Question: Not worth the low Prime day price I paid. Not worth the regular price

The plastic hose on this is very long and since it is plastic, it does not flex very well. It is very stiff and tends to always be awkwardly in the way. Also, the connects leak. I have tried with and without Teflon tape. It still leaks. I bought of two of these and they both have the same issue. I replaced two that were having issues from hard water. These new sprayers seem to have a much lower pressure than those that they replaced. If I had not got these on Prime day at a good price I would not recommend them.

The thing that I do like is there is a bit of grip surface on the back that allows you to have a good hold on it.

Returned after opening. Many of the metal pieces were bent. The holes where the screws go in were scratched up and dented. both plastics shelves were broke. Amazon was great and refunded but this is cheaply made and yard sale quality.

Question: comfy/durable and light-fast

I only wear these for runs which are of varied length. normally i run on flat smooth surfaces which they are a dream for. Recently ran a 5k that was on several different terrains or surfaces  and they held up extremely well.

Not as tight - like a normal compression short - should feel.  Haven't worn them while I'm playing basketball yet, but they're def thinner than my UA Core Compression Shorts.

Question: I love this in the picture

I love this in the picture, but I don't know if it's because the way It was packaged, in a bag and then jammed into my mailbox...it's not anywhere near as pretty as the picture.  I had to return it.  Even for the cheap price, I was very surprised at the poor quality.

Just like being a part of my families history! Remembering what used to be and what has changed so much and in so many ways...people, places, lives.

These socks are fantastic! I purchased them to alleviate the corns that form between my 4th and pinkie toes. The socks did not disappoint. They fit perfectly and separated my toes enough to stop the constant friction. I will be purchasing them again soon!

I noticed some reviews mentioned the toe lengths were too short. I did not find that the case. If you think you have long toes, these may not work for you.

The stocking is cute, and my daughter will be happy with it. However, I felt the images of the ponies was not as high quality as I expected for the price.

Question: You really need to pay attention to a few areas in the directions when putting together certain parts or you may find you did it

Once I put it all together, this bookcase appeared larger in person to me. It took me awhile to piece together. You really need to pay attention to a few areas in the directions when putting together certain parts or you may find you did it backwards like me and have to start over! It looks the same color and style as the picture. It should provide the right amount of book storage that I was looking for. Overall I'm pleased and it looks nice. I really love the color.

Screws came in little packets that were labelled step1, 2, etc. There were only 5 steps and I put the whole thing together under an hour at a leisure pace. The pedals had lots of warnings on not to screw them against the thread.

I am adding a video of the noise. It's significant. I wish there was prior warning about this. Can someone tell me if this the case with their bike as well?

Question: A poetic primer on Australian aborigines

When I first migrated to Australia in 1983, I immediately started asking questions about the country's indigenous aborigines. For me, it was simple curiosity. New Zealand, where I'd come from, had imperfect race relations,  but Maori dances, hakas, and creation stories were taught from primary  level at every school. Like many "Pakeha" (white) New Zealanders,  I had a part-Maori partner - whom I later married. In Perth, however,  no-one I spoke to, including white journalists with whom I worked, could  tell me what the "Dreamtime" spoken about in aboriginal culture  meant. Their demeanour suggested the very questions displayed a lack of  taste.
  Strange then, that it should have been a Briton who gave me  my first insights - to have the boldness both to outline and celebrate the  unique richness of Aboriginal cosmology, and to put it in the context of  the great nomadic traditions of human life. This is beautifully written,  wry and teasing; it respects aboriginality, but shows a lightness of touch  rare in this particularly fraught field.
  Arguments have been made  against this book on anthropological grounds, and on the grounds that no  non-aboriginal person should presume to write about such matters. There may  be merit in  these points of view; I am simply grateful that Chatwin turned  his brilliance to this subject. I find this book as illuminating and as  life-affirming now, as when I first read it many years ago.
  Other  books I can recommend, although more prosaic in style, are Geoffrey  Blainey's "The Triumph of the Nomads", Henry Reynolds'  "Frontier" and "Why Weren't We Told" and the official  reports into the so-called "Stolen Generation" and the Royal  Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.
There is still a way to  go.

This is a great book flows smoothly, keeps you wondering and goes through the lives of the tribe and their struggles and heart aches.  If I didn't already have the book I would by it again

Question: Bought it for a European trip that lasted a month ...

Bought it for a European trip that lasted a month. The bag was falling apart by the end of it. However i still use it so it has some character. I will ultimately be dissatisfied because it will just fall completely apart very soon.

Just got this yesterday.  Replacing an old wireless Microsoft travel mouse that uses a USB port.  Chose this mouse because it has Bluetooth and two side buttons.

First impressions - pairing with my mac went ok.  The instructions were clear, but I had to reference both "Windows 10" and "Mac OS X" sections when pairing with the mac as the Mac instructions don't call out the need/possibility to make the mouse discoverable (by holding down four buttons - left/right mouse+scroll+dpi) like the Windows instructions describe.

Functionality is what you'd expect from a mouse - all buttons work.
Feel is also what I'd expect from a travel mouse - smaller than a 'full time' mouse, but comfortable in my hand.

Four stars out of five only because the feel is a little lightweight-plastic-y (which some may want in a travel mouse?) and I tend to reserve five stars for truly exceptional products.
Once the 'first impression' period is over (will be traveling soon and using it more extensively), so if any problems are encountered, I'll update the review.

I clearly didn't read the specs closely enough and these don't have the built in shelf bra which I thought they did. I don't need the extra bra part but I have noticed that camisoles without that usually roll up more for whatever reason. These do not at all. I love them! I wear one every day under my "real shirt". They would be too thin and see-through on their own.

Bought as a gift, girlfriend loves the case and being able to store debit card, id and items inside case.

It's a decent case but the plastic panel/window is too damn soft. If you intend to clean it use a REALLY soft cloth. A PAPER TOWEL WILL SCRATCH IT (I didn't know this so mine is all scratched up now). It's so soft you can scratch the window with your fingernail so be careful. Otherwise yeah it's pretty nice.

