Question: Aldus Manutius - I Salute You!

2015 was the 500th anniversary of the death of the great Renaissance humanist and scholar Aldus Manutius. The celebrate this anniversary Oak Knoll Press has put out this book. The focus of this book is very much the Greek editions published by the Aldine Press between 1494 and 1515. In all the Aldine put out 61 Greek books in a 20 year period, including first editions of the works of Aristotle, Aristophanes, Dioscorides, Thucydides, Sophocles, Herodotus, Euripides, Lucian, Xenophon, Demosthenes and other Greek oratiors, Plutarch and Plato.

The layout of this book is very simple. The beginning is an account of how Cretan scholars (pages 1 to 38) contributed to the Renaissance (Crete was a colony of Venice and a natural bridge between Italy and the Byzantine Empire). Then there is a long section on the career of Aldus Mannutius and his Greek collaborators (pages 39 to 110). A list of the Greek volumes is included in chronological order (pages 113 to 115). The final section is a description of each individual edition (pages 116 to 241). The best section is the last one as it includes a facsimile page from each edition. Throughout the book are lots of reproductions of fonts, capitals and etching from various books.

This is a really beautiful book. I noticed that it was even printed in Athens which made it even better. As I have an interest in how Greeks preserved their ancient writings and transmitted them to the modern world I found this book fascinating.

Make sure you look at size chart carefully, I plan on ordering another one. It's very soft and breathable.

Question: I think the quality was very good and I installed it without any problem

I think the quality was very good and I installed it without any problem. It works fine. My only problem is that the adhesive is not holding on one corner and I'm still trying to get that to adhere properly.

First Surrender by Katie Reus is a fast paced hot romance that will quickly draw you in and have you glued to the pages!

We meet Sierra, who at 22 is a head chef at Cloud 9, the restaurant at the Serafina Casino in Las Vegas.  Hayden is a former SEAL (and a really hot one!) who is currently working in security at Serafina.

Hayden and Sierra have been really good friends for a year now.  In real life Hayden is her best friend, but in her fantasy life he is her lover.  Sierra is quite sure that Hayden doesn't feel the same way, so she carries on with the friendship, keeping her feelings silent.  Hayden has wanted Sierra for almost as long as he's known her...but also convinced she sees him as nothing more than a friend, he's done a pretty good job of keeping his attraction hidden.

When Sierra is attacked by an unknown assailant though, there is no longer any holding back.  Sierra is shocked to find out Hayden feels the same way about her, and the passion between them will ignite the pages of First Surrender.  As much as Hayden is determined to protect Sierra, they are both determined to be together now.  Hayden is a complete alpha male, big and strong, dominant, and completely in love with Sierra.  He is everything Sierra wants.  Sierra is very mature for her age, independent, and despite her lack of experience, very passionate when she's with the right person!

As friendship turns to much more, can Hayden keep Sierra safe until he attacker is found so they can have their future together?

Katie gives us a great introduction to her new series The Serafina: Sin City with First Surrender.  Her descriptions of the characters are very lifelike, the feelings real, and the passionate journey Sierra and Hayden are on is captivating!  The novella length of First Surrender is perfect as an introduction to the series and for Hayden and Sierra's story.

I'd highly recommend First Surrender to any romance reader who likes it hot and suspenseful!

Question: This is a good powerfully fan

This is a good powerfully fan. The comments are correct there is little difference between low and high. The fan creates a lot of noise but it also creates a like of wind and does a good job moving air. We use it as an exhaust fan and it does a good job.

Truely epic novel of love and sacrifice.  The story of true love and what your willing to sacrifice for it. Loved this book!  I cried, I laughed, I prayed, and I even found myself holding my breath once or twice.  You must read this book, it will touch your soul!

Question: Durable and easy to clean!

My family has severe food allergies and it's hard finding special treats that my kids can enjoy without worrying there might be some mysterious ingredient thrown in there.  This candy mold is just what I've been searching for! The bears are so cute and the dropper made filling the cavities very easy and mess free.  Great product!

I had to return the watch because the person who wanted, changed his mind. I received a super service from Polar Electro Inc. Thank you.

Great cover. I live in an area with high winds and have had no problems with the cover blowing off. Make sure to attach the anchor straps to whatever it is you're covering. I also bought the "general purpose" cover from this same manufacturer. Both work great!

I didn't give it a five only for the fact I was given the impression this was more of a swim outfit. Note to self ...sunsuits doesn't not mean swimsuit.

Question: inexpensive replacement

Laser printers are cool, but toner is so expensive upfront. The amount of pages you get versus inkjet are incredible, but that doesn't make it an easy pill to swallow when you are broke and need toner and a genuine HP cartridge is $80. I purchased this one to try to go the 'cheap' route. So far it is fine at full quality, but drafts are not so hot. I will see how long it actually lasts at full quality, but even if it's only half as long as an HP cartridge, I will still save plenty of money in the long run. $20 delivered to my door is something I can live with.

I ordered two of these, they came in a timely manner. However the quality isn't great (what can you expect for only a few dollars each). They both came in wrapped in Styrofoam packaging but both were all scratched up. They also had a sticker on each that did not peel off nicely leaving the glue. They will work for their purpose though, which is holding my large collection of studs.

Question: Cinematic writing and a sympathetic heroine

When a high-profile San Francisco prosecutor drives her powerful BMW off an overpass, killing herself and the passengers of a shuttle van, the police ask forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett to look into this latest in a series of high-profile murder-suicides.

Beckett, a loner, haunted by longing for her dead husband, isn't used to tight timetables. She investigates dead people, carefully weighing all the evidence to determine suicide or murder. But SFPD Lt. Amy Tang has given Beckett 48 hours. According to the pattern, that's when the next death is due.

They soon uncover a link - the Dirty Secrets Club. What it is and who belongs though - these are secrets that will take them all over the city, currently undergoing a series of unsettling earthquakes, and make Jo a target. Gardiner switches point of view, mostly between Beckett and the killer and his accomplice, building suspense and giving the reader access to the killer's plans and motivations.

But Gardiner skillfully keeps plenty of balls in the air, right down through the long, final, peril-stoked, San Francisco chase. Beckett is an engaging protagonist and the well-paced accelerating plot and cinematic writing bodes well for this U.S. hardcover debut.

Gardiner, though a California native, lives in Britain where she has published a number of thrillers featuring California journalist Evan Delaney, now appearing in the U.S. in paperback, thanks at least in part to the enthusiasm of Stephen King who called her "the next suspense superstar" in a recent review. Readers will welcome the chance to decide for themselves.

I've been wearing a Casio, solar-powered atomic watch for three years already: Casio Men's GW1400DA-4AV G-Shock Atomic Solar Watch. When this one showed up on a Black Friday deal, I decided that one of our kids should have it. All I can say is that we are quite happy with our purchase.

What I like the most about a watch like this is that, once set, it becomes almost completely maintenance-free. You will never have to worry about replacing batteries or adjusting the time. That happened to be the case with my old Waveceptor. The watch comes with a manual that describes all functions and features in detail in both English and Spanish.

Briefly, this is what you get:

- Constantly sync'ed with an atomic clock in Colorado broadcasting the official US time so it's always accurate within 1/100 of a second IF it can sync successfully.
- Optionally it can get sync with atomic clocks in Japan or England, if you happen to be in the area.
- Charges itself from 'light'. 5 minutes in the sunlight daily is all that's needed for the watch to work forever. Alternatively, any exposure to light will charge the battery a little but if all you have is fluorescent light then you will need up to 8 hours of exposure.
- Shows time in a number of world cities.
- Auto-adjust for DST for most cities.
- Stopwatch for up to 1000 hours.
- Countdown function.
- 5 (five) separate alarms.
- Illuminated face.
- Allows for manual setting of time if needed.
- Water resistant up to 100m - you can wear it while snorkeling but it's not recommended for scuba diving.
- All digital.
- Light weight.

