Question: Audioengine D1 Premium 24 Bit DAC

This DAC created a noticeable improvement in the listening quality of my CDs. It is quite evident in the newer CD issues. There is also better clarity on older CDs that lack the benefit of the newer recording technology. The best evidence I can share is the difference in listening to the recordings of jazz guitarist
Barney Kessell with and without using this DAC.

These are the most comfortable headphones I've worn. Very quality built. The only drawback I've had is the volume control doesn't seem to work right. I have to fiddle with it a lot to get it to register I'm trying to change the volume.

Question: Wouldn't want to use the Rode NTG3 shotgun mic without this

Loving the Rode Blimp! We're using this with a Rode NTG3 mic in the field for a documentary. It's sturdy, collapsable, and has been working out great for us.

This is the best bang for the buck rod out there in my opinion. It is better than any rod in its price range that I have found and competes with rods twice its price.

Question: What a disappointed experience

I got this wagon one month after I order it. Then I learned that the fabric is not included. I went back to read the description again and it tells that its not included, but not well enough (almost in between the lines). All images is shown with the fabric (roof).
It also tells that the wagon fits the American girl doll "18. That is NOT true. The legs are sticking out over the edge in the front, so the doll DOES NOT FIT THE WAGON, but on the images on amazon the doll have a dress that cover that problem.
The clips for the wheels are hanging loose so I had to wrap tape around all 4 so they stay in place.
I don't know where I can get the fabric for the roof, so here I am lost again, and my daughter is sad. And it was surprising that the wagon came in peaces so I had to sample it my self. And by the way, one screw were missing... I can't give this seller more than one star unless the person who sold me this product fix the problem.
What a disappointed experience.

The material was not what I expected, far cheaper/plastic like material and the photo is just a piece of paper inside the box. Not the quality I expected of a Precious Moments item at all!

Question: Added Gel Seal to Make spinning more comfortable

I have been an indoor cyclist for many years and I have never felt the need for a gel seat.  Recently increased by spinning to 5-6 times a week, and I decided to purchase a gel seat.  Very happy with this seat from Domain Cycling.  Makes spinning a little easier with a comfy seat.  Great product at a great price.

Gift for my young grandson. "Grandma how did you know, this is just what my bike needed." He told me. It is pretty neat to watch, when he rides by.

The device only updates every minute or so.....if you want wind speed....you get a picture of the past.

The worst part is the unit died just a few weeks beyond the return period.

Now it is going to the landfill.

I have tried two or three others in the same price range....they are all junk.

Unfortunately cheap price equals junk.....as always  too good to be true is.....too good to be true.

Next time I will go for the best....whichever that it....but they cost in the $500 range and they don't get that great of reviews either.

But....this product is junk.

Question: Nice Step Foward For Music

I'm seeing a few negative reviews here which is very contrary to my experience with this album.

First off, I had never heard a Zedd song before this purchase. I'd heard the name before and decided to pull the trigger as I was looking for some new music to listen to while taking a break from making my own. This album really hit the spot for me. After a couple of weeks of listening to it I went ahead and purchased Clarity because the general consensus seems to be that it is better than this. False. This album is much more mature and focused than Clarity and is much more contemplative. Zedd ventures into the realm of the 'concept album' here and he did a pretty good job of it, much better than what I think he was trying to do with Clarity.

I'm assuming that since there are so few reviews here Zedd might actually read this (I would). Your album is taking the music of our generation in the right direction. From what I can find about your inspiration and background you have a decent understanding of the history of music and applied your vision for the future of music to the direction of your album. Regardless of how long electronic music has been around, it has yet to be fully captured in the same way that popular music has in the history of music at large. I don't believe we've entered the 'classic rock' era of electronic music yet, in the next 10-20 years I think it will really take its most meaningful form. This album here is a serious step in the right direction. I love the way it flows from one song to the next, particularly near the end of the album. I also like the way not all of the songs fit the EDM mold, like the song True Colors, which fits perfectly in the context of the album.

I grew up playing classical music (violin, harp, piano) and recently delved into electronic when I suddenly realized it is the future of music. I appreciate how Zedd has applied the principles of classical music to this album, I think he can even do better next time based on the musical structure improvements between this album and Clarity. I'm only a year into my electronic composition journey and have a lot to learn, check out https://soundcloud.com/handel-5 to hear my take so far on the classical to electronic journey (all free downloads).

Anyways, if anyone is on the fence about this one, just go ahead and buy it. It is best enjoyed when listened to in its entirety in a relaxed setting.

I purchased this book for my Kindle Fire.  I really like the story and the message, but I was disappointed that any of the media clips (videos and music) were not supported by the Kindle Fire I have.  That's why I cannot give it 5 starts because I couldn't fully appreciate the book in its entirety.

Question: Great pouch for Sony mirrorless batteries, great material. Wish it came with a lanyard.

This is great as it is good for Sony A7 series and A6000 series batteries. Not just for go pro / action cam batteries.
You can store also some memory cards. Enough for a day of shooting. I have the 4 battery version as well for more demanding days.

I do not need 10 memory cards on a shoot, having a single pouch for a few batteries and cards is great.

I took one star off because it does not come with a useful lanyard  / cord with clip that is important to secure the pouch to belt loops or inside a bag. Many memory card wallets come with a lanyard, probably it would cost a few cents to the company to add that.

Also the business card pocket it is  tight to use for spare business cards as taking them out takes effort, but works great to show the pouch's owner info (nice feature).

Materials are very good and strong, price was right, colors are nice. It woudl be great if there were 2 color options, maybe to differentiate fresh and used batteries / cards.

