Question: Yummy! Like warm bread pudding!

This was the first book I purchased from the Acreage series before realizing I needed to read the first one, stopping midway and purchasing that one, then eagerly returning to this. Truly it was initially my favorite. I loved Sarah and though at first I didn't want to like Thomas, as he was a slave owner and all, the author's treatment of him, as she revealed more and more of this character, made me fall in love with him as well. It was hard for me, then, to come to terms, with the way that book ended. I had rooted so much for this pair, wanted desperately to see them end up together (no matter how unrealistic that might have been) and when that didn't happen I was sorely disappointed. The good news is that the story doesn't end there. Free At Last brings closure to this book. I recommend that any reader buy all three and read them together. Like any good series - Divergent, Twilight, Hunger Games - it is just more satisfying when you follow the story right through to its conclusion.

I just recently discovered victor methos and I absolutely love his books so far I've been reading them all but this one was disappointing to me really don't get the plot that's just my opinion everything else I've read I think is great

Question: Poor design, poorer quality.

I bought a three pack and only two work properly.  They attach to where ever you are mounting them with a nail (provided) or a screw (which I provided, since screws are more reliable than nails in an application like this).  BUT, there is only one tab to run the nail or screw through which allows the device to move around on a windy day. One tab would be just fine inside your home, but it is not very reliable for something installed outside and exposed to weather.

Poor design, poorer quality.

THIS was the best series I couldn't wait for the next book!! I hate to see it end please write more there's the next generation!!! lol

Question: Tony Hawk's Trick Tips Volume 2

I'm an old skool dawg who skated nothing but Tony Hawk decks back in the day, so any DVD with Tony on it is a MUST-HAVE!  As for the content, there are 21 tricks in all.  Rail tricks include:  feeble grind, frontside smith grind, frontside boardslide, backside lipslide, frontside noseslide.  Flipping tricks include:  backside 180 kickflip, frontside 180 kickflip, varial kickflip, 360 flip, frontside 180 heelflip, backside 180 heelflip, varial heelflip, hardflip.  Ramp tricks include:  axle stall, 50-50 grind, pivot, 5-0 grind, frontside ollie, fakie disaster, frontside disaster, backside disaster.
As for the format, the DVD is set up much like Vol. 1.  Chapter advance on your remote will bring you straight to the next trick.  There are sub-menus to help you navigate as well.  In my opinion, Eric Koston is a great sk8er, but his comedy needs MUCH work.  His antics get to be really annoying after a while.  Now the StyLiN' tips by Colin McKay was funny!  Colin basically teaches you how to be a poser heheh.  Tony's son Riley is in the video; he helps demonstrate the frontside ollie on the ramp.  And what a ramp!!!  Bob Burnquist's private backyard half-pipe/bowl hybrid thang.
Get this DVD and be amazed how someone 6'3" with size 13 shoes can manipulate a skateboard.  Ok, so Tony can't do the backside 180 heelflip... or can he???  Just watch the credits and cheer!!!  Yay!!!

I hope it keeps working. It's cute, and replaces 2 M-Audio MIDI-Uno's which both developed intermittent (and therefore unusable, professionally) failures. This one looks like it may last. I hope so. So far, so Good!
Make sure that you've plugged the right MIDI plug into the right MIDI receptacle on your instrument.

Question: It was easy to use and saved me tons of money by ...

This product works exactly as described. It was easy to use and saved me tons of money by not having to buy a new refrigerator when I re-did my kitchen. The only problem is that it is peeling off the previously white handles on my fridge and freezer. I wish I could replace the handles with black ones, but they are no longer available.  I have some left over paint, so will probably just re-paint them. Meanwhile I will continue to look for handles that will fit my fridge and freezer.

Fiskars Gel Pen 48-Piece Value Set
Out of all the gel pen sets ive bought this one is my favorite there's plenty of ink in each pen and it glides onto my adult coloring books flawlessly with very little to no seepage through the paper. The package it comes in is sturdy enough to use as storage for these pens.

Question: One of the greatest literary characters of our time!

Edgar Rice Burroughs created many literary heroes, but two stand high above all the others, one being John Carter, the other,perhaps the most famous, is Lord Greystoke aka TARZAN OF THE APES. Twenty some novels, numerous movies, TV versions, comic books, and many other forms of media have told tales of the baby boy raised by the great apes, becoming master of the land and it's animal kingdom, a man that reclaimed his inheritance, became well educated then returned to his jungle element where the twisted ways of mankind could be left behind. This is a superb collection of the first group of novels, presented in order, that E.R.B. unleashed, and , in my opinion, are the best of the Tarzan legacy. It all started here and went on to capture the entire world's imagination. If you grew up reading them, read them again, and then pass it on to the next generation. They need to know that the greatest heroes came from sharp minds filled with creativity, not video games.

Awful.  You stick it on your computer and the edges are nowhere near exact.  Junk.

Question: however I could see on any small engine machine that vibrates this may not be the best choice. (with the ball it comes with) I .

What you would expect from a RAM product. Having said that there is a small issue with the ball, the rubber that it is make of is softer than most RAM mount balls and vibrates with the engine. I am using this on an ATV, however I could see on any small engine machine that vibrates this may not be the best choice. (with the ball it comes with) I will be buying a different ball to replace the one it comes with to see if that solves the problem. The clamp itself holds tight, overall a good very versatile mount.

I really enjoy reading urban mystery/science fiction genres. Barr has certainly made some great contribution to the genre with this book. The fact that you can just pick our normal and mundane life and just add all kinds of elements that give a spark to reality is whats great about fiction books, and The tales of Conor Archer do a great job at exploring those possibilities. I really like the edgy fantasy style, but I enjoy it more when it is still a bit realistic and things still make sense, I was glad the author made sure to cover this aspect in his writings.

The fact that we can see the progression of the main character is also a high point of the book. You don't have your general hero that just gets everything right, but instead you have someone that stumbles all the way through and learns as he goes. I guess this is what allows us to feel a little bit connected to the story, since we are always stumbling and fighting our way through as we learn how to do things right, just as Conor did.
The scenarios in this book are quite appealing. I believe that the use of tales and folklore added a mood that is quite interesting, inviting that curiosity/fear of a mystical world we are not too familiar with. Very rich story, definitely a great call for a series.

With the standard mount I felt like I had to take my eyes way off the road to see the computer. This extension requires just a glance down and is so much more natural. With the standard mount your line of sight is almost in line with your pedals. With the extention your line of sight is your front tire. In my opinion much safer, much more comfortable.

My 3 1/2 year old Granddaughter really enjoyed this. The claps was a bit difficult for me to open, but I guess that is good. You can be very creative with this.

Question: While it's better to read in order

skipped the first book (I have no idea how I missed it) and started with this one. While it's better to read in order, as usual, I don't think I missed anything that made reading this one confusing or more difficult. I liked the idea of fake engagements and shady islands full of people with itchy trigger fingers. Their relationship was fast and furious, but being together as much as they were helped move their feelings along without being forced. I'll be going back to check out the first book in this series, too.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Excellent product. Takes lots of time to assemble. Comes in flat box weighing about 70 lbs. unpac and move piece by piece unless you have help. Delivered with hefty freight bill.

Question: Willow Rose continues the series

The latest of the Emma Frost series continues strong and leaves you wanting more.

The wiring diagrams in the instructions were clear and easy to follow.  Attaching the red wire to the screw labeled red in the Venstar receiver is not rocket science. We took a picture of the wiring in the original thermostat in case we had to abandon this installation and reinstall the original thermostat, but the installation went without a problem.  Took less than 30 minutes to install and the unit started to work immediately.  We programmed the transmitter without any difficulty without reading the instructions.  One issue to consider, the footprint of the new receiver was smaller than the footprint of the existing thermostat and some touchup paint was required to cover the newly exposed wall.  The transmitter and receiver are about 20' apart with no walls between them.

