Question: Life, love, and angst . . . but no suffering here

Gail Storey has a voice that is a little bit like Georgette on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and eyes like Betty Boop. She's been known to jump out of cakes (I've been witness to this) and do a hip hop number dressed as a pilgrim to celebrate Thanksgiving. Does this sound like a woman who would hike the Pacific Crest Trail? Maybe not, but the subtitle of I Promise Not to Suffer is, after all, A Fool for Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail. And that will give you a hint at what kind of woman she is.

No, don't think long suffering Tammy Wynette type. In fact, even Gail suggests that her husband, Porter, is really more the long suffering one in this couple. But Porter was having a career crisis that reads as much a crisis of the soul as of the career. And he had long wanted to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. He quit his job but Gail wasn't going to quit him when it came to a physically demanding, life changing experience like hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. And there were times when Porter wanted her to.

This is a story about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail with all of its physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional challenges and with all of its splendor and beauty. But it is also a story about what makes people reach into their own depths and find the things that sustain them. And it is a story, well . . . about the Storeys. Gail and Porter Storey that is.

You cannot make up people like Gail and Porter Storey. And if Jack Kerouac, Kurt Vonnegut, or Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings were alive, they would want to. These are, on the one hand, ordinary people. They're people you can relate to. But think ordinary as in ordinary on overdrive where earthy intelligence, love, and a capacity to see the humor in just about anything are concerned. Think ordinary as in willing to do anything for one another like the everyday heroes most of us want to read about (instead of the bloated image of the hero we are too often presented in the media).

One of the things that makes this book so readable is that Gail tells on herself with abandon. She tells on Porter, too, presumably with his permission. The reader doesn't just get the Storeys at their bravest and most self-sacrificing, the reader gets the Storeys as honestly as Gail can tell it. And Gail can be very honest. Funny honest, but honest. All of this is interspersed with enough back story to make you care about what happens.

When Gail was writing this book, she jokingly said to me that the hike would have been a lot easier if they'd just had cases of champagne airdropped in for her. What the reader will be left with at the end of I Promise Not to Suffer is likely to be a desire to lift a glass of champagne to her, Porter, the tenacious thru hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail . . . and to the indomitable human spirit itself.

We've been using 4 of these for over 9 months in our video edit studio. We've striped them 0 Raid, connected USB 3. Incredibly fast and reliable. We use WD 500GB and 1TB drives without issue. Compared to the myriad of other bays we've burned out over the years, these are our favorites. About to buy more.

Question: The Spirit of a Liberal Faith, the Destiny of a City

This a fascinating book: it does not only tell the story of the First Church in Boston, but also articulates the spirit of a tradition, the base principles of a progressive faith. It provides a ...
More valuable framework for evaluating the practices of today and a guide for the development of tomorrow. It sketches the puritans under a completely different angle by summarizing the democratic elements in their practices and from there on, the book chronicles the saga of an evolution of a self-critical theology. A must read for Unitarian-Universalist or whoever is interested in this liberal religion as well as for those who would like to understand the spiritual development of Boston. Highly recommended.

Kim Vogel Sawyer is one of my very favorite authors, and when I pick up one of her books to read I expect to find realistic characters, believable problems and the Gospel to be gentility woven through the pages. Her newest book Sweet Sanctuary is no exception.

Lydia Eldredge was entrusted with the care of her best friend's son, Nicky, after she died in childbirth. Her friend's goal was to keep her son safe from his morphine addicted father, whose goal is to sell his son in order to feed his addiction. Lydia is determined to honor her friends' wishes and raise Nicky as her own, and to keep him from his father.

When Lydia's father decided that he must take matters into his own hands, he wrote to Lydia's old friend Dr. Micah Hatcher telling him to marry his daughter so she wouldn't have to raise their child alone. Micah traveled from Queens (NYC) to Boston determined to settle this misunderstanding, once he was there and he heard the whole story about her son, he understood the situation and encouraged Lydia to pray for answers and to tell the truth about Nicky's parentage; knowing this would be the only way she would be able to legally adopt him.

After a short visit, Micah returned to Queens where he runs a clinic for the city's immigrants. He also had another reason to return quickly, living in this part of the city allowed him to help his brother, Jeremiah, who lives in Europe to transport extra special "packages" to their destination. While thinking about this Micah also wonders if Lydia would agree with his involvement in this activity.

Needing the midwives' record of Nicky's birth Lydia travels to NYC in order to find her and to request her help. She also asks Micah for help in locating the midwife and in finding her a place to stay and ends up staying in a vacant apartment in the building where Micah lives. When Micah leaves in the night, she decides to follow him, and wonders why Micah is so secretive all of a sudden.

If you enjoy Kim's stories than I am certain that the characters in Sweet Sanctuary will find their way into your heart. And if you are unfamiliar with Kim's books this would be a great one to start with. Kim ended the story in a way that the reader is able to imagine what happens next in the characters lives, which I enjoy doing, but if she were to write a sequel I would be first in line to read it.

**I am sorry if this review seems different from my other book reviews, it was difficult to write it without giving away too much of the story.

**Sweet Sanctuary by Kim Vogel Sawyer was provided for me free by Litfuse Publicity Group in exchange for my honest review.

Question: The  best damn shoes for Slabs and Cracks

I live in India, and largely climb long slabs, and some trad.  This shoe hasn't disappointed at all.

It edges beautifully, toes reasonably well, and eats cracks excellently.  And for long slabs, I don't have to worry between smearing and edging with these on.  My other go to shoes for long slabs are Mythos.  Mythos work well, but on days I have to push the  limits on the slabs, this is the shoe.

From a sizing point of view, I am street size 9.5 US.  I use size 40 or 40.5 for Mythos, and 41 or 41.5 for Solutions (41 is extremely snug and 41.5 is slightly comfort fit in Solutions).  41.5 for TC Pro works perfectly.  Just a bit snug, but I am expecting these shoes to stretch a bit.  Again, not uncomfortably snug.  I just want that quarter mm space to wiggle my toe on long climbs.

The longest slab climbs I have done with these shoes are 1000 footers around Savandurga, and I didn't have to take off the shoes at any point.

Just another detail.  My forefoot is wide, and La Sportiva shoes seem to work well for me.

Why did I put such a strange title for my review?  Because that was my final conclusion of this book.  The first effort by Tash Aw, of Malaysian parents, born in Taiwan and spending his adult years in England.

Why mentioned three distinct parts?  Once you read this book, you will feel that it is actually separated into three different sections.  The first part being story about Johnny Lim.  His childhood till his crooked adult years were described very nicely.  Another main attraction of Tash Aw's novel is it was told with a Malaysian background.  I love Malaysia.  It is very close to Indonesia, have similar cultures and very much alike weather.  I am also very familiar with Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and its surroundings.  Therefore, when sometime like this rare gem was available, I grabbed it without second thoughts.  A four-star section.

