Question: arrived on time but the only thing that was missing ...

arrived on time but the only thing that was missing was the tag holder that attaches to the collar. I had to use a key holder from some extra keys I had in a drawer.

It doesn't happen often, in my opinion, that a sequel is better than the first book. And no matter how much I loved Shadow & Bone, Siege & Storm was just on a whole new level. I haven't read many books that are this captivating.

Not only did I love the plot line, which changed so often, but the characters in this book were just out of this world. I loved most of the new characters that were introduced. In some sequels, when they bring in new people it can feel as if they have no reason to be there, as if they don't contribute to the story at all. But that was definitely not the case here. Stormhund, Tolya, Tamar, they were just surprising. They kept evolving and changing until it had become hard to imagine that the previous book didn't include them.

I can't believe I'll have to wait till June to read Ruin & Rising, but I guess I'll have to power through those months!

Question: As expected and happy with purchase

I needed two rain ponchos, one for me and one for hubby.  These work great.  Just use them when we are out in the yard doing something in the rain.  They are a generous size and length.  Perfect for what we need.  Price was good for two ponchos.

I have to say that when I heard this phone was a good entry level for Android products I assume that it was being compared to the top tier of phones. However I did not realize that it was being compared to a hunk of plastic. This phone can make calls and text messages but really nothing else. I didn't expect to use the phone for very many APs but I thought I would be able to use it for more than 2. The problem with this phone is its lack of internal memory. I was constantly having my memory filled by automatic updates.if you're buying this phone for someone who doesn't use a lot of technology and you think it'll be enough for them it won't be. There are better in trouble phones in this for a similar price go for 1 of those.if you're thinking about doing this for Grandma don't She'll be just as frustrated as I was.

Question: very nice casters for my hardwood floor

very nice casters for my hardwood floor.
quiet and smooth.
my original plastic caster that came with the office chair
did not work well and scratched the floor.

Overall I really liked this scarf organizer... Only drawback is that the metal is not 100% smoothe and your scarfs still tend to snag.

Question: Hilarious... But Not To Be Used In Bed

...at least, if you don't want to piss anybody off. :-)
Gomez's adventures, the ridiculous situations he goes through and his extravagant ideas are hilarious. The kind of hilarious you cannot help but to burst out laughing in the middle of the night.
This a novel meant to make the reader have a good time. Well written, confusing at times because of the nature of the characters and addicting.
I truly had a good time reading it.

This case is incredible. Fit and finish is perfect and it fits extremely snug. Adds minimum bulk and I dropped my phone flat on its face on tile from approximately 4 ft and not even a scratch!

Question: Fascinating. Well Written. Too Bad It Had To End

This is a great biography of three great female pop stars: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon. Carole King's life is covered, from her early years, to her job as a Brill Building song writer with Gerry Goffin, and we also see her evolution into a Laurel Canyon California single mom, and into several more marriages and relationships that didn't last. We also see her struggle to come to grips with trying to write and record musical compositions that stand up to her Tapestry album.

Joni Mitchell had the same issues, as her latter day recordings were constantly compared to her early albums, and they were found wanting by most critics. You also read about her tempestuous relationships. She and Carly Simon had lots of men in their lives, and it is amazing how these failed relationships find poetic expression in their songs. I'll never listen to Joni's Car on a Hill from the Court and Spark album the same way ever again.

It was also neat to learn that Carly Simon's "Anticipation" was written while she was waiting for Cat Stevens to pick her up on a date, and he was several hours late!

James Taylor figures prominently at times, as he was once lovers with Joni and married to Carly. His addiction to heroin basically killed his marriage to Carly.

These women succeeded tremendously in the artistic world, yet struggled greatly in the romantic world. Carole in particular went from one bad relationship to another, and you end up feeling a little sorry for her. I hope that she finds someone who makes her feel like a natural woman.

On the other hand, Joni comes off as a controlling woman with freaky moments where she seems to lose it, like when she almost kills herself over Jackson Browne and when she hauls off and slaps her adult daughter. I always liked her songs, but this book made me a little afraid of her.

Carly is a passionate woman who wants to be a good mom and as normal as one can be in the pop diva world.

It seems that these brilliant, artistic women struggled most of their lives to find peace, satisfaction and meaning. The author does a great job of involving you in their lives. One reviewer said that the only thing wrong with this book is that it had to end. I agree. Thumbs up.

These slides are super cute - the color is bright and pretty. It also stays on the foot. Just on looks & solid construction it would get 5 stars. However, I bought the shoe to give me a slide version of the Keen Newport sandal which is the perfect shoe for dealing with plantar fasciitis. I was expecting a similar footbed. But the Bali footbed is harder than the Newport and is not the same outline as the Newport. The footbed is constructed from a different material. Thus it does not give the comfortable, gentle support I have enjoyed in the Newport and I won't be able to continue wearing them.

Question: There's a big difference in American sizes and Asian sizes ...

There's a big difference in American sizes and Asian sizes.  Instead of using it as intended, I ended up re purposing the plastic as part of my snow gear for snowboarding and my Wolverine cosplay.

These are the best 2.1 computer speakers available and you won't regret it if you buy them; however, the satellites have some definite limitations.  Some people say the sats are weak in the midtones, but to me it's the lows and highs that seem weak -- the sounds just above subwoofer freqs, and again above 10KHz, are weak.  To get around this problem I replaced the Logitech satellites with Polk Audio monitor 30 speakers.  With this combination I can keep the handy Logitech desk control which also has quick sub control and headphone access, but get much richer sound.  All it took was a pair of 18gauge speaker cables with RCA connectors (cut one end off) from Radio Shack.  The Logitech+PolkAudio combination is great at a total price of about $200.  I use them for computer speakers where I do most of my listening.  The sub drives the Polk Audio speakers and does a nice job of it.  These speakers have a MUCH fuller sound in both highs and lows that the Logitech Z-2300 satellites.  I highly recommend this combination if you have room for the speakers.  I also ordered some wall mounts and when they arrive I will be able to free up more space on my desk area.  The Polk Audio (and most other bookshelf speakers) are video shielded but may not be shielded against low freq magnetic fields, so they will be fine around your monitor, but I would keep them away from magnetic media (don't put them right next to your computer case).

Question: What a shpidoinkle day!!!!!

This film is probably one of Troma's best ever!  And with the creators of South Park by Troma's side, it's sure to be the most shpidoinkle movie you will ever see.  This movie is fit for all ages, even the kids will love the  the wacky fun that comes with chopping up a dead guy's butt!

"Horse sh*t smelled like horse sh*t no matter where you were in the world."

For those of you who know me, this quote harmonizes with me & summarizes this compilation of fantastically coordinated short stories. An amazing writer is an amazing writer no matter where she is in the world. And these amazing authors did just that. Seeker's Island isn't just a journey for the authors, for the characters, but an adventure for its readers. I am amazed how so many different women could come together and write so many different stories that are yet so incredibly alike. I enjoyed every single one of them and also had my eyes introduced to some new writers as well. "You get your heart's desire if you know what your heart really wants." The theme of the island, the theme of each plot, the theme of an amazing read!!

