An amazing shirt!!! I am in the Navy and wear a khaki uniform. I use to try and avoid wearing it because I sweat really bad and of course it shows through. But I tested my Thompson Tee and man did it hold up. I was at a ceremony and a reception sweating like crazy. Nothing went through. I would love it if you can maybe do the back and front of the shirt in the same material. Awesome product. Thank you.

Question: SURPASSED  EXPECTATIONS

I bought the book with low expectations because of the various reviews that i have read. But caught up in the book from the first page.
Zane's third book is about two friends, Tempest and Janessa, that are looking for that perfect man in there life. Someone to make their life complete and happy. Tempest has had troubles with men for the longest time. Every man that she has had a relationship with has ended up being Mr. Wrong. Janessa has an ex-boyfriend that is locked up in Lorton and she is trying her best to get over him. One night Janessa decides to go out to the club with Tempest and they come across two men that are very interested in them, Geren and Devonte. Tempest is very skepital of the relationship that begins to progress with Geren, and Janessa gets herself caught up some serious drama with Devonte.
I really enjoyed this book because it kept me laughing but at the same time it made me cry. I also felt like I was best friends with Tempest and Janessa and I was getting through their hard times right along with them. Even though this book wasn't as hot and steamy as Zane's other two books, I still enjoyed it just as much. It just goes to show that Zane can write a very good book without all of the erotica. Plus I'm also from Maryland(close to D.C) so i was familiar with the locations in the book.
I definetly recommend this one!

Shipped fast! Very happy with the purchase. Go LSU

Question: Great bars, who cares about the weight the vibration dampening far exceeds the pros of this component.

I purchased a bike and went from stock aluminum bars to carbon Beiou. I love the new ride comfort it provides, the angle of up-sweep and back-sweep of these bars combined with the materials are great for those day long trail system rides and exploring especially in technical terrain. And at the price point I don't think there's a better set of bars. If you're looking for a less costly solution than replacing forks and dampening some vibration this is the way to go. After a short period of time on my bike my hands became numb and I could feel fatigue setting in(usually when I rode very technical and rooty terrain though.) I don't have that issue anymore unless I'm flying down double black-diamond trails but then again I probably shouldn't be on a hard-tail.

I'm really happy with this cell  phone case. I read previous comments about the picture "flaking" off, so I put a clear coat on the picture part of the case before using it. I haven't had any problems yet.

Question: Love Michael Bennett and family

Always a good read with Michael Bennett and his crew, including Gramps Seamus, whose heart couldn't take Brian in jail. Vacation became work for Michael as his old Partner Sandy is chief. They together get their man and a lovely young lady who helped with the case.  Michael and Mary Catherine, FINALLY. Can't wait for the Bennetts next adventure

I was rather disappointed with this Pandolfini's book.  Generally they're rather instructive, presenting concepts and taking you by the hand through examples that present, support & reinforce the concepts discussed. Power Mates was different - it was "just" a collection of mating sequences from famous games. I didn't spend 5 minutes with this book. It'll be a great giveaway / door-prize at our next tournament, but it won't have a place in my personal chess library. I'm seeking more 'one on one' conceptual instruction. Attacking Chess: Aggressive Strategies and Inside Moves from the U.S. Junior Chess Champion (Fireside Chess Library) + followed by The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance was a *MUCH* better investment. I highly recommend the audio book version of "The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance"[...]
Sorry to say it, but of the 80+ books Pandolfini has written or co-authored, Power Mates is NOT Pandolfini's best effort by far. If Amazon offered my money back, I'd return the book! Reviewing mating sequences of masters & grandmasters may be your thing... it wasn't mine.

Question: An Immense Improvement

The promising thing about this series is that each installment is significantly better than the last. Not only that, but the Soul Calibur franchise has made a big influence on other contemporary fighting-genre games. For one, Namco's choice of deciding to produce SCIII on PlayStation 2 alone (instead of having to design it similiarly for Xbox and Gamecube) allowed them to fully make use of the PS2's capabilities. The first obvious change is the graphics; Soul Calibur II's graphics almost look childish in comparison to the more detailed and realistic style of SCIII. As in most fighting games, the main Story mode allows you to choose a character and fight various battles until you come to the final boss. However, the difference with this game is that (before each fight) you are given a synopsis of your character's journey thus far and why you have to fight your next opponent. This is a big change from a lot of fighting games, where you usually just take on one opponent after another, with no real explanation as to why you'd even be fighting them in the first place. Not only is the storyline aspect heightened, but you are also given different paths to take after battles; your choices will affect who you'll have to fight next. There are 25+ characters to choose from and each one has their own unique story.

The Chronicles of the Sword mode will be engaging for RPG fans. You can create your own characters and strategize battles in an ongoing war. In Soul Arena, there are also the Mission (with different objectives to complete, such as trying to defeat a certain amount of enemies within a time limit) and Quick Play (just choose a character and start fighting enemies) modes. There is also the Create a Character mode, where you can create your own characters by changing their appearance (facial features, hair, eyes, skin, clothing, etc.) and job class (which determines what weapon they use). Money that you earn from battles can be spent to unlock items; armor (clothing, including hats, glasses, shirts, skirts, pants, etc.), weapons, art (which can be viewed in the Art Gallery; finished and rough sketches of different characters and scenery), and more. The VS. mode is even more engaging than playing the game by yourself, since you can challenge friends. If they insert their memory card into the 2nd slot, they can also play against you as any of their custom characters.

There are so many features in this game, I can't even begin to discuss them all! The funest aspect of the game, overall, is the Create-A-Character feature. Once you earn money from battles, you'll want to buy all of the armor from the shop so you can make your own fighter look exactly how you want them to. Normally, custom characters look far less developed than the ordinary characters, but SCIII has the best Create-A-Character mode I've seen yet.

OMG.  so good.  wait, "good" isn't a good enough word for it----amazing!  Biggest raisins I've ever seen, best tasting too!  Tastes wonderful, I have to use restraint to keep myself from eating the whole tin!  I'm sooo soo happy that these are organic too, most grapes have a ton of pesticides on them and knowing these are organic and good for me lets me eat them guilt-free.  Good for me, antioxidants, yummy, what more could you want?  Dang I'm craving them again, gonna go eat some more after I post this...

Question: This is a great tool for someone just getting into screen printing

This is a great tool for someone just getting into screen printing. I've just started myself so I was looking for something like this to make the prints . I highly recommend this product. Now I'm looking for a 4 station for bigger projects.

This very personal story sheds light on a painful and often taboo subject in a sensitive and in depth way !
I found a powerful message of hope for people,  especially women,  struggling with compulsive sexual behavior and those who care about them.
The book is well written, instructive and easy to comprehend.

Question: My boots are awesome although I excepted them to be more comfortable

My boots are awesome although I excepted them to be more comfortable. When I where boots I wear them all day. When I'm out and about I want to feel comfortable and not think about annoying discomfort. But its not to big of a bother they fit well and the height is perfect. Color is also perfect.

