Question: Looks great but is weakly constructed

I am not sure how individual my experience was but the bag was everything I wanted in terms of size, shape, pockets etc etc. Delivery and all the initial transaction pieces were perfect but a few days into my proud new ownership the METAL zipper for the laptop compartment in the back broke off and came away in my hand. Now, I am not 'that' rough with these things but I do need something sturdy that allows me to speedily get the zipper open and closed at airports or when I need to pack up quickly when I am already late getting home. So, we sent it back and I think they said the returns process takes 30 days...still waiting...I want a refund and have gone back to a boring old (sturdier) bag.

Fits on my LG V20 with tech21 case but it is basically at max.  Has a snug and secure feel to it.  Quite happy!

Question: sleek beautiful lunch box

This is a sleek beautiful lunch box. I love the 2 compartments and the stretchy tie that holds the two together. The lids seal very tightly. It takes a second to get the lid off so it may be hard for kids to do. It may loosen up over time but I don't mind. At least there is no seepage or spillage. This is mainly a cold lunch box but you could put something warm in there and microwave it. I have a thermos for hot foods. This is great for a salad and sandwich combo. But could be used for many things.
Like they say presentation is everything. I feel a lot more special eating my lunch out of this beautiful bentonite box than I do a plastic Tupperware container. My on the go dining experience has been upgraded!
The plastic utensils are just, ok. But it's nice to have them just in case.
This bento box would be good for traveling too.
I'm very happy with this purchase!

I received a promotional discount on this Bento to box to review and give my honest feedback.

since I bought it I could not use them because they say out of range or no pwr at baseline

Question: 7PK2170 does NOT fit a 2008 Toyota Sienna

The 7PK2170 does NOT fit a 2008 Toyota Sienna. The belt is too long, and you can loop it around all pulleys, even around the tensioner (without moving the tensioner!), and there is plenty of slack.

I have been trying to find the words to describe how the 376 pages of pure genius I read over the weekend made me feel. Without spoiling anything, I was tired of putting up with something I should have never put up with many years ago. I wish I would have had this book when I was newly married. Colleen, thank you. I know this book will save someone's life one day. Maybe several someone's. I'm having an awful book hangover right now.  Thank you for writing the best book ever and for sharing part of your story. I can't wait for the next book.

Question: Just used it to help my neighbor replace a strut ...

Just used it to help my neighbor replace a strut in his 93 Toyota. There is one nut that requires a #6 hex head to hold the shaft in place while you are unscrewing the nut. The seat was badly damaged, and the only thing alan wrench that would work to prevent the shaft from turning was from my new Wera set. Paid for itself in the first go!. We just managed to finish before a rain started!

It took some effort and grease, but I was able to put adapter in. I am happy to find the product.

Question: Outstanding Bang per Buck!

Purchased this switch about 10 months ago for a home based computer lab.  Needed VLan, SNMP, and IGMP snooping capabilities.  This switch performs perfectly.  I am impressed with the all metal body and internal power supply which is normally only found on more expensive switches.  When you factor in the lifetime warranty, this switch is hard to beat.

Great item!  Plenty of writing space (for my needs) & calendar holds up very well for being in use over many years!  Quick shipping from seller also.

Question: My brand new GB40 never fully charged.

The instructions say it should charge in 12 or fewer, but after 36 long hours plugged into a functioning adapter, the lights still only went up to yellow. So I returned it. Maybe it was defective; maybe it takes 37 hours to charge; maybe, like God creating the heavens and the Earth, it takes six days, after which it must spend a day resting. I couldn't tell you because three days was when I gave up. Now, if the GB40 were an absurdist play, I would give five out of five stars to its little blinking yellow lights that never reach green, like luminescent Vladimirs and Estragons waiting for Godot. That could be NOCO's new marketing campaign: "Buy the GB40, the existential battery booster, and accept the futility of an arid and meaningless existence. Why do you want to charge your car battery anyway? Where do you think you're going to go that's different from where you already are?"

This movie is the weakest of the original trilogy.  The plan to free Han Solo from Jabba the Hut was absurd, and the gorilla war tactics use by the Ewoks against the Empire troopers were ridiculous.  This DVD does include the theatrical version of the film which was a nice bonus.

Question: Phenomenal product.  Will recommend.

Incredible!!!  I love it so much.  I use make orange & pineapple juice almost daily on this thing.  So fun to use & heavy duty enough to trust.

Did I need to tighten a few screws?  Yes.  Did they provide the tool for it?  Yes!

If you can't handle a few screws, get an electric one.  This is for people who are willing to move their hands a bit for the great juice it produces.

The service was also incredible when I contacted them on a question.

Thank you guys!!

This is my second Gymboss.  I have one for my daily home yoga practice, and now also for the carry-out bag.  Gymboss keeps my practice disciplined.  I don't have to count or guess.  My practice calls for 65-70 seconds on each side of each pose.  The timer is set for 1 min. 30 sec.  to give me enough time to get into the next pose of switch sides.  Therefore, I can think about the poses, and I know I'm giving each side/each pose the same amount of time.  I can't imagine doing my yoga without Gymboss.

Size was smaller then I epected. Ordered a 9.5 which is my ring size at Kay Jewlers and its to small

Disappointed - the packaging was not as pictured (no fancy box and no monocular - not that I would use it much, but just saying it is a bit of a bait and switch) - only the watch is sent in a regular watch box packaging.  The battery / reserve was totally dead - the packaging indicates that the "reserve" is 5 months so this one must have been in the dark for quite some time.  Initially I set the watch out on my desk with only indirect light and it would not charge. I set the watch in the sun and also under a powerful light and is seems to have revived.  crossing my fingers.  Other than that the watch feels nice and substantial.  The watch band feels nice too.

Question: Sorry about the melodies, hardcore kids.

Dear fans of our early albums,

While it was fun composing funeral dirges for Satan, who really loves those chunky, out-of-nowhere 32nd note power chord riffs we like to think we made up, our contract expired and we have officially decided to write melodies. As you may know, melody is an aspect of music that works best when surrounded by accompaniment which does not wander aimlessly from one cliched touchstone to the next in adolescent approximation of unpredictability. Thus, we have elected to keep our loud guitars, thumping bass, and powerhouse drumming and put them to more focused use in writing songs with actual direction. We like to think that this change is for the better and should be less offensive to our listeners' ears. This is our "water to wine" release.

Aaron and Spencer are like our little angel and devil sitting opposite each other on our shoulders for this album, trading throat-ripping howls back and forth with passion-drenched shouts, yells and croons. It's really pretty neat, we think, and meshes quite well with the overall unyielding heaviness sprinkled with subtle electronica/keyboard flourishes that makes up our album.

We spent a long time in the studio with Jesus, who played guitar in a few places, such as on our personal favorite, "Down, Set, Go," with its punchy, rhythm-fueled dual guitar assault. The J-Man can really wail, as we are sure you can hear for yourselves. We were going to actually credit rather than simply thank Him in the liner notes, but He insisted that we spare him the exposure, since His name seems to spark media controversy on par with an all-out mallrat jihad. This is why we restrained ourselves from screaming "WAAAAAHHH!!! WE LOVE JESUS!!!! WAAAAAHHH!!!" as some have accused us of probably doing, in favor of a far less overt Christian message that namedrops Our Lord and Savior a mere single time on the closing track, "Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape." We realize that some of you (who have nothing better to do) will slander us mercilessly in your willful ignorance of this fact, but it's okay. Jesus loves you.

