Question: One the best books on Warren Buffet value investing

One of the very best books that tries to explain Warren Buffett's approach to value investing.  Unlike most "Buffett" authors, she stays true to the essence of Warren Buffet, and emphasizes solid financials before looking at price, etc.  Other authors stray from the Buffett path by trying to apply his method to technology stocks, overlook the fundamentls and focus on price history and movements (doh!).  Mary is stays true and is thorough.
The good:  Mary Buffett is very specific about what factors she believe Warren Buffet considers whe selecting a stock, and she gives examples and lots of info to explain it.
The "could be better":
1) She is so close, but does not give precise formulae for each factor, or uses a vague term at a critical spot.  It took me many weeks and many more books to fill in the gaps to where I could develop a complete analysis of a stock.
2)  It would be a great assist to give an example of how to use a data source such as Value Line to plug into her analysis steps.  Formulae and data elemts from a specified source would make this book priceless.
As solid and treu to Buffett as this book is, I cannot believe Mary Buffett didn't follow-up with a website, newsletter service, analysis software, speaking engagements, etc.  She has divulged more specifics about warren Buffett's value investing method then anyone else I could find, yet has not pursued the real cash cows that could come from it.
Read this book a few times, and carefully work through to develop the complete calculations (don't be lazy now!), combine it with a 90-day trial of Value Line and you will be able to quickly filter hundreds of stocks down the best values for the next year!
My highest recommendation for an investing book other than Warren Buffett's writings and the books by his mentor Graham.  Get this with Graham's The Intelligent Investor, read Warren's Letters To Investors at berkshirehathaway.com, and you will have a solid value foundation!

Works as advertised. Only takes about 5 watts each bulb and is more than bright enough, its been about a month and  its worked well so far, I only hope it lasts a long time.

Question: Fine, not as effective as I hoped.

Okay but not as effective on solid stains. Bought it to address old cat vomit and periodic pee/poop accidents. It definitely helps, but stains still remain.

Do just what they're supposed to. Light but sturdy. Case is nice too. Good value.

Question: A different kind of bad guy

The Bones of Others takes a look at a different kind of bad guy. Rather than going after demons, vampires, or werewolves, Skye Cree, the heroine of the story attacks human trafficking. Its an intriguing approach and one that immediately had me rooting for Skye and her cause, especially since Skye was a victim with a powerful back story.

This story started out with an edge, introducing Skye as mysterious, slowly unraveling her past through a potential love interest named Josh Ander. Josh helps her search for her the person who brutalized her years before, becoming much more way too fast. For someone with a sexually tormented past like Skyes, I would have liked to see romance move slower. It would seem more realistic.

Skyes spirit guide gave the story an interesting supernatural element that worked plausibly throughout the story, but at times seemed too convenient. The scene Im thinking of is when Skye and Josh set out alone after the person who tortured Skye years earlier. I would have liked to see a number of things happen in that scene that did not. For example, I would have liked to see Skye fight this man shed come to hate for the past thirteen years. The book built a mountain of potential for that scene and when it didn't meet my expectations; I was let down. The rest of the story followed sure predictable outcomes where the bad guys got their deserving desert of justice without much of a fight.

The Bones of Others is a heroic one addressing the topic of human trafficking and the pedophilias behind it walking less obvious professions in life including that of a cop, a guy meant to protect and serve. This story is set in Seattle, Washington, a place where human trafficking has become problematic enough to warrant an organization to fight the issue called the SAS, Seattle Against Slavery.

Vickie Mckeehan, is brave in tackling this saddening issue and The Bones of Others is certainly worth reading. It has a kick butt protagonist to root for, and some dangerously hot love scenes for those who like romance.

LED strip works well. I used this item on a 60" TV and I probably would have gotten better results had I gotten the longer strip.  Not as bright as depicted in the rainbow color photos.  This strip was long enough to go across the top of the TV, but did not go down the sides.

Question: Can't do without this.

I love this litter scoop. The one I had broke. I had a spare, but it was too small and broke like the other. When I found this scoop I ordered two. The size and strength of the handle is great. With three cats and two very large cat boxes; it was perfect.

I've heard other reviewers claim that this controller doesn't control their speed well. I have no complaints. It seems sensitive enough to help you dial in settings at small, almost imperceptible, increments. I noticed that at first it doesn't seem to make a difference but it will slowly get you the setting you desire. Let's face it, it's hard at first to tell the difference between say 500 to 550 RPM. It builds the speed slowly but surely.

Question: Excellent Inexpensive Webcam - Easy to Use and Set Up

It is a very fine inexpensive webcam. It is plug and play with Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8 Preview. It is plug and play with every Mac OS from 10.5 up and plug and play with Linux Ubuntu/Mint variants (probably others, I just didn't test them). When I say plug and play, I mean no driver downloads, no software installs, nothing. Audio and video. I work in IT; this camera is about as universally compatible as they come. Video quality is fine with a decent frame rate, resolution, contrast and sharpness. Audio is crisp and intelligible. Low light quality more than adequate and better that the built-in cam on my MacBook. No, it is not broadcast quality, nor is it HD, but it is more than adequate for Skype, Google Voice/Video Chat, or recording SD vids for YouTube. The stand is a stand and not a clip, so it will not attach securely to a laptop, but it works adequately with all the desktops and laptops I've tested it with (6 setups). For the price, this product is a good choice.

Once again, Jasper Scott gave me an excellent reason to post another glowing review. Dark Space: Origin is yet another superbly crafted novel. It brought many of the questions and mysteries to resolution in an outstanding creshendo of carefully crafted storylines. Thank you!

Question: Works for BlackMagic Pocket

I bought this memory card to try with the black magic pocket camera and it works ! Will buy more soon !

I thankfully only paid $48 and change for this art print.  It's now selling for $184, and I can say it is definitely NOT worth that.  The frame is really nice, I'm very happy with it, but the print itself isn't quite what I had hoped for.  The "lines" that signify the boards in the print, they very clearly look as if they have been drawn on.  The art would have looked much nicer had they left those out and just made a print of the two Blue Herons.  The coloring on the art is nice, very true to the picture.  Perfect for a smoky blue or a gray wall.  I will use this until I find something I like better.  But beware, the $184 they are asking for it now is NOT realistic for this.

Question: Different theme brings different surprises

This album brings about a different feel to the whole Saw series and I love it! Previously, it was all rusty and industrial. Now, it's heavy and gothic. Can't wait for Saw VI!

I received an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The Boy From The Woods by Jen Minkman will be published on December 1, 2013.

Rating: 3.5 stars

This book was very interesting. It had a unique plot that I couldn't help but love.

Julia has had a crush on Michael for years. He's popular and arrogant. She thanks her lucky stars when he shows interest in her at their senior prom. After a few dates they have sex and she leaves his place holding on to the promise that he'll call back and take her on another date, only...it never happens.

It's obvious that he used her and Julia starts her summer heartbroken. When on a run through the woods towards her favorite oak tree she finds Michael on the ground with his motorbike next to him.

When he first opens his eyes all he knows is Julia. Once his memories return all he wants is her. What brought the change? I had some ideas but I wasn't prepared for the ultimate sobbing at the end.

I knew where the story was going and how it was going to end but I couldn't help but hope that it would be a happily ever after ending.

The only complaints I have is I was extremely confused at the beginning. It jumped in to quick for me. That, and I wish there was more Julia and Michael interactions. Most of the book seems to be about her staying away and then there's not as much of their time together.

Loved the book though, it tore at my heartstrings. It was sweet, sad, and beautiful.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hug an oak tree and hope a boy comes out of it...

Nice shoes a size smaller than I thought.  I got what I asked for, which is important.  I now know to go up a half size!

Love it! Saved my furniture!  My cat got on it before I even unwrapped it! There is a dangle toy underneath too!

