Question: Great way to save on 3 cable box/dvr fees monthly

I've owned on of these since June 2012, use it every day.  Unfortunately it died last week, so I'm looking to get another. I only gave it 4 stars due to the couple minor issues I'll discuss below. Absolutely worth it if you are trying to save on your cable/fios bill.

I use this on my personal PC while I'm working at home, or on a 2nd screen while I game/surf on my main screen. I also have it connected to my Xbox 360 and my kids 3 laptops. The kids haven't made a ton of use of it as they tend to use on demand and you tube more than anything.

As for me, I have absolutely loved this combined with Media Center. I record football and baseball games all the time, occasional movies, and nightly watch ESPN, Baseball, or movies while doing other things. The unit interfaces perfectly with media center and is very simple to operate. I have had it seem to lock up, or my pc stopped seeing it, not sure which, so have had to reboot it to recover from time to time. Not often enough to be bothered or upset  though.

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to watch Cable or Fios, both of which I've used, the hardest part will be getting your provider to give you a properly setup Media card. I've used Verizon and Comcast, and neither pushes their media cards that much, Comcast even requires a technician dispatch to your home to install it. Absolutely silly considering how simple it is to slide a media card in and call in the information to activate. This is great way to not have to pay $10 a month for additional cable boxes, or 20 for a DVR. As long as the TV has an Xbox or PC/laptop with Windows Media Center access, this will provide almost everything you need (it can't do on-demand)

Wanted to find the longest twinkle light strand I could find to decorate my balcony and this did the trick.  You MUST unfold it, lay it out and then roll it back on some type of spool.  This can be VERY tricky thanks to the length.  It took an hour to install the lights but I'm very happy with how they turned out, the color is warm and the twinkle settings are perfect.  I'm very happy with this product.

Minus one star for not boxing it up already on a spool.

Question: Not a very good quality of a material

The back keeps sliding off. Not a very good quality of a material.

Great price and so much easier to find this size here instead of digging through piles of Dickies at the mall. We will be ordering more in different colors!

Question: Very impressive product, Definitely a time saver in the kitchen

Very happy with this Ninja Express Chopper.

I've been using it for meats, fruits, and vegetables and there was nothing it couldn't cut through. Saves me a lot of time in the kitchen. Couldn't be more satisfied with this purchase

I enjoyed this book, TIES THAT BIND by Carolyn Arnold.  The characters were very interesting and well described.  The pacing of the story was good.  I really wanted to get to the next clue coming up to solve the crime. I am looking forward to the next in the series.  I have recommended this book to my friends and family on Facebook.

Question: Every bit as good as Enclave!

Outpost is the second book in the Razorland series and the follow-up to 2011's Enclave.  I enjoyed Enclave tremendously and immediately predicted it'll be one of my best reads of 2013.  Fortunately the sequel--while quite different--was just as riveting. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could--if only because I liked Enclave just a wee bit better, mostly because of it's slightly faster pace throughout--but definitely not enough to deduct a whole point for it. :)

The story begins two months after Deuce and Fade emerged Topside from the dank, dark underground tunnels of the Enclave, into a part of the city now ruled by rival gangs who fight to the death for their lives and territory.  Along with unlikely allies Stalker and Tegan, whom they picked up in the city, the four teens arrive at the walled, protected community of Salvation--built on the now trice settled site of an old war fort near what was once the Canadian border--and attempt to carve out a life Topside.

But adjusting to life in Salvation is anything but easy, especially for Deuce who doesn't particularly care for this new, simpler way of life where physical strength, aptitude, and training count for nothing if you're a woman.  Instead, Deuce is expected to learn to do womanly work in the home, cook, wear dresses and look pretty.  Things that are definitely not in a Huntress's repertoire.  Several of the more god-fearing, bible-thumping citizens of Salvation shun Deuce, claiming she's an abomination whose presence will displease the gods and bring the plague back down upon them!  But who needs plague when the Freaks--now called Muties by the citizens of Salvation--have been getting smarter and are now able to think and plan--even if they still smell of rotting flesh.  Little do they realize that for Salvation to survive, they are going to need a girl like Deuce to save their butts!

Though this story takes place in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world like its predecessor, Outpost takes place completely topside, so there's a whole new world to be discovered, both by the reader as well as by Deuce and her friends, and Aguirre does a spectacular job creating this scary new world.  Character development is amazing as Deuce and Fade continue to learn, grow, and adapt, and as a reader, you come to understand many of the complexities that make up their personalities--these are no one-dimensional characters!  The plot is quick and snappy and I hated when I had to put this book down to actually get other things done!  LOL  But what I hated even more was when I finished and realized that the final book in the trilogy, tentatively named Horde, is not due out until the end of October. :o  So now I have 9 more months to wait before finding out how this amazing story ends!

If you're a fan of dystopian fiction, you must read this series.  Though classified as young adult, it is definitely a book for all ages (okay maybe not young children or pre-teens LOL), but everyone else for sure!

This story is well-written, with an accurate portrayal of the Big Bend area. I liked the main character's decency, and especially his fair treatment of Mexicans. At that time, they had less value than a good burro. Rawles' description of the mines in Terlingua made my blood run cold. I look forward to his next book!

Question: He's in the middle of it and says its amazing, much recommender if you're interested in bioengineering

My dad was DYING for this book! He's in the middle of it and says its amazing, much recommender if you're interested in bioengineering. Great as a product too and excellent seller.

Larger in the waist and about 3" longer in the inseam than I expected. Also, the material is VERY stiff. I didn't wash it to see if that improved, because the size was wrong and it had to be returned.

Bought this for my deuce and a half.  Works great, easy install.  Recomending it to all Military deuce owners.

Awesome set. I love the fact it's keyless, and when you leave, just push a button and it locks automatically. The alarm seems to function fine. Installation was a breeze.

Question: ... a few times thus far but it has been great to use

Have only used this product a few times thus far but it has been great to use. It is easy to use needing no modification and works with my 2.0 great. It has a sticker so you will not have a problem with the infamous Oops message, try another K-cup. This is a lot cheaper to use your own coffee and better fort the environment. Lastly, it is extremely easy to rinse out afterwards and has a straining screen from the bottom and sides for coffee to come out from all sides. Love it.

I have "frozen" lines across my keyboard every few days.  I actually had them send me a new hard drive that I installed myself.  Did not change anything.  In addition, in the middle of working, all goes black and the "ThinkPad" homescreen pops up, I get a message that Windows didnot shut down properly and it restarts.  UGGHHHHHH

Question: Get Some Re-leaf from Over-sized Pins

This is a nice pin-- a little smaller than what I expected (a result of the all too common practice of giving measurements in  the metric system as opposed to good, old-fashioned American inches!). It arrived undamaged in a padded envelope. It has enough sparkle to be noticed, but is not so big as to overwhelm. If you are looking for a "big statement" piece, this isn't for you.

The last bag I received was not completely sealed on the bottom, so by the time I noticed, there was litter strewn around, especially in the closet where I keep the bag.

Question: Affordable, but saturates your paper.

Pros: Certainly convenient for adding watercolor to travel sketching, affordable, easy to refill.

Cons: Difficult to control water flow, saturates your paper instead of your color.

Overall: You get what you pay for. Spend the extra money and opt for the Kuretake brushes.

