Question: Quick, Easy, Insightful Read

In response to Tim Carroll's review - Before you criticize him for that diagram, perhaps you should have read the accompanying text.  Yes, he was losing after the turn, but an Ace, 3 or a King (7 outs) would have given him the hand... Without that King on the turn, that's not possible...

Anyway, I enjoyed this book.  There were some tells that I had been recognizing in my opponents, but unsure how to interpret.  That has changed.  I read this book straight through in one day, and then read it again the day following.  Since then, I have played in my weekly 20-player tourney twice, and won both times.  I was a mortal lock to be a top-5 finisher, but this book has helped me elevate my game substantially.  But remember, the information in this book is not the end-all be-all... you have to put everything in context!

But please, for the sake of my bankroll, do not read this book!

It is a well constructed story, actually quite better that I was prepared to see.  As in most long involved stories from time to time the characters seem to be out of character from their supposed powers and the reader is left wondering, "why can't he do this, if he could do that? a scant difference between the to powers.  This is a problem I thing could in many instances been resolved here and there by a simple explanation from the character to another, or the other to the character, taking a couple of logical sentences from the characters standpoint and being extremely helpful in assisting the reader to avoid the other wise seemingly illogical conundrum.  I found the main character going from all-powerful, more than anyone else in the realm, to an incompetent hacker that has trouble catching rocks because they move too fast.  All that being said I think this is a well though out plot line that carries well from beginning to end, would even enjoyed more character development to help avoid those afore mentioned conundrums.  The ebb and flow of the story went well, was rarely if ever slow or bogged down.  These complaints being stated they are hyper critical instances.  When something is so good that it works,  but still you're uncomfortable with what you've just read (wrong time, wrong place, wrong people, wrong . . . ?)  you, I then become somewhat focused on why and what the problems are that are supplying the dilemma.  And often finding a simple thing that shouldn't bother me at all.  Over all these are well thought out and technically well crafted books.  There are not many writers who can achieve what Mr. Robertson accomplished.  A new fantasy story which doesn't borrow to shamelessly from its predecessors, true originality.  A rare joy if you like fantasy (or just about any fiction for that manner).  As for myself I've been reading fantasy for over 45 years, and have read most if not all of the "greats" in this genre (some of them several times), and  this set approached the greats . . . not sure it's there yet, but so darn close it will be around for a long time.  The critics job is easy.  It's always easy to find fault even when it exists a minor blemishes'.  In fact the minor nature of the blimpish on an other wise perfect display is the exception that proves the perfect.  All said, the last word, buy it read it, you'll enjoy it.  Well crafted dialogue, funny (some of the humor worked better than others), which is also hard as well as well placed narrative to pull some of the story parts together also (although I felt it suffered somewhat from inadequate scene transitions.  But that's just me.  All this criticism is even possible because the book is good enough to suffer it' the bad ones you just say nothing, can't work up the energy to address grossly failed scribblings.  I don't know the age of the author but hope he is young enough to continue to hone his style and the craft.  If he has 20 more years to write I predict that we'll yet see a story (or 2) that rank right up there with the greatest in the field (no small compliment, at least from me).  If I were giving advice (but I'm not am I) but if I was givng advice I'd say, focus focus focus on character development so that we the reader know more about those little things that motivate and empower the characters, help and endanger the character (see Orson Scott Card, maybe even take a workshop from him, I'd love to.  Yes I also am a writer, but not nearly as good as Mr. Robertson he is light years past my meager efforts.  But I do recognize his ability and some of the failings I'm mentioned.  I look forward to the next installment, and the next, and the next next next.

Question: Good fit, not quite as deep yellow as expected.  Satisfied customer.

I was going for a deep yellow look for the fog lights.  These lights, by themselves, are not quite as deep yellow as I expected (although this could be because my expectation was flawed), but it worked out well for me because I supplemented them with yellow tinted film over the lamp lens.  I personally like this look better becauase the lenses look yellow even when the bulbs are not burning.  The lights snapped into place perfectly.  Seem to be of the same quality as the OEM bulbs as far as look and fitment go.  Only been on the car for a few days, so I cannot comment on length of life.  Overall I'm very satisfied.

The build quality (texture, feel, flex, padding, etc.) is not as high end as some of the over the ear headsets in the $200+ range, but the sound quality is very crisp and clear, connects seamlessly to the Xbox One S, and seems to enjoy a good battery life.  It functions very well for teleconferencing / skype / webcasts as expected.

Question: t expected like the add

I  never used only  one  time .i,was,t  expected  like the  add .

~ARC recieved by the author in exchange for my honest review~

What can you say about an author that has been one of your favorites for sometime now. There as never been a book of hers that Ive not liked. Mostly she as stuck to the Sci-fi alien theme, which as so worked for her. Now this ~Three Dimensions~ a contempory/BDSM themed story a new adventure for Celeste, that I think she nailed. If you don't have hands on experience in the lifestyle, write it like you do (smiles).

Story line is smooth and active, long book but well worth the reading. I simply loved Jillian watching her grow was amazing not only with those around her but herself, there was a time or two she tried to walk the curvy road but she found her way back to the road she need to walk. Leo well well, loved is confidence as well as his patience. He took small steps into introducing a newbie into the life style. A firm hand but a loving caress, the BDSM scenes were mild granted but I think well written, mention what is good for some may not be ideal for others, soft/hard limits and safe words. The biggest is how he kept checking on how she was doing.

The air of mystery in both Jillans client and Leos job, situations that cant be talked about and we both know how that can be in a relationship. Meeting Jillians mom brings me to my favorite saying too bad we cant choose our parents. A bit of danger, a damsel in distress, some word fudging and half truths. All makes for a pretty awesome read and Im glad that I was given the chance to read Celestes newest adventure. I recommended whole heartedly. Enjoy

Question: I would recommend/repurchase this without batting an eye. Glad I made a smart decision of buying this!

I got this gorgeous bag delivered couple of days ago and haven't gone anywhere without it- I love it so much! It is very spacious, enough for me to carry 2 notebooks, my hp 14 inch laptop, hp charger, and a 150-pg printout. It is not sleek which is a good thing as laptop case needs to be sturdy and strong to carry heavy weight items. The best thing about the laptop case is its sexy, colorful and convenient shoulder strap with a soft patch that helps you to carry the bag around without your shoulders hurting or getting sore. The geometric pattern is too good too! It has 2 sleeves on either side perfect to store add-on items. I give it 4 stars because I personally find the color slightly differing from the color shade in the picture (probably it's just me!). Anyway I love love love this bag and would highly recommend it to anyone who are looking for a strong, comfortable, beautiful bag within affordable price for their laptops.

There is often heated controversy in the literature as to whether sex addiction actually exists or is simply a social and religious construction that serves to condemn the sexual behaviour of those people who deviate from the conventional. In my view, the rich variety of experiences of people described in this book and elsewhere makes it abundantly clear that there is much suffering out there and it is usefully captured by the term `addiction'. Of course, there are situations where this term is used as a pejorative to condemn someone enjoying consensual and truthful sexual activity that is judged as too spicy but that does not detract from the personal suffering of others.

As the reviews here from therapists and recovering sexual addicts make clear, Alexandra Katehakis' book has proven to be very useful to both groups of people. I can understand why this is, since it is written in a most sympathetic style and contains loads of valuable information. Any couple reading this would surely find much that is helpful, I imagine even if there was no prior history of addiction. The author notes just how distorted the representation of sexual behaviour and particularly female sexual desire in most, if not all, XXX-rated films is.