I quote from the authors section, "crazy does not begin to describe this wild group of clever and passionate women..."

Question: The Perfect Kindle Fire

I bought myself a 7 inch Kindle Fire HD over a year ago, and for the most part it worked really well except for two things: I wanted a bigger screen, and the memory (16gigs) didn't last very long.

I bought the Kindle Fire HDX and it solves both of my problems. Additionally the screen works a lot more smoothly than the last model, and the colors are sharper.

The keyboard on screen works great. I found it easier than expected to load up a word processor and type a quick draft of a manuscript.

For anyone on the fence about whether to include the special offers or not - save your money and just keep them. They're not a hassle in any way. They only appear on the lock screen, and there is a tab on your menu to view all your offers. Sometimes the offers are worthless, while others are awesome like free credit to Amazon's MP3 or video store!

If you're in the market for a tablet and you're a lover of all things Amazon, this is a fantastic device. It's smooth, colorful, unbelievably light, and the 32gigs is just enough to load up some of your favorite movies, games, and apps.

Lisa See is one of my most favorite authors; I have learned so much about the history of the Chinese people, both in China and America from her novels. I lived in San Francisco for 5 years in the late 60's, and I was surprised to recognize so many landmarks that were still there. In my opinion, she is one of the best authors of today. I have read all of her books, and they were  the best history classess of China and America  that I could  ever have experienced.

I experimented and cooked this in my microwave.  I mix with the 2 egg recipe in a large bowl. I scoop a one inch layer into a mini loaf dish and put in microwave for 2 mins.  I have 2 large warm brownies to go with my morning coffee.  I save the rest of the batter in the bowl in the fridge and cook as I go, if you call microwaving cooking.  I am aware that micowaves vary, so you may have to experiment with your microwave timing to get perfect brownies to you taste.  I get 5-6 mini loaf dishes worth from a 20 oz box.  This brownie mix has the richest chocolate I have tried.

Question: Excellent Fundamentals

This is the book I had been looking for a long time. Most 3d Software Manuals or tutorials tell you how to do something. But, this book explains why. It also explains the differences in software concepts: Ray tracing vs. scan rendering, surfaces vs. meshes, the different types of textures, and the different ways to apply them. Lighting & camera utilization. A must for every 3d artist.

Question: we still have it sitting in the old empty low litter pan as our old lady cat like to squat at the low step in side

Even when our male cat stands to pee, it catches everything.  we still have it sitting in the old empty low litter pan as our old lady cat like to squat at the low step in side, and sometimes she misses completely.  Oh well, better than what we had.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Redemption is a Blu-ray TV movie like best of both worlds,

The Enterprise is en route to Qo'nos so Captain Picard can finish is duty to the Klingon Empire as arbiter of secession to the empire's chancellorship.

While en route Enterprise is intercepted by Gowron's [the next legal successor to the late Chancellor K'mpec] flagship the bortaS Gorown warns Captain Picard that Lursa and B'etor the sisters of Duras are planning to move against his installation as Chancellor.

When Gowron is finally confirmed as the only legal successor this gives Worf a chance to end a despicable injustice that was forced upon the house of Mogh and his father's memory but not all Klingons are too happy with the installation.

The sisters of Duras start a civil war with the aid of the Romulans and their leader who is the spitting image of LT. Natasha Yar the former security chief of the Enterprise who died three years earlier and with a warning that she will "deal" with Captain Picard

The story is great and the effects while not CG will look great!
If the best of both worlds blu-ray is anything to go by

The only thing I know I won't like is the picture will be in 4:3 format which means ugly black lines on the side but that is the only down side to it.

The one thing I do like about it is that it's a region free blu-ray disc and since I have to wait over a month for it to be imported to the UK it means that I will get to see it since paramount in its finite wisdom has decided the Europe won't get this at least I will get it

Even if you are not a trek fan or a sci-fi fan in general I think you will enjoy the story of "Redemption" with Worf figuring out how to integrate into his native heritage and culture that he has not experienced since he was orphaned at 6 years old when his parents were murdered by the Romulans during the Khitomer massacre.

Question: Great first bra for my little girl

Great first bra for my little girl. The pads aren't too bulky and stay in place. I bought all the colors after we tried the first one!

After 8 years of marriage and several attempts with other books to get through some lingering issues we wanted to improved, this has been a true blessing!  In truth, it needs to be paired with the companion book, If Only He Knew to be read by your spouse at the same time.  Realistic issues portrayed, practical solutions laid out clearly.  All sorts of wisdom I had not heard before, much of it just on understanding how God made your husband so differently.  They are older books, but the struggles of marriage really do stay the same.  Could work for non-Christian couples, but not with the same power.  These books have been so valuable to us we want to make sure that we go over them with our children before they marry, sure wish we had had them before we had married!

Question: Was apprehensive about this purchase.

My children used to watch this. I hated having to re-purchase it in a new format. I own it already on VHS, but I no longer have a VHS player!
2 3/4 year old grandson LOVED IT! He watched it five times in a row on it's debut in my home. He asked for it again the next time he came over. He wanted to take it home to his house. My daughter-in-law said that we should leave it so it can be a special thing when he comes to Bubbie's house! ( She was not familiar with it and thinks it a bit creepy and old fashioned)  My 10 month granddaughter was rocking out to it also.

really great quality! the fabric is softer than i thought it would be, these probably need to be taken inside rather than left out all the time. but i love the color and the quality is great-really squishy and comfoortable...thick and nice ;)

Question: Mine it for ideas, but presentation was disappointing.

The book has some interesting new takes on the old Marvel roleplaying FASERIP system, but the quality of the paper (my copy has some wrinkled pages and the edge of the cover is warped) was disappointing.

The various character types and backgrounds cover everything youd expect from street level to cosmic heroes and villains and the powers list is extensive.

But all the pros cant make up for the awful character art, which is mostly comprised of blurry  Poser models in poses that don't evoke action.

I purchased this extender for my best friend's monogrammed necklace I gave her just like mine. I gave her the sterling silver necklace and it was fixed to the chain so it couldn't be charged. It was just a bit too short. I picked this up and gave it to her and it worked perfectly. Her necklace hangs at a much better length for her. Now we can both wear ours and be twins!!!

Question: A must for the newbie

My wife bought me this shortly BEFORE I bought my bow. I suppose she got sick of hearing me talk about getting into archery and felt this would help appease me (or even change my mind). She was right. I ended up with my face buried in this book for weeks, and then even more after I bought my bow and began shooting.

 It covers a lot of ground for the beginner. Detailed explanations of terminology, the history of bow types, techniques, and even sources for equipment can be found here. There are a multitude of photos to accompany the chapters, which help to illustrate the topics of discussion (unlike those found in some other archery books, which have nothing to do with anything being discussed).

 So, if you're new to archery or are switching from a compound to instictive shooting, this one comes highly recommended.

I left it open for the cats to explore before they used it for travel.  They loved it!  I believe this will make a much nicer experience when traveling to the vet.

Question: Seems okay, though I would buy something else.

