Constantly runs out of storage! Every time my son goes to play on it he has to bring it to me to delete things. Problem with that is that 95% of what is taking up the storage is amazon stuff not books, videos or pictures. I am very disappointed that I spent that kind of money and will end up having to buy something else soon. The parental settings are the only thing I like about it. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Question: Don't waste you money unless you just want a disposable thermometer

When using don't let any steam from your pot or food get to it.  After using for the day went to turn it back on the digital display disappeared.  I had bought four to use as back up.  Well I didn't realize they would only last a day each.  Don't waste you money unless you just want a disposable thermometer.

Good story which triggers my memory of the Hornblower series. And all the Alexander Kent books etc. Entertaining story. The characters are likable. Enough swashbuckling to satisfy that side, and in a style reminiscent of the 1800s seafarers. Despite being in space.

Question: So good I've bought a few

Enjoyed so much, I purchased the audio version for my Dad & husband, the Kindle version for my stepmom and the hardcover for me.

Sounded great at first. Loud, fabulous sound (which explains all the good reviews)... Two months later? I'm about to throw it away. First it stopped being able to connect to our iphones without having to 'Forget' the device and then re-link it every time. Then it started dropping the connected iPhone and automatically connecting to other BT-enabled iPhones in the house, sometimes while those phones were in the middle of calls! And NOW, it just randomly drops the connection and shuts itself off (whether it's plugged in or not). Amazon says it is too late to return it now, so basically I just wasted my money, which is a major loss for someone who works for minimum wage. I have kept it clean, dry, and safe on a shelf for the entire time I've had it. So very disappointing. :(

Question: Broke in half after 2 weeks of light use.

I do not have kids and did not abuse the headset. There seems to be an obvious weak point in the design. I only gave it 2 stars because other than it breaking it was a decent headset.

UPDATE:  When I emailed them to call them out on sending back non-red, refurbished drives, well.. here's is their exact quote:
" Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support.  My name is John, supervisor in the support team.
The products you were provided are re-certified and are the standard under our policy.
If you have any further questions, please reply to this email and we will be happy to assist you further."

...yep. That seals the deal for me, I will never use another WD product ever. Done.

---- initial review ----
2 of these drives died at the same time after only two months of minimal use. Since it was one month past the Amazon return period I had the pleasure of paying $25 to ship the broken drives back and wait three weeks for the replacements and guess what? WD sent me the cheaper (non-RED) NASware 3.0 drives, and they're REFURBISHED! Oh, lucky me. Yep! I lost my data, $25 for shipping, and got cheaper, lower quality replacements. Way to go WD! Never, ever, ever touching a WD product again. Horrible experience and totally ripped off.

Question: Refreshing Take on a Classic Topic

I discovered this book while reading Amazon reviews for a different book on angels by another author. (I truly love it when reviewers cite other books they've enjoyed in the same genre!)  I've read several books by a few of the leading authors on the subject of angels, spirit guides, and channeling/mediumship, and it seemed after a while that I was merely reading the same information again and again but presented in different chapter formats.  Granted, these other authors have provided a wealth of knowledge on the subject and while reading their works my knowledge and ability have grown immensely.  I bought Lysette's book hoping for something new and refreshing, and was not disappointed.

This book is an incredibly fun read, regardless of whether or not you believe that she is able to channel and communicate directly with the ArchAngels.  The opening chapters which explain her background and how she came to write this book are interesting and somewhat insightful.  I honestly enjoyed reading the chapter about life scripts, fate, and Judas because Lysette's explanations and messages were right in line with my own theories...she merely went into far more detail than I ever have.  Whether or not you agree with the chapter, it certainly provides food for thought for the reader who is willing to consider an alternative to what we all grew up learning in church or other social settings.

The profiles on each of the ArchAngels were intriguing and extremely delightful.  I found myself reading and rereading those chapters several times, lingering on details that inspired and contemplating other details that sparked curiosity and questions.  Some may accuse Lysette of irreverence, but I feel she finally makes our angelic companions more approachable and personable.  ArchAngel Michael has an excellent grasp of the modern vernacular, and knowing that he's "got your back" resonates nicely in a genre where many who meditate to connect with spirit are hindered by dogmatic misconceptions or Hollywood grandeur.  By enhancing the reader's understanding of each angel's personality, Lysette makes it easier for others to relate to and connect with their heavenly helpers.

Chantel Lysette has a refreshing, sassy style and I look forward to reading more of her works.  Whether or not you completely agree with what you read in Azrael Loves Chocolate, you can at least rest assured that it is not the same old information recycled over and over under new chapter titles.  It's definitely new, fun, and something that you may end up reading more than once just because it makes you think as much as it makes you smile.

I was extremely disappointed in how small these flamingos were. I was actually embarrassed when my sister opened this gift.  They fit in the palm of your hand!!! You can hardly see them at night and you definitely can't tell what they are.

Question: Nice looking tablecloths

These are very nice tablecloths. We had many compliments on them at our recent party. There were well made and look very classy! These look so much nicer than plastic tablecloths and can be reused again and again, unlike plastic ones. Over the long run these more than pay for themselves. Such a great purchase! Thank you!!!

A very original story that describes chaos in a very interesting and colorful way; From its followers to its worlds and artefacts. While reading you get the impression that too many new story lines are established to deal with in a single book, but in the end it all comes together. It deals with the lowliest imperial and choas servants upto the mightiest demons, and even the emperor himself!

Question: Works for what it does I have used one other same exact design.

This item needs to be installed with care and patience.  You cannot just slap it in

Heat the broken glass as your removing it gently with a razor knife.  You can use a heat gun or a hair dryer on high heat setting.

When you are removing broken glass from digitizer be careful not to scratch it.

I strongly recommend using LOCA (uv glue) to attach the new screen to the digitizer or the sensitivity and the accuracy will be slightly compromised to to lack of bonding and air between the panes of glass.  You have to Cure loca with UV light

Great product saves money love it.

I really like it!  Great, versatile protection for my iPhone 6 Plus.

Because the holes on the railing aren't 16" on center, we attached a 2x4 header above the door frame into the wall studs and then attached the rail to it.  The door hardware fits very well on our door. We bought a separate stay roller (in place of the one that was provided (I highly recommend it) and placed a second roller to hold the door perfectly straight when being moved back and forth.  I am very satisfied with this product.

These are really cute and my daughter loves the style.  The fit was true to size and they lasted her through the spring season with minimal wear.  Definitely recommend.

Question: No glare, no bubbles, thick protection

Came with a whole kit: 3 screen protectors, 3 dust tapes, 6 cleaning tapes, a cloth, and a link to the video. If you follow the video instructions, you won't have bubbles and dirt under the screen protector.

As a child growing up in Washington DC, I had the privilege of meeting Bryson Rash at the old WMAL Studios at Military Road & Connecticut Ave NW during his "Tailwaggers" show.  At that time in the late '40's early 50's, he would launch into one of his historical anecdotes which would leave even jaded native Washingtonians in bewildered awe.

This book is pure gold!  No amount of mentoring or preparation for the DC Tour Guide licensing credentials would ever reveal the pearls contained within in its covers.