The watch comes with a 1 year warranty but they do not cover damages caused by abuse, neglect or fire. You will also need some proof of purchase.

My kid loves it so it's a 5-star.

Question: Atticus Fish is a BLAST

I enjoy reading the exploits and adventures of Atticus, he has the freedom to do and say whatever he thinks, so I believe that is a main source of enjoyment to the readers.  How I'd love to be able to do that.  I am an avid reader and find the author has a nice way of developing his story line, fast reading, and funny often.

Would love to get them all!  This one is definitely girly, but they have many books, some for boys, some unisex ones.  They are all unique and I recommend each one of them!!!

Great for long car rides, church, etc. ... when kids need to be quiet.

Question: Not as great as the first book

Where as the first book followed our hero Simon on his journey, this second book follows a larger number of characters and develops the greater plot. I was looking forward to reading more of Simons story so for me this second book was a bit of a disappointment .

What I've been looking for, and for quite a while: a modern SMALL headed driver. I'm a 8 handicap, and I've found this to be as workable as my XR Pro 3 wood, that I've been using on the tee, when set to 11 degrees and a neutral lie. Gained 10-15yards. Only wish I could get a modern 235cc head in 8 or 9 degrees.

Question: Excellent Pictorial - Historical Overview

FIREARMS includes a detailed historical overview of firearms from the medieval period to the present day, along with entries on individual weapons, and technical spreads explaining how weapons work.
Each weapon is accompanied by a photograph or illustration and full specification. The photographs are worth the price of the book alone.. beautiful work.
Includes 350 weapons divided into 5 sections: handguns, muskets and rifles, sub-machine guns, machine guns and shotguns.
This book gives a good overview with great photos of some of the most important firearms from the beginning through today. I really enjoyed the read.

If I could give it zero stars I would it didn't even come with A  Rock

Question: "All true stories, if continued far enough, end in death"

Hadley Richardson was 29 years old when she met Ernest Hemingway. She had lived a protected, circumscribed life, sheltered by her mother, who believed that she was too delicate for physical activity, and too emotionally fragile to socialize outside of her immediate family and friends. But in 1920 her mother was newly dead. Mr. Hemingway was a man whose irrepressible life force constituted the antithesis of her careful past. He was energetic, adventurous and anonymous, desperate to make his mark as a writer. They quickly married and moved to Paris.

In Paris they struggled, but Hadley found her own voice, becoming an independent adult, free from her role as the family invalid. Hemingway wrestled with depression and self doubt as he labored to establish himself among the great authors of the day. Ernest would later say that these were the happiest years of his life, but his unrelenting infidelity led to their break up. After the divorce, Hadley saw Earnest only once.

Paula McLain has filled in the blanks of Hadley's early life, bringing to the reader a character who is at once vibrant and believable. Although we don't know much about her actual life, McLain draws a fully developed character. She is believable, approachable and familiar. The story is told by Hadley, in the first person, but others are well described, including  F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas, Gerald and Sara Murphy, and Ezra Pound. Ernest is  the most interesting, a living breathing self contradiction, a mix of little boy bravado, ruthless ambition, pathetic self doubt, and scornful  disdain for people who had more than he did, even though he had more than most.

The story centers on the couple's years based in Europe, as part of the circle of writers and artists who came to be known as the lost generation. Hadley gets to know all of these various artists, lives their life of excess and aimlessness, without ever truly fitting in. Ernest writes The Sun Also Rises during this time, as well as a short novel mocking his mentor Sherwood Anderson, The Torrents of Spring. He writes about his personal experiences, the stories of their bohemian lives, although he tells Hadley "I really mean don't ever live this way, like these poor lost savages." They may have been a group of self indulgent hypocrites, but this is a good story, and Paula McLain has told it well. Her writing is sure and adept, her sentences direct and unadorned, her novel a skillful invention that never lags or disappoints. As a work of historical fiction, this is highly recommended.

I bought this book as my own family was also Jewish and from Kisvarda. It did not fail in its ability to bring me back in time and to give me a feel on how my own family might have lived and cooked pre-Holocaust..... Thank you for sharing your memories and recipes with me.

Question: 3 month review of Neato Botvac 80.

Purchased this as refurbished.  I had reservations about how well a robotic vacuum would perform.  I did some research on the more popular models - but they did not seem to meet the needs of my household.  I wanted one that would do the whole first floor.  This cleaner does that - it maps out each section of the house and vacuums it in rows, maneuvers around objects and re scans.  It is low profile, so it can get under chairs, furniture, etc.  I read reviews about the battery, but so far, this one seems to be holding up pretty well 3 months after purchase. This may be due to the first floor of our house being all tile.  I've been downstairs while it's run, and it does the entire 1500 sqft space on a single charge.  You do have to make sure the floor is free of cords, drapes, etc, bc it will suck them up and get caught.  If it doesn't move, or is unable to move, it will sound an alarm and then just shut down.  However, the only time I've found it in this state was when it backed itself into a tight spot and couldn't maneuver it out - that's only happened twice.  Overall, I would say we are very pleased with the performance of the BotVac 80 and would without hesitation buy another one.

I'm often hesitant to read an author that I'm unfamiliar with but came across an excerpt from "Forbidden Touch" and was tempted.  That was my first Shelly Thatcher experience and I'm now eagerly making my way through the "Stolen Bride Series".  Timeless captivates from the start.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

This makes it so much easier for us to find each other. Two story house with finished basement. We even take it outside on the deck in case grandma needs something while we are outside. Will get another set. No more yelling!

Question: Little light so very bright

I ordered  this  item  in pink  camouflage  design. It is super  cute. First  of all the design  is clear and defined. This flashlight  can fit in the palm of my hand. I put the batteries  in and was amazed  at how bright  it was for its size. I have decided  to use it for an upcoming  camping  trip...can't  wait. I received  this  product  for  free  in  exchange  for  an  honest  review . And honestly  this is a great  product!

Got this bag to take to Disneyland and it worked perfect.  It had so much space and so many compartments, I was able to fit everything I wanted to take on rides with me.  We had a day that it rained, and went on a couple rides that we got wet on and I never had to worry about my valuables getting wet.  The bag did smell a little bit when it arrived, but went away quickly.

This is a nice large sign, and I like it.  The only thing is that the wood is a lot more blond in color.  I would have liked the wood to be a more natural wood color, like it shows in the picture, on my monitor at least, but other than that, it is great.

I now have a few items from the Strathwood Falkner group. This table is great for the price. The only thing to keep in mind is that it isn't actually black as it's named. It's more of a dark brown/gray. Other than that it's great!

I do love this however I would only give it 4 STARS for setup.  This is why... I could not get the wifi to work & had to go to wansview.com & look under support & FAQs to find this.  "The camera is only available to 2.4G WIFI instead of 5G wifi. Please check WIFI frequency of the WIFI router".  I was trying to connect under 5G wireless not realizing I had to change to 2G.  Other than that minor speedbump, it is perfect.

It is like being walking barefoot in a world made entirely out of yoga matts. I love them. I hope they last forever and if they don't I will get an other pair of a different color.

Question: Displays Green, white and pink lines

The picture quality is great most of the times when I use this cable. But after playing for some time (20 mins to 2hrs) there are green, pink and white lines that appear on the TV and the picture is not visible at all. I had to restart my TV and the picture comes up good again. My old HDMI cable never did this. At first I thought it is an issue with my TV (new Sony Bravia z series 46"). But after talking to the Sony personnal and the DISH network they said it could be the issue with the HDMI cable. hmn..I am not happy with the cable.