Very little cushioning, especially for a walking shoe. Easy Spirit used to be an excellent product, but these are cheaply made and offer no support. My five year old New Balance shoes are more comfortable than these! I guess PROFIT is more important than quality.

Question: This is truly the greatest phone case I've ever had

This is truly the greatest phone case I've ever had, especially for the price.  I've dropped my phone so many times and it doesn't have a single crack.  I've literally punted my phone by accident as I was running and it slipped out of my sweatshirt pocket.  It was fine.  I don't know what it is about this case, but it absorbs every hit it takes.  I've had the case about a year and it just now cracked at the bottom after at least 20 thousand spills.  Perfect phone case.

I've always purchased Mr. Coffee programmable coffee makers.  The price has been very competitive and best of all,  it's height is low enough so I can pour coffee into the reservoir without spilling it.  When it broke down, I had to find a replacement immediately.  We're serious coffee drinkers, and waiting a couple of days was not an option.  I couldn't find an exact replacement, so I bought this model.  Bottom line...it's a waste of serious time and money.  1)  The water filter leaves you with watered down coffee.  2) It's so tall, I can't fill the water reservoir without losing 2 cups of water on the counter and floor.  3)  The lip of the carafe is not smooth, and creates a mess when pouring coffee.  This was such a waste of good money.

Question: Not bad, but not my thing

It was hard for me to get very deep into this book.  I think part of it has to do with how the characters talk - that is, most of them speak poorly in a way that is difficult for me to digest.  And although I am sort of attracted to the dark and murky feel of this book, sometimes it's a little too hard to follow for when I'm anticipating light reading.  These two things tend to exacerbate each other into what is, for me, problem reading.  Also, at some point, it's too real, maybe it just hits too close to home.

Would have given a high rating but I had to return one (too big) and wanted to exchange it.  No exchange, only refund, OK, so I'll repurchase it in smaller size. Went to repurchase, and the price had gone up 50% -- in TWO DAYS. So, of course refund will not cover the cost of the new shirt.

Question: You've got to like creepy.

You aren't going to enjoy this book if you are turned off by creepy stories. For me, this book was something I could not put down. I kept wanting to know what would happen next, and though there wasn't much action, I still got chills and felt my heartbeat pick up. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys hearing real-life creepy stories. It's also good to just give women a reminder of what can be out there.

Well made, good quality, looks beautiful and I LOVE the way it adjusts for length....very unique.  More necklaces should be made like this!

Question: Comfortable and true to size

These shoes are very comfortable.  I have medium to somewhat narrow feet and they fit perfectly.  The cushioned insole is wonderful for someone like me who stands alot during the day, (I'm an RN in addition to a busy wife and mom).  The material is durable and the soles are fairly non skid.  I'm glad I bought two pairs!  I will be looking for them in another color soon.

This printer is fine once you realize that the person who programmed the Menu/Settings is sloppy.  By default out of box WLAN (wifi antenna is disabled).  Pressing the "WiFi" button on the front of the printer after taking it out of the box walks you through the Wireless Setup Wizard, but it finds ZERO networks because the antenna is off.  You need to use Menu>Network>WLAN>WLAN ENABLE to turn the antenna on, then you can use this printer on a WiFi network.  Can't imagine all the wasted hours of customer support this must be causing.

I'm sure you guys know, I RARELY ever give a book a bad review. I hate doing it, I hate that I cannot be like everyone and sugar coat it when I don't like a book. I get the whole "You're an author too, what if someone tore your book apart?" thing as well. I however, am an adult. If there's a legitimate issue with my book I will look into it without a problem. I take my review writing seriously. And I won't sugar coat my opinions and don't expect anyone else to do that concerning my works.. so with that being said...
This book follows Kim Claypoole who fancies herself a real life Nancy Drew. After a couple of people in her hometown are murdered in a serial killer manner, she sets out to find out who did it, since the police have collared someone, she doesn't believe did it.
I'm almost sure this book was supposed to be a murder mystery, however, the murder mystery takes a back seat to the main character's sex life. the first 48% of the book is the main character whining and complaining about her girlfriend not returning her calls. Okay, we get the main character is a lesbian we don't need half a murder mystery pointing this fact out to us.
Another twitch worthy thing for me, is the insistence of the author to have the full names of every character every time they're brought up ("I called Bud Upton and Bob Upton called me back.") regardless of how many times it shows in a single sentence.
at about 50% in, this book completely lost my interest. I tried to finish it, but I just couldn't keep listening to how much the main character wanted to do her high school best friend while looking for a murderer.
For the record, there are only minor errors in the work, and I'm sure there's a lot of people that will enjoy it,
I however, did not.
I give this book 1 of 5 paws

Question: won't ruin my sweaters like the electric one did!

This works perfectly!  The electric one ate a hole through one of my delicate sweaters once, so I have NEVER used one again.  When I saw this, I thought it looked like something worth giving a try - and at the low price it was definitely worth trying.  Worked on my sweater and my synthetic shirts, too!!

It won't work with anything that uses the nun-chuck.  We tried everything (and even with our friend who is a techy too) and the controller would not work.

Question: Solid romantic "loss of innocence" saga

I'll start right off by mentioning that I've been a fan of the 1942 MGM film version of this novel, starring Greer Garson and Ronald Colman, for probably 20 years and have seen it close to 10 times.  To my mind the film is as perfect as any Hollywood tearjerker of the era, as perfect a concentration of the love/memory theme as can be found.

So you may not be surprised that I loved the novel a little bit less than most of the other writers here; it's pretty typical that when we love one version of a story and know it by heart that we come to another version - even if it is the original - with some baggage, and such was the case for me here.  The film concentrates almost wholly on the romance of Smithy and Paula, and the personal life and attempts to regain the past of Charles Rainier.  It greatlly shortens and simplifies all of the extra-romantic material that is a large part of the plot of the novel, in particular the Kitty subplot and the story of Charles rebuilding his family's financial empire; it eliminates the character of the parson and Smithy and Paula's time in London altogether.

Thus one of the central themes of the novel - the disillusionment of much of Britain after World War I, the inability to cope with the destructiveness and hatred of the war - and the subsequent craving for peace that led to Chamberlain - is minimized in the film.  I suppose that concentrated, more pure love story is what affects me, and too the novel's lack of characterization of Mrs Rainier until the very end unbalances it a bit, I think - one sees everything from Charles' perspective, but he is matched in his loss by another.  I don't want to say more and spoil either the film or the novel for anybody; suffice it to say that they are different birds in many ways, the novel writ on a larger canvas and with more to say about English society, and an allegory about loss of innocence and lack of purpose in life that mirrors that of the country as a whole.  If you feel that that part of the novel works a little better than I did, perhaps it will be 5-stars for you as well.