As cute (without the "e," ha ha ha) as we think they are, "They're Only Chasing Safety" is in no way meant to resemble Taking Back Sunday, living or dead, and we hope that the minds of our listeners are not so preprogrammed that a palm-muted guitar riff such as the one that opens "A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black and White" immediately reminds them of the aforementioned one hit wonder band.

We would also like to assert our status as a rock band, report that "rock" is apparently at the "core" of practically everything with guitars, and remind everyone that slinging around really quite ridiculous genre labels like "emocore," "metalcore," "grindcore," "rapcore," "countrycore," "indie-sex-core," "Watergatecore" and so forth is not only childish, but also no more helpful in discerning our band's sound than simply calling it rock and roll. Praise Jesus.

We realize that our latest record, "They're Only Chasing Safety," is rendered with better production values and songwriting skill that surpasses that of a four year old surrounded by pots, pans, and a chain of megaphones like Bart used in that one episode of "The Simpsons." Furthermore, we concede that no song contains faux-demonic vomit-singing followed by boring, circular death metal guitar riffs stolen from the back catalog of practically any terrible European metal band you can name (ala "A Message for Adrienne" from "The Changing of Times"). We hope that this does not impair your ability to dye your hair black, pierce your noses, outfit yourselves with enough studs and rings to turn a voodoo priest Republican, and slamdance into each other until becoming one massive, throbbing head trauma when enjoying our music.

Sincerely-core,

Underoath

As I'm originally from Yorkshire I was excited to read this book. I was disappointed to find that this predictable story could have been set anywhere.
The two main characters did not engage my interest and the outcome was obvious from the first couple of chapters.

Bought this as a gift.  Saw it myself at the cheapie cinema.  Quite entertaining.  I think this is good family entertainment.  Thanks

I bought this as a nostalgic game for my wife. Functionally it is the same as the one we remember playing many years ago. However, we were disappointed that the colors of the game pieces are not the same as the original game. I realize that may seem a trivial point, but our purpose for buying the game was for the memories so we miss not having the original colors.

Question: If you have a hammer, it's nails everywhere you look.

The Economic Naturalist is well written and informative, exploring many day to day circumstance through the lens of economic theory. On the way, Frank provides a painless and vivid introduction to key principals in economics.

That said (and probably because much of the material was provided by students taking classes in economics) all the explanations were economics explanations and mildly left economics at that. As an example, when explaining why 49 states don't make radar detectors illegal, Frank says that a few powerful manufacturers of radar detectors exert outsized political influence. Powerful manufacturers? The radar detector industry is tiny. In fact, Federal law preempts state efforts to ban radar detectors.

Elswhere, in a few cases technical and engineering considerations explain better than economics.

Light is bright and control is good. But Beware I bought 2 of these and left it on my 20 gallon tank without hood and after 2 month from the water evaporation (bubble bar and HOB Filter) both lights died, contacted customer support they do not warrant water damage...

So if you have a hooded or tank with a lid this will work great, but if you do not I highly recommend you find some other product that are waterproof because this light will not last and the warranty won't cover it.

Question: no disappointment here

I am always excitedly awaiting the end of the year to once again discover great new fiction.  Was happy to find another  super compilation of stories.  Good selections Jennifer Egan!

I got this back pack because I just got a macbook air and I wanted to have a backpack with a specific compartment for laptops. It is very comfortable and has 3 storage areas. One for the laptop and 2 others that are decent sized, you could easily fit textbooks and notebooks in them. I don't know if you are supposed to keep things out of the middles area section or not since that is the section that completely unzips the backpack so you can fold it into 2 pieces for airport security, but I got this thing for school not the airport so I put whatever in that section I need. It seems to be of good quality. All in all it is a good backpack for the price. It is definitely not as big as i thought, which is cool cuz I didn't need a huge backpack.

My one complaint is the lack of pen holder in the smaller section of the back pack. There are just open pouches in that section which kinda gets messy with everything just free floating around in there. It would have been nice if they would have included some more dividers or something.

Hope this helps.

Question: Works well and smells good

This is my 1st experience with Ahava products and I'm very pleased. The cream wash not only smells good but also works well. I tried it for the first time last night in the shower and was surprised that it lathered nicely on the washcloth and afterwards my skin felt smooth and not dried out as soaps do to me. It's nice to know I don't have to spend a fortune anymore on body washes or gels to feel good after a shower or bath. I wish I had known about this brand before now! My skin is both dry and sensitive to some products and I had no reaction from using this plus the hibiscus and fig made the entire shower smell great.

I bought 6 of these directly from ToySmith to put in the gift shop at my store. I had one put on display and a couple of days later found that the globe will shock you when holding the base and touching the globe. The base is clearly plastic, not very well grounded. It feels flimsy and poorly designed. It is honestly not worth the amount I was going to be selling it for to turn a profit at the store. On top of that, it is mildly dangerous. It can burn your skin in places if you hold it too long on the base while touching the globe. I was really disappointed because it seemed like an awesome idea. On top of that it does not come with batteries OR an AC adapter which it can be powered by. Overall, it's a cool concept but very poorly executed. I recommend this to anyone who is willing to get, or already owns, an AC adapter, and anyone who plans to use it for display only... don't touch the base and the globe at the same time. It's a fun little design for your desktop but not a toy for your 5 year old.

Question: Excellent Book that Provides Valuable Information

I loved this book.  I really appreciated the background information that included some of the experiences of Robert E. Lee & others in the U.S. Mexican conflict of 1846 & the political buildup to the Civil War. Of particular interest to me were the book's descriptions of specific battles studied at West Point (Cannae 216 B.C.E., Leuthen 1757, Austerlitz 1805) which in all probability helped define the military strategic & tactical thing of Lee & the other West Point generals of Gettysburg.
This book does a good job covering the planned role of General Jeb Stuart & his cavalry in coordination with what's now known as Pickett's Charge, & how Gen. Custer & Union cavalry regiments, that were one half the size of the Confederate units, derailed it.  Part of this action involved  Custer leading the 5th Michigan cavalry regiment & then the 1st Michigan cavalry regiment, units of less than 400 men, in attacks against a Confederate force of approximately 4,000 cavalry and mounted infantry.
Jeb Stuart's attack around the Union's right flank, and the desperate Union counter attack, is sometimes ignored or minimized. However, if Custer and Union cavalry (which included not only the 1st, 5th, 6th & 7th Michigan cavalry regiments but also the 1st NJ & 3rd Penn. cavalry regiments, plus Federal artillery batters) had not stopped Stuart's much larger mounted force the 13,000 Confederate men of Pickett's Charge probably would have met up with the Confederate cavalry and mounted infantry which would have come in from the east, thru the Union's rear area and behind most of the Union's battle line. If so the third day of Gettysburg would probably of had a much different conclusion and it's very possible the same would also be true of the conclusion of the American Civil War.

