Question: An All-Clad pan at a quarter of the price

My wife wanted an All-Clad pan for Christmas, but is ANY pan worth $200? This pan is made by All-Clad and seems to feature the same construction. So far, it's been great with no complaints from my wife.

She'd still prefer an All-Clad, though. >Sigh<

have been able to easily carry one weeks worth of business travel without having to be the "wash it in the sink" guy. Packing the bag like a clown car helps.

Great bag, super durable.

Question: Behind Closed Doors - Alaska

One star....... because I couldn't give half. Book obviously written for adolescents in a reading class for slow learners. No wonder it is now free.

Finally- something arrived in tact.
Game play is great, and arrived with free Ubisoft multiplayer passport.

Question: Rechargeable and bright, but some annoyances

Conveniently removable from seat-mount for charging.

Cons:
-Buttons are hard to press/hold right to turn off, especially with gloves. Not sure what the right button is for, left button is the only one I use.
-Weatherproof gasket for USB charging port isn't connected well to the bike light. Constantly falls off entirely when I go to charge. Probably thought they had a clever solution to keeping it on but it's not very good.
-Light is on an adustable mount so it can be pointed up, straight or down. Must be loose or not that great of a locking mechanism because it always seems to be pointed down at the end of my ride - though people can probably still see it well enough behind me...

The Single Feather tells the story of Rachel, a woman disabled at an early age who must start her life over again after she escapes a terrible situation. The novel starts with a bang as Rachel, with the help of her mother, manages to sneak past the "carers" (they are referred to as "guards" throughout the novel, and you soon find out why) and escape to a new town and home of her own. It's a nail-biting scene, and the anxiety follows Rachel (and the readers) as she struggles to make friends and feel accepted in the art group she joins. I was appalled at the ignorant, rude comments toward Rachel, just because she uses a wheelchair; it was a real eye opener! But there's also a great tenderness to the story, as you learn about all the characters and what they've had to struggle through - disabilities, mental illness, family strife... In the end, I really cared about the group of friends, and it was quite emotional to say goodbye to them! Well written and a great read!

Question: One cliche missing: the heroine is completely unsympathetic

This book has almost every cliche of a commercial thriller.  Unreliable narrator, check.  Strangers next door that she involves herself with, check.  Too much booze and pills, check.  No one believes her, check.  Plot "twists" that are preposterous, check.

Worse for me was that the narrator, Anna, is such an unpleasant person.  She is totally responsible for a tragic accident and she never accepts blame.  Her poor cat has an injured paw and she cannot rouse herself to think of the suffering of a living creature and take him to a vet.  She is a child psychologist and never notices that a child she knows might have a psychological problem.  She is unkind to her tenant and never apologizes.

The denouement is predictable and unsatisfying.

This is not a full rebuild kit, missing many of the gaskets, diaphragm, and float needle. Avoid at all costs if you are looking for a full carb rebuild kit!!

Question: VERY Obviously Synthetic

The configuration of the wallet is really good.  It is obviously listed as being made of a synthetic material, but, this synthetic is very cheap and obviously plastic.  I have had synthetics before that were difficult to tell that they weren't leather.  That is not the case with this item and the material is so soft that I don't believe that it will wear well and think that it would tear quite easily.  For that reason, I am returning this item.

We were excited to receive these and the size was great. Unfortunately we ordered (2) and there was condensation in the bags as they were packaged individually.  We weren't sure what caused it so we had to discard both of them. The shipping package was not wet or damaged. I tried reaching out to the company but didn't hear back yet. We would have loved to have tried these for our dogs.

I was about to order this item... but after reading the reviews, I reconsidered.  It seems Amazon needs to improve relations with the customers who purchased this item and did not get the advertised product.  I thought Amazon was better than that...

CD stopped working after it was to late to return!

Do NOT buy these boots unless you are desperate!  I will say they do run big and have an extremely wide calve.  The fake suede material looks so cheap and like it came from the dollar store.  For $44.99 you can do way better.  Im very disappointed in the quality of these boots and am not keeping them.

Question: as good as advertised!

Excellent product!
Easy to use- great clean feeling!

This is my 2nd Kindle Voyage and it was purchased for my wife as a gift just to make her Summer reading more enjoyable.  The quality of Voyage is way, way beyond any other Kindle, and I have had many over the years.  The text is crisp, clear, and astonishingly easy to read.  There is no headache or eye-strain that often accompany eReader usage.  It is simply a joy to read and I, and also now my wife, would not trade it for any other product of it's kind.

Update 12/18/15:  I cannot say enough about this e-reader.  Without question it is the easiest to read, highest quality, most beautifully crafted product for reading digital books.  Overall, it is one of my best purchases of electronics.  Ever!  Just FYI, I have owned every Kindle reader since the beginning including the most recent Paperwhite Kindle.  The new Paperwhite is VERY nice and a steal for the money but, if you don't mind paying for best, the Voyage is so much clearer, higher contrast and easiest to use Kindle ever made.  Sheesh, can you tell yet that I am a seriously happy customer? :-)  Wish I could give it TEN **********!!!!

I have sprayed this suede protector on all of my suede shoes and it has worked wonderfully!  My winter boots have weathered great in the rain and snow this year.  I'm really happy with this purchase.

I've had many heaters for large tanks, but this little thing works great in my 5 Gallon Marineland Glass Tank. Keeps the temp and the temp that I set it at. Hasn't fluctuated at all. Easy to install and looks great. I have tall silk plants that I put around the heater to cover it up a little. Great product.

Question: Duh, this thing was perfect for me.

Duh, this thing was perfect.  The quality of the image is not a 10 out of 10, but it's a point and shoot and it goes under water.  I took it on a cruise and have zero complaints.  The battery life was very long.  The camera has a lot of good options.  It's fast at taking the shot.  It was a good camera.  I have a digital SLR, but I didn't want to lose it or dunk it in water by accident, and this camera fit the bill.

I purchased two SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card for it, I think 64GB may have an issue, but I didn't fill up 1/3rd of the card, and I took a lot of pictures.

Great songs, but I wish each cd was in a mini sleeve with the album art and songs. The outside packaging is great!!  The inside packaging is POOR!
All the songs are on the cd`s, but not always in the correct order. Some songs are missing as someone already pointed out.
It should have a nice big booklet which it doesn`t.  There`s just a 4 page one.
I would have bought all of them but I want to look at each mini cd and get the song titles that way.
The outside packaging is deceiving.
Just buy it for the music, and don`t think about what album it`s from.

Question: definitely good value for Kindle reading

So far (about a month) I've been really enjoying nearly every posting in Pharyngula on my Kindle. The content is really wonderful (if you're interested in science and politics and you're a reasonably well read  citizen/atheist, like me). If you're a big fan like me of Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, & so on, you'll love PZ Myers' Pharyngula!

The occasional image comes through, at least the overall gist of it (enough to see, even in greyscale Kindle 1, that's an octopus, that's a woman with a sign saying "Cthulhu hates chordates", etc.).

There aren't too many links etc. that don't belong in a Kindle version, unlike some other blogs. (online blogs are great for having lots of links, but sorry when I'm reading on my Kindle, I want it all collected here and downloaded together!).