But these criticisms aside, the book is clearly and plainly, though evocatively written, and Hilton's seeming ambivalence about politics and pacifism ("Lost Horizon" 8 years earlier was most definitely a more pacifistic and also optimistic book) is fascinating and generally compelling; and the ending of the novel matches that of the film in power, and perhaps even genuine surprise for the first-time reader who knows the story not at all.  It's absolutely wonderful, and certainly helps elevate the work into something that should be remembered - if perhaps not quite, for me, a masterpiece.

I feel so much safer walking my dog at night with this leash.  The tape is strong and I am confident he won't break loose from the leash even when he tries to drag me around. I've tried so many knock off varieties of a Flexi leash but there is no substitute for the name brand.  Leash retraction and the brake button can't be matched with the knock offs.

Question: if you are easily spooked, don't read this book after dark

just a head's up:  if you are easily spooked, don't read this book after dark.  I have read and enjoyed King, Koontz and various other horror writers, and this book is worthy to stand next to any of them.  My stomach was in a twist the whole adventure.

Book was a gift, but my girlfriend liked it very much. Recommended for those who liked Tina Fey's Bossypants book, for sure.

Question: I lost my faith in Apple,

Yes I like the features, the looks, everything, but I can't give a good review due to a major material problem- breathing on the unit will cause scratching. Apple should recall these units and put on a scratch resistant coating. My Quick start guide said nothing about putting on gloves and a mask to transfer to a protective case. I did not use my Ipod till it was in a hard case, yet I have scratches. The black is sleek but if you put it in a clear skin you lose the look, put it in a hard case and it's no longer thinner than the 4th generation.

I am 67 years old studied lot of Electronics and Computer books starting from good old Electronics Made Simple and Inside IBM PC by Peter Norton etc., I am also a fan of ELEKTOR and have collection of their ELEKTOR magazines Published from day one (Issue Number One, their very first issue).
Mastering Micro controllers:
Though the title says Mastering Micro controllers, it does not cover even 10% of the topics to become master. Arduino Cook Book is much much better than this. Fixed the price as $50 using ELEKTOR brand image but inside the book, nothing of that sort and the chapters are not at all consistent and continuous.
Not written keeping the readers in mind.

The large one is probably huge like a size of a regular notebook. It is a bit heavy to carry but I never regret buying this Item.

In a time where hope is being withered away by politicians (especially one in particular), Dwight Okita's sophomore effort in THE HOPE STORE is one to embrace.  Okita manages to translate his poetic gift to the medium of novel writing with great ease.  He has a knack with dialogue and creates characters with empathy and humor.  He has done this before in his freshman novel. THE PROSPECT OF MY ARRIVAL, which is a stunningly original piece of writing.

Question: Great for really narrow feet.

So far I'm madly in love with these shoes. I use them on the treadmill and my feet don't feel like they're going to break apart after a workout. So far, I'm up to a very brisk walk (hoping to work up to a jog) with a 15% incline.

I bought a 12 narrow. I have always worn a 12 narrow with New Balance. So if your feet haven't changed much, whatever size you were wearing with New Balance before you'll probably wear with these. I have extremely narrow feet, and these shoes are a lot more snug than NB's regular narrows. I love it! It's nice to wear athletic shoes that actually fit.

I will definitely buy another pair when these wear out.

Question: This is not a strategy book. This is a self-help book

I've read most of the already existing reviews. I think that there are some valid concerns. I also think that some people have this book wrong, which is why I think some of the reviews are overly low/negative.

I will be honest. I COULDN'T WAIT TO BUY THIS! In case that you don't get it, I really wanted this book. Initially, I was disappointed by it. I was expecting 48 LoP or 39 SoW. Since I was expecting a book following these models, I was disappointed. HOWEVER, as I read this book, I came to realize that this didn't have to do with strategy but about self-help.

I own a few "self-help" books. I own the original and the modernized versions of "Think & Grow Rich" as well as Keith Ferrazzi's book "Never Eat Alone." What I don't like about more traditional self-help books like T&GR is that you have to read the whole damned book to get the "secret" and the book is purposefully written to be vague to accomplish this purpose.

This book was anything but that. It was very accessible. There isn't one "secret" but quite a few. I couldn't stop reading it and I imagine that I'll reread it again. If you go into it understanding that this is a self-help book and not a strategy one like Greene's previous works, then you won't be disappointed.

For those people that called this uneven because of the writing style, they do have a point. I noticed some editing mistakes. In addition, I think that Greene's style was a little "dumbed down." The thing that we need to keep in mind is that this is a different kind of book. Having said this, I would definitely recommend this book. No, there isn't a 49th law (I get this question a lot) and the packaging is rather cheesey. HOWEVER, this is still a good book. I feel that in time, many people will come to see this.

Great product, easy install, smooth transition! Thanks!

Question: and I did not like the sound quality

The speaker was bigger than I expected, and I did not like the sound quality. It was over priced.

Nicely adjustable. Easy to remove without tools, while keeping alignment. Great at night. A bit dim if you are using it in bright daylight against a bright sky. pretty design. Fits on the same bracket is original red dot celestron.

A few months later, I've decided to remove it and put a telrad in instead. The telrad has three circles instead of two, and the inner one is small enough to make alignment much more accurate. It also is more stable. The calibration happens internally at the mirror level, instead of moving the chassis, so it keeps calibration better if bumped. I also found the celestron to flex too much. The one downside of the telrad is that it is too dim for daytime viewing, but for night time viewing it is the best of this type of scope...except that it is "ugly," if you care about such things

I received this pair of slippers from Amazon after trying on a pair in our local store that supplies Old Friend products. They didn't have my size, so I tried Amazon and there they were! They are warm, comfortable and sturdy - just right for a winter night or cool morning. Love them!

I've had at least 4 Curt Hitches which I've installed myself on Transit Connect vans and even a Smart Car.  They're all great and easy to install, and use the factory mounting holes.  Bought this for my 2017 high roof EXT length Mercedes Sprinter Van (with factory step bumper) and it works fine.  I didn't have time to install, so I just took it to a local auto repair shop and they charged me a couple hours for install time.  The instructions say you can install in a half hour, but I've never had one done in less than an hour.  Plus another hour to figure out which of my 4 boys have my tools in the trunk of their car.

Question: overall great purchase!

very heavy to lift and the hooks are hard to hang things due to them being so close to the shelving. overall great purchase!

We've had a Shark in our home now for several years.  In fact, we have two; one in the basement rec room and one on the main floor.  In the time since we bought our first one, we have broken one handle, and ordered a new one to replace it, with no problem and no whining.
It makes a perfect gift.  We have purchased three more for our children.

Question: The packaging/bag was nice and fancy

Heard about these rocks from a friend so I decided to get them for my husband for Christmas..... What a hit!!! He loves them! The packaging/bag was nice and fancy. He has already used them and is so happy I got them. No more watered down drinks!! Thanks this is the best idea!!!

