Question: Engrossing and Beautiful But an Ending Not for Everyone

Having been impressed by a couple of her Lovecraftian stories and her appearance as one of those interviewed for Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown, I decided to give one of her novels a try - particularly after hearing it was not only Lovecraftian but featured geology and paleontology.

Chance Matthews, grad student in paleontology, is alone in the world.  Orphaned at a young age, she's now without the grandparents, also geologists and paleontologists, who raised her.  Her friend Elsie committed suicide.  Grief stricken and trying to concentrate on her studies, she's in no mood to see ex-boyfriend Deacon, present gothish girlfriend in tow along with one Dancy Flammarion (evidently a character in several Kiernan works).  As if Dancy's albino looks and freakish insistence on seeing her wasn't enough, Dancy also insists Chance has to help her kill some monsters.  It's all a lot of mental patient crazy talk until Chance finds some strange fossils her grandmother secreted away before killing herself.  And it may just have to do with whatever Chance, Deacon, and Elsie saw one strange night, at novel's beginning, in the waterworks of Birmingham, Alabama.

Like most of the best Lovecraft inspired authors, Kiernan does no slavish imitation of Lovecraft.  The plotting owes as much to Beowulf Translated with an Introduction and Afterword by Burton as Lovecraft though Lovecraft gets an explicit mention (as does Algernon Blackwood, Lewis Carroll, and the poet Longfellow).  No characters, places, monsters, or books show up from Lovecraft.  The inspiration is more subtle in the physical appearance of the novel's menace and, particularly, in the promise of the novel's subtitle:  "A Novel of Deep Time".  For the menace is from deep time.  There is one beautiful passage where Chance has a vision of Alabama's Silurian age.  (And, for those who need it, Kiernan, formerly a professional paleontologist, provides a glossary of terms.)

And that beauty is part of another subtle promise Kiernan makes on the copyright page:  "The book is best read aloud."  Kiernan does provide read-aloud prose -- carefully paced, sonorous, and sprinkled with occasional coinages of her own.

Lovecraft characters almost always seem divorced from any life with family and friends, and that is definitely not the case here.  The trinity of Chance, Deacon, and Sadie are most definitely attached to other people - even if only their memories.

Kiernan tells her story with an interesting technique of describing a scene, often leaving the scene before its climax, and then going to another scene in the past which provides answers to the resolution of other scenes.

The one thing that may frustrate readers is the novel's end.  This story does not neatly resolve all the loose ends and mysteries.  As one character says, "Some stories don't have endings.  In some stories, there aren't even answers."  Kiernan's resolution is not neat, perhaps too messily like real life for some.  But it's obviously a considered choice not incompetence.  While I think not resolving major questions is a sin in some genres, I think it can be appropriate to a mystery horror novel of deep time, and it worked for me the more I think about it.

In other words, I was impressed by Kiernan the novelist as much as Kiernan the short story writer, and I'll be reading more of her.

Glutino gluten free crackers are probably the closest thing you can get to Ritz or club-like crackers. These crackers are crisp without feeling stale and have a nice crunch that I miss with regular crackers. The flavor is decent, I never ate crackers alone and I still don't, I judge the taste more on how well it pairs with dips, spreads and cheese. The flavor it subtle enough that you can put virtually anything on top. Be warned they get stale very quickly so keep them in a zip-lock bag even if they are in the box. The price of course is another downside but just like all other gluten free foods, I have developed an aversion to over-priced gluten free products.

So warm and cute. Went with almost any outfit and kept my feet warm during this past winter in the Northeast.

It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Mine had no nostrils or beard under the chin. Dissapointing  I bought it for my great grandson's nursery.

Question: A salt of the earth perspective

Very emotionally satisfying.  Creation, Israel, and the Covenant between G-d and the Chosen People.

My wife is a size 6,7,8 depending on what kind of cut the outfit is. She had trouble zipping it up when she tried it on so she had me do it. I could barely get it up and clasped but the shirt wasn't tight. I think I will get the zpper worked on or upgraded. Her measurements are 34C with a 29 inch waist and it fits snug but not tight and she plans to wear a bra with it. The back is smooth and shows love handles if you have them but she plans to wear it when the days are warm and the nights are cold so she can wear her leather coat over it. For the price the quality and fit is great.

Question: 2014 GMC Sierra SLT 1500 Crew Cap 355 hp V8

GMC  Sierra SLT 1500 4x4 Crew Cab Black/Chrome Trim

Beautiful Truck, great fuel mileage. Great leather interior  pulls my 19 foot enclosed trailer with ease.  Great ride.  Had re call on front 4X4 sensor.  Had recall on driver and passenager heated seats.  Oth issues fixed by dealer under warranty.  I would purchase again. I would recommend.

This knife is an amazing value. It may not be the best looking in my collection, but im sure it could outperform knives that I bought for  5 times as much. It has a very rugged build quality, and it can withstand a ton of abuse. This is the knife that I take backpacking and I beat on it, I use it for cooking, etc. No task it can't handle that another folding knife could.

The bushings that allow the blade to rotate are great, very easy to open and the lock has such a satisfying click when it engages. It also feels great in the hand.

Question: The beginnings of an entire genre.

I'd been thinking about reading some of the beginnings of science fiction, and this seemed like a good place to start.  It's an interesting read.  Clearly it's very much in the realm of speculative fiction, taking an unknown and postulating a story inside guesses of what it might contain, with the refreshing difference that the world of the unknown is one that's located "down" instead of the usual "up".

I was surprised to find, then, that despite the accolades that Verne has earned for over a century, I actually feel he's more successful as a scientist (or, more accurately, science enthusiast) than as a writer.  The characters never evolve from more than sketches - the timid protagonist, the obsessed and driven professor, their ever-taciturn Icelandic guide - and the plot really is as simple as "We will go under the earth for a long time, and then come back up."  It's notable that the most interesting parts of the story, to me, were those that were the most realistic: The amount of time it takes them to first plan their journey, then travel across the sea and land before reaching their entrance to below; as well as a scene later on when they're far underground, and the main character not only becomes separated from the others, and then lost, but also loses his only source of light!  This encounter was far more starkly terrifying, for instance, than the later scene when they're crossing the enormous underground ocean and narrowly escape a pair of giant, battling sea creatures.

Other slight detractors were the somewhat unbelievable length of time spent under the ground (you're carrying on your backs provisions to last three men for MONTHS?), as well as the bewildering fact that the explorers keep going down, down, down, with nary a thought mentioned as to how they might get back, or whether they'll even have enough supplies for the return journey - which one would naturally assume to take as long as the descent.  The fact that (in the end) it does not strikes one as both wildly implausible in its execution, and a bit of a cop-out.

Still, for all its faults the novel is rarely boring, and you really can see the beginnings of an entire genre in its wake.  If not the most successful novel in the world, it's still one well worth reading.

Intended to use this in mixed drinks - thus needed whole cherries, and stems are a nice touch.  Got the package, plastic air bags around the product.  Packing wasn't spectacular, but was OK.  Then I looked at the jar -- it looked like it had been opened, then re-sealed with clear packing tape.  There wasn't a nice factory seal around the top, but instead it looked like something that a grade-school kid would do.  I would have been reluctant to buy hardware repacked in such a fashion, much less something edible.

Then I looked at the contents.  There were no "whole cherries", but instead this looked more like "cherries through a blender".  There wasn't an identifiable piece of whole fruit in the jar.  Given the suspicious nature of the packaging, I sent it back immediately.