Had I not been able to preview these songs beforehand I would likely have passed on this wonderful cd. The title, "Feet Draggin' blues" is hardly inspiring for a cd title and for all I could tell, it could have been produced by some bootleg off-label.

But don't be dismayed! This is some of the best early James I have heard. Furthermore the cd was produced by HEP Records/Metronome series. Anyone familiar with that label is aware of its emphasis on top quality productions. Certainly no less can be stated for this release. The cd insert is a booklet containing complete player personnel listings for each tune as well as track times, recording dates, photos and interesting liner notes and comments from musicians as well.

Musically I picked this up for the best James version ever of "I'm Confessin'", "Easy" (very similar to Goodman's "Jumpin' at the Woodside"), "Fryar Rock" and "September Song". I inherited those from my Dad's Columbia 78 RPS records which had been ruined over the years. Recorded between 1944 and 1947 these are really great tunes with a nice mix of both ballads and driving swingers arranged for the band by none other than Ray Conniff.

The entire program is outstanding with excellent sound quality as well. There are four nice vocals by Ginnie Powell (Boyd Raeburn's future wife to be), Kitty Kallen and old James stallwart, alto saxophonist Willie Smith. The remaining 16 selections are instrumentals.

If you are a fan of the big band era or just like big bands in general this cd offers you some of the best James ever. The current price makes it a bargain.  Released back in 1999 you should get yours soon before it is too late! Now if someone would just release Harry James' outstanding Capitol Records "Today!" album in its entirety I'd be in seventh heaven!

Question: American Psycho with less guts, more brains...

*Cosmopolis* takes place during one hectic and surreal day in the life of Eric Packer, multi-billionaire commodities juggler extraordinaire. He's a kind of an intellectual version of Bret Easton Ellis's now archetypal Patrick Bateman character--young, handsome, incredibly buff, stupendously wealthy, and sociopathically remorseless. A wheeler and dealer in digital fortunes, he sits at computer screens behind stylish dark glasses and manipulates markets in ways that create the illusion of success, which is just as good as the real thing, inasmuch as success is mostly a matter of illusion anyway. And just like Ellis's Patrick Bateman, Packer works his incomprehensible and barely legal magic while uttering gnomic and heartlessly humorous asides, put-downs, pseudo-cultural analysis, and philosophic aphorisms that straddle the borderline between wisdom and retardation. He's contemptuous, egomaniacal, jaded, bored, and homicidal. But in DeLillo's version of this by now relatively popular archetype of the post-Reagan 90s, Eric Packer is also a man who is rediscovering his soul--or, rather, he's coming to grips with the utter absence of it.

*Cosmopolis* is set mainly in Packer's luxury super-limousine which creeps across a traffic-jammed Manhattan on the way to a haircut appointment. Along the way, Packer keeps appointments with various underlings who leap into and out of his limo, encounters anarchist riots, presidential motorcades, and celebrity funerals, engages in various sexual interludes with lovers, has impromptu meals with his wife who he happens to run into at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is informed by his security chief that he is the target of a deranged assassin.

Somehow it works. DeLillo has pulled off a difficult feat of absurdist tragicomedy in *Cosmopolis* and he's done it with all the pyrotechnic wordcraft that one has come to expect from one of our greatest contemporary novelists. As philosophical as it is farcical, *Cosmopolis* manages to disturb both our expectations and our world-view as it takes on issues as diverse and weighty as capitalism, celebrity, violence, wealth ((and the lack thereof)),  memory, love, and immortality--and does it all with verve, style, and drama.

Another great novel by Don DeLillo that seems to grow in significance even after the final page is read.

not your typical prey book but better - maybe becasue i live in Virginia but still good book because Sanford sticks to one story and only enough charaters to keep from getting lost dealing with who is who.

Question: CYNSDI LAUPER "THE BODY ELECTRIC"

THIS CAME AS A SURPRISE - IT IS GREAT BY ITSELF, BUT IT IS A 'DUALDISC' WHICH MEANS THE REVERSE SIDE IS LIKE A DVD!

Never thought it would happen to me but this thing does overheat and die in a spectacular way. At first I thought my son was playing with bubble wrap but then I started hearing electrical arching coming from our computer room. Asked my wife to check on our kid and she yells back that one of my electronic devices is on fire. Ran into the room and find sparks flying out of the USB ports of the Belkin hub. Smoke already filled the room before I could unplug the device. I was lucky the computer it was connected to did not sustain damage. I realized later that the popping sounds were probably caused by capacitors exploding inside the hub. Good luck to anyone who owns this product. Others who are considering should look elsewhere for a USB hub.

Question: Far superior to the Toyota OEM rack mounts!

These rails coupled with a matching roof rack are much stronger and more functional than the Toyota OEM roof rack! Mounting the rack to the rails does take patience. The nuts can be difficult to start on the bolts, but its well worth the effort when all is said and done. Awesome product.

My wife mentioned that she noticed she's seen a difference in her pore size since using this product with a lotion she used consistently beforehand. She mentioned how with this product it seems to work a lot better than it did previously. Her base lotion was the most affected by it as she mixes it in each use prior to applying it.

She mentioned how it's hard to mix in with lotion because of the consistency of the droplets of the catalyst but the eyedropper helped. She said she likes the product a lot but may not be able to justify the price given the results despite the nice moderate effects.

Question: Some of the stories were better than others

Some of the stories were better than others, and perhaps it is because I am reading this series for the first time as an adult, but I thought it would be a bit better read.  That said, the better stories and images are memorable and I look forward to new movie slated for 2018.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but as I myself looked around a lot for a topper, thought I would share my experience. I first bought this for my 83 yr old mom, who complained her back hurt on her traditional mattress - she complained she felt somewhat "trapped "in the bed when trying to turn or get out with this topper,  but also no longer had horrible back pain so did not want to give the topper up. I figured her complaint was due to her age and having had 2 strokes - she is not as strong or agile from that.  We then bought for ourselves a 14 inch memory foam mattress- well it was a bit firmer than I was expecting, so I bought the very  same topper for myself. Yup, "trapped" in the bed is kinda how I felt for the first few nights- it is very plush and once you sink in, when you turn you have the wallow of your previous shape (briefly) until the memory foam re-adjusts to your new position. This is at first very disconcerting. I mean you SINK in at your heaviest points ( yeah mental note, need to go to the gym) so when you turn over you are well aware of that. But it does in a just a few seconds re-adjust to your new position. We debated returning it do to this- and to the fact I now need a step stool to get into our now ridiculously high bed ( 14 inches mattress plus 4 inches foam plus our platform bed is high to begin with) BUT- I no longer have back pain- we  have another almost identical  memory foam mattress with 3 inch memory foam topper of another manufacture which we put in our newly redone spare bedroom after it being in our main bedroom-  that still left me often tossing and turning with low back pain. Our new memory foam mattress was still leaving me with back pain- now with this topper I feel supported in my lower back like the old mattress with topper never quite did. I no longer awake with low back pain or toss and turn trying to get to sleep.  So even though I still think it feels kinda weird, the fact I go to sleep faster and wake up without back pain means I guess I am getting a bed footstool and keeping this topper. I hope this helps others- you need to understand you will have the marshmallow sinking effect- but give it a chance and see how well you sleep after a week before you pass judgment. But if you already know you HATE that feeling, don't get it.- You will sink in this topper (albeit proportionally)

Question: Lofty, soft and warm.

