of my Christmas presents from Amazon. However, I buy from Amazon. Not these 2nd party sellers that charge WAY too much. Please check around for the best price.

I'm giving it 2 stars for the number of gems it actually contained. Since, on the package, and in the description online, it says it contains 5 gems I assumed it would be an accurate description. Afterall, how hard can it be to count out 5 gems and cover them with plaster?

Question: The dimmer fix worked for me!

The dimmer fix worked for me!  I bought this clock back in 2009.  The first one stopped working under warrantee.  They sent me a new one and it has worked flawlessly from 2009 until 2017.  Then, recently, it started to have the intermittent dimmer issue that appears to be a common problem with this radio. The LED light stays on full all the time.  I searched amazons reviews and found a possible fix with pictures. It took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to take the radio apart, then about 15 seconds and 4 drips from a solder pencil. Now the dimmer is working again. Awesome radio other than setting the alarms is a pain in the but. I was ready to buy another one if the fix didn't work. I have zero soldering skills and found this pretty easy to do. If you attempt this, you do so at your own risk and it appears that the fix doesn't work for everyone.

Really glad I got the film to protect my screen. No more smudges. Screen still clear and bright not dingy

Question: Not all I had expected.

If I am going to give a review of something, its going to be honest. This Tail bag fell short of what I consider BMW to stand for. First, it is produced not in Germany, as the name, and $180.00 price tag might suggest. It sadly, is made in China. The other rather glaring fault is that despite my being very careful with packing it, and closing all the zippers properly, and making sure the rain flaps were in the right position, there was significant water intrusion into all compartments. Again, for $180. I expected much better than this.  Practically speaking, it was easy enough to mount up, the straps provided held securely, and there was no shifting of the bag while in use, nor did it effect the handling of the bike in any way. It will hold enough clothing to keep you going a few days between washings.  A 3 out of 5 stars, though in truth, it should be 2-1/2 stars.

After only 8 weeks it is putting ink spots on all the pages. I should have bought brand name cartridges

This laptop has serious image retention/ghosting issue. For a premium product of this price, this is absolutely not acceptable. The reason I tried this laptop was active digitizer panel, however display quality is very disappointing. You may not notice the display issue in the beginning, but I recommend using following website to test your display: http://www.marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html This issue was first recognized Jan/2014 by Lenovo customers and was broadly reported to Lenovo customer service, however my laptop is built in May/2014 and it still has the issue. It is a shame that Lenovo keeps making these defective laptops even though they know the issue.

Pros: Good performance with corei7 and SSD, nice keyboard and good build quality.

Cons: Image ghosting/retention. Touchpad is very loose, shaky and noisy. Folding display back to go table mode is not convenient especially if you are switching between these two modes frequently.

Question: Title track a classic; Give other songs a chance too!

This is one of my favorite 60s albums. It came out when I was too young to get into it when it was new, so maybe I approach it from a different angle than your average hippy-boomers do. There is no nostalgic charm in it for me, since it was slightly before my time, so I can take it on its own merits

Everyone knows innagaddadavida of course. I'll compliment it by saying it may be the only one of those long complete-side songs that were so "hip" in the late-60s and early 70s, that is not boring and that doesn't drag Some of the long stuff the German group CAN did also keeps up interest through the whole track, but most other rock n' roll bands didn't have the talent or imagination or the performing skills to sustain songs of such length. Just listen to the Doors or Cream to hear how anything over 4 minutes becomes soporific.

I bet most folks who got this album never even listened to side one. Give it a try. The songs aren't very good, taken just as songs; but the performance of the band puts them over because they really are good musicians. Of course, you might dump any song called "Flowers And Beads" without even listening to it, but even so silly an effort has some good stuff in it.

My particular favorite is "Are You Happy", which begins with the following lyrics:

"I met a pretty girl on a date last night
and let me tell you now she was groovy"

Before you groan, you know it has to get better from there. It does. The second half of the song features some killer playing on the part of the band, including my pick for the all-time #1 greatest R&R guitar solo. You begin to realize that Iron Butterfly was really a good group and not some dated joke from the hippy era.