The second part consisted of a "memoir" of Johnny Lim's wife, Jasper's mother.  Her love interest of the Japanese character Kunichika, seemed extremely inappropriate behavior, for an Asian, especially a Chinese.  Since it is a fiction book, it does not really matter.  I felt like this second part of the book was written not by Mr. Aw, because the way it was written is very dissimilar to the first section, which was very lovely.  A two-three star section.

Last part, the third, started quite OK.  And when Tash Aw's interest in gardening took control of the few pages of this novel, I started to resent this part.  Gardening is not my favorite subject, bu t to dwell to much on vegetation subjects, I found that this was becoming a Botany 101 class.  Having dwelled on that issue, Tash Aw restarted by telling almost the same things already discussed by Jasper's mother from his British protagonist's point of view.  My question: why repeat the SAME story twice?  A two-star read.

Well, at the end of the day, it became somewhat not a very good read, though I will surely expect Aw will write better for his second novel upcoming soon.

Question: ... fact that there is a book that gets how easy it us for us to flip between to languages

Junot has a creative way of telling the same story through various perspectives - yes it's appreciated the fact that there is a book that gets how easy it us for us to flip between to languages, but also the reality of so many things! Loved Lola! Gracias Junot!

This book is so clear about many reasons why Christians believe what they do. Have enjoyed sharing some copies with others!

Question: Not just about autism

I don't have autistic children, so what did I get out of this book? A very realistic approach to dealing with disappointment, anger and the fact that "perfection" as the world knows it will never be mine. Debbie's faith inspired me to look again at the trials I have encountered and see them as opportunities to grow in my faith and to help others move closer to God. I hope she writes another book! I want to see what is next for her family!

It took forever for it to arrive when the finish I wanted was out of stock.  Seriously it was probably 4 months or more.  But with that being said it's a damned good deal for an entry level guitar.  You can't go wrong with it.

Question: Read the reviews and buy with confidence! Great value and high performance!

Very pleased!  Our $60 Kohler failed in less than 30 days!  This one matches the stainless sink beautifully and 'keeps right on pumpin'!' We've had ours 2 months and use it constantly.  Half the price of the Kohler, and outperforms it by a mile! Looks like a winner to us!

*What Lizzie Thought*

Ok, now I am not a fan of political thrillers in general, I normally find them kind of boring. I was so thankful I picked up The Loyal Servant to read! It was everything that the majority of political thrillers arent. It was interesting, attention grabbing, suspenseful and extremely well written. I was hooked after the first chapter, immediately drawn in.

I loved the main character of Caroline. I found her to be completely relatable. She was just a normal woman who could have been one of my friends. It instantly made her more likeable in my eyes, which helped draw me in to the story even more. I loved her attitude and inquisitive nature. The only thing I didn't really like about her was her parenting skills. For some reason they grated on my nerves a bit, but on the other hand it was refreshing to see a main character who wasn't Mrs. Brady and made her share of mistakes.

The plot was both well thought out and gripping. It really does keep you on the edge of your seat, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. So pick up this book and dig deep with Angela and Caroline to find out what happens! You won't be disappointed!

Question: The couple Gieseking - Mengelberg add some important issue!

The piano concerts of Rachmaninov are well written pieces though they lack of immortality thristy .

The interesting point to remark is the added cosmic breath inmeresed in the purest romantic tradition and that is why the result is surpprising and convincing .

You have to Rach in another level . Gieseking makes use of all his skills and Mengelberg the King of Rubato is an excellent support .

But if this was not enough you have the Concertgebouw the second best orchestra in that moment -1940- giving such amazing playing . From the woodwinds to the percusive section , strings and metals .

Welcome then to an original reading of these both concertos .

My favorite are Richter - Wilowscki of the late fifties and the unique and passionate version of William Kapell in a live performance not released before in 1953 .

The Dory Plush pillow was a great gift to my girlfriend. However, not even a month later the plush got split open in the mouth location. The Quality could maybe use some work. However I'm looking to see if it could be sew back up.

Question: Great premise! Great story!

What would you do if you only had one hour a day? Seriously, how much mischief could you get into? I would barely have time to eat breakfast and shower before the clock ran out. Well, grab on tight and hold on for an unprecedented ride filled with adventure, intrigue and laughter because now your on Henry Bins time! With this 5 book package you not only a good deal, you get to enjoy all the entertainment back to back. If I had to choose my favorite supporting character, it would probably be the cat named Lassie that we are introduced to in the first book at a murder scene involving the President of the United States. But then again, there's Murdoch, a hundred plus pounds of drooling mayhem that can't say no to..well..anything. You can't go wrong with this series, or the author. I've found all of his books to be well written and witty. I have over 900 books in my kindle cloud that I've read. Some by seasoned authors, most by new authors. So many authors today seem to forget the one thing that Nick Pirog has just flat out nailed..how to tell a good story.

I bought the pink book ends for my daughter w go loves books and rocks. They are very pretty, but I had to soak the outside in water to remove most of the pink paint because it was getting on our hands and clothes immediately. I didn't want it to stain our carpet. It would be much better with a paint that doesn't bleed onto other things. Otherwise, I would give it 5 stars.  The pictures are from after rinsing off the excessive paint. Now they seem ok.

Question: These Work Great!! I'd Order These Again!

I was very happy with this usb charger for my Galaxy Tab 2 10.0....I was leary at first because it was not a samsung product and i had purchased an off brand which lasted only a short time before it tore at the wire close to the connection, however this seems pretty strong and sturdy... fine so far,
I also like the length, theres room to move around with my tablet, also it snaps into the tablet perfectly and stays connected well, recieving 2 chargers in a set is wonderful because I have one in the kitchen to connect my tablet for recipes and one in the living room while watching tv
.....before i'd have to unplug one and take it to the next room....ugh! I would recommend this product to others as well....I am pleased with it and would order it again!

I generally do a lot of research on-line to find the hot springs I want to visit, but then find it is hard to get good directions are even reliable information.  Plus, you can not usually count on 4G in some of these remote locations to help you find them.  This guide book was the perfect thing to help us find some terrific hot springs during our trip across Nevada. Highly recommend it if you are not willing to do the research yourself.

Question: I was not happy with the product

Sorry, I was not happy with the product.  Even with using oil before placing the egg in the cup the egg still stuck and was difficult to remove.  I gave the cups to my one year old to play with.

I have to admit that I was very skeptical when I first ordered this product. I have smaller boobs, usually between a size A and B, but these types of things have never seemed to work for me in the past. I bought these to wear with a dress for a friend's wedding after reading the reviews. When I first tried them on with the dress, they looked terrible and I was really disappointed. THEN, I watched the video on YouTube and saw how to apply them properly and then my mind changed immediately. You couldn't see them at all through the dress, they stayed in place well and were actually super comfortable. I have worn them many times since the wedding, even getting sweaty in them, and they are still great. I would definitely recommend having a pair of these to every woman with smaller breasts. I don't see them working well for women with a D cup or larger.

I haven't found a roach killer that works as well. The really great thing is that their is no bad smell.

Sloan's poems are slices of life - his childhood, his parenting, his marriage, his experiences - all engaging, many amusing, with beautifully crafted language. This is a collection that I'll read over and over again. That is, if I can ever get it out of my wife's hands!