3 stars: would accidentally scratch again.

Question: Berglund knows Sibelius

Berglund as conductor covered Sibelius for some 40-50 years. He knows every note and corrected errors in the printed Symphony 7 from Hansen.

There is some variation of the orchestras here. The Helsinki set is pretty much as close to a standard interpretaion as you can get. I am listening to Sibelius not Berglund conducting Sibelius. The Bournemouth pieces are fine too.

Some may like a little more passion to the performances, but actually the Finnish character is like this, a little more restraint. It also distinguishes Sibelius from other composers. The gas pedal is not to the floor for minutes at a time as it is with Tchaikovsky.

Enjoy. I think very few will complain. The tone poems and related works are also on an EMI two CD set. The Helsinki Symphonies can also be bought as two 2CD sets, if you can't find this box.

Absolutely magnificent!  No matter how many times you listen to this song cycle, it never gets old and Kaufmanndoes a magnificent job and blends perfectly with the piano accompaniment of Deutch.  Buy it!

Question: Amazing! I took this case on an island hopping ...

Amazing! I took this case on an island hopping trip in Panama/San Blas Islands and it was roomy enough to protect my Mac air, iphone and a couple other items. It doesn't add bulk and is great for travel.

I am not a sound expert, but I do know good sound from meh sound to bad sound. Truth be told, I bought this speaker while I was somewhat tipsy scrolling through FB. I had seen their ad more than what I thought was normal, so I said whatever, I'll buy it. Next day, got a notification that said my order had been shipped. I said what order? Then I said, oh yeah, that order. It arrived on time in a huge box, like a box that is way bigger than the speaker, don't ask me why. The speaker wasn't damaged and arrived in pristine condition, so there must be some strategy behind the overwhelmingly ginormous box. Since I decided to purchase this speaker after I had enjoyed a few drinks, I was totally willing to go through the hassle of returning the speaker if it sucked in any way shape or form. Upon opening, I was impressed with the weight, design, and the feel of the volume knob (having a smooth volume knob is for some reason a sign of quality to me). Upon turning on, I was impressed with how easily it wirelessly connected to my phone, laptop, and tablet which is a difference maker in my opinion. I tested the sound, rather I tried to break the speaker with several different songs at max volume. How did it perform? Buy the speaker yourself and find out. The only thing I would change is getting rid of aiwa on the face of the speaker, people will ask what brand the speaker is, if the sound speaks for itself.

Picked this beauty up at DSW for a great price and in a color that apparently is not made anymore...ruby. This explorer style is substantial and the zipper fobs look to be real brass. Wow. But mostly, the leather quality if superb. Butter soft and smells great, too.

The zippers run smoothly and easily, the credit card slots are just right in tightness and width. And unlike some leather wallets, the INSIDE of it is 100% leather, too.

Another great product from Fossil. I'm going to go look for the Explorer bag that goes with this. Hope it's as beautiful!

Question: Don't need it with my iPhone 2G

Well, after reading all of the reviews, I'd say that I don't need this cable. I have the AVH-P3100DVD head unit and iPhone first generation, 2G, and I use my regular white cable that came with my iPhone. It works great. I only need to plug that cable to the iPhone and plug to the USB port on the HU. I don't even need the audio cable. This is why I say it does give you line out audio level. It does not need the audio cable at all. And the volume on the iPhone does not affect anything. You can turn the volume to 0 or to 100, the sound is still the same. I can access my playlists, Songs or Artists or Genre just fine. Sound quality sounds great. I love it.

I had the unit for 1 year, and had my iPhone for 3 years and I hate using iPhone for phone, so it just sits there collecting dust. I was so into my Blackberry and forgot about the iPhone I had. Now it works even better than my BB for playing music through the P3100DVD. That's just my regret for not using the iPhone sooner.

This is an excellent prophylactic for the iTouch!!  Should be named the "iTouch Trojan!"

Question: I'll be getting another one

I love this nail file. I wish it came in purple.  I will be getting another for my purse eventually, to have with me wherever I am.  I got it originally because I'm (recently) allergic to the materials used to make regular files and had to toss my others.  Glass (crystal) works and I'm so glad it does.  My nails have no rough spots to snag or scratch.  The ends are smooth and I haven't broken or torn one since I've been using this file as it doesn't seem to weaken my nails like the metal and sandy, abrasive ones did.  Thank you for a lovely product!

Back panel tore first time it was put on.  There was plenty of room because I purchased it for my daughter to 'grow into'.  Ergo the quality wasn't high.

Question: Beautifully Breathtaking

From start to finish, this series has been beautifully breathtaking in all of its heavenly awe moments. Its been nail biting intense with those hold your breath scenes. My heart has ached, been overjoyed, refreshed and enriched by the words that Ms. Hall has so lovingly placed before us. Dominion in particular was chalk full of twists that kept the tears flowing and the heart racing. Audrey is such an imperfectly perfect character! She is fierce in protecting those she loves, but possess these sweet and endearing qualities. She's someone that you would feel so blessed to actually be able to call your friend.... And in a way, she is a friend, a very close one. Logan is the guy that all the girls wanna catch! He's only got eyes for Audrey and interest in making plans for their eternity together. With Satan plotting and scheming it seems that any happy ending is impossible. The conclusion leaves the reader hanging and holding our breath, because that simply cannot be the end!! I found a character that pulled upon my heartstrings and his story made my cry all of those terribly ugly big fat tears, but his spirit and amazing attitude blessed me so very much and gave me a gift! There really isn't any character that doesn't evoke strong emotions from you. They're all so gloriously fleshed out and each so uniquely individual  Ms. Hall is so very gifted and so eloquently tells such a beautiful story! Her words comfort, soothe, bless and touch you in ways that leave a lasting impression upon your heart and soul

I found it interesting, Many parts new to me, areas of history I had not studied.  I should have had a map beside me to facilitate my understanding

Bought it larger than needed for room to grow, and it was kind of snug on sides already upon arrival. I had done research and they said to buy big and that is what I did.  Shoe broke apart at the sole within 2 months. Now, I am not sure what the case is, whether it is where Nike bought out the brand back in 2012 and quality suffered or maybe I just got a bad pair, but I don't think these are the Cons we are used to.