Worked great to replace the power supply for my Sprint Airave, I've had two of the original power supplies fail on me.

Question: Loved this YA zombie apocalypse read!

Loved this YA zombie apocalypse read!  This is actually the first time I've read a zombie book, I'm normally a vampire, witch or alien reader when it comes to the paranormal stuff.  I have to say, I really enjoyed it, finishing over a few hours.  It is solidly YA, and you get that great teen high school drama going which the characters eventually overcome as they have to work together to stay alive.

Speaking of the characters...I liked seeing Donna change from a scared, "save myself first" person to someone willing to fight to save those people she cares about (and some she doesn't, at least not at first).  Gretchen was one of those characters you just want to smack, so I was fine with how she ended up.  Loved seeing Veronica evolve into a leader.  Liam...well, all I can say is I hope things turn out for the best at some point in their world as I kinda think he deserves a good ending.  And Deke, well-I wish I had one of him when I was in high school ;-)

The story keeps you interested and involved the whole time you're reading and I had to force myself to put it down at 2am the first night I started reading it so I could get some sleep...only to grab it right back up again the next day.  If you're looking for a zombie read in the YA books, this is a great choice-I'd probably recommend it a best for late middle thru high school ages.  I'm looking forward to more stories set in this world.

I like the fact that the glasses wrap around to protect all areas of the eye. Also that they filter out both UVA and UVB rays. The only negative is that they feel a little lop-sided; the stem on the left rubs against the top of my ear and is irritating. Other than that, they've met my expectations.

Question: I love how they write and how long they last

I literally do not write with any other pens than these.  I currently have four sets of this box set of assorted colors - one for my backpack, home office, work, and living room.  I love how they write and how long they last.  I would recommend them to everyone!

Quality-  5  No visible defects, print and design look good, no seem degradation after 7 months of continuous use
Durability-5  Used 3-4 days a week for 7 months for a crossfit style workout with no breakdown whatsoever
Design-  5  Ideal for abdominal core style activities such as crunches, flutter kicks, V ups, bicycle kicks, etc... Also great for headstand push ups
  or static holds as a reference point, and especially for when you fail at the end!!
Service- N/A  No reason to contact them so far.
Value-  5  Best buy for the price that I was able to find at time of purchase. I seek out quality and durability fora a good price for my training
  equipment that I buy to last for years. Style is a much lesser factor to me for this kind of purchase, but it does have a skull and
  crossbones that looks pretty cool and it reads, "Survival and Cross."

Comments:  This item has a great footprint and actually fits in medium size gym bag when folded albeit a little cramped. Having this and a good
  mat to work with are essential for training on hard surfaces for all serious athletes. There is little if any benefit to putting most of your
  body weight on the point of your tailbone while the potential injury to soft tissue and back tweaks are likely going to set your training
  back at some point, not to mention that falling on one's head when doing inverted maneuvers like hand stand push ups or static
  holds never made anyone smarter or tougher ever.

The puzzles are fine.  The problem I have is that the grid is at the top of the page with the clues at the bottom and left side.  It was also printed close to the binding.  The grid gets lost in the binding after you have gone in a ways.

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/C1a7IgK-cMS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71y7g206MHS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> If you are weary from the routine-oriented Christian path, it is perhaps because you have yet to experience the true miracle of a close connection with God, an understanding of what He has ready for you in this moment and on this earth. It is possible, of course, to move from one day to the next simply going through the motions of Christianity, which would necessarily involve prayer, service attendance, and generosity. But does that yield any degree of fulfillment when it comes to knowing God and experience Him personally and on a daily basis. Lysa TerKeurst's newest book, Becoming More Than A Good Bible Study Girl, is offered as a retreat from this manner of Christian living and offers insight into the ways in which we personally can develop a closer and more intimate connection with the Lord. Based upon her personal experience, the book seeks to inform readers of there true potential as Christians. TerKeurst highlights points that provide you with an outlet for growth and transformation on many levels. It may be what God has in store for you anyway. TerKeurst is a recognizable figure in the Christian community. Not only is she an accomplished an award-winning author of faith-based works, but she is also the president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and co-host of its national radio program, which has hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Becoming More Than A Good Bible Study Girl will be an excellent reading for anyone who wishes to expand their understanding of what it means to be truly Christian or for readers who seek answers to the questions of God's reason for placing you on this planet. It is a truly engaging read that will bring you into a deeper and more meaningful awareness of God's plan for you.

Question: I'm loving these headphones  Bluetooth doesn't sound as good as wired but the noise canceling is amazing

I'm loving these headphones  Bluetooth doesn't sound as good as wired but the noise canceling is amazing, and not being tethered is very convenient. The headphones can connect to two devices simultaneously so I can use them while I work on my computer and still accept calls from my phone. These battery life on these headphones is also very good. I've been able to get about 20 hours out of a single charge. Highly recommended if noise cancelling and convenience are your priorities.

I  have several of these in different keys.  I also have several Manji harps as well as several Promasters and several Crossovers.  Here's my take on how they stack up.  The 1847's are larger than the others and also have the "largest" tone...they are slightly louder than the others.  Stainless reeds are more difficult to gap or tune, and I'm not sure that they really are any more durable than those from Suzuki or Hohner.  The 1847 does have a really nice sound to it, and you can tell that Seydel put some money into it.  The reed-plate screws are self-tappers and will strip out if you're not careful, or if you remove them too many times.  Promasters have a look and feel to them, that makes you think they should cost a lot more (construction is very similar to the Meisterklasse, but cost about half as much).  They also play well.  manjis also play well and have a slightly darker tone, but the coverplates bend easily.  Crossovers have the fastest, most sensitive response of any harp I've ever played.  It is also the first harmonica that I was able to play really well.  They have a tone that is "brighter" than the others, I like that tone, some may not.

Question: Fit nothing like the photo example

Not true to size.. Small fit. My husband likes things that fit nicely, not baggy at all but these are ridiculously tight. We will be trying the loose fit.
My husband is a 32/30 and ordered the relaxed fit. He can't even squat due to tightness in the legs.

This book was inspiring and intriguing as I followed this strong and determined heroine on this journey of finding something that was assumed to be lost for ever. I felt like I was tagging along on this journey with Savannah as she fought to learn the tragic truths of what happened a whole decade ago. The author captures our attention throughout the novel and doesn't let go until the very end. Throughout the story, we are constantly reminded of an important quote, which is "be not afraid." We must never be afraid to face our hardships and know that we are never truly alone when it comes to tackling and facing our challenges. I enjoyed the emotional journey I was taken on throughout this story.

Question: Your life will be better

This book is a necessity for adults with ADD or ADHD.  Very helpful for every day living.  I intend on reading it again!

I really love this fold up blanket.  I got it so my friends babies would have a place I knew was clean enough for their sensitive little bodies and that was easy for me to clean after any messes.  This blanket delivered.  And it was cute doing it!

At roughly 6  ft by 5 ft, this mat covers a surprisingly large amount of area for a blanket that can be then folded up so compactly.  It folds up so slimly, I can store it just about anywhere.  It's about a foot across but only an inch or so thick.  And really flexible so it fits easily into my closet for whenever I need it.

The design is really nice too.  We got the blue one and I didn't expect the design on it to be so attractive to little eyes!  My friends little ones just keep tracing the flower outlines.  It made tummy time a little easier too.  An unexpected bonus!

But I think my favorite thing is how EASY it is to clean this mat!  It's already been puked on and spit on a number of times.  Juices have been spilled and snacks have been crumbled all over this mat, but you couldn't tell it!  I literally just gave the mat a couple wipes and it looks good as new!

