Question: Hardware was nicely separated and bagged

AFE CAI for my 2012 4.0L Tacoma
Install time:1-1.5 hrs (could be less, took some time to gather tools etc.)
Initial thoughts when opening AFE kit: Organized, well packaged, high quality finish on components:

Pros:
Hardware was nicely separated and bagged.
pretty simple installation. minor adjustment needed for proper fit/finish.
Instructions were adequate
Air injection pump bracket was included.
Throttle response.
Good sound.
Engine breaths easier.

Cons:
AFE reused some stock hardware, unfortunately my bushings on my stock intake were slightly torn/worn.
Intake box did not fully seal to fender wall. not sure if this was design intent or not?
Air injection bracket relocates system, however the air pump actually rests on some sensor/regulator.
at WOT intake is LOUD.
the intake box lid was a PIA to align and bolt down.
Flashing on tubing sleeves

Tips:
Socket extensions helped reach air injection system bolts
I added a washer to one of the intake box bolts because the nut looked like it could pull through.
If Rattle noise is a concern at WOT. I would suggest adding foam to the rear underside of intake box.
CHECK rubber tubing Sleeves for excess flash or debris!!!!!!!!!
I found quite a few strands/flakes of flash on sleeves that would have went through my engine if i didn't see them. FYI Flashing is basically excess material where (2) halves of a die meet together or where the material is injected into the mold (gate area).

Summary:
Overall I am pleased with AFE kit. It is easier to hear how the engine is responding to throttle position changes. It sounds like an actual truck now. Throttle response has improved. Although I have not towed anything yet with the CAI installed, I have the feeling that if the truck is working hard to tow, you will hear it. Quality wise, the AFE kit is on par to OEM craftsmanship.

Exactly the piece I needed. Now the ice maker is working great again. Glad I was able to find this part. Thought that it might be hard to find considering the fact that the refrigerator is 17 years old.

Question: Durable and Generally Awesome

I have had this for about four months and it's still as good as new. My dog weighs 60lbs so I got the medium and it fits her well. After a day of hiking my dog still seems comfortable in it so I assume, since no one really knows what goes on in a dog's mind, that it is in fact comfortable. The pack can hold about three days worth of food and a travel bowl. I use the bungee cord to hold her mat, so my dog ends up hiking with all of her stuff and that frees up some weight in my back pack for whiskey, which is nice. My dog goes into off-leash maniac mode during hikes and is always darting off the trail through the woods and jumping into water and there is no significant damage to the pack, just a few cosmetic scratches on the fabric.
I also use this pack when I take my dog for nightly walks. She's a black dog so the reflective strips of material on the sides of the pack are helpful. And on every walk I load the pack up with either 7 lbs of weights in each side to tire my dog out and to calm her down; or a six pack of bottled beer and a couple thin ice packs (for refrigeration purposes) to tire me out  and calm me down and the pack is still solid. With the significant amount that this pack is used, I am surprised that I have had zero problems with durability. The only thing that may not be durable is the plastic hoop for attaching the leash, but I am not certain because I use a training collar instead.

First, it did not take fifteen years to record these sonatas. The notes are quite clear that they were recorded 1977-78. It is possible considerable patches were recorded later, with some selection of takes still later, but heck, that's been going on since magnetic tape came in after WWII.

Check a book by Glenn Plaskin on a certain famous pianist's patching. Vladimir Horowitz was always revisiting performances supposedly already in the can. The only complete Beethoven cycle without splicing is Schnabel's, and there's more of a few of us who suspect he might have benefitted with some.

Secondly, Ms Fischer was not a stranger to any of these sonatas. She did concentrate on the named sonatas earlier in her career, as did most pianists of her generation. But these recordings were made following performances of the complete cycle in 16 recitals during 1976-77, after 55 years on the concert platform, and Annie Fischer is about the last pianist on earth to sell glib sight-reading to the public.

I saw Annie Fischer only once, in Edinburgh around 1970, and I've never seen a more responsible artist. There's nothing tentative, immature or dishonest about these recordings, and how they were made is less important than the performances they contain.

My only cavil is that the sound may be a bit close for a tank like the Boesendorfer. My preference is not for an under-the-lid sound in what sounds like a small studio (see the additional notes below). I like a piano's sound to expand and breathe in a comfortable sized space. However a lot of other people seem to like the pianists's perspective rather than the audience's, and it's the rule, not the exception, among Beethoven cycles.

(...)

After checking the recordings on the 'scope, I discovered that the engineers have removed most of the stereo information. In some recording setups, the production staff can increase or diminish stereo content as easily as you can raise or lower your volume control at home.

What's left in these recordings is not quite a hard knot of pure, vicious mono, but almost. As a result, you are not supposed to find out that the sessions were in fact done in a warm, spacious hall, not in an airless shoe box as you and I might have guessed. (By contrast, Claude Frank's superb set was recorded in a much smaller room, but the breadth of the stereo wears much more easily on the nerves.)

The cure for the overly aggressive sound given to Annie Fischer's piano is to retrieve the suppressed stereo information. That restores the environment around the instrument and gives the sound some air. There are several ways to do this, but perhaps the easiest is to listen on a surround system and if necessary, boost the rear speakers. The piano itself will stay solidly front and center, but the air around the sound will spread throughout your listening area, easing the occasional brutal proximity of the recording.

And then you will find Annie Fischer's excellent performances sound even better.

Question: Ridiculously wide leg shaft

Love everything about these boots except that they are made for a yeti.  I'm a normal-sized person (5'8" tall, wear a size 4-6 pants, size 8.5 shoe) and I have approximately 2" of room in the leg of these boots.  I mistakenly kept them thinking that "it's not so bad" and "maybe with jeans they're ok," but the truth is, it looks like I'm a little girl playing dress-up in mom's boots.

This was a good sequel but I didn't like it nearly as much as the first book. It felt as if it stalled out with more of the same.

Question: What a beautiful journey

I have loved each of Mrs. Pennys books. I love the quirky characters & the history, but this one is my favorites by far, though I thought that about all the ones that came before. I learned so much about Gregorian chants and the wonderful monks who keep this history alive. My mere words fail to do a review justice, especially in light of such beautiful prose provided by Mrs. Penny. Read these books and enjoy the beautiful mystery.

Gave it to my Uncle for a birthday gift. He likes it a lot.

Question: Great shoe for walking -- won't slide around and slip off

I bought this shoe for vacation and was glad that I did.  I usually wear a closed toe walking shoe on vacations but I needed to be "dressed up" for this particular trip.  These shoes were perfect.  They looked dressy enough to wear with my skirts but were very comfortable for walking around a campus for a week, and on concrete sidewalks around the city.  The straps do a great job of holding onto the foot so the shoe doesn't shift around the way a strapless sandal would.  And the embellishment on the front is quite pretty. I've had lots of compliments on these shoes and will buy more of the same for next summer.

this is a great case if you are looking for durability without sacrificing the size of your phone.  The case is very slim lined and didn't add hardly any additional size.  My only issue is the case can be a little slippery.  It is not bad, but you have to be careful when pulling out of your pocket.