Question: Bought this for a Ballroom Dancing class- didn't have to use it.. wasn't much help anyways

The foot prints are hard to follow... Too much reading.. I had to basically teach my partner instead of my teachers and using this book to catch up for the one day I missed sucked.

This book would be great for someone just starting out riding, and having "issues" that need solving. The book is packed with pictures and accompanying descriptions.  It covers basic flat work and jumping.  A wide variety of rider error is covered in this book, and might be useful for an instructor as a schooling guide.
This book does not cover more detailed dressage moves, or more complicated manoevers like multiple jumps.  If you are looking for a solution to fix a horse that is counter-flexing or rushing fences on a course, this is not the book for you.  It's a good book, but not as useful for an experienced rider.

With this one it barely moves from just under 70 to just over 70. Maybe all that friction from the noise is creating heat.

Still Missing is full of twists and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out it would take another turn. Excellent!!!

Question: Meets highest expections.

Total good experience! Color exactly as hoped and expected, size beautifully coordinates visually at the end of my kingsized bed and functions perfectly for hosting my folded down bedspread at night, storing lots of linens in the storage area, and for sitting on by my husband I to put on shoes in the morning (even both at the same time). Styling and vinyl fabric also have quality high end look.  Price was excellent and delivery fast and convenient.

Exactly what I expected. Good wrist rest that didn't fall apart or deteriorate.

Question: Not too sure about this one

You have to angle it!  It doesn't work if you put it straight you have to come at an angle. Once I figured that out it works great.  Good for the price.

<input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/D1HAuBLfmHS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71UQcYxjHvS.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> I was able to see the decisions that were driving my life and re-align them based on value's that are important to me.  Also, the awareness I developed of myself and the way I interact and make choices, put me in the driver's seat rather than getting taken for a ride by cultural, emotional, and other influences.

That's the coolest part of all.

The book's format is like an invitation to be part of this really personal conversation between Mick Quinn and the person he is coaching.  So, it's in-depth and real.

I wish that more teenagers get access to this kind of awareness of themselves, so they can be free from the jail cell that their emotions throw them in and really feel in-charge of their lives.

A great gift item for someone that wants to reach their full potential and develop a new awareness.

Question: Amazing paintbrush set!

These are the best paintbrushes I've ever owned to paint models. Great for detailing and the handles are very comfortable and easy to control. Will definitely buy more should anything happen to any of theses but I don't see that happening in the near future.

Got these for my daughters birthday last month. So very cute and colorful they enjoys changing them out daily.

Question: Beautiful & solid design

This was purchased as external backup - it's quiet and lovely.  The blue LED reflects off the surface (desktop) so you know when it's in use.  Easy to use backup software included, but not robust enough for a power user or tech-geek (use cobian!).

The USB cable is kinda short, about 8", so if you're not planning on placing this directly next to or on the box you're backing up plan to purchase or use a different USB cable.

I was skeptical when I first received because it's so thin but it has protected my phone through a few drops and is stylish to boot!

Question: Do not buy unless you need a hand exerciser, rather than a can opener !

Wow, this cute little can opener is a piece of poorly designed junk.  I'm a BIG guy with unusually strong hands, and I need to work HARD to get the lid off of any can.  DO NOT purchase this lousy product unless you intend to use it as a hand exerciser.

Customer service response quickly and product works as expected. Edit on June 2017: this was a 5 star but the batteries were so hard to get in and out I ended up breaking the top just trying to fit them in. I dreaded every time I had to change the batteries. Ended up throwing it away.

Question: This book is a complete do-it-yourself to good health

I've consulted this book on many occasions for information on how to improve not only my own health, but the health of friends.  It is an excellent reference guide for most common ailments as well as most herbs  and what they are good for.  Louise also covers vitamins & minerals  etc., what they are used for and what depletes them from your system.  My  opinion is that every mom should have a copy of this book.

I got this as a gift a while ago and use it all the time. I bought it for my sister-in-law, who also loves it. Great recipes, easy to adjust.

Question: A "Must-Have" Group Series!

As a past Small Groups Coordinator, I highly recommend the Growing Out series! It's equipping and challenging and will impact individual and groups' lives. Grow your people in deep and siginificant ways, encouraging them to explore and become who God created them to be, reaching out to others, and having a life-changing impact on their communities and world.

This isn't a fix everything and everyone series. It's not a program - where you can insert people, check studies off the list and have cookie-cutter Christians ready for ministry and service exit the program. This is a realistic series, meeting each person where he/she is and equipping each person to grow in his/her relationship with God, and, as an outflow, with others.

If you like predictable, fill-in-the-blank, completion-certificate studies, the Growing Out series isn't for you. The Growing Out series reflects the realities of living in a messy life...and challenges people to cope with the reality of life, strive to impact others' lives, and dig into a deeper relationship with God. The series is designed around seasons...just like life. Jump in where you are. Take your time going through each season but don't be content to stay in one too long.

Each session includes the essentials small group studies need to fully impact lives: engaging opening experiences to help everyone connect, study and reflection of God's Word, significant personal application, and challenges to apply the lessons outside the group. The Walk It Out, or  application, section meets people where they are, allowing individuals to choose the challenge which best fits their faith stage and learning style.

Growing Out makes leading easy for leaders with it's tips and guidance. With the leaders' information given on the left pages and the participant information on the right pages, leaders have easy access to the information they need, instead of juggling two books or two sections of a book, and emerging leaders can get used to leadership tools and tips while studying.