Surprisingly bright for such a little light. Added one to my keyring and another to the dog leash. Very handy!

Question: Description is misleading

This is book one in the Fitzjohn Mystery series.  Naturally, I thought Fitzjohn would play a central role in the book, but that wasn't the case.  The book description is a little misleading on this one.  A university professor is killed and it is his brother, James, that launches the relentless pursuit for the killer, not Fitzjohn. In fact, most of Fitzjohns case is a compilation of evidence and information gathered by James.  This surprised me, given that Fitzjohn is described as invaluable to the department and is specifically requested to postpone his vacation to take this case.

If you pretend this is not part of a series and don't expect Fitzjohn to do anything, then the story itself is okay.  I liked that it was set at a university and there was an interesting cast of characters.  The mystery didn't really have any twists, rather just moved in a straight line right to the killer.

Blade itself was ok...listing was miss leading.
seller did make good on sale however

Question: The five album/CDs covers the best of B

The five album/CDs covers the best of B, S & T with great sound and at a great price.

The title is a bit of an overstatement, but I suppose The Big Book of Light, Frothy, Pretty Good Quotes wouldn't have the same impact. This is still a fun book. Byrne sometimes tries a bit too hard to be clever, and I particularly wish that when quoting tv shows or movies he showed the courtesy of citing that actual scriptwriter.
But these are quibbles. For about a half-cent per quote this is a good deal. There's something fun on every page, and the organizational approach of allowing one topic to flow into another related topic allows this to flow much better than other similar books (an index still lets you find particular quotes on demand).
If you enjoy this, Laurence Peter's Quotation collection is a somewhat higher quality work with the same sort of attitude.

Question: This amazing woman from Carlsbad

What a journey! IN MOTION has taken Lynn to many challenging situations.  This amazing woman from Carlsbad, CA is a survivor and beyond She founded and ran a successful company which her family now runs.  She goes one step further...along the path she has inspired the lives of many family members and friends.  She frequently turns a negative situation into one with a positive outcome.

The story of the family of a 9-11victim was very heartwarming.  This is only one of the many such episodes which make this book an inspirational read.  The memoir is a great tribute to Lynn's life.  I highly recommend the read.

I love this book. I purchased it specifically for his Tacos de Carne Asada recipe. I'll be in San Diego soon and I've already booked an excursion to Baja California to eat those same tacos (that he writes about) at Tacos el Yaqui in Rosarito. I can't wait!

ok for the money, but NEAR ZERO BASS Response, and weak, light construction. As far as the sound range...meeehhh leaves a lot to be desired.

Works well and I appreciate the small size.  I also like that it comes w/ the male-male adapter.  Only problem is that the battery doesn't last super long.  Doesn't take too long to charge it though, so that's good.

Question: Good content, but kind of a slog

Some Scrum from the editorial team would have been good. Sutherland presents what appears to be a truly revolutionary approach to managing teams, but is awfully long-winded. There are some digressions I would have removed (not because they are not interesting, but because they get in the way of the core processes of the method, which I am still trying to wrap my head around. I am still slogging my way through the book. I am about to skip to the appendix.

Way too easy to figure out what was coming in the plot.  Had I not been on vacation I would not have read this book.  It needed about 40% of the text edited out.  Way too plodding.

Question: A Great Study in the Fruit of the Spirit for Busy Moms

Katie's focus in this study is the Fruit of the Spirit and taking off our "Super Mom" capes to put on the Spirit, because in our own strength we will fail. She does this in short devotions that take approximately ten minutes, figuring that all moms have ten minutes they can find in the day to spend with the Lord. Personally, I like to fit my devotions in before the children wake up in the morning, but everyone is encouraged to find a time that works for them.
This devotional is 25 short pages but it sure packs a whole lot of punch for your spiritual life. Each Fruit of the Spirit is focused on for 2-5 days, with the average being 3 days. Three days to really look at each Fruit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness (or kindness), goodness, faith, meekness and temperance) and how to let it shine in our busy lives. I also love that focusing on the fruit in order is helping me to finally memorize Galatians 5: 22-23.
I love that Katie uses various ways to really dig into God's word and into our hearts. I do have to admit there were a couple of times it took me more than ten minutes to finish the devotion because there was more reading and writing than on other days. This, however, was not a huge deal. Each day there was encouragement and challenge. Challenge in answering some questions while digging deep into my heart, and the challenge of remembering to live out what I was learning.
I love that she offers a free companion workbook to download and print off, however, it is not a necessity, as you could also answer use a notebook.
This has been a great study and one I highly recommend.
I received a pdf copy of Putting on the Spirit as a part of the Launch Team, this did not in any way influence my review.

I am not much of a reader, but it was hard for me to put this book down.  I made myself put it down after each chapter to pray and reflect on what was written and apply it to my life.  My wife read it after I did and she thought it was great also and understood why it ministered to me.  I definitely recommend this to everyone no matter where you are at in life.

Question: Godzilla vs Biollante definitely makes for one of the better in the Toho series.

Very pleased with visual quality. And best of all. I can watch it in the original Japanese. Dubbing can make any movie sound cheap and unapproachable.

I am fans from Hong Kong.  I could remember all young people loved to watch the Music Video of "Beat It", nobody would get away when this MV was broadcasting on the T.V.  We in Hong Kong all loved this MV, most of people here would impersonate his dancing; wearing the pant with disclosing the white sock like him.  Everybody nomatter you listen his songs or not, you MIGHT know WHO Michael Jackson was.  Michaelmania was spread over the world at that time.