Question: Great low carb choice

I love, love this stuff. So many recipes come on the box. It was a game changer for me. Has its own unique taste, but I love it. I make big fluffy biscuits with it that the family loves.

I ordered this camera because it's just like the one I bought years ago, so when it failed, I wanted another one just like it because it performs well. Since Kodak no longer supports it and could not repair it, I got a used one from Bob's Cameras in the Amazon Marketplace. After going through a few small problems, "Bob" basically bent over backward to make everything right. Very few businesses do that these days. This was not an expensive product so it would have been easy to ignore me or just say, what do you expect from used equipment? Instead, I have a perfectly performing camera, despite its age, and if it quits tomorrow, I'm still happy because I know he did everything he could to keep a customer satisfied. I will definitely buy items in this store again.

Question: Absolutely beautiful!

This is now my favorite scarf I have. It has all my favorite colors. The material is not too lightweight and not too heavy or bulky to wear different ways. I find myself tying the ends together and wearing this as an infinity scarf the most. Perfect length. Great with jeans or more dressy. So versatile.

Great product.  I used this to pump out 9 quarts of oil out of my Mercedes GL320 CDI (had to stop at about 8 qt and drain some out first before continuing) in 15 min.  Was able to do my oil and filter change in under 1 hr.

Question: Works Well, Sized Right

When I adopted my cat from a friend, she gave me a different set of clippers for his claws, but I found them totally unusable. Designed for a dog's paw, they were to large and hard to wield around his paws, and I was nervous I would misjudge and clip to far down. I decided to get the ultimate touch cat claw clippers instead.
These are just the right size to get close to my cat's claws, and they allow me to hold them close enough to judge where I clip. He's a Maine Coon, so he fuzzy paws made it very hard to judge with the other clippers. These are also nice and sharp along the cutting edge, so his claws do not get smashed and it leaves everything neat. I am very pleased with these clippers, and they seem pretty sturdy.
My only other note is that the handles are not all red plastic. Mine came in silver, so don't expect red handles.

Turns out my wife didn't want to use it for a monitor stand because it's too high, and not adjustable.  We still used it to clear up some desk space by putting a printer on it.  I don't think I'd like it as a monitor stand much.  If you bump the desk a little, it will bounce and shake for a minute which would make me sick.

Question: Could not make it work

When I upgraded ESET SMART SECURITY from v4 to v5 on my computer running Win7 64-bit, I could not make it work. The system simply did not boot properly. I had no choice by to uninstall v5 in a safe mode and revert to v4.

Really liked it fine while it worked. Had a few shutdown and lock up issues but otherwise it worked fine UNTILL....two weeks ago the power button broke and I could only use it with the magnetic cover switch. Called Asus and got a RMA# but never got the e-mail with return instructions. THEN....last week it froze up on an e-book page and after the battery died it was as unresponsive as a dead armadillo. Called Asus again and was told I would get an e-mail with return info right away. NOTHING.....called again this morning and Asus stayed on the line with me for 30 minutes before she decided that she could NOT e-mail to any of my three addresses two of which are gmail. No one else has that problem! The do not use the US Mail. Well she finally e-mailed the return instructions to my daughter, also a gmail account, and my daughter forwarded the instructions to me. What a mess!!! I wonder if I will ever see my tablet again. ARG!!! By the way, it is 4 months old.

Question: Look 10x more hardcore than you really are

Not approved for quicksand or lava. Cannot stress this enough. But protective and ideal for deep puddles of most questionable liquids.
Bought a pair for my mom too so we can both kick ass in style.

4.5 stars!!! This is an amazing book! Its a must read! I think that this should be a compulsory read in schools! Bullying is tackled in many different ways in books, but this book does it differently. You get a true understanding of what its like for Joshua to be pushed away by everyone because of one bitchy girl, Rhonda. Id really love to meet that girl in a dark alley some day

I found it so easy to read and even though some parts were repeated from both Joshuas and Eves point of views, it didn't slow the story down too much. It was actually quite nice to see certain scenes affected both the characters differently.

I was instantly drawn to Joshua from the very beginning and I wanted to give him a big hug the whole way through and tell him that everything was going to be OK! No one deserves to go through what he went through and I am so glad the he got his happy ending.

I was very close to crying throughout the last third of the book. Patrick Hodges knows very well how to get into his readers heads and make them feel the emotions that his characters are feeling too.

The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because I found that some parts were a bit unreal. Ive never been to an American school, so I don't know if they really are that different to UK schools, but in schools over here, the bullies don't rule the school.

Rhonda seems to have the whole school under her spell and everyone does what she says. I accept that they are scared of her, but I don't believe that absolutely no-one would stand up to her. But, saying this, its fiction, it doesnt have to be real! I understand why Hodges wrote the story in this way. I think it needed to be exaggerated a little for people to truly understand the impact that bullying has on people. This is why I only docked half a star!

It is a heartwarming story of courage, love and strength. I just wish I could have been as strong as Joshua was when I was being bullied in school. This is a book that all young people should read, whether they are the victim, bully or simply an onlooker. It may just save a few people from utter despair.

I almost forgot Kelsey! That girl is incredible! I think you should read the book to find out what I mean ;)

Question: Too small, Not All-Season

Order a size larger than expected.  A large was recommended, I ordered an X-Large, but required a XX-Large.
Not really an "All-Season" cover, unless you're in the deep south.  Purchased this to cover my bike outdoors, in the rain and snow.  This cover does not appear to hold up to that, but it'll do in a pinch.

It was much thinner material than I expected, and the grommets are already starting to pull out.  I will want to invest in a sturdier flag next time.

Question: Con una narrativa locuaz el autor logra captar en breve ...

Con una narrativa locuaz el autor logra captar en breve la atencin, transporta a la cotidianidad por medio de palabras guiadas por el salvajismo y humor inteligente.

As is usual, I received this book via a GoodReads giveaway.  Despite the kind consideration of paying nothing for the book my candid opinions follow below.

To begin, a few key points.  The first of which is to point out that this book has very little to do with science, or indeed anything especially technical.  It is first and foremost a biography.  Anyone wishing to learn about Dyson's achievements at a technical level will find themselves wholly disappointed.  Further, the book is organized as a simple chronology of events and while it touches on some of Dyson's interactions with the more technical crowd which surrounded him throughout his lifetime, it doesn't go into them in any satisfactory depth.

After this book it is clear to any reader that Dyson is the ultimate polymath.  Excelling at any number of disciplines he's pretty much what I would aim for myself, broad and wise pursuit of all available knowledge.  One can find no more auspicious target than that.

Despite the incisive perception of the subject, the author does tend to drag in his presentation.  The events of Dyson's life are laid out on display but as a more technical reader I found myself tapping my foot a bit in the metaphorical sense.  It took a long time to convey what I wanted to know.  Readers with a more personal or biographical bent are sure to be pleased where I was impatient.

In summary, Dyson is clearly a miracle of his age.  This biography, however, leaves the most interested parties, the nerds and geeks of the world, a bit disappointed.  To those who simply wish to know about the man, all satisfaction is guaranteed.  To those who want the back story on the specific technical innovations, prepare for disappointment.

Question: Great and vast with thought provoking premises

Thrilling adventure through dimensions you've never visited.  Compelling ride, that although fiction, (except for the parts that aren't:).... seems as if it is historical, and could really happen.  Makes you think.

