Question: This album is dedicated to LOVE.

That what it says on the back credits. This album is everything i was hopeing for. Jazzy- hip hop beats with soulful voices to bring out the best in these beats. Freddie is a true talent. He takes you to another world. Far away from all the negativity this world has and takes you to a place where love and peace reign supreme. This album is great to cruise to with your lady, make love to your lady or to just chill and relax. I'm officially a big fan of Freddie's work and i wish their were more artists like him who promote love and good vibes.

Okay, I noticed the Harry Potter parallels right away, just like many other reviewers. But I wanted to give this book a chance on its own so I continued to read it, trying very hard to pretend I hadn't read Harry Potter. I tried to get into the scenes and characters as if this was a fresh new idea.

No luck. For one, the author is the worst at creating "character soup" than any other author I've read. She dumps so many names all through the book that I had a hard time keeping straight who the good guys and bad guys were.

Second, as much as I tried, I just couldn't get past the Harry Potter copying.  Even the girl has a pet cat like Hermione did.

But the worst part had to be the horrible puns and names. The referee (umpire so to speak) is named Olive Umpee. Seriously??
A girl who sings well is named Melody.  Come on.

But the part where I had to put the book down and walk away was when they introduced the song titles: Poppa Was A Stone, and Born to by Styled. Oh my.

As it is, I could not finish the book. I wanted to like it but I just didn't. I will not read any more from this author.

Question: Fun read that will keep your interest.

Fun science fiction with a strong female protagonist. Some interesting concepts. I recommend it!

Once again, Donald L. Robertson has written a wonderful story with compelling characters, great pacing, page-turning suspense,  and a few ingenious surprises.  I've come to look forward to each new book and short story written by this author.  He never disappoints.

I was given an advance copy of this book for purposes of review.

Question: Nice spool caps and stabilizers, but a tight fit on #1+ sewing machine

Simple order process and rapid delivery.  Nice spool caps and stabilizer.  The Large, white, spool caps are too wide for my Brother SE270D cassette, but will work with the External Spool Adapter.  The Small, white spool caps were a good fit for the SE270D thread cassettes.  The inner-hole of both Large and Small white caps is a bit small for my Husqvarna Viking #1+ sewing machine spool pins, but I hope they will loosen safter after some use.  The large, black rubber stabilizers were okay on my #1+, haven't tried them on any other machine yet.  Overall, these are nice and I'd order them again from this seller.

Book two in the Prissy Fox Consignment Store mysteries comes with a large dose of blackmail, broken hearts, humid summer tight spots, and loads of southern charm and humor, as store owner, Reagan Summerside, gets mixed up in another twisted mystery.  Wealthy Waynette is supposed to be marring Simon, but a flash of peach crinolines and a cake knife end with Simon face down in the wedding cake, dead as a door nail. Simon's ex lover, and Reagan's good friend  seems the most likely suspect, but Reagan sets out to prove she's not the murderer.

The cast of characters in this mystery thrills my southern desires.  Reagan is continually fighting to keep her ex from selling her beautiful Victorian home out from under her.  She's completely house poor, with an almost empty house that also houses her consignment shop. Reagan's Aunt Kiki follows southern etiquette right down to her always matching nighty, flowing robe, slippers, and even matching hair cullers. Though hunky lawyer, Walter Boone squeezed everything away from Reagan representing her husband in their divorce settlement, he seems to be always around when Reagan gets into dangerous situations. His connections with the shady 17th Street Gang can definitely come in handy at times too.

This mystery has won my heart and I'm ready to read book three, PEARLS AND POISON!  Any Savannah, Georgia fan should consider these book must reads for brightening up your day!

Question: Not the fanciest, but it does the job.

Easy to put together. Easy to change around to fit your shoes. It's not the most sturdiest shoe rack, but it does the job for the few pairs that my boyfriend and I do own. Definitely stores up to 20 pairs.

This is a great prank tool and can give you hours of fun if you use it right. However, it should be noted that the keyboard setting will type out messages even if you are using your computer or not. You don't have to be typing for it to read out a message. Regardless it's still very fun and will lead to significant panic and worry among your coworkers and friends. I suggest setting it to a very low frequency to get the best results.

My mother loved this phone and she thought it must have cost a lot of money!  It works and it's easy to program!!!  The ring could be a little louder, though...

Question: Not as soft as I expected

I bought this due to the many reviews here. Its got a cool form factor but it's not as soft and comfy as I expected. I tend to use my Crocs and Sanuk more, but honestly they don't look so cool.

See my review of the main piece attaching to the hose nozzle for more info.  I use these for that.

Pros:

 Quick on/off and easy to use
 easy storage in house or sheds
 easy to see how much fertilizer you've dispersed

CONS:

 Not cheap and certainly not a great deal if you have a lot of area to fertilize. Ideal for very small lawns and small plants etc. not for a big yard.

 if you use a lot, you're putting new bottles on the feeder a lot. Not a big con though. Mainly it's price if you use a lot of this. Better off with big jugs or concentrate.

From the fabulous first notes of the album to the finish there isn't a mis-step.  This is her strongest outing to date and that's an amazing thing to say. This is one of the great albums ever.  I haven't heard anything this great since discovering Jake Shimabukuru's Gently Weeps or hearing Tish Hinjosa sing Estrellita.
It doesn't get any better than this...just different.

Don't expect an epic Dickensian masterpiece but a very satisfying experience watching this series.  Better than Mr. Selfridges, in my opinion.

This is awesome I use it every time I bake and even for the eggs. Love this very nice. Great feel and well made.

I love this book. Nina's narrative is not only funny, heartwarming, and easy to relate to - it is extremely informative, full or fascinating and useful nutritional information backed up by well documented research. Most pregnancy books focus on one of a million things that could theoretically go wrong with your pregnancy rather than emphasizing the one thing that you CAN control - your nutrition. That's right - plain old food. Nina explains why your pre-conception, pregnancy, and lactation eating habits can determine if your child has straight or crooked teeth, needs to wear glasses, is prone to asthma and allergies or even his mental abilities. The author teaches without being preachy and relates her own pregnancy story revealing her fears and failings making the story easy and fun to read. Real food, Folks...like your great grandparents ate (back when asthma, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and autism were scarce) and good nutritional advice based on what Nina calls her three guiding priciples, "science, tradition, and a pinch of common sense."

Question: Heavy Duty, Plush and it fits! Good Job Dritz

I have a standard ironing board upon which was stretched a better than average ironing board cover (with included padding, non-removable). The type of cotton material on the cover is essential for my high temperature ironing; mostly pants.  The trouble with that cover is that I had to apply pressure near the narrow end for cargo pants pockets and that flattened that area down to paper thin thickness.  Result of that? The pattern of the ironing board metal was ending up on my clothing.  I stopped immediately and threw a white cotton towel down so that I could finish my ironing.