For those with any interest at all in the wonderful stories associated with this town outside of mainstream tourism, this volume is a must!  Enjoy.

Question: B&D PHV1800CB cordless vac

Excellent vacuum, much better than any of the 4.8V models I've had.  Easily emptied.  A little heavy, but that's necessary for the beefy motor and battery.  Wall mounting is possible but it best sits on a horizontal surface.  Only thing missing is a long wand attachment.

I knew the edge was blunt when I ordered it. I used a large file to give it a bit of a bevel on each side and now cuts wonderfully. The reason for 3 stars is that the handle has already cracked, from top to bottom, on one side near the edge. I don't recall ever dropping it but can not say for sure. But it did happen a few weeks ago and so far the blade isn't loose. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

Question: Very happy with the item

Decent pillow for the price. Very happy with the item.

A measured improvement over the Thule Gauntlet case. Vecros are sewed on instead of being glued on the Gaunlet.

Pros:
- Nice low profile fit for MBA and Series 9
- Great build quality
- Waterproofing is a nice feature for added assurance on rainy days
- Price

Cons:
- Vecro is really loud

All in all, solid buy for the 16.99 I paid. Would pay regular price for this piece.

Question: The Starchild is holding back.

I wish I could give the Starchild's first book five stars, but I felt the pouty one held back a bit.  While Paul does reveal a lot of his personal struggles and difficult family life, I felt like his book was a bit light on some of the details between 1973-79;  I think Paul is keeping a lot of himself off of the pages of this book, so one gets a good view and understanding of his life, early days of forming KISS, their meteoric rise to the top of the stadium heap, their decline and their rise once again.  Any KISS fan will dig this book. There's some new details, but maybe we'll get all the stories and dirt in another book. Good photos of Paul and the boys.

I don't normally review my purchases, but I think I will start to now, since this spice rack came to my home and the box was full of BABY SPIDERS. I have a newborn baby and a toddler too - anyone else with little kids can understand just how thousands of BABY SPIDERS in your kitchen and dining room might make your life a lot harder all of the sudden!! For a whopping $40, Olde Thompson sent me a box filled with THOUSANDS of BABY SPIDERS!! They are all healthy and strong!! I have so much work to do to get them out of my home where my babies play!! I am beyond "disappointed" and will be sending a formal complaint to amazon. Also, about the actual product - The lids are plastic so don't think you're getting your money's worth and thinking this is a nice set with glass and metal lids. They are cheap, plastic and flimsy and the spices aren't very fragrant and smell OLD. Just as OLD as they might be if a SPIDER had time to lay an EGG in the box and then enough time passed by with it on the shelf for the egg to hatch and then be sent to ME with THOUSANDS OF TINY BABY SPIDERS!!! Thanks for the mess!!

Question: Skip this, find an actual expert

This book is just a rehash of Ferber. Call it whatever you want, it is Cry-It-Out in practice. Fyi this book also goes against the American Pediatric Association's recommendations. The APA recommends that a baby sleep in the parents' room for at least the first six months and receive only breast milk to vastly reduce SIDS. The method is not compatible to either of those recommendations.

 Perhaps this book has bad advice because the author isn't a doctor or sleep expert. She really has no qualifications other than her personal experience using CIO. Having kids isn't easy or convenient. It you want to care for something easy and get lots of sleep get a fish.

Don't Buy it!! The blades shatterred after only 2 month of use, and I only use with fruits for my baby.

Question: ... bought for my son's new room - they are good quality and great price

These drapes match the comforter set i bought for my son's new room - they are good quality and great price!

I really wanted to like this book. I usually avoid heavily political fiction, even books that agree with my political leanings. They have to be really entertaining for me to make it far in, much less finish. While this is entertaining, there is just too much wrong in order to suspend belief.

Spoilers ahead.

First off, there is a serious issue with the timeline. Things happen way too fast that would never be able to happen in America. In a very short time, the President declares certain guns verboten, then says all guns must be turned in, then puts out an Executive Order suspending the 2nd Amendment, deploys the National Guard, has law enforcement rounding up guns, then citizens are being shot, hung, or thrown in magically appearing detention centers? The main character getting into really good shape and losing lots of weight in a few days? No. Sorry.

Could this happen? With a proper buildup to provide that suspension of belief. But not as laid forth. There is no way that any of what was mentioned could happen without a long buildup. A president could not issue any orders to collect all guns, nor suspend the 2nd Amendment. Nor total martial law. Nor can a president arbitrarily call up the National Guard for domestic use in the manner described. It would take an act of Congress.

And I heavily doubt that the majority of law enforcement and military members would abide by what they are told to do in the book, nor go nuts and shoot and hang fellow Americans. More than likely, most would side with The People in support of the Constitution. You can bet those in Red States would revolt. And would Congress and state government blindly go along with all this? No. The conditions to allow this to happen were not created.

If you read In Due Time by J.K. Jones, and the After Eden series by Austin Dragon, you see those conditions created.

A little thing, they are not "clips": they are magazines.

It was a good start, but, sorry, no.

I am usually concerned that non-apple products won't work well with my apple gadgets, but this was not the case at all with this charger. It works perfect with my ipod nano 7th generation. It charges it fast too!

Bought to replace my old BB.  Fit perfectly.  The socket tool I have fit nicely into sprocket side but was a really tight fit into the nut side.  Other than that it is great.

Question: Smokin-It Model #1 Electric Smoker

This is a good little smoker. I smoked two little Cornish Hens in it and it is really quite easy to use because it is electric -- nothing can beat the grill when it comes to taste though a grill/smoker has nicer flavour in my opinion and requires your presence.

Picked up the original version of this machine back when it first came out, and being that I am Military, it soon had probably the toughest test a computer could have:  A full year in the heat, dust, and general unpleasentness that is Iraq.  In our unit there was 16 computers, this one, the only apple, was the only one to survive the 14 months.  It had been in horrid sandstorms, protected by either ziplock bags or at worse, a simple blanket.  It was in full use at 30 degrees and 140 degrees.  It was even blown up in a humvee.

Still going strong, only problem with it is a ton of dings and scratches, the lid doesn't quite shut right, and I think I might want to swap out the hard drive, for after 3 years, I imagine I am pressing my luck there with all the crap it went through.

And it isn't too big.  I've used it just fine in the economy seats of a 747 on the way to New Zealand and back, and it fit the tray table just fine.  Not very thick, and not too heavy either.  Get the Brenthaven bag and you are set.

Right now, its the only computer I use and need, excepting work of course.

You simply can not go wrong with it.

Question: Summer White Party Dress!!

This dress is super cute. It fits true to size. It is such a simple and classic look that you can dress it up or down. I wore mine with multicolored espadrilles and gold accessories, it looked great!
The material is light and airy. The skirt is double layered to give that tulip look, so it isn't sheer at all. I'd recommend wearing a nude bra with this one because the top portion of the dress IS quite sheer. The length is perfect (about mid thigh) and the thickness of the shoulder area is great for bustier girls who have to wear a bra with thicker straps for support.
If the top weren't as sheer this dress would definitely be a 5-star dress. Can't wait to purchase it in other colors!