These do not deliver on the noise cancellation quality promised. They are also very uncomfortable. Have really tried to adjust to them but it isn't happening. I can only tolerate them for an hour or so at a time. Forget sleeping with them on which is kind of critical when flying. I had a set of PXC-250s that were wonderful at noise cancellation and cost less. Wanted to get away from the cord with the Bluetooth and get a microphone which was OK, but got burned on the noise cancellation quality. Sennheiser blew it with these. Expensive junk. Deserves no stars from me.

Question: Cool, but very Fragile

My fiance and I bought four of these because they're so damn cool.  Unfortunately the design, by virtue of what it is, makes it very fragile and top heavy.  The very first time we drank out of them I tipped mine over (by barely grazing it with my hand) and it toppled and shattered across the dinner table.  We laughed and thought, "oh well, one down," but it happened again the very next night.  At this point my fiance just thought I was being clumsy and she made fun of me, only to do the very same thing herself a few days later.  The problem is that the circumference of the bottom is smaller than the top, and when these things have champagne in them they basically topple at the slightest touch or graze.  Oh, and for the record, neither of us has ever broken a champagne glass before (scouts honor).

So basically these things look really cool, but unless you've got the grace of Baryshnikov be prepared to break a few.  We've got one left and we're afraid to touch it.

Read the prequel first Baehrly Beginning (A Goldie Locke and the Were Bears Short Story) always free on Amazon :)

I love Goldie and her crazy menagerie of magical creatures! Goldie takes the fairy tale aspect of the Cindy series twists it and adds some spice. She may look adorable but don't call her cute or you will be in a world of hurt! This spunky sweetheart has brains, beauty and is a martial arts master always fights for whats right. You will definitely love Goldie and all her adventures!

Question: Did what it supposed to.

Got the job done. Took out the screws from my brake rotor.
TIP: to change direction, push the head IN, then twist.

I needed a replacement printer for my vintage Lexmark.  After much research decided on this one.  Works well enough but it's for home use and has way too many features for a novice like myself, things I'll never need or figure out how to use.  Needed a grandchild to show me how to print, scan and copy for basic functions.  As stated, prints are clear and digital pictures are crisp and easy to produce.  One feature I really liked is the driver CD has a storage compartment under the paper tray.  I won't have to go looking for it next time I upgrade my desktop.  Had it for several months and so far so good.  Great value for the price.

I love this book because it deals with the God within and I use it to just understand myself.  It is a great presentation of the way to connect with God.

Breathtaking insights into personal conflicts and familial strain. Not so much a narrative about space exploration as I had expected, but I'm glad I picked up this book. Leaves the reader without resolution, but with purpose and hope.

Question: Cooks drive in enclosure!

Update 12/20/2012:

I removed this drive from it's enclosure, shortly after my initial review, and installed it in a NAS where its been running at 31C 24/7. Obviously, no warranty but better than a, cooked, dead drive.

Shame on Seagate support for suggesting the 69C is acceptable (in the boiler-plate comment follow-up.)

Shame on Seagate for selling such a poorly designed product.

Don't buy this---and if you do, remove it from its case.

---- Initial Review ----

Just got this (3T) and ran an extended self-test; midway through, the SMART airflow attribute showed as failing (55C). I moved it in front of a fan and all is well (38C).

I suggest you remove it from its case (voiding warranty) or return this incredibly badly designed product---the drive cooks in its enclosure.

I enjoy the horizontal and vertical layout of this album and the amount of photos that it holds, but the vertical pockets are very loose and my photos fall out when I turn the pages.

Question: Very useful variety of components & hardware.

Very handy little kit.  I ordered it prior to receiving my sound bar and was unsure of the spacing on the sound bar mounting holes.  This kit came with a very good variety of hardware and extension arms to make it very versatile.  If you can apply just a little bit of ingenuity this gives the option to mount your sound bar in so many ways that you will definitely find a way to make it work securely for your situation.

This is one of the few things I've purchased through Amazon that I ever returned.  It did not do a very good job of holding the wrenches in place, somewhat defeating the purpose of the using the thing.  The sorting idea was well intentioned, but not really that useful.  I find it fairly easily to sort out my wrenches just by looking at them.  I guess it might be useful if you want to store your SAE and metric wrenches together, but I always keep mine separated.  When it comes to the key function of keeping the wrenches neatly stored and not having them sliding all around when I open or close the toolbox drawer, this thing just did not get the job done.

Question: They do the job just fine!

Using the risers is working just fine.  I raised our couch 5" and it really helped.  The only thing is, that I had to order a second set of risers because our couch has 8 legs where I thought there were only 4.

I bought this book as a refresher; I'd been away from this art form for some time...I have to tell all of you crafters---this is the only book you will ever need. It is precise and beautifully illustrated. Directions are easily understood and the book covers embroidery as well as needlepoint stitches. The best feature is that because it is spiral bound it is easy to lay the book down and work on a project while using the book--no flipping pages...Overall...this was a well thought out useful book for all crafters dabbling in the art of stitchery.

Question: This is the best accessory that I've ever purchased for my iPad Air

This is the best accessory that I've ever purchased for my iPad Air!! It allows me to sit in the couch without holding up the iPad & even pass the stand w iPad on it between myself and my husband without fear of it falling. Fantastic product!!!

Its a little big for the screen.  When I tried to put it on, the edges wouldnt lay down in my series 3.  I also purchased a bumper and when I put the bumper on it looked worse.  So I decided to trim the edges so that it would fit on the flat part of the screen because I couldn't get the edges to lay down on the curved part.  Worked like a charm. Fairly easy to apply using the included instructions.  And no air bubbles. So I just took 1 star away because I had to trim the screen protector.  Oh. I didn't realize it would come with 6 protectors!!!!

Question: ... all different brands of tennis shoes but I feel like these would fit me in a 9 1/2

I'm a size 10 with all different brands of tennis shoes but I feel like these would fit me in a 9 1/2. Although the size 10 doesn't fit too big on me. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and with thicker socks this size works.

So far, so good...our older Dyson model finally gave out and we took a risk and tried the Bissell PowerGlide Pet Vacuum.  Of course it has some different features we had to get used to, like how the extension hose goes together...but overall we have been very pleased with this new vacuum.  It fluffs up our older carpets nicely and gets lots of pet hair out of our area rugs.  The only con so far...I'm not a huge fan of the rotating pet hair remover that attaches to the hose, not much rotating power to lift hair off the sofa as we had hoped and kind of flimsy.

phh, what an insult to PC gaming.... the only people who would enjoy something like THIS are hicks out in the sticks of Montana or South Dakota
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE graphics(I know the game was made in the early 90s,, but there were games out then that had better graphics than THIS!), and well, the animals claim that they "cant reach the food" when it's right next to them! and then eventually they break out of their pen and eat your crops, or just wander off till they die...
also, the spray plane is 6 thousand bucks,,, and you can't even land it.... and it keeps saying that your crops need to be sprayed cause of bugs and then when you spray them they get toxicated... yep.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....
like I said, only buy this game if you live in the following states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Alabamba, or West Virginia

It was great!  It was on par with the Animie series I loved so much from Japan. Plus it was here in less than a week.

Question: suspenseful and keeps your attention

Will get the rest of the series of these books after reading the first.  Great author and loved the suspense at the end of the book as to who did it?  Highly recommend

I liked this book and had never heard of this Galveston hurricane before reading it. But the book bogged down in parts, and I almost craved some photographs of either the hurricane damage or even that portrait of Isaac Cline. I loved Larson's other books about the Chicago World's Fair, about Nazi Germany and about Marconi, and would not hesitate to pick up anything he writes. But "Isaac's Storm" just didn't rise to the level of his other books.