In an attempt to impress the nerds at my new job at Microsoft I decided to buy a Rolex and big diamond  rings, of course these did not impress the computer scientists and engineers on my floor so I did not know what to do, fortunately I came across these cables on Amazon sold my Rolex and diamond rings and placed an order for the AudioQuest K2 Cables,they were shipped to me a few minutes after,they came nicely packed in a gold plated case and autographed by Billy Joel

Next Morning I went to work and  hanged them around my neck and now people at Microsoft know I mean business, immediately all the females at Microsoft started asking me out, her eyes glued on my AudioQuest K2 Terminated cables hanging around my neck, but my luck did not end there,I was asked by Bill Gates el big Jefe to please consider a promotion to Vice President and to meet his daughter next weekend.

These cables have gotten me through the VIP line of the most prestigious club in town, even Kid Rock was asked to wait in line after the bouncer spotted my AudioQuest Cables hanging from my neck, I cannot recommend these cables enough if what you are trying to do is improve your standing in this world.

Sometimes I feel guilty that there are kids that go hungry during the day and I spent 8 Grand for speaker cables but let them eat cake! I have my wires that is all that matters.

Question: Proper Crunches and Breathing

Not for anyone with Injuries past or present.
I was hoping to gain an incite to new exercises that incorporate breathing but do not involve Crunches or anything that will disturb a broken back.
Not this one. This is an Excellent video for anyone who is not injured and wants to learn the Proper way to do crunches and breathing exercises for abdominal build up.
Not for Singers with Broken Backs.
The content is basic and solid. I grew up in Martial Arts from old school 1960s and this was how we were taught to do crunches back then. Scott Sonnon is an excellent instructor.

Awesome. I love having my door open to get fresh air but hated all the bugs that would come in. Easy install.

It's great!! It comes with a SUPER FAST charging cable that I now use for my car charger. I will still charge my phone, iPad, and Bluetooth speaker easily, even with a regular charging cable.

A bit bulky though, but that should be expected with something of this capacity.

As another reviewer noted, American troops are torturing and murdering innocent Muslims in many parts of the World.  Bush is their evil puppet-master.  The Dixie Chicks should be praised not just for their music but also for standing up and opposing Bush's evil wars.

Question: I will be buying from Clarks more often. Love it!

I've been browsing /r/malefashionadvice for a while and these boots were recommended quite often. I finally got a pair and I must say they are some of the most comfortable and amazing footwear ever. The sole is solid but a little spongy, which is good for my flat, wide feet. I can go the entire day without having foot pain. The leather is a great quality. The beeswax style will mark up easily, but that is to be expected and it makes the boots look like rugged desert boots. After being exposed to the southern weather and breaking in, the tint has gotten a little darker. This is no problem to me, however, because I really like the tone it brings out. I read about people who said to order a size down. I went half a size. Although it feels a tiny bit big, it's still a great fit. If these are taken care of well then they can last a long time. I look forward to the next pair I get!

Pros: Comfortable, affordable, great material

Cons: Make sure to order a size down from your normal shoe size

Price was right, huge improvement over my 20 year old reciever.  I was also able to program my DISH remote to control it completely, making my wife happy using only one remote.  Very happy with the purchase.

My issue with these is the install.  I had a shop do it after losing hair.  Happy as heck once installed.  Again the problem is always bolt angles.

I wear a size 12 and own a few other Skechers in size 12 which fit great.  When I tried this one on, I could barely fit my foot in it.  It felt like a size 10 or 11.  Definitely not a 12.  Should have listened to the other reviewers.  I returned it and will now go to a store and try one on to get the right size.  Amazon shipping and returns worked great!

Question: Walking in Their Shoes

A great historical piece that winds the real events of World War II in eastern Europe.  It lets the reader walk in the shoes of the endangered victims of both Germany and Russia.  Good read.

Love this organizer so much I purchased a second.  I was looking for something to contain files and papers but yet could be used to place my printer on top of.  Its very sturdy and supports the HP printer without any issue, weighing approx 4-5 pounds itself.  The bottom has rubber feet that prevent sliding and scratching of the desk top.  I purchased with the intent of only using the bottom half and honestly would love the option to buy without the top.

Question: Very Bright, Soft White Light - Totally Worth It for Reading!

I recently spent 15 minutes at a big box store looking for light bulbs rated at more than 2000 lumens. There were none of the non-dimmable type. (My lamp doesn't dim, so I don't need that feature. Not sure which level it would produce anyway.) So, I decided to order some online. I have previously used a 180-watt GE Reader incandescent bulb that produced 2100 lumens. It lasted about the expected 0.7 years. I could not find this bulb for sale anywhere. The Readers that I did find produced fewer lumens and were $9 a bulb. Then I found these bulbs online. This 150W bulb produces 2680 lumens! It gives a nice, soft bright light. I use it in a lamp that is on approximately 3 hours per day, at an energy cost to me of $0.06/day. Quite worth it to be able to read newspapers and books in comfort.

LOVE it! Heavy duty like a government issued American flag built to withstand the elements. Embroidered on BOTH sides is a plus so you can read it no matter what side you're on.

Question: A Wise Place to Begin

For someone who is looking, or thinks she would like to look for a partner in life, this book is a wise place to begin. The author emphasizes how to look safely and gives wise advice on when to meet the men who answer your personal ads.  The writing is succinct and  the clues are excellent.  The author's guidelines provide a road map that will help take the fear out of using personal ads.

Had to get a new macbook air charger after my 3rd charger got chewed up by my precious (but rebellious) rabbit. As mentioned, this was my 3rd charger to buy. The first just crapped out on me, and the second got chewed up by a cat. Those were all 3 Apple brand chargers too, which run about $90 a piece. I was a little nervous to buy an off brand charger but the reviews seemed good and a $50 savings is nice. So far I have not been disappointed. It charges just as fast, if not faster, and comes in cute colors! (I got the turquoise) But I definitely am making sure to keep it away from my rabbit!

Question: Dark Carousel Reminded Me of Why I Fell In Love with this Series

Simply Exquisite

Dark Carousel is the 30th installment in the Carpathian series and this story reminded of why I feel in love with this series in the first place. We have waited a very long time for Tariq Asenguard's story and Ms. Feehan did not disappoint. Dark Carousel picked up the thread that was started with Dark Crime, Dark Ghost and Dark Promise. In this new arc, we were gifted with the exquisite new monastery ancients and the formation of a brand new Carpathian community in the United States. Charlotte and Tariq were wonderful together and the action was non-stop. The historical information the ancient males, Dragomir, Siv, and Nicu provided about ancient Carpathian history was fascinating. It seems that the Carpathian series is back on track, all the magic, intrigue, suspense, and romance were seamlessly woven throughout this story and promises to stake the Carpathians into a fresh, new story arc. I cannot wait for the fearsome, gold-eyed Dragomir to find his mate, I hope he won't be left hanging as long as Tariq was. Great read.

I quite using hd-600's and dt-990's after buying these. Best I have ever bought. One thing I did was replace the ear-pads with ones called alpha pads. The pads are rectangle in shape and the ear space is bigger for a better fit over my ears. More comfortable than the stock ones. I also noticed more bass with the new pads. Like it so much I bought a new dac/amp to power them.

Question: I really like this series

Started this series thinking it was just a trilogy and not a space opera.  The first few books had some editing that has since been address in the later ones.  I really like this series.

"This book of C. S. Lewis' on prayer is a good one, but I don't like to pray any better for reading it." Flannery O'Connor's quip about Jack's "Letters to Malcolm" could serve as a standing review on most books about prayer. Lisa Coln DeLay, Director of Communications at Evangelical Seminary in Myerstown, PA and self-described spiritual formation provocateur, aims to break the cycle. Her new book, "Life as Prayer: Revived Spirituality Inspired by Ancient Piety" fuses Brother Lawrence and suburban sanctification in an effort to go from prayer as activity to prayer as existence, from prayer as a worthy use of some of our time to prayer as the essence of all of our time. It is not often we find an author who can write with such depth on the spiritual life and still use the word "urinal" in the first two pages.

