Question: Beautiful and versatile!

I love my new JA Henkel flatware...  The only reason i am not giving it 5 stars is that It is slightly less weighty than I would have liked.  However, it is beautiful, versatile and elegant.  It is appropriate for casual or formal dining and the simplicity of the style allows it to be used with any dinnerware.  I highly recommend JA Henkel products...

All glasses arrived scuffed and one was chipped. I wasn't expecting high quality. I did expect them to arrive unchipped.

Question: Excellent exposition of conservatism - Must reading

This is a knowledgeable and well-researched work by a true scholar.  Mr. Levin understands the history of the USA and the principles that the founding fathers built upon to establish a nation of FREE people.

Should be read by everyone looking at today's political scene and trying to make sense of what is happening.

This is an excellent book on a focused area of Peabody & Stern's architectural practice. The author is deeply knowledgeable about the firm's clients and their complex family connections, the design sources that inspired their work, the development of the regional resort industry, and the architectural practice of the period. It is especially helpful to have a preponderance of period images rather than contemporary photographs that always differ from the architects' original intent.

Grip on these weren't so great.  I thought it would make the Vita more comfortable to hold but it did the opposite.  The grip is somewhat slick and that makes it hard to really get a grip and be comfortable. My hands actually cramped more than when I played the vita without it.  I'd look else where.

This is a great movie. If you love the Comic its based on its well worth the watch. If you haven't read the source material and just love Batman it still well worth it. This is my favorite of the Batman animated flicks to come out in last few years

Question: First impression was excitement but...

Okay so I have a German Shepard (about a year old) that has severe separation anxiety... If I leave her in the house alone, she tears up the couch, knocks my plants over and chews any and every cord she can find. She has destroyed the wall by the door, and I've been saving to replace the door it's self because she'll scratch at it like crazy until someone comes home. So needless to say I needed a crate that was big enough to hold her and sturdy enough to stand up to her.

At first this crate was great, I loved the coated bars and it seemed like it was sturdy and working beautifully, but within a few weeks she was able to bend the door inward and has completely destroyed the bottom part, of course that is no fault of the company. She has not figured out a way out yet but I fear that she's on her way. She has not cut herself or anything like that, like some reviewers experienced but it's just not as sturdy as it could be. I think if you have a smaller dog that doesn't mind a crate this would work fine. It's a good crate and I'm still using it, I just wish it was a little sturdier.

UPDATE: It's now mid October, so it's been 6 months, and I'm still using the crate. My husband bent the front door part back, (it's a little wavy but...) and took a pair of pliers to the hook sections, Abbie, (my German Shepard) has not found a way out and is now used to the crate. It's working great with a few tweaks to the frame itself. I sometimes have to bend the walls back into the hooks that are supposed to hold them together... but in all she hasn't hurt herself, and it keeps her in place until I get home. Updated stars to 4 from 3....

I can normally cook without a thermometer, but when you're growing a human you have to be much more careful! This is the perfect tool to ensure meats are fully cooked (the color isn't sufficient), especially for children and pregnant women. I love that it has a timer and alarm for temperature. It's easy to clean. I don't have to keep opening the oven to check temperature. My only flaw isn't actually with the product itself, but my oven is a fully glass front, so I can't stick the monitor to the front and it just sits on he counter. Not a big deal.

Question: A Sweet, Satisfying Read.

Kandy Shepherd has delivered another sweet, satisfying romance set in the gorgeous Australian town of Dolphin Bay. If you loved her first book for Harlequin Mills and Boon, this second story will satisfy your craving for an update on beloved characters and another dose of delicious romance. If you're new to her writing, you'll read this and want to read more. Emotions intensify as the story unfolds, with directions that intrigue and a sigh-worthy hero.

I am very impressed with this product.  For something so relatively inexpensive the depth and range of the sound coming out of it rivals more expensive systems from Bose and other top end manufacturers.  The speaker system works with just about any iPod, iPod Touch, and iPhone made over the last nine years.  And as most of us now have more than one of these i devices, it supports charging (and playback) of two devices simultaneously.

Altec Lansing also has two apps in the iTunes store that are compatible with the system.  The first is an alarm clock app that will trigger playback through the speaker system at a specified time.  It's a nice looking app, but as with all third party applications if the app isn't running in the foreground the alarm won't go off.  Definitely not for mission critical wake-up calls!

The second app, called "music mix," streams music from both players that are plugged into the speaker system.  A simple interface allows for distributing playback from one device over the other - i.e. it can be set to play music 70% of the time from one iPod, 30% from the other.  It also provides feedback as to the charging status of both.  My only gripe is that if the mix app is not installed, your iPhone or iPod Touch will continually demand that it be installed for proper operation.  Given that that the speaker system works just fine without the app, I don't see why they are so insistent on it being installed.

That gripe aside, this is an impressive low cost speaker system that delivers great sound. A great gift idea!

Question: These are quite handy little sharpeners, I have them ...

These are quite handy little sharpeners, I have them scattered about and in various bags so I am never having to search for a sharpener.

I purchased this carrier in both the Lg and XL (as I was concerned the XL wouldn't fit under the seat on a Canadian Regional Jet - CRJ - but wanted my dog to have as much room as possible on the first leg of the flight.)  (I called the airline to register my pet and ensure the carrier size would fit; however, at the last minute the equipment was changed to a smaller aircraft.)  At the ticket counter, I forked over $125 and the ticket agent inspected the bag to ensure the top was flexible enough to bend to go under the seat.  Once approved, I received a green tag indicating my payment and inspection.  The bag, with blanket and toy and padded bottom (as well as leash and collar!) went through x-ray while I walked through the metal detector door frame with pooch under my arm.  After having my hands tested for residue, security was cleared with no issues for the bag.  Pooch weighs 23# so it was a tad heavy carrying it by the handles but it worked out ok.  The top of the carrier bent so it could ever so slightly be smushed down on top to fit under the seat.  Pooch still had plenty of room but, after takeoff, pooch slept the entire time.  Once on the plane, I left the end canvas section open so pooch could see me through the netting while in flight.  After the flight I inspected the carrier and didn't notice any pulls or tears at the seams; all seems intact.  I was pleased that, once in baggage claim, I could unzip the top so pooch could pop her head out and see the world before I was ready to walk her.  I liked the color red as it was highly visible and there was no mistaking it!

There are many English versions of the Lunyu (Analects) but this is arguably the best. The

 English is lucid but the outsatanding feature is the annotations that explain much that would be obscure to general readers and even sinologists whose expertise is on later periods.

Question: My secret santa loved it. Content wise

My secret santa loved it. Content wise, my co-worker seems to enjoy it.  When it came in though it felt really cheap to me.  The paper is thick with a good sheen, but is the same type and feel that my hometown's free local magazine issues once a month (that is larger and about as thick as this book), and I feel that is why it looked like I grabbed it from the free rack at the local store.  If you're looking for tea recipes thumbs up, if you're giving it to a tea lover...pair it with some nice tea cups and special tea bags to offset the " it was free" feel to it.

