Question: One of Jane Austen's Best Novels

I can read this over and over again.  I am always delighted by the humor and the great wisdom about people of all different stripes.  It is a classic and I can never stop re-reading the Jane Austen novels.  Yes they are about the culture and mores of a different era, but they are very true when it comes to human nature. It's all about the alliances we are going to make in the great quest to make a living and have a happy life.  They are like old friends and so very comforting in this scary world we live in.  The stingy people get what's coming to them, the boors pair up with other boors, and the good people have their trials but find happiness in the end.  What more can you ask?

Moses Miller has written a book that will stay in your mind for weeks!  Nan: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones is a book about a young boy who becomes a orphan due to a tragic event.  Nathan faces a life of twists and turns, ups and downs and constantly looking over his shoulder. Moses Miller makes sure that each character in this book is developed in a way that they become a part of you and your mind/soul.  You will find yourself thinking about Nathan as if he is someone you know! I will not give away any details because I don't want to spoil it for you.  I want you to experience this first hand.  Once you start to read, the words will come to life!  Make sure you are reading this book with a buddy, as you will NEED someone to discuss the events that will take place in this book! There were times that my heart was beating outside my chest! Grab a glass of wine, take a sip and let the words of this book play out before your eyes!

Question: Good quality but small

Nice case but too small for the dell chromebook.

I have friends who ask me to order books on line for them, since they don't have computers.  An 83-year-old friend of mine was given a new typewriter, and wanted a book to learn how to type from.  But not a book that did MORE than teach him how to type, such as a tutorial for someone wanting to gain typing skills for employment, just a simple little book.  I reviewed what Amazon had available, and after examining several books, settled on this particular easy-to-follow book.  My friend is thrilled with it, and spends at least a half-hour a day working on his new skill.  I was so happy to be able to give him this little gift which he is enjoying oh so very much.  When you're 83, and in comparatively good health, every day with little to do makes for a very boring life.  He is looking forward to the day he can bat out letters to his sons and grandchildren -- I believe his goal is 15 words a minute, which may seem small to touch typists -- but, like he said to me, "I got all the time in the world so even if I only manage 15 or 20 words a minute, I'm fulfilling a very long-time dream."  Thanks to Amazon, I was able to help my dear friend make that dream come true.

Question: Good product, Great Service

I had complained in my original review that Bushnell had changed the style of case, and therefore the unit was difficult to remove.  My attempts to contact Bushnell asking for the alternative case fell flat, until today.  I received a return call from their Director of Customer Service, who addressed my issues immediately and completely.

Therefore, I am updating my review to reflect 5 stars for a great product, AND great service.  Thanks Bushnell.

I'm a Hugh Howey fan and I enjoy the 'realistic' Science Fiction stories, of course I've read all the Silo series.

Question: Out of the ordinary read

This was an excellent and fast read.  It is a little different from most that I have read, but the story is interesting. I did read the 5 books of Silver Wood Coven, one right after the other.  They blend well with one basic story line. The story did draw me in to see what was going to happen!

This is a good book for starting out on the clean eating lifestyle.  It has given me a good starting point.  Some of the recipes are seriously lacking in flavor, though.  I have had to tweek quite a few of them to get some more flavor.

Question: Wonderful testament of faith

It's easy to believe when life goes well and no problems occur....the true test is when there are obstacles. Mary Beth Chapman writes a beautiful story filled with real trials and tribulations. I feel like she let me inside of her life....and I am honored to have grown as a result of her story

This jacket is more comfortable and perfect than I expected.  I LOVE it and highly recommend it.  I bought it as something lightweight to take along when hiking.

It was a little cheaper then I had thought, however it still looks really cool. I have only worn it for about 10mins at a time. I just got it for fun, it hasn't fallen apart or anything.

Cherokee scrubs are an absolute no for future buying. Shrink, fade, uncomfortable and not worth the money. VERY VERY disappointed. Wish I didn't wear them, that way I could return them.

Question: The adjustable fit works great for days that I need it to fit looser ...

The color and shine is exactly how it's pictures.  The adjustable fit works great for days that I need it to fit looser or tighter.  The image on the cross is more clear than I expected since it was on such a small piece.  I also like the weight of it.  Bit heavier than most of my bracelets but it works out well when I layer with other bracelets.

I have used two different platform dollies to move boxes, a large printer, and a computer around in my office.  More boxes showed up so I decided to try the DeVault dolly.  I was impressed.  Though they are made of plastic, the plastic is thick, tough, and well reinforced.  These units roll easily on my wood floor and give no hint of failure.  I will buy more when I need them.

Question: Minimal pressure, no smudge, exactly what I wanted

I got these with the intent to use them for when I'm writing for a longer stretch when even the slight pressure required of a standard ballpoint would eventually lead to a cramped hand, but I was also worried about smears. I'm not a lefty but my writing is small and dense so it's a definite concern.
My hopes were met and exceeded. The gel dries super fast; I've never had a single smudge in normal use. Plus they write like a dream--smooth and with minimal pressure.  Would recommend to anyone. Totally worth the bit of extra money compared to your average cheapo pens.

I ordered these shoes. I always order 81/2 wide in shoes. I had to return these. The wide was very wide and 1/2 too large. Overall, the shoe was okay. Would've preferred more of an almond toe shape.

These are good quality cups. They turned out to be too big for what I need, but if this is the size you want, you will be happy with them. They don't leak in my lunch bag which is a HUGE plus.

Question: Breaks too easy,laugh not worth money

Too light,both gnomes were bumped into each other,both hats busted and mushroom broke at stem base. Waste of money

I purchased this seat for my husband (who is 6'4" and 400lbs) and five months later the seat has broken along one of the hinges. For the price I thought it would last longer than a regular $30 seat from the hardware store. When I wrote the company to ask how long was their guarantee, their reply was that we must have installed it wrong! There is NO warranty or quality assurance with this product! It was more comfortable than the usual seat but be aware that it will still probably have to be replaced as often as the much cheaper ones. Also on our toilet you had to be sure and put the lid down after you flushed or it would hold down the handle and keep the water running.

Question: Some good tips, but not a thorough how-to

I agree with the other reviewer stating this is merely a compilation of articles from different authors thrown into a book. Although the book does contain some good "tips" on spraying, it's hardly a soup to nuts book on spraying projects. What I was mostly looking for was setting up the best HVLP system I could. The chapter entitled "Which Spray System Is Right For You?" pretty much concluded the best HVLP set-up for the finest spray is a conversion-air. However, the article does not go into any detail on how to set that up. That chapter describes the turbine hvlp as "coarse and splotchy."  The next chapter is then devoted to, you guessed it, the turbine air hvlp system! There is no further detail about the set up of a conversion air system.

If you already have a spray system you are happy with, there are several good articles in this book about improving technique. Do what I did though, check out the book for free from your local library and make copies of the articles you find useful.

By far the most useful item on my registery... maybe it's because I had a boy that loves to open air relieve himself.  Truly has saved me money in the changing pad covers and laundry...  my babys favorite spot to lounge... tummy time... after bath lotion time... whatever.  He gives it 2 but cheeks approval.

Question: Some great great projects from the man in plaid

This is the only book from the series that I didn't buy.