Love these micro fleece sheets. Lofty, soft and so comfy warm. This is our fourth set. Excellent quality materials & launders really well. Good value!

wonderful short, steamy menage story.  Love the fact that Macy is curvy and attracts the attention of two hunky guys, one of whom she works with, but never had the chance before to truly get to know, as he was always in a relationship.  Ray (the guy from work) along with his best friend Damien, spot her at a bar while she's waiting for her "blind date", who seems to have stood her up.  They invite her to join them for supper, then stay for dancing.  As things progress, they get hot and bothered.
Now that I've teased you, you will have to read to find out how it ends.  It certainly didn't disappoint me, and I'm sure you won't be also.  Worth the read.  This is the first I've read from Marie Carnay, and I hope it's not the last.

Question: A True and Honest Portral of Birthmothers

I ordered this book before it was in print and I am glad I did. Since I am a birthmother, I was reassured that there were other women who went through what I went through, 40 years ago.  It brought alot of tears that were held for 40 years, knowing others had the same pain that I had. The book can bring back forgotten memories and tears to birthmothers. Every birthmother from those decades should read this book and understand we were not alone and that the present birthmothers should not go through that pain.  I recomend this book to anyone interested in the rights of women.

These can openers are by far the best that I have ever owned. I bought a two pack and threw away all of my old ones. It is nice to be able to open cans with out the frustration of having to go back over spots where it didn't cut previously. Great product.

Question: The adventure continues with the beautiful picturesque descriptive nature of the authors writing

Flight for life is the third book of the Talon series. In the previous book, we learn that Matica suffers from an illness that prevents her from growing. Her physical form is about the size of a two-year-old, but mentally she is 9. Her parents move from Australia to Peru where this little girl has to face discrimination and abuse from the Peruvian Indians. They see her as evil and refuse to have her near the other children.

Things have changed after the birds become Maticas wings. People in the village are more receptive towards her, and even her parents are becoming acceptable towards the situation. The adventure continues with the beautiful picturesque descriptive nature of the authors writing, producing this wonderful book of self-discovery and love for animals. This fantasy world has nothing short of being an incredible tale of a little girl and her journey with these birds.

In the third book, Matica has to decide to travel with her father for supplies. The trip to Cajamarca means that she has to say goodbye to her birds, temporarily. Aikon, Maticas brother, also shines in the third book. He also loves animals and has a chicken friend named Elsa. Matica and her father encounter many exciting incidents while they pass through and back from the forest, creating this epic tale of adventure. Matica is once again, fantastic with her personality continuously growing and maturing.

The literature is very well written. The content has a nice pace and flow to it. There are no sudden jumps or annoying twists of tales making you wonder where that originated from. The author remains to produce quality stories that are inspirational and beautiful to read.

I recommend this book to young adult readers, bird lovers and fantasy fans.

Grant left believers with a wonderful refresher course and tool for evangelism. Non-believers and seekers will find this work a great thought provoking resource.

Question: Not Just for STP or Guns N Roses Fans

I have put off writing this review for several weeks even though I bought Contraband the first day it came out. I bought it expecting to hear "Paradise City" and "Interstate Love Song" clones and that was fine with me because there have been NO great or even good albums put out by bands that formed after Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots changed the face of rock. Even though I love the three previously mentioned bands, they destroyed most of the good bands that existed before them. That left a vaccuum that was filled by talentless acts like Creed and Nickleback. (Bands like Aerosmith and the Red Hot Chili Peppers put out good if not great albums, but were popular before the Revolution.) Anyway I put the CD in my Walkman and listened from start to finish. At first I was almost completely disappointed (I had heard "Slither" before on the radio and it sounded great), the album had a completely different sound than what I expected. Yet over the next week I listened to it five-ten more times I released that I was disappointed not because it was bad, but it had never occured to me that two different elements mixed together could produce a new element. Slash's playing was obvious, yet while in Guns N Roses most of their famous songs were made great by Slash's amazing solos, in Velvet Revolver Slash was just a piece of the puzzle. I found that the most memorable parts of the songs were Weiland's vocals. He sounds different than he did in STP and any critics comparing him to Eddie of Pearl Jam are just bitter. While he does not have the range of Axl, his smooth vocals are a nice change. One thing that is missed is Axl's songwriting, for while he was and is an egotistical maniac who singlehandedly killed THE greatest band in the world at the time, no one can deny that he was an amazing songwriter. While it is unfortunate that Izzy Stradlin is not in the group, Dave Kushner is a decent and effective replacement.
The album starts out with "Sucker Train Blues" and with a name like that the listener knows that Velvet Revolver is ready to kick ass. It has great vocals and Slash has a solo that is reminiscent of the one he did in "You Could Be Mine" with those amazing 16th notes. "Do It for the Kids" has a dark sense of humor and this is where Weiland shows that he belongs in the band with his amazing singing (it stayed in my head for days [in a good way]). "Big Machine" has a universal message about the rock industry, but the music isn't that likeable. Cuts 4-8 are decent to good tracks, but nothing special. "Set Me Free" is a great song that introduced the world to Velvet Revolver. Too bad it was first heard in the terrible movie, "The Hulk." "You Got No Right" is a ballad that is actually heartfelt, an incredible song with great performances by the entire band. Slash has a great solo and the song is arguably the best on the disc, this actually surpasses the unforgetable "Don't Cry" off Use Your Illusion I. Most everyone has heard "Slither" which features a great guitar solo by Slash using the wah-wah pedal for all its worth (think "Civil War"). "Dirty Little Thing" is pretty good, but the album has a disappointing ending with "Loving the Alien" which sounds like an attempt at another "Sweet Child O' Mine" which failed miserably. The only reason that I bought this at first was because it had Slash, Duff, Matt, and Scott; all from bands that were great, but in the end had this been done by people no one had ever heard of, it still would be good, just it would not have received so much publicity. I would recommend this to anyone, even if they aren't GNR or STP fans. I had to listen to it about five-ten times all the way through to appreciate it because I was not expecting such a different sound so don't listen to it once and get rid of it because you don't like it. Give it a chance first.
P.S. If you want to put the music on your iPod, hold down the shift key when you first put the CD in the disc drive.

This bike cover is great. Love the size, the sun coverage it provides and the tie-downs. My bike is on the patio so it's subjected to sun, wind and rain.

Question: A Frenzied Carnal Feast That Grows Hotter & Hotter With Each Page Turn

3.5/4 Stars - Ultra Steamy

With lightning speed, A Million Dirty Secrets gets down and fantastically dirty.  Mere moments after being purchased by the remarkably gorgeous and imposing Noah Crawford, Delaine is put to work on her first lesson in pleasure.

Delaine's following days and nights are brimming with a sensual overload of luscious erotic experiences and deep fantasies fulfilled with unbridled fervor by the masterful and insatiable Noah. The lovers soon discover sexually liberated Delaine is a devilishly ravenous and wanton woman.  Much to his delight, Noah's unparalleled talents are met stroke for eager stroke by his challenging and blindingly beautiful bought goddess. With each encounter this couple's carnal appetite for one another compounds and combusts.  Their fights are intense, their make-up sex even more so. And, despite their turbulent relationship, a deeper affection and connection develops.

