Question: Greater than the sum of its parts

ELIZABETH COSTELLO is an episodic literary novel that Coetzee writes in the form of eight "lessons" and a postscript. In the first six of these lessons, Elizabeth Costello, an elderly novelist acclaimed mostly for the work of her youth, is presenting a paper, making a speech on a cruise ship, or listening to her sister speak  at a conference. In each of these lessons, there's lots of literate back-and-forth between professors while the themes of its academic presentations bleed in surprising ways across the lessons.

In lesson one, for example, an old and exhausted Elizabeth discusses her mtier, which is liberating secondary characters from great novels written by men. And as she presents her paper on this subject, she works to maintain her old-lady novelist's image while her son, her acolyte at the conference, gets a little sex on the side. In contrast, lesson two features an African writer who challenges the realism of Western masterpieces while he turns academic presentations into mere shtick. There is sex, once again exploitive. But this time, it elicits resentment.

Anyway, this is the technique. Sometimes, the connection between lessons is Elizabeth, a dull and slightly eccentric presenter, while the conference subject shifts from literature to animal rights and the holocaust. Other times, themes, such as literary history or the brutality of existence, make the primary connection between lessons while Elizabeth slips to the periphery. Altogether, this technique generates a subtle and involving literary machine, written with Coetzee's usual diamond-hard prose. And in this way, Coetzee is able to backtrack and reexamine his issues, adding nuance and depth to his concerns with sex, brutality, moral blindness, responsibility, and making a living.

In his last two lessons and postscript, Coetzee then turns matters inside out. Through lesson six, sex is basically a physical experience with partners fighting for the upper hand. But in lesson seven and the postscript, Coetzee makes sex paramount and either ethereal or mystical. Meanwhile, the scholarly presentations, which are told in realistic fashion in the first six lessons, become Kafkaesque in lesson eight, where Elizabeth explores what she believes. These last chapters are a stylistic twist and add depth to the book.

I've read several novels by Coetzee. IMHO, his best novels place imperfect people in situations where their pathetic existence represents a moral failure in their culture (Life and Times of Michael K: A Novel). Or his imperfect characters make painful moral choices that they know will have zero worldly consequence (Waiting for the Barbarians: A Novel (Penguin Ink) (The Penguin Ink Series), (Age of Iron). But in ELIZABETH COSTELLO, Coetzee turns down the heat, since Elizabeth, aware of moral issues, is, well, sort of coasting to acclaim in a privileged academic world.

ELIZABETH COSTELLO is an intriguing puzzle and the work of a master stylist. And I found the character Elizabeth to be highly sympathetic, even though she can be inconstant, obsessive, and apocalyptic. Regardless, presentations by Elizabeth and her peers, which are both grand and subtle, are probably most appreciated by those who enjoy hair-splitting distinctions across a banquet table.

Question: A good writing guidebook

A practical, simple and easy reading guide. with short and concise 8 steps action plans for better writing. The book will also guide you on how to set your goal to complete your writing, how to motivate yourself to continue writing and what are the bad writing habits to avoid.

The guide is suitable for both beginners and more advanced writers. Highly recommend.

Going to finish this review with some favourite quotes from the book "The pen is mightier than the sword. You can run the world with writing" and "the power of habits can take you to places that you would never even have thought off"

Question: Nice speaker/microphone combination, can talk without echo

The main reason for me to buy this product was to use it for teleconferences. When I was calling my parents over the phone and they open the speaker of their phone, there was being a super disturbing echo which we wanted to eliminate. Mocreo mini solves this problem perfectly.

We can pair with a phone, have a phone call using it without any echo problem. You need to be within at most 1 meter distance of the speaker in order to be able to heard properly by the other side. Considering that this is also the distance necessary for a normal phone and also taking the price of the device into account, this is quite tolerable.

You can also pair it with your phone just as a speaker, i.e. without the microphone. I paired my Bluetooth headset with the phone at the same time with Mocreo mini, then Mocreo became just a speaker.

I bought another one for myself, which I am using solely as a speaker at home. Sound quality is good and it is loud enough for me. The battery goes well, not sure but maybe in the orders of 6-8 hours for each charging. Bluetooth connection is fine as long as the paired device is within the same room, i.e. 6-9 meters distance.

