Question: 'Something Like Hail' (Something Like..Book 8)

I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime. ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Noah Westwood, of 'Something Like Hail' by Jay Bell, has reached a turning point in his life. Noah has not had it easy. He was thrown out of his home at sixteen for being gay, after conversion therapy didn't work. Noah never finished high school and has no job skills which basically means he is not qualified for a job that will give him a decent life. Then his ex-boyfriend, who is currently in prison, directs him to a businessman, Maurice Maltese. Desperate, Noah finds Maurice and explains that he wants to work for one of Maurice's sub-rosa businesses, a male escort service. This decision will change his life, but not always for the better.

Maurice hires Noah, but isn't sure he is up to the job. Maurice also doesn't trust him because he believes that Noah is hiding something. Maurice would rather Noah be honest with him from the start, but when convinced he's not, Maurice employs other methods to discover the truth. Maurice sends Noah to Harold for training. Since Noah has never done this kind of work before, Harold has his work cut out for him. Harold is sexy and charming; he and Noah hit it off well. One thing Harold tries to explain to Noah is how complicated relationships can be in their profession. Not many guys are going to understand that it's just sex when their boyfriend sleeps with men for money, but Noah doesn't listen. He thinks he can have both and becomes physically and emotionally involved with Harold. This turns out to be one of Noah's biggest mistakes and hardest lesson he has to learn.

After his breakup with Harold, Noah puts his nose to the grindstone. He puts aside his dream of having someone to love him; Noah becomes all business, taking on more clients, but being more professional, rather than spontaneous. The clients notice and complain to Maurice who takes Noah out to lunch and has a talk with him, asking why he changed. He wants to be sure that being an escort is what Noah still wants to do or if he needs to move on to something else. Noah assures Maurice that he's fine; he is just trying to be what the clients want. Noah doesn't realize that his sincerity and empathy is what they appreciate about him. Maurice tells Noah that he needs a life outside of work, but Noah just scoffs at him. When Maurice starts flirting with their waiter, Felix, and Felix shyly writes his phone number on their tab, Noah considers it a sign.

Jay's writing is as brilliant as ever; his grasp of human nature gives the story realistic, flawed characters anyone can relate to. Unfortunately, this story didn't resonate with me the way most of his stories have. I understood Noah's motives, but didn't feel that he was able to process things the way he should have. Often, he missed blatant signals, only to end up hurting himself and others around him. Felix was truly adorable, honest, and sweet. His reaction to Noah's 'full disclosure' shattered me.

The story is a great addition to the 'Something Like...' series. I gained a better understanding of the characters and their places in the series. The purpose of good literature is not to like or dislike a book; the writing is to make the reader think and feel. In this sense, I think that Jay is a genius. There's no way for me to read one of Jay's books without having an emotional and intellectual response. Thank you, Jay.

Well, thanks to Dorothy Love for helping me finally get over my month-long reading slump! Every Perfect Gift was the perfect conclusion to the Hickory Ridge Romance series. We met Sophie Caldwell in Beyond All Measure. She is now all grown up and returns to Hickory Ridge to re-open the local newspaper. When she meets Ethan Heyward, she wonders if he will be able to accept her and her less than idyllic childhood.

I loved getting to know Sophie as an adult! While in some respects, she's come into her own, she still struggles with the sting of rejection from the town where she grew up. It's really amazing to watch how she continues to grow and puts aside her own judgments and prejudices against the townspeople of Hickory Ridge. The romance between Ethan and her is sweet. At times it drove me crazy that they wouldn't just be open with each other, but I can understand not knowing if you can trust someone or not. Trust is earned after all!

The one thing that kept me from just loving this book was that at times it seemed like some of the story lines didn't really fit well together. The author seemed to focus on one story for a while and then hop over to another one. While they did mesh, it wasn't as seamless as I like.

Overall, though, the book was very enjoyable and--as I said before--helped me get over my reading slump that I've been in for about a month now! And while these books would definitely be more enjoyable to read in order, I think you would still be able to follow along just fine reading this one without the others in the series. I look forward to reading more by Dorothy Love--hopefully in the near future!  [4 stars]

I received a free copy of this book from Litfuse Publicity and Thomas Nelson in exchange for my fair and honest review.

Question: Incredibly nifty for the price

I can't believe how small this thing is.  Sure, it won't get your water going as quick as a Jetboil, but oh my God is it cheap and small.  I love the integrated lighter.  I've used it on a couple trips so far and I just love this.  People are amazed when they see how small it packs down and then they're doubly amazed when I tell them what it cost.

Got this as a gift for my dad.  It seems very sturdy and durable.  Love the pencil feature!

Question: and not great for travel

It is really sticky, and not great for travel. The pressure on the plane made some of the liquid ooze out of the spray, and since it is a strong chemical, it began to erode the plastic cover and got all over my toiletry bag. It is impossible to remove deet, especially after it goes on synthetic material. It leaves a sticky and pungent film of chemical that cannot be removed. Overall, decent for repelling mosquitos, but I did not like the stickiness of the liquid on my skin or clothes - and also cannot pack it in luggage.

Only bad issue is that the cover splits open to mimic a folded map. This sounds cute and clever, but in reality it means that it is difficult to read the book in the middle as you're holding it and the cover wants to open.

Question: ... to see the pictures The pictures are small and boring The story

The story is writen in extremely small type and makes it hard to read to a small child the wants to see the pictures

The pictures are small and boring

The story drags

I thought they would fit to my stylus but it was too large. I couldn't send it back since the price and the shipping cost was almost the same. But it is my mistake to order those. I should have checked the model numbers that fits.

Question: 3 years and counting.  no issues

We've had this for 3 years, so long that I'd forgotten that we bought it.  Plenty of storage space for our xbox 360, and no problems.  Easy to install, even for a low-tech mom like me.  We did move it from one unit to another shortly after we got it, and previous files (from old unit) were corrupted and would not work on new unit, but I did some reading and that seems to be the norm.  Oh well.  Everything we have put on it since has been fine though.