Then I looked around for a replacement ironing pad.  This Dritz Ironing pad is made of a heavy density fiber, is rectangular and was 6" longer than my board.  I was able to customize it for my board by cutting it 1" larger than the surface of the board on the sides and the narrow end; the wide end doesn't get used, so an extra inch there wouldn't matter.  I was just able to wrestle my existing cover over this pad, holding the padding down at the narrow end to keep it in place and working my way to the other end.

Wow, is it great!  I hope it lasts for at least 3 years and I may be back to update if needed.

Fit good, even the waistband slightly large, but I like a little lose. I am 5'4", 100 pounds, small fit good

Question: She should have stopped with one.

This author was referred to me by a friend and I really enjoyed her first book.  But I have to say, this one, not so much.  I can't seem to get through it.  It starts off very slow, then she has so many story lines going at one time, it's hard to keep track of what is going on.  Not her best work.

These are perfect for just basic gold hoops that go with everything.  They do not look extremely high-end or anything but also do not have a cheap gold shine like a lot of pairs at this price point.  I have only worn them a couple of times but they feel pretty sturdy and unlike the types that fall apart quickly.  When I go to bars and clubs I don't like to wear my real jewelry that I have to worry about, so these are perfect for those kinds of nights out.

Question: ... for Men with Prostate Cancer and the People who Love them, is a wonderful resource for men who ...

Facing the Tiger- A Guide for Men with Prostate Cancer and the People who Love them, is a wonderful resource  for men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Professor Chambers draws on her vast academic experience investigating the supportive care needs of prostate cancer survivors to produce an easy to read accessible book for not only prostate cancer survivors, but the partners, family and health care professionals who care for these men. The personal stories  of prostate cancer survivors in the book, provides a clear insight into the challenges of the prostate cancer journey. This approach gives the reader insight into the challenges of a prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment to mens psyche, masculinity and relationships. As a Prostate Cancer Specialist Nurse, I highly recommend this book to all men and their support person to read. One partner commented that she wished it had been available when her husband was first diagnosed in 2009.

I have used this printer for 3 months and all of a sudden the wireless capability stopped working.  The printer shows all the correct settings and says it is connected but shows up offline on the computer.  Have reset everything possible multiple times and printer will not connect wirelessly.  Have uninstalled HP software and re-installed.  Even reset the whole home network.  Other wireless notebooks and other wireless printer all work fine - only this printer will not work.  In searching for solutions on internet I have found numerous complaints about this same issue since December 2011 - at least 8 months now and still no fix from HP for this issue.  When the printer works, the color docs are beautiful but I have had more problems with this printer in just 3 months than all the other printers I've owned for about 20 years put together.

The other issue I had with this printer is that 1/2" to 3/4" space is added to all my document margins on the left side of every page and doc is cut off on right side of page.  There is no fix for this problem either - seems to be a printer diver issue.

HP Support has no fix for either of these issues and does not seem to be in any hurry to find a solution.  Avoid purchasing this printer until there is a new driver.  Otherwise the wireless feature may fail at any time and document margins change on their own without regard to your software program settings.  If HP could correct those issues, this would be an excellent printer.  Without a driver update, this printer is totally worthless.

Question: Literature at its finest.

Five stars because I can't give it ten. Poetic. A wonderful work of art. Love and war. It doesn't get any better than this.

When I was pregnant with my son in 1981, I gained 105 pounds in the last trimester.  The birth was horrendous and I had a number of traumas from which to heal.
I didn't bother much about weight loss over the years, because most of the diets I knew about involved being hungry, or eating in a way that I didn't like.  I was also too busy to bother.  None of this stopped me from feeling the usual loss of self-esteem and self-hatred that most overweight people feel in our culture.
In 1991, I had seen a psychologist who helped to heal the birth traumas to the point where I was able to start exercising regulary and feeling better about myself, but I still did not tackle the extra weight through diet.
When I got a copy of "Emotional Freedom" in 1999, I decided that my weight might be an issue that the technique would help with since I knew it did not represent a serious trauma, and Dr. Flint warns about starting with serious issues in the book.
As per his instructions, I sorted through the emotions attached to my weight and decided to see what would happen if I worked on my anger, which I felt might be blocking me from action.  I tapped on all the areas indicated, in the order indicated, and went to sleep.
The next day when I woke up, I remembered a diet which I had used years ago as a teenager to lose weight which I had gained on birth control piils.  I decided to give that diet a whirl and lost 40 pounds in 5 months.
I did not need to use Dr. Flint's methods to deal with anything else in this area, but was amazed at how easy it was, after not thinking about diets or weight loss for years, to move on with my life and start losing weight.  My feelings about myself became far more accepting and less negative.
I have since had occasion to use the techniques to deal with anxiety and grief and find them very helpful.  Sometimes it seems to work directly on my feelings, and at other times it seems to remind me of solutions which have worked in the past.
I am very happy to have this book, and very grateful to Dr. Flint.

Question: A marvel of technology that still holds up today.

I'm not sure if you were like me, years ago. Much of my youth was spent waiting on games to slowly get released for the Nintendo 64, and when I heard that there was a Superman game in development, I could hardly contain my excitement (or my bladder)!
It took quite some time before this game was released, but I remember picking up my copy at Toys R Us, running home and immediately having my socks blown off by this incredible, well-made game. The graphics, control and sound are still probably the most impressive thing that were ever accomplished with N64 hardware.
The storyline is one that rivals any video game ever made. You are SUPERMAN and in order to kill your nemesis, Lex Luthor you must complete a realistic flying simulator followed by a jaw - dropping car throw. This must be done repeatedly to ensure he never escapes by car anywhere in the bustling metropolis. The graphics of the city environment are beyond any explanation as far as detail goes, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE REALLY THERE and may have to pause the game periodically because you will start to feel as though reality has been genuinely simulated on your Nintendo.
I can't recommend this game enough. Sixty bucks for this game is a steal.

I love the movie and watching it as a DVD was fine but, unfortunately, the BluRay had a fault and there a blank/silent spot about 3/4 of the way through the film.

China Soul sounds like an imitation of the much better singer, Dido. Nothing unique about her voice & the songs all sounded the same. Was truly disappointed.

We have loved the LeapFrog line of products since my oldest was young. Now, my younger 3 girls are learning and exploring with the great new LeapReader. Since Dora is a beloved character in our home, we knew we needed to add this book to our growing collection. My 4 year old has a speech disorder and being able to hear the words sounded out letter-by-letter has been instrumental in aiding her word development. Plus, as her older sister helps her read through the story of Dora and the Unicorn King, they are both able to build confidence in reading. Such a valuable bridge into early reading skills and a fun way to enhance my daughter's verbal skills.

Question: When I read some of these reviews I ask myself why I was able to enjoy all of these details that nobody else seems to ...