Question: Solid roll of tape...once you get the bugs out

I was happy to get this roll of tape at a great price and with very quick delivery. Not only is it a great roll of tape that is very easy to manage and easy to apply but it also came with a free dead bug stuck in between the layers of tape.

On the plus side, it gave me a great idea for a new screenplay about a group of scientists that develop a means of bringing dinosaurs to life using DNA taken from dino blood, which has been preserved inside insects encased in a roll of Uline shipping tape. It's gonna be huge!!!

I am a big fan of this series. This is an apocalypse tale where nuclear warfare got out of hand and a number of people were moved to 'compounds' that are self contained buildings where everybody lives and works. These books focus on a particular job within the compounds, reconnaissance. Recon requires the main characters to venture out into the radiation wasteland known as the fringe to collect intel on the survivors outside the compounds and kill them. Written from the viewpoints of different characters, you can see many aspects of compound/fringe life. The characters are well developed - although you will need to read the first two books to know what is going on. And unlike some other books in this genre, the author actually does her research on the science and principles behind the ideas in the series which makes it very believable.

I am giving this book four stars because it is a great read with a few minor problems. First, if you do not like cliffhangers do not read this series. If you were to combine all the books into one you probably wouldn't be able to guess where one book ends and the next one begins. Second, as some other reviewers have stated, the book is a little repetitive - Constance threatens death, deploy to the fringe, make googly eyes with each other, get shot at, come back and reveal information you shouldn't. Rinse and repeat. Not a huge problem though since the author is good at moving the story along despite the repetition.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in apocalypse stories.

Question: Evolution of the Cell

1.  Telling Time:  In the early history of science, time was problem in making sense of the layered rock formations. They knew that lower rock formations are older than higher rock formations, but, they had no method of determine how old or young these formations were in earth years.  When radioactive dating came on board, then a time frame could be placed on these formations which turned out to be from hundreds of millions of earth years to billions of years old. This finally got rid most of the young earth and made sense of the history of the earth.
2. Forming Life 4.6 to 3.5 billion years ago: Most of the rock formation of this period have been destroyed. Scientists have squeezed information out what little rock formations that they could and it is compelling information.  Life got started during this time in the form of Prokaryote Cells, but before these Cells developed, life must have been between lifeless forms and basic living chemistry.  The RNA World appears to have the best answers for the origin of life during this period. The origin of life had over billion years to get the right and best combination for life to get its start.  This is twice as long of the multi-cellular life forms to evolve into existing forms of today.
3. Origin to Oxygenation 3.5 to 1.0 billion years ago: During this period a Prokaryote Cell evolved the ability to take in carbon dioxide and water along with energy of the Sun produce more cells and more important expelled Oxygen as a waste product first into the oceans and finally into the atmosphere raising the Oxygen level.  There must have been a struggle for the anaerobic cells (Oxygen hating) to continue to exist as the levels increased. But, evolution finds a way to evolve cells to use Oxygen as oxidation respiration called aerobic cells. It is during this period that the road to Animals began to show up in these rock formations. Cells first formed colonies such as the cyanobacteria making stromatolite formations. Then it appears that cells started specialization into very primitive forms of multi-cellular organisms such as sponges. It must have been during this period that genes started to form for specialization of cells.  Again this is the longest period of more than 2.5 billion years to evolve the specialization of cells for the preparation of the next coming period where multi-cellular life exploded on the scene of the history of life.
4. The evolution of multi-cellular vertebrates life for the next 600 million years is insignificant small stuff compared to the evolution of Prokaryote and Eukaryote cell organisms.  The complexity of the development of the embryo and the function of these cells during the life of the organism has not be fully explained yet. If I was an Intelligent Designer or Creationists advocate, which I am not, I would not attack the last 600 million years of evolving vertebrate life forms which has be fully explained, but the evolution of eukaryote and prokaryote cells.  It appears the Intelligent Designers and Creationists are attacking the heavily fortified and strong end of the fort of Evolution. The development of an embryo is absolutely mind boggling in its complexity from cell communications; cell transportation; making and usage of hormones, enzymes, energy and proteins; cell division; just to mention a few. How did this evolve? It would be interesting of find out.  The only thing that makes sense in this evolution of the cell is that it took over 2.5 billion years to do it. Must have been a lot of trial and error processes to get it right.

A few questions:
1. Must the author throw in at least 2 brand names on each page? Is it that important for me to know a character wears  Armani boxers or has an Ikea bed? Product placement does not equal character development.
2. Were the copy editors high? Complete sentences are not standard, and grammatical errors made me gasp throughout the novel.
3. Is this a necessary retelling of the tired story of an Indian girl resisting her fate to indulge in western ways? No, no it's not. I am very intrigued by Indian culture and would love to learn more but this novel was so low-brow and thoughtless, I'll be more skeptical in the future. Just because this book is part of a series doesn't mean it's worth a penny. Don't waste your time.

Question: Stop the world (she wants to get off)

There's a great deal of pleasure involved in watching an author endow their protagonists with increasingly super-human powers.  The fun comes when you get to see who the villain is.  If the first book in the "Molly Moon" series was about Molly coming to terms with who she is, the second is Molly's newfound understanding of her past and her acceptance of it.  None of this is to say that the book isn't as much fun as the first.  Heck, Byng's pulling out all the stops with this one.  There are more freaky twists, surprising villains, and misleading touches in this book than you can shake a fist at.  The sequel in this case can certainly be said to be better than its predecessor.

Molly's bitten off more than she can chew.  When she was contacted by the town's mysterious librarian Lucy Logan for a meeting, she never could have anticipated where such a thing would lead.  At the meeting, Molly learns of the existence of a supremely evil and supremely gifted hypnotist by the name of Primo Cell.  Owner of countless businesses and friend to hundreds of important Hollywood stars, Molly is sent to take Primo down.  Amongst his other crimes, he may be directly involved in the kidnapping of young child star (and former Molly Moon rival) Davinia Nuttel.  Problem is, Primo appears to be Molly's superior in every way.  He's a better hypnotist, he knows how to keep people from being un-hypnotized, AND he knows a trick that Molly's only just learned.... How to stop time itself.  It's going to take a lot of courage and a great deal of ingenuity for Molly, her best friend Rocky, and their dog Petula to keep from becoming Cell's next victims.

Hypnotism takes a turn for the dark in this second part in Byng's ever-popular series.  Now the villains aren't all bumbling and cute like Mr. Nockman in "Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism".  They're cold and unafraid to kill off kids to get their way.  Some truly horrible things are done to hypnotized people here, but nothing so bad that it makes for an inappropriate read.  Byng seems remarkably good at making people threatening without scaring the kid readers.  No mean trick.  The book has a slight problem with tempo, however.  Midway through the story the action begins to grind to a not-so-exciting halt, ending only when Molly and Rocky FINALLY get captured.

If Molly's first book is ruled by the image of cuckoos, this book is ruled by constant references to magpies.  It's anyone's guess what the third book's avian will be (though I have my hopes that it'll be kookaburras).  If you've a kid who was entranced by Molly in her first adventure, have little fear that this second number is a doozy.  It's better than its predecessor and fun to boot.  I do have to wonder what British readers think about a English heroine who has all her fun adventures in America, and who distances herself more and more from the Motherland.  Ah well.  Such concerns are not your own.  This is a great book and a wonderful addition to any library.  It will, at the very least, keep you from boredom.  In fact, you may have difficulty prying it from your childrens' hands.