This case was beautiful when it arrived, but became dirty and scratched very quickly and ultimately lasted only 5 months.  I had to remove the bottom portion of the case to plug in the aux cable in my car and it cracked after awhile.  Additionally, this case didn't do a great job of protecting my phone. I have a glass screen protector and it is cracked in multiple places and chipped on the edges (mostly because the bottom part of the case is broken).  I do drop my phone a lot, but I've had much better luck with other cases.

Question: Basic set of stainless steel measuring spoons

What you see is what you get. This is a basic set of stainless steel measuring spoons. This is exactly what I wanted and it is exactly what I got.  Was a good purchase.

I cannot imagine how someone lives through all the trials and heartache described in this book.  I cried for Ishikawa's family and all the people who had experienced a form of freedom only to have it taken away.  Living with the threat of starvation.  I will not take for granted freedom, and the basics for life. These people had less than needed to stay alive. This is a hard story to tell and to read.  Please read. The message given through his life is important!

Question: Harlan spent a good portion of his childhood with his grandparents

McFadden did her research and wrote a compelling story about the life of Harlan.  From the moment of conception, Harlan was destined to live an extraordinary life.  Harlans life was filled with triumphs and defeats, but he lived a remarkable life.

Born during the time when blacks were migrating north, Harlan spent a good portion of his childhood with his grandparents.  However, there came a time when Harlan had to go live with his parents, Emma and Sam, who decided New York, would be their settling place this time.  With the background of music, parties and friends, Harlan was exposed to the brilliance of Harlem and before long Harlan was engulfed in the music.  He also found himself into the women.  His charismatic way and good looks kept the girls flocking to the musician, even though he was only after a good time.  With his own band, Harlan left some broken hearts behind in Harlem to go to Paris.  Timing was before the Nazis took over many countries and put those against their beliefs in concentration camps.  Harlan found himself a prisoner for several long years and even when he returned home he was still a prisoner to the pain of his incarceration.  With a multitude of characters, readers are taken on a journey of Harlans life and the history of our world and through McFaddens eyes we are left with an indelible reminder what good prose and great story can do.

I savored every moment of this story.  I mean when I saw the book club had received it as a review book I actually screamed with delight.  I took my time reading the book so I could absorb the nuances and actually feel as if I was living through these compelling times in our history.  The story is made up of events.  I found some characters to be well-developed, whereas some characters that seemed to be pivotal seemed to have gotten lost and never to be heard from again.  McFadden puts the reader into the story with her prose and pacing.  However, I will say there were instances which were brought up and never concluded and honestly I felt the ending seemed rushed where the beginning the author took her time to pull the reader into the story.  Yet, this is a wonderful story and will make for a great book club discussion.

I was so excited to receive this item and it came broken in the package. Cheap plastic. Easily broken if dropped.

Question: Great to entertain my Labrador Retriever and keep her from eating too fast!

Very good and durable product made by Kong. I have a 55 lb Labrador Retriever. This toy keeps her entertained and forces her to eat slower. I feed her Royal Canin Medium Breed dog food and it is the perfect size for this toy. The Labrador Royal Canin dog food is larger and more difficult for dogs to eat with this, as it is difficult to get it to come out through the opening (my dog once simply gave up and left a bit it inside the wobbler!).
I have had this product for quite some time now and she has not managed to crack or break it!

this is exactly what I was looking for and the price was reasonable.  good quality and very easy to assemble

Question: Fit just fine after I removed the insoles

Size 13 ordered. Too tight. Fit just fine after I removed the insoles.

This stylish outdoor seating set looks more expensive than it was. It has a lot of pieces to put together, but it went together easily (minus a couple of offset drill holes, not too big of a deal) had decent instructions, and while the materials are lightweight, they go together firmly, and it looks nice.  I'm am really glad I purchased this. The seat back is a little low, so this is a great conversation set, but not so great for reclining. The pillows are holding up well and clean easily. The throw pillows were a nice addition and the color really pops in a modern way. Would buy again.

Question: useful book. Can you be disciplined enough to follow ...

A solid, useful book.  Can you be disciplined enough to follow it consistently?

This is the first Charlie Parker story that I have read. It
was an unique story. One that I was not expecting but
could not put down.
Charlie Parker who is a former policeman. He is hunting
the killer of his wife and daughter. Charlie is now a private
detective who works with two partners, Angel and Louis.
They are known for fighting the darkness and for being
very dangerous.
In this book, ex-convict Jerome Burnel is out on parole.
He had been set up and set to prison where he was brutally
beaten. He believes his enemies are still in pursuit of him
so he tells his story to Charlie. Then Jerome vanishes.
Charlie is going to find him. He will have to go up against
the Cult community and the Dead King.
Thrills, chills, dynamic characters keep you on edge
making for a interesting read.
This is book # 14 in the Charlie Parker series. It can be
read as a stand alone.
Thank you to Net Galley and Atria for the eBook. My
opinion is my own.

Question: Wonderful Metal Sheet!

Love, love, love this metal sheet! It is very easy to remove the marker line with a little alcohol on a paper towel. The metal arrives in a fantastic white envelope, encased in cardboard. The envelope is resealable, making it a great place to store the metal. The sheet is beautiful and shiny. I got it at a great price, it arrived super fast, and I haven't received 20 annoying emails asking me to review the product (before even the Flash would have had time to use it!). I purchased several different gauges of varying metals from this seller and can say I will definitely buy more metal sheet from Integrity Beads - I am really happy with the product and overall transaction. Great purchase!

What a second book!

I'll be honest that I was fine with the first book.  The author has some interesting characters and the concept was neat, but I didn't feel there was enough about the rest of the world(s).

This book gave me a look into the different world(s) from outside of the main city and really started to setup a lot of the lore.

It was also nice to see familiar faces returning in this novel and see what they have been up too.

The biggest complaint I have is that the book ends on a cliffhanger and I need to know what happens next.  So please finish the next book soon!

Question: Helps sore little hands

These grips are great, they help my little ones sore little hands.  She loves them and even shows them off at school.

A very disappointing read.  The cursing is funny for awhile, then you hardly notice it.  The book has no point--The only thing you learn about Cursing Mommy is that she has a great heart under all that cursing.  I feel outraged that I paid good money and read the whole book only to find that there is no story, there is no plot.

I will have to read other less challenging works on evolution and Neanderthal history before reading this again.

It has left me with more questions than answers but that's not a totally bad thing for the curious mind.

Question: Got a defective one: Humming all the time at any settings.

I'm a singer...Just hooked it up, (I'm a technology kid as well) anyways, I hooked it up correctly, heard the mic on play back, didn't touch any button or knob, just a bit on the input and output and I heard a terrible humming noise via Audacity Sound software. Eventually I heard it on playback via headphones. I must have gotten a defective unit which is sad because I really had high hopes and high hopes of making my singing covers sound better/warmer. Hope that my exchange that I get in a week or two works perfectly... I have a tight budget but come on don't fail!!!