This book is more than about Blanca. It's about Spain--Madrid, the war. The relationship between mentor and student. Giving up one's country forever. The connection Blanca, Daniel and Luis share because of their Spanish origins. And what about the worker marrying the rich, unattractive lady. When the professor as a young man manages to do what he's asked no matter what. He gets the women at the factory to take care of the guys that his mentor is supposed to be attending. How resourceful he is! When I read some of these reviews I ask myself why I was able to enjoy all of these details that nobody else seems to praise or even mention. To be able to write such a novel. I loved it!  If you know Spain, Spaniards, have lived in a foreign country, been thrown into an unexpected situation--so many scenarios the reader can relate to, laugh with. Don't skip this book. You'll be cheating yourself if you do.

First of all it doesn't come with any info on how much cake to make/pour.  It takes like 1 1/2 to 2 boxes.  I only used 1 & 1/2--tried to make smaller--doesn't even show size!

Question: Not bad for the price...

When I received my stools they were not damaged at all but came with very basic picture instructions.  They were easy to piece together requiring no tools but then I could not figure out how to get them to adjust in height.  I googled and still no answer so I started beating down on it and it adjusted.  I was unhappy but satisfied... Well, today the black plastic piece (that is on the piston under the seat) fell off an voila!  They work... Just just a heads up--if you order them, take the black plastic off the piston and your seats will adjust perfectly.  I almost want to put four stars to not deter you from purchasing as they are good for the price but they whole experience of not knowing how to get them to adjust makes it a 3 for me.  I purchased these from Groupon for $20 more :/ didn't even know they were on amazon until I googled for instructions.

This is a nice looking set of earrings. If you are looking for something small and subtle, this should fit the bill. I work in a business setting, and need to follow a business casual dress code.

I do not wear them overnight.

The picture appears to be of very good quality, the paper used seems to be thick photo quality, not the cheap flimsy poster quality paper some other's may sell, which gives it a very clean gloss look.

I have been using Quicken for Mac for years. Unfortunately it has actually been getting worse (more bugs, more anoying features I can't turn off) for the last few years. To add insult to injury Quicken will not support older versions and forces you to upgrade to the crappy new version.

I finally switched to Moneydance. Switching over and getting used to a new software package was a bit of a pain.

Now that I am all set up with Moneydance I love it. It is much simpler and much less buggy (have yet to find a bug) than Quicken. Definitely the best home finance package for Mac.

Question: Maybe the most accurate portrayal of the grizzly that has ever been written

Grizzly Country is a collection of stories of the first hand experiences of a man who lived his entire life in the wilderness with the great bears. It is a realistic view of the grizzly as he really is, not a blood and guts story of how "It's us or them" nor is it a highly emotional story about the plight of the bears, but rather a realistic view of the bear and of his past and future.

Andy Russell is a man who knows the true character of the bear and has a realistic understanding of the dangers and joys of living in bear country. This book is entertaining, very informative and at many times very humorous. The format is wonderful, it is like sitting on the porch and listening to the tales of an old man's lifetime of adventures and it's never dull or boring. From his childhood to his experiences as a hunting guide and wildlife photographer in bear country, you will sense that this is a man who knows what he's talking about.

Whether you are a hunter, an environmentalist or just a lover of the outdoors this is certain to be a wonderful addition to your collection.

Love this the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the ribbon that helps to take the card out comes when there are no cards in it.  Other than that I love this case.  Fits perfectly and is not bulky at all,

Question: Marilyn Hickey is the best teacher...

I love the way Marilyn breaks down and teaches Proverbs. This was an 80's fave study guide and laid the foundation for 30 years of learning the scripture and studying the Word of God.!!!!

My parents gave me this book when I set out to start hiking the Appalachian Trail.  It was my first of his books, and since then, I've read all that I can find of his travel writing. Bryson is at his funniest when describing potential dangers, and his concerns about bear attacks left me gasping for breath.

Anyway, I got about as far as he did before his through-hike turned into a series of short, easily accessed by car, hikes; and my shorter hike was cut much shorter by 9/11.

While many of his descriptions of hikers and local people in the small southern towns near the Trail are brutal to the point of being basically untrue, he remains one of the writers who doesn't try to be Thoreau or to romanticize the experience.

The description of Rainbow Springs Campground in North Carolina had quite a few of the hikers I came across on the Trail curious as to its reality. Well, it is both everything he describes and nothing he describes. The managers actually have the same sense of humor and lack of illusions about their fellow man that he does, but they are also compassionate and do what they can to help long-distance hikers. Like Bryson, they do not suffer fools happily, and at that point in his trip, he and Katz were basically fools.

Good set for children who are starting to read on their own, a little to much for the kindergartener whose just starting reading but we are over acheeivers in our house and she's starting to pick up reading them more.

Philip Fradkin died not long after this book was published, and even though I knew him as one of a handful of the very finest California writers of all time, I feared that this final book might not be quite as good as his former writing.  I couldn't have been more wrong!  And his son's photographs here are exceptionally poignant and illustrative of the textual story... this is just simply a must-have book for anyone who cares about the Golden State.

Stunning & authoritative writing of past and present California, what more could any of us ask?  And as he always did, Fradkin has given us more than our wildest dreams ever expected....the Left Coast, indeed!

Question: Lolita in Peyton Place

This book is absolutely brilliant. It's interesting to see how many of the texts analyzed within all deal with the same subject matter, but the way in which they deal with it makes it high-,middle-, or low-brow. It's changed how I view literature and made me a more thoughtful reader. But the price is a bit much -- I borrowed it from my public library.

Perfect fit.  I am 6'2" with average build but usually have a hard time finding pants that fit like I want them to.  These pants fit exactly how I wanted them to.  Tried a pair on at a local store.  Didn't have the length I needed but could get an idea of the correct size.  Bought a 36" waist and 34" inseam and they are perfect.  Haven't worn other than trying them on so can't comment on performance but I like the feel of the material and plenty of pockets.

Question: My favourite album ever!

Words can't describe what this album means to me. It's kinda like a diary, every song is about something that I have lived and felt on my own skin. And about the music, it's perfectly produced and Christina really sings her heart out in every song. Christina Aguilera is so underestimated and misunderstood, it hurts me to see that a lot of people can't see how great she is. She's not just a powerful voice, she's an extremely intelligent woman who knows how to use the precious gifts God gave to her: her singing and songwriting skills. She's a true artist, she wrote and produced every song on this album (besides "Impossible" - written by Alicia Keys and "Beautiful" - written by Linda Perry) and she sings with so much passion and emotion, she's such a creative performance artist like Madonna and a talented vocalist like Mariah Carey, trust me when I say that she's about to become a Legend, because nobody else is that talented. If some people still think that she's a Teen Idol then they need to open their minds and listen to this album, I still haven't found a single person who disliked it. I actually had the chance to see her when she performed here in Italy and damn, that was the best day of my entire life: she's truly the best. Christina Aguilera.........a woman, a Legend!

They are the smaller size and satisfy with out blowing you waist out...We have enjoyed them for quite some time now.

Question: Very simple, well made, great finish.