Perfect Condition. Fast Shipping. Why Pay more?
If you put the picture in Movie mode it looks great.
Otherwise it s very saturated.

Question: Excellent Cat Realaxer

We had to make a long relocation with our 17 year old cat and were concerned not only about her making the trip, (by car) - but how she would react to her new environment/home. Our vet recommended this product - we are grateful that she did. We now use Feliway everyday. Something about it just makes our cat "feel" comfortable and that she never left home. During the trip we also used the spray product and sprayed her carrier each day.

There is no odder to our human senses, but our cat sure smells something that relaxes her.

The product is amazing. It was everything I was looking for. The price is so affordable and it will be great gifts for this holiday

Question: My husband is a Naruto fanatic!

My husband is a Naruto fanatic! If this is his only vice, then I have nothing to do but meet his needs!

Too graphic and sexually explicit. Should be rated R. I threw away my entire collection. I loved the stories but won't waste my mind on trashy content. Ms. George seemed to add more such content as she progressed through the stories. Her first weren't horrible but they become more so as she continued writing.

Question: This witch just wants to be a normal girl,  but her parents have other plans for her.

A great story about a reluctant witch and her journey in to the world of magic and the supernatural.

Tag along and witness physical and psychological abuse by her sadistic parents until a stranger whos unwelcomed intetest in her seems to be her only hope of salvation.

This is a awesome fan. It's so quiet you don't even remember to turn it off. but I fixed that problem because it has a 2hr, 4hr, 8hr button you can hit so you don't have to remember to turn it off. it goes off automatically.  the settings are perfect. the 'white noise' is great and the 'sleep' setting is just exactly the wind you need. we bought two fans to use outside for party but i tested them out inside and now i'm ordering two more.

Question: You have to hang out with Jimmy - you'll love him!!

Such a great series and Jimmy and Lena's story has been my favorite so far.  Lena is such a great character and Jimmy, well Jimmy is the ultimate leading man rocker.  Can't wait for Ben's book.

I really enjoyed Princess Leia's character.  She was as powerful as she was in the original Star Wars and had considerable depth of character.  I want to read more stories with such a powerful complex female leader.

Question: Great addition to our kitchen!

Excellent value for the price.  Instructions were tough to get through (written in English by a non-English speaker) but the install didn't turn out be all that complicated.  Works great.  The only knock I have on it is that the lights (4) inluded on the unit are very low wattage and don't provide much lighting to the surface below the vent.

The good:  The 4K content is limited to YouTube and Amazon Instant, but seeing it reminds me of the 480p -> 1080p difference: wow.

The rest:
Other than the picture, the TV has been somewhat of a disappointment.  Within the first 2 weeks of ownership, I began having issues with Netflix constantly logging you out, and the inability to browse the media off my 4TB USB drive. After numerous attempts at trying to update the firmware ("Update Failed"), I tried to reset the SmartTV settings (basically performing a factory reset), and it bricked the TV.  Getting help was not easy:  first attempt was to create an issue ticket on Samsung's site - nothing came out of this.  Next I tried starting a chat session with Samsung support, and although they were helpful, it did not resolve the issue.  Finally I reached out on Samsung Support's Facebook page and got someone's attention.  Within a week or so, a tech came out and ran a few tests, determined it was a faulty motherboard and had to order it.  2 weeks later the the motherboard was replaced, and the nice tech stayed until we could verify the firmware was updated.  At last, everything works, right?

Nope.  3 weeks later, I start to get the Netflix logout issue, and the USB drive is no longer visible to the TV.  Firmware updates again start to fail.  Should I risk another SmartTV reset?  Sure, why not?  It's still under warranty.  This one went better (no bricked TV!) but still had issues with Netflix and USB drive.  After resetting the SmartTV settings, this does appear to have fixed the problems.  Reading other Samsung forum posts, updating your Network DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS) also helps the Netflix logout issue.

So - if you are having issues, SmartTV resets help.  I am just disappointed that with technology today, where smart phones, consoles, and wifi routers run without issues, that a television needs so much babying and attention.  I'm hoping that someday Samsung will put out a stable firmware and I can just enjoy using the TV instead of constant troubleshooting.

Nice fit.  The pockets are a little odd and small, but I'm not too worried my iPhone will fall out.

When I opened this, I thought they had made a mistake and sent me a non refurb, but it does say on the box that it is a refurb!  I would recommend buying the refurb, because it looks like brand new, and is much cheaper!  The only thing I don't like is the top is indeed made of plastic and not glass as a previous review stated.  I would have given it a 5 star review if it were made of glass.

Question: A great hoodie for any Loki fan

I ordered this hoodie in a larger size originally as the other reviews indicated that it runs small.  But, the larger size was oversized.  I am a woman and it may run small on a man's frame.

This hoodie is great and is really comfortable.  The only real complaint I have is that I am petite and the collar is a little big for my neck.  However, that doesn't stop me from wearing it at all.

Super simple to mount, elegant and simple solution for our game room when we ran out of space for our consoles.

These jerky strips are the best price I have found and my dogs love them! They also don't contain any milk, which is great since my dog is allergic to dairy, which many other jerky's do have dried milk products.

This has to go over your dog's head. It's a good harness and very durable. Unfortunately, my dog fights to have it put over her head every time it's time for a walk. Needless to say, I am ordering a different brand that is suitable for my nervous Nelly.

Question: Doesn't work with an Apple iPad Air

The unit simply does not work with a new Apple iPad Air ! Physically plugs in fine but is not recognized by the iPad Air and inserting an SD card results in "nothing" happening !

Good character development...at times too much detail buried some very provocative and thought-provoking questions. I may have missed the connection in all the detail but I lost the purpose of who/what the early father/son story referenced? There was a profound point to it and yet, it didn't connect for me.

Question: Worked like it is charmed.

This worked for my 2012 Malibu. I would give it five stars but it will only program one remote. It would be perfect if it allowed two remotes.

All said, It is still a lot cheaper that the dealer. They wanted just under $200 for the remote and programming.

Works adequately, however the mouthpiece adapters need to be deeper. Our small Siamese cat needs the smallest adapter, however her nose sticks out far enough that it hits the back of the adapter so it is difficult to keep a good seal while still allowing her to breathe

Question: Great size for larger phones

This case was great in size, I have a iPhone6 with a ginormous otter case! So in that sense I was very happy. It's made well. However, the quality of pics inside this case was not good, they were cloudy, however that was my fault, for inserting the phone with the bulky case. Another downside that I did not read on the reviews, is that the phone would freeze inside this thing! Not only in the water, but everywhere, my phone wouldn't work. The manufacturer has reached out to me and explained that the quality of pic and the freezing has to do with my case being so bulky! Your phones camera needs to be flush with the plastic and maybe no case would help with my frozen phone.

I liked the book, I already knew a bit about the mission family and know a lot more now.  Any Hawaii History buff will benefit from this book.  It is well researched and will add some knowledge to your undersanding of Hawaii.
Pretty easy to understand, not too academic thought it does have a huge bibliography which is useful to other researchers.

