Question: You can't decide which one you like better!

This is another perfect book of Ali. If you like romantic college stories this Pro-U series is for you! Fun to read while you learn about trust, relationships and family.

I liked the look of this set.  The finish on the salt and pepper shakers comes off if scratched.  Otherwise it was what I wanted

Question: Michaels weaves another winner

Read her first Cupid's Bow book, was impressed with the development of the story and wanted to complete the series.  Loved this one just as well.  Look forward to more!

Christian historian and theologian Jaroslav Pelkian points out that starting with St. Augustine, and later enhanced by the Enlightenment, Western Christianity has obsessively focused on sexual guilt, the search for the historical Jesus, and has had an almost obsessive compulsive fixation with fact finding all at the cost of the failure of Western Christianity to create a living cosmology. Likewise Marxist critics like Fredric Jameson and Slavoj Zizek have repeatedly asked the question, why is it that we can imagine the end of all life on the planet before we can imagine a more modest and less harmful to ourselves and the environment form of global capitalism. These two philosophical missteps have come to define the modern age, and no one seems to know what to do about it.

Enter into this fray Pfleuger's "A Brief History of Space, Time, and the Afterlife" as an earnest attempt to say something about the modern dilemma. Pfleuger's alternatively hilarious and poignant text is an attempt to open the door towards answering these questions. Nowhere is it overtly preachy because it opens up new intellectual possibilities for the reader to ponder and complete on their own rather than providing the reader with a top-down instruction manual as to how to live their life. And while our commodity-obsessed culture tends to naturalize its own flaws, Pfleuger points out that there are indeed still possibilities out there beyond a world where buying stuff seems to be the only worthwhile human endeavor.

The cognitive dissonance Pfleuger creates resonates throughout his selectively ambiguous and flowing prose style. The result is a text which may drive some readers bent upon the reading a five paragraph essay nuts while giving more open readers an almost experimental dose of thoroughly nourishing brain candy.

In the "Epilogue" Pfleuger himself admits that his text is open to interpretation, and this spirit serves him well throughout the text. By jumping from topic to topic and invoking symbols or historical ideas, such as Betsy Ross and the romantically idealized nostalgic pop-culture image of 1950's, throughout the text Fleeger invites the reader into a dialog with the text rather than just speaking at the reader. This openness allows a non-Christian such as myself to find something of supreme worth in this admittedly Christian text, and led me to write this glowing review.

In short, "A Brief History of Space, Time, and the Afterlife" is a poignant text dense with stimulating ideas. It lends itself to multiple readings and it is very likely that a thoughtful reader will find themselves finding new things to like and to see as meaningful with each read.

Question: A Murdered Professor and a Missing Girl

The Wales police are trying something different.  They are setting up Major Crime Units to respond to cases and get results faster.  Evan Evans has the honor of being placed on the very first one, and they are immediately sent out to their first crime.

A university professor has been shot through an open window while sitting at his kitchen table.  The man was brash and opinionated, so the list of potential suspects is rather long.  But Evan's new boss is focusing on the man's wife.  She claims she was out walking her dog when the crime happened, which isn't a solid alibi.  Still, Evan thinks there is more to this case then meets the eye.  His theory is proved right when a second murder with the same weapon takes place in a nearby town.  What is the connection between the two men?

Meanwhile, things are getting interesting in Evan's village of Llanfair.  An Arab family has just bought the local grocery store and is reopening it.  They represent a huge change to the status quo, and many aren't sure they like the change.

Evan's wife, Bronwen, has befriended their daughter, Jamila.  Jamila begins to open up to Bronwen, sharing the trouble brewing in her family.  They are thinking of shipping her back to Pakistan to face an arranged marriage to a man much older then she is.  Bronwen is concerned, but that is only heightened when Jamila vanishes.  Where has she gone?

Since Evan moved up from patrol to detective, the series has spent less time in Llanfair.  While I understand the need to expand the series, I miss spending time with the characters there, and savor each appearance they make.  Their appearances here are fun, and the perfect counterpoint to the story.

Both mysteries are well developed.  Being the sub-plot, Jamila's story stays perfectly in the background for most of the book.  The main mystery of the murdered professor kept me intrigued.  I had a suspicion as to what was going on, but wasn't completely sure until Evan began to put the pieces together.  Both stories tie together well thematically, making this into a coherent whole.

Evan and Bronwen are the only recurring characters we spend much time with in this book.  Their newly wed relationship is a joy to watch, and I enjoyed their scenes together.  The many new characters were well drawn.  I had no problem keeping them straight.  Even the characters that had small roles were strong and memorable.

After ten books, this series feels like a visit with friends.  While the old friends aren't around as much as I would like, the news friends are fun to meet.  This is a strong mystery series that shows no signs of slowing down.  Here's to another ten!

While the product was exactly what I was looking for, the size warranted quite a laugh.
He picked them up, and said uh uh not gonna work.  I look, the pants are so small I'd think a 12yr old would be hard pressed to fit in them.
I checked the size chart and ordered accordingly.  So, the product would have been great I'm sure, if only the fit would have been.
Returning ASAP

Question: electric log  splitter

this  is  an EXCELLENT product ,..quality  all the way through , comes  with  everything except the battery and  the fluid ,  easy  assembly , may need  2 people  to set  the ram / slide  to the trailer ,but  i managed by myself pulls  great behind a  4 wheeler ,.. but  the MOST IMPORTANT  thing  is  it  STARTS in  COLD  WEATHER

Some information in this book is not 100% correct, but I think it is an excellent effort and a very useful book. The main error I recall is that the author says a fiancee visa gives you 6 months to get to know your prospective spouse... in reality the time period is 90 days and the U.S. government specifically says that it is NOT supposed to be an introductory period but rather the final checks and arrangements on somebody you are already committed to marrying. It is a bit hard to understand how the author missed the mark like that on something so very central to what this book is about.

Also I wonder if the author hasn't been doing some rationalizing or wishful thinking on the subject of how completely accepted the young Filipina/old American relationship is in the Philippines. I was just over there and saw the 19/55 combinations and I was told they are viewed with a mixture of pity and displeasure... and the topic of considerable gossip. Well, maybe the person telling me that had motives to do so... I don't know.

One thing the author didn't hit was the subject of tipping. I have 3 books on the Philippines so far and none clearly state what the normal custom is there. I mean I'm sure they are happy to take my money, but do Filipinos usually tip at restaurants, and how much?

Another thing the book should have covered is diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. All the travel books and the U.S. government recommend drugs to protect from malaria for tourists, but I'm sure the native people are not taking any such drugs. What is the consensus among expats living in the country? Surely the expense and side effects of the drugs make it nearly impossible for long-term residents to continue taking them. A little insight here would have been really nice.

But overall I liked the book. The author comes across as a fairly decent person, and the book seems packed with useful information and good advice. I felt it was like having a long chat with a very knowledgeable yet regular guy.

Question: Good MB-D16 replacement

Set this up on my D750 and it worked flawlessly.  Shot several basketball games with it with power to spare. Gives me maximum fps on my Nikon.  Haven't set up the wireless remote but will add my findings later.
One note- this unit ships directly from China, so it takes a couple of weeks, but well worth it.