This jar might have been an unusual situation, but someone in quality control should have caught it before it went out.

Question: Blade shape is different but works wonderfully. Knife is serrated

Cannot be beat for the money. Rugged and very light weight construction. Blade shape is different but works wonderfully. Knife is serrated, and was pictured plain edge, so a little disappointed but overall I'm impressed

Purchased a set of these to accompany my four camera amcrest setup. Cords come with everything you need and were a great extension for my two cameras in the back of the house. Ran them under my roof flashing and sealed up around the holes in my house. I have not experienced any video quality issues what so ever. Great set of cords!

Question: Professional Grade Device.

If you are tired of poorly performing WiFi, and want to upgrade to the latest standard, this is the way to go. The unit is built for large installations, but will work just fine stand alone. Installation is fairly easy, thanks to power over Ethernet. I used the +24VDC injector that comes with the unit, not sure if it will work with a -48VDC source or not. Setup is done through a management program that also acts as a monitoring system if you have several units. It can run on your local PC or on a server. The server software will also allow you to set up guest access with passwords and a "walled garden" landing page for authentication, if you have one set up. I believe this feature will require you to run the server software all the time though. Likely overkill for home use, but easy enough to figure out if you follow the instructions. Nice that it includes an OS-X version of the server. One nice touch is that you can identify devices by their MAC address and give them human readable names.

Unit is designed to be mounted on a ceiling. If you decide to spend the money on it, you really should take the time to run a CAT-6 cable up through the ceiling and connect it up properly for best performance. The antenna pattern is hemispheric, pointing "down" when mounted on a ceiling. In my case, I have it mounted high on a wall, which causes a slight decrease in signal strength behind it, but it is still good enough. It doesn't go too far outside of the house, so if you want to cover a larger area you might need to look at some other products. Some of that is due to the nature of 5GHz signals and the number of 2.4GHz APs in my neighborhood. Unit is slightly warm to the touch, not anything to be concerned with though. Throughput is fantastic, the first AP that is able to max out my cable modem's connection at 50Mbps using Comcast's speed test. The blue status light is noticeable, but not objectionable. It's everything you want from your network infrastructure, mostly invisibility.

The printing quality is very good.  No need to warm up.  Cartridge is among the cheapest (Amazon $63, CompUSA $70).
However, if it is not at stand-by mode, it makes terrible noise just like a working vacuum carpet cleaner.

Question: Rachael Ray food wares might be even better than Fiesta

We own a few Rachael Ray and many Fiesta products. Please let me compare these both excellent food wares.  We own many Fiesta dinner plates, pizza plates and bowls of different sizes and we are Fiesta fans. Rachael Ray serving bowls I just purchased feel a little thinner, therefore lighter which is an advantage since Fiesta products are quite heavy but Rachael Ray products feel just as sturdy and strong as Fiesta.  Is this because Rachael Ray are stonewares?  I don't know.  Fiesta has more sizes and color varieties than Rachael Ray. Rachael Ray has more unique products. Both brands sell food wares of excellent qualities  I am certain that you will be hay with Racheal Ray products.

Very pretty, but first I couldn't use it for a while because I went to several jewelry stores and the said that they can't do anything on invicta watches, So I had to order a band watch kit to be able to fit it.

Question: When is love unconditional? What do you do when you and ...

When is love unconditional?

What do you do when you and your love have different agenda for the life that you want to have together.? Well meet Grant and Lucy Smith. A simple issue what a car is what brought this couple together. But this relationship has been way less than a bed of roses.

Grant wants a family and feel that there is no time like the present. With him and his wife Lucy have to establish careers this would be great. Lucy feels differently. Her ladder of success is going higher and higher and she is so wanting to reach the top and feels that a baby will slow her down.  So with so much tension over this idea of starting a family, the marriage started to have issues.

With everything that is going on Grant steps out on his wife with a nutball by the name of Alexia. This chick is half past crazy and all the way fool. Frank tells Grant that what he did was wrong but in a way I cant blame Grant for what he does.  He wants better but better was pushing him to worst.

This book is a lifetime movie waiting to be made. The character development was so smooth. There are times when reading I felt like this should be a biography because these characters seem to real. The storyline was a little iffy in the beginning but started to get stronger and stronger as it went along.  I need part 2 to be written because I need to see where all the cards land.

Mercy Raintree is the guardian of the Raintree Sanctuary and hopes to keep the secret of her daughter from her daughter's father. But war is coming and soon the secret will be out. Mercy's daughter is the child of Judah Ansara, dranir of the Ansara clan and Mercy's blood rival.

As the solstice grows ever closer, tension between the clans heats up and Mercy finds the safety of her clan, and of her daughter, is in imminent danger. Will Judah be successful in wiping out all of the Raintrees or will his passion for Mercy and their daughter become his salvation?

I enjoyed Sanctuary through most of the book, happy to see the action really pick up as Judah's brother Cael becomes more desperate to take over the clan. I also loved Mercy in the beginning, admiring her for her quiet inner strength and her fierce dedication to the protection of her family, her daughter, and their sanctuary. I found myself easily understanding what it was about Judah that Mercy loved. I wasn't especially fond of Eve's personality, as she had a tendency to get on my nerves, though I was highly impressed at the talents she so easily wielded at such a young age.

My enjoyment however, came to a screeching halt in one particular scene. Here, Judah does something to Mercy that is unforgivable to most women. What was worse though, was that I totally and completely lost respect for Mercy in the same scene and from there on, I was unable to empathize with her anymore. While I had a stronger reaction to Dante's treatment of Lorna in Inferno, Judah's behavior wasn't much better in this one scene. This ruined the whole book for me and from there on it was very difficult to finish. Such a shame too because Sanctuary was shaping up to be a fantastic book until then.

As a whole, I was disappointed in the Raintree trilogy, only truly liking Haunted, the middle book. I was happy to see the resolution to the entire story arc and liked the way the ultimate story ended, but as individual stories, I felt the series was sorely lacking.

Question: Quicker than clipping nails.

This works great! My dog hates to be groomed, but the dremel allows me to trim his nails quickly, and before any serious panic attack sets in. Quiet for what it does, though the amount of dust kicked up from grinding his nails is a little annoying. All in all a good product.

The is the sweetest book and a beautiful reminder to people of all ages to just be. I love the beautiful illustrations Patricia's grand daughters shared on the book. How very special and inspirational. I really believe in nourishing the chakras so I love that this is an element featured in the book.

Question: I think Mr. O'Neil's system is spot on. ...

I think Mr. O'Neil's system is spot on. I've made money with his paper and his books.  Read this book as an intro to investing and prosper.

The t.v. has the best picture I've seen out of all the 32 inch t.v.s I came across.(Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, Vizio, etc) It contains all the inputs needed for video game systems and cable t.v. The blacks are black and the colors are spot on. My Xbox 360 looks absolutely amazing on it. You can watch this t.v. in a bright room with the sun pointing at it and still clearly see the picture. With other t.v.s you can see your reflection on it and that distracts from the picture. This t.v. has NO glare at all. It's perfect for a daytime and nighttime setting.

One other thing I like about this t.v. is that is has no ghosting. Ghosting whether playing on the Xbox 360 or watching regular t.v. was a lot more evident on the other t.v.s I listed. Most notable was the Samsung  and the Vizio where the ghosting was horrendous. I feel very happy to have finally found a t.v. without this annoyance.