Question: Beautiful and a joy to watch

"Metamorphosis" is a wonderful movie!

Previous Illustra Media productions, although high quality themselves, have presented their information as facts and conclusions, logical and intellectual, for the viewer's consideration.  "Metamorposis" on the other hand, presents its evidence like a beautiful bouquet of flowers in an elegant vase -- a lovely gift that you can't help but admire, and very suitable given its subject.

Question: Not as User Friendly as expected

All the reviews stated that this product was user friendly and I feel I am relatively comfortable with setting up home electronics however I did not have a user friendly experience. The picture was improved slightly after using. I have to admit I was disappointed after reading all of the other reviews.

i saw KISS 28times in my live between 1983 & 2010....! 9 times was the PSYCHO CIRCUS-Tour in Europe.....9 Concerts within 14 days ! And one year later I saw them in Richmond Coliseum on the 6th of June 2000 ! Remember the Tour-Program and there was standing ALIVE 4 will come in March ! But that never happend ! Later, I think in 2006 was the ALIVE BOX-SET released, but I haven't it till today......but this will change !
Now I have the Vinyl in my Home.......and I am lucky becaus this line-up I saw in both years, 1999 & 2000, so it's a great Memory for me ! Will love it till I die !
Hope for a release on CD too !!!!

Question: Great Bargain for Hobbyists

I often have need to cut through pewter miniatures with a jeweler's saw and that metal is unkind to blades. As you might imagine, they break frequently. Getting a full gross at a good price was a great find. The blades themselves work great, and I daresay are slightly less prone to breakage than the old ones I was using.

I've been a fan of the band since 1969 and after a lifetime of listening to far too much Grateful Dead music, I have come to the conclusion that 1972 is the best year the band put together.  I know it is a bit ridiculous, regarding a band that toured relentlessly for 30 years, to say one particular year is the "best", but I find myself returning to 1972 more than all the others combined.  I do like the early "primal" Dead years as well as 1977, but there's something about the combination of the youth and psychedelic energy of the late '60s coupled with the huge influx of new songs of the early '70s.  Together with the jazz influence of new pianist Keith Godchaux, the band took on a new sound that in my opinion was never equalled.  After the monster Europe '72 tour in the spring, the band was a well-rehearsed beast.  This Dick's Pick, together with DP36 taken from 6 days earlier at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, are sonic testaments of the best live band the world has ever seen. These are two of the better picks in the series.  Too bad we can't have a commercial release of the 9/24 show from the Palace in Waterbury CT (actually, this show will be released as the 1972 offering in the 80 CD career-spanning box set 30 Trips Around the Sun).  Remember what Bill Graham said - the Dead aren't the best at what they do, they're the only ones who do what they do.

Question: with the feel much like walking in a "low heeled pump"

Have indicated "fit as expected" because of others' comments indicating they were wide but I still wanted to try them.  They are wide and this makes for a sloppy, sliding foot placement. Unless one has an extremely wide foot, I believe these are going to be a wide fit.  I think the arch support would be decent for a slipper if the foot was held reasonably in place.  The bottom sole of the slipper has an inner raised portion and that is what one actually walks on rather than the entire sole.  That portion is 1 1/2 inch wide at the heel area so the slipper tends to be "wobbly", with the feel much like walking in a "low heeled pump".  So between lacking support because of the width and a being a bit wobbly, if one has balance or ankle issues, this may not be the slipper for you.  Having said all this, is it comfortable........yes,  but in a "sloppy" way that one has to be careful of so as not to walk off the side of the slipper.

Captain America in this film is nothing more then a punching bag and a wimp. The story is boring as the Pagemaster. The production values is so 1970's. Redskull in this film lost some credibility as a villian when he put on some new human skin. The female lead & the rest of the cast are forgettable. I give this movie a 1 out of 10.

Question: Affordable, stylish and fits well - light and well made jacket with ornate designs!

This is an outstanding and well made lightweight jacket for work and evening!  I had no idea what to expect and when it arrived it looked better than the photo.  I love the intricate details, the glossy raised patterns that are actually not noticeable until you really stare at the cuffs.  I don't like the extra string ribbons on the front of the jacket.  I much prefer a frog clip button at the top or some other small but practical closure for the top of the jacket but I can live with the ribbon like ties.  I didn't know what to expect from this seller or this manufacturer when I ordered.  The size was spot on and it fits comfortably.  In the photos the jacket appears to fit loosely and rather large on the small model but I am a large woman and it hangs quite well on me.  It is beautifully made and flatters my figure.  I will be looking for similar products from this seller and this designer soon!

And the price was actually affordable and awesome for this piece!

Wonderful product.  Amazing musical instrument.  Our son had been asking for one for about a year.  He had watched all the videos and practiced on the whatever he could get his hands on.  This was his Christmas present and he has been playing it ever since.

Question: Much better than others.

I've tried the Tapout brand for my kids and it cannot stand up to the abuse that this one does in comparison.  The gel does its job perfectly in that regard and after a few months it's still in pretty good shape.  I can't say much for protection (who can really unless they have scientific numbers?), but I am happy this can last longer than a season now.

On paper at least, this seems like an attractive sampler. And it is, as far as the music is concerned. These bits and pieces are some of the most inspired music from Berlioz's long masterworks for voices and orchestra such as Damnation de Faust, Romeo et Juliette, Les Troyens, and Benvenuto Cellini. In sterling performances, they're really enlivening music. Here, for a variety of reasons, they don't make the impact they usually do. First of all, Zinman, whom I usually admire, doesn't seem to warm up to the music. Maybe it's not his cup of tea--more of a Beethoven-and-contemporary music man, based on the stuff I've heard that he does really well. Also, as recorded here, the Baltimore Symphony doesn't seem to have the heft for Berlioz's dazzling orchestral display. Next to, say, the Montreal Symphony, which has done a lot of this music very successfully on disc, the Baltimore is lacking.

Then, as I suggest, a large part of the problem is the recording. Telarc's legendary recording technique don't seem to translate well to the Meyerhoff Hall, at least not in this recording; there's even some distortion in thickly scored passages. Argo/Decca got the measure of the hall better in their later and far more successful recordings from Baltimore.

So I say, shop around. You'll do far better with Dutoit, Davis, Nagano, Plasson, Nelson, et al.

Question: Lansing inMotion iM5 is great

This product was given to a friend as a gift. I was so impressed by the quality of sound, the size, and the fact that it charges while you listen, that I ordered it right away. I am quite satisfied with this audio system.

I purchased this so my mom could convert her collection of tapes to use on her mp3 player
Thankfully, she waited until I was visiting before trying to work.

The problem was not in the device itself, but in the USB connector that came with it.
In a word, it was crap.  The connector had a break in it such that it was still able to draw
power, but was unable to "talk" with the computer.

It took me a while to diagnose what was going on and if I had been talking to my mom on
the phone I likely would just have assumed the device was the problem.

The other thing is that instructions are inadequate to say the least.
While quite reasonable on basic installation, the use of devices features are effectively
a mystery, and this is after printing out the document on the CD.

I do give it 2 stars for the fact that I was able to get the device to work, but given I had
to go out and purchase a USB cable at close to the cost of what I paid for the whole
thing, I'm less than pleased.  With just a tiny bit more work on their part they could
have a 4 star device, but by trying to save a few pennies.......

So, if you want to buy this, I say that as long as you can deal with some aggravation, and
are careful to read through the hints others have posted, then it's not a terrible idea.
I think that if you plan to do hundreds of tapes that it might pay to get something a bit
higher up the food chain though, assuming of course that you by something of quality.