I had previously MACs. But this has been the best. I bought in 2009 and so far I've only had to change the battery. Rest everything worked perfectly. I recommend it 1000000%

Question: I'm a Student of the $30 Film School for Life!

In my opinion, Michael Dean's book, $30 FILM SCHOOL, is the most in depth resource I've come across so far dealing with the Independant, Do-It-Yourself filmmaker.

I was surprised that the author had such a firm grasp of so many aspects that went beyond just making a film.  He touches on the financing, distribution, selling, and other topics of interest that give the reader a well-rounded knowledge of the entire movie-making process, from Start to Finish!

What I think I liked the most about the book was its presentation.  Michael Dean lets you know the deal in Layman's terms, allowing the beginning film maker to jump right in.  I

mean, I now know what a scrim and baffle are!

It's also cool that while Dean touches upon the modern technology of the art, he also doles out bits of history concerning films and the older technologies that produced them.

Also, it should be noted that the book describes various software packages that can be used to edit your works.  He also gives mini tutorials of some of them, which are bundled on a CD that comes with the book!  Dean even goes on to tell you what software you can use to create the box art for your finished DVD and VHS products!

The way I see it, the only thing that the user doesn't do for you is buy you a computer, camcorder, props and a copy of Final Cut Pro and send it to you! (hint,hint)

Buy this book people!

Product arrived as advertised. Great deal and it comes with a lens cleaning cloth. I would do business with them again.

Question: Gave me accurate numbers (I think)?

No Expert in reading this data.  I bought the meter (because Brita does not come with one)  ... but rain water is under 30 ppm??  Our Florida water is 400 ppm ... My neighbor had a Zero water meter (which was not zero) It was 17 ppm, Brita was 30ppm... anything under 100 is likely good??? although I think this is ambiguous ... some minerals are good!

These are great! Checked them with digital calipers and the are spot on. Crazy amount of oil on them, though. be ready with paper towels when you open these! lol

Question: Robert B. Parker - Jack Reacher - Need I Say More?

I cannot pass by any Jack Reacher book by Robert B Parker. I'm so happy to see a second one has been made into a movie. This book was witty and had me in it's grasp all the way through.

Matt Wagner's story is interesting and exciting. Bisley's art is awesome. He has come a long way since the first time I noticed his art (the first Lobo mini-series) This book is beautiful. Just beautiful.

Question: Be patient, be sceptical, ask questions

In Pale Blue Dot, Dr Sagan looks back into our history of space exploration and fallibility, he stated we, human beings is the first species to have the ability to wipe themself out, what an ironic statement. But as a whole, he is optimistic about our future. He believe we can gradually overcome our fallibility to survive. 2 years later, Dr Sagan left the world with Demon Haunted world, again, he shared his worry about the world, again, he warned us we can do better than what we now and how: science. In this book, Dr Sagan left the area of our future in space but investigate the falling scientific method in our daily life. Our mind is filled with pseudoscience, channeling, anything but science. How can it be, how it harmed our generation, what's the origin, and most important, why science is the candle.
It's a big debate for Dr. Sagan, not with those pseudoscience believers, but also with himself. I'm so delighted that Dr. Sagan did it again, with his poetic style. If you want to tell science from others, just ask questions, real questions. Don't let others opinions drown out your own mind, be patient and be sceptical, it's hard in the demon haunted world, but it's our only way to survive.

I recently retired from being a public school teacher for the last twenty five years. After reading this book, I learned different techniques in how I could have listened to both my students and colleagues better. These new skills would have allowed me to emphasize more with them and would have helped me to have more positive interactions with them. I only wish that I could have read this book earlier as I know it would have made me become a much better teacher!

Question: A Day Late and a Dollar Short

This book is the outcome of what happened when master negotiator Jim Camp (author of "Start with No!") was invited to a symposium on negotiating at Harvard, and proceeded to blow William Ury & company out of the water. Camp is the real deal and has the data to back it up. The Harvard guys hated Camp and had to regroup to save their academic behinds. If you want the real deal, read "Start with No!", and find out how 'Getting to Yes' and other boooks of that ilk simply reduce you to cannon fodder in the face of an experienced and ruthless negotiator.

Not bad but not as funny as I hoped it would be

Question: it makes a real loud annoying noise. The material feels disgusting

DO NOT BUY THIS! I don't know what the other customers are talking about but this top is sooo cheap! The padding do t even fill the cups and when you move it, it makes a real loud annoying noise. The material feels disgusting! My boobs were too big and my waist was too small. The zipper feels so fake. Its not even worth spending a dollar on. I am returning ASAP.

Volume buttons on side don't work very well. So I have to use adjust the volume a lot with the screen settings. And when I put it in the case initially, the volume would go up and down by itself for hours.

Question: Our son really enjoyed this book

Our son really enjoyed this book.  Some of the punch-out pieces are hard to get out without tearing, which was no problem for us as we were doing it together, but this is a book that is best used as a project with parent/grandparent supervision.

We use this for naptime and bedtime (just change the words a bit) for both of our children (starting around 8 months old).  They love it and it offers great phrases to repeat to help ease them to sleep when they are having a hard time sleeping.  Great buy.

Question: light teen paranormal romance with more development than most

Great read for a great price! I am tired of every teen book with the girlie having two suitors, so the THREE interested males was way bothersome, but it all worked out.

A wonderful story of how messed up things can get when two people are too afraid to tell each other that they care for and love each other.  You know right off they are going to get together, but you have to read to find out how silly they are before they get pushed into admitting their love.

A good story to read and recommend.

Question: A fine cherry pitter to own

The pitter works very well. It's the first such tool I have ever used. Some cherries remain whole; others crush somewhat, yet all seemed equally firm at the start. I don't think it's the fault of the tool. It's the nature of the fruit. The cherry pitter seems very well constructed, is made of metal and is strong and sturdy. Cleanup is simple.

The company is VERY attentive. They deserve accolades for their communication and interest in pleasing the customer. I would recommend this tool in a heartbeat. It makes pitting cherries a no brainer.

I like to shred my own cheese and this is fantastic. I have a small salad shooter, but this is so much more. Gives me another reason to keep my kitchen aid out all the time.

