Question: Best. Star Wars. RPG. Ever.

This game simply had the best twist in the plot that I have seen since the Metal Gear/Solid Snake games (for those who understood the developments).  I preordered this game long before the buzz reached mainstream, and it was well worth the money. Those who don't have this game for whatever reason should get it without delay. Yeah, it's that good.

I found the author to have done a thorough job in researching this topic and writing it in a way that makes the era and the participants come alive.

nice  but be advised  the radio does not come with a battery or battery charger

This is the last Gillian Flynn book I will ever read.  This author is not capable of writing any characters in her stories that are remotely like-able.  I prefer to read a book with someone to cheer for, and this book leaves nothing to like about any characters and displays the worst of human treatment and behavior by all.  It was depressing on all levels and did not even leave me with a satisfying resolution at the end.  Save your money.

Question: Reporting on the 'COSMOS' 5pc pack of Red Nylon Wrist Straps

These were just as I hoped, nice sturdy and bright red so they will be easily seen! perfect so I won't lose my tiny (bright red 32GB Verbatim memory card) I can keep it on my wrist when it's not in my Lenovo Chromebook!

Same size and shape as always, but the quality of the cotton is terrible. I've been purchasing these for better than 20 years. The ones that I have that are 2 years old and been through many washes are a thicker cotton than those just purchased. Very disappointed. If you have not bought these in a while, don't buy them now. They are not the same good cotton as before.

Question: Scratches easily - low quality plastic

I liked the idea of protection along with being able to see the phone's attractive housing but the clear case scratches so easily, a week after buying it it was all foggy and scratched up from just carrying it in my handbag. Wasn't happy with the quality of the product at all.

Heres what I love about this book:
* Wonderful positive message that kids of ALL abilities should hear! I am especially excited to have this book in my toolbox of things to use in my work as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist and Kids Yoga Teacher at the JD McCarty Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities. Many of the kids we see struggle with self confidence & anxiety related to their special needs.
* Beautiful rhyming text with just a few words in a large easy-to-read font on each page.
* Lovely colorful hand drawn illustrations on each 2-page spread.
* The size of the book will make it easy to use even in group settings.
* There are no religious connotations and the illustrations of people depict diversity which allow this book to be used in a wide range of settings.
* 9 kids yoga poses are included at the end of the book with photos and kid-friendly instructions. As a SLP, I love how the author includes extension questions for each pose to get kids thinking as they are moving!
* 2 short guided relaxation scripts are included at the end of the book (I Am Happy & Amazing Me).

Question: Not attributive but does what I wanted

The mesh fabric at the top is too large for me.  I have a large bust but a smaller frame and this top part just lays horribly.  Almost like a shirt when you lean forward only it's stiffly jetting out. Makes my tank top look stupid, too.  The bra isn't pretty.  Luckily I didn't buy the bra to look cute.  It does provide great support when doing cardio and keeps my boobs from constantly touching.

4 starts for the ill-fitting mesh top.  It would super comfortable if it wasn't for that.

Heavy enough to stay put but light enough to move around. This thing has quite a bit of pop and power to it . Has plenty of choices for angles. Very well built and looks professional.

Question: Amazon return policy is great

I have two of these in my guitar display case and they can get to be as much as 4% off from each other on relative humidity. One is a foot higher than the other and they do often register different temperatures (by a degree or two), which is probably the primary cause of the discrepancy.

One of the first two I received was DOA, but Amazon kindly replaced it, and I haven't had any trouble with the replacement or the other original. I may buy the "Pro Accuracy" model if these ever break, but they were cheap, and get the job done.

Just as expected. Great stocking stuffer and will also holler when slapped on the floor, wall, or little brother.

Question: The struggles of a nation on a personal level

Though fictional, Rebel stretches your imagination as to what impact the Civil War had on families and friends who went through it.  It was hard to put down.  Nathan Starbuck brings to life the inner turmoil of finding himself and his place in that dynamic.

I had to have this small piece of Americana when I first heard about it. In this book, Dr. Bob brings to life a favorite local legend that centers on, as Bob puts it, "one of the finest Victorian walking parks that ever existed." Of course, we're talking about Eldridge Park in Elmira, N.Y., which came into being in the latter half of the 19th century, lasted well into the 20th century, and has been re-born -- albeit on a smaller scale -- here in the 21st century (the credit for which is largely due to Dr. Bob and his many friends IMHO). Adding to my delight was discovering, upon opening the box, that the cover illustration was done by my favorite local artist, former high school teacher, renowned piper and ND grad, Patrick Saxe. For aficionados of Seneca, Chemung, Elmira or Eldridge Park history, I can heartily recommend this slight but well-done volume for your collection.

As some of the prior reviewers had mentioned, some pieces were bent, but what is worse, there were too many pieces that "seemed" to fit, and it was very very frustrating to find the actual correct pieces.

I wish the game had been longer, because it was a lot of fun.  Also, I like having an inventory (as long as it isn't as bad as ME1), maybe I'm a pack rat, but I like sorting through stuff and trading etc just a little.  If the next installment incorporated some thing from kotor it would be great- unique items for quest rewards, the inventory, more side quests.  They could even add some of the humor that I felt was missing.  I haven't bought the DLC yet and I'm hoping to find some positives there too.  Overall it was a lot of fun, but a little short.

Question: Is not perfect, but your zoom photos never will be the same

Much depends on the quality of the camera, but what you pay for these lenses you obtain spectaculars photos. I bought this lens with some skepticism, but really I've got some unique pictures.

Dawson has chronicled a fascinating life of high adventure that kept me on the edge of my chair throughout each chapter.  It is a "must  read" for anyone that yearns for the excitement of extraordinary exploits that test a person's physical and mental toughness while exhibiting rational courage. His ability to relate incidents that required him to perform feats of extreme endurance with a strong sense of mental and physical discipline in emergency situations to prevent disaster and sometimes death are so well written that I felt I was "in his boots" while reading the chapters.

There is much more insight of  the Alaska commercial fishery in the pages of Delusions of Immortality  than one could ever gain from watching the TV series.  It is frightening to read about the tremendous stamina and courage the men and women must possess in this dangerous occupation.  He's put it on paper in a way that makes you wonder if you would have what it takes to do this job.  His exploits are stories that have found a place on my bookshelf to read and re-read whenever I feel the need of an adrenalin rush.  From Nevada to Alaska, Dawson has lived life to its fullest and given us a wonderful account of a modern day adventurer.  I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has a bit of the "wild side" in his or her soul.

Question: Present for my 10 year old brother

I bought these along with some other items as a birthday present for my younger brother who was turning 10 years old because they looked like they would fit him and his style.  I could just picture him wearing these aviator sunglasses.  They arrived in great condition because they were packaged properly and safely.  When I gave these to my brother he loved them.  The only thing is they are some pretty dark shades.  If you wear them inside you literally can't see anything.  I was honestly worried that these sunglasses wouldn't be dark enough because of the price, but trust me, you don't have to worry about the sun being in your eyes, and you can look hip too ;) as it says on the outside the lens are mirrors, (the back of the lens). My brother said, "I can use the front as a mirror.... awesome!"