These were so much fun. I added these to represent "blood" as one of the plagues for my PlagueBag at Passover. Kids and adults loved the novelty. I will be ordering these for next years Passover seder

Question: I absolutely love these shelves

I don't understand any of the negative reviews. I absolutely love these shelves! Had no problem assembling them, and they fit perfectly in the corner I ordered them for.  If you make sure you have the right measurements they can fit in the tiniest of spaces. Would defiantly recommend them.

Entertaining.  I would have liked the earlier history to have been fleshed out a bit more.  More history and facts blended in would draw the reader in more.  The scenes with Einstein and his contemporaries was done well and I kept wanting to Google all of them to refresh my knowledge and check to see if some were real and some were fiction.

Question: A Solid First of a Series

David Archer has written a series, starring Sam Pritchard, a cop whose long-awaited career as a cop was cut short in a hail of bullets.  Sam acquires a "recptionist, hacker, housekeeper, cook -- Indie, and her daughter Makenzie. The set up in this first book is obvious: boy meets girl, girl has an unusual skill set and is pretty, boy and girl find they like each other, solve the case and set up housekeeping. Spoiler alert! In the end they are all still together. Mr Archer's style firms up as the story revs up as he goes along., so hang in there.. I was so taken with the book, I quickly went back to Amazon and paid money to get the second in the series.

We already had one but I burned the cover hence why I brought another for my Mum, we refer to this one and keep the other in plastic.

Question: This thing is a godsend.  Highest Recommendation!!!!

I thought I was going to be out $1,000 when my furnace started making loud grinding noises and stopped heating.  After researching on the net, I bought this part.  It was supposed to arrive in two days; I got it the next morning!  Thank you, Amazon for GREAT shipping.  The part fit perfectly, no problems at all, in about half an hour, thanks to Scott Warner's great instructions.  The noise is gone and the furnace runs like new.  With the two day shipping (which turned out to be overnight), it was $54.  Way, way better than waiting a week to get a technician who would charge at least $500 and high pressure me into buying a new furnace.

Well written and I couldn't put it down.  I feel I have taken this pilgrimage through the words of the author.  I plan to purchase more books for friends.

The story line moved from Sam's awful childhood to current happenings smoothly, keeping me involved in both storylines. I did not stop reading until I finished. This is that really great read that one is rewarded with when so many tackles are submitted and discarded as boring. Loved it.

I thought it would help .  I have arthritis and muscle spasms in my neck which are chronic.  Tried it to see if would help chronic pain.

If you, like any sane and intelligent citizen, despair at the current state of our national legislature, Davis, Frost, and Cohen can either confirm your theories on how we got to this place, or explain the  political evolution for you, in a refreshingly bipartisan examination.  Davis and Frost are veteran warriors of the partisan wars, but neither is an ideologue nor cynic.  They served in the body when it was still functional, and believe that Congress can once again reclaim its place as the nation's dynamic, responsive policy-making entity.  I particularly liked their analysis of the effect of race in voting, sorting, and gerrymandering.  Good notes and research to back up their statements and assertions.  And they have some solid suggestions for change.  All that's needed is political courage, will, and the support of the electorate.  This book shows the way -- the heavy lifting is up to all of us.  Great job, gents!

Question: If you move or want a little space from your phone... look elsewhere.

Tons of connectivity interruption when my phone was in my pocket. While running, this is a super pain in the neck. Who wants choppy tunes? Not me. If you don't move and keep the phone very close, you're good.... so there's that.

I LOVE making cookies, and as a mother of 6, I bake them a lot. I was so tired of the cookies sticking to the cookie sheet and ruining the look of the beautiful cookies. My mom mentioned the silicone baking mats so I set off to look for some. These are amazing! Cookies slide right off and aren't ever burnt on the bottom! I can get about 10 good sized cookies on each one.

I'd recommend these baking mats to anyone who wants browned (not black) cookies ;)

Now to find what else I can bake on them! I'm sure anything will come out perfect!

Question: Excellent quality, great colors ...

I just love this paper.  I use it for accents on my greeting cars, and it works nicely in the die cutter (I have a Sizzix Big Shot).  The weight isn't quite as heavy as cardstock -- more like a light-medium cardstock -- but it's definitely sturdy enough for my uses.

The selection of colors in this collection is very nice -- not *too* pastel, but not too bright, either (just in case you're wondering, there is NO white cardstock in this collection).

You get 5 sheets each of 7 different colors, and at the rate I'm using this, it will last a good long time.  For the price, this is a good value.

Question: Great Intro to From the Ground Up Filmmaking

There are plenty of filmmaking books on the shelves these days, this is one of the most original, out-of-the-box books I've come across. What makes it unique is that the author has managed to write both a tale of do it yourself style filmmaking and a practical guide which moves beyond the "making of" stage to offer solid advice on Marketing and Distribution.

Kobler should be praised for his incredible energy if anything else. The filmmaker created his 30+ minute film, and then a double-disk DVD with hours of Film School videos for other beginning  filmmakers. Then he self distributed the DVD on his own web site, and did press for it; getting it covered in MovieMaker magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, and many other publications and web sites, and he also gathered positive marketing quotes from other well-known filmmaking professionals. Again, what makes this book impressive and different is that Kobler moves beyond the story telling mode and explains how he did all of this on the cheap, in practical and painstaking detail.

I also really appreciated the author's honesty about the whole process. For instance he tried to get a promotional quote for the DVD from Robert Rodriguez, and to do so, he produced an elaborate customized web site (there is a URL in the book so you can see it for yourself) and video just for Rodriguez, before asking the director for a quote. But, Rodriguez never responded. Its nice to see that with all his self made gusto this filmmaker is still willing to let his ego down and detail when things go wrong.

I think if you want a frankly written and fun tale of practical "from the ground up" filmmaking, this book is a great choice.

The first one purchased from a store popped open constantly.  This second one has decent gap along the top of the purse where it does not snap.  I'm going to see if I can find a solution before I return.

Question: Buckingham does it again...FINALLY!

After the wait after "Out of the Cradle", a personal favorite of mine and well worth looking into for any fans of Lindsey's work, people were left wondering when he'll come out with something again.

Finally he has, with "Under the Skin", and the wait is definitely worth it!

"Under the Skin" is a very intimate experience, but still has those Brian Wilson inspired studio tricks that Lindsey fans know and hope for on a Lindsey album:

1. "Not For You"-Beautiful repeating pattern on acoustic guitar drives this opener.

2.  "Show You How"-This one sounds like it could've been off of "Tusk", the rhythm pattern sounds like Lindsey beating on a chair and with somewhat beautifully tortured melody in effect.

3.  "Under the Skin"-the title track, warm acoustic sound, intimate vocals and a steady rhythm keep this one going.

4.  "I Am Waiting"-this one was an extra track on the Soundstage DVD Lindsey did, similar arrangement, but more of a spacey musical arrangement.  As with many songs on this album, very immediate.