Question: Fun for classical music lovers

Karl Jenkins became a classical household name with his music that was used for a Kay's diamond commercial that garnered much acclaim.  To be sure, he is a capable musician, composer, and especially an incredible melodist.

His Palladio, a crossover piece, is remarkably accessible to both classical musicians as well as pop enthusiasts.  The 1st movement is driven by an intense and enchanting melodic line.  The middle movement is sublimely melancholic.  The final movement is a minimalist's dream.  It has beauty, economy, and thrust along with contrasting moments of sheer excitement or sublime beauty.  The extended coda is artfully done and an appropriate conclusion to the work.  Palladio may lack the depth of great music, but no one can doubt its innate beauty or mass appeal.  We could do a lot worse on either side of the divide.

The other works are somewhat less successful but in no way negligible or insignificant.  The sound is immediate and detailed.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

liked it but I could not copy it to a CD to play in my car....disappointing!

Question: Do not buy breakage issues

I bought this case one because I was excited that it was pink and two because a lot of the reviews stated that it lasted... This is the 5th phone case that I've been through. Every case that I've boughten the little tabs on the face cover break.  I bought this case on the 25th of January and just this last week not even a month into having the case one of the little tabs in the front broke off. This last Saturday the other tab in the front broke off now the front of the case won't stay on... I am not happy that every 2-3 months I'm having to buy a new case for my phone. Also some of the paint has started to wear off of the cover as well. I am very careful with my phone and it gets frustrating.
The only reason why I am giving it 2 stars is because it's pink.

When I received the jam the cap came undone and was jam everywhere. I ordered it as a gift and decided it wasn't worth the hassle of filing a claim.

Love it! What I learned is keeping the temperature around 400 degrees creates a nice crust to your pizza without burning the bottom and provides enough time for your toppings are cooked and cheese to melt.

Everyone loves the pizza and it's so easy you will never order pizza again.

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.

I used this to upgrade an HP small form factor desktop that lacks sufficient power to handle most graphics cards. Install was quick- unscrew the full height bracket so the card would fit in a low profile slot, change a few BIOS settings, and reboot.  While this won't turn the PC into a high-end gaming rig, the higher screen resolution and improved graphics performance is a nice upgrade.

Fantastic product.  Holds up great for what I need it to do and hasn't shown any signs of wear and tear!  Would purchase again!

Question: Sword and Sorcery at its Finest

For years I've heard the name Clark Ashton Smith and never even knew anything about the author. When I finally found this collection I snatched it up. It's been on my bedside table for the past two weeks and I'm MAKING a point to get to bed early so I can read it. The stories are amazing, creepy, and just what I needed for this Halloween season (you can only read so much Lovecraft and Poe). So glad I bought this and I highly recommend it for early 20th century sci-fi and horror fans. Can't wait for the end of the book and the Averoigne stories (inspiration for the D&D module Castle Amber (Chateau d' Amberville  Dungeons & Dragons Module X2))!

Bought this for nostalgic reasons.  Back in the late 80s to late 90s, I was a big fan of this stuff. Problem for me was at that time much of this stuff was not available on video outside of "Mind's Eye" products.

Question: Wonderful TV and Film Music by the Inimitable Robert Cobert

This CD was LOOOONG overdue.  I have always wanted a collection of the wonderful music of Robert Cobert.  My only complaint about this compilation CD is that it is just that: a compilation.  I want more than there is to offer here.  I hope that a second volume is in the works.
If you're a fan of these movies, particularly TRILOGY OF TERROR and BURNT OFFERINGS, this CD is a must-have.  I have always wanted a complete soundtrack album to BURNT OFFERINGS, though to my knowledge no such album exists.  This CD contains five tracks from this film, though disappointingly, not the incredibly eerie main title music that is the film's theme.  Please, Mr. Cobert, please release this in the future!
What is here, though, is truly wonderful.  TRILOGY OF TERROR, one of the scariest TV-movies ever made, is part of the package.  THE NIGHT STALKER is also wonderful.
I would recommend this CD even if you are not a fan of the Dan Curtis/Robert Cobert team for the simple fact that they created some truly wonderful television and film concoctions in the '70's, and their work together is truly original and unique.  It is impossible to mistake anyone else's music for Robert Cobert's, as this composer has a wonderful style all his own.  It is truly a representation of a wonderful, bygone era in fantastic filmmaking.

I've been picking up these score releases since they first started hitting shelves. I've been quite pleased with each one that has come out and this is no exception. I was thrilled that they finally released "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe" as the exclusion of this from last year's schedule made fans question if it was going to be released.

We bought 3 flags for our elementary school flagpole, and chose these based on better than average reviews.  Should have paid more attention to the bad reviews!  They began fraying within 2 weeks of first use.  The seams just tore apart on the corners and then the fabric just started disintegrating.  Very poorly made.

Question: levis, still better than the cheapo "fashion jeans"

I don't know what happened at some point in my life.  Jeans went from being rugged, casual work wear, to something people liked to make fit tight and bedazzle.

I don't want fancy brand names or gold sparkles on my butt.  I just want something to cover it and wear well and stand up to the normal wear and tear of life.  These tend to get the job done.  Thanks Levis!

Question: Romance with a side of fun!

Ed has a special talent that allows you to fall into a happy place without the worries of the outside world and totally enmesh yourself in the story he has told. This is another one of those times that I fell into the story and couldn't put it down till I was done. It has great humor and snark which I love! Romance is great but when coupled with humor it makes it all the better. And who can beat a hot Vet! The connection and uncertainties that both of these guys have is sweet. They showed vulnerability and strength in equal measure. Sweet romance with fun and just a little bit of intrigue. Also Falcon's Aunt is just amazing!!! Greatly enjoyed this story and can't wait for the next one!

My favorite cookbook! These are wholesome, healthy and delicious recipes. This cookbook is loaded with the kinds of foods you prepare for the people you love the most. Warm and witty writing and lucsious recipes make this cookbook a keepsake. This book is a great gift for anyone who loves to entertain and loves to cook.