The Shoppe of Spells is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Shanon Grey weaves the reader right into the story from the start. I was annoyed every time I had to stop reading. She sets the scene and develops the characters from the first, then bit by bit draws you into the paranormal elements so that they feel natural. Very skillful worldbuilding and strong on suspense.

Question: Great dual-probe thermometer

I purchased mine directly from ThermoPro to replace an older single-probe thermometer.  This one is built far better, and feels like it'll hold up to the heavy duty usage I needed it for.  Setting timers and temperatures for each probe is very easy & intuitive.  I don't miss doing it the hard way :). I haven't tested them for complete accuracy, but everything's turned out perfect thus far. The greater range allows me to bring the remote anywhere in my house or yard to keep an eye on things.

Works well with my 2010 Audi A5. Have had the same skipping issue that others have had, however this is not an issue with this product but rather having too many bluetooth connections on the phone.

Lasted about 8 months under moderate use. When on phone works fine. The soft componenets over the buttons and other areas have become detached from hard case molding. Takes a few minutes to get everything lined up right and re-assembled when putting back onto phone. It's nice looking and everything, just surprised/disappointed it started falling apart so soon.

Question: This would have been a fun FIRST novel

The characters becoming familiar is part of what makes a series book a comfortable easy read.  The plot becoming familiar is not.  I have bought all the Stephanie Plum books and I have to say:  it's (past) time for some plot diversity.  This latest offering has some nice plot lines that resolve reasonably well by the end of the book.  But the same old same old romantic tension, car explosions and really uninteresting characters who skip court appearances are making this series a little stale.  It's time for some completely different (apologies to Monty Python).  Come on Janet!

Question: Great case with protection and beauty intertwined..

Like most guys, I had a tough time selecting the right case for my slim new i phone 6 silver. I was essentially looking at a case that would keep my phone's beauty intact and yet give the protection I needed from my daily usage. Upon a great research i zeroed in on this one. To its promise, i am greatly impressed with its look and the simple yet greatly finished product that is definitely high on quality. Phone feels so easy and secure in hands and it keeps reminding me of why i chose to buy i phone ahead of others (coming from Samsung galaxy 4). The case is delivered well before the estimated delivery date. The kit also contains the screen protector which i was not even expecting. I would definitely recommend this product for the price it comes and the value it gives with no compromise on its basic promise, the protection.

Orton begins the story in a way that got its claws hooked into me right away through a scene that made me jump out of my skin. I won't tell you everything No spoilers here! Youll have to get the book for that and then youll see what Im talking about. But I will tell you that it does involve one of the two central characters: The spirited Geneticist Isabel.

In the beginning of the story, Isabel, also known as Iz, is buying a weapon, specifically a handgun. At the time, I didn't even have the full details on why yet, but just the gusto and dialogue between her and the seller made me want to read on and learn more.

Once I did, I found that this was no ordinary, run-of-the-mill situation for which she needed a gun but rather a sort of post-Armageddon like state.

During the course of the story, you will also get to know Diego, Isabels lover, who happens to be dead.

Isabel and Diego are  star-crossed lovers. Both are from different worlds and timelines, with Isabel coming from the future to Diego, younger and very much alive.

At first, I wasn't sure how that would work. But Orton worked the various time and space continuums without clich or bumps in the road. Even the writing concerning Diegos and Isabels meeting is seamless and believable.

Add the backdrop of life as we know it coming to an end and a deadly virus and youve got a dystopian, scientific, lovestory thriller that will not only warm your heart but will chill your blood in all the right places.

5 out of 5 all the way!

Question: Great Keyless Entry System

Purchased this item to allow easy and secure access to the garage.  Perfect for when I want to access the garage to get my bicycle to head down to the beach and I don't have the garage door clicker.  Holds up well in the salty air of HI.

I actually won this system via a radio contest, and I have had it for 2 years now.  There have been some small annoyances, but otherwise, it has been a good system.  It looks sharp, was easy to setup and use, and there was plenty of length to the speaker wire to setup surround sound in nearly any size room.  The DVD changer is slow, but the sound and picture quality is great.  I would recommend this system if you only have a basic setup of home theater, as multiple inputs/outputs can be a bit of a hassle.

I ordered the bag based on the picture. The original one I had, burst and I couldn't find it in any stores in the Maryland area. So when I found it on here for the $12.99 price, I bought it with excitement. Unfortunately, when the bag came i was truly disappointed because I felt tricked. The bag I received looks nothing like the one in the picture. It doesn't have that locked on the front they have a stupid button instead and a pocket in the back. Please use the right picture when selling this item.

Question: I am disappointed in this clock

This is a second review after having it for a few months.  I am disappointed in this clock, as after a month or so, it stopped working.  Thinking it was the battery already, I changed it.  Then it would stop and start up on it's own.  After changing the battery 3 times in less than 6 months, I went to big box store and bought a $4 clock which has been working fine.  The clock was quiet and nice looking, but I want a clock to work, which this one didn't for me.

Somewhat fiddly to set up, even when paired with a Sony TV. Good but not great sound quality. The slim size seems to have limited the available output. Overall decent considering the modest price, but not the kind of top of the line performance I used to expect from Sony.

These were way too large all around, but I do have tiny ankles and calves so consider that when buying.  Also I was looking for genuine leather and these seemed to be man mad, so they went back.  Others might absolutely love this style, just not right for me.  Great price tho.

Of course, you will want to slap Richard upside the head at the beginning of the book.  But because the book is told by both of the main characters point of view, you learn a lot about why Richard is the way he is.  You get to see how he changes over the course of the story.  I just loved when he told Katharine that she had "a gentle soul".  Her compassion and her acceptance was the reason that Richard could learn how to love. There were many laugh out loud moments in the book.  I just loved how Katharine was able to stand up to Richard.

Question: They did it their way!

This inspiring book for women and men alike could have been named "The Magnificent Seven", just as well.

It is a fascinating book, honoring seven extraordinary women, who have attained the pinnacle of the real estate profession.

Through their meaningful and captivating accounts, these accomplished leaders lay out their personal blueprint of the very uneven and intricate real estate industry, in which only the strong survives.

Coming from different walks of life, just like their clients, the seven talented, consummate and strong-willed women portrayed in this book, leveled the real estate playing field. They proved they could do the job just as good, if not even better than their male counterparts.

Early on in their careers, they had to learn about cigars and bourbon, went sailing around the world, read lots of books, had happy accidents, specialized in no-money clientele, sold high-speed internet access or stopped being a secretary.

On their way to the top of the real estate profession, these defiant women understood that giving up was not an option and there was no turning back.