5.  "It Was You"-another one that could have possibly been on "Tusk", echo vocals and steady rhythm that keeps you hooked.

6.  "Try For the Sun"-Lindsey's guitar playing in full effect, showing off yet again his ability to write a catchy melody with intricate guitar work.

7.  "Cast Away Dreams"-Dreamy, vocals with a steady guitar strum and instantly catchy.  Might surprise some people.  His vocals really shine on this one.

8.  "Shut Us Down"-Intricate guitar work, and steady vocals, originally appeared on the "Elizabethtown" soundtrack.

9.  "Down On Rodeo"-personal favorite on the album, loved this when it first appeared on his Soundstage appearance.  A little different sound than first heard on the Soundstage appearance, with an almost slightly country feel to the guitars to compliment Lindsey's Travis picking style.  Hopefully will be on the radio soon and will get many people into the album.

10.  "Somebody's Gotta Change Your Mind"-Kicked off the Soundstage performance and hasn't changed much since then, but really shows off Lindsey's use of vocal and melody to bring someone into his world really close, make them sit down and marvel at the production.

11.  "Juniper"-Probably the most surprising song to me on this album, but really catches your ear.  Almost a tropical feel to it slightly in the acoustic guitars, with Lindsey's voice over it, might be a grower for some people, but closes out the album nicely.

I can't fail to mention that this album with mention of tracks sounding like "Tusk", the production value is very well done.  Lindsey is gifted as ever on providing an intimate and interesting mix for those listening.

For fans of a great sounding song, you can't go wrong with Lindsey's new one.  This one is definitely all about the experience of the acoustic, and probably the best album I've heard this year, if not in a long time.

Lindsey's got an electric album planned for hopefully a release next year, so get this one in the meantime if you're a fan of Lindsey's heavier sounds, and enjoy the Now Sounds.

Very comfortable. I take a wide with and have a high instep and did not expect these to fit but I was pleasantly surprised.

Question: One of the best books I have ever read even though there were ...

One of the best books I have ever read even though there were parts that I read through tears.  An honest and vulnerable account of a heart wrenching time for the Sobiech family.  I appreciate her honesty and sharing with such a loving and caring voice,  Zach's illness and death were handled with such grace.  I came away feeling that God had a purpose for his life.  I just wish he could have been here longer. I am in awe that Laura, a first time author was able to focus and write while grieving such an unbelievable loss.  I couldn't put it down and have read it again finding new things I missed the first time.  Each time I have read I have been sad and yet filled with a sense of peace and love.  Thank you Laura for sharing your amazing son and his story with the world.

This is a very small book, in fact, really a booklet. Lots of information within, as long as you know that this is small. A little pricey, but I had to have it for my independent study class. I'm glad that I bought it for that. If I didn't have that class, though, I would try and get it from the library, or try to get it under $2.00.

Question: it was advertised to come with Connect online access and ...

it was advertised to come with Connect online access and that was the reason I bought it, access was required by my course so I had to buy it separated.

Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama (born 1952) is an American political scientist, political economist, and author, best known for his book (originally an essay), The End of History and the Last Man.

He wrote in the Preface to this 2002 book, "Writing a book on biotechnology might seem to be quite a leap for someone who in recent years has been interested primarily in issues of culture and economics, but there is actually a method to this madness... I had in any event been thinking about the impact of modern biology on our understanding of politics for some time... The terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, again raised doubts about the end-of-history thesis... What these events point to, however, is the fact that science and technology, from which the modern world springs, themselves represent our civilization's key vulnerabilities... the emergence of bioterrorism as a live threat points to the need, outlined in this book, for greater political control over the uses of science and technology."

He adds, "The aim of this book is to argue that ... the most significant threat posed by contemporary biotechnology is the possibility that it will alter human nature and thereby move us into a 'posthuman' stage of history... a technology powerful enough to reshape what we are will have possibly malign consequences for liberal democracy and the nature of politics itself." (Pg. 7)

He asks, "What should be do in response to biotechnology that in the future will mix great potential benefits with threats that are either physical and overt or spiritual and subtle? The answer is obvious: We should use the power of the state to regulate it." (Pg. 10) He notes, "it will be the political decisions that we make in the next few years concerning our relationship to this technology that determine whether or not we enter into a posthuman future and the potential moral chasm that such a future opens before us." (Pg. 17)

He suggests, "if there is a viable concept of human dignity out there, it needs to be defended... in the real world of politics, and protected by viable political institutions." (Pg. 177) He concludes, "the posthuman world could be one that is far more hierarchical and competitive than the one that currently exists... We do not have to accept any of these future worlds under a false banner of liberty... We do not have to regard ourselves as slaves to inevitable technological progress when that progress does not serve human ends." (Pg. 218)

Fukuyama's book is thought-provoking, and will be of interest to many.

Question: Nice, but not too sturdy in certain areas

I absolutely love the look of the case, but the strap that holds it closed hasn't lasted very long. It's ripped right off. I still use the case for a double sided protection and the fact that it can double as a wallet (for a card or two) but I would of expected longer use than 2-3 months for the strap.

The cards arrived  on time. They are high quality very nice. I will buy from Tobi again.

Question: Top fits perfect, bottoms still a little on the tight side

came sooner than expected (good). Ordered a XL due to I know size runs small.  Top fits perfect, bottoms still a little on the tight side.  Looks just like the picture.

Wow, what a rush. Initially, I was very concerned this would turn out to be another lame ST novel where the Enterprise would get an enormous Galaxy or Universe spanning problem, but with a few tweaks and turns, do a few out of left field improbable things and thwart the antagonist, who, despite being obviously different and much more powerful, seems to act Human. In a way, that is, indeed, what happens, but the ending somehow makes sense (Makes sense for the Star Trek Universe, that is).

The good:

 - a very interesting and well thought out enemy.
 - We get to see more of the society of the Travellers. They have abilities far beyond normal mortals, but they are no "Q".
 - And speaking of Travellers, we get to see what a grown up Wesley Crusher can do.
 - Data's life continues to evolve, for better and for worse.

The iffy:

 - A huge mega enemy, yet again???
 - The AI's seem to act very much like any one track minded evil bast**d. Where's the precision and superior mental and physical ability that we've come to expect, via observing Data?

Overall, I think they could have cut out a little, but the ending is pretty mind boggling, and seems to resemble space opera books, many of which span centuries, galaxies, or even eons. An interesting finale for the Trilogy. Now let's get back to the Typhon Pact and see the Federation crack them wide open!

Question: I loved this design but once my order was received it ...

I loved this design but once my order was received it was not working properly. I could not set date.

Well built. My work requires me to drive off-road a lot. I got stuck in a wash out  with the front right tire in the wash out and the left rear tire in the air and had to be pulled out. The weight of the truck was resting on the frame and the Latitude Nerf Bar. If this had happened with the nerf bar used on a previous truck, damage to the bar, brackets and possibly body would have occurred. When I received shipment and saw 3 heavy thick mounting brackets (instead of 2 lighter weight) I thought they were over-designed. After this incident and it happened again to the other side when I drove off a culvert, I was inspired to share. They're not just for looks.