I thought that the book was a good read for kids
and I will be recommending to my friends and family

Greenhouse gardening can make your home look elegant and it could also be a potential source of income by growing flower/tropical plants. This book talks a bit about the history of greenhouse gardening and what it is, assembly of greenhouse, choosing the plants, controlling temperature, humidity, air ventilation...etc, growing the plants and more. Overall, good introduction to greenhouse and gardening.

Question: Does not look boring and works great

Does not look boring and works great. I love charging hubs. I have so many electronics that charging hubs are great. I like that this one is not a boring box that most are I also like that the grass can hold up your phone. With the case on my Note 5 however does not fit in the grass. If I take the case off my phone it works great. My tablet also fits great in the grass. My note 5 is a pain to charge even with a fast charger it charges slow. With this when I plug it into 2.4amp USB hole and it is really great and really fast. My tablet goes into the other 2.4amp USB and I'm a happy camper.  I also really love the suction cups on the bottom of the hub. I travel a bit in an RV sometimes the road gets a bit bumpy. Stuff will slide around with this I don't have to worry that the USB charging hub is going to be sliding around.

I received this grass hub for a discount in exchange for my honest review.

The watch is very nice looking and light weight for it size. The down side I read the instruction and reread the instructions and could not get the watch to work correctly. The instruction state the second hand its supposed to go to a certain area it didn't when setting it up. I set the watch manually then after a few minutes it would reset automatically and was off 7 hours and I had it set to the right zone. If the watched worked like the instruction stated it would have been great. The watch and instruction are not user friendly.

Question: I love Merrell shoes, anyway

The best pair of shoes I had for work and play were from Merrell. They lasted a long time, didn't lose their comfort wear for almost a year (working as a bartender, and then going out with them, too) and they looked good the whole time. Why did it take me so long to get another pair? These are really cute, great with jeans, cute with skirts, and they are SO COMFORTABLE. I just wore them around the block and I can tell they'll barely need any breaking in. Also, they fit well: not small, not large, fit as they're supposed to. 7.5 M and they are great.

OMG, stay away!  The fabric is SOOOO cheap and shiny!  The jacket is for petite people.  I am 5'7" and weigh 138lbs.  The jacket site way too high on the waist.  Not a normal fit whatsoever but aside from that, it is so cheap and cheaply made.  The button holes are too small for the buttons and the fabric feels like thin plastic!

Question: This case is amazing for the price

This case is amazing for the price! Many features, I used a modular power supply so I only need the cables necessary...you can run the cables along the side then pop out where you need them...results...very clean build with no exposed wires! Here's a picture of my build. Best case for the price, PERIOD!  I recommend this case for novice and experts wanting to build their fiancee a computer, just to keep them off yours!  Laughs... That's what I did...

This sander is poorly designed. With only 4 small screws attaching the sanding plate to the occillating plate the design is just inadequate. The plate attachment points disintegrate. After replacing the pad twice after they came loose I've just given up and thrown it away. Too bad. It worked well for a few months. I expected more from Dewalt.

Question: Okay - Definitely Not Amazing

I have two sets of these sheets, one for my personal bed & another in the exact same color as a gift for my mom.
  The good: They are soft, I wouldn't go as far as silky. They don't hold on to odors & smells. They wash nicely with absolutely nothing other than water, I haven't tried woolite nither has my mom since there hasn't been a need quite yet.
  The bad: Single sewing on all seams. Only 2 pillow cases, but not surprising at the price. The pillow cases are definitely not square. I'm honestly not sure if this was done on purpose or if it's really just off. Some people said they pill, but I haven't had the issue maybe from what their night clothes are made of and the two fabrics rubbing together?
  I have seen bamboo sheets go for up in the 200 dollar range. I know the company who makes my egyptian cotton sheets makes bamboo one's as well. For the price it's okay, but I wouldn't repurchase it. I only got these for my mom because she was having a hard time finding sheets to match her new comforter set.

The type of material and the amount of LED's inside the tip makes this product worth putting on the back of your exhaust pipe. I did this as a joke and found it a great project to do with my dad in our spare time.

LED's: the blue LED's are extremely bright at night time, and so far no cop has pulled me over (it's been a month and i've driven by multiple).
Exhaust Tip: Will not rust, easily attaches to any given pipe that is the right diameter. Be aware that you might have to modify your stock pipe if it either sticks out too much, or the pipe points down (which was my case). I cut off an inch or two of pipe until it was straight under the car, added an extension, then slipped this LED tip right over it. I then carved the bottom side of my bumper to fit the LED exhaust snug into the bumber. Actually looks great and had a fun time doing it!

I buy most of my frames from this company. I love the high quality and low pricing. They have excellent customer service as well. Great looking frames. Quick shipping. Good packaging.

I just read this book, and as I am very picky about my reading material, I liked it despite others' cutting complaints about it. The book is after all, about SEAN, NOT LOTR. He did a good job on the book and is a hard worker just trying to realise his dream (lofty as that may be). Don't be a sheep....read the book and decide for YOURSELF if it was worth the price. It was nice to read about the PRE-LOTR Sean Astin.

Question: perfect size for meal prepping

Now I've gone through about 4 sets of containers now. My favorite are Rubbermaid but I do a lot of meal prep and want something that will fit neater in my fridge.
these containers stacked very nicely. The lids have a little rubber lining on them the hemp helps prevent any leaking they are the perfect size for storing different proteins fruits veggies etc. very excited about this projectand will certainly update with pictures once I do my meal prep for the week:)

I just ordered another set where they felt so cheap and flimsy.

Now with these the they are not very thick  but sturdy enough. I plan to only use these in my fridge to store prepped meals.

I think bc of that little lining in the lid the able work well for travel. I will update of course if my opinion changes. So far very  happy.

Question: Not a No Pull harness

While I'll admit I did not read the product description , calling this a No Pull Harness in the title is Very misleading . I do enjoy the ease of putting this on my dog, but please stop misleading people by calling this a no pull harness .

This is one of those stories that has been on my "To read" list because of how popular it is, and how often the gist is re-told in various formats. I did not really enjoy it because there were many areas where it just dragged on and nothing really happened. When looking past the areas that dragged, the story is interesting and I feel terrible for poor Dorian and how weak and malleable and naive he was in his youth, but I just do not like the way the story was written.

I really enjoy this desktop charger. I have it plugged into and sitting on top of my night stand. I have had every port connected to a device and they all charged flawlessly the orange cool too. I'm looking to get another one to have plugged into and on my computer desk to charge my devices while there too. The only addition to this would be a small LED indicating power. The outlets in my room are controlled by a light switch and from a glance I cannot tell if there is power or not connected.

This Charger was purchased with a Discount for a review.

Question: Gladwell hits home again

Our view of so many things is warped by the astigmatism of our culture; this allows us to say things like "the only thing that can stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun" and have half of us nod along like drowsy parrots. (Other things that can stop a bad man with a gun: another bad man with a different gun, a croquet mallet,a net,a heart attack, a puddle of oil, a swarm of bees, an attack of conscience, the voices in his head saying something different,etc.) Mr Gladwell gets the lenses out and corrects our vision once again.