Alexandra clearly wants the couples who read this to be able to enjoy considerable consensual spice in their sexual lives. Indeed, the use of "raunchy" language is positively encouraged (p. 153) and by implication raunchy sex need be neither addictive nor furtive.  If followed, the advice is almost guaranteed to add excitement and arousal. Even further, she advocates "If you haven't shared all of your sexual desires by now, take this time to stop and reveal yourself to your partner. What have you been afraid to share with him or her?" and (page 190) "Express your carnal desire, what you're seeking, and what you'd like to see or do with your partner, whether it is lovely, lustful, or lascivious."

On page 166, she writes "Engaging in intimate sex, you're  no longer hiding out and fantasizing." It appears that you can still be richly fantasizing but just not hiding it. Indeed, the author rightly notes (p. 203): "Not surprisingly, the most frequent erotic fantasy people report involves a different partner and their fantasies are usually out of the realm of the reality of their sex lives." and goes on to write: "You'll tap into fantasies that include your partner and others you invent together to increase your erotic styles."

However, the book gave me cause for reflection on one particular issue. The author advances an argument for (p. 150) "..... relational sex, not the old pornographic sex of past addictions". Page 198, she states "If your forays into healthy fantasy with your partner has you dissociating or drifting into the euphoric recall of past sexual experiences, consider that this activity might not be right for you."

The issue that I am debating in my head is: where are the boundaries of relational and consensual sex to be set by the couple? Suppose both members want to enjoy pornographic sex. Suppose that they decide that their mutual satisfaction would be enhanced by visiting a swingers' club. Does this intrinsically cross the boundary from spiritual and relational sex, entering the world of pornographic sex? Is it alright to invite others into the bedroom provided this is done only in the imagination and not in reality? To me, what is entirely consensual is fine but I don't know what would be the skilled therapist's answer based on experience. I think that Alexandra could usefully address these issues in a new edition of this excellent book.

Arrives assembled, you just to have to pop it up.. for the money.. its a great crate. My only negative comment is the really poor quality of the plastic bottom tray.

Came in convenient for a short term application, but ultimately stopped using it.
Was more novel than anything..

Works well.  Battery lasts a decent amount of time.  Small buttons (big fingers?) were the only issue I had.

Question: Great adventure and battles but lousy sex

Spoiler ahead:

This sequel to "Napoleon's Pyramid" has great adventure and terrific battle scenes but lousy sex scenes.  In Napoleon's Pyramid he had met the woman of his dreams and she of course was stunning, built, blah blah like everytime the woman is "stunning". in this sequel, he meets another woman and now he is in love with her. What???  The romance parts are absurd but the battles and high adventures parts make up for it.  I enjoyed both books but the sex scenes stop the book like a brick wall. I mean dude if she is the one then you don't just hop on the next one that comes along and if you were being true to the period women were watched like hawks and to fool around with a foreigner so quickly would have been almost a death sentence.  Anyway. Fun read. If he ever gets the romance parts to work, watch out.

Great ideas, lovely designs. The right ratio of text and images. I highly recommend
this book, the best I've bought of the subject.

Question: How'd I live without this?

I can't believe I haven't had one of these before now. Haven't had to use a towel on a motorcycle since I bought this. I love it. I use it on my street bike and dirt bike and it makes the cleaning and detailing process painless.

I enjoyed reading this book, but I was disappointed. The summary made it seem like a psychological thriller and mystery with a touch of romance.  In reality, the book was 50% mystery and 50% sexuality. I'm all for romance, but the long sex scenes detracted from the most interesting aspect of the book. If that were the only negative piece, I'd give it four stars. However, I also felt it was relatively predictable if you're paying enough attention. Worth the read? Sure, if you need to pass time. Just don't expect it to be up there with your favorites.

Came on time. Big knife. Better than I thought it would be.

The creamers arrived perfectly packaged, with an expiration date well into the future to allow for long-term usage of these very handy individual creamers!!  I recommend purchasing from this seller;  other sellers I've experienced via Amazon selling these creamers were not as responsive as this seller and had a short-fuse expiration so I ended up throwing away most of what I ordered. I intend to order this product again from the same seller!!!  Recommend this seller and product highly!

Question: I am more than satisfied. They are very nice quality and look fantastic

I ordered these for my bedroom.  I am more than satisfied.  They are very nice quality and look fantastic.

I have dropped my phone a few times with this case and it protected it each time. It fit without issue and the material feels nice in your hand. I was a little disappointed that the Frosted crystal white version wasn't more white. It's more transparent than it looks in the photos also after a couple months it has yellowed quite a bit. I have also noticed that it's become quite flexible and loose over time which is expected for a $8 phone case.

It was one of the best Stephen king books out there so its only fit he would get the Pop remake of him!

This book is one to make us all think, whether we are "religious", or "agnostics".  I believe it to be inspired from Spiritual sources.  Even though all the messages may not be the same as my beliefs, they are very thought provoking.  A surprise ending.

Question: My Core I3 Cpu Review

I am reviewing the Intel Core i3 4150 processor. It is a dual core processor with hyper-threading which essentially allows the two cores to act how four would in terms of how many threads it can yield. This cpu uses socket lga 1150 and uses the z97 chipset,It supports dual channel ddr3 memory and has smart cache technology, an integrated memory controller, a three year limited warranty, and Intel's Hd 4400 graphics.

Okay,I'll admit I was a little scared getting a dual core even with hyperthreading. Never have I been more wrong, this cpu is absolutely fantastic. I have an amd r7 265 graphics card and when these two get together there isn't a game I can't handle, even crysis and battlefield. The integrated graphics aren't too shabby for games like minecraft and skyrim either. The 3.5 ghz clock is really nice which is why I didn't care about it being locked. The stock fan keeps this cpu quite cool and isn't too noisy.

Conclusion: If you can't afford an I5 or I7 this is your processor.

This edited volume showcases chapters--not terrifically empirical or theoretical novel--by Swedish historians and Jewish Holocaust scholars cannonizing a liberal culturalist take on refugee immigration in Sweden for a presumably liberal and cultural-determinist British and international English-speaking market, including people interested in the post WWII Jewish refugee experience. Let's not beat around the bush: This book is emphatically unhelpful for scholars or political and policy actors interested in learning how a social democracy and a mobilized working class has worked out strategies to deal with international population mobility--an area in which Sweden would have unique and trenchant contributions to global knowledge. We will have to wait for that book to be written in English. The first introductory section, written by Klas Amark on the 1933-45 relationship between Sweden and WWII refugees and by & Holocaust scholar Karin Kvist Geverts, sets the WWII-centric, liberal and cultural determinist agenda; and the second section, covering 1933-1950 especially focuses on how Sweden accommodated Jewish refugees. Generally, Sweden accommodated Jewish refugees with internal supports and covert actions abroad (eg. Wallenberg's), but the authors insist throughout that Sweden could have been more appreciative and celebratory of WWII refugees' cultures.

The subsequent sections, ostensibly on post WWII institutions, actors, and experiences, is remarkably devoid of interest in the evolving strategies and learnings of Swedes who struggled for working class power, social democracy, social citizenship, and the welfare state in the context of aggressive capitalist recruitment of 'white' strikebreakers without industrial skills. Instead, the authors wring our hands over the ways in which Swedes could have been nicer, even though they made tremendous institutional and ubermench efforts both.

However, ultimately, the book settles into the true home of 20th century liberal refugee policy expertise, concluding with Louise London's observations on British WWII refugee policy, and thus ends this volume's struggle to elide the things are have been distinctive and interesting about Sweden.

This volume will be of interest to the market, including academics, whose relatives were refugees, however briefly, post WWII. Probably it will be of interest strictly to the academic market whose relatives were refugees, however briefly, post WWII, in Sweden. I don't know how big that market is. I would at this point ask up-and-coming Swedish historians--or if that field is hopeless, then other Swedish social scientists-- to consider reporting in English on the distinctive contributions of Sweden. Who knows? There could be a market for it in these days of patrimonial capitalism.