This is one of my most listened to records. If you approach it with an open mind and don't just write it off as one-hit stuff, and give the lesser known side 1 cuts a chance, you'll get something good out of it. Iron Butterfly is almost unique in the annals of R&R music in knowing how to finish even a lousy song (like Flowers & Beads) with an imaginative ending (rather than just a fade-out). And to become convinced about the worth of this band, go, as I said, to "Are You Happy", skip to about 2:45 into the song and listen to the rest of it and tell me that maybe it ain't the best 2 minutes of R&R music to come out of the sixties!

I've enjoyed Emmylou Harris's work for over 30 years.  I had never heard of Mark Knopfler until the night that I heard this CD playing at the local bookstore.  I walked back and asked, "Who's the guy singing with Emmylou?"  [I am sure there are equally benighted souls who heard it and wondered, "Who's the woman singing with Mark Knopfler?"]

Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, I learned that he'd done the soundtracks for two of my favorite movies, The Princess Bride (Special Edition) and Local Hero.

Most of the songs on this CD are ones he wrote; his lyrics are wry and witty.  Their voices work well together.  This is a highly singable CD, and the woman you see on the freeway on your way to work, singing her lungs out?  That would be me, singing along.

Question: case was ok....but did not hold up to well

Kinda cheap material. Case looked great in pictures but sides of case were all stretched out after on the phone

The metal is sort of flimsy.  It will do until I can get something that is sturdy.  I would not buy it again.

Question: A timeless well written story

Wonderful story, several years old but a very good read.
Some authors are like the really good singers, they are good without the too loud music. Sometime the use of sex is like the too loud music, it's used instead of a good plot/story.

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

Question: Enjoyable, seemed effortless to read

Forgiveness and reconciliation are the themes in this book, and they are done in a way that is not patronizing or staged. The dialogue was refreshing, humorous and not forced.  Conversations sounded like real-life ones.

I enjoyed getting to know Niki and watch her maneuver through the challenges of her job and starting a relationship with someone from her past who had hurt her.

Nice addition to first book in series!  Characters really grow on you!  Easy fast reading!

Question: Wonderful learning toy from early toddler to Kindergarten

I recently purchased this clock to teach my 5 year old how to tell time.  I have an almost three year old as well.  Both girls love it!  Older daughter is learning about the minute and hour hands, o'clock and half past, while she teaches her younger sister about the shapes and colors.  It is very sturdy and well-made as are all the items we have gotten in the Melissa & Doug line.

It was very difficult to program as the setting switch jammed shut repeatedly - success on the 4th try. also, the plug is very loose and keeps falling out of the outlet, and so we have to rely on the batteries. My 6 year old granddaughter loves it, though, so we'll keep it. All in all, we were not satisfied w/the quality of the product.

Question: This is such a wonderful book! As a new mother this is the ...

This is such a wonderful book! As a new mother this is the first book about motherhood that has captivated me. There is no judging, no blaming, no this is the right way and this is the wrong way to parent: Instead, Barry bravely shares her vulnerability and her strength, her honesty and humor, her joy and her struggles. And as she gives herself permission to live fully and express herself completely, it gives us as readers and parents the inspiration to do the same. Thank you, Rebecca, for putting your heart and soul into this book and for taking the risk of putting yourself out there on the page and for reminding us what a beautiful life truly is.

We use this for naptime and bedtime (just change the words a bit) for both of our children (starting around 8 months old).  They love it and it offers great phrases to repeat to help ease them to sleep when they are having a hard time sleeping.  Great buy.