Question: Great power... but a permanently dirty blender lid

We purchased this blender to make smoothies and for a while it worked wonderfully. I even bought it for my mother in law. But there are 2 sections in the lid that are incredibly difficult to wash and food gets stuck in them. We don't have a dishwasher, and trying everything that we could... we couldn't get those places clean. You can't possibly clean one of the places that collects dirt because it's a little plastic pocket where the lid secures to the pitcher... it's a serious manufacturing blunder that you absolutely cannot look past if you don't have a dishwasher (even then it still may collect food).

Worked with factory harness perfectly. Has writing on wires so didn't need instructions. Never installed my stereo myself and turned out great.

As a real estate photographer, you will not find a better lens for your full frame Canon DSLR. Minimal geometric distortion for such a wide angle lens is a big plus.

Question: Set in the post-folk-music era in LA amidst the love nests of singers and songwriters who made their homes ...

Set in the post-folk-music era in LA amidst the love nests of singers and songwriters who made their homes in the shady groves of Laurel Canyon, this coming-of-age story chronicles the life of bright and thoughtful, David. His less-than-peachy home life would likely cause an average kid to plummet into a drug addled, less purposeful existence, but this prep school prodigy -- the endearing, mild mannered protagonist with his brilliant, wide-eyed observations -- is able to rise above his phony, unsympathetic, absentee mother and his failure of a father to ultimately persevere, with only a few minor mishaps and hiccups along the way.

The most pleasing aspect of this book is not so much a gripping plot, but the trip back in time to a place that, on paper, is as palpable as a Proustian madeleine. Kukoff's most distinctive talent is his ability to evoke the innocent logic of a child -- as well as the visceral, heart palpitations of a smitten teenager; a perfect correlation to a veritable snapshot of an EKG from a very precise moment in time. From feelings of inadequacy in comparison to his neighborhood baseball buddies to his first broom closet romp with a hottie at the dance, Kukoff uses a voice so convincing that we are compelled to recall our own similar experiences from youth.

Like many stories that take place over a decade or more, it meanders, but this is no muddy Mississippi riverboat float. It's a jaunt down a colorful chasm of ever-changing seasons that reads more like a superbly written memoir than historical fiction (note the author shares a moniker with his main character). Devoid of pedantic plot points, this novel is wrought with accurate historical references (any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental). The title is a gentle homage to long-time Laurel Canyon resident, singer/songwriter, Joni Mitchell, whose album, "Ladies of the Canyon" brought us lyrics about bomber jets turning into butterflies above our nation. Stardust, golden, billion year old carbon. Perhaps more than anything, Children of the Canyon serves as an explanation as to how and why it all went so terribly wrong for the dreamers who only succeeded in lamenting about getting our selves back to the garden.

This is a good replacement screen, and the tools are exactly what you need. However it is not easy to replace the screen, it definitely takes a lot of patience and concentration!
It took my about 4 house to replace it, most of the time I was trying to rub off extra adhesive from the LCD screen. before putting on the new adhesive take off as much of the old one as possible, so that the screen fits better.

Good luck!

Question: Masterpiece of soothing and foreboding

For immediate disclosure of my ignorance, I was drawn to this album because of Nicolas Jaar. Only by the the power of the internet I learned about Dave Harrington. The generous will hopefully see this as a 'yes' moment, when two musicians that inhabit complementary yet distinct circles, through collaboration, have drawn people together. I consume my share of blogs and follow a cluster of sites dedicated to music. Ultimately and, I suspect, inevitably, I fail at grasping the entirety of great talent that exists, regardless of genre. Not that I aspire to connect all the dots. It is impossible. If only I could taste slivers, millions of slivers, of contemporary music, however small. Perhaps then, even if I did not know it all, I would know enough. Yes, I am a dabbler. I like this and that. I am not the guy who follows every musician inside the (for example) Joy Division gravitational pull. But that is not to say that I do not fall deeply in love with a song, an album, or a musician.

Darkside's Psychic is Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington being awesome. Excellent music writers writing for excellent music sites have already said excellent things about this music. High satisfaction. I love Jaar's sense of texture. I love the clarity with which Jaar can convey emotion while playing with a rich texture. Imagine a painter using thick blobs of paint, richly strewn across the canvass, bright blue orange red green yellow, coalescing into one very simple structure. In the 1890's, rural southern France, it might be a church. I am not equating Jaar with Van Gogh. But I see a shared fascination of how the texture and color, enriched, are a source of meaning and clarity. I love it.

But I've been "all about" Jaar. Only because I know Jaar - or at least I have known *of* Jaar before Harrington. But now, given this album, I want to know about Harrington.

Twenty bucks for these is excessive. . It is a set of laminated cards a bit smaller than the dimensions of a deck of playing cards. Includes a plastic case worth a buck maybe. Don't know why they cost so much...they are illustrations not photographs and given the diminutive size don't include much of an illustration or description.

I got them to take to the gym since there is suspension equipment there but no guide on how to use them. I like them, but they are overpriced.

purchased less than a year ago. Heat never correct. no replacement parts available. worthless, except my companion liked the color.

I've been buying these for the last few years for all my vehicles, of which none are Fords. They are the best in our Midwest winters! The rubber boot keeps the snow out of the spring mechanism so they stay in contact with the windshield all winter long. And they are built with the traditional spring mechanism that doesn't fatigue after a month or two like the new style springless design. Definitely worth it! (And in the spring I buy the traditional spring style Motorcraft windshield wipers.)

TheTarantula worked great.  Use was for a prank on a coworker.  Good job Uncle Milton.

My son started Little League this spring and I knew I would freeze during the early portion of the season if I didn't get some sort of weather-proof blanket to wrap up in.  After reading lots of reviews, I decided to spend the extra money on the Mambe blanket and it was so worth it!!  This blanket keeps me cozy warm on windy, damp days (the waterproof layer also keeps out the wind).  Its even big enough to wrap one of my boys up with me.  And on nicer days its perfect for picnics.  We just used it yesterday at the beach!  Super soft to sit on, and stays dry on wet sand or grass.  I love the versatility and it seems durable, too.  I'm thinking of giving some as gifts this Christmas season!

Question: Wrapping sucked product great

Works great was supposed to be for Christmas but came in orginal box not a present now

Maybe the story-mechanic didn't work as well as it should be in theory, and some characters behave in a cliche manner; but the gameplay is totally awesome. Branding the best combat mechanics in a while (except for Graces F), the battles are fast, and fun. The story takes some amazing and unexpected plot-twists and the quest can get very addictive.

If it ain't for some cliche points, a semi-broken narrative (imposing a 2nd walkthrough to actually understand several points) and a disappointing final dungeon and battle; the game is totally worth it.

Question: belt lag and "program" issues

Well, here goes. The treadmill arrived quickly, within a few days.  I dragged the 110lbs into the house and had it put together and running within 30 mins. Yay me,lol. Instructions were very simple to follow and there were no missing pieces. There was one damaged spot of weakened plastic up around one of the handles, but no big deal. My biggest issues with this machine is the weird belt lag and the  "workout programs" option doesn't work.  Everything else on the display does, but when I push the "program" button, nothing.  Back to the belt lag.  I did apply the lubricant and ran the unit on low speed, per the directions.  However, once I get on it, it doesn't run smoothly.  Feels jerky and hesitant.  I'm seriously wondering if like China clothes sizing, ya know, tiny and you have to order like 4 sizes larger, if the weight limit thing is similar, lol. It says limit of 220lbs , but could that really mean 180 or less,haha. So at 210, maybe I'm too heavy for this unit and that causes the lag feeling? I checked the belt tension and lubrication, but seriously, I'm thinking it's the weight thing on a cheap machine.