As much as I loved Kane, I love his makeshift crew of misfits more.  They all have a secret and can't see the value in themselves and what they can bring to the Blackwing crew.  Kane doesn't want to be an alpha.  So when Air Rider invites one and all to come and tryout you can say it doesn't go well.  This is where we meet not only our main characters but our characters for the whole series.  Now Logan and Winter are a odd pair. They view life very differently.  Now I don't want to give too much away so ill leave you with this.  This tale is the beginning and end, love and hate, bent and broken, right and wrong but most of all its family and last chance. Good reading and happy times.

Question: Love it. Exactly as pictured

Love it. Exactly as pictured. The neutral colors mean it matches almost everything but has a bit of sass.

Great price on a well-fitting case for my new phone. Wish it had a little more matte/non-slip finish. The surface is pretty shiny which makes it a little slippery to hold onto which is why I rated 4 instead of 5 stars. Of course, it's better than the glass backed phone with no case... I like the pattern on the case -- it makes me happy to look at it. And it's a lot easier to keep track of it with the vibrant colors. Fits like a glove, the cutouts are exactly in the right places and the case doesn't interfere with any of the functions of the phone. Would recommend you consider any of technext020's cases for your Galaxy S6!

Question: quality budget helmet

great helmet for the price.. sizing was accurate, in my case..  not sure if the amazon description says it has a drop down sun visor or not,  but it does, and i wasn't expecting it, so it was a pleasant surprise... so, overall a great budget helmet for occasional riding.

when vossabrygg, which translates to "vossa brew," is on, it's an amazing thing. Rypdal has taken the textures of miles' bitches brew and made them his own-- his guitar is absolutely searing, as is palle mikkelborg's trumpet. the opening track, "ghostdancing," is alone worth the price of admission, but several times later during the record the band rypdal has assembled gets quite near the heights they reach so early on. the album is not without faults, however, and most are at the hands of terje's son, marius. his electronic compositions, which act as segues between the longer improvised sections, are hit or miss. when they work, such as on "incognito traveller," they inject a truly seamless yet contemporary vibe into this music which for the most part could have been recoded at any time in the last 30 years. when they misfire, however, as on "hidden chapter," the bass heavy head nodding beats paired with samples of terje's choral and orchestral work come off as a bit cheeseball-- more dance club electronica than the great experimental electronic music being made in europe right now. that said, when marius' role is more of a supporting one on some of the longer tracks, his presence is a positive one.

overall, this is a great new release that sounds fresh (even though this music is three years old) and timeless at the same time. when it's on, it's as good as anything i've heard this year.

Question: Mavi Jeans are always a Purrrfect Fit!!!!

This is like my 6th pair of Mavi jeans. Never disappointed, hugs every curve. Other jeans out there are for stick figures not real women.

For all the unpleasant experiences of being assaulted by the weather and aching muscles and allergic rashes and dangerous traffic -- the main experience I had with this book is feeling cozy.  The author and her husband take themselves on an excursion from one part of France to another part.  She is the planner and the navigator and she chose to make their bicycle excursion match the path taken by Marie Antoinette and her family as they tried to escape their imprisonment.  They left Paris and go almost to the place they would have been safe -- but they didn't quite make it and so they were turned around and taken under guard back to prison.  I was quite fascinated by her choice to follow someone else's earlier path and then fascinated by the historical figures whose path she chose to follow.  I like the many surprises along the journey she told her reader about.  It's a quirky book and I'm glad I read it.

La Gata is the nickname of the main character, who is raised among some shacks next to the city dump. She is an orphan.

As a teen, she meets a boy from a rich and prominent family. They grow to love each other and want to marry, but his parents have quite a few tricks up their sleeves.

Further, he fails to come through for her like a man.

His brother ends up falling for her, too.

Eventually, she will discover her roots and how she ended up being raised by someone at the dump, and he will find out how phony his parents are.

Not her best book.  As a modern day retelling of Pride and Prejudice, it was a bit sad.  I realize that some characters had to be shallow, however, these characters were more on the disgusting side.

Question: just a great little rug,love the colors

Mike Faricy knows how to write great characters, create outrageous, screwball plots, and bring the funny. His Dev Haskell books remind me of Joseph Wambaugh's novels--similar in tone, character, and comedy. Very funny. VERY funny. Comedy is really difficult to pull off in a novel. Few authors can make me laugh out loud when I'm reading, but Faricy has a way of doing it at least once a page. Dev comes from a long line of bumbling detectives, in the tradition of Inspector Clouseau and though he's a perpetual screw-up, he's ulimately a sympathetic, lovable character who figures out a way to get the job done. Or at least half-done.

The best part? Though this is a series, you can read the Dev Haskell books in any order you want. So grab whichever one appeals to you and give this author a chance. Next thing you know, you'll be buying the rest of the series.

Great Book. I received a copy 26 years ago as a gift. Through the years my copy was damaged. The copy I recently purschased was in pristine new like condition.  Thank You!

I feel Self Portrait like Wu Tang Forever hit me.  Decent but doesn't measure up against the past flava.  Dylan's borrowed rhymes is respectable but the production is budget.  The kick-drum bass of "Bringing It All Back Home" and "Highway" is gone in favor of beats that don't grab ya.  Dylan didn't want to grab heads with grimey, in-the-mud beats, instead wanting to lull  into a stupor to set up the klassics that would soon follow.  For all ya heads that are serious about context, this album is a must.  It perfectly sets up the explosion to come.

Question: vibrant colors- but the holes may be too big.

These are nice and heavy\solid feeling. The colors are incredibly vivid and bright.
The only issue is the holes: they are really too big for either salt or pepper. Also the holes are the same size in both- ideally one of them should have fewer or smaller holes than the other.

Was really debating on the ProTAC HL and Strion/HL and decided to get the ProTAC and 12 batteries for +$20 less than the base Strion.  Also, the 600 lumens is probably what put me over the edge on the ProTAC and wow is it bright.  Triple-use button is great, easy to use...although a low-high-strobe would be nice for the programmable feature as someone mentioned earlier; not a deal breaker but probably the only reason it doesn't get 5 full stars, but it is on the higher side of 4 (would rate 4.5-4.8).  Thing is built like a tank, feels like my Benchmade knives...would highly recommend for around-the-house or car duties. Mine has replaced my huge Ryobi flashlight/battery brick combo and I couldn't be happier.

For some reason, I can only find the brown ones online, but having worn Deer Stags for years, they fit as I expected.
Since I basically use them for dress shoes, they last for quite a while.

This face cream is fantastic!! I've been using the Mad Hippie product for over a year and I can honestly say my skin is better for it. The face lotion leaves my face feeling smooth & soft. It is not greasy or heavily scented. I use this in combination with the Mad Hippie cream cleanser and the Vitamin C serum (during the day) and the Vitamin A Serum or Exfoliating Serum (at night). My skin is firmer and smoother with fewer fine lines. All of their products are gentle on my skin. This is the best skincare product I have used and is reasonably priced. I feel confident in the natural, high-quality ingredients that they use and recommend everything in their skincare line. I've also discovered the Mad Hippie website, which has super-fast shipping on their products and offers great bundle deals.