This t.v. contains all the features that other t.v.s have but it's not expensive like them. At the price it is now, it is truly a steal and a t.v. that you won't regret purchasing. Heck if it was a couple of hundred dollars more I'd still get it!

Update: After having the t.v. for a while I got to admit, SD on this t.v. looks really good. I know an HDTV isn't meant for standard definition, but for people who don't have some kind of high definition setup they won't be disappointed. Out of all the HDTVs I've had, the SD is the best on this one. Also HD on this t.v. seems to make sense. It's not to sharp and not to blurry but just right. The sharpness seems to make sense in terms of the detail you can see compared to other HDTVs. I will continue to update as I test with more sources. (dvd players, cable boxes, game consoles, computers/laptop, etc.)

Question: Glows GREEN! And the details are AMAZING! :)

From my nine-year-old daughter: I LOVE this glow-in-the-dark dragon SOOO much! :) Me and my siblings share it and love it. Our parents bought it for us, and it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! My brother Sam owns the "Ice" version of it, and we love that one too. When we tested the snow one's glow for the first time, we went in our laundry room and turned off the light- and he glowed MAJOR!!! And what was awesome, he doesn't glow white... He glows a sort of greenish color! I think it makes him look more scary. And his details are KILLER!!!!! :) :) :) And, when he glows, it almost looks like they stand out even MORE! We like playing games that they are on the meat-eaters side and try to hunt our safari ltd horses down. It;s SO FUN! [Although we always make the horses win]  We love it! ;) :)

UNLOCKED is the story of Lady Elaine Warren who is a friend of Margaret in UNVEILED, the first book in the Turner series.  Elaine is trained and tormented in the ballrooms of the ton.  Because of her laugh, she is known as Lady Equine.  The man who have her that nickname had returned after ten years.  Evan Carlton, the Earl of Westfeld is immensely sorry for his treatment of Elaine.  He recognizes the hurt he has caused and wants the chance to make amends and be a better person.

I really liked the romance between Elaine and Evan.  The hurt that Evan caused does not go away easily.  There are no quick solutions here.  Elaine does not quickly forget her torment and fall in the hero's arms.  I liked Elaine.  She has a quiet strength.  "You cannot break me" is how she has survived.

This novella is not dependent upon the other books in the series and can be read independently.

Regan Quinn cut his ties after his wife died, and boarded a colony ship bound for the edges of human space with his young son, Conor. Arc of the Universe opens as an attack destroys the colony fleet, killing Conor as he and his father try to escape. Quinn, his last memory that of severing his own oxygen line, didn't expect to wake up, and even less so as the prisoner of an alien race that humanity wasn't aware existed. Captured by the Agantzane, the mysterious race that has enforced their unique sense of balance on a wide swathe of space, Quinn has been injected with a virus that is lethal on contact  and unless he uses it to kill an impressive number of the allied aliens to balance the destroyed colony fleet, hes warned that the aliens will see human lives as worthless.

Mark Whiteways writing provides a thought-provoking series of questions on vengeance, assigning value to the ephemeral, and what constitutes justice, all wrapped in a fast-paced science-fiction story that offers no firm answers and a continually shifting set of perspectives. Quinn, uncertain who he can trust and what he can believe, falls back on the racial staples of deception and manipulation to keep his options open, giving the reader a fascinating contrast with alien social constructs that seem equally reprehensible. Arc of the Universe is woven with mistrust and a series of double-crosses, culminating in a killer plot twist designed to keep the reader salivating for more. Id definitely recommend this to sci-fi fans out there  between alien psychology, life and death escapes, and lethal politics, theres something for everyone.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Question: Great Laptop but screen could be better

Having had this laptop for several months now I can finally review it.
Pros:
Boots faster than my SSD desktop (roughly 8s from off to desktop)
Runs all of my games including beat hazard, FTL, GTAV, Fallout 4 on medium - high settings

Cons:
As others have said the screen is sub par, it is pretty much the only reason this laptop got 4 stars instead of 5. It is not THAT noticeable when playing games but when trying to type or read words in windows explorer/MS word they appear to be fuzzy.
The edges around the screen are sharp, not on the outside edge of them but on the place where you would put your thumb/finger to open the laptop when it is closed.

Other Thoughts:
It is windows 8, when I tried to get the Windows 10 free update it made the computer very slow, not sure if it was a problem with the install or with the computer as I just reverted it back to 8 and it fixed itself. There are also no drivers for it available if you wanted to go to windows 7 (which I wish I could).

Portable. Dewalt Quality. Cuts metal smoothly. Has a vice to hold your work in place and locks down for moving it easily, also has a handle to carry with. Great saw. No key to lose if you need to change your blade. Cant say enough about this saw!!

Question: The best immersion blender

It comes apart and I can wash the immersed end in the dishwasher safely. It is powerful enough to crush ice in smoothies and use to make soup bases smooth. i love mine and use it daily. it never dies. I gave my daughter-in-law an aqua one and she likes it too. I think for a non-professional kitchen, this is perfect!

Traitor's Blade is a fast, fun read from start to finish. There are obvious comparisons to the Three Musketeers, but I will suggest that there is a greater exploration into the character of the main protagonist, Falcio Val Mond. Falcio is a multilayered hero; there are parts of him you admire, and parts that make you concerned that he'll even survive the first book. One of the great contributions De Castell makes in this first book is the descriptions of swordplay. There is no comparable example in literature that I can recall. He blows even Dumas out of the water here, almost giving you a lesson in fighting skills as you read along. Highly recommended and a great start to the summer reading season!

Question: Make sure to order a long if you are tall-runs short

Bought this for a 6'4" teenager. Runs short. Good quality material, nice fit otherwise. But if you are tall, its way too short.

I've read many reviews where people have said their boots didn't fit. On the Danner site - click Support at the bottom of their page and follow the links - there are clear directions as to fit.  The device their boots are based on is the Brannock measurement device. It is used here in Australia, at Athlete's Foot stores and others. So while my foot size may be a woman's 8.5 in Australia, in the USA that translates to a 10.  Yes, other brands have their peculiarities. But, good sense suggests that, if Danner use Brannock for sizing - wide foot, narrow foot, and I want to order a Danner boot, I would be well advised to use their measuring device as to the length of my longer foot and width!  So, forget what size you prefer in other brands and get your feet measured on the Brannock device. It is your best chance of satisfaction with your purchase. The next thing I want to say is this. Forget the pretty lacings in the pictures. Any fair dinkum hiker will tell you that knotting of your laces is personal and cunning to suit your boot, your feet and your circumstances. I use surgeon's knots to stop my feet from slipping - and I am a novice! You need to go to You Tube to find hints on how the real hikers tie their laces.
That said, I am delighted with these boots. I took them out of the box, put them on and sighed a sigh of relief that I did not have to send them back - at my expense! Now, I have to say that I have fallen arches and needed to add my own orthotic.

Question: Abercromie tries to bring back some of the old characters ...

Abercromie tries to bring back some of the old characters in some of the short stories and it was pleasantly nostalgic. When he did several stories revolving around two new females, they were flat and unexciting. I ended up skippiong those stories

Agricola is fun and easy to learn, despite a steep but short initial learning curve. My wife and I tried it for the first time together one evening and got really confused. The next day I played it solo (and sober) and got it all figured out. By the 3rd game together we weren't using the instructions anymore.