I liked it but he could have provided the reader with a chronological order or at least a timeline. I thought he might have been a history student earning his PhD but he's a professor so it was odd he chose to write a history book like this.
Also he should have went over Chinese Buddhism and Taoism first before diving unto the particulars. It assumed the reader had the same knowledge up until the same point.
It's a great read though. Kung fu guys need to read it to understand why their martial art isn't effective for fighting. The author delicately points out that Shaolin monks didn't practice weaponless martial arts to be able to fight.
Other interesting points:
Their staff style was legit, then it withered, it was revived by an actual military general but had died out before the open hand style replaced it.
The temple didn't have an abbot for over 300 years.
Shaolin monks along with other monks were constantly recruited to fight wars for the government. Shaolin was known to have the best soldiers.
Boddidharma never taught martial arts to the monks, that's a myth.
Shaolin open hand kung fu was primarily for health and spiritual development since open hand fighting was considered worthless at the time due to real weapons including guns.

Question: Kitchen Soap Dispenser that actually Works!

Works great. My husband wishes I bought this sooner (and so do I, to be honest). I have tried fancier looking soap dispensers in the past, but they never work that well and/or they stop working all together after a short period of time.  This dispenses a nice amount of soap, and does so consistently. It's easy to keep clean, and doesn't get all gunked up. It's not the nicest looking soap dispenser, but it's certainly a step above a bottle of dish soap left out on the counter.  The charcoal color is a muted shade of gray that should work in most kitchens.

Have not used it yet, but the the one that came with the warmer worked great.

Question: A coming of age novel with heart.

A coming of age novel with heart. Written in the vernacular of the adolescent it captures the poignancy of the transition to young adulthood. Great characters and well-paced narrative. It won't disappoint.

Alistair MacLean, one of the great adventure storywriters of all time, went into a precipitous decline beginning in the 1970s.  "Bear Island" (1971) is the last of his stories that can hold a candle to his great work  of the 1950s and 1960s.  From that time on, the decline is relentless, with  each book being worse than its predecessor.
"Santorini", published in  1986, is the last sad evidence of this prodigious talent in decline.  The  book is static and talky, with no adventure, no suspense, no tension.  And,  worst of all, virtually all of the action takes place "off screen" and is  reported to our nominal heroes as they converse in brave understatement  meant to convey the greatest heights of modest heroism.  Upper lips don't  get any stiffer than those of Commander Talbot and his Number One  Officer.
In "Santorini" MacLean expends all of his energy laying on very  thick the cataclysmic consequences that would result from the explosion of  the atomic and hydrogen bombs that lie in the hold of an aircraft lying at  the bottom of the sea.  This is typical of his latter work:  he tries to  create suspense by escalating to nearly world-ending destruction the  consequences that would befall mankind if the villain has his way.  At the  same time, in the latter books, MacLean creates heroes that appear to be  supernaturally talented and cunning - so much so, that never for a moment  does the reader believe that the villain - a "genius", according to the  author - has a chance of succeeding.
In his latter works, his tendency to  hyperbole clearly gets the better of him.  His protagonists are supermen,  and his villains are the earthly manifestation of evil, making Satan  himself seem like a choirboy by comparison.  Their boundless evil provides  justification for the ruthless tactics of the protagonists.  In the  black-and-white moral universe of MacLean's latter stories, the only way to  defeat such villains is to replicate their ruthlessness in the name of  "good".  This is not a very becoming trait in a writer, especially when it  is dwelled on as much as MacLean tends to in some of this books.  "Goodbye  California", for example, is an ugly piece of work that - if it could for a  moment be taken seriously - would deserve the label "fascist  literature".
There is laziness about even his early work that simply goes  out of control in the latter books.  In "Santorini", for example, every  character uses the word "inevitably" - not because it makes sense for them  to do so, but simply because the author is too lazy to come up with  dialogue that distinguishes one character from another.
"Santorini"  ranks below such abysmal efforts as "Goodbye California", "Floodgate",  "Athabasca", and "Partisans", and stands, to my mind, as the worst of an  outstanding writer's work.
Anyone interested in good adventure stories  should steer clear of MacLean's latter work.  Read the outstanding tales he  wrote in the 1950s ("HMS Ulysses", "The Guns of Navarone", "Fear Is the  Key") and the 1960s ("The Satan Bug", "The Dark Crusader", "When 8 Bells  Toll").

Question: A big disappointment after the excellent comic book

I've been a huge fan of Mark Crilley's whimsical and beautifully-drawn "Akiko" comic books (also available in graphic novel collections), so I was definitely interested to see if he could capture the  same fun and fanciful storyline in this version, his first prose young  adult novel. Unfortunately, it doesn't translate well. The characters and  situations are still great, but Crilley's very flat and dull prose doesn't  have the scope to inspire the same amusement and sense of wonder that the  illustrations of his comic version do.  I found myself flipping absently  through the novel just to look at the illustrations he's provided here--by  far the best part of the book. Akiko is still the same spunky 10-year old  Japanese-American girl, but her first person narration is unanimated and  uninspiring. Worst yet: the novel ends, not even with a cliffhanger, but  with a flat "To Be Continued"...the quest Akiko and Company have  started never even really gets underway--this story is *not* complete.  That's a cheap trick to play on a kid (or even an adult!) who's read your  book so far. Sure, Crilley ends his graphic novel collections on similar  minor cliffhangers, but what works well in the serialized, monthly comic  book adventures is hard to swallow in a novel from which you expect a full,  complete story. Granted, I'm an adult reading a kid's book, so I may be  being too critical, but I think writers like Lemony Snicket, Philip Pullman  and J.K. Rowling have more than proven kid's lit can intrigue, amuse, and  inspire adults without talking down to kids. What's *good* about this book?  The wonderful illustrations, the theme of sticking by your friends, the  likeable heroine Akiko who's a bit unsure of herself but always willing to  do what's right and stand up to her fears. But you can get all those  aspects--in a much more entertaining style--in the graphic novel reprints  of the comic book version. To find them, click on the "All Books by  Mark Crilley" link or enter the ISBN #s (1579890091, 1579890199, and  1579890237) in the Amazon search field. In other words, Mark Crilley has  created a wonderful character and fun concept...but this prose novel  execution is not the best way to read it.

Belkin is a well-known manufacturer of electronics and telecom equipment.  They fabricate many different kinds of telecom cables, including Category 5.  The Cat 5 cord pictured is a low profile, where the insulated connection between the cable and the modular pins, provides protection against damage.  Unfortunately like many others, the cord I received does not have factory terminated pins.  Substituting a cheaper, lower quality item is misrepresentation at best, and fraudulent at worst.

For Cat 5 cables, improper termination is one of the most common reasons for reduced transmission rates, or cable failure.  Cables are supposed to be tested for compliance with industry standards, before being sold.  On average, a non-insulated connection is more likely to fail, because the cable can more easily be bent or twisted.

I bought a factory terminated cord on eBay, made in China, for three dollars.  The packaging states that the cord had been `Verified to ETA/TIA 568' standards.  Unlike the Belkin cord, which had no statement about testing.  I paid half as much and got a better quality item, so when I need another cable, I won't be buying this one again.

Seems like misrepresentation is going on here.  The incorrect image should be pulled, or replaced with an accurate one.  It's not worth my time to return the Belkin cable.  The cord works, but I didn't get what I expected, and I would be wary about purchasing any other cords made by Belkin.

I'm a bartender and I'm always looking for a quality pair of shoes, I have always had good luck with Rockport, these are made in collaboration with Adidas, something was lost in translation.