I live in the south. It's hot in the summer and the sun beats down on my car all day. I got one of those cheapie reflective shades from a local parts store. It never fit right and always seemed crunched up in the windshield. I finally sucked it up and ordered the Covercraft for my type of vehicle. It was a smart move and so worth the money. I am no longer fighting the shade to get it in the window. The Covercraft is sturdy and yet easily unfolds to fit in the window. It definitely helps keep down the car temperature and I know it's better for the dashboard. It was clearly designed for my make, model and year car.

Question: Fun, fast-paced, and, and clever enough to keep you guessing

Flotsam is a book that intrigued me from the first line of its cover blurb.

"A fantastical steampunk first contact novel that ties together high magic, high technology, and bold characters to craft a story you won't soon forget."

Seriously, that one line promises a lot. The further I read, the more excited I became, until I started to worry my expectations were becoming too high. No matter how good a read it might be, R.J. Theodore had her work cut out for her - through no fault of her own - in delivering on those expectations.

Having had a few days to digest the book, to separate the emotions from the thoughts, I am pleasantly surprised to say it was everything I wanted - and perhaps even a bit more.

This is a book that starts out with a crazy treasure hunt that is of neither the deep-sea nor the outer-space variety, but somewhere in between. We're introduced to Captain Talis as she's dangling in the air, waiting to explore a shipwreck within the detritus strewn layer of the atmosphere. It has all the elements of a pulp adventure to it, complete with betrayal, attack, and pursuit, and kicks things up a notch with the appearance of a freakin' spaceship. Yeah, you heard me, a beautifully odd ship of silver, floating alongside sail-driven steampunk airships.

There is a lot to like here, beyond the rather cool concept. The characters are a lot of fun, some more developed that others, but all of them more than just stock figures. The world building is impressive, and even if it feels like there is a lot that's been held back at this point, what we do get is satisfying enough to turn questions into anticipation. The action is fantastic, something of a cross between space opera and nautical warfare, and the hand-to-hand combat is refreshingly unorthodox. Theodore does a great job of playing to the genre conventions, but never settles for being predicable, even if it means forcing the reader outside their comfort zone sometimes. As an added bonus, the aliens are truly that - alien - humanoid in appearance, but visibly crossed with other species, and having a class-based system that surpasses any question of gender.

While Flotsam does explore some themes of gender, class, and authority that are interesting, it is most successful as fantasy escapism. This is fun, fast-paced, and, and clever enough to keep you guessing. As a standalone novel it does, perhaps, leave too much unknown or open-ended - especially with its cliffhanger ending - but as the opening to a series it is everything it needs to be to keep us reading.

I couldn't really tell what the print would look like from the photos, so I took a chance.  Very muddy, dreary dark and unappealing colors, especially the gray which just looked dirty.  I liked the style and construction, really liked the full lining, but I returned it because the colors were so unflattering.

Question: night lights give off a nice blue or green light at night

night lights give off a nice blue or green light at night.  I love the fact that they are off during day and give off light at night.  Just plug them in and enjoy.

This book is not essential, it's more like an encore, another chance for us to experience  Norwich's take on Venetian history. It's very different from his previous tomes, and the reviewers that complain about the more relaxed tone and structure of this book should have read the author's introduction, where Norwich tells a reader what to expect from the pages that follow.

The book is becoming a history twice - while describing the end of republic and Napoleon's rape of Venice and later - in the chapter about the Revolution of 1848-49.  The first part is indispensable if one wants to understand how and why Venice slipped into lethargy, the second is an absolutely unmissable testimony to the Venetians' yearning for their republic's rebirth.

The text about the Revolution is an insertion, yes, but without it the nineteenth century Venice would have looked just like a picturesque ruin inhabited by docile natives.

The texts about Venice in XIX-XX are a delicasy for these who are already familiar with the much more researched and written about periods of La Serenissima's  life. Finishing it's story with the year 1797 is like cutting short someone's biography when and because a person grows older and becomes less entertaining.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to start his or her reading about Venice with this book, but also I have no doubt that as your 15th or 30th book on the subject Paradise Of The Cities will be a delight.

After introduction you can make your own...playlist of chapters, I've proceeded to the last, about "Baron Corvo", then skipped to Ruskin, followed with the one about Layards (just because I haven't heard of them before), enjoyed the text about Whistler and Sargent, was a bit disappointed by the pages with the story of Byron (Christopher Hibbert tells it better, I think),  it's a pleasure to zigzag through this book choosing the next chapter on a whim - something that's absolutely impossible when you read Norwich's best known history.

I don't understand all the raves about this boots. It's true that it looks nice and cute but it's the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. Had to return.

This is a great product! They absorb really well and the colors are great. Also, they wash really easy. I will definitely buy them again.

Question: Great while it lasted (2.5 years).

Pros: Attractive, sleek, and compact design. Nice blue light when it's on.

Cons: After about a year, it starts making a clicking sound each revolution. After two and a half years, it stopped working completely. The peice that the watch wraps around is hard plastic and made an indentation on the leather strap of my watch.

Amazon should correct the inaccurate description of this item which states  "......STARTS WORKING WHEN THE WATER LEVEL PUSHES THE FLOAT UP."  As several other posters have noted, this pump DOES NOT have, or utilize, a FLOAT switch.  Instead, it starts up every few minutes and it automatically measures resistance on the impeller shaft for a few seconds to determine whether it should continue to run.  If there is water in the bilge, the shaft resistance causes the pump to continue to run until the bilge water is removed and no resistance is noted.  The electrical drain during the resistance testing phase is minimal.  This is an good product and will last 1-2 years in continuous operation.  The only down side is that as the pump gets older, it could malfunction and run continuously in the absence of any water in the bilge.  Two batteries -wired independently- are a must in any boat that has a working automatic bilge pump installed.

Question: Red Hot MacBook Pro running boot camp

I recently started playing Star Wars The Old Republic on my Boot Camped MacBook Pro and was disturbed by how hot it was getting (almost too hot to touch the case in some places).  I did a lot of looking around and settled on this product.  I have to say I am very happy with it so far.  Although I don't have any official temperature readings, I can say that while still warm to the touch while playing TOR the computer is no longer in danger of removing my fingerprints.  The size of this unit is perfect for my 15" MacBook, and the USB connection is even on the correct side to make it easy to use.  So in short, I am happy with this buy.

Pros:
Perfect Size
High and Low setting
Runs Quiet (can't hear it over the internal Mac fan)
Quick Setup

Cons:
Not really a con, but I find the blue led unnecessary, and really bright in a dark room.

I bought the Kindle version of this book, and enjoyed the content, EXCEPT where the typographical errors were so bad that I was not completely sure what the author was really saying.  In addition, the illustrations which are an important part of the message of the book are scattered in a seemingly random manner in the Kindle version.  I liked the book enough that I bought the "old-fashion" paper version:  what a difference!

Many books translate well to Kindle.  This book is not one of them, in my opinion. I'd give the Kindle version zero stars if I could, and the hard-copy 5 stars.

Question: Excellent selection........

My son received a TAG for his 5th birthday this year.  He received quite a few TAG books from family members and this one is by far his favorite.  He would sit for hours going through the pages, pressing the TAG pen to the words and the pictures to produce the audio.  It's a great story line and if your child loved T-Rex, he or she will be very pleased with this book.