Needless to say, "Thriller" is the essential album you must buy, most of the songs in this album are great and popular.  Of course, I love the most is "Billie Jean", but others are also great, such as

"Wanna Be Starting Something", "Human Nature" and etc.... I almost love all.

This album was a milestone of Michael to be the Superstar all over the world.  I do not need to talk too much, I think all people know this.  I think most of the people should have this CD at home.

Michael, LOVE YOU FOREVER, You are the greatest Artist in this earth.  Nobody can replace you.

Question: You will have to watch it more than once and laugh more each time

I defiantly would say that this is a must have for your home collection. It is too hilarious to just rent and watch once. I am sure that many people can relate to the lack of enthusiasm about their job or the many office obstacles that may get in the way of them effectively doing their job.
The movie starts off with Peter on his way to work. He is in slow moving traffic, which in turn causes him to be late. While he is in traffic the camera goes to the right of him and shows an elderly gentleman with a walker walking faster than the vehicles are moving. This is one of the many funny things that stand out. Make sure to keep an eye out for Milton. He plays sort of a hero to the main character Peter and the rest of his co-workers. Milton's incoherent mumbling about his red Swingline stapler, lack of receiving his paycheck, not receiving his piece of cake and the location of his desk show the inconsistent policies that Initech portray.
Again I recommend this movie to everyone because it will keep you laughing the entire time.

I am a voracious reader, but cannot remember ever re-reading a book, so that was unsual for me. The first time I read it for the story. The second time I wanted to immerse myself in the author's amazing gift for description of people, places, emotions and environs. It did not disappoint on either reading. I am awed by Mr. Eng's tale and talent.

Question: Scholarly Work, Revolutionary Ideas

This is a well researched work that among other things clearly explains the nuts and bolts (and lack thereof) behind what has long been promoted as Evolutionary 'Science'.
Harding examines the same evidence but with fresh eyes and a truly open mind, presenting a thought provoking altenative theory regarding the interconnected history of Homosapiens, Neanderthals and Cromagnons on the earth.
Lost one star at this time due to proof reading issues that I understand the author is currently working on resolving. But if you can get past this hurdle and appreciate the content of the book for what it actually is then you should be challenged and possibly very impressed.

If you like social interchange this is a great book about the settlement of Haiti  that was very informative about the culture.

Question: There's no Linux software on the CD.

I was under the impression there was a GUI for this on the CD for Linux. Since this apparently contains a FTDI device, it should show up as a serial port under Linux. Unfortunately, there's not (yet) a quick method to just dump codes.

Question: A lovely tale with more to come.

I noticed several reviews mentioned that there was no ending .This is the type of book you savour the characters. They are telling you their story . I look forward to the next chapters ,books ,of their stories. A lovely tale for when you just want to escape with a book for awhile.

I am hoping that this was a semi-poor translation to English as the phrasing for many of the actions and descriptions was quite poor. The plot was fairly lackluster with almost no surprises as the audience was in on the secret from the beginning. I question why these two characters would act so outside their norms, but I guess it was fate.

Question: The most comprehensive study of Cronenberg's movies

In my large collection of books on David Cronenberg this is the most important one. Beard shuns unreasonable or extremely biased attitudes (like radical feminism) - which does not mean he ignores them: on the contrary, he eagerly engages in polemic discussion, often incorporating some notions specific for various ideologies into his own discourse. Doing so, he performs a comprehensive analysis of Cronenberg's films, seen both as separate and intertextual pieces of art. It is really amazing to see how he manages to combine the complexities of academic approach with the utmost clarity of message.

This is partially due to the structure of the book, which also makes it extremely easy to use - movies are discussed in separate chapters, divided into smaller sections, devoted to the most important themes and motifs present in each of them.

For all those reasons, Beard's book is not only a valuable and helpful source for all kinds of academic discussion, but also a great reading for all Cronenberg fans.

A must for any Lovecraft fan.  Especially when you're tripping over the esoteric stuff or don't' always understand the background he was refferign too.

I enjoyed this book.  The plot was a bit more complex than the others that I have read in this series, but I do like the cast of characters.

A hauntingly beautiful reflection on family, legacy and what it means to be a women.  Presented as (often) tiny vignettes, this is a quick read exploring Terry Tempest Williams' personal history, our cultural memory of femininity in the modern American west, and the physical landscape of her native Utah.  A must read in modern women's writing.

This turned out to be SUPER cute! The colors were very vibrant and it was a great addition to my son's birthday party dcor!

I ordered a couple of these bundle kits in early December to give to my nephews (6 and 4) as Christmas gifts. I've ordered things from overseas before and knew I was cutting it close, but was hoping that it'd arrive by (at least) Christmas Eve. I was pleasantly surprised to have received the kit within 10 days of ordering which, if you've ever ordered anything from Japan or China, is UNHEARD OF. I am extremely pleased by how quickly it showed up, my sister is extremely pleased with the fact that it works as a very intuitive and creative time killer outside of electronic devices, and my nephews are extremely excited to get to eat their work. I only gave it 4 stars because I wasn't allowed to eat any of the treats. (Lol) Will definitely want to order these again in the future.

Question: This is my FAVORITE flip flop of all time

This is my FAVORITE flip flop of all time. I have been wearing this particular one for about 6 years or so now. I was a little disappointed when it came in and it was 1 size too small. I can wear this shoe from 5 in the morning until midnight. I only recommended that you order 1 size larger.

UPDATE: June 27th, 2016

I'm changing my original review as with light use the seam came apart between the fingers.

After I'd fixed that, the seam on a fingertip came undone.

Based on these experiences I can no longer recommend these.

ORIGINAL REVIEW

Love these. Wish I'd found them sooner!