Question: Older, Craftier, Better

When I first heard this album, my reaction was similar to some of the negative reviews: limp and uninspired.
But then I listened to it again.
And then I found myself listening to it every day. There's real juice here, folks. It's just that it's not Graceland. It's a wee bit more difficult and a wee bit less hook-filled. But there's absolutely more depth here. Paul Simon is getting older, craftier, and maybe, even, better.

I have consistently enjoyed everything I have read by this author.  The action is always well done. However he often goes well beyond those expectations and broaches some very deep and compelling ideas.

Overall, very happy with this speaker.

Question: Ordering a larger size? They expect you have the chest to match.

The bathing suit body fits fabulously. I love it. The suit is actually really cute. The cups? Well, they are quite large.

I'm 6' tall, I had to order the larger size just to get the torso length I needed, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I have a large chest. I've researched and ordered something additional that I hope can change the cup size at least a bit so I have a little support.

If this other product doesn't help, I'm going to have to return it, which is too bad because it really is so cute.

Question: You should get yourself one. Great gift for men and women

Its a very great product. The company did an excellent job with creating this. Great gift and not that costly.

I found out about the Brandy Alexander books from a discussion here on Amazon. I'm so glad I listened to the recommendations and bought all three books in the series by author Shelly Fredman. I've been an avid mystery reader for decades, and only recently ventured into the romance genre. The Brandy Alexander books have a wonderful balance of mystery, humor, and romance. And by romance I mean an honest (if at times humorous) look at real relationships: the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking.

This first book in the series has a few spots of clunky phrasing, but the characters are so endearing that it just doesn't much matter. By halfway through the book you care about the whole crazy crew. This is amazing since the book is written in first person, not my favorite style usually. I don't care for first person because it's often difficult to get a well-rounded view of the books characters, since you only see them through the eyes of the narrator. It takes skill and insight to write a group of well-defined characters using this writing style. Sue Grafton does a great job in her books, and so does Earlene Fowler in her "quilt" mysteries. But some of the more popular humorous mystery writers using first person have fallen into the trap of writing caricatures instead of real people.

I highly recommend these books.

Although it was a bit on the pricey side, as an Eagle Scout, I've used Eureka tents my whole life. The Sunrise 8 is no less impressive. For a novice this tent could be set this tent up in ten minutes or less.

Great book!  We all talk down to ourselves from time to time. this book helps you to become aware of when you do it, the type of negative talk you are engaging in, and approaches to improving how you talk to yourself.  The way you talk to yourself is the way you are 'programming' your brain and mind.

Question: I wanted to keep for myself..

Best Christmas gift for my brother. Details are beautiful and very adjustable joints.

FYI, I'm going to be duplicating this review for the other two parts in this series. I've been a hardcore anime fan since the mid 80's, I even purchase a lot of Japanese region exclusive anime. I've watched them all, from ROBOTECH to GaoGaiGar to Witchblade. And Gurren Lagann is a very, very good anime series. One of the best.

  The story is very well paced, reminiscent of Gunbuster (the original OVA, not the new series). Sorry, I'm not going to give away any hint of spoilers in this review. But let me say that the character development and evolution is handled as well as any anime or film I've seen.

  Gurren Lagann's style is a mix of Naruto and GaoGaiGar. Familiarize yourself with those series if you haven't already. Basically it's just WAY over the top!! It doesn't matter if it's the characters, weapons or scale. If the scene can be made any more spectacular, it is. I can't say enough about this series, other than BUY IT!! Support this kind of high grade anime!! And hopefully we can get more amazing anime series like this in the future. Thanks.

Question: Have a little soap opera with your cozy mystery...

Drawing Blood is one of those mysteries that sneaks up on you  at least it did me.  At first it seems like theres just too many unrelated things going on, but at a certain point it all comes together and WOW. Brilliant plot crafting.

Some parts do feel a bit more soap opera than cozy mystery, and more than once I had a difficult time relating to CeCe, the main character.  She and her housemates are Freegans, a group of people that take Dumpster diving to a whole new level.  I mean, Im all for upcycling just about anything except my food.  Thats just no.  Im glad it works for some people, but its not anything I can wrap my more-than-slightly-prissy mind around. And then there is CeCes very convoluted family tree.  Her dads not her dad.  Her now-deceased brother wasn't her brother.  Her boyfriend is her not-brothers twin from whom he was separated at birth thanks to her not-fathers obsession with DNA research. If that weren't already twisted enough, theres more! Her creepy not-father took one of her eggs when she was TWELVE YEARS OLD (which yeah.) and fertilized it with a  contribution  from her not-brother. So she may have a kid. With her not-brother. The niece or nephew of her boyfriend. Who, in case youve lost track, is the separated-from-birth twin of her not-brother.

Yeah.

I do think it would have been helpful to have read Drawing Conclusions, the first book in the series, as it seems to have set up most of the background I mentioned above. In fact, I would recommend that to anyone interested in reading the series.  Start at the beginning!

Bottom Line: The quirky characters grew on me, and the twists and turns of the plot had me on the edge of my seat by the last few chapters. Some elements of the Freegan lifestyle and the insanity that is CeCes family were a bit much for me, but neither was inconsequential to the story and by the end I could see the value of each element to the plot.

(I received a complimentary copy of this book.)

The final installment of this series was definitely worth the wait and yet I agree with both the lower rated and higher rated reviews. I definitely feel the final portion felt a bit dragged out at times, with tons of dialogue and such splashed across the pages. While this gives us insight to how the character's are feeling it does make you just want to skim certain portions. Persephone has definitely come into her own by this part of the novel, not afraid to stand up to her family or friends. However she can be a bit bratty at times which seems like a backwards step. She has spent two novels evolving from childlike goddess to a powerful and seductive Queen of the Underworld, and yet sometimes she stomps her foot and acts petulant, like the child her mother sees her as! Overall I was satisfied with the ending...I mean we all know what the ending is going to be (if you are a mythology buff!) And while M.M. does know her stuff and has intense passion for the mythology I do think this portion could have been a bit shorter and to the point. But I still have major respect to her as an author, so kudos to bringing this little idea to the printed word. Banzaii!

Question: Great Product, Thoughtful Packaging and Customer Service

Great product. Just as advertised. The Friendly Swede is a thoughtful and quality vendor. Worth your business.

I don't like this top as much as the mock wrap. The material seems thinner--between that and the style of the seams, it seems more prone to wrinkling. (I'm able to hang the mock wraps right from the dryer without wrinkles.) I feel like it's also less flattering on me--a little wider and baggier. I wish it had adjustable sides like the other, instead of elastic in the back. It's ok, but I wish I didn't get this style.

Question: After a year, it still looks and works great!

My children gave this timepiece to me as a birthday gift in the spring of 2012. Since then, I've worn it almost every day and have found this to be a good, attractive, and functional watch. I have received many compliments on it, one even from a jeweler! The overall look, feel, and quality imply a much more expensive timepiece; kind of like those real expensive Swiss watches that start with an "R" and end in "olex"!

After a year, the sub dials still function as they should. I've had no problems with moisture either despite the watch being exposed to water almost every day. I've worn it while swimming in a pool and in the ocean without issue. I often wear my watch while bathing and showering and this one has never given me a problem.

It says the watch is rated to 200m but there is no screw down crown, a feature found on most diver's watches. I wouldn't dive with it, but I'm not a scuba diver either!

Bottom line: If you want a James Bond look without a James Bond price but durability is important too, this one should be on your list.