The hydration bladder is even better than expected.  It holds a large amount of water leak free.  I have used it twice already while doing outside activities. I am buying another one for my wife. I love how long the drinking tube is.  It also has a very good mouth piece with it.  The bladder has a top that opens up and allows for very easy cleaning!

Question: The greatest "14th" on disc

This 12-disc set from 2007 brings together recordings made between 1973 and 1997 with at least three different orchestras for as many labels. The performances run a fairly steep gamut from a lackluster, yawn-inducing 8th (with the LSO from 1992 for TelDec/Erato), to the brilliant, stunning 14th, perhaps the greatest performance of a Shostakovich symphony every committed to disc--and, basically, the reason I bought the set.

Rostrapovich's classic--and still unequaled-- 1973 reading of the 14th with his wife, soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, bass Mark Reshitin, and  the Academic Symphony Orchestra of Moscow originally appeared on the old Soviet Melodiya label, subsequently re-issued in the US on a CBS/Melodiya LP (M 34507 (1977)) and on CD first by Melodiya (SUCD 10-00241) in 1991 just before the breakup of the USSR, and later on the obscure Revelation label (RV 10101)--a poor transfer at best. I cannot complain about EMI/Warner's transfer; it is probably as good as it's possible to get, although still vexed by the original recording's odd acoustic quirks and sometimes-jarring spatial perspective, the tape hiss is mostly gone, and the performances are still as unforgettably passionate, fiery, driven, and utterly electrifying as when first committed to tape over forty years ago.

Other high points include what may be the best interpretation of the often-overlooked 12th Symphony from 1960--Rostrapovich's 1997 recording with the LSO goes a long way to convince me that this is more than a thematically-impoverished piece of note-spinning, but a work of genuine drama and substance. A very fine 6th, also with the LSO--and coupled with the 12th; a well-played and not-too over-the-top 5th; a superb 7th, an aptly quirky 1st, a well-paced (if a bit thin-textured) 9th, and a moving, heartfelt 13th with the National Symphony of Washington D.C., which gets one of the best performances on record, worthy to stand alongside truly great readings by Bernard Haitink (Decca), Eugene Ormandy (RCA), Neeme Jarvi (DG), and the 2014 Vasily Petrenko outing for Naxos

With the already-noted exception of the Melodiya 14th, the re-mastered sound in this set is fairly consistent from one disc to the next, notwithstanding the near-two-decade time span over which these recordings were made. Many of TelDec's original issues featured maddeningly low  dynamic levels, which often necessitated a good deal of knob-twisting; but EMI's transfer engineers seem to have addressed this issue with some success.

Attractively priced and handsomely packaged, this set will make a welcome addition to any serious collection. Die-hard Shostakovich complete-ists will want it not only for the 14th, but as a document of a great musical association between the composer and one of his most ardent interpreters and dearest personal friends (akin in its way to the recordings of Mahler by Bruno Walter and Otto Klemperer), but it has much to offer the classical-music beginner, and novice collector  as well. Recommended!

This device uses a 30-pin Apple connector, which suits my iPhone 4S just fine. The device works well with the app made by iON but equally well if not better on djay2 from the App Store. Seems like the hardware is the NumarkDJ2GO but with a 30-pin IPhone connector instead of a female micro-USB port on the side. At this price, buy this and the Numark for quick precise (NOT pro) control on your iOS and desktop device!

Question: Not fun to write with.

This pen is terribly scratchy to write with. It is like writing with a sewing needle. The tines flex and pinch the paper. It runs dry easily and you have to prime the nib with the converter. I wish I could send it back.

It doesn't project nearly as well as I thought it would. The colors move a bit, but they aren't rich or clear enough so it doesn't look natural or particularly interesting. I am an adult who just wanted something different to fall asleep looking at, maybe for mood lighting, but I used it twice and haven't turned it back on since

Question: Easy to understand and use

This is an easy to navigate and use workbook for my four year old.

***New Update***
 As of today several plastic pieces continue to break off along the top where the power button and volume buttons.  Very disappointed I wouldn't expect this from a $100 case

*Update*
It is now August 5, 2017 and while the swivel part seems to still be ok the plastic pieces by the speakers where the power button is has broke.

So far so good but I have only had it a few weeks. I do admit I am concerned about the hinge that allows you to swivel and open and close it seems rather flimsy

Question: Only for fans and collectors

The detailing on the figurines is pretty poor, but I'm a fan and this is a numbered limited edition so wasn't going to pass it up.

I bought this once and returned it because it didn't work at all. Bought again after I asked a co-worker what she was using because her screen was completely black to me when I was sitting beside her. She sent me the link to this product and I gave it another shot, but again it just didn't work at all. Only way it would dim visibility from side angles is if I brought the brightness on my screen almost all the way down. Not what I expect from a privacy filter. Perhaps there is some kind of space-time continuum-bending difference between the 13" and 15" versions (my co-worker's was the 13"). Returning again, still hunting for a screen that legitimately blocks viewing from side angles. Le sigh.

Question: "This isn't a normal case."

Harri Nyknen's "Nights of Awe," translated from the Finnish by Kristian London, takes place during the holiest time of the Jewish year--a period of repentance that culminates in the Day of Atonement. At a time when his fellow Jews are contemplating their past deeds and preparing for the holiday, our narrator, forty-year old bachelor Ariel Isaac Kafka, is busier than ever with his job as a detective in Helsinki's Violent Crime Unit.  Chief Detective Huovinen summons Kafka to Linnunlaulu, where two dead bodies ("the deceased are most likely foreigners") have been found.  Along with Detective Mika Simolin and the rest of his team, Ariel will be up to his ears in corpses before the matter is laid to rest.

What follows is an investigation so complicated that it is difficult to describe coherently.  Suffice it to say that the inquiry involves the Israeli Mossad, Iraqi-born nationals, SUPO (the Finnish Security Police), and an old buddy of Ariel's who may have gone rogue. When the dust settles and the truth emerges, Ariel is disheartened by the stupidity, self-destructiveness, greed, and heartlessness of his fellow human beings.

Nyknen does not focus on character as much as plot and the story is dense and confusing.  Multiple killings and acts of torture occur off-stage; we never get to know much about the victims.  At least the author provides Ariel with a bit of shading--he lost his father at a young age, his mother was overbearing, religion means little to him, and he is doggedly determined to bring criminals to justice.  So much is going on in this novel--drug dealing, terrorism, covert operations, and more--that the reader's head may begin to spin.  Nor does the rushed and far-fetched conclusion help matters.  On the other hand, the forensics and police procedures are handled professionally and add a bit of verisimilitude to the narrative.

"Nights of Awe" presents a cynical worldview in which people ruthlessly exploit one another.  Ariel's spiritual leader, Rabbi Liebstein, is correct when he says, "The whole world is like an enormous clock whose spring has been wound too tight. I'm afraid that before long its gears are going to start flying off."  Perhaps they already have.

I have a lot of games from Steam and EA on my computer, but my grandson has gotten used to playing with a console gamepad. He often times felt frustrated trying to use the mouse and keyboard to play games when he visited.  He can  now play games more easily when he visits (usually stays the whole summer break).  Now I need too learn how to use the gamepad!