At first, I found the books's premise and Noah and Delaine's arrangement improbable and seedy.  But, swiftly the couple grew on me. It's hard not to fall in lust with Noah. He's a true stallion. It is tougher however to fall in love with Delaine. Her character is incessantly musing adolescent observations and cringe-worthy descriptions. There are far too many "Wonder Peen" references and excessive bodily fluids revelations.  She thankfully softens, as does Noah, when feelings beyond desire emerge. Halfway through the story I didn't mind her so much and even began to like her.  It probably helped that her strong personality amused Noah. By the end of the book I was highly invested and interested in their having a future together.

If you are looking for a seriously spicy book to read, this is it.  A Million Dirty Secrets gets hotter and hotter with each page turn. Their frenzied carnal feast is highly satisfying. I'm excited to continue Delaine and Noah's stormy love story with the second book in the series: A Million Guilty Pleasures.

Was this book really written by JR Ward because I don't get it? This book is boring. I love the BDB and I've reread them so many times I need new copies but this book is nothing like the others. The core romance is more of an after thought then the main event. The slow build up to the great romance isn't there. This book is dragged down by layers and layers of insignificant minutia. I couldn't wait for this book to arrive and I am so disappointed. Why is it that as soon a an author finds a formula that works and fans enjoy they decide to change it. Where is the real JR Ward that we all know and love because I want her back, now!

Question: Guess I just thought it would not be so flimsy ...

Guess I just thought it would not be so flimsy and lightweight. My fault it is advertised as slim. Thought maybe the aluminum panel would give it some added support. Not worth it to send back or back it would go,

I bought 2 of these for my aquarium.  Very nice, just like the picture. Cost was cheap but product isn't.

Question: I rate this hat a "C" overall--not the quality or fit I was looking for-dissappointed!

I was a little disappointed-hat was a little too tight at XL?  And, it looks whiter in the picture, but it's really natural.  The band was cheaper looking than the picture shows?  I would rate the overall as just average on an expensive purchase ($88.00)?

Right now I love the shoes!!  I wear a perfect 8 in womens (all types of shoes are 8) and ordered size 40.  They fit perfect and as expected!  However, I have not used them because I need to get peddles and cleats.  I will update my review once I use them

Question: Who can resist a sexy, protective man....

Who doesnt speak? If Cameron (aka K.O.) being an MMA fighter didn't peak my interest than the idea that he had chosen not to speak had me jumping right in. And not speaking certainly didn't stop Cam from achieving great success in the ring or prevent him from picking up any woman he wanted. He soon found out that Jasmine wasn't a ring bunny and he was going to work harder than ever just to get his foot in the door. Even if she could read him without one word passing his lips

He may be a killer but hes an incredible kisser.

A touch stalker (of course only in a good way) and one hundred percent male, Cams moves outside of the ring had Jasmine intrigued. Me too! Why he wasn't talking was the unspoken mystery that threaded all the way to the end of this feisty and sassy romance. There was instant sexual chemistry that set a hot and sexy tone for their relationship that burned hotly from start to finish.

It could just be the hair-pulling, a**-smacking, getting the s*** f***** out of me thing.

Im not usually a big fan of instant anything but the fireworks between these two felt just right as they communicated in ways that needed few words.  There was the hint of mystery and definitely some interesting shenanigans between them and some unexpected adversaries that rounded out the story in just the right way. While the solved mystery felt a bit lacking it didn't stop me from enjoying their sexy and sassy courtship that had just the right amount of spice.

I like this little jewel so much I bought another when I lost my first one.  Great looking and a great conversation piece to explain the difference between pattern welded and Damascus.  It's blade is true, 37 layer pattern welded steel.  Most would scoff at a Chinese made knife, but this one captures the best of American traditional design.  The wood-to-metal fit is decent, but deteriorates over time as the wood shrinks.  If you carry it every day, you'll probably lose it before you notice such trivia.  The blade center layer must be the soft stuff, because it sharpens easily.  It doesn't hold an edge as long as harder steels, but it is O.K.  Can't beat it for the price.

Question: FORGET IT AND BUY A QUALITY WATCH.

First of all, the manual they send with the phone is written in type so small it is unreadable without a magnifying glass.  Beyond that it is a terrible translation, so forget any help from a manual.  Since you're on your own, you better be smart about how these things work.  The touchscreen is too sensitive, and mis-sets are UNAVOIDABLE.  I have not been able to set the time correctly, which is exactly 30 minutes ahead of my time zone (MST).  As I have found with so many Chinese products, they look attractive, but as a practical-use device, they are worthless.  This one goes back.

Question: So great I bought a second pair in black

Love these sandals.  I was able to wear them for several hours right off the bat.  The memory foam makes them super comfortable.

The product works as advertised and looks good at the same time (transparent edges allows one to see the metal edges of the iPhone).

Problem is with the power button.  I've found that the button has a tendency to come un-glued and then the entire button falls out of the frame.  You can still push your finger through the hole to turn the phone on/off but only if you have finger nails.  If you leave your phone on all the time, this may not be a problem.  If you use the button to turn the screen off or ignore phone calls, it will be a problem.

My solution?  I ordered five of them.  At this price, I just throw them away and use the next one.

Question: Worked great! Both my sons use this

Worked great! Both my sons use this. Compatible with xbox one and xbox live. Great set for the money!!!

This is a historically accurate pattern and as such, it's very different than a modern sewing pattern for a shirt. Most of the pieces are geometrically shaped with very few curved lines. One of the most interesting features is the gusset under the arms. It definitely makes the shirt fit differently than a modern shirt and is perfect for wear with a waistcoat or frock coat that has high armholes.

I found that I had to adjust the pattern pretty radically in this area as it was simply too tight under the arms for the person I was fitting however, I managed it and didn't have re-cut any pieces. For this reason, I would suggest basting the arm seams first and then fitting before sewing the final seams. It makes it much easier to make any changes necessary.

Note that the center V opening is extremely deep. That was perfect for the costume I was making but might be lower than you'd like for other costumes. I would advise checking first before slashing the V as indicated on the pattern.

I used a mid weight linen and the result is excellent. A light weight linen would also hang well.

For Jack Sparrow, I had to thin down the wrist band and create a cuff (non-ruffled). I also made small pleats around the neck and at the shoulder and the cuffs rather than the illustrated gathers. Pleats look much more period correct IMO and avoid the "puffy shirt" look. I sewed the shirt by machine but I hand stitched a running stitch along all the edges of the collar, cuffs, hem, and V-neck and it made all the difference. If you have time, try this because it looks amazing and very period.

For Ren Fairs or pirate garb, this pattern will elevate your costume to a professional looking level.

Question: A Plague of Zombies (a Lord John Gray novella)

Haven't had a chance to get started on this novella, but I love Diana Gabaldon's writing and am sure it won't disappoint. Have read other Lord John Gray Novell's though, and enjoy getting more into the characters in the series. I will come back after completion and give a rating. Sept 10th is just about here for TVs "Voyager"

I got this bike in to help my four year old learn how to ride and now he can ride his pedal bike without the training wheels. The concept worked, it took him like three weeks on the balance bike to master the balancing.

I am very happy with this product. It is very competitively priced and the quality is awesome. It comes with pneumatic tires and a hand break...I love and I will be passing it on soon to his cousin, because he doesn't need it anymore.