Great welds, deep black finish.  These will last a lifetime of abuse in any gym.  I bought them for my home gym, for wrist rolling.  I recommend a using a minimum of a 1/4" stainless spring clip, but more like a 3/8" for ease of use.  Would recommend to anyone!

Don't buy this product. It is too weak and spends more time feeding and trimming the trimmer line than cutting down any weeds. Ryobi makes 99 great products, but a whacker isn't one of them. Needs more time in development as this iteration is a total bust.

Question: Novel outlet/USB charging station

I've seen USB outlets before but this is my first time discovering an outlet expander with USB charging ports with a novel smartphone holder on both sides. This protects your outlets and devices plugged into it from electrical surges and current variations. It's UL listed too. It's got 3 outlets and two USB charging ports equal to 15 amps. The confusing part for me was if the USB ports were 2.4 amps each or total and after reading the box it's 2.4 amps total which means each USB charging port will charge your phone about as fast as its regular charger will (about 1.2 amps) if I'm not mistaken. The novel fold out phone cradles on each side barely fit my iPhone 6s Plus with a slim case on it. So anything smaller like the iPhone 5 or iPhone 6 will fit fine even with a case on it. They will not fit a Galaxy Note or the S 6, etc. Anyway I think it's a cool idea. You simply plug this into an outlet. It has a grounding prong and a stabilization prong so it stays in place. Only use indoors. I use this next to my bed and find it really convienient.

I have received this as a discount or complimentary product in exchange for an unbiased and honest review according to Amazon's Policy. My sampling of products does in no way guarantee a 5 star review. I hope this review has been helpful and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Question: Great Value, Rugid and Powerful Sound

I'm impressed.  My son has the Beats Pill so we have the ability to compare.  The Pill is sized better, or I guess to be more correct - smaller, more appropriate for most uses.  The Pyle on the other hand is built to be slammed around.  A very rigid rubber case and a heavy, sturdy feel.  The sound, while not as full as the Pill, is quite acceptable.  Dollar for dollar a great investment.  I have no concerns choosing the Pyle over the Pill for my purpose.  We camp, fish, hunt, enjoy the outdoors.  This Pyle will easily hang on a belt, tent, boat... and provide hours of enjoyable music.

Very happy with the weight of the plastic and how clear it is.  I like being able to use my favorite tablecloths without worrying about spills.

Question: Worst Computer I've Owned

My pc is only 4 months old.  The hard drive is LOUD when the pc is turned on or awakes from sleep mode late.  That means the bearings on the drive are wearing out and I need to replace it before I lose everything.  I never expected that from a pc that I've had this long.  Good luck if you want to upgrade the video card as you need a bigger power supply that won't fit in this tiny case.  The pc locks up during a simple game of solitaire.  Worst pc I've ever owned!

I work with brain injury clients everyday as an SLP.  It is refreshing to find a new workbook with higher level cognitive tasks.  This book was designed for group work but most tasks can easily be completed individually. Because the book was published in Britain, there are a few funny word uses, but I tell my clients I consider that just an extra layer of problem solving.

Question: The molded one is better!

I bought this as well as the molded one, CDE-24, also by Case Logic.  The molded one more comfortably holds 24 CD's.  That said, this one does work.

The Potter's Studio CLAY & GLAZE  HANDBOOK is a perfect studio handbook; it provides clear answers to basic questions regularly encountered in a ceramic studio . Written to clarify the questions of intermediate level student to production professional it addresses clay and glaze materials, how to test them and how to use them to meet your needs in the studio, how to resolve technical problems and how to create an intelligently organized studio workspace as well as successful and professional studio business.

Jeff Zamek has spent more than 30 years as a ceramics consultant helping people working in ceramic studios from beginners to  those in complex ceramics production factories. He knows the questions we all ask and he has developed clear ways to resolve our problems that are immediately useful.

The extensive use of color photographs and the overall layout of the book make it a pleasure to use and pleasure to scan through to glean those insights we remember learning but wish we could remember when we need them.

This book is our memory bank and a recommended studio companion.

I bought this as I bought a least inexpensive one. This one is great so far. I haven't dropped the phone yet to see if it

screen protection like the Otters.

This is not the Firehouse it looks like. This is some type of obscure variation on the use of the name "Firehouse" as a band name. Don't know where it came from or when but it is not Leverty's band, and that is definately not Snare singing unless it was recording when he was fifteen or something. There is no record of this album ever being recorded by or associated with the band most notably known as "Firehose", regardless of the font on the cover.

Question: Unbelievable Conditions...Evil Personified

The Translator: A Tribesman's Memoir of Darfur
by Daoud Hari

By reading this powerful story by Daoud Hari, you realize that in Darfur horrible things are taking place and the world is choosing to ignore the events.

What is happening in Sudan can not be real; it can only be a fictional story.  How do human beings treat others like this and continue to live with themselves?  Sadly, we learn that this is a way of life for many people and that genocide is going on in Sudan as we speak.

Daoud does not take sides but tries to function in a world that is turned upside down.  You are draw into a surreal environment of killing and total disregard for the value of human life.

I recommend this book to read as a reminder that we must always be on guard against the selfish, the evil and the greedy.

To survive the blows that life can deliver and still come out with your heart filled with love and gratitude, is inspiring. Miss Rawlings honestly conveys the possibilities of overcoming being at the bottom with all its pain. Really a "stick with you" type of  read.

Question: This is very nice when we play outside in the early morning and ...

I leave this on our porch railing so when our porch light is on it "charges" the ball. This is very nice when we play outside in the early morning and it's still somewhat dark or later at night since it glows it easy to see plus if we lose it in the yard during the day we can go out at night and find it easily when it's glowing!

These binoculars are very light, easy to hold and focus. The word papilio is Latin for butterfly, the close focus brings butterflies and other insects as well as flowers so much closer. Good for bird watching too.
There are two types of small Pentax binocular. I definitely recommend the Papilio's over the UCF type, if nature is what you want to see. Lightweight with an incredibly close focus of 1.6 feet, these are a really good professional pair of binoculars that will fit in backpacks and purses.
The case is form fitting and slightly padded to protect the bins. Make sure you thread the lens covers through the strap before attaching it and you will never lose the caps.
Even thought they cost around $25 more than the UCF type, I really recommend them.

Question: A really GOOD book, and not too sad

So nicely done.  Yes, there are sad parts in the story, but generally speaking where in life are we without some hardship or trouble? This story is all about healing, laughter, and striving for light.  The characters feel like old friends. Thank you Carla!  PS Compliments to your editors... they did a good job, no typos, no run-on sentences, just an all-round good book.

before i start the review, i must say buying the wired bundle is not a good deal, it is cheaper to buy the guitar and game separately.

the game, guitar hero 3 is very fun, the game is getting kind of old so it does not have the new type of features like gaining star power while you are already in star power.

about the guitar, it is much better than the les paul, sure the wired guitar is a bit short so it kind of feels like a little kids toy, but the whammy bar is solid and the star power is not screwed up like the les paul, which by the way pressing "back/select" does not even work half the time. on this wired guitar you need to tilt the guitar at a 45 degree angle to go into star power which is perfect. i don't kow if pressing the back button on the xplorer activates star power, but as long as the tilt sensor works fine, it would not really matter to me.