Now, I wouldn't use anything sharp on it.  I'm sure it would tear relatively easily, but if taken care of, I can see this mat lasting a really long time.  We are happy with this addition to our kids protective arsenal and hope you will be as well!

*Disclaimer: I received a discounted copy of this product for my honest and unbiased feedback. I do not review anything I wouldn't trust to use on myself or around my family. My analysis is based on actual use and with the interests of the customer being my primary concern. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I'll keep this simple. This bladder sweats like crazy and leaks from the lid bad when any pressure is put to it like say in a hydration pack or backpack that accepts bladders.

I am returning it and buying something else.

Earth is no longer the sole planet of man, and with all the new advances in travel, visiting other planets is an everyday occurrence.

I quickly became engrossed in the story as Selena and two other revolutionaries attempt an assassination on the wicked queen of their planet Capulet. They almost make it but are stopped by some sort of chemical that makes it impossible to enter the door to the queen's chamber.

Selena and her accomplices face trial and are forced to choose death or servitude in a penal training camp that is actually part of the armed service. This branch of the corps is so ruthless some chose death instead of continuing through even though when/if they finish their twenty-five year service they will be pardoned from their crimes.

I'm mesmerized as the plot continues; it's intriguing and keeps me guessing. There are a few R rated parts that gave pause but not enough to make me stop reading. I wanted to know what was going to happen.

There comes a time when Selena choses promotion for her fierce and powerful service over being released.  She is called upon to head a secret mission, and so she and a crew of equals and misfits set off on a ship of all ships to take out the planet that seeks to destroy millions of innocent lives.

The only part I questioned, as I'm not a reader of horror, was the low life of one of the characters. I begin my reviews with a 5 star and deduct what seems out of my own personal needs as a reader. If possible I would take away  a point for the evil Za'an - what a creepy, creepy, evil man.  I'm not sure why he was put on the mission.

I must add that the story is set up for a very interesting sequel.

Question: It can't get more comprehensive and accessible than this

I read this book in manuscript form as a former high school counselor, current admission officer at a selective liberal arts college, and as a father of four whom I've shepherded through the college process. I have to admit to more than a little cynicism about college guides as so many folks have jumped on the college advice bandwagon. ADMISSION MATTERS made me question my cynicism: It is so thorough and up to date that this is the only guide one needs to understand all the basic info and nuanced info involved in college admission. I'm hard to impress but I'm impressed with ADMISSION MATTERS.

Shipped timely.  Product poor quality, quit after 10 min.  Will not buy from Speedy Inks again

Question: Great replacement for Tungsten and CFL -

This is a new generation of space lighting.  I am an early adopter and tried a lot of prior generation LED lamps.  The last bulbs I bought are not as bright and have an annoying 3/4 second delay from switch on to light.

These bulbs replace tungsten bulbs in my shop.  I have 8 of them to cover 180 square feet - way more than I need. Fortunately they are on two circuits and I rarely have both on.

The color tends towards daylight versus the warmer tungsten bulbs.  But in a work space, such as a shop or kitchen, that is my preference.

One of the nice side effects is that they produce far less heat because of way better efficiency and l way less current.  For my small space that means that the room doesn't get as hot.

I haven't tried the dimming feature yet, but I do trust Honneywell to do things right.  I will be adding a dimmer.  I probably should have purchased lower output bulbs.

So... Whiter light, more of it, less heat and way less electricity.  I'm not moving, so these should last longer than I do!

I really like this product. I bought 2 additional units after the first one was a household hit with felines and humans alike! The use of this litter system has significantly cut down on dust from kitty litter. The pads are way more absorbent than I imagined they would be.

The only problem is:  Availability of the litter pellets! They never seem to be in stock on Amazon.  I checked at a local retailer where they sell the system and they were out of the pellets as well.  The pellets seem to be almost indestructable and seem to last longer than the recommended month between replacement, but it would be nice to have the option to change them!  Although the pellets remain intact, I suspect odor control capacity diminishes over time.

March 2011
The pellets have been in stock consistently for some time now! I have get both the pellets and the pads on Subscribe and Save! This litter system has been amazing in a multi pet household! Highly recommended!

I did not realize that this book was only filled with Wheatley's painfully long & detailed  suggestions about how to set up for war with Germany.  I'm sure his suggestions were appreciated but as a reader who is interested in the history of the time,  I found no value in this book.

Question: Thanks for the Reviews!

Thanks to everyone who said to buy a size or 2 up! I am 5' 10" and 175 lbs (not ripped but no beer gut) and the extra large fits perfect. Had it not been for the reviews I probably would have ordered a medium because I like a snug fit. It would have been way too small. Great buoyancy and a great look.

I was excited to find another source for screw-back clip-ons since I don't have pierced ears.  I think these are for people with long earlobes because the "U" is a full 1/4 inch longer than other brands.  Just be aware that people will definitely know it's a clip-on.  Also the snowflakes are pretty, but not a shiny silver as pictured.

Question: Very Strong plastic smell

Very Strong plastic smell in coffee even after running several pots of just clean water. I returned Mr Coffee pot unfortunately after reading such GREAT reviews:(

The large diameter cutter is huge.  I really wish these would release the cut hole somehow, but require going in with a needle tool to get the wet clay out. I will experiment, they may work a little better using leather-hard clay rather than with wet clay.  I am guessing that some where there are better hole-cutting tools out there.

I used this on 3 frames. Worked great and was excited to find an easy to use frame maker. THEN, on the 4th frame, when I tightened the hand clamps, one broke. Very bad cheap construction. The maker Wolfcraft advertised a 10 year guarantee. I have emailed them twice on the on line contact email, nothing. Bad customer relations. Bad product. Stay away.

Wow...the greatest quotation book ever written. As a fan of quotes, I decided to purchase "The Greatest Quotations of All-Time"...after a friend told me about it. There has to be at least 300 wide ranging subjects, 675 pages, and is among the best books I've read. ALL my favorite quotes are in it. it is a different kind of quote book because it covers so much, and generally has 20-30 quotes per subject. It's inspiring, funny, and very thoughtful. I purchased a few copies as timeless gifts. Kudos to this new book and new author!

Question: Healthy Cat Food at an Affordable Price

We got 3 kittens two years ago from the same rescue place. I was feeding them IAMS kitten food until they were one year old, and then switched to EVOLVE when my daughter found this at Walmart, she noticed "No wheat, corn or soy". It cost the same as IAMS, but IAMS is not what it used to be and has added not-so-healthy ingredients. Since we became aware of the GMO issue with wheat, corn and soy, we don't want to eat those foods ourselves, therefore we don't want to feed it to the cats. Regardless of the GMO issue, cats have never consumed wheat, corn or soy of their own natural choice, although they eat it mixed in with commercial cat food.  These ingredients are linked to allergies, skin diseases, blood sugar issues and other problems with cats and dogs. [Search online regarding this] Therefore, if you want your pets to be healthy and want to avoid expensive vet bills, EVOLVE or another cat food that does not contain wheat, corn or soy, is a logical good choice.  All three of our cats love EVOLVE and since they eat more of this compared to IAMS they are now eating less canned food, which they used to prefer over the IAMS dry food. They are not experiencing any diarrhea, although for those cats having loose stools, activated charcoal can be added to their food and presto the diarrhea stops. We have always used charcoal to stop diarrhea for ourselves, and our pets. It is perfectly safe and simply absorbs the toxins in the intestines that are causing the diarrhea...and charcoal has no flavor to deter them from eating their food. I have also found with our pets that probiotics are needed to enable their intestines to digest food, just like with humans. We have given all three of our cats probiotics and they have never had diarrhea or constipation in the past 2 years since we adopted them.