Question: Sexy, Provacative, Dead End

I was told by my friends that this book was good so I decided to read it.  From the moment I started reading I could not put the book down. I was spellbound for about 2 days. As I was getting towards the end I was very anxious to find out what would happen to Zoe. Yes, she did [anger] me off with all those different lovers.  I wanted to feel compassion for my fictional character Zoe but she was pushing it too far for no reason.
I knew that I was reading a book until I got towards the final chapters and all the lies and deceit started coming out. Then I thought that I was watching a movie.  As one critic says, its just too much to be BELIEVABLE. As an author, I think that Zane must always attempt to keep it REAL. REAL plots, REAL characters.  I think Json Reynard, Zoe's husband is indeed the perfect husband that we all as women would definitely love to have. Absolutely.
The Tyson character. Are we to believe that all Tyson's are rough, crazy, women abusers, and jail birds?
I did learn a lot from this book. I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading something else by Zane.

Question: Just as good as the cable from Apple, but cheaper!!!

I have been using this cable continuously for 2 weeks now and it lives up to abuse just as the Apple's offering.

I have used it to charge iPad and iPhone 5S and it charges both of those devices with no issues. In the past I have used non-certified cables and they almost always produced the warning when you plug it in, but considering this cable is certified it does not produce any sort of a warning, which is a good thing.

It charges the devices just as fast as the Apple's offering. I have this cable paired with the RAVPower's 4 Port charger.

The best part is that this is cheaper than Apple's cable and works just as great!!!!

Like some other reviewers said, its a bit long but fits well everywhere else.

Question: Let me preface by saying I love my last 3 pairs of Salomons

Let me preface by saying I love my last 3 pairs of Salomons.  This is a new series for me and the arch is a little too low, so I find when running down the mountain I tend to twist my ankle sometimes.  I usually wear a 10, but these seem a little big.  It will not discourage me from buying Salomons again as I believe they are the best trail runners I've every had (and I've climbed most of the big mountains in southern California!)

Good, clean neutral sound and it doesn't cost a ridiculous amount.  Good, long cable.  Fairly comfortable for long use but could always use more padding and detachable cable would have been nice (though it's successor has it =D).  Closed ear cups so can get sweaty but it does block out a fair bit of ambient noise.

I did not open the letter packet until I was setting my classroom up, a week after the return deadline. It is my fault for not checking everything when I ordered the product.  However, I will not be able to use this product in my classroom now.  Always check every little piece, even if you do not attend to use it immediately.

Aside from sizing, I loved this product.  It's simple, comfortable and does the job.

Question: The Hobbit was continuously edited on the fly to make it a better fit story for what his kids wanted to hear ...

The Hobbit or THERE AND BACK AGAIN
Written by J.R.R. Tolkien
330 Pages.
Published on September 21 1937
George Allen and Unwin Published the first edition of the hobbit.

Gold brings nothing but pain, this was the motto that the dwarves followed because they didn't want to make the same mistakes that their leaders had made before them going through there own journey.  If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. This was a statement that was spoken by Thorin Oakenshield this was a powerful quote because it showed what his true intentions were. The story told in The Hobbit, was not about greed or war, but simply lost men trying to find their way back home.
 J.R.R. Tolkien started writing this story has more of a story that he wanted to tell his kids, this story was never meant to be something that evolved into what it is today with multi million dollar movies or action figures, but simply a story for Tolkien to tell his kids. The Hobbit was continuously edited on the fly to make it a better fit story for what his kids wanted to hear and was later fully edited by himself to make the story we have today. The Hobbit is full of mixed emotions and very important messages that you really have to pick up on to see while some of the other simpler meanings, Tolkien seems to almost put right in front of you. Tolkien uses the main character Bilbo Baggins to really show how a single person can grow through a journey that he never expected, this journey really pushed the fictional character to his limits, it took him from his comfort zone of a cozy bed and morning tea to sleeping in a cold forest and barely surviving the world around him. Gandalf was the smart elder wizard in this story that always came in clutch for the 13 dwarves and Bilbo included. Tolkien was a huge fan of putting the people he created in the world he created to really give a thrilling experience, which in return left me as the reader always wanting to continue reading more of what he had to say. Tolkien beautifully organized There and Back Again, the story starts off with young Bilbo in his home and goes through the entire story just adventure after adventure all the way to the end where you get the image of Bilbo and Gandalf back Bilbo's house smoking their pipes together. When I finished this book I was left with just the overall sense of wanting more, Tolkien had perfected this book before he had even wrote it which really came to show when you read these pages. Overall I recommend this book to anyone and everyone this book can be read by 3rd graders or even by 70 year olds, overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and believe anybody who reads it will.

Great product.  Works better for body order than store bought stuff.

Question: Works OK, but has a couple of curable issues

This hose works OK.  I had to work some to stretch the small end to fit my Makita BO5031 sander - you'd think it would fit better than this on their own brand.  The other end is some off-the-wall size that probably fits Makita's vacuum just right, but took some duct tape work to match up with everything else I have.  The hose is very sturdy.  It's also a bit heavy and stiff, which can make it a little clumsy to balance the sander on the work unless you suspend the hose from above on a bungee cord.

If you're like me and cannot deal with those cheesy romance novels but like the idea of man meets woman, this book is for you.  A charged foray into the psyche of a female artist and her zest for life, art and man.  You  just may be able to understand your artistic friends after this read. The  pages of my copy are a bit frayed after being passed around but all who  delve into this world come out of it revived.

Question: Beautifully done. The board is the magnet

Beautifully done. The board is the magnet, so no worry about the magnets falling off the pieces. Also the board folds and snaps into place, holding the pieces well. Finally, the playing surface seems like it can handle a little moisture or a cleaning with a gentle cloth. It is not just a sticker.

I can't wait not to need it, but having a new Rescue dog, right now I do.  It seems to work fine, if one remembers to blot up as much liquid as possible, and then treat with the Odormute enzymatic cleaner, before applying any other substance to the "mistake."  So far it has worked fine on rugs, no color loss or change.  Haven't needed to try it on the hand-made oriental rugs with vegetable dyes. The room with that antique Persian carpet under the dining table gets sealed off when there's a new dog in the house, as the rug is irreplaceable.  It is a good product.

Question: Please do NOT bathe your rabbit!!

Rabbits are NOT meant to be bathed. Being in water can be so stressful for them that they can go into shock and literally die. Not only that, they use their ears to regulate body temperature, so getting them wet can cause them to have hypothermia. Their fur does not dry quickly, which can also lower their body temperature to a dangerous level. Please PLEASE do not use this on your rabbits or hamsters. They clean themselves perfectly well, enough not to have an odor if you keep their habitats clean. I'm horrified that Kaytee would put a rabbit on the bottle of this product. Please spread the word!

These were so cute.  They're a little smaller than regular rubber duckies but that was great for me because my one year old grandson can actually grab them.

If you're a lover of Tupac and haven't read this book of his poems, then you need to get yourself together and BUY THIS BOOK. It's absolutely beautiful!

Question: Amazing beginning to a new series!

Hellooooo, new favorite book!

The first thing that makes this read different from others is the writing style. It has short and abrupt sentences, no quotation marks, and is written in Saba's dialect which is grammatically incorrect. The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness uses a similar technique, but Blood Red Road definitely takes it up a few notches. It took a few pages to get used to, but soon enough I was so completely wrapped in the story that I hardly noticed it. I could see this writing style turning some readers off, but I personally felt it gave the material a little more character.