Question: superb science fiction

From Heinlein to Card. Beautiful science fiction that is so much more than its genre. Great interplay and development of characters.

THE ISLE takes place entirely on a remote lake outfitted with small floating cabins where folks can go to fish, screw or commit suicide.  Oh, wait, that last one isn't in the brochure.  Nevertheless, one man arrives with just that intention, though he has some difficulty following through with it.  He catches the eye of the lake's proprietor, an obsessive woman who becomes insanely jealous when he spends time with one of the local prostitutes who seems genuinely interested in him.

Is the woman some kind of water spirit?  What past secret is haunting the man?  And why doesn't anyone who visits the lake know how to swim?  (Which begs another question: Why are they there?  Don't they have hotels in Korea?)

Jealousy and murder ensue.  People start putting fish hooks where they were never intended to go.  And numerous animals are tortured, mutilated, and killed in close detail for no discernible reason.  For all this, the movie is painfully slow.  THE ISLE is a cruel and disgusting yet boring film with no plot and where nothing anybody does makes any sense.  Turn that motorboat around and speed away from this pointless fish story.

Question: A great book for both kids and adults

"The Brave Unicorn first of all has stunning pictures. There are many lessons and the main one is to deal with failure knowing that it is not the end. Looking back, I could have given up on life so many times. This message is good for both adults and kids to learn. The book goes fast and often times seems abrupt but overall I think the author is trying to get both fun graphics and good lessons. I noticed growing up I read more traditional children's story but in our days children prefer quick, fast, and short books and the Brave Unicorn is that. Not so much flowery but just direct. If you want to be amazing, you gotta work your butt off and along the way there will be people who want to discourage you like the snake. Overall, good solid book. Short stories for kids needs to have attractive graphics and this book delivers this. Never GIVE UP! Everyone will encounter failure on the way to success."

Really good, but the nuts are salted. Just in case one is looking for unsalted nuts!
Also, there are too many almonds and cashews in comparison to other nuts. So, I am not  sure how healthy it is in larger quantities.

Question: Do not work for me - but would be great if they did

I haven't found Skechers for women to fit me - this was no different. I tried, hoping that the last was longer/wider than before. In an 11E, it is too long. In a 10E, it is too short and a tad too narrow. I have to get a Men's 9.5 in Go Walk shoes to fit.

It seems very cute and this is the first potato head I know of that plays music.  It does a snippet of the theme song when you push his hat down.  As with all potato heads, it does seem to be most fun for my kid when he can mix and match with everything else (Mrs. Potato Head combined with Darth Tater Potato Head combined with Indiana Jones Potato Head combined with Frankenstein... etc, etc you get the idea.)

No real complains.  Seemed like a great addition to the series.

Question: Simple message, wonderful illustrations, happy 4 year old!

I just finished reading this book to my 4 year old.  She really enjoyed the illustrations and thought the chickens were so cute.  The message is simple enough and the story is cute.  It kept her attention and helped her reaffirm her veganism.

I love how it made talking about animals and our eating habits easy.  I would highly recommend this book for vegetarian, vegan, and veg curious families.

This does exactly what I need it to do. It keeps my dogs hair and dirty paws off my seats and as an added bonus keeps them from coming into the front seat. It's super easy to install, well made, and even comes in a bag you can repurpose as one of those backpack with the skinny strings. Would recommend this to anyone.

Question: IGLOO lunch box: good value

The Igloo lunch box is a good purchase. It is well made. It has great storage in the top lid and in the main compartment. The zippers hold up nicely. The straps sometimes pull away a little from where attached but he uses it daily and it takes a lot of abuse. We usually buy another one after about 1-2 years to make sure he's never without one. A favorite for many years-good design, well made and good value.

This is like accidentally meeting an assistant of the Cohen Brothers at a party, having him sit down with you over several beers and him telling you all his experiences. It's full of little observations and anecdotes that give you a quick peek into the Brother's head. (I use the singular form of 'head' here intentionally).

His bio states he worked for Woody Allen and Ken Burns, too. Is it too much to request for little ebooks on them, too...?

Question: I love it, but do your homework.

Wow. Where do I start.. I already owned an RCA soundbar and needed another one for the upstairs tv since we all know flat panel tvs have crap for speakers.  I saw this, checked the reviews and thought a subwoofer was just the thing for the family room and movie nights (purchased a blu ray player for Christmas)

Here's what I stumbled upon which may or may not be an issue for everyone:
I have all Samsung equipment-BluRay, tv, sound bar, and a Directv box.
There is NO optical option on my tv, nor does it have bluetooth since it is an older model smart tv. So the passthrough option is not an option and the optical is not an option.

I hooked up the cable box to the soundbar, the soundbar to the tv, and the bluray to the tv all via HDMI cables.

I cannot listen access the bluray and the tv through the soundbar without switching out the hdmi cables. *I am currently purchasing an HDMI switcher to resolve this issue.

Please make certain you have all the necessary inputs/ports available on the tv before purchasing. It never occurred to me that having only 1 HDMI input option on the soundbar would be an issue-I thought it would all pass through the tv and into the soundbar-it doesn't.

That being said..if you have optical or samsung tv with bluetooth you're more than golden and don't need anything.
The sound is great and the subwoofer is subtle but adds a real richness to the audio. There are plenty of settings for sports/cinema/voice which meet all our needs since some people in my household are stone cold deaf and need to watch the news at volume 22.. :)

Now, if I could only get the directv universal remote to work with it..

My Kindergatener does really well with this book. Helps him a lot. He can do it independently.

Question: Other than that they work great!

The only complaint I have is that the lids are not too strong. If you have them stacked very high, the lids on the bottom ones break. Other than that they work great!

Most trade books offer flattering reviews or comments on their back cover. We learn to take these with a grain of salt. However, I find Simon's book to more than deserve its praise. To be sure, it's  hubris on my part to utter  judgments on the work of a 1978 Nobel Prize winner ("for decision-making processes in economic organizations") and highly respected author and advisor to governments and major businesses.  But that's the  wonderful breakthrough created by Jeff Bezos at Amazon. He took any and all books - no matter the reputation or standing of their authors - and opened them up to be weighed and judged by any and all of us! What could be more democratic - and often interesting and insightful.

The four chapter titles may sound forbidding to nonspecialists: "Alternative visions of rationality", Rationality and teleology", and "Rational processes in social affairs". But once past the entry gate, this slender, 128 page book offers  treats for the intellectually curious person who might be intimidated by terms like "teleology" and formal analysis of logic or reason. Simon takes us on a tour of big names, developments and problems of modern society, like artificial intelligence, "behavioral model of rationality", creativity, bureaucracies, evolution, Great Depression, Milton Friedman, management science, Karl Marx, sociobiology. He explains them or gives historical references, and shows their underpinnings and relationships in language, logic, and examples that are mostly easy to understand.