My 12 year old daughter had to have these shoes for school.  I gave in and although she liked them, I thought they were a big on the big side in length and width.  Cute shoe but the fit was ok.

I would recommend this product to someone that is a novice cake decorator. The kit comes with very primitive decorating tools and a detailed instruction book. Therefore I would definitely not recommend this to someone looking for something advanced. Otherwise, a good thing to have around.

Question: don't buy this product

I am not sure how this product got four stats! Filter cup lid is NOT closing properly, coffee is overflowing all over the tray while brewing. I don't recommend this product.

The graphic looks wonderful. It wasn't too difficult to put on, but would have probably been easier (for me) with a second person. I did end up with a couple of creases on it, but they were small so I'm not at all worried about it. It's a bit to get used to at first. It's not like tint... It's a bunch of holes, or a mesh, but after a week or so I stopped noticing.

Overall I really like it.

They look just a little different from the photo and they are a bit flat but they're so darn cute as accent.

This is a great practice piano for band practice or for concerts. I like that I can also use the piano as a MIDI controller with my Mac computer with Garage Band. I like that the keyboard doesn't take up much space compared to a thicker stage piano with built it components.

The keyboard does weigh quite a bit, but does weigh less than its competition. When you add a road case to the mix, this keyboard weighs ALOT!

I recommend this keyboard to my vocal students that are wanting to learn the piano because of the true weighted keys. It feels as close to a real piano as I have been able to find.

Question: Alice in Chains - "Dirt"

Pros: Musical, Driving, Variety, Mood setting.

Cons: A little slow at times, a bit more mainstream

Alice in Chains, along with Soundgarden, helped bring "Alternative Music" the metal fans. In my eyes, they are one of the greatest bands, not just in metal, but in all of music. Their sound was, and still is original, and a great sound. 1992's "Dirt" was their follow up to their Debut "Facelift". The release did show a slightly slower side of Alice In Chains, a trend that would continue. Even with the mainstream "Would" (which is a great song) and "Rooster", Dirt has plenty of hard hitting ammo with "Them Bones", "Dam that river" and my favorite track "Sickman".

This is not an album for people who want to hear about the good things in life. It's written mostly about Layne's Heroin addiction and therefore is slow, dark, and self-depricating throughout most of the songs. The melodies, as well, tend to be darker, lower, and a little more hard hitting. Alice In Chains would prove to be master mood setters, and this album is a prime example.

The lyrics are hard hitting and relevant, the music is slow, melodic and driving, and the album just has great flow to it. If you have not heard of these guys, or only know them by their popular songs, do yourself a favor and pick them up. "Dirt" is a great musical experience, and all in all, probably their most solid effort.

(NOTE - The review was originally written 3/4/00)

This may in fact be my son's favorite book. It is written superbly well, and really helps little ones understand the digestive system from a kids' viewpoint. The entire series is great, but kids will be kids - the digestive system is always a clear favorite in terms of systems. ;) My son asks to hear it read to him just about every other night, and can help explain this body system really well now! It is great!

Question: ... hockey equipment and this one is one of the best and costs much less

I've used several of these sprays on hockey equipment and this one is one of the best and costs much less. Scenturion worked about as well but costs twice as much. Clear Gear works well.

Bought this phone in January 2011.  Generally works well.  Sound quality is good.  Speaker phone is very good.  You can use the handset, speaker, or headset.

However...

1.  When you pick up the handset to make a call, the phone selects a line that is not in use.  Good.  But when there is an incoming call and you pick up the handset, it does the same thing -- so you get a dial tone!  It should select the line that is ringing!  This is a BIG pain.

2.  The memory for frequently called numbers is very limited.

3.  When you play a message that was received by the answering system, the caller id information does not appear.  Most phones show you the number while the message plays, and allow you to just pick up the handset to return the call.  Not this phone.

4.  When the power goes out, the phone forgets the time and date.  (This is despite having a backup battery.)  When the next call comes in, it picks up the time and date from the caller id.  HOWEVER, it does not understand the YEAR, and defaults to 2006.  Thereafter, when it plays messages, it says the day of the week that the message was received -- but that day is wrong -- it's from 2006!

I'm going back to Panasonic.

Question: Pretty cover, and that's the only positive feature

Pretty cover, and that's the only positive feature.  Military history buffs might enjoy testing their knowledge by solving the clues, but the clues are not well written, making it hard to determine what answer they were looking for.  As far as the "crossword puzzle" description goes, it's a crossword only in the general sense of the word.  One word usually intersects at least one other word, maybe two and - rarely - three.  If you're looking for a crossword puzzle book with a theme, this is not it.  Definitely not done by a professional crossword composer.  Leafed through it, filled in a few words and then threw it out.  It's the first item I've ever gotten from Amazon that was not worth the time it took to order it.

Very thin and edges not hemmed, just a strand of thick thread around it. Would not reccomend. Started pilling fast.

It's a nice looking shoe, but fits smaller than expected.  I purchased a size 6.5.  It was a bit snug, but I assumed wrongly that they would stretch like other espadrilles do.

Question: EXCELLENT book for beginning Windows game programmers

I'm not going to bother writing another review and include all the different things that are in this book. There are enough reviews about that. As the description says, he covers the Windows basics, sound, input,  graphics manipulation, AI, physics, and much more.
One thing I would like  to make absolutely clear. I own all of Andre's other books, and whenever I  read reviews of them, they all seem to have several people saying one thing  in common. Simply put, these people say "I knew NOTHING AT ALL about  programming, and I read 4 pages of his book and was not able to write my  own DOOM game. This book sucks!!!"
COME ON PEOPLE!!! That is like  expecting your FIRST EVER driving lesson to make you an expert. Or taking  ONE class on auto mechanics and expecting to be an ASE certified tech. It  isn't going to happen.
Get real. He openly says you MUST have some basic  knowledge of C. The book does not suck because some people refuse to learn.  I own SEVERAL assembly language books, beginner to advanced. Most of the  advanced makes no sense. Did I write reviews and say it sucks? No. It  doesn't suck because I refuse to learn and expect everything to be given to  me like some of these reviewers.
Windows Game Programming for Dummies is  an excellent book for ANYBODY new to programming. Put it this way: I have  NEVER, EVER written anything for Windows. I used an old Borland C++ 3.1 for  Windows compiler, took Andre's first example, changed one variable, and  made it work. If it hadn't been for Andre, I wouldn't have ever tried to  program in Windows.
This book makes it so easy. If you have read his  previous books, but gave them a bad review (for whatever reason), give this  one a shot.
In closing, if you are considering making the move to  Windows game programming, but haven't because of all the complexity, the  answer is here. If you are one of these people who say "I couldn't  ever do it, it's way too hard", I said the exact same thing before I  tried once, and I did it. And I had NEVER done it before.
Nothing  complex. No MFC, COM, OWL, or otherwise. Just the basics. And it works.
Just remember that you do need to have some C (NOT C++) experience. You  don't have to be an expert, but 6+ months of experience would really help.  This book does not teach you C, rather, it shows you how to apply what you  have already learned.

I am honestly not sure how I feel about this book.  It is very reminiscent of Jurassic Park, just on a larger scale with much more intrigue and, if it is possible, more action.  The premise is fascinating, the lengths to which China would go in order to become a cultural superpower.  The prologue of the book is fascinating, and truly set the context for the rest of the novel.  While the novel is sci-fi/fantasy, the prologue's tinge of reality created the framework, and believability, of the story.