The game is a model of agrarian life immediately following the European decimation by the Black Plague. It's not a depressing game by any means (except when I lose against my wife for 5 games in a row), but there isn't any silliness, either.

My wife and I agree that this game feels a bit like chess, owing to the need to plan ahead 2 or 3 moves. There's not a lot of interaction between players, but there is some (I mean, in addition to swearing). It's not a 2-player solitaire as others have suggested.

The game is quite educational, teaching the need to plan moves and counter-moves, manage resources, and build a balanced farm. It can actually hurt your score to build or collect too much of one thing. After the initial deal-out of cards, nothing is left to chance. It all comes down to planning your moves and reacting to your opponent's moves.

Each game lasts 14 turns and takes about an hour, but generally leaves you wishing for more turns so that you can play your newly completed well-balanced farm. But keep in mind that this game is all about the struggle that it takes to build that well-balanced farm.

There is only one path to victory: (in this order) collect wood, expand house & family, diversify. There's no need to explore different strategies because they won't work against a player that chooses to follow the one path to victory. The game is simply a competition for wood, expansion, diversification. There are many tactics within the strategy, but only one strategy.

My recommendation for house rules (2-player):
1. Swap the start player after every round. This evens out the distribution of resources. Using the Start Player square as a move then simply gives you (or guarantees you) the starting play for the next round. In other words, you don't play the Start Player square to get the first move, you play it to keep the first move.
2. Play Day Laborer as it is shown on the family side of the board: 1 food + 1 building resource. (I put a sticky note on the square as a reminder.)
3. Even in a 2-player game we occasionally lay out one of the 3-player action cards for an additional resource action. The 2-wood card is a good one to use, since the competition for wood early in the game is so fierce.

Players have established a bunch of different rules variations, such as playing an additional round at the beginning of the game, or playing the last round twice, or reducing the value of family members. Read up on them and try some.

Question: Great beginning for a new lady PI

The gimmick that makes this PI thriller unique is the family of lawyers she's working for.  Her sister-in-law comes up missing and her brother is a prime suspect.  She's working for and yet working against her dysfunctional family and that makes this a mystery novel that will grab you and keep hold for 400 pages.  This most certainly must spawn a series.  There are little flaws here and there in credibility, but this is definitely one for tough PI fans.

I loved it!  And my 17 year old daughter (who never reads anymore) stayed up almost all night to finish it the first day she started it!
I know its a redo from Daddy Long Legs (I also read that and loved it), but this version is a little deeper and more complex, fresh - I think I liked it better! Love the format of only letters.

Question: These were no better than all the others we've tried

My daughter goes through headphones rapidly.  These were no better than all the others we've tried.  While they lasted, they were excellent.

I purchased W28 L32 Blue (in case it makes a diff due to mfg location).
My waist is 26 but I cannot get anything this small. The product came in a nice bag inside the shipping box. No pkg slip. The waist fits ok, expect to have rooms and the length is as described. Very "skinny" fit so it works for me well. I can get in and out of this pant easily. Fabric is NOT as stretchy as some reviews said, cos I cannot sit comfortably. I like the feel of the fabric. I would like to have more room for my legs even it is easy for me to get in and out. It is too flat in the front (no room) so the private part kind of bulk out and become too obvious. I am returning this product for this reason.

Question: Wonderful Read and Wonderful Message!!

Mark Sanford says it all in this book.  I just took over a new team of Technical Engineers who support our internal company people.  They know all the "Technical Stuff".  This book opens the door to the "soft skills."

The timiliness of delivery and ease of ordering this book was OUTSTANDING... Thank you!!

At first, I was amazed to see only one review here so far of this book. On further reflection, to a great extent I can see why. It's not just a dry, academic tome, but then again it isn't a rabble-rousing polemic. It delves deeply into the policy-making process, from many angles. It's bound to be too deep for many readers with an interest in energy. In fact, I must confess to being one of those, to a great extent, as I have more interest in technical and philosophical matters, and more awareness of them, than I do of the political and legal processes that must be dealt with if you want to create real change.

Anyway, I commend Graetz for doing a lot of very careful and serious work on the subject. If more of those involved approached the subject in the same intelligent, practical way, there would be much less need for a book of this nature in the first place.

Question: Entirely new class of product

The iPad is an unbelievably cool product!  I've had it for a week now, and it has exceeded my expectations in every area but one.
It is such a pleasurable experience to hold it and interact with the machine.  It is a very intuitive, tactile, and personal interaction with the web.
Having a touch screen to interact with the web is a very different experience than using a mouse.
It is NOT supposed to be a netbook, so reviews which compare what it doesn't have, miss the point.
This is a whole new computing device to accomplish perhaps 80% of what most people use computers for.
For all the basic uses (email, websurfing, music, movies (the Netflix app rocks!), games, ebook, magazine reading (Zinio is great), and the news (the USA Today app is a joy to use) it is great.
I have already been finding myself on my laptop much less often than before.

The iWork apps are a pleasure to use.  The one area that seems to be more convoluted than it should be, is printing.  You can't print directly from it.  You have to either email it to yourself, or transfer the file over when you sync with iTunes.  But it looks like the 4.0 version of the operating system is going to provide a lot of fixes which people are looking for.

A few years from now, tablets like this will be everywhere, and those who are on computers are mainly using them for work.
I knew the iPad would be a big hit when my 70 old mother, after seeing mine, decided she was going to get one too!

Question: Good for compact cars.

Better fit for compact cars. Didn't fit my Nissan Maxima. Just a tad too small for Toyota Camry.

I purchased two of these carriers for carrying dishes to family gatherings.  In stores I only found the carriers with the glass carrying dish inside - which I did not need.  So, having this larger size (and 2 of them) works great for me to use with rectangular baking dishes I already have enough of.  This larger size fits most casserole (even larger) dishes.

Question: Nice tray for the price

Arrived quickly from the seller as shown and with no detectable defects. The felt is a little lesser quality than I was hoping, but I fully intend to wear it out anyway. If it pills, it pills...not a deal-breaker at all.

What I like about this tray over some of the others is the felt lining extends up the sides to the rim. It makes for a nice playing surface to keep your dice corralled.

Question: Great product, great price.

This thing worked great for my authentic autographed jersey.  The little hanger in the top is pretty slick.  I still ended up doing some pinning to make the jersey look really nice in the frame, but this is well made, and better than i had anticipated for the price.

I really am pleased with this. If I could change one thing, it would be the size of it. The green 'Ready to Learn' is a perfect size but I feel that the rest of behavioral colors are a bit small. I know that it's because students all do not generally move to the same color at the same time, however, I feel it needs to be a bit bigger for the students to keep in sight....out of sight, out of mind. I have already laminated each card so that they will last a very long time as I do not plan on purchasing another behavior chart for many, many years to come. The colors are vibrant and true to the pictures. I do like the option of putting my personal touch on it by using the blank cards that match the set.

Question: Best universal remote and easy to program

Functionally this remote does everything I need and more.  Set up is very simple depending on the level of sophistication within your system (number of components you are connecting to the remote).  Not all Harmony's are created equal so be sure to read the description carefully.  Other similar models are much harder to program.  The remote does frequently need 'help' because it is using infrared.  Not all components switch on or off when they are supposed to so you have to invoke the help feature which typically resolves the problem.  Infrared requires direct line of sight connection so your commands must be deliberate and pointed at your audio/video devices.