Only one issue is that, the power button is a bit low quality. It is getting stuck time to time. If you are gentle about pressing it, this will not cause a problem. However, it is glitchy, saying so that you know what you will get. This is not a major problem though. Still five stars from me.

I much preferred the intellectual angle the book had, as opposed to the formulaic nature of the movie.

Question: Smaller than advertised. They are cute and I won't ...

Smaller than advertised.  They are cute and I won't bother to return them, but they are only about 8 inches in diameter--not 12 inches!

My preschool daughter is now bringing home bookorders from school, and we needed a way to handle all of the thin paper-back books.  This sling shelf is almost perfect.  We have been using it for over a month and the materials appear to be very durable.  It was a little cumbersome to put together all by myself, but not terrible.  I have uploaded an image of what it looked like after we filled it.  There are 32 books in the picture and room for 50 (as long as they are the thin paper-back kind).  The sling shelf works great because my preschooler and 20-month-old can see the book covers and easily put the books back themselves.  We are actually reading more books now because they are more visible and accessible.

My only complaints would be that when you put the canvas shelves on the dowels there is no way for all the hemmed seams to be in the back.  At least one will be showing, and it's tricky to figure out which way is best.  While the 7" deep pockets help hold a lot of books, they are almost too deep.  Small board books would totally get lost in the bottom and even the square-sized paper-back books barely show on the top.

This is a great product, but if I had to do it over again, I would seriously consider paying the extra to get the Sling Bookshelf with shallower pockets and the two bins underneath.

Question: Great, but Not Solution I Was Hoping For

I hate to iron but am too cheap to dry clean and I was hoping this could be the answer for my work shirts and slacks.  It does an ok job at the work shirts but not good enough to be in a professional environment.  I do like it for slacks although it doesn't quite get the crease crisp.  Excellent for T-Shirts, Polos, jeans, and other of the more casual wear.  Also, it is a good item to keep around if you want to touch up a suit that has been lightly worn without having to dry clean after every time.  In general it is more useful for items that don't need a starched and pressed look.

It is super easy to start up and rolls around smooth.

Question: ... nearly half a year now and it works not bad. I'm very satisfied

This thing has been running for nearly half a year now and it works not bad. I'm very satisfied.

This book has been invaluable as I begin my GAPS journey.  As wonderful as Dr. Cambell-McBride's Gut & Psychology Syndrome book is, the formatting does not lend itself to people who would like step-by-step instructions in easy-to-read format.  For anyone beginning a new journey, you will probably need to refer to your reference materials on a daily basis.  Enter The Heal Your Gut Cookbook - a perfect companion!  Hillary Boynton breaks down each stage with simple personal anecdotes, and clear recipes.  I was easily able to shop and plan for each new stage in the Intro Stages, by reading ahead to see which recipes she recommends, and which foods are added.  I also felt empowered to craft so many new recipes, which is a big deal even for me, an experienced gluten-free and semi-paleo cook/baker.  Despite the fact that, prior to GAPS, I had been eating healthfully for years, there are quite a few things one must eliminate even further for Full GAPS.  These recipes take out the hard work, and are giving me the tools to further curate my personal repertoire, so I can continue to feed myself deliciously.  I am so thankful for this book!!!!!

A great introduction for persons wanting to get in the stock market, but do not have much capital to lose and the world to gain.  This book does a good job of breaking down the basics of penny stocks, the terminology and various strategies. I really got a bang for my buck on this one.

Dead Wrong marks the introduction of an exciting new character. Swanson Herbinko is likable and smart, yet quirky enough to feel real. I read a lot of cozy mysteries. Dead Wrong was one of my favorites of 2013.  The action moves quickly, the characters were well defined, and the settings were vivid.

I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Question: Cyndi Makes you Dance!

As a lapsed Cyndi Lauper fan, I was pleasantly surprised by the samples I heard on Amazon.  I bought the CD and love it!  The only songs I dislike are Rocking Chair and Lyfe.  In fact, Rocking Chair annoys me to no end. Lyfe is just blah. The others are all stompers, especially Echo, Into the Nightlife, Same Ol' Story, and Raging Storm.  I would give this 4 1/2 stars though and it's not great enough to give the extra full star. It's great to see and hear...Cyndi, Donna Summer, and Madonna making some of the best music of their careers.