3-piece bedpspread set was true to the description.  It is big enough to do the corners exactly as pictured in the photograph.  I washed mine, (queen sized), as directed.  The colors stayed true and the quilt looked exactly like it did on arrival.  The pillow shams are large enough to fit two pillows inside which makes them lay nicely.

Question: Not "The Poet," but not the worst either

Compared to "The Poet," which introduced the title character of that book, "The Narrows" feels mechanical. The significance of the title does not even become clear until near to the end of the novel, and then the relationship to the rest of the book is tenuous to say the least.

Connelly's signature hero Harry Bosch meets FBI agent Rachel Wallings, and a new complicated set of events takes off, which includes the substitution of medication for a heart transplant patient, the possible reintegration of Bosch into the LAPD, his struggling and sinking relationship with Eleanor Wish (the mother of his daughter), a heap of bones in the desert, also an oasis there that suffices as a legalized site for brothels, a wannabe gumshoe assistant, etc. etc. Too much, too little, too late. In addition, I found annoying Connelly's habit of referring to the movies, etc., that had been made from his own books.

Still, he is a master mystery writer, and I didn't regret the day I spent hunched over this page-turner. I just didn't find it either as mesmerising or as well constructed as some of his other books.

Lights work very nicely.  Excellent customer service!

Question: Cool to see a lot of positive feedback on my ...

Grew up with this book around, but never made it more than half way.. was hoping there would be a kindle addition. I'll have to wait till the next time I make it to my grandparents.  Cool to see a lot of positive feedback on my great- great grandfathers book. Good insight on how he was as a man.

Malrich and Rachel Schiller are young men living in France, but they were born Algeria.  Their mother was Algerian, but their father was German, and had a secret.  After their parents are brutally murdered, Rachel discovers that his father was a Nazi, an SS Officer who served at Auschwitz and other camps.  Horrified, Rachel sets out to reconcile the father he remembers, hero of Algerian independence and respected member of the Algerian community, with the Nazi monster he once was.

Written in diary format, alternating between voices, this book explores the unsettling consequences of the Holocaust.  But it is more than just a reflection of the past.  It also explores the consequences of Islamic fundamentalism, as well as the repressive governments of the modern Islamic world.  It is this connection of the past with the present that makes this a remarkable book.  It is a reminder that evil is always lurking, waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of people's complacency.  It is also a reminder that we are united in our humanity, and that our differences in race or religion cannot erase that unity.

Unfortunately, the power of this message is diluted by the long, rambling dialog in the diary entries.  These monologues slow the narrative and disrupt the flow of the story.  But otherwise, this is a remarkable book that ties the Holocaust to the contemporary events.

Question: She is an entertaining writer and has some great stories.

This is a very affecting book. I feel the real book started about half-way through, the moment she switched to telling the real story of her childhood. I wanted to know more. I cared about these people. They made my heart ache. I still want to know more. She is an entertaining writer and has some great stories.

A great product for the price. I am using it in my bedroom and it is exactly what I wanted. The color is what I expected (I got white). It feels soft on bare feet and the pile is very thick. Only caveat is that you will want to buy a mat for underneath the rug to keep it from moving. Not a big deal. Also, curious if I should buy another to put at the foot of my bed, but my closet and bedroom door both hit the rug. It is too high profile to allow the doors to open so keep that in mind when thinking about placement. Also, not a big deal but I am glad I checked before buying a second.

Question: DSLR Image Quality in a Smaller Package

I *agonized* over whether to purchase this camera or the Panasonic GF1.  The GF1 has a larger, high-resolution screen and speedier autofocus, especially in low light.  The e-pl's jpegs straight out of the camera are tack-sharp and have spot-on color.  Finally, to make up my mind I bought both cameras so I could test side-by-side.  The biggest revelation hit me when I put the panasonic lens on the olympus body and the huge difference in autofocus speed disappeared.  I'd had no luck getting good results out of the pansonic's raw image files, either.  Better image quality is a top priority for me.  As well, I personally LIKE the olympus menu system, there's an option you can turn on called "super control panel" where you can get to nearly every setting you need in one screen.  Besides that, there are so many customizable options you could play all day.  I also purchased the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL OLYMPUS 17mm pancake lens, and it greatly improves autofocus, gives me great pictures, and makes this feel like a slightly overgrown point-and-shoot.

Now, this is my opinion coming from a mostly point-and-shooter perspective - someone who's looking for a ocmpanion to their dslr and is used the controls and fiddling with raw files might be more happy with the panasonic.  Me, I've got no 2nd thoughts about my choice.

*updated review*
I've been using this camera for a couple of months now and I still love it.  If you're shooting family & friends, you don't often have a lot of time to change settings, and the e-pl1's auto setting handles conditions very well. Its auto depth-of-field adjustment is spectacular (I have a picture of a bumblebee that is amazingly detailed, without distractions of background images).  If you choose to, you can set the camera to shoot jpeg AND raw, so if you have to edit the raw image, it's there, otherwise, you have a very well-produced jpeg.  I'm really glad not to be stuck with the gf1 where I am forced to post-process every single picture to get the quality I see in the e-pl1.  As well, I tried the panasonic 45-200mm OS lens on an e-pl1 recently and it was great.  You have in-camera AND in-lens stabilization!

The pictures are so sharp, pixel-peepers will be very happy, and prints can be huge.

My new kitty loves these! They're an excellent substitute for the furniture!

Question: best service, product and price

I rarely leave a review. But here I had to. I am French an style means a lot to me. This is best purchase I made in years, best price, quality and service. Very stylish!

If you like smart, character driven World War II novels, you will enjoy Beverly Marquarts Finding SafeHaven. Based on actual events, it tells the story of an American GI from Nebraska and a young French woman living under Nazi suppression, who unite to expose the greatest treasure heist in world history. This book will appeal to readers of Anthony Doerrs All the Light we Cannot See and Kristen Hannahs The Nightingale. I highly recommend this novel and look forward to the authors next work.

Question: My dad has had one for years, I is ...

My dad has had one for years, I is more sturdier that this one and the leather is tougher. I haven't actually used it yet so I reserve further comments until later.

Given all the re-do, plastic, unimaginative film we see these days (hey, let's remake the Poseidon adventure and the In Laws?) -- it makes one wonder why these books aren't being perused for a movie.  We have had great sucess recently in the Lord of the Rings, the X-Men and other Marvel comics.  This story should be done as a first-time movie.

These books are fast-paced, way ahead of their time, and like nothing that has ever been done to date.  That's right: Star Trek (all flavors), Babylon 5, Farscape, meet the Lensman series by E.E. Doc Smith.  This epic is on an inter-galactic scale using a means of propulsion never seen before.  The weapons and energies used (sun-beams, black holes, free motion planets, hyper spatial tubes) make everything we've seen look like tinker toys.

The writing was so advanced, you can barely notice the dated view of the sexes (after all, it IS pre-war) but a little modern rewriting will get around it with no effort at all.

So, say you read it before it gets to the screen.  I read these as a 12 year old in the 60's, and I've had a copy of them ever since.  I leant them to a friend.... I am so glad they are back in print.

Enjoy!