Question: It doesn't look quite like the picture

It doesn't look quite like the picture, it looks more silver in the picture but when I received mine it looked tarnished. Not sure if it's suppose to or not?

This dress was very cute, even better than picture, however it is VERY small in the bust area! If you're on the bustier side, I would look elsewhere unless you'd like to burst out of your dress like the hulk. The seller refunded the entire order, though, and I didn't even have to send it back, so that 100% made up for it.

Question: Luminarc -Irish glassware

My son in law is Irish and enjoys beers and beer making. He was pleased with this gift. They came very well packaged. This was a good gift.

I replaced an older APC uninterruptible power supply with this one. I like the power bar design which makes it easy to use. It includes software to shut down your computer if the backup power gets low, and software so that you can choose not to get an alarm if the power goes out in the middle of the night. It has enough backup power to give my tower and monitor over 20 minutes of power if the wall power goes out. One tip; if you have a spare backup outlet, plug your electronic phone in. That way you won't be disconnected if there's a momentary power outage.

Question: Indoor - Outdoor Pet Shower

I have used it to give both my cats baths in the kitchen sink. And have found that the baths went alot faster because I was able to wash and rinse my cats alot faster and they were not as scared of the water because they could not hear it running in the next sink. And I was able to make sure that all the soap was off them better especially on their stomachs. So, I am glad I purchased the pet shower my cats baths will be less stressful for them and me. And the pet shower fit great on my kitchen faucet with no leaks. This was a great purchase for me.

I was provided with a free sample for evaluation.

I really like the look of this watch. It's got a black ceramic link band, black face with swarovski crystals at each hour position and  rotating bezel . The crystals really sparkle.

There is a very small calendar window between the 4 and 5 o'clock position but it is nearly too small to be useful.

This keeps good time. I don't know what the battery life will be like but it will probably last a couple years based on other quartz watches I've had. A jeweler will probably be needed to change the battery when the time comes.

The band is spring-loaded. You pull it open rather than press a button. If you need to adjust the band, you'll probably have to visit a jeweler to remove a link as I did not see any way to adjust the band.

I'm really somewhere between a 3 and 4 with my rating. The watch deserves 5 stars for its attractive design. But the Crown was not easy to use and the calendar window is very small. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and give it an overall rating of 4.

Question: ParaNorman Bowling for Movies Score!!

ParaNorman Bowling for Movies Score: 224.438 of 300

What is Bowling for Movies you might ask - it's a score that I, just your average dude, have come up with to rate and score movies.  I gotta lot time on my hands and I watch movies - many MANY movies.  Using the latest technology and a mixture of pseudo and quasi science, I have developed a formula (which literally has nothing to do with bowling) to capture the pure essence of Hollywood magic... displayed as a score ranging from 0 to 300.  A score of 108 would be a "just ok, not particularly good / bad" movie, where a score of 192 would tell you it was a very good movie.  Now, break 200 and you've got something really special.  Throw too many "gutterballs" will land you under 100 and well - you get the idea. :]

ParaNorman - we own the Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + UltraViolet copy (we like to have our bases covered HA!)

Movie Explanation (no-there is too much, let me sum up):
A basically normal boy in a positively ordinary small town finds himself to be un-normal and the town in a positively unordinary situation... you see Norman can see and speak with the dead.  Yup, that's right he and his shirt size are the same - a medium!  As the town readies for its 300th anniversary Norman begins to be haunted by spooky visions making him the butt of the school's jokes and an easy target for the local bully, Alvin.  Finding keeping to himself to be less complicated, Norman attempts to be a lone wolf but fortunately the other schoolyard reject, Neil (a perpetual glass-half-full kind of guy, and frankly an inspiration to just being nice fanatics everywhere) befriends him and totally accepts Norman's "quirks".  As the story unfolds we learn that Norman isn't the only medium in the family - his "nutty" weird guy uncle has the gift and a dark secret about the local legend of the much celebrated witch's curse.  It seems generations of Norman's family have been keeping the dark magic of the witch at bay.  When his uncle suddenly dies, Norman must pick up the reins and help the town (which has done nothing but ridicule and make fun of him).  Will Norman and his band of misfit friends save the town and remove the curse forever????  Buy or rent this little gem of a flick to find out!

What I loved:
~ What a wonderful blend of artistic expressions - CGI, sure, but also stop motion animation, and get this - they used an emerging technology to make the puppets - 3D printing, how cool is that?  The end product is seamless and beautiful.

~ The script was a throw-back to earlier horror flicks and has some genuinely suspenseful and scary parts (a warning to parents with very young children, this might be a little too scary for little ones - we'd watch it first if Little Movie Dude was younger just to make sure it was ok).

~ The 3D effects were well used and blended into the movie completely - I actually forgot it was in 3D as I was totally immersed into Norman's world.

~ Positive messages abound: from Neil's ever-present positive spin and can do attitude, Norman's willingness to let by-gones-be-by-gones to save his home town, Norman's mother who always is the voice of reason and a grade "A" peacekeeper, and a touching moment with his ghost of a grandmother who offers kind words of encouragement in a moment of fear... wonderful!

Hey, if you have a question about this review, feel free to leave a comment and I will try to answer promptly. I will be leaving more movie reviews with bowling scores so check out my other reviews. Bowling for Movies is in no way affiliated with Amazon nor do I have a website or other business interest - I'm just a dude who watches movies (and dabbles in quasi/pseudo-science) :] Want me to review a movie and score it in an Amazon review - I'd be happy to - if I have it, you'll get it.

Perfect for hot Florida Humidity and Temps. Small works for the wife (womans size usual medium). She loves the SPF 50 factor and that it wicks moisture within a couple minutes. Great Product, more than the usual, but worth it.

Question: Scary, creepy, and way out there. I ...

Scary, creepy, and way out there. I definitely see a Rod Serling influence. Definitely 9 separate stories yet blend together into one story. As I have said of Rod Serling, one seriously freaky mind to come up with this book! Should just shoot pool.

Got as a gift, such a fun idea. But clearly they were trying to capitalize on the idea quickly and didn't spend much time putting the book together. The patterns are super vague and the images don't really look anything like the icons - I know this is cross-stitch but a little more attention to detail could have gone a long way.
Sadly, I wouldn't recommend.

Question: Not for those that love the CS Lewis books.

These books are really not for children as young as 9 or 10.  If you want a longer fantasy book, try Redwall.  It's great and doesn't have all the darkness that Pullman books have.  Also, it bothers me that the new film trailers for The Golden Compass leave you feeling like this book/movie is a follow up to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  Not so.  Pullman didn't even care for CS Lewis and certainly not for Lewis' beliefs.  Personally, I don't want to expose my children to such a dark tale at a preteen age.  They can make their own decision when they are older.  There are so many great fantasy tales out there.  Why read this one when there are better age appropriate ones?  Try M. L'Engle as well.  Amazon has great reference guides to help choose better books.  Good luck!  I have a 10 year old reader sitting behind me as I type this and I would never encourage her to read Pullman books at her age.

I originally got a size 38 and they are too big, and I am a size 8.5. So I got these in a size down and they are much better, but they are too tight to wear with even thin socks or tights. I wear them with no socks and they are comfy enough. I am not in love with them but they are good for work and I get complements so I guess that's okay!

Be cautious about purchasing this product.

The phone and tablet applications shown prominently on the cover of the box are still in 'Real Soon Now' status more than one year after this version arrived on Amazon.

When those apps do finally arrive, they will come at an extra cost: $30 for iPad, $20 for iPhone or Android.

Want to import your recipes from Mastercook?  That's an extra $10.

Want to participate in their Cook'n Club Forum. That will be $90 per year (Membership does allow the download of one online cookbook per month).