Well the great thing about patience and persistence is that eventually it will pay off big time. As much as I love Lucidity and April Rain, and as good as The Human Contradiction was (it was excellent), with Moonbathers Delain have managed to absolutely improve in every area and in doing so have delivered their best work to date. The key here is maturity  maturity in songwriting, lyrics and sound. I have to say I was a bit worried with the Lunar Prelude EP. Suckerpunch and Turn the Lights Out were over the top pop rock. While great songs, I was worried about what had happened to the gothic metal influence and the theatrical creativity that had defined The Human Contradiction. No worries. Those 2 songs are solid, but everything else here eclipses that lunar prelude. The opening 2 tracks are just absolutely huge! There is plenty of metal crunch, and plenty of catchy Charlotte Wessels power and melody. Alissa White-Gluz (like what album has she not been singing on lately?) once again helps out on the opener Hands of Gold, but The Glory and the Scum may actually top that one with its insightful commentary on the human nature. The Hurricane has that wonderful power ballad vibe with a more commercial appeal, but its topped by the emotive ballad which follows where Charlotte brings a much more mature vocal performance than anything Ive heard from her to date. Yes, Chrysalis brings the tears. The haunting melodies accompanied by piano perfectly define the nature of an essential relationship in jeopardy of dissolution. Delain have never before delivered a song with this much sincere emotion and passion. Beautiful. Of course, this is metal, so the band quickly transitions into the up tempo Fire with Fire, which is probably the heaviest and fastest song on the recording  the drums and guitars carry the weight of the punch while Wessels soars over the top with an almost gaelic vocal delivery. Can you say metal anthem? But there is more. Pendulum and Danse Macabre offer a slightly darker edge but remain catchy and melodic. The latter tune represents yet another standout tune where Wessels experiments further with her lilting vocal outpouring. I don't normally like cover tunes, but I love the interpretation of Queens Scandal  a song which fits well within Delains world of exploring the nature of relationships. Not surpisingly, all of this brilliance closes out with yet another emotionally moving moment with The Monarch, which lyrically feels like a sequel to Chrysalis  The Last Breath. The final words here are a strong sentiment about Delains own metamorphosis  Transform I said and show them how youve grown.

Moonbathers feels like a monumental album for Delain. The mixing and mastering is solid and the songs each stand well alone but the collective is cohesive as well. This music is quite heavy with the exception of the noteworthy ballad tracks. Yes, this could be their heaviest output to date, but it is clearly their most mature work without a doubt. The deluxe packaging is solid and the bonus disc, while pretty typical of what theyve delivered with recent releases, is a nice addition. It is apparent Delain want their fans to know they are a real band (hence all of the live tracks), but the orchestral tracks are always a welcome addition for fans of symphonic metal.

Question: Don't waste time or money on this toaster.

Worst toaster I have ever purchased, for the price. For nearly $100 I expect the toast to at least "toast". Even at the highest setting (7) the bread never darkened. I have used this three times now, and I have to send the bread down a second time trying to get "toast" and all is does is get really dry. My cheap $15 Proctor Silex I bought for my vacation home does a better job! I am going to look into returning it. I had replaced a nearly seven year old Breville, but they had gone up to $179 since last purchase, and I really did not want to spend that much. Not having spring levers is the feature that I prefer, I don't need anything fancy like the bagel and defrost buttons, but this seemed "simple" enough.  But looking inside while in operation, it seemed only half of the elements were even lighting.

I really wanted a toaster made in USA, but apparently they do not exist. I have generally admired the Cuisinart brand, but this is not the standard I expect from them.

I first this CD when travelling in Denver and since then I knew I have to have these songs on my Phone and car. Where should I start: the voice? or the lyrics or the music? The whole combination makes each song a special song. It is  a perfect gift and a must have CD.

Question: Saved my MacBook from a Three Foot Fall onto Concrete

Put this (Red one) on my white MacBook. Left MacBook charging on bookcase 3+ feet above concrete floor.

Not sure if I left it partly hanging over the edge, but during the night one of our cats pushed it off, SMACK onto the concrete floor.

MacAlly case has a small ding where it hit. It flipped off on impact. But the white plastic MacBook was just fine, no cracks, damage, or issues.

Have the same case for a MacBook Pro. Makes that computer cumbersome. But on the MacBook, it actually fits perfectly, and the pebble finish of the shell makes the computer very easy to grasp.

Best $25 I've spent in forever.

Question: When is the next book out?

Every once and a while I read a new release in the erotic genre, and they are usually raunchy with very little plot and/or character development this book was not like that at all. I thought the story itself was very realistic, and the characters were extremely believable. It is definitely for an 18+ reader, and delivers in the sexual scenes as well. I am now intrigued to check out the first book in the series, and look forward to the release of the third book later this year. I will recommend this to friends.

Very good quality.  Much nicer than the wood one I just ordered that came broken in two pieces.  The wood one replaced a wood pole that the wind broke in two, so am going to stay with metal from now on.  Well worth the few extra dollars.

Question: Vivid Imagery and Lyrical Prose

This marvelous book of poetry provides an excellent companion to the books and essays written by Ackerman.  In "Jaguar", Ackerman gives free rein to the lyrical, sensual side of her passionate nature.  Her prose only hints at the ecstasies and explosive joy that consumes this magnificent writer.  As a naturalist, Ackerman is a restless world explorer, one day she might be picking her way through the steamy bowels of the Amazon; the next, she might be dogsledding across Antarctica.  Her poems pay homage to the unremarked beauty of the exotic and the prosaic.  She captures the shattering loveliness of the seemingly desolate polar landscape.  Her poet's eye can observe charm and grace in unusual places.  In "Lines Written in a Pittsburgh Skyscraper" Ackerman evokes startling beauty amidst the urban landscape.  "At night, the red sirens spinning mute across the river converge like pulsars at some accident or crime."  But Ackerman's artistry is not confined to the outdoors.  She also explores the interior landscape of the mind and the heart.  Her imagery is so vivid and precise that it makes the reader feel the experiences with all her senses.  In a "Pilot's Pay" Ackerman describes her lover:  "My love, whose palms are road maps, whose lips are a dragonfly, My love who slays the wolves of inertia..."

I am reading "Travels Through Love and Time," for the second time.  These three novellas show different
times of the protagonist's life.  It literally drags the reader into the story as though you were face to face with
the writer.  These stories show courage and never giving up on love no matter where you are in your life!

Question: I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed w/ this boot!

I am impressed with this product.  Recently ordered a pair of Aerosole boots online that I returned.  These boots cost much less and look better.  Was hoping that they would fit a little more snug on my legs but it might work perfectly w/ leggings or jeans tucked inside. I will probably keep them just because of the good value.  I would recommend this product.