Question: These watch bands are great. My son has been through so many different ...

These watch bands are great. My son has been through so many different bands with his watches I just didn't know what to do any more. When I got this set of four bands in the mail I was very happy to see it comes with extra watch pins. The bands are well made and very easy to put a watch on to. The material is very durable. My son has actually been able to save all of his watch pins thus far. All I did was slide the band right into the pins. I didn't even need to pull the pins out. I like the back flap so the back of the watch doesn't touch your skin. Over all these are great. I love that he has the option of switching out the bands to the color he would like to use for that day. I have a size 7.5 wrist and after putting it on my wrist there were still two holes left. I personally like a little more extra to tuck it in but this is for my son who has a size 5.5 wrist so it works great.
I purchased these at a discounted rate in return for my honest unbiased review. Regardless of the discount I received i feel the asking price is great if not a little low.

The belt works great..the colors are what I wanted. Hoping the buckle will last..there are two...So far , very nice. Easy and comfortable. Nice thick webbing , not like the others i've seen.

Question: I like Magicjack and it works well

I like Magicjack and it works well, considering your internet has to be working and you need electricity (like with every Voip). Their customer service is really bad, though. It is confusing when you have to import your number. We made a mistake when we installed ours at home and had to pay $10 later on to import the number. We bought another one for my parents and my husband contacted a costumer service representative the second time to avoid making the same mistake. Guess what...?! Yes, the representative made the same mistake and then they could not fix it. The only choice left was top return the box to the Walmart and start all over with a new one or pay $10 again. Do not expect credits from them. Also, you will need to pay about $5 more to be able to access 911.

You can actually sit there and watch them fly in.  Does a great job.  Completely eliminated my pantry moth problem.  Other products always left stragglers that eventually multiplied.  Put this out and wait a minute.  You will see the moths being attracted to it.  Fantastic product.

Question: SILENT WITNESS/MICHAEL CUDLITZ

Huge Michael Cudlitz fan.  Have been trying to find this movie ever since one of his fans suggested I watch.  This movie was part of a TNT Mystery Movie Night series.  At the time Michael was also on the TNT cop drama Southland.  He is an awesome actor that never disappoints with his abilities, his enthusiasm, and genuine love of acting.  If you love a good mystery with good acting (other actors also very good) then this would be an excellent choice.  This made-for-TV movie is good enough for the big screen.  With the constant twists and turns from the who-done-it aspect........never a dull moment with an amazing ending.  I thoroughly enjoyed.

This is not really a slam on the product. We have picky birds and they don't seem to like this food as others we have given them.

Follow installation instructions to the letter to get all dust and smudge marks off BEFORE you install. I missed a small bit and had to pull the protector up in a corner to get the grit off. My tablet's screen was beginning to show signs of 'blurriness' in places but after installing this screen protector it's like a brand new screen. I am seriously impressed!

I only wish it was a little more user friendly but still...pretty darn good for the price and for an amateur like myself.

Question: Solved and expensive issue very ecnomicaly.

Solved my 12v 24v issue between standard tow vehicles and military truck

A very impressive figure! Much bigger than my dog and nearly 8 month baby. And definitely much better than it looks on the pictures. My only complaints which are just minor issues: (1) the detail on the wrist sleeves and sides of the upper torso is not as accentuated as other smaller figures which is an important detail to show more of the costume (2) the arms look a bit small for the figure's body (3) the head does not move up and down which would be a problem if you would want to pose him as if he was flying (4) aside from the head it's also limited in articulation in arms and legs in which would have been nice to bend so that he can do the Superman fists firmly on sides of waist pose we know and love (5) and lastly the eyebrows are a bit too big and close together. If you can put aside those issues than I recommend buying this amazing figure which is an amazing display piece and a good cloth-like cape is a bonus instead of those plastic capes.

Question: Something is missing??

I'm about to buy a battery for a 1956 Ford Thunderbird I'm rebuilding....its an odd size and the photo in the add makes me think this battery is a perfect fit.....but darn it anyway..............somebody forgot to add the dimensions in the add.
  Thus, without my ever buying the battery this customer is less than pleased with Amazon for allowing such a poorly written add....................Add does not say this battery IS or IS NOT a car battery.....the add and photo are both misleading and why are no dimensions given?  Seems dumb to me!

Based on other reviews i knew the point toe would be narrow. I ordered my regular size 7, it fit fine. If you have wide feet I recommend going half size bigger, at least.

Question: Great packaging, easy installation, but fatal flaw.

I really wanted to like this screen protector! It came with all of the needed materials to clean the phone very well before application. Applying the screen was not as difficult as I had expected.

The problem is that the "recently used apps" button was non-functional after I applied the screen, and the "back" button was about 50% functional.

I bought two screens just in case I mucked up the installation. After re-applying the first screen several times without resolving the problems, I applied the second screen I purchased and had the exact same problems.

I'm very disappointed that this product had these problems, as it otherwise worked very well. I will look for a different brand of screen protector.

I would not purchase this product again, and would advise others not to purchase this product.

Disclaimer: My mother-in-law spoiled her sons by making them homemade pasta any time they wanted it.  It was only when my DH went of to college that he had to experience the horror of boxed pasta.  Over the years he has realized that even the best of wives does not make homemade macaroni after a long day at work, and that he needs to eat boxed pasta.  (arrrgh)

But there's boxed pasta and some stuff that calls itself boxed pasta that is decidedly inferior.  DeCecco is about as close to homemade as you are going to get without making it yourself.

The spaghetti is a nice, mid weight string of pasta, with a good texture, bouncing back a bit when you bite it, and having a firm semolina texture. Little or no starch bleeds off in the water, and the pasta only absorbs enough to be cooked, no mushy macaroni here! Each variety has a preferred cooking time; if you follow that with a timer, you'll always be right.

This spaghetti is a little pricey in the grocery store, which has to buy it from an Italian importer in relatively small quantities. Because of its price, it's unlikely that it turns over quickly and you aren't likely to get the best DeCecco around. The DeCecco Spaghetti from Amazon must turn over very quickly, because I always get very fresh product for a much smaller sum than in my market. Having to buy five boxes is no hardship for us -- we could buy three times that and still eat it all up in no time.

If you haven't tried imported Italian macaroni, do yourself a favor: buy a case of this spaghetti and treat yourself with the lightest sauce you have.  Put a teaspoon of virgin olive oil in the boiling water to minimize sticking, and cook for the exact length of time suggested on the box.  Add sauce as soon as you finish draining.

You won't believe that this is the same kind of food that they sell as macaroni at your local market. Be sure to make plenty for everyone.

I have a galaxy s7 edge. I guess it protects the phone screen but the protector has cracked in two places. One crack has a small piece out of it on the edge right where my thumb touches when holding the phone. I know the phone hasn't been dropped so I am not sure how the cracks could have happened but I really expected it to last longer than 2 and a half weeks.