This may be a great product, but I didn't keep it long enough to fully explore it. Their lack of performance on features and the additional costs left a bad taste in my mouth).

Question: A great book on public policy analysis.

The centerpiece of this book is one of the best written applications of Theory of Change thinking in public policy analysis. This is a "must have" book for those who teach public policy analysis.

I loved the characters as both were motivated, hardworking, and intelligent. They both didn't care much for society and did what they loved as a "career" instead.

The story is more focused on the romantic emotional development between the couple, rather than the physical development.

Question: well made & looks great

This is a very well made GI. The stitching is excellent and the whole thing is very sturdy but still comfortable. Its slightly flashy but I like that. Also, the carrying bag is a nice extra.. Im 59 and 150 lbs. and thought the fit on the A2 was just right.

I get tons of compliments when I'm out on my mountain bike sporting these shorts.  The fit is great, especially with the velcro adjustments on the side, and for me there are plenty of pockets in the right place for gels and/or bars.  The fabric is light and not bulky.  Great for summer riding,  Just stay away from the manzanita though, as I don't think the fabric is thick enough to withstand an encounter with one of those.  But otherwise a great short.

Question: This isn't for me BUT it would be great if I had a daughter

I received the FREE DIGITAL copy for my review.  I am 42 yr old lady that loves to color.  This isn't for me BUT it would be great if I had a daughter.  It has about 30 pages to color and most have inspirational quotes to make the young lady love who she is..  "Happy Girls are the most beautiful" "believe in yourself" "I am beautiful" "Surprises make life fun" "Be yourself" "I am confident"  and so much more!

If you have a daughter that loves to color please get her this book.  You won't be sorry.  It will help her with self-esteem and such.  I wish I had this when I was in school since some time family forgets to reassure those around them that they are important and loved.

Smart, honest story telling. However mundane the premise of each story (which works to this book's strength) it sucks you in, one by one, until they're all gone.

Question: Works great, but has serious design flaws.

First the good stuff. This charger just helped me through a long overseas trip where outlets were few and far between. My phone, internet hotspot, Ipod were all kept runnning wherever I was. It definitely meets the 7100 mAh rating as I could barely wear it down to less than two lights by the time I got home at night - and that is with it being constantly in use the whole day charging a power hungry Android phone and Wifi hotspot.

So for functionality it is definitely 5 stars.

Now some design flaws which are serious enough to warrant a total score of three stars only in spite of the great functionality -

The super bright, huge LEDs are cute for the first 10 seconds. Then it gets irritating. I really don't need a lantern glowing in my pocket the whole day. I couldn't find a way to turn them off.

The unit is quite large and heavy - far larger and heavier than comparable units some of which are half the size and weight or less.

The corners and edges are sharp. Not sharp like a knife but just a hard enough plastic edge that can hurt or just feel uncomfortable in a pocket.

The built in US charging cables, both input and output, are far too flimsy to last for more thhan a short while. They are also a pain to pry out. The rubber insulation on the end is coming off after a couple of uses just from pulling the cables out. I expect the output cable to break soon, resulting in only two outputs rather than three.

In summary, this is a very effective backup battery but the poor design warrants a look elsewhere until some changes are made.

Based on what I can see, it seems as if the New Trent NT70T 7000mAh External Battery Pack and Charger for iPad (4th gen) with Retina display, the NEW iPad (3rd gen), iPad 2, iPhone 5/4S/4/3Gs/3G, iPod Touch all versions; Samsung Galaxy Note/Nexus/S3/S2/S; HTC Titan, Sensation, ONE S/V/X, EVO Thun... would be a far better option.

This author was recommended to me by a friend, so I thought I would try and escape for awhile.... Well, I got caught up with Diane's characters so fast. I have laughed and cried through these books.. Diane has the knack of drawing you in and I felt like I was participating ... walking down the stairs and feeding the horses, catering the lunches and dinners and writing the books... oh yes, this series of books is more than a trilogy.. The story of Polly and her new life goes on and on. She has new friends and old friends, an old boy friend and a new boy friend ..and the list of characters grow with each book..for Polly just gathers people who need help. I have been amazed how Diane keeps me entertained and looking for more. If I could give this series of books a 20 I would!!!! I promise, there is so much going on at Bellingwood that you never get tired and it leaves you begging for more.. Can't wait for Diane's next book to be released.. Actually, I am going to reread what she has written so that I can savor every word..

These sheets were a big risk for me. I normally wouldn't spend that much on linens. Having received them and put them on my bed, I am going to tell you that I am beyond stoked on the quality. These sheets are worth the money. Even a little afternoon delight in the tropical heat of Maui didn't cause these sheets to be wet or sticky like normal.... Worth every penny.

I really liked the size of the entry way and the depth of the box, but the holes in the top are a little dangerous for smaller cats pads.  My kitten got her pad stuck in one of the holes - she's okay - just wanted to mention it.

FINDING WINNIE: THE TRUE STORY OF THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS BEAR by Lindsay Mattick traces the remarkable life of the bear who inspired the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.

Told as a bedtime story by a mother to her young son Cole, the picture book follows a World War I soldier and his bear cub from Winnipeg Canada to a zoo in London, England. Christopher Robin Milne, son of the famous author, befriends Winnie at the zoo and names his stuffed bear Winnie-the-Pooh. In a wonderful conclusion, we learn that young Cole is the great-great-grandchild of the soldier that befriended the bear cub. The book concludes with an album of incredible primary source documents and photographs tracing the story.

The beautiful watercolor illustrations contribute to the appeal of this charming picture book.

Librarians will find this book to be a wonderful way to introduce a new generation to Winnie-the-Pooh. Consider a display that includes this picture book, the Winnie-the-Pooh chapter books, and related stuff animals. Also, use the book to introduce the idea of primary source documents and how they can help researchers better understand history.

Question: This lot was perfect for the doll that I bought my 8yr old

This lot was perfect for the doll that I bought my 8yr old. Such a neat variety of outfits. She loved it!

As usual the shelf bra is not large enough for my bust, so I had to cut it out. That probably affects the way it fits, as does the fact that my body type is more doughy than athletic. The pattern looks very different on me than on the model--lots of obvious stretching in the bust and at the hip line--but the fabric remains opaque even where it's clearly stretching and the colors are saturated and gorgeous.

The neckline is high enough to completely cover most of my sports bras and the arm holes are very comfortable. The right arm hole can be hard to find, and the straps are wide enough to cover the straps of all my bras, so I kept it to layer under other shirts, both for workouts and just for cleavage/arm-hole coverage. So far all the shirts I've tried over it have slid smoothly and static-free, and because it wicks so well, it doesn't feel like another hot layer even on the hottest days.

Question: Beautiful, bright, fits really well!

This is a wonderful dress, I highly recommend it. I usually wear size 0 or 2, and I was able to adjust this dress to fit me well. Received lots of compliments. Bought another one from Sakkas, same model, different color. The only negative thing was that one side of the dress was noticeably longer than the other (2 inches diff), was able to correct it somewhat by ironing and stretching the shorter side. Yet the colors are so vivid and the cut is beautiful, that I am willing to overlook this defect and give this dress 5 stars :)

Simply a fabulous read: great stories delivered with a jaunty style. The accounts of lion attacks are truly frightening and the chapter on Cape Buffalos surprising. Well-worth your time to take a safe vicarious adventure vacation from the safety of your arm chair (or in my case, Kindle).

Great price for a good HDMI cable. Buy extra to keep a few on hand.

It is weak and watery, providing a slight creamer effect to coffee.  It is truly not sweetened, so much so that I had to add a couple spoonfuls of sugar to the coffee plus a couple of Sweet n Low packets.  You guessed it, I like my coffee creamy white and well sweetened.  Others had mentioned clumping, but I saw very little of that (stirring works you know).  I guess its back to International Delight coffee creamer.

