Question: as he wrote to my mother that his job entailed scrubbing paint from old sinks until the sinks gleamed like new, a typically degr

I've read nearly every book that's out there on $cientology and was excited to discover Remini's new book. Everything Remini wrote about $cientology's workings is corroborated by the many other books I have read. I have a brother in $cientology who has been in it for over 40 years, a physics genius who must have been sent to the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF) at least one time, as he wrote to my mother that his job entailed scrubbing paint from old sinks until the sinks gleamed like new, a typically degrading job assigned to RPF "prisoners." .

Remini writes in an easy, conversational style, filled with her self-admitted "frankness" about everything. It was refreshing to read that she somehow maintained her common sense and her sense of humor throughout the ordeal of $cientology, even though she was under tremendous pressure while filming King of Queens and at the same time spending evening hours satisfying her commitment to taking courses and auditing at the $cientology Center. I admire her willingness to speak out against $cientology because their "fair game" policy of attacking anyone who publicly speaks against or opposes $cientology can be harassed mercilessly and become the subject of lawsuits and dangerous lies spread by $cientology operatives.

The reader gets a clear picture of $cientology's agenda, as created by David Miscavige, the leader of the for-profit organization which $cientology would have you believe is a church. The thing is, this is not your typical church. In order to "worship" at $cientology, the member must continue to pay for higher and higher levels of "religious" teachings from the now-deceased founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Remini was hit up time and again for millions of dollars, as were other celebrities in the church. The way my brother and many other rank-and-file members are able to afford the same courses and auditing is by pledging their lives to $cientology and working there full-time. Full-time? Ten to 12 or more hours a day, seven days a week, for which they are also given housing and food. Housing consists of a two-bedroom apartment shared with another couple. On Saturdays, everyone living in the $cientology housing must submit to an inspection of their living quarters by other $cientology staff, presumably looking for contraband, such as books against $cientology and other "illegal" items.

Remini was concerned about her friends and relatives having to break off all contact with her after she "quit" $cientology, a requirement they must fulfill to remain in good standing within the organization. My brother was required to break off all contact with me because I see a psychologist for counseling and take meds for depression. $cientology is well-known for their demonization of the psychiatry field.

I read the entire book in two sittings, mostly at night when the rest of the world is asleep. It confirmed everything I already knew about $cientology but gave it a distinctly personal slant. I admire Remini for her honesty and courage in speaking about her experiences with the church and about her own "failings." Unfortunately, those still trapped in the day-to-day of the cult will never be allowed to read her story. I would send my brother her book, but that would probably require him to confess to possession of it in auditing sessions, possibly resulting in stint in the RPF.

Thank you, Leah Remini, for your candor, honesty, and courage. I hope your book reaches as many people as possible who are actively considering joining $cientology and others who are already ensnared it its tentacles.

Worked just right in my generic decora panel from Lowe's. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, the Cable Matters Cat6 keystone jacks I got from Newegg were too wide.

PRO TIP: You do not need to spend $10 each on the Leviton 61110-RW6 eXtreme 6+ QuickPort Connector, CAT 6, White that officially goes with this insert! I ordered a five-pack of UTP CAT6 Keystone Coupler,VCE RJ45 Female to Female Insert Coupler, UTP CAT6 Keystone inline Coupler -White for just $11. Granted, with those I also had to terminate the cables with RJ45 jacks, but I had plenty of those lying around, and even if I didn't the total cost still would have been a lot less than $40 to populate this insert.

Nothing against the brand because I usually buy the clava one and I love that one. Big mistake in buying this thick-n-thin headliner. Didn't fit at all and the mask didn't conform to my face whatsoever. I thought the one size thing seemed a little odd and should've went with my instincts but still giving a one star because they should have made the sizing portion more clear. They made their money and I can't return it so its a win for them. All I have now is my one star power review. Don't buy.

Question: Excellent Product Excellent Supplier

Good quality fabric and imaging exactly as pictured for the product.  A standard 15" pillow (even overstuffed) fits nicely into the pillowcase, you can purchase these at any big box store inexpensively or separately here at Amazon.  Even though the item ships from the UK, it took only a week to arrive (the delivery estimate for the order is up to one month but it ships in a flat regular mail bag and arrived surprisingly quick).  Was worried by price that this article would be cheaply manufactured but the fabric and zipper are high quality and appear to be durable and well made.

This is a super soft cardigan.  I love the color and and the cut.  I read the reviews and ordered two sizes up because every review said it ran small, it does run very small.  I ordered a 2x and normally wear a large to an ex Large.  I still really like the cardigan even though I had to order way up.  There is a little stretch to the fabric and is a little long.  I am going to purchase another one in Yellow and will continue to purchase.

Amazing story about an amazing man and warrior. Adam Brown gave everything he had in everything he did, including his life one day to save a fellow soldier. On top of his impressive military career, Adam was an incredibly strong man of God who overcame ridiculous obstacles in his life while his faith stayed strong. This is the kind of man that I strive to be like and this book is inspiring and one of my favorites that I've read in a looong time. Definitely a recommended book.

Question: Proceed to purchase with caution

I purchased this book because I am a fan of the fantasy genre, and it seemed fairly popular. Having now completed this novel, I feel that it is, without contest, one of least enjoyable books I have encountered in years.
First and foremost, the writing style is so excruciatingly simplistic, it's reminiscent of middle school English writing assignments. Secondly, the dialog and the characters' responses to the situations they encounter are both deeply unrealistic and extremely unnatural. Furthermore, as the author himself proclaims, on his official website, he does not write to create a world. Unfortunately, I (and I suspect many others of his audience) have yet to experience living in a world filled with magic barriers, shadowy creatures, and/or wizards. Finally, although I personally find this a pebble of a problem compared to the meteoric disappointments caused by the author's poor writing, potential readers should know that novel contains some violent content which they may find offensive/disturbing.

After all the negative points above, I suppose I should explain why I would still choose to give it two stars. Although, I throughly disliked this book, I can see how it may appeal to either a younger audience or one seeking an uncomplicated but action-packed read. With such a high rating, I was expecting a more substantial literary piece. However, if you are the type of reader who is very put off by a great deal of description or very involved plots then you will probably enjoy this novel. It is definitely action-filled; I don't think a day of the main character's life goes by without a life-or-death battle.

So, in summary, if you are veteran of the genre looking for something spectacular, don't look here. If you're just a fantasy fan looking for a light beach read this might be the fix for you.

I wasn't very happy with this one though I appreciate the efforts.  It was more like a compliation of random facts sort of just put together with no particular order or cohesiveness.

It was  almost like buying a guide to teach boxing; you open the book and a boxer's gloved hand springs out & delivers the perfect upper cut to your jaw...and the longer you keep the book open the more of a beat down you get ...no mention of hows or whys just a steady stream of random yet pretty deteremined blows to your mug until you finally say ...OH JESUS I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE !!!....THANKS FOR ....SHARING! & close the book.

Question: Yes! Worth the purchase.

The boxes are smaller than what I had envisioned. Maybe I should've read the "details portion" but did not. However, these boxes are super cute and small. Small enough to fit a handful of candy.

Outstanding book that effortlessly uses and synthesizes a wide range of  classic and modern commentaries in a seamless, insightful manner. Excellent for gaining a wider understanding of the Book of Judges while  moving beyond a simple reading of the text. The book can be readily appreciated on many levels by both scholars and the general public. This is a book that can be reread and should have a prominent place in any library.