I purchased this mount for use with a Samsung 65" LCD.  The TV itself weighs less than 70 lbs, but I wanted something robust.  As the other reviews here say, the unit itself is sturdy and heavy-duty.  I have no concerns about the mount in and of itself.  However, the engineering of the mount regarding its attachment both the the wall and to the TV leaves much to be desired.

In my application I bought this because the TV is mounted in a recessed nook, surrounded by cabinets, and I needed periodic access to the area behind it for wiring, etc.  It was easier to buy a telescoping mount that to find a strong person to lift the TV off and set it down each time I needed to move an HDMI cable, etc.

But the size and configuration of the wall-mount plate means that is is difficult to lag-bolt the mount to two studs if you have a typical house with 16" stud centers.  In order to even remotely center the mount, one stud ran right down the middle of the mount, and the remaining two were far beyond the limits on either side.  Mounting it on two studs would have meant the mount being far off-center.  While one can then move the TV along the mount, and the telescoping arms to the side, this is less than ideal, as you can't pull the unit straight out.  I had to bolt a 3/4" plywood panel to my (lathe-and-plaster) wall to overcome this issue.  I lag-bolted the mount into that panel to distribute the weight over multiple studs.

Also, there is no vertical adjustment once the TV side of the mount is attached to the Samsung TV -- the VESA mount holes are at the upper and lower limits of the adapter arms.  This means that once the mount is attached to the wall there is no -- ZERO -- up-and-down adjustment that can be made.  This is definitely a "measure twice (or more) and drill once" kind of thing, and even so, I didn't take into account a slight sag and so my TV is about 1/2" off center vertically in the space for it.  I decided I could live with that.

As others have noted, the tilt controls are very hard to adjust on a large TV as well.

Mounts in this category sell for as much as $350, so this is something of a bargain, and I suppose I got what I payed for, but that's all.

On the positive side, the mount came with an impressive array of hardware, including both M4 and M6 bolts of varying lengths, as well as a tiny level.  Once the mount was installed, it pulls in and out from the wall easily enough for access behind.

Question: Nice suit for young man

I purchased this 3-piece suit (which also came with a shirt and zipper tie) for my son's First Communion. It came promptly and was well packaged. The material was nice (not prone to wrinkling which is VERY important with an energetic 8-yr old!) and the drape of the material was flattering. My only negative comment was that I didn't realize that the pants were unhemmed but since it came in such a timely manner this really was not an issue and we were able to hem them to the exact length. I would definitely recomment this and the price was right when you condider that everything came with it (and the tie was a nice simple stripe pattern).

It has a potntially great story line. The acting is extremely weak and the main character, the alien, is never developed.

Question: Wonderful story that grips you

The story Yesterday by author Samyann is a blend of a modern-day and historical romance. The book is a full-length novel and is steeped in mystery and suspense.

Yesterday is a captivating and intriguing book. This book is wonderfully and beautifully written. The author uses such vivid descriptions, that you can see exactly what is being described. During instances in the story, you can see, hear, and feel exactly what is taking place.  This book is entertaining and memorable, to say the least. I can honestly attest to reading this book in less than 24 hours; it was impossible to put down. I do wish the book was longer, but thats just for my own selfish desires! I was completely caught up in the beautiful love story of soulmates and I want to know more of their story!

The book is more than good, its excellent and it draws you in from the very beginning. I think anyone would love this story, but I think it would appeal to lovers of historical fiction and romance novels. There is also mystery involved, which I believe draws readers in and holds them captive. Yesterday is a wonderful novel and I recommend it to anyone who likes a wholesome and fulfilling storyline.

I had to tinker with alternate drivers and forced driver installs to get it running on Windows 8....since then it works great. 3 stars because many people would struggle with the installation.

Question: Average perfomance poorly recorded

Regarding to the musical contents, I will just say that it is a fusion of Jazz with modern pop/country songs. It is a matter of taste, but I prefer "Live in Paris".