Question: Works perfect on a 2013 Large Cannondale Scalpel

I noticed Cannondale pros use this on their setup so I figured I'd try it.  If they can keep from losing bottles, I'm sure I will be able to as well.  Water bottles fit snug and I really don't see having any issues with loosing bottles even on the rooty trails I ride.  I'm able to use a full size bottle without any issues on my Scalpel, Large Frame.

Question: a treasure that disappoints

To the book's credit, it is beautifully produced, and the authors have done a wonderful job of seeking out and finding many gifted and colorful people who have spent their lives doing important work in Hollywood, most of them far away from public scrutiny.  Alas, here the execution begins to fall apart.  There are fascinating stories and recollections scattered throughout the book, but you have to skim to find them.  Too often the interviews, when they aren't frustratingly brief, are reduced to generalities about the subjects' respective professions.  Time and again, one of them will drop a hint about a potentially interesting or dramatic experience they endured on the job, but the interviewers never ask the next question which would have led to that tale.  It's particularly tragic when one realizes that so many of these marvelous people have since died and, for many of them, this failed opportunity was the first and last chance we ever would have had to hear their unspoken stories.  Why the interviewers were so reluctant to ask specific questions, or to ask for an interviewee to elaborate on or otherwise explain an intriguing comment about a colleague or a production, must remain a mystery.  Or did they ask, but lacked the wisdom to include the answers?  Did this book, like so many movies, leave its best bits on the cutting room floor?

All too often, there are factual errors, some due to sloppiness, (PURSUED, written by Lester Cole, was released in 1947, not 1934), some to ignorance and/or an inability to properly hear the words the interviewees are speaking, (Howard Hughes' famously pithy instruction on viewing RKO from above wasn't "Take it," it was, "Paint it.")  Lovers of Hollywood films and their history who read this book will find much to enlighten them, but also, unfortunately, much that will disappoint.

Just the quality for diy but not For daily use at all. The gauge covers are the screw on type but they just jammed them on. The covers pop off easy so you have to be careful. Bought a conversion kit for ten bucks that allow these gauges work with anything. You get what you pay for.

Question: Classic jazz with chops

This album contains lots of great big-band sound and historically important music, all characterized by Maynard Ferguson's full-bore stratospheric high register. This guy had his chops from an early age and wasn't afraid to run with them. Those of you who grew up listening to Ferguson's edgy jazz-rock (Chameleon, Primal Scream) or pop ("Star Wars" theme, et al) should give this a listen even if you don't think you like the more traditional big-band music. Just hearing Ferguson take control and blast out his solos will be worth it. Who knows, you might decide that Stan Kenton's worth listening to after all.

Sound quality here is surprisingly good except for a few radio recordings that just weren't preserved well. Although most of these songs are top-notch, "The Band Ain't Draggin'" and "Wow" are, well, kind of dorky. "Draggin'" does feature some nice trumpet work, which makes it worth listening to. Hey, nobody's perfect and this is still a five-star collection.

Don't pass up a chance to buy this cookbook if you really want to learn about what you are cooking and if you love Mexican cooking. This is every mothers cookbook to her son or daughter, chock full of great family recipes, short stories and love.  Mrs. Gabilondo taught me all about chilis in 8 short pages full of illustrations-I have never had to refer to any other book for this information.  Her book is my bible. It is now a worn, jacketless hardback I purchased in 1986. When the man of my dreams appeared I cooked him her recipes for Cheese and Potato Chowder and Minced Steak Burritos. We are now married and I have used this book to cook his family favorites as he is hispanic.  The recipes have become part of my life.  You have all the different sauce and salsa recipes in this book you will ever need and frankly it is the only book for mexican cooking you will ever need.  If you think making tamales would be too hard the simple illustrations make it much easier-trust me.  (My in-laws have even taught my two young daughters 3 and 5 to make tamales and they are better at it than I am!)  The recipes for Chicken and Rice, Tamales, and Chicken Mole I have made for up to 50 people and more and Mrs. Gabilondos' recipes still hold.  Also, all my husbands family and friend have raved over the results-and they know what they are talking about.  My personal favorite was making the Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic as there is a great story behind the great meal that I will leave to my children in the notes I will put in their copies of Mexican Family Cooking by Aida Gabilondo. They will not be leaving home without it.  I have made more than half of the recipes in this book and most are every day family meals now. I love to just pick it up and read it for the recipes, stories and because of the love imbued in it by the author.

Question: Interesting Thoughts but Needs Editing!

The author, Giannina Braschi, speaks three languages (English, Spanish, and Spanglish). The author is highly educated with a doctorate. The author has a fascinating mind with her stream of consciousness writing which takes up half of the book. She is constantly referring to William Shakespeare's great tragic play, "Hamlet," at many times.

In the first half of the book, she writes as she thinks about many things including the world after September 11,2001 in Lower Manhattan where the upcoming tenth anniversary will take place at Ground Zero where the once mighty twin towers of the World Trade Center stood. I did take away the symbolism of the catastrophe from that day. The author herself is a witness to the disaster and a resident of the area.

The second half of the book reads like plays with serious conversation between the author, Hamlet, and the Statue of Liberty. While I found the book to get a little wearisome, repetitive, and boring at times, the author needs an editor in this section of the book. While I found the author to be somebody I would admire and love to have a conservation about the state of our country, Puerto Rico's place in the world, Cuba, September 11 events, and others, I think she needs to edit about a 100 pages in order to perfect the book for a reading audience. Still, it's enlightening, insightful, but sometimes repetitive at times.

Ordered a size large and got a RED shirt and it didn't have a size on it but still looked very small, it was definitely not a large. Very cheap material, print is horrible and I got it late.

I've used all sorts of cases for iPhones over the last few years, and these are in a whole new genre that I've never really used before. These are extremely thin, and flimsy even when compared to your average TPU case. I was looking for something very minimal, even considering using the phone without any case at all. This case would be great for someone who wants protection that's one step above an adhesive skin and one step below your average silicone/TPU case. The phone will have scratch resistance now with these, but no drop protection. These will be perfect for someone who wants to be able to use the phone as it should be, naked, but with some protection. They are thick enough that the camera lens is perfectly flush and doesn't protrude, if you want to get an idea of its thickness. He fit is tight on the corners, you have to kind of stretch it over the last corner when putting it on. The sides move easily as if they are going to pull off from around the phone, but don't. I feel so far they are worth the price for two. I will definitely be keeping my other case (Diztronic) for days where I feel I need more protection for normal use.

Of all the facial exercise DVD's that I own this is the one that I reach for. This is an excellently executed DVD --the instructions are clear and

time to follow along.
Some of the other DVD's cost a lot more, and seem home made. The photography is very bad ,the person explaining the exercises is also the one doing them and most of the time the face is covered with their hands and there is some incoherent instruction, mostly mumbling--.