Question: No nonsense, practical advice

Frankly, I thought SOA was just a bunch of marketing hype until I read this book.  The authors begin by clearly explaining of the kinds of problems SOA is trying to solve, and how other architectures tried and failed (or partially succeeded) to solve these problems.  In fact, you don't get a definition of SOA until chapter 4, which is a good thing. The advice and strategies are well-reasoned and practical. The organizational roadmap seems to be unique among SOA books, and is clearly derived from experience. The case studies highlight the kinds of tradeoffs each organization had to deal with, along with lessons learned. Finally, I found this book to be very readable and interesting.

Question: A "Case" of Perfection

I'm an everyday Jane kind of gal when it comes to self-expression. Space Grey, Aluminum (silver metal) or Black when it comes to my electronics. When I found the perfect phone case for my iPhone 6S (http://a.co/d/4QAaQhl) I took a chance and purchased the Rose Gold option. These not being my first case purchases for my devices, I was very specific. To complement the phone case which allows me to mount it to my dashboard (http://a.co/d/g9gtJcn) without adding a magnet or remove my case, I needed an option that was similar for my iPad. I wanted something slim that also provides protection, and I knew that there are frequent times when I don't want to deal with the cover. Not only does this case look stylish, it fit my iPad perfectly and is thin but very substantial and durable. The removable cover was the best part. This case makes it easy to remove the cover, not the entire case quickly.
Moreover, since I didn't want the magnet plate showing through the transparent back casing, I printed out a photo, on regular paper, cut it out and put it inside the back. Versatile and affordable, this case is a must. It arrived today, and it makes the use of my iPad even more appealing. I highly recommend it.

Came in safe and sound. Great for taking with you if you don't want the lug around one of the taller presses, and the outside casing makes it harder to break the glass by accident.

not much else to say about it

Purchased to use on cruise ship in April. We had 10 kids and parents using the same model.  We had no problems reaching from deck 2 up to 11.  We did need to all be on the same privacy code.  Before we changed to a specific privacy code we could hear tons of other people.  We also found that using the vibrate instead of the tone alert was not only better to reach the kids who were sometimes in a loud environment but also limited the impact we had on other cruisers.
During an excursion in Mexico my husband was about 6 miles from me and I could still hear him great.  Overall, great product.

Question: This worked great for my samsung galaxy phone

This worked great for my samsung galaxy phone. We used it in the ocean and got fantastic pictures! I ordered it after reading a positive review someone else posted. I was still unsure, so when it came I tested it by putting a kleenex in the pouch, sealing it up according to directions, and then putting it in a sink full of water. I even held it under water for a pretty good while. Not one drop of moisture entered the FRiEQ. Just follow the directions and you'll be fine. GREAT PURCHASE~

I use this everyday. I even plug it into my Skullcandy earbuds at work. I can't live without it!

Question: One of the best most under rated singers in the world!

I've always been a huge fan of James Morrison. I have all three of his albums that have been released stateside. In a day when auto tune and manufactured artists are a nickel for a dozen its great to still hear someone that actually has talent. His voice is so soulful and enchanting I don't understand why more people in the U.S. haven't gotten in to him. This album is a treasure and I can't stop listening to it.

This album is a great throw back to great music and great singing without all the electronics behind it.

I Love the whole album but my most favorite songs are "In My Dreams" "I Won't Let You Go" "Slave To The Music" and "The Awakening".

Buy it you'll love it!

I gave this cd to a 16 year old.  The music is fun to sing along with, the lyrics are really something that I recommend young girls listen to.

Question: Gives you something to think about

I went into this movie very interested, but with pretty low expectations overall. In other words,  I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but I did think I would like it.  And, in that, I was right; and I was even pleasantly surprised along the way.

The story centers on a wealthy, disabled young man named David Markley and the daughter of the town blacksmith, Ruth.  David pays to send Ruth away to a good school, and when she returns three years later, he is struck by the lovely young woman she turned out to be.  Ruth and David make plans to marry, but Ruth meets and eventually falls in love with her father's apprentice, Jim.  Jim is younger, strong and agile, and has full use of his legs, which David does not.  David has a lot of feelings of inferiority regarding his handicap, and he does notice the attraction between Ruth and Jim, but he ultimately pushes these things aside and continues with the marriage plans, all the while believing Ruth still really loves him.  Ruth and Jim run away together to marry, at the anger of her father and the heartbreak of David.  The events that unfold after this are very interesting, rather sad, but also, well....something to think about....