Question: Bought 7 for family vacation and everyone love their bags.

Love it. Bought 7 for family vacation and everyone love their bags. Pretty strong.

Comfortable, never fall off when I run. Sound is okay, but when you're on a run you've usually got the sound all the way up so sound quality really doesn't matter. Great for when you're watching videos. Like I said, they're COMFORTABLE and they always will be. Apple headphones can hurt after a while (I'm talking hours) and other on-ear headphones can hurt as well, but these never cause any kind of discomfort. This, however, may be due to the slight lack in sound quality. Also! If you have smaller ears then these are great. I found out that they're more meant for children, but they fit me perfectly and I never have to worry about them falling off.

Question: great value and excellent condition

Very happy and exited to read it fi ish..came in very good to excellent condition..thanks a lot !!!

The good.  Some gorgeous colors to chose from.  Works up very easily into ruffle scarf, can crochet one in about an hour or two.  They are actually quite nice, and not scratchy.  I myself have no use for them.

The bad.  Outside of scarves and using for a handful of other projects (seriously google Sashay yarn to see what projects are out there), there isn't much to do with this yarn.  I have seen one to fancy up a dog collar, which would be a complete waste of money on my dogs - plus I would imagine dog nails would get caught in the holes.  JoAnn's and Michael's both have these popping up in clearance racks.  The flea market sites on Facebook also have a ton of these for sale.

So if you like ruffle scarves to dress things up great.  You may get a shawl out of it, or add ruffles to a skirt or diaper cover.

Question: This was a great story.

If you love historical novels and stories about medieval times and if you have a soft spot in your heart for Scotland, you will love this book. Most of the framework of the story is historically true of course, but it is told in an exciting manner with characters you can relate to. Originally written for young people, but definitely enjoyable for all ages. Covers the struggles of Scotland against English domination about 600 years ago. The struggle continues today....

Relatively easy to put together but when applying the doors and standing upright, a second person was definitely helpful.  I see the price has changed since I bought it ($90 shipped) but for the price, the quality exceeds expectations.  I have had it for about 2 months and would recommend.  Mine is not bolted to the wall so my only gripe is it moves just a little when opening and closing but it looks good and the soft closing doors are a nice feature.

Question: Well DAMN This One Sucks You In

Imagine if you are born into a race and class that is worth less than dog s***. You work, dig, work, dig, that is your entire life. Now imagine one day you are given the ability to become God like. Huge, powerful, smart, fast. The ultimate weapon. You become this only to snake your way into a society to destroy it within. Would you do?

Would you do it if someone you loved died for it?

Darrow is a character filled with anger and rage. He lost far too much to stop now. He fights his way through this "Game" the "Golds" have made. Golds are the high class of this world, the high race, the best in the universe. Darrow plans on destroying them, and he'll do whatever it takes to do it.

Imagine elements of Hunger Games, Battle Royale, Game of Thrones, and most of all Enders Game and mix it all together. Sounds pretty good right? Well that's because it is. Not only is this entertaining, it's smarter than expected. Instead of just survival you must CREATE the new society in this game and it works well, giving you so many twist and turns that'll make you interested throughout.

I can't get in to too much without spoilers but the major positives are -

+Great Characters
+Well throughout society
+Perfect pacing and length
+Well detailed fight scenes
+Build up was worth it

-Little too heavy descriptions at first
-First half is a little slow

Overall you'll probably love this if you love any of the series I named above. Worth the read. Checking out book 2.

5.  Changed our behavior related to running the fan to increase air quality

The Bad

1.  The app is weak
2.  No Web portal to track stats (like Fitbit)
3.  Content is very limited, static short messages related to different aspects of air quality
4.  No guidance on best practices, use of the device
5.  Alerts do not provide useful information
6.  Zero tech support... thats ZERO

I wanted to review the device to encourage this vendor to invest in software and content.  You have made a great device with a lot of potential but I had a hard time ranking this a solid 3 stars.  It got the 3 rating because I appreciate that its helped me to be more aware of indoor air quality.  We have two asthma sufferers in our home and I think running the fan more often to cycle the air is helping.
IFTTT integration is really useful.  Its permits the device to send sensor data to Google Drive for analysis.  Its just that the data is in raw form and there is nothing from the vendor on how to properly analyze the data.  Which metrics are important, how do you know if the corrective actions are impacting air quality, what levels are common for my town/region etc.
The support problems are less forgivable.  If this were my product I would not have launched it given the state of the apps and lack of content.  You need to have at least one of these more developed  robust app, great content, great support.  Essentially the product is incomplete if two or more of these are missing IMO.
Overall, if you are an early adopter and have an interest or need related to indoor air quality monitoring  I recommend the device.  Im banking on the vendor getting these other pieces in place within the next few months or I would likely stop using the product.  Right now it has novelty value and I love new tech  in a few months I want it to really help improve my life.

The potential is there to make this a 5 star product.

If I have a gripe about this book, it's that the cover picture and blurb would be more at home on a tabloid at the checkstand. There's an earlier version of this book with a somewhat better cover. For that matter, these essays are drawn from two collections published in Sayer's day, Unpopular Opinions and another one I forgot. The best essays reappeared some time back in a collection called Christian Letters to a Post-Christian World (I wonder why that title didn't sell?!), and then again in a series by MacMillian called The Whimsical Christian (catch the play on the name of her detective, Lord Peter Wimsey).
However you have to get them, try to read the best of these essays, "The Dogma is the Drama" and "And Telling You a Story" among them. The first one relates to her experiences while writing The Man Born to Be King, the first radio drama of the life of Jesus for the BBC. Long before Jesus Christ Superstar and the many movies tackling the subject, she was at the front lines of critical crossfire for updating the gospels to everyday Cockney England (the sort of updating that was common in the Middle Ages in Mystery plays). The second essay tells how she fell under the spell of another British writer, Charles W.S.Williams, and was so inspired by his writings on Dante that she taught herself Italian and translated the three volumes of The Divine Comedy (the third volume, Paradise, being completed by her student, Barbara Reynolds). Other essays touch on her trials as a mystery writer and playright, and the zillion other things she did (that no one seems to know about). Fans of her sleuth, Lord Peter, may enjoy tracking down these witty essays by the divine Dorothy L.

Question: Tldr: Sound is great, durability not so, but Sennheiser will fix them for you so overall a great deal

This is an updated review after using four pairs of these headphones over a number of years.

First off, the bad: the durability is so-so. The audio wires have 3 weak points where they connect to the ear cups and to the audio jack, and most likely they will eventually break at one of these points. In fact, for two of the pairs I have (did not try with the other two) right out of the box the sound cuts off if the wire is gently pressed where it connects to the audio jack. So I'd say only get these headphones if you plan on using them while standing still. They are definitely not jogging material and probably not even walking around material.