Question: Visceral rock and moving ballads

Tattoo You contains some raucous rock 'n roll and a couple of beautiful, soulful ballads. Although not considered to be amongst their very best albums, there is enough here to make it a worthwhile purchase.
The opener, Start Me Up, is the Stones at their high powered best with its killer riff and insistent rhythm, whilst the melodic Hang Fire with its impressive vocals comes a close second. These were big hits and can be found on many Stones compilations.
The bluesy Black Limousine and the reggae-influenced Slave aren't bad either, but ballads like Tops and Heaven fall somewhat beneath their high standards. This may be forgiven though, since the closing number, the poignant Waiting On A Friend sees them at their soulful best. It's a moving ballad on a par with earlier great moments such as Wild Horses and Dead Flowers from 1971s Sticky Fingers album.
Overall Tatto You is thus an uneven work but the aforementioned highlights more than make up for the few tepid and uninspired ballads. I give it four stars but that is judging it by the high standards of their own work.

This ring is stunning.  Yhe picture does not.do.it.hustice.  I.love the feel of the ring.  All I.can say.is.wow.

Question: Good value, size not exactly 3/8"

This was the cheapest option I found to buy a large bunch of dowels. The quality was fine, but they were smaller than 3/8" (I didn't measure exactly, but suspect they are perhaps metric - they were significantly narrower than the few true 3/8" ones I had on hand). However, they seemed to be consistent, so once I determined the appropriate drill size, they worked well.

I had received an advanced copy of this book.
The plot was excellent and it kept you guessing until the end.
I really enjoy reading her books because there is no graphic violence and no explicit sexual content.
Just really a good story that I will be recommending to my friends.

Question: Kate is always amazing!!

An odd but interesting film. Kate is always amazing !!!!

Once, Nora and Avery were best friends. Now, Avery can't remember the last time they've talked. As kids, they bonded over both being adopted, but, as they grew up, their paths diverged. Avery joined the ranks of popularity, becoming a cheerleader and focusing on the future, rather than her past. Nora did the opposite; she separated herself from her peers and never lost her drive to unravel her mysterious beginnings and track down her birth mother.

Avery is at a party when her path, once again, intersects with Nora's. After an immensely awkward breakup with her boyfriend, Avery is executing her escape from the party when, much to her surprise, Nora stops her. She tells her that she never gave up looking for her mother and that she thought she'd found her, until she discovered that it was really just a cruel stranger hoping to take advantage of Nora's weakness. Avery is distracted with her own problems and, brushing Nora off, thinks little about the conversation... until the next morning when her parents tell her that Nora has died from an overdose. Shocked by the news and feeling an immense sense of guilt for abandoning Nora - both in her time of need and as they grew up - Avery begins to reflect on her own life.

Teaming up with Nora's friend, Brody, Avery decides that, to honor Nora's memory (and, secretly, to achieve some of her own goals), she'll track down her own birth mother. But a journey that starts out to be more about others - and how other perceive her - soon takes on a more personal, internal meaning.

This is the third novel I've read by Eileen Cook and, while each has a very different premise, all have a very similar and distinct feel I've come to identify with this author. Cook is skilled at creating realistic characters and putting them in thought-provoking situations. In YEAR OF MISTAKEN DISCOVERIES, Avery, the central character, has concerns that make her easy for readers to identify with: a boyfriend that she doesn't love, but stays with out of convenience and comfort, regrets about the choices she's made as she nears adulthood, and concerns over getting into her dream school.

Adding to the realism, Avery is far from perfect. She pitches her search for her mother as a act done in Nora's honor, but, secretly, she has ulterior motives: it'd make a killer essay for her college applications. This may make Avery look pretty horrible, but, in the context of the novel, the reader empathizes with the pressure Avery feels after not being accepted early admission to her dream school. Though we might not like her actions, we understand them.

Though Avery has, in many ways, separated herself from her past and her adoption, her search for her mother reawakens much of the confusion and questions that have sat dormant as she lived her life. While I expected to sympathize with Avery's feelings, I was surprised by how much I empathized. Cook made it easy to imagine myself in a situation like Avery's... Even though Avery loves her (adoptive) parents, her past is still, in many ways, important. She wonders why her mother gave her up for adoption, if she thinks about her, what her biological grandparents were like... Though most readers may not directly identify with Avery's concerns, they will easily connect with the importance of family, both biological and otherwise, that she explores during her search.

YEAR OF MISTAKEN DISCOVERIES is another solid offering from Cook. Recommended.

5 out of 5 work for me!  I was hessitant with the reviews but decided to go for it (especially at this price).  All seem rock solid and worked perfectly as soon as I put some batteries in.  If anything changes I'll edit my review, but for now it's exactly what I was hoping for!

Directions are metric, so the company may be American owned....but not made in America.  Be prepared to convert your dimensions to inches.  Kit works fine, and was a little cheaper than a few I have installed in the past.  I wasn't thrilled about the plastic floor guides.

Question: good exercise, good price, simple assembly

Assembly:
At 10:20am, I brought the box inside from the front porch. At 11:18am I was pedaling away.

This assembly time included: opening the box, dumping it on the ground, examining the instruction manual which was not terribly useful, having my 2 year old "help" me put it together, chasing down bolts/washers she had walked away with, showing her how to tighten a bolt with an allen key, taking the center section apart to verify I had the wires connected properly (turns out the parity doesn't matter on those wires anyway), picking up little pieces of packing styrofoam so our dog didn't eat it and die, and adjusting the seat to my liking. It also included picking up the mess as I went, and sending a picture message of the bike box to my wife.

Adjustability/Sizing:
I'm 6'2" and this thing says it's good up to 6'3", so I pushed the seat all the way back. That was too far, my legs kept going almost to lock. I hopped off, loosened the bottom and left side securing knobs, and removed the right side knob for adjustment. Slid the rack forward one notch and retightened.

Some past users have complained about this process for when you have different users of multiple sizes using it in the same house hold. The procedure took me a timed, and unrushed, 27 seconds to complete. Pretty rough.

I ended up moving it forward one more notch (for two forward total from all the way back) to get where I'm comfortable with slightly bent knees at full extension.

Concerned about the seat size? It's just shy of 16" wide. It seems pretty padded, but I haven't ridden it much yet. I'm sure if it's uncomfortable over time you can just fold up that yoga matt you have rolled up in the corner going unused.

Construction/Weight Capacity:
Looks to be of pretty sturdy construction, most of it is made out of about 16gauge channel and box steel. Welds are good and clean, and the frame appears to be powdercoated. All of the hardware is heavy duty and of sufficient quantity (they didn't go with just a couple bolts to hold the front frame to the rear, they used 6 bolts).

The amazon video/description still states 325 pounds and the packaging stated 300 pounds. I'm pretty certain it'd hold someone over 300 pounds, but if you were rocking it hard it may eventually fail. If you stayed a good steady pace it'd probably hold up fine, and you'll probably drop those pounds fast anyway, right?