Elliott Dexter (David) and Gloria Swanson (Ruth) give very good performances here, their emotions coming across very well.  Theodore Roberts is also very good as Ruth's father, Luke.  The cast's performances give this story a sensitivity that is not too overly-sentimental, or overdone.  The music score is nothing to write home about, as it is very repetitive, but it is generally appropriate and fits with the feel of what is happening at the time.

This film is from Alpha Video, and their prints vary widely.  I own a few videos from Alpha, and I must say that this is one of their better prints. There is no severe washout or blackout, and there is never a moment when you can't see what is going on.  It is certainly not pristine, but it is quite watchable.

This really was quite a good film.  Love, betrayal, God and Christianity, marriage, and hope and despair are all themes that run throughout.  It is not one of the epics that DeMille is famous for, but it is overall well done, and an enjoyable way to spend some time.

a book to keep you guessing. worth reading if you want to read all the Stephen King literature that's out.

Question: Would rate 0 stars if possible

These pins have no point, literally. You can feel the roughness as you slide your fingers along the pin side. The metal is so flimsy that even attempting to put it through cotton causes them to deform instead of penetrating; they just bend when you try pushing them through fabric. I have never seen such a poor quality safety pin. I would certainly never want anyone to ruin a quilt top attempting to pin it together for finishing.

Very poor quality cable, due to 0 insulation.  Inside the semi-hard plastic cover, there are just bare wires.

I gave three starts because technically it works.

Question: How did my father ever cope?

I read this novel because of a rave review by Francine Prose in The New York Review of Books and I'm glad I did. One forgets that it's fiction because it creates character so vividly and naturalistically. I started thinking, yes, life can be more improbable than fiction, but, wait, this IS fiction. The triangulation on which the crisis comes to depend never seems forced. Things just HAPPEN!

Glad I'm reading this amazing story which brought tears to my eyes and that doesn't happen often. God Bless! Every day is a gift. I will never complain about my broken ankle again.

Question: Love Battery - Hate Belt Clip - 6 month Update

Love the battery - rate it a 5.  The cheap plastic belt holster is another issue.  I know this is going to break in the very near future.  It's extremely difficult to attach the phone and remove the phone.  If you have "love handles", the top of the clip digs into your side.  They should lower the price of the battery and discontinue the holder.  Better idea would be to offer a quality leather holster to carry this phone since it is almost next to impossible to find one that will fit this massive size.

UPDATE 1 February 2015
I need to downgrade my opinion of this battery.  Though I loved the one for my Galaxy S3, this one fails badly in the fact that it covers up the speaker. I am constanly missing phone calls because I cannot hear the phone ringing.  I've also started to notice that the battery is not holding a charge as well as it did when I first received it and I am using a battery saving app to minimize running applications.  I've barely used the phone since I fully charged it and after 6 hours it is already down to 73%.  I found an Anker 7500mAH battery one Amazon that does not block the speaker and it is $22 cheaper.  I'm dropping my rating down to 3 stars.

UPDATE: June 27th, 2016

I'm changing my original review as with light use the seam came apart between the fingers.

After I'd fixed that, the seam on a fingertip came undone.

Based on these experiences I can no longer recommend these.

Question: Where does this book stand?

I have read a lots of pickup books. In fact in today's mass market there are lots of  books on Pickup techniques mainly for short term gains. Most of them try to teach some secret robotic formula whereby they suggest that you change your personality drastically and fit into some typical Pickup Artist's (PUA) routine. That is where this book differs.

In my opinion the goal of this book is to help the normal, healthy and well-adjusted males form lasting relationship with similar females. This book is concise and covers all essential tools to create your own strategies to win & influence females. Therefore I would recommend it to the normal healthy well adjusted man who is looking for genuine lasting relationship.