Question: A teaspoon per day on cereal is a great way to get healthy fat into your diet

A teaspoon per day on cereal is a great way to get healthy fat into your diet.  Keep it in the refrigerator and then just shave a little off with a knife for your use.  It is supposed to help against Alzheimer's as well.

WOW! That's all i can think of to say. I've read a few of Jane't books and let me tell you this author has a true gift from God I pray she never stops writing. When I first read her book Trials of Today, Treasures for Tomorrow she had me hooked then I read Simply Salsa and I thought this author really knows what it's like to be lost, confused , and discouraged and to be able to rise above it all with pure faith and trust in God ,I couldn't wait for
Janet to write another book and low and behold she writes this one a book full of encouragement and the tools to overcome the things that keep us bogged down in our everyday life ,prayers to help us to seek God and trust Him more that he has it under control ,that all we have to do is what he commands us to do in (Joshua 1:9) "This is my command-- be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouaraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." This book is a must read along with her other books they are all uplifting and encouraging once you read it you'll be glad you did i found myself shaing it with others.

Question: Great product, heavy power cord!

This thing is a beast! I really loved it. It is easy to use and very responsive. I wish these things in general came with a way to attach them on the PC tower or the table, but I solved it with velcro stickers. One thing to be aware of is that you need to supply it external power with the cord coming with it. It's like powering a laptop and the power cord is pretty big.

Question: Slimming and gorgeous

Amazing!! I bought this for a charity event and received a lot of compliments. The dress fit like a glove and was very slimming. Looks like a million bucks but very reasonably priced. Definitely will be my go-to formal dress for future events.

I write this dress to my sister's rehearsal dinner and got numerous compliments. I am curvy and this hugged in the right places.

Question: Great replacement part, instructions would be helpful

The handle on our Dyson broke and this was an affordable replacement. It was a pretty good fit but there was a trick to getting the trap release rod installed properly. Even just a Xerox printout of instructions would have been nice and helpful. But if you're in need of a new handle, this is for you.

Needed the fan only.  Had to get the whole assembly to get the fan.  Other fan died after 4-5 years of use

Question: "no bulls***"controller for "no bulls***" dj's

first of all - this one is for dj's

posers and wanna-be's walk away. quick. this is not the controller you want or need. you need something with lots of coloured led's and fancy displays. something much bigger and far more expensive. you need need to impress with appearance cause you lack the skills...

as a proud member of a dying species this one is some kind of unicorn....
a controller with full grown pitch-control faders and jog-wheels for dj's that actually mix by themselves.
(people with no use for this fader should officially be denied to call themselves dj - they are playlist-editors, nothing more. don't get me wrong, some of them make fantastic mixes and play great sets, but if you're unable to mix by ear you shouldn't call yourself a dj. and you shouldn't expect to be paid like a real dj. but that's just my humble opinion, feel free to have your own...)
back to things that really matter - this is by all means a great product!
build quality is great (solid, heavy), sound quality is impeccable.
it may not be officially supported by native instruments, but the controller mapping for traktor offered on the gemini website works fine.
i really expected some disappointment since the controller comes at an unbelievable price, but i can't find one thing that puts me off.
i had the opportunity to test some of it's rivals, even much more expensive ones. and i still wouldn't want to trade...
5 out of 5

I have been buying General Tools for years. They are decent specialized tools and usually a good value. With hand tools like this you get what you paid for. I bought one of these in Lowes on a whim to help me replace some leather tabs I was repairing. I paid $8.99. For this price you get an "off shore" tool that only LOOKS like a tool that actually works, a copy of the real thing.  Using 11oz thick but soft leather the second hole I cut chipped the punch on the rotary head. Huh ? A closer inspection revealed the cutters were not in perpendicular alignment with the little brass stop or backing on the lower jaw. The cutter was coming down at an angle in the leather and not flush to the stop.  I fabricated a shim out 1/8" phenolic and tapped it to the brass stop. This worked to straighten the alignment. But I only trust the cutters to get me through the few holes I need to cut, they are that poor in metal quality and hardness. If you need a rotary punch that lasts go to the $20 level and try the red Knipex or buy a vintage General punch made from western metallurgy on eBay. The tool I bought was designed to increase value per shareholder, not actually work as a hand tool for more than one test ride. But, hey, what did I really expect for 9 bucks? More.

Question: Great price and fabric but wobbly construction.  Needs frequent screw tightening.

We liked it until we started using it for our small Bugg.  Even with minimal use in a crate the screws on the sides of the bed are becoming lose and wobbly and have to be retightened frequently.

These are the CUTEST curtains EVER!!! My girls absolutely love them! They are great quality and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Mine did have a few strings hanging off of the bottom, as was reported in some of the other reviews, but it wasn't a defect. The curtain wasn't coming unthreaded or anything like that, it was just extra string left on from when they stopped sewing. I would put these on every room in my house if I could!!!!:)

Question: False advertisement. Its 30 watts, not 50 watts as deceptively claimed.

I recently bought a 30 watt LED  [.....] from another vendor. It wasn't quite bright enough so I went to buy another light. Then I found this 50 watt for $5 less than the 30 watt. I figured why not. Only one way to tell, so I bought it. When it arrived, it had a larger housing than my 30 watt light, but the LED was exactly the same size and instantly it made me suspicious it was a 30 watt fraudulently packaged and advertised as a 50 watt.

The light output and watt consumption is proportionate to the LED size. Since my 30 watt was still on the work bench not mounted yet,  I decided to compare them. Side by side both turned on, the 50 watt was NOT any brighter. I looked very carefully but they were both the exact same brightness.

I decided to hook up my digital voltmeter and read the volts and current/amp draw to see what the real wattage consumption was. Just as I was going to do it, the 50 watt light bought from this page just turned off and stopped working. So I returned it to amazon for a refund. If it hadn't of stopped working, I would have just written a negative review and kept it.

Hey it did put out 30 watts of brightness for $5 less than my 30 watt light I bought the week before. I was ok with that. I was not ok with it being advertised as 50 watts when the manufacture clearly knew they only put in a small 30 watt led into a much larger housing to make it look larger and fool you/me into thinking it meant brighter when it was false and deceptive.