I've checked it out from the library a few times but I should have bought it.  There are some nice pieces that Norm built during this period of the show.  Yes, he relies as heavily as usual on power tools and the carcass on a fine case piece was made from mahogany plywood, but the designs are strong.  The plywood could be replaced with a solid mahogany panel and it would still be a nice looking piece that was built in a better material.

Looking at the list of pieces, I'd hate to venture how many sets of plans were sold for the Adirondack chair.  I like the settle and the pencil post bed.  I even liked his technique for building that bed.  The chest-on-a-chest is very elegant and certainly wouldn't be out of place amongst some classic furniture of the period.

Definitely a worthwhile title to add to the library and long overdue in my own library.

Question: ... my grill was new but I believe these work better than the original burners

It's been a while since my grill was new but I believe these work better than the original burners.  The price was much cheaper than the individual units I looked at from other suppliers.

If I saw this book in the book store, chances are I would have walked right by; I am not a big fan of the game and would have thought the book would be boring. Luckily, I heard the author interviewed on NPR and realized there is more to this book than meets the eye. I am a history buff, especially progressive ideas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book revealed things I was totally unfamiliar with. I am almost done reading and find I will have some more research and reading to do based on folks I have learned about. Ms. Pilon is an excellent writer and storyteller.

Question: Talented writing, but missing plausibilty

Let me explain my title. The book was well written in terms of grammar, style, use of descriptions, and such. Two points really brought the book down for me. The first is that Logan, the heroin addicted heroine, was completely unrealistic as a heroin addict. The author gave her no plausible addictive behaviors, especially to a drug as destructive as heroin. A little research needed to be done. The second point that brought my rating down was the lack of a defined (until the last minute) antagonist. There wasn't anyone in the book that cause a rise in the tension of conflict until the very last few pages, and even then, it's like the author just got lost and came up with a quick rescue so the book could be put to rest. Don't get me wrong, the book was fine, but an almost romanticized druggie and a last minute bad guy lost me.

Does exactly as its supposed to. The fragrance is great, and the tingle sensation is refreshing. I'm always clean shaven down there, so it's especially refreshing.

Maybe a bit costly, but I'll continue to use it.

Question: Not quick and easy... but still worth it

Overall I am neutral about this product.  First the pros, this is a strong sturdy product and the wheels glide wonderfully.  The cons... well first the holes that came pre-drilled were not to a standard stud width I had to get creative with hole drilling and filing to make it look decent.  Second I ordered 4 sets of this item.  Out of a total of 8 rails 6 were warped! Again creativity and positioning made this item work (I am not that creative,so a lot of extra time was spent). But because of the time and attention to detail plus how nicely my doors slide I have to say I am not completely turned off of this product I do think with a little extra time and effort you'll enjoy this product.

At the start of my career as a business analyst 14 years ago, within the Microsoft EMEA Head Quarter, I was in charge of updating the internal in-house market modeling used to predict and build the "budget" (mostly an overall business forecast) for each country of the EMEA region. All american big companies have this tradition every year or 6 months to ask their country managers to sign with their blood the business they will generate on the following year...

What I was figured out in working on this modelling, was the same as any decision-makers have in mind in 90% of the main groups around the world: splitting a giant pie between competitors, addressing "churners" (i.e. clients of my competitors) and addressing also new customers coming from the "natural" growth of my market. This "budget" process was also feed by all the major IT market research firms (IDC, Gartner, etc.), bringing also the same view and understanding on the IT market, for all countries of the world.

After being involved in several Blue Ocean Strategy procedures, I have realized this very classical "budget" process was also based on a very underlying structuring hypothesis for the company: market is fixed with already defined frontiers nothing can change.

W. Chan Kim and Rene Mauborgne has shown us another way. They told to all business owners, entrepreneurs, executives in profit or non-profit organisation within the world: Your industry is not frozen, you can shake it and create your own market in your industry, far from competition!

Blue Oceans are all these industries yet to be created, with strong potential profit and growth, where you can be the first to enter, making competition irrelevant. From "market-competing moves" to "market-creating moves".

In their new book "Blue Ocean SHIFT", based on a decade of experiential research analyzing Blue Ocean Strategy real implementations in any profit or non-profit organisations, W. Chan Kim and Rene Mauborgne detail a wide range of these (e.g. SEB French fryer, Malaysian State projects, young Iraqi orchestra). They also define in their book all we need to create our own Blue Ocean market: the full detailed tried-and-tested process, the components, key issues and pitfalls to have in mind to succeed in this shift from red to blue.

Based on my Blue Ocean Strategy practice for years, I can clearly confirm we feel, at each words, the weight of the real experimentation and the authors' objective to be always action-oriented. I have also specially noticed one of these components they reveal: the "humanness which inspires and builds people's confidence to own and drive the process for effective execution." Based on my experience, this component is very key and the authors express this better than any Blue Ocean practitioners could.

Another key point authors have perfectly detected in the fail of organization transformation: treating strategy definition and execution separately. When we implement a Blue Ocean Strategy process the strategy creation (with objective of creating a new market) and the execution are done simultaneously. The same group of people will define and execute it in the same time, as the leaders in charge of defining and launching the offers the company needs to create its new Blue Ocean market.

As you understand, I clearly recommend the Blue Ocean SHIFT book to any business owner, entrepreneur, government or non-profit manager who want to implement in the reality the process to create his new market.

Question: Love having a "Pair" and a "Spare"!

Glad to find the "2 pack".  That way I can have one set in the vacuum while another set is drying after rinsing. Living in the windy desert it's amazing just how quickly these get filled with dust and having a "spare" set is invaluable.  Also, pricing was much less expensive than what I could obtain locally.

My daughter loved this castle. We bought it and put a bunch of different Disney Princess dolls in it for her birthday. It's really easy to put together, unfortunately, very easy to take apart. My 2 year old son, loves demolishing the castle. But as long as you don't have a tornado toddler in the house destroying castles, it's a perfect buy

Question: Gave me the answer I have been seeking

I've read many books over the years but this one is the best book in addressing my feelings of lingering unhappiness, anxiety about the future, regrets about my past and the sense that something was missing from my life. I'm so impressed by it that it compelled me to write my first review. After just reading it once, I already see my life differently because it made me realize it was my pattern of thinking (ruminating) that was causing my unhappiness and anxiety. I've read other books that stresses living in the moment but this is the first one that ties it in with anxiety in a way that make sense perfectly. It will take a while for me to completely learn this new way of thinking, and of course I'll have some slips and when I do,I have this wonderful book to guide me back. If I can only keep one book from my collection, it would be this one. Highly recommend it.

Question: I love watching old time-period documentaries and thought I'd give it ...

I'm not much of a reader, but I saw this at the airport and had to buy it.  I love watching old time-period documentaries and thought I'd give it a try.  It was so interesting and I couldn't put it down.  I loved reading about the backgrounds of all the young women and how they all came from different lifestyles and socio-economic levels and came to work at this place doing everything from janitorial work and machine labor to working in a lab as physicists.  I definitely learned a lot and it is amazing that all this was going on without anyone knowing.

This mat exceeded my expectations.  My Uniden radar detector sticks to it like it's flypaper, but it's easy to lift off the detector and store while parked.  The tackiness of the material is amazing since it does not leave an material on the dash or the unit.  I'm interested to see how it holds up over time.  I had a tacky suction cup on a cell phone holder that turned to a sticky liquid mess after a year and a half.  I don't expect this to melt, but if it does I will update.  Highly recommended!  Way better than the suction cup windshield mount!