The book is completely action packed! It opens with a sandstorm, four horsemen showing up, Saba's father killed, and her twin brother, Lugh, captured by said horsemen. From there, we begin a journey with Saba to find and get Lugh back. Naturally there are quite a few bumps along the way -- very intense bumps -- but Saba proves what a complete badass she is, taking people down along the way and remaining unwilling to give up in her search for her brother.

Saba's charm for me, though, is not how many punches she can pack, but how much of a flawed character she is. She's selfish, stubborn, and can be very unlikable at times, but she's also fierce, vulnerable, loyal, and it would be impossible not to empathize with the loneliness she feels without Lugh. She does love him to a fault, but she manages to grow throughout the course of the novel and becomes a bit more self-aware. This isn't to say that she undergoes a magical transformation because, no, she does continue to screw up, but she's beginning to take the steps out of his shadow and into her own identity. I'm very excited to see the continuation of her personal journey in the next books in the series.

JACK!!! I can't have a review of this book without a mention of him. I absolutely LOVE him! Not only was the banter and tension between him and Saba delicious from the very beginning, but I wanted to give him a high five for being unafraid to call her out on her crap and her unfair treatment of Emmi. They're such a perfect balance for each other! LOVE.

If I could pinpoint the one real issue I had with this book, it's a certain event that happened in the last few pages. It completely took me by a surprise and I felt it was almost unnecessary. Perhaps it's setting up something in the next books, but I'm skeptical since the characters seemed to move past it fairly quickly... This might bug me more later, but right now I'm just completely in love with the rest of the novel. This was a great debut from Moira Young and I'm looking forward to more from her, both in this series and any other future works.

Although I've worn New Balance in the past, I pretty much stick to Asic and Brooks but decided to give these a try because they were so reasonably priced.  I love this shoe!  I've worn them to Zumba every day this week and usually the tendonitis in my left foot starts hurting at about the 40 minute point but I've been able to go a full hour each time.  I'd recommend this shoe to anyone with foot problems - they are light weight and nice looking but still provide a good amount of support.

Question: Most Concise History Book I've Ever Read

Thomas DiLorenzo really outdid himself with this book. He is the master of clear, in-depth explanations of the TRUE history of Abraham Lincoln. You will definitely not think of Lincoln the same way after reading this book. This book is not a smear of Abraham Lincoln; it's a reconsideration of his legacy and the myths surrounding him. Thomas DiLorenzo may be a professor of economics, but I can promise that this book is not written with economics in mind. DiLorenzo knows his history and worked very hard to put this book together. I challenge you to read this book!

I thought that the book would be cheap and the cover would be thin and flimsy but to my surprise, this is a very detailed book and the cover isn't thin cheap paper.
Although it's only half the Book of Mormon, it has been so fun to learn in a different way. It really makes you think about things in a new light.

Question: Promethean Presumption

In what would be known as Benedict XVI's final encyclical, the rugged 2009 Caritas in Veritate addressed the grave "economic situation" cascading across the globe in the context of long standing social teaching of the Church. This is not an easy read in a good way; it's demanding, it's difficult, as serious as the times it addresses, but Benedict guides us through proving once more that after the rise and fall of economic and political machines, there is no one left standing for the right and dignity of the human person as is the Catholic Church.

"A person's development is compromised if he claims to be solely responsible for producing what he becomes. In the face of such Promethean presumption, we must fortify our love for a freedom that is not merely arbitrary, but is rendered truly human by acknowledgement of the good that underlies it." Of course, those unfamiliar with both Benedict XVI and his writings fail to realize the cultural footprint he has been making on the world for decades, but especially during his eight year papacy. "Promethean presumption" ranks with "dictatorship of relativism" as a defining phrase of our time, but who will notice it or better still, take it to heart? Unfortunately, because modernity fails to recognize what Benedict has known for a long time - that a economic and political decline is prompted by a spiritual decline - we will go on living in a world that ignores the true meaning of freedom, stunting the development of the human person. Essentially, Benedict uses Caritas in Veritate to remind us that man is not God; he didn't create himself and he is not responsible for his own being, his own greatness.

In the four years since the encyclical's promulgation, have we learned from our mistakes or are we still Prometheus, destined to be chained to the mountain?

Question: Amazing thrashcore debut from a Massachusetts band!

Okay, I'll be honest, being from Massachusetts originally myself, seeing that Shadows Fall was from Springfield was the first thing that caught my attention.  However, I picked up their sophomore album OF ONE BLOOD a year ago and was blown away.  This, their 1997 debut, is a fantastic fusion of hardcore, thrash, and death metal, forming a super sort of progressive metal reminiscent of Slayer and early Metallica.
Enter the realm of Jonathan Donais and Matthew Bachand, best new guitar duo.  They can do speed metal, make really heavy crunches (without following the trend of low-tuned guitars), and can play acoustic beautifully.  Jonathan, the lead guitarist, is absolutely fantastic, creating great melodies and harmonies in the solos.  And they can sing pretty well, too!
Philip Labonte, their original vocalist, does a good job with his throaty death metal growl, but he can sing pretty well also.  It was shortly after this album that he got replaced with Brian Fair, who is somewhat better with his vocal range.
Holding up the rhythm section are Paul Romanko on bass (very good) and David Germain on drums (as any GOOD death metal/thrash drummer can do, he does far more than just endless double-bass drum kicks, which though fun, can be monotonous--he gives just the right amounts at just the right times).
Standout songs on this album include "Nurture", "Revel in My Loss", and "Lead Me Home", the latter being a beautiful semi-acoustic instrumental ballad with tranquil synthesized sounds of nature at the intro and outro.  "Eternal" and "Lifeless" are also terrific.
A bit more raw than their later efforts, and with a just-not-quite-as-good vocalist, this album is still nonetheless a terrific debut from a great, original Massachusetts metal band.  And best of all, I'll be seeing them at Ozzfest this summer!

A great read!  Having lived through the Jack Preuss revolution it was interesting to review the how and why of what happened. Among the many changes he and his group made was one that stands out - the office of President of the Missouri Synod was changed from a 'called' position to that of an 'elected' position.

Is history repeating itself now with the election of Matt Harrison?  Let's hope today's historians are taking note.

Question: Garlic is worse than onions for dogs

If I could, I would not even give this book 1 star.... however, in order for my post to be viewed I have to rate it.  I am appalled at this author. Why you ask?  Because this doctor has no idea of what he is writing about.  He wrote in this book many times that it is okay to give dogs Garlic.... Garlic is worse than onions for dogs. Onions as well as Garlic cause dogs to become anemic, and if not treated the animal will die. He also wrote many times that it was okay to give dogs Tea Tree oil....... again not true.  Tea Tree Oil (aka Melaleuca) will also kill a dog.  I got this kindle edition "free"..... If you are new and want to learn more about natural healing for your animals, this book is not a good source to obtain information for your animals. Please when the price goes up do not buy it! If you got it free then do not believe anything that is written in this book.  I would recommend doing your own research and talk to your Vet!

Question: Good wallet (untested RFID)

I haven't been able to test out the actual RFID blocking, but the wallet itself feels like it's good quality. It is a little stiff at first (like most wallets), but it is broken in now and it fits in my backpocket like any other wallet.