Read it in one sitting! I would totally recommend.

Question: A unique belt for work and casual (but not the best for jeans)

I purchased a SlideBelt through Amazon and have been wearing it for the last 6 weeks.  Generally, I like the product, but I can see where a second-generation version could improve upon some features.

First off, I think the ratcheting buckle is a great idea.  Standard belts rely on holes spaced at roughly 1-inch intervals.  Let's face it - waists do not come in those increments.  Second, the belt is very easy to size.  You can easily cut it with a standard pair of household scissors.  Just remember to do it a little at a time to get the right size - you can't undo a cut if you trim it too small.  I took a belt I know works for me and laid it down on a bed side by side with the SlideBelt to get the general size, then incrementally trimmed from there.

Some commenters have noted on the weight of the buckle.  Yes, it is heavier than a standard buckle, but it is also a more complex mechanism.  However, there might be a potential to use lighter-weight but stronger materials for some buckle options (titanium, perhaps?). I personally have not experienced the "drooping" of the buckle, but that's just me.

Also, you will see when you trim the belt to size, the trimmed end is held in place inside the buckle using a clamping mechanism with a claw that grips the belt.  I do see this as a potential problem, because I've experienced the "claw" losing its grip a few times.  Perhaps a more secure method would be to use the same claw, but to fix it in place with a tightening screw (or screws).  Ideally, you'd only have to do this once, unless you are using buckles interchangeably.

Third, the belt itself is just a little bit too thin to wear as a "jeans belt", which are mostly around 1.5 inches wide.  The SlideBelt is 1.25 inches - a slight difference but visible nonetheless.  I'd like to see them offer a true 1.5-inch version, understanding,, of course, that it might also impact the buckle design a bit to account for the wider belt.

Finally, some have noted the price.  The belt systems (belt and buckle) are between $60 and $85.  I can see where some would think this is a high price.  However, you can easily spend much more for that for belts with more elaborate buckles from other manufacturers.  A good belt, if built correctly, should last many years.  I'd rather pay $85 for a belt that gives me 5 to 10 years of wear, rather than the $40 I spent last year for a belt at a major retailer (name withheld) which tarting falling apart after 12 months.

So is the SlideBelt worth it?  So far, I am happy with the purchase, but can see some room for future improvements.  The ratcheting buckle is the only one I've seen for a belt you can wear every day.  But I do encourage SlideBelt to broaden their collection and investigate the improvements suggested above.

This slip on dog leash is great! I'm tried of the traditional looking dog leash. This leash makes somewhat of a cowboy fashion statement. This leash makes a great gift for your pet too! I bought this product at a discount for my honest review and I wish I could have gotten more to gift for Christmas. I highly recommend it and the quality is strong and great!

Question: A Bad Place to Start?

Several stories come together in this novel.  Jeremy Clockson, an orphan taken in by the clockmaker's guild, is exceptionally talented at his trade.  He has something of a genius for clockmaking, which is why he has been hired to construct a glass clock that will be the only device ever to measure time perfectly.  Well, except for the other glass clock that came very close to destroying the world and was almost completely written out of history.

Death, personified, knows what is happening and puts his somewhat-immortal granddaughter Susan on the case.  She is to track down and fix the problem, while Death tries to round up the other Apocalyptic Horsemen to ride out if the end of the world can't be avoided, as is their tradition.

The famous philosopher and sort-of History Monk, Lu-Tze, has taken on an apprentice, Lobsang Ludd.  The apprentice has a better grasp of time than anyone Lu-Tze has ever met; he is able to balance it and split it better than experts in the field.  When Lu-Tze also becomes aware of the construction of the glass clock, he takes Ludd with him to try to stop it before it's too late.