Question: Versatility and much more.

I couldn't ask for more out of program. It has really made me analyze my photography and how much I should have to adjust things to make the photo look how I would like. Mind you, it doesn't work miracles, but it has saved my ass on more than one occasion.
  The spot repair is a bit strange to use. I think it's meant to be used on smooth tones.
  The software runs very smoothly and I haven't had any glitches or crashes. I am using an HP laptop with an AMD quad core processor.
  Overall very happy with the software so far.

Fit is good and it looks good, too, BUT the material, though flexible and warm... is TOO warm. It doesn't breathe well. But for the money, it can be a pretty good value on cool mornings walking or biking. The outer covering does stop wind and the attached "fleece - like" inner material (same cloth, just different surfaces) is soft towards skin or inner layering. I like the tight neck, sleeves and waist elastic bands to keep wind from entering... next time i might just pay $100-150 more for the real thing...

My boyfriend has really been wanting a drinking horn, and his birthday is coming up soon; so I set out to find the perfect specimen. When I saw this tankard, the craftsmanship looked beautiful, and BONUS! the engraving matches his forearm tattoo! So i ordered it right away of course. When it arrived I immediately opened it (love the burlap by the way) and it was absolutely perfect. The finish is so smooth and the engraving is beautiful. I can't wait to see his reaction when he opens it.

Question: Excellent Winton Quality; Perfect Size Muffins

Exactly what I was looking for! Makes perfect sized almond flour biscuits (a serving is 2 of these minis, but sometimes I just want one) when the 6-well size is just a bit too much. Cleans easily with soap and hot water. I use a little nonstick spay even in my nonstick pans--stuff sticks when you least expect it to!--and the finished product slides right out onto the cooling rack. I wish I'd gotten one of these pans months ago. I love it!

I purchased this card soon after it was first released.  I loved the idea of what it could do and how it could simplify my photographic world.  It still works great, and I still use it, but I find myself hoping for more.

Like another reviewer below, I don't feel I can trust that 100% of my photos have transferred.  I find myself constantly reviewing the inventory on my computer with the inventory on my camera one by one before believing they're all there.  Do I just have trust issues?  No, I review one by one because I too have had photos not transfer and lost them.  I compulsively format the card after every review session (which corresponds to every major photo-taking event if I'm near enough to my computer) so that I don't have to re-confirm that every photo has been transferred multiple times.

Another application-specific gripe that I have is the way these photos are organized in iPhoto.  For whatever reason, photos uploaded via Eye-Fi are given one event per photo.  If I upload 50 pictures right now, I'll have 50 separate events all titled "August 6, 2009."  I've found myself actually removing the Eye-Fi card from my camera (*gasp!*) and connecting it to my laptop to pull images across.  Also, this card won't transfer videos taken on my digital camera, so before I reformat the card I want to be sure I didn't forget about those clips of the bride & groom's first dance or my nephew opening his first present on Christmas morning.

I'd recommend ponying up the extra cash and purchasing the newer release of cards from Eye-Fi.  They've addressed a number of issues I've seen in these reviews, and they allow you to purchase different features to meet your needs.  While I still love my current Eye-Fi card, I've got my sights on a newer model.

Update: I was informed that the iPhoto issue that used to create 1 event per photo uploaded was fixed in a Manager update in May.  Apparently I'm behind.

Question: A good introduction to these technologies with directions

A good introduction to these technologies with directions, almost like a basic user-friendly instruction manual.  It's all easy to read, and there are examples of how these technologies are used with a pedagogical argument for them.  My one concern is that while this author strongly advocates for the technologies and makes a strong case given our digital age, he kind of glances over the pitfalls which he acknowledges.  I do think there should be more there.  He runs paperless classes, but I personally don't think we are there yet, especially in the elementary grades, and there is also more and more evidence emerging that misuse/abuse/overuse of technology is having a detrimental effect on learning.  I would therefore advocate more balance than he does.  Students absolutely need tech skills, and these technologies, USED RIGHT, can be great tools.  I love technology, and this book will help educators understand these technologies better and guide them into beginning to use them.  At the same time, his VERY zealous advocacy for a paperless world and a bit too loose of an attitude, I think, around some of the cons (i.e. He even strongly advocates using social media in classrooms.) associated with these technologies should give us cause to pause.  Still, overall, a text I can recommend as a decent intro. to these technologies for educators.

Question: Life After Life worth a read

The content of the book is an eye opener to what may happen after one takes ones last breath, or during other life-ending circumstances.

A pretty nice little book.  Although there is a lot of good info here, the authors try to pack a lot of different kinds of info, which limits its usefulness.  There is a large section on drugs -- I already have my drug reference, though.  There are small sections on big diseases, but functionally, there is just not a lot of tips that give me info I don't otherwise already have at the bedside.  Pretty good on internal medicine, a little lacking in the critical care.

Question: they look nice and keep my feet warm between the bedroom and ...

Cheap slippers - which from the price, is what I expected.  But, they look nice and keep my feet warm between the bedroom and the kitchen - so, I don't know what else you'd need.

I ordered 3 pairs of these pants each varying in color and I am very satisfied with the quality of all 3. They give you the slim modern casual look and are very breathable with plenty of room around your pelvis. The inside pockets felt a lot thicker and more durable then your average chino\dress pants. These pants are also suited for formal wear More so the darker fabric. I would reccomned you to order a size up. If I was to order my normal size they would have been To tight. If your a 32-30 go with the 34-31.

Question: Cuts Well, Ruler Incorrect

I can successfully cut through 13 sheets of standard printer (20 lb) paper. I could have possibly gotten through more, but the blade carriage doesn't slide along the rail exceptionally smoothly, and squeaks from friction. It does work plenty well enough without catching in the middle of a cut.

I find the ruler is pretty accurate, precise enough for craft projects, except for one marking. The 11" mark is printed 0.25" lower than it should be, so it's actually at 11.25". I tested the angle markings, and they also seem accurate enough for home use, but it would be easier to line paper up if they were longer.

As advertised:  Dark lenses really only for welding.  I might try to swap in clear lenses later.  Will be buying the clear lensed version from Lee Valley soon...

Question: Well made but not comfortable on my short arm.

My phone fit in the armband but it was a tight fit. I have a Tech 21 case on the phone. Not that thick but it does add about a quarter inch all around. Having to work a bit to get the phone to fit was not a real problem and the material does stretch. This case is well made but before you order, make sure you have a fairly long arm. The problem is not the case but the Iphone 6S+. It's simply too big with the Tech 21 case to fit around my arm comfortably. A taller person with long arms might not have this problem.

I wish they had shown a picture of an actual dog in this thing. My dog goes to the small dog park and is only about half the size of what's allowed, so at best he's a medium size dog. This thing is for dogs no bigger than a cat. I should have checked dimensions before ordering because now there's a $10 charge to return it. But I assumed it would fit, so I screwed up. Pictures still would have been nice.