Tension/Resistance:
I expected the '1' setting to be like free spinning, but it actually has some resistance. The '8' is doable, but you're not gonna go far your first time. Very easy to adjust in between settings though.

Calorie meter (no it's not a calorimeter):
I don't think it takes into account the resistance, just speed and time, and obviously you don't get to enter in your weight so it's probably not terribly accurate.

I purchased this bike with the nearterm goal of getting in shape for an upcoming 13+ mile obstacle course race, and the longterm goal of just in general getting back in shape. I'll report back after the race and several months down the road for further durability comments.

I like the way you can set the display to rotate from time, to date, to temp. Works good. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the time isn't that accurate. It shifts by about 5mins every couple weeks.

Excellent adapter. I bought one three years ago and It is working perfectly. I had bought other brands and within weeks they had been damaged. This is working like the first day.

Question: This robe is super cute, light weight

This robe is super cute, light weight, and has a nice sheen and color to it.  I bought this for every day use because I don't like the longer, heavier ones.  It has the inner tie and big pockets too, which is a bonus. I'm 5'0" and it comes to right at my knee level.

I owned one but lost in when i moved across town. It works. If you hear a high pitch squeal That means the battery is dead. Do not use generic brands for this because the battery will die fast.

I enjoy using this saucepan. At first, I thought it was too wide at the top but have gotten use to it. I really like the finish. I know it is probably made to put in the oven but you have to be careful with the lid top. It does get hot.

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite series.  I love the characters.  I found it very relaxing and heart warming.

Question: Bought for Swimming Pool Use

Bought for swimming pool testing after seeing the similar Thermapen  used by our health department,  Tested the device in ice and boiling water,it has excellent accuracy. Nice design, simple touch button.  A couple things would make it better for our application:  Waterproofing seems like a no brainier for a product designed to be used around liquid. Also, although probably great for food the probe is too sharp to use around the public.

I absolutely love the glass bottles. I made a roll-on deodorant for my husband, using doTerra essential oils, and the bottle size is perfect for this use. The color is great too, since the oils should not be stored in clear glass bottles and kept out of sunlight. At first, I was skeptical of the plastic roller ball. I prefer to use the metal roller balls for my oil blends, however, these roller balls work very well. I would definitely purchase these bottles again.

Question: The Millionaire's Proposal: A Destined For Love Novel

This was a truly enlightening book. I Loved how it started when they were kids and as they grew their love for each other grew. It also lets you know that you can't judge a book by its cover. I would definitely recommend this book to read.

I like these--easy to peel backing and stick on hanger and gives just enough grip to keep tops from slipping off the hanger.

Question: Bathroom tray with elegance!

This tray is gorgeous and looks absolutely beautiful in my bathroom. It holds a great amount of bathroom necessities in a neat and pretty fashion. I highly recommend this tray. I love the handles, also!

Nice story,  great cast, everything looks good and I liked the movie. The only problem I have with it is that it ends short, it seems like there should be another 15 minutes or so more to finish the story! For it being a love story the 2 principals actually spend very little screen time together. Good chemistry between David Ducovney and Minnie Driver. I wanted more. But it's not to be. I'd say it's well worth a watch!

Question: Warning--if you own a Mac.

I bought this as a replacement for an old Dell laser printer, which still works perfectly, but is so old that it doesn't print wirelessly or to mobile devices, such as my IPad.  I bought this printer after I read the reviews on Amazon indicating this was a good little printer.  I wanted to like this printer.  I was looking forward to printing without having to plug the printer into my computer via a USB drive.  However, even after numerous attempts, I cannot even get the installation software to download to my Mac. Even if I install it, I don't know if it will work with the new Mac operating system.  I have reinstalled my Dell and am considering what to do next.

Question: Installation seamless and looks great!

I replaced my OE Taillights with these Spyder ones after my OE's started to loose some of their pieces.  The original owner painted over the OE Taillights with Black Spray Paint and it just looked terrible.  These replacements were not only affordable, but also retained the OE Bulb Sockets.  They did not include the Bulbs, but I understood that when I purchased them and it gave me the perfect opportunity to replace every Bulb in the Tail lamp system.  They install back right where the OE Taillights do so there were no issues from one to the other.  I am very happy that I purchased these Spyder Taillights and now I can feel much safer knowing I don't have Black Spray Paint covering them.  Thanks Spyder!  : O)

It works well on my fire phone, and it's super clear. My only issue with it is that the one I received, there's an extra hole that I assume is for one of the cameras but it doesn't line up properly with it. It isn't a big deal, since the photos still come out nice and clear, it's just annoying to look at. Would of given it four stars if that hole was lined up correctly.

Worked with MEEE customer service and they helped arrange a replacement.  Great so far! Thanks, MEEE.

They're Cadbury Creme Eggs--do I really need to say much? I put a bunch of these out in my apartment building and it didn't take long for them to disappear.

It's a shame that they're manufactured by Hersheys in the US instead of Nestle, though.

This puzzle is awesome.  It not only looks great, you can feel the quality in the puzzle.  These Melissa & Doug puzzles are unmatched in the market for the price.  They generally go for under $10.  You can buy other puzzles for 2-3 dollars, but they don't come close to the quality of these.  I highly recommend you buy these puzzles if you want something to last.

We have Melissa and doug puzzles that are 6 years old now!

Buy Melissa and doug, you won't be disappointed!

Question: Horribly Unreliable Fingerprint Reader

The glaring software issues are correctable and I repaired the defectively coded Google Chrome extension to allow it to be enabled in Chrome. However, the fingerprint reader itself is absolutely dismal and it fails to read fingerprints consistently. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable.

I purchased this as an additional layer and just for those days when its just a little cool but not enough for a jacket. the quality and fit are perfect. I really like this jacket. also the color is just a little off black almost like a gun metal which works if  I wear it under my North Face jacket.

Question: Why didn't I find this sooner?!

I was made aware of this story from comments after reading King and Tyrant, looking for Jakes story. What a story it is! Read from start to finish just loved it as it pulled at my heart with tears and finally joy!

This preamp is product which can sound exceptional when - modded. There are some capacitors to be replaced with better and 3 of the OP 5532 (a bit old, solid, but there are betters) for OPA2134 or LM4562.

Problem with this preamp is that it does not have input selector for input resistance and capacity. Different pickups needs different load. In this model it has been set to 47kOhm and 220pF. For my pickup 220pF is way to much. Each cable of this type, by nature, has some capacitance, usually it goes around 200pF. In other words, I took 2x220pF out of preamp as it was "eating" high tones a lot. This fairly improved sound.

Overall it can be compared 1:1 to cheap DIY models, on blind test I made (with DIY I have made), no one of listeners could tell the difference. Only difference is that DIY cost around $35... So this is solid product, but nowhere near spectacular. I wish I can have a RIP to hear how this preamp sounds with different turntables/cartridges.

Bottom line: it looks nice, build is really at high level, it do the "job" fairly well and can sound even better when modded, but it is missing input selector for capacity and resistance load so you are limited in cartridges selection.