Simon is a master of what I call "the leveraged observation". By this I mean  examples that yield  generalized  insights of those one could expect from single examples. For example, Simon illustrates the limitations of purely rational processes with Adolf Hitler's book, "Mein Kampf". Simon found that if, for the sake of argument,  we accept Hitler's premises and data - e.g. racial superiority, the scheming of the Jews, etc.,  his  reasoning processes are more than adequate to produce convincing conclusions. The problem, of course, was Hitler's skewed assumptions. The devastating results of Hitler's influence,  not only for his victims but also Germany thus underscores the critical importance of examining both underlying  assumptions as well as rational analysis in a way that would be harder to establish from less definitive cases, e.g. U.S.'s political gridlock.

Having said these good things, my own recent research  brings up some chastening reflections on the role of the author and this book in U.S. society. Simon was a polymath, equally adept at theory and applications. He roved over many fields including mathematics and decisionmaking for businesses. Some biographers consider him  America's most influential social scientist. What does the fact that my Amazon review seems to be the first for a book of exceptional quality and wisdom, published 19 years ago say about the reception and retention of good thinking in America today?  Moreover already before his death in 2001  lapses in judgment and ethic had grown in the U.S. business world to levels not seen since the Gilded Age of the 1880s (e.g. ENRON). So what - if anything -  has been the role of the social sciences in helping the U.S. understand human interactions and avoid major mistakes. It's a bit discouraging to reflect that even if we had a book containing all the answers to our current economic crisis, it would likely be buried among tens of thousands of books with similar themes. This should really be something for academics to chew on

My rescue maltipoo loves these.  She takes a few days to finish them off (around the house!).  However, they are rawhide and I recently heard that rawhide is not as good for your dogs as bully sticks.  Your choice; as sticks they are great.

You know what I love about being a dad? I can write this review in the bathroom without being disturbed. We'll call it a Penis Perk and it's exactly what I'm doing. You know what's great about this book? Everything. It's hilarious and relatable. Which means that it puts everyday life and routine frustrations in the funniest possible way. I've seen most of these dramas play out and it's refreshing to laugh at someone else going through it.

This book will score dads MAJOR brownie points if they gift it to moms on Mother's Day. It says "I feel your pain" and "You're not alone" and "I would like some fun sexy times with you."

ANOTHER great thing about books like these (anthologies written by multiple bloggers) is that if you like these stories, then you can follow and read other posts from these bloggers. So the funny train never has to stop.

In parting--imagine comedy as a stick of butter. Now take that butter, cut off squares, and spread it onto page after page. Congrats, you have recreated this book. Now eat it.

Question: Great tool for companies to split equity

Just starting company where by one con-founder can only contribute part-time, as continuos income is need for his family we were wondering how to divide and split ownership once we become successful down the road. This book gave us the answer... the grunt fund. The book is well written, compared to other business books actually fun to read!

The book gives a very good explanation on what the risks are of early equity splits and the often used standard 50 / 50... it provides a module to value the different aspects of value, from time, to cash, to office space etc. It really is a clever way of working with a number of people towards a new start up and allowing everyone to get a fair share, without the need of contracts and lawyers to begin with.

The examples provided help to create a similar process for my own start up.

I will be using the grunt fund!!

This is the first and only time I have used this tent, so the majority of the information is limited. The tent went up in 2 minutes, secured to the ground in another 2 minutes (two people assembling). The included stakes are short in length, but none of them bent when I used them. The tent worked well, nothing broke or fell apart excluding a few stickers that indicate where to pull on the rods to set the tent up. The seams were the most worrisome for me, the stitching that holds the tent together is all over the place, not straight or close to the fabric. I can only hope that the seams hold together over the years. I was impressed with the tent, the fly which is used for the two front doors glides well, but becomes stuck when the water barrier fabric (which covers the zipper/fly) gets sucked into it, (a very common phenomenon during my camping trip), but was easy to fix without having to start all over again. The flies stayed out, but only if the zipper was completely closed, there are some velcro to keep the two front doors closed, but was of no help with the flies.  The cross ventilation was perfect due to the windows, I have not had the opportunity to see how well the tent is rainproof, but don't see that as a problem. I found that the wide open space was perfect for an inflatable queen-sized bed, three dogs, my wife, and myself. I look forward to using it again, but worry about the seam issue highlighted above. Disassembly took 5 minutes (from start to placing the tent back into the bag and zipping the bag up), don't forget to remove the bottom nomenclature on the tent bag; it even says "rip this off/or rip here" prior to placing the tent back in to the bag (otherwise it won't fit as some of the other posts said). I am very happy with the quick set up, and would recommend this to anyone interested in buying a quick and easy to set up tent.

It is simple and very reliable and works entire hunting season on 4 AA batteries  WHAT  MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR

Question: The controller is very nice and well made

The controller is very nice and well made. All the functions work exactly as described. I'm a little disappointed at the rate of fire from the "very fast rapid fire" function though. It's slower than what I was expecting.

Very nice the red pieces are marron not red. The black pieces are a faded black color more like charcoal color other than that very good buy I ended up painting my pieces. Still a good deal for the price.

Question: crashes and eats data.

Keeps crashing my tablet. A real data hog. Can't seem to get rid of it.

Susan Stabile's book is extraordinary and would represent a valuable addition to the library of any Christian--particularly any Catholic--who is interested in deepening his or her spiritual experience. But be forewarned: This is not about a feel-good, new-age approach to Christianity. Growing in Love & Wisdom is a serious, thoughtful, well researched, and beautifully written exploration of the places where Buddhism and Christianity intersect coupled with very specific advice for applying Buddhist meditation principles and techniques to Christian prayer.

Ms. Stabile might be uniquely qualified to explore these subjects. She grew up as Catholic girl on Long Island whose spiritual quest led her to an extended investigation of Buddhism (specifically, Tibetan Buddhism) that eventually led to her becoming a Buddhist nun. Then after twenty years as a Buddhist, she found herself gravitating back towards the Catholic Church. (Her day job, by the way, is as a law professor!) But Ms. Stabile did not renounce Buddhism when she did so. Instead, she used it as a tool to enhance and explore her Christian spirituality. As she demonstrates so clearly in her book, the combination of the two can be quite remarkable. (Catholic pilgrims will recognize in her work distinct echoes of Thomas Merton, someone whose spiritual explorations followed a somewhat similar path.)

There are enormous areas of overlap between Christianity and Buddhism and Ms. Stabile outlines them clearly and convincingly. There are also places where the two faith traditions diverge, something she acknowledges readily. The book's greatest value, however, is in adapting Buddhist meditation techniques that have been developed over thousands of years to traditional Christian prayer. Specifically, the book outlines fifteen Tibetan Buddhist meditation practices and clearly describes how they can be used to enhance the prayer experience for Christians. It's important to note that the result is something that is entirely consistent with Christian practice and theology. She is not proposing some sort of hybrid religion; rather, she's describing ways to support a decidedly traditional Christianity with techniques adapted from those she learned during her Buddhist years.

Growing in Love & Wisdom is detailed and authoritative from an academic/scholarly standpoint but is as much a workbook as it is a text book. The idea is not to read about prayer and meditation, it is to experience them. Ms. Stabile proves herself to be an excellent guide for doing just that.

I usually buy these one pack at a time for about 7 bucks, getting 5 for $12 is a very good deal. Won't have to worry about perfect fits for a long time!