Question: Best book to open the windows in your brain

After 10+ years of reading the stories in this book, I still come away with a different level of understanding of each story with each passing year.  A master storyteller, Idries Shah's writing reaches right into the very thought processes that make you who you think you are and then snaps you into remembering who you really are on Earth and beyond.  Like an onion, the stories all have multiple layers. Only with time do they reveal themselves.  Good for the beginner as well as the most advanced --

I don't know the exact reason why, but it is a very pleasant feeling in drinking a coffee in this glass. A very good looking of a cup of coffee. Drink more coffee :)

Question: I really like the quick release cable plugs

FIVE STAR AMP!
The Alpine PDX-V9 is a very small footprint amp that is extremely versatile. I am using this to power my entire car including my subwoofer in the trunk. It has plenty of power and is very clean! There is no hissing which plagued the previous generation of PDX amps. Being a class-D efficient amp, it provides much less strain on your charging system than most other amps would. Also, since this amp is all-in one, you can use just a single power cable instead of linking up splitters..etc that cost extra money.
I priced out Highs amp and a Lows amp. it was a few hundred more plus the space needed for two amps was absurd.
I really like the quick release cable plugs. It makes for an easy removal. I also like the fact the connectors are on one side rather than opposite ends that add to the overall length. I never understood why manufacturers did that?? Another plus is the adjustments are on the opposite side of the connections and are located on th side, not the top. Locating the adjusters on the side is very helpful for underseat mountings like I have.

Pros:
Small footprint makes it capable of being installed anywhere
All-in-One...Runs 4 door speakers & a subwoofer with ease
Certified power card was higher than rated power(spec'd power is underrated fyi)
Sharp and sleek design
Very quiet noise floor. No on/off pop!

Cons:
Mounting options. I suppose with all amps you are limited, but since I installed this underneath my seat it made it a little more difficult. I ended up wedging a carpeted block to hold the amp. Not a huge upset, but I had to list something I didn't like.lol

I have this mounted in my 2016 WRX under the passenger seat. I have an Avic-8000NEX HU, Focal components in the doors and an old school Infinity Kappa Perfect 10" in the trunk in a custom fiberglass enclosure. I have 80 mil butyl, CCF and MLV on all the floor pans and in the trunk. I have 80 mil butyl and CCF on every single other part of the car including roof line. Trunk has all 3 layers. I am using Kickers 4ga wiring kit CK4, Stinger Pro RCA's, and Stinger 9 conductor wire. No sound processor or any other add-on device. Simple set-up with quality components.

Result: Sounds awesome. As good as I ever hoped it would. No need for too much power to overcome outside road noise or interior losses from a poorly insulated vehicle.

I paid $449 from Dealtastic and it came with a 1yr warranty. I see it is now available from other sellers for less with same 1yr warranty. If you buy from Auth reseller, expect to pay a few hundred more. I have not had any problems and this has been installed for 5 months now.

Dorsey wonders if her life can get any worse. Her handsome boyfriend Theo dropped off the radar. When Dorsey sees him again, he's wrapped around a cute, younger woman. After calling out a female corporate shark for dribbling, Dorsey gets fired by her.

Dorsey thinks about a Divorced Not Dead workshop. Her idea has three prongs:

"First, getting to a place where you feel good about who you are.

"Second, learning better ways to relate to someone else.

"And third, finding the courage to get back out in the dating world.

The fourth, unofficial component is to "desuckify men".

Dorsey's friends hound  er  encourage her to implement the idea.

Ms. Osgood's The Divorced Not Dead Workshop offers humor, fun, and zany comedy. Her wonderful writing style reminds me of Janet Evanovich's earlier works.

Question: You've heard it live, but what about the original?

Straight up.. Sarah is incredible..no doubt about it. But this song, played time and time again as a live audience single.. demands a hard listen or 50 .. it is the basis for all that is Sarah Mc.. the angel that sings and plays from the Great White North... her songs resonate like a gentle wind blowing powder puff clouds across the skies of Banff National Park. Sweet soulful songs.. and the occasional rocker as Sarah is known for... This song.. longer than the live version.. and without the degradation of audience noise and ambient harmonics... is just the tonic needed for the discerning ear. Beautiful, delicious .. and heart wrenching. Sing it Sarah.. over and over again.. Yes! I will remember you... forever.

Raised temp over 12 degrees in two weeks. Easy to cut and shape. Washes up easily after use. Very pleased with purchase.

Question: BEWARE:  their sizing chart is completely different from other companies

The quality on these shorts seems okay,  However, you need to be sure to check out their specific size charts.  I assumed the size was fairly standard, but they have a completely different sizing chart from the rest of the world (a huge negative against the company in my opinion).  Mine ended up being about 4 sizes too big.  It did not come with free returns, so I was out money.

Question: Tina gives us her "Best"

Tina Turner is one of the most well known vocalists of the rock era. Not only has she had a long career (she started singing in the late 1950s), but she has remained popular. I consider her more recent prominence a product of VH1 (before they stopped being a music channel). I watched her appearance on Behind the Music (numerous times), which gave me a clearer picture of how her life shaped her music. Of course, this 2-disc (!) set of music provides a picture clearer than any television show. As a long-time fan of her 80s and early 90s work, I knew I had to get this collection. But I truly had no idea how much great music she had made (and I guess you don't until you look at someone's work in concise packaging). This body of work is spread out over 33 tracks, and the songs work despite the lack of sequencing. The first disc opens with one of 3 new songs, "Open Arms", already a hit at AC radio. It further spans her career, from the classics "Nutbush City Limits" and "River Deep Mountain High", all the way to the anthemic "When the Heartache is Over". It also contains "The Best", which speaks for itself; the modern day classic "I Don't Wanna Fight", and her important covers of "Let's Stay Together" and "I Can't Stand the Rain". It's also nice to have the full version of "Goldeneye", which makes Tina a part of both musical and film history. The soundtrack cuts add to the value, and the disc closes with a cover of "Addicted to Love" (the lyrics are somewhat altered in the bridge, but it's not a big deal). After Disc 1, you might think, "Can  it get any better?" The answer is YES, it can: Disc 2 concentrates on Tina's big 80s hits and duets. Here we find the iconic songs: "What's Love Got to Do With It","Better Be Good to Me","Private Dancer", and the timeless pantheon, "Thunderdome". We are also treated to duets with Bryan Adams, David Bowie, and Eros Ramazotti (is his part in Italian?), which are all superb. "Typical Male" is mid-80s pop at it's peak, and "Steamy Windows" is deliciously bluesy. There are two new recordings as well. "Complicated Disaster" is modern yet enjoyable, but "Something Special" is nothing special; it's boring and repetitive. The music isn't bad though. Either way, it's nice to hear Tina record new music. The final song on the collection is "Something Beautiful Remains", which is true both of how you feel when you're done listening, and of Tina herself. But really, was there ever any doubt about this collection? A must for any Tina fan, hardcore or casual.

Used to line the drawers of my son's new dresser.  Dresser had wood pressboard bottoms which seemed to catch everything.  OK so I didn't buy a SOLID wood set.  Well, the bed set is solid something, but the drawers all have composite wood bottoms (like just about all furniture).  But it felt cheap.  So.  I tried to find some space themed paper to go with the room, stars? moon? sun? but couldn't find ANYTHING that was appropriate for a little boy room.  I did find this and figured it looked like a checkered flag or the warning bars on a spaceship.  It's a reach, but it looks really cute on the bottoms of the drawers and feels so much better than the pressboard.

Now if they could just make some that was dark blue with glow in the dark stars, we'd be rocking.  Why don't they have Con-Tact paper to match all the themed kid bedrooms.  At least somewhere in the vicinity of the popular ones.