Now the good: Sennheiser will fix them for free if they break during the TWO YEAR warranty. I've had to send 2 pairs in, one was repaired, the second they replaced with a brand new pair in an unopened box! How nice is that. :) The whole process is done on the Sennheiser website and is fairly painless, they even provide a shipping label. And it's possible to download the proof of purchase off your Amazon account, so it's not necessary to have the original paper receipt lying around.

Why I keep buying them: Because for $23 and at least 2 years of use, these sound amazing! Factoring in the sound, price, durability and occasional inconvenience of having to drop off a pair for repairs these headphones are a great deal.

This book is a very imaginative one. Nan hunt uses rich.language as well as rhythm and onomatopoeia to tell this story.
Children from five year olds up will enjoy the humor of this book, the vibrancy and the superb illustrations.
Nan Hunt has written an.equally enjoyable sequel.

Beautiful books which need to be read aloud to children to make the greatest impact.

Question: Deep St. Paul writings broken down for us

Charming, easy read from the Pope who is the master-digester of theological and exegetical works for the lay person.  I liked on p.. 24 when Bededict said that Paul's conversion was his death and Resurrection.  He continually reaffirms that for St. Paul the Church was the faith family of God, not just some mere sociological association of individuals.  Although being an eminently rational, erudite person, the Pope affirms on p. 107 that "love understands better than reason alone."

This significantly exceeded expectations. For kids toys, models, etc. this stuff is fantastic. It sets up quickly and with a relatively strong bond. Very easy to use!

Question: needs better kickstand

this case is an amazing case almost as good as an otterboxI have dropped my phone out of a three story window and its still alive the case saved it so I would have given it 5 stars but after 2 days of having this case my kickstand broke off it's made of cheap plastic in the back so yes I would recommend this case to everybody but I would recommend to the people making the case to make the kick stand a little stronger

It's not tailored very well, but I purchased it for Victorian dress-up, so the lower half will be covered with a vest and corset. I wear a 14 US, and this was listed as a 5X; I'd call it approximately the same size, kinda between a 12 and 14.

Question: Keeps your pots and pans from getting all scratched up

Whoever thought of this is a genius. My wife had paper towels between our pots for the longest time. These work much better!

I loved this thing when it actually was working. Sadly, after only taking the 3DS out a few times, the metal contacts that let you charge the 3DS bent to the point it no longer charges. Yes, I took it out the way it is shown, but to no avail. Great concept, bad design.

Question: It's cheap furniture and it looks it.

Just not as robust a piece as I had hoped, but I will say this and hopefully it will help someone, because I wasn't sure but YES! You CAN orient this either left or right.  Just put it together with the long side where you want it.  That being said, this bench presents the appearance of being made with frame and panel construction when in fact it is not.  The backs are single pieces of wood and none of the wood here is of particularly good quality and no attention has been paid to knot location when milling this wood.  It is as simple as it can be, and if by chance some limb has grown and left a knot and that knot happens to be at a place where the piece you have has been cut, plan on a semi-circle of wood just falling off your bench.  I had a couple of those.  The finish is clear and cheezy and the overall appearance is ugly.

But if you have a little time and want to go for totally custom head over to your local big box home improvement retailer and pick up a box of Furniture Transformations.  Get the color you want.  The antiquing glaze comes with it.  When you finally obliterate the hobby store look from this thing you'd swear you just got a beautiful breakfast nook from some good old South Carolina company.  As soon as I can get back over to my mom's house I'll get a snap shot of it and post it here.

I had to get a new one mere months after installing one just like it because, without a blow of any kind it cracked at the top; I am assuming a defect near one of the seams.

Space bar is connected on both side which was very annoying to type. It should be split in half. It also has a front guard underneath the keyboard. This cause more pain than helping. I sent it back after a week.

Comfortable shoes and fit well. They are so light weight that you don't feel them on your feet. Good for wearing for long walks and even a little dancing. Will recommend it for anyone who is on their feet all day

Question: Would recommend. Would order again

On time.  As expected.  Would recommend.  Would order again.

Replacement Needed
The first Corsair K30 arrived dead on arrival. The replacement keyboard worked fine.

Pros
Looks nice. Back-lighting is good. The feel of the keys is fairly clean. I can type on it with a lot of confidence, when not experiencing the problems mentioned below...

Cons
After using it a few weeks, the Shift key does not respond consistently. I need to hold down the shift key, sometimes, for half a second before it registers. Some of the alpha characters are also, on occasion, briefly non-responsive.

Although unashamedly written for a teenage audience, this novel will probably fill a deeper need for that audience. There is some food for thought here.

We use this powder almost exclusively as flavoring for popcorn. Unlike every store brand popcorn flavoring we've ever tried, Anthony's has not clumped and become rock hard. The bag says refrigeration is not required, but it is lasting a long time, so we do keep it refridgerated. It is high in sodium as other reviewers have pointed out, but still has about half the sodium/gram as Kernel Season's Butter Seasoning. I will definitely buy it again. The bigest downside is that our dog never knew how much she liked popcorn until we got Anthony's cheese powder.

I think I underlined the entire preface to this book! Heschel has so many insights into scripture, the men who wrote it and how they connected to God's heart. It's incredible! This book is definitely something everyone who is serious about understanding the Old Testament shoudl read.

Well conceived book on a very interesting subject, that frankly i knew nothing about.  The images of these beautiful buildings are crisp and sharp.  The text is highly informative and the book is easy to navigate.  These "Fazenda's" are really quite spectacular and many of the settings are just breathtaking.  Highly recommended, after taking in this book, i feel quite enlightened.

Question: Different than the other books... but none the less thrilling

The first four books seemed to flow smoothly into one another, creating a mini-series within these set of books. The fifth one, however, was different. A whole lot darker and gorier than the first four, it was just as thrilling as the others, maybe my favorite of the five. However, I kind of wish that it hadn't seemed like a filler book. Maybe I'm conjecturing early and the sixth one will tug the fifth one into the flow with the other four and Ms. Rob Thurman will surprise me, but as of right now, I consider this a filler book. (But it was a great one.)

This set of books was a gift for a friend thus I have limited input except to say she was delighted when she opened the box and perused the materials. Condition as stated. Fast service.

Incredibly unique, entertaining, sometimes funny and haunting film. The music definitely adds to the atmosphere and feel of the story, creating it a film that will pop up in the mind from time to time.

Question: You will remember it!

There is a lot of weirdness in this series, but I find myself enjoying it and wondering what will happen next.  I like characters that make me think, "How far will he go?" Harbringer has me asking this.  After the first book, I thought he was creepy.  I gave him another chance later because I have so much respect for the author and her work.  I am glad I did because he is a fascinating person to read and has layers.  (He's an onion like Shrek.)

Lara out did herself again on this one. She is such a great writer I look forward to all her books when they come out. Edge of Dawn was worth the wait. Great story, it's a must read.