Professor Brooks is the best, most people aren't talking enough about these issues today and definitely not from an informed perspective.

Question: Very authentic.  It really takes me back.

I had the honor of serving in the LRRPS/Rangers in Vietnam.  By the time I got there, "Spanky" was already one of the seasoned "Old Timers".  This isn't one of the more exciting and action packed accounts of the Vietnam War.  However, it does give an excellent and very accurate account of day to day life in Vietnam.  Especially, life with the LRRP/Rangers.  The patrols that the LRRP/Rangers did were not about action.  They were about stealth and gathering intelligence on the enemy.
So, if you're looking for a lot of action and adventure...  Look elsewhere.  However, if you're looking for an accurate and insightful account of life in one of the most elite combat units of the Vietnam War, then this is the book you should read..!

I purchased this for a gift, I am sure he'll love it!  Looks great.

Question: Increadible speakers for dirt cheap!

Absolutely incredible speakers people like to down sony these days but you have to remember they used to be the top of the line I have 2 of these in seperate sealed boxes with 1.75 cubic ft of volume in a 2006 F150 extended cab paired with a 4000 watt rockville phenom (obviously not true wattage but pushes two of these bridged hard all day long without heating up so I'm happy with it) I also have a Sony wx-900bt radio and some fosgate doorspeakers. I've been through different sizes styles and brands of subs and tried a few different boxes with each and these are by far the best speakers i have had I've had memphis 10's kicker 12's and one fosgate p3 12 but for the money and the performance these are by far better if your thinking about buying these speakers my only piece of advice is buy them while you still can. Note: Performance wise these subs are beasts two of these and on a normal listening level I prefer bass heavy music, at a normal listening level it hits to the point it moves my hat on my head makes my nose itch and anything on my dash is boucing around.

I love the fact that this is weighted - it doesn't go anywhere even with a bunch of cables hanging off of it. It looks attractive, too.

Unfortunately, within a couple of months, two of the ports quit working. As we had spare slots, this wasn't a huge deal for us - but if you need all 7 slots, you may be disappointed.

I haven't had any issues with powered devices but I don't run anything major off the hub, just the printer and a few other low-power peripherals.

Update 7/2011: At the moment, only two of the seven ports are working. Avoid this product.

Great bag for extras!  I'm stuffing this in my carry on for those times when I buy too much on vacation and have to bring more stuff home with me..  It folds down really small, but opens up to be the perfect size to go under the seat as a free 'personal item' carry on for any airline.  I haven't used it yet, but I am keeping it as a backup for emergencies when I make too many gift purchases on vacation.

Used these to hang lights aND lanterns from my classroom ceiling. My OCD husband, who was volun-told to help me, said they were easy to use and very strong. Great value, too.

I find short ghost/horror stories have much more impact than novels of the same genre.  This book includes stories from many well known horror authors, but they are not the usual stories which often turn up time & time again in these mammoth books.

These Lupo pants are the best, they fit great, the color is just as pictured a very pretty pinkish hue all over, it has contouring around the rear area so the back side looks good.  Honestly the quality of the Lupo pants is great. I will always be out on the look out for other colors and designs, they are the BEST!!!!!

Question: not entirely worthless, but pretty close

not as seamless as they'd have you believe.  takes a looooooong time to transfer; not everything transfers; dashboards don't work so you can't click buttons to accomplish and you have to call tech support; tech support virtually worthless, try to sell you more based on "you're likely transferring malware to your new device, but we can save you . . .; only good for one use.

Will clean glass ok, but will take several passes, making it somewhat time consuming even for a nano tank.  Works ok for my 5 gallon nano cube, but would not recommend for larger aquariums; it would take forever to clean a 10+ gallon.  In the past I've used the twister magnets (large size for a 75 gal), and it cleaned much more efficiently, but that may be due to its larger surface area.  Small size does let you get in behind driftwood, etc.  If this product were more fairly priced, I'd probably rate it higher.

Question: If you care about children & faith, this is a must read!!!

As a parent & a youth pastor, I highly recommend this book! The ministry world has been wrestling for years with the devastating reality that young people are leaving the church and faith at an alarming rate. This reality has forced much introspection, many suggestions, hopes and ideas. Unfortunately, it's been a guessing game that hasn't seemed to increase the odds.

Sticky Faith is a game changer! This book is filled with sold research and practical, sustainable ideas for changing the future of our young people. The book is an enjoyable read, fascinating and inspiring. As a parent, I was encouraged, challenged and uplifted. As a youth pastor,  I was filled with hope!

Often, books with such transformational information feel overwhelming. One of the things I appreciated most about this book was that it felt possible! The way it's written allows a person to take a step at a time and know that they are making a difference. I have a feeling I will be reading this book for years and every time, make another little change.

Truly, if you care about children and you care about faith, this book is a must read!

Oh, these are so delicious and because they are low in sugar, we don't feel bad about having 1 every few days.  Thank you for making such a tasty product that is actually good for you (except for the small amount of sugar).

Question: TPU-Cases Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Cover for HTC Hero S (US Cellular)

If you got the Hero S from US Cellular and you got large, hairy man hands that can crack open lobster shells and beer bottle caps like mine do then you probably realized that the Hero S is a bit small in your hands as well as being a great performing phone.  Doesn't make the phone massive by any means, just more substantial.  So when I'm waving my hands around like I'm Ari Gold my device won't fly out and lodge it self in my secretary's rump.
Well no more worries...there is a case worthy of buying to protect your delicious investment and communication line.
This case is got a flexible body that doesn't hold on to dandruff and crumbles of beer bread when you set it down.  Just give that phone condom a quick wipe and its all good in the hood.
The case has got the back half a matte black finish that doesn't make your clammy sweat palms leak more.
The top half of the case is a shinier black finish that blends in with the phone.  seriously the case looks like it was made with the phone.  Well done!
This case has all the important ports/speakers/buttons that need to be exposed for correct operation.
This case is snug too. Its like a black snuggie for your telly! Holy crap, give me a sweat rag...his case is making me hot.
For the price you cant beat it.
Maybe for future packages include a cut to the phone clear plastic for the screen, but now I'm just being ridiculous.

Exactly as described.  Clear screen with night vision and excellent audio. Great investment.

Overall I love Casemate's slim profile cases. The slim profile especially creates a non-bulky look, almost like not having a case at all. What I hated about this one, however, was the that bottom of the glittery part started bulking up and created a bump at the bottom!! The glitter in that area started fading and dirt was being trapped in there. Very disappointed; had the case for a couple months before having to throw it out.

I read this book in high school and it is still one of my favorites today. I bought it to re-read it and I'm so glad I did. It's an amazing story! There's many ethical issues discussed as well as all kinds of twists and turns throughout. You won't be bored reading this book.

The OEM bars on my 2016 Prius 5-door made a fairly annoying whooshing noise on the highway despite having an elliptical "aero" shape.  The Yakima Windshield cut wind noise way down to an acceptable level.  The 46" version is exactly the right width for the car and was very easy to install .  There is enough space between its top edge and the front of the bar that it should not interfere with mounting my boat racks, bicycle rack, etc.