Diana appeared somewhat tired. Se rushes on "West of the Sun" and only catches fire in "Devil may care". God knows why...

The bass section in notably inferior to the duo Hamilton/Clayton in "Live in Paris", but these gentlemen as she calls them have other engagements...Anthony Wilson is very good on the guitar, and of course Dina Krall is very good on piano, but her left hand is weak. Almost all notes are played in the middle of the keyboard. Thus the lady maintains composure and does not need to move on the seat, affording correct placement of the microphone when she sings.

This is a recording of a Jazz Trio in a large arena hall. These venues are, in general, not good to record acoustic instruments (to reach the audience they need to be amplified).

Therefore close miking is a necessary "bad practice".

Regarding the DVD there is a significant error in the package. The sound is Dolby 5.0, not 5.1, meaning there is no subwoofer. I personally like that, because I have 4 large speakers and can hear bass from all of them. But a large number of people have 5 small speakers and a subwoofer. When they play this DVD they will simply hear no bass.

If Universal put 5.1 in the label on purpose I think some customers have legitimate right to claim their money back...

Another important point is the fact that only Dolby Digital is available for both surround and stereo. Dolby Digital at the lowest compression rate (highest bit rate) is still not good for music, period.

This is a strange decision for a company called "VERVE" which recorded the greatest Jazz groups in the 60's and 70's with great fidelity. Listen to "Night Train" by the Oscar Peterson Trio on CD and you will hear the difference...

Why this decision to allocate the majority of the DVD to the video and a small portion to the sound in a music record is beyond belief. They could at least put the stereo track in PCM.

Compared to Warner's Paul Simon "You are the One" at the Paris Olympia that has DTS surround and PCM in addition to Dolby 5.1 and subtitles of the lyrics for the non-English native language customers this DVD should be priced at half of the normal...

I made the mistake of going back and reading all the previous books in the series in anticipation of this one coming out.  When I finally started to read this book I couldn't even finish it.  I was bored out of my mind of all the review of the books I'd just read over.  I guess all that review material could be necessary after the long wait between books but for me it was just too much.

It's very rare for me not to finish a book, and I fully intent to finish this one at some point. I'll probably just wait until the series is over.  I saw other reviews mention that this was a lot of set up for the sequels and decided not to force myself through this one until the sequels were done.

All that being said, I really love this series in general.  The first three were by far my favorite, but I thought the 4th and 5th were good too.  I really hope that the last books pick up again.  I think I'll be waiting for reviews on future books to make sure it's worth it instead of pre-ordering which I typically do for the series I'm reading.

I have replaced the HDD with SSD on Toshiba Satellite 14 (E45T-B4106). I noticed there were 2 strip wires which are going above the Harddisk which I had to take out and then keep them after installing SSD. What are these strips for. Is there a possibility that Harddisk/computer can occasionally freeze because of not reinserting these 2 strips properly?

Does this laptop have SATA 2 or SATA 3 interface? The new SSD sequential read and write speeds are around 250 MB/s. When I see the benchmarks shared in SSD review they were around 400-500 MB/s for the same. Is there any possibility that during replacement loose connection or improper connection is causing the slow speeds?

Also the SSD started freezing just a few mins after turning on pc. I tried many methods suggested in google and it seemed to be resolved now. But my preference is to reinstall windows. How to reinstall windows 8.1? No DVD or backup drive provided in the system. Also the reinstall from windows settings doesn't work.

Question: ... this master cylinder i be using on Villager 99 good quality.

Wagner is the first company who started brake parts this master cylinder i be using on Villager 99 good quality.lot better than others brands!

This pen is flat out one of the nicest I own. I have several other high end pens, and have to say this one for "short writing periods" is truly enjoyable! With the serious heft, you may not want to write for extended periods of time with it. However that is of course subjective from person to person. As far as performance, I love it! I also have to say the ink for a nice dark black does the job very well! Just remember, make sure your paper is of good quality, the two go hand in hand. I use Rhodia paper from France and find it a great match! There are of course lower costing paper out there, but then if your spending the money to use this pen, spend the money on good quality paper.