The Onkyo TX-NR-626 7.2 channel receiver has been replaced by this years TX-NR636 model, but I got a great deal on the TX-NR626 model and Im very happy with my purchase from Amazon. Based on my most recent Onkyo purchases they still make great quality products.
  My first Onkyo receiver was a TX-8500 and what beautiful receiver it was in its time (1978). The TX-8500 had a very solid chassis and power supply, and the amplifiers were beefy and had incredibly clean power and sound that could overwhelm the speakers of the time and today. And today Onkyo chassis (electronics) technologies and amplifiers  are still beefy with solid relays that you can actually hear click into the next mode.  Ive owned 5 more Onkyos since updating from the old TX-8500 and I still believe in Onkyo as a quality product.
  I was so happy with the TX-NR626 in our family room I updated my ancient TX-SR604 that was in our Master Bedroom, which by the way is a bigger room than our family room, to the TX-NR626. Once again I was most impressed with it after I replaced a very old center channel speaker with a new Polk Audio. Wow, no more muddled dialog that has plagued the master bedroom due to old technology and an ancient middle channel speaker. Once I replaced the center channel speaker I used the Onkyo Audyssey Technology to setup the speakers and no more adjustment was needed. Piece of cake!
  There are some negative reviewers out there that had hardware failures with the TX-NR626 that may be due to heat. The TX-NR626 is not designed to be rack mounted or enclosed into an entertainment center that has less than 4 to 5 inches of space above the TX-NR626 unit. Read the installation instructions! The TX-NR626 relies on convection cooling, cool air goes up through the vents in the bottom and hot air goes up and out through the vents on the top. To properly dissipate the heat there must be a space of 4 to 5 above the unit to properly cool the components. Keep this in mind when installing the unit.
  At this price range its hard to beat the quality of hardware and sound that the TX-NR626 produces and the ease of setup. Im not sure how much easier it could be to setup the product and start listening to CDs, Blu-Rays and whatever input you have including  Bluetooth for your hand held devices.

Question: Great, solid charger for a great price

Works as advertised...feels solid, IS solid. I bought this on Amazon based on other reviews, and I can say that it is exactly what I needed. Charges great, doesn't have the cheap feel of a lot of aftermarket chargers, and is even easier to hold due to the design.

I have been extremely happy with the headphones since purchasing.  Primary use is while walking dog, however, have also run with them and had no problems.  The battery life is longer than I expected, and the fit is great, comfortable and secure, even when performing vigorous exercise.  The sound quality is fine for working out, but certainly is not designed for critical listening.  The loudness is fine when working out, and they can easily overpower a truck driving by.  The wireless connection is good with my phone - only occasionally does it lose a connection, only to reconnect seconds later.  Range is up to 30' around the house, although works best with the phone on my person.

Also note that the first pair I received stopped charging.  I filled out the webform on Plantronics website, and they immediately cross-shipped a replacement pair, no questions asked.  I actually received the new headphones before I had confirmation of the exchange.  This company really stands behind their product.  No problems with the replacement set with 6 months of daily use.  No signs of wear or material reduction in battery life.

The only negative is the color is a little bright, although when wearing the primary colors others will see is black.

Theodora Bruns has created an awe inspiring story about the Phantom of the Opera's childhood. After reading this, I couldn't stop thinking about the next book in the series and wondering where Theodora Bruns would take Erik next. I enjoyed how she created a back story to those small details that only true Phans would catch. Since reading this novel, I have found it is hard to read other works about the Phantom of the Opera because Theodora Bruns leaves nothing out while still filling in the gaps. I recommend reading this book along with the three that are already published. Be warned, there are going to be eight books in the series, so if you fall in love with this one, then you will find yourself guaranteed to read all of them.

Question: Great strap. Feels nice

Great strap. Feels nice. Does not bother my shoulders when I play and stays on the guitar for the most part.

"Conqueror" and "Warlord" are the two collections of Raj Whitehall novels co-authored by S.M. Stirling and David Drake.  It has been written elsewhere that Drake outlined them and Stirling did most of the wordsmithing, but I can't verify that.  I can say that these books are typically fine Stirling forays into military sci-fi.

The premise is that mankind has fallen from the civilization that took him to the stars, but a supercomputer on one colonized planet, Bellevue, has waited thousands of years for the right time and right man, Raj Whitehall, to end the fall and start to reclimb.  The computer somehow inhabits Raj, and provides him with advice and data.  Bellevue is at a tech stage roughly at the level of the American Civil War, its local fauna are dinosaur-like, and cavalry dominates -- except that instead of horses there are half-ton dogs.  The colony has fractured into several warring states, the reunification of which is the task the computer gives to Raj.  Conquering each makes for the basic structure of the series of stories, or military campaigns, and in the background is the growing jealousy/paranoia of Raj's boss, the Emperor, err, the Governor.  It is no secret that Raj is written to evoke Belisarius; the other fallen states of Bellevue are usually referred to as "barbs".  The Civil Government has a small tech advantage in its conflicts, but Raj is always sent into the field with too few men with his annihilation an acceptable outcome.

These books are full of superbly written and plausible campaigns, gripping battles that fill dozens of pages with the realistic details that are a Stirling trademark, and excellent maps to help the reader follow along.  Also typical of Stirling if less welcome are the marching songs and other "flavor" touches that part of his total commitment to whatever world he is creating.

Others have expressed some unease with the character of Raj's wife, Suzette.  I enjoyed the presence of someone who is, well, complicated.  The computer is another matter.  As far as I can remember, it gives Raj only one tech suggestion -- a "splat gun" that is sixteen rifle barrels fastened together and playing a role roughly akin to the Gatling gun.  Where the blurbs suggest that the computer gives Raj access to the history of other, famous military campaigns, it instead shows Raj images of outcomes if he follows certain courses.  These scenes that don't occur except in Raj's mind's eye are well done but got a bit tiresome for me. Nonetheless, the computer is an interesting character that displays a certain amount of "personal" growth as the stories progress.  Personally, I thought the dinosaurs and dogs were more window dressing than anything else, in place to make sure the reader understood this was not earth.  And the history of Bellevue is hinted at but never really developed until the final volume when the Islamic presence is explained.  But the Brigade and Squadron are really just names.

Be forewarned, these books contain a single plot that is slowly played out with multiple, exhausting military campaigns.  It is extremely well done if that is your cup of tea, and should not be missed by those who like quasi-historical military sci-fi.

Dramatic Events is an excellent resource for play directors and teachers of drama.  Actors and playwrights will also find its insights useful.  From easy-to-understand basics of how to read and speak Shakespearean verse to the more obscure requirements of working with masks and choral speaking, it is full of well-researched examples of how to solve the problems of classical texts.  It is especially useful to American actors and directors, who typically do not receive as much training in the technical aspects of Shakespeare and Greek plays as acting students in Britain.  It could be an excellent adjunct text for those teaching or studying advanced Linklaetter voice work.

The characters leap off of the pages and take you with them and that is her technique in all of her books.

I cannot believe how bad this film was. Most of my time was spent hitting the fast forward button hoping there would be something, anything that made it all worth while. There wasn't. I generally love low budget horror flicks which is why I gave this one a try. There wasn't a single scary moment or even much blood? I even watched the making of the movie hoping there would be something that would give me a clue regarding a "plot" or what the movie was even about. We knew who the killer was immediately but never found out why? The making of the movie was actually more enjoyable to watch than the movie. I don't usually review films but if I could save just one person from seeing this, it's worth it. I actually purchased this movie based on a review that I had read. I've learned my lesson, always read all the reviews for a movie you've never heard of. Needless to say, my copy has been recycled.

Question: A Disappointment:  OJ Trial Revisited

While mostly entertaining, I found this book rather contrived.  I didn't enjoy the original OJ trial, and didn't enjoy the rehashing of it in "Illegal Alien" -- complete with a cameo from prosecutor Marcia Clark.  Also, the writing style seemed somewhat immature, for lack of a better description.  (There was an odd overuse of the name "Stephen J. Gould," for example.)
 I found the SF side of the book disappointing as well.  The explanation of Tosok evolution is, scientifically, improbably at best.  As this forms the basis for the entire story (is the reason the Tosoks came to Earth), I found the book to have a very low "believability factor."
 These criticisms aside, I read the book quickly, and enjoyed it overall.  Sawyer had some interesting ideas, especially the blending of genres, and I would be interested to read another crossover book like this one.  (Without any reference--explicit or otherwise--to the OJ Simpson trial, please!)  If you're thinking about buying this book, wait for the paperback edition.