This was the first book I've read by Pratchett.  I was led to believe it was a good stand-alone volume and one I could enjoy if I couldn't get my hands on his first book.  However, I found it difficult.  First of all, I came to the book with none of the Discworld backstory I should have had, which made it hard for me to grasp some of the details of how this universe was put together.  Second, I felt as if the book had a sort of smugness that I couldn't understand, like there were lots of jokes I didn't quite get.  The ones I did get, though, didn't seem as funny as the author seemed to expect.  One example is the names of the martial arts practiced by the monks, which include "Okidoki" and "Upsidazi."  Details like this were just a bit too cutesy for my taste.

Half of the story grabbed my attention.  I really liked Death, the Death of Rats, and Susan.  However, I found the other characters mostly tedious and the story itself alternately confusing and bland.

There are way too many spelling and grammatical errors in this book! Surely this author and her editors know the difference between set and sat, want and won't, too and to, your and you're, plural and possessive... The story line is okay, but the book rambles and was hard for me to stick with and finish.

Question: Ditto to the other reviews

I think that most of us learn more from stories than from rote suggestions and didactic advice.  Ben's story in this well-written novel is valuable and effective in making extremely important points that will benefit us all in our businesses, families and interactions with others in this distracting digital age.  I highly recommend this clever book and agree with Paul Edwards' quote on the back cover, that "this book has the potential to become the 21st Century Who Moved My Cheese."

I can't really say that I love these padlocks but they suit my purpose, they are reasonably priced for the quality and they are indeed all keyed alike. So I give them 5 stars.

Question: Khaled Hosseini, in person and in print

In Berkeley recently for a probing interview conducted by Berkeleyside co-founder Frances Dinkelspiel, best-selling novelist Khaled Hosseini spoke about his craft much as any storyteller of our pre-literate past might have done.

"I just start writing and hope something happens," he said. The interview took place June 23, 2013, before a capacity crowd in the chapel at the capacious First Congregational Church of Berkeley under the auspices of Berkeley Arts & Letters.

Hosseini starts with characters he cares about and sets out to tell their stories. "You should be really excited about writing when you get up in the morning," he insisted. If he loses interest in the characters, he'll throw out as many as ten chapters and start all over again.

"I spend years with these characters," Hosseini explained. "There's an internal dialogue that goes on" as they develop in surprising ways.

And the Mountains Echoed began as a "linear novel" about a young brother and sister, Abdullah and Pari, born in an Afghan village in the late 1940s. However, as Hosseini started to write, he began to wonder how some of the minor characters that had cropped up would fit into the narrative. For example, the children's uncle Nabi "became central to the story" as the writing proceeded, and Nabi's connection to a Greek doctor working for an NGO in Kabul subsequently took the story to a small Greek island as the doctor, too, emerged as a major character.

The result of Hosseini's organic writing process is a novel that is at once intensely personal and broad in scope -- a story that captures a half-century slice of Afghan  history as it relates the lives of Abdullah, Pari, and their family from the peaceful era of the mid-20th Century in Afghanistan to the present day in the South Bay below San Francisco. Compared to Hosseini's previous novels, which verged on tear-jerker melodrama despite (or perhaps because of?) their universal appeal, And the Mountains Echoed is more ambitious, more nuanced, more insightful, and engages Hosseini himself far more.

This book firmly establishes Khaled Hosseini as one of the finest novelists working today. He belongs among that handful of post-colonial writers -- including V. S. Naipaul, Chinua Achebe, and Nadine Gordimer -- who were born within cultures unfamiliar to "the West" and serve as our interpreters of the intercultural experience.

Khaled Hosseini, now 48, has lived in the United States since the age of 15, when his family secured political asylum and moved to San Jose. (A Communist coup had just toppled the Afghan King, and Hosseini and his family were fortunate to be living in Paris, where his father was a diplomat.) A physician, Hosseini practiced medicine in the South Bay for a decade until shortly after the runaway success of his first novel, The Kite Runner, persuaded him to turn to full-time writing. Collectively, his three novels -- A Thousand Splendid Suns was the second -- have sold more than 38 million copies.