So now I know why it was $5 less. It lasted less than 5 minutes before it stopped working. I got what I paid for. That'll teach me. What did you learn?

When you look at the picture, be careful. Don't let the larger housing fool you. Look carefully at the yellow LED inside and you'll see they are the same size. And the side by side brightness confirmed it. They were exactly the same lumen output. But it was a bright cool 5500-6000K white. I'll give it that. It wasn't yellowish warm light in the 2500-3000K range. .

AWESOME!!!!! This dehydrates anything I want with room to spare!! I love the add on trays and doesn't affect performance. I have used liquids, fruits, veggies, spices, and meats!! Love love love it! Great for saving space in cupboards and freezers. The Wendy DeWitt videos and seminars have great tips to get the most from the dehydrator. I researched several brands and compared pricing. This is the best for my money and the extra trays in this particular package are absolutely helpful for the versatility of preserving!!!! Got to love Amazon's great deals and fast shipment!!Nesco American Harvest FD-1018P 1000 Watt Food Dehydrator Kit

Question: The "Extra" Art History Textbook: A Writing Manual Roundup

"I know of two books specifically geared toward teaching writing in art history courses. They are Sylvan Barnet's A Short Guide to Writing About Art and Henry Sayre's Writing About Art. Their strength lies in addressing common problems that students face in the art history classroom. I have found them to be useful guides for viewing assignments and research papers in introductory classes--which is their goal. For classes built around more complex writing, however, the books below are more appropriate."

Excerpt from my blog entry The "Extra" Art History Textbook: A Writing Manual Roundup: [...]

I got this for a teacher at my school to help supplement her student's knowledge on the machine they had in class. Though it doesn't have as much detail on the machine and its workings and more so a focus on the machine and its history the areas that it does have that review the printer functions and how to go about using them seem to be well organized and will be good for students just getting into the 3d printing frenzy.

Question: Best Product on the Market for Increasing Blooms and Fruit Production!

It's not all natural, but it is one of the best products on the market for significantly increasing blooms and fruit production in plants. I use it religiously on my Plumeria and without it, some of my Plumeria would not put out flower bracts at all. Flowering also helps the Plumeria to branch naturally and keeps it from getting too long and lanky or having to prune excessively. I also have some 200+ potted plants and numerous other plants in the ground. This stuff helps keeping them beautifully and tightly packed with flowers each year. It's also great for starter plants, since Phosphorous (the high middle number of the NPK rating on this product) helps in root production. Use it on vegetable and fruit plants to increase fruit. I have equally good success and experiences with Green Light's Super Bloom and will purchase it whenever this is not available.

Book One and this book are my personal favorite of the wicked garden series. The witches of Snyder farms really starts to unleash the pull of this story and leave you wanting more. The characters really start showing their true colors in this book of the series.

Question: Treason within a Brotherhood of Soldiers

An excellent read. Action packed. You think you know who the traitor is, ten pages later you are so confused you don't know who he is. The author takes you on a roller coaster ride of death, destruction, and treason within a brotherhood of soldiers called on to do a job that tests their souls and loyalties to their country and to each other while managing to do the job they were trained to do. It draws the reader in with fast paced action, twists and turns and, to top it off, an ending that leaves you slack-jawed - because you didn't see it coming and you should have! I can't wait until the next book comes out!

I had to take a shower after every chapter... it's difficult to quantify the lives lost or damaged due to this man and his brother.

Question: A $434 HARD lesson learned-Look at the pics

There is a great saying, that you get what you pay for; Well I was going to make a deal buying this roller so I thought.  The packaging was amazing. I am a Senior Prototype Machinist of 30+ years. When it arrived and after cleaning the cosmoline from this rolling mill I thought it looked so good I needed to try it then and there. I rolled out a silver dime to .010" and there was not high spots.  I was so impressed I ordered a second mill that day to strictly roll silver wire.  Fast forward three weeks. This mill is s***e.  1. They claim this will roll material 0.1 - 4.0mm This is not TRUE. The roller drive gears opposite of the handle do not mesh together at thickness over 3mm. 2. These same gears are not hardened, they are dead soft. Not as good as 1018 steel, see picture the gears are chewing themselves up, these gears are also not concentric----something that really doesn't matter in a gear----right?!!! 3. The main rollers are dead soft. the rolling surface is case hardened 0.005"  0.13 mm I do not see that it will last with use. 4. The roller bearing blocks do have bronze bushings(one of the few good things I can say about the mill), but the paint on this unit is very very poor-----hey manufacturer, its called primer, use it. 5. The crank gear and idler gear are not positioned very well, when cranking under a load they will jump from time to time. It is just a matter of time before a tooth breaks.....btw all the gears on this unit are dead soft.  I would not buy this mill to use weekly. I would not recommend this mill for hobby use, but you can make it work.  If I was smart I would cut my losses and sell these both on ebay for $50. Or throw them away and not sell someone else bad s***e.  Amazon......Do Not Sell These As Prime!  Pay the extra money and get a good rolling mill. FYI - I have only used this mill to roll annealed .925 silver

This is the first product I've gotten that has spilled. I'm still waiting for it to cool and solidify to know how much I lost. It's is a food product smells great but it was packaged poorly and got to hot through the mail

Question: More Rich Dad Poor Dad

This book is a continuation of the first book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." Some of the material is repetitive. This is not a problem as it goes deeper into cash flow concepts. The book does not give any simple answers and does not give the reader a blueprint or recipe to success. However, the book is superb at assisting the reader in thinking about money in a healthy way. The reader is given the concept in having money work for the reader, rather than just working for money. You can work hard to put money to work rather than just working to get money to spend on wasting assets.