Question: Good for church project

Our church did HOPE LIVES as a church-wide project, and we involved the children as well.  This was a HUGE success.  Of course it requiures LOTS of marketing to the congregation, which we did.  JP

Yes, this pan is expensive at $19.99.  It helps that there is super saver shipping, and when I bought this, it also qualified on the 4 for 3 special.  My husband was impressed with the quality of the steel and workmanship in this item.  I'm thinking that in light of the reviews citing difficulty in cleaning that I will try PAM on the surface and will report on that later.  It is suitable for the dishwasher per the packaging.

I began to feel like a failure.........then I read this fantastic book by Andrea Mathews who explains the rest of the story on the law of attraction.  She outlines in simple terms how to discover our truest purpose, our most authentic self, and how we can align the principles of the law of attraction with these goals.

We've followed all of the suggestions to get these to stay on our cat, but they fall off despite being the correct size and even trimming them to size..

DNF at 38%

I was really excited to read Seeker. it really had all the things in the book summary that I look for in a book. I don't DNF a book often. I honestly spent way longer on this book trying to see if I might start to like it than I should have spent. I try not to let myself start a new book until I finish the one Im currently reading. It was just getting to the point where I didn't want to pick up the book again. I was resorting to watching the sports channel at the gym. I normally read when Im on the treadmill.

The first reason I could not get into this book was that I had no idea what was going on in the story. Maybe I should clarify. I knew what was going on, but there were a million secrets and I felt like I was never given enough for me to stay interested. I don't really expect that all the juicy details be given out immediately because thats no fun either. I do expect to be given something to keep my interest.

I also wasn't a fan of the multiple points of view. It seemed as if more and more points of view were being added as the story went on. I kept forgetting from whos perspective the story was being told. If the characters are not distinct enough, I get confused. Then the story started to jump in time while adding new points of view. Thats when I officially said I was done. Maybe my brain isn't as sharp as it used to be, but I just couldn't keep up any more.

I really feel like Seeker really had promise, but it just didn't follow through for me. I was left in the dark too much and the story was told in a way that made it hard for me to follow along. I don't expect to have my hand held throughout a book, but Id like some general directions on where its going. It takes a lot for me to DNF a book so I guess that should really speak volumes about how I feel about it.

Question: Perfect for Neighborhood walks

Got as a gift.  Had previously gotten these "loungees" from Penney's or Sears but since they no longer seem to carry them I thought I was going to be out of luck.  But, my friend found this one and many more choices so it looks like I will be in luck for many future orders.  They are great to walk around the neighborhood in the morning to walk the dog. Out of bed and slip it on.  Perfect and stylish!!

After reading both good and bad reviews, I decided this was still the best option for a Sunday School craft project.  I got 100 rings in the box, I actually used 78 of them, one had a broken hinge, and the remaining 21 rings I have not opened yet or used.  I could open about half with my fingers, and the other half I had to use a set of pliers in each hand to pop them apart before spreading them open (it seems the chrome coating is actually sticking on them).  Once open, they worked great.  For the price (12.5 cents per ring), I expected some flawed pieces.  I was pleasantly surprised that there was only one that is a total loss.  You get what you pay for, and I was happy with my purchase.  I wish they all opened with my fingers and didn't need pliers.

Question: Strong feelings?  Nah.

This book has been sitting on my shelf for months as I wondered when I would have the time to read it.  Last week I pulled it down, hefted it, read the jacket, set it on the table.  An hour later I opened it, and all the magic that is Burke filled my head.

I will admit, this would be a tough read if you weren't familiar with all the backstories and the relationships that have been build in about 20 previous Dave Robichaux/Clete Purcell adventures.  How do they do it?  How do they get up and keep coming back for more, these two septugenarian pincushions.

Creole Belle is a really long book, but it just flies with so much action, so many interesting evil characters.  Which of these characters are really evil and which ones are just part of the complex choices of whodunit?  The plot is secondary to the action, and the plot is really quite silly.  I kept wondering what it was that Dave and Clete were supposed to know that kept the bad guys after them.  Some readers chose to be offended by the intensity of the author's political ravings.  But the book is not about the evils of big business, big oil raping the environment.  That's just part of the stage.  I think the book is more about relationships, the dads and the daughters, the recurring characters, the host of indescribably evil people that Dave and Clete inexplicably keep giving second chances to live, which always ends up biting them in the butt.  Burke's ability to keep inventing such horrible characters is just amazing.  Somehow, well into the 21st century, he has created the worse Nazi war criminal, ever!

(Spoiler) After about 600 pages the book ends when Dave and Clete stop being wishy-washy and decide to kill all the bad guys and set fire to their hideout.  They get shot up pretty bad, lose a lot of blood.  How do they do it?

Perfect traffic light for our "street" dcor.  We mounted it to the side of a wall and looks/operates great. It's only a foot long, but it is exactly needed for our children's environment.

Question: Deadline by Mira Grant (thoughts)

Summary from Goodreads:

"Shaun Mason is a man without a mission. Not even running the news organization he built with his sister has the same urgency as it used to. Playing with dead things just doesn't seem as fun when you've lost as much as he has.

But when a CDC researcher fakes her own death and appears on his doorstep with a ravenous pack of zombies in tow, Shaun has a newfound interest in life. Because she brings news-he may have put down the monster who attacked them, but the conspiracy is far from dead.

Now, Shaun hits the road to find what truth can be found at the end of a shotgun."

My Thoughts:

I couldn't seem to coherently come up with my own summary of this book without giving away spoilers so I decided to use the above summary. I adored this book! Loved it so much that after turning the last page (and reading the little bonus section in the back) I was ready to start it all over again. I'm going to admit that I didn't think that it could live up to the amazingness that was Feed. But I'm happy to say that Deadline was JUST as good as Feed! That's two, blow me out of the water, recommend to everyone, AMAZING books that make up a trilogy. I cannot read Blackout. How could it possibly live up to these two books??? These may be two of my favorite books ever.

One of the things that I loved about Feed was how surprised I was that I fell in love with the book. It was just SO good and the ending...all of it knocked me over in reading ecstasy. When I started Deadline I was excited to be reading it but I was super nervous as well. I was sure that I wasn't going to enjoy it as much...there was just no possible way to love it as much as the previous book. But it instantly sucked me back into Shaun's world and I loved every minute of it! I keep using the word love but there is no other way to describe it. I adored each and every page of this book and was left wanting more. This book instantly skyrocketed to my top 10 reads of 2012...heck, it may be my favorite book that I read this year. I suppose it is too soon to tell but it could be. I haven't really told you anything about this book and I'm not going to. I think that you should go into reading these books with little to no knowledge of the plot so you have no expectations. Just expect awesomeness. And if you ask me for a book recommendation I'm probably going to mention these. Just saying :)

Bottom Line: An amazing read. An amazing 2nd book in this trilogy. One of my favorites easily! What else could you possibly need to know???

Disclosure: I purchased my copy of this book from the now closed Borders bookstore. BEST purchase ever!!!!