Question: Good price, good sound, comfortable.

Good price, good sound, comfortable.

It's hard to do the one ear thing with these.

I have built up a Bushmaster 5.56 and this is the targeting system I chose after a few months of research. This sytem actually cost more than the 5.56 I have it mounted to! I have no regrets. The eye relief is well matched between the top RDS and the 4x32 ACOG. Weapon repositioning is minimized when going from each optic system and the clarity and brighness of these optics are the best I have seen so far. The illuminated cross hair is not blown out in low light and seems to be perfectly balanced in various lighting situations. A primary requirment I had for a targeting system was to have good close quarters self defense capability but be able to transistion quickly into a longer range system pushing the 5.56 round out to more distant light cover targets. When we end up in a zombie apocalypse this will be the first weapon that goes into the Jeep with my bug-out bag.

Question: Extremely disappointed...

Purchased this case in Feb. 2012.  With normal usage, at least 1/2 of the front cover has peeled away and the back has started to also.  Not only this, but the snap flap is attached only by a thread now.  Very poorly made.  What is worse, is no one will stand behind the product.  Manufacturer (Acase) says to deal with the seller (Digital Media Outlet) and vice versa, and this is supposedly a "quality" leather product - think again.  Very poor customer service on both ends.  Will not buy anything from either in the future.

The story is very good and the interaction between Harry and Mickey makes it better. Buying the book on Kindle however, is a rip off.  The Crossing is only about half of the book. The other half  is a previous Connelly book, written in 2008 about Haller and Bosch.  I had already read it and you probably have, too.

Question: Super easy to install and securely holds my tv

Super easy to install and securely holds my tv. Easy to swivel tv position. The only drawback is the bracket blocks inputs on the back of my tv but from what I've been told, these inputs are practically obsolete so I'll never need to use them.

*update* I asked to exchange the product which we did. It was super easy to exchange BUT the new puzzle once again came with only 499 pieces. However, this missing piece was a different one from the first. I'm done trying.

I love this puzzle. It was challenging yet we were able to put it together. However... it was only 499 pieces. Trust me. I know the usual "Look everywhere" speech. I can promise you we did. From the moment it was out of the box until it was "finished" everything was in one place. And it only took me about 2 hours to complete. Any info on what I could do? I don't want to take it apart.

Question: Keep looking for a better one.

Handle to the lid broke within couple of months, still use the pot but now I have to share the lid from another pot which defeated the purpose of having another pot this size. Keep shopping is my advice.

Description of this item did not mention anything about a weight limit of a person who would be using this hoop.  After receiving it, found that this hoop was compatible with a person under 140 lbs and best if used by a person weighing 60 to 100 pounds.  Will work for some moves, but will have to purchase a different hoop that fits my size and weight.

Question: You Don't Want To Put This Down Until You've Finished It

Beautifully researched, the author takes you through the door of a fabulous tale that rocked Cincinnati in the late 1930s and continues to fascinate. Anna Marie Hahn is an incredibly complex woman: on one hand a seeming devoted mother, on the other hand a thief, liar, and serial killer. Franklin's skill as a writer keeps you absorbed. The reader has a front row seat in the trial of the century. Even 20 years after her execution, the judge who ordered it couldn't forget her. Arsenic and Old Lace has nothing on this tale!

These are short biographical articles on pioneers of electronics, reprinted from Electronics Digest magazine. Most are about the usual famous people (Bell, Tesla, Edison), but has a few I never heard of, such as Karl Guthe Jansky, Almon Brown Stronger, and Theodore N. Vail. It  suffers from being printed on very cheap paper and has yellowed badly. It is profusely illustrated, both photographs and drawings, and the writing is simple and designed for the average reader There are no reference notes or sources, which will annoy any history teacher. The title page states it is Volume One, but I have idea if there was ever a Volume Two. A good read for anyone with a casual interest in pioneers of electronics devices, except the most recent subjec,t Vladimir Zworykin, is shown as still alive. In that respect it is badly dated and I suspect there is a much newer book on the subject out.

Question: Great but be sure to order a size up.

Nice jacket.  Order a size up because they are a tight fit.

Pros:
Function-wise, this product is totally solid. The wood is real wood. The instrument is well secured to the wall.

Cons:
Form-wise, it's wacky. The angle of the holder is all wrong. Imagine the body of the instrument sticking way out from the wall while the neck is leaning in. Rather than hanging plumb, it's at a really ugly angle. And that defeats the purpose of using these hangers to put it on display.

If I try to manually bend the arms down to get a better angle, I can tell I'll break the weld.

Question: Mr. Jones 'n' Mr. Brown

Duke Ellington's Cotton Club orchestra is featured midway through CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK. JAZZ COCKTAIL, from British label ASV LIVING ERA is a highly recommended CD of this band's 1930-era music.

Except for a brief stint in THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1936 and a couple of voiced-over cartoon shorts, CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK marks the only screen appearance for the most popular team in early American radio. The movie itself is now considered un-PC by some for its stereotyped portrayal of African-Americans by corked-up white men.

SYNOPSIS--
The struggling taxi business of Amos Jones (Gosden) and Andrew Brown (Correll) gets a boost when they're hired to transport Duke Ellington's band to a Westchester high society party. The orchestra performs several numbers. At their lodge meeting, A&A are chosen to retrieve a paper marked "Check and Double Check" from a supposedly haunted house. Instead they locate in the creepy mansion a missing deed that can potentially help the son of their former employer.

Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 IMDb viewer poll rating.

(5.2) Check and Double Check (1930) - Freeman Gosden/Charles Correll/Duke Ellington/Sue Carol/Irene Rich/Rolf Harolde/Charles Morton/Edwin Martindel/Rita La Roy/Russ Powell

I imagine if you're looking at this, or thinking of buying this nice little cardboard "Doombox" you already know about Graf Orlock. If not, I'll explain as best as my small mind can afford. They're basically grindcore, more on the "core" side of that, for example, like Converge. All songs are fast, short, straight forward gindcore kickin' punk rock. Ahh, but there's a twist. Most songs, and albums each end and begin with a movie sample. Say, Terminator, Platoon, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Bad Boys, Robocop, The Big Lewboski, Die Hard, Red Dawn just to name a few, I mean a few! All fitting to each song and album concept. Most if not all lyrics are basically movie quotes too. So, this band is fun and I can imagine they don't take themselves too seriously. Now about the box. It's cardboard, and folds into the shape of a boombox with tabs to fit into holes, it's simple folks. On the front is a pouch that holds the Doombox EP 10 inch vinyl perfectly, and on the top is a place that holds the CD. It comes with fake manufacture's instructions I find highly amusing. Now for the CD... it contains the Doombox EP, and the Destination Trilogy songs. Totaling in 42 songs and clocking in just under and hour and 20 minutes. I ordered mine off of Vitriol records for $19.50 including shipping. It was worth every cent.

Question: Fantastic, practical tools and very well organized.

This is so much more than just a book. Erica has done a fantastic job of telling the whole story about how to set up a monthly giving program.
It's more like a toolkit with checklists, templates, resource lists, tips and so much practical advice. She even shows much financial information and spreadsheets so you can track the return on your fundraising programs and sell them to management.
Each chapter is really an easy read. This book is not an academic treatise. You can get through it in a few hours and then go back through it to pick out the tactics and tools that you need for your own fundraising program.
This will be on my regular reference library as I work on fundraising strategies and letter packages for my own clients.