Im considering buying my wife one as well. This is a great presentation pen for a gift, the eyebrows do go up! Should have seen my wife's face when she saw me open the box...ha, I could truly tell she wished it had been for her....christmas may just bring her one! They also come with a GREAT traveling case! While the case I have from Xezo is for two pens...frankly I fit 4 pens inside...they are not all Xezo, one is a waterman, other is a Mont Blanc, and two others are that take turns placed inside are Vicanti pens. I can't say this pen beats the Vicanti, but it does in my opinion beat the waterman to a large degree and honestly, it give Mont Blanc ink nowhere to go. Mont Blanc ink just does not hold up as this ink does.  Xezo truly holds its own against the other often more well known top shelf pens ...so to speak. Highly recommend!!

Question: Don't waste your money on this...

The beautiful thing about self publishing is that everyone can get in the game. The unfortunate thing is that everyone can get in the game. The Global Game is an example of the latter.

As a heavy reader of pseudo intellectual sports related writing, I feel that this book is recycled material that is devoid of any original, intelligent viewpoints. You would do better just browsing free internet articles.

Edit:  Immediately after leaving this review, it got voted unhelpful, same as the other negative review, probably by the author. Don't be mad bro, I'm sure if you'd gotten into a legit Ivy they would've taught you to write better...

Frankly I don't know why this got bad reviews.  The film was:

1. Great script.

What else to ask for ?  Maybe some are frustrated by not having understood the end or the purpose.  Enjoy the movie without asking yourself too much questions.

Nice size for a household of 2.  Keeps my fruit/veg drawer from being cluttered but loose a shelf in fridge holding 3 of these.  Have been using for about a month and it performs as described.  Nothing fabulous but I now wash my produce as soon as I get it home and put in containers.  Makes salad prep / food prep easy cause I just pull them out of the fridge and they are ready.  (Instead of being lazy and washing as needed).

Looks nice, easy to move around, doesn't take up too much space and moves plenty of air for a small office or desk area. The problem is that It moves less air than a small cheaper oscillating fan and doesn't last no where near as long as a Honeywell fan for approximately half the price.

Question: Fun-looking shoes and great for play

I got these when the last shoes we got did not have enough ventilation and didn't hold up during rough play. These shoes are great.

I don't know why, but I actually scrolled through all the colors and was able to find one that was much cheaper than the others. If you aren't looking for a specific color I would suggest checking them all out as there is a large selection.

This cord works beautifully! I purchased it to be able to use Android Auto in my new car, and it does not disappoint.

I have a room in the basement where I keep my computer and when I leave the room at night, the light switch for the main basement is on the opposite wall. With this item, I don't have to feel my way around anymore. But, don't use an energy saving spiral bulb in this unit, it will just flash on and off, then the unit will quit working.

Question: Awesome camera - more than worth the price!

I bought this camera for my 17 year old son to take on a three week trip to South Africa for FIFA World Cup soccer. He didn't want one too big or heavy, it had to fit in his pocket (big pants). I couldn't believe the pictures he took with it; he has pictures of players on the field at the games just like I saw on ESPN.com they were so close up. And one of the coach that was on the opposite side of the field from him, unbelievable.

The zoom is a 10x, but it can go up to 40x and the pictures are still great. He took some pictures of a giraffe from a safari that he said was a football field and a half away and it looks as though it's right outside the vehicle.

The screen is very clear and good size. When you change the settings it tells you what you have changed it to on the screen, no looking back at the manual each time. I would recommend this camera to everyone, oh wait I already have.

Great for organizing my "stuff to file"  The purple color adds a nice decorative touch to my home office, and it doesn't get lost in my pile of papers.

Question: Moisturizes without making skin greasy

True to its name. this is accurately a very rich body cream.  I have chronically dry skin as a result of two rounds of Accutane and this cream is perfect for me.  What I love about it is that it thoroughly moisturizes, but it also absorbs well and doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy or slippery. This is a real plus because with a lot of creams I find I have to avoid my hands or wait awhile for them to absorb because they make my hands too greasy to use or can make it hard to immediately put on clothes comfortably.  It does seem to be scented and I'm neutral about the fragrance.  It isn't a pungent fragrance though it isn't light either.  But it is definitely more noticeable than the dermatologist recommended lotions and creams which have a very subtle almost medicinal smell from whatever they are made with vs. an intentional perfume/fragrance smell.  I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like exactly but it is pretty neutral.  It does seem to be subtly feminine, but isn't as floral-y as other lotions out there.