This bra is both a pullover AND triple hook closure.  Once I squeezed my shoulders through, smashing my breasts with the underwire in the process, I nearly dislocated my  shoulders  trying to hook the clasps! I had to be satisfied with two hooks because I never did get the third.  Of course it provided great support on my four-mile run. Removing it when both the bra and my body were sweaty was nearly impossible; both difficult and painful.  For smaller breasts or more flexible women this might be a good choice; I am a reasonably fit 34DD.  Even if you had help to put it on and take it off, you are in for a chore.  Champion has other choices that provide the support without the risk (try double dry spot comfort full support).  This one is going back.

Question: Lucinda delivers an unpolished gem

(4 & 1/2 stars) After 1998's superb Car Wheels CD and its slightly less earth-shaking successor Essence, amazingly, this is Lucinda's third album in 4 years!  It's another winner, with the casual drawl of her singing and "rapping" set against a backdrop of excellent band playing in a diverse collection of songs.  The real eye-opener is the 4th track, "Real Live Bleeding Fingers And Broken Guitar Strings," a crunchy, boozy rocker that reminds me of Neil Young with Crazy Horse. The electric guitars are hot on that number, and I like the chorus harmonies too.  There are also some fractured love songs (LW writes love songs unlike anybody else's), some quieter and more reflective tunes (like the title track), and just a whole lot of other good stuff.  This is "roots rock" at its purest, the kind that gives the category its rep for straight-forward and honest pleasures.

Question: Great to find them when it starts to get dark

I take my two dogs to the dog park every night. Great to find them when it starts to get dark. IIluminates very well. Charge lasts a long time.
Although all the "regular" dogs at the park play with each other and this has shorted out already with only half the lights now working. But if you just walk your dog and they don't interact too much with other dogs this is a great collar. I bought two and my other dog is more mellow and her collar is just fine. Next time I will look for a little more durable collar maybe. All in all it does what it is supposed to do.

Question: One great travel bag!

It's wonderful to find a product that works exactly how it was designed and holds up well doing it! This bag appears relatively small as luggage goes, but just seems to keep expanding as needed.  And thanks to the compression straps, still can collapse into a manageable size. Pull those shoulder straps out while at the airport and it's easy to pack with you on the go!

Update:  The lithium batteries that shipped with my cameras lasted about 5-6 months.  Not bad.  BTW, I just ordered another 5 cameras:)

I have had these cams up and running for about two months now. They work really well.  I was skeptical about using battery operated WebCams, I dreaded the idea of having to run wires through my attic and around my house to power wired cameras.  The battery  levels remain at 100% full, even after two months. They are supposed to last for 1 to 2 years. I would be shocked if they last beyond one year.  They came with lithium AA batteries that are not rechargeable.  It will cost about $20 to replace the batteries for all five cameras, which is acceptable for the convenience factor.

I am glad that they updated the firmware to allow for a longer duration video clips

Question: Best I've found so far.

Recommended.  I have switched to Interactions/Connections textbooks after using the Integrated Chinese course for a semester.  Please see my full review and a comparison of the two courses under the textbook "Interactive Chinese by Yao and Liu".

Interactions I is challenging:  before you tackle it, I absolutely recommend Pimsleur Mandarin I audio full course.  And you will need a tutor or a class for any Chinese textbook.  Classes are a lot of fun, but check the textbooks they are using before you sign up -- Chinese textbooks seem to be about 50 years behind other foreign language offerings.  I have not tested the Interactions audio CDs ($100 from Indiana University Press).

Textbook courses typically assume you will continue your study in a language school in China/Taiwan/Hongkong, so they prepare you for student life.  If you want Chinese just for travel, especially business travel:  go with the Pimsleur full courses: Mandarin I, II, III.  They are the BEST purely audio (speaking, no reading) courses. For just speaking Chinese, there is no textbook course that will take you as far and as fast as Pimsleur: you won't be able to read Chinese street signs, but you will be comfortable asking directions!

Zane doesn't disappoint with her tale of a young woman with multiple personalities....the dominant personality is sensitive, reclusive, and a complete sexual innocent.  The other, however, is just the opposite; her life is one explicit sexual exploit after another.  Jonquinette, the dominant personality, realizes that there is a reason for her "blackouts" and seeks professional help.  Enter, the psychologist from "Addicted," who recognizes that Jon has Multiple Personality Disorder--and even meets Jude, who admits to going on sexual rampages and claims to be Jon's "protector."
Zane fans familiar with her work will love the presence of recurring characters (from "Addicted") and Zane of course delivers a steamingly good tale with enough hot sex scenes to scorch a reader's fingers.....
The ending is a mindblower!  Great job, Zane, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next........

Question: Hinson is among the greatest word smiths alive writing some of the best dark folk today.

His darkest and most candid album worthy of a thousand listens. He is of his own genre and substance. I guarantee that anyone will listen to this album and love at least one track no matter what type of music they think they faithful to. He is going nowhere but up as an artist and I will continue to buy everything he does.

I bought these in a size 4 for my 2.5 year old (who wears 3T) and a size 6 for my 6 year old (who wears a size 6). The size 6 was surprisingly small - in the waist and length of the pants, across the chest and waist of the jacket. The color of the suit is much darker than I expected - more brown than khaki as pictured, and patterned with a tiny bit of orange in it. The suit itself looks very nice, but was not what I expected, but will keep the size 4 and return the size 6 for the next size up.  The size 4 may be small in the jacket for a child who actually wears a size 4 (as it fit my 3T-wearer perfectly, and just the pants were big on him).  Regardless, the combination of the quick shipping and price point on it make it a keeper.

Makes great shots, which was the main reason for buying this phone. I didn't give 5 stars only because of battery. Also, it's the first third party phone which should be upgraded to Android Marshmallow soon (which is known for increasing battery life).

This was such an inspiring and life changing book for this introvert!! I believe one of the biggest challenges in life is truly understanding who you are as a person, then being able to articulate it, and finally be at peace with it. Thats the gift this book has given me. While I still have self-work to do, I now have a greater understanding as to who I am. I understand why I'm so exhausted after a seemingly simple meeting at work and the need to get home to peace and quiet is my recharge. Thank you Susan for writing this book and fighting for our society to see the importance of introverts. I feel this is one of my passions and I would like to join this quiet fight with all of my fellow introverts!!

Question: Cooling and delicious

I love the taste and cooling sensation this product adds to my gluten-free brownies and banana bread.  So do my friends.

I normally purchase Moshi iVisors for my phone, however at the time of me writing this they do not have one for the Note 2.

I installed the screen protector immidiately after removing the factory screen protector from the phone. The bubbles were easy enough to remove but I used a nice squigee I have from screen protector purchase years ago.

I do not like that the screen protector does not go below the home button nor do I feel like it gets close enough to the edge of the screen.

If this is supposed to prevent finger prints I would hate to see what happens with the one that does not prevent finger prints.

I cannot say this is better than $5 protectors I have purchased in the past. I cannot wait until Moshi makes one for my phone. I do not think this protector is worth the price.

Question: One good crack at a great book!