Question: Sweet story that makes you want to help

I started this book a year ago and then gave the hard copy to a lady who was moving out of the country. But I couldn't forget it. I downloaded the electronic copy and started it Saturday afternoon. I finished it before the weekend was over.
I enjoyed this story very much. The journey of the young friends was a bit hard to believe, but I suppose in today's world, where so many children travel alone, it could be possible. I could see bits of many of my friends in the protagonist.
This book gave me hope that even the little voices have the power to at least get the world's attention.

Question: Fantastic, entertaining, action-filled!

Other reviewers did an excellent job of describing this book, just want to affirm that this is a terrific book.

I bought this novelfor my 11 year old son, but he hasn't gotten to read it yet because first i read, then my 19 year old daughter, hopefully he gets it next!  Wonderfully descriptive language, action packed, can't wait for the next one.

What a difference a year makes.  While White Light/White Heat was a sort of orgy of howling, shrieking and pounding, this album sounds more like it was recorded in someone's living room and they were worried about bothering the neighbors.  Only one song (What goes on) rocks in the conventional sense, and even that has uncharacteristically clean, feedback-free guitars.  Needless to say, the big change is the departure of John Cale, and while that loss effectively destroyed the original, unforgettable chemistry of the original Velvet Underground, what remained was still an engaging and unusual group of music-makers.  Well worth owning and studying, especially alone under headphones, late at night, where the claustrophobic mood will be best suited.

I took a flyer on this book because Jimmy Fallon listed it as one of his favorites of 2014. I don't normally buy books due to celebrity endorsements but Fallon said he couldn't put it down from first page to last. He's right. It is a gripping true-to-life tale of what might happen if a terrorist manages to get a hold of and synthesize a virulent and highly contagious disease. The story is more than terrifying because it feels like something that could happen today. This is truly one of those "you can't put it down" kind of books. Don't read it if world events scare you. You'll be even more scared when you're done.

The G Stats book allows one who wishes to improve their game the opportunity.  I use it myself and coach high school golf and find it a real help in teaching the young people how to help themselves.

This was a good movie to watch with my son. In the days of life online, it demonstrated the power of imagination and where it can take you. Get out and live people.

Question: extreme waste if hard earned money

I could've written this. Short with absolutely no value whatsoever. If you've been on etsy for even 2 weeks you could've written this. Save your money.

This is normally a $50 part if you go down to the dealership or get it through one of the major online VW tuning shops (such as ECS). The seller I ordered from was offering it for around $38 so it was a nice savings. My only gripe is that VW packages the item in a little canister (as shown in the picture) which allows it to rattle around.

This is a critical wear item if you own any VAG car with the 2.0T FSI engine (Mk 5 GTI, Mk 6 Golf R, etc), which has the cam-driven high pressure fuel pump. Failures are fewer today, as the latest revision of the follower has a more wear-resistant coating, however the part needs to be checked and replaced periodically. CHECK THOSE CAM FOLLOWERS PEOPLE

Question: Dashcam works very well as advertised

I reviewed reviews for many dashcams and found this model to have the best features for the price. I bought one. It performed so well , i bought 6 more for company vehicles and my wife and childrens' cars. I paln to buy more to give as presents to selected relatives and friends.

I was enjoying this series. The art was nicely done, and the male character was very handsome. The story was cute and them exploring their relationship was enchanting.

 I purchased the latest book the other day and read it... till "the end". The END OF THE ENTIRE SERIES! That's it. Welcome to the short life that is Happy Hustle High. You don't even realize the END is coming in this series. You'd hope something more exciting would happen, like a surfing tournament, them going to hawaii, musical performances, SOMETHING to progress the relationship of the characters. But it ends making you feel empty!!! The characters look fulfilled, but the audience is left wanting more. I sat in disbelief for 30 minutes over this ending!

So in all, this isn't your normal shojo. This is like watching your friends find the best guy in the world. And that's it. So if you're looking for a shojo with dramatic twists, this is not your series.

p.s.

the illustrated love scene is the worst I've come by.(I'm a big fan of MARS and Red River, and this series couldn't even dare step into the same pool)

Question: Sunsets at Seaside is a fun, romantic

I gave Addison Coles Sunsets at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers #4) 5 Stars.
Sunsets at Seaside is a fun, romantic, easy to read novel and I fell in love with it!
One of the reasons I loved this book is that it is about Jamie Reed, one of the men of the Seaside Village Group. He is the hero of the book and a favorite of mine. Jamie is a handsome and unassuming multi-millionaire computer nerd with a heart of gold. I loved the heroine Addison gave Jamie. A shy and beautiful young woman in the form of Jessica Ayers, a professional cellist.
The way they meet had me laughing out loud! On one Thursday morning, Jessica tosses her cell phone over her deck railing in frustration. As it sails over the railing and beans Jamie on the head he shouts out in surprise. Jessica, is mortified and tries to hide when she sees Jamie striding up the deck stairs with the cell phone in hand. It is when the two see each other for the first time that you know that Jamie and Jessicas summer at Seaside will be anything but a normal day at the beach.
I was totally drawn into the beautiful tale that Addison wove of Jamie and Jessica getting to know one another and how their relationship developed into something more. Ms. Cole wrote a passage that I absolutely love as it describes Jessicas feelings for Jamie perfectly. Im not falling for you. She tried to keep a straight face, but when the smile in his eyes faded, she couldn't play out the ruse. Youve swept me away, Jamie, like Vivaldis Four Seasons. You start out soft and magical, and then theres this intensity that takes my breath away and makes my body ignite into flames, and then theres the softness again. And just when I think were as close as we could get, you surprise me with something as simple as a kiss on my temple Dont we all want someone to make us feel that way?
However, as deeply entwined in his romance with Jessica is; Jamie is confronted with a serious taste of work reality when a virus infiltrates his computer system. Here is another reason for loving this book, I felt the tension grow as Jamie shifted his attention from his idyllic time with Jessica to the immediate need of correcting the serious issues brought about by the computer virus. From here, Ms. Cole lets us feel Jessicas insecurities in wondering whether she is losing Jamie. In addition, Addison tosses in more food for thought when Jamie begins to think about how well he knows Jessica. It is at that point we wonder whether will doubts and questions undermine what this summer has brought to Jamie and Jessica? Were they meant to be?
I really enjoyed Sunsets at Seaside because Addison Cole brought together a great read, a touching romance, and a good amount of tension. Hope you give it a read as well!

Every woman of a reproductive age needs to read this book. It's written so the average person can understand, but it's not so elementary that you feel like your watching the "How Your Body is Changing" video from Health Education. The method is scientifically based and so easy to understand. It covers from adolescence to post-menopause (although there is a book by the same author which is more appropriate for pubescent adolescents). Whether you want to have kids, not ready yet, already done with kids, no matter what your circumstances -this book is perfect for any woman.

Question: Joan burnt again; The MESSenger

This stinkeroo is getting as much effort from me in this review as director Luc Besson put into his scenario.  Yow!! Luc Besson has made some awful movies, but this one has got to be among the very worst, and is certainly the most blatantly dishonest and ugly.

She can get away with being as bizarre.  If she can make money at it, she is doing a good job.
She would be even better if she could do the music with cleaner videos.