The whole roll served for the drawers of one 6 drawer dresser.  There was about enough left over for one more drawer.  Lines on back are easy to follow.

Question: proximity sensor issues.

Everything went well when installing this. Until I turned the phone on. The cutout for the proximity sensor is too small and makes your phone think its in your pocket and immediately turnes the screen back off. And the screen cracks wayyyy too easily. While taking it back apart it cracked from above the ear piece down two inches to the side of the screen. The screen is not OEM. The lg logo at the bottom has obviously been blacked out. Want a refund but will probably be told to pound sand since its cracked now.

Sarah Palin might not have any real chance to ever become President, but the impact she has had on people and the political agenda is definitely enough justification for a book like this (that and the fact that she's odd enough to be entertaining). The general view among those of us in Europe that find US domestic politics interesting enough to care, is probably very close to the author's. Despite Sarah Palin's unintentional qualities as entertainer, I'd feel safer the day she is removed from the political scene. This is a book that in most countries would've guaranteed just that; if ten percent of it is true, it'd mean that Sarah Palin is not only crazy - she's mean and deceitful too.

Question: I would highly recommend this for the do it youselfer's out there

After being frustrated going to a jewelry store to get my watch batteries changed, I decided to do it myself.  I viewed a couple of YouTube videos to see how it was done.  Then I went looking for a tool kit.  Ohuhu does the trick.  I got all my watches going in about a week along with some watch band shortening.  (I had to wait on a battery.)  The price was right for the tools I got.  Just the right tools to change batteries and band links!  I would highly recommend this for the do it youselfer's out there!!  Also, a great value for the money!!

Just received this knife yesterday and my initial thoughts are that this knife is well worth the money.  First off, it's a beautiful knife (not as big as I thought it would be, which I see as a good thing).  The fit and finish on this knife is flawless and it's super comfortable in my hand.  Both edges of this blade are razor sharp as well.  The sheath leaves a bit to be desired, though.  I do like the pouch on it, but the Velcro straps need to be changed out to snaps.  Once I am able to get and test the durability I will report on my findings, but right out of the box, I'm really impressed (my wife commented on how my face literally lit up when I unboxed this beauty).  Andy Tran is the man and kudos to Tops for making this high quality blade!

Works ok, with my Macbook Pro. I do see the mouse get a bit jumpy from time to time and I have had to move it to the USB port on the right to get the external HD attached to the hub to work.

Hilarious, great animation -- the best of Nick Park's Wallace & Gromit shorts, but much better than other films associated with Aardman animation -- Flushed Away, The Pirates!, Chicken Run, etc. (Chicken Run would get 4 stars from me. 3 stars for the other two.)

Amazingly, there is no recognizable dialogue. It almost works like a silent film (except, of course, that it's not silent).

Pacing is great, animation is wonderful, soundtrack is terrific.

If you like cheap romance novels void of any literary value, here you go. Cheesy and shallow. But run, don't walk away from this one if you like intelligent, well crafted stories and pensive character development in a movie.

This is a very nice bag with too much space that is not always a plus since you could end up adding more and more to it. The zippers are holding up under daily use. I purchased it so I can carry my Macbook pro 17" and it fits nicely with plenty of room around it. Like 5.11 stuff.

Good for home recording on a budget. The PG81 condensers are crisp and clean and all other mics do a fine job. Not for Pro recording but if you can't afford at least $2,000 and up for much better sounding mics this is definitely a good buy. Someone gave this a 2 star rating; that means he has not looked around like I did. When he gets his pro mics I hope that he posts his price he paid for them and if they are new or used.

Question: Not happy about what I found using this light

Not happy about what I found using this light, however learned that the puppy is not fully house trained.. LOL

In today's world where civility, kindness, and generosity have often been replaced by rudeness, cynicism, conflict, and self-absorption, Mike Robbins offers us a delicious and refreshing reminder of the power of appreciation. This book is both beautifully written, and easy to read.  It reminds us that happiness is difficult to come by in a "culture of complaint." But the simple act of consciously focusing on what is good, noticing what we have to be grateful for, and offering appreciation to others can magically transform our lives and our hearts.  The Power of Appreciation offers a much-needed reminder of the spiritually uplifting experience gained by simply cultivating an enduring sense of gratitude.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

The quality of this necklace for the price is amazing.  Sadly, it just does not look good on my neck or my loved one's neck. It does look good hanging on my jewelry case.

This converter works just as promised.  So far I have converted a number of old 35mm slides and the digital results show well on the computer.

Question: They have great sound quality

These work really well.  They have great sound quality, no blue tooth connection issues and they stay in my ears when I jog.  They feel slightly bulky but I am pretty happy with them.

I bought this for my daughter who is 9 years old for a event (PAX Prime).  She is about 4'8" tall and about 90 lbs.  The medium is a little big for her but that's what we wanted - room to grow.  A small would fit perfectly but not much room and we wanted it to last for a couple of years.  The costume is fantastic & very high quality.  With a few stitches and pins it will fit perfectly now and next year I'll let it out and down for another year of great use.

It comes with everything you'll need except shoes and the Leek.  It showed a leek but we didn't get one and that's fine as it would another thing for her to carry around (actually I would end up carrying it).  We knew shoes did not come with it.

She is VERY happy and excited to wear it!

I did contact customer service to see if they could ship it a bit faster and they were quick to respond and set it out the next day!  We will buy more from them - my son is amazed and now wants to get a costume for PAX as well.

Thank you!!

My review for: The Handbook of Kisses & Curses by Molly Harper
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Shanna Roberson

Before I begin this review let me say that Molly Harper is my go to writer when I really need a smile and a chuckle. Her snarky sense of humor is one of a kind and it gets me every time.

The Handbook of Kisses & Curses is no exception. It is a heartfelt, feel good paranormal romance that had me giggling to the end. With many twists and turns, it was one I had to force myself to put down but that is no surprise to me. I devour all of Molly's books, normally in one sitting if pesky things like dinner or sleep aren't getting in the way.

In true Half Moon Hollow fashion, not everyone is what they seem. And when you get a witch, some very snarky vampires, a centuries old supernatural feud and mix them up in the Hollow? You get a very addictive, feel good read that is impossible to put down!

Molly Harper never disappoints and I hope to see more of Nola and Jed in the future! I just adore Jane and the gang and this is one universe I will never get enough of!!

Question: Truly Effective and Life-Changing

Materialism is stealing our wealth, and thats not just cash. Our energy, our self-concept, our environment, our planet, all these things represent our wealth and our health. Marie Kondo has done the work for us and given us a technique for really determining what material possessions matter to us as individuals. It could only lead to further refinement in other areas of our lives, but especially in our consumption of goods. Not only does she encourage us to take very good care of the items we love, her methods ensure that we only ever buy the items we need and that truly bring us happiness. Processing the past and losing our fears of the future are the liberating effects of honestly dealing with the stuff in our homes. Once you've done it, though, it creates a great peace and sense of elevation and clarity in all aspects of your life. You can tackle the other challenges with so much more ease.

Perfectionism appears to be what some people expect of others but spare from themselves. Just look through the reviews here. Some people cannot forgive her this concept. Yes, she says to strive for perfection in this task. She doesnt say that we should become virtuous in mind, body, and soul, just that we should aim for it when clearing out clutter. We all know that this is hard, but emptying every drawer of its useless contents is not the same as becoming excellent in all areas of our lives or mastering some complex skill. It might, however, alleviate some of the mediocrity in our lives.