Question: You can pass using just this book

I really rushed studying for this section - which btw this is supposed to be the trickiest section but I'm sure this is relative considering the background of the potential EA. If this book wasn't so clear and to the point despite its being over 400 pages passing would be expensive because I'd need to take an online or physical course and painful. These authors make Tax relevant to your day-to-day experiences and understandable. You can pass the exam with just this as a resource. I do recommend purchasing the workbook as well just for question exposure. The questions in the book and in the workbook are pretty indicative of what's on the exam. All the best to everyone. This is a must buy. Cheers

Question: Lively Traditional Folk Mucis from Quebec

Debut CD by an energetic trio with Acadian influences combines fiddle, bass, accordian, acoustic guitar, spoons and bones, with a clever addition of backbeat from step dancing. Even vocals and smooth harmonies, all in  French, draw the listener to the emotion behind the music and story lines.  In the tradition of other Celtic World music, the dynamic sounds and beat  translate in any language to true "joie de vivre" regardless of  the listener's primary language.

Music's great but to be a history of the music of the Appalachians it is a shame they couldn't find a narrator that could pronounce "Appalachian" correctly.

Highly entertaining and well illustrated this graphic novel does a very good job of condensing ERB's prose while maintaining its flavor. "At The Earth's Core" is a by now quite familiar story.

Question: Hate it is an understatement!

This Workbench was order for my 2yr old grandson for Christmas.  I like to shop early, hence it was ordered in August.  My husband went to put it together tonight and it is a nightmare.  First off, it was a million peices but we were willing to work our way thru the directions and get it together.  BUT, that was impossible since it was missing 2 major peices of the bench and the screws that would hold the whole workbench together.  We made an effort to call the company  - that didn't work and who knows who made the item.  Next phone call Amazon.

On the positive side, the young man that I spoke with at Amazon was an excellent representative of what customer service should be at a large company.  He looked at the order and inspite of the time frame when the item was ordered it,  will be going back with what I hope will be a full refund.

On the flip side of the Amazon service, I hope they realize that this Workbench was ordered in good faith that it would be a quality ltem.  I have learned a hard lesson - READ the Amazon reviews before ordering an item - they tell the truth.  But, you would think that Amazon would drop an item that has poor reviews instead of continuing to sell an inferior item to their customers.

Love my I pad except I wish it had a bigger on and off button. Also, because I'm not a youngster, I wish it came with directions in a booklet form instead of a download.

Question: Interesting but hard going

I find farming and plant genetics and history fascinating and I am very
much enjoying this book, which covers and connects these topics.  It's
quite hard to read, though, the book seems intended as a textbook, it's
the opposite of the kind of book that makes a difficult topic accessible
for the layperson.  It covers (I assume) all the other reseach on given
subjects, with citations, so it's very easy to get lost in masses of
data and technical terms, and there's not much assessment and conclusion
to make the data understandable.  But in the absense of good popular
books that pull these topics together in detail, I can recommend it to
the dedicated.

Original and thought provoking, finished in just a few days...highly recommended read!

Question: Clever Maths applied to playing Lotto

Bluskov has applied maths to playing Lotto which means you improve your chances of winning. You may not hit the Jackpot, but you will win more of the smaller prizes which will stretch your playing dollar further. It sure beats the hell out of picking numbers from a hat.

The written explanation of how the systems are arrived at require some concentration, but the tables themselves are very clear and tell you precisely the mathematical probability of winning any prize.

For example, if you choose 12 numbers and you get 5 of the winning numbers in that group, then you have a 4.55% of getting those 5 numbers in one game. At the same time you have a 40% chance of winning 4 numbers in a single game. That's just from one system and there are over a hundred of them.

Bluskov doesn't discount the element of luck in playing Lotto, but he does ad some control that makes it less of a gamble.

I give it 5 out of 5

Question: Excellent in virtually every way

Everything about this wallet, at least from my initial first week impression, is that this item completely over delivers for the price.  Excellent craftsmanship, very high quality leather, dimensions are perfect (everything fits exactly like it should and is very snug), and really looks like it will hold up a very long time.  I've owned 3 front pocket wallets over the years (and tested many others) and this is the most impressive so far.  I keep the minimum in this wallet- 3 cards in the 3 individual slots, ID card in it's slot, and several bills in the middle.  If you are looking to hold a bunch of cards, receipts, cash, and other misc things, this is probably not the wallet for you. But as other people have noted, you could easily hold more than 3 cards if need be, you would just need to give the wallet time to stretch out slightly.  I can highly recommend this wallet if it suits your needs.

A lot better than I thought it was going to be. I bought the dvd after watching it.

Question: A true lifestyle that works

Hail Bill Phillips.  I began a year ago with his best-seller, Body for Life, which is incredible in itself.  His new cook book is an amazing supplement to that program and truly supports a manageable lifestyle, not a fad diet.
Bill's philosophies are realistic, pragmatic, most of all effective.  Being single, in Manhattan, I don't have the time or the patience for complicated, time consuming food preparations, that's why this program has been so effective for me, it's the exact opposite. I've lost almost 30 lbs and managed to keep the weight off now for almost a year.
This book is filled with great recipes and the simple program is explained in an easy to read format.  No gimmicks, just balanced meals with real food, that promote a healthy, active lifestyle.

The first book I read by this author was Dare Me and I was deeply impressed. Now, after reading The End of Everything, I am convinced that she is one of the best writers around today.

Question: A rare gem among programming books

What makes this book so great is it not only presents the material in a very readable yet thorough way, it also gives a great sense of context for why this material matters, comparing freely against other competing implementations of similar ideas (eg Guava or Scala).  What a find -- I love it when I find a rare programming book like this!

So many lesser titles, especially when the topic is about essentially an API, tend to read like a computer-generated API doc.  But this title reads more like a friendly professor showing you the key ideas which drove the API design, so that the APIs themselves make sense and therefore become easy to learn.

As Millencolin became harder and harder in music, they became slower and slower. Home From Home was an amazing album with really catchy tunes but seemed a little slow. The 2 bonus tracks on the Japanese version were just as hard as the North American, and featured the fast-paced beats we heard in "No Cigar" and "Bullion". "Absolute Zero" and "The Downhill Walk" are great reasons to shell out a couple extra dollars for this import!

Question: A VERY SPECIAL album!!!