The secret of their success? They all believed in themselves and took control of their destiny. They would not stop in front of barriers, and kept pushing and pushing until achieving the zenith of success.

Each interview is an admirable display of perseverance, brilliance, mental toughness, decisiveness, caring, passion and courage.

Kudos to Alyse Martin, the insightful author of "Remarkable Women in Real Estate." A smart read for any new and seasoned real estate professional. A book filled with real life lessons and amazing success, relevant to any industry out there.

Question: Not as good as the PS2 games

Sorry, but this game isn't nearly as fun as the PS2 Katamari games.  The graphics seem dumbed down, there's pop-up all over the place (Pop-up?  In a PS3 game?  Seriously?), and the incessant rambling nonsensical text gets O-L-D, especially when it comes on the screen during gameplay!!!  The developers also tried waaaaay too hard to make the game quirky and "weird" to the point that it comes off as desperate and/or flat out retarded.  The whole thing just feels very unpolished.  I can't wait to get through it so that I can sling it back up for sale.

UPDATE: Okay now I REALLY hate this game!  I just got so f'ing frustrated with the wonky controls that I smashed my controller down on top of my Macbook Pro not only putting a dent in my laptop but also chipping my controller.  GOD I HATE THIS GAME

Question: Been There, Read That!

Saw Mike on television and based upon his story thought he might have something new to share.  As soon as I got the book I became concerned because this is from a non-medical man's point-of-view and I think that men and women have different weight loss issues (though some principles are the same or similar).  My second thought was that I had read it before.  No, not by Mike Berland but by so many others, like for example Atkins or Body for Life.  Skimming through the book he tells the reader that good fat is good, processed foods, carbs and sugar are bad.  Interval exercising is good, killing yourself is, well, bad!  It is pretty much how I eat and how I exercise right now.  Even the illustrations and recommended exercises were so basic...nothing new. This book is really for a weight loss and workout virgin.  If you have not read anything else or talked to your doctor or been to a gym, then go ahead and get the book. But for me, I thought it would be better named Been There, Read That!  So, I returned it.

very satisfied with purchase of CORELLE DINNERWARE.good price, free delivery & what I was looking for in "CHIP-PROOF" everyday dinnerware. Price was little more than cheap STONEWARE, which easily chips especially when used with a dishwasher.

Question: Malfunction is Common

Two out of 5 tape cassettes I purchased have malfunctioned from the start and I had to throw them away.

This definitely gets some of the litter from my cats' paws. I have little athletes so it is not as effective as it could be because my cats sometimes leap from their litter boxes to avoid stepping on it. I gave this product 4 stars as to 3 (the "okay" rating) because of how easy it is to clean. I have another mat Arm & Hammer Half Circle Litter Mat, Pearl Tan that is woven so tight that I can never get the litter from it on clean up day. I think this would need to be wider to work as intended for my cats. However, since I do end up dumping litter from it every week, I know that it is saving me from having tons of added litter on the floor.

Please rate my review as helpful, if it helped you. Thanks!

Question: Familiar storytelling with sparse musical props

With the exception of the bluesy "Too Many Bridges," the tracks on the "Journey" album are slow or medium tempo "folk" tunes. The tunes are not as catchy as those on previous albums, but this trait is not necessarily a fault. Rather, the simpler musical props brings more attention to Archie's wonderful voice and the stories he sings.

As before, Archie continues to sing about families. Journey has several tracks that exhort the listener to show genuine respect for the elders in the family/community, to learn from their wisdom.

Archie, I'm listening to you. I'm learning from you how to find beauty and grace, especially in difficult situations and circumstances.

Bought for my husband as a gift and it's perfect. The quality and sleek design is pleasing.
They are very nice, light weight. I recommend. They are just for around the house, mowing lawn, listening to music, etc...
work perfect.

Question: Twice the Hands to Hold

Uncle Jake and young twin brothers Matt and Brian. The adorable, kinda broken Walker family. You'll love them.
I'm sure it's impossible not to. Their story, their lives are so deeply emotional, so tragically beautiful. So full of love, respect and strength for each other. They'll grip your heart and won't let go.

You'll see them being there for each other so fiercely and lovingly while going through hard times. And better times. And losing sight of who they are and what they want for just a second and finding themselves all over again. And finding love. And being loved.
It was sweet and heartwarming.

I liked that all three of them got to share their POV. I always like that, it never fails to get me closer to the story. To them. So I understand their actions better. Their desires as well'*''''*'
I loved it all, my sweeter side was completely at ease by the end. Louis wrote the story with such care for them three and the men who love them. Beautiful 'o'.(''' '')

Agree a movie without porn or gore, but just a one time watch as the woman soldier just became an appendage of him at the end, she didn't have
a plan for her life although that might be the way with many who join the Armed Forces to begin with. So many cliches from the 60's and elsewhere like the Jewish break the glass at the wedding and the gun toting black guy. At least the woman soldier went outside the box to make one want to keep watching it in case something else new and different was to come up It didn't.

Installation was easy with the help of the video instructions.  Bubble free - cant tell there's a protector on.  I recommend this product.

Question: this product reminded me of how to have sex properly. five star rating

See that picture of the product? That's how you were born. Now you don't have to ask your parents how it was done, I spoiled it for you.

I checked this book out based strictly on the author, Dean Koontz.  I have read most of his books and find him to be a great author with an immense vocabulary and a masterful ability to turn a phrase.  This book is no exception on those counts.

The plot on the other hand was a great disappointment.  It's a bit formulaic.  i had the feeling Koontz was writing to fill a quota.  Like Dumas who finished "The Three Musketeers" with a half page to go to fill his daily quota, wrote, "The Count of Monte Cristo,"  and finished the page, Koontz goes on and on with non necessary text.  Ashley Bell could have ended fifty pages before it did.  Out of ideas, it seems, he writes about a female writer who abounds with creativity which gets her into lots of trouble.  Is Koontz jealous of his female protagonist?  The book is not up to Koontz standards of suspense and horror.

Question: Decor From Days Gone By

I was expecting a decoratitng book with more of today's contemporary flare. This book certainly did not deliver the goods.

However, it did present some interesting color themes; but overall lacked in fresh ideas (i.e. "dated" rooms, photography).

If you're loooking for very basic decorating ideas to incorporate color into your home, then this book would suffice.  But I would definitely suggest buying a used copy.

I just received my trash can and it is great. Larger than I expected and the motion sensor is great because I imagine I will not have to constantly keep cleaning due to fingerprints. I love the divider for regular trash and recycled trash. I would definitely recommend this product.

Question: Not very well made (too brittle)

Nice size and looked good, sadly it is made from a very brittle plastic and smashed the first day I had it when a bartender in Mexico dropped it about 1 foot onto a lower bar area :( If it was  made of tougher stuff, it would have got 4 stars.