To the reviewers who took an abnormal psychology class once: Claims to OCD are outlandish. Read more carefully, in general. She writes that she spends one hour once or twice a year clearing out her own space. It brings her joy. Even a qualified psychologist searching for a disorder to attach to her to further his or her own career wouldnt come to this conclusion. She writes of her experiences over a very long period of time, and not to express a pathological obsession or to talk about herself, but to illustrate the various techniques she applied with great interest and hope. The conclusions she reached after many years of personal research are difficult to accept, but correct. Youve got to deal with your stuff. All of it. Thats actually pretty healthy, grounded, and optimistic.  That she comes home and spends 5 minutes putting her things away is far more elegant than tossing your investment into some dirty corner and slumping down on the sofa or in front of your computer for the rest of the night.

What really makes this book stand out is not just that she comes to the right conclusion on how to deal with clutter, but that she wrote it with so much joy. That makes it a very powerful message that is universally appealing. Personally, I love the Shinto theme that ties it all together. As a Shinto shrine maiden, at one time considered to be a shamanic role, she really gets the idea of what effects energy around us has on our well-being. I know from doing the work she teaches that you can change your life by clearing out the things that drag you down, the noise that distracts from clear thinking, the ties to the past that make you fear the future. You can elevate your own energy by living with only those personal possessions that make you happy.

I found this book at the University of Calif. in Davis and was highly recommended by them. But it wasn't till I saw their review in [a] magazine that I bought it. My greenhouse business took a complete turn around. My profits went up last year by 5oo%. There are hundreds of money making ideas. The best and cheapest ways to do just about everything. I like the way it tells you every thing you need to know to get a buyer to buy them and I could not believe it till I tried it. The author covers so many ways to promote including the internet, making videos, and how to grow what is needed. The chapters on building a greenhouse showed me the difference between steel and wood, and gothic and hoop. When you need a cooling system and when you can just use curtains to let cross ventilation in. The greenhouse that the author designed is the newest one I have built. The directory in the back has pages of buyers and the best supply companies all over the USA is worth more than the book price. Being a true enviormentalist I was delighted when I found that all use of poisons have been omitted and only natural ways of insect distruction are given. Since a clean greenhouse has very little insect problems I have found that he is right, poisons not needed! Even some real good ideas concerning what to grow first to make some fast money are included. If you are considering going into a business requiring a greenhouse...READ THIS BOOK FIRST. There is just SO much valuable info here. Well worth the price if your not lazy!

I used these labels for bridal shower favors and they came out great. So much cheaper than buying personalized favors! The webaite you use has a good selection of clip art to use on the labels. And it also sets up your printer for printing on the labels. The only tricky part was figuring out which way the labels needed to go in my printer. I will definitely buy again!

The "wireless" option simply does not work.  I have tried to make the Wifi work with all sorts of connections and all sorts of devices with all different operating systems.  The only positive is I gained some very advanced programming skills from the hours upon hours of trying to get this piece of crap to work.

Oh, and now the printer suddenly decided to only connect to Windows lap tops (only by USB), which is fun when you own a Mac...

This is not your father's pop-up book! My son received this as a gift, but all of us in the family have been through it before he's had a chance, and we are in complete awe. I could not believe that art like this is even possible. Oh, and I learned something about dinosaurs too. I think the last time I was interested in dinosaurs, some of the theories and discoveries were quite different.

You do have to watch out, with enthusiastic children, that they learn to be gentle with the pages and especially the little sub-pages that are tucked into little corner pockets. Our book has survived a 6-year-old's browsing (after a bit of preparation)

The pop-ups don't just offer a third dimension, many of them follow an action, such as snapping or attacking or eating, while you open the page. A good way to keep the book from over-opening is to read it on a table or desk, since it seems pretty stable when open a full 180 degrees, but there will be some angle beyond that - at which the pop-ups could be damaged.

Question: Even the length is perfect. It arrived very quickly and keeps her nice ...

This size fits a 5 pound terrier-maltese mix.  It looks darling on her. Even the length is perfect.  It arrived very quickly and keeps her nice and warm.

My wife was looking for a Bluetooth speaker. Unfortunately, no stores we could find either had the HK Onyx Studio and the Bose SoundLink III in stock or on display for us to do a direct comparison, so I had no choice but to order both to do a side-by-side comparison. These are my findings...

The devices that were used for the purposes of this comparison are ;

- Nokia Lumia Icon (Windows Phone)
- Samsung Note 4 (Android Phone)
- iPad Pro (Apple Tablet)

Most reviews seem to deal mostly with either functionalist or practicality whereas I am always mostly interested in the sound. Suffice it to say that in regards to functionality, there were absolutely no issues whatsoever in operating either the Bose or the HK speakers as they were both simplistic in their design and can be operated by even my wife who tends to be somewhat techno-shy.

In regards to practicality, the only fault I can give to each speaker is their shape. The HK is much too big which makes it rather cumbersome and not as portable. Finding a shelf for it might be a bit of a challenge considering the large amount of real-estate it might need. Please note that the HK is not flat in the back but rather dome-shaped, just like its front. Whereas the HK is large, the Bose is almost half its size making it much more portable, even within the confines of one's home. However, it does need to be to in a standing position. For those with pets and/or children (or clumsy spouses), the chances of the Bose being knocked down are quite high, which probably explains the huge amount of Bose speakers with cosmetic damage that I've seen for auction. To rectify this, Bose has come out with a cover, but that is an additional expense for users. I'd much rather see a slight redesign instead.

SOUND :

The HK:

- Great sound dispersion
- Fills up a room quite nicely
- Very loud!
- Nice higher-end (AKA treble)
- Detailed midrange
- Bass-shy (in comparison to the Bose)

The Bose:

- Much better bass response
- Faster speaker
- Slightly recessed midrange (although I don't enjoy this, most people do)

Both speakers are loud enough to fill up a good-sized room, though the task seems easier for the Onyx. My wife and I chose the HK Onyx as having the better sound, overall. However, the difference isn't entirely night-and-day. It's easily perceivable but in the end, it depends on your tastes. These aren't audiophile by any means, so they'll do a passable job of playing organic music like classical and jazz, but they're better suited at playing anything contemporary. Nevertheless, both companies have accomplished quite a feat of engineering by having such small devices sound so much bigger than they look!

It might seem as if my wife picked the HK but in reality, she stuck with the Bose. Why? It's much more portable if we decide to bring it for a picnic and can easily fit anywhere where there is only a small amount of space. It easily fits in any drawer, too! For practical reasons, my wife opted for the Bose, but in reality, there isn't a bad answer as they're both capable devices.

Question: Does exactly what it says...

This holds my hanging baskets of strawberries perfectly!  I wouldn't put anything as heavy as tomato plants on here (like a topsy-turvy) because this says it's only meant to hold up to 35 lbs.

The device is great for whatever it is intended.  I just don't use it.  I am not a professional photographer.  I love my Fuji X100 and love to have complete sets of things.  I just don't use it...

Question: I bought mine about 18 months ago and it is easy to push

It is truly an okay vacuum cleaner. I bought mine about 18 months ago and it is easy to push, light weight, and usable.  However, I am currently shopping around for a different vacuum, because I still don't feel as though it is "sucking" up as much as it could.  My carpets just don't look at clean with this vacuum as it did with my Dyson.