The story is set in a zoo in southern China, a zoo like no other on earth.  Several VIPs from the fields of politics, science, and journalism have been invited to a special tour of the facility, a move to create global buzz in advance of its opening.  And, as one would expect, chaos ensues.

I love the premise of the book.  It is unique, despite its similarity to Jurassic Park, and the implications of it are astounding and rather horrifying.  To say that the novel is action-packed would be an understatement.  It was definitely on the gory side, which isn't something I necessarily mind.  But there were times that the action was so intense that it was as if the human characters got a little lost.  We just didn't get to know the individual characters very well and, although there was a large cast, very few were really developed.  And that made it a little hard to connect sometimes.

I think it was the lack of a lot of characterization that bothered me, but there is no denying that the premise is fantastic.  There are so many interesting elements to the story that make you think about what superpower status should really be worth.  It also makes you take a look at humanity and really wonder about it.

My Recommendation:  If you love thrillers with non-stop action and a good story line, this is a good read!

Question: Rangers Lead the Way!

I purchased this book in 1985 because I like this type of book and knew the author. In 1977 I attended Ranger School as an ROTC cadet. Back then there would be two classes in the summer that were mostly ROTC cadets. When that happened, the Army assigned an ROTC instructor to each platoon to evaluate the cadets for credit of the summer camp they were not attending, going Ranger instead. Then Captain Leonard Scott was my platoon's officer. He was fantastic and we were the envy of all the other platoons because of him. He told us stories of things that had happened to him as a Ranger platoon leader in Vietnam, instructional stories from experiences and lessons learned in the school of hard knocks. As I read the book eight years later, I recognized some of those same stories incorporated into what was happening to the characters in the book. So while this is fiction, it draws on his real life experiences as a true to life Ranger. Outstanding officer, outstanding book.

Awesome, it stand heavy raining, harsh sun. And looks heavy duty .

Question: Top Notch Study of Disney TV

Telotte casts a critical eye toward Disney's successful attempt to broaden his media empire into the then emergent medium of television.  Not only does the book provide a compact and well-informed history of the birth and growth of Disney TV, but a wonderful analysis of the cultural meanings that impelled this move and which it subsequently generated.  First-rate television and Disney scholarship here and one of the best books in the TV Milestones series.

I enjoyed the first book in this series. I like the mystery behind the main character and the intensity of the storyline.

It took a couple of days to come uncurled, but it is excellent quality.

By this novel you get an impression of the way of life and the thinking of some parts of the population in Berlin about 100 years ago. You are confronted with representatives of the intellectual middle class, of factory-owners and domestic servants. You are informed about what pupils learn in the gymnasium and how the middle class spend their free time.

For us - living in the 21st century -  it is very interesting, how much living conditions and circumstances have changed within a rather short period, compared with the flow of history!

Question: Surprising hard to use, produces mixed results.

As someone else did, I am writing this review of a new unit that we bought from Ronco. It replaced a Broil King rotisserie which always did a great job but which for reasons unknown to me my wife decided to trash.
First off, the double skewers/wheel system is really hard to use compared to a convential spit. It takes quite a bit of time to align and secure the meat or poultry. Then, the "assembly" has to be loaded into the rotisserie oven which is messy process since there are no handles or ends as found on conventional spits. You are forced to hold the wheels, which dig into your hands. If you try to just hold the spits or food, the wheels can fall off the skewers, the meat may slip and have to be realigned -- in short, a pain in the neck.
Wait until the food is cooked and you have to remove it -- again, there's nothing to grab onto except the hot meat or metal. No wonder Ronco issues heavy duty rubber gloves for this step! I would rather work with a conventional spit. As far as I know, this is the only rotisserie sold that comes with rubber gloves...
The first few times we used this was for chicken. Our old Broil King always did a excellent job, expecially with browning the chicken and crisping the skin. Oddly enough, we found that the Ronco did not crisp the skin. I believe that the reason is that door fits so tight that the chicken is partially steamed.
Anyway, we stopped using this and it now sits alongside the laundry tub in our garage. I may try it again on a chicken, leaving the door open, and see if the skin crisps up.
Ronco had a money-back satisfaction guarantee. I wish I had taken advantage of it and spent an extra hundred bucks or so on a replacement Broil King. The refurb unit is a fraction of normal retail cost, so if you have some extra money to risk you might want to give it a try.

I love these, and use them all the time for hanging laundry to dry. VERY sturdy and well-made. Highly recommend.

Question: I absolutely loved this. It tied the whole sorry of Ana ...

I absolutely loved this. It tied the whole sorry of Ana and Christian together. I feel bad for EL James about all of the criticism she's getting in regards to poor writing and glorifying abuse. It's just not true. Her FANS begged her for this book and she delivered. If you don't like it, simply don't read it. If you haven't read it, don't pretend to have an opinion. I think this book is great! I only wish the story was never ending.

For the most part, this book is interesting.  It deals with decentralization and how decentralized organizations have certain advantages over more centralized organizations.  Hence, the titular metaphor; decentralized organizations are like a starfish, which, unlike a spider, cannot be killed by cutting off the head.

While interesting, I have two major qualms with the book.  First is the title.  The use of the word "leaderless" in the subtitle is a marketing ploy.  After all, leadership and leaders are thought to be essential to organizations.  So, a book claiming to show how organizations without leaders can be powerful is bound to inspire curiosity.  However, upon reading the book you will find that while true leaderless organizations are difficult to destroy, they are also not capable of achieving unified objectives.  In fact, the authors spend much of their time talking about organizations which are decentralized and run by leaders who use a hands off leadership style, "power down", and encourage initiative in subordinates.  Of course, the authors rename the leaders as "catalysts" and "champions", but if you have studied leadership theory you will see that catalysts and champions are leaders by another name.

The second qualm I have is the narrowness of the experiences presented.  If you read the book and wait until the end to read about the authors, you will have no trouble figuring out where they went to school and the circles they are connected to.  Like other authors in the genre (notably Malcolm Gladwell), they use anecdotes to drive their thesis home.  However, their anecdotes are taken, for the most part, from a very narrow band of experiences within the authors' social and academic circles.  The book espouses the power of connections, but the authors don't seem to be heeding their own advice as their networks of connections seems somewhat narrow.  This raises questions about whether the principles outlined in the book can be effectively generalized to the much, much broader world outside that of the authors'.

In all, I hesitate to recommend this book.  If you are interested in how increased decentralization can enhance organizational effectiveness there are certainly some lessons to be learned here.  However, if you are looking for a world-shaking vision of powerful leaderless organizations, you'll be disappointed.

Question: Does not fit properly on all Boxes

The fixture itself puts out bright light but the way the mounting holes are placed the fixture won't be in a straight line if your electrical ceiling box only has two support screws that may be off center which could put the fixture at a 45 degree angle. The other problem is this fixture has a narrow top so if you try and place the fixture in a straight line using the existing mounting holes part of the electrical box is exposed. again if the box has offset mounting screws. The other problem was the on/off pull chain which only extends down a very short distance so if  a ceiling mount you would have to provide some type of attachment to the pull chain.

Pros: Lasted me 5 years, decent sound on headphones and mic.

Cons: I had to replace the ear foamies, a little big for my head. After about four and a half years(and running over the cord all the time) I lost audio into the headset and am now having trouble with the microphone working.

Planning To buy me another pair since they are cheap and lasted me longer then others.

Question: Simple & yet performs well!

Wow, This Meat tenderizer and pounder is such a high quality product.  It is simple to use and all you have to do is unscrew the top to switch the head from the tenderizer to the pounder.  It fits comfortably in my hand which makes the pounding very easy.  It is weighted to give the right pressure to give the meat a good workout!  lol.. This 2-in-1 looks great and has a nice style.  *I did receive this at a reduced cost and these are my true and honest unbiased feelings.