Question: Miss Maude Silver #6.

This is book number six in the Miss Silver series by Patricia Wentworth.  This one takes place while World War II is still going on so there is some intrigue happening in connection with the war.  Meade Underwood met Giles Armitage in New York where they had a whirlwind romance before boarding their liner for the trip back to England as an engaged couple.  The ship was torpedoed and Meade was rescued but Giles was not.  Now Meade is living with her Aunt Mabel while she recovers from the disaster and tries to recover from the physical and mental trauma.  Vandeleur House has been made into apartments and if you look long enough you will see that there are secrets in each of those apartments.  Combine secrets with someone with the desire to blackmail and you are sure to get tragedy.

Patricia Wentworth is a wonder with creating tangled webs of lies and deceit which she sets Miss Silver to unraveling.  Miss Maude Silver, an ex-governess, is the noticing kind (a phrase I borrowed from an Agatha Christie story) and it's certainly true that everyone in Vandeleur House wants to keep something out of sight. The characters in this story are fully developed and I felt so sorry for Meade I just wanted to give her a hug.  That isn't what I wanted to do to other characters.  This is not a story of the deprivations suffered in war torn London, but the atmosphere of the time and place are wonderfully rendered in this story of love lost, secrets, and evil.

If I could give this a zero star I would. First off THIS IS A METAL BOXSPRING!!! If that doesnt tell you to not buy it alone... it should! It was my miserable I didn't read the description clearly. My husband is very handle literally built our whole house, this took him 2 hours to put together, then once it was together the cover didn't fit the frame, we were literally pulling as hard as we could to get it to fit and it didnt. So you have a metal box spring with no cover. Its horrible!!!!!!

Question: Garage Intel Inc. is Unresponsive Seller

I would not recommend buying from this seller.  We received the keychain transmitter but it does not seem to be compatible with the garage door opener.  We took great care in ordering the right transmitter to ensure compatibility with our new opener but the one they sent us simply does not work;  its light turn on when the button is pressed but the opener does not respond to its signal, if in fact it is sending a signal.  We have programmed serveral other transmitters to the opener very esily, so we know the problem is with the keychainl.  We have sent several emails to Garage Intel Inc. over the last month with specific information on the opener and the keychain's circuit board but no response from the seller.  It seems as the keychain is headed for the landfill, as did the one from a previous reviewer of this seller.  Unfortunately we did not heed his advise to not buy from this seller.

Spotty with the connection, but I would perfer a laid down version instead.

Question: If you want to be a 5 star web developer-- Get this book!

Finally!!! I have been looking for this book for years.  I'm a professional web application developer with years of experience on the technical side ( java/cold fusion/cgi/sql ).  But I never *really* understood how to use CSS effectively, and I've spent WAY too much time dinking around with tables and goofy HTML tricks.  This book was just what I needed.  A logical explanation of the different approaches and how they really work. No wasted paper in this book.  Its worth three times the price.

Very sturdy product. Everything on the boom is metal. Shock mount, springs, the arm itself is all metal. I wouldn't recommend this for a large desk, but if you have a small desk like I do then this is perfect. I have a AT2020 microphone and the shock mount will hold the microphone IF you peel the rubber coating off the inside the shock mount. The AT2020 is just too fat to fit in the shock mount with the rubber coating on and it will be a tight fit but at least you know your microphone won't slip out accidentally. As for the XLR cable included, it runs through the boom and I don't have any need for it so I had to cut the wire in order to get rid of the XLR cable. But overall I'm extremely satisfied with the boom.

The book is a little intimidating for the chess novice but still a very valuable tool.  The moves are given in chess Algebraic notation and can be a bit difficult to follow without using a board.  There are frequent board images but not for every move as that would take up too much space.  That said the detail that is given for all the moves and going deep on the important points has certainly improved my play.  Would recommend this book highly.

Great guide to the Civil War connection to New York City.  Many of the historic buildings are still surprisingly standing in the City including the venue in which Lincoln delivered a speech which helped him to gain the presidency.  Also, in his own words,  a photograph which he believed helped him to election to that office taken by the famous photographer of his day,Mathew Brady, who had a studio in Manhattan.  A marvelous book with accompanying photos relevant to the subject matter.  Highly recommended!

Question: Clear, detailed explanation of where we need to go and why.

An easy to understand approach to greening our industries. Simple to understand and well written. I just wish it was available in electronic form, that would make it green enough to get another star.

Very pleased with this necklace - my daughter is a huge fan of owl jewelry and the price on this was exceptional

Question: A darker side of Alice

I have read and watched a variety of Alice based books and movies since I was young.  None of them have held my attention like this version.  Alice in Zombieland kept me laughing page after page.  I couldn't help but compare each of the scenes with my memory of how it was presented in a more traditional rendition.  Alice is still a sweet, innocent girl, though her perfectly pressed dress and starched pinafore does take quite a beating and bloodying.

The story starts with Alice and her sister outside enjoying the lovely day.  This time they are in a graveyard., and it is a black rat that distracts Alice and leads her astray and down into an open grave.  The tale continues to parallel Mr. Lewis's original story line, though the descriptive details and much more dark and dead.  Zombie dead that is.

As with the first version, I loved the description of the Mad Hatter's tea party.  The teacups are all there, ample food to share and the same company.  It was the change in the details that kept me in rapt attention.  While I have had many tea parties with my daughter when she was young,  I couldn't successfully imitate this one.

I don't know that zombie books will ever become a first choice read for me, but this one kept me coming back for more.  I loved the descriptions of the blood spurts and gore, the flesh ragged bones lying around and the listless responses of the 'cards'.  Frequently I would stop and read a particularly  gruesome passage out loud to which ever family member happened to be in the same room with me.  I fear that they now think I am truly demented.  If you have read Mr. Carroll's version and are looking for a read that is a lot less sweet, give  Alice and Zombieland  a read.

Been there and done that.  This book hits home because I was one of those '60s radical liberal democrats who was lost... and was foolish enough to listen to my leftists' college professors who were against the Vietnam War and encouraged me to demonstrate and fight against everything our country stood for... I fell hook, line, and sinker.  My mantra was "turn on, tune in and drop out" ... "if it feels good... do it"  Here is a link to my book, Once Life Matters: A New Beginning - 1st. Edition

I highly recommend Abduction...

This is probably not a book for the generalist, but if you are a buff on the period, or perhaps you can't get enough of Hornblower, Aubrey, Bolitho and Ramage, this is a book you must own.  Its very useful coming a across a ship in your reading, and being able to instantly look it up and find information on its construction, class, armament, crew and captains.