It's hard to imagine so much happening to someone so young. It's as if Taylor lived and entire life in a handful of years. Since I practice Ashtanga yoga I was very interested to find out how the practice transformed Taylor and was the vehicle that brought him back from the edge. I think he does a great job articulating this. I think those of us who practice Ashtanga can relate to the sense of community and belonging you find as part of the practice. And apparently that, at least in Taylor's case, made such a difference in his ability to maintain sobriety. Obviously, I can't assume that's true for all those suffering from addiction, but it was clear in Taylor's case. He takes us through his journey from isolation and disconnectedness to one of fulfilling community and support. I wish that all those suffering from addiction could find what they need to get sober and stay sober.

I wouldnt say that Vanilla is the worst gay film Ive seen last years, but it isn't far from it. The problem stays mainly with the actual filming of the flick. With a great story in hand, the producing and directing resulted very poor, barely touching the thriller it could have been, The plot revolves around a man with homicide potential. Starting by killing an almost willing victim, for which he seemed deeply concerned, he evolves into a frenzy of killing people by hands while making sex. This is poorly developed, until he himself commits suicide. There comes the second part of the story, where the dead maniac is spotted by a sightseeing person, who becomes obsessed  with the murdered and the maniac himself.

The medium length is joined by another  -  A Little comfort to whom it bears no resemblance at all. This is a small French film dealing with the luring a guy has for another, who presently has a girlfriend. Its about the tortures of love not well corresponded, which leads little Arnaud to doing things we don't whether are good or not for him, like smoking, finding a girlfriendAll for the love of Guillaume, whom we have seen in the opening scenes of the film, is easily attired to girls. But the story has some changes and Guillaume, to avoid going to a foster house, finishes by living in Arnauds house. There, hell give him a little comfort which we never know for sure if its a retribution for living with him. Near the end, hopes again flame on Arnaud, in the person of a bright charming chevalier on this bright bicycle, when he finds Arnaud in a camp where he was supposed to be with Guillaume, who left he alone there. Maybe a new chance on love for Arnaud?
The film is very tender, and deserves a 5 for the feelings it aroused on me.

Millers Forge is a significant improvement at less than half the cost. Effective, springs back open on each clip, sharp, and locks safely. I didn't realize there were different sizes available, these are the slimmer size which have worked fine for my 60 lb lab/shepherd mix. Next time (if these ever need to replaced, which is unlikely) I will be getting the thicker pair for ergonomic reasons.

Question: Very cute, on the cheaper side.

This is a very cute little bag. I went with orange with hopes that it would look more like a fox, and it met my expectations. I wouldn't recommend this as an "all the time" bag, as heavy use will definitely cause it to come apart at the seams, but for once in a while use it is bound to get lots of compliments.
The strap is a bit short for a crossbody bag, for a medium-build person like me. On the longest setting it still sits in a slightly awkward place on my body. But overall, it's adorable and I really like it. It came in about a week sooner than expected too.

I'm 5'7" and 165 lbs.

I really enjoy finding clothing that fits my body well. I have developed a tapered upper body and this shirt fits perfectly. It doesn't feel baggy or too tight.

Overall, I really love H2H's clothing. Solid quality and a great fit.

I recommend to read the measuring chart first. From my experience, it's accurate.

Question: Perfect for traveling

I am very happy with this mat.  I took it on a trip recently and it fit perfectly in my carryon bag and hardly took up any space.  It takes a little getting used to as due to it being so thin, it tends to bunch up a bit if you are dragging your feet or anything, but it is minimal.  It grips the ground really well and is a great way to do my yoga while traveling.  I will be taking it on every trip from now on.  Namaste.

I bought this t-shirt in a size medium, usually I wear a size small but based on the reviews I went for the medium. The  medium is cut small and it does shrink a little after washing, but the colors do not fade. For the price I was pleased with the quality and its not a beefy t-shirt . I will definitely rock this item this summer !!!

Question: Lyrical and thought provoking

I don't even own another book of poetry. I swear, I could *eat* some of these poems.  They're precise and emotional, sort of... well, sharply lavish.  (I'm certainly no poet, obviously.)  "Measured extravagance" indeed. I love this collection.

I like the material used to make these. Soft and like a thin spandex feel. Could be warmer but ok for my needs. If you want warmer sleeves, get the knit ones.

Question: ... upgrade from my Canon Rebel xTi and I'm so glad I did

Finally got up enough courage to upgrade from my Canon Rebel xTi and I'm so glad I did. Out of the box the photos are exponentially better. The quality is outstanding. I dabbled in Manual mode and I am shocked at the difference between the two cameras. I feel like I've been using a prehistoric camera for the past 10 years. I cannot say enough good things about the T6i. It is well worth the extra money. I am not a professional so my opinions are not going to include all the indepth language and such. I know just enough to make manual changes and play with the settings to get better payoff. Even on "auto" this camera will handle anything you can photograph. The autofocus in live mode is a pain so I continue to use th viewfinder for photography and just use the live mode for any videos I may want to take. Excellent option for everyone!

I have not even used one container because several of them are cracked. They are still in the box.

Question: good but the spring got stuck 10 minutes after opening it

it looks very good but i got to activate the blade once and now the spring is in the way of the part that locks it in place or it broke the mechanism all together who knows theres no way to open it and fix it yourself so it looks like i'll have to walk around with it out. pretty sturdy other than that and the blade itself is flexible so i don't see myself breaking anything else lol, this was made for people with long fat forearms if you have short and/or skinny forearms its a pain in the balls to adjust correctly.

A wonderful way to stay always "pressed" and neat.  Saves trips to the cleaner and money in the bargain.  Good for all material, safe and reliable.  Simply put pants in the press at bedtime and they're ready in the morning.  (sooner if need be)

Question: New CJ Box is a techno thriller, I loved it!

This book was exciting from beginning to end, difficult to put down, a bit different from some of his past books. ISIS, terrorists, a government takeover, this book really has it all.

Delicious. You know what you are eating since it only has a handful of ingredients.  They run a little small but they make up for it in big taste.

Question: I feel it shod have held up much better and longer than this

My son got this wallet for his Birthday the end of March. It has only been used when he goes out of the house for long periods. He has used it several times the past two months on vacation a church conference and the zipper broke this week. I feel it shod have held up much better and longer than this. It was a nice soft wallet, now ruined

Easy set up, took this out of the box and had this working in about ten minutes. This is my first wireless keyboard. Keyboard is compact, but not cramped, nice feeling keys. Fun color and pairs quite nicely with the Amazon Fire in red.