Question: Absolutely Captivating

This is by far the most action packed, romantic, suspenseful,and thrilling book out of The Mortal Instruments series.  It will leave you begging for more!

Anne Garboczi Evans contributes a very well-written, much-needed addition to children's literature!  In this little book laced with compassion, she brings awareness to an important topic in today's world, using language that children can understand and identify with.  "What's a Foster Family?" is not only a sweet story of Alex, his forever parents, and the two foster children that come to live with them, but it is also a tool that can be used by families, counselors, social workers, and teachers alike, to help shed light on the diversity of today's family units and what it means.  Very well done!

If you have a slim body frame, this dress may be ok for you.  My daughter is a teen and at least 5ft tall... it's too short and the material is flimsy.  She cannot wear this as a dress, so she wears it over jeans.  Would not purchase again.

I really enjoyed this wonderful book a lot. What a great read about kids and even if you're not a parent I think you could get it.

I love this Bible so when my young neighbor mentioned he was looking for a good Bible I bought him one like mine.  He says he really likes the explanations and that it is so easy to understand.

One of my favorites.  Please, it is not a true rendition of "Treasure Island," and why should it be?  It is a silly romp with singing, dancing, and wonderful acting by Tim Curry.  If you hate the Muppets, you won't like this movie.  If you loved "Treasure Island" you might like this movie, and if you like the Muppets, this one is totally worth checking out!  Don't take yourself too seriously and enjoy the ride.

First off, I can't believe I found one, never mind getting it for $30! Score! I attached it to my Playseat Evolution sim racing rig and it's great. Between having the force feedback from my T300, I can also feel what the tires and suspension are doing thanks to the Buttkicker. It really enhances racing on my PS4 with Project CARS, Assetto Corsa, DiRT Rally (incredible when you hit/land a jump!) and F1 2016. I plugged it into my TV's headphone jack since I use headphones when playing online or 5.1 surround sound through my AV receiver when playing offline. ***Just remember to turn up your TV volume so it sends a signal to the Gamer 2. I had the TV sound turned down because of using headphones/5.1, so at first I couldn't figure out why the Buttkicker wasn't working...duh!

The audiobook description is absolutely right: it is the hottest audiobook I ever heard! Really great! Check also:Sex with 2 Women - Erotic Varieties for a Man

This headunit worked flawlessly for the first couple of months after the installation, and it did everything the way it should. After about 4 months or so after the installation, the headunit began to freeze constantly and the touchscreen became unresponsive. I contacted the support team, and they promptly sent me a file to install on the headunit to wipe its data and to clear any faults, that didn't work. Fast forward a couple of months to present day, I recently got in my car and noticed that the headunit doesnt even boot up anymore, its completly dead. I am very disappointed in how this headunit turned out, because I had very high expectations for this unit, just for it to malfunction only months after the installation, and ultimately for it to die so soon.

Question: Camera is ok, but software is not.

The camera is fine, but the proprietary software that came with it has problems. On Windows 10 it launches automatically and I can't even close it without doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del to open task manager and force shutdown. And, it doesn't seem to work with any other software and there is virtually no documentation. It would be much better if the camera's interface were more standardized to work with other common streaming video software for web cams.

Doesn't fit a 2000 civic, even though it says it does, looks cheaply made and feels awful. Save your money and buy a real shift knob from momo or another reputable company.

Question: Awesome Halloween decoration!

I really enjoyed hanging this outside my front door.

As I read the opening chapter of The Wrath of Zar, I had my doubts that I would find this story intriguing, but as soon as Chapter 2 started, I was hooked in a big way.  You can't just dive in to even the best of fantasy.  Not only do you have to get acquainted with unusual characters with strange names and pick up on whatever back-story there is behind the events you are reading about, your mind's eye has to paint an internal canvas of the entire world created by the imagination of the author.  Fantasy is a most challenging genre indeed, but this debut novel from Shayne Easson reads as if it were crafted by an experienced hand.  With all kinds of action on an increasingly epic scale, critical subplots interweaving in the most judicious of manners, and episodes of deeply personal interactions among key characters, The Wrath of Zar makes for a downright fantastic read.  This is the first book in a series called The Demons of Destiny, and I for one can't wait for Book Two, especially after being taken aback by this first novel's shocking, last-minute revelation.

The world of Yannina stands in peril as evil forces long dismissed by many as mere myths reawaken and seek to establish a demonic hegemony over all.  With the black dragon Zar and all manner of demons at their disposal, these forces of darkness leave a wide swatch of death and destruction in their wake - starting in the peaceful village of Ruhln.  It is the night of Ruhln Fest, and young Adan Caynne could hardly be happier - as long as he's with his beloved Maureen.  Battle is the last thing on his mind when he meets heavily armed strangers looking for his father, but he begins to grow up in a hurry once he and Maureen stumble upon her grievously injured grandfather.  Before he knows what is happening, war breaks out all around him.  Unlike his twin brother Aren, who trained and competed in the ways of a warrior, Adan would not seem to have the makeup of a hero, but the events of this night change everything.  Even before learning that his father was one of the renowned Warriors of Ches, Adan begins trying to fill his shoes, setting out - accompanied by Maureen's brother Myron - to rescue his younger brother, whom he strongly believes has been kidnapped by demons.

Fate brings Adan and Myron together with other displaced heroes, including Prince Riordan of Corrona, Princess Karyna of Wyndhaven, a young dragon named Zadryan, and a suspicious Andar apprentice who suggests that the fate of the entire realm rests upon the uneasy shoulders of young Adan.  The manner in which Easson interweaves these characters' individual stories into the whole is most skillfully done.  The fantasy fan will find no shortage of action, either.  Even as Adan and Myron set out in search of Adan's brother Dex, they are closely pursued by a mysterious man in black; the numerous skirmishes and fights that take place along the way are thrilling indeed (mainly because you care so much about each of the characters); and the spectre of treachery and betrayal raises its ugly head at the worst possible times.  Amazingly enough, one gets the sense that the best is yet to come (in subsequent books in the series).  The grim specter of the dark dragon Zar hangs over all, but we only see this gigantic fiend in action on one occasion, and I have to believe the evil Dryden warriors have hardly begun to fight as of yet.

Obviously, I consider Shayne Easson's The Wrath of Zar to be a most impressive fantasy debut.  I sometimes have trouble identifying with certain characters in fantasy just because of their (and their worlds') exotic natures, but I basically lived and died with the heroes of this story.  The fact that the narrative takes a number of unpredictable turns along the way makes the book even harder to put down, and the bombshell revealed on the very last page has me awaiting the second book in the series with bated breath.  If Easson's future novels are anywhere near as impressive as this one, the fantasy genre has a new star on its hands.

This is a great book. I love the first three movies, and enjoyed reading about them. I have never liked the 4th one, so that little section did not interest me that much. I hated the 4th movie so much, I have only seen it once (In theaters in 2008) and have no interest in ever seeing it again.

Question: Works great, easy to apply

I should've gotten this a long time ago, to replace my original screen protector. I had that one forever and it was super grungy. Anyhoo, this, plus a new case, and my iPhone 4 looks almost new. Bought me a little more time before I break down and buy a new phone. (I'm super frugal!) This protector is very sensitive, which I like, except when talking on the phone and my cheek hits buttons if I haven't hidden the screen.

2.5 STARS - This is an e-book that I've had on my Kindle for over two years and finally cracked it open while I was on vacation in Croatia last month.