Question: Nice to have some episodes, but pricey for what you get

My son is a big ben 10 alien force fan, and he loves this dvd. The episodes are great, but this dvd seems to be a rip-off in my opinion. Why divide a season up into multiple dvds? This is a bit expensive for only 5 episodes.

I am not sure why it has so many 4-5 star reviews. The stories seem like they are missing pieces. Like jokes with no punch lines. I am left wondering what the point was.

Question: Durable and comfortable cover for my iPhone 5S at reasonable cost

Provided as a tester, but finding it to be a fantastic addition to my iPhone 5S.
No issues with the Touch ID and works with my Belkin Power Case as well as Grovemade's wooden frame case.
Slight issues with Lunatik's Seismic case as the rubber edge wraps more than other cases over the front of the phone. Still fits, but distorts the rubber case enough to be distracting. Long-term use will probably permanently stretch out the case. Buyer beware.
I especially like how the edges are finished with smooth radius, similar in feel to the iPhone 6, but inset about 1 mm from the outer edge to clear edges of cases.
I've used plenty of plastic screen covers in the past and they start off great , but inevitably end up with deep scratches on the areas I tend to swipe most. Never returning to a non-glass cover again.
The true test of the product is whether I would buy another, and it passes with flying colors. I am buying a bunch.

If protection is your thing, this is the case for you. That is what I thought in the beginning too, but overtime I discovered that although it provided protection, there were a lot of trade-offs.

Cons:
1) It is very bulky. Even if I want to go to somewhere with as little belongings as possible, I feel like I need to bring a purse with me just to hold this thing!
2) The headphone "flap" is not aligned with the headphone jack.
3) Repeated removal of the case overtime ends up ripping the rubber edges of the case, especially at the top corners.

Conclusion: If you are the clumsiest person in the world, this is the case for you. However, if you are seeking good-enough protection and a more minimal feel, there are plenty of other choices out there.

Question: I love it! It fits better then my old bluetooth ...

I love it! It fits better then my old bluetooth and it has the ability to listen to music! I am afraid that after a while my ear will be sore but that is usually the case with most bluetooths for me. It did take me a little longer to pair because most you just turn on your bluetooth and the option on your phone but you also have to press the button again on the bluetooth to pair. It does tell you this in the instructions if you actually read them! lol

The concept and idea are here but I find it to be a giant pain to wrap and unwrap my earbuds all the time. It's not the easiest to get them in and out of in my opinion. I'm keeping it, but I'll probably look for something a bit more simple.

Question: How to pick the right attorney for your situation

I am so moved by how Justine Gronwald shares her own personal nightmare, and bravely turns adversity into a strong desire to help others avoid the same horror that she faced. The information throughout this book is extremely helpful, and a great resource to have on hand if ever the need for an attorney arises. I got many takeaways and I'm sure others will to.

ULAK, in my opinion, makes very good cases.  I have purchased this brand for my cellphones, with good luck, so I purchased this brand for my tablet.  So far, this is a very good case and I would purchase another one.

Question: Twisted Obsession About a Movie about a Twisted Obsession

Ever Since I saw this movie back in College, I have seriously LOVED this movie!  The cast is excellent (Bill Paxton, Art Garfunkle, Julian Sands, & Sharylin Fenn), The plot convoluted & twisted (Is it live or a dream), & yet something that I think most of us understand (Which is the someone we REALLY wish would love us back).
  Let's face it, this movie is really an S&M thing that goes extreamely awry!!!  While I think many people (Myself included) would go a LOOOOOOOOOONG way to show someone how much we cared for them, this movie shows an extreame of what someone would do to show how much they love someone (And it's pretty extreame!!!).
  Julian Sands plays this role eloquently & Sherylinn Finn plays an excellent Bitch who just refuses to see how much Sand's character loves her.
  If you haven't seen it, make it a point to see it at least once!

Oh George, You ride a pony don't you. You like to ride ponies, but you don't like dirty girls in the big apple. As movies go, it's a movie in a movie and daughters are sad sad monkeys. Oh Yeah! Not since Pretty Baby has  the world been so ha-cha-cha. George C. Scott is a sly fudgey.

Question: Great read!  Fun and compelling...

Just finished reading this book, and as someone who grew up in the '80's, I thought it was great.  A fun, puzzle-filled novel with a good pace that weaves '80s pop culture in perfectly.  I now want to read it to my kids (although I may have to censor a few words/parts ;-))

This book took you into the pages from the very beginning. All characters had their own back stories that needed to be told so you would understand them in the intertwined story. Couldn't put it down.

Great case but makes it difficult to use the phone with most windshield mounts due to the added depth.  When traveling, which is more valuable: not having to carry a wallet or using your phone for navigation in an unfamiliar place?

I gave it 3 stars because there isn't really that much grip to the case, its like a hard kind of rubber/plastic (the black edges) with that being said it slides off surfaces, although this might change with time, this is what i received, for the price though i cannot complain and the color is very nice.

Question: Only Picoult disappointment . . . so far

As a long-time high school English teacher, literature lover, and Jodi Picoult fan, I felt that I  must say something about this Picoult disappointment.  I've read almost all of Picoult's books and have loved most of them.  They provide great springboards for discussion among my friends and family who are also Picoult fans.  We've spent many hours discussing the merits of Picoult's writing style and subject matter and have delved into topics of great controversy, thinking about things in ways we've never thought before.  We've talked about issues that we would never have discussed without Picoult's urging us to by writing about such controversial topics.  As a high school teacher, I was particularly touched by Nineteen Minutes, a novel through which Picoult made me see in a different light the issues surrounding a school shooting.