Question: Mediocre DP still better than 90% of the rest

This second post reunion album dropped like a
stone when it was released. The band cancelled
most of a planned American tour when ticket
sales sagged, due to the plummetting sales
and airplay. Further, the band's chumminess
during the " Perfect Strangers" tour was
deteriorating into "screw me ? screw
you !" yet again. Blackmore hates this
record and has said he wishes the reunion
had ended before DP even entered the studio
for HOBL.
As a DP disc, it's a mediocre offering; Bad
Attitude is the cream of this crop and it's
not as good as most of "PS". The record
suffers from Blackmore's lethargic playing
and Gillian's uncharacteristically lazy lyric
writing. It's no coincidence that nothing from
this disc remained on the band's playlist after
the tour was over. 1993's "Battle Rages On" was a
slight improvement, but with Gillian having been
first thrown out of DP and then invited back, the
interpersonal firefights were a daily occurance and
Blackmore called it a day after a successful European
tour. Forget "HOBL" unless you are a committed DP
completist

got it for my girlfriend as a birthday present, she LOOOOVES it

Question: Two thumbs WAY up for Treasure Hunts!

I am a Passporter Book fan and when I heard the Treasure Hunts book was coming out, I was very excited!!  The book is a great, fun idea and I can't wait to use it in the parks on my next trip!  For someone who is mezmerized by the Imagineers attention to detail, this book is a welcome addition to my Disney book collection!

The first headset's microphone did not work. Amazon sent a replacement headset while arranging for UPS pickup of my the defective headset. It was worth the wait.
Dragon Naturally Speaking includes a headset with the program. Without noise cancellation the microphone needs a very quiet room as well as the microphone volume set as loud as possible. The free headset is difficult for long term wear.
  The Sennheiser PC 31-II more than fulfills the dictation role. Noise cancelling microphone's sensitivity aids my dictation to be picked up at a normal volume in a room with a television on. Sound quality excels for open on-ear ear pads at this price. Music, games, and video are crystal with unexpectedly great responsiveness from full bass to thrilling high range. As others have mentioned, the PC 31-II light comfortable fit allows one to forget the headset is being worn.
  I'm quite pleased with the headset for dictation, playing games or listening music. For the price range, the Sennheiser PC 31-II is hard to beat.

Question: A light, pleasant, often atmospheric read

I'm making an effort to read the books behind the movies I enjoy, especially when I watch the movies more than once, so I finally came to this book, a very small book (about 1/2" thick and seven or so tall) the size of a book of verse.  The story is much bigger, unfolds quite languidly, yet clumsily, especially when it comes to the sex.  Even though it's written by a guy, this is "chick-lit" at its most definitive.  Or perhaps lonely middle aged housewife lit.  The biggest problem I had with it, aside from the clumsy writing of what should have been the steamiest parts of the story, is that the movie is such a more classy rendition of the story, and given Hollywood's proclivity for smut, that's saying a lot.  The movie implies all the passion and pent up desire, yet delivers the sex tenderly, romantically, with respect for the characters so engaged.

If you're one of that seemingly growing population of people who "haven't seen the movie" (almost any movie, ever), "Bridges of Madison County" is about a free lance photographer who happens upon the unfulfilled life of an Italian born Iowa housewife, the very week her husband and teenage kids are at the Illinois State fair showing livestock.  He came to photograph the covered bridges for National Geographic, but in four days he turns both of their lives inside out, in a torrid romance that has no where to go, and then he drives off, in the rain.  And then the piggish locals burned down a couple of the bridges.  (Sorry, that's not in the movie or the book).

What the book increasingly reminded me of was "Like Water For Chocolate" which is also about a thwarted love affair, that of the youngest daughter of an older woman (the product of the woman's own thwarted romantic fling) who is compelled by her mother to care for her, until mama's death.  The voice behind that book is quietly strong, a bit sad, and the whole of the story is infused with her sadness for the young woman, yet describes a desire which occasionally escapes into a passion that catches more than one character by surprise.  Even the cooking, which is the backbone of the narrative, is sensuous.  And then, there's the scene, after a dinner of Quail With Rose Petal Sauce...

"Bridges..." feels like it was written by someone who had read a book like "Like Water For Chocolate" and decided to write one, and couldn't;  at least not well.  The story itself is fantastically told, you feel like you're there, and that it's a hot august day, and that the characters are real.  But, describing a man as a leopard, and repeatedly referring to his body as hard, just doesn't do the job.  And then, when you get to the ending---where the by now deceased mother's letter to her adult children explains the entire affair, the detail is so precise it is hard to imagine any mother, let alone one of two kids who are so utterly unlike her (not nearly as passionate or worldly) saying such things.  One can convey a life long love affair based on four days of erotic passion without having to tell your kids you did it on the very kitchen floor they're standing on...

And then he keeps writing, after the story has ended...  Well, never mind.

It's such a short book, if you've seen the movie and liked it, you probably should read it.  Otherwise, I'd heartily recommend the movie version----you'll get everything the book has to offer, but done by a better story teller.

This is the Rolls Royce of shopping carts at an extremely competitive price. It holds the equivalent of four very full brown grocery bags. I use two wheels for half a load or less then switch to four wheels if my load is heavier or bulkier. Escalators, curbs,  streetcars and trains were not a problem. It looks so much better than those awful wire shopping carts. Purchases are kept discreet and protected from the weather. Every time I use it people ask me where I bought it. The cart is durable and very stylish.

Question: Get this for your Vanity or Bathroom!!

Love this Organizer!!  It's sleek design is a perfect addition on my vanity. I also love how it comes with four compartments instead of only two (2 small and 2 medium sized compartments) as other traditional cotton organizers do. Now I can fit tweezers and lipsticks if I want to.  The main reason why I bought this was so that it could fit my Shiseido cotton squares, which it does perfectly. The little U shaped hole  allows me to grab a cotton square instead of having to remove the lid everything single time.  I loved it so much I bought one for my sister and she loves it just as much as I do! Totally worth the price! You won't be disappointed.

Bought for a gift. arrived in wonderful condition, looks quality. hope it does what it is suppose to do

These earrings are very cute. I had been looking for ones like these for a long time.

I received an ARC of Guarding Her by Lexi Whitlow and am voluntarily reviewing it. I really loved this book. The chemistry between Avery and Maddox was there from the beginning, even though everything seemed to be against them. There was NO cliffhanger (which is big for me) and justice does win out in the end. What a roller coaster ride this author takes us on!  Can't wait to read more of her books!!!

Question: Powerful cd...David Sanchez is a excellent saxman!!!!

David Sanchez is an extraordinary saxophonist puerto rican who has excelled in the last decade as one of the most interesting exponents of the instrument at the global level. In this cd also participates the legendary arranger argentine Carlos Franzetti. A cd that collects beautiful melodies of latin music. "Los Aretes de la Luna"  and "Lamento Borincano" are of an extraordinary musical invoice."Obsesion" is a great tune with a eclectic musical arrangement.
A dinamic production of the saxophone master Brandford Marsalis. Enjoy it!!!

preety cool when looking through them. aalmost like amber lenses just on steriods. a little expensive but deffinitly will sand the test of time. Great for driving as they make lights pop. Im eager to try these bad boys out on the beach as they may make other things pop loll. Good buy!