The Growing Out series doesn't just grow disciples...it guides disciples to disciple others just as God intends. I highly recommend the Growing Out series and am confident it will transform individuals and groups in your church and throughout your community.

We've enjoyed these books since my daughter was born. And watching her interact with our reading as she's grown is such a precious memory. And who doesn't love the Sesame Street gang?

Question: Excellent DSL modem/router

After a nightmare experience attempting to set up a Linksys router with my Verizon DSL, I came upon this gateway. The modem/router recognizes the configuration required by the DSL provider and sets up immediately. I didn't experience any of the frustration of trying to determine settings for the modem and router. My DSL source comes in through a basement phone line so I was expecting spotty wireless connections, however I have been surprised by the strong signals I get throughout my ranch and into the back yard. Very pleased with this product.

piece of cake to plug in and use. like it better than a couple others I've tried in the past.

Question: Story is wonderful, Kindle transcription is bad

This is an excellent story written in a beautiful style, paving the way for the Gothic romance genre.  It is a book I will always remember. The characters are very believable, and are equally loved or hated by the reader.  I did find that the author's numerous, extensive descriptions of the characters' surroundings were a bit irritating(how many pages does it take to explain how beautiful the pine forest looks from a carriage?), and after the first dozen or so I tended to skip over them after grasping the basic impression. The reason I rated this only a 3 is because of the transcription into Kindle format. There are probably hundreds of misplaced commas in the text which made for difficult reading at times.  I had to re-read a LOT of the paragraphs to understand the author's intended point, and finally learned just to ignore them as I read. Other than that, I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in the Gothic genre.

A brief comment on the printing of this book:  the typeface was lighter and smaller than some, making the task of reading a bit harder than usual.  If possible the publisher (Stratus Books) might put more ink on the press, or enlarge the size of face.  Thank you.

Question: Strong chemical smell

Product arrived on time. However once I opened the plastic that it came wrapped in, this horrid chemical smell filled the room. I handle the product with my hands and it took several rounds of washing them with a strong soap to get them smell off of them. The smell was so strong and so horrid it caused a headache. I packaged it back and within 10 mins of opening it and returned it to Amazon the next morning.

I had nothing but problems with this unit and eventually threw it away (wish I had read the reviews and called Kiddie to get it replaced).  If the power went out, it would alarm.  If I used hairspray two rooms away, it would alarm.  If I used the stove or something burned on a unit, it would alarm.  The final straw was during a power outage at about 2:00 am when it went off and, not knowing what to do, I called 911 and had the fire department come out.  There was no explosive gas or CO at all.  It was just blaring for no reason.

Question: Prophesied the antichrist takeover of the US government by disciples of Saul Alinsky

Probably the best book ever written on the antichrist. Fr. Miceli prophesies in this book the takeover of the US government by antichrist disciples of Saul Alinsky - Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.  Should be required reading in all Catholic high schools and adult education programs.

Were I to rate this on writing style and grammar it would be a solid 3 stars. Mr Wolff, sentences don't end in prepositions and you don't make up for that lack in esoterica,  'k?

Now, about the subject matter...
I've been comparing the story with my own notes of the past year and they align.
Comparing Trump's speeches also align.
Comparing the behaviour of those involved with news reports and the book align.

I don't know if the book is absolutely factual.  I don't know that it isn't.  I do know it reflects the current administration I see.  If that is an unflattering reflection,  it is not up to the author or the reader to correct.
That duty falls squarely on the president... if he were able.

Question: Will likely appeal to readers of all ages

Shelia Turnage has followed up her Newbery Honor book THREE TIMES LUCKY with THE GHOSTS OF TUPELO LANDING, which features the same eclectic characters and wacky small town. The story is told through the eyes of the main character, Miss Moses Mo LoBeau. Mo is dealing with the heightened expectations of being a 6th grader as well as managing the work of the Desperado Detective Agency, which she formed with her best friend Dale Earnhardt Johnson III (the inseparable duo solved a murder and a kidnapping in THREE TIMES LUCKY). Their newest case involves another potential murder, but the victim died long ago and now haunts the Tupelo Inn.

The Tupelo Inn and its resident ghost are shoved into the spotlight when the Inn, and all of its contents, are put up for auction. In her well-meaning way, Miss Lana, one of Mos guardians, unintentionally buys the Inn. Grandmother Miss Lacy Thornton steps in to help Miss Lana financially and professionally, but if they cant figure out a way to make the Inn profitable, both will go down with it. As Mo and Dale spend more time at the Inn during its renovation, they discover proof of the ghost and eventually befriend her. Mo, who is always looking for both a mystery to solve and extra credit in school, decides that she and Dale will make the ghost the subject of their history interview, which is a significant portion of their history grade. However, how are they going to discover who the ghost is, and, more importantly, how will they interview her? Along the way, they stumble upon more town mysteries and secrets. Can they solve the case, interview the ghost and pass history?

Turnage has a gift for creating weird but relatable characters who have flaws and quirks just like real people. This shone through in THREE TIMES LUCKY and she brings the same considerable skill to THE GHOSTS OF TUPELO LANDING. Mo is a strong and spunky female character who will likely appeal to readers of all ages and genders. Dales personality is given more room to develop in THE GHOSTS OF TUPELO LANDING and in addition to his loyalty to Mo, he is revealed to be a sensitive soul and a creative problem solver in his own right.

Turnage has also mastered the integration of unique descriptions and unusual phrases; these often made me stop to laugh out loud, reread or simply appreciate the perfect word play. For example, at the beginning of Chapter 19, an old couch is described as the color of tired baloney (pg. 163). Dale is often the source of strange phrases, such as, You two got ghost noseslike ghost eyes, only with nostrils (pg. 290). Mo has come to understand and appreciate Dales expressions, as will readers.