This coffee is AMAZING! I usually make a k-cup because I'm running out the door and I don't have time to grind and brew. I usually put up with the so-so taste and quality because the convenience makes up for it ... But with these k-cups I don't have to sacrifice taste! Every blend I've had has been super fresh and so delicious and literally as good as making freshly roasted coffee. I am so happy and look forward to my Angelino's coffee every morning! Please don't ever change!!

Question: Different perspective

From a different perspective than his early work, but intelligent and characterized to appeal on multiple levels.  Made me think a bit, and more about the humans using the tech than the tech itself.  Very enjoyable, worth a revisit to this stub down the road

I loved that it came with so many pieces, however the comforter had a "run" in it and I had to sew it.  I chose to fix it because my son had to take it back to Texas to his Army barracks and he needed it.  No time to exchange.

Question: Best GPS value for the money on the market!

So I just got done using the Swami for a quick 9 hole run, because I was anxious to see how it would perform.
Upon completion of the round I am happy to say that I am VERY pleased.  Not only did the Swami do as advertised,
I was able to shoot one of my lowest scores of the season so far with it.  The yardages it gives are very accurate
and the best part in my opinion is that it doesn't take a huge amount of time to "settle" down when you get to your
ball to acquire a yardage, which helps with your pace of play.  (Unlike the skycaddie which takes a fair amount of time to "settle" on a yardage.)

The $35 activation fee is definitely reasonable in my opinion as well, because it's really only a one-time fee if you choose.  You
can download 10 courses that you play on a regular basis and then that's really all you need, unless you travel a lot.

All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this GPS to both amateurs and scratch golfers alike.  It's probably the BEST GPS for the money on the market right now.

"We have just finished reading an advance review copy of Mark Ireland's new book Messages from the Afterlife. To say that we are impre...ssed by the contents is an understatement. This is a must-read book which we will highly recommend to all of the readers of the Friday Afterlife Report.

Mark has been in a unique position to experience and analyze mental mediumship in a highly personal way using his network of bereaved parents, top mediums and psychical researchers.

He has put together a book which records extraordinary messages from the afterlife through dreams, after death contacts and through mediums. He writes always with an awareness of the need for evidence and records many instances of cross validation. While being easy to read the book is well researched and provides excellent detail and referencing and will be of interest to those conducting research into mediumship.

This book will give comfort and hope to all those who have lost a loved one and practical guidance to those who are seeking their own personal message that life and love never die."

Question: Good shoe, sizing a bit off.

I like these shoes but I wish they were a bit a bigger.  I have them in a size 8 as well but they are just a bit too big.

I unwrapped these at Christmas. Nice fit, comfortable, but plastic eye holes pull out of boot first time I laced the right boot up. The left one also pulled out the second time I laced them up. I had a pair of wolverine work boots I wore on the job for six months. They met my expectations but fell a part after sitting in the closet for almost 3 years. As with most products we buy now made in China means poor quality.  I will be sending these bach for a refund.

Question: I loved Ghostly Encounters

I loved Ghostly Encounters: Confessions of a Paranormal Investigator! The book was well written and vibrant, documenting the authors travels to notoriously haunted locations and engaging in deep investigations in search of hard evidence. The chapters move along chronologically, and I was struck with excitement as we moved between facilities, experiencing a variety of compelling EVPs that the reader can listen to with a QR app. Reviewing pictures and a variety of spooky evidence left me eager for each subsequent chapter. The researchers observations, anecdotal stories, group collaborations and macabre site descriptions help the reader develop an understanding of paranormal investigations, complete with the authors recommendations and sincere opinions of potential spirit events. I feel that this text is an excellent must read for those interested in the field of paranormal research  I did not believe in ghosts before reading this book, but now have the desire to learn more. Did they fulfill their objective? Read it and find out!

Not what it used to be. I loved this thing for my iPhone 4. The spray then squeeze was hands down the best installation method out there. It took away all the lint and dust, but now this new method is terrible. There were many bubbles and lint under the protector after installation. I am very disappointed and I am not even going to claim the warranty because I just flat out want a different screen protector from a different company.

Question: Great filter, not so the price hike

Cut to size for my Sanyo home air filter to prolong the life of the expensive hepa filter. Lost 1 star as the price jumped 500% between now and last year (was $0.98).

Since I have a KitchenAid mixer I purchased the ice cream maker based on recommendations from America's Test Kitchen.  The attachemnt arrived within a week of ordering and I have made 2 batches of vanilla ice cream.  I kept the attachment in the freezer for about 24 hours and chilled the ice cream batter in the refrigerater overnight before mixing.  The attachment produced soft serve ice cream in about 14 minutes and after 4 hours in the freezer the ice cream became hard and was creamy when served.  The KitchenAid ice cream attachment makes very good ice cream.

Excellent product. I would not have purchased the Yeti tumbler if this handle was not available.

My new favorite EDC (Every day carry) knife. Durable. Effective. Stylish. Looks mean and works! It just works! Whether you're whittling wood or cutting open Amazon packages it won't fail you. Unless you throw it against a tree 50 times it shouldn't break. Tough as nails.

Very, VERY pricey for cheap quality and does not have the Mickey tag on it . Disappointed about that.  It is very soft though and will do for now because we could not find Baloo anywhere. The shipping was not that long of wait and it was packaged nicely.  There were no weird smells ; had the new smell I like.

Question: Beware! Could be a bad lot out there.

I ordered a set of these 2 weeks ago for my commuter bike and on the first ride the right pedal separated from the spindle. Amazon sent me a replacement set and on the first ride with those the same thing happened again - right pedal came off leaving just a greasy spindle attached to the crank. I did nothing to adjust or modify the pedals - just took them out of the box and screwed onto my cranks. I'm pretty sure the spindle sheared off at the nut that holds the pedal on both times. Luckily I was just riding on flat pavement when these failed so no crash occurred - had I used these on my mountain bike, I might have been seriously injured. Other than that, I really liked the pedals, so I took a refund and splashed out for XTRs this time. Hopefully it was just a bad lot - but be careful with these!

I have created a new bike I call a "Cruzie" , (a fixie/beach cruiser hybrid) not only did these tires give me the classic look I was going for they are also the best made tire I have ever had on this bike and the option of 40psi ^ 60psi give you the ride your looking for. Love them!

Question: not the size it claims to be.

I am not a petite woman, but I got this in a larger size due to the fact that every brand is different.  The sizing on the chart stated that my measurements would fit this or is just a little too big which would work out.  When it arrived I discovered that the size it claims to be should have been a medium if not smaller.  I was very disappointed but decided to keep it because luckily I was able to incorporate it into my latest project.  It still irks me that the sizing is all wrong.  Or it might just come in one size no matter what and they figure the lacing should be big enough, which is a lie.  Either way, unless you are a smaller woman, say 130 lb's or under I wouldn't suggest getting this.

Brilliant and funny to boot. Charming illustrations

Question: Cute, but a chocking hazard for any child

Cute for adults. However, I purchased for my grandson to use with finger foods and this is a choking hazard.  It is so tiny it's a choking hazard for any child and should not be listed for their use. It needs to be much, much larger to use with any child under 10.  Disappointed that it is recommended for young children on the Amazon site. I threw them out.