Question: Fell apart after one month

I bought this leash because it looked durable and the description led me to believe it would be durable. Leash is falling apart after one month of use. The handle is coming apart from the main leash. Pretty unheard of for dog leashes. A dog leash should sustain at least one year of use, especially if it's being sold as "durable".

This was a good read and you learned a lot of the secrets. That were being kept. I hope that Lexi and Gabe get back together. I'm sure that you will enjoy this book in the series. Well I am off to read the next book in the series.

Question: I thought it was brilliant, as I am still fairly new to climbing ...

A friend of mine showed me his carabiner with the extra clip to stop cross loading. I thought it was brilliant, as I am still fairly new to climbing and am a sucker for ingenious solutions to problems. It can be a bit of a nuisance to clip in, but with a few uses, it becomes second nature. I like the color and it has a neat shape to it (as awesome as carabiners are concerned.)

Tempting to give these 5 stars as the colors are beautiful and they all arrived undamaged; however, after a few days of messing around with this set, I have a few issues with it.

First of all, if you're a klutz like I am, you don't want to drop this set if any of the pockets are open. Spoiler: they will fall everywhere and sorting them will be a pain. I definitely won't be keeping them in the case permanently- pen cups are definitely the way to go here.

For the most part, these are very pigmented. The ink will start to deteriorate the paper's quality after a fair amount of shading- unavoidable with gel pens, I suppose, but especially noticeable with these if you're not careful. Some of the colors (especially those in the yellow-light orange family) are pretty similar, not really distinct enough to qualify as multiple shades, and I wish there were more metallic shades included in their place as they're fantastic and super fun to work with! That being said, there are probably only half a dozen shades spread throughout that I consider to be struggle colors, not bad for an inexpensive set of 100.

One of my pens (a neon green) arrived almost empty, so that was disappointing, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with this set. A few adjustments I would make, but definitely a worthwhile purchase!

Question: Works great with my crossbow

Works great with my crossbow, easily deckocked a 400fps xbow by firing into the ground.  Screws right onto the end of my regular bolts.  Finish gets roughed up but that's to be expected.

It's hard to believe a story about an 80 year old woman in a rest home could be interesting. Believe it! The story has a stillness and a grace which is incomparable. The language is poetic and inspiring. The main character, Delia O'Toole, is unflappable and strong within her body weakened by age and slowed by an old injury. She lives in Virginia where she's taught music at a college most of her life. It's 1957. The story, unsentimental and unsparing, goes back and forth from the present to her youth in the 1880's in North Carolina. The historical accuracy is one of the fine parts of Delia's story. She's the same age as my grandmother, Carrie Henry, who was born in 1877. When I was young my aged grandmother seemed dry and didn't tell stories about herself. Could she have had as interesting a life as Delia O'Toole? Probably. All of us who had quiet and strong forbears could benefit from tasting the fully imagined life of Delia O'Toole. Don't miss your chance.

Question: Great Toy for 'Eye-Hand' Coordination

I bought this toy for my niece, who has a weak hand. She needs things that require her to use both hands. This was the perfect toy for that. I like it because it is brightly colored and has several educational applications (shape matching, color matching, as well as turning the screws to attach the items).

You get what you pay for. In this case $.99 was far too much. Lesson learned - Always sample before you buy, regardless of cost.

Question: Cute and am keeping, BUT.....

Oh Melissa!! I love your shoes....with the exception of these :(  The PROS: Cute, easy to clean, non-sweaty, go with everything. But unfortunately, I have CONS this time! These shoes just are not very comfortable. It's the inside of the shoe that's bugging me. Something about the material (which I usually love!) isn't right. It pokes and pulls...hard to explain. I'm not returning them because they go with a lot of my outfits, and I can wear them for a few hrs before they drive me nuts. But Melissa's are shoes I can usually wear for hours without issue. I have looked inside, ran my hands around and cannot find any defect which would cause the pokey, pulley feeling I get when I wear them. Perhaps it's just this particular pair? I won't stop buying this brand because of one annoying purchase, but I know I won't wear these as much as I thought I would be.

I bought my first kit and was very pleased with how fast and easy it was to clean my first story gutters.  It's messy, so wear eye protection and a water-proof hooded jacket.  I should also note that I attached the kit to my Troy-Bilt Backpack Blower by using this PVC Flexible Coupler 3"x3".  This has worked better then expected.  If you do connect the kit using the PVC coupler, make sure you DO attach the short round adapter to the elbow.  This allows the vertical tube to rotate like a hand on a clock and is helpful when standing the unit up and resting it to the ground.

I bought my second kit because the first one worked so well, I figured it was worth attempting to buy a second kit so that I could reach my 21' high gutters.  I was a little worried about this working because with just one kit I noticed the elbow flexing, and a small piece broke off the elbow.  I can't really call this a flaw, because I am using this product in a way that it wasn't designed for.  The extensions connect to each other by screwing together, except for the bottom most extension, which "clips" into the elbow, allowing the vertical tube to spin.  This caused me a problem because I had to use all of the extensions to reach the gutters and I couldn't "clip" the extra extension to anything... so I duct taped it to the top, which worked.

Performance wise, using 2 kits worked, but it's much much harder then just using 1 kit.  The kits bow a tremendous amount, making it very hard to direct air flow into the gutters.  Here is the technique I used:  Hook the nozzle onto the gutter and allow it's weight to keep it in place.  Twist it back a forth to blow air down both directions and when you need to move to a new section, slide it and by using the air flow to propel it.

Warnings when using 2 kits:
1. Watch were you walk, don't stare up when balancing the kits or you will be staring in a hilarious viral video.
2. You need to be somewhat strong/coordinated to handle 2 kits and it helps to be tall.
3. Debris has farther to fall, so make sure you wear eye protection.
4. Don't be surprised if the elbow breaks, I'm planning to replace it with a PVC elbow if both break.

I am very happy with these kits.  I have many trees, including several massive oaks that clog my gutters multiple times in spring and fall.  I am now able to clean out 173 feet of gutters in under 30 minutes without having to get on a ladder (unless I want to verify the gutters are clean, which they always have been).

Question: High Quality but some cons

Ok this case is high quality and feels great in hands. Wake function works perfect with covers and when u roll back front cover for stand it attaches via the magnets, making it sturdy.
With this high quality case u get some added weight, the whole purpose of getting the air was to keep product light weight but this seems to add half the weight that I lost from switching from ipad 2 to this one back on. There r magnets that the front cover clicks to when closed so the front cover doesn't slide all the time n turn screen on and off n kill battery, so that is great. Wish when front cover was flapped to the back, it also attached in some way. It only attaches when u roll the cover in stand position. So for the price n lifetime warranty it was a great buy but the added weight is the biggest con. I also hope the strong smell of glue goes away over time.

Works great with my Note 3.  Adjusts to fit almost any phone.  I had to swap the arm for a shorter one I had laying around and replaced the power adapter with a beefier one to charge faster. But it the cradle works great and I use it almost every day.  The only real complaint I have is the USB plug is too close to the release buttons so the cable sometimes gets in the way. They should have put the plug on the back.

Question: Huge upgrade over built in Vizio TV speakers.