Having read THREE TIMES LUCKY, I was excited to return to Tupelo Landing and to visit with Mo, Dale and all the others again. Those who haven't read THREE TIMES LUCKY will have no problem jumping right in with THE GHOSTS OF TUPELO LANDING, as it can stand alone. While I enjoyed my return visit, I feel like THE GHOSTS OF TUPELO LANDING starts to fall apart a bit in its storyline. The conflict, which is hundreds of pages in the making, is quickly and neatly solved, and as such it feels like a rushed and inauthentic ending to this latest visit to Tupelo Landing.

I bought this book for my nephew and am thrilled with the storyline!  The underlying message of healthy eating is an added bonus to a charming story!

Question: Not Just for Beginners

At first glance Bowling Fundamentals, Second Edition would appear to be an excellent book for the beginning bowler.  This is absolutely correct.  However, if you are and advanced bowler don't think this book has nothing to offer you.  It has a wealth of knowledge and insight that anyone, at any level in their bowling career, can use and appreciate to help them.
What is excellent about this book is the way the chapters are laid out in a systematic way.  The beginning chapters feature content, photographs, and illustrations that are designed to help the vast majority of novice and beginning bowlers.  Each succeeding chapter builds on lessons in the prior chapters, which in my opinion; make this book an excellent tool and resource for bowlers of all levels.
The book starts out with one of the most important parts of bowling, but often the part that the beginning bowler thinks about the least, bowling ball fit.  Anyone who reads this will understand the vital role that bowling ball fit plays in bowling your best.  Each succeeding chapter builds on this in a step by step manner addressing ball fit, ball types, stance, approach and timing, finish, arm swing, finish position, and release, just to name a few highlights.  A lot of excellent information is presented.  So much so that you will find yourself going over these sections again and again, depending on what part of your game you are working on.
Learning how to actually deliver the ball is only half the battle in bowling.  There is a little something between you and the pins and that is the oil on the lane meant to protect the lane but also create an opportunity to increase or decrease difficulty in achieving high scores.  Learning the best possible way to play the lane is so important that two chapters are devoted to it.  Again, these chapters are for all levels of bowling and even the most experienced bowlers can gain insight from it.
If you have ever been to a bowling establishment, you will know what just happened when you hear a loud roar.someone just bowled a strike, or maybe more than one.  That is obviously the goal, knock down all ten pins.  But what happens when you don't knock them down on the first shot?  You will have to work and pick up that spare.  Spares aren't as glamorous as strikes, but the key to being a high average bowler is to make spares consistently.  Once again, this is such an important part of bowling two chapters are devoted to it.  It is one thing to have learned how to bowl correctly, but knowing the proper way to pick up any combination of pins left after the first ball is another highlight in this book.
Finally, the part of the book that hit home for me speaking from personal experience seeing my children, other children, and many adults over the last several years is the chapter on the Mental Game.  I think the lessons in this chapter apply to not only bowling, but pretty much any endeavor one could take on.  We aren't perfect, we won't bowl perfectly, and how we handle it when things don't go our way will play a big role in how we progress from game to game, week to week, and even year to year.  If you are working really hard to raise your average but just cant seem to get that improvement you desire, I bet the lessons in this chapter may just be the key to helping you get past that hurdle.
Of course this book is an excellent reference book on how to bowl, and I cant touch on everything, but it doesnt read like a typical reference book.  Yes, there are step by step instructions helping you learn specific things.  There are also drills, and stories and anecdotes from the authors bowling career and coaching career.  When I am trying to learn something new, bowling or otherwise, I feel it helps me to have some other context to attach the material other than just do a step by step procedure.  In my opinion, this extra material along with the excellent how to bowl better coaching, puts this book over the top and makes it an absolute necessity for anyone who wants to improve their game and have fun while doing it.

This book has joined my collection and I have found it to be a good resource book.. Full of useful information as are all Scott Cunninghams books.. Would recommend

Question: Used this phone for a full year now. Still using it BUT it is not perfect.

Probably bought this at Amazon don't recall but I am a very loyal Amazon customer so it's rather likely I did. There is a bit of a learning curve to get acquainted with this product. One IMPORTANT item is that you MUST grant permission for the Skypmate software (needed for this phone)to establish a link to your Skype program that needs to already be running on your PC. The Skype program will alert you but older versions of Skype do not give a very noticeable announcement that SkypeMate wanted to connect. That's it .... all the regular nuiscances and inadequacies of Skype wil remain the same! But if you don't give Skype permission to CONNECT with SkypeMate (the software this phone needs) it will never work. The past year I've used Skype and this phone as my full-time landline..despite some shortcomings Skype and SkypeMate software have improved vastly and with my Skype Out and Skype In subscriptions my USA unlimited local -and- domestic LD telephone service is less than $7 monthly...I can deal with a few lingering quirks till it's 100% perfect. My cordless range is an easy 100 ft or more as I have tested from outside my home in the yard with my PC way off in the back part of the house. I RECOMMEND this product since I have it AND have seen it improve vastly the past year and is an easy-to-install "plug and play" item for Windows.

Loved the look of this case and feel once I first got it. But after a couple of drops I had a couple chunks missing from the case.

It's cheap but for this price, you expect that. I've learned my lesson that if I'm as clumsy as I know I am, I should invest in a better case.

Only giving 3 stars because of the look, otherwise I would give it a 2.

Looking for another year or two of good coffee.  These filters do the trick even for high-quality tap water.

Got this as a gift for Father's Day (so I can't write a "Verified Purchase" review). Horrible. Cheap plastic, it leaks (silicone seal does not fit right). The infuser sleeve is almost impossible to screw back on and it shaves off little black pieces of plastic from the part it attaches to.

Not sure how it got so many great reviews, it is JUNK.

Question: it finally completely broke after little more than a year...

I bought this machine because it was cheap. While it ran it produced ok espresso.

The first issue was that the steam nozzle wouldn't shut of completely. So while trying to make espresso, part of the water was always pushed through the steam nozzle. This is obviously not helpful.

Next was a great leak. The water no longer stays in the machine, but leaks out the bottom. It's my own fault, I should have spent more rather than having to buy it twice...