I listened to An Innocent Man when I was only 13 years old!  My favorite song on the Album was The Longest Time, and Boy!  could I ever have remembered such a song "for the longest time!!!"

Buying the album has stalled the mid-life crisis in my life.  I will always appreciate Billy Joel's music--I have also heard other songs within the following decade where Billy simply moved forward IN MUSIC!

Another one of my favorite songs from the '90s is "All About Soul."  Just face it, I will ALWAYS enjoy Billy Joel MUSIC!!!

An oustanding selection of music from one of my favorite singers.

Question: Quality of this product severely lacking

I was given this chair as a gift recently and returned it almost immediately due to damage and poor quality. Upon opening the box, the pieces of the base and casters were wrapped in what I can only describe as whatever scraps were lying around the warehouse. The leather of the chair is not high or even decent quality - it feels plastic to the touch. As I began to assemble the base, I looked at the under side of the seat component and realized that the metal support under the foam cushion had worn through and ripped the leather along the front seam of the seat component! The casters themselves also seemed fairly cheap and flimsy and are all plastic. I then put everything back in the box (better than how it was originally shipped), slapped the return label on it and dropped it off. I find it hard to believe that ANYONE would pay the list price for this chair. But I guess it only takes one. Would not recommend this product. Buyer beware.

Not pleased at all as the colors recieved were not the colors pictured. Would not recommend.

Question: Not as tasty as the Ceremonial but you can't beat the price!

I've been drinking the 1oz DoMatcha 1st harvest ceremonial grade for 14 months now. I wanted to try something that was similar in taste but with more bang for my buck. Enter the 2.82oz DoMatcha 2nd harvest.

This tea is a great price at almost 3 times more matcha for about the same price as the 1st harvest. The product comes in a sealed tin containing a food-grade bag. You definitely want to put this container in the refrigerator after it has been opened to delay the onset of bitterness as the tea ages. The matcha isn't quite the vibrant/electric green found in a ceremonial grade batch. It is also nowhere near the army green color of an culinary grade matcha. I would say that this batch is about upper mid-range quality for what you can get in the U.S.

The taste isn't bitter or astringent but it does lack vegetal depth, creaminess, and sweetness found in higher grades of matcha. If taste and experience are secondary to the health benefits of matcha, you'll love this tea.

I used these during Hurricane Irma.  Best tasting MRE's around.  Just add boiling water

Question: Title says action figure and it doesnt move

This is not an action figure.  Title is deceiving because it says action figure.  The figure does not move.  Be sure to read fine print before you pay out $68!!

Excellent TF collector's item. All the Masterpiece toys are well made.
My only issue is the pricing. This is obviously aimed at the older "nostalgia" market, and not "for kids". For a toy that stands under 7" to be priced at $80 is a bit ridiculous.

Question: Well that was easy....

Prior to installing this I read the reviews at the bottom, Mac guy the drivers are on the disk along with a PDF file of the manual.  As far as installation you have to take it apart and connect the wires from the inside all you need is a screw driver.  If you own a pc then just use the USB drive, plug the item to the power source and the turn it on, the computer will automatically recognize it and it's ready for use that's it.  Wow, they must have been real idiot to not know how to install this item, super easy and it's great.  Wow, what a shocker.

I bought the 1911 Plastic Barrel Bushing Wrench by Wilson Combat from Amazon.  The wrench looked scratched but when I turned the wrench over, the scratch appeared on the back side as a mirror image and the scratch connected through the wider but smaller barrel bushing cut-out.  Therefore I assumed the scratch was a micro crack through the wrench.  I returned the wrench for another wrench.  I received the replacement wrench and it too has the same scratch exactly like the first wrench I received. Is this a cosmetic blemish or is it a faulty crack which will fail with usage?  Do I return it for another replacement to Amazon for the third time or keep it?  I decided to keep it being that the scratch/micro crack is on the wider but smaller barrel cut-out which I do not use.  I use the cut-out other end which is for a standard 1911 style barrel bushing.  By the way, I contacted Wilson Combat to inquire about this issue.  WC informed me that they do not have an Amazon store, therefore they are not sure of what merchandise I received.  WC stands by their products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for the life of the product when bought directly from WC.

Question: Eclectic, tuneful, haunting, evocative, soothing....

I saw Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum for the first time a few weeks ago -- how have I missed hearing about them all these years? This CD has not left my stereo since I got it...I love the emphasis on nature, solstice, hope, and yes, grace. Thank you, Laurie and Tom, for choosing such an eclectic selection of tunes and delivering them with such heart! My favorite is  the haunting, evocative Wintergrace, written by Jean Ritchie. This CD is not a play-it-twice-and-forget-it disc -- it will help you make it through the coldest and darkest of winters. Highly recommended for anyone who loves beautiful harmonies and evocative songs that keep reverberating in your ears, mind, and heart.

Good, clean copy.  Packed well and shipped quickly.  Appealing to adult men and women.  What is this "6 more words required" thinG?  If you want a review, don't be fussy about the length.

I purchased this about a month ago and had issues with the device not charging. I contacted the seller and they responded with a replacement unit within a few days. Happy to report that this unit works and that their customer service was very good.  I have updated my review to reflect this.

I do wish there was a way to keep the function keep locked down so that I don't have to press it every time I want to engage the ipad specific volume / home etc.

Overall a solid keyboard and the convenient stand

Question: Great 1st book to a series!! I pre-ordered book2.

Some have considered `urban fantasy,' while others call it `young adult,' but all agree that the romance is minimal. It is in there, but it is not a focus of this specific installment.  What romance is in there I definitely do not consider `young adult.'
J.T. Geissinger has some work to do on the characters themselves, but has an amazing way to describe the scene and environment.  There are hints of so much character and depth to the players, and perhaps she intended to leave it dry. Almost like an introduction but not sharing too much since we barely know each other.  I have faith that the next installment will let me `in' more to see more depth.