I bought this sound bar from another retailer before Amazon had there sale on it.  It was purchased for a new Vizio TV which probably has the worst built in speakers/sound of any TV I have ever owned.  A sound bar or other external solution was pretty much necessary.  We have a HT system but can't and don't want to use it all the time so we went looking for an inexpensive sound bar.  These were still selling for around $180 but found them on clearance for $99.  Wanted the 3.0 for the center speaker for better dialogue reproduction.  For the price paid, this Vizio soundbar sounds good and voices are clear.  We use the built in volume leveling function which keeps the audio levels pretty well equal.  Using that feature does diminish the effectiveness of the simulated surround but functions can be changed quickly with the included remote control.  In our case, when we want surround sound, we use our HT system.  This also has bluetooth to allow for wireless music streamed from other bluetooth sources.  Personally, we don't use that feature but it's available.  Only downside we have found is that this is last years model so the Vizio Smartcast App on our android tablet doesn't control the volume.  I believe that it does with the 2016 Smartcast soundbars.  Most of our viewing involves using the satellite remote control which does control the volume of the soundbar so we rarely have to bother with more than one remote control.  It's not "audiophile" sound quality but I cant imagine beating it for the price.  My rating is based on the sound and features along with price paid.

My wife just loved this Appa.  It's quite big, but I was hoping it would be bigger.

It's about the size of a med-large dog.  The quality of the materials used is good and the fur is really soft.  It's probably not worth the money, but seeing how much my wife loved it made it worth it.

Question: Technical Details published by the seller

recently bought the product because in the Product Features and Technical Details published by the seller, was as follows:
"We are working on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies for GSM / GPRS / EDGE and operates at frequencies 800/850/1900/2100 MHz for 3G."

So to receive the equipment, then after a while to activate it on my local telephone company only works with EDGE and not 3G, without knowing why, and it investigates why the product is acquired only for GSM 850/900 / 1800/1900, HSDPA 900/1700/2100, ie 3G bands 1,4,8 and not all as advertised, so it is not an international version, since it does not work in the bands 1,2,5,6 , to work on 3G.

Add that as of today there are no specifications in any of that information by the seller.

As a matter of time until now I can write after my purchase, I known that I disagree with the product, not recommended until they are completely sure what are the characteristics of the team, because nothing will work a team of these, because its cost is very high and do not get 100% profit.

As a jeweler, i needed a temporary place to store beads and other findings
and this was perfect!

Question: He liked it, but I didn't think it was as ...

I got this as a gift for someone. He liked it, but I didn't think it was as shiny as expected.

I like the feel of this brush on my gums much more than my Sonicare.  It rotates at 4 speeds instead of just vibrating.  The silicon cup within the brush holds paste very well and my teeth feel polished afterwards just like after a dentist visit.  I appreciate the travel container and brush head organizer, I do not use them yet but I am glad to have them if the need arrises.

I like the shape of the handle and the icons that show the level selected.  I do wish you could select and then activate because it starts at the default setting every time and you have to re-select your level, which I do looking in the mirror since paste would fly everywhere if I took it out of my mouth.

After back to back pregnancies I am trying to get my gums back in shape, the feather setting is very good for this.  Who knew pregnancy hormones reeked havoc on your gums?!

I am very glad to have this and use it exclusively now, my Sonicare is collecting dust.

Question: A promising notion that fails to deliver

There are two earmarks in this novel that mark it as a first effort: First, the author flails in the center of the story, running the characters around in directions that rarely have an ultimate purpose. The imaginative and authentic parts in this tale could easily be condensed into a novella or even a long short story.

Second, the author repeatedly skims over the surface of his story, neatly avoiding emotional depth and not exploiting the juicy, gutsy elements. He sidles up to the heat, then backs away, sidles up, backs away. There are near-misses too numerous to count. Over and over, Henry and Aniday internally consider all they want to say to their female companions...but then they just don't. After Henry disappears into a German library for twelve or fourteen hours while on their honeymoon (during which time he takes a young librarian out for coffee to get information) Tess doesn't say ANYTHING about his absence. Not buying it! Donohue just doesn't want to spill any real emotional blood on the page, and frankly, that is the very hard work of writing fiction--NOT backing off when things get intense. He doesn't even get real about sex, even on Henry and Tess's honeymoon. The `tiny penis' scene from Henry's early teens was just weird enough to carry fantastical verisimilitude, but when Henry marries and actual sex is available, the closest Donohue comes to describing their physical pairing is to say they had a lot more sex in Czechoslovakia. One tasteful description of sex adds metric tons of realism to a human story.

There are other problems, too. Why does it take such a long time to choose a replacement child? The description of the process doesn't sound as though it should take decades, if not more than a century. As another reviewer asked, if they could simply turn up in civilization, why didn't they?

While the character of Aniday starts out as an interesting mix of confusion and navet, the character of Henry is a droner. His internal monologue is grim, pessimistic, and unrelentingly self-centered--boring.

Other than Spech, the female characters are flat as smashed pennies. The female fairies are hardly distinguishable from one another and they seem to be there mainly to be sexually exploited. The females in Henry's life are not persons, but limp plot devices, there to make some point about Henry's life. The mother is a stereotypical doting mom, the sisters are stereotypically  mouthy kids/teens, Tess is a girlfriend character straight out of a romance comic book--yawn.

My experience with The Stolen Child was hauntingly familiar to my experience with The Historian: When does the story happen???

The first in the Bone Secrets series, Hidden gets things off to a rough start. Like all of the novels in this series, it's well written. But this early novel has some plot holes in terms of the investigation, as well as some Kindle formatting issues that make changing points of view confusing. Most irritating, however, is the approach to the romance; Hidden is a novel where Men Are Men and Women Are Only Slightly More Multi-Faceted. Gender is definitely a polarised plot device in the book, with a large but indistinct cast of possessive, protective, roaring, chest-thumping males running around.

The novel also includes the immortal line: "Even a lesbian would react to the raw testosterone that pumped in the air around him." CRINGE.

Happily, the author seems to find her feet as the series progresses, and though they occasionally still peek above the precipice, there is much less reliance on this kind of stereotype to build characters.

Question: Good for the weekend warrior

I use Oregon chains on my Husky 455 Rancher with great success.  This particular chain, the Vanguard is similar to the stock Husky chain and ones you'll find in hardware stores. These have the anti-kick back design which I find to be useless to anyone except for the occasional user or someone who probably shouldn't be using a chainsaw in the first place.  I can maybe cut 1/8th of a cord with these before they wear enough that the depth gauge reduces cutting, even though it's still sharp.  If you know what you're doing, you can grind down the depth gauge to allow it to cut longer, but it will kick back harder since you're altering the design and eliminating the extra material.  The plus side is on a fresh resharpen I can get about 3 times the cutting time with an altered and reduced depth.  If you're looking for a good chain and know how to use a chainsaw without needing an emergency room visit, I'd recommend looking into the SuperGuard and Chisel blades from Oregon.  I can get a cord & more easily with those and they resharpen nicely, cut fast and are usually cheaper.

I love the look, the feel, and the weight; it feels so solid, and the handle has a pretty marbleized effect. Today we used it for grilling. First we turned the ribs with it (we forgot to bring out the tongs, which do work better for ribs) and then we used it for the hamburgers. Perfect! Especially since some of them crumbled; we could scoop up the pieces easily. I love it!

Question: Damn you, John O'Brien!!!!!

I say that because I downloaded this book and couldn't put it down.  I made the mistake of starting it in the early evening.  I finished it late at night and of course, I had to have more.  So, I downloaded the "Return" and read that until the sun came up!
You owe me a night's sleep!

These were both great books and I cannot wait until the next one comes out.  Very nice job!

I really like it, I used everyday, but is really hard to take off the smell of the food

Question: Great chairs but somewhat awkward.