Question: These were very easy to install and looks

These were very easy to install and looks, feel great. No bubbles and even if there were they would have sent me a new one for free. Worthy purchase.

My only gripe would be that the cut out for the light sensor is not large enough. It covers the light sensor slightly and I believe it causes my auto brightness to be wonky sometimes. My theory is, the light reflects off the edge of the protector and causes my screen brightness to go up and down multiple times within seconds. I think this is a decent oversight since it is very clear that the protector is aligned everywhere else but covers that sensor partially.

I know this is not just the way I installed the protector since my friend has the same phone and screen protector and his looks the same and it's perfectly straight as well.

My 13 year-old daughter had a Dell Ditty for two years.  It served her well but she wanted an mp3 in which she could choose songs and create playlists.  She wanted an IPod because that's what her friends were using.  I have a Creative Zen Vision: M 30 with Napster subscription.  (Great mp3)  I guided her away from Apple and towards this because of the flash drive and Plays for Sure compatability.  Using her own money to buy this, I nervously awaited her verdict on the Sansa.  She loves it and so do I.  She has her music, photos and a movie on the player.  It works great with Napster To Go.  Her basketball coach saw her using it on the bus and has decided to get a Sansa also.  My 15 year-old son is now thinking he wants to get one, too.  Great product.

Question: Good, solid book well-written

Good, solid book well-written. "Just (most of) the facts, ma'am". Fairly dry account of an enormously driven and focussed man. From a young age, he worked to be a winning military commander on the field of battle. Despite many setbacks and lifelong self-doubt, he succeeded. (The movie 'Patton' shows only the top of the tip of the iceberg).

Jack Nightingale was well on his way to establishing his career as a top police negotiator when suddenly everything began to go horribly wrong.  While on a particularly troubling case his negotiations failed terribly, resulting in the death a a child.  Jack was then suspected of causing the death of a 'person of interest', a person who had made a very interesting statement to Jack before falling to his death, which had resulted in Jack leaving the police under a cloud of suspicion.  Now, just as Jack was beginning to re-establish his life events began to unfold that lead Jack to question everything he had known to be true about his life and himself.

This is the first in what is planned to be a trilogy of stories about Jack as he investigates crimes with paranormal overtones.  The paranormal aspects, at least in this first novel, are rather subtle.  The reality as we know it is altered only slightly, and for the most part, in ways that are only noticeable by Jack.  The result is that instead of giving the reader to reassurance that this has to be fiction that the more over the top DRESDAN FILES or SOUTHERN VAMPIRE series supply Jack's circumstances are a bit creepier.  The evidence of paranormal activity is available only to Jack and those who might aid him in dealing with it are eliminated from his life.  There are intriguing loose ends in this novel, ones that hold great promise for the remaining two novels in the series.

Question: A lyrical, beautiful, perfect book

I sit here with tears in my eyes over this book, because not only is there not one word I would change, it is - strange to say about a historical mystery packed with action, grit, and violence - full of love. Complicated, frustrated, broken, healing love. I can't express how truly remarkable this book is, except to say it's made me want to be a better person, and a FAR better writer. Why Lyndsay Faye isn't on everyone's shelf I will never know, but please ... Buy her work.

well made.  looks good. protects phone well. keep phone safe and glass surface clean. people have commented positively

Question: Inexpensive shirt, great customer service

So first off I didn't buy the shirt to wear, so if you're looking for that in this comment you're not gonna find that. Instead I purchased the shirt (in neon green) to wrap it over my chair so when I stream with a green screen in the background the chair gets cropped out. Now the shirt seemed a bit darker in the photo, and when it came in it was lighter than I thought, so it looked bad in the green screen. I requested a return since I needed a darker one and they answered within 20 minutes and gave me a full refund and let me keep the shirt. That's the reason why I'm giving them 4 stars.

This stuff is awesome.  No smell in and of itself, absorbs guinea pig smells really really well.  And now all of a sudden I can't find it for sale anywhere!  What's the deal?  I'll buy a five year supply when I find it again.  Shake out of the bag, fluff up the stuff a bit -- sometimes squished a bit due to packing.  Truly, makes the air in and around the guinea pig and chinchilla cages so much better than with the other litters we tried.

Question: Looks like in the picture but it doesn't look new new ...

Looks like in the picture but it doesn't look new new It looks kind of damaged. Also I wanted something bigger but It will do.

The item arrived quickly and it took about 3 hours to put together.  When I first starting using it I thought it would be a great machine, however it started elevating the incline to 25 degrees everytime it went to zero - as long as the program signaled it to go above 0 degrees it was performed correctly.  I recalibrated the incline ramp multiple times and it still raises to 25 degrees consistently.  It's worth noting that iFit programs adjust the ramp every few seconds, so setting it to zero manually does not help.  I have tried contact support and since their hours are limited, I can only call on their hours during Saturday's.  Every time I have called the customer support team has been 'unavailable' or they are closed for that day (although the manual clearly states open 8am-4pm on Saturdays).  So I tried contacting support through their web site - after filling everything in it required the serial number for the unit.  And just like several other reviews point out - there is no serial number on this device!!!  I turned it upside down, took off all the cover parts, and referenced every area their manual says it will be 'clearly visible'.  No serial number anywhere, so I cannot even use their online web form.

So, I after wasting several hours over several days trying to figure this out, I am ultimately returning it.

Additionally, the iFit program from an iPad consistently closes with an error and it does NOT resync as it is supposed to.  Out of the 10 sessions I tried (with the incline maxed at 25 degrees), the iFit application died every time, so it shows that I have not completed any programs....  The whole system has potential, but the quality control is so poor that they are far from where they need to be.

Question: Exposes The Need For Trained Godly Men

In this volume, some of the most sound preachers of our day explain and defend why they continue to be true to the expository and the lectio continua method of preaching the biblical text, as opposed to just about every Enlightenment deviation. It also underscores the need for sound seminary education.

'It is wrong for a man to impose his system violently upon any particular text; but at the same time it is vital that his interpretation of any particular text should be checked and controlled by this system, this body of doctrine and of truth which is found in the Bible.' Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Preaching & Preachers pp. 66-67

But Derek Thomas warns against clerical perfectionism, 'Its (the sermon's) research has even created a Gnostic view that only the few - those endowed by a special wisdom and insight - can possibly be trusted to understand what the Bible says. The sermon fails to underline the Reformational emphasis on the perspicuity of Scripture: 'that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of the ordinary means, may attain a sufficient understanding of them.' A Reformed sacerdotalism has emerged, with the preacher squarely resident between the Bible and the listener.' p 83

RC Sproul informs that at times of backsliding and apostasy, the message to be delivered may very well be that of God's imminent judgment. The OT repeatedly tells us of false prophets who gainsaid the message of God's prophets by promising peace and prosperity: '...the greatest threat to the security of the nation was not the armies of the Syrians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, or the Philistines. The people of OT Israel were crushed by false prophets within their gates.' p 79

RC Sproul Jr acknowledges that in our struggle against opposing forces, we must avoid carnality (2 Cor 10:4-5). 'We must fight our temptations to carnality with wisdom, with obedience, and with the power of God's Word.' p 93

The preacher, as an earthen vessel, a clay pot, must seek to bring God glory under trying and testing circumstances - whilst seeking to preserve the gospel of truth firstly and his own integrity secondly. John MacArthur makes clear Paul's priorities, 'The starkness of the contrast between the glory of the message and the crudeness of the vessel used to deliver it is very apparent.' p 150 The way we handle the text as our primary responsibility is once again highlighted, as we seek to bring to the fore the blazing glory of God revealed in the face of Jesus Christ.

John Armstrong contends that the congregation must be the target of the Bible's truths applied: 'Christian living, biblically, is always based and grounded upon obedience to the truth.' John Armstrong, p 181

Question: I Fell in love!! Amazing!!