This appears to be a decent, average-quality padlock. The combination setting rollers seem to be the same sort of thing used on similar locks, which are in turn the same pieces used on luggage and other items for decades. The product description emphasizes the durability of the body; the body, though, is not the weak point of a padlock -- the shackle is. The shackle says "hardened" on it and so I will assume that it is hardened steel; it has been reported, though, that the shackles on some Chinese-made padlocks say "hardened" when in fact they're not. Bolt-cutters will get through them in either case, though.

There's probably nothing wrong with this lock. Personally, I would probably buy instead the Master Lock padlock of which this is a Chinese knockoff. But maybe I'm just a sucker for name brands.

This first book in the Lord and Lady Hetheridge series is a great beginning.  If you want a tidy conclusion to these character's lives you'll be disappointed.  As far as British crime/detective novel it was pretty good.  The story was interesting, not too predictive (though I did figure a few things out ahead of time) and the relationship dynamic was sweet and clean (a few suggestions that adult readers will understand but no profanity or sex).  The particular homicide laid out in this book was solved but you will be left with relationship cliff hangers for which you will want to read the rest of the series.

Detective Chief Superintendent Hetheridge is a Baron, so he's part of the upper crust.  His family was not particularly thrilled with his choice of occupation, but New Scotland Yard uses him to deal appropriately with the aristocracy.  Due to an in-office disagreement between a male Superintendent and a female DS, DCS Hetheridge takes DS Wakefield under his wing.  They are immediately set upon a murder that has taken place in the upper class; as a matter of fact the widow of the victim is the DCS's former fiance.  As the inquiry goes on, we are left wondering which of the guests at the engagement party of the victim's daughter has done this crime.  There doesn't seem to be much love lost for the victim so everyone is a suspect.  DS Wakefield goes on a hunch and finds her life threatened.  Will DCS Hetheridge make it in time and will he let her know he's fallen in love with her; a woman who is almost 30 years his junior as well as his subordinate?

I would like to read the rest of the series, but I was a little disappointed there was not more conclusion to DS Wakefield and DCS Hetheridge's relationship.

It functions when it does not turn itself off while cooking. On more that one occasion I have been smoking something and look at the display and it have shut down. I have had to do a reset (pin in the little hole) to get it to start working. Lucky so far that I have not just counted on hearing the alarm when temp is met as that could have been a disaster.

Question: ... and no "lips" along the bottom make this really easy to clean

Rounded corners and no "lips" along the bottom make this really easy to clean.  Kitty loves it too.

I purchased a Samsung SH-S223 back in March 2009 for my Shuttle I7-920 build.  The drive has performed flawlessly since then.

I'm now doing an i7-2600K build (in a HAF-X) case and went to buy another drive.  I was taken aback by the low rating of this device until I discovered that it was written by someone who was complaining that the SATA Cable wasn't included.

Big deal - It's still the "Best of the Best" (by Maximum PC) rated DVD drive/burner on the market at a down right cheap price!  It runs rings around my Plextor drive in another system I have (purchase around the same time, but just before I discovered the Samsung drive).  The speed is as advertised.  I have zero complaints about this drive and like it a lot.

Note - there are lots of sub models of the SH-S223, but it looks to me like the only differences are the mounting options and whether Litescribe is included.  The guts are (except for Litescribe drives) the same.

I have a pile of good quality SATA cables I picked up at the local swap meet for $0.02 each... So I'm willing to throw in my 2 Cents!

I'm buying another drive for my new build.

Question: Best grip ever. Period.

So first off, RDVX is probably the best griptape I have ever ridden and I've tried all the different grips out there: ultra-course Jessup, vicious, you name it. RDVX beats all of them in longevity and in quality. I've had the same grip on my Vecter 37 for about a year and a half now and it's still like new (just with a few dirt spots that make it a little worn). Not only does it last super long, but it also is very gritty. I feel super confident riding this grip on all types of terrain because I know that my feet are never going to slip off. Anyways, buy this grip. You won't be disappointed.

I liked the writer's style of writing everything from the protagonist's perspective.  It fit the theme of the book.  The ending was a bit of a surprise.  This book gives you some things to think about.

Question: I LOVE This CD!  It is EXCELLENT!

Don't hesitate to buy this wonderful CD.  When Harpo plays the harp it is magical.  The songs on this CD are incredibly beautiful.  You'll want to listen to it time and time again. I was so moved by Harpo's playing that I have started to learn how to play the harp myself.  LOL!!!  (If you want to hear my progress so far, go to [...])

Works great, was accurate when compared to my wife's Fluke meter.  The reception easily surpassed my older wireless (which was rated at 50', its usable range was less than that), probably doubled it. Only complaint is it's so complicated I had to read the manual to get the settings correct. Usually I can just press buttons and figure it out, but this one I couldn't...guess I'm getting too old ;)

To make the batteries last long, I remove them after each use; I left them in once and they were dead the next time I wanted to use it. This was most likely due to the main unit having a memory function.

Question: Excellent  value. Not a "tough" solar, though module 5330.

'II've added a star since I made my purchase. In my experience with half a dozen Casio wristwatches this should last several years. Instructions are in English, Chinese,  Italian, French and German.

I followed the directions and did a water test prior to actually putting my $600 phone in. It was without leaks, so I proceeded with installation. The pros: It is light weight, comes in great colors (I picked pink), comes with a 3.5mm earpiece adapter, a wrist strap, and cleaning cloth. Also, no need to buy a separate screen protector! And yes, the fingerprint still works even through the waterproof covering.
The cons: my extra long charging cable (not OEM) won't fit, so I have to use my shorter OEM cable (it was made to fit Apple products). It is extremely hard to re-open. I got a piece of dust under the screen protector and had to take it apart. It was harder than I thought even with using a coin as suggested in the instructions (this does speak to how it keeps our water though). Lastly, I have had a few instances were my typing was not working well. I used the cleaning cloth to clean the screen and it was fine after that.

I have enjoyed reading every single Mrs. Polifax mystery. This first book is just as good as the last one in the series. The books are easy reads and Mrs. Polifax is an extremely likable character.

I bought these because I did not want to give my money to proctor and gamble or the other companies that test their products on animals.  I'm unsure if these are really doing anything or not thought.  I've let them sit out in the sun to "recharge" them.  I guess they're doing what they're supposed to idk?

Nice product and most children like sticker books. Age appropriate for 5-10 year old children. There is not a lot of text with the booklet.

We are using this for sensory and learning play with my three year old and he is really enjoying it. We also enjoyed the quick shipping, the package arrived a day earlier than expected even!

Question: Peculiarly Good Page Turner!

It's yet another great page turner in the annals of Christopher Fowler's mystery series!  The really peculiar thing about Bryant and May, is that the quality of Fowler's writing AND stories does not diminish from book to book.  Quite a feat in the world of serial mysteries.

I'm a big fan of short story compilations and this one had the right amount of scary, freaky, creepy and interesting. I enjoyed them all.

M.T. Murphy-Blackmail- Fun vampire story, the twists were fun and the ending a delight.

S.M. Reine-Something Wrong- Very creepy! VERY. I advise not to read while babysitting.

India Drummond-The Reaver- Disturbing tale of soul taking, and a good reminder to parents: Don't break a promise to your child!

Anabel Portillo-Lux- The perfect monster killer, created by a madman!