Question: perfect for my pistol

I bought this and am using it for a pistol lock box in my office, stong enough to keep my 7 year old out and fast enough to get into. Price is good and I will be getting another one soon for other rooms. Love the box.

Seems to be good quality.  Was easy to remove links with the tool provided (and I have small wrists, so I had to remove a lot of links.). Only giving 4 stars since I haven't had a chance to wear it regularly yet.

Question: Good combination of different cultures + landscapes set against unusual historical backdrop

Nicely told family mystery with likeable characters and Lakeland setting. The explanation of events in early century Russia was simply told from an unusual point of view. Final reveAl comes pretty late in the book so you are kept guessing till the end

This is just gross.  The popcorn isn't crunchy.  It is soggy and the coating is so sugary it is nauseating.  My 4 yr old and 8 yr old even refused to eat more after one taste.  I hate that I ordered the 6 pack.  I would feel bad giving these to anyone so I guess they go in the trash.  What a huge disappointment.  They shouldn't tarnish the memory of a favorite childhood snack by using the name cracker jack with such an inedible product.  Unless you like soggy popocorn covered in grainy sugar chunks then don't bother.  If you do, congrats you have found your snack!!

Question: The story of thirteen families

Baring, Morgan, Rothschild, Ford, Agnelli, Peugeot, Renault, Citroen, Toyoda, Rockefeller, Guggenheim, Schlumberger and Wendel are the families studied. What Landes says is that businesses that are run by families are more stable and durable. Of course there are exceptions, such as Ford. It is a theory that makes the author. Interesting as theory. But Landes is not a very entertaining writer. The comments rather than tell the story. He assumes that you know the story. And their biographies are extremely superficial. No deepens.

I got this in March 2015, which means that this is not a time during which I can test this against mosquitoes and other bugs, but the brute fact is that this is a 15% DEET product, which means that it is inevitable that it will be effective against bugs. It is also a very poor time of the year to test its claim that it is sweat resistant. I'm always dubious about such claims, though I very much hope that I am mistaken to be sceptical.

The one thing that I can say, however, in addition to my conviction that it will be very affective in repelling insects, is that it does smell much nicer than other DEET products that I have used. I am a tad bothered by the catering to people's seen in the words at the bottom of the can, below the list of ingredients - "REPELLS MOSQUITOES That May Carry WEST NILE VIRUS" - but the claim that it has a "Refreshing, Clean Scent" is a fair one. As effective as DEET is, it normally has a greasy, chemical smell. . I wouldn't use the words "Refreshing" and "Clean" myself to describe the product, but I suppose "inoffensive" and "tolerable" are not enticing enough. I did test this on some pants and a T-shirt that I was planning on throwing away and it did not stain either. So all in all, I would say that this is a much nicer product than other repellants that I have tried.

Question: Not the richest coffee or hazelnut flavor  ehhhhhhhhh.........

I LOVE flavored coffee. I now drink it black with NO sugar.
When I used to add sugar & half & half, this was fine, but since I've switched to black coffee, the ones I previously lOVED I've discovered, are not that great without the "fixings"! IF you like it black, I would pass on this one. I wish Barnie's coffee would sell a K cup! I just LOVE their Southern Pecan! yummmmmmmmmmmm  This si not bad, just not "wonderful"!

He is the brutal truth. Not written in the clinical fashion. Be prepared to feel the punch in your stomach. My Tudors's books will send you reeling and perhaps look for cover. They are of a behaviour that is hard for anyone to understand unless you are one of them. But if you are going to indulge yourself with securing his writings and heed his warnings, then you will be armed and prepared. You will be, as they say, eyes wide open.

Easy to hook up and install. Operates good so far. Would have given it a higher rating but when we used it the first time to make sure it was hooked up properly and worked the plug for the remote control pulled away from the unit so it was hanging there. They 2 screws holding it in place are screwed into plastic so they just pulled apart. Something like this should be metal since you are pulling the plug out with force. I will need to get Amazon to send me a new cover or something to fix it.

Question: Swashbuckling swords!  Awesome for pirate party.

Used these at my daughters pirate birthday party.  The kids were 5 so I decided to do foam instead of plastic...GOOD IDEA!!!  Durable, well constructed, perfect size, they were the biggest hit at the party (pun intended).  Only thing was all the swords were the same style (not different like depicted in the photo), which worked well for me because they looked more like pirate swords instead of knight swords.  I believe these were the best swords for the price.

The Chair arrived on time, it is sturdy, an extremely soft cushion and very relaxing. I would recommend you purchasing one!

Question: Nice bags for your freezer grocery.

I use this to go shopping and it handle real good and keeps the food from the freezer frozen. I love this shopping bag and recommend it.

Shoot for the Moon is a paranormal-romance-mystery and the second title in Tamara Bonds Mystical Moonlight series. I decided to read this one on a lark, and it turned out to not really be my cup of tea. But I think if you enjoy Danielle Steeles books and if you want a fun beach read, youll probably enjoy Shoot for the Moon. Its worth noting that one of the defining characteristics of Ms. Bonds writing style is heavily descriptive prose. Youll not only get a picture of the main characters personality, youll know her clothing style, favorite model of car, taste in wine, and exactly how she spends her time. And her main characters are extremely wealthy people living in the fast lane, so reading the story is a bit like window shopping at Tiffanys. Also, despite this being the second book in the series, the main characters paranormal ability doesnt make an appearance until about a quarter of the way into the book. So I would say this story leans more toward the romance-mystery genre than the paranormal fantasy genre.

This is a great album.  While a little heavier than Zakk Wylde's "Book of Shadows", this certainly can be considered his idea of "SAP" or "Jar of Flies".  This is a great record with some mellow stuff as well as some heavier stuff.  A must have for an Zakk Wylde fan.

For what I needed, they are good. Don't know how long they will last with regular use but great for what I needed.

This book, "If you ask me (and of course you wont)," by Betty White is of interest to me because I've been watching movies and shows with Betty White since I was little. She is an inspiration to me and I took this as a chance to learn more about her life. I loved this book because it was great, and half the issues mentioned in other critical reviews I did not find.

This book is a great demonstration of her challenges and successes in life, telling in detail all the aspects. One theme seen a lot is "unglamorous reality;" for example, "Bet's, you can lie to anyone in the world and even get away with it...look into your own eyes in the mirror...always be sure you can meet them directly. "This fits into the theme because it shows even being famous if you can't be honest with yourself you won't get anywhere better than the lies you're telling yourself, and you will become disappointed in yourself. In conclusion I believe unglamorous reality is supported here because if you rely on lying, your life becomes less real and you keep burying yourself in false reality. There is one review quote that I do not agree with particularly; the quote says "the book is shallow and has a weak structure." I saw this at the beginning, but after the 2nd chapter I didn't exactly see any weaknesses. This quote was a poor judgment of the book-- I was drawn into the book and I believe that the person who said this didn't like Betty White to begin with, so his or her judgment was biased.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about Betty White. She talks a lot about all her beliefs for animal rights and how she believes people should be treated. To conclude, this was a good book and a must read if you're interested in her life.