Original:  Used these as desk headphones in my office.  4 months and the top support snapped in half.  Very cheaply made

Question: Good Toast, Low Price!

Very simply, this toaster does its job well. No muss, no fuss, just make toast! Note that this model does not have the button for automatic warming. Then again, it does not have what others describe as an annoying buzzer when the toast is done (both of those features are on a most expensive model).

The title is a bit of an overstatement, but I suppose The Big Book of Light, Frothy, Pretty Good Quotes wouldn't have the same impact. This is still a fun book. Byrne sometimes tries a bit too hard to be clever, and I particularly wish that when quoting tv shows or movies he showed the courtesy of citing that actual scriptwriter.
But these are quibbles. For about a half-cent per quote this is a good deal. There's something fun on every page, and the organizational approach of allowing one topic to flow into another related topic allows this to flow much better than other similar books (an index still lets you find particular quotes on demand).
If you enjoy this, Laurence Peter's Quotation collection is a somewhat higher quality work with the same sort of attitude.

Question: Great tool to help in the fight with overeating!

This box set is a wonderful tool for anyone having problems with their eating habits.  I really enjoyed the second book, I found it very informative and helpful in battling emotional eating and avoiding temptations for overeating and binge eating.  It is so important to know what your personal triggers are to begin with and to identify other causes that might be leading you to this path.  Food is a necessity but can become addictive and since it is all around us it is very hard to control yourself when you are in a state of binge eating.  It is easy to lose yourself in the satisfaction of the food and the temporary feelings it can create.  This set of books is a great combination to help anyone who is unsure how to identify their problems and to help understand when seeking medical advice is needed.  I recommend this book as a great educational tool in battling this problem and being a prone to boughts of this myself it came at the right time for me.

Question: Unit Malfunctioned After 14 Months, Warranty Support was Dismal!

After 14 months of reliable operation, the unit stopped functioning.  After spending a combined hour on the phone with tech service, Arris agreed to replace the unit (2 Year Warranty).  Where Arris falls down is that in todays world we are tied to the internet via our modem/router.  Without service work, school and leisure activities are impacted.  They offer a replacement AFTER they receive the broken unit (they take a cc number in any case).  They will send the unit out at no charge via snail mail (5-7 business days).  Adding up the time, you will be without your modem/server for the better part of two weeks.  They offer an upgrade for a price.  They will send the replacement unit immediately for $9.50 via snail mail or various expedited shipping options (up to $39 for next day).  So there unit fails and you are left without internet for two weeks or you need to pay to replace their defective unit (presumably you paid already paid shipping to get the unit initially).  Arris needs to get a clue, stand behind their product, and not impact their customer!

Broken out of the box - battery won't charge. Sometimes buying is OK, but not this time! Thank goodness for Amazon's excellent return policy!

Question: This rug is beautiful! It goes perfectly with the lavender

This rug is beautiful!  It goes perfectly with the lavender, light green, and grey colors in my bedroom.  It's much larger than I expected as well, so that was a nice surprise.

fails to turn to blue and purple. was hoping to have a conversation piece and something soothing at night, this does not apply with the malfunction of the product.

Question: Great Campaign Stakes.

Perfect upgrades to the tiny stakes that come with most tents. Hammered in easily and stayed down even in wet, loose soil conditions.

Question: Does not work well in the daylight hours

Concept is great! Unfortunately the information is illegible in the daylight and there is no way to make the information brighter.

It was easy to install and operate. The gps attachment provides accurate time, date, and position. The playback is user friendly. I use it all the time and like it.

Question: Not what I the description implies. The material is very thin.

Not what I expected. The material is very thin and I haven't put them on yet. I think I need help because the directions were not very helpful. I got them yesterday and the floor mats look nice, but i just read a review that they may not hold up. So far I am not very happy with my purchase, but I will give it a shot and hope it works for the best. I like the mats, so that is one point in their favor. For future reference ---- I NEED TO READ REVIEWS!! If I would have read the reviews on this, I would not have ordered it. If you are looking for a quick fix, then this may be what you need, and I would guess they might stay in place if you are using them to cover fabric seats. I bought them because I have the leather like seats and they stick to me like crazy in the summer, and I wanted to protect them from wear and tear. If these end up sliding, then it will have defeated the purpose of my purchase.

I fhave be the product to be flimsy. Does not hold a water bottle well. Anything heavy pulls the Velcro open

Question: this is good, basic step aerobics

As advertised, this is good, basic step aerobics.  The music could be improved to be a bit more motivating or energetic but the step routine is good basic exercise for those who love stepping.  Gin's routines are easy to follow but give you plenty of options for low or high impact.

I bought this for my Granddaughters birthday and she loved it! It was raining on the day of her birthday so she spent the day riding it in the house.  Great Fun and Exercise!!!

Question: a good all-purpose running/walking shoe

I use these for running on concrete, mainly, in the city. They're comfortable and sturdy, and the color is really nice. They would probably be too heavy for speed running or marathons, but for 4-5 mile runs they're perfect.

Punched lots of holes in my terrible rental house lawn. I didn't do anything aside from spreading some clover seed, wearing these aerator shoes and crossing my fingers. The clover, dandelions and patches of fescue have never looked better. Imagine what they could do for a better lawn.

Question: The man said he'd be back!!

Terminator 2 is off the hook! The movie does a great job of picking up where it left off in the original. T2 is the perfect enemy for John Connor and the Terminator. He's faster and smarter but has his weaknesses as well. Edward Furlong does a great job as John, and Linda Hamilton plays Sara wonderfully. She is exactly the way you would have pictured a woman who was told in the past that her future child would save the world. This movie is filled with action and great special fx. This is a must see.

The "Stretch to Fit" mattress cover does just that.  I have a very deep mattress and this cover did the job perfectly and it's very comfortable.
 So far I am pleased.