Matt 'Down and Dirty' rocked my socks off! ...Among other things, obviously.

Ms. Tessa Bailey has out done herself with her latest in the Line of Duty series, and here I thought these books couldn't get better! Even thought Staking His Claim is the fifth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone but, there's always a but, if you don't want to miss out on some really hot NYP menand some dirty talk and some of the best love scenes that I've read in like EVER, I recommend you to read them like yesterday!

I'm sure I'll be reading ANYTHING that Ms. Tessa Bailey writes in the future!

Question: The reason why I gave it one star is because of extremely poor installation instruction with respect to electrical connection

I bought this blower for my house, to be installed with 30" Broan Vent hood. The blower turned out to be a lot bigger than I expected (my fault, should have checked dimensions before buying it) and because of this, it's installation would have being a lot more complicated than I planned.

The reason why I gave it one star is because of extremely poor installation instruction with respect to electrical connection. The manual says (page #3, see this manual on Broan website):

5. Bring electrical wiring through the hole in the wiring box and secure it according to local codes.
6. Make the electrical connections with the proper con- nector for the type of wire being used. Connect black to black, white to blue, and green or bare wire to grounding screw.

If you will follow these instructions, you will end up connecting this blower directly to 120v and it will be always on. I suspect this blower has to be connected to Broan vent hood (which has fan controls, quite nasty controls by the way) and then vent hood should connect to 120v. None of this is mentioned in Broan manual - what a shame.

Besides, I do not believe the claim that this blower reduce noise. There are fans on the market that spin silently, though there will still be noise coming from the air movement. So unless this blower will be off all the time (meaning no air flow will be generated), I do not see how it can reduce the noise.

I ended up sending both - vent hood and blower back. I bought 30" Vent-A-Hood with double blowers and I am extremely happy with it.
Installation was a lot easier that it would have being for Broan blower, fans are silent - only sound of air flow can be heard (not too loud at all). 600 cfm (they claim it is 900cfm equivalent ) turned out to be more than enough for me. Vent-A-Hood quality of the steel and controls is a lot better than Broan VH (a lot harder to leave finger prints on it).

I like this little car charger. It fits fine in my car's outlet (though you may have to pry the metal things up a bit for a more snug fit). Has a nice look and phone fits snugly in the adjustable frame. Downside is they didn't test it for phones (like my HTC G2) that charge on the side instead of the bottom, so if you want to charge a side charging phone while you are driving (useful especially if you are using the phone for GPS), feed the cord through the side of the mount and plug in phone. Sit phone in mount (won't be touching bottom) and squeeze mount to snug the phone. Works just fine. It would have been nice if they product tested it, but for a cheap car charger/mount, it works fine. My fiance liked it so much (despite the fit issue) that I am buying one for him as well.

Question: Taylor slim glass scale

It arrived in 3 days - great delivery service. I was so excited to order this but hence I'm disappointed in the product
The manual is something to be desired.  It really doesn't explain the way to tara out the weight of the dish.  My sweet potatoes when putting in the food number say's it has over 1200 carbs(3oz potato)  in it which doesn't match the Mayo Clinic numbers. I now know how that lady on Big losers lost her weight if I had to use the carb count on the potato I would only have taken a bite and my carb would be satisfied for the meal.  The numbers are very hard to see they are not bright enough and so it's seems like twice as much work  to use then my old weight watchers scale that is 25 yrs old(you know the one with the bucket on top of the weight scale).  I'd return but the cost of shipping doesn't make it feasible. So I will make the best of it.  I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong as  like I said the small manual doesn't give great directions.  If your looking for something to really help this scale isn't the one.  I'm so confused that the only thing we use it for is ounces in weighting out our food.  I'm disappointed.  If there is someone out there that can help explain it better or the maker has a better book to send my way.  Please do so and then I will review it again.

Love it so much, do not want to part with this from my collection!

No issues, holds it's charge great.  Have used it tailgating many times at 49er games to plug and play the music.  After the last tailgate charged it up full and put it away in the garage.  8 months later pushed the button on the unit that checks the charge and it was still at "high".  A good item to buy that can give you some peace of mind...can jump your battery, air up your tire, or provide a lot of power during an outage if needed.

Question: This book moved me from my comfort zone

I have read many books on procrastination, but this is the best. In a logical way, Dr. Fiore explains why we procrastinate, what payoffs we gain and how to overcome inertia.  He is a master in productivity engineering.  I recommend this book highly.  I also recommend Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self to learn how to make the best choices and Getting Things Done to organize yourself and eliminate stress.

I am incredibly biased because i love Nick Cave, but over all it didn't really inspire me or make me feel something like Nick normally does.

This makes a great read aloud in the elementary classroom.  The illustrations are captivating and help tell the story as much as the words do.  I think this book will grab the kids' attention.

Question: Not Just For English as Second Language

This book is awesome and I think that adults and kids will love it.  Like the the reviewer before me, this book would be enjoyed by English as a second language people - and, I'd add everyone!!
This story is FUNNY and well written.

Checking out my backlist of books by Suzanne Enoch and decided to read this one yet again.  In many ways it's a fun read about an extremely arrogant duke who has a jaded view of women and life.  Called upon by one of his relatives in West Hampshire to come and assist him get his finances and property in order, Greydon Brakenridge, the Duke of Wycliffe, decides that one of the first orders of business is to raise the rent on the local finishing school for young ladies aka "Miss Grenville's Academy."

Grey is a big "Know-it-All" but he soon learns he has met his match with Miss Emma Grenville, Head-Mistress and owner of the Academy.  The dialogue between the two is very well written.  Once Grey becomes involved with the young women from the school, it is soon obvious to the reader, he has a big heart after all - he only needed some cuties to reawaken his soul.  I actually enjoyed the interaction between Grey and the young girls more than Grey's and Emma's love story.

One caveat:  I notice that Enoch has a lot of latitude with what she allows her heroes. For example, when Greydon visits New Hamshire to stay with his relatives, he brings along a group of friends - among them, one of his current bed partners - a young woman who is considered good ton?  Is it just me, or is this going against most of the rules of acceptability?

Question: Great for underweight cats

My cat has had serious problems over the last few years with gum/dental problems, and lost quite a bit of weight in the process of diagnosing and treating him. After we got the infection cleared up, his appetite was still shaky due to his association of food with pain - he was even unable to eat canned food without screaming until we got his teeth removed and the infection cleared up. My vet recommended mixing a scoop of this in with his foods and a cup or so of water to entice his appetite. It amazingly worked like a charm. He's back up to his normal 13 lb self, his coat is glossy and soft again, and his eyes are bright. Even though he's 12, he's playing like a kitten again. I know that resolving the infection had quite a bit to do with that, but if we weren't able to get him eating again, it would still be a long battle ahead.

Make sure to get your cat's teeth cleaned on a regular basis - I've had 2 so far that have had this same issue, and it's a nasty infection to get rid of :(

We ordered this Vornado Heater through Amazon.com. The Vornado arrived promptly, we took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it works like a champ! Outstanding. Just set your temperature, and the Vornado will keep the room  at that temperature. It's quiet, compact, extremely easy to use (just plug it in, set the temp). Highly recommended.