I own a $500 crosley record player(all the bells and whistles to record and convert audio) and this is 10 times better. Unlike the Crosley, I can adjust the pitch and tone.  I may not be able to burn a cd with it or convert/record a tape with it but its worth it. Big UP!!

Question: When they say Large, they mean LARGE.

FORGET ZIPLOCK BRAND!!
These are awesome. I put 3 sets of sheets, 4 pillow cases, 2 small kid size blankets, 3 travel pillows, and a body pillow in 1 bag. I thought to myself, this is amazing. THEN, I realized, that wasn't even the largest bag. It was 80cm*120cm. I used the other 80*120 for a FULL size 2" memory foam mattress topper. (Both pictured below.)
And, I still have one that is 100cm*130cm.
They seem to be durable, but only time will tell. I wish there was a thickness listed on the package, but if I had to guess, I would say 4 mil. I use to buy the ones at Dollar Tree. But, those large bags are the size of these small bags. If you need a small bag for long term storage which you won't be opening and closing alot, those are 2-3 mil, and work fine, but, if you want larger sizes, go for the DIBAG.
I have 2 disappointments. First, there is no consistency in size from one bundle to the next. The bags in the 12 pk are completely different than those in the 15 pk, which is different than those in the 20 pks. Second, the small travel bags are roll-up only. This is for traveling when you don't have a vacuum, but I am using them for storage just like the larger ones.

UPDATE: I am still pretty happy, but, it appears that they may leak a little. It's been 6 weeks, When I originally sealed it, the foam mattress topper was very rigid. But, now, while it still looks vacuum sealed, it has a bit of flexibility to it.

Exactly as advertised. Fits snugly and color was perfect.

Question: Bad ankle design!! Disappointed!

I buy King products all the time so I was excited to try these.  Totally disappointed the fit at the ankle is too tight, material way too stiff for the ankle area and digs in as you walk leaving marks needs to be redesigned they're going back!

My cat is 17 pounds (just got her, she's on a diet) and the large fit perfectly. Although I was nervous that the girth wasn't going to fit, It did, and comfortably at that. But if you cat is much bigger, it might not fit comfortably.

Initially, she resisted it - but the nice thing is that this harness goes on head first, and then you can clip the rest around the chest. Which is great because making cats purposefully step into a harness would be some kind of sick joke.

The leash is nice too... but we've yet to try to use it. I'll give it a day or two.

Symphony X has to be one of the most talented and musically thought provoking bands on the planet.  The guitar work is godly (this guy does it all alone?) The lyrics and vocals are nothing less than exceptional and the  bass and drum work are extremely tight.  These guys aren't messing around  with music that is uninspired and lifeless.  This is the stuff.  All  progressive metal fans should be paying homage to one of the more elite  groups still producing the goods today.  I highly recommend ALL of their  cds (if u can find them). I 've also had the chance to listen to some of  the latest offering from Symphony X (V) and I'm speechless.  It never  ends...  Symphony X has set a mark for the rest of the music world to catch  up to.  Good luck!

Question: HBO Iraq (Iraq Freedom) War Series, TV worth watching

Generation Kill Season 1 Series does a great job of Marine personal living under close conditions in the War with Iraq. The various Marines are both colorful in the raw language and raw feelings of being in the Military. The series journey is time well spent as you see the politics of the various main Characters interact (Officers and enlisted, various races) and react to the world around them. Unlike shows before them you get to see the horrors of war and it's effects on the civilians and results, there is no holding back as you can get into the heads of the various Marines having to experience it. The show was filmed in Africa, but has the real feel of having been filmed on location in Iraq. Of all of the  war shows series that have been made this is probably the closest to todays reality yet. Got to go now want to see last episode of Season 1, TV worth watching.

  Finished watching, loved the last few minutes of the ending with a Marine that had been filming during the entires series of the experience on a Sony Hand camera of the Marines experiences. Shows the group of those Marines the many changes of personal values as they view the positive and negative results of their actions. Reminding us that the filter of the experience it is from a personal experience. Not many of the Marines stay to few the whole video as the unfolds with the horror of dead road side bodies, video of exploding bodies from shells, the lawlessness of the Government, destruction of towns in the path. That history can be written and justified to favor the victors no matter what the real out come.

I got Shining in Crimson as a free give away and was immediately interested in the plot after reading the description. Like many of the other reviewers, I love the idea of using really badass, creepy-crawly vampires rather than the more classical versions, a la Underworld or Blade or Twilight.  The one part of Shining in Crimson that really stood out to me was the suspense. The book keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what's around the next corner and keeps this up from beginning to end.  Normally this would be enough for a 4 star. For me, the biggest draw back was the feeling of being told what was happening, rather than being shown.  That could be just my preference (obviously it is to some degree, given the 4 and 5 stars).  I think anyone who is a fan of vampire lore, especially those drawn to the grittier, more horrific vampire lore, will definitely find a nice place for Shining in Crimson in their collection.

Question: Finally a wireless USB system that works!

I have a new PC that is located about 50' from my wireless router, on the same floor of my house as my old PC and wireless router.  I have tried about 4 wireless cards to get my new PC to connect to my wireless network with very limited success and a LOT of frustration and cursing.  I have tried "high end" expensive PCI Express cards and several USB systems, and I could never get more than 3 bars except on the random occasion when I actually got 4 bars.  These units constantly dropped, would not load web pages (Win 7, Firefox) and would take 10+ minutes to upload photos to Flickr, and that is when they worked at all.  I could also view a total of 3 or 4 other wireless networks near my house.  There is nothing more frustrating than having a new screaming computer and not being able to use it to connect to the internet.

But, this appears to be the solution. I bought this USB adapter recently and my PC immediately recognized it, and has found 14 networks near my house!  14!  SOLID 5 bar connectivity!  I am so impressed and relieved that I had to share my discovery with others.  If you are in the same place I was several weeks ago, I'd suggest that this is worth a try. It saved me.

I saw Mouth of the architect open for These Arms are Snakes and they were great. Since I was too poor to buy one of their full lengths I got this one and man it's good. the first song is theirs, and my fav, but I'll have to check out Kenoma as well as pick up Mouth's other cds. Oh and to be a total dumb girl for a minute: Their singer was like sooo cute omigod! There, now that thats out of my system, check this band out cuz they slay and sounded awesome live.

JAP

There are many fine, and varied, reviews of this book, so I will attempt to add value with my two cents of thought. This book is an oddity. The tone, characters and plot belong in a YA novel. The subject matter, at times, does not. (There is explicit sensuality.) It is also difficult to figure out if this is a contemporary fiction piece with hallucinatory elements or more of a fantasy tale. After I was finished I tossed the book over to my (English major) daughter and asked for her thoughts. She skimmed the book (neither one of us found it to be a can't-put-it-down read) and she echoed my thoughts but kind of grooved on the unreliable narrator aspect that causes this confusion. That said, the book is well written and an out of the ordinary read in our cookie cutter fiction world, so I will likely give this author another shot.

Question: THE JEWISH OLYMPICS is a story of a sporting event that has made significant contributions in the battle against anti-Semitism

Bookreporter.com readers are familiar with Ron Kaplan. In addition to being a frequent contributor to the reviews that appear on the site, he is the author of a wonderful compendium of baseball titles, 501 BASEBALL BOOKS FANS MUST READ BEFORE THEY DIE, published in 2013. This year marks the publication of another important sports book by Kaplan, THE JEWISH OLYMPICS. From beginning to end, it is a wonderful story of a sporting event that remains unknown to many, but has produced significant contributions not only in athletic venues but also in the world battle against anti-Semitism.