If you've used a full size Dyson, this is 80% of the build quality, 50% of the capacity, and 50% of the price.  Great if you have a small condo or apt.  If you have a full sized house, bite the bullet and buy one of the larger models.

Question: "It's okay to let yourself be loved."

When I first read the set-up for this new series, I felt a little skeptical.  I mean...I was always going to read it because, duh, RILEY HART.  (She's the author of one of the best book series I've ever read - Broken Pieces.)  But the description seemed too stereotypical, too cliche.  However, I enjoyed this story quite a lot.  This was your typical 'fake boyfriend' trope, which I usually like.  Throughout the course of this 'fake boyfriend' relationship, we meet a lot of other characters from Metropolis.  The growth of the MCs (Gary and Travis) seemed reasonable and the sexy times were hot.  There was a BIT of the predictable 'we don't talk about our problems, we make assumptions' angst, but it was resolved pretty quickly.  (And the couple appeared to learn from it.)  There is also some humorous dialogue here.  My ONLY problem now is I have waited for Riley Hart books in the past.  Hate waiting; I liked so many of the secondary characters from this book and I look forward to reading their stories.

Initial impressions very favorable... No dead or stuck pixels, only minor back light bleed / IPS glow. Seems very easy on the eyes after a bit of use - no obvious flicker of any sort. Quite pleased with this monitor fresh out of the box.

Monitor going strong one year later... not a hiccup...

Question: Quick and easy order/delivery.

Charm is cute.  My daughter loves it!  Quick and easy order/delivery.

Im buzzing. Yep, I found one of those books. A Promise of Fire Is the type of books where all the stars align for me. The cover caught my eye and for the first time in awhile, it wasn't because of abs of steel, the intense eyes of a very HOT guy or an Alpha looking guy who looks tough and bossy. This cover attracted me because of the heroine, cover model, looks kick-arse. I saw the cover and almost instantly had thought of a character like Lara Croft, Tomb Raider. Now, Im the extreme opposite in real life to a person like this, but who doesnt wish they could kinda hold their own in an intense battle. Then, I read the blurb and I was definitely sucked into the want, need and desire to be part of this story. So, I took the plunge and reached for A Promise of Fire.

The story starts with us meeting a very hot (literally) Cat. She is part of a Circus and has been for years. The performers took her under their wing when she turned up nearly dead. They don't know her story, history or how a 15-year-old ended up emaciated, dirty and with blister all over her feet but they care and protect her as well as they can. Cat has felt safe there but she has always been on her guard. She hides her identity and the abilities she was born with. Her mother, the demented freakazoid, wants her back and will do ANYTHING to find her and keep hertrapped tortured and begging. Just like her childhood. Cat will do anything to protect her new familyeven walk away from themtied to what she thinks is an enemy.

Griffin, also known as Beta Sinta, has been watching Cat for some time now. He knows there is something special about her and wants her intensely. He will use whatever means to get her to come with him and his Beta Team even if it involves kidnapping and tying her to himself day and night. Now that he has her in his grasp he knows shes even more special than what he thought. The only slight problem is that she absolutely HATES HIM!! Hes a very determined man, and hes certainly not going to let that be a barrier between them.

I honestly don't want to give too much away. The ride is intense and gripping and at times I couldn't read fast enough or flick the pages quick enough. A Promise of Fire is one of those books where you know you should be getting ready togo to work, feed your kids, have a shower or sleep, but you push the world back for just one more word. The kids won't starve and Ill sleep when Im dead.

I could take away a half star because the beginning world-building was a little confusing and hard to follow, but I find with most first books in a series that it doesnt take long to catch up. A Promise of Fire gives you a lot of information to consider and take in and I know there is a lot more that hasn't even been covered in this first instalment. So that half-star went back on because really, in the end, I know that all the puzzles pieces have yet to be laid out. Im patient, Ill wait with baited breath for more.

A Promise of Fire is full of action, adventure, schemes, deceptions and wars. Dragons, giants and scary creatures are used to fight wars. Magic is everywhere and the more magic you hold either in yourself or with the allies you have, the stronger force you are. There is an intense attraction between Cat and Griffin that jumps off the pages. Cat is fighting it with everything she has, knowing that all those she loves are in danger for knowing her. Griffin will do everything and anything to protect Cat and show her the love he feels for her. I love it when the hero knows what he wants and fights to have it. No giving up from Griffin. At worst, Griffin walks away to start the battle against Cats defences another day.

If you love a good fantasy romance A Promise of Fire is definitely worth checking out. I absolutely LOVED it!!

Question: What a great book from beginning to the end

I was so happy to have won this book in a giveaway and to give my honest review about it. I have to say that although I do love makeup books I never would buy them. They are always way too big and heavy and that is just very inconvenient for me. So the fact that this book is small and light and you could put it in your bag to travel with if you wanted to was a a big deal to me. I thought that all the tips were great. I really loved the fact that she had health tips to go along with the makeup tips as well as pictures of the different brushes and what they do. I would most definitely buy this book as a gift for people that love makeup.

Great all-around game that you should own if you have an Xbox one

Love these flow lights. They have bright and colorful LED lights. Spirit colors are pink and blue, and there are 11 different settings to chose from. Arrived in perfect condition, and they have a flawless design. Super easy to understand and use. Does not come with AAA batteries but if you have a pair handy then you will be flowing in less than 5 minutes.

This is a great adaptation of Cinderella in which she has agency & gets to build a relationship with her prince before the masked ball. She is beloved, but not sugary sweet--actually she is beloved & tough; she takes care of herself & isn't too stubborn to get help. And, her prince & she have a great relationship that grows over the course of the book.

It's well made, and has lots of zippers and pockets. But if you are a "big" woman (or man), the strap JUST fits around my belly area.

Question: The Truth Comes out When People No Longer Care

I enjoyed Fernando's Faura book!  Faura provides the inescapable conclusion that a young woman obviously had foreknowledge of a major event in history, told at least one person of it ahead of time, was positively at the scene of the event and then simply disappeared.  The authorities did a masterful job of intimidating witnesses and misleading the public as to her "non-existence"!  Even with this book, the official story will never change.

Question: This entire book should have been edited down to a single chapter. Furthermore needs to stop writing series and just write  book

This second book in the series, along with the first, should have been edited down to a few chapters in a single book. The story is being stretched out interminably. Great author, but poor editing.

I love these shoes.  I can wear these on the beach or into work on Fridays.  They have that classic look that many competitors try to emulate.  Sperrys are the most popular boat shoe for a reason - quality.  Before these I had the same pair for 6 years, and only bought the new pair because I lost the previous ones.

One thing that is annoying about these shoes, are the blisters.  The skin on your feet has to toughen up at first because the Sperrys are still hard and not broken in yet.  You also have to make sure they fit you perfectly - if not, your toes or heels can continuously become irritated.