Great chairs as a whole. However they are not "one-handed" at all, requires you to sit in them to set up each time. By default when they are opened up to set up on the sand, they open in the reclined position, so require you to sit in them to set them up as chairs. Fold up requires you to hold them upside down and grab both sets of legs, (front and back), get your hands sandy, then fold. Then you turn them over again to latch the carry handle. Make sure the cooler and the pouch zippers are closed or stuff will fall out when folding up. Two of my 4 chairs (less than a month old) have the straps on the backpack part tearing out of the seam, so these will be going in for return/replace.
For me these chairs are very comfortable. Glad I have them.

My husband really liked it - he's the one who installed it.  He said it was easy!  Would order another like it if needed.

Question: but the day after Christmas we're returning both items because they are very flimsy and break easily. With regard to the Smash B

Got two Air Hogs items this Christmas.  My kid was really excited, but the day after Christmas we're returning both items because they are very flimsy and break easily.  With regard to the Smash Bots, we haven't even bought the 10 batteries yet and one of the weapons broke off a robot's hand as we were taking the robots out of the box.  Air Hogs has lots of great concepts, but poor products.  I wish they made things sturdier.  My disappointed son has opted for sturdier Lego sets instead.

Really like 'em. Fit well, lightweight, distortion free, look great. Unike the same brand aviators I bought at the same time, these frames seem as light, much more solid.

Question: good pen for the money

We got this pen for my husband for a gift for Christmas to go with a schedule book that we also purchased.  I would have given it 4 and a half stars, but since they don't allow it, it got the 4 stars.  The only reason it didn't get all 5 stars is that the first pen came and didn't work at all.  We contacted the seller and asked for an exchange and they were great with their customer service, etc...  Everything else went well and when we got the second pen- it works fine.  Thanks!!

I couldn't be happier with a bedspread.  Fine Quilting and closely stitched.  The quality was exceptional especially for this low price.  The colors are cheerful and complementary with my celery green walls.  The weight is just right for today's well insulated homes.
I had a duvet that was filled with polyester down and it was hot, hot, hot.  This quilt breathes.  Love the fine sham that came with it
as it has the European border making it look very classy.

Question: These Walls Could Not Contain My Cat's Accidental(?) Overshooting

Bought this because my cat decided one day that "aiming down" when pee'ing no longer suited her lifestyle.  I though this would do the trick but it did not... because my cat still managed to pee over the edge.  * sigh *

I did eventually find a product that worked: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087Y5NKS  The sidewalls on this monstrosity have so far stopped my cat's accidental(?) overshoots.

I got this delivered and on time as stated. I put my activation code number in to my Scan n Cut Canvas program and the little icon came up and pointed me to the designs. Nice and useful designs plus you can make your very own designs.  I Then checked out all the 100 designs. They are now in my canvas for this product. It came with the accessories as listed on the package. I have not tried it out yet but that is the plan. You get a ruler, that is used to smooth out the sticker and laminate. You get a seam ripper I guess that is used for lifting up the stamp off of the peel stick backing before you place the sticker on to your object.
There are instructions in the pack on how to make stickers. the size of the laminate and sticker paper is 8.3x11.7. or what is known as A4. You get 3 printable sheets and 3 laminate sheets. I think enough to print out multiple stickers from one sheet one at a time. If you are a big sticker maker then get the sold separately sticker paper and laminate paper packs. I have printed out a booklet of how to make projects from the Brother site.
It is called Project Ideas & Instructions for ScanNCut "Tips for Bringing Your Craft Ideas To Life"
In that booklet is a project using the sticker pack. It suggests that when using the ruler to smooth out the laminate that you cover the ruler with a cloth to get a smoother movement action from the ruler when laminating.
If you have not yet go over to the Brother site Scan N Cut and look for the booklets and print them out. The type is a bit small so for those of us that are far sited you will have to look very close or use a magnifying glass. However the projects are very nice and you can also find them on the scan n cut section of the Brother site.
I think I will like this product and use it to make stickers for pantry jars. I think I will make one for my tea container first and see how it works out.

Question: Very informative and amazingly rich read on ancient Egypt

I have read countless books about the ancient world and civilizations including Egypt, Rome, Greece, Assyrian, Sumerian, Babylonian, phoenician, scandavian, Asian Indian and little chinese, so I have an idea on chosing good books on this subject. And I tell you this book is one of the most informative book and it is so complete that any reading in the subject will make it just a repitition! It contains a geart text, numerus clear pictures and drawings with awesome illustrations which allow you to imagine what was it to live in their time.  It covers all the aspects, starting from the very begining prehistory, ealy, middle, late, Greco-Roman periods.  Also covers almost all aspects of their life, Gods, cults, state society, houses, cities, Arts, lifestyle, Palaces, daily life Royal administration and its organization, military, political, mumification, burial and much much more. It contains a very valuable appendecies (Gods of ancient Egypt, list of historic sites, rulers of Egypt, Egypt collections, and chronological synopsis). I visited Egypt three times and I saw pictures in the book that I have never seen. What I like most is there are some drawings that reconstruct temples, palaces and monuments which provides a clearer image of site rather than just pictures of ruins.  I enphusise again on the pictures included in addition to the easy to read text.

Totally works for our dog- we now keep it on the couch with no batteries and keeps the dog off!

Really? This is actually a literary work or something? I don't think so. Disappointed that this is actually listed...clean up your act Kindle.

Bought this last month. Price point very reasonable, I was able to assemble, and I am not mechanical.

The bench sits very low, even with the 2 way adjustment. I am too low at my desk.

However, it's real wood, and offers very good value.

Question: Good product, worth for the money and save time

I bought it as a handy tool for home use. It worked well on removing the cap of old water tap in kitchen. The reason I don't give 5-start is that the bottom edges of two puller arms are not very solid and I have to hold it tight on the cap of the water tap. Otherwise, it can not grab the edge of the water tap cap easily. However, as long as you know the tricky, it is not bad. It is good for home use but may not be good enough for tradesman. The nice part of this product is that it saves time.

Got this for the Samsung S7 Active and it is great. Color is true to photo. Makes phone bulky so if you don't like that, this isn't for you. I like that it make the phone feel bigger. It has a rugged look and the built in screen protector works great. Comfortable to hold and easy to put on.

Question: Nice kitchen item at a great price.

I knew my oven was inconsistent. I'm pretty sure it was original equipment for my 25 year old house. And like everything else about this house, I can find equivalent replacements for doors, light fixtures and faucets in the bargain bin at Home Depot. I shouldn't be surprised that the appliances are of similar quality.

I wish I could say that this little item solved all my problems. But all this digital thermometer told me was that my oven was emotionally incapable of maintaining anything resembling a consistent temperature. The temperature on the knob bore absolutely no relation to the temperature in the oven. Turning the temperature knob up or down produced completely random results.  So with tax refund check in hand, I purchased a new oven. I would like to drag the old oven out into the street and shoot it like a mad dog, but discharging firearms within city limits is apparently illegal, even in Texas. But I digress.

This thing saved me months/years of frustration trying to work with an unworkable appliance by showing me how truly awful my oven is in a very consistent, verifiable manner. The thermometer simple to use, and the 20 hour timer is a nice feature. I use it to remind me that my 12 hour dough rise has, in fact, been rising 12 hours.

My only quibble is that the cable for the probe is pretty short. I'd planned on sticking it to the control panel on the back of the stove, but the wire length is entirely inadequate. I'd happily pay an extra 5 bucks to get another 2 feet (0.00303030303 furlongs) for a little extra flexibility in placement.

Other than that minor aside, it works great. The price can't be beat. I'll still use to with my new oven as a double-check on the oven's own thermometer. To quote Ronald Reagan: "Trust, but verify. Especially when baking bread."