As a Jewish-American, I have been aware of the Maccabiah Games for many years through newspaper articles and participation of well-known Jewish athletes and lesser-known acquaintances in the Games. But THE JEWISH OLYMPICS places them in a broader context for me, and I am certain that it will do the same for other readers. Just as an opening example, I had always assumed that the Games began sometime after 1948, the year that Israel became a nation, but I was wrong.

The first Maccabiah took place in Palestine in 1932. During that era, more than 150,000 Jewish athletes belonged to sports clubs. Because many nations barred Jews from participating on national teams, Jewish leaders sought an event where the skills of Jewish athletes could be showcased. This marked the birth of the Maccabiah Games, a test to see if the Jews of British-controlled Palestine might someday be able to participate in the Olympics. Eighteen nations took part, including Egypt and Syria. The Egyptians dominated the boxing events, while the U.S. ruled track and field. But the overall winner of the competition was Poland. More than 100,000 spectators attended.

There was a second Maccabiah gathering in 1935, but the Games scheduled for 1938 obviously never came to pass. In 1950, the young nation of Israel welcomed 500 athletes from 20 countries to the third Maccabiah. The Games would now become a regularly scheduled event, held every four years. Unlike the revolving Olympics or other world events, they would always be contested in Israel.

Kaplan chronicles the Games all the way to the 19th Maccabiah held in July 2013. Each chapter notes important games and athletes. In addition, there are longer biographical notes about some of the notable athletes and organizers and the roles they played in bringing to fruition the dream of a world-class stage for Jewish athletes from around the world. Many well-known American athletes, including Mark Spitz, Mitch Gaylord, Danny Schayes, and basketball coaches Larry Brown and Bruce Pearl were participants.

Kaplan also details the political behind-the-scenes battles that were part of the Games. In the early years after the creation of the state of Israel, the communist bloc countries would not allow their Jewish athletes to attend. Of course, Arab nations also boycotted, although in the years before World War II, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon all sent teams to the Games. His poignant recounting of the 1973 Games, held one year after the slaying of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, is a heartfelt reminder of how heartache sometimes accompanies joyful celebrations.

Finally, Kaplan includes a rundown of athletes who have won medals in both the Olympic and Maccabiah Games. It is a list representing many nations and makes clear that the goal of bringing Jewish athletes to the world stage has been accomplished. THE JEWISH OLYMPICS is a fascinating history that goes beyond sports. Jews around the world celebrate and support the Maccabiah Games as a cultural event, where sports and Judaism often coalesce in inspirational ways.

Question: The sound effect is good, I am new to this

just set this up with my Karaoke machine, not sure if it would work in the first place since the device didn't mention about if it is TS Mono on the Audio output, so I was worried that my singing machine would not work with this wireless mic. The receiver has on AUX out, and the wire just connected to my machine, and works right away. The sound effect is good, I am new to this, I learned that the good wireless mics are usually ranged at $180-$250, so for $100 with 2 wireless mic, no interfere with each while singing, pretty long distance for me to walk around signing, I am just very happy with the result.
only thing i would need them to improve, is the way to set up the channel of the mic. I know it is not hard, but for a rookie like me, really hard if there is no specific instruction.

Question: ... had the privilege of knowing Al and I really enjoyed reading his Wit & Wisdom

I had the privilege of knowing Al and I really enjoyed reading his Wit & Wisdom.  I wish more people shared his perspective and values.

Don't get thrown off by the title or that the book was printed 8 years ago.  This book is solid.  In a mere 100 pages, Harnish packs a bevy of practical field management strategies which he brings alive with colorful examples.  In a rapidly changing environment riddled with complexity, this book offers a safe harbor of tactical strategies which will be appreciated by middle management and upper management.  He offers up solid templates, summaries and working tools.  I'll excuse the author's bandwagon jumping (Jim Collins/Good to Great), the final chapter on Bank Financing (which seems to be an odd fit for this book) and for the appendices (which offered limited utility) - - otherwise, this was a well-written and easy reading book offering executable strategies.  The book is organized around 3 sets of fundamentals:

1) Priorities (handful of rules; top 5 and top 1 of 5; repeat yourself a lot; act consistently around rules; have big hairy audacious goal)

2) Data (data is required to be acting consistent with priorities)

3) Rhythm (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly meetings to keep everyone aligned and accountable)

Chapter Headings include:

1)Mastering Growth
2)Mastering the Right People Doing the Right Things

SETTING PRIORITIES
3)Mastering a One-page Strategic Plan
4)Mastering the use of core values
5)Mastering Organizational Alignment and Focus

A fun and entertaining read.  Guaranteed that you will never look at a box of crayons in the same way.

Question: It works really well but I couldn't give it a 5 stars

It works really well but I couldn't give it a 5 stars.  I am using this as my weekly water change on my Crystal Red Shrimp/Plants tank.  Dirty water out, clean water in and life is good until DEAD are everywhere.  On each on/off valve where you can direct water in or out got lubricated with some substance that to allow easy on/off and also prolong the life of the rubber seal.  This lubricated substance follows the clean water back to the tank.  It created a layer of oil/film on the surface of the water.  It was so dense that it traps all my CO2 under the water and nothing can escape.  Well, 18 hours later when I return home from an overtime job I saw DEAD, DEAD, DEAD, all my CRS about 25 or so are gone.  So devastated but who to blame. I still use it but for only emptying the tank.  If you purchase it, you might want to find a way to clean it first.

Question: New Trent Ipad Case - Great Keyboard and Easy Set UP

My Airbender arrived quickly, and I used it straight out of the box.  It arrived partially charged, and the directions recommend charging it fully before first use.  I couldn't wait.  I snapped my ipad into the top case, and was off and running.  I was able to quickly and flawlessly pair with the Bluetooth keyboard.  The keyboard showed right up, and it only took seconds to pair.  The pull out type stand in the back allows for a couple different angles for the ipad.  It is easy to move and adjust.  They keyboard is wonderful.  This Airbender is replacing another Bluetooth wireless keyboard case for my ipad.  My former case I wasn't happy with the keyboard and how crowded it was.  This new keyboard on the Airbender is fantastic. The keys are square not square/oval shaped.  There is plenty of room on the keyboard for your fingers, and  for extended times of typing.  And it is comfortable.  The up/down/across arrow keys allow you to do more work on the keyboard rather than touching the screen....I like that.  It also has all the function keys on the top row.  All the keys seems to be in the same place as a standard keyboard on my laptop.  This Airbender ipad combo makes it into a smaller, more portabe laptop.  It comes with a USB cord for charging on your computer, or other wall charger that accepts a usb plug.  The swivel allows you to use the ipad either horizontal or vertical - either way fitting nicely in the groves to hold it up.  I really like this combination keyboard and case.  And I love the protection that the case provides, and still being very light and not bulky.  I received this Airbender at a reduced price in return for a fair and reliable review based on my experience, which I have provided.

Cost of this product is less that half of a tool truck,  Only disappointment was it says it come with a free 1/2 line disconnect tool, but received a free duplicate of the 3/8

Question: And now the long wait for the next one...

I'm now officially completely in love with the Black London series.  I enjoyed Street Magic immensely and this follow up is equally good, if not better, though it does have a cliffhanger ending that will make it a long and hard wait for the next one in the series. Jack Winter is a blunt, forceful and unapologetic character who fascinates me on a par with Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden. The author's rich writing of Jack's Manchester accent is such that I can hear him in my head when I read, and the development of his complicated relationship with Pete adds further interest to the fast-paced action of the story (there's a demon after Jack, who's bargain has come due).  Excellent, very edgy urban fantasy.