We was given this CD by a friend when we were expecting our first child.  We loved the Song "Last Night in Utero".  Now that our son is  born, we play the CD on a daily basis.  The songs are unique and fun for  both baby and parent. We will continue to enjoy "Good Morning  Gus" for years to come.  I highly recommend this CD for all new  parents.  It makes a wonderful gift, too!

A really in-depth analysis of narcissism, written by someone best qualified to describe the mind of a narcissist- one who is one himself. Whether you've survived narcissistic abuse, were raised by a narcissist parent(s) or are just curious about psychology, I highly recommend this book.

Question: Struggle and sadness beautifully written

It has been quite some time since I have read a book so quickly, stealing time away to devour the pages in order to find out what happens to Aidan. The protagonist in "The Gospel of Winter" was so well constructed and fleshed out that his plight pulled you in from the beginning. Brendan Kiely has written about boyhood, on the brink of manhood, with such honesty and clarity that I can only hope he continues to educate his readers in books to come about boys/men and their struggles and triumphs. Looking forward to hearing more from Brendan Kiely soon!

UPDATED  It was very refreshing to get such good customer service and they quickly replaced the broken headset.  These were fantastic and my 12 year old loved them so much when I gave them to her for her birthday... so you can only imagine how disappointing for her they  had a life span of less than two weeks of use...it is refreshing to have a company back their product

This was an excellent movie from start to finish.

Highly recommend you take the time to watch this movie...surprised it didn't receive many accolades like best actor or movie.

I must admit I have used Microsoft Money for a long time.  I had to go with Quicken due to the converter for the bank being discontinued for Money.

Question: Great, but not for power chewers.

My dog loved it! However it's definitely not for power chewers as my dog made very short work of it.

Just built an AMD system with this memory kit.  The timings on this memory are very fast, 7-7-7-19-27 at default voltage of 1.5v.(according to the SPD info)  Using an Asus Crosshair IV MB, and a AMD Phenom II 1090t, I can easily run the combo at 4ghz with a Corsair H70 cooler.  At this speed, I have the memory running at 1.6v@7-7-7-19-27.  If you use this MB, you will have to enter the voltage and timmings manually. This kit also comes with the fan/bracket assembly, but I am not using it, since the ram runs very cool.

If you are building and AMD system, this memory is highly recommended.

Question: A Women of True Virtue and Love

This is a great story of how the Lord knows who we are and knows what we need in life to grow closer to him.  Through tears and through laughter I found myself reading this book as though I were right there with Karin as she made her journey to God, having no real knowledge of Him growing up in Denmark.
 I think it a wonderful story for anyone who loves a good love story and one that has a message: God is real and He cares for us. Karin's Story is a wonderful example of one women's journey to knowing our Saviour and how we all are able to have a journey of our own, all we need do is ask and start walking.

i gave this ample amount of time before writing my review. my issue is this does not stay in place not even for a little bit. Ive slipped numerous times when stepping on it as it just slides across the floor, it was marketed to me as anti-slip anti-fatigue mat so this to me is very dangerous. i need and use it at work where i groom dogs.. i like the padding, its good, BUT there needs to be someway to make this stay in place that actually comes with the purchase, it was marketed that way when i purchased so a bit upset about that. these are the exact words" Textured surface and advanced beveled edge design helps prevent slipping and tripping." I now have to find something and also pay extra money in order to actually use these. very upsetting. please think about this when ordering.

Question: A simply awesome series!!

When I purchased 31 Days of Winter, I had no idea it was a series.  Getting to know Ellie Baxter, then meet her new home's caretaker, Oliver "Dan" Davenport, and read their yummy mutual attraction was seasoned with Dan's grumpy alter ego, Stan, and then learning of his tragic self-sacrifice was mind blowing. But now reading of how their unplugging love and cement bond of a precious little boy blossom into a marvelous and amazing love was so beautiful. In this book, you see Ellie's love grow even thicker and stronger while Dan's reaches epic proportions. The build-up to the amazing fireworks ending and the crescendo finale pages only make you want more. Luckily, I one-clicked the 2nd and 3rd parts of the series at the same time, so I'm about immerse myself in 31 Days of Autumn! Bravo C.J. Fairfield!!!

Question: Easy to install happy to have it

I installed this unit sideways because that's how the plug Was oriented.  But it was easy to install.  As you might guess I don't want to douse it with water to see how water resistant it really is.  Overall it seems fine.

This were so easy to install.  They only came with one set of keys but both keys fit both racks so that was fine.  They do add to wind noise but not nearly as much as my old Outback's cross bars put out and they are SO easy to get on and off.

Question: I like it, Not Love it

Caden's Vow, is a little less than I excepted from the hells eight series. To be honest I kind of lost interest half way through, when I was able to finish the book, it realized I did enjoy Caden's story, but not as much as I enjoyed the books pervious. Good book, but as far as I can say is I like it, Not love it.

I am using this book for classroom training of VB.NET. It is easy to understand and fun to learn from. Some points about the book that I have include:
: This book dedicates a chapter to graphics programming with VB.NET using GDI+. Most other .NET books don't cover this.
: There are plenty of illustrations in the book to help explain the topics being covered. Too bad that there are fuzzy images (although still readable) in the book up to page 157; the remainder of the images are sharp.
: There must be an internal joke at Intertech about how to spell the word "busy" (see page 375). I thought for sure he would correct it after his C# book (see page 339, ISBN: 1-893115-59-3) came out. Maybe I am reading this section wrong.
: Much of the content of this VB.NET book is similiar to the content of his original C# book but with the VB.NET language and content corrections. This is an improved book!
: Many of the examples in his .NET books build upon each other. If you need to try an example in the middle of a chapter, you either need to build from the start of the chapter or download the source code.
: The online errata is quite nice on the Apress site. The author was given the power to update it on the Apress web site as he wishes.
: The info is skimpy on web services (roughly 45 pages). You will need another book on advanced web service techniques. I expect this with a "blanket" book on VB.NET.
I recommend this book to people wanting to learn VB.NET. It was written by a teacher who knows his stuff. The book is easy to read too.

Question: A Great Little Instrument

This melodica is wonderful.  It feels solid in your hands, the details if construction are top notch.  I prefer to play using the shorter blow tube while holding it using the hand strap.  The long tube can be used to play the melodica on a table top.  The instrument does not need much air pressure to make a good sound and the keys are very positive and responsive.  There are no stray air leaks or rattling sounds.  This is a well-built instrument.  The keys are smaller than standard size and take some getting used to. Also, when playing it handheld, it can be difficult to see the keyboard (so close to your face).  There is a valve button on the back; I assume it's a spit valve, but I've never had any water collect in the instrument.  I love this lightweight, portable keyboard.  The sound is closer to an accordion than a harmonica and the tone is very full.  It takes more breath to play chords than single notes(naturally), so a little practice at breath control will improve your playing and dynamics.  I'm glad I bought this.  It is perfect for jams around the campfire.  It comes in a very nice protective case.