Even though I got pretty good at determining when my oven reached 450 degrees by touch alone, this thermometer is almost completely pain-free. And doesn't raise near as many blisters.

For the price of this thing, it should be as standard in the kitchen as a spatula or wooden spoon. 20 bucks is cheap insurance in case your oven decides it wants to report its temperature in Celsius or Kelvins for the day without notifying you.

If you use your oven, buy this thermometer.

Haven't read any story quite like this one or the first & second in this series this one being the third, got hooked on #1  couldn't resist and had to buy #2  read that one and had to purchase this one #3 couldn't be happier all three were page turners couldn't wait had to read the whole d*+n thing best purchases in a long while

Question: Timmerman's disingenuousness is transparent

Kenneth Timmerman's *Countdown to Crisis* is a blatant work of propaganda.

*Countdown to Crisis* is a poorly documented, incoherent, and all but unreadable collage of Woodwardesque snippets that rely on two-dimensional caricature, innuendo delivered in a knowing tone, breathless communication of undocumented and, one often suspects, invented rumors, and incoherent assemblages of factoids, all based on a Manichaean view of Iran as evil, the United States as good, and other world powers as cynical or decadently inert.

In many cases Timmerman's disingenuousness is transparent.  Despite the impression one gets from the reviews and endorsements that appear on this website, Timmerman's claims have in fact been endorsed only by right-wing propaganda organs like the *Washington Times* and the web pages FrontPage and NewsMax.  The enthusiastic reception of this book shows signs of being the work of propagandists as well.

Juan Cole exaggerated somewhat when he wrote (Informed Comment, Apr. 1, 2006):  "Timmerman is taken seriously by the White House, Congress, and the U.S. press," but was right in the rest of his remarks:  "[B]ut in fact [Timmerman] has no credibility as an Iran expert (at Informed Comment we like our Iran experts to know Persian, the way you'd expect an expert on France to know French; we're funny that way).  Even the usually canny Jon Stewart gave Timmerman a respectful hearing.  --  French philosopher Michel Foucault defined `representation' as a process whereby a culture creates a stereotype of something and then substitutes the stereotype for the reality forever after.  Once a `representation' is established, the reality can never challenge it, since any further information is filtered through the representation.  The `representation' of Iran as a nuclear power, when it just has a couple hundred centrifuges (you need thousands) and is not proven even to have a weapons program, is becoming powerful and unchallengeable in the U.S. media."

It's been about a month since I've had it, and I've fallen madly in love with this DELL laptop.  I have the upgraded version with SSD drive, and the quickness of boot, wake up/sleep and shutdown is amazing, just like a tablet.  DELL did an amazing job here, putting together all the best features of an iPad and Windows PC.

Windows 10 rocks, it's easy to use and makes me feel like old windows all over again.

I put together a desktop setup for this laptop.  Already had a monitor, bought an external 3GB HD drive, and keyboard/mouse.  So it's easy to use on my desk when I need a bigger screen, and still take it into the living room, kitchen, all over the house when I need a super portable laptop.

The weight doesn't bother me at all.  In fact, I easily rest it in my lap, with the keyboard folded behind the screen.  It's about 3x as heavy as an iPad, but I really hardly feel the extra weight.

The 13 inch touchscreen is so easy to use, and comes in handy when keyword is folded.  I also use the touch screen even when I have the keyboard in front of me, since it's so easy.

The touch feedback and sounds when you touch the screen and type are high quality and very unobtrusive.  At the same time, they help you navigate and let you know what you're typing and touching.

Value for the price is outstanding.

I thoroughly enjoy using the Humidifier, it's small, quiet and highly portable, not like the more cumbersome humidifiers.  It works as advertised and recommend it completely. Five stars

Question: More than a biography of the pop star

Although Belieber engagingly introduces Justin Bieber - his story, spirituality, intimate family and friends - to readers, the book offers so much more. For parents like myself, it reminds us to talk with our children about the artists they love - and gives us great ideas about what kinds of questions to ask.  There's so much to like about this book - and my daughter loves the (many) pages of color photos of the singer in the center of the book. I know it will continue to be a conversation starter with my girls - about the music they like, the celebrities they admire, and about their own spiritual journeys.

This is a very musical album from a very gifted Pacific Northwest artist. A staple of the Seattle music scene - LeRoy Bell's latest indie cd is all over the map stylistically mixing hints of rock, jazz and pop--but always kept Individual by this artist's unique vocal line. A far cry from Bell's initial r n b stylings for Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss' A&M record label when Boogying with partner James gave him his first chart hit --Bell is now a solo act whose work conjures up memories of the great analog sounds of balladeers Cat Stevens, Murray Head, Shawn Phillips, Richie Havens with a bit of mid career Seal thrown in for good measure.  Bell rocks (Voodoo), lectures (Father to Son), loves (You Lied to Me), Beachboys (21rst Century Man), and pleas and begs in Universal Speak (Dream of Peace).  Support musicians include the best on the Seattle musical scene:  jazz, rock and classical mavens all.  Try this one and support vibrant songwriting, playing, vocals and production. You could like it.

First time these were ordered they were to small- they were returned- the new boots fit fine.

People may say that you cannot expand the memory for apps, which is not true. There is an option to move your apps to the micro sd card. All around this tablet is amazing and does everything you need and more, I know a lot about specs on tablets and for the money this is the best tablet yo could buy. The nexus7 is less but it is not as nice. This is sleeker, nicer, and smoother. The screen is fluent. The whole tablet is awesome, I would suggest it for anyone who wants a qality item.

Question: Works great.  Really helped with increasing the surface flow.

I ordered this to help with a surface flow issue at our small community pool 40'X60' (5ft max).  We could not get the skimmers to work at optimal performance no matter what we tried.  The stuff would never pull to the skimmers and when they did it would slow the suction to a point where you could see nothing was moving.  I ordered one of these and replaced one of the four skimmer "bobber" type of skimmer tops as a test.  I chose the deep end skimmer with the most junk.  Within minutes you could see the change in the surface flow.  I left it to work overnight and it worked very well.

Note that the nut/bolt system to secure the top to the basket is a bit challenging to work with.  The nut is so small and there is no way to attach the lower nut and washer to the long bolt outside of finger tight.  I fear that this will come lose and end up in the pump.  I might try to glue or weld the nut to the bolt.

Anyway...works great so far and will likely order a few more for the rest of the skimmers.

This story was so hard but the author was able to pen the story with so much love and caring  the characters came alive and it was today. The characters were our friends and families.

Question: If you want to become effective in self defense, then this book is a must to read AND implement in your training.

Fantastic self defense book. The author really nails the essence of Self Defense. You have to train against an uncooperative opponent, otherwise you cannot learn to defend against them. This book is filled with practical tips and mind set changing insights. My training style has changed, and feel more confident in defending myself in completely unpredictable situations.

My compliments to the author! This is money well spent.

Now for a side note in response to the person who rated this book with one star... (AKAKFP). I personally believe that he has totally misunderstood the authors intent... that you need to do more than just practice moves. You need to practice in true life (unpredictable) situations and uncooperative opponents. What use is self defense if you can't effectively use it (with minimum of force) outside the training area? There mere fact that AKAKFP rates this with one star leads me to believe that AKAKFP's focus is on the art of self defense (making it look nice and scoring points in competitions) instead of effective self defense. Or maybe AKAKFP's statement "nothing new" should be interpreted as: "This book shows you the  most effective way to learn techniques and gain skills, that would otherwise have cost you years (and lots of money) to acquire."