But I'm afraid Picoult has let me down this time. In her previous novels, Picoult's characters hold varied political, social, and theological ideas and ideals, but I have never been sure which way Picoult herself leans.  That is definitely not the case in Sing You Home.  This time, Picoult's political agenda shows way too much!!  Her characters usually possess great depth and dimension, but this time, they are all "flat," and one-dimensional, defined by their position on gay rights.  The Christians, in particular, are so flatly drawn that they are just "stock" characters.  The one exception to the flatness occurs in Liddy, but in this case, Liddy engages in a behavior at one point in the novel that defies the very one-sidedness of her.  It's totally unbelievable that Liddy would do this.
The novel reads as if Picoult did the research (which she usually does incredibly well) on the political and social leanings of the gay couple and the characters in their camp, but absolutely no research on what true Christians are really like and instead relied on negative stereotypes.  I'm amazed sometimes that when people are faced with others who do not hold their same viewpoints and beliefs and values that they label the others as closed-minded, and, yet, the people who share their viewpoints are open-minded.  They scream about intolerance and are some of the most intolerant people in the world.  Zoe falls in that category.  She is probably the most intolerant character in the whole novel.  Her vehemence toward Liddy and ALL Christians is intolerance personoified.

One final note about the book that has nothing to do with Picoult's political agenda is this:  Lucy.  First of all, as intelligent readers, we figured out who Lucy is, who her parents are, early in the novel, and yet Picoult treated the subject as if we were supposed to be surprised when she revealed it.  Secondly, the Lucy storyline was left as a major loose end.  Picoult usually ties things up better than that.

Although this novel was a huge disappointment, I shall look foward to her next one.  I enjoy an author who makes me think and gives me fodder for discussion with friends.  I just hope she won't disappoint me again.

I'm new to James Patterson's novels. This is my 2nd one and I pretty much loved it. I didn't give 5 stars only because I figured out a couple twists and turns, but there are plenty I did not. If you love Patterson's books, you will love this one also.

Question: the more I like them. There's a hint of sesame and soy ...

These have an interesting taste and texture.  The more I've eaten them, the more I like them.  There's a hint of sesame and soy sauce/tamari.  They are an acquired taste, I think, but I'm glad I gave them a try.  They are a healthy alternative to pretzels.  Warning:  If you have sensitive or loose teeth, there are some that have been extremely  hard and taken some extra chewing/crunching.  I think it could be a problem for people with crowns, bridges, sensitive or loose teeth.

In this whimsical autobiography, Yasumi, a 10-year-old basset hound reveals her philosophy in dealing with her humans. Conceited, spoiled, yet fiercely loyal to her charges, she recounts important events in her life, often with a mixture of humor and insight. Her adventures and misunderstandings are many, among them: walking her family and encountering a large pair of aggressive Dalmatians, bath time conflicts, a doctor visit, and my favorite, the purloined pies. Yasumi found six pies of various flavors cooling overnight to be eaten at a family gathering for Thanksgiving. She felt it only fair to sample each and every pie. But she was very thoughtful--she left enough of each pie for others to enjoy! A special mention should be made about the marvelous illustrations in the volume.

A fun book not only for owners of those eccentric basset hounds, but for all dog lovers!

It is a little darker than most of the polarizers I am used to so I have to crank up my ISO. I'm also not quite as happy with the warming aspect of this filter as I thought I would be, but it does have a nice effect on some really bright days. The quality of the filter itself is good and there's no noticeable effect on the sharpness of my images. I just don't see myself using it as I often as I would a typical polarizing  filter. My recommendation would be to buy this if you just wanted a more specialized effect once in awhile, not if you needed a good polarizing filter for general use.

If you ever wanted to learn the words to a hypothetical song, and learn the way in which it should be sung, you might just order a recording of it by Waring and the Pennsylvanians.  You can always understand the words.

Of how many records in your collection can you make that statement?  The Pennsylvanians, tutti and solo, are just clear as a bell and everything sensitively sung.

Question: great idea - only retainer I use now

keeps my retainer above my lifejacket when I am sailing.  My head is swiveling around a lot when I am sailing, and my old retainer would get caught in the top of the PFD and pull my glasses to the side of my face when I turned.  I hated that.  I couldn't see and the glasses would get smeared with sunscreen.  These solved my problem.  When I get in the car and forget to put the angle on the retainer down, the head rest pushes the rigid retainer and slide my glasses down my nose, but all I have to do angle the retainer down and that is fixed.  When I am reading and don't need my glasses, they hang around my neck.  This is the only retainer I use anymore.

Does what it says on the tin.  I bought a pair for xmas, and they have worked out perfectly.

Not made of bean bag material. Has a bad chemical smell that does not go away. Filled with cut up chunks of trash. Amazon customer service was great about getting me a refund without having to try and shove it back in a box.

My cat will not near it since purchase..going on one week will try moving it to a different location to what will happen?

Question: Seems like it will protect the carpet but it is stiff ...

Seems like it will protect the carpet but it is stiff and slick plastic.  there are no nubs on the bottom so it moves easily and it comes folded and doesn't want to lay flat.  Also it slightly blocks the center console from sliding back to the kids.

Just what we needed for a new puppy who was still teething. Held up very well through 6 months of heavy chewing.