By far the best book from the Alabama Trilogy. I love Reed and his sense of character. Beth is sweet yet courageous and inspiring. I couldn't put the book down. It's was a rollercoaster of emotions from sad pasts to hilarious moments and hot sex scenes. In the end its "You and Me" <3. MUST READ!!!

These switches work exactly as they should and last practically forever, but I only gave it four stars because $60 apiece can really hurt if you need to buy more than just one or two.  Anything between $45-$50 would have earned it a full five stars.

Question: No character development.  No relationship development.  I did not enjoy this.  I wanted it to be over.

STORY BRIEF:
When Emm was six she fell, hit her head, and was in a coma.  After that, periodically she would go into an unconscious state, each one lasting a few minutes or longer.  She called these "fugues."  She could not get a driver's license until she had been fugue free for a year.  This finally happened when she was 31.  She then moved out of her parents' home to a city.  She sees Johnny for the first time at the neighborhood coffee shop.  He is the most beautiful man she has ever seen.  He is 52, old enough to be her father.  He is rude, dismissive, and cold to her each time she sees him.  Through her girlfriend and the internet, Emm learns that Johnny starred in independent art films 30 years ago with full nudity.  His naked body achieved cult status.  Now he has an art gallery where he shows his own work as well as art done by others.

Emm had been fugue free for a year, but once she meets Johnny she begins having frequent fugues.  In each fugue she time travels to Johnny's home in 1978.  In most of these visits they immediately have sex.

REVIEWER'S OPINION:
Johnny is cold and distant to Emm for vague and illogical reasons.  Later, after they get together, Emm is unhappy with her condition in life so she acts like a bitch to Johnny.  When they first meet (in her backward time travel) there is no meeting, talking, or getting to know each other.  She just appears and says lets go upstairs.  They have sex, and then she disappears.  The few times he asks her where she comes from or why she leaves, she doesn't answer him.  She believes these are dreams, so she doesn't need to explain anything.  That was unsatisfying.  Most of the book is someone being frustrated at desiring the other but not having them.  Because I didn't care about the characters I didn't care about the sex.  There are many explicit sex scenes.

I was tired of hearing how beautiful Johnny was.  That's the only thing I knew about him.  I was also tired of one character who said "girl" too much.  For example: "Girl, I will introduce you..."  "Girl, if that makes you..."  I don't know why it bothered me, maybe because there was nothing else to go with that personality.

The plot concept was good.  I liked the author's explanation for why Emm time traveled.  I'm glad the couple had a happy ending, but I did not "feel" good about it.  I was just glad to be done reading.

CAUTION SORT-OF SPOILER:
I was frustrated and unsatisfied with Johnny's vague explanation of why he was distant and rude to Emm the first time he saw her (in current day).  I'm paraphrasing his comments from pages 212-213 as follows.  "He wasn't around his daughter Kim much when she was growing up so now he is doing his best to pay her back.  That is why he was rude to Emm when he first saw Emm.  He then kept trying to avoid Emm because Emm scared him."  According to the overall story, Johnny was in love with Emm thirty years ago, but she disappeared from his life.  And this is his explanation?  It didn't sound real to me.  A more logical reaction might be  "Wow.  I haven't seen you in 30 years.  Why am I seeing you now?  Will you be disappearing again?"  I didn't like the lack of logic.  This rejection of Emm lasted for half of the book.  The author never took us into Johnny's mind to see why he was scared of her, or to understand any of his feelings.  This was contrived conflict - not well supported.

DATA:

Question: This stuff is SO sticky even with soap solution

I had such a terrible time with this stuff. As soon as it makes contact, even with the solution, it sticks immediately. If you try to move it, it leaves sticky residue which shows through the film. I ended up removing the crinkled mess and having to use almost a whole bottle of goo gone to get rid of the glue left on the glass. I went with the artisan etched film, MUCH better, even though it costs more.

Once reading started, my mind raced back to the times that I know that I am a living part of this American history. I am 69 years of age. My major in college was Political Science. I have purchased several copies of the Harbinger and Companion With Study Guide giving them to people that I knew would enjoy reading this Masterpiece-at-Large.

Question: Horrible unit, worse Customer Support!!

My GOD! I had faith in Panasonic and have never had a problem until now. I bought this less than 2 years ago and suddenly it stopped working for no reason at all. It will not power on at all now. Check out this bug, it is all over the internet, just punch in the model number DMR-ES10 and something like won't power on, etc... it gets worse. I called Panasonic "customer service". If you consider being rushed through the call, repeatedly having questions unanswered then LITERALLY being hung up on customer service, then I guess that's Panasonic's benchmark for service. I was told to mail it in, wait 2 or 3 weeks, then I will receive a call letting me know IF it can be fixed. If so, I will then get the cost. Are you kidding me. If this is a widely known issue, shouldn't they be taking the hit, fixing and shipping it for free and laying out the red carpet? Oh, to add insult, I've been recording one of my favorite shows for about 7 episodes, but I never got a chance to finalize the disc, so I basically wasted weeks recording something that won't play in anyone else's DVD player (no power, no chance to finalize the disc) and finally I have a rented DVD in the player now from Blockbuster that I can't get out. In 3 weeks, it will be extremely late, who's going to pay the late fees? Me of course. As I write this, I STILL don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know what else to say except - Never again Panasonic!!

Question: Easy to use and great price!

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/E1PbsGftIMS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/911aOoFbpCS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> I'd say if you've been on the fence about a pen, you should definitely pull the trigger on this one. It's so easy to use and the features and settings are wonderful. Features like multiple speeds, a digital display, prints in both ABS and PLA, and an included stand. For $30-40 you really can't beat it.

The film is worthy to be included with the other Sharpe's collections.  What I noticed the most about this film and the ones after this one in the series are that the bad guys are starting to be anoying characters.  What I mean is that they tend to be wimps, cowards, and scheming all the time.  It hardly matches that of the bad guys in the other films where they fight for the wrong side but atleast they contain some sort of solder's honor.

  I would consider this film the epiloge of the whole colection.  The Waterloo episode spikes up in action again but this one feels more like an ending to all of the episodes.  The plot is a bit old fashioned where he goes and looks for his mom's indentity and ends up being involved in a conflict between landowners and peasants.

  The customes in all of these series are always a plus and seems to come straight from the theaters themselves.  The details are rich as well as the plot.  This episode wasn't my most favorite and it isn't my least favorite but it falls nicely in between and lenghtens your love for the Sharpe series.

I recomend this one as long as you've seen the other ones first.

After searching and reading many reviews, I decided to go with this cover in the Silver Glitter. It is even prettier in person on my phone. It is so sparkly in the light. I have only had it on for a few days and  have already received so many compliments. The cover fits perfectly on my iphone 6s and will offer protection if dropped-it's not too thin like other glitter covers I have tried.  I will definitely be ordering another color. Can't beat the price and prime shipping was the next day.

They are decent for the price. Every frame came with chipped edges on the plastic. On frame came with a missing panel all together. Only reason Id buy again is because they're the cheapest I could find and don't mind throwing them away

I was expecting a different fabric, but the hat and the bandana were both nylon and slippery.  The whistle doesn't even make a noise when you blow out of it, just a bit of air.

I'd gotten another Anita style at my local speciality store. I was looking for another bra cause a girl gets tired of wearing the same one after 9 months and knowing a long nursing period was still to come. I took a chance on this one cause of the price.

Question: Injection capable with great range

This injection capable card has great range. Works perfect on Linux. I have tried it with Ubuntu and Backtrack 5. I run it on my carputer and can connect to networks in a 1/4 mile radius at near full strength with the normal antenna. The flat antenna is directional. Pointing it towards an access point gives you even more range.