I wanted a camera for my garage in an apartment building. I bought this and ran it with a USB extension cable from inside the garage and put it above the garage door. I didn't need the light bulb adapter that comes with it because the common area is well lit, and the video quality at night is pretty good! The app is simple to use and the device gets the job done well. Im planning to buy another one for the front door.

Question: Great and afordable design

I use the Ringke SLIM case for both my iPhone and Samsung S5 the case is reliable affordable and good looking!

This is a great book for any middle school level students. It is definitely a page turner- i read the entire book over a course of three days. The three main characters move into an old house with a neighbor who is just a little bit more than nosey. The book had a lot of details that made it come to life. The characters grow throughout their journey in the story and they learn many valuable lessons. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a book that you will not want to put down. Overall, this was a very quick but very good read!

These little leather credit cards were better than expected. Hi quality leather and durable plastic on the interior. I bought 2 and use both everyday. I will probably be buying more as gifts. Perfectly compact and hold everything I need them too. They came in lovely, sleek black boxes and arrived on time. The latch allows for it to expand (with 2 snaps) if you fill them completely like I did.

Question: excellent for extending battery life

This product is really great for extending the battery life of the ipod. I use my ipod for recording my lectures in university, which drains the battery fairly quickly. With this case and battery, after I record a 1.5 hour lecture, I plug my ipod back into it, go across campus to my next class (which is about 10 minutes away) and the ipod is not fully charged, but it's ready to go again for another 1.5 hour lecture recording.

I can use the battery this way for a few days before having to recharge it, which is great because I always forget to charge my electronics anyway.

I love the flexibility this extra battery life offers, for video watching, listening to movies, playing games, or recording lectures!

I have only a few small issues with the case:
The pass-through plug at the bottom, which is used for syncing the ipod as well as charging the case and the ipod, does not support my iTalk microphone. It appears to work, like I can start recording a lecture, but the microphone picks nothing up. This forces me to be taking my ipod out every lecture, and plugging it back into the case and battery between lectures.

The silicone is a little thick for the click-wheel and it takes several tries to get it to work.

Novelist Mingmei Yip opens a window of examination to the culture and traditions of Eastern religion in her book Petals From the Sky:  Between Devotion and Surrender lies a World of Discovery.  Main character Meng Ning at the age of thirteen years old confronts her supposed destiny to becoming a Buddhist nun, but as one reads the first few passages of the book, she is not alone in determining what exact path she must take.  It is the people, her family and friends, especially her mother, boyfriend Michael Fuller, nuns Yi Kong and Wong Dai Nam, and others she meets during her journey that helps her to deeply question what she really wants out of life.  With the fortunate experiences outside of her traditional Chinese culture and customs that take her away from her country to other parts of the world, Europe and the United States, this plays an essential part in her attempting to understand and determining what decision she will eventually make by the end of the novel.

There are several interesting aspects about Petals From the Sky that may draw readers to the storyline that shows that the bridge of understanding between Eastern and Western traditions continues to be told through the art of fiction.  Mingmei provides the cultural backdrop but adds more dimension to that element as it relates to ethnic and gender boundaries within the Asian experience that deal with sexuality that have often been taboo or somewhat reserved within conversations or have been quaintly narrated in Chinese classic literature, The Dream of the Red Chamber, that Meng Ning refers to throughout her ordeal; she does a good job presenting those issue within the story, especially with specific chapters that involve Meng Ning's relationships with her mother, Yi Kong, and Michael's former fiancé Lisa.  Meng Ning discovers that the path towards the nunnery is more than living a carefree life filled with poetry and mysticism where she has challenges that must be confronted before she could fully commit her life to that particular lifestyle that her mother had wisely suggested and warned her about.

Petals From the Sky is a thought-provoking story that is filled with unpredictable moments that may have readers wanting to read the next page.  However, it is one of those stories that may appear to be slow in the beginning but gradually builds by the middle and concluding chapters because of the suggestive themes and issues that are not specifically mentioned but are presented within the characters' dialogues.  Indeed, one must read carefully in order to find out what is happening between each character, but otherwise, this is an informative novel.

Question: This made great texture pasta form vegetables and works well

Much larger spiralizer than others I've tried which means you don't have to small cut vegetables to begin. The plug/cap means you can use more of each veggie without harming your fingers too. This made great texture pasta form vegetables and works well. It comes with a brush to clean it which is helpful too. The four blades can be removed and interchanged to mix up the "pasta" shape.

I received this in order to facilitate a review. No compensation was taken and all opinions are my own.

The book you buy is not what you would expect due to the absence of the description of the author's purpose in writing the book.  Presented as an intriguing time travel book, instead it was the author's attempt to sell us on his savior.  I wouldn't have a problem with that if it wasn't for the blatant insults at any other religion than his, and the fact that nowhere in the description of the book are we led to believe that the author has a hidden agenda.  You want to save me?  How about starting with saving me $6.99?  The dishonest representation of the product is a con job because the book would not have sold to the general population if adequately described.  I want a refund and an apology for your shameless marketing.  Hey, Moynihan, what would Jesus think of using dishonesty to make a buck?

Question: great off-camera...slow to fire when on?

I think I'm experiencing what another reviewer mentioned:  that the flash is slow to fire when on-camera.  With my 60D and 30D set to AUTO mode, the shutter speed defaults to something pathetically --- and unusably --- slow, like a half second of exposure time.  However, the flash seems reliable in slave mode off-camera...and it fires fine when mounted on my SX40-HS set to AUTO mode.  Weird.  Overall, though, I agree with the other reviews that say that purchasing this flash is a no-brainer, especially if you're looking for a cheap slave unit.  I would buy this flash again, but am hoping Neewer tech. support can help me get it working with my 60D and 30D correctly.

I carry one with me almost all the time.  I keep it in my pack and use it frequently. Easy to set up and super comfortable.

Question: delta blues (in print)

Gioia's Delta Blues is a great read, hated to see it end. Great stories and background of the Delta and the musicians that changed America's music. It brings to light recording sessions, songs, books and people that renew interest in this genre. Be careful... it could cost you (CDs, LPs, other books,etc.)

It can be challenging to find a scratching post that is tall enough for my eighteen pound cat and also reasonably priced. This post appears to be sturdy and well made.  It was also very easy to put together. I like the dark color of the base and the darker colored rope.

Most importantly, my cat approved of the post as evidenced by his immediate and consistent use of it. The post is very stable and does not tip when he pulls up and scratches on it.  This stability is probably due to the base being very large and heavy.  I took one star off the review because the base seems almost excessively large and makes the post take up a lot of space in the corner of the room. Because of the base size, be prepared for a very large box to arrive.

Some other reviewers have mentioned that the post had a strong chemical smell. I didn't notice any significant smell coming from the post I received.

Question: Interesting, but not believable.