Question: These smell so delicious and work like magic

I love these so much and think they really help with repelling mosquitoes. I will admit I paired mine with mosquito repellent lotion but I've also heard that those lotions don't last forever. I would put this band on and some lotion and leave my hotel room at 7 am and return by 9 pm bite free.  One of these citronella inserts lasts for days and it smells amazing.  It smelled so delicious and helped mask the nasty smell of my mosquito lotion.  Even when it supposedly wore out and the package said to switch it out, I would take the old one and keep it in my pocket and then put a new one in the bracelet. I felt a little extra protected that way.

Could have been my imagination but for me I'm typically eaten alive by mosquitoes and I wasn't with these.  I will continue to buy them.

re: a former "gem"...

This book is a wonderful reminder of things gone by for Detroit.  I remember going to Belle Isle as a little girl and remember the professional diving boards at one of the inner lakes (although I don't remember the name). I remember seeing the J.T. Wing slowing rotting away as she was shored up on land.  One Sunday we drove by her and she was just smoldering rubble.  She had been the last commercially working, sailing vessel on the Great Lakes (without auxiliary power). What a sad way to end her life.  Interestingly enough, I married a wonderful man years later who's brother had worked on her.  This book brought back a lot of memories for me.  I was glad to see that the Conservatory allows weddings now.  My husband and I were married in the Orchard Room and were told that we were the very first couple to have done this by Mr. Peterson (if I remember his name correctly) who had been in charge of the horticultural area as well as the Conservatory.  This was back in 1977.

Great gel pens for an even better price! I have been using them for a week and I love the way they feel when coloring.

I'll be honest, I haven't finished this book......I'm not sure I ever will. The book doesn't stick.....ironic, huh? Chip and Dan Heath have managed to write a book about common principals: Simplicity,Unexpectedness,Concreteness,Credibility,Emotions and Stories, aka,

SUCCES.

Wow, revolutionary! These are principals of sales managers,writers, real estate agents, teachers, you name it, the brothers Heath have just managed to apply an acronym to these "DUH!" factors.

This was a tough read, I found myself nodding off mid chapter. There is no new ground broken here, just a rehashing of ideas and strategies that are

commonly applied in everyday life, from the most successful entrepreneur to the soccer mom.

I realize I'm not being fair by reviewing a book I didn't finish reading, but to Chip and Dan I dispense this simple advise. N.T.M.I.S.....Next time, make it stick.

It's very difficult to align the scope with the gun. I spent a few hours on it and I still don't know if the scope is accurate to the shot. Maybe the gun just isn't accurate. I'm not sure. But it does work and it's easy to load and pump and it is fairly accurate when firing from the hip. It feels like it is built well.

Question: The Uncommon Path - a new way for us all

Mick's way of explaining moving form the egoless place, otherwise known as the 'zone', or awakened consciousness, is practical, spiritual wisdom.

This is a great read and one that will help many as we go through the Shift together!

I really want to be able to give this book 5 stars. Really, i do. But i cant.

First, the good: Joe Bageant makes many, many, many good points about why rural whites beliefs and values work against their own best economic and social interests. There is much insight to be gained here, from a progressive standpoint, about the number and kinds of barriers that the left is going to have to overcome to make any inroads into the rural communities that could deeply benefit from more liberal policies.

HOWEVER, there are a few seriously problems with Deer Hunting with Jesus.

Most damning, in my mind, is Bageants tone. His audience is, understandably, urban and suburban Democratic-types. And thats fine.  But Bageant routinely reinforces every poor, white, uneducated, redneck stereotype out there. He calls the people about whom he is writing stupid and dumb, for instance, among many other similarly offensive descriptions. I do not dispute, of course, that the people in Winchester, VA, have lower educational levels than many of those in (sub)urban parts of the US. But i think that many of the folks described in Bageants book would be positively horrified at what he says about them. Where i come from, it is incumbent upon a writer to be respectful of the people about whom ze is writing and to be accountable to the community about which ze is writing. Bageant, i think, fails on both counts.

Second, Deer Hunting with Jesus lacks almost all citations. There are precious few times where Bageant tells the reader where his information comes from. I realize that he is trying to write a non-academic book, and i have no problem with that. But there are ways of citing your sources that don't clutter up the page with footnotes; he should have investigated that. There were many times when i wanted to know where he got his information. Nowhere is this more true than in his chapter on gun violence, where he throws out many statistics that run completely counter to everything that i (think i) know about guns. How is the reader supposed to evaluate Bageants factual claims if we have no idea where he gets his information or if he is totally making something up?

Third, Bageant completely lacks a gender-based analysis of anything. Rural poverty is not a genderless thing; men and women experience it in very different ways. His lack of feminist analysis is especially apparent in his chapter on gun violence (where he  never once mentions the word masculinity, despite the fact that the vast majority of the chapter is on men and guns) and in the chapter on Lynddie England (where he assiduously avoids discussing the intersections of femininity, womanhood, the military, and militarism). Without directly discussing gender  and i am looking for something much deeper than him just mentioning that an individual is a woman or a man  Bageant misses one of the largest and most defining components of the lives of those in his community.

Joe Bageants Deer Hunting with Jesus could have been so much more than it is. It could have been respectful. It could have been a source of traceable facts. It could have been more nuanced in its analysis. Instead, the author falls back on a stereotype-laced, uncited, albeit very easy-to-read writing style. Hence, he robs himself, his readers, and, most importantly, his community of what could have been a much more insightful, incisive, persuasive book. Hopefully, someone will come after Bageant and will put together that book, which we all desperately need.

Question: over all good, but some disapointments

Over all I like it.  But there are a couple of issues that annoy me.  When using the web browser, the page press buttons don't work. You have to touch and drag to scroll. Its a little annoying, but you can get used to it. The bigger annoyance it that the browser doesn't work when you are on 3G. It requires that you be on WiFi to work. The whole reason I sprung for the 3G was so I could still read articles and such when I didn't have access to WiFi! If I had know about that before hand I definitely would have saved my money!

Edit: after using it more I decided that the adaptive light was too sensitive, it would brighten or darken because I turned it slightly in or out of the glow of a table lamp. So I have decided to return it and get the paperwhite instead.

Kendra Ballantyne has never been a very likeable character, but the premise of this series was interesting enough to keep me reading. However, this installment will be my last.

The author claims to be such a dog lover, but I find it hard to believe a dog lover would portray a pet sitter in such an unbecoming light. Kendra is an embarrassment to the profession and every pet owner's worst nightmare. She thinks nothing of pawning off her charges and neglecting her business so she can run around playing amateur sleuth. And I guess we're supposed to be forgiving of this and excuse her because she tells us constantly how bad she feels about doing it. To make matters worse, she gets permission from her pet owners to use a different pet-sitter on occasion and then takes that as carte blanche to do it whenever she feels like chasing criminals or having sex with her boyfriend. The thought of a pet-sitter like Kendra is the reason I won't travel unless my mother is available to watch my dogs.

In this installment she's particularly despicable, none moreso than when she slips out of bed in the middle of the night to take her boyfriend's cell phone to see who he last talked to, calls the number the next day and proceeds to threaten the Department of Justice in order to get the agent to tell her confidential information so she can satisfy her own nosiness. A close second is her using her ex-boyfriend's employee to snoop for her and not only agreeing to have dinner with him, but hiring him as her personal bodyguard while she meets with the DOJ, when she has absolutely no intention of getting back together with him, despite the fact he still wants to, in order to investigate her current boyfriend. She also neglects her law firm and those cases so she can chase shadows and feed wolf puppies. The whole thing was ludicrous.