Question: An Essential Key To Understanding Vintage Automobile Development

The best way to describe this 96-page 8  x 10 inch volume and its author is to quote from the inside front flap of the dust cover: "In many countries the cult of old cars has developed into a major interest. There are three reasons for this: that cars are important evidence in the story of mechanical invention; that many of them are objects of considerable beauty and charm; and that enthusiasts have taken the troubles to refurbish survivals and display them attractively and informatively to the public. Among the latter, Michael Sedgwick, curator of Lord Montagu's famous Motor Museum, must be counted among the world's leading authorities. In this book he describes and illustrates a truly international range of early cars, from America, England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Austria. Many of the 144 illustrations (in color and black & white) are of cars in the Museum now restored to running order, and many others are taken from the unique library of motoring photographs assembled there."

The book is broken down into 4 chapters and an introduction as follows (a list of the photographs and illustrations is in the Comments below):

INTRODUCTION - The cult of the old car - Old car clubs and museums - The sport's the thing - pages 4 to 7;

Chapter One - THE PIONEER DAYS, 1769-1904 - The invention of the motor car - Steam coaches - Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz - Early experiments - The headaches of the pioneer automobiles - the internal combustion engine's rivals: steam and electricity - The De Dion-Bouton and the Mercedes - The Oldsmobile - Design and fittings - The six-cylinder engine - page 8 to 32;

Chapter Two - THE GOLDEN AGE, 1905-1914 - The Edwardian car and the Edwardian style of driving - Selective transmission, four-wheeled brakes, tidier engines - A light two-seater for a lady - Electric lighting and the self-starter - The `six" - The quest for a successor to the popper-valve - The immortal `Silver Ghost' - Henry Ford's Model-T - The cyclecar - Sports cars - Cars go to war - pages 33 to 55;

Chapter Three PURE TRANSPORT, 1919-1930 - Splendid luxury and sporting vehicles - and mass productions - Progress and fads - Improvement in engine design - Multi-cylinderism and the straight-eight - The general adoption of four-wheeled brakes - Improved instruments - The sportsman's coup, the assembled car and the baby car - Post-war boom in luxury cars - Vintage sports cars - The end of motoring as pure pleasure - pages 56 to 77;

Chapter Four MOTORING COMPETITIONS - Early events part race, part rally and part reliability trial - The start of international racing - the Gordon Bennett Cup - National racing colours - The Paris-Madrid race in 1903 - The development of light-car racing - Grand Prix racing, formule libre and the Bugatti straight-eight - Brooklands, Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, the Tourist Trophy - The separate path of American motor-racing - The land speed record - Long- distance reliability trials - the Monte Carlo Rally.

Works well enough but falls off wall randomly and one side of the pocket should be shorter than the other so it's easier to get toys in and out

I like this mug and that it makes it impossible to spill liquids  when traveling around. However, I am writing 4 stars instead of 5 because the orchid looks more purple-ish than dark reddish.

I have a tall skinny boy, and most pants are so baggy on him.  These were the only ones we tried that were not (Used Prime Wardrobe to compare several different pairs).

There is no "length" associated with these if you look at the tag.  I suspect it's 28" waist and 32" long.

They look good, and trendy for a teen.  No issues at all!

Question: Great multi-purpose exercise shoes

I got these as a gift for my husband, who was in dire need of new running/exercise shoes. He has a lot of variety in his workouts (cardio, stairmaster, weights, etc.), and it didn't make sense to splurge and get two different kinds of shoes. (After all, that is only a recent trend thanks to the shoemakers.)

We both love Asics, and they don't disappoint with these shoes. He says they are very lightweight and comfortable regardless of the workout.

Fit as expected.

Needed this book for a class at Portland State U.  More convenient than the school bookstore.

Question: and I like to broaden my horizons

I downloaded the Vegan Diet cookbook because I am a vegetarian, and I like to broaden my horizons. The books began with a few pages of information about becoming vegan and vegetarian  not new news to me, but it may be helpful to someone else. Many vegan cookbooks include recipes for uncommon foods, that Ive never heard of  but this book includes many staples (such an pancakes, muffins, corn chowder, and stir fry) that are sure to come in handy if you're becoming vegan. On the other hand, it also includes a recipe for vegan spaghetti which isn't exactly rocket science.
The concept of electronic books for Kindle is really great, and convenient. When purchasing  I have them sent to my iPhone or iPad. As a parent, I feel much better about handing my child (2 years old) an iPad that is filled with books he loves and can learn from  instead of junk games that have no educational value. He likes to look through them in the truck, and it is so much easier to haul 1 iPad with multiple books then to have a full library in our vehicle. Its also quite handy to have them on my phone (I don't keep games on it) so that in a pinch, he can look at books on it  like when the grocery store check out line is taking waaay too long, or if we hit a snag in our plans right before nap time. And a cookbook, on your phone, it doesnt get any more simple than that.

My kitties love these mice! They are made of real fur with felt nose and eyes for a realistic tempting toy. The insides appesr to be maid of cardboard.

The cats (2 4 year old kitties and a 6 month kitten) went crazy for them. They loved chasing them, chewing on them, and eating them. Their favorite color is the white mice. It is common for the cats to eat these toys, especially the tail. Do not worry. This is normal in the wild where they would eat mice and other animals.

Great buy!

Review on Dragon Tears by Nancy Segovia

This was my first time reading a Nancy Segovia book. I am a big fan of dragons, this book did not disappoint. It was filled with adventure as well as emotion. The basic storyline was filled with emotion on the relationships between those who are precieved as "different". There were many underlying "lessons", from accepting who you are in this world to accepting those that are different from you. The adventure came from the many experiences of this unusual group of travelers. From their first encounters with one another to their final meeting of the creator.

I also felt the spiritual message of good vs. evil was played out very well. I  particularly liked the concept of the one creator and the mystery surrounding the belief of one creator responsible for the creation of the world.

It was wonderful the way the author's writing helped me to visualize the characters, scenery and the array of colors and texture. I look forward to reading more books by this extremely talented author, Nancy Segovia.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for the opportunity to read your book.

I like coming of age stories. Heinlein is great at these, and this is one of his best. It's a believable story with good character development and an interesting thesis. The story has some unexpected twists, and the usual subtle humor.

The Magical Trunk is a fun way to introduce colors to your child. The illustrations are bright and beautiful and the book is a lot of fun for parents to read. A good teaching tool for those little ones just learning their colors.

The metal tip continues to separate from the belt and the belt itself is not very substantial; poorly made

Question: Finally, a finance book liberal arts majors can appreciate

First of all, I would like to comment on the ingeniousness of the title "Finance and the Good Society." For "finance" generally brings to mind a world of relentless profit-seeking, while Good Society recalls one that is abundant in comforts, altruism and beauty. No two worlds could have been more antithetical, and surely, it is in the latter that human civilization and its most glorious achievements- arts, literature, music, ideas- thrive. Robert J. Shiller undermines this perceived relationship between the two concepts by effectively arguing that good society in fact, owes a great deal to finance.

The book even goes into some much appreciated etymology, such as the Latin roots of finance to mean "goal". One of the many memorable statements Shiller made included "Finance is the science of goal architecture". People design instruments like mortgage-backed securities so that we can afford to buy homes and exchanges are created to reduce the transaction costs of over-the-counter deals. Of course, people profit from these creations, but this does not give us sufficient reason to discredit these instruments and the benefits they bring.