Question: Excellent Perspective on Samurai Bravery and Etiquette

This book features sayings and anecdotes from an aging Samurai who died around 1700.
It is a quick and entertaining read, and offers great  perspective both on the individual who wrote it, and on the general theory  of being a samurai.
There is an obvious sense of loss in many of the  passages which comment on how things in contemporary society (of the 1700s)  are so different from years past. This book, intentionally or not, captures  the spirit of those older days, and serves both as a manual for younger  samurai, and as a historical document for people who are interested in  "The Way of the Samurai" today.
In his excellent introduction,  the translator makes the very relevant point that this book is not a  rigorous philosophical treatise, at least not in the way that Western  scholars would define it. Instead, it is a collection of stories and  phrases about a certain way of living. It doesn't hold up to scientific  cross-examination (the author contradicts himself frequently), but it  shouldn't have to. Yamamoto gives the impression that if faced with a  philosophical attack on his "way", he would shrug his shoulders  and say, "Yes, but that doesn't change a thing." In other words,  his examples and aphorisms speak for themselves, and are not meant to  either exclude other points of view or force others into conformity.  Yamamoto even states that the Way he advocates is specific to his region of  Japan -- samurai of neighboring regions are free to develop their own  Ways.
The passages in the book usually focus on one of two topics:  bravery, or etiquette. Yamamoto offers a lot of advice on charging into  battle, seeking revenge, executing others, etc. The main thrust of most of  it is: the Samurai does not spend a lot of time thinking about killing his  enemy. He just rushes in and gets it over with. On matters of etiquette,  Yamamoto discusses the proper way to hold a Tea Ceremony, how to cover up a  yawn, how to pay attention to people you are talking to, and so on. One of  the charming aspects of this book is that right after discussing the  swiftest way to cut off someone's head, he'll discuss how to make yourself  look nice even if you have a hangover. This could be a result of the  editing, but it still makes for entertaining reading.
The other theme  that permeates almost every paragraph of the book is loyalty to one's  master. Yamamoto never tires of discussing the extremes that a samurai  should go to so that he may honor his master and show his loyalty. He gives  the example of a samurai who was being beaten by his master: during the  course of the beating, the master dropped his staff down a hill, so the  samurai immediately ran down to retrieve it, and return the staff to his  master so he could continue to be beaten. Of course, the ultimate act of  loyalty to one's master is to kill oneself after his death. Yamamoto spends  a great deal of time discussing various aspects of this tradition, and  regrets that his own master forbade him to commit suicide in such a  way.
The book reads very quickly (it took me about 4 hours), in part  because it is organized into brief paragraphs and anecdotes (much like a  book of sayings), and in part because the underlying material is almost  inherently fascinating. It gives a very complete picture of the state of  mind of an aging samurai, and depicts the world of the samurai as it  existed in the 17th century.
The translation flows very well, though I  cannot attest to its accuracy, and the translator includes a somewhat  useful glossary in the back of the book, as well as the introduction which  I mentioned. I should also mention, for the curious, that this is the  translation that Jim Jarmusch used as the source of his aphorisms in the  recent film "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai."

Question: Beautifully made and well worth the price

I bought a pair of these Jefferies socks for my best friends baby shower. I am using them on a diaper cake I am making for her. They are much nicer then I expected them to be. I cannot imagine how any baby could go with out a pair or two of these adorable socks/booties. I will definitely buy more should I have any other diaper cakes to make!

Takes a min to figure it out how to set it up, but once you learn it's pretty easy. Looks amazing and I would buy another in a heart beat.

Question: Worst jerky Ive ever had!!!

Absolutely disgusting!!! Couldnt get the taste out of my mouth!... took to work and no one there liked it either!

This was a promotional free item with purchase.  It's good, not great, good expiration date, average ingredients.  Ideally, we would mix our own trail snacks, and that costs more than the currently listed price.  For the ingredients in this mix, it should cost a lot less.

Question: Great for what I needed it for.

My dogs are afraid of gates (they had one fall down one time so don't like them). This is perfect to block them in a room or area for a while. The bigger dog did figure out how to push it aside if he REALLY wanted to get through so have had to put weights on the ends.

Works just as the ad says, very happy, will recommend to friends.

Question: Beautiful, tasteful, excellent value

These are very lovely (and see above) earrings which exceeded my expectations.  They are heavier than expected:  for those of you like me who never remember metric equivalents, it is 0.18 oz.  It doesn't sound like much, but these are not for women who have thin earlobes.  Again, however, these were a great value!

Case was delivered in a timely manner and was exactly as advertised. It is reasonably priced and meets or exceeds expectations. I recommend this to anyone considering a purchase.

Question: Good stand, but watch out for flying hardware!

This stand is compact and very adjustable.  We were generally happy with it until my son adjusted it to use and was struck by the spring loaded screw that holds two pieces of the stand together.  After 30 minutes locating the hardware we put it back together and tightened all the connections.  Be certain to keep the screws tightened or users could get hit in the face by small, spring-loaded pieces of hardware!

This case looks and feels steardy haven't tried an any drop tests and wouldn't  but I like it way it is .

Question: Just as true today as it was when it was published

I'm a teacher and I read this book years ago, shortly after it first came out.  At that time I was working in a school system that required either joining the NEA or paying almost the exact same amount of money to it and not having a say in it.  For two years, I mindlessly paid my dues and was a member.  Then, I decided to read the material I had been given by the NEA.  It was a 75-page, very fine print 8 1/2 x 11" book(let).  I read every word of it and was amazed at some of the thing the NEA was supporting.  Then I heard about this book on a radio program and when I read it, I saw that this man was pointing out the very things I had already seen.

The NEA is not a harmless group that merely wants the best for the education of our children.  The changes that are happening in education are part of an overall agenda and that agenda is NOT to produce the most intelligent and well-educated children we can.