The author also resorted to what seems to be her favorite trick several times during the book -- evasively letting us know that Kendra had obtained some pertinent information, but not revealing it until some random group of people had been assembled so she could tell them what she'd found out. I find it totally annoying how you're following along with what's going on and then suddenly you're left scratching your head because the main character has decided to stop sharing information for no apparent reason.

Finally, the author's writing style has gone downhill since she started this series. She's very repetitive -- for example, every time she mentions Rachel she tells us that's her pet-sitting assistant and tenant's daughter, or every time she makes a call she mentions she's using her hands-free car phone. The dialogue for many of the characters was inane. The storyline was predictable and the outcome expected.

It seems that the author didn't plan long-term when she started this series and has finally figured out that there's only so much murder a pet-sitter can be involved with before you have to totally suspend belief, so she's branching out for more story topics while trying to hold onto something that no longer works. All it does is make for an annoying and unsatisfying read.

Question: A window into our dysfunctional justice system.

Up the River is Chandra Bozelko's anthology of poems about the process of trial and imprisonment, told through the eyes of all its actors, from clerk to convict. The poems avoids the use of flowery language or a litany of tragedy, instead providing a laconic and moving character study of those involved with the incarceration of an individual. Bozelko's focus on actual human emotions and thoughts makes it a must-read for anyone. Even those without an interest in literature can be charmed by Up The River.

Question: These suckers are bright!

These lights are bright. At 12 volts, they are bright without being excessively warm;  but, when the vehicle is running, voltage runs higher and these get VERY bright and VERY warm. It's not a problem when you are driving down the road because the air movement helps keep them cooler. Sitting in traffic on a summer evening might be an issue.

I used high-temp black silicone to reinforce the wires at the base of the frame. That is recommended.  These will quit functioning if voltage falls to around 10 volts or less.

All that being said , I'm ordering more to install a grid-down 12V perimeter lighting setup on my home. I'm going to install them on my gutters at about 45 degrees.  They should light the perimeter out to 50+ feet while blinding night vision and scopes from further out.

Our Bamboo Duo Stylus + Pen for iPad (CS110K) was received as a gift at Christmas 2012 to go along with our new Kindle Fire HD 8.9.  It appears to be well made and attractive - professional looking, for those who feel the appearance is important.

The relatively small soft tip worked well.  It took my wife a little while to learn NOT to press hard on it; just touching the surface of the touch screen should do the trick.  This should extend the life of the tip, which is replaceable.  For the professional who wants to take notes on paper, the opposite end of the stylus is a fine-tip  ballpoint pen - a nice idea.  If you use one of the "paper" programs, this might not be a feature you want.

Our problem with this stylus - probably the case with many soft-tip styli - is the difficulty in precise targeting errors or changes when typing emails or facebook entries.  We found ourselves usually simply deleting back to the problem area from wherever the stylus triggered the pointer in order to make the correction or insertion.  However, it is MUCH better than we can do with our fingers.

Make sure you keep the touch screen and the tip of the stylus clean to reduce wear on both.

Question: as it was such a great sense of peace and comfort

I've been listening to this Christmas album since it came out in 1990.  It really helped me get through studying for my college finals, as it was such a great sense of peace and comfort!  This album preserves the character of the Christmas classics... it is very inspiring, and fills your space with peace and tranquility during a season of commercial mayhem.  Buy it- it will inspire you while studying, writing out Christmas cards, cleaning, whatever you still need to do before Christmas!!

I have taken several art classes at a local college and I learned WAY more from this book than I did in those classes. James Gurney is very clear and to the point for each topic he covers. Just the visuals alone in this book are awesome! I usually will check out an art book at the library before I commit to buying it. Not here- I could tell right away from flipping through it that it was totally worth it.
Highly recommended for any aspiring artist!

Question: Suprebly Researched Indictment of Standardized Testing

In today's US it is almost impossible to avoid encountering standardized tests--mass-produced, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-bubble, machine-scored  exams of all sorts.  Standardized tests are used to assess the performance  of public schools, in many systems to determine which students will be held  back a grade, to decide who will get into college, and into graduate and  professional school, and who will get certain jobs.
In  "Standardized Minds," Peter Sacks delivers a devastating critique  of the use of such tests.  His indictment includes a wide range of  particulars, only some of which can be summarized here.
First,  standardized tests are not a source of useful information.  A widely used  reading test given to elementary school students can err by as much as  three grade levels in measuring a student's reading level.  The SAT,  required for admission to most colleges, has no use other than to make  predictions, with limited accuracy, of students' freshman year grades.  The  GRE, required for admission to most Ph. D. programs, actually has a negative  correlation with future success as a scholar.
Second, standardized tests  are very biased.  The best known of these biases is that of the SAT against  low-income, minority students.  Sacks shows that this bias extends to other  tests as well.  Another bias identified by Sacks is that standardized tests  are biased in favor of superficial thinking--the ability to rapidly recall  and repeat facts--and against the deeper thinking necessary to solve  complex real-world problems.
Third, and perhaps most harmfully,  standardized tests promote "teaching to the test."  A number of  states have established what Sacks terms "high-stakes  accountability" programs, in which standardized test scores determine  whether students are promoted to the next grade or are allowed to graduate,  and are used to rank the performance of schools.  Sacks documents how such  "high-stakes" programs cause teachers to spend enormous amounts  of time drilling students in preparation for the tests.  Such teaching  practices promote rote memorization and superficial thinking at the expense  of critical thinking skills and genuine understanding--hardly a desireable  educational goal.
It is important to note that Sacks is not merely giving  his personal opinions.  He has studied and mastered a great deal of  research.  At the same time, his book is far more than a dry academic  recital.  Unlike the Dinesh D'Souzas of the world, Sacks knows the proper  usage of anecdotes--to illustrate a generalzation, not as the basis for it.  Of the many illuminating stories he tells, one bears repeating.  St.  John's University's psych department requires students entering the Ph. D.  program to take the GRE, which is useless except to make somewhat accurate  predictions of first-year grades.  Students seeking a masters degree only,  while they take the same first-year courses, are not required to take the  GRE.  However, if these students wish, on completing a masters degree, to  enter the Ph. D. program, they must then take the GRE, even though the only  value of the exam is to "predict" their grades in courses they  have already taken.
Sacks ends the book by noting some optimistic trends,  such as the growing number of colleges and universities which no longer  require applicants to take the SAT.  However, breaking the tyranny of  standardized testing will not be easy--the political pressures for the kind  of superficial "standards" and "accountability" such  tests provide are enormous.  But reading Sacks' book, and freeing your own  mind from the spell cast by standardized test scores, would be a good  start.

I have come to expect high quality products from Cold Steel and boy did they deliver with the Marauder. For the price of this knife you get a huge bang for your buck. The Marauder arrived to me razor sharp and after several months of hard use it has only needed to be honed once. I was very surprised at the cutting power of this knife for its light weight; it easily cut through a tree branch some 4-5 inches in diameter. If you are looking for a good all around fixed blade this will undoubtedly stand up to any task you set before it. I strongly recommend picking this bad boy up and seeing its amazing cutting power for yourself.

Eric Hill's Spot books are wonderful fun. Instead of his usual, gentle storyline here he gives kids lots of animals, colors, numbers and shapes to explore by lifting the many sturdy flaps. His drawing style is so appealing that children can't help but get into it. My 23 month old will often sit and "read" the whole book on her own, carefully lifting each flap and remembering the words out loud. We have several Spot books and they are all favorites.