Jeremy C. Shipp-Figs-  Love comes back gently...with odors and revenge.

Samantha Anderson-Deals and Demons- "Two of four, three of three, five of one."

Sara Reinke-Periphery People- To drink or not to drink...

M.T. Murphy-Spider Bag- Useless vampire wannabe's, a werewolf and more reasons to fear spiders (and Lucy)!

The artwork was a wonderful bonus too!

Question: A sort of memoir in verse

Best read as an adjunct to Ms. Newman's memoir, "Here All Along," this volume of poems describes Ms. Newman's love for her daughters, her battles with abusive former husbands and a significant amount of personal growth through it all.

Nicely done rhymes, with some bonus material at the end in which Ms. Newman shares funny tales about her kids.  Good work all the way around.

I really enjoyed this book and was surprised at the inspiration I found here.  I have enjoyed all the Duggar family shows, beginning in 2004 when I was pregnant with my last son in a high risk pregnancy.  I didn't sleep well at night and caught an episode in the wee hours of the morning. I'm not sure how, but it helped me get through a tough time. I admire their steadfast Christian values, their honesty, their forthrightness in discussing personal issues in a way that can benefit and inspire readers. Their are truly using their lives as a example to inspire others. Although I have always like the family from that first show, I did think they were overly conservative on some of their lifestyle choices....the clothing choices ect..
After reading the book, I get it.
I know some people comment negatively on having so many children, but that has never been an issue for me.  It works for them.....and they are a close loving family; how can anyone question that?
I think the family has chosen a lifestyle that embraces God's design for humanity. Because of their example, I am inspired to do better in so many areas of my life....from redisovering Christian values to living a more frugal lifestyle, to learning to save money for what I want to purchase.
I have learned alot through the book's commonsense and practical precepts and I am inspired to make changes in my lifestyle.
There is no subject they don't discuss in this book.  It is a great tool for family management, home organization, frugal living and Christian inspiration.  I highly recommend this book to all readers!

Question: Fascinating Look Into History

Read it years ago. Bought it for husband. History lesson in internet and internet security infancy. Great book!

Being a little obsessive about preparing for some hiking trips, I bought this book although I also own Ann Marie Brown's "Day Hiking California's National Parks" and Bert Gildart's "DVNP:  A Guide to Exploring the Great Outdoors."  The one advantage this book has over the other two is that it describes 36 hikes, as opposed to 21 in Brown's book and about 10 in Gildart's book, which mixes in hikes with drives.  What I found sorely lacking in this book, as opposed to Brown's book (and other hiking books I own), is the lack of some basic information that I think most people want to know when trying to select which hikes they want to partake in during their trip.  For example, Brown always starts off by listing the starting elevation and the total elevation change during the hike.  I would think that's something most people would want to know beforehand.  The crude elevation charts and maps in this book only show marks at 1000 foot (or even greater in some cases) intervals.  Also, other than a very brief list of the authors' favorite hikes on page 130, there is little to help a potential visitor select one hike from another.  Unlike Brown's book there is no rating of the quality of the hike, nor of the crowd level.
Therefore, this book might be helpful for someone who lives in the area, and plans to do lots of hiking in this park--probably over a period of months or years.  This book does, after all, include a larger number of hikes.  For someone with just a few days who plans on doing just a few hikes, however, this book would be less helpful.  I hope that in subsequent editions, the authors will see fit to add ratings scales and trail elevation data--something which should be relatively easy to obtain in these days of light portable trail GPS's.
Finally, although the title states "36 Day and Overnight hikes," I'm not sure which hike(s) the authors feel are overnight hikes.  According to the authors' own estimates, the longest hike they discuss, time-wise, takes 7-10 hours (Telescope Peak).  Camping isn't really discussed for any of these hikes, other than a mention of a "somewhat protected tent site 2.6 miles in" from the Telescope Peak trailhead, and a 2 sentence description of campgrounds on page 18.

Question: this TV is fantastic!

I bought this for my dorm room and it fits perfectly, looks larger because of the edgeless display, and the picture is always crystal clear especially when hooked up to bluray.

Ive been in rooms with some of the most talented producers, engineers, and musicians. Some with Grammys, #1 records, and world wide success and this is the only book Ive read that ever gets close to how records are made.

Question: Wow - I can't believe how much I cried, you need to see this movie

I watched this movie alone one afternoon and boy did I cry.  I can only attribute my overwhelming feeling of sadness to sexual abuse I suffered as a child.  My abuse was horrible but it does not come close to what I watched.  I cried during the movie and a good while after it ended.  This is a movie that adult should watch and learn what is out in the world.  This movie is well made and while some didn't like the ending, I did.  I cannot excuse the neighbors who refused to get involved when there was clear indications of something very bad happening in that house.  One more thing I should say, I didn't report my abuse, a regret I will take to my grave.  Watch your children closely.

So this is a really cute dress, unfortunately it's a lot longer than I expected, which is why I'm only giving this item 3 stars. Also, another reason I'm rating it this way, the dress upon arrival smells soooo bad. I mean it literally smells like an entire jar of black pepper. So order at your own risk. Other than that the dress looks like photo.

Question: This will be a classic go-to!

As a long-time user of Infusionsoft, it's rare to find a guide that focuses on mastery that anyone at any proficiency level can understand and apply. What I appreciate about Troy's book is that he not only lays out definitive strategy for getting the most out of Infusionsoft, but he explains why. Infusionsoft is a tool that used the right way can do awesome things for a business...Troy knows how to teach how to get the most from automation. I whole-heartedly recommend any Infusionosoft user dig in and apply all the goodness in this very valuable book.

Question: The Devil's Guard - fact or fiction? Mostly fiction.

I bought this book because I wanted to know more about German soldiers fighting after the war and their role, if any, in Indochina/Vietnam. Although I do not doubt that some did fight as part of the French Foreign Legion in Indochina, I find the account portrayed in the "Devil's Guard" unbelieveable. If half of what was portrayed in the book was true, the French would have won the conflict easily because the exploits detailed here were those of "super soldiers," something more like we would see in a scifi movie made today. However, it was an enjoyable read and fun, yet ultimately for me, unbelieveable. It revealed little factual history as far as I could tell and few, if any events, that could be further investigated thus destroying some of the author's credibility.

We use the kicksled most often on snow packed trails and the blades alone dig in too much. I was disappointed that the snow floats didn't stay on. they started sliding down the blade within a few hundred yards then we struggled to keep them forward and on the blades. Ended up just taking them off and pushing through the snow. The kicksled is so front heavy snow floats really need to extend forward more.

Question: The shirt is a nice thick heavy feeling thing so no complaints there

The shirt is a nice thick heavy feeling thing so no complaints there. It is a smidgen small in the shoulders but I tend to have that problem in most women clothing. If you have broad shoulders like me(15in+) get an XL at the least. It shipped faster than expected. My one complaint is its NOT a WHITE shirt. I was sent a shirt that at best could be called egg shell and at worst beige.