LOVE IT! This was the first irregular hem shirt. I had to purchase it using my computer and phone to get it! Anything that requires a size, clothing, and rings, I have to use my phone. Its a major pain but worth it in the end!

Question: Cheap and poorly made bags! Don't waste your money!

These bags are made of cheap fabric, that's thin and flimsy. Do not waste your money on these!

I've been driving my 05 Bonneville for 2 yrs without a cabin air filter. I really don't think they are "necessary" as cars now a days don't even come from the factory with them. I posted on a forum about smelling a "musty" odor when I turn on my air conditioner and one member suggested I check the cabin air filter. Well, I went to check it and there wasn't one there, not even a bracket. So, to calm my OCD, I went on a hunt for a bracket/filter. It didn't take much searching before I found this one on Amazon. Its a perfect fit for the designated spot for it! The shipping was super fast (I ordered at 10 at night and I had it by noon the next day). It took less than 5 min for me to install it. As one reviewer mentioned, it is a snug fit at first, but with a little force it popped right in. Make sure you push it back far enough that the little pin on the left side of the bracket fits in the catch hole to hold it in place. I don't think It would move around much if you didn't, but I believe if you don't push it back far enough, its not sitting in the exact position to work properly. So, with that said, my OCD feels better, hopefully my car won't get as dusty on the inside and it will smell a tad better. I sprayed some "air freshener" on my filter after installation to give my car a super nice smell on the inside! I would definitely recommend this filter to anyone.

Question: What an incredible person with an incredible gift.

I had the great pleasure of working for Danny Meyer briefly in 2002 as a hostess at the acclaimed Tabla, and he is just an exceptional individual.  You can tell that first and foremost he cares about his customers and the well-being of his staff.  I feel completely honored and blessed to have worked for such a visionary and I am glad to see that he has written a book  to let us all in on his great secret of success.

Good account of What's What and Who's Who in the Glensheen Tragedy. It helped me to sort out the details.

I used these in a Pacesetter door, though the end bushings required some filing to meet the corret diameter.  Also, I ended up finding the same product for quite a bit less at homedepot.com.

I have purchased other similar 27w LED lights (square and round) and these ones from ATC LLC are great!  Nice quality and the mounting hardware that's included with them worked properly which I can't say about all the others.  E-mail and servicing from ATC LLC was fast and helpful.

I would recommend this vendor and will purchase from them again.

Question: Smooth silky tone is never lost with virtuosity

This is one on the most beautiful Chopin recordings I have heard. On first playing this CD it took me back 49 years to the time I was embarking on my own pianistic journey and listening to Van Cliburn's famous recording 'My Favourite Chopin'. Words that best describe this album are clarity, tone, emotion, virtuosity and brilliance. Jeffrey Biegel is surely one of the finest Chopinists in the world.
It is the truest Chopin playing I have heard in years.
It is my sincere suggestion that over the next few years Jeffrey embarks upon the journey to record everything Chopin wrote. It will be a modern recording for the ages and is desperately needed.

I bought this for my mom as a gift and she loves it! They have great voices!

Question: Quite possibly the best short story I read

Every generation there arises a writer, or writers, that stir souls of men. They move nations towards greater equality and awaken a social consciousness. If you are searching for such a book, there are many that fit that description ...but this one is not one of them. This is a fantastically witty  and brutally gory story about two complete and utter psychopaths. Really are you still reading this review? Why? Buy this, read this...wonder to yourself "How can any reasonable sane person, or in this case people, write such a unique story?" Does it matter? What matters is that there is not much of it to review, it is fast paced, funny, full of twisted, great ways to do horrible things to the human body. It is vile unmitigated violence at it's best. Everyone should read it, especially people traveling alone at night because you will become so paranoid and afraid that you won't trust any stranger you meet again...forget that you won't trust the people you already know. Any further comments will require caps and exclamation points  and really you should be reading this short story.

OUTSTANDING!  This book changed my life.  If you think you have a drinking problem, or know you do and are teetering on what to do about it - buy this book.  Better yet, download the narrated version - the woman who narrates is wonderful and I have listened to this 3 times.  Highly recommend - I'm 7 months sober and listened to this the first 2 months of my sobriety. It helped me tremendously.

Good story of the development of the electromagnetic theory and lives of the major contributors. Particularly enjoyed the reporting on the life of Faraday who had the intuition/brilliance in experimentation to set the stage for the theoretical. No doubt the story of Maxwell in association with the work of Heaviside and many others was told wonderfully.

Very well made. Smooth with no seams! I can use this for reflexology and also trigger point work.

Question: Great, comfy shirt BUT after sizing up

Great, comfy shirt BUT after sizing up, it is still pretty tight. It is a long style so I wanted it to fit like a somewhat flowy tunic. I would recommend this shirt to a nursing mom looking for a comfy shirt that is still presentable BUT MAKE SURE you order 2 to 3 sizes up! I'm a petite size 4 pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy but a Large is tighter than I'd like.

I found this book as I was leaving Louisiana in 2004. It was the culmination of a 3-day spiritual journey. My travels took me to New Orleans to Vidalia. I was looking for somethin to read on the return flight home and this book drew my attention. I'm so glad I bought it. Since that time, I have recommended it to several friends who had somehow forgotten or never knew, that God truly does speak to us-- if we take the time to listen. These were friends were "mature" by all Earthy standards yet they, like so many others, had not taken the time to develop a reigning ear for God. A couple of associate had not even bothered to develop a relationship with God and didn't realize just how long and how much, He had been doing to get their attention. I was told this book helped them learn how important it is to create an environment where we can hear from God. I highly recommend this book as a "must-read" for who wonder if God speaks to us. For me, this book was confirmation that the trip I took that year was indeed a spiritual journey and a lesson about the joy we experience when we learn to listen to God.

Question: Don't know if a standard plunger would be better or worse

Used once to date, worked well and will be needed again I'm sure.  Don't know if a standard plunger would be better or worse, but this one is compact and felt useful.  Sorry I can't say more.  More experience is needed and the plumbing doesn't need all that much attention, but having this around, at a great price, provides a sense of security.

Seeds were perfectly packaged and were planted as per directions. Our problem was volumes of rain that washed away everything even though bed was raised. I will try again early next spring.

Not really a fan of under the sea stuff at all. It just bores me even though it makes for a very colorful piece of work if you choose to color it that way. I recieved this books pages via email from the author Miranda in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Its not my favorite theme and I like pictures that have more detail and intricancy. But thats all a matter of opinion. I probably wouldnt buy it but I do like the quality of the art. Because thats really what matters. All that other small stuff is going to vary colorist to colorist.
I overall think it's good work. And many people out there would love to color this and it would look so pretty.
Me? I have to be really into something to color it all the way thru and to do my very best from start to finish.
Thanks for sharing your book with me Miranda.
Hope theres more where that came from;)

Wow! If you are still using that crispy wire headset that comes with the ps4. Do yourself a huge favor and get these. All my games have dynamic sound now thanks to this headset. Easy to set up. Comfortable on ear ear cups. Great sound. Light weight. Not 7.1 surround but who cares for the price. Hard to beat!