Question: I'm amazed that this book hasn't been seen by everyone

I'm amazed that this book hasn't been seen by everyone. People need to spread the news of this! It's basically telling us God is not happy with this world and the ugliness of the human race. We need to stop living lives of greed, selfishness and hate. She wrote this book in 2012 and many things she said in here have happened since then. They're detailed events. There's no denying it.  She tells of more atrocities to come if people don't change their ways, yet sadly it seems this world is getting worse everyday. This book tells of  groups of inbred, disfigured adults and children on islands, species dying off and new ones created, countries being lost and ones from the past coming back,  flooding, drought and fires on enormous scales....all which have since happened and been found. There's more that haven't happened yet, which unfortunately will happen soon. It isn't all bad news though. It tells of those who have nothing in this world and how their lives will soon change. I truly hope someone of power sees this book soon and tells the world of it.

I have had this for years and am surprised that the battery still works. It is the best toy in my birds cage. Only one problem, the screw in the battery compartment will not open. But I will just get another one. Well worth the price.

I am so happy that I finally got "The Corpse Bride" WITHOUT any glitches in it.  This is the third DVD I have of this movie and the only one that did not have glitches in it.  I think the others may have been pirated, but I figure if I bought one from Amazon, it would be directly from the original producers of the DVD and "legal."  I really didn't know that so many of them had glitches and was very surprised.

The movie is very good.  The "drawings" for this movie were great.  Hope it is enjoyed by all.
Possibly would not be as enjoyable for a small child; might be a little over their head, but a very clean movie.

This cargo carrier is AWESOME. I wanted to get a hard case but then realized that storing it would be an issue, so I bought this for a cross-country move. It's very well-constructed: solid/thick zippers that can tolerate a lot of pressure, completely waterproof, holds a LOT, and easy to strap on to my cross/side bars. I put an old blanket underneath to avoid scratching the rood (though I don't think it would scratch a clean roof anyways). I put all the light items that take up a lot of space - comforter, pillows, rugs, blankets, curtains, etc. It was a miracle that I fit everything into my car for the move - all thanks to the Keeper. I'll definitely use it again for camping trips and long road trips. Ingenious!

Someone used a paint pen hand wrote "Made in China'" onto the part. This leads me to believe it's either fake, or not in specifications.

Everyone raves about Jodi Picoult books. The first one i read 'song of a humpback whale' was one of the most dismal books I have ever read and one of the few i couldn't even finish reading (i rarely stop reading a book part way through). However, "My sister's keeper" was completely different and I really liked it. The ethical/moral issue at the heart of this book is of interest to me as a geneticist, plus I liked the characters in the book. I was very disappointed with the ending of the book however, and preferred the ending in the film version.

Amazing and Highly recommend this Book from the Master " Matt DiMaio " AKA the Entertainer.

Great products at a great price. It would be nice if they had a belt clip, but this is not essential.

Question: A Delightful Collection of Songs!

This is a wonderful CD and a great one to add to your collection, regardless of whether or not you are a big fan of African music. The songs are all uplifting and joyful. This album aslo contradicts the stereotypical style of African drumming music that many think of when picturing what African music sounds like. The songs on here are melodic and use different types of instruments in addition to great vocals and harmonies.

Viking was one of the games I'v been waiting for for a long time ... and it's finally available .. but I have to be honest I was disappointed by the game play at First ,as the game fight system is weak and Shallow compared to other big games (ninja gaiden)  But the game really start to shine in the big HUGE battle at the end of each island .
Graphically the game is bellow the average .
This game is not just Hack n' Slash game but you have to do some quest and side quest before each battle ... There are 3 Huge islands waiting for you to explore .

If you like hack n' slash games you really have to Buy this game and even if you are not a fan of this genre you have to give it a try

Question: Blows Well Like a Blower Motor Should

Works just fine and less expensive than the OEM blower motor.  This is a great replacement option for your howling blower motor.

Have been using the same device for nearly 3 years now, have removed it several times (the quick disconnect) when washing a big pot but typically leave it on all the time and thus it gets banged around quite a bit.  No problems at all.  I live in a house and a part of town with good water pressure and you can visibly see the pressure affect/impact the filter when you engage it, yet I have never had a leak or the filter pop off or anything like what I read on some of the reviews.
The water tastes good, the filters average about 2 months, and this is with filling 2 gallon jugs several times a month so we have ice cold water available in the fridge.  I do not think our water is particularly soft, so that is pretty good longevity for both the device and the filters.
I agree with other reviewers that feel some of the reviews that are several years old give the wrong impression about a product that the manufacturer admits had issues and has been improved.

Question: Great light for the 10x20 shed

Great light for the 10x20 shed....Super bright and well worth the money. Lit up my shed enough to function and find things in the dark and low light. Will purchase another to allow me to work on projects at night with more than enough light to measure twice and cut once.....

When they work they work really well but it is hard to peel them evenly from the role to get a clean sheet

I use this mouse on a $1500 laptop and it works great! I had one just like this before for 4 years before someone got water into it and corroded the inside. Anyways, great price for a great product!

Looks and feels as good as any other screen protector I've used.  Works perfectly with my Otterbox commuter. Blacking out the top, bottom and edges of the screen makes this look great, but it does require precision when you install it.  Using those adhesive strips as hinges during installation works quite well.  Use them or risk extreme frustration.

Question: Meets and exceeds expectations!

AT&T CRL32202 dect_6.0 2-Handset Landline Telephone

We purchased this product to replace a cordless set that no longer worked well.  We have been very satisfied with this unit. Sound is clear and like the fact that when you change or delete something on one handset it is cleared on the other. The ring tone options are nice and not your typical phone ring if that is what you desire.  Very satisfied!

I was so excited when I saw that Holly Robinson's second book was available in Kindle format.  As with her first book, "The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter", I think everyone will see bits of their family in the characters of "Sleeping Tigers".  In both books, I find the 'mom' characters spot on.  They make me want to call my Mom to hear her voice including those subtle and not so subtle nags and hints.  Robinson's descriptive analogies are effective and often laugh-out-loud humorous.  I can't wait for her next book!

Used it to travel down south for vacation . Stayed in place in CD slot. Who uses
CDs anymore?  Would bye again.

Joyce Carol Oates in an author that I've seen frequently when I've browsed the shelves of a school library. She is a New York Selling Best author especially in the are of young adult literature. Unfortunately, I haven't had the experience of reading one of her novels. This was a first. I read this book in a day, truly committed to the lives of Merissa, Tink and Nadia. The novel is arranged into three distinct parts. Each part featuring one girl. In this novel we are presented with aspects of teenage life, that unfortunately is occurring in some of today's schools. It was slightly depressing knowing that one of the girls has already done the inevitable. Her actions ultimately effect the choices that the other girls make within their life and high school experience.