Perhaps what this book does best is exposing our myopia, and often negative bias, regarding finance. But who can blame us? Given the 2008 financial crisis and the downfall of MF Global, the word "finance" has acquired a very bad taste. Because of its arcane nature of the subject, most people would much rather embrace this bias instead of understanding the problem in its entirety. To do so requires examining the micro-structures of decision making of financial institutions- be it the incentives of market makers or the credit rating agencies. Indeed, finance is not a centralized "master mind", must less a coordinated evil force, under which all individual players are subsumed. Instead, it is the players- the men and women and the specific roles they play in the industry- that one must focus on. It is the cogs that run the machine and not vice versa, and Schiller makes this powerful point.

In his introduction, Shiller makes an astute comparison between financial innovation and mechanical innovation. According to him (and Google), the term "financial innovation" was not officially recognized until the 1970s, when the first financial patent was approved. This made me think of a line in the recent movie, Margin Call, when a main character lamented (not exact words), "I used to build railways...xxxx number of passengers used this railway every day. Now I am selling these instruments for the bank (the point is that he can no longer quantify the benefits he is creating by selling these instruments)." He is wrong, Shiller would tell us. Just because a futures contract is less tangible than a railway does not mean that it has no quantifiable benefits (Richard Sandor makes a good attempt at quantifying these benefits in his book Good Derivatives: A Story of Financial and Environmental Innovation). More research should be done in this area, and Shiller has paved the path for us.

I am very disappointed with this product, after waiting over a month for it to be delivered I received it in a plastic bag, then after putting it together, downloading the Wi-Fi app. on my phone I discovered the camera would not keep a Wi-Fi link to the phone, I e-mailed the company for help but they still haven't got back to me, The drone is pretty easy to fly but the batteries don't last to long and range is very limited, never again with this company.

Question: Good read, a bit slow

Good read, a bit slow, and the ending happened a bit suddenly and the events didn't come together very smoothly. Overall not a bad bedtime read.

It's a good game overall, fun, realistic enough.  The graphics are very good.  PS2 version was terrible, but XBOX 360 version did not suffer those flaws.  Worth buying if you are into FPS type of game, like WWII action, and want to know what it was like to fight Japanese in the Pacific.  Some people don't like to follow sargeant or whomever around on the missions, but believe me, without him you would be lost in jungles, caves, or trench networks.  You NEED him to find your objectives.  Completing them is up to you.  You play as private who takes orders regarding the objectives, not as a special forces OSS officer who makes up his or her own missions.  It's war, and there is no time for free roaming around.  You need to complete your objectives in a timely manner, and it helps to have senior officer to guide you through the missions.  It's smart to pick up enemy weapons when low on ammo as well.  Difficulty can be chosen depending on experience and combat skill level of the player.

This is definitely one of the most cheaply made kitchen products I have ever purchased. I've owned it just over 1 month and the plastic handle has already cracked (see pics). Before it cracked the handle would easily pop off and I'd have to put it back together. I would never recommend this product and am returning it. Very disappointed.

Question: was facinating and funny all at the same time

The Road to Wellville... was facinating and funny all at the same time.  I'm not going to delve into an intellectual
diatribe over various aspects of this film...  I was entertained by it and I believe it will be my next purchase !

I decided to wait a few months before reviewing Corsair's h60 due to the number of people who thought badly of their water coolers from a variety of sites speaking of the pump making noises and failing. After 3 months of use i can now honestly review the product. The pump on my unit did make a noise after a day or two of use. but went away after a coupple of  weeks. You may ask why i did not RMA it immediately well i thought after reading into what would cause it and basicly there is three theroys why it is making the noise etheir something dose not align right in it, or it is vibrating due to high speed because the motor turns the pump at 4200rpm about. or like i will say there is a break in periode were it may or may not make this noise. I think this is for the first 30 hours of use(for me 2 weeks about) is the break-in period for the pump.  i have not heard a noise since. these things last like 50,000hrs so 30 hrs out of 50,000 is very aceptable to me

now to the positives.
  1. the pump itself if not making the noise it did the first week is really really quiet the fan for the radiator drowns it out so to tell its running you have to touch it and feel the small amount of vibration. also the fan is quieter than the rest of the fans in my case.

  2 it keeps the processor a little above room temperature if only web browsing or listening to music(or both)i have an i7-2600k and it stays at 27c most of the time. only when using it more heavily like a game, vm, or video editing do i see the temps rise which for me plato around 46-50c and never climb higher no-matter how long or how much harder the processer works.

  3 INSTALLATION WAS made out to be a big deal for this cooler it was EASY!!!!!! if unscrewing your motherboard (like 6 screws on average) is hard for you (don't mean to be rude) but go get a life because computers are not your thing then, and you should not be looking at this cooler. it took me 15 min to install. 5 to take out mb 5 to put on mb, and 5 to put mb back in case.

Question: My Newest Beauty Necessity! The Best Coconut Oil Out There! Must Buy!

AMAZED BY THE QUALITY OF THIS PRODUCT!  I have to say my skin is important to me.  I live in Maine and during the winter my face and skin get dry and chapped.  So this brand of coconut oil really has been a MIRACLE WORKER for my dry skin.  The great thing about this product is you can use it for your skin, hair, and for cooking. You can eat it straight out of the jar! I do use it after I get out of the shower, it gives my skin a subtle glow. and its not too greasy. The smell is not overpowering at all! It quickly absorbs in your skin and does not stain your clothes.

One thing I will mention is the texture when you first open the jar it's very hard, But what I do is start rubbing my fingers on the oil and my body heat melts it right to my fingers.  Then I massage it through my skin and its heaven! Your skin will feel super soft and it will glow a bit.  I actually use it under my makeup and my skin looks flawless! This is definitely my new favorite beauty necessity!

I have REALLY bad feet....you name it, it's wrong with them!  These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.  I can wear them to work and they are comfortable and stylish.

Question: definitely does not keep coffee warm. I thought it ...

definitely does not keep coffee warm.  I thought it might be the coffee mug so I switched coffee mugs (aluminum to ceramic) and the coffee still was cold after 30 minutes.  The warmer top is definitely hot, but when I touched under the coffee cup - straight cold!

We bought this harness 4 months ago and absolutely love it!  We have had various light up collars and clip on lights over the years and this light up harness far exceeds any of the other items we've ever gotten for our dog.  Roxie, our Rottweiler, had no adjustment period for this harness - in fact, unlike most harnesses and vests, this didn't seem to bother her at all. All the different colors and modes brings attention to an otherwise hard-to-see black dog alerting other walkers and drivers that we are nearby.  In our neighborhood, she's known as "The Light Up Dog" after one of our 4 year old neighbors exclaimed "Look Daddy!  There's the light up dog again!"  I would have no qualms recommending this item to others and, in fact, we plan to have 3 dogs and will be sure to order one for each!

For reference, our dog is 85 pounds and the large fits her perfectly with room to expand, if necessary.