I was assigned this book by my college instuctor so I had not much say in this.  But this book does nothing to make sure that the subject is conveyed properly, and fails almost every time when giving an example.  It is written in a very unorganized manner, and is all over the place.  It also contains many factual errors. Please avoid if you can.

Question: Good unit, but watch out for cold temps.

So far, so good. Installation went well and it delivers piping hot water almost immediately (is on the outside of a small cabin where the unit is very close to the actual plumbing fixtures). The only caveat would be that we had to use both heat tape and pipe insulation on the unit, as it froze up with outside temps in the teens; did not see anything to that effect in the instruction manual. Will probably end up boxing it in and insulating.

The Adventures of Ellie the Elephant have been among my five-year-old son's most requested books at bedtime, and now his three-year-old brother is starting to latch onto them as well! We'll often read them every night for spans of over a week at a time. The real-world photography provide intriguing yet accessible imagery for them to examine and interpret, and when combined with the soft storytelling, they have a much-needed calming affect on otherwise busy little boys. Best of all, the books encourage them to create their own stories using his own toys.

Ellie's Fun Day at the Farm teaches a valuable lessons about how our food is produced and the inner workings of farm life. The story has inspired my children to grow their own gardens and provides motivation for my picky eaters to explore more foods at the dinner table. My five-year-old son in particular gets very engaged with the story every time we read it, and he often "reads" the story to himself based on the images alone.

Question: Saved Newly Laid Coral Stone Floor

We had just finished laying a new gorgeous coral stone floor at the entrance of the headquarters of a large client;  Coral stone is very porous material.  This floor had not even been sealed yet when disaster struck.  The roofing contractor spilled a 5 gal. bucket of scalding hot tar right on it.  We started immediately to carefully remove/scrape  away the excess tar but it was leaving behind a huge and ugly patch of tar embedded inn it.  It looked like the floor was ruined for good.  I thought the client was going to die and we were looking at a potentially very costly repair (e.g. removal, new labor, material, delays, etc) and possibly legal issues.

While the moaning and apologies were going on and without wasting any time, I had 4 one gal cans of Goof Off brought from a local store and immediately poured and spread one can on the tar.  You could see it starting to work right away lifting and dissolving the mess.  It was then mopped and the operation repeated 3 more times.  By the end of this process, the floor looked like new.  Actually, the client was impressed by our resourcefulness as he was convinced that nothing could have been done to save his floor.

At the end of the day, the entrance to the building looked gorgeous again and we had a happy - although perhaps a little stressed out - client.

Goof Off may not work on every situation but it has helped me many times and it may work when nothing else will.

Look great! Wife likes them. Good quality. Seems a hair small. Bought the same size as her jeans for her but they are a little snug, not enough to exchange.

Absolutely love this product I have been wearing them now for over six months and they are still firm/ strong and not worn. I do wear the  insert every day for approx 10-13 hrs. I had plantar fasciitis and  it has reduced my inflammation in my heel.  I highly recommend these inserts.

Question: good if you do not like bulky cases

I honestly bought this product on  a whim, but I have to say it is awesome it's small and not bulky  so it doesn't annoy me when I have it in my pocket
and it protects my phone mildly. Mildly because while it does keep the sides nice and safe the screen is kept unguarded

I bought this book as a gift for a family member. So I cannot give a specific review of this book. However, I have followed Vicki in her Spiritual Direction.com Book Club activities and she is a very focused and engaging coordinator of that activity. If this book is comparable in the level of energy and insight she brings to her role at Spiritual Direction's book club, this book should offer a very valuable contribution in your pilgrimage to our Heavenly abode.

Question: Great toner- great value

There seem to work really well, but also seem to make a noise if that is possble.

Based on the evil history of this world due to war and hate, this read reminds us as a human race to be kind to each other as we press on. As it has been said over and over, men are all equal no matter what race, creed or religion they are. No one is superior to the other! Slavery and the Holocaust should be a never ending subject taught throughout the lives of everyone so that we never forget and so that we learn from the mistakes of the past. Take care of one another, God and our Lord Jesus Christ is love.

Question: Great sound, excellent price & nice features.

Great sound and comfortable fit on the ears.  I love the fact that the cord is detachable and, thus, replaceable.  Very nice touch to ship with 2 cords - one shorter, one longer - both with inline mics.

Overall - 4 stars for a very nice product at an excellent price!

Am learning a metric butt ton, although I have to put it down and come back to it often. But it is enjoyable.

Question: Not exactly "sport" socks but still great!

The material of these socks is a little more thin than I expected but still great coverage. They are a little slick as well which cases my foot to slide inside my shoe a bit. I would not consider these "sport" socks since they don't help your foot stay put in your shoe and will potentially cause calluses. For a normal sock, however, they are great and will fit the bill for every day use!

Question: Not flattering at all

The write up described it as Lite Yellow. As mentioned by someone else, the color is a mustard color, drab and dull. The sizing must be for Asian people because it ran small a 3X fit like  2X .

I bought this model for a friends Birthday, he has been working on it a little bit each day. He likes it a lot and enjoys the challenge as it does require a certain skill level as there are a lot of tiny pieces. But my friend is very meticulous and he brings tiny little tires or part of the tiny motor part and shows me how he detailed it with paint. He has done enough models prior to this one, he now paints parts before he assembles them. He is very happy with this model and has been since the day he opened it.

Question: Don't skimp on your head gasket

I replaced the head gasket twice on our Camry.  The first time I used the gasket in the kit I got which included head bolts and all other needed gaskets. (Still worth getting the kit, just don't use the head gasket.)  The gasket in that kit was not nearly as good as the Fel-Pro gasket and immediately leaked coolant out of the rear left corner.  The car ran fine as the leak was only external on that corner.  I replaced the gasket with the Fel-Pro gasket a few weeks later and it has been good ever since.

Question: My only complaint about this is that it isn't super reflective. It operates really more as a shade ...

I bought the X-Large and it is almost too big to fit in my GMC Terrain (small-midsized SUV), and would likely fit bigger vehicles as well. The thing can be a little tricky to close up, but usually only takes me a couple seconds of twisting, and once compacted it is less than a foot in diameter. My only complaint about this is that it isn't super reflective. It operates really more as a shade than a reflector in my opinion, but it does block out sunlight completely.

I love engaging wit from the likes of Sedaris or Lawson, but couldn't connect with the author's 'humor' that seemed a bit contrived. Honestly, I didn't finish it when my TBR pile has delectables that await. And given the price of $11.99, come on. That was the kicker. I might not work on Wall Street, but with a grad school ed, I'm not dense. The editorial reviews claimed gold and seriously, I've read funnier for far less. Returned for refund and I'm not a hateful shrew or I would've clicked one star to make a point.
But hey, each reader is different. Give it a go and form your own opinion.

Question: Read product specifications

They are longer than a 1157 light bulb so they wouldn't fit.  However if i had read the product specifics then taken the housing apart, put a straight edge across it and run a skinny tape in to measure from the base of the bulb housing out to the straight edge then i would have known it wouldn't fit.  Or just state in the description that its  x amount longer than the 1157 your hoping to replace? Then i would have known much quicker it wouldn't work.  On a positive note with the lense cover off i was able to test the bulb. Looks very cool and is extremely bright

Is is a great purchase can see in complete dark but the only problem is the cap is removable and can be lost easliy i cant find anywhere to buy it

Question: A little Jewish girl's tale of survival in Germany in the 1930's

The beginning of the story of a little Jewish girl in Lodz, and later ghetto in the 1930's, and how she was helped to survive by family and friends.