The book is a familial saga set in the heart of an Italian family in early 1900's New York City, loosely based on the author's own family. At the time, NYC was experiencing an influx of immigrants and the prejudice against Italian immigrants was blatant as was the power and terror that the Black Hand held over its countrymen. These tidbits of history are woven into the plot throughout the book but, at times, it felt like the plot came second to her opportunity to add in a unique historical setting, for example, an impromptu trip to Coney Island.

Fabiano uses multiple timelines to tell her story but it often came off as awkward and distracting as the plot jumped back and forth. I also didn't enjoy being told about a major plot point early in the book which made for a lackluster second half of the book since I knew how things would pan out.

The subject and era was interesting but for a book with such high ratings I found the writing to be clunky and mediocre at best with the letters that Giovanna received from the Black Hand coming off as silly and juvenile (and hard to read on my Kindle).  For a story that is loosely based on her own family, Fabiano's storytelling felt detached and many of her characters' actions felt improbable. Add in that there was too much 'telling, not enough showing' in regards to the plot and writing style and you can see why this book didn't live up to my expectations.

There was potential for a great, sweeping saga of a read but I don't think that Fabiano's writing was up to the task. Overall, a light read set in an interesting era but there are other books with similar plots that do a better job of showcasing the subject and early 20th century New York immigrant experience.

Fascinating behind-the-scenes read of the 70's rock scene and the progression of those artists through today.  I wanted to read more!

Finally, someone gets it right, every full color photo page is exactly that, full page, no interruptions.  There's a 6 page introduction and a 5 page short descriptive paragraph regarding each page.  Meanwhile, the book shines with it excellent mix of close up photos of exterior shots, interior and some detail photos such as stained glass and one of a chair in a room.  Man, if this book was large, whew doggy, it'd be what I've been looking for all along while I've been building my big FLW photo book collection with inexpensive purchases.  I can't find one of the large books where main content, like this book, say 4/5's of the pages, are dedicated to color photos that take up the entire page and 17 are 2 full faceing pages of one big photo mostly interior shots.  That is the way to go with this subject.  Let it shine.  This is a total 5 star masterpiece if it's twice the size.  As it is, it's well worth owning for the high quality photos and how they completely take over the pages.  It's a shame the binding prevents a full flattening of the photos, a minor complaint.  I'm glad I own it.  chrisbct@hotmail.com

Question: What Would Jesus Do In Today's World of, Say, San Francisco...

No matter what your background is, where you live, or whether you are religious or not, most people are fully aware that predictions about the end times have been around for as long as any of us have lived...and before that. Some call it the Apocalypse. The basic question is whether or not the world we live in will be destroyed, disappear... You may have read at least one or more books about it and certainly have gone through the period of those times when predictions have occurred, the last, I think, was 2012.

And, of course, we are still here... Still, there seems to be a need, a burning desire, even, to know what the future holds for humans... I've enjoyed a number of novels on the topic, but this one, I think, is my favorite so far...and, perhaps, the most realistic??? The setting in San Francisco, well, it seemed like right from today's news...is it?

This book would be considered to be written based upon the Christian Bible. A main character is a journalist, an atheist who was known for routine articles questioning or sarcastic toward Christianity, and also the son of an Episcopal Priest, so he was early versed in that book. But once he became involved in what happens, he took the time to study all of the world's religions and their "main characters."

Another main character is also a priest of the Episcopal Church, When they first met, she asked him to call her Beth...and then began to interview him, which he thought was quite funny since he was the journalist who was supposed to be doing the interview.

After they had determined that he would be involved, Beth began her story. Basically, any Christian reader will see an immediate parallel to the early life of Jesus. I'm not going to spend much time on that, except to say that, a baby boy was left at the door of Beth's church and when she had picked him up, three boys who looked like gang members said the baby was to be hers. Beth named him Manuel.

From the time he was brought to the first service, people from all races, the homeless and the rich, began to come...sitting by him first and moving outward...

All of the miracles of Jesus: turning water into wine, healing...and more began before he was even 10. By that time, A man named Eli had met Manuel and explain to Beth that he had been waiting to meet him. All of those involved with the child had been dreaming of what was to come... Eli was much more capable of teaching Manuel, especially when they realized that he was begin to paint... Eli, also a painter, taught him everything and more... and it wasn't until he was killed that Manuel began to change... Manuel's choice of artistry had been using spray cans...and much of his work soon appeared on the walls in the mission area, but they soon became much darker, threatening of hell's fire, after Eli was killed.

In the materialistic world of today where name brands such as Calvin Klein are "must-wear" for young people, together with the latest electronic equipment,  where gods of music and social media seem to rule, etc., it was to the poor--those diseased by drink and drugs or starving--who were those ministered by Manuel. It was when he wanted to minister directly on the street that it happened...
.
Suddenly, Manuel had The Man's--Arius, in this novel--attention... and his followers began to be killed, one by one...

There was only one issue that bothered me somewhat in this book and it is near the end.  But, the overall issue that came across was that Manuel was attacking a world that belonged to someone else. He had left his home and came to invade a world that was being handled quite well and totally responsive to Arius wishes. If you read it, I'll give you my opinion on this scene,if asked

I'm going to say this is almost a thriller, at least it comes across that way because of the later activities. Are you willing to see today's world welcome the end of the world??? Not an easy book to read if you believe...if not, enjoy a well-written thriller with San Francisco's mission area as the setting...

One of the significant differences between science fiction and realist fiction is the sense that the possibilities of sf are so much grander.  Genre writers taking advantage of the four dimensions as a playground for fiction in a variety of ways, from the temporal extents of Olaf Stapledons works to the microworlds of Madeline DEngle, no sub-genre, however, may utilize the possibilities more than space opera.  Arguably the core of science fiction, its been in existence almost since the beginning, and there are no signs of its disappearance anytime soon.  Carrying the torch in the 21 st century is Ian Whates Pelquins Comet (2015, NewCon Press).

Knowing that a major stash of alien artifacts lies unclaimed, Pelquin, Captain of the freebooter Pelquins Comet, heads to the major financial center of New Sparta to find a sponsor in order to make a run at the loot.  An Elder artifact in hand, he succeeds in convincing one of the credit officers to extend a line of cash his way, but not without a compromise.  Forced to take on a representative of the bank (the mysterious alien toting Drake), Pelquin reluctantly agrees to the terms and sets his small crew to gearing up the ship for the trip.  Exiting New Sparta, however, a surprise attack occurs.  With projectiles flying the Comet gets off the ground, but not without its chief mechanic Monkey getting badly injured.  And hes needed.  The jump into RzSpace going smoothly, once inside the other dimension, however, a problem occurs with the motors, an emergency landing needed.  Babylon the closest planet, its there the Comet heads and the Captains plans for an easy loot grab really start to spiral out of control.

Pelquins Comet has something of a George Lucas feel to it.  Not necessarily the galactic sweep of Star Wars, more like the Adventures of Han Solo, its the story of one mans plan to cash in big on alien artifacts, his likeable crew, an enigmatic bank man, and the bad guys who want the profits for themselvesintrigue, space ships, and planetary adventure flying all around them.  The Captain quick on his head-feet and equally quick with his gun, he makes a good parallel to Han Solo, and with bad luck plaguing his ships mechanical state, Pelquins Comet occupies a role similar to the Millenium Falcon.  Trader and sometimes smuggler, he and the crew find themselves caught up in drama theyd rather not getting to the bottom of who attacked them on New Sparta, and just why the bank needed Drake aboard.  The dark-eyed Valyn de Souza forever lurking in the shadows, the series opens in exciting style.

Whates does a good job playing out the lines of suspense while steadily revealing significant plot points, keeping things character-focused, and mixing in bits of action to propel the narrative as a whole.  From the attack to the subsequent adventures of Pelquin, the exotic planets to the exciting climax, the book scratches that rainy day space opera itch.