In sum, this is a great lotion.  Yes, it is more expensive than drugstore varieties but it feels very luxurious going on and does the job.

That's about all nice I can say about this book. The photography is stunning. Unfortunately, the recipes, if followed to the letter, fail to produce anything that looks like the photographs. Or anything I've ever eaten in an Indian restaurant. Or anything I would want to serve for dinner. Multiple tries have resulted in bland food that is unappealing on many levels. There's got to be a better book out there.

Question: Poor quality and Buggy Website

I bought this bear a year ago for my daughter since her daddy would be spending a few months in Africa. The website is extremely buggy and none of the stories my husband read would transfer to the bear. I did, however get six copies of the same song when I tried to load it once...so that's fun. Fast forward to a year later when I'm trying to update the bear, and the website tells me that I need to purchase a bear to load my soundtrack onto. The bear that I own is literally sitting on the table in front of me. I tried to activate it, thinking it was just a mistake but the website tells me that this bear has already been activated. I know that. I activated it. A year ago. My emails to customer service have gone seemingly unnoticed so now I'm stuck with a $60 teddy bear with a crackly speaker that plays one song over and over.

This is a very good book. It is about how to grow spiritually through grief. I just lost my husband.. This was just the book to help me at this time of deep grief. I am reading for a second time!

Question: Pretty straight forward.

The message itself is worth repeating to yourself several times a day. Why not plant the seed else where? Its a good one.

I gave this hole saw a 5 star rating since for $12 the 3" head did its job and nothing broke.  I was running it in a drill press and took my time. I was making a sanding box for the drill press and did not have a suitable circular saw.

The metal of the teeth are going to wear fast if pushed hard and often, the flat plate used in attaching the larger heads to the shaft has tabs that look like they could easily fail. The big heads look like too much for small hand drills. I was cutting into softwood plywood ....... I wouldn't try anything larger than 2" from this set on hardwood (oak etc).

If you want a long term relationship with your hole saws, then move  up to a $50 plus price point, but this item did its job at a minimal price and hence the 5* rating.

Question: Nice materials, very tricky to get right if the wall is not perfectly flat.

It's probably my fault for not realizing the size of it but it felt a little oversized for what I needed. Make sure you have a flat wall otherwise the back clamps won't engage and you will have to add washers or so to the screw in the wall to line it up.

I took a chance on this book because I saw it was the second in the series and I loved Brandywine: Regency historical romance (The Brocade Series, Book 1).

***Minor Spoilers***
There wasn't enough info given by either of the reviews or by the synopsis, so I'll give a brief summary here. The h was married as a very young child to a Duke of a nearby estate in France. She lives in virtual isolation until she is 20 years old. Her father resents her and she has little interaction with anyone in her home save for her maid and governess. Suddenly she is sent by her father to live with her husband's family. She is collected by her brother-in-law Navarre (gorgeous name) and taken to live with her new family. Navarre is the H in this book and he is fabulous and he and the h are immediately attracted to each other. The h meets her husband and discovers that he was disabled in a riding accident years ago. The h is the youngest of 3 brothers and the middle brother is the villain. The middle brother spends most of his time at court but comes home when he runs into money troubles. Everyone in the Duke's home is desperate for the h to have a child so that the succession is passed on, thus avoiding the evil middle brother. The interesting part of the story is that the Duke wants the H and h to sleep together to have a child on his behalf, therefore protecting him from the evil middle brother, who had been the cause of his accident in the first place.

***Bigger Spoiler***
What prevented me giving this the 5th star is the fact that the h runs off at the end of the book and joins a convent without getting the facts from the H first. It truly annoyed me and spoilt what was pretty much an amazing book up to that point. Obviously everything works out in the end and we get our hea but I could have lived without this part of the story.