Injection capable cards are great for penetration testing at home or work. They allow you to directly manipulate packets on your network.

If you don't care about packet injection this is still a great buy. Use it to add wireless capabilities to a computer that doesn't have a wireless card. Or, use it to extend the range of a computer that already has wireless capabilities.

Question: offered great fun to my one year old son...

I bought this for my son when he was 13 months old. He has been playing these cars day and night happily. It is really amazing how far it can go with one push. It makes my son chase the car everywhere in the house. It looks very durable too. The only concern so far is the drivers who look like a scare-crow rather than drivers. It is a common problem for most WOW toy's products. If they can make such good toys I am sure they can handle making more realistic drivers too...

UPDATE 4 months later: friction systems for both cars have died. Considering that they had been used massively for these 4 months I can't blame the company. But I Just want to let other buyers know so that they set up their expectations accordingly...

Question: A book one finds hard to put down

A true example of 'The Imitation of Christ'.  Indeed a 'must' read for anyone seeking guidance on the measure of giving without counting the cost for giving  selflessly for the love of God the reward is God. May God instill in us that same longing as Fr Emil Kapaun.

After delving out of my usual practice into hot yoga, a towel became a necessity because my hands and feet would slip as I lost my grip on my mat. Since I don't spend very much time at the yoga studio (1-2 classes) a week, I couldn't bring myself to drop $60-80 on a towel. This one did the trick and I personally think it's great. It does its job--I don't slip on the mat. It does bunch up sometimes and I have to smooth it out once or twice during class, but overall it's fantastic. The small ?silicone? (not sure of the material) nubs underneath that keep it from slipping also hold up well through many washes. For an average yoga goer that doesn't need anything too fancy, this was great for the price.

Question: Amazing hardware with incredible potential, hampered only by too much emphasis on touch screen capacity

The Vita is awesome. I really couldn't realize it, until I had received mine in the mail, and held it in my hands. I had a PSP, and this thing is light years beyond the console that it replaced. The Vita feels incredibly comfortable, perhaps even more so than my trusty Dual Shock controllers. The miniature, twin analog sticks are brilliantly implemented, comfortable, and they function perfectly. Likewise, the shoulder buttons (and face buttons) are perfectly placed and easy to engage. Ergonomically, I couldn't ask for anything more- the Vita just feels good in my hands, and I can play it at length without any discomfort.

The only time it's NOT comfortable (or fun) is when a game forces me to use the touch screen, whereupon I'm forced to awkwardly start bumbling with the screen (or even worse, the back touch interface) with one hand, while I hang onto the console with my other hand. It's my hope that Sony will stop forcing gamers to use these awkward touch schemes. Why on earth would they develop such perfect physical controls for their handheld, and then ignore them at times? If we want to play games with touch, there are dozens of options- Kindle Fire, iPad, smart phones, etc. The Vita can and should be the ALTERNATIVE to everything else, not one more touch device that will be lost in a sea of similar devices. I can't begin to describe the frustration I felt when I was forced to use touch while playing "Golden Abyss" or "Mutant Blobs from Space". I actually had to stop playing the latter game, because I couldn't adjust to the touch portions, and they brought the fun factor to a screeching halt for me.

Now back to the good stuff... The 5" OLED screen is stunning. You really can't appreciate its vibrancy or effectiveness until you hold a Vita in your hands, and you'll most likely be surprised by its size (it seems way bigger than the PSP). Also nice is the fact that despite this large screen, the Vita easily fits into a front pants pocket, and it's rather light in weight.

As for the games that I've played, they've been truly impressive, though I haven't yet seen anything that I think is quite on par with the PS3 from a technical perspective. Nonetheless, the performance that has been crammed into this handheld is downright mind boggling. I have very high hopes for the future of the Vita, and I'm confident that it can succeed, while bringing a great deal of fun to gamers- so long as it utilizes the brilliant physical controls that are its trump card, and leaves the touch stuff to other devices.

Year of the Crystal Children:  Life for high schooler Bailey just got really interesting. First she loses her cell, then she breaks into her high school after hours to retrieve it. Next thing she knows, her grandmother is MIA and she's being arrested and sent to juvie. This is just the beginning of her adventures. She makes some new friends, while trying to figure out a way to prove her innocence, in addition to figuring out what is going on in her town.

This book is a faced paced adventure that's very well written.  The character development is quite good, even though I thought Bailey was a ditz.  The fact that she kept trying to figure everything out, with some help from her friends and the mysterious Shadow, shows that not only is she not a ditz but is rather quite tenacious, and resourceful.  There is some friction between her and one of the other girls in Juvie, but it doesnt end up causing any problems, but makes for some funny moments.  Overall, I think that it is one of the better YA books Ive read in quite some time.

Bought a 12-18 month size for my son who is 9 months, as he is pretty tall (very thin though). It fitted him pretty good. Only thing is the costume is kind of warm so if the climate is hot, the baby may feel warm. Plus my son has mild eczema so needed to take care. He was mostly without the dragon head as it was irritating him. Anyway when we dress him up completely he looked super cute, and we went trick or treat plus took some great priceless pictures.

I use this at least 2 to 3 times a week. And it works great. I use it for fruit smoothies and mudslide at parties.
I use frozen fruits *strawberries, blueberries, peaches* and bananas w/1% milk ...Yours get too hot you need more liquids, b/c it needs to be able to break up the ice and frozen parts.
Great will get another one!!

This is my third band from clockwork synergy (I like to change them up every so often).  It's also, at least on first impression, the only one I've been a little disappointed in.  The metal hardware is an attractive black matte color, but the metal itself it thinner than my other clockwork synergy bands.  The strap itself is also slightly thinner, which may or not be a good thing depending on what you're looking for.

To be fair, I don't have reason to believe that the metal is so thin as to be flimsy.  Nor do I think that the band is so thin that it would fail.  And the colors are true to the picture and pretty sweet.  I've deducted a star, though, because I preferred the thicker metal and band, if only for peace of mind.

Overall, I recommend this to you with the above reservations and I hope this review helps you.

Update:  I've had this now for a couple of months.  I think my concerns about the thinner metal were overblown, so I've added the star back.

Question: Worst shower head I've ever used I've used hundreds

Horrible do not do what I did read this review and save your money I bought this for $75 I had to buy Plumbing tape and when I was finished taping the entire thing leaked no way to fix it this wasted my time and money do not buy water Chef they are a horrible company terrible company they produce low very very low quality filters save your money do not buy water Chef spend a little bit more and purchase a 10 times better product from Home Depot

I was concerned after reading the other reviews that it might not work for me as I'm not a skinny minnie. However,  properly inflated I found this float to meet my needs. I used it most of the summer and added a little air a couple of times but nothing that would disparage my current rating. It may be important to indicate here that I was using this float in my backyard in ground pool and not in the ocean or anywhere else.

Question: Finally, the perfect belt...

This is the most comfortable belt I have ever worn.  No matter what pair of pants, shirt in or out, the adjustment is always perfect. And, the belt never gets scuffed at the buckle latch point since that point no longer exists!  I will be buying at least one more SlideBelt.

My daughter-in-law was so surprised by this with our Grand daughter's name printed on this mug! Now, if only we can get her to use it!

Question: Very pretty on my black couch

Very pretty on my black couch. I don't have a big art budget so this helps add some beauty for a low cost.

I purchased several copies to give to my closest friends!  A book of faith, forgiveness, grace, love, strength, resilience, adversity, and gratefulness.  Highly recommend it!  Francine Rivers is a class act!

Question: Veteran User of Life Application Study Bible

I have used a NIV Life Application Study Bible for years and would not trade it for any other.  This personal size, however, has very small print that can be a little hard to use.  I do prefer the older version of the NIV Bible that is not "politically correct."