I purchased this book and it is one of the best buys I have ever made. When I did the math, each quilt block design cost me .0036 cents in USD. This may not be the book for a beginner but for those of us looking for inspiration, this is a must have book. With color designs, the possibilies are endless of what a person can imagine creating.

Question: for my purposes I love the lights

Kinda wanted to leave 3 stars, but I figured I'd rate it based on the amateur photographer that I am rather than judging these for professional use. My compromise would have been 3.5 stars, but alas, there are no half stars and in this society we round up, right? Anyway, for my purposes I love the lights. I only use them to record myself for auditions and they work out perfectly. My main problem is that the stands are pretty flimsy, so if I were a hardcore photographer/videographer who needed to invest a little more into my equipment, I would probably want something stronger and sturdier.

The sheer scope of a novel allows authors to develop plots and craft three dimensional characters that can stimulate readers; the short story writer, denied the luxury of length, needs to be an exquisite artist to achieve audience engagement: David Means embodies this excellence in an astounding first collection of stories.

The title of this work, Assorted Fire Events, alludes to one of the pieces contained, although it can serve as a characterisation of the work as a whole, as many of the stories deal with those significant events in life, often destructive and dramatic, that define who we at that time, and, whatever our intensions, continue to intrude on our existence long after their occurrence. This sense of being imprisoned by the past is most effectively articulated in "Coitus" and "Sleeping Bear Lament", where characters engaged in everyday activities are suddenly hit by memories of traumatic events. In "Coitus" Means' skilful writing is able to establish from the onset a profound sense of unease even before we know anything of the characters or their situation, as he depicts a sex scene with factual detachment. Whilst the initial thought is of a relationship in decline, as the parties' robotic motions deprive the act of any intimacy, Means shows that it is the male characters guilt over two separate events, a past bereavement and betrayal, that leads to the sense of disengagement, although, with Means' subtle writing, the sense of a relationship doomed can be inferred. In the confines of this short piece the reader's curiosity can not be totally satisfied, as a tidy resolution is not forthcoming, but it is a testament to Means' abilities that in the space of 14 pages, the reader is stimulated to trace the permutations of the tale beyond the printed page.

"Sleeping Bear Lament", is a beautiful and moving reflection on a class outcast, Sam. Although set in America, the sense of a school pupil who is treat as pariah because he is impoverished, or in some senses different, is a universal experience that cannot fail to resonate with the reader. In this story the narrator is seeking redemption for some distance misdemeanours committed against the outcast, to try and purge himself of his past, and project this better, fully formed adult onto the present and seek "forgiveness" from Sam. Whilst the sentiments of the narrator can be appreciated, there is a feeling that his efforts will ultimately be futile, and his guilt will never be assuaged.

With the possible exception of "The Grip", an account of a man's pride of his physical endurance, and the comical "What I Hope For", which seems to parody tales of relentless loveliness, the stories are saturated with melancholy, with characters tormented, or confronted, by tragic events. "Railroad Incident, August 1995" is a disturbing depiction of urban brutality, where a once seemingly successful man collides with the dispossessed. "What They Did", is tale of corporate irresponsibility, where the feelings of victims are starkly contrasted with the emotional detachment of business organisations.

In short, this is an exquisite, beautifully crafted collection of stories, which deal with the tragedies and emotions that are a mark of human existence. Means, in economical, but profound, prose is able to establish characters and events that generate empathy, sympathy and sadness. It is no exaggeration to suggest that Means, if he can maintain this standard, should be in the pantheon of great American short story writers.

Question: Wonderful book for the whole family

The story takes you in... I see images, like watching a fascinating movie with many characters, emotions, snap shots; I see the camera work zooming onto the details, or describing bigger scenes with ease and grace. Beautifully written and very deeply engaging - the amazing life we are allowed to take part in. I agree - impossible to stop reading. Marie Margis shares with the world her memories with lightness, humour despite the sadness hiding in some parts of the story, nostalgia, appreciation, love and joy. She shares with readers her talent and her passion for life. Beautiful book to read - a jewel... Makes a great gift since this is a book you want to cuddle with in a soft armchair with a glass of wine, or celebrate your Christmas Holiday with - in a special way...

Question: Belkin Swivel Wall Charger

Works great, does NOT slid off the electrical socket like some people reported. Highly recommended. Has a nice look to it also!

I'm not trying to start an argument; I'm asking an existential question. Maybe one of you Apple fans can explain this to me. If you're willing to pay well over $200 for a device like this, what reason could you possibly have to buy the 16GB version over the 32GB version? (5th Generation) For the sake of saving a relatively small amount of discretionary money you lose the camera and half the memory. Let me put it this way: If someone is willing to spend $230 for the worst seat at a football game, and if the best seat cost $300, who would buy the worst seats? It makes no economic sense either to produce the 16GB version or to buy it.

Please tell me why I'm wrong. Would it make more sense if I drank enough hard Apple cider? Apple seems to be stumbling a bit since Jobs is gone. I was sorely disappointed with the 7th gen nano too. This is not rocket science, guys. I know that some of you Apple fans are going to give me negative votes for my comments, but I encourage you to get up the gumption to do more than hide behind a vote. Tell me why I'm wrong.

In this book, Jean Klein combines the best of his writings on non-duality with selections by other authors that complement his own teaching.  In my view, Klein provides extraordinarily clear insight into our ultimate, shared reality, with practical pointers for living in this reality.  Highly recommended for practitioners of any discipline who earnestly seek to understand themselves at the deepest levels.

Being an item for children 3 years and up, it should have been made a little more durable.  Also local retails has similar item much cheaper, sad to say but true.  I'm just being honest here.  I only purchase thru Amazon but this item in particular get a no go from me...

Although this excellent collection was published in 1988, before the term "New Economy" came into currency, it examines ideas very relevant to the role of government during times of technological change. Recent discussions of "market failure" resulting from network effects or "externalities" have been critiqued by others, especially Margolis and Liebowitz. Cowen's collection digs deep into the economic theory of public goods, externalities, and free riding, as well as providing case studies of the successful private provision of supposedly public goods. Essays include Robert Axelrod on "The Problem of Cooperation", and Nobel Prize winner Ronald Coase, with a helpful and substantial overview by Cowen. One point running throughout the essays is that new technologies, given clear property right assigments, can solve public goods problems and that this is typically a better solution than government involvement.

Perfect combo pack and the money in the bank case opens up. You never know what my son stashes in the case.

The book was well written, with respect and compassion. I chose this book because LBPD was my first job when l moved to Long Beach from Baltimore. I was a dispatcher. Some of my fondest memories as well as a few very sad ones were made there. The book was really great.

Question: My plants are flourishing with this plant food!

I love the fact that you just put a few drops in the watering can (mine is cute plastic elephant) and the plants get fed every time you water them.  The plants seem to really like it too! They are really flourishing.  My arrow plant has gotten so many new leaves that I am going to have to repot it soon.  I would definitely buy this again!