Great movie, love the story and the way it unfolds. Also love the beautiful scenery. Kevin Costner does a great job.

Question: Good product. It does the job well

Good product.  It does the job well.  This two pack has bigger straps and materials than the 4 pack thats sold on Amazon.

Sometimes, the story selection for a trade paperback collection will make sense, and sometimes not.  Either the stories work together, or they don't.  I count on the editors at DC to know the difference in order to provide me with an enjoyable read that is worth my money.  SUPERMAN: THE DAILY PLANET is a case where they didn't quite succeed.  The editor obviously meant well in providing a selection of stories that focus on the staff of the Daily Planet newspaper - primarily Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry ("don't call me chief") White - than on Superman.  I think it's a great idea for a collection, as these characters play a large role in Superman's universe, especially during the 1950s through the late 1970s, when titles like SUPERMAN'S GIRLFRIEND, LOIS LANE, and SUPERMAN'S PAL, JIMMY OLSEN were big sellers.  This is really the ideal period on which the book should focus.  These classic stories are short 8- to 10-pagers, very direct, and are primarily conundrums or mysteries of some type.  While they may be absurd at times, they have an innocence and classic appeal that just can't be found too often in today's comics.  For example, when Perry White has super powers bestowed upon him by "super cigars", or when Jimmy Olsen dresses in drag and becomes a mobster's girlfriend in order to find a stolen jewel, you can't help but roll your eyes and play along.  It's pure camp, but this is one of the elements that makes these stories so appealing.  Unfortunately, DC chooses to follow 14 stories from this worthy period with 3 final selections from fairly recent comics (1998 up to 2006) that have none of this appeal.  In fact, the jump from the classic stories to the modern stories is really jarring, showing how the recent Superman comics have lost much of the wonder of the older comics.  The two types don't work well together, and the differences in plotting, writing, and art styles are a pain to behold.  Consider the abovementioned lighthearted fare, and then abruptly jump ahead 20 years to long-winded, directionless tales, and Lucy Lane considering an abortion.  It's a pairing that doesn't work, and it's a disheartening change that I can certainly do without.

Anyway, the trade reprints stories from ACTION COMICS #211, 429, 436, and 461; SUPERMAN #280; SUPERMAN'S GIRLFRIEND, LOIS LANE #17, 24, 45, and 56; and SUPERMAN'S PAL, JIMMY OLSEN #42, 63, 75, and 124.  It features work from Al Plastino, Wayne Boring, Curt Swan, Elliot S. Maggin, Louise Simonson, and others.  All in all, the book is a good effort from DC at expanding their selection of Superman trades, but they really should choose their representative stories more carefully.

Question: Not a fan a grips? This base is for you!

Love it. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm not a fan of full grips or leather cases so I was excited when I found this hand made wood base.  Fits perfectly on my a6000. I would buy this again if I had too.

Those are so cute! I got them as gifts to go with mini honey jars. They are made out of real wood and are the perfect size!

Question: Good tough little tablet that does the job!

After returning two other tablets (Asus & Lenova), I settled on the Samsung Tab A 8" tablet.  It has a great look and feel and had the features I wanted.  The glass is very tough and resilient, and it's very light and thin. Not having a smart phone and wanting to avoid data charges, I wanted a WiFi Tablet that would let me download apps, watch videos and share pictures and music.  I use my Samsung as a convenient way to watch Netflix videos and the picture quality is very crisp and clear.  Several weeks ago, I was taking a picture and fumbled while holding it.  It flipped out of my hands and over fence hitting the pavement causing the tablet to pop out of it's protective case.  What a Fluke!  It bounced right into a pond at a Water Lilly Park which was in a cement pool.  The tablet was way out of reach and settled down into a bed of slimy moss.  We were sure it was ruined and my heart sank right along with the tablet.  It was after hours and so we could not call park officials for help.  Over two hours later after dinner and before leaving town, I had a bad feeling about leaving it in waters so I bought a rake and we returned to the pond.  By then it was barely visible as green moss had settled over most of my tablet.  We took the rake was finally able to reach and drag it to the edge and up the side of the cement pond.  I put it in a bag of rice and we went home.  Monday at noon, I took it to a friend's shop who decided to help me out.  He fixes cell phone and had the tools to open it though he warned me that it was likely ruined. We hoped to get some level of power to get to the hard drive.  I got a call and was told he was able to get it to power up after cleaning it up.  I was shocked to find that the picture and video was still pretty darned good.  I could see some light water spotting on the screen, particularly on white background.  I was amazed at the quality of the video and the sound still worked the same! You would never guess that it was dragged through moss and against cement by a rake because there was hardly a scratch on the glass screen (just one very light scratch not too noticeable).  Several weeks have passed and it looks pretty good!  I can play games, surf the internet and the camera still works.  I will eventually replace it but still as good function and I use it daily with no big issues. Yes it has one speaker but the sound is fine for most things, and if I want better quality while watching a movie, I just use my small portable Blue Tooth speakers.  This may not be the top rated tablet but I can't afford those pricey tablets and this one serves my needs very well.  I love using my Samsung Tablet and I would buy this again with no hesitation. It's one tough little Tablet!

This large 8.5" x 11" size card made a cute statement. I love the cute 'older' couple sitting in their car on top of Blueberry Hill. The card is made and printed here in the U.S. and the graphics are bright and clear. I have bought other NobleWorks  before and have always been pleased with the quality. My husband  loved this card when I gave it to him for Valentine's Day, we've been married over 35 years so this card was a perfect choice! :)

Question: 4.25 stars--dramatic and encouraging

4.25 stars--RIDE WILD is the third instalment in Laura Kayes contemporary, adult RAVEN RIDERS MC romance series focusing on the men and women of the Raven Riders MC. This is  thirty six year old club member/ widower and father of two Sam Slider Evans, and twenty four year old Cora Campbells story line. RIDE WILD can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Cora was first introduced to the reader in book one RIDE HARD as one of two women, including Coras BFF Haven Randall,  rescued by the Raven Riders from an abusive and dangerous situation.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Cora and Slider) RIDE WILD follows the building relationship between Raven Riders member Sam Slider Evans, and Cora Campbell. Two years earlier Sliders wife died leaving our hero a single father of two young boys, and ultimately Slider began pulling back from the MC lifestyle. Needing a babysitter Slider offers Cora a job but in return gets more than he could have ever imagined. What ensues is the building love and romance between Cora and Slider, and the potential fallout when Cora and the boys become collateral damage in an act of revenge.

Cora Campbell has finally found a home with Slider and his sons, and volunteering at the local animal shelter finds our heroine in the direct line of conflict when she is witness to a serious threat against everything she holds dear. Sam Slider Evans has struggled since the death of his wife but he battles between his heart and his mind knowing the truth is different than what he has only revealed. Cora Campbell is a blessing and a curse as our hero begins to fall in love with the woman who has already captured the hearts of his sons.

The relationship between Cora and Slider begins as a business arrangement when Cora begins sitting for Sliders two sons- five year old Ben and ten year old Sam. Cora falls instantly in love with the two little boys, and hopes the love she feels is welcomed in return. Cora and Sliders romance straddles the line of forbidden love but our heroine is willing to risk her heart for the family she has always wanted. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of sexually graphic, over the top language and text.