I'm very torn about the amount of details that I provide for this review. However know, that this novel deals with the following issues: bullying, sexting, suicide, inappropriate relationships etc. This would surely be a novel that I would suggest would be more suitable for the upper high school female student. I appreciate the fact that the author is capturing the issues that teenagers face today. However, I found that the beginning of the novel was slightly written at a slow pace making it hard for the reader to grasp what was truly going in the story. Once you get through Part 1, Part 2 and 3 flow a whole lot smoother in your mind when reading. In conclusion, I could see this book as a choice for a young adult female book club pick where discussions of events is facilitated by an adult.

Question: I have a bunch of lights. This is definately #1

Ok guys here's the review. I am a bit of a flashlight snob and I have a large supply of flashlights. I work in an industry where my flashlight is turned on and off in use 75+ times a day. I have had this light about 8 months. I have lights that cost in the $200 range for a rechargeable  light, from coast, stream light, mag light, sure fire and the list goes on. This is hands down the best light I have ever owned and I put them through their paces. From being run over, to dropped from 7 ft to being used as a hammer to get something to act up or just move. I use my lights and  admit I abuse them. my job is to get it done and get it done fast. I additionally carry this light for personal defense and carry a hefty firearm at all times concealed. This is my" go to" to know what goes bump in the night or just the dark places. It is super brite, super lite, powerful, long winded
(with good batteries), rugged, clip works well and positioned correctly for carry, in or outside of your pocket. At $150 I would gladly purchase this light again If I had to. $70 for this light,  this is a smoking good light and I give it 6 stars out of 5. Im not paid to say this or brag. I'm just an ordinary guy that won't hesitate to tell ya that it's a POS when it is. But this light is 100% money well spent. Be sure to pick up extra batteries too. Ill take the pepsi challenge with any light on the market in the long haul against the pd35tac. Period. Because I have put it to the test.

Just what I needed to cover my daughter's school workbooks. I have a ton left over for future use. I think I bought the roll that was too much.

Joseph Newcomer, when you order a captain and coke, is the coke served the way you are accustomed to? Directly to the face? The book is pretty bland but not much one can expect from a "Newcomer".

This remains one of thier best for a slew of factors;
1- Its the last LP to feature the original line up including the venerable Mr Jones who adds deft touches of slide, harp & percussion on misc trax.
2- Thier songwriting was seldom to be this good ever again (Salt of the Earth, Stray Cat, Dear Dr, Factory Girl, Street Fighting Man Jigsaw Puzzle)
3- This LP marked a return of sorts to the Stones more blusier or earthy roots coming on the heels of the oft mis understood Satanic Majesties & to great results.
4-It marks the introduction of producer Jimmy Miller (Traffic/Spencer Davis)& that union proved to mark for many the Zenith of the Stones in regard to the overall consistency of thier releases, production values were never better.
5-This LP achieves a great dynamic that the other lp's in the Miller catalogue would follow but seldom top. The album has it's very introspective items like No Expectations & Salt, Rockers like ST Fighting, Stray CAt & Parachute, politically charged songs like Sympathy & Street but more imprtantly it has its lighter moments like Dear Dr, Prodigal Son & Factory that serve to take the edge off the heavier stuff.
6-The reissue is very impressive (SACD) sounds spectacular & that's coming from a vinyl freak. This version has quite unbelievable detail especially on the acoustic guitar which predominates this lP. I would say this was one of the better remasters (ABKCO) that I've heard.
7-Just buy it.

Question: Best bang for the buck !!

This camera is amazing not just interms of what you get for such low price but overall interms of performance too. Picture quality is very crisp and clear even in low light. I am actually using it as a window cam pointing it outside towards my sideyard which also covers the main entrance of my home. I disabled the power indicator light and also the IR light as there is plenty of street light in that area (& also IR was not going to work through the window glass pane anyways) The only reason I am deducting a star is this 1080p camera lacks the ability to set activity zones.. which is something the lower 720p camera has. The camera is very sensitive to motion detection and detects cars passing which are a good 60-75 feet away. The other reason for not giving this camera a 5 star rating is that the included cloud storage only saves snippets of 6 seconds on the cloud which is not at all sufficient for real world usability. I wish they made it atleast 10 seconds or maybe even 15 seconds.. I would gladly accept storing 15 second videos of last 3 days in the cloud backup instead of the 7 days of 6 second videos if given as an option.

These are so convenient for brushing rolls or, well anything in the kitchen, dusting sugar cookies, you name it.  Nothing sticks to them, not even butter or grease.  They clean up so fast I will never touch the hair bristle kind again.  Go to these and they'll spoil you how easy they are to clean.

Did the work as advertised. Thought we were getting one each per the two lamps we ordered but not so. Wife misunderstood the add so maybe need to make it more clear as the one 30" comes in two pieces.

This cable is great, on my previous purchase I bought 2 of them and an additional 3.55mm male to male stereo audio cable. I'm about to buy an optical audio cable and I'm surely going to purchase on from these guys. The quality is great, excellent quality, no complaints, have been using it for around 5 months and I couldn't be happier with this purchase and it's price.
I recommend anyone looking for all sorts of cables to give these guys a try because it's worth it. Packaging is great also, so... give them a try.

Question: Excellent high fantasy quest novel

This is one of my favorite fantasy series, albeit at a darker and more gritty level than many of the other high fantasy works that I put into the same category (e.g. Eddings' Belgariad). The author does an excellent job of worldbuilding, presenting values and moral debates in a believable and powerful way, and telling a good, gripping, satisfying story that keeps you turning pages and staying up way too late at night.

This heart rate monitor strap is much more comfortable than the older style.  The band is made of a soft material and it less bulky than the other Garmin strap.  It picked up the user's heart rate much faster as well.

However, the honeymoon is over.  I bought this and used it for about 4 months until the heart rate readings became irregular, bouncing all over the place with or without activity.  I tried all the tricks and wore non-technical materials to try and eliminate the issue.  I attempted to change the battery which has been a nightmare in and of itself.  The screws used to access the battery compartment are four tiny screws, similar to those used in eyeglasses.  No one sells these things and you can't unscrew them without stripping the heads.  I went to a jeweler, hardware store and eye glass retailer to try and find these screws.  No luck.  I did put a new battery in and hold the compartment shut to see if the battery was the root of the problem.  Now it won't even synch with the Garmin GPS device.  UGH!  So now I'm back to using the old style strap (yes, it synched without any problem).

Garmin, do the right thing.  Stop selling this and create a better, longer lasting product!

Bottom line:  Buyer beware.

Super snug and protective! Also super cute! I a bit of an issue with the volume buttons on the case but the issue was resolved when I cut of bit of the little button poker(?) so that it isn't constantly coming in contact with the phone volume buttons even though I'm not using them.

I love the color on these but the stone is so thin that I can't imagine it being absorbent. I held them next to a competitors brand. This brand was more 1/2 as thin as that of the thickness of the competitors. I've had water puddle on top and run off rather than be absorbed into the stone. It's a shame because the color and design is great and exactly what I was looking for but as far as functionality, I was disappointed.

Question: protective case for iphone

I have an older iphone and from the beginning had an Incase slider case for it. And it wasn't bulky but did work for drop protection. It took the beating, not my phone. It finally had a crack in it so I had to go through Amazon to find another because they don't carry it in stores for my older phone.