If you are an educator today, please read this book!  Don't give your money mindlessly to this organization.  You expect your students to research their facts and you need to do the same yourself.  You owe it to yourself and the children you teach.  Joining the NEA is NOT the best way to educate our youth!

This author has excellent documentation for what he says.  It is well worth your time to read.  Even though it was originally published in the 80's, the NEA has only gotten worse.  (Did you know the NEA was sued a couple of years ago for misappropriation of funds?)

Once you read this, you'll wonder how intelligent people like teachers have been duped into thinking this is only a pro-education group.  (Did you know teachers are now referred to as "agents of change"?  After reading this book, you'll know why.)

Changed my entire outlook on how to manage and run my business. Wish I had read it 20 years ago!!

Question: dc cooper and silent force are showing no signs of losing their edge. this cd is killer

man i love silent force. dc cooper is to me one of the best vocalist out there and no one can sing like him. some other greats are lance king and john west. and alexander beyroot(spelled wrong) is a killer guitarist. if you like guitarist like manni schmidt of grave digger and viktor smolski of rage then you will love alex's playing. any way on to the songs. like the last album worlds apart this cd is extremely catchy and mellodic and full of crunchy riffs. worlds apart is one of my 10 favorite cds of all time and i did not think they would ever be able to make another album as good as it. this cd is not as good as worlds apart but is dang close. this cd is a force of its own and a killer come back. silent force have the ability to be one of power metals mainstays and i hope they put out alot more albums. some awesome ballads on this cd and some killer anthems. this cd is very diverse and full of memorable songs that catch you from the first listen and that is what i love about these guys, if it is a silent force album then i know right then that it is going to be awesome. so check this out and if you do not own worlds apart then you better get it. any metallian that loves catchy choruses and screaming guitars will without doubt love this and all of silent forces albums, hell get all 4 of their cd's. i some times wonder why the name of the band is silent force, it is a cool name but when their cds are in my player their is nothing silent about it. your friend in metal brandon whitson, 25 of north carolina

This was spell binding!! A perfect ending to this series. I couldn't put it down. Hope to see more of this type of book from Ms. Blackstock in the future. I would highly recommend it to any and all readers who like a good Christian based novel. It had mystery, a love story, and MUCH meaning in todays world.  Myrna Cullop Damascus, VA

Question: lightweight, nice display, works well

To me, this is somewhere between an iPad (or similar) and a laptop, having some of the advantages of each. It's as light and portable as an iPad, starts up very quickly, and takes a standard micro-USB charger(*), like most non-Apple smart phones. It has no spinning disk, no CD/DVD drive, no fan, so it is completely silent. If you're just browsing the web, reading email or facebook, watching videos, they are about the same. But if you are doing a significant amount of typing, the real keyboard is much more productive (you can touch-type rather than single-finger type). Yes, you can buy an external keyboard for the iPad (my wife has one), but that's not as nice as having an integrated keyboard.

One thing I really like is you don't get a mobile version of web pages -- you get the same version as on any standard windows or mac computer, since you're running a standard browser. Recently I was buying airline tickets and needing to look at my calendar and email at the same time, and it seems like doing such complex multi-tasking is easier on the chromebook than on a pad, although it may just be because that's what I'm used to.

Of course, the iPad has many apps for specialized uses. I am often at volleyball tournaments, and I see many coaches walking along the sideline tapping on an iPad to keep stats. This would be very clunky to do with a chromebook, even if there's an analogous chrome extension. But if you're sitting at a table or desk, or have it on your lap, and doing normal web stuff, the chromebook is excellent. I have never liked touchpads, but this one really works. I bought a mouse for my chromebook, but I don't use it, because the touchpad works so well. I would recommend not initially buying a mouse and giving the touchpad a chance.

Videos play very well, and the speakers, which are below the keyboard, are surprisingly clear and loud.

(*) One note on the charger. The chromebook comes with a 3A (15 watt) charger, which will also charge your smart phone, but the typical phone charger, at 1.5A or 2A or less, and will not charge the chromebook while you use it. The battery still drains, although the charger will make it drain more slowly. If you shut down the chromebook completely, the smartphone charger will charge it, but it can take a long time, even more than a day (I know this because I lost my chromebook charger for a while, but did get it back). Replacement chargers are expensive (around $50), so be careful not to lose yours.

I like it. Price was right and it does what it is suppose to. Has not broke on me yet.

Question: Terrible product. Got the skin and when I received ...

Terrible product. Got the skin and when I received it realized the printing was totally different than the image they advertised. I have other controllers with skins on them because I like my controllers to look different. So with that being said I know how to apply the skins and with this one they wouldn't stick at all around the joysticks and the way it went together wasn't formable. I had to use scissors just for it to line up around the joystick(on the one side that would actually stick down) all in all wouldn't recommend buying this unless you want to test your luck!

Sunglasses were as advertised.  A case was included with the glasses.  The zipper on the case worked maybe 3 times before failing.  Suggest that they either upgrade the case or just not include it.

I purchased 12 of these to help coordinate an arts festival.  It works just fine outside, however we did have trouble hearing people that were inside of buildings that were trying to communicate with people outside.

An excellent series.  Good mix of science and speculation, well drawn characters and fast paced action makes for an enjoyable read.

The potential story arcs have grown exponentially and I certainly hope to see this series continue.

Question: These are more like window clings than stickers so they don't really stick ...

These are more like window clings than stickers so they don't really stick on the page well. Cute idea but once you take them off the page they come on, storage is difficult.

Decal looks nice on my lap top.  It's been on for 1 month now with no problem.  However, to put the decal on the lap top required a step where you transfer the decal from its liner to a clear adhesive "contact" type sheet before attaching to lap top.  This sheet was too small to transfer the whole decal in one step.  Had to transfer in 2 steps which now you have to worry about properly aligning everything.  Because of this I give it 3 stars.