Most of the previous story line characters play secondary and supporting roles including Raven Riders president Dare Kenyon and Haven Randall (Ride Hard #1), vice president Maverick Rylan, and interior designer Alexa Harmon (Ride Rough #2), Sliders sons Ben and Sam, as well as Raven Riders MC members-road captain Phoenix, Meat, Bear, Doc and Caine.  Jagger still sits in jail accused on false charges aimed at destroying the Raven Riders MC.  The requisite evil has many faces including several familiar faces to the Riders MC. And if you pay attention we get a little visit from the Hard Ink series.

The world building continues to look at the MC lifestyle but unlike some MC story lines Laura Kayes Raven Riders series is a little tamer; the men a little less threatening, abrasive or antagonistic; and the women not as aggressive or rough. The violence factor is more pervasive than in the previous story lines but the graphic descriptions are more subdued and manageable. I guess what I am trying to say is there is no in your face or over the top dark and gritty sexually abusive or violent MC scenarios.

RIDE WILD is a story of family, friendship, brotherhood and love; of one woman who struggles with memories of the past; and one man who battles between his heart and his head. The premise is dramatic and encouraging; the characters are colourful, energetic and compelling; the romance is captivating and seductive.  RIDE WILD is a wonderful and entertaining addition to Laura Kayes RAVEN RIDERS MC series.

Perhaps because I was expecting something like her In a Dark Wood Wandering, an epic tale that spans decades, I found this hard going at first. What, a historical novel that is scarcely more than the troubled thoughts of one man, and the scribblings of another? But by the time I was finished, I felt that I had experienced something really unique, and I've since gone back to reread it.

The story focuses on two characters: Hadrian, the chief magistrate of Rome, and Claudian, the greatest poet of the age. Of Claudian's life we in fact know little, other than that he hailed from Egypt, had a meteoric career writing panegyrics and invective for the court, and then disappeared from view a few years before his patron at court, Stilicho, was executed by the emperor. For the sake of her story, Haasse assumes that Claudian's origins were humble, that his success was largely due to the help of Hadrian, and that he has lived illegally in Rome for a decade after his fall from court favor. She also postulates that he is fundamentally sympathetic to the pagans, who by this time must practice their rituals in the utmost secrecy, on pain of exile and confiscation of property. When he is implicated in an illegal rite, he appears before the magistrate, and the story is chiefly about what happens between them, and in their thoughts, over the course of a day.

Although this is very much an "interior" sort of book, the sense of historical reality is very strong indeed. As much as I have studied this period, I have never felt such a vivid sense of what it was actually like to be alive then. The religion that defined the state for centuries is now a hole-and-corner affair; Rome is still under the shadow of the Gothic sack that took place a few years earlier; actors who formerly packed the theaters are reduced to playing obscene mimes at private parties. Claudian, living furtively in a tenement, typifies the coming state of classical civilization itself.

There are lapses. One of the remembered characters plays chess, a game that was certainly not invented till two centuries later. The magistrate cites the Theodosian Code -- the law he refers to exists, but the codification didn't come until later. The translation of Claudian's epigram against Hadrian is weak, and doesn't convey the barb that led to Claudian's being forced to apologize to Hadrian; better is "Manlius indulges in sleep both night and day while the sleepless Egyptian steals from gods and men. Peoples of Italy, with all your prayers ask for this: that Manlius keep awake and the Egyptian sleep."

Quibbles aside, this is a short but thought-provoking read.

Question: We've stopped buying linksys

Linksys appears to be riding on their reputation.  During the 1990s, their stuff was top notch and we bought nothing but Linksys.  Then, they were purchased by Cisco, and their quality appears to have nosedived since then.

We had the exact same experience as another poster, with indicator lights remaining on after the plugs were pulled from the corresponding sockets, and within a day, the whole unit died.

We've stopped buying Cisco/Linksys and found Netgear products to be what Linksys used to be: well made at attractive prices.  I'd suggest anyone looking to purchase Linksys products look into Netgear instead.

I really liked these.  Very nice quality.  Please put them on sale again so I can buy more!!!

Question: Great New Series for the Future of Publishing

When I found out that noted author Lee Goldberg had produced another idea that he intended to work on with other great writers, and then that he was offering a limited number of prepublishing ebooks for review, I made contact. What I received was an eARC (?) for the new THE DEAD MAN series debut.

Matthew Cahill, or rather his frozen body, is discovered beneath tons of avalanche--the victim of a snow-skiing tragedy. When the ME starts to do an autopsy, the lumber mill sawyer begins to bleed. This impossibility after three months of burial under a mountain of snow leads to a variety of twists and turns.

Cahill learns to live again, romance again, and even fight again. This adventure story has engaging characters, elements of finely tuned horror stories, and some fun thrown in for good measure. I'm looking forward to future installments to see where Cahill's adventures take him. This for several reasons--not the least of which is the reasonably priced packaging in ebook format (which this gem of a story is available in from Kindle to Nook to every ereader in between). You'll want to get a copy today because the story is fast-paced, enjoyable, and short enough to read in a single afternoon or two. What else can I give this made for electronic age adventure story (and series, I expect) but five reading glasses.

Question: Great Lore Resource for WoW Fans

I am no longer into WoW, but reading through this Visual Guide made me want to play again. WoW has truly built a fascinating visual style and engaging storyline over the years,and this book was a good tour through that legacy. I can also see it being a great reference resource for artists and graphic designers looking to get into fantasy art or game design.

It is exactly what I was looking for. Everything I need in one place

Question: This book gave me a personal connection with Peter

One of this book's subtitles is "Walking with Peter from Galilee to Rome."

It's the perfect description of this book. When I've read about Peter in scripture I usually tend to relate it to myself. Am I acting like Peter or not? What lessons could I learn from his life? I've never stopped to ask myself what Peter himself experienced every step of the way with Jesus. Or to wonder what he learned as he went on "alone" after the Ascension.

Stephen J. Binz turns the spotlight on Peter so that we remember he was a real person, in unimaginable circumstances, traveling and learning from the Son of God, and then carrying on the ministry after Jesus's ascension. I'll certainly never think of Peter the same way now that Stephan Binz's book made him and his journey come alive.

Binz has us step back from the familiar interpretations of the scripture we often know so well that we have forgotten to think about it. He gives us new ways to understand what it meant to the people who wrote it, read it, and, most importantly, lived it.

Weaving together pilgrimage experiences, spiritual reflections, and indepth knowledge of the Bible, Binz made me feel that I really have a personal knowledge, a connection, with Peter the man. He skillfully links this material with what Peter means for Catholics as the first pope and first leader of the Church.

I also especially enjoyed the way Binz would feature actual Holy Land descriptions in his explanations. It made me "feel" the place where these events took place and sometimes that too was important in understanding Peter and his journey.

I've been a long time fan of Stephen Binz's books about lectio divina and bible study, but this one is different. It is far and away my favorite.  "Take up and read," as a mysterious voice told St. Augustine. This is a book that will enrich your life.

This has proven perfect for those long trips. I can plug in my car GPS, phone charger, and other things to my bike. The lead is long enough to go into my saddle bag.

Question: excellent value, some quibbles.

My son relies on a tablet both for art on his computer and a game he plays "OSU".  There isn't anything to compete in the price bracket, and it has great performance qualities.  The only peeve is the pen.  This one takes a AAA battery. Wacom's don't need a battery, and the bigger Huion tablets have a USB rechargeable - which I have and works fine. But this pen has a switch, which has collapsed somewhat inside the shell and it has become very difficult to turn on and off.  The battery is not so convenient either.  I guess there is only so m much to expect when this package costs less than a replacement wacom pen....

I just loved this book, too, and probably will never read another diet book again.  "The Jungle Effect" is really not a diet book - it's the Occam's razor of human dietary habits, the way our ancestors have always eaten for survival.  Working only a block away from Dr. Miller's office, I've been tempted to walk down there to get the book autographed and buy ten more for my family and friends.  I probably won't do that, but I definitely will do my best to promote it to people I know.  I've already started making changes in my husband's and my diet and it's been a joyous, life-enhancing and elegant experience.