As stated and encyclopedia. Cant imagine its missing much if anything you could ever need for chord reference. Good pictures of hand/finger position as well as diagrams that also show you the note name of each finger position. Great reference book. Could probably call it a bible but I think the name was taken.

Question: Most comfortable pair of boots I own.

When I pulled these out of the box, I thought they sent me the wrong size.  They looked small.  I even looked on the box and in the shoe to make sure they sent the correct size.  I wear a size 12, so love that the design of this shoe makes them look smaller.  My other initial reaction was how light and flexible they were.  Apparently I missed that they were synthetic in the description.  I just assumed for the price they were leather.  I almost didn't try them on for this reason, but because of the design, I decided to try them on.  They are the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever worn.  I just hope they don't fall apart on me because they aren't leather.  I would have given them 5 stars except for the price for synthetic.

For the price, you can't beat this. $75 a chair... The high end store has similar chairs for $300 a chair. Although it doesn't beat the quality but I can tell you that this has exceeded my expectations.  First chair took a bit to figure out but the ones after that took about 10 minutes a piece by myself.  I bought 4 counter height and 2 matching bar height chairs and I would recommend them both.

Question: great watch for it's price

one of the best watches in this price segment. sustained some hard cracks from one tracking  & caving trip in mountains without any damages.

This book is the first book I have read in the past 5 years that is so visually captivating I could not put it down. Berger uses his own gorgeous aerial and ground photographs, and visionary mapping techniques to show the world a new type of landscape that is being produced via landscape devastation and reclamation. He coins a new term -Post Technological Landscape-to describe the artificial landscapes being formed by humans in the post-mined areas of the western U.S. An introduction to the book, by the enigmatic poet Frederick Turner, also helps define this term. There is a very interesting,if not dry, appendix that reveals how each western state technically defines the term "reclamation" and what they have accomplished to clean up industrial leftovers in the landscape. I highly recommend this book for anyone thirsting for landscape photography, landscape theory, ecology and nature.

Question: Love Jonathan Kellerman

I think Kellerman is a great mystery writer with all of his twists on turns. The key is always a great plot along with characters and Kellerman covers all basics. His Dr. Delaware character is smart, yet sensitive, cool, but firm. Mlio for a gay detective is always by his side. Over the years Kellerman has become one of my favorite authors.

Disappointed. Make sure to order a little bigger size. They're tight on the top part of my feet. Squeezes and hurts after time.
Hint: put on plastic bag over your shoes to help slide into these rubber overshoes.

Question: Beautiful, functional, lifetime tool

Beautiful, functional knife. Thicker blades and tools make it a good trail knife. Handymen would also find good use for this knife. Also, the awl being on the end, rather than center of the knife make it more practical. The absence of tools on the spine of the knife make it more comfortable for extended use as it produces no hot spots. I don't understand reveiwers who feel the need to be abusive to their knives to prove how tough or weak the knife is. Personally, Ive used knives all my life and can't remember destroying one. Learn to use your knife properly and you can hand it down to your grandchildren. This knife is a lifetime tool.

The bows are very cute on my daughter hair but the clip breaks easily after 2 wears.

Question: ... the anthology version of this book awhile ago and loved it, but this was so freaking amazing

I read the anthology version of this book awhile ago and loved it, but this was so freaking amazing. I didn't think that I could fall more in love with Cole and Owen then I had before, but Kate has done it again. I hated ever moment that I had to put this book down to "adult" but found myself captivated and the characters never very far from my mind.

When Cole comes crashing into Owen's life things turn upside-down and right-side up in the most perfect way. These two have this amazing chemistry and this book is full of angst and Kate's signature wit that makes this book so, so, so good. Cole and Owen push each other to be better versions of themselves just like love should. Oh and you will most definitely fall completely in love with the people in the town, especially the bookstore owner.

Find out who these two fall in love and how Cole's secret will affect their happily ever after.

The action is really high. (That means the strings are high up off the neck)  If you are a beginning player like I am it will be more difficult/unsatisfying to learn on.  At least that's how it was for me.  I think when the action is so high it takes more strength in your fingers to hold the strings you need down and if you try to play any chords where you have to hold down 2 strings with one finger or you have to barre (hold down all the strings at one of the frets with the side of your index finger) that's where you really notice the difficulty with the action being so high.  I don't know if this is just me, but the frets also seem weird (like not tall enough or something) so it was really easy for me to slip my finger into another fret if I wasn't careful which made it frustrating to try and learn on.

I ended up using a flea to learn on www.magicfluke.com  and it was like night and day for me! The action is really low on those so it is much easier to push down the strings - I could manage to learn how to push down 2 strings at once on the flea and to barre fairly well.  I picked up the woodi to see if I could do it on that instrument any better now that I'd had more practice....but I still had the same struggle that I did initially.

I've heard video reviews on YouTube of really amazing uke players getting a really good sound out of the woodi which is mostly why I bought it.  So for someone who is skilled at playing string instruments and already has that finger strength, I think this is a really cool instrument to have.  It's completely plastic so pretty much impossible to ruin and it really is capable of making a pretty nice tone (if a little toy-like) for a durable ukulele at this price.  You do need to change the strings on it though to like Aquilas or something - the strings it comes with are pretty bad.

Question: Big display, interface is not intuitive

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/B1A4J9raoFS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91TdAfB1-1S.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> This clock is 9" wide,  3.25" tall and 2.125" thick. Each number is 2.128" tall and each line in number is 0.25" thick.  It can be seen from a distance even by someone without perfect vision.  The clock takes a back up battery, which saves the time when the clock loses power. The back up battery is a button cell battery (CR2032) which is not included.

On the negative side, the instructions are not very clear and it takes some experimenting to figure out how set the clock.  One thing that makes documentation confusing is that the documentation describes three different clocks referring them as "first generation", "second generation" and "third generation". I was not sure what I had but since the description of the third one referred to the remote control which I did not have I figured I did not have the third generation.  I was able to get the countdown to work which is the "second generation" function.

One thing that really helped me is to figure out how to reset the clock (as my first attempt was wrong). You can reset the clock by pushing a pin into a reset hole in the back. This lets you start over.

When documentation says "turn key "5" to TESET", they refer to the slide control and position labelled "T-SET". In T-set position you can set the time my pressing up or down buttons to set hours, minutes and seconds and use mode button to advance to the next setting.

To set the count down you need to click "mode" button when the slide control is in the "normal".  This will allow you to set the count down time which starts with hours, then minutes, then seconds. When you set the duration and hit mode button again the display will display "CD __". If you hit up button it will turn the count down on (down turns the count down off) and then display changes to "CD ON".  The final step is to hit the Snooze button, which starts the count down.  To get out of count down display back into the clock mode, you need to hit MODE button.

Snooze button has many functions not just Snooze. In addition to starting the count down, if you touch Snooze while the clock is displayed time of the day it will change to show the temperature reading and then the date.  The temperature is shown in Celsius and the date is shown in the European format.  I have not found a way to change the temperature or date format.  The documentation mentions it under "Third generation" clock - a button that toggles between F and C but my clock does not have a button like that.

Overall, nice big display, but the interface to various functions is not intuitive and not well documented.

This clock is provided by Chihai,

Question: Fatherhood simulator by SoyBoy Kratos.