Question: Stunning piece of jewelry.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry I own.  The rose color is stunning and I get so many compliments when and where ever I wear it.  Absolutely gorgeous- which makes the tribute even sweeter to my Godmother who I wear close to my heart.

This is a great thermometer!  I've had it for about 10 months and it works great.  The only issues I've had is if the thermometer gets stuck behind a wall in the pool it sometimes won't hit the transmitter.  Also, if you don't have direct line of sight to the transmitter with 1 wall max between the receiver and it, it won't work.  The batteries last about 6 months, and when you replace them, you need to use silicone grease on the threads, or I'd guess it'd leak.  It also records the daily high and low and also has the temperature of the room as well.  Very happy with it.

Question: Delighted with this purchase

Purchased this knob/lock unit to install along with the Premis Smart Lock to replace my older lock and bolt.  The install was about 5-10 minutes due to excellent directions included with the kit.  There are pictures as well as text in directions and also good support on the Kwikset website. The SmartKey feature to re-key the new lock to my old key worked flawlessly, first time.  This lock/knob is of higher quality than my old contractor installed lock.  Its slightly larger than the contractor unit, more solid and smoother finish.  Would highly recommend this unit.

Installed easily and perfectly in place of the stock arms. Recommend to anyone that has squeaking and squawking in their rear ;)

Question: Great fit, smells like death

Pros
Good fit and nice stretch, which is most important to me.

Cons
Absolutely overwhelming chemical smell that transferred to my other clothes when I washed it. It almost seems to have gotten worse after a wash/dry. I imagine it will go away with more washes so I haven't given up completely, but be aware. It's possible that the dark black color I chose has more dye odor than others, as I am shocked to not see more notes about this in other reviews.

Not exactly aesthetically pleasing, but it works fine so far.  I wish the light would go off when nothing is plugged in.

Question: I'm very glad that I did

Admittedly I was skeptical about how well these would work to hang 12-16ft sections of crown molding on 9ft ceilings. But I was so desperate to get this project done (single-handedly), that I decided to roll the dice.  I'm very glad that I did.  They work exceptionally well. After about 2 mins of trial and error getting the proper height setting on them, I was rocking and rolling.  They hold the molding securely enough (pinched again the ceiling and wall) that it won't fall, but you can still make minute adjustments prior to nailing the crown into place. The rubber pads do not mar or scratch the molding surface or damage the floor.  I would absolutely recommend these to anyone that needs an extra set of hands for around the house projects.

Gorgeous dress.  Ordered an XL to fit over my DDD chest and it still fits perfectly everywhere else.

Question: One Tin Soldier - A Southern Gothic Romance

"One Tin Soldier" explores the bonds of friendship, family, love, and murder, based on the memories of two childhood friends, Billy and Eugene. You will be totally entwined throughout the book in the story about these characters from south Alabama.  It is a tale of "who done it"... the neighbor from down the road, a passing stranger, or perhaps someone completely unexpected... There are many twists and turns in this Gothic romance with enough surprises to keep you guessing to the very end. When I finished this book I was ready to rush and buy book two. Not only is it was very well written, it is also fast paced with a surprising conclusion. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to spend a few hours reading a heartwarming story. But be prepared, you won't be able to put this book down until you've finished the last page.  Congratulations Phil Knight! Your first novel is a winner! When can we expect book two?

I have owned and used 5 or 6 mouses over time. This is the best mouse I have ever used. Works beautifully and battery life is amazing (over 1-1/2 years thus far on one AA battery). The price I paid is just as incredible as the mouse itself.

Question: "It's like I always say

"It's like I always say: life is like taking off a girl's bra, You never know exactly what you're gonna get, but however it turns out, it's basically awesome." -Eric
.
Kylie Scott is one of my favorite authors. The Stage Dive series will forever have a chunk of my heart. I will not pass up a book from her anymore. Chaser is a part of the Dive Bar series. It's a series of Srandalones. This story was fantastic! It's adorable, fun, and light-hearted. I love an underdog and I felt like that was Eric. He is trying to prove himself while nobody around him believes in him. That made the story more gratifying for me. Check this out if you are looking for a slow-burning romance read.

I have three 10 pound terrier crosses who pull like sled dogs! This product completely cured the pulling. Now I use them every day. I got a different color for each dog because the harness must be assisted to fit each dog. The adjustments took some time but is not  hard. Please be aware that a panicked dog can slip out of this harness.  One of my dogs spooked and slipped the harness.  For that dog I sewed the straps  with a few stitches so they can't slip loose and made a little cord that I snap to her collar from the harness. If she slips the harness the cord keeps her attached to the leash. Even with this one time problem this harness is the best. The three harnesses and the Amish leather leashes made dog walking  a pleasure.  Worth the expense and the only one that worked. I tried them all,  even head harnesses.  Love this product.

Question: PARENTAL WARNING - TRASH: Mission 1

Based on reviews I purchased Mission 1 & 2; I am returning them both today.
I read the first 60 pages, and this is what we got:
- bulling
- cynical dysfuctional family (no father, fat mother runs a crime ring for a living, doesn't care when son comes home early form school asking for help, cynical uncaring relationship of sibings, abusive step father)
- drunk mother suddenly dies (bulling issue unresolved)
- children shipped to foster home
- step dad separates kids (keeps 9-year old girl, rejects 11-year old boy)
- step dad takes possessesion of most valuable belongings
- boy gets caught by police when shoplifting beer for violent foster click
...

my husband randomly picked a page to read:
- descriptive kissing scene where a girl was kissing the (now 12?) year old boy while placing her hand...

This is just not what I have in mind for a spy novel with cool gatgets for my 10 year old son.  This filth would lead most young minds to want to commit suicide...

Im pleased with the quality of this product, the color is true and its working beautifully with my decor.

Question: Form and Function working together

Exceptionally well designed. I had recently purchased Engrained Products' less expensive FlexPi case and really liked it. This is even better because of the ease of assembly and diss-assembly. Includes a very attractive USB power cable. Both this case and the FlexPI are worth way more than what this company is charging.

My 3 year olds grip on crayons normally snaps them in half.  Well, the twistabe crayons stopped from happening.  Although he did throw one really hard and it broke internal (the crayon cracked inside and fell out) and left us with no purple crayon.  He loves coloring with these, even with his tiny hand he can grip it in his palm and have some good controlled coloring.  The color saturation is great too, not to light like some cheap crayons.

Como no podia ser de otra manera, la calidad de
Roger Penrose para describir en forma comprensible la amplia variedad de
leyes que gobiernan nuestro Universo, en forma coherente, es
indiscutible. Muy recomendado.

I thought I would post a review to give it some support...only to see that it's getting lots of support already! If you are a musician who has even a passing interest in synthesizers and owns a NDS, do not even ask questions - when you see a copy, BUY IT!!!! This thing is nothing short of amazing.
Sure it has limitations; about the same limitations as the Korg MS-10, (which I once owned) - but it also has features that the MS-10 never had, like the ability to save patches! (and somehow, in case you want to whine about the limitations, artists are still recording with the original Korg MS-10 today). Despite what you may think, the audio quality is quite useable and sounds great through my studio monitors. BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! Is all that I can say (the other reviews do a much better job of describing the features). I am thinking about buying a 2nd copy because I want to support this kind of development and can hardly wait for what the musical future holds on the NDS platform (Roland and Yamaha are you listening?)

Question: First Place to look for games

This was a great deal on this game. I always look for game here first. Got it in 2days in perfect condition.

I like that nothing about the political or cultural landscape was spoon-fed.  It was presented in context as an archivist would have written it for an audience with the appropriate background.  No painful exposition.