Question: Good description and character portrayal

.The author, probably a new writer, shows some writing talent.  Good description and character portrayal, command of plot line.  The main character, a young girl who is pregnant by hire, shows all the innocence and vulnerability of a clueless teenager  whose feelings and body have been exploited by a childless couple for money. The symbolism of the ocean as a place of freedom and peace as seen from the middle of the desert  draws the reader into the plight of 3 young people in search of human connection and kindness lacking in their lives.

Really works and really enjoying it! First batch came out fantastic.

Question: Unique View of the Codes

I found this book to be insightful into the world of bible/torah codes.  Barry Roffman Is a controversial person and his views are interesting and worth considering. He is the only person to date to claim discovery of a mapping system (like a road map) in the codes. He backs it up with the math and is very open with his logic.  One thing that is a bit out there is that he proposes his work to be a litmus test for the existence of the codes...thus if his conclusions are not proven then he might just be throwing out the baby with the bath water... All in all it is well thought out and worth a read to any code seeker.
I do not agree with his points of view as I find the codes to be more unique to a persons search for truth and faith than he allows in his arguments. This having been said I am open to all seekers of God's will, I just wish he were a bit more committed to his faith than to his science.
Discussions with this author can be heard on free audio at [...] for those that may need to hear a bit more to get off the fence.

Mr. Ross is a very vividly creative writer. This book was hard to put down and I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope he makes a pt 2.

Question: Expensive but worth it to have one of these

Fits tight. feels good indoors or outside. I've washed it once very gently in cold water. Squeezed dry and hung up carefully to dry bt late night. In central California lets me go out with this Marino long sleeve and with only a lighter hoody on in our rainiest or coldest --thirties.

I've used mechanical keyboard for a long time now and I can confidently say that this keyboard does a fantastic job at "feeling mechanical".

It's a bit loud while typing, loud clicking. But that's something that most mechanical keyboards have as well so it was to be expected. The keys are very responsive with the switches, it's hard not to activate the button press as I've tried very lightly clicking them and it's still a good response. The keys are lifted up pretty high and after typing for a while I honestly feel like I'd want a wrist rest to go with which is sold separately. Though I might just need to get used to it.

RGB lighting was better than I thought, you can change different zones to whatever you want and it stays saved to what you set it do. The other modes are awesome as well! Though it's not the brightest lighting - it's enough to show you which key is which in a dark room.

There isn't any software required to set up all of the lighting modes and I liked that, you simply hold the Fn key and the desired option and you're good to go. Media keys worked as expected while using the Fn key.

Weight wise, it's pretty light. It's made out of good quality-hard plastic and it feels good to type on. If you're looking for RGB for around $30 and want to be able to customize it like half the keyboard is red and the other half is white or whatever color combination then this is the keyboard to go for. It's easy to use and really does feel mechanical.

Question: great sticker book she has not receive it yet as ...

great sticker book she has not receive it yet as it is for Christmas this year. but im sure she will love it...

Ive made dozens of hoop skirts and crinolines, and this is the most well planned pattern I've ever seen given it's complexity.  It's quite easy to follow the directions and get everything lined up where it should be.  The bones are about 3" apart, so it makes for a very sturdy cage for your heaviest petticoats and velvet skirts.  Plus, the bustle-back that ties off behind your thighs helps keep the shape elliptical and back-loaded unlike most crinolines that swing forward to balance under the weight of skirting.  The lack of bones at the center front (upper) make sitting much easier and your jackets/peplums lay beautifully, hugging neatly against the body.

Tip: if you want to reduce the circumference, be sure to reduce each boning ring by the same percentage.  I reduced mine by 10% since I am not a large woman and it had much better proportions. I did not need to reduce any of the fabric pieces, strips, or straps to make this adjustment, so that's a huge plus!

Question: Didn't Ship the right gun

they sent me a diffrent M4A1 that was displayed. it was a cheap version of this one, but had no lazer or anything, but was brand new. and if that wasn't bad enough, the gear box broke on the first day.

After searching all over Amazon for a pair of earbuds that were similar in shape to the Panasonic RP-TCM125 but had inline volume control I finally found these. I often sleep with headphones in and I have found this particular shape of earbud to be the most comfortable to sleep in. As far as sound goes I still find the highs and mids to be much better in the Panasonic earbuds but these have more lows. With a little more clarity in the highs and mids these could be the perfect pair of earbuds.

Question: A wonderful read for all ages

A wonderful read for all ages.  I highly recommend it for girls going through the difficult middle school years.  Engaging, humorous and insightful, Superpowers of the Shy Girl offers lessons in perseverance, courage and embracing who you are.  My girls are older now but thoroughly enjoyed reading the book as they identified with Jenny while they reflected on the challenges in their elementary and middle school years.  A great choice for a book club of young parents!

These ended up being a little big for me, but I find them very comfortable, which a nicely padded insole and a hard sole that allows me to run out to get the paper or take the dog out while I'm wearing them. Warm enough for cool mornings/evenings, but not super-hot. Washable and it appear that they'll be pretty durable as well. This is my second pair of Acorn slippers, and I'm definitely a fan.

Question: A bunch of card -- like so many games

I'll be selling this at the Dice Tower Flea Market -- It's okay, but not quite so exciting.

I have purchased Soylent on their website as well as here on Amazon.  Here is my opinion of the product and what could be improved.

Currently I don't think there is anything on the market quite like Soylent, other than a few DIY products that I am skeptical about.  Let's start with this, it is 400 calories, 20% of all essential vitamins and minerals, and low on the glycemic index.  Other shakes I have tried, such as Atkins, either have too many vitamins per serving, or are loaded with artificial sweeteners.  For example, the Atkins shakes are only 160 calories, no where near a meal replacement, yet have 20-25% the daily vitamins. If you drink too many of those, you will be getting too much of this and too much of that.  Also, they taste sooooo sweet it is nearly unbearable.  The first one tastes good, but if you want to replace 2 meals a day with it, you will get sick(literally) of the sweet taste.

Next brings me to the only two problems I see as legitimate concerns brought up by people.  First, the soy content.  Soy has been accused of changing hormone levels in humans, because it contains phytoestrogens.  The only thing I will say about this is that I can not find actual scientific studies that prove this, and also, I believe since this is only protein isolate, it may not ever contain any phytoestrogens.  Soylent really needs to study this and let us know the results.

The other potential negative is price.  I can estimate that minus the water, bottles, and shipping, this stuff is super cheap to produce.  I would like to see a Soylent 2.0 powder because I would love to buy a large bag of it, or five pound container, and just add a scoop into my blender bottle and go.  Storing 20 bottles of Soylent in my fridge is taking up too much space, and I know all those plastic bottles, even though I recycle, can not be good for the planet.

With all of this being said, Soylent 2.0 is the best meal replacement shake currently on the market, unless you can stomach the organic wheat grass and chia seed shakes, which I can not.

Question: Smells nice and seems to work to ward off some insects ...

Smells nice and seems to work to ward off some insects but it doesn't leave my 10 lb long-haired Dachshund puppy's fur very soft or silky. My puppy brought dog ticks into the house anyway while using this shampoo. I'll stick with other products that keep his fur silky and smooth!

I'd probably give this one 3 1/2 stars. I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It's only the third Tim Curran story I've read, the other two being Worm and Dead Sea, which were fabulous. I didn't realise Hag Night was about vampires, and if I had I probably wouldn't have bought it - not a big vampire fan. These vamps were different to any others I've read about, though, so that was interesting.