Late in her interview, Dinkelspiel asked the author what plans he had for his next book. "I have a few ideas," Hosseini said, "but I really won't know what will happen until I sit down at the keyboard."

Carly is one of my go to authors and I am so excited to start a new adventure with these billionaires!!! Kade is definitely a great start and I can't wait for the next!!!

Question: Great value for the price!

My husband really likes these caps. They fit very well. He too has often had the same problem referred to by another reviewer as  something like "Fuddish" or "Fuddlike" We had a good laugh over that 'cause we often said so many caps make you look like Elmer Fudd. There is none of that with these caps. He looks really nice in them. They are made well too. I probably will buy more. The order came in good condition and very quickly. Thanks Anvil and Amazon with whom we've been very pleased.

Works as described. Good quality, shrink wrapping looks good and pins feel solid.

Question: Janet is an early childhood development Guru!

We are truly blessed to have Janet Lansbury's wisdom to help guide us along this complex and at times quite challenging Parenthood journey!  Thank you Janet.  You have helped us along with your incredible insights as we navigate this unpredictable road to raising independent, inquisitive, and creative young people.  Janet has helped us understand and appreciate strong-willed children and the importance of consistent boundaries at home.  Without Janet's guidance, I'm not sure we would have the courage and focus to strive to maintain our inner-calm and confidence as Parents.  This is not an easy job and we thank you Janet.  You are a Gift!

I gave this book to my son who lost a dear work friend to suicide.  He gave a copy to  the victim's family.  Ms. Archibald is a phenomenal person and we are all so fortunate to benefit from her writings.  Thank you, LaRita.

This is the best little blue tooth speaker you will find for this price. It really does have some bass to it!

Had this item for about a month. The battery life is not as advertised. I might get about 2 days of use with minimal usage before it starts to die. Once the unit begins beeping to indicate battery life is low, the performance becomes unusable. The person on the other end either cannot hear me or says I sound like a robot and asks me to repeat myself repeatedly. Overall, it does what I need it to, but it does not compare to the built in bluetooth in my spouses vehicle.

Its got the perfect setup for stationary at home and transforms super easy into a travel case when you don't want to have to pick and choose certain pieces to wear. TAKE IT ALL! It has a sleek and modern but timeless design and will go with anything. I really love this case. Would make an amazing gift... TO YOURSELF! :)

Question: Useless Plastic Sheath, Nice weight and size

I had the earlier version of this hatchet, and it came with a nice nylon sheath. Unfortunately that one was left on a tiny island in the middle of a lake after a horrifying storm where we had to abandon our plans to get back to the island. Before a recent camping trip in the Blue Ridge Mtns I ordered this guy, which looks exactly the same to me, will cut your leg clean off and is nice and light with a durable handle. But they no longer send the sheath! It has a bulky hard plastic sheath that looks like it would be used to hang on a store display hangar. I would look around for an image of what that looks like before you order. Takes away from it's compactness when your trying to fit all that into a pack. Bring back the nylon sheath! (Mine also had a chip in the blade when I got it but I was hitting the trail too soon to send it back)

Great value. My gf will be using this everytime we go outdoors. She really likes the pink cord on the handle.

Worked with a Gateway Anykey PS/2 keyboard, when other adapters did not. But I also got one from China for $[...], including shipping, that also worked, surprisingly.

Purchased this remote after having an older Logitech all-in-one remote. Skip purchasing this remote. The one I purchased stopped working after the 90 day warranty period and now I have an expensive paperweight. Logitech can't repair it and the Carolinas-company from whom I purchased the remote from was no help.  Buy the remote new through Logitech, this will save you money and aggravation.

Question: Powerful reception even in attic.

Though it is outdoor roof antenna but I decided to install in attic and test first. My house is already wired for antenna cable so installation was no issue. I was super glad to see so many new channels all crystal clear high definition that were never caught by my tv earlier using indoor mohu leaf antenna. Best investment.