This is a great adapter.  Do not buy a "converter," because you could damage your items, like hair dryers & such.  I used in both the UK & Europe, and I also purchased the "Simran SM-60 110V-250V Universal 3 Outlet Power Strip/Surge Protector for Worldwide Travel with Overload Protection, Black."  This gave the three of us three outlets to use.  Highly recommend!

Question: Non Moslem mother says...

I have been searching for religious texts for children from the worlds religions that are firm enough in their view that it shows a contrast to what my child already knows, yest gentle enough in the view that I can bridge the gap and point out the similarities between their view and my own at a child's level.

This definitely fit the bill.

My only complaint is one of formatting. The stories flow from one right into the other with no page breaks. I wish the layout was a little easier to navigate specifically to one story and then back to the table of contents. And the note adding just doesn't seem to be working well in this for some reason.

I read through before reading to my daughter and marked with notes what age I thought she needed to be to get the moral. Some of these stories (just like in all religions) have a more serious and/or mature overtone that I want to keep to a minimum until I think she can understand the moral. Going back and forth to the able of contents and trying to read the notes is just a little cumbersome. Then again, this may just be that I haven't figured out a better way of doing it.

I just got a second one. This storage case is amazing for my thinlet dies from Stampin' Up!. It holds them perfectly in place. I can flip through to find what I am looking for and then either just take that die out or the whole sheet and set it by my big shot. This keeps me amazingly organized! I find when I can reach everything from my chair I am much more efficient while crafting. You will love this. Get a couple refill packs right away if you are a die hoarder... (not that I am speaking from experience...)

Question: Yes, quite a wonderful book

I first read "Lilith" when I was 17. I loved the prose so much, it was so precise and yet almost like watercolor. I read and re-read the paperback until it fell apart. I borrowed a copy from a public library in another city and never returned it. I still have that hardcover copy to this day. I've also read Mr. Salamanca's other works and enjoyed them very much. "Lilith" haunted me so much because of my young impressionable, 17 year old mind. I've long since come to know Dr. Carl Jung and his ideas regarding the "Anima" and the "Animus". An excellent book on this subject is one by Robert Johnson called "We". "Lilith" is not about love, it is about obsession with the female archetype. If mortal man tries to touch the female archetype he will be destroyed. This novel is analogous to the saga of "Tristan and Isolde ." I have come a long way in my understanding of love since first reading "Lilith", and so has Mr. Salamanca. He is one of our finest american writers and for some strange reason is not as well recognized as he should be. Then again, life is never fair...it's not supposed to be.

The vendor's description was spot on, delivery was fast. The product is great! It went on easier than any other screen protector I've ever had, fit perfectly. Would recommend both the product and this vendor.

Question: A novel idea for a romance novel!

Combining two worlds in which never the twain shall meet. Brilliant!

You must read to learn what I'm referring to.

The story was engaging, but there were a few places where the manuscript could've used a finer eye in editing, but overall a great story.

This is a perfect gift for a child age 12 months through 4 years old. The drum itself is a hit, but the extra instruments inside add to the fun. These aren't high quality percussion instruments, obviously, but they still have a nice sound to them. My 1 year old grandson, my 4 year old son, and even my 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son scramble for the different instruments when this comes out. They all love it! We sometimes have to pry the drum away from my 13 year old wanna-be drummer, to be honest. Honestly, the drum is a little large for a short 12 month old, but they can still have a ton of fun with it!

Question: This makes me so sad because as an adoptive mother I'm always on the ...

This makes me so sad because as an adoptive mother I'm always on the lookout for respectful and positive books about adoption. Adoption is an event in a child's life, not who they are. By saying "I AM adopted" you are defining that child (I am smart, I am kind, I am beautiful, etc). By saying "I WAS adopted" you are identifying an event in the child's life. Furthermore, the word "adopt" is a verb, not an adjective, which identifies how a child joins a family. You would never say "I am born," you would say "I was born." Very sad because otherwise it looks like a beautiful book. Please google "Positive Adoption Language" for more info.

Real page turner with surprising twists but I had trouble accepting some of the things the 16-year-old girl did.

Question: Good Gripping Suction Cup

I use this device for my iPod which I run the cord to my car stereo.  The suction cup is very good.  I have not had the clamp fall once (unlike my GPS).  The up/down, left/right, rotation is very easy to adjust and lock into one position.  It also comes with a adheasive dash mount pad (achohol tissue to clean the dash before application included).

Question: Essential for touch pad phones.

A must-have for those of us who have large fingerpads.

This is beyond fabulous.  Perfect enough that I find myself making excuses to stay home and watch it in its 10pm Friday night time slot.  Beyond raunchy enough that I was terribly embarrassed at making my dad stop channel-flipping to watch an episode when I was visiting my parents last weekend.  So universally funny that he laughed more than, and loved it at least as much as, I did.  I love poor, awkward Jeff, and all of the delightfully horrific things that come out of his mouth.  He's probably the only character on television that I can watch make a total idiot of themselves without cringing, becoming terribly self-conscious, and having to change the channel.

Oh my goodness! This piece is extraordinary unique and beautiful! It took forever to get here. I placed the order july 14 and recieved it july 30th, but was well worth the anticipation! If you like to to stand out (in a good way) you will most definitely want this piece!

This collection is great. A bootleg but a good bootleg both audio and video are great. Not sure why reviews are all low. All discs work and have both Japanese and English audio as well as subtitles. The people complaining must be real A/V snobs. A person who just enjoys films will get hours of enjoyment out of this. I was on the fence because of the reviews, so glad I purchased this.

Question: Very Responsible Seller.

I got this vac for my birthday in December and loved it.

Roomba malfunctioned in March and the company was extremely helpful and courteous. Apparently a wire had broken leading to one of the wheels. I was told to return the screen that held the brushes and they would replace my Roomba at no cost to me. I received my vac today! You certainly couldn't ask for a more timely response than three days. Thanks Amazon and IRobot for making life just a bit easier for me.

I heat up water in the microwave to make pour-over coffee. I time it just right so I always get to my favorite brew temp.  After years of using a 32 oz glass measuring pitcher, I thought I would look for something that pours more accurately.  This kettle does just that!  Added benefit:  The glass is thin and light compared to the measuring pitcher, so the water heats faster too.  It cut 45 seconds off the heat up time.

Question: A fantasy tale of a food-loving hero

Bilbo Baggins, was a well respected hobbit who never had any idea that one day he would have a great adventure. Join Bilbo Baginns and his dwarven friends on a quest to thrown the right and legal king and destroy an evil dragon. They will travel up hills and in woods as dark as midnight, they will swim clear pools and stomp muddy, mucky ovals of clay-coloured ground. They will kill ogres and bring down giants. Anything they will do, to thrown the rightful king. I loved this magical book and found it entancing, a tale that will always be loved by the young and old. Read this classic!