Question: Review of Sub Sport COLD Thermal Compression Tights

I ordered the large size. I like the designs on the legs. I like the tight compression fit,feels good to wear and helps with exercising and does keep my legs warm in this winter weather. The tights are supposed to fit tight and they stretch so I can pull them high up on my waist. One negative is that the front  is pilling up on the front part of my thighs,at first had a nice smooth feeling and still does on other parts. I have other tights and they have not pilled or balled up like this -dissappointing.

This book contains some information that you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere such as radio-flagship history and assistant coaching rosters.  The short quipps about players, teams, and games brought back memories that I didn't even know I had!  It was a very fun and easy read for me because of the index-type format of the book.  I don't often get to read for long periods of time, but this format allowed me to read two or three entries at a time and not lose a thought.

Question: Classy flats that go with everything

I love these classy, well made flats. It's true; they run small. I'm a true 9. I ordered a size 9.5 and probably should have gotten a 10. They look great with leggings, skirts, skinny jean, and casual dresses. They are will made.

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/E1zCKTMmvAS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71hlHY4BXxS.png" class="video-slate-img-url">  Projectors can be tricky business. What are you wanting to use it for? How long does it need to be on? Portable? Bluetooth? Business? Fun? If you are in the market for projectors, you know that this one is on the low end of the price spectrum. I wanted to have a projector for fun. I would like to be able to show movies or shows upstairs, as we only have one TV downstairs. I also thought it would be so much fun to do outdoor movies this summer! I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a projector. We don't have a theatre room, we won't be using it daily, and this seemed like a reasonable cost.
Out of the box, you get the projector, remote control (you will need 2 AAA batteries), the plug and an AV cable. It is very simple to setup. Plug it in, flip the power switch and press the power button. Give it a few seconds and the projector whirrs to life.
Remove the lens cap and twist the lens to adjust the focus. There is also a screw on the bottom that you can turn to adjust the height in the front of the projector. You could probably also attach it to a tripod if you have one that would fit.

I wasn't expecting much , but I was pleasantly surprised! If you are projecting in a fully lit room you won't be able to see the projection. As stated, the lumens are extremely low. If you use in a semi lit room, you can see the projection, but it isn't the best. Again, this wouldnt be the model to use for business presentations. If you project in a dark room, the projection is awesome! (I am uploading some photos in a bright room, semi-bright, and dark room so you can compare.) For the price, and since I am using it for fun, I am extremely happy with this projector!
You can use an HDMI cable, usb drive (but it won't play from your phone by just plugging the usb in, it has to be a usb drive with movies or photos on it), VGA, AV and audio.
I couldn't figure out how to adjust the volume on the device. It does play sound out of the projector but the fan is loud so the volume is pretty low and boxy sounding. I hooked up a speaker to it, and it played great! The menu on the projector allows you to adjust various settings, (the input you are using: color, sound, etc.)
I will say that the power cord is very short, probably 3 ft at the most, so I had to use an extension cord just to get it set up where I wanted it to be. The size does get pretty large and they say that optimum distance is 8ft. away from the screen. I just used a wall and the picture looked clear enough for me! I am happy with this product!

I received this product at a discount in exchange for testing, inspecting and reviewing it. I received no other compensation for my review and always give my honest and unbiased opinion the product.

Question: Like Tony the Tiger, it's grrrrrrreat!

It's too soon to tell exactly how well this watch will hold up over time (I'll post updates as time passes), but overall this is an excellent watch. I got this Timex in the tan/green combination and it looks very outdoorsy (I feel like more of an explorer than I naturally am with it on!).  The color combination is excellent.  The watch face isn't massive, but it is quite fitting for my wrist (I'd say I'm average wrist-size wise, although on the more slender end of the spectrum for guys' wrists).  I did notice the chronograph hand, as others have pointed out, doesn't exactly line up with "12" and (in my case) is off slightly to the right.  I don't plan on using this feature much, but I can see why it might be annoying.  The fact that particular hand is also orange (although a favorite color of mine) and so large kind of detracts at times from the beautiful earthy green tones of the face, but that's just me being picky.  Timex is a great brand and I have another in my collection.  I also noticed this one exhibits a much softer "ticking" noise than the other Times I own.

Nice fabric feel and well sewn. The proportions are excellent with a good long body, but seems to run a little small. I expect a fair amount of shrinkage with this type of fabric even if preshrunk. Instructions say wash in cold water, but really, who washes heavy duty underwear in cold water? I probably would been happier with 1 size larger. The price at $16 is good but not great unless I am surprised by a lack of shrinkage.
3 months later: Only slight shrinkage when washed warm, and gentle machine dried. Upgraded from 4 to 5 stars. I also like that is relatively long so keeps even my but warm.
I year later: Still fabulous- no additional shrinkage and wears like iron. By far the best thermal I have ever owned.

Question: Another Beautiful Collection

I have been a long time fan of Sweet Honey, and only recently purchased this CD.  I was very happy to hear that this CD is just as wonderful as the others I own.
I also enjoy listening to a recording of a live show, and how Sweet Honey interacts with the audience.  In "Chant" the audience is enlisted to help with a round, and the result is an amazing auditory experience - I only wish I had been there.
I would list my favorite tracks, but that is almost half the CD.  Basically, if you are a fan of Sweet Honey, get this CD, you'll definitely enjoy it and find yourself singing along.

I bought this belt to go with a dress that needed a little jazzing up for a wedding. It was exactly what I was looking for and got several compliments.

Question: Shelf is great, using it for husbands shoes and works great

Shelf is great, using it for husbands shoes and works great, stores plenty. Assembly was a pain and the plastic pieces are poor quality - broke my first one and it does not come with spares so I had to rig something out to work. Otherwise I'm happy with it.

Although more of this book is dedicated to Skyward Sword than I would have liked - it is still a very beautiful (and thick) piece of work that has loads of art, descriptions, concepts and developer input.  It's an easy recommend.

I'm not a romance novel fan, normally, but this book helped me see why some of my friends are hopeless romantics.  This beautiful tale comes with some whimsical moments and a wonderfully visual pallet of characters.  I very much enjoyed this read, although I'm normally a sci-fi fantasy nerd.

Question: I love the material and fit

I love the material and fit. The buttons in the middle of chest too big and bit like a clown costume. It's my dance practice cloth so it's fine.

This is a reprint of a book Bernard originally published in 1951 or 1952 (as I recall).  He originally printed it as a "how to" book for aspiring photographers, showing them the basics of how to accomplish the photo illustrated on the facing page.  The photos are great, as is just about all his work, but what's truly amazing about this is how he managed to pull off these spectacular images - the models of the 1940's and 1950's must have been FAR more disciplined than they are today!