These jeans are fantastic. They have a nice cut to them with a nice tapered cut to them. They are by no means, "Skinny Jeans". Just a nice pair of slim legged jeans.

Question: Highly recommended story of faith, family, and love!

KETURAH is a breathtaking story of sacrifice, forgiveness, trust, and love as three sisters strive to succeed on their sugar plantation in the wild and unpredictable West Indies. These sisters face adventure from the beginning and continue to be challenged every step of the way, finding they must rely on each other, on friends, and on God if they are to survive. Fans of the genre and of this author are sure to love stepping into Keturah's story with much anticipation for the next book in this series! Highly recommended!

I have been meaning to read a book by this author for ages! I actually own several of her books, but haven't gotten to them. I was super excited when I saw this new series from her and grabbed the chance to review. I was quite satisfied that my high expectations were met! I felt the emotions from these characters, particularly Keturah, who is the main character. I could picture their lives, from their English home, to the ship they traveled on, to the island that would become their home. Through it all, the author weaved a story of forgiveness, trust, and romance. Not only did Keturah have to learn to trust others, she also had to learn to trust God and herself. I loved, loved these characters! They really came alive to me. There were so many sweet moments, as well as harrowing ones, moments of sadness, desperation, danger, and then humor and swoon-worthy romance. I also loved that I got to know the other two sisters as I read Keturah's story, and that there is still a bit of suspense lingering at the end of this one... just enough to build my anticipation for the danger and romance ahead for these strong women.

In the end, was it what I wished for? I loved this one from beginning to end! With the flush setting, memorable characters, and engaging plot, what is not to love? I really can't recommend this one enough! I'm happily anticipating the next book in this series.

Content: Some innuendo, violence, attempted rape, and references to abuse and an affair, but in the context of the story.

Question: I love these slippers -- this is my second pair

I love these slippers -- this is my second pair!  They fit like a glove and practically mold to my feet.  They also keep my feet very warm. You shouldn't buy these to wear outside because they have soft soles, but they're great for padding around the house in on a cold day.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book as starting out I did not think I was going to finish it.  I stayed with it and enjoyed the story.

Question: Buyer beware, not worth it even for cheap

Well won't be buying this one again- first the sleeve started to unravel after wearing it once thought I'd fixed it, and then this is how it looked after I washed it. Pretty sure you can't even tell it's a sweater and that's because it literally spilt almost in half up the poorly made seam.

Didn't even finish reading this..I got bored and started another book. Could have been way more interesting...maybe if I stuck it out it would have gotten better but ...eh

Question: Emotional Rollercoaster!

Love's Masquerade is full of fiery passion, enchanted love, and fear of losing both.  It's amazing how Radclyffe is able to take you from one extreme to the next.  Going from erotic pleasure to undeniable sadness and happiness for all the characters in this book.  I loved Auden and Hays and the supporting characters Gayle, Thane, and Abel.  You will not be able to put it down.  I wish we were able to this played out on-screen.  It would make a beautiful movie.

American Battery's warranty is 2-years.  The last set I installed from them lasted exactly 2 years and 2 months bringing the cost of using a UPS to a little more than $4 a month.  This seems a bit high to me.

Es un libro que habla mas de recetas judias que de una explicacion Biblica sobre las fiestas judias. Prefiero un comentario biblico o diccionario biblico que este libro. Es muy pobre encuanto a erudiccion y solo fomenta el judaismo y sus tradiciones.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my new Nike 4.0 Flyknit sneakers. These sneakers are very comfortable...it feels like your walking on a fluffy cloud. I ordered them in the Dark Obsidiann/COPA-WD Purple color and it's totally versatile and goes with a lot of workout outfits. I LOVE how they look with all of my zella leggings.

I received them brand new in box and so far I've received over a dozen compliments.

The seller Blue River Retail had Amazon fulfill the item. The item was delivered on time and exceed my expectations. I am very pleased and will be making future purchases with Blue River Retail.

Question: Good learning experience

Awesome butterfly experience they even gave me 6 caterpillars because one was very small and he looked sick too. good thing because we ended up with 5 butterflies in the end.

It's a great book, but missing one aspect as I see it.  I think you have to account for all three stakeholders involved in eldercare:
1. The elder
2. The caregiver  (family and professionals)
3. Management  those making executive management decisions (could be an administrator or a family council)

Gawande doesn't write much about professional caregivers, who surely must be crucial to making end of life care pleasant.  There was  a story about a nurse who placed a chair over dog poop because she objected to the extra caregiving load brought on by animals being brought in for the Eden Alternative.  Gawande doesnt say much about how the staff of the facility were involved as a labor partner in what seems like a top-down management decision to transform the lifeless nursing home into a "green" alternative.

Gawande writes a lot about innovative managers with ideas about how to transform nursing homes and assisted living facilities, but not enough about the caregivers who must implement the changes.  Maybe more worker ownership and democratic participation in the governance of these  facilities?  Caregivers have needs also -- i.e. families to raise and college savings accounts to fund.

Question: Great Introduction to Solar Power

This book is a great introductory book for someone thinking about taking on a small to medium size solar project. The book starts from fundamentals and does not assume any prior knowledge. It clearly explains theoretical concepts which are required later to help the designer.
For a solar project to be successful a considerable amount of thinking and planning needs to be done up front. The author leads the reader through the design process and discusses the various options that a designer is presented with. Attempting to make decisions without this information could prove to be very expensive making the book a complete bargain. The book uses the example of a vacation house installation to explain how decisions could be made for a particular project.

In addition to the design and installation guidance, the book includes quite a bit of useful data for the US and UK reader.

- Solar Insulation values
- Latitude and Sun height charts
- Typical Power Consumption figures

In conclusion, the book is an excellent purchase for anyone contemplating taking on a solar electricity project. The information is presented clearly and is well organised. It is not intimidating for the beginner but also provides useful reference information for the more experienced.

This is a good cheap case, fits the galaxy S2 well and protects the exterior, not the screen. However it does smell - like previous people have said. It took about a week and a half of use for the smell to go away, now it doesn't smell anymore.

This is a fun activity book.  My son and I enjoyed bringing it to life on the App. The only drawback was the crayons break very easy.  I would gave preferred some extra crayons.

Question: What happened to the colors??

The colors are horrible!  Purple looks brown...the orange looks like rust.  The colors do not match the colors on the game board.
Found a few duplicate questions, and the construction of some of the questions is absurd.  We found ourselves reading the same question over-and-over trying to understand what they are asking.
Still, it does cover the boomer years in great detail and there are a lot of questions to choose from.

Question: ... I want to praise is that this story starts like I like them to - right in the midst ...

The first thing I want to praise is that this story starts like I like them to - right in the midst of something exciting. This is a story written for readers like me; readers who want to be thrown into the fray and feel things right along with the characters. I also love that The Blade itself is a character.

The pacing is fabulous! This is high tension, high action and very dark. I was shocked, and moved, and totally hooked from start to finish. In the end, I was breathless and craved more, so I started book two!

I've actually read this book and have updated my review accordingly. the first time I read the book I found it very slow and meandering compared to the previous installments. However having decided to give it another chance I realized that I was a little hasty in my judgement. The book though not as good as the first three is still beautifully written and the Reek story line in particular is touching. can't help thinking the ending was a bit of a let down but then we do have the next book still to come!