In summary: If you want to become effective in self defense, then this book is a must to read AND implement in your training.

This is the perfect drafting pencil. I've been using it since I was drafting in architecture school. It's super precise, though delicate. If you like a really fine, sharp point, this is for you.

Question: Test your gear immediately!

Beware, the problems are real. If you decide to buy it, make sure you test it immediately! If you receive a bad pack or bladder, return it for a good one. I can recommend this pack, WHEN you get a good one. The first one of these packs I bought was trouble-free. Both the pack and water bladder were of decent quality and lasted more than a year. When it was getting close to its end of life, I ordered another. Believing I'd be receiving the same quality pack, I put it away and waited until I actually retired the first pack. When I went to use the new pack, the bladder significantly leaked around the valve affixed to the bladder, which appears to be a common problem listed in these reviews. I put the still working, identical bladder from the first pack into this new pack and went hiking. During the first use of the new pack, the water bladder compartment's zipper stitching came apart. Because I waited to test the pack and bladder until after the return window closed, I'm left with a useless water bladder and a pack with untrustworthy stitching. That was my fault for not testing it when I got it. I had a good experience with the first pack and was happy. If you test your gear before your return window closes, you should be able to ensure you get a pack you're happy with.

was great for a year and then it started to dim more and more I don't think it will be long before its toast!....and It never touched water or got wet....what a dissapointment! save your money and buy something else!

Question: LOOK NO FUTHER ! This is a winner !!!

Wow ! Amazing ! I'm so happy with this purchase ! Perfect shape , size , arrived in a box , took it out unrolled it , very shortly after it was full size!

After owning a pair of Sony MDR-V900 for well over 10 years I thought it a good time to break down & upgrade to the advances made in the last decade with a dive into `wireless technology'. Unfortunately what I received upon the $170 purchase of these "top of the line" headphones was thin bass free, static laden audio that was sub FM sound quality at best. The reception on these is worse than my cordless phone (I live in a small apt & the sound fades if I walk into my bedroom which is well under 50 feet away!). These might be ok for soft-core listeners who might need to run to the kitchen for a snack while watching a movie or something but not for anyone who takes music listening a bit serious (my beat old Sony's still sound better by far!). To boot these are constructed out of plastic that is the quality of milk jugs & the audio channels (R/L) are backward.
Hope I can break even on eBay...

Question: Delicious Healthier Alternative To Frying

Very good. A much healthier alternative to frying. Wonderful alternative. The whole family liked it and asked for more.

Firstly, this bike is stunning in appearance! The metallic paint is gorgeous! Every detail seems just perfect. As to the quality of this bike, I can give it five stars. We bought ours locally, so it came assembled, and all we had to do was some very minor seat adjustments.
Now, why do I think this bike is so terrific? Well, when we bought this bike, we also bought a Huffy cruiser bicycle. It seemed nice enough, and was a little cheaper, so we thought we would save a little money. Within the first hour of riding these two bikes, the Huffy was clanking and popping and more difficult to pedal, while the Sanctuary sailed along as easily and smoothly as silk. Huge difference in the two bikes! The very same day that we bought these two bikes, we returned the Huffy and bought a second Sanctuary 7!
The saddle is wide enough for me and comfortable, but some people may prefer a wider seat, although this seat is 10 inches wide. Shifting is easy and the pedaling action is, as I said before, smooth as silk! We couldn't be more pleased. Definitely worth spending a little more to get quality!

Question: Love it! It was a gift for my daughter

Love it! It was a gift for my daughter.  This cup put a smile on her face.  Just what I ordered.  Thank you.

I love this printer!  I see that a lot of people don't like that it has the instant ink feature but I think its the best thing. I pay just $2.99 month and don't ever have to worry about running out of ink or buying more!  When its running low HP automatically sends you ink refills at no additional charge! I even found some codes online and got the first 4 months for free! I think its a great deal since the ink is so expensive on its own.  I also like that its not huge.  I will say that I probably wouldnt recommend it if you are always printing a lot of documents because it is not very fast, but works great for what I use it for!

Question: I had tried the shoes on in a store so ...

I had tried the shoes on in a store so I knew they ran a little small so I order the size accordingly.

I ordered one of these a while back. Eastman Outdoors makes good jerky products, I have been using them for years. It did work well for me, but I recently found the 3 tier version, also from Eastman Outdoors. Same construction, non-stick but has an exra tier. Im glad I got the bigger one now, I can make more in less time. For a few dollars more, it was worth it. I had no problem with the non-stick, not sure why others did. The construction of it is good, after all, I don't need to stand on it! It holds the meat well in the oven. I left one star off of this item because of its smaller size. Otherwise, its good.

Question: Age has not been kind, Jean-Claude...

All right, I admit it.  This is a pretty useless film as far as film buffs go.  But place yourself back in grade 7 when we first saw this film and you'll realize exactly what we liked about it.
It had to have been the well-choreographed (for a low-budget flick), well-glossed production of what's basically a b-level action film, but even then you couldn't deny Jean-Claude Van Damme had a certain charisma to him.  And I couldn't tell you how many times we re-enacted the fights in our backyard.
Obviously enough people agreed at the time, because it wasn't long before he started making bigger-budgeted movies like Hard Target and Timecop; but this is where he struck paydirt first.  It has my favourite old school villain Yeung Tze (Bolo Yeung--underused in this film, with regard to technical ability), some unbelieveably bad acting all around, and a superb score by Mark DiSalle, who's early-techno beats really help make the fight scenes work.
Years later, we all know this film has aged badly, even when you throw it to the designation of 'camp-classic.'  But where Van Damme films are concerned (especially his later films), you could do much, much worse.

This is the first splatter screen that is durable. The others I purchased have been flimsy and the screen tears. Not this one. So far so good. Folding handle makes it easier to store.

Question: Get these little dippers, they are great!

Finally got these after using the easy lunchboxes all school year, they are a great addition and have given me more choices of what I can pack my son- I've used these for yogurt, applesauce, ketchup, and maple syrup (breakfast for lunch). No leaks, easy to clean and the perfect size. I even use them when I'm not using the lunch boxes and still no leaks. I highly recommend these.

I have used H&R Block for the past four years; and I have never had installation problems. This year, updating the program was a major pain. Trying to update the program with the "automatic" update feature failed repeatedly. Trying to update the program with the file downloaded from the H&R block website failed repeatedly. Only after changing the folder security settings in the Program Files directory was I able to update the program. (After 1 hr+ of trial and error.) In past years, it took me less than an hour to complete my taxes with H&R block software. This year it took me that long just to get the program updated. Hopefully the rest of the program isn't this difficult this year.

Oh my gosh, too many characters that seemed under developed.  The story rambles  and is silly and childish in parts.  Seems out of character that  Carolina is "trying to find herself.  Slow moving with a marginal  plot.  Actually I found it hard to stay focused and quite boring.  Sorry - not my cup of tea!

Question: Bread Paisley 10 stars

Great great great.  Bread Paisley just keeps getting better.

Flashlight is intense and beam is adjustable. I've only used this item with the rechargeable batteries. The only negative comment I have is that this item came to me with no instructions. I contacted the seller and they sent me instructions via email on how to insert the batteries into the flashlight and the charger. When dealing with rechargeable batteries it is "normally" important to know a) which end of the battery should be inserted first into the flashlight and b) how to insert the battery into the charger. I've personally had a bad experience trying to charge a battery the wrong way and inserting a battery the wrong way into various electronics. I don't know what would happen if someone inserted the battery incorrectly into this flashlight. I hope it just wouldn't work. I also don't know what would happen if someone tried to and charge it backwards. I'm hoping it just wouldn't charge or there would some indication that the battery wasn't inserted correctly.