I must say the character names in this book bugged me. I know it's a petty thing, but you like what you like and you hate what you hate, right?

Another thing that got on my nerves as the book went along was the repetitive descriptions of certain things. Tim Curran uses a LOT of adjectives in his writing, but it seems like in this one he gave up trying to think of new ones, so a few things became a little redundant.

I liked the start of the book best, I think. I'm a fan of stories in snowy settings, and this one starts with a storm that quickly turns to a full-on blizzard. But . . . yeah. It might not have helped that I didn't particularly like any of the characters, either. I don't know!

I'll be reading more Tim Curran, without a doubt, but in future I'll be looking more closely at the subject matter.

I was looking for a Christmas gift for my 11 month old and read through many of the reviews on this site.  I was concerned about many of the complaints such as noise and losing the balls, but many people also said they enjoyed it.  So, I went ahead and purchased it because I got such a great deal.  So, the noise was not that big of a deal to me...it was loud, but nothing I couldn't handle.  My daughter did seemed slightly frightened by it...she didn't cry, but she is very tenative to push the handle to make it go.  I usually have to do this for her.  The biggest annoyance for me is that 75% of the time, the balls go flying everywhere, so if I am not sitting with her catching them/chasing them, I can see how they can get lost very easily.  I wish the motor was just a touch not so powerful to keep the balls contained with the toy.  I probably would have taken this back as I don't think it was designed very well, but since I got a really, really great deal, I decided to keep it.  I figure when she gets a little older, she can chase after the balls and put them back.

Question: Good plot but over long.

This is seriously over long but a good enough read for a rainy night. Good plot, keeps you guessing. A bit excessively and callously violent in places. Altogether I finished it.

Wooden composition works as it should...  Original was Plastic.  Came Quickly one or two days at the most

Question: No issues with stitching or zipper so far and is comfortable to wear

folds up really small, lightweight, seems well made.  No issues with stitching or zipper so far and is comfortable to wear.

They work well and will long outlast any of the cheap snow trax type glorified rubber bands with spikes.  They are heavier but you have to expect that just as your boots are heavier than your wife's flip-flops.
And here's One Year Update:
Still 5 Stars.  I was going through (wearing out or breaking) those light weight yack track things I got at Costco every week.  These HD STABIicers I will take to the grave with me.

Question: It's Complicated by Julia Kent

I loved this book, it was a great read, funny and some steamy sex scenes. The characters Josie a nurse and Alex a hot sexy doctor were perfect together. This book brings in characters from Her Two Billionaire Series and Random Acts Of Crazy. I like it when the others are brought into a story so you know a little bit more about what happens with them. And in It's Complicated you can relate to Josie And Alex with the feel of the relationship and the problems that can happen in a relationship. You will love this book.

Bought this vacuum 2 years ago from Walmart when we were moving into our new home. Within the 1st month it started to shut down during use. Found out it was clogged up somewhere, no biggie... except it clogs up at least 2-3 times every time we use it. Worthless P.O.S. The vacuum I had before purchasing this one was 10 years old and still went through the carpet better than this one does.

Question: Looks great but wiring could be a fire hazard

We purchased this light for a guestroom. The installation was simple, instructions were easy to follow and the light looks great. The room is 12 X 14 and the light is more than sufficient. HOWEVER... 5 months later, we turn the light on and hear a sizzling sound. My husband inspected the light and found that one of the power wires from the light to the transformer inside the housing was burning up.  My husband says it was due to several reasons. First the wire is to thin and when you turn the light after installation, it causes the holding nut to loosen as well and this is also what controls the grounding of the light.  My husband scuffed up the inside surface to provide better grounding and he replaced the wire with a thicker wire and he really tighten the holding nut down and installed the light the way we wanted it to face so there would be no turning of the fixture and it's now working great. (just a side note) We have ours on a dimmer switch and this may have caused to much punishment of that little wire.

The kit is well packaged and colorful. The process to test your soil is very simple and I recommend using this product. However there is one thing that users might find confusing.  The soil test container comes with liquid and a jelly capsule inside.  What to do with the liquid and capsule? Simple.  Just leave both the liquid and capsule inside the container and add your soil directly to the liquid. The jelly capsule is supposed to simulate a live plant root and how the plant root would absorb nutrients. Other than that, it is a great product.

Update May 13, 2017: (added one star in rating moving it up to two stars for following reason:) The company did in fact add a very detailed explanation to their FAQ (frequently asked questions) on their website explaining the purpose of the liquid and resin capsule inside the soil sample container (i.e., both are needed to soak and process your soil sample). Will add more stars my review as same instructions find their way to the packaging!

Question: He has done it again! Keeps your attention till ...

He has done it again!  Keeps your attention till and especially at the end.

I have had this model and two others SI-40 and SI-35.  I loved them at first. Then, they just didn't pump any more, all three of them.  The SI-40 is only 15 months old.  After calling the customer service, I'm very dismayed.  They want the original box and I have to pay for return shipping for their defective products. I believe they also charge you to return the item to you. I could deal with that but when you think of shipping cost you have a good chunk of change gone, and you could almost buy a new item from another company that would hopefully hold up better. Honestly, I can't recommend this company and I loved the concept, but these Haan  Steam Mops do NOT hold up.  My use of them was minimal and used carefully. When first they came it seemed the answer to cleaning, I was delighted. Think twice or investigate other companies when you want to get a steam mop. Three mops going into the land fill and thats a shame for several reasons.  Haan get your act together!

Question: Great taste and a must for hiking trips.

Probably my favorite meal on hiking trips.  It brings just a little more flavor to the table during a hike or campout than you'd normally get.  The flavor is great!  It heats and softens in the time given on the packaging.  I always do a little less than the required water b/c soupy food is not that fun.  Overall a great meal and would probably just eat it at home which to me says a lot about the product.

I love this thing. I bought the fake yellow cheaper rip off and it broke. This one has more power and can take bugs down. The other one just stunned them. I can take them out of the air with this one. Highly recommended. I'm taking it camping with me the next time I go!

Question: Moving and well written

This was an easy and moving read.  The main character shows her "human" traits in forming opinions and making hard and fast rules and then finds that these preconceived notions have caused her heartache.  Its well written and moves quickly and I found myself reading quickly to find out what the end would bring  I recommend this as a moving story worth reading.

Works well, very slick design. Some pairing issues with Win10 that may or may not be Wacom's fault. (they claim it's Microsoft)

Question: Love it! As others noted

Love it!  As others noted, it is not a toy.  I received this, and was surprised to find some small parts damaged - which surprised me, because it is very well packed.  Amazon swapped it out for me, no fuss.

I happen to have a photograph of one of the Apollo CM's I took in Alabama, and I am very impressed with the matching detail, including the color.  If you are reading this, and looking at this model, you already know why it is brown, and not shiny silver (or even white) - suffice to say, it looks like the real thing.  Well worth the money.