I love to read and love the feeling of sorrow, almost annoyance at myself for reading a book so quickly.  I have read through this book three times (I actually own it on paper, but looked for it on my kindle for a sequel, although unlikely.)  I just wanted to throw a few ideas out.  I loved this book, but being an avid reader, I wish it was longer.  For those of you out there being hesitant to buy it, don't be.  Dog lovers and war buffs alike will want this book on their shelves (Or carousel, or whatever you call it!) , so buy it!

How can people who got it so right in Raiders get it so wrong here? This is a mess. Many of the plot twists make no sense: Mine cars that act like roller coaster cars, on a track designed to take the pulverized, mined rock endlessly down for disposal (the whole mining-car chase scene is going down hill). After leaving the cult leader behind in the cathedral room, Indy rides the runaway mine car endlessly down, down, down, only to emerge upper edge of a vastly deep canyon. A bridge leads to the other side, but the cult leader is already there on the other side. Ludicrous at almost every point. It was far worse than I remember.

Question: Almost perfect (just fix the keyboard layout!)

After burning through 4 DELL Latitudes in a 3-month period, I decided to give Lenovo another chance.  This model got the highest rating on Notebookcheck, my favorite laptop review site.

This model is as close to perfect as anything I've worked with in my tech company. My only beef is the stupid Lenovo keyboard design - the left Ctl  key is stuck between the Windows key and a "Fn" key that's used to activate the function keys on the top row.  I use the left Ctl in all my Windows shortcuts - e.g. Ctl-C for copy - and all my standard keyboards have Ctl as the left-most key.  Fortunately, Lenovo makes it easy to swap the function of the Fn and Ctl keys in the BIOS, so now all I have to do is ignore the labels on the laptop keyboard and press "Fn" when I want "Ctl" (hey, Lenovo, make the physical keys the same size so we can swap them, too!)

Otherwise, it's all good.  The machine runs fast yet quiet with its SSD drive and efficient heat management.  The battery has at least twice the life as the DELL Latitude I had bought in March.

Now, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the T460 series with the Skylake chipset - hopefully, in August 2015.

I got this as a gift for my niece since she LOVES Hamilton.  She said that she really enjoyed this and loved that she could follow along and play the songs while she sang :)

Question: Fantastic twist on The Night Before Christmas!

We ordered this for our little Cookie Monster fan for Christmas and it is even better than I had hoped!  This book takes the Night Before Christmas and changes the story to include many of the Sesame Street characters, especially Cookie Monster, who ate all of Santa's cookies and must make more before Santa comes!
Some of the lines are the same as the traditional story, but some have been changed.  The story and illustrations are fantastic and I can see us reading this for years to come.

Overall, I highly recommend this book for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and parents too!

I needed to light up a dark front door entry so I could see enough to place the key in the lock.  This light works great and was easy to mount.  Would recommend it.

*An outstanding romance by author Terri Osburn, that definetly gives new meaning to the old saying, "absence makes the heart grow fonder"."........After returning home after twelve long years to her hometown of Ardent Springs, Tennessee Lorelei Pratchett, wasn't quite sure if she was happy to be back or not.  For one thing, it didn't help her any that her ex-boyfriend Spencer Boyd, was not only waiting to pick her up at the airport but the boy she once knew was now a drop-dead gorgeous man!  She never would forget that day when she was only eighteen-years old and she told him that she wanted to move to California to pursue an acting career and how she wanted him to leave  with her, but all he did was shock her by adamantly saying no.  Furious with him that day, she left town  vowing never to return except her so-called career never happened along with everything else in her life and here she was again back home.  Will she stay for good this time or is it only temporary?  Spencer couldn't believe that the girl he was once engaged to was now a gorgeous woman and this time if he had anything to say about it, he was never letting her go ever again.  Through the good times to the bad times and a failed marriage, Lorelei was the only woman he ever loved and if he ever expected to win her back, he would have to go slow, and he knew exactly what to do to make that happen.  Knowing that all the locals hated her for leaving all those years ago not one person in town would give her a job, so she devised a plan by baking something she loved to do and with the help of a good friend, she sold her treats under an assumed name and her baking was an instant success.  As Lorelei spent more and more time in Ardent Springs, she found her heart drifting towards Spencer once again and became more confused than ever.  She was leaving someday, wasn't she?  With the help of Lorelei's grandmother, Spencer's plan was beginning to work  but when he heard that Lorelei left for the airport  a second time, his heart fell right to the ground as he ran after her.  Is she leaving him again never looking back just like before?  Will love slip right through his fingers for  a second time in his life?  ..enjoy!......thank you....

Question: Everything I read made it seem like I needed to order a 2xl

I was really worried when I ordered this shirt. Everything I read made it seem like I needed to order a 2xl. I'm 5'7, 36ddd chest,  and weigh 185. I usually wear a large shirt but reviews said to order 2 sizes bigger so I ordered an xl. The shirt was a little too big so I wish I would've ordered a large but im still very happy with my purchase.

Delicious coffee and you can't beat the price! I bring it to my office, drink one cup a day, I share with anyone that wants great creamy hazelnut coffee and this box will still last me almost a year! Would love to subscribe and save but unfortunately I just don't need it that often. Highly recommend

Question: Excellent keyboard for LG Intuition

I am interested in being able to use a keyboard with my LG Intuition phone.  This keyboard easily connects through bluetooth and satisfies my need for a keyboard.  I use it with Google Drive to prepare documents for example and increasingly make my phone a key part of my word processing.  Love it!

I didn't even know about capers in salt until I  saw them on a cooking show. Vastly superior to capers in vinegar. You do have to rinse them but the salt retains and maybe intensifies their true flavor where vinegar changes the flavor.

Question: Great info and easy to understand

I didn't know much about Aromatherapy and Essential oils before I got this book out of curiousity. I was amazed how many essential oils there are and how good they can be to us. This book is packed with great info and easy to understand for the beginner at the same time, can thus be recommended!

A searchable resource. All of the code changes are highlighted for easy identification. One drawback. All of the charts and tables are graphic images not text, and not always easy to read. If the charts were not graphics it would definitely get a higher rating. The charts and tables do not display well on the Windows Store App because they are graphic images. It is some better on the iPad and Android tablets. Some of the text does not render well on the higher resolution screens.

Question: This is a great value for the price

This is a great value for the price. It feels and looks good. I bought to cut a pattern and the grip tape behaved really good, no crumbling whatsoever.

This book is amazing, but even better is practicing the ideas in it and living a better life because of it. And equally enriching is sharing the ideas with others and seeing them get it so quickly and use those ideas to shape their lives for the better. Now not only am I doing better but my network is better, which in turn makes me better. It's an upward spiral--a positive feedback loop of good. This book creates the foundation for a good life, which in turn creates abundance in one's life. Thanks, James!

Question: Classy looking lamps for very reasonable price for those that like Victorian or old world style!

These lamps are beautiful for those who like victorian or old world look.  I put them in my living room and makes the room look a lot classier.  There are 2 different patterns in the lamp shades when you look at it in different angles, it's so cool!!  The base is sturdy and the lamps are well made.

These are all remarkable and cheering.  Classical writings from one of the world's best writers.  I love it.  I enjoyed that there were many choices of stories.  Old fashioned Christmas writings that give you hope and compassion for beyond the season too.

Question: Potentially life changing for moms and daughters

Ive always been a fan of fiction, but in the process of branching out a little, Ive discovered some great non-fiction books that have the potential to be life changing, and Between Us Girls is one of those. First and foremost, its a book for mothers and daughters to share openly and work through together  but it can also be used by any woman who has a young girl in her life. Maybe you have a family member or friend who would benefit from this conversational study, and I can even see it being effective in a girls small group setting. Theres lots of situations where it could have an impact.