Charger arrived early and worked great.  You adjust to fit battery and on + and - terminals of the battery.  Thanks.

works perfectly, adds a bit of shine, makes my hair behave, you barely need any on your fingertips and it goes a long way and it rinses out super easy with no build-up or drying out of my scalp like many other products can do.

First of all, I would like to start this review saying that I have an eclectic ear, and that I like music ranging from Steve Perry, to Nelly Furtado, to Teena Marie to George Benson.

And this album reminds me of the latter. It sounds to me like a cross between a George Benson and a John Legend album. The instrumental tracks are extraordinary. Spanish Love affair and It was all a game are great songs, and I could see playing on any Jazz station.

Some of the other songs, like the title track, she was mine and a couple other songs I can honestly hear on an R&B format station.

And one song just sucks (Mr. Johnson's lawn).

Overall, its very listenable (if that's a word!)

No, its not Jamie Foxx (meaning that the sound of every other R&B singer of the 2000's), yet it's not Wayne Brady (Extraordinary album...download it NOW!). Its still a pretty solid album and the best part is ITS DIFFERENT.

Thank you Mr. Howard for showcasing your diverse songwriting skills (That's right, he pinned all of the songs on this album) and your eclectic talented guitar playing. Your vocal's aren't the best, but they are better than anything from the Disney channel, and you seem to make it work.

Four solid stars.

Question: SABRINA JEFFRIES INTRODUCES US TO A NEW SERIES

Sabrina Jeffries writes lovely stories about lovely people.  This book is no exception.  Generally there is a wonderful sense of humor and entertaining conversation between heroine and hero.

Yvette is a woman who appears very strong and confident to the world.  In reality, she believes that she is not a woman who is attractive to anyone, including her own brother.  She is a bright intelligent woman but her confidence has been shattered because of her childhood as well as her few dealings with courting gentlemen.

Jeremy is an American artist who is known for his controversial paintings as well as his reputation as a rogue.  He has come to Europe to study great works of art and to practice his craft.  His paintings are generally of topics which are dark and depressing.  He never paints portraits.

Because of an agreement Jeremy has made with Yvette's brother, he will paint a portrait of Yvette.  At the same time, he will  also do a secret painting of Art being attacked by Commerce.  Yvette has agreed to be the figure representing Art.  She agreed to this because Jeremy is going to help her with a task she feels she must do to honor a promise she made.

In this story, there are other characters, but they do not really appear except sporadically.  The central characters are basically the entire book.  Their developing relationship is the main thrust of the story.  As time passes, they both have changing opinions of the other.  There are  reasons neither one of them feels very comfortable with the idea of the strong attraction they have for one another.  Their personal histories are coming back to haunt them.

To me, the plot gets bogged down when there is a great deal of repetitive inner thought.  I would have enjoyed more people  around and social activity  to stimulate conversation and keep things moving forward in an entertaining manner.

The plot is an interesting one.  There are ongoing  themes of the differences in the classes as well as the position of women in society.  Yvette feels very constrained by rules.  One of the reasons she is attracted to Jeremy is the fact he treats her as if she is an equal.  And Jeremy finds her appealing because she is open about her opinions and ideas.

I received this book from the publisher, through Net Galley in the hope I would write a fair and honest review.  All opinions are my own.

Definitely the most comfortable Work Shoes Ive ever owed. As with all shoes it took a little time (about a month) to break in. Its important to remember these are still work shoes and so they're never going to be as comfortable or lightweight as regular tennis shoes, but Ive worn many different types and brands of Work Shoes over the years and these are the most comfortable by far. Also its important to remember when buying this type of footwear that Socks play an important role. I would suggest either buying a thick pair of Work Socks, Wool Socks, or just try wearing two pair of regular socks. It really makes a difference.

It didn't quite fit the Samsung SII Phone. I had to cut it down in (2) places. One, around the volume area and two, around the power on/off button. And not all holes line-up with access features, like camera, phone jack, and microphone. I should have sent back. Will NOT ever purchase again from this company.

clasp broke. cheap. face not quartz. quartz doesn't scratch by most anything common to come into contact with except other quartz or diamonds....

Acta Germanopolis is a fascinating compilation of the charter, laws, and actions of the original corporation of Germantown, Pennsylvania, the first permanent German settlement in the New World and my hometown. Some of these sources are partially available in other books about Germantown but everything that still exists is complied together in this volume for the first time. Many of the records are in the original Latin or German and all have English translations. One of the things I found particularly fascinating is the detailed maps and the original lot plans for the entire German Township. It has been interesting placing the original lots in the context of the town as I knew it when I was a boy.

I am proud to trace my ancestry in Germantown to 1694 and this book reinforces that pride further. The early settlers, lead by Francis Daniel Pastorius, created a special community the echoes of which could still be heard when I was a boy but, unfortunately, only exist in memory now.

Hail to thee, Germanopolis!

Question: Excellent resource for personal use or training

represents a new view of dementia. Easy to read. Applicable to those working or living with persons who have this disease.

I bought three of these for a trip out to Yellowstone, initially had them spread between two bikes and 3 saddlebags (had cases), but after the first stop opened one of them to the reek of gasoline.  Checked the other two, same smell.  No liquid leaks, but the smell was overpowering.  Moved them to one saddlebag minimize the cross-contamination smell.  800+ miles later, still no leaks, still smells like hell.  Not quite sure what to try to get rid of the smell, I do want to put them back on the bike as insurance, but not at the cost of an instant headache when I open the saddlebag.

Question: Best Josh Groban Album Hands Down

I can not say enough good things about this album. It is Josh's best work to date. "Straight to You" is the most beautiful song I have ever heard and I have seriously listened to it on repeat over and over for days. I don't think I could ever get sick of this song.
When Josh performed "My December" in concert a few years ago, I knew he had a rock side and I totally fell in love with it. This album is the perfect reflection of that side of him. He writes beautiful music and when he picks songs from others, he picks beautiful songs and then makes them amazing.
My husband thinks Josh has some sort of tremulousness to his voice that I honestly don't hear and don't think I would care if I did. I love Josh's tone and I think this album is his best singing so far.
I love all of Josh's music and this album definitely did not disappoint. It is the best album I have heard in years.
Other highlights are "The War at Home" and "Bells of New York City" but I honestly can't think of one bad song on this album. Galileo is not one of my absolute favorites of his but the song has a nice sentiment. Awesome Awesome Album.

It just had a lot of little pieces and the clue wouldn't hold so I used supperglue other than that turned out good

This charger works really well since I started using it and so far it would make my get another one if needed.

I bought this paint speckled band with anticipation, but have to say I was hugely let down. I didn't realize the pattern may be different than was is advertised. My band's pattern is very different than what is shown, and it's definitely not as pretty and the colors are very dull. The advertised picture makes them look like they pop and are shiny, but in reality it's totally opposite. Also the way the band attaches to the frame leaves weird gaps between itself and your wrist (picture included). I've already started the return process.

I've submitted photos twice, but they are not showing up.

Small, powerful, convenient, simple.  This is a great vacuum!  True, there's no beater brush, so you don't get a 'deep' clean, but for everyday cleaning, it's great for carpets, hard floors, and convenient for everything from stairs to vehicles.  And it's quite powerful for it's diminutive size.  For the low price, you can't go wrong.

Well developed characters that the reader relates to and cares about. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy and other series.