Question: Fun to learn about blood type.

Great book. I bought two, one for me, and one for a birthday gift for a friend. He liked it so much that he bought me some of the foods listed in the book and it was really fun to learn about the foods and my blood's type.

One of the subject has been covered, and better many times starting with Eye of the Needle.  The need to deceive Germany on the location of D-Day.  The author uses brutality and counter-counter spy to hype the intensity.  One more description of a buzz bomb was redundant.

Our author tries too hard and as a consequence the book is a faux espionage novel.

Question: My favorite brand of bottled water.

This is my favorite brand of bottled water. It isn't fancy: it's just distilled water that's been laced with electrolytes (magnesium, calcium, and potassium bicarb) for flavor. It tastes (to me) how water should taste, and is easily chuggable. I also like Icelandic water and some of the more alkaline waters; I dislike some of the spring waters (although it's all water, so I don't dislike it that much).

The price for this particular item is a little much: I can find this at my grocery store or local warehouse store for about $1/bottle.

The con: the title and cover. This book should have been republished with its original title that was What if, strategic alternative of World War Two. Its not a novel of the axis winning the war and taking the major capitals of the allies. Sorry for the people who bought the book thinking it was a novel like Peter G Tsouras and sci fi writer Harry Turtledove.

If you liked Robert Cowley What if books you will love this book. Its counterfactuals about how the second world war could have gone another way. The subjects strats from an early war in 1938(if Chamberlain wouldn't have made a deal at Munich) to the what if the Allies had landed on Japan even after bieng nuked(Operation Olympic). Mostly the allies would have won, the axis would have had few occasions to win even if taking Moscow. Famous military author like Richard Overy and David Glantz contribute to this book. There are a few alternate history, one where the soviets and the americans clash around Berlin(but that dosen't translate in a war) and where Hitler avoids declaring war to the USA. All the majors aspects of the war are mentionned from the important war on the eastern front to naval priority productions(an example: Imperial Japan choising between giving priority between builidng battleships or aircraft carriers). For counterfactuals afficiando to people interested in World War two I recommand this book. Even with is misleading title I give it a five stars review.

Question: ok but, pain in the but to set up and no range

Its an ok toy. Finally got it set up today. On a dial turner radio right around 96 you will hear almost like a whoop kinda noise. Hold the microphone right up to the speaker and listen for the squeaking interference kinda noise, which you will get if you turn your radio up loud. It really has to be right next to the radio to work, so no running around the room singing. Still kinda cool for what it is but, I had a dj set with a cassette player built in and that way 15 years ago and it didn't even have to be so close to work. It was called radio dj they have them on amazon although I could make it like to it.

Purchased these for my husband who is a hydro-excavator.  We works in all weather conditions, from 27-110 degrees.  This work boot retailed at $150 at all of the retailers in our area, and none of them carried a mens size 15. I couldn't believe the great low price offered on Amazon, plus having a size 15!  Not to mention, the convenience of having them shipped to my front door!  Husband is happy!  They keep his feet cool in the hot weather and dry & cozy in the wet winter.  He also says that they are super comfortable, being that he is standing on his feet for 10-12 hrs a day!

Question: Lightning Returns= A decent game

Final Fantasy will always be one of my most favorite games of all time, and this game is on the top of my gaming favorites. Lightning Returns is indeed a pretty good game despite the timer based gameplay and sometimes confusing missions, but it's still a cool game to play for any Final Fantasy fan like me.

ARC Audio/Unabridged/Fiction:  The book just came out, so no spoilers here.  This is my second unabridged audiobook that Ive listened to from this author.  The last one was full of people who made bad decisions.  Police procedures were a mess on top of officers not taking action when a child is being abused or neglected; not because they were being malicious, but because they thought it would upset the child to be taken away from the train wreck parent.  It was the same in this book.

The local police are either Keystone worthy and/or corrupt.  All the women over 30 are slow speaking willowy types that have some sort of former or current dependency issue.  On top of that, everyone makes multiple bad decisions.  The protagonist makes them; the antagonist makes them, everyone.  Elizabeth makes one after another and I don't blame her father, I blame her mother, who should have stood up for her daughter.  And then Officer Elizabeth says at the beginning of the book that she knows Gideon is being neglected by his father to the point of major abuse, but leaves him in the home because it would upset Gideon.  The only person who makes two good decisions after some really bad ones, is Channing; and thats only when she goes all Ripley without a moments hesitation.  Otherwise, Miss Protect & Serve tells Channing to talk about what happened, but only to her, not to a professional.  Hence, Channing becomes a mess.  And no, I haven't spoiled anything.  This book is full of character development and red herrings.

So you're saying, how come you're giving it four stars if you had so many problems with human stupidity?  Well, it is an entertaining story.  I listened to it over three weeks during my lunchtime walks around the mall.  I thought I didn't like the last one either, but it made and still makes me think.  I don't know if this one will either, but it may.  If you're into police procedurals, this is not the book for you.  The police are a defense attorneys dream with lackadaisical evidence gathering to the point of criminal.  It will just make you mad.  And when you find out what the bad guys are after and what it ends up being, youll scratch your head because if no one talked then they thought it was the first thing, not the second and therefore what did they think they could do with something that old?  Yes, that was meant to be mysterious.

Question: Lezyne X Brooks Front Light

Love these little lights.  Exactly what I wanted.  Perfect! Love the Brooks/Lezyne collaboration on this, with the copper!

I really like this knife the blade steel is good the construction is both functional and creative and the NIRK lock is a great innovation. This blade is just like Brian Tighe's custom knife only offered as a production blade from CRKT for a reasonable price. This knife is quite large but due to the thin handle and relatively light weight carries well. I would consider this more of an every day carry knife or gentleman's folder than a hard use knife. This blade is so stylish that people will often ask what it is or to see it when you get it out for some cutting task.

Question: Great Supplement for PK-2 Science

I bought this book when I taught kindergarten. It has nice large print that is easy to read. There are 1-2 sentences per page. There are large colorful pictures of food and people. I wish it was a little more ethnically diverse people throughout the book. Best as I can tell, the only ethnicity shown is Caucasian and Asian.

I like that there is a table of contents, index, and picture glossary which includes the words: exercise, healthy, and nutrient. The pictures are clear and there are examples of each of the five food groups. I wish the book was a little larger, but it works well to use at rug time or if you have a document camera you could display it up on the board.

I would recommend this book as a supplement to curriculum about health for grades PK-2nd. The back of the book shows that there are six other books in the "Healthy Eating" series for each of the food groups (they split fruits and vegetables). I would be interested to see what these books look like. I would be willing to buy another book from this series.

Love the pips and quality. Shirts run small in size.

Question: Just all around good.

Works great, feels great, easy to wash.  No downsides.