Between Us Girls consists of 26 guided conversations/studies that can be used according to preference in whatever timeframe fits your schedule. Upon completion, you just use your own imagination and go on from there  the skys the limit. Topics include concepts such as foundation, words, friendships, prayers, weaknesses, gratitude. Each devotional consists of the following four sections:

The Garden  describes Gods vision for us
The Weeds  how sin messes everything up
The Hill  represents the gospel: the good news of Jesus death and resurrection
The Field  take the truths learned and go to work

I think every Christian mom wants to share her faith in raising her daughter to love the Lord, yet its not always easy for some reason. Between Us Girls provides that framework in an easy-to-understand and enjoyable setting. Some questions are just plain fun, and no preparation or knowledge is necessary. And I think one of the most compelling features is that this study isn't one sided; mom has to be open and honest also. Its a fact that as two people in relationship grow closer to God, they also grow closer to each other, and thats an added blessing of this study.

On a personal note, the greatest compliment I can give is to say that I wish Between Us Girls had been available when my daughter was growing up. She loves the Lord and currently serves Him on the mission field, yet I often feel all that came purely by Gods grace. She would have loved this conversational study as a young girl and it would have greatly enriched our relationship.

I encourage you to use Between Us Girls personally or bless someone in your life with it. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Litfuse Publicity for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is perfect, I use it to carry my 20ft crew rowing boat on the top of my Jeep Wrangler, I couldn't carry it otherwise. I just added a swim nuddle to the bar to keep from scratching my boat. Perfect product and great price

Question: Fast/Easy and very Slim

I received this and it took longer to open the package then to install.  It if very easy, the factory pin came right out.  I then pressed the new pin in, ran the screw through the clip, and then screwed it in...Was very easy.  Really makes the gun much smaller, I am very impressed.

I also still can return the gun into my leather Galco holster.  Just when returning to the holster, i have to depress the clip and it slips right back into place.

Great product

A really smart scientist explains the absurd nature of random mutations inventing optimally functioning life forms. Along the way he exposes the bullying groupthink that stifles the diversity of ideas in the sciences. This parallels the ideological constraints placed on thought in the social sciences.
A must read for the next generation of free thinkers.

Question: TRIO Airport Tower a really winner with my nephew

I purchased the TRIO Airport Tower for my 6 year old nephew because he had had TRIO sets previously and really liked them.  This Airport Tower was a real challenge for him, and he thoroughly enjoyed working on it until he had put it together.  Love this brand--great value and superior durability, as well as easy instructions to follow.

My son got promoted to detective! He loves this pen holder. It is a great piece for his desk. Good weight and nice quality. Perfect gift.

Question: Love the Fisher Brothers!

I really enjoyed Ryan and Sofias story. I love that Jenn wrote about a strong single mom and she gave Ryan the softer side. The book will give you all the feels and keep you entertained. I'm really sad the series is complete, but maybe she'll give us some more Grant?!

These slippers are super comfortable. They feel like a foot massage as you are walking.  I will definitely order a second pair.

It seems as there are still a few bugs, especially with ease of the playback for media stored on the device onto tv through chromecast. Just a couple weeks ago VLC .mkv files were open to be played through chromecast. It would be really nice if you could create a playlist from your files instead of having to play one file at a time.

I had to laugh, when I saw that one reviewer was planning a trip to Morocco, based on this book. Not me! I will say, however, that I thoroughly enjoyed the virtual trip that I took, thanks to Felix's stories. Funny, suspenseful, and very entertaining.

Question: Only purchase if you're a professional

I expected this to be easy, but I paid almost $20 for a "Invisible" screen protector that is everything but invisible. I'm usually good at things like this, but between the spray, the cutting to exact specifications, the squeegee, etc.... this became a task and a half. By the end of it all, the directions never state exactly how hard or light pressure you use to get the "bubbles" out. The outcome was a stretched screen protector with scratch marks from the squeegee. I'm very disappointed in this product, I expected more. The main purpose was to protect my screen to make it look new, now it just looks a mess. Sorry ZAGG, I heard you have great products and read your reviews but when it some to this one you missed the target.

Nice shoe, looks great and wears well once you remove the cushion insert provided.  It's too thick and is uncomfortable.  I use on Ortho version with arch support

Question: Teaching Tool or Temptation?  It Depends . . .

The art is superbly and tastefully done -- charming!  I chose 3 STARS, but could more accurately say the book is either 5 or 1.  Read only and react in horror that innocents are being exposed to such a dark tale? 1 STAR.  Read and use as a lesson in discernment, empathy, and better ways of responding to hurtful behavior?  5 STARS.

I value books for education and entertainment, and this one delivers the potential for both because of, not despite, its dark ending.  The bear is justifiably upset about the loss of his hat; he's very polite to others and even helpful as he goes about looking for it.  Yet in the end, anger gets the best of him, he takes things into his own hands (paws?), seeks revenge against the rabbit, and then slyly lies about it, apparently without remorse.

Yikes!  But what a number of teachable moments this book provides.  Often a lesson learned from our own mistakes or the poor choices of others is the lesson best retained and applied in the long run.  The wrongdoing (plenty of that presented here) allows an adult to ask questions which can get a child thinking about the consequences of stealing, lying, and seeking justice on our own terms and outside the law.  It also creates the opportunity, BEFORE a moment of crisis comes, to plan a strategy for producing the best possible outcome for all -- justice and relationship and life preserved.

Used it as part of by Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany's) costume.  It was pretty nice for the price.

Question: Made me cry and made me think

Such a sad and powerful story. I didn't know much about anorexia before reading this. I sympathised with every character, the story was well written from everyone's perspective and it made it impossible for me to judge or disagree with how the mother acted or the father reacted, how they felt was so real and powerful. I did find it sad to read and almost rushed to finish and move onto happier thoughts - but I couldn't put it down. It will stay with me and I'd encourage anyone with a daughter to read this and inform yourself in case the unthinkable happens.

It solved the intermittent electrical engine harness connection my car had due to a connector damaged by the dealer from the last time they flashed the ECM in my car. Unfortunately it took 9 months for the damage to rear it's ugly head, which left no proof or recourse with the car dealer & me with a car that would break down throwing random codes for random sensors. After 8 months of breakdowns costing $600 to over $800 each time, where each place only replaced parts citing the computer indicated they were bad, I finally took a meter to the car & diagnosed it over a 4 hour period.
After finding the damaged harness connector I got to thinking...why not try this silver grease. Well, after carefully applying it & packing it into each indidual terminal of the connector of the harness, my intermittent connection & random code & breakdown problem went away.
Apparently Chrysler sells a connector repair kit ($400), but with labor & the cost of the special tools it was over a $1,000 job, so this silver grease was a bargain for low voltage, low amperage DC applications.

Question: If You Write You Need This

I normally buy Kindle books, but wanted this in paper back so I could high light it. If you want to write a novel, this book will help. I don't like to be superfluous but I can highly recommend this book.

Work very well.  Wish you could turn them off and have sound from computer but you have to unplug it from the USB for that.  Comfortable ear pieces.  I hate the little things that stick in your ears  Volume switch on cord is handy.  Reasonable length cord.  Like USP attachments on everything.  Nice microphone that can be used left or right.