Works as described. Doesn't wake me up, but not much does. In combination with regular alarm I wake up alert instead of groggy, so it's made mornings better.

Question: It is probably better suited to a 60 or 72 bass size or ...

Solid, well built bag, with backpack straps. There is also a front zip pouch for music books. There is padding all around and clips on the tap, with a handle for hand carrying.  The only issue I have is that it is way too big for my 48 Bass Weltmeister. I did check the dimensions before buying very carefully, but the 48 bass is drowning inside the bag. It is probably better suited to a 60 or 72 bass size or larger models of the 48 bass.

It was advertised as an item that other's had bought with their 8 quart pressure cooker and so I ordered it not knowing if my pot would come with one or not. It was actually for a 6 quart. Buy your pot first and then wait the 3 weeks it took to receive this item to see if it actually fits.

Question: This isn't a FRIDAY THE 13th body count film

Some people may look at the cover and title of this film and expect it to be an 80s slasher film with a high body count, but this particular film is a little different.  It doesn't have a high body count, but the kills linger on the graphic and gory details.  The film has a psycho who talks and quacks like a duck. I thought this is different and original compared to other 80s slasher films.  In between the kills the film basically switches between a detective trying to solve the case, a nymphomaniac who sleeps with and gets fondled by strangers, and another girl who escaped from the killer.  The kills in the film are much nastier and have more impact than what you would find in a FRIDAY THE 13th film, and some may find them disturbing.  There's also a lot of nudity and some of it is very explicit.  In one scene Alexandra Colli, the one who plays the nyphomaniac, has a stranger fondle her underneath a table with his feet, and she also has another nude scene which is full frontal and explicit.  Zora Kerova, another really good looking woman, has a really good nude scene as well. Other nude scenes are also present; it certainly delivers plenty of nudity. The film is also very well directed, and it's main soundtrack is a very 80s style music score that I thought was very catchy.  However, I think some people may find the film to be a little boring at times.  It doesn't have the misty and windy atmosphere that you would find in some of Fulci's other films, and some people might think that it gets a little too talky at times for a slasher film.  The entire movie has a nice 80s grindhouse feel; and I think it's one of Fulci's best films, but not everyone will like it.

The DVD quality is great and there's a good interview with Zora Kerova. I've got both the standard DVD and the Blu-ray. The Blu-ray is the proper way to see it as you get a really clear look at all the full nudity and graphic gore. Also check those then and now pictures of NY City on those extras.

A great bedtime read, you will love Kit and the rest of the characters.  No blood and guts here, just a good old who done it.

Question: Used as an office chair -- love it!

I want to sit on this everywhere I sit now.
Very comfortable, I no longer have back pain. I bought the 65cm ball... I am 5'4 and this fits perfectly for me.

I love the fact that it has a weighted bottom... it keeps it from rolling away when I am not using it.

5/5 for me!

I work from home for a Fortune 500 Corporation, so all work that is not filed must be shredded.  This model is by far the best for the money and gets the job done.

I have tried many security programs, and I like this one the best.
The program blends well with programs already on my system.  The program alerts me promply when a virus is detected, it just seens to flow with the system without it always being in way of preforming activities on the computer.

Flimsy metal and the post will not hold up.  I actually have a security system but they do not supply signs - it figures Comcast.  The stickers are fine.

Question: Interesting storyline....where will it go?

I really know nothing of writing a review but The Core (Equilibrium Book 1) just pulled me into the world that Kate Thomas built there.  The characters were compelling. I wanted to know more about them and how they were woven together and where they would go from here. I want to know what all of these 'abilities' are and how they are used.  I want to know why sometimes there is not enough bad in the world and why balance is so important.  So many questions....

Let me say I have not been addicted to a book in about 10 years !!! This story is every thing . I was hook the second I read part 1 and had to email the author just to figure when part 2 was available. This is the best story I have read in a long time and is definitely one of my favorites . I can not wait for part 3 .
Just might email the author to see when that is coming NEXT !!!

I hope there is a happy ending .. PLEASE

Question: Some places were perfect, some too tight and others way to loose ...

Returning these. The fit was really off. Some places were perfect, some too tight and others way to loose  (and not even in the legs where they should have been). The waist was comfortable but with a yoga top I expected to be able to fold it over and have some tummy support like with yoga pants which I didn't get. Maybe I needed to go down a size? The print was amazing though

The internal velcro tab used to adjust the size fell off the moment I tried it on out of the box.  You get what you pay for.  Bought it for a few pictures when we go to South Africa in a few weeks, Its not worth the hassle of returning it.  I'll glue it back on & It'll do.

I love the pull over But I ordered a medium and recieved a large. Didnt have time to return it as I needed it for a trip

This shirt was so tiny that I gave it to my daughter who wears size 2 clothing.  It was supposed to be a large, but definitely someone's idea of sizes is really off.  Also, the shirt was very thin.  Since my daughter goes running, perhaps it will be useful for her as a laying shirt.  Would not recommend anyone buy this shirt unless you have someone else to give it to.

Question: Different type of alien

The movie sure made you wish you didn't want to encounter these energy consuming creatures. You didn't stand a chance. A new type of evil but the story line seemed old.

Several years ago, I purchased the large purse from Things From Another World at the San Diego Comic-Con.  I loved it!  Used for lunch, the bag was very sturdy and -with reasonable care- held up several years. It was also very easy to identify in a crowded workplace fridge.  Last year I finally had to let it go and have been looking for another one ever since.

Question: Fit a little too snug!

So, I ordered the sugar skull print and the goth cutie print in 38M (i usually wear 8-8.5)- because I wasn't sure which print I would like the best. The skull print was a little too tight and could feel slight pressure in my big toe nail, the goth cutie print for some reason fit better and had a little room for breathing- not to mention the sole felt a little bit more comfortable (could be because my foot had a tiny bit more room in the goth cutie print). I think ordering a size up for the skull print would be way too big. So Im hoing to have to return the skull print and keep the goth cutie print.