For those that want to know, when inserting the rechargeable battery into the flashlight, insert the positive end first inside the plastic sleeve that came with the item. For the battery charger please see the attached image.

I hope this review helps someone prevent a potentially serious issue.

Question: If you treat your phones well this is your case.

Pros:
 - shows off sleek design of phone and enhances with splash of color
 - light weight plastic
 - rubberized surface easier to grip than phone
 - when set face down, raises the screen just enough so it is not touching the surface.
 - perfect cut outs.
 - does not interfere with buttons [only other case ive owned (because im super picky) messed with them]
 - does not add bulk - at all
 - price?! Seriously? this perfect case is this inexpensive and waaaay better looking and more functional that the best selling s3 cases.

Cons:
 - cannot use stand for portrait orientation [do people really want that anyway?]

Who needs a dock. drop the kickstand and plug her in.

I am very good with my phones and other electronics so I have no need for a ton of protection.
This is a .perfect. case.
The kickstand is very strong and durable.
Other cases with a stand like this rely on a ridge of plastic to keep the stand in place. This one uses metal guides that snaps into slots when the stand is up. It is very well designed.

The one thing that sets this apart from most slim shells is that this one COVERS THE CORNERS.
[Who wants a case that covers the sides an exposes the most likely part to get hit in a drop?]

After ordering the thought that the stand was white crossed my mind, but don't worry it stays clean.
I have fairly moist hands and this thing doesnt pick up any fingerprints from me which is hard for me to find.

You have to admit - if you have an s3 it is hard to find a case that doesn't make your phone look like a dumb toy.
Anymode did this right, it looks great on both the blue and white s3's. If you're patriotic, get it for your red s3. You won't be disappointed.

[Dear Anymode, please make this for the s4 or I may cry.]

Nice color, good for small spaces and easy to put together.  My daughter likes it very much and likes the size of the mirror.

Question: Just ok but do keep the sun off

My wife bought these and wore them in a jacuzzi once and swimming in a lake 7 times. Each time they were rinsed in cold water and hung to dry in the shade.  After 2 months, the fabric began to lose elasticity and the ankles gaped with scattered areas of unflattering puckering of the fabric.  Waistband elastic remained in shape. Got a few scrapes in the fabric from tree branches in the yard. Didn't take much to snag them superficially.  Wife prefered a very similar item she bought at a garage sale for $1, made by Northface. The Northface item is probably for winterwear but is actually made of the same type of nylon fabric and also keeps the sun off.  The Northface weave is tighter and probably disperses less heat in the sun, but no appreciable difference.  The northface item was probably a decade old when she bought it and went through about the same usage as the coolibar tights and the fabric remained like new.

In retrospect, I would not buy this item for the price. Preferred the $1 garage sale item.

This player can do no wrong. He has great taste and greater skill and ability.  Awesome!

Great conclusion to this series.  Full of twists and turns and action and suspense.  Must read for those who have read the other two of the series.

NOT VEGAN.

I just checked on Merrell's site, found they were not listed as vegan, then chatted w/their support, who told me they are NOT VEGAN.  When I asked what about them specifically is not vegan, they checked then came back and said it looks like part of the upper material is LEATHER.

Question: I love my elephant safari pants

I bought these pants for a vacation in Thailand, because they are light, breathable, and dry quickly. Plus, they look presentable - almost like wearing khakis. Thus, I didn't get too hot even though I had long pants on (essential to avoid bug bites in the hill country). They have a lot of stretch to them, which allowed me to enjoy hours of elephant riding instead of chafe. Will be bringing these on our Kenyan Safari this year. I've never fallen in love with a pair of pants before these.

The Purpose Driven Life is a book that requires two levels of commitment. The first level of commitment is to actually complete the reading. Each chapter is very thorough and it takes a while to go through the whole book. The second level is to follow through on the challenges Rick Warren puts forth and to allow God make changes in your life. I would recommend reading this book as a group. It produces some great discussions.

Question: Folk Songs Of Guyana (Bambo Fire) Guyanese Folk Songs

Bamboo Fire (Guyanese Folk Songs) teleports one to Guyana and the richness of its folk culture. The songs were beautifully sung by the multi-talented  Emmel Singers with such names as Lynette Dolphin being the Musical Director, Background notes from Arthur Seymour & Frank Pilgrim...need I say more about the depth of this production! This CD is a rare collector's edition of an original production. Get it while it's still available! It, AND its twin, CD album, Jane Enggage is available on Amazon.com. These two are a must-have. Excellent remaster and remix!----This review is excerpted from Caribbean Diary Magazine and written by its Assistant Editor, Nadia de Frietas.

Is beautiful and handy!!
I ordered the expensive one, it's more expensive because it comes with the electrical cord, and I say is well worth it. You don't have to worry about where or how to connect your blow dryer or curling iron. I love it and good quality too.

I have used the Math 8 and Algebra 1 Station Activities for years. I was really excited when I foubd this Station Activity book by the same company as my others. Even high school students enjoy these station activites. Small amount of prep time is helpful.

Great book about the hangman, not his daughter, which is fine with me. But the title seems contrived. You'll enjoy this book.  Lots of great characters and unexpected scenes.

Question: workmanship on the inside is uneven

The idea is great and for most part the storage is good, but some of the sewing on the pocket plastic is uneven and way to small.  About 6 of the holder slots were uneven and one slot was so small it would only hold a 3 inch embossing folder.  If the quality control were better, I would give this a 5.

My phone, in this phone case, flew off the top of my car going 50mph.  (I accidently left it on top of my car).  Hit the concrete part of the road.  I was amazed that when i found it, it had no cracks, no scratches and was incredibly damage free.  I will always buy this brand!

Question: Star Wars Blu-ray: EPIC FAIL

There really isn't too much to say here. With only a 4k transfer rate and a lack of special features...why would I (or you) shell out another $90.00 for a poor reworking of a classic? Furthermore, it is only 5.1 surround sound and not 7.1. In fact, it isn't even the classic episodes 4-6, it is the new versions with too much cgi and Hayden appearing as the ghost of Anakin at the end. Please, do yourself a favor and don't buy this...for yourself, or your kids. IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Wait a year or two when a collector's edition comes out with what everyone is waiting for (like the original edition).

Finally, a heroine that isn't a lip-biting ingenue! This was such an easy, fun read, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a well written light romantic comedy. It features a great premise, strongly drawn setting, multi faceted primary and secondary characters, witty dialogue and humor, as well as an engaging love story.

Question: This is *not* quantum physics

I saw the title and was interested in the connection between quantum physics and weight. It turns out, despite the best attempts of the author, that there isn't any.

The first section of the book is an attempt to build a foundation on principles from physics. Classical physics leads to bad results, such as treating our body like a machine. This is fair enough: we are more than mere machines, and simplistic diets which assume so are likely to fail. Then he discusses a few results from quantum physics, and generalizes them to a philosophy of everything. He displays his lack of understanding of quantum physics, and in particular the scale on which it applies.

For instance, the observation of something does actually affect the thing being observed. You cannot examine the state of an electron in an atom without affecting that state - after the observation it may very well have more or less energy than before, and before the observation, the state cannot be determined. But the same idea does not apply in the same way to the table in my living room. Whether I look at it or not does not change the fact that it is sitting there in my living room. The most I could affect it is if I turn on the lights to check, and in the process increase its temperature some tiny bit, or run into it in the dark and shift it a short distance. But the table is really there - that much is not in question. It is certainly not true that "Your internal energy creates the material world outside of you" or "The material world does not pre-exist, awaiting your observation; you create the material world, through your observation, on a moment-by-moment basis."