Jennifer Turner transforms the usual paranormal romance novel into an intense, emotional and passionate  love story.

Toni is scarred, still battling the grief over losing her family in a brutal and violent attack.  Guilt ridden over not being there and distraught over never getting one last chance to tell her family how much she loved them, she vows to always wear her heart on her sleeve.  No one in her life will ever have to wonder about how she feels because she will always show them with conviction and clarity.  There is nothing ambiguous about Toni and that's how she likes it.

Drake is guarded, closing himself off to anyone who might get too close.  Using sarcasm and wit as a barrier, he keeps everyone at a distance, including Toni.  He knows that her heart aches for her family.  Charged with the duty of protecting her, he quickly finds that his need to keep her safe has little to do with his job description. And though it is forbidden due to his assignment and he has vowed never to fall for another female vampire, he can't help but want to get close to Toni.  But to do that, he will have to let down his guard which means he will have to risk having his heart broken.  Again.

Drake and Toni start out on rocky ground but soon discover that their passion is burning up and the intensity of their emotions overflow into the attraction they have for one another.

Of course, there is more to this novel than just a love story but for me, it's timeless.  The story of Drake and Toni can stand alone without the other elements that are included in this novel.  That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the rest of the story.  The suspense and drama only added to the intensity and I had a really hard time putting this book down.

Question: Good tools for a happier life!

I just recently spent 10 days in Virginia visiting family and I read your book while I was there. It was very timely - I am having a huge issue with how I react to everyday challenges. It is very true that how you react makes all the difference in what your experience of life becomes. You do an amazing job of laying out tools for us to train ourselves to let go and react differently. I've always tried to live by Louise Hay's policy - to release others to experience that which is meaningful to them and let yourself experience that which is meaningful to you. But, I was never very good at it. Now I have some practical tools from you! Thank you!

Certainly a good movie for anyone in healthcare to watch. It shows what it is like to be a patient, the helplessness, the feeling of powerlessness, the loss of dignity - all of which are things patients can feel or experience. I wish doctors had to watch this movie before they finish med school because it might just give them something to think about in the way they approach patients. William Hurt was wonderful in his portrayal of the doctor who finds he has cancer of the vocal chords, and suddenly experiences what it is like to be the vulnerable patient instead of the powerful and arrogant physician he was prior to his humbling and frightening experience as a cancer patient. An excellent film!

Question: Does not work correctly on the IPad.

When viewed on my iPad it looks like the book is enlarged and much of the picture is cut off.  Very disappointing.

(2/12/08 edit: Remember, depending on when you read this, either her upcoming, current or previous album is now under the Evangelista moniker. A "Carla Bozulich" search of this site does not catch Hello, Voyager)

I spent most of the past 10 days feeling sore and sick. Basically the flu but without the bad things spurting out of my upper and lower regions. I had body aches so bad I almost cried at one point while trying to pull up my pants.

That's alot of personal information for an album review, but it gets me to my point. I spent alot of time on the couch wishing I was dead. One of those unfortunate moments found me clicking through the tv stations and stumbling upon a Reba McEntire version of Fancy on CMT. Wow. I didn't think I could feel worse, but her wretched version of this great song surely proved I could. Is it just me, or is anyone else here consistently astounded at how vapid, dry, trite and stupid you have to be to be a superstar? In other words, our beloved Carla and her old band, the Geraldine Fibbers, will continue to live in obscurity because they've got too much going on for the mainstream.

Later that day when I worked up the energy to properly go to bed, I popped in Get Thee Gone, partly to flush the horrible Reba Fancy out of my mind, and partly because the rest of this album is great as well. Of course in the past couple months, Carla, Jolie Holland, Bob Dylan and some Nels Cline albums are just about all I've been listening to anyway (oh along with Bjork's newest and worst album ever, Volta), so that was part of it.

On the one hand, Carla has grown by leaps and bounds in the years since Get Thee Gone... I mean just listen to the deep, psychotic, and totally American Evangelista... a world you step into, not a collection of songs. On the other hand, Get Thee Gone has lost nothing in the intervening years. This is one heck of a strong collection of songs that straddle the imaginary lines partitioning honky tonk, post-punk and dreary downer rock. Actually they don't straddle anything. They firmly are those things simultaneously.

If Carla happens to play Outside of Town when the Evangelista troupe treks through my neck of the woods later this year, she'll make this one Indiana rube quite happy.

Question: This product was terrible

Let me just start by saying if you are looking forward to having a BLACK colored headset, you are out of luck with this third party seller. When I recieved this product which took over a week to get it was white when it should be black. It did not come in retail packaging just a thin orange bag. Not to mention its the old model headset that has the volume control toward the end of the wire. Also where the wire leads into the ear piece the wires are showing. So if you are looking to save, you'd be better off paying a little more somewhere else.

Fun, Colorful, Functional. These are excellent grips for those who grip or push too hard. Also increase writing comfort for those with mildly arthritic hands.

Question: Pfaltzgraff 16-pc. Cayman Dinnerware Set

The dinnerware set has a beautiful pattern and looks nice in the picture. Read all the information on these though. They don't recommend soaking in water and are not dishwasher safe as the ceramic will craze and chip. The plates and cups are not finished on the bottoms and are porus and will soak up water causing the problem. We ordered 3 sets and there were broken plates in every set. The plates are very fragile and poorly packaged, so order extra. Then wait for several weeks to get a refund or replacement. I would not recommend these for everyday use but sure would look nice sitting on a display shelf.

This book was recommended by my brother and I believe anyone can learn a great deal from the thought process described in this book.

Question: Gorgeous, razor sharp, unsafe opening, uncomfortable to carry

The good things:  very attractive piece, love the black blade, appears to be great quality and the finish and edge would probably last a long time.

The reason it is back in the mail and being returned today:  Absolutely unsafe.  Even after reading all the forum posts and reviews, trying everything mentioned, it does not open correctly.  4/5 times when I push forward on the tab to open it, it does not open completely.  When it does not open completely, it springs back.  When it springs back you get a gash on the tip of your thumb.  Got me once, my bad I am learning.  Got me twice, defective and will not keep.

Other item to note:  not comfortable to carry in your pocket using the clip.  The abrasive nature of the non skid area of the handle, the sharp end on the pocket clip, and the crazy sharp edges on the thumb tabs all combine to scrape all the way down the back side of your hand when trying to retrieve something like a pair of keys or a cell phone from that pocket.  If you have a pocket where this can be the only thing in it, then it would be great.  But the only comfortable way to carry is it laying in the bottom of your pocket.

I was a bachelor living by myself when my sister gave me this book. I've always liked cooking, but hated cooking for just me because anything worth making is worth making in abundance. Even though I'm married now, I still have the book and I use it from time to time when my wife is out of town or I want to experiment with making something without many vegetables, as I think most men do. The board book's pages clean up easily in case the inner undomesticated barbaric caveman comes out and splashes the ingredients all over the book. Overall a great introduction to cooking for any man who needs some training wheels.