Woah... Great bass, crystal clear calling, lightweight at the cost of 15$? Why 4 stars? I gave it 4 stars because I wish the upper wiring can have a longer wire. Everything else is awesome.

Question: Do your due diligence

I asked several questions before purchasing this unit, ans was told that it would work fine on my 2003 Yamaha R6.  After receiving the product the first thing I noticed was that the clips won't fit over the large housing required for LED's.  Moreover the headlight would have to be modified to accommodate the wiring.  Not to mention that my headlights have moisture covers.  Don't expect a full refund either apparently.  No mention of that in the listing.

Very pleased to have this - my old machine has a new life.  While I am a packaging minimalist, I would have liked the filters to be packaged in something slightly more protective than the flimsiest plastic bag every produced.  Fix that, and you'd have five stars.

I am including price in my five-star review. Unbelievable for the money. Just as advertised and exactly like the photo.

Question: A Very Engaging Book on Proofs for the Existence of God

God's Not Dead: Evidence for God in an Age of Uncertainty by Rice Broocks is a book written for three types of people.  The first type is the seeker.  This person is wants to believe the Gospel but faces doubt.  The second type of person is the believer, which is obviously those who have trusted in Christ for salvation.  Finally, Broocks writes for the skeptic; those who have already determined that there is no God.  The book is ten chapters long.  The first chapter is an introduction and then the following nine chapters each convey a different proof for the existence for God.

I have read quite a few books on apologetics and I must say that Broocks has managed to write a thoroughly engaging book that taught me quite a few things.  He quite skillfully gives example after example of ways to "make a defense for the hope that is in [the believer] "(1 Peter 3:15).  One of the things I worry about when I read a book about a defense of the Christian faith is that it will have a weak gospel presentation.  Broocks gives an excellent gospel presentation in his introduction and supports it throughout the rest of the book.  I appreciated Broocks's reply to many of the common atheist arguments, such as Richard Dawkins's favorite: the comparison of belief in God to belief in a "Flying Spaghetti Monster."  While many well-meaning believers have undoubtedly spent all sorts of time trying to answer that objection, Broocks merely points out that there is no good reason to believe in a flying spaghetti monster or any other sort of mythical creature but there are very good reasons to believe in God, a thesis that Broocks proves very well throughout the rest of the book  Broocks also points out something that I have believed for years: that acts like the movie theater shooting in Colorado are more common because of "the decreasing presence of the knowledge of God in society."  Unfortunately, it is likely only going to get worse.  But Broocks is able to show that this only underscores the fact that an argument can be made from this is that the existence of good is actually a bigger question to answer than the problem of evil.

All in all, Broocks has crafted a very easy read that will equip even the most tentative Christian to share his faith intelligently.  In fact, while reading it I had some very good discussions with a co-worker of mine.  Broocks's material allowed me to answer a lot of my co-worker's questions intelligently and compassionately.  For these reasons, I give God's Not Dead  five out of five stars.

Question: Pretty good thermal mug

This mug is pretty good, mainly suffering by comparison to my more favorite Thermos product, the 16 oz Stainless Steel King Midnight Blue Travel mug (the one with the flaking paint problems). This mug doesn't keep the liquid quite as hot for quite as long as the King. More irritating, the open-closed settings aren't intuitive or very distinct from each other, so I have to think about it each time I open and close it (down is open; up is closed). It's also a bit hard to tell where to drink from, because the lid is so dark. I've discovered that one of the two lid openings lines up with the word "Thermos" at the bottom of the mug, but again, I have to look each time I sip. In spite of the flaking paint, I'm going to stick with my other Thermos mugs, which do all this mug claims to do but don't require so much thought. Incidentally, if anyone is trying to decide between the two, the flaking paint happens slowly with lots of use, and is not a problem where you sip from. It just eventually makes the mug look beat up--so my own choice is for the King.

Love this. Says to not put in dishwasher on the sticker. That is the only downside. Thick and durable tankard.