Question: Must, absolutely must read.

This is the second time
I have read the trilogy and it's even better the second time around. Love reading about a strong female. The girl on fire kicks butt.

Although this is not by any means a definitive look at the Holocaust, I found it the most effective presentation of its horrific effects on its victims (both direct and indirect).
It's amazing how well the comic book format works.  Rather than trivialize the Holocaust, it personalizes the impact of persecution and the camps.  I felt like I was drawn into the Spiegelman family.
While I'd recommend "Maus" to anyone, I think it would be particularly useful in providing students an understanding of what the Holocaust was like on a personal level.

Question: Fantastic Addition to Toy Box, But........

Fantastic value! I was finally able to get my daughter a Matt Smith Eleventh Doctor Who doll. It was on sale for $15! This made a wonderful Christmas gift.

Fun, articulated toy, and it has well made clothing. He is a little short for the Monster High and Barbie people my daughter has, but she loves him just the same. I just wish we could have found a shaved faced doll.

This doll is a little disturbing tho. His eyes seem to follow you. Also he was found off his shelf in the morning doing things around the house. He was grilling hot dogs on a Barbie grill with his Sonic Screw Driver. The Doctor also has been found with Lego instructions trying to build things. He was caught attempting to pry a mini TARDIS from my daughter's book light. He recently was found in the den riding my daughter's K-9 stuffed toy.

My 5 year old loves this. It was a bit of a pain to put together at 5 months pregnant but I managed to do it by myself relatively quickly. The spring elastics were a pain in the fingers by the end.

Excellent product. I love the Sistema food storage system and use them pretty exclusively for taking lunch to work. I got these to put yogurt in  or for cottage cheese and they are the perfect size for that. I bought two packages of these and need to buy more. The lids fit snug and they have not leaked.

These turned out to not be practical for what I had wanted.  They don't fit on a lot of things.  The bottom width and how much height it added to an item made it so they wouldn't fit on the shelf in my fridge door.  I did use one for my tube of craft glue.

Question: A Biblical-Gospel That Will "Tilt" the World

In many cases, the world today seems to mock Christianity, rather than marvel at it. Further, of all the ways to describe today's Christian-impact on the world, few would likely describe it as "turning the world upside down." Yet, as blogger/author Dan Phillips points out in his new book The World-Tilting Gospel (Kregel, 2011), that is precisely the description used of the early church's impact in Acts 17:6. So what is the difference? Why were believers in Acts demonstrating a "world-tilting" impact upon the world while those claiming to know Christ today seem more likely to be impacted by the world?

Describing the tendency of some to be more impacted by the world, than having an impact on the world, Phillips opines: "The world tilts them because of various barriers erected in their minds through exposure to bad teaching. A variety of false doctrines hold them back from enjoying the life to which God calls them in Jesus Christ. They bank on bad teaching, they're burdened by bad teaching, and they're bound by bad teaching." (18, emphasis original)

What then is the answer? Phillips gives a straightforward answer: "The greatest need of the church today is a strategic , full-orbed, robust, biblical grasp of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and its transformative implications. We don't need more glitz or glamour, better marketing  or programs, snazzier dcor or entertainment. We do need a whole-Bible grasp of the Gospel." (19, emphasis original) And a "whole-Bible grasp of the Gospel" is exactly what Phillips sets out to provide.

Phillips organizes his content in a form that is similar to the creation-fall-redemption-restoration paradigm, though not exactly the same. He labels his four "movements" "Who We Are," "What Has God Done for Us?" "How Do We Get In?" and "How Do We Get Going?" He ends with a chapter entitled "Culmination" wherein he seeks to show the practical implications of living out this whole-Bible Gospel.

Phillips writes with a style that is extremely engaging, while keeping his content both rich and biblical. At times he shows his depth of knowledge and experience in theology and the biblical languages, while still writing at a level that most people can grasp. He certainly does not lay the theological cookies on the floor, but at least puts them on the lower shelves.

If someone is going to find a problem with Phillips, it will likely have to do with his heavily-Calvinistic bent. It is no surprise that three of his endorsements were written by John MacArthur, Phil Johnson and Ligon Duncan, all well-known Calvinists (or, as they might prefer, those who hold to the "Doctrines of Grace"). If you are reformed in your theological perspective, you will likely only find cause to celebrate this book in its entirety. If you are allergic to certain petals on the theological TULIP, you will still find much in this book to affirm (in fact only chapters 7 & 8 are likely to cause you to need a good shot of the "whosoevers"). In fact, as one who is not a 5-pointer, I found much that challenged me to pursue greater faithfulness in my walk with Christ; particularly in the section on progressive sanctification.

What we can all affirm is that much of evangelicalism today has embraced a pseudo-gospel that is not biblical. It should not surprise us, then, that those who are broadly labeled as "Christians" today are having little true Gospel-impact on the world, and, in many cases are actually being impacted by the world. I believe Phillips has given us a book that can serve both as a wake-up call and a training aid. It will hopefully awaken true Christians to the need to live and share a thoroughly biblical Gospel. Further, it will serve as a tool with which young believers can be trained to understand more fully, live more faithfully and proclaim more passionately a biblical Gospel that will, through the power of the Holy Spirit, `tilt' the world in which we live for the glory of Christ.

(I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for writing this review.)

The story line sounded appealing. This could have gone somewhere. However, it turned into a non-stop attempt to proselytize the reader through the characters own personal struggles, blah, blah.

Another good story idea gone to waste.