The only real issue is the screw that uses the allen wrench is to soft. Once tightened, it's almost impossible to remove it without damage to the screw.

Question: "The key problem with Green Oaks was the gulf between conditions for customers and conditions for staff."

O'Flynn's seemingly effortless novel has a cumulative effect, a simple tale of people drifting through life with no center and scarce ambition. At the heart of all is young Kate Meaney, a self-styled private detective who spends her days tracking the activities of imagined suspects. In the UK in 1984, ten-year-old Kate blends in with the crowd, a stuffed toy in suit and spats, Mickey the Monkey, her constant companion. Terribly lonely since the death of her beloved father, Kate has fashioned an imaginary life, complete with detailed notebook and identity kit. Her only friend, Adrian, a young man of 22, works in his father's shop and enjoys Kate's vivid imagination as she describes "the Gentleman Embezzler, the Henchman and the Ruthless Assassin". Her favorite haunt is Green Oaks, the local mall, hub for employment, shopping and a temporary reprieve from boredom. Then one day, Kate goes missing, Adrian the last person to see her.

In 2003, Adrian's sister, Lisa, plods daily to a tedious job at Your Music in Green Oaks. Like other employees, Lisa is restricted to the dark warrens of employee access, far from the more attractive mall facilities created for customers. One of many who navigate these halls, Lisa is trapped in a dead end job, living with a man she no longer cares for, waiting patiently each year for the music CD that arrives from Adrian, their only connection since he ran away after Kate's disappearance. Kurt, a night shift security guard, is an equally lost soul, a loner who vaguely yearns for a life beyond his acute personal loss. When Kurt notices a familiar little girl on a security tape- possibly Kate- and Lisa stumbles over Kate's Mickey the Monkey, the two are drawn together, discovering common ground and a past connection that will challenge their plans for the future.

In an age when human commerce often accounts for the only social interaction of strangers, Green Oaks is a repository for failed dreams and unfulfilling jobs, a place where many toil with little inspiration, their lives reduced to eight-hour shifts and brief shopping forays. Diverse characters people this novel, most lonely, disappointed, disillusioned; but hope simmers beneath the surface of even the most banal interactions, Lisa and Kurt recognizing like-minded souls in one another, Kate a frail specter, her disappearance haunting them. Kate's bright innocence and enthusiasm, even in her profound loneliness, is a testament to the promise of youth, when anything can happen. Their early dreams long tarnished, Lisa and Kurt have almost given up, hostages to a predictable fate until they meet, sparking hopes of a larger world that does not leech the soul from dehumanized workers. Sweetly poignant, this novel is fresh and intuitive, a few hours' escape into possibility. Luan Gaines/ 2008.

I can pick up a behind-the-scenes, Hollywood tell-all with interest; then, after a few chapters, end up feeling let down by all the sadness and waste that's behind these chronicles.  That definitely happens here, but I don't blame these authors for my experience - it's a consequence of reading this type of book.

How "Confidential" magazine came into being, and how its operation contributed to the destruction of the life of Howard Rushmore, its editor-in-chief, is probably the best chapter of THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL.

No other "scandal" covered in this book -the making of Peyton Place; the Johnny Stompanato shooting; the brief affair of Sammy Davis Jr. and Kim Novak; the lives of gossip legends Hedda Hopper, Louella Parsons and Sheilah Graham, to name a few topics covered- is fresh to a Hollywood history buff.  And, unfortunately, there's nothing especially stimulating in the (re)telling of all this old tragedy.  The blighted lives of these actors and other Hollywood participants, and the relentlessly downbeat endings to most of these stories, actually make this book depressing to read.

After reading THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, I don't think I've learned anything new about Hollywood, its operations and machinations; or its beautiful citizens in the Fifties - except perhaps, learning anew that it was a cutthroat, backstabbing place to work and live; no place for anyone with insecurities.  Unfortunately gossip mills thrived then and continue to thrive today on the failings of human nature, and there's always a public ready to listen - self included, or else why would I have picked up this book?

Question: Let's just clear the air and I'll tell the truth here!

I needed a new king size mattress. Was a little tight on funds. I read the product reviews and took a gamble and bought it anyways. Someone wrote that it wasn't 6 inches, it was 4. They are lying, so ignore that review. It IS a full 6 inch mattress. Someone wrote that it's just like sleeping on metal coils. Those people are exaggerating, it feels like any mattress firm mattress does. People wrote that it's rock hard, those people are close to correct. Its as firm as a mattress can come. So if your trying to make an educated decision and your low on money... if you want a very firm 6 inch mattress, you will get what you pay for. Some people complain of back pains when sleeping on it. I haven't experienced that. So they probably had those back problems before this mattress came into existence. So don't let the fear of back pains keep you from buying it. I fell asleep just fine and woke up just fine. I'm very pleased with this product. It was worth the money. It IS a very firm mattress. If you need something soft and cushy, you gotta save your money for something else because this would make you very uncomfortable. But for me, it gets the job done.

This calendar appeared to be the same one I ordered a year ago, but when it came it was appreciably smaller.  I should've read the fine print.

Question: Great for reflecting on what IT really all means

I was looking for a bible study - not a fun activity pack - for my 10 year old. I ordered this blind, but was impressed with the format of My Bible Journal, so I figured we'd try it. I am not sure what version they are quoting scripture from, but it's not really child friendly.

Example: Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.  Ephesians 5:1-2.

My daughter looked at me like she had no clue what they were talking about. Fortunately we have a NIV children's version, so she can look it up in her bible and understand the verse. Each section contains sample questions that kids actually ask, followed by a scripture verse. Then Qs that make you think about the Word. The next part asks you to write it in your own words. It then gives you a sample prayer, encouraging you to talk to God about it. Lastly it gives you more of God's Words. The rest of the wording is easy to understand, it's just the scripture that is tough.

Changed my entire outlook on how to manage and run my business. Wish I had read it 20 years ago!!