By comparing the sort of meals that Americans are used to eating to, say, an African meal, Dr. Miller conveys an eye-opening epiphany.  It should come as no surprise that the fiber content in African meals actually prevents the development of colon cancer.  It's not a big mystery, but we're always looking for complicated schemes and sophisticated medical breakthroughs for answers, when the solution is pretty darn obvious and really pretty simple.

I think that readers will also enjoy the travel diary experience as Dr. Miller wends her way not only through remote highlands in Mexico, but the wilds of Walmart in the Central Valley.  She really wants to help everyone find a solution, regardless of their status or income and to be able to do it with any and all available resources.  What a wonderful book.  What great medicine.

Question: Very good bed sheet set

We used this bed sheet set in the new bedrrom we prepared for my daugther and it fit very well. Moreover the quality is as expected. No regret for this very good item

Christmas gift for me 6yr old. Absolutely the best RC car for beginners.  Articulating wheels, very fast.  It will easily flip over by accident due to it's speed on pavement.  The soft rubber wheels work so well and grip the ground, it makes super sharp turns. I like how long the battery lasts.  First charge, it lasted about 1hr, of continuous play (of course we weren't using it at high speed the whole time).  Has a nice plastic protection on top of car when it first arrives to prevent scratches. I would say it's extremely well made, and had to leave feedback so others can benefit from the same reviews I did.  I did review a lot.  Don't let the size fool you, it's fast.  I had previously bought other brand name "new bright" cars that were poorly made and batteries practically melted at 160 degrees when charging.  So glad we bought this one. Will likely buy another or maybe 2!

Update Day 2.  Crashed the car over 20 times, flipped it over hitting trees outside, dropped it off brick stairs (3 feet).  Crashed it at about 70 % speed into brick walls, and so far so good!  Also this car has a separate OPEN battery storage space under the body.  So, you can purchase another rechargeable battery pack, and plug and play, when you run out of juice on the original.  Good thing it comes with extra cotter pins, we've already lost 2 because of rough play. Will definitely hurt little kids if you drive into their feet at full speed (even hurts at 1/3 speed). My advice, don't use around bare feet.

Question: Top of the line 2 person Hammock at a great price! Free pillow included!

Amazing design. easy to assemble and disassemble. took me all of five minutes to put together. I recommend lubing the bar ends with WD before assembly the first time, everything will slide together like butter. There are no tools required. There are four large 2" hand screws and then the two hooks for the hammock. the best part is that you can remove the hammock fabric itself and machine wash it so mold and mildew is a thing of the past. Easily fits my wife and I and sometimes a dog as well. its very sturdy and easy to get into. I recommend putting your hooks on the third hole down as this seems to be the position most accurate for the hanging hammock. putting it on the top hole will just put you straight to the ground. I've owned three hammocks and this is by far the best and I expect that it will last for at least a decade. Oh it also includes a matching pillow that looks and feels great.

bought these for the nephews for a little fun.. these are well made and a large was truly a large not some half size like you see sometimes. well worth the money if your looking for a confederate hat.. I'm not a re-enactor or anything. just thought it would be fun

Glad I read reviews and spent a little more money, works great with holding vocal mic and still gives flexibility. I mounted mine to top of mic stand. Because I play keys and guitar I needed the flexibility that would allow me to move the mic back so it would reach me while playing guitar and singing.

Loved the read . Great information throughout. Covered many fish types and techniques for each. Covered many areas of fishing. Lots of tidbits for anglers and creative ways to create much needed tools with household items. Really enjoyed it!!!

Question: Hawaii: A Dreamy & Languid Island Of The Heart

"Hawaii" is a film that demonstrates the power of the Internet and social media in its very genesis.  Argentine auteur Marco Berger successfully raised the monies for this movie through a Kickstarter campaign, and those who contributed financially certainly received value for their money.  It is a pastoral sojourn centred around a house in a small town in the Argentine countryside.  The residence with its pool and the lush green lands' surrounding it create an enclosed little world, an island in which two men interact and come to know each other.

From the very first meeting of Eugenio, the intellectual who lives on the property, and Martin, the wayfarer who seeks employment, the chemistry between them is obvious.  It is emphasized by the fact that they discover that they knew each other as boys and were playmates. Director Berger allows the relationship between the two to build slowly at a pace that is nearly glacial, more European in style than North American.  There are periods of silence where the camera slowly reveals the characters expressions and the scenery around them.

Guileless, ever-so-appealing Martin shows all of his emotions in his face, and at times, with his body language.  Much of the time you know just what he is thinking before he says anything.  What he does conceal is revealed through his expressions as being troubling to him.  Eugenio displays not just an attraction to Martin, but a caring for his welfare, as well, that reveals a sweet side to his nature.  One nice thing that is a pleasant contrast to so many movies with gay characters is that it is shown by a visit by kin and by remembrances from the past that Eugenio comes from a happy, loving family.

In a dreamy, languid manner, director Berger, and actors Mateo Chiarino as Martin and Manuel Vignau as Eugenio, allow the story to evolve and for the men to show their growing affection for each other by glances, and by what they don't say as much as they do say. The things they do make sense and are not forced, and the viewer comes to like them and have a desire as to how he wants this tale to progress.  It is refreshing to watch a film that features two good, decent human beings.

This is not a fast-paced film with either metaphorical or literal fireworks: It unfolds deliberately and quietly.  It is a movie to watch in the evening with a glass of Argentine Malbec or Merlot when you are in a pensive mood and would like to see something soothing.  The two actors and the lovely Argentine scenery deliver that.  I do know that if Marco Berger ever turns to Kickstarter again to fund a project, I will definitely donate to him.

The movie on DVD is in Spanish with the option offered of English subtitles.

In addition to this film, the DVD, also, has trailers for the movies: "Cal," "I'm A Porn Star," "Last Match," "Matterhorn" and "Truth."

This film is on my "Great & Good Gay Movies For The 2010's" Amazon Listmania List.

Question: product is good but the battery was dead

I cannot give five star because of the battery. The brand new watch should have a new battery so naturally. It was for my girl friend's birthday and she should have visited fossil store by herself. Anyways she likes the watch.

2nd album from  Austin, Texas band who specialize in terrorized shards of oscillating shoegaze noise-waves. This is the place where anguished, dreamy vocal melodies are buried alive under a blanket of writhing, dissonant feedback tendrils.  Recalls bands like A Place To Bury Strangers, My Bloody Valentine, The Megaphonic Thrift, Ringo Deathstarr, The Stargazer Lilies, Native Lights. This is the sound of celestial beauty overpowered and carefully butchered by the aggressively churning electric turmoil of Bloody Knives.  It may not play well to sensitive ears, but to the strong-willed, I Will Cut Your Heart Out For This offers a truly rapturous descent into Hell.  Carefully Recommended.

Question: Works great, extra long cable is handy

Works great, extra long cable is handy, high quality materials and build.  I actually bought 2 different kinds of antennas to compare quality and effectiveness, and this one -- though mugh more expensive -- is much better quality.  That said, they both work so....

We put the nicer one in the living room where company will see it and the cheaper one in a bedroom.
Althgouh they both technically work, I gave this one an extra star for having better materials, appearance, and a much longer cable allowing you to move it to better locations to pick up more stations.

the other was Uninex Indoor Digital TV Antenna Hi Def HDTV DTV HD UHF VHF w/ Amplifier 30 Mile and we reviewed that as well:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7P0NWK/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

A pointlessly cruel product. You should just buy a regular hammock for a fraction of the price of this one.