Jake Page's second Apache alternate history novel, Apacheria, is set in a world where the Apaches, under the leadership of Juh, formed an independent nation in the America Southwest. Although billed as a novel, Apacheria is structured as three interrelated stories set over a span of several decades. The novel's first section, set in the 1880s describes the formation of Apacheria and the birth of Juh's son, Little Spring. Subsequent sections of the novel follow Juh's family through to America's prohibition.

Page has selected a difficult branch point for his alternate history. The Apaches were in such a weak position, it is hard to see a realistic way to give them their own nation. Page is not able to do it, either. Although he begins well by making the Apaches more unified than they were in our world, he also shows the United States backing down from annihilating the Apaches a little too easily.

 Furthermore, many of the situations Page describes are not always clear. This is not simply a matter of Page describing complex scenarios, but rather this seeming inability to clearly communicate the action to the reader.

 Following the Apache succession, Page fails to examine the historical changes which would result from the loss of land and sovereignty to the Indians. Grover Cleveland still manages to win a second term of office, after being out of office for four years, despite his close ties to Geronimo, the Apacherian ambassador to Washington. Carrie Nation's anti-alcohol crusade still brings about prohibition and Teddy Roosevelt still winds up in the White House after leading a charge up San Juan Hill.

 What Page does focus on is the question of what it means to be an Apache and, by extension, any other ethnic group. The definition of being Apache ranges from Victorio's very limiting definition to Naiche's, Cochise's son who takes up with a Causcasian Woman.

 Page's portrayal of 1920s era Chicago is also interesting, although its depiction is so close to the real O'Banion-Torrio feud that this part of the book nearly doesn't qualify as alternate history.

 While Apacheria examines dome important issues, the reader is left feeling that the same issues could have been explored as well, if not better, without imposing the alternate history angle on the story. Because the alternate history aspect of the book is not written as logically as it could have been, the rest of the novel tends to suffer.

Good price for quantity. Using this product to fertilize the moss in my yard. Will purchase again in the future.

Question: VeryAttractive, not Very Big

I bought a similar set in 1992 for about the same price. These are much smaller in size (I should not have been surprised), although I hope the quality is the same--they could last forever if you don't drop them. So as bookends, they don't hold as many books as I'd hoped (my 1992 set is heavy), but they arrived very well packaged in newspaper and cardboard and they certainly are attractive holding two or three hardback books on a desk. I would order another set, so I guess that's my best review.

The optics on these are just impressive. For the money in the ease of use I highly recommend this product.  When you pick them up you can just feel the quality.  Can't wait to take them on my next trip

Question: These cans will always arrive severely dented but the contents are delicious

When buying very large cans from Amazon.com, you should expect all of the cans to arrive either slightly dented or severely dented. Large cans have more mass than small cans and become dented much more easily. If both the top and bottom of the can become severely dented, opening the can will become extremely difficult. Despite this disadvantage, the whole button mushrooms inside each can are delicious to eat and it's difficult to resist drinking the salt water inside each can because it tastes so good - as good as soup.  The whole button mushrooms in this product are too large to use directly on pizza.  You will need to slice these mushrooms yourself or better yet, purchase cans of one of Roland's smaller-sized whole button mushrooms or purchase their sliced button mushrooms.

USB power and source these are not. I bought AmazonBasics, just to find out that I had to also plug them into my 3.5mm jack. So I loose a USB port and then have to fight with the other jack. I'm lazy. Logitech S150 USB Speakers with Digital Sound I returned them and got the Logitech ones instead. These guys just plug into my USB port, so when I "dock" I only have to worry about one cable.

As for the sound. I did use them a bit while I waited for the Logitech. The sound is OK, but not the best. There was a constant humming, even when I turned down the volume.

Question: but it is such a good game! Love it

This game makes my heart run fast, but it is such a good game! Love it.

THE BIGAMIST by Mary Turner Thomson is a fascinating first-hand account of a young, single mother who is courted by and married to what can only be labeled as a catfishing sociopath. Not only does this man have no conscience, uses classic gaslighting and isolation techniques of a narcissist, but also manages to drain her bank accounts and incurr tremendous debt in the process.

Therefore, it is no big surprise that the story then ends up also being a tale of bigamy. Sort of like an ice cream sundae with nuts and a cherry on top, except decidedly less appealing and unenjoyable.

Yet, Thomson somehow shows great strength of character and tenacity by not only surviving but thriving from this encounter.

Most of the book's focus tells the tale of Thomson's online meeting of a man named William Allen Jordan. What then ensues is a wild-toad-ride-like courtship and marriage over a six year period filled with lots of grand drama, tall tales, and repeated disappearing acts.

Once she learns there's another wife, Thomson then researches and lays out details of Jordan's life beginning in his teen years to the present.

Sadly,  the sociopathic patterns are all too evident from an early age, and the picture that ultimately emerges is simply astounding. Sociopaths, generally speaking, are quite grandiose. Even though Jordan gives the appearance of a humble man, he is boldly audacious with his lies and manipulations.

Yet, ultimately this is a book about hope for survivors of this type of abuse, because Thomson doesn't spend her time wallowing in her pain. She faces the truth and resulting pain,  grieves the loss, and finds a way to move forward with her three children--two of whom are Jordan's biological kids.

Kudos to Thomson for risking the emotional exposure to go public. It has taken a great deal of courage. Many others suffering from close and personal contact with a sociopath can both learn from her experience, as well as her cautionary comments at book's end.

Question: Poor design and bad flavor

I recently bought one of these coffee makers because it had all the features I was looking for.  I wanted a programmable 12oz. coffee maker with water filter and permanent coffee grounds basket with an interrupt feature so I could pour a cup before the brewing cycle was complete.  I was really dissatisfied when I actually used it.  I wanted a 12 cup coffee maker.  This maker measures cups as 4.5oz. rather than 6oz. so it is actually a nine cup maker.  Secondly, the only way to completely empty the carafe is to turn it completely upside down. This may be an intentional design to keep the last ounce of coffee and coffee grounds in the bottom of the carafe, but it makes filling the water reservoir more difficult which is already inconvenient as has been noted by several other reviewers.  The reservior sight guage and carafe volume markings don't match either.  You have to add more water to get the sight gauge up to 12 cups.  This might also be intentional design since some of the water will be trapped in the grounds.  I liked the fact that a permanent gold toned coffee grounds basket was included but the unit I got didn't have one.  I would have to order one for $10 plus shipping and handling to get one that would fit this coffee maker.  And finally, the coffee tastes bad.  The first time I used it, I brewed a couple pots with water only, then made my first pot of real coffee.  It had a nasty, strange plastic flavor that I thought was because it was new.  I tried descaling it a couple of times with vinegar and water but the bad flavor remained.  That sort of defeats the point of having a water filter included. I will try brewing a few more pots, but if I can't get rid of that strange flavor, I will trash this machine.

Journey to the River Sea is a good story and will keep young readers interested as well as learning about the Amazon River area in Brazil.

It's true, this chair is terribly uncomfortable. It looks very nice, and as far as I've seen it's well-made.