This is my first Lisa Kleypas historical. I loved it from the beginning when Poppy was chasing the ferret. She's a wonderful heroine with an unusual family. And Harry! I have a soft spot in my heart for Scorpios because my late husband was born under that sign and he is always my hero (sigh!). I didn't think much of Michael and I thought even less of him when Poppy confronted him after Harry's disappearance. Harry was right, if Michael really loved Poppy nothing, and no one, would have kept them apart.

The hotel setting was unique and a lot of fun to read about. I liked the secondaries, Mrs. Pennywhistle and Mr. Ballentine, trying to intervene to get Poppy and Harry together, and the plans failing. And I'm looking forward to reading about Leo and Katherine.

This book also contained a lot of adverbs, but I'll overlook them this time because it was a wonderful story.

Question: Amazon had best price!

Needed a pressure line steering hose for a 97 Jeep wrangler with the pressure sensor.  Amazon by far had the best price on this hose.  I am pleased with the quick delivery and quality of part as well.  Jeep got a new engine and needed hose to finish the job.

Loved this! I had read the book many years ago and never had a chance to watch the HBO series until recently.

Excellent product, I was using Singer needles before and they kept breaking. I will recommend this brand since they are the best quality you can get. Great for sewing curtains and thick materials.

One of the most fascinating historical perspectives that I have read in many years.  It holds your interest throughout, much in the manner of Guns, Germs, and Steel.

Question: The Pivot Vac - PERFECTED!!!

Excellent Vac.  I also have the 18volt Pivot Vac - which I like a lot - BUT, it is no match for this 20 volt Lithium powered beauty!  I can clean two cars thoroughly with this 20v model, where the 18v NiCad will barely make it through a superficial clean of one car.  AND - I'm thrilled it uses the same filters as the 18v, because I have about 5 or 6 spare filters I had previously purchased.  (Of course if you clean & wash the filters as instructed, each one will last a REALLY long time!

It takes a few minutes to master the buttons and which way to twist & slide for disassembly & cleaning, but you will ultimately appreciate how well made this unit is.  The striking & clever design is backed up solid engineering & quality manufacturing.  You will love this powerful 20 volt Lithium Pivot Vacuum.  It has no faults.

I tried using this external floppy drive on several computers.  The operating systems on the computers was Windows 7 and also tried on a Windows XP Pro computer.  Each time, it kept stating that the floppy disk needed to be formatted.  If I formatted the disk, I would lose the information I was trying to read.  It was not a problem with the disk however, because when I inserted it into a floppy drive on a computer, I could read it no problem.  I was disappointed and am returning the drive.

Question: My dog loves car rides now because of this bag!!

I love the quality of this bag. Really high end and through through. Excited to use all the functions!! My dog absolutely loves riding in cars now because of this bag. Great design!! Thank you!!!

Package arrived with the plastic casing cracked and unuseable.  But the markers themselves are great for my purposes!  Some of the markers have the same color printed on the outside, but the ink on the inside is a different shade, which means I don't have doubles, but I always need a tester sheet of paper to make sure I'm using the right one.

Question: I really like this product

Stackable, convenient and takes less space. I really like this product.

If you're a die hard batman fan, then you will not like this movie. Where to start?! This is Batman, not the Justice League. He barely works with Robin... Let alone Batwoman' and Batwing? Seriously?  I love that DC is making these films, I HATE that they are destroying batman cannon and completely ignoring his origin and history.  Talia Al Ghul is completely transformed, EVERYONE knows Batman's identity and the Batcave. STAAAAP DC!  Everything that makes Batman, well... Batman is being destroyed.  You might as well turn this into a futuristic ninja series where all the characters are dressed as animals...

Bottom line. Every Batman rule is broken in this film. Not to mention it is far-fetched from realism and lacks character development.  Before you know it you'll have the Bat-League with 10 different characters who shoot to kill, reveal their identities to the world and deplete the Wayne's inheritance to pennies.  The only bad ass character in this movie was Alfred. But he's always a bad ass.

Question: Birthday Present for the Hubby

Bought for my husband because he likes to drink his cold brews in the shower. I thought he was the only person who did this, apparently not since there is a product for this activity. I'm giving you 4 starts because the part of the product that attaches to the shower is for one time use. We'll be moving next year and I'll have to get him another shakoolie for the new shower.

One woman's family's account of an injustice justaposed with the medical, political and legal standings of the time.  Ms. Skloot also expands the story by reporting the change in laws of informed consent and human subject research up to the time of publication.  First hand accounts provide insight that the medical community rarely heard.  Well researched.  An excellent read.

Question: Love this song like crazy!

My daughter (and I) totally love this song, and all the songs on their first album, for that matter.  Love the Christian lyrics that we can discuss the meaning of, while listening!

I read this book with my 8th grade granddaughter as part of the Mother of Divine Grace school curriculum.  I see the Ignatius book is a reprint from a different publisher.  We loved this book, mostly.  I loved the story, the lesson and the writing of Helen Walker Homan.  What I find annoying and the reason for the 4 stars is it seems that no one at Ignatius Press likely proofread the book.  There were various typos in the book, such as "and" being an "ad", etc.  When I complained about this to my granddaughter her response was, "Grandma, it is just "auto - correct" and "You can't expect them to proof every book they publish".  I find these two lessons (rely on auto-correct and no need to proofread your work) as a serious flaw in Catholic Home teaching.  Any company that publishes quality books for education needs to teach the right message in their action and quality, not just the content.

Question: Only good for storage

Blocks the transponder when going through the EZ pass lane. Only good for storage.

Insensitive, thoughtless, cruel, non-ending harrassment and deliberate blindness to the misery these two photographers caused Diana runs rampant through every page of this excellently photographed book. Stalking a woman  who finally bursts into tears just goads them on to call her a  "loon", whereas when she ignores them, they pout and sulk and  pretend she secretly "wants the atention". With no thought at all  of "do unto others" ,Mark and Glenn intrude onto every private  waking moment. It is not enough for them that Diana is on public display as  she carries out her duties or charity work. They must catch her sorrow at  her father's death, her sipping coffee in her bathrobe in the mroning in  her room at Disneyland when she has taken the boys on a visit. What is the  purpose of following her everywhere she goes ? It seeme to me that stalkers  get arrested in the United States, and yet these men get paid for doing the  same thing -- making someone's life miserable -- and then getting paid for  it, to add insult to psychological injury. It is a shame that more of the  goodness of the Princess is not revealed here, that the evalustion of Diana  is not more fair, more generous, more accurate. She was a fabulous  Princess, a good Mother, and would have made a good wife to aman not bent  from day one on belittling her while he kept up a relationship with his  past girlfriend. A sad book because it repreatedly reveals the most  despicable aspects of tabloid journalism.

Question: Solid documentary of One World Trade.

It is a good documentary of what was an awkward, difficult successor to the Twin Towers. My only reservation is probably more with the actual project that One World Trade represents, than with the documentary. The Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world, at least for a brief time. One World Trade carries no such distinction.

3.5 stars
"...it all means nothing without someone to love who loves me right back.

Stirred is the first novel I have read by Author Nancy S. Thompson. It was a taboo-type story of an older woman and younger man that was filled with plot twists and turns.