Question: Vital Professional Development Tool

A vital professional development tool, written in a quick, convenient style designed for busy leaders. I defy you to flip through it and not find 10 pieces of immensely useful advice you can apply immediately.

[...]  Would have given this a 5 star except it only lasted about 2 years.  The mesh screen cup that holds the beans had a leg detached in less than 1 year (but it was still useable).  I concur with the other reviewer in that this machine needs a better construction.  The last time I used it the blade cut through the mesh screen cup & the ball bearings came out.  I hate to say this but maybe a Japanese (or Taiwanese?) made soy extracter would be better constructed than this Korean made one?I am in the market for another soy extractor & I won't be buying this one.

Question: Get this album if you can!

Every song in this collection is great, but the standouts are Thelma Houston's version of "Comfortably Numb" and Ann Wilson's version of "Stairway to Heaven." The orchestrations on this CD were rockin'! You cannot go wrong with this set. One of the all time best cover collections I have ever heard.

James Caskey's book transcends both travel and true haunting categories.  He brings a degree of introspection, honesty and vulnerability to his work that make the book more than the some of its parts.  I picked up "The Haunted History of New Orleans" for the frissons, but found that it was Caskey's narrative voice that haunted me.  More than a ghost book, more than a travel book, this is TRUE literature.

Question: Open Your Eyes, Ladies

Annette Fix's memoir is a wake-up call to women - stop banking on your five year plan that includes that oh-so-perfect man. In an instant, your life can change leaving you to pick up the pieces. In the book, Annette shows the reader that picking up the pieces after a break-up is painful- yet can be done and that it IS possible to move on. Annette's memoir is also inspirational, encouraging women to pursue their dreams...even if it means doing things in the meantime that are not ideal, like topless dancing. By writing The Break-Up Diet Annette has fulfilled her dream. I thoroughly enjoyed Annette's style and wit in The Break-Up Diet - I sped through the book in no time. I was quite surprised that I related to her story even though I am a southern belle, leading a vastly different lifestyle than the Orange County supermom. I am also impressed with the book's companion website. I am already looking forward to her next endeavor but, next time, please cool it with the too-cute chapter titles and recipes, they were over the top!

Long known as a  terrific organist for his work with Jimi Hendrix on the "Electric Ladyland" album, ("Rain away, dream away"/"Still Raining, Still dreaming") Mike Finnegan is also a very soulful vocalist. While he's missed the boat on a mass audience years ago, there is a significant cult of followers of this artist.
It's "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" time on my turntable as well as this one, Finnegan's most recent release -  and to those in the know, Mike is still great.

Question: Would give 1 star if son didn't love being Superman!

My son loves being Superman, which is the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. The neck is WAY too large for a child! He's had the cape for 2 days and the velcro sticks to the satin part of the cape when he takes it off, leaving behind frayed parts of satin. It already looks worn and tattered in 2 days!

Yum. I love keeping these in the house for when I want to have a fairly low cal treat (albeit, they're all sugar).

Question: My son jumped for joy when he got it

Exactly what I needed, thank you. My son jumped for joy when he got it!

Having heard about this book's impending release, I eagerly awaited receiving my copy from Amazon.  I was not disappointed.  Mr.  Mayhew gives the reader a brilliant and stunning view of a world that those of us who travel the world but generally stay away from places like the favelas get to experience.  The essays are thoughtful and thought-provoking, and the photos range from spectacular to touching to poigniant.  For me, this is far more than just another travelogue -- and I have ready plenty of those and have visited much of the world -- to grace the coffee table.  It is an important and original piece of photojournalism that should and no doubt will spark many conversations that need to take place about this part of the world.  I should also note that the printing is exceptional:  the colors are vibrant, the pictures are arranged beautifully, and the essays are juxtaposed with photos in a way that makes the book a wonderful read.  I highly recommend the book.

Question: King does horror, not science fiction

Before I step on anyone's toes, I'll start off by saying that King's writing style is, as usual, impeccable. The story was intriguing enough and fleshed out enough to warrant a novel, though not one of this size. Most of the characters were typical Stephen Kingish characters--in other words, good old King people. But that's where the kudos end.

Besides being 500 pages too long, so many of the characters were just ridiculously contrived, beginning with the town's second selectman and his son and winding all the way around to good old nutty professor-turned-humanitarian. And since we're on the subject of contrived, let's talk about the story. OK, there's a dome over the town that exactly matches the town's border, so it's not actually a dome but a wall, especially since it extends for tens of thousands of feet up. Then, when we finally learn who put it there, it's like King ran out of creative huices and blamed the first thing he could think of. I mean, really? Come on SK, I like a good philosophical discussion, too, and the issues brought up in this tale are worthy of exploring, but christ I know a cop out when I see one.

It's been said that Sk could publish his grocery list. This just proves it. Not worth the muscle strain or the time, not unless you're depserate for some King. Otherwise, go read some Cormac McCarthy or Alden Bell. Hell there's a lot of better stuff worth reading.

They look nice and were great for the first couple days, but they break so quickly. The hinges are weak, and while taking them in/out of a hard case, one of the arms folded funny and it blew open the hinge. I thought I was being careful but it didn't take much force for them to break.

Also this is minor but the lenses slightly distort your vision... It didn't bother me but it's noticable when you first put them on.

Question: It tastes like wet tobacco

I will admit it only tastes like that once it's soggy, but it gets soggy so fast I don't see how anyone can finish a bowl. It's absolutely sickening. And I'm not the only one to think so. My roommate tasted the same flavor that makes you wish the blood in your tongue would be replaced with novocaine. I cannot recall any product I've purchased from a grocery store that disappointed me as deeply as this did.

I have seen how RC airplane modellers use vacuum bagging to glue balsa to foam wing cores, but this book is about more conventional woodworking applications. He is using vacuum bagging to attach veneers to wooden panels and to bend multiple thin sheets of wood to a form. The accompanying DVD demonstrates most of the processes described in the book and adds a little bit more info in some cases. In particular, the DVD goes into more detail on how vacuum pumps work and what might go wrong.

The last item mentioned in the book is how to use simple jigs and vacuum to hold work pieces to the workbench without clamps (like for sanding or using a router).

I found all of this fascinating and as far as I know it has not been written about before. If you have a vacuum pump already, there will be much to experiment with here. If not, you might want to do a little shopping (esp. on eBay) and see what's available. I have a pump I got off eBay for about $60 some time ago, but I have not tried it yet in the applications described in the book... but I will!

Question: Every song is worth listening to!

Great music on this soundtrack CD.  Whether you liked the movie and books or not - the music chosen on this CD is memorable and moody.  It is very different than most other CDs out on the market and worth listening to over and over!  Each song is different yet flows nicely from the previous song. Great CD for background party music or long drive in the car.  The music is slightly alternatvie wtihout being inaccessible. Worth buying!

Question: Great cart for the money

I bought this cart for occasionally walking the golf course in the Phoenix area. I use a power cart when I golf in Michigan, so I was a little concerned about pushing this one, but I have now used it three times and I love it. It's easy to fold up and then set up, it's lightweight and easy to push, even uphill.  I like the scorecard holder and the little compartment below it.  You do have to empty everything out of it or it will fall out when it's folded.  Based on other reviews, I just left the water bottle off. I am very glad I bought this.