The sassy dialogue reminds me of Mark Lawrence.  The realism, of Joe Abercrombie.  The "we're soldiers doing our jobs, we don't know the bigger picture", of Glen Cook.  I'm greatly looking forward to book 3.

Question: 5 inch ball is perfect for my Jack Russell Terrier

I keep rebuying this product periodically. The 3.5 inch ball is perfect for my Jack Russell Terrier. Toys don't last very long (minutes!) with him, but it takes him longer to destroy this one. Better price on Amazon than Petco.

Life proof is great but around 6 months you have to send case back in and get replacement for the silent/vibrate switch on your phone bc it will wear down overtime. But other than that highly recommend and it's fun scaring people when you "drop your phone" in the sink. Also with charging case it will barely charge on car and only charges well on single port plug ins. Also my case broke from trying to take it off and it snapped. But luckily life proof will always replace your case!

Question: Master of Your Domain?

Often times we practice our craft under the most mundane conditions and we think we are at the top of our game - but throw in a word like *deadline* into the mix then watch the challenge test our mettle.

If you are a broadcast journalist like I was then your chosen vocation tested your mettle once maybe twice in an 8-hour period. What's more you weren't only judged by your managing editor but the entire viewing audience.  Further, the word deadline conjured up three things - an allotted amount of time (or space) to fill; out of time and finally the report must hit the mark with deadly accuracy or it could mean termination.

Had I not performed under that type of pressure daily, I could have easily dismissed the moral of the story in Paulo Coelho's "The Way of the Bow". Taking my experience into consideration, however, I realized no matter what job we perform, as farfetched as it seems, we could find ourselves practicing it in a death-defying situation. It is then and only then can we know how good we really are at our craft.  But why wait for a catastrophe? Mastering "The Way of the Bow" in any endeavor becomes almost achievable if we follow the steps outlined in this inspirational tale.

As Mr. Coelho promised in his blog post "The Way of the Bow" is a short read but it's a helpful anecdote for mastering any undertaking. If you are at the point in your career where you think you've seen it, done it all, ready to write a book about it I suggest you first read "The Way of the Bow -  then revisit your quest and ask yourself: "Am I really master of my domain?"

I'll be a bit "graphic", I apologize if I offend anyone...but these are the things a real shopper wants to know.  For starters, the dogs (full blood Black Lab, full blood pit, 98% Wolf-hybrid, and full blood Pomeranian) all eat the same food and they all seem to very much enjoy all of the Taste of the Wild dry foods.  Yes, the cost is high for my taste, but as a shopper and as an animal lover, you get what you pay for.  On the upper side of the cost, the dogs all eat less because they are actually getting full.  The lack of "fillers" allows my companions to actually fill up on what the body wants to and needs to absorb.  The other plus is that there is less feces as their bodies are absorbing more of what they are eating...again, the lack of "fillers".  They all seem to have more energy (even my 9 year old Lab is showing a higher energy level and maintaining a healthy 105 lbs (solid and muscular rather than the saggy belly she was starting to get), their feces is healthier (proper color and consistency...solid rather than the other stuff) and my girlfriend gets to sleep through the night as they aren't waking her up at 2-4 a.m. with a bathroom emergency.  I hope this helps anyone else looking for a healthier food for their companions.

New 11 months ago. Loses charge after a few days sitting, won't crank if not used within 1-2 days after full charge so now a bad battery and needs replacement. Light use in motorcycle. Alternator providing proper voltage. Seems like a bad batch battery considering the mostly positive reviews.

Question: Very good, but some limitations

This is certainly an extraordinary piece of work.  The animation is superb, with some very beautiful effects and tableaux that will take your breath away.  The action scenes are also very well done, and are frequently riveting.  This is a real film, not a kiddie cartoon; and it takes advantage of the potential of its medium like few things this viewer has ever seen before.
The impact of the film is limited however by poor development of the plot -- it's not that convoluted, it's just inadequately presented -- which makes it essentially impossible to follow.  And some of the characters' voices are so quietly and murkily recorded that you simply can't make them out.  It's unfortunate, because it really mars the movie.
Having said that this is a unique achievement that certainly bears watching at least once.

The one thing I want to say is if you read these books and don't learn a lesson you need to read it again.  Everyone has troubles and with this book you learn that sooner or later the trouble you are hiding from will eventually find you no matter where you hide.  Sometimes you have to seek help from those you don't trust, but in the end you have to step out of your comfort zone to protect everyone and not just yourself.

Question: Computers, viruses and bizarre characters in a Middle Eastern setting

I love science fiction, but I usually go for the realistic pseudoscientific type of stories rather than the fantasy shoot-em-up-weird-creatures type. This novel included both but turned out to be enjoyable although more than a little strange. The main character is Alif, the alias for a young hacker, who lives in poor working class part of a city in a modern day unnamed Arab country. He is the son of an Indian mother and Arab father who has other wives and no longer lives with them. He's a likable character who's very computer savvy and maybe more than a little bored which gives him a lot of time to set up an online business of protecting activists and other political types who need cover from government spying in their online pursuits. His business is international and mostly going pretty well until he gets mixed up IRL (in real life) with a pretty rich girl whose parents have arranged for her to marry a rich young man involved in the government.  Throw in an ancient mysterious book, some weird other worldly characters, and you have the makings of a fun and lively story.

What makes this novel a little different is that it's written by G. Willow Wilson who was born in New Jersey but moved to Egypt in 2003 and began writing articles and essays on Islam and the Middle East.  Some of these appeared in magazines such as the Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times, and Glamour. She converted to Islam and actually wrote a book about her conversion called The Butterfly Mosque: A Young American Woman's Journey to Love and Islam in 2011. This gives her a unique perspective for this fantasy novel in which the characters are Islamic, Hindu other Middle Eastern religions. This all plays into the story. It was a fun read that kept me turning the pages and is the type that played out like a movie. It would certainly make an interesting one requiring all kinds of special effects and computer animations.

Dogs up to 110 pounds? I think not.  The mechanism itself works fine, but the web on this unit is only about 5/8" wide.  While camping last weekend both my 70# dogs were able to exert enough force to snap the strap right off of the end hook. I was able to to repair them, but the webbing started splitting and finally snapped about a foot from the hook.  Totally worthless for large dogs.

Question: I found it to be a good read

I normally would have been put off by the overall 3 star rating; however I downloaded a sample.  I didn't even bother to finish the sample before ordering the book, because I was hooked.  I enjoyed this book. It kept me reading.  While it wasn't the most uplifting I've ever read, it certainly was realistic, and I found it to be very well written.  Perhaps because I never read the Harry Potter books, I didn't have expectations.  Initially, I had a little trouble keeping up with the characters, but reading on, they became familiar and I continued reading to see how their individual story-lines would play out.  I had absolutely no trouble reading this book through to the finish.

This was a new author for me. I couldn't believe how the author just got you to fall in love. To feel like one of the family. This book has it all. Love, hate, hurt, mystery, suspense, forgiveness, finding oneself, and finding ones way back. The characters are so well written that I could literally see them, feel them, and know them. I really want more of this pack. Absolutely phenomenal read for me. Thank you.

Question: Would love long tailed shirts with shorter sleeves

I buy the tall- size undershirts so that they stay tucked (they're longer), but the downside is that the sleeves are longer.  That's fine if you're wearing them under a long sleeved shirt, but with a short sleeved shirt they extend past the sleeves.

Growing up, my family read the book Jotham's Journey every year for Advent. Even when my dad was out of town he would call us on the phone and read it from a hotel room.  When the other books in the series came out we acquired them and read them through as well. My mother has four copies of Jotham's journey, one for herself and one for each of her children once they have kids. She also has a copy of Tabitha's Journey for my sister and Bartholomew's Passage for my brother.
They are an excellent series!