Well.. very mixed feelings.. the graphics are great, combat is interesting but it just does not feel like god of war. Its more like Last Of Us kinda experience and not what I expected. Missing the good old rage filled pursuit of revenge type of Kratos. Theres a lot of side quests, puzzles, collectibles which are all nice touch but they seem just to be there to fill the void and take your time. I gathered hundreds of resources, dozens of armors, weapon modifiers etc and most of it seems useless and never used. Ended up with thousands of money and experience units that are also useless. I had a constant feeling of anticipation for the real GOW experience to arrive and then the game ended. Left me feeling very disappointed. Its very weird cause the whole game seems to be top notch initially and it might be for someone who never played original GOW 1-3 but it just isn't what it should be. After its done they motivate you to complete all the side quests etc but the question is.. what for?.

Yes this thing does the job well in regards to getting the water off of your lettuce. The design of this is very nice and I like how you can lock the push button in place which enables this to fit in the refrigerator. The brake button is a great feature as well as I could remember back in the day you had to wait until it stop spending which could take some time. The only feature that I see can make this product better would be a pouring hole of some sort in which the access water can be poured out of this while keeping the lid on. I mean you can take the lid off, take the green basket out, and drain the water but I believe a feature like this would be more convenient for the customer. Anyway this is a great product that I will be using very much.

Not as fast to process BPM, or even steps taken...seems to be delayed. You can be walking and you won't see the number of steps increase actively. You have to check after you finish the activity.

The phone I received was great looking cosmetically but had problems when turned on.  It would crash constantly and the charging point was messed up and I would have to Jerry rig it sometimes to charge properly.  I liked this phone alot when I bought it brand new,  but the used one I got was a dud.

Question: Teaches a leseson....

this is a really great book. not only is it funny, and full of British slang, but it helps teach a life lesson. it shows what bipolar people go through, and the lengths Ella goes through to try to understand Lucas, and maintain her relationship with her new bf, Toby.

I was hoping this would solve some of the glitchiness I get when recording in 4K with a GoPro Hero 4 black.
Unfortunately it does not.  It does function as an SD card.  It does work fairly well.  Its a bit pricey for the glitchiness to still exist, but I haven't been able to determine if its my computer or just the SD cards I have been using.  I'll likely use it for other projects, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again.  (If the problems exist but not on the SD card, I'll update).

Question: This is what the game was supposed to be

I love this game. To me it is my favorite zombie game with Zombie Army Trilogy right behind. Plus we got Days Gone coming to PS4 next year so can't wait for that zombie game. Every one says that Dying Light (which is made by same company, Techland), is what Dead Island was supposed to be. I though Dead Island was better. The controls in Dying Light felt clunky and the parkour got on my nerves and the setting was alright. The setting in Dead Island is fantastic because its on an island which is the last place you would think zombies would be.
So if you are hesitant getting this, then get it. Everyone is giving this 1-3 stars because only one is on disc while the others are download. So Deep Silver made a small mistake. I understand if you have no internet, but at least the best one is on disc. So if you played it on last gen, get it now. Much improved, including frame rate and pop ins which I think were most important. Graphics are even more amazing too, but they were fantastic on last gen too. Overall 5/5 get it.

The Body in the Transept was fun and satisfying. Here's an American lady leading the life of my dreams - retirement in England in a cozy little English cottage with a cat and an attractive and interested cop just a murder away! Brew a cup of tea and settle back for a pleasant evening.

Question: Great final moments, some funny misses, & eternal ending

I was tempted to give it 5 stars for just the ending alone, which had something desirable mixed with the unexpected. Psyche has always been awesome for its cameos from guest stars but there continue to be some priceless ones this season.

I dropped it a star because some of the episodes were just too random with the Psych Odyssey putting the actors back in time to recreate what happened with different unrelated characters had a few funny moments but was too cooky. The same with the Trial episode remake from Season 1. Some funny & cool moments but overall it was like what the hell are they doing? Last but not least the Gus Horror Nightmares episode was just way too outthere. Luckily, they are all such good and funny actors I enjoyed each and every episode, just not as much as the 1st 7 seasons. Worth watching just for the beginning of the season & the ending.

i have read about 20% of this book, couldn't finish , returned it. Poor written replica of 50 shades.

Question: A personal search for celtic alignments

If you're looking for a book that lays out a strong case for the Celts aligning their cities along the paths of the summer and winter sun, I think you'll be disappointed.  Robb wanders quite a bit, and by about page 200, seems to draw arbitrary lines all over the map.

If, on the other hand, you're looking for a narrative of an historian's search for alignments of Celtic cities, filled with evidence and notes, and also filled with moments of personal doubts and excitement, I think you'll like this book.  Robb is oblique in a Celtic way, fluidly moving between formal arguments and dream-like coincidences.

This book wasn't what I was looking for, but I'm glad I read it.  I enjoyed it as a sort of traveler's journal of a very intriguing land.

The perfect classic wedge. Wonderful quality and comfort with beautiful leather texture. I loved it, and ended up purchasing a second one because my mom loved it so much. It's perfect if you want kitten heels that still look classy and professional.

Question: Lacking in Heart and Soul...

A good, laudable effort to chronicle, experience and describe some of America and the world's greatest sporting events. (And who among us hasn't had that dream, that a bucket list?)  Easy to relate to the idea, but in the end the stories become more about the author than about the event and the aura that surrounds them.

Basically, the events and people around them are described but not the passion, heart and soul of the event itself.  It's talked about and described, yes, but not felt and experienced vicariously as it should be in a book of this type.

Even in the chapter on the Masters, he can't help but drift (or slide) back  into the world of critical journalists, critiquing verything and everybody in, at least partially, a negative light. But he does save the best for the last.  The chapter on Opening Day at Fenway Park is the best chapter in the book (and I'm a Yankee Fan).  In it he captures the passion, the commitment, the living and dying loyalty of fans and the events themselves, all of which are iconic in their statue. And all of which are part of what is past, part of what is, and part of what is to come.  In this chapter, Mr. Gorant finallys it right.

It's a shame the whole book isn't written in this tone and light.  If it would have been an exceptional, exceptional, work.  Sadly, it's not.

Relatively fast and easy setup. The only caveat is that you need to position the high side into the wind for proper function. Sometimes this may not  be ideal for shade or watching the ocean.  Still, I would definitely buy it again because it worked great for two (and some times three) people and is not subject to getting blown down the beach like standard umbrellas. It's easy to carry and easy to fit back in its carry bag. I suggest taking along a flower planting shovel to fill the bags (this is very easy to do).

Question: Issues: Connect of Probe/Light and Battery and/or Charger

Bummed out. Bought this for carpenter / contractor friend to inspect behind drywall or for plumbing leak situation for Christmas 2013. He loved it but first off the light would not turn on unless connected and jiggled. Thought just learning curve. Used it 3 times a few months ago and needs it today. Pulled it out to charge up last night, battery already dead. The screen was still charged but without charged battery, handset and thus light cannot turn on and screen cannot continue charging. So, have to hit tool aisle in about an hour to get a $50 battery to charge while friend is working, so that can get this thing working so he can do evening job with it. After that, calling Dewalt to send in whole unit due to jiggle light connection and battery failure to look over whole unit. What a PIA for what should be a pretty cool and useful tool! Beware. If your unit's light is sometimey at startup,  return it for a replacement.

Picked up the new battery - charged for about 15 minutes then went to fast flash indicating either issue with battery or charger. Pulled it out and put it back in twice and now solid light - fully charged. So, may be first battery bad and maybe issue with charger. Giving another 15 minutes then putting everything together to see if I can get it working. If it works, will still send the unit and all batteries and chargers in for Dewalt for checkup. Will update again after dealing with Dewalt...

Nice receiver! Plenty of power for my old Bose 601's. Best surround/theater sound you could get in a living room! Bluetooth works well with my phone too. Overall, a nice replacement for my old Pioneer stereo (80's) to move my audio into the future.