With the freetraders of Anre Nortons Solar Queen series and George Lucas Star Wars applauding on the wings, Pelquins Comet wears its genre affiliation proudly on its sleeve.  Light entertainment, its a fast, fun read that will appeal to fans of either Norton or Lucas, as well as Peter Hamilton, Eric Brown, Keith  Brooke, Brian Stableford, John Brunner, and the other British writers who have dipped their pens into the well of space operaperhaps the vastest science fiction has to offer.

Question: Protection & Good Looks

Lots of pockets to organize everything.  Even enough space for a checkbook.

Five INFORMATIVE Stars!!
This is another very colorful and well-done book with small font size by photographic expert Chris Weston, which gives 500 "hints, tips, and techniques" concerning Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera usage, ancillary equipment, and unique photographic techniques for both the amateur and the expert photographer. All of which is packaged in a sturdy-looking, small workbook-like paperback format. It also has over 400 stunning photographs in 2 photo-galleries and throughout the book, providing many examples and ideas about what constitutes a good picture and how each was "framed" by the photographer.

And there is a ton of information contained within the 500 tips, many of which may make you say, 'why didn't I think of that?' Some tips are very brief but excellent, for example:
>>(Tip number) "028": (Title): "Review only what you need to." (Tip): "Set the camera so that the auto-image playback is switched off. This will help conserve the batteries."<<
A very brief bit of advice that may help you have sufficient power ready when it is needed for a great shot. Some of those automatic camera features do silently burn up battery power. He makes the point over and over about getting the "settings" right before shooting. He also gives several "recommended camera settings" for different shooting situations: a big plus for amateurs and semi-professionals.

An overview of some of the subjects covered: camera setup; image quality; RAW versus JPEG and TIFF file formats (and the big advantage and disadvantage of JPEG: pay close attention to these two separate tips because these are your actual images which affect resolution and printing quality); file compression; pixels and resolution; noise reduction; an FLMF (focal length magnification factor) chart; batteries; storage media; indoor and outdoor flash photography; white balance (WB); depth of field; ISO; histograms; techniques for different types of subject matter; "Top 10 tips for choosing lenses"; printing and printers; television display usage; and so on. He does not get into commercial brands of equipment beyond FLMF, although some are shown for example only. Just follow instructions carefully and have your camera technical manual handy for reference. DSLR users may find themselves tabbing, highlighting, and marking up this book as you work your way through it. It's printed with small font size on very colorful and durable-looking glossy paper. Happy Shooting! Five PHOTOGENIC Stars.

(Paperback with very colorful, glossy pages; 8" x 9" small workbook-size format; 128 pages.)

Question: Beautiful, magical background music!

Lots of beautiful background music! I use this for princess parties for my business. The music is magical sounding and is pleasant to listen to. There are even a series of waltzes that are good for a party as well. There are only a couple of songs that actually have words: bibbiti bobbity boo and a dream is a wish your heart makes (two versions), but there are also instrumentals of all three, and that's why I purchased the album. Great work Disney!

I decided to switch over to a more environmentally friendly dog waste bag, and found the biodegradable bags on Amazon. LOVE the product!! bags are sturdy (I have a medium/large dog) and the value is great. so much cheaper than buying through pet store, even compared to the non-biodegradable bags. Several friends of mine have started using them and love them as well!

Question: Everyone needs one of these in every car

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/D1wjYjt1wkS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71EPCxs6F5S.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> This is one of those products that every vehicle needs to have inside. It comes in handy for emergencies or even if you need a portable battery. I used to work in lawn care and this would have been very useful to have in many situations where I did not have access to get a mower jump started. There have been times where the cigarette adapter went out on me and I had no way to charge my phone.

What I like:
- Long jumper cables
- Rugged
- Light
- Two ports for usb

What I don't like:
- No carrying case

This is my second Ronco Dehydrator. I had one for years & love it; but sadly it was part of a bad batch (didn't find out until afterwards) and disintegrated. My mother-in-law got me a new dehydrator for Christmas 3 yrs ago (not a Ronco), and it really didn't last a full season. It works when it wants to & will shut itself off.
So I decided to get myself a present, a new RONCO!  I am now a happy girl again!  I can also borrow extra trays from my mom; who's had her Ronco since they were a new product, brown & expensive! (At least since the late '80's to early '90's) She loves hers too!

Question: A lilt bling for my Fitbit charge hr

Fits great to my charge hr. It's been on continuously for past week, only concern, it gets stuck to my sleeves once in a while. But I exercised and ran with the fling on, and didn't experience any bother... Forget it is on.

My daughter LOVED it. She loves Elsa so she freaked out when she saw it. Looks just like the crown she wears in the movie. I also like that it doesn't lay flat on the head when worn like a headband like some of them do.

I bought this mostly to use for school work. It is exactly what I needed. The startup is really quick and it is convenient to take around with me.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! I read this book all the way through over and over. It's truly a wonderful perspective on raising a successful human and if you ACTUALLY READ the book, you'l see that is has NOTHING to do with child abuse. Not giving into your child's selfishness is NOT child abuse. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Question: Misleading Information

It's not nearly as loud as you would think for a product that claims to be for hearing impaired. I bought this for my mother and she said it's a little better and it will work, so I'm not returning it. Plus, I was so excited when I saw this while searching for phones for my mom and saw this one for vision and hearing impaired I got excited and ordered it and didn't notice it didn't come with a build in answering machine. My mom's old and she likes an answering machine and 99 percent of cordless phone systems have a answering system in the base unit, but not this one. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AT ALL!

If you're looking for a console cooler. This isn't a solid product however, this is one hell of ps4 stand and amazing controller docks BUT BE ADVISED they're sturdy...do not strong man rage fit the controller onto your charging docks. They will in fact severely damage your controller. You've got a better chance of cooling the ps4 down by fanning with your hands.

Fans 0/10
Ps4 stand itself 10/10 very solid
Quiet pointless fans 10/10 see above for reference.

Lastly price 10/10 cheap cheap cheap....fans

Question: I wish I'd found this book sooner!

When my dad was struggling with esophoageal cancer he had a terrible time swallowing and food would often get stuck in his throat. Near the end of his life he was only able to swallow liquids. I wish I'd found this book sooner as my mother could have really used a book like this for the last year of my dad's life.

This book is filled with ideas for absolutely delicious foods. Many would consider some of the recipes gourmet. I made the "Creamy Fruit Mousse" and it was absolutely delicious and easy to swallow. You blend pomegranate juice with gelatin and then add thawed fruit (I used fresh strawberries). You strain the mixture. You then can blend in sour cream - it is easier than stirring it in! I just poured the strained mixture back into the blender and added the sour cream. Then after letting it set in the refrigerator for only half an hour you mix in thawed whipped topping. It is an absolutely amazing dessert!

The second recipe I tried was the "Peanut Butter - Banana Smoothie." I'm drinking it as I type. It is something I'd make again for breakfast. The ingredients are simple - bananas, milk, ice, peanut butter and wheat germ. I left out the honey by mistake and it was still sweet enough. I also used ground flax seeds in place of the wheat germ.

Some of the other recipes I'm eager to try include:

Baked Pumpkin Custard
Mocha Mousse
Spinach Souffles
Salmon Mousse
Winter Squash Soup

Some of the recipes have dietary variations to reduce calories and carbohydrates. Most of the recipes also have instructions for "easy-to-chew and soft diets" and "for smooth/pureed diets." Like in one recipe you make the pancakes but then blend them with syrup and milk.

There is also a chapter on sauces which looks quite good. Solid foods can be pureed with the sauces making them more palatable.

I highly recommend this book! It is exactly what people need as they age or when they are recovering from chemo or an operation. If only hospital food tasted this good!

~The Rebecca Review

P.S. My husband had mouth surgery and this book helped me make him foods that were easy to eat. He loved the banana smoothie and pomegranate mousse.