Question: A Very Well Done Coming of Age Manga

It's really, really good. The story is well paced and contained within this single volume, which is pretty rare for manga. The translation is perfect, and the production value is outstanding.

This was the first manga I've read by Kaori Ozaki and I really liked her cartooning, clean lines with just the right amount of bounce to the character drawings and a nice balance between foreground and background. Her writing is good too, she doesn't push too hard in the emotional moments leaving the reader free to respond.

Like some other Mercedes Lackey fans, I had gotten very (very, very very) unhappy with the quality of the books she was turning out.  I HATED Steadfast.  Hated it.  With a passion.  And it irritated me further because of how much I have loved her books in the past, and continue to love and re-read them (yes, I'm a nerd).  Anyway, I thought Bastion was pretty good.  No, it's not new or innovative for Lackey.  But it was steady, interesting and I like all the characters.  Was it full of very convenient circumstances?  Yes.  Was it a lot of the same sort of plotlines she's already done?  Yes.  But I read Lackey's books for comfort food, something to make me feel happy and content, and this book did that.  I enjoyed it thoroughly, and I enjoy reading something these days that is about good people, doing good things, who get to win in the end.  That's what I want from a Lackey book, and that's what this book gives you.  I can read other books to learn something new and make myself think deeply about the world (and do, and enjoy them).  But a lot of those books, while excellent, are downers, or dense and take a lot of effort to read.  Lackey's books don't.  So if you love Mercedes Lackey's books, and you're looking for a comforting, easy read, while this one is not one of her best, it's also not bad at all.

Like others... my ScanDisk Cruzer Titanium flash drive failed.  ScanDisk, too, will not respond to my inquiries.  Apparently the warranty I purchased along with the product isn't good either.  Do not buy this or any other product from ScanDisk.

I guess I thought beer pong balls were just smaller ping pong balls; they are not.  These beer pong balls do not bounce much.  They are made with the soft plastic, so you can easily dent them with a push of your fingers.  Is that what beer pong balls are supposed to be like?  If yes, then I guess they're good.  They have a seam.

I typically buy Samsung but the latest series from Vizio at this quality and price point was too tempting to pass up. The tv is great and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

The keyboard is ultra slim as expected. For the price i paid for it, is worth every penny. NOT good for a replacement keyboard, but ideally better for someone looking for portability. The keyboard is a bit small in length so you have to get used to the keyboard. Works with my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.

Question: THE Go-To Crafting Tool with So Many Uses

There's so much you can do with the Silhouette Cameo. I have used it for home and school projects including cutting paper, vinyl, and fabric. The pieces (both mat and blades) need to be replaced fairly often, but this bundle is definitely the place to get started. I didn't find the markers too useful, but that's only because of the types of projects I typically do. The designer software is also amazing-- you can literally do anything.

Perfect length and bonus features made me choose this short size. Just downsized from a big house and yard to a place with a small patio.

I love that fact that the black mamba is so small when water pressure is not present; it hangs well on the faucet with no rolling needed. Unobtrusive and handy.

When My Woman Left Home with a Brown Eyed Man...

In Saigon, Vietnam stands a papaya tree owned by a girl whose life will soon be changed around. This girl's name is "Ha."  She and her family heard that war was taking place but took no action until one night a loud boom woke their sleep. The war was only a second away. Shortly after, Ha and her family fled to America but the changes for them were indescribable. It took courage and love for them to make it through the year.

Sub-Problem #1: Ha and her family must escape Saigon before the communists take over and rule everything

Sub-Problem # 2: Ha and her family must survive the harsh conditions in the boat that takes them to America

Main Problem: Ha and her family learn new different ways and culture to make friends while working together to protect one another.

I think kids that like adventurous and courageous stories would love this book because Thanhha Lai shows brave decisions and actions described in a diary like format.

My favorite part was at the end during the Tet celebration resembling our own New Year's bash where she hopes for a good year.

I think girls ages 9-12 would love this book because it shows a strong bond between families and it is funny.

Question: Not just another black phone !

Fits perfectly on my Motorola Razr Maxx HD.  I snapped it on OVER a beautiful decal cover (by Decalrus)...not only does it fit well, the colors of the decal show through and provide a very feminine appearance to my standard black phone.  The case edges lift the screen and camera lens just enough that there will be no scratching to them even if placed face down on a rough surface.

This book opens with a bang as Rhona Long's clone awakens with a spotty memory of Rhona's memories. Rhonda was killed 6 months before in a continuing 5 year war against the machines which were created by man and programmed to stop wars which to the machines means to kill all the humans to achieve peace. The original Rhonda was leader of the resistance along with her lover, Camus who knew nothing of the creation of her clone until they meet. His response to the Rhonda clone was negative and he keeps his emotional distance from her when people aren't watching. The story slows to a crawl until Chapter 17 when they emerge from the underground base their company was hiding in. The story from then on holds my attention to the end which isn't a cliff hanger, but continues into the next book "Counterpart". The story is told from Rhonda's clone's POV which shows her trying to find her place in this world she has woken up to. I felt she started to develop her own sense of self because her experiences transend the spotty memory that was given her in the beginning. (Cloning seems to be in the experimental stage and not that common.) What I appreciated with this book is the author really makes the secondary characters come alive to the extent that I really cared about each of them even the ones who didn't live long in this story before getting killed. This gave the book a sense of suspense as you didn't know who was going to make it.  Samuel is so supportive and always there for Rhonda  having grown up with the original Rhonda and also being responsible in creating the clone. Samuel will never get the girl he wants, but he's the perfect Beta for Rhonda to Camus's Alpha.  He is so loyal and always there for her even knowing she loves Camus. I wonder about his future. The humanity of the characters really shines through in this continuing war with the machines.

Question: Highly readable---very scholarly work

If you have any interest in the history of the Second World War, you will quickly realize that this book is one of a dozen or so works that are essential.  It is every bit as readable as Cornelius Ryan's excellent book,"The Longest Day," but far more thorough.  It was hard to put this one down, because it was so well written.  My personal suggestion is that you should end this book by reading Appendix 2, which has D-Day Medal of Honor Citations.  If it doesn't leave you with a tear in your eye and a lump in your throat, then you probably didn't understand the 350 pages of text that went before it.  This book was magnificent.

I did not get the chickory coffee this time very  disappointed - instead I received too many flavored coffee - received twice the hazelnut and caramel crme - not my favorite at all .  It would nice to choose the flavors I would like.

I read a review of this book and the reviewer said that the no-fry chicken recipe alone was worth the price of the book. I haven't tried the recipe yet, but I fully intend to. Many of the recipes seem too time consuming for me, but I'm eager to try a few of the recipes. These are the dishes that Oprah enjoyed the most and kept asking for over and over again. The book explains that Oprah had gone to a luncheon. When she tasted some of the food, she marched right back to the kitchen and asked; "Who made this?" She hired Rosie on the spot. For Rosie, this was a life-changing moment. She moved to Chicago and became Oprah's personal cook. Great story and some mighty tasty-looking recipes. Can't wait to try them.

I really like the taillights.  We received them, installed them and the one tail light didn't work (but the turn signal and brake light did work) so they replaced under warranty.  about a month or less out of the 3 month warranty the one tail light stopped working again (same issue as before).  So it was not covered.  very disappointed in product.