He describes the camera he uses, the lighting techniques (complete with little stick figure diagrams), and the camera and lighting settings for each photo, and I was blown away.  If you know his work, the man was fantastic, and to look at these photos and imagine they were done with cameras that were set clicking at 1/6 of a second, and sometimes 1/4 of a second, and they're still razor-sharp, is nothing short of mind boggling to me.  The models had to have been like statues and the lights he was using were absolutely blinding, so this book was a real eye opener, literally, into how difficult it was to achieve these remarkable photos.  HIGHLY recommend this one, my only gripe is that they don't make a hardback version of this book, I much prefer hardbacks.  BUY IT, you will have no regrets if you appreciate genuine retro cheesecake photography.

Question: I do like the on/off button this one has that the other ...

The oven is smaller than the first unit I owned but more expensive, I do like the on/off button this one has that the other didn't.

Glorifying God will become a classic in the category of My Utmost for His Highest!  It is a fabulous tool for those who want to keep their mind and affections focused on God rather themselves.  So often I go into my devotions thinking about what I want from God rather than what He wants from me.  I'm focused on outcomes but God's greatest desire is the intimate relationship between us that demonstrates His Divine power, love and perfection.  It's so hard for me to get my eyes off of myself!  Despite what the culture would tell us, it's the richest of blessings to fix our eyes on Jesus.  Glorifying God has already found a home right there among my most valued and handy devotional tools.  It cuts to the quick of where I am focused each day.  This book makes deep truths accessible and helps us see the big picture more clearly so that we fall in love with Him all over again and want to enjoy the privilege of participating in what He is doing among us.

Question: A Must Have for Halloween

Fabulous!  Hysterical!  Love it!!!  Send them to my niece and nephew and they were thrilled!!!!!

We got a hand-me-down copy of this book when our daughter was a year old.  She would bring it to us in our bed every morning so she could start her day off with it.  She enjoyed it for several months.  When we had a second daughter I bought a nice, new copy of it and she also enjoyed it and read it over and over.  I think this would make an excellent gift for a new baby or a child's first birthday since that is the age when they really get into it.  Lots of things to feel on the different pages - they love it!

Question: A series fit for a King

Another masterpiece in the Royal Saga. This book touches on all the characters, their journeys and how live eventually conquered all. All the characters, like X, Smith, Belle, Clara, Edward and David will stay with me for a long time. Geneva Lee wrote an amazing series and is a must read! I received a review copy

First off the Item 17x22 Epson paper, was put in a large box with a little crumpled paper for protection, and the box of epson paper slid around inside the shipping box and was literally half opened from impact when I received it!  Also there was a major crease in the box in the middle of the Epson box.

Amazon was very accommodating and refunded my money, so thanks to Amazon! They are great about this kind of problem and quickly respond. I'm certain they will improve and resolve this issue in the future

Okay, so regarding the paper itself is pretty nice.  I'd give it a 5 star rating itself.  I chose it as a fairly close match to Hanemuhle German Etching, though it's not quite as weighty, and offers a little brighter white paper color which is nice.  I've found in comparison the German Etching it prints with a significantly higher contrast based off the manufacture's paper profile-deeper blacks for when printed on my Epson 3800.  I end up having to brighten my image in the darks quite a bit to keep them from blocking up shadows.  I cannot speak for printing on other printers.  The nice thing, unlike German Etching, it doesn't curl on the edges, so I haven't had an issue with a printer jam.

Question: Book is well beyond my understanding

The book not like most other books by Einstein.  The book is based 80%-90% on formulas.  No real substance is given except the math.
So I can understand this book better, I just order a Precalc book, Calc I & 2, Linear Algebra, Euclidian Geometry, as a starter.  I will probably hire a tutor to help me through all of this and PERHAPS, I can get a glimpse of what is being said.

In this second volume of the series (you definitely need to have read the first in order to understand what's going on), Tiger, the Southron sword-dancer, follows his battle-comrade and bedmate, the striking female dancer Del, back to her Northern homeland to stand as her advocate when she faces the council of teachers in an attempt to justify having killed her own in order to take his spirit into her jivatma (blooded blade).  She has one year to do this or be foresworn and declared outlaw, whom any Norherner may kill with impunity.  Of course, the quest isn't easy.  Tiger is still recovering from the aftereffects of his brief enslavement in the tanzeer Aladar's mine, and the weather seems determined to delay them even though Del knows the country well.  Tiger inadvertantly releases some loki (apparently a kind of malevolent earth-spirit) from the magical circle that imprisons them, and a Borderer widow and her two children in need of protection and escort hold the pair up even further.  Then they realize that they're being hunted by what Tiger christens the "hounds of hoolies"--doglike but clearly sorcerous beasts who seem to have a sinister interest in Del's sword Boreal.

What makes this book hold your attention is twofold: the developing relationship between Tiger and Del, who, having become lovers as well as comrades, are gradually settling into the practicalities of pairhood, trying to blend their differing views of what women can (or should) do and how Del can balance personhood with her quest to avenge her murdered family; and the picture we get of the North and its culture.  As you read, you begin to understand more and more of the influences that shaped Del into the woman she is, just as the revelations of "Sword-Dancer," the first book, gives you an understanding of Tiger.  Any fantasist needs to learn how to explain her world while still keeping the pace of her story intact, and Roberson succeeds very well in this.  I wish that she had provided a map of the lands through which Del and Tiger travel, but that may just be me: I always like to be able to locate characters in space as well as time.  In the end Tiger displays both his deep regard and loyalty for Del and the pragmatism of his training as a sword-dancer in a climactic conflict that made me immediately pull out the next book in the series to find out whether he'd really done what it looked like he had.  A solid entry into a fantasy series that has become classic.

Question: Read "The Girl With All the Gifts" first

What a great follow up to one of my favorite books that I read last year! I enjoy M.R. Carey's writing even more in this book and this story does a fantastic job of filling in more of the details of this post apocalyptic world. Excellent story with a fantastic, if not overly convenient, ending.

Pretty good strap for the money. The thin nylon strap bits feel a little slippery but don't seem to move if you fasten them through the sinches properly. I managed to get the useless/annoying little brass ornament off the strap. you just need to grab the front with a pair of vice grips, hold the strap and pull, then crush the exposed flange on the pin and pull that out.

Question: Short bursts of inspiration to take you through a tough time

I read this book while I was doing chemotherapy. I was very tired and a bit overwhelmed by all the information out there about my cancer. I couldn't read for more than half an hour at a time. What was so refreshing about Cancer Busters is that it's organized in easily-digestable chapters of a few pages each. You can pick up the book and get something out of it in a short time.
Although I don't know whether Eddie Fitzgerald is still alive (and I am curious), I know he helped me keep a positive attitude during a very challenging time in my life. I think that is so key to managing the disease. He helped me to see beyond my cancer and to handle with humor and grace what life handed me. Eddie's a priest, but you don't have to be religious to get value from this book. It discusses the mundane and basic idiosyncracies of living with cancer as well as the possibilities for spiritual growth while living with the disease.

This is by far my new favorite knife. I love the color size and sharpness. It is also awesome that its made in Golden Colorado.