Classic Seuss - gave this book to my 3 year old daughter along with the Janod Circus Story Box for Christmas!

I am pleased with the Oklahoma Atlas and Gazeteer.  The only thing I didn't find is a tiny dead-end road that some friends of ours live on.  It is just not on the map.  But the rest of it is great.  Very detailed, shows water features clearly and parks, too.  We like to go to country garage and yard sales, and this will be a handy thing to have on hand.

Question: Step by step, the noose tightens around the cop's neck

A very intelligent script. Lt Cullen's (Cobb) attempt to cover for her mistress (Wyatt) after she, quasi accidentally, shot her husband backfires when Cullen's rookie younger brother (Dall) shows uncanny deductive abilities.
In a Hitchcokian way, step by step, Cobb watches in horror how his brother ties the loose ends together, more and more pointing the guilt towards him.
As usually in film noirs of the time, improbable coincidences are necessary to render validity to the plot, but the screenwriters cleverly put all the necessary elements to show how the rookie cop uncovers the truth.
Wyatt is pretty but her acting is unconvincing until, perhaps, the very end, while Dall's character is a little too much of a boy scout to stomach, but Cobb is right on the mark.

I love it!!!  I love it!!!  I love it!!  Did I mention I love the iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum cleaning devise!!  I have three inside cats...that means cat hair daily.  I have hardwood floors, tile floors, oriental rugs with fringe on some, downstairs is fully carpeted.  The Roomba 880 cleans all the surfaces and they look like new when the Roomba returns to the home station.  I simply empty the tray of all that has been picked up from the floors and let it self charge for the next cleaning.  This is the most fantabulous product I have ever had for my home.  I really do  love it!!  It cleans everything except steps and furniture...it goes under the beds and furniture;  it cleans around chair legs; it is not loud and I can program it to clean when I am not home on certain days of the week.  My husband is an engineer and he too is impressed with the Roomba.  Everyone should have a iRobot Roomba 880!!  This is like a new maid....mine came from Amazon and you can get yours there also.

Question: Frigidaire refregerator heating kit for cold weather

I had a problem keeping my garage refrigerator running during the winter time. This Frigidaire refrigerator garage kit (actually heating kit) is a heating devise that helping my refrigerator running in the winter time (refrigerator in the outside garage).  Installation was simple (check you-tube), but the manual was slightly complicated and I think that there is an opportunity for the manufacturer to improve the instruction (especially connection instruction).  This will be my second year and so far its working well.

I really like these glasses but time will tell about how durable they actually are. They are very thin and light which could be a good thing, but at the same time I have a feeling they are going to break easily. For that reason I had to deduct 1 star.

I did not receive any discount or offer for this review.

Question: Such a disappointment!

This slide is SO much fun and is awesome when it is inflated and working.  Despite reading all of the reviews and being skeptical, I decided to take my chances.  My kids are young- 4 & 7.  I figured if we were super careful, we would be fine and at least get through the rest of this summer.  I had no unrealistic expectations beyond that...  But nope.  It ripped along on the seam (where you climb up to get on the slide) after only a couple hours of use.  We are all so bummed and disappointed.  Sending back.  And note that it's now under review by Amazon and they are no longer selling directly- this occurred between me ordering 4 days ago and now.

Manhattan Sunday is a photographic diary from 2010 to the present. As the name suggests, the pictures were all taken in Manhattan, in the wee hours of Sunday morning, usually after a night out on the town. If hedonism informs these images, from the bare skin and muscled bodies in many of its portraits, to the disco balls and bottles of poppers in its still lifes, its a sensuality tempered by reflection. The faces are blissed out after eight or ten hours of clubbing. The black and white printing lends a coolness to the scenes, merging day with night, while several long exposures capture the euphoria of the club experience, but also its transience.

Question: finally got  rid of the splenda

very good,  I pretty much stopped using my machine because all the syrups had spenda great to have some normal choices now

I am in love with this little beauty.  The combination of purple AND clovers in one charm?  Awesomeness.  I have quite the charm bead collection but the one type of charm I have more than others is good luck charms - it's my personal *thing* that I collect.  :)  The purple on this charm is a combination of enamel (the larger four leaf clover) and a number of little sparkly zirconias decorating the other clover leaves.  It's a lovely light lilac color.

This charm is made out of sterling silver which means it will hold up well to time.  It may after a year or more need some polishing with a silver cloth - the enamel on charms doesn't necessarily respond as well to the silver clothes as the silver so keep that mind if you need to polish your sterling silver charms at some point.  I collect Pandora, Trollbead, and Chamilia charms and this clover is perfectly sized to add onto my bracelets.  The level of detail and the quality of the design is also a great fit.  I have no problems with the core size on this charm - it works on my Pandora and Troll bracelets (both leather and silver styles.)  This would make a lovely gift for someone who you want to wish good luck to!  It would also, of course, be a lovely gift for yourself.  ;)

I was delighted to receive this charm in exchange for my time trying it out and reviewing it. I read Amazon reviews to determine what products to spend my money on, so I aim for 100% honesty with my assessments - be they good or bad.  I think you will be very happy with this charm if you decide to buy it.  It comes in a sleek little black jewelry box, so great presentation for gifting as well.

Question: I can not believe how smart I am

Omfg, I can not believe how smart I am, I figured this thing out only in 10 mins. Now I get it working in my house.
It seems good for you guys if I could share my own experience here by comment. I just want to help the people who are also confused about how to get this wifi hidden spy camera work.
It is very easy tho. Follow the steps below and you will be fine.

Part 1
1,turn on the power on the back side and press wifi bottom which on the left for 3 seconds to turn it on. The bottom you could find out in the instrution.
2,go to your phone setting to search the camera wifi name start with RT-xxxxxxx which don not have passcode and make it connected.
3,go to the app call camwf which you can download from the app store. wait for a bit until the camera and your cellphone connected.

these 3 steps is to show you how to connect the camera with your phone. This means you can not keep the spy camera and your phone so far away.
from this step, i would like to show you how to connect the camera with your house wifi which means you can go live with the camera. after the camera connect with the house wifi, you can check the camera by the app from anywhere. because it is onine.

Part 2
1,go to the app to make sure the camera and cellphone are connected.
2,enter the app setting to select network setting.
3,get into network setting to search your house wifi.
4,after the camera connecting with your house wifi, you can not find the camera wifi from your phone settings again because the camera wifi was already occupied by the house wifi.
5,then your camera goes live right now, you can check it from anywhere without connecting the wifi with your camera.
6,if you want to quit the house wifi network,you need to press the reset bottom which on the right side on the back for 3 seconds and wait for few seconds for the nose signal.
7,after you reset the camera, you can go to your cellphone wifi setting to search the camera wifi again.

Part 3
we are going to talk about how to record the video to your SD card and copy it to your computer.
1,insert the sd card into the camera, the moment you insert the sd card, the camera start recording immediately.
2,when you finish recording, then you can go to the app setting to check sd card recording, enter full time record to press stop.
3,then you can insert your sd card into computer to check the video.

OKAY,that is the process to make the hidden camera work. it is easy after you fully handle it. I hope my review could be really helpful.
If u are still confused abnout some part of it, please email the seller, they will reply you within 24 hours, I love their service.

Wish you guys a very blessed day!!!