I first expected the novel to focus on the Ikati and Leander as that was what `drew' me into the story, so I was caught off guard that we are introduced to Jenna.  The beginning was bland and slightly choppy with transition between the world of the Ikati and Jenna, but Geissinger quickly finds her groove when she gets into the details she loves about Jenna's character and the environment.  The first third of the book was a struggle to keep my interest, but there was a switch or a moment that I found and could not put the book down.  The later two-thirds of the book raced by and I was suddenly down to the last two percent of the book.  The final pages were predictable in regards to the smidge of romance that is in there, but it did leave me interested in what is coming next in the world Geissinger has created for Jenna and the Itaki.
Who would join me in this new world and author? Anyone who's interested in adult type fantasy with vividly detailed environments but characters slightly short on depth...it works.  I think the first installment is a great start, and hopefully more depth can be exposed in the next chapter of the Itaki world.  But if you are looking for adult romance, I think it can be found elsewhere in a normal world.
I think the Itaki world has the ambition to be a lush forest ripe with multiple stories and characters, but right now I have to hack my way in past the first set of trees to see there is another layer or if it is just a picture of a forest.

Really enjoyed it even though it has been a lot of years since that time in my own life. I passed it on to my daughter who is experiencing it all right now. I hope she writes another book continuing the story.

Question: High quality NIV 1984 personal Bible

I recently purchased several of these from another "Christian book" online seller for gifts and for myself, and these appear to be top quality Bibles.  They were available at an excellent price as well.  The ebony Renaissance leather is the best I've been able to find on a Bible anywhere, and I've looked at many websites.  It's smooth, soft, and very supple, making the cover very flexible.  It lies open nicely.  This is not a study or reference Bible, but it does have a presentation page, preface, a few footnotes, concordance, and some maps in back.  It's in well spaced double-column format.  The print is not large size, but I can easily read it.  The description on the other seller's page says 7 pt. type, but it seems slightly larger than that to me, but I have no way of measuring it.  The words of Christ are in red.  It is a personal sized, thinline Bible, about 8.5 x 5.75 x 1".  The edges of the pages are silver and it has a ribbon bookmark.

Another plus is that this is the best-selling 1984 NIV translation, not the less accurate, more generic 2011 revision.  The 1984 NIV will probably become unavailable later, so I was very glad I found this one.  I prefer the more accurate, specific language version.  Regardless, the NIV is a contemporary language translation and is easy to read.

This is an unusually beautiful NIV Bible and I like everything about it.  Slightly larger print might be an improvement for those with vision problems, but then it would not be a thinline edition.

The best engineering notebook you can buy today. Great quality, great paper.

Cons: The price listed here is different from Vela's website.

Question: Easy pour with No-Spil

Great gas can that has a lot of nice features.  A lot of the tree services in my area use the no spill line. In fact that's how i was introduced to the product when i found one off the side of the road. Had such good luck with that one purchased a new one from Amazon. I really like the fact that you can see the amount of gas in the tank without taking off the top as well as the specific gallon level. If you are going to use this for your car or some yard machine that has a gas cap in a difficult postion you will need an extension or funnel. As far as cracking in cold weather, i just empty mine and put them in the basement. Complaints about getting the safety cap on or off are easily remedied by snipping the little plastic strap on the cap.

Broke the first time I used it. Handle won't turn anymore. It seems that dirt got stuck in the dispense hole. Bad Design!

Question: An Amazing Debut Novel

Stuck in the Onesies, a term from the child's game of Jacks, quickly becomes a metaphor for the lives of two young women raising their families in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. If you get stuck in the very first round of the game, the onesies, you play catch-up for the rest of the game. Barb Kincaid and Ellie Reilly are doing just that. Trying to raise their young children on a shoestring budget, with husbands who would rather be on the shooting range or watching football on television, poses challenges neither of them had anticipated. Along the way, they learn about racism, marital infidelity, betrayal, heartbreak, independence--and joy, the joy of lives well-lived, the joys of love and friendship and family.

Diana McDonough has crafted a graceful, bittersweet tale, at once funny and sad and poignant. She speaks truth leavened with kindness and humor, shining a light on how adults grow up despite the many roadblocks along the way. Her novel made me laugh out loud and cry unashamedly. I anticipate it will haunt me for days to come.

A very enjoyable read as the characters I followed as a teenager continued their adventures.  The mix of classic TV, the 1920s atmosphere, and coming of age was great entertainment.

Question: To Question or not to Question accepted doctrine?

It certainly is a " mind" opener. There are certain incidents mentioned in the forbidden books which would go against the assumptions of what Jesus would have been like as a child. Christians might be hard-pressed to accept and deal with some revelations. If you are happy with the correlation of material that has been integrated into the New Testament - thanks to the bishops at the Council of Nicea - then seek no further. If you are curious about some gospels that were omitted then this is the read for you.

Never really got into Testament the first time around - I am more of an Anthrax / Megadeth guy. But saw them open for Anthrax recently and was impressed -- then heard this and was sold. My biggest problem with the earlier stuff is the production quality -- to me they can sound too "mid-rangy" -- since getting this record and Formation of Damnation (they both have GREAT production) I have been going back and appreciating the overlooked qualities in the earlier stuff. If you are new to Testament, I would recommend this record, which I think is the best they have done. Formation of Damnation next, with has similar production, then the rest -- starting with the New Order I would say. IMHO

Cute and flattering fit, but does not breathe in the heat.  Definitely hides any sort of belly you may have going and fits well over boobs, but you will sweat.  Really does feel like a cheap polyester shirt (which it is).

I love blues and soul Christmas CDs.  So I was excited to try this one.  But I am so disappointed.  It is over-produced and slick.  Vanilla and soulless. I guess I prefer older soul sounds.  But that sure doesn't sound a bit like Aretha.  Barely sounds like Isaac.  I love the Charles Brown tune but have that on a Pottery Barn CD which got me started on soul Christmas discs.  Plus the cover won't work to open and close once you remove the sticker on the spine.  The whole thing bummed me out - especially for the price. Better and cheaper ones out there.

Worth the read! Very well written and containing a great section of notes correlating historical facts with events in the story. Gives the feeling that undoubtedly Holmes and Watson did indeed chase The Ripper.