It tilts because the set screw  for the arm was defective as was the bolt to clamp it on the tank. The arm is too heavy for the clamp

Question: Keeps ears extremely warm

They not only keep my ears warm they also block out sound.  I was very impressed with the amount of comfort and warmth they give off.

I needed a custom fitting to hook up the natural gas line on a 30K BTU gas space heater.  The straight adapter the hardware store sold me made the connector too long for the heater to stand up on its own feet, so I had to prop up the heater on blocks so it wouldn't be standing on the gas line itself.

This 90 degree adapter fixed that issue for me, allowing me to reroute the gas line toward the back of the unit.  Now the heater sits flush on its own feet on the floor, making it much more secure and aesthetically pleasing.

Misleading information. Says it is 20 oz but really only 16 oz. I bought it for my dad because he wanted a BIG mug and was so disappointing when we measured it and it was only 16. I wrote the HD and they said they could refund us if we returned it. They should really adjust the description or the price.

This Skimmer has good price and does the job as it should be. Many compare them to Octoopus basic I would say is a version very similar to Bubble Mag's Quiet Work fine. The Assembly Instructions are poor. Someone with knowledge can build it.

My Aquarium is 60G
Sump  is 25 g

Excellent. 100%

the water level in the sump will vary and proper is between 6 "to 9".

  Settings for each aquarium is a different world because of its biological load. (As filter media) present in your aquarium coral.

I love this scale it makes keeping track of macros and calories easy! The only issue I have is every so often the scale won't read what is being placed on to the scale. To fix the rare issue I just restart the scale which takes approximately 45 - 60 seconds.

Not much to say. The spellings are a bit odd, though that is likely due to the older translation of the book. You can't really complain because it's free! The story itself is entertaining, and Voltaire's sense of humor really shines through with Candide.

Question: Reel Close to Reality...

The true history of The Elephant Man, who's real name was actually "Joseph" Merrick, is one of degradation and misery, only momentarily relieved by his association with Dr. Frederick Treeves and his stay at the London Hospital.  His life as a sideshow freak was actually something he entered into voluntarily, as what he considered the only way he could stay out of the Poor House.  He was abandoned in France by the man who acted as his Barker when the show was shut down, and he did make the harrowing journey back to England much as is depicted in the film, but the mistreatment that he suffers in the movie I have to assume is meant as a composite sort of license taking, as he did spend his childhood in a dormitory for homeless boys, where it is assumed he suffered incredibly, as he would never speak of that time to anyone.  All in all, though, the movie gets it right more often than not, especially the circumstances of his death, which was the most poignant moment I can remember seeing in a movie in a long time.  You should read the book, if chance allows, but the movie is a pretty good substitute.

My husband installed it in my computer.  Very good price and has held up to my RPG gaming.

These are great fit - grandson has thicker thighs and these jeans allow extra room for that but still fit well at waist. He wears for welding class at school and they work very well for that. Tough jeans - will definitely buy again.

The Dell XPS 13 fits comfortably, albeit loosely in this case. It's not a snug fit, but this sleeve keeps my XPS safe from scratches and dings while tossed into a backpack or left on a spare car seat. I love the fact that there are no zippers to keep this thing closed; it's a self closing style case. Highly recommended for its perfect utilitarian purpose.

Question: ARC REVIEW Great series

Finally Regan and Sawyer!! These two are a hoot. You finally find out what happened to tear them apart and what finally happens to bring them back together again.

But will a common enemy be enough to unite themand finally fulfill the promises they made one passionate night under the stars?
Once again spot on blurb. Regan and Sawyer broke each others hearts not one thing alone tore them apart but a series of things. Someone is out to keep both towns from throwing their festivals. Regan has been getting threatening letters and someone more recently someone tried to poor herbicide on her Mother's prize winning tomatoes. Regan has a crazy idea of who it might be but the only person she can trust not to think she's gone crazy is the only other person deeply invested in the festival, Sawyer.
Sawyer has finally gotten the chance to explain to Regan what happened all those years ago. Sawyer's plan is two sided he wants to stop the saboteur and win over Regan again. But it's not just the saboteur he's dealing with but the snobbish and hateful mother.

Overall, this was a great way to end. I loved the book. I loved the characters. I loved the series. It one of those that makes you go awwwww at the end.

The heater stopped working less than a month. I used to like this heater brand because they are reliable not anymore. When it works, it produces very good heat and accurate. I try other cheaper brands.

Question: Look great and work well

Look great, work well. Exactly what we were looking for. The only complaint is that there only seems to be one grinding setting, despite the fact that the knob on the top indicates a range of options. No big deal though.

There are plans for "Die Hard 4: Die Hardest" for 2005, with Bruce Willis back for a fourth time and director John McTiernan back for a third as John McClane and his daughter become involved in yet another terrorist plot.  I have high hopes for such a film because the "Die Hard" series has been one of the strongest in the action genre.  Granted, the best of the bunch remains the original 1988 film, which is the standard by which all subsequent films in the genre have been judged: "Die Hard 2: Die Harder" was "Die Hard" in an airport and "Speed" was "Die Hard on a Bus," not to be confused with "Speed II" which was "Die Hard" and "Speed" on a boat.  Apparently Willis only does these movies when he has one that thinks it will work, which would explain why "Die Hard with a Vengeance," the third film in the series, came out in 1995, five years after the sequel.
The best thing that can be said about this movie is that it would have worked even if it was not a "Die Hard" movie.  The idea that John McClane is once again on the outs with his wife (who never appears in the film) is getting stale and the idea that he is being targeted by this film's mysterious villain simply named Simon (Jeremy Irons) could just as easily have a different explanation than one that ties this film back to the original.  In fact, what makes this third one a solid action film is that it does indeed go back to the original for two of its strongest elements.  The first is the idea that the crime is a fairly complex robbery dressed up with a lot of distractions.  The second is that McClane's character had a tenuous anchor with another person; in the original it was Reginald VelJohnson's Al Powell, although for most of the film it was merely by radio.  That fault is rectified in this film with Willis given a strong co-star in Samuel L. Jackson's Zeus Carver.  This time it is Jackson's character who suddenly finds himself in extraordinary circumstances, forced by some nut with a whole lot of bombs at his disposal to jump through a bizarre series of hoops.
One of the key elements in the success of the "Die Hard" movies was that McClane managed to use his brains at opportune moments.  That issue is forced to the extreme in this one as the voice at the other end of a long series of phone calls provides one deadly brainteaser after another.  This allows the logic of the movie produce a series of stunts and action sequences as the two mismatched heroes race around New York City trying to avoiding anybody getting killed (including themselves).  Willis and Jackson work well off of each other, helped by the fact there characters are not stupid, and that despite the yelling and screaming solving problems is the highest priority.  We have seen all of these elements before from all the action/buddy movies that Hollywood has produced, and their success remains contingent on how much we like watching the two buddies do what they gotta do.  The whole idea of these things is to provide a compelling thrill ride, and by that standard "Die Hard with a Vengeance" delivers.