The second section of the book actually gets around to how his philosophy applies to weight. He does not give any particular diet, but rather a mindset. The words diet and exercise contain bad connotations, and the fundamental trick is to feel good about them. If you think properly about eating and moving, following a few rules and tools that he gives, then you will fairly naturally be able to achieve and maintain a satisfactory weight. Whether these ideas work or not, I can't say, since I haven't tried them. I read the book out of curiosity about quantum physics rather than a way to lose a few extra pounds. My guess is that they could be helpful to some degree - thus two stars instead of one.

Another aspect of his system is being able to tell yourself stories, and giving yourself the freedom to tell the most positive and meaningful story about a situation. There is some value to this, even though the way he gets there is by trying to destroy the idea that there is true and false or good and bad. This sort of subjectivity collapses under its own weight, but there are other ways to support looking for positive aspects to even bad events and situations. And it is true that our attitudes have a huge influence on us, particularly when it comes to something like our weight, which is a combined result of our eating, activity, and overall health.

Nearing the end, he shows genuine confusion of contradictory religions, philosophies and his idea of quantum physics: "Call this energy what you will - God, your spirit, the universe, Brahman, source energy, Allah, Yahweh, the quantum field, etc. - the real 'you' is non-physical, and that is becoming more difficult to deny." These are not all the same. Names, identities and ideas really do matter. You cannot mix them all together and pretend they are identical. Science matters too, and is worth more than just as a springboard for philosophy.

I picked up the book while it was free. I don't recommend it unless you enjoy sifting through various philosophies to pick out which ones are worth keeping.

I've read criticisms of this effort, but one has to wonder if that criticism wasn't directed at this album solely because it was "disco influenced".  Regardless, songs like What A Woman Reallly Means and Independent Man are some of my favorites by Roberta Flack, and so to me it's a shame that this is the single album from her catalogue that hasn't (yet) made it to CD.

Great headset. I like the features that it has and the controllability. It does not provide that surround sound and deep bass like I prefer, but it is a great headset.

If you select your cutlery by how pretty or expensive it is, you may not want this knife.  This Santoku knife cuts and it cuts extremely well.  The reviewer who compares it to lasers is absolutely right;  it's horrificly sharp.  If you're not careful, the money you save buying this knife will be lost on Urgent Care charges to close that bleeding finger.  I do  put an occasional edge on it - about every three or four uses - but it's more of an  obligatory action than necessary one.  The blade feels thin and the plastic handle looks kind of cheap but  the secret polymers used in creating this handle make it incredibly slip resistant while the blade maintains a fine edge and saws through fresh meat like a Jonserreds chain saw on a New England Maple. A friend who does a lot of cooking loved using it when she came over to cook for me and she was so thrilled to get one for her going away gift that she mentions it frequently without any prodding.

I'm not trying to impress anyone, my linoleum floors are tough and hardy but not nearly as fancy as the ceramic tile I first priced.  I have a basic Ninja blender instead of a Bullet and I think I'm spoiling myself when my Viva paper towels arrive.  This knife is functional, easy to hold - even for small hands - and cuts like a, well, knife.

Question: A top quality ballpoint pen.

This pen is the real deal. I own several Fisher pens and this is hands down the best. If you are looking for a high quality ball point pen look no further.

As far as the ink, I started using Fisher overseas and continue to use them in a demanding environment today. I have experienced only reliability.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think it was a great start to the series as I am currently reading the second book in the series and it is equally as good as the first book in the series. I love that this series gives you a deeper look into the BDSM world than fan favorite books like Fifty Shades of Grey and other books looking to imitate it. This I believe gives a more realistic view into the world of BDSM. The characters are very likable and the heroine is strong and not weak willed or whiny which I find all too common in the romance genre in general. The man is protective and strong but also has an internal conflict he is dealing with that makes him vulnerable. I would definitely recommend this book and the second book in this series!

Question: Excellent Addition to your Fieldpiece DVM

If you own a Fieldpiece DVM for professional or personal use, this test lead kit makes your DVM a lot more useable. I use the Fieldpiece LT17A, which is only beautiful in the eye of the beholder LOL, but does everything from voltage (including thermocouple), amperage including microamps, resistance, capacitance, and temperature. Fieldpiece are the meter of choice for a lot of service technicans. Fieldpiece is about as hard to break as an anvil and while I don't recommend that you use it for a hammer, it might do reasonably well.

The only short coming IMHO is that it only includes a set of probe type test leads like most DVMs. I always seem to need one of the leads to have an alligator clip so I can connect it to ground and then I only have to deal with the one test lead. You are typically trying to hold the meter, hold one lead against ground, and then test something with the other lead. I've never been good at juggling.

What the Fieldpiece ADK7 Deluxe Test Lead Kit gives you are a set of alligator clips, test leads, and minature test leads with sharp points. By mixing these with the leads included in the meter you can quickly build up a set of leads for most applications.

The silicone cables are very sturdy and don't make you flinch when you have to test a 480v line.

While this test lead set is a little on the expensive side, it provides all of the normally needed additions to the test leads furnished with the meter.

Fieldpiece ADK7 Deluxe Silicone Test Lead Kit

All I can say is wow. This guy is so talented. Once again, American Idol proves that it cannot be trusted to identify the real talent. Let's see Taylor Hicks is embarassing himself and American Idol while Chris Daughtry is slamming out mega hits. First of all, I am not an American Idol fanatic who wanted to hear my "favorite idol's" CD. I am an avid music listener and like quality. This CD does not disappoint.  I have bought so many CD's in my lifetime and there are maybe 15-20 CD's in totality that I can name that I liked every single song on the CD. This is definitely one of them.  Obviously, I have my favorites..."It's not over"  and "What About Now" are my favorites but all of them are awesome. What About Now gives me cold chills everytime I hear it. I am so excited for Chris. He was so humble during American Idol, always gracious and professional. He is a hardworking man who obviously loves his family and did not let fame get in the way of his relationship with old band members, a true southern gentleman. Kudus to you Chris.  Once again, NC puts out a star.

Question: Good story and great art

This story is so entertaining. It started out kind of slow and it was a bit confusing in the beginning, but towards the end it really started to pick up. The  book says nothing about there being a sequel, but I hope there is because the ending was very inconclusive. But besides that it's a great read.

Great books for kids that have siblings. The author read to my youth group and they absolutely loved it!!! Thank you!!!

Question: Which twin does she love.

Twins who are as different as they can be, who love the same girl. The problem is one loves her as a friend and one is in love with her. The poor girl feels the same way but thinks they both see her as a friend. A serious accident and family secrets make for an interesting conclusion.

This is a great alternative to the normal "Operation" game.  My son, who loves dinosaurs, enjoyed answering the questions in order to pull out a bone.  The game could benefit from more questions.  Once you play it twice, the questions and answers become memorized.

Got the library today. I got it because it uses sentences and i thought it'd be good practice.  I found one mistake so far. It says Que tal? Bien, gracias. 'Que tal? is like What's up? so 'Bien, gracias' is not appropriate answer. I hate finding mistakes because then I wonder if there are mistakes I'm not catching. It will have a picture of a girl and randomly give her a name. Ive been replacing names with la nina, etc. because I think that'll be less confusing for my daughter.