This was my first Stone Barrington book I find the character to be a bit weird with no special talents for a main character.  Not that great of a story either.

Question: An uplifting book in the older, "historical fiction" style

I discovered this book at the library and liked it so much that I bought my own copy.  I have since decided that it's best read aloud; there are pleasant subtlties of the rhythm and consonance that I missed in my first quick (and silent) reading.  Also, if you're reading aloud, you can read it to younger children than I would attempt as an independently read chapter book.  Reading aloud solves some of the language challenges.

When I think about this book, I remember the timelessness of the "learning about yourself" and "doing your best" themes.  I remember the high proportion of adults who are helpful and kind -- even the military invaders in this book are kind to children -- and the great number of usually forgotten people who served the public and their country through the social safety net provided by the medieval church.  I think about the author's beautiful illustrations and descriptions of people and places in this medieval, 1300s setting.

What struck me as odd a few minutes ago is that I don't ever think about  the fact that the central character of this book is physically disabled, and how accepted this is by all of the characters in the book.  This is particularly unusual because the book was written more than half a century ago about a time that is more than half a millenium ago, so it well predates the modern sense of "political correctness" or social support for people with disabilities.

The disability drives the plot and the protagonist's character development in some respects, but it's really not dwelt on -- the disability is a fact, and what remains is not to point out how special he is or what noble character he was endowed with, but to see how a pretty average child adapts to life as it is, instead of life as he expected.

Since so many modern books that cross my desk are filled with petty junior-high boy-girl interactions, or write off *all* of the adults as uncaring or useless (or worse), I have particularly enjoyed reading this uplifting book.

All of the characters believe in working persistently towards your goals and doing your best.  Furthermore, in an age of preternaturally precocious protagonists who do daring things but learn very little, Robin has clear character flaws -- he even throws temper tantrums early in the book -- and you can see him growing up as the chapters go by.  Problems are solved, skills are developed, and the solution to the castle's invasion difficulty and Robin's future is resolved in the end.

I know that a study guide is available for this book, but I don't know if "The Door in the Wall" is widely used in schools.  It's length (a little to the short side) is a good recommendation, and it's positive, inclusion-oriented attitude towards people with disabilities also speaks well of it.  Despite the number of pages spent on military actions, it's really a non-violent book, which will appeal to many parents.  (But fewer boys:  it's not gross enough, and everyone will think it's a little slow.)

However, despite these points in its favor, I think that most public school teachers will want to think carefully before using this as REQUIRED reading for ALL students, because it portrays the institutional Christian religion in a uniformly positive manner -- and every public school seems to have at least one loud parent who will be offended by anything that isn't snidely disparaging of religion.  It's a good book, but it's not good enough to risk a lawsuit.

Perfect.  Color is consistent throughout.  Not fancy but wonderfully functional.  My daily use tea pot.

Question: A beautiful, unconventional dark romance.

This is most definitely not your normal touchy feely love story and not for those offended easily, but I absolutely loved it. The author has such a way of writing about such a dark topic, but bringing you in and keeping you intrigued throughout the entire ride. This was not what I had originally anticipated, but was well worth the surprise!

I love books with a happy ending.  The character development in this story was wonderful.  Julianne was a very interesting girl.  I was fascinated by the gradual transition in her thinking, and frustrated by her rationalizations that caused her to lie and/or hold back the truth.  She caused herself a lot of heartache for many years.  Kyle, however knew who he was and what he believed and remained steadfast throughout.

Question: So ridiculously underrated

This is one of my all-time favorite albums, and has been since the mid/late '80s. Unlike some other records, even great ones, from the '80s, it's still fresh -- I don't listen to it as a nostalgia record, it's one of those records I've just always played, because it never got old. The album has a definite Western theme, but it's more rock than C&W for the most part. It's heavy on ballads, like "All is Quiet..." and "The Preacher" -- not ballads as in slow love songs, but songs that tell engaging stories. Lots and lots of guitars, incredible vocals, strong songwriting... I never got why they weren't huge.

Recently my old mouse broke(left button stopped clicking) and I needed to find a replacement. I wanted something that looked comfortable and had lights so it could match with my desktop and keyboard so I went with this. From my experience with some gaming mice, anything under $50 usually looks and feels like junk, and the lights usually look cheap. This was not the case with this mouse. I was positively surprised with every aspect of this mouse. I have never heard of this brand, but everything about it screams PRO. The original box with the mouse was inside the package safely tucked in bubble wrap. The box looks good and gives you a quick summary of the mouse. The mouse itself looks and feels very high quality. It comes with a driver for the mouse which has a program to configure it and change the colors. The lights on it look VERY VERY good. The light looks diffused and very sleek and clean. You can even add more weight to this mouse, and change the resting pad for the fingers which is very nice. I really have no words to describe how much I like this mouse. Out of all of the mice I have used so far, and I both game and do  serious video editing and visual effects, this mouse is perfect for me. In my opinion, there are no negative sides to this mouse. if there was ever a wireless version of this exact mouse, I would buy it in a heartbeat no matter the cost. For the price, the mouse is a steal because of the look, functionality, and how it feels.

Question: A huge amount of work and knowledge, but alas for the method

I feel very sad to write unpleasant things about a book that displays such a wonderful and truly immense erudition on nearly all the indoeuropean field. The author wants to go further than Max Muller and than Georges Dumezil did. However those authors cannot be compared because the  indoeuropean studies made much progress between them. Dumezil lived much  later than Max Muller (he died in 1986) and developed an adaptative and  impressive method in his analysis of Indoeuropean stuff. Such a method is  truly difficult to master because of the proteiform qualities it demands  and because of the necessity of structuring all the stuff that is studied.  Alas, when reading Michael York's book I could not find which method was  leading the author in his investigation. But perhaps was I blind ?

Kinda surprised I like the ballpoint better than the gel. I'm a gel guy, but this is the best ballpoint I have ever used. Love them both. Well made and look forward to my next Parker.

Lisa O'Shea has used her 24 years experience of Reiki and 18 years of Qigong and Tai Chi, to develop and present a regimen of coordinated breathing and movement that will benefit practitioners.  She is a certified qigong therapist from Chinese Healing Arts Center, certified qigong instructor from YMAA.

Lisa O'Shea presents 180 minutes of easy-to-follow qigong exercises promote increasing and/or sustaining good health and healing.  The "no" impact nature of the exercises offers a great regimen to practitioners with physical restrictions and therefore may be a suitable program for wellness and health programs at businesses and assisted care facilities.

As an martial arts school manager, I believe that Qigong classes can be marketed as a supplement to the standard martial arts program, targeting a clientele who may be interested in an alternative to joining a fitness facility, or more physically demanding health and fitness activities such as running, lifting weights, etc., or maybe just have a hesitancy or aversion to tai chi. This YMAA DVD serves as a great starting place to explore the possibilities of adding qigong to your school curriculum.  Viewers who enjoy this DVD may also be interested in White Crane Hard/Soft Qigong DVD by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming and YMAA.