I received a free copy of this book for review.

This is a clear presentation of how to know and do Gods Will in my life.  This will help significantly.

Question: Tense, Romantic, Bittersweet

Tense, romantic, and bittersweet, The Ambassador's Daughter is a perfect example of why I love historical fiction, particularly those set during the time of the World Wars.

I want to start by saying that I am so happy I accepted the tour invite for this book. The Ambassador's Daughter is a book that might never have crossed my path, and to think that I would have missed out on reading this gorgeous story is a shame. The story begins in Paris, December 1918. World War I has recently ended, and those in charge of the new world peace are meeting to discuss a treaty, what will become of Germany. The story is told through the eyes of Margot, a German who spent the war at Oxford with her Professor father. I found it interesting to read the story through the eyes of the (my country's) enemy in the war. Margot is in Paris to be with her father, and also to avoid her wounded fiance, Stefan. Though she is engaged to Stefan, she does not truly love him, and is quickly drawn to German Officer, Georg, with whom she is working during the peace negotiations. Georg is everything Margot never realized she wanted in a companion. His passion for peace and his intense nature pulls Margot in, and the two cannot help but fall in love. But Margot has secrets, beginning with her friendship with Krysia, a mysterious musician whose circle of friends may lead Margot down a dangerous road. Margot is also herself keeping secrets from Georg about Stefan. With so many tangled threads, Margot soon finds herself in over her head.

I honestly read this story with the anticipation that everything would soon fall down around Margot's lies. Though a woman who seems to continuously lie to everyone around her might seem to be a difficult heroine to love, she was not. I wanted her to be able to trust Georg with the truth, but understood why she felt she couldn't. The author did a beautiful job of building the tension that surrounds Margot and her secrets. I didn't dare let myself hope for a happy ending for Margot and Georg, but I will say it was a hopeful ending.

And really, this story, more than the romantic entanglements and the impending treaty, is about a young woman who learns to find her own way. Margot has lived her life to please others: her father, Stefan, then Georg. Ultimately, she must find herself before she can ever be free, to be happy with the man she loves.

The Ambassador's Daughter was simply beautiful. If you are a fan of historical fiction, or are simply looking for a remarkable story, I highly recommend it.

I read this book because it was free through BookBub.  What a read!!  I loved it.  So glad I have found another author to enjoy.  Great book!

Great case! I keep my AE-1 in here, along with a telephoto lens, a flash, some close-up filters and extra film. Does the job well. You can store things in the main compartment underneath the camera as long as they won't be damaging to it if they make impact (so film canisters, micro fleece clothes and even some lens cleaning spray should all be fine).

Durable bag with everything a minimalist, amateur photographer needs.

Question: Excellent text shows how to program an automated parking system with a PLC

I can find many books in the market to teach me how to program a typical PLC, BUT in this text, the author shows how step by step to design the hardware and the ladder logic program to control a typical prototype automated parking system with a PLC with all its related bells and whistles. PDF version of the book is consisted of 116 pages and 4 chapters. Chapter 1 is devoted to the project specification and system hardware. Chapter 2 is devoted to a complete explanation of ladder logic control software. Chapters 3 and 4 explain how to add a HMI device / application of WinCC software and also cover many other interesting topics with respect to this project as well.  As matter of fact, this text fills the gap between studying the PLC programming and implementing a complex PLC related project. I used this text to get some idea to do my final end year collage PLC based project.

I'm not even sure how or if the company made any money on this sale.  I'm more than pleased, though.  For the price and the free shipping, while I only needed one, I ordered five.  I figured it couldn't hurt to have them stashed around, and if anyone found themselves suffering a dead battery and no cable, I could offer to let them borrow one... or they could keep it for $5.  They may not make a profit, but there's nothing wrong with my doing it.

That said, I will point out that they do appear to be made from lower quality materials.  I don't see that as a problem if I'm not plugging and unplugging, winding, tugging, pulling on it (remember, I'll have one everywhere).  They charge my phone just as well as my OEM.

Shipping was sloooow--from Hong Kong--but for the price I was willing to wait.  They were just going to be spares.  Nice surprise, though--I got them a week-and-a-half sooner than promised.

I'll update if I encounter any problems down the road.

Item was very well made; however did not actually fit my 2014 Tacoma tail lights even a little... once installed, the tail gate would not close.  There was a mounting bracket that was totally in the way of the gate closing (note - covers were professionally installed).  I contacted the Seller and they promptly accepted the return.  GREAT Seller.  Just wish the guard worked for my truck.

I read the description on this product and was under the illusion these switch/receptacle plates were hand painted or something similar. Unfortunately they are standard wall plates covered  by a decorative vinyl covering,like wall paper. It is something we have done for years with our wall plates. There is nothing wrong with these wall plates as long as you understand what product you are getting.

Otherwise, these wall plates were just what we needed for a friends wine room. They were receive within days of ordering and the quality appears good. Our friends were thrilled and it fit their decor

Question: I loved The Queen's Gambit by Beth Brower

I loved The Queen's Gambit by Beth Brower.  It was such a delightful and intriguing read.  However, The Ruby Prince, the second in the series, is even better! .  The pace quickens and the excitement of Queen Eleanor's journey into Zarbadast as a prisoner of Prince Basal ramps up and I could  hardly put the book down.  It's hard to believe you are not living in the exotic world of the Emperor Shaamil and his royal court and his unholy designs on Eleanor's small nation.  Both books are highly visual and it is as if you are watching an epic movie. I hope to see them on the big screen one of these days!  Can't wait for book three.

The Prince of Noirs started reading this book and lost interest. He said the story was almost identical to many he had read before: ordinary boy discovers that he is Magical and Special and needs to save the world.
The Prince sniffed "I know how it's going to turn out". That said, he enjoyed "the same old story" many times before he got to this version. If your kid is not jaded and burned out on magical and special boy stories I'm sure it would be fine.

Question: intriguing from the start

Donna Tartt only writes one book every 10- yrs or so. This makes them extra special. I try so hard to read them slowly but I just can't. The secret history taps into something dark I think we all can relate too. For me I felt like I was there, a part of the group, in on a secret.  Amazing character development and a rear setting. A unique read.

I loved this scanner when I first got it.  Super fast, great results and easy to use software.  Now that I've had it 7 months I can't get it to scan more than a few pages at a time without jamming.  It really defeats the purpose of a high speed, sheet feeding scanner when you can only scan a few pages at a time.  I can't offer any recommendation for another product to buy, I bought this scanner and am stuck with it.  I encourage other customers to try a different product though, your satisfaction with this scanner will be short lived.

Question: Great tale of survival and the challenges of collapsed society

Fascinating book. While it isn't a survival guide by any means it really puts you into a mindset of what you might want to consider were the worst case scenario actually happen. The story itself while written many decades ago has aged quite well. What I mean by that is while the setting was in a time when my father was born, I could still relate to the characters and didn't feel alienated by any references. The story is about survival and the challenges faced by the breakdown in society - something that would occur no matter the time period. I highly recommend getting this story if you love a good survival tale that could be a "what if" scenario.

I recently purchased this bike lock, as part of a gift to compliment my wife's new bicycle. Coming from a background of mountain biking, I am usually very strict on the brand's that I prefer to utilize. I decided to purchase this bike lock out of pure faith of other consumer reviews (and the price). Trust me when I tell you that this is the best bike lock I've ever had; the cable maintains its coil, which is my favorite feature about this product. When I take sharp turns or rough terrain pathways, the cable remains close-knit and does not clink against my handle bars or get wrapped in my tires. Also, the transition from lock to unlock seems to be superior and easier compared to others I've had. I liked it so much I stole it back from my wife! I definitely give 5 stars!!