Question: Took more effort to setup than expected

As others have noted, the nuts that screw into the pieces are not well made, I really had to force mine to get them into the holes. Even though this stand was supposed to be compatible with my Hitachi miter saw, I had to make a base for it. Once I got through all this, the stand worked as advertised. My saw was easily able to slide back and forth along the rails and the end roller/supports worked well.

I quite liked the premise. The MCs were interesting and the plot was intriguing. I was willing to overlook the impossibility of Micahs' past; needing a tardis to complete ( multiple military tours, police officer, marshal, and a year of recovery all completed in ten years). I started being less willing as deep seated mental issues were cured with a kiss. Then the plot twists started coming on like a telenovela on speed. I could barely finish it. I would recommend Rowan Speedwells' Finding Zach as a much better effort.

Question: Decent for the price point

They fit me nicely, as an honest XL. The inner mesh in them is cut nicely so it doesn't creep up on you while you walk or swim in the trunks. Happy to have found them and be able to get them online for my trip.

Very unhappy with these cables.  The double sides connection sounds good in theory, but it makes for a VERY flaky connection and many times the charging stops working due to poor connection.  Will definitely NOT recommend these cables.  For the price, you can get MUCH better cables from Tronsmart, Aukey or Anker.

UPDATE:  By the way, do not be disillusioned by the high number of positive looking reviews for this product.  Just do a search on FakeSpot (make sure to re-analyze) and you will see about half the reviews here are flagged as fake :(

I wear a men's size 10 dress shoe and bought the XL.  My shoes slip in and out of the galoshes easily and consistently.  With all the sloppy weather I only wish I got these sooner.  They are used every day from home to work and back.  They're comfortable and sturdy.  Highly recommend.

This book is about the process of remodelling - hiring a contractor, getting proper permits, writing a contract.  I have done a large remodelling project and having this book would have been helpful.  After reading it I see that I could have done things better. Getting started on the project is a bit nerve wracking.  Finding reliable people to do the project, knowing what they should do in terms of permits and paperwork,  and knowing what should be included in the contract was pretty daunting.  Home Remodeling - What You Don't Know and How It Really Works helps to know should be done. If you read it prior to starting a major project it will help you make the right choices.

Below is the annotated table of content that will give you an idea of what is included in the book.

Chapter 1 - Your Home, Your Money, Your Family.
Prepares you for the emotional roller coaster of a remodel.

Chapter 2 - Deciding to Remodel
Helps you decide what jobs to include in the project

Chapter 3 - Contractors and how to Find One
The author discusses the pluses and minuses of dealing with a single contractor who either works alone or with a helper vs a larger company with a general contractor who organizes a team of people who specialize in a narrow area.  He also has strong opinions about acting as your own general contractor.

The author stresses the importance of getting independent reviews, as the contractor himself is unlikely to provide a reference that would have anything negative to say.  The author mentions Angie's List and Better Business Bureau as sources for independent review.

I found the mention of various red flags useful, such as if the contractor does not want to get a building permit.

Chapter 4 - Building Permits, Historical Commissions, Conservation Commissions, and Zoning Boards
The section on getting permits and getting approvals prepares you for a complicated battle, which you likely to face if you live in densly populated area such as New York, New England, or West Coast.  This section is quite detailed and covers the bulding permits, environmental regulations, wetlands, septic systems, energy codes, zoning requirements, and historic designation.

Chapter 5 - Design and Preparation
If you like being prepared, the chapter about meeting with the designer will give you things to consider before the meeting.

Chapter 6 - Money, Money, Money
The chapter is about the cost of the project, budgeting and how to avoid the budget killing your creativity.

Chapter 7 - Your remodelling contact
This is a very important chapter on what to include in the contract, how to structure payments and milestones.

Chapter 8 - The emotional roller coaster
Things rarely go perfectly from start to end, this chapter is a pep talk to set your expectations that some things are likely not to be perfect and how to handle it.

Chapter 9 - Subcontractors and Tradespeople
How to deal with subcontractors your contractor hires to keep a good relationship with both parties.

Chapter 10 - Your Project is Done. What Now?
Wrap up: reevaluate and learn for the next project

This book combined common sense with a lot of experience about remodelling business.  It can make you big project go smoother and give you confidence that you have done your best to protect your interests.

Question: Great Addition for HDTVs (Includes Comcast Remote Info)

I have a 32" Toshiba with a beautiful screen but smaller than desired audio. It seemed that we were always turning it up to almost maximum for certain movies or TV shows just so we could understand what was being said. The solution was this Visio Sound Bar.

Connected with an optical cable [AmazonBasics Toslink Digital Audio Optical Cable that had the unfortunate connection position of being perpendicular at almost dead center out of the back of the Bar which can be awkward for certain TVs like mine.] the TV was now completely at the mercy of the Bar's own volume/remote control. Ack! Another remote to keep track of. But it with a few tweaks below, you can get both sound control and the bar automatically turned on and controlled with a universal remote.

Fortunately, the Sound Bar can be controlled with a universal remote like a Harmony. But I also wanted it to be controlled using the Comcast universal remote that I like. After doing some searching, here is the set-up procedure and codes for the Comcast remote: (Thanks to Comcast user rmras)

After much research, here is a step-by-step for getting your Vizio Soundbar to work with the Comcast remote using EFC codes (the newer remote with the charcoal grey or the one with the red OK/Select button)

Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 11144 (2 blinks)
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00169 - Vol Up - Should get 2 blinks
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00168 - Vol Down - Should get 2 blinks
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00037 - Mute - Should get 2 blinks
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00165 - Power - Should get 2 blinks
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00164 - Input - Should get 2 blinks

These are optional, I didn't use them:
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00036 - (button to use for TVOL) - Should get 2 blinks
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00101 - (button to use for TSHD) - Should get 2 blinks

You'll want to unlock the volume control and re-lock it to the AUX button to make it a seamless experience. Directions can be found in the Comcast remote user pamphlet on this. But the codes above cannot be found there.

The sound is very good without a sub-woofer and plenty loud enough. The sound is warm and not too "boomy". The size of this Bar for a 32" TV is too long, and its height may block the IR of the TV (raising the TV stand a few inches did the trick for my TV) but it will do nicely as a powerful front-projecting sound system for larger HDTVs.

1/16/12 *UPDATE* from rmras for those of you who have the subwoofer with this bar:

To get the subwoofer volume control to work, try these codes to control the subwoofer if you have one:

Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00105 Sub Down
Aux - Setup (2 blinks) - 994 - Setup - 00040 Sub Up

And of course you'll have to pick a button to assign them to since the Comcast remote doesn't have those buttons. You may have to try a few different buttons, i don't imagine all of the remote buttons are programmable.

If you don't read this book you do yourself a disservice as an American.  My father and uncles all served in combat roles in WW2.  This is one of the best books I have ever read.  Lt. Bonnyman is a true legend and this book brings him to life.  I could not put it down.  This should be a film.