I needed this to connect my wireless headphones to a Samsung smart TV with only an optical audio out.  Works pretty well but get a little static noise.  This could be the fault of my inexpensive wireless headphones.

This would have been perfect except that it only runs by light sensor, not by timer. I needed it for the plant beds in our foyer, but since we're turning the overhead lights on and off all the time and you can't just tell this timer to turn on based on time of day, the lights would be going on and off at all the wrong times.

Excellent book!  She writes with a wonderful sense of humor and you feel like you are there with her and her daughter-who also has a great sense of humor and is quite grounded.  It's like your best friend is telling you these great stories and not leaving anything out.  I would highly recommend this book to anyone travelling or like me, who dreams of traveling!

This charming story is perfect for nudging children's imaginations.  The descriptive style allows the reader to easily visualize each part of the Leprechaun/human adventure, and serves as an excellent example of creative writing.  This endearing tale of an unusual friendship's growth would be a wonderful addition to a home library for young children and would fit beautifully in an elementary school media center or classroom.

Question: Maraniss is a wonderful writer and very evenhanded.

David Maraniss doesn't have an axe to grind and that's what makes reading this book so rewarding.  The reader can draw his own conclusions about the highs and lows of Bill Clinton's character.  Maraniss's work is meticulouly  researched but never plodding.  He masterfully evokes time and place (Old  Oxford, free-wheeling student-power Yale).  Maraniss stays true to his  themes from beginning to end.  A great story teller!  It played like a  mini-series in my mind.

This book has everything.  It has a dance troop called the Happy Hoofers performing on a boat in Paris where the owner of the boat and his wife are murdered.  While the ladies are never really considered as suspects, they are involved in the mystery surrounding the crimes.  In fact, our heroine, is more involved than she might wish.
Much of the book reads like a love letter to Paris.  As a travelogue, it makes the reader want to visit the City of Lights.  Between the wonderful descriptions of all the tourist delights and the fashion tips, the characters get shorter shrift than they deserve.
They are interesting characters who might have been fully developed in the previous adventures but from the perspective of someone new to the series, they failed to make me want to backtrack and read all of the previous books.  I love it when a series grabs me that way.  However, having said that, I might be persuaded to give the girls another twirl as some future time.

Question: Stayed well stuck to my fridge, holds pods neatly

For under $20, this pod holder is much better than the $25 Keurig "Carousel Tower" it replaced. Counter-top space has been cleared, the cork section at the top adds a nice feature, and I actually like having four different "channels" for the pods. And for anyone curious about how this mounts to the fridge - the magnets are already attached, and there's also two strips of adhesive on the back. If you peel the back off the adhesive strips, they will work in conjunction with the magnets to keep itself in place. Just make sure you clean the fridge first, and then let the adhesive "set" for an hour or so afterwords, before filling it up with pods.

Cheep, flimsy and doesn't work.  A total waste of money

Question: Hat and bells worth it; shoes? Not so much.

We needed these for a Christmas play, and I didn't want to spend $15 for shoes and still have to buy the hat and ears, so I thought this bundle would be a good alternative. Well, the hat and shoes are made out of felt and very flimsily sewn: several of the shoes came out of the package with holes along the seamline. There is no grip on the bottom, and the curly toes don't stay up by themselves, but rather, fall down under foot.  We ended up duct taping all the shoes after dress rehearsal so they would hold together. The hats held up fine. We didn't use the necklaces and wrist bells, because the elves had to be quiet behind the stage, but they seem to be ok. In retrospect, it would have been worth it to invest in proper elf shoes, because we can't use the shoes again, but hey, they met our need and served the purpose for the moment.

This thermometer did exactly what you'd want it to do.  Confirmed my oven temperatures which was helpful.  Found 'cool spots' for me.

Question: Epic: Beautifully animated, but not really that...epic.

Naming your very film "Epic" is a tall order. The word "epic" suggests sweeping scope, grand action, and impossible odds. But EPIC is about a race of little people 5 inches tall. It's highest stakes are the survival of a patch of forest and the size of a 16 year old girl. Is EPIC epic?

No, not really. The scope is not all that grand, the screenplay is a derivative mash of other movies (Part Arthur & Invisibles, part Ferngully: The Last Rainforest). The film lacks the inspiration and the ingenuity that makes Pixar so great, the entertaining characters of Disney, but comes up close with DreamWorks in terms of lush atmosphere and beautiful animation (Is it just me, or is DreamWorks on a roll with How to Train Your Dragon, Kung-fu Panda 2, and The Croods?). I've never really LOVED Blue Sky Studios. I mean, the first ICE AGE is entertaining, but ROBOTS, HORTON HEARS A WHO, and the ICE AGE sequels were really hit-or-miss. RIO was fun and colorful, and like EPIC, beautifully animated, but Blue Sky has yet to combine heart, humour, excellent animation, and a great plot. Still, Epic impressed me in several ways, and I will go over them below.

So those are my cons. That and Beyonc, whose voice performance is woefully out of place.

But as I said above, EPIC impressed me. It is the most gorgeously animated, beautifully drawn, lush, atmospheric, detailed, visually stunning animated film I have seen all year. The detail put into the costumes, down to the clasps and buckles, harnesses, and jewelery is simply incredible. The characters are beautifully designed and rendered, behaving naturally and realistically. The proportions are realistic, and the animation of the lush green trees and sparkling streams will take your breath away. A small scene with a deer will take your breath away. I give the film extra points for being the most colorful, breathtakingly animated children's film I've seen in a long time.

The voicework, too, is superb. Amanda Seyfried and Josh Hutcherson are excellent as human teen Mary-Katherine (who goes by MK) and the reckless Nod. The supporting cast, which include Steven Tyler, Pitbull, and Jason Sudeikis are beyond criticism, but the two standout roles are that of Colin Farrell and Christoph Waltz, who imbibe their cool characters with charisma, emotion, and energy. Farrell plays Ronin, the sword-wielding, hummingbird-flying, bottom-kicking head of the "Leafmen", while Waltz plays the surprisingly sympathetic and fully-fleshed villain - Mandrake.

Other areas where EPIC succeeds is the typically-good Danny Elfman score (he's never bad!), the action, in which "Boggans" and "Leafmen" fight with surprisingly real and devastating consequences, and the presence of two incredibly cute snails, who give the much-needed levity.

In conclusion, EPIC might not be as epic as it thinks it is, nor as original or inspired, but as a gorgeously animated, character-strong animated film that provides kids with good role-models and messages, while entertaining them with "epic" conflicts and amazing visuals...it ain't half bad! My rating? Four pods out of five.

Interesting shorter yarn that uses its tight space to provide a solid sense of setting, characters, and plot.