This is a beautiful cookbook and so much more than just 'gluten-free'. It's a down to earth cookbook with concrete tips and tools to create an everyday gluten free pantry, but it also goes beyond the basics to create some truly delicious meals. I honestly had not heard of all of the types of flours and ingredients the author includes, but she walks you through the what and where to buy questions for these items.  I love the variation in complexity of the meals - from a simple pot of beans to beautifully prepared vegetable sides (warm carrot and sorghum salad!) and to a more elaborate raspberry cream tart. I am sure this will be a go-to cookbook for entertaining guests of all dietary needs.

Great but the only thing is that everything is too small to connect the cables inside and to assembly the nuts and bolts.

For 25-30 dollars, this is fantastic for beginners. It does not sound as loud or clear as a more expensive ukulele (for example, the 70 dollar Kala KA-MK-S), but that doesn't bother me, since the price and the color makes it completely worth it. This ukulele is so easy to play. I was a beginner to string instruments and this was great because the nylon strings are really soft and didn't hurt my fingers like guitar strings always have. I was able to really commit myself to learning the ukulele because it's SO easy to pick up, but there is a lot to learn still as I get more experience! Lots of replay value, haha, get it?

Question: First Mechanical Keyboard

Great keyboard, solid build quality, no annoying led lighting, great packaging, great carrying case, everything was high quality. I was especially surprised by the quality of the keyboard because i have never heard of Sentey before... but this keyboard is just insane for the price. I also love the low noise cherry mx black switches!!

Solid quality for a decent price. I purchased this item from Amazon for around $15. I had read the overall fantastic reviews so figured it would be worth a buy. This product arrived well packaged, with two cards of authenticity from Royce. I must say, this impressed me, as it shows that a great deal of care and attention to detail goes into their products. The leather itself was a bit tough, something I am sure will relax and soften over time. For my passport, this case fit like a glove, and I feel comfortable that my passport will not slip out of the case. It seem to me that this case will protect my passport for several years to come.

Question: Stay Away from Phoenix Photo third party seller.

Beware when you buy from Phoenix Photo a third party seller of this camera. I ordered this camera because I needed a spare crop sensor to my full frame 5D mark 2. I saw the price and I bought the camera. Once I got it I used it one time and it froze up quite often. Also they advertise the camera as brand new which is wasn't you can check the life of a camera to see how many photos were taken with the camera. Honestly I don't mind used stuff as long as it works. I was very disappointed. Slow, laggy and a lot of noise in the picture. I returned the camera and bought a 80D instead which cost double this but I have had no issues with it so far.
A couple days went by and I got a call from Phoenix Photo. They ask me why I returned the camera and I explained the issue with the lag and freezing up. The guy then immediately said this "dumb move pal we are bringing a small claims against you!" And hung up. I found that odd and immediately called Amazon who apologized on there behalf and sent them an email requesting a refund. Then i went on there page and left a review explaining for others to stay away. A few minutes later the guy called me back apologizing saying that he called to see if I was trying to hustle them because there was no camera in the box and  that after hanging up on me he noticed that a hole was cut on the box and taped back up. He explained he isn't sure if I tried to pass it off as if someone stole the camera or if the camera was really stolen but he apologized for calling me and being rude. They then proceeded to open up a case against me saying I'm fraud and that they are not going to refund me my money lol well long story short I'm going to get my refund through A-Z and I think these guys are fraud and attempting to sell damaged items and then refuse to give you a refund if it doesn't work. I've been a customer longer than they have been open as a business and spent thousands of dollars on Amazon. Sure I've made some returns in the past but I also keep 90% of the items I purchase as long as they work. Just beware of third parties sellers for this camera since it is not sold directly by Amazon. Ohh by the ways they are able to delete comments you leave on their sellers page. Mine somehow disappeared meaning their 98% satisfaction rating isn't real. I learned the hard way.

I love this amazing sensual romantic book so much. So romantic, so beautiful. A complete lust between two people. The beauty of a woman's complete control in her world and the strength of her partner in love that exists in the world for them both.

It contains three  very exciting exotic and erotic senses that are pure in the romance of love. These are very captivating to the eye and made it so very hard to put the book down. An excellent read I would recommend to anyone!!

Question: Works better then my large garage opener.

After reading a few of the reviews, I was worried to buy these, but decided to try. I bought three for occasional usage (neighbor who feeds the cat, cleaning lady and for personal backup) and they work great! Better then my large garage opener. I tested all three, moving farther and farther from my house and they all worked! With my large opener, I have to be in my driveway. With these, I was two houses away and they still worked. I've only had them a week, but so-far, so good.

Question: Decent cheap monocular

Decent cheap monocular. Fine if you're just using it to casually spot things, and cheap enough that you won't miss it if you lose it.

Pros:
- Fits in your pocket
- Light
- Focus and zoom dials have a nice feel
- Tripod hole with cover
- Good accessories for price point: lens cap, lanyard, microfiber, and thin nylon carrying case with belt loop

Cons:
- Way too much zoom for the objective. Completely unusable in anything but bright sunlight. Expect everything to be dark.
- Eye relief is very close, especially on higher zooms, making it annoying for people with long eyelashes or glasses.
- Cheap plastic

The rings were exactly as pictured, engraving was spot on. Only issue that my wife and I have found is that it appears they are not tungsten carbide. This means that the binder metal in the alloy is cobalt instead of nickel. Adding the nickel binder (tungsten carbide) makes the ring hypoallergenic, even for people with a nickel allergy. Cobalt can trigger an allergic reaction in some people, hence the blister-like bumps that my wife has had repeatedly for a month now. Guess these will be boxed or trashed and a new set purchased

Question: A good and entertaining read

Witty and with characters that are brought to life very well by the author!! Interesting story line woven around Merry Wrath and her 'past' and 'present' lives. A good and entertaining read.

I'll admit that at first I did have an issue with the age difference. I wished that Toby could at least be 5 years older. However, I have to say that Laurie and I journyed together in this. We became companions and then friends in our thoughts regarding all that is Toby Finch.

Toby grabbed me from the beginning with his confidence and just knowing what he wanted. Then I grew more fond of him as his insecurities started leaking out. I was with Laurie in wanting to hold him, love him, expound how special Toby is. In the end, I too, fell in love.

This story depicts two completely different people becoming one in a world where they're love isn't the social norm. Laurie is a 37 year old man that moves toward submissive tendancies while Toby is 19 and very much a Dom. They're story is a beautiful showing of relationship evolution. The sex is outstanding and in the end it just leaves me completely content and blissfull with all that is Laurie and Toby.

Question: Beautiful looks, and very easy to mount them and plug & play.

If you are going to buy the cube flood lights, ought to buy thse. The look and appeal is awesome. They are not to shiny to draw an excessive amount of attention, and not too fade not to notice them. Just adequately appropriate.

Asne Seirstadt writes an honest and candid account of her four months of life with an Afghan family, following the fall of the Taliban and the end of the reign of terror they subjected the Afghan people to.

She spent these months with the family of Sultan Khan who- for twenty years-defied the tyranny of the Communists and then the Taliban by selling books on the black market because the tyrants did not allow books except those which subscribed to their narrow minded and sick ideas.