This is a wonderful book not only for parents "explosive" children, but really for all parents. It's like How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk and its sequel Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too with more focus on problem-solving. I use these ideas with ALL my kids, not just the one with special needs. Plan B is the greatest approach and should be taught to all parents and teachers. The sequel Lost at School: Why Our Kids with Behavioral Challenges are Falling Through the Cracks and How We Can Help Them is even better (can you give a 6 star rating for a book?).

Question: ANOTHER DELICIOUS MIX

I love this flavor!  And the little packages are just excellent to bring along on a trip, or to
a place where you can't get a decent cup of coffee or a nice tea.  This is especially true
if you travel and frequent motels!  It's also great to take to friend's homes where you stay
overnight and find out in the AM that they don't drink coffee or tea!

I got this for my daughter for Christmas, and even though it was advertised as arriving after Christmas, it arrived the day before!  I was very pleased.  It is a very classy leather case that fits perfectly.  It is as "waterproof" as leather can be.  I would recommend this product to anyone, but don't expect a cover that will protect your phone if you drop it in water--it won't.  It will protect it from rain (and snow--several days of skiing in the rain and snow wet the cover), and it came through that experience quite well.

Question: Makes excellent grilled chicken

My wife and I recently moved into a new building that doesn't allow us to have a normal grill on our balcony. We were forced into cooking our chicken breasts in a frying pan or baking them in the oven.  Neither option was satisfactory since they generally product rubbery, flavorless chicken.

After a suggestion from a friend I took a chance and bought the Staub cast iron grill pan and I love it.  It is extremely easy to get juicy chicken that is well browned without drying out the skin.  All it takes is a little seasoning and a light brush of olive oil and you're good to go.  If you want to get fancy, you can hammer out the breasts a little in order to make them a more uniform thickness.

One of the great things about cast iron is how well it holds and transfers heat.  This pan doesn't require you to use a high temperature, medium to medium-low works fine as long as you give it about five minutes to pre-heat.

The two complaints I've heard the most about this pan are cleaning and the weight.  So the pan is definitely heavy, but since I don't move it around too much that really doesn't bother me.  As for cleaning, I haven't found it to be that bad.  I've found that the trick is to clean it when it is still warm.  One thing I've had success with is pouring scalding hot water into the pan directly after turning off the heat.  This deglazes the little bits that might have otherwise stuck to the pan, so clean-up becomes a two-three minute job.

For the price, this monitor's a terrific deal. Images look crisp and clear, and connecting it to my Mac laptop was a snap. (Although be warned -- if you're using this with a Mac and a MiniDisplayPort, you'll only get 1920x1080 resolution, not the monitor's full capacity. That's not too much of a problem for me, but it was a bit of an unwelcome surprise. That's Apple's fault, not Dell's.) I have only two minor complaints about this monitor. First, because the backlight adjusts itself based on the amount of white and other colors onscreen, darker scenes -- games, movies, etc. -- can be hard to make out, and no amount of brightness adjustment seems to fix this. Second, the glossy screen compounds this issue by obscuring those dark scenes with reflections of you and the room around you. Neither of these are deal breakers for an otherwise fine piece of equipment, but they're both worth knowing before you buy.

A wonderful read. It lead me to think about all the things in life that we take for granted on a daily basis and how quickly those things can change.  I totally enjoyed this book and can't wait to read Dixie Owens' next work.

My kid loves it but this is quite expensive for a short coloring book. Won't buy again unless price drops to at least half of original price(6.99).

Question: Unique, fun, and dangerous, with a touch of romance...

A Cunning Plan is about a woman whos resorted to staking out (not stalking) her exs new girlfriend in the hopes of figuring out how to get her husband back. Shes pretty much in denial, and its obvious shes going down a desperate path. And then the most unexpected thing knocks her off that path, and shes drawn into the plans of the mysterious and handsome agent, Ethan Cunning.

The description sparked my interest from the start. I was intrigued, hoping this would be what I thought it was, a romance/unlikely-spy thriller. Perhaps with some humor. Perhaps with a good dose of danger. I wasn't disappointed. It had all of that, plus a really believable main character who grows from desperate ex-housewife into confident, self-reliant single mom.

And I think that character arc is what I love the most from this book. Sloanes obviously never been on her own, and shes still not convinced she is. I just wanted to shake her at times and say, Lady, drop him! Hes no good. But, then Ethan and even the target, mmm, and watching her figure it out and make mistakes, and eventually start making fewer of those, until finally, wow, what an awesome turnaround.

I also like how this is a clean read, but still honest and realistic about sex and desire. And, to be honest, I burst into giggles every time she mentions her hoo-has reaction to something. On that note, Id have to say that this feels like a read that women, in particular, would enjoy. The issues, the perspectives, the plot, all of it really. But it isn't mushy, or boring, or full of poignant emotions, or something thats so woman that its sickening. Its unique, fun, and dangerous, with a touch of romance. It simply resonates. Take out the spy stuff, and it feels like Sloane and her family are real. Her girls, her mother, her housekeeper/friend. I love that.

So yes, overall, I loved this book. Its a great read, and I would strongly recommend it to folks who enjoy romance, thrills and a bit of inept sleuthing.

I received a free copy of this book from the author via Lolas Blog Tours so that I could review it on my blog, I read too much!

I love CamelBak products and this is no exception.  The traditional sport bottles often close when I try to drink out of them so I end up not getting very much water when I need it most. The CamelBak sports bottle delivers a lot of water fast. I even find it easier to squeeze than other sports bottles.  I highly recommend the CamelBak Sports Bottle

Question: Not the best on electronics

Have yet to get it to work, but I think it is my inadequacy.  Not the best on electronics....Wish it worked, for wifi does not work out on the sun porch.  Guess the brick wall blocks the signal.

I really enjoy cinnamon products and this is no exception. I'm not bothered by the "hotness" of these and enjoy the taste very much, however, popping these left and right will leave a wax like residue on your teeth. It comes off from brushing but I eat these to prolong the time between meals at work. Eight hour shift with a strange waxy substance on your teeth, no thanks.

Question: Cover is made with poor quality materials and coming apart at the seams.

Updated October 15th 2015~  I bought this futon in February 2015 and set it up at our camp so its had some lite use on it for 6 months now.  We already had to repair a seam that pulled apart on the top corner that pulled apart brand new! I thought maybe I was to rough opening it and pulled the seam a little to hard.  It would have been to inconvenient for us to have to take it apart and package it up for a return at that point.  I will say the frame has held up well, the comfort of the mattress is great so far, however the leather look material is coming apart @@@at the seams literally!!!  The seam between the seat bottom and back where it folds is pulling apart the material is so cheap that anywhere it is stitched it is pulling apart. At this point I am looking for a cover that will replace the original cover.  I am dropping my rating down 1 star because of the cover.  I have also looked at  reviews on just the Epic Furnishings covers as well and it appears seams and stitching are a quality issue as there were many complaints on the subject.  I was thinking of trying another cover not after I read the reviews for Epic covers. Unfortunately because of the cover pulling apart @@@at the seams drops my rating down on this item.  I am very disappointed with the cover pulling apart at the seams! I have only had this for 12 months now... This is poor quality control on materials and workmanship on the cover I should have built my own frame and bought  good futon mattress and cover. Its really a shame because the rest the futon feels solid and appears well built. I really like the look of the futon but they dropped the ball at the 10 yard line with a poorly made cover.

The head set didn't work,  but the guy was super awesome and worked really fast on fixing the problem.