Eden has been in a loveless marriage for quite some time. Her marriage was not a conventionally formed one to begin with, and her husband Declan has not believed in the sanctity of marriage, just in ownership and possession.  Sean is the younger man that has never had a hunger for a woman that couldn't be filled. Until Eden. She is the untouchable and unobtainable woman that he can't get out of his mind.

Told in dual points of view, there were so many factors that impacted the plot in the story. Supposed friends and jealous lovers played their parts. Past and present met and revealed secrets that were unthinkable. At times the twists were so different that it was hard for my mind grasp and hang onto them. In all though, I enjoyed the book and look forward to more from this author.

Question: Decent Game, Poor Implementation & Betrayal

In Short I can see How this game could be great. However, I can't play it. First there were the server issues. Then I could log on and omg the Lag... At first I thought it was on my side but nope so then I blamed Blizzard almost right there are issues but in 2-3 weeks they will be fixed.

My True issue is the fact that Blizzard Lied to me and other Mac users. This game isn' optimized for macs and unless you have a cutting edge Mac with the newest graphics cards this game won't be playable for you. My machine meets the recommended requirements except for my Graphics card which is the Nvidia 9400. Blizzard states it is supported but once you look at the Mac forums on Battle.net you'll see that every user with my graphics card has to play in 800x600 resolution and still has a frame rate <20 I was playing in 1280x800 and was getting a FPS of <15. This makes the game technically playable but not a lot of fun.

If Blizzard had stated this up front I wouldn't mind so much but technically I can play the game so they took my money and ran.

Didn't meet expectations, the third time on my dog and it broke right down the middle of the chest area!

Question: Do you want to excel in your Life?

This book is fantastic.  the information is essential If you want to excel in your life.  It contains all the steps to become successful both personally and financially.  It contains all of the keys to build a successful and prosperous life.  It is the fundamental base to achieve what you may desire.  The secret is applying yourself and how well you adopt these principles into your life.  That is the hard work.

This is much more pleasant to use than going to my local self service pressure hose that is usually vandalized.  This unit is simple to use and does everything the description says!

Be sure to see my updated comments below in the "comment" section.  This product isn't so great, after all.

P.S.  I got several replies here about what to do.  Several people suggested that I contact the mfgr.  Well, I did through an e-mail (contact information is in the manual) and their customer service is now sending me a replacement.  This is a great solution!
Was this the result of a bad production run?  I'm glad to learn that this mfgr is concerned about the problem and is considerate of their customers.

Question: Avoid if at all possible!!

The shirt was a womens large, and it was made for Twiggy!! No way a woman with hips could wear this. Then you have to pay to ship it back plus a 20% restocking fee!! Never again!!

PROS:
-Best price/performance ratio.
-Good image quality and beautiful text output.
-Economical to use; only $ .02  per page.
-Small size and compact footprint--fits nicely under my desk.
-FAST & QUIET, No more inkjet hassels.
CONS:
-2 megabytes of memory is not enough. (However, upgrading to 10 megabytes is very easy and costs less than $10.00).
-Separate toner and drum cartridge may be cheaper, but is more annoying to change.
I have used HP Laserjets for the past 15 years and I was very leary of switching to Brother.
However, I can now say that I am glad that I made the switch. This is one of the fastest printers I have owned, and, for the price, it beats HP flat-out.
The text and image quality is great. I have not found that the 1200dpi resolution makes a big difference in print quality and it takes much longer to print than at 600dpi.
I added an additional 8 megabytes of RAM to the printer because the initial 2 was insufficient for printing large images. It was very easy to do and cost less than $10.00 on ebay.
Finally, this printer is very economical to use. If you buy the high capacity toner refill it is only .02 per page for the life of the toner cartridge and drum.

Question: get to the spirit of Christmas

A film by Robert Zemeckis

"The Polar Express" is based on a 29 page award winning children's book by Chris Van Allsburg.  Robert Zemeckis obviously had to expand Van Allsburg's book, but he still begins with the first line of the book and ends with the last line.  "The Polar Express" is animation like we have never seen before, using a movement capture technology which has advanced far beyond anything that has come before.

Hero Boy (Tom Hanks) has lost his faith in Christmas.  He has told his sister that there is no Santa Claus, and while he still wants to believe that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole and delivers presents to all the good little boys and girls, he knows from his encyclopedia that the North Pole is barren with no life.  He goes to sleep on Christmas Eve but is woken in the middle of the night by the sound of a train outside his window.  He puts on his jacket and runs outside and sees a big train in the middle of the street with a Conductor (Tom Hanks) "all aboard!"  The train, the Polar Express, is headed to the North Pole and Hero Boy is on the list of passengers.  After a moment's hesitation, Hero Boy decides to take the trip.

All of the other kids on the train believe that they are truly going to the North Pole to see Santa Claus, but Hero Boy is not so sure.  Despite the magic of a train pulling up to his house in the middle of the night taking him on a wonderous trip, he doesn't believe.  He does befriend Hero Girl (Nona Gaye), however, and after losing her ticket by mistake, Hero Boy has a small adventure on the train trying to find the ticket and then trying to find Hero Girl.

Much of "The Polar Express" takes place on the train until it reaches the North Pole, so the scope of the adventure is small.  But, this is a very visual movie and anytime the movie takes a peek outside the windows of the train it is absolutely stunning.  The animation looks more than real.  Everything is extra sharp and beautiful.  The only trouble is with the human characters.  While these are perhaps the best animated human characters (better than "Final Fantasy"), they still look a little bit creepy in the face.  They move well, but their faces are not exceptionally expressive and look a bit dead at times.  While the partial creepiness lasts throughout the movie, it takes a backseat to the physical beauty of the animation and the enjoyment of the movie.

The voice talent in "The Polar Express" all does a very good job.  Tom Hanks, who performs as Hero Boy, The Conductor, The Hobo, Santa Claus, the Father, and Scrooge is excellent as always.  Nona Gaye is perfect in her role as Hero Girl and I would suggest that she is really the backbone of the movie.  We also get to see Peter Scolari (better known as the guy from "Bosom Buddies" who didn't become famous) as the Lonely Boy.

"The Polar Express" has the potential to be a perennial holiday favorite for years to come.  There is a sweetness and a sadness in this story of a child that is sure to resonate with viewers.  This story gets lost at times in the long, though fun, train voyage to the North Pole.  This movie would, perhaps, be better suited to a shorter television special (though I can't imagine any television producer paying the money to make this movie for tv), but it works in the theatre.

By no means is this a perfect movie, and far too much attention will be paid to how much "The Polar Express" cost to make (though it will lead to further innovation and cheaper techniques for other movies to use), but this is a nice, sweet holiday movie.  It is about the spirit of Christmas and holding onto that "magic" that is the belief of a child.

-Joe Sherry

Question: Looks good but tip wearing fast....

Makes you look good pulling it out of a case, but unfortunately, haven't seen much difference in play from using rack cues. Although brand name tip, it seems to be flattening and wearing down pretty quick, even though I'm not using it to break with. It does have to be shaped after you receive it.

Works great, has kept my custom made cutting board looking like new.  Easy to use and spreads evenly and nicely.

Shipped on time and appropriately packaged.  Would buy from vendor again.