Afghanistan was a great, progressive and vibrant country during the reign of King Zahir Shah who was overthrown by Mohammed Daoud Khan in 1973 after which followed 5 years of instability and then the sheer hell of Communist repression followed shortly thereafter by the Taliban's reign of terror.

During the 70s already underdressed women risked being shot in the legs or having acid sprayed in their faces by the fundamentalists.
After the civil war broke out more and more women had to cover up. After the Taliban seized power all female faces disappeared from the streets of Kabul.

My heart really hurts for these women and girls who suffered so under the Islamists and had to be hidden away and obey through fear.
And I point an accusing finger at all those leftists who claim to believe in feminism but defend excesses Should women in these countries got less rights than what you people take for granted?

Even after the Taliban were overthrown women and girls feared going out alone or dressing as they pleased, because of the residue of terror that the Taliban had left behind.

During the Taliban era one of the most hated buildings in Kabul was the "Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Extermination of Sin". Here women who had walked unescorted by a male relative, or who wore makeup under their burkas, and men who cut their beards, languished under torture and many died.
Before that these had once bee the headquarters of the equally brutal Soviets.
No wonder Leftists and Islamo-Fascists love each other so much. They both have the mania for cruelty and destruction and the death impulse.

Asne Seirstadt witnessed the destruction and death left behind by the Taliban.
The Taliban engaged in ethnic cleansing of the Tajiks and other minorities in northern Afghanistan, raising entire villages to the ground and poisoning water wells and blowing water pipes and dams (vital for survival in these dry plains) before they withdrew.

Seirstadt masterfully covers the sights, sounds and smells of Afghanistan from the cramped life in people's houses where extended families lived together to the bazaars and the 'hamman', the massive communal bath,  where thousands of women  cleaned themselves and their children on certain days of the week.

Seirstadt captures much of Afghanistan's history and life and culture in these pages.
It is an excellent book for those who want to learn about this country.

Question: Micro SD to USB didn't help me

I bought this on a last ditch attempt to recover some picture and music files from a bricked cell phone, because it was very cheap. The adapter itself should be self explanatory, there were no instructions included, but I found it a bit difficult to determine exactly how far to insert the Micro SD card, there was no positive stop.  Eventually, after trying it in several positions, the original lightly inserted was indeed working, my Windows computer simply couldn't recognize the storage format of the files on the sd card. I suppose that this should have been obvious to me before I bought it.

Surprisingly durable and makes a solid connection for small stacks of paper. I am really enjoying the massive reduction of metal staples in my life and the many unexpected benefits thereof.

Be careful to SHOW people how to use these before they try on their own. I've seen some people almost injure themselves trying to use this the first time and it had nothing to do with the stapler. Perhaps if the manufacturer added a thin grip pad on the base this could improve an already outstanding product.

Question: It's nice but.....................

It looks good, however, even though you wrote, do not bend, the post office did.
Today is my daughter's birthday, so we'll see if it works the way it's supposed since it does have a
large crease in it.  I would suggest if you are going to keep selling these, to put a piece of cardboard
in with it so the Post Office or carrier can't fold it.

I hope it works on my daughters laptop as I will be very disappointed if the crease doesn't come out and doesn't stick right on her computer.

Thanks for asking for a review and hopefully this will not happen to anyone else that buys this product.

CAW system is lacking, season mode is too short and not very good, A.I. is clunky at times, and opponents don't stay down no matter how much punishment they've received.

Other than that, it's a decent game, though Here Comes The Pain is the pinnacle of the Smackdown franchise.

Well, I'm finally at the point where I don't know what to say about a Cirque Du Soleil album. I own every Cirque CD, including those live versions of Alegria and Saltimbanco, which were only released to the employees of the Cirque. The problem with this CD is the sex that was thrown in. Almost every song has a background of moans and screams, almost too much for anyone's taste. But especially songs like "The Good Thing", where the female rapper repeats "I only care about what you got in your pants"...they just put one off. I don't mind the music, it's in my taste, but this CD is R-rated, and I'm not sure if I'm really into it.

Limbus, Inc. is a shared world anthology with a shady employment agency in the center which specializes to recruit people on the fringes of society offering them a perfectly fitting job for lots of money.

The stories span a wide area of genres, from sci-fi, over fantasy to horror and hard-boiled noir detective.

The collection is held together by a publisher who receives a strange manuscript and suddenly finds himself being followed by the topic of these stories.

I really enjoyed this anthology, because I never new what the next story would bring and I would love to read more adventures about employees of Limbus, Inc.

Question: Not all supplements included

Book is great, shows sites of injections and etc but does not provide ALL medications/supplements which wasn't beneficial when it came time for clinical but still a pretty good book.

The Examined Life is a down-to-earth, honest, thoughtful, and sensitive account of moments in one analyst's long-spanning career. What a pleasure to read and no doubt return to in years to come. I would recommend this work to anyone who enjoys a well-written book, has wondered about the flavour of psychotherapy, is curious about the way therapists' may think and feel during sessions and the personal impact of therapeutic work on the therapist him/herself. Also a must for both students and practitioners of psychotherapy.

Question: MY BEAUTIFUL LEMONGRASS!

I bought my first 2 LEMONGRASS plants plus 4 more lol for my besties from this seller over 2.5 years and I've been having the coolest patio/yard. I have been able to divide these beautiful plants from these initially 4" pots and granted unslightly to some when you take them out of the box but these LG plants just continually thrive and expand so much for me, I am running out of containers and yard/patio space lol. Just from my first 2 plants I had purchased, grew into 8 plants , which are in 12" or larger planters. These huge, graceful , healthy clumps of intoxicating divinely scented lemongrass are very hardy. Whatever critics impatiently did not do, lemon grass liked our ratio of 2parts compost to parts garden soil around our rocky landcape protected by burlap on a few nights of frost we've had over the last two winters, and the ones I can carry in their containers happily spend those evenings in our kitchen/dining area just to show you, they are not delicate lol. If you can care for a lawn or even a houseplant, anybody can easily maintain LEMONGRASS to keep for years.

phone worked fine for 5 months after fixing the speaker option. now I cant hear on the other end again.

Question: Great case for the price!

If you can't afford a nicer (but not worth $25 nicer) case, then get this case.  My wife got two of them because on her last phone she had a similar case and wore it out after a year.  So these cases are so inexpensive that we got two.  It fits very nicely, and will protect from a drop at any angle...aside from dropping your phone screen-down onto a rock or something.  I highly recommend this case.

Question: Love this box... Kind of

I bought this to bring in my Kayak with me. I would plug my ipod in it. It worked great and I also flipped my Kayak and that didn't seem to phase it. I started using it everywhere as a portable speaker. So when I was doing the yard work and things like that I jam out to it. After about a year of use however both clasps have broken off and now the product is useless as the speaker doesn't work as well when the box is open. I don't know if this is due to all the use or if the clasps are just cheap.

Just had the most comfortable night's sleep on my new Tuft & Needle mattress. Perfect blend of firm and soft. My parts all feel supported! I've put my expensive, back aching and leg numbing Stearns & Foster on Craig's List, and replaced it with my Tuft & Needle, which costs less than half as much. Could not be happier.

Question: OK, but issues with DisplayPort and others...

I liked this monitor enough to keep it but after using it for a couple of months there are some things that really don't like about this monitor.

But to be fair, I'll start with the good:
- It's big.
- The color is good
- Lightweight, sleek
- It works with well with a monitor arm. In my case the AmazonBasics one.

But here's the stuff that makes me want to replace it rather than live with it for the next several years. In order of inconvenience:

1. The DisplayPort (one of the main reasons why I bought this monitor so I don't have all these mini-Display port adapters to my Mac) - has a real hard problem auto-detecting when I wake up my computer. When my Macbook falls asleep, with the monitor shut (clamshell mode) and displayport plugged in, I'll hit a few keys on the keyboard or wiggle the mouse to wake it up. I hear my Macbook wake up, but the monitor doesn't turn on. I'll plug the cable in and out, sometimes I have to unplug the monitor, open up my macbook. I never had this problem with my old monitor when going from mini-DP -> DVI adapter -> the monitor. This really drives me nuts.

2. When your computer falls asleep and you don't turn off the monitor it keeps showing this error message about "No DisplayPort" detected. Most other monitors I've used simply go to sleep as well. So I have to remember to turn off the monitor.

3. Text is pixelated. The resolution at 1920x1080 really should max out around 24" monitors. But this at 28" and the same resolution it's basically stretching out those pixels. So, text isn't smooth.

Really great book.  I thought I knew most of the sleeping tips - after years of trying to find some help, but this book is full of good info.  She covers a wide range of helpful angles and I will pass it on too friends in the same boat.  Thanks o much.

Question: but I like these. The light that comes on in the ...

These Night Lights are so cute.  I've had many in my lifetime, but I like these. The light that comes on in the dark is seemingly clear white and very bright.  Their design looks good also.

The platinum works pretty good when it works but I have experienced nothing but problems. The first one I purchased started smoking and it smelled like an electrical fire on it's third use. I took it into an authorized service center who later called me back and told me the manufacturer Royal would not authorize repair even though it was still under warranty because I purchased it online and not through an authorized dealer. After a great deal of hassle Royal finally agreed to send me a replacement machine after I paid another $75 dollars to ship the defective machine back. I have used the new Platinum Force they shipped me 7 times now and the extraction pumped failed duirng it's last use leaving us with soggy carpets. Maybe it is just my luck but I cannot recommend this machine.

Question: Tasco Essentials 8x21 Binoculars

I've had a pair of small, lightweight Simmons 8x21 binoculars (Mossy Oak Model 25100 made in Korea) for about 25 years. They are lightweight yet rugged and very durable, and easily fold up to fit in a shirt pocket.  The optics are excellent for their size. I've used them when hunting, hiking, and for carrying in the car. Never had a single problem with them.

Recently I thought I'd buy another pair of small 8x21 binoculars so I looked on Amazon and found these Tasco Essential 8x21 binoculars which were a little cheaper than the Simmons 8x21 binoculars, so I ordered them. That was a big mistake.

When the Tasco binoculars arrived today, I was hugely disappointed in them compared to the Simmons binoculars that I've had for many years. The Tasco binoculars are only slightly smaller and slightly lighter than the Simmons binocs, yet the Tasco binoculars look and feel like a cheap toy compared to the Simmons binoculars. If your eyes are wideset, then the Tasco binoculars may not be usable to you at all since they are very limited in how far (wide) they will open. They will barely open wide enough for me and my eyes aren't particularly wideset. I wish the Tasco binocs would open a little wider to make them more comfortable to use. Also, the optics are not as good as the Simmons binocs.

I guess I'll keep the Tasco binocs since they were so cheap and I don't want the hassle of sending them back, but if I had it to do over again, I'd spend another few dollars and buy the Simmons binoculars. Live and learn.

I have these installed in my workshop. Very lightweight and easy to install. They cast a bright, cool light that is way better then the fluorescent fixtures they replaced. It took a little bit adjusting to the difference in color temperature but once you get used to it you realize you're seeing things much more clearly. Not to mention there isn't that annoying fluorescent buzzing sound.

Question: a 'reality check' book to read

often when things go wrong, i pick these type of books up and read them. this one confronted me with some issues i will reexamine now and deal with. thats tough to swallow when you're down but its helpful on 'this journey in life.' i recommend this book to anyone who wants to move a step further along the path

I have read the Atlantis series, the Psychic Warrior series, and the Area 51 series by Mr. Mayer, so I'm very familiar with his writing style.  To me, this book didn't disappoint me.  It stayed true to his style by grabbing my attention and not letting it go until the very end.  He mentions several events from the past and while he doesn't change them or the outcome from them, he offers a slight spin on them that makes you think "I wonder..."  I enjoyed how he ties the past and the present together to make the story go.  I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Question: My dog is happy with this

My dog is happy with this. My dog usually bite everything you left behind on the floor but to my surprise he didn't chew it. This works well for me and for my dog, I like that it helps me tidy my place since I'm staying in a condo, I need to maintain the cleanliness in my place and this product is a great help.

Jewelry is one of the few items that is accepted by most any woman, so when I had the chance to get this sterling silver diamond accent necklace, I gladly accepted. All I had to go by was a picture on a screen and a fact list, but I was pretty sure the wife would like it so I ordered and waited for it arrive in the mail.

As I expected, my wife loved this necklace and while she does own several others, this one does have qualities that set it apart. It has an attractive, shiny appearance and the double heart design is very nice. But I think what my wife liked best is the way the chain is attached. The manufacturer made it so that the chain is on the back, not looped through the middle of the pendant. That means the front of the necklace is always facing out, like it should be. You don't have to keep flipping it around, like you do with other necklaces.

This necklace is on the short side and that means that, for most all women, it will position itself higher up on the neck, making it just right as an accessory for certain clothing. I don't claim to know exactly what it will go with and what it will not- I leave that up to the lady in my life, who has the whole jewelry thing and accessorizing process down pat.

I like the sturdiness of this piece of jewelry and it does seem like it was made to last. And the price is more than fair for what you get. All things considered, I cant really find anything wrong with this necklace and my wife loves it, too. For the money, its going to be tough to beat and it gets a five star rating from me.

This product was supposed to be new. Instead, I received a damaged box and a used item that I can"t return.

schubert created both intellectually and sensibly balanced compositions, and he created those more passionate.  the passionate works are often lost through a lack of appropriate performers.  however this recording is a good example of schubert's heart exposed through his works.  the performance is passionate and heartfelt partly at the expense of technical precision. however, so much more is left to bare than others' interpretations.  this is a very worthy recording, worth your time to listen.

Question: Since my last review wasn't able to be submitted for ...

Since my last review wasn't able to be submitted for being to honest I'll try again.my son enjoys the one I got for him

This novel is a family drama set amongst an Indian American immigrant community. It follows a main character who was the first in her family to be born in the US, flipping back and forth between current times when her father's health is in question and her career is in crisis, and her childhood, both visiting India and growing up in the US.

However, the plot is not the most impressive part of this book -- the writing itself is colorful, sensual, and rich. There are innumerable unique metaphors and descriptions that are totally new but still perfectly capture what they're describing. You feel like you can taste the food, smell the too-long-since-showering, see the swirl of people on the dance floor.

The characters are fascinating, and balanced between quirky and real. This balance is key to the book -- some strange things happen in the progression of the story, but all the characters are so well-developed and plausible that it's easy to understand where everyone is coming from. The romantic mystical tone is also balanced with gritty realism which makes the events read more true. I don't often get particularly emotionally wound up in books, but this one got me because they got the balance right. There are also subtle motivations that the author doesn't beat you over the head with, but which play into the evolution of the the story.

This book reminded me of an Indian-flavored young Kingsolver. I stayed up way too late reading this, and don't regret a bit of it.

That say these are dishwasher safe but I don't recommend it. They will just get crappy and crack so it is better to not. Other than that, they are good. I homeschool two elementary age girls and plan their lunches for the week so there is no fuss.

Hard to find now (Jan) but gave several as holiday gifts. Everyone said they were well made. Picture is serene & colors ran true. Good fabric weight. Metal rust-proof grommets. Hope it becomes available again.

Question: Excellent steak knives

Excellent gift.  We bought them for son and his wife.

These screen protectors are amazing. I have used lots of screen protectors in the past, but this was my first glass ones. They look good, work good, and install is so easy my 5 year old could do it.  I did both my phone and my wife's. When the screen protector hits the phone, it almost sucked itself to it and I didn't even need the squeegee. On my second phone install, a very tiny, dust sized piece of plastic from the outer film accidentally got between the screen protector and my phone and didn't suck all the way down like the other. I removed the whole thing, carefully picked off the plastic piece and re-installed it just as easy as the other one with no issues of it becoming loose. It's been 3 weeks now and is still perfectly on my phone.  Buy this if you need a screen protector, they are great!

Question: Best spikes and worth every penny!

Don't even bother buying another brand or type of spikes!!! You get what you pay for and these have incredible traction and are so comfortable you don't even realize you are wearing them. Since my purchase I've worn them twice hiking technical trails in the mountains in snowy & icy conditions (above 10,000 feet) and they offer excellent traction and grip on ice, in light to moderate snow (from a few inches up to a foot). Very easy to put on and take off. I highly recommend this product!!

Very appealing and fun insight about life from the wisdom of a cat!  Good advice for everyone!

Question: Professional modern style that is durable and can store many items! Great place to keep the items you need on-hand!

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/C1hpq8mrO7S.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/01cKsy5%2BUYS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> The HOMETEK 5 Compartment Desk Organizer is professional, modern and durable. It is a great place to store the items you need to have on-hand, instead of rummaging through the papers on your desk to find the phone, a pen, etc. The Bicast Leather looks very sleek and comes in black or brown. The soft inside will keep your mobile device from being scratched, plus it is waterproof. The only think I would like to see added is a specific place to put your pens and/or pencils. All the compartments are large, so the pens/pencils slump to the side unless well-packed in. Thank you for watching! This organizer was purchased at a discount in return for this honest and unbiased review.

Shoes fit better with socks though they can be worn barefoot as well. They look great and are comfortable. They do need to be washed often as they pick up dirt easily. I highly recommend to anyone looking for stylish comfortable boat shoes.

Question: Great GamePlay, I didn't find bugs or get bored!

Good game, better than Halo 2 and the sqaud is fun, handy, and intelligent. I have heard repotts about bugs but I didn't find any. The game is somewhat short but the good visuals and interactive envirments make up for that. The squad is very funny and keep you entertaned in the darkest places. Easy controls, and good acting, plus the missions don't get boring, even if you do them again and agian. I may have finally found the perfect game. Kinda a mixture between halo 2, Ghost Recon, and battlefront. With a variety of alien ***holes to kick and very powerful stategic requirements, this game is the best!

So crisp and clear some times they forget they are wearing them, they work in the sun and in the shop

After 25 some shots, I do not see any string fraying, or cracked limbs as others have forewarned.  Also, the scope appears to be right on once I sighted in the 20 yard pin.  Hitting 1" spread easily.  The 3 arrow quiver should have been at least a 4 arrow quiver, and it is quite cheap.  In a hunting situation, having to shoot an arrow to de-cock, only leaves two arrows with broad heads.  You would hope that would be enough, but......Overall, I am happy.

Very nice scope for the money! Sturdy and works as described by the manufacturer! Hours of fun and discovery! Excellent choice for kids!

Question: A metal classic which absolutely deserved to be remastered

I was in high school when Slayer first appeared, and I didn't take to them right away precisely because they were too loud, fast, heavy and scary for me at first.  However, I'd come around to appreciating them by the time "South of Heaven" came out, and when I heard it I was utterly blown away.  Fast-forward to 18 years later, when I learned there's now a remastered version of "South of Heaven."  I went out and got it immediately, and it has been one of the heaviest-played selections on my iPod since.  18 years later, they still sound as raw, primal, savage and brutal as ever, especially in the kind of crisp digitally-remastered sound that the original CD version wouldn't have held a candle to.

What makes "South of Heaven" unique is way more than its pure speed, volume and heaviness -- there are a zillion albums like that.  Slayer has a very distinctive style, and I have always been able to tell just from hearing a piece of music for five seconds whether it's Slayer or some other metal band.  Also, the whole album is remarkably cohesive in a way that very few albums, metal or otherwise, are.  There's not a single bad track, just some songs that are better than others.  And the songs are equally good by themselves or in the context of the album, which is listenable from start to finish.

Something else occurred to me as I was listening to this album again.  As much respect as Slayer deservedly gets as a band, their individual members are horribly underrated as musicians and masters of their instruments.  Dave Lombardo deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as other respected drummers like Alex Van Halen or Neil Peart, and guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman's shredding skills are right up there with Eddie van Halen and maybe even Randy Rhoads.

If you have the original CD version of "South of Heaven," you are missing out on a lot.  Go out and buy the remastered version, which truly does justice to Slayer's sound.

This is a solid 3.5 star for me. I liked Kiersten and Wes together, but had some hang ups with the story causing a lower rating.

Spoiler alert so do not read ahead if you don't want to know the outcome.

Wes was uber rich, a total stud who was the starting QB on the college football team, super sweet and way too sweet and as another reviewer said "cheesy". There was insta-love which I'm not a fan of. One of the hang ups I had was with his illness and the tumor surrounding his heart. He was taking exploratory drugs and would have days where he could barely keep anything down yet he was still on the field every day for practices or games leading the team to victory. The most unrealistic part for me was when he went from being at death's door to a miraculous recovery. The couple is so in love after a very brief period they promise to get married shortly after Kiersten becomes a sophomore. I had issues with this. Let the girl be at least of drinking age before you carry her over the threshold. I liked the friends, Gabe and Lisa, however, after reading Toxic (story of Gabe) and Fearless (more cheese factor about Wes and Kiersten and preps readers for the story of Lisa in Shame), I decided I was done with this series.