Not quite what I was expecting but one AWESOME book.  I bought it as a gift, but may have to buy the correct pens for coloring in it.  I know that our granddaughter is going to LOVE IT... Would recommend for those who love to color... :-) :-) :-)

Ditch your microwave! Convection oven is healthier and reheated food tastes better. I have three kids so this oven gets a lot of use. After a couple of days of adjusting to not having instant cooking with a microwave, I am very happy with this purchase. The only minor complaint I have is that the digital timer is not backlit, so if you don't have direct light on it you need to be close to see it. I also prefer not to cook with aluminum pans  (that come with it) so I use glass cookware, or cover the aluminum with parchment paper. Works great. I'm cooking a pizza as I write this....

I'm sorry but the actors for this movie were a joke. They could have done so much better at casting.

Poor job.

I wanted to read this book.  I was looking forward to reading this book.  All that lasted to the end of the first chapter.  I just couldn't make it any further.

The story jumped around far too much to hold my attention and what SHOULD have been exciting and spell-binding took far too long to get through.

Question: unique, cool & lots of storage but on the small side

Kinda small as I'm an adult. My biggest problem was price. I would have ordered it from ebay (cheaper) If i had known it was coming from China anyway.

I  try to be a positive person, so writing this review goes against my normal character; however, I feel as though many people will make a mistake by purchasing this phone, so I feel as though its more important that I explain my bad experience with this phone.

I ordered 2 of these phones, for my wife and I, just about 3 months back. From the day it arrived, it has been nothing but problems.

When first starting up both phones, it had to do updates. And when doing so, it froze up trying to install the boost specific app (boost tv). I had to get around it by preventing the updates from taking place at all with a fresh reset. Now (still today) my phone has a notification that I have an android update (which it won't install even if I try to).

About a week in, the phone already started lagging up and running very slow. I found myself rebooting it regularly by week 2.

After 2.5 months, the phone now runs super hot. And it continuously freezes up. The apps contently crash, and when you tap the screen, you might as well grab a snickers cuz you'll be waiting for a while.

I really like the stylus though. It allows me to doodle on the phone (when its not freezing) while Im sitting on the toilet. But this isn't enough for me to like this phone.

This is by far the worst phone I have owned since smart phones came on the scene.

Stopped shooting tennis balls on the first day after a dozen shots. Luckily, we had also purchased a different style of thrower which is still working great. Finally getting around to returning it and it's a month past the return date.

I really liked the book. While  it was maybe not my favorite of the series it was still a cute, funny and sexy read. Annabelle is the coaches daughter and after her dad warns his players to stay away from her, they decide to make a bet to see who can hook up with her. She becomes aware of said bet and isn't sure how to handle the situation. She moves in with a new roommate to get out of her dads house. It is a nice slow build of friends to lovers! No real douchebags in this story but a nice surprise twist in their storyline. Super cute addition to the douchebag series and I would recommend this whole series to anyone.

These shoes are great.  Love the style and look but they are narrow.  The length was fine and may even be larger than listed but the width for a 4E foot is not there.  If you have wide feet these shoes will not work or at least won't be comfortable.

It looked great, and fit fine but in the end I put the old antenna back on there because I lost so much of the reception.  I live in a pretty rural area so that affected my final decision.

It's hard to get excited about trivets, but these are kind of awesome.  You can lay them on counter or stove top and you get no-slip surface for hot food containers/cookie sheets.  And you can throw 'em in a drawer.  You can also use as oven mitts, and they stay much cleaner (easy to wash).

Question: ... protector for a few weeks now and I really like it. As someone who talks on the phone ...

I've had this screen protector for a few weeks now and I really like it.  As someone who talks on the phone a lot, my face oils and makeup end up on my screen a lot, and as I have a touchscreen, fingerprints end up on it, too.  I have always had trouble keeping the screen clear, but the tempered glass wipes off so easily and I've been amazed at the clarity my screen still has after weeks of use.  Regular screen protectors never held up for more than a few days for me.  I have two reasons I gave five stars instead of four: 1) I haven't dropped my phone or done anything to it that would normally cause damage, so I can't say I've tested it's durability, and 2) a small bubble has appeared on the right side of my phone.  I've tried to push it out, but it keeps coming back, and it didn't pop up until I had the protector on for about two weeks.  It doesn't interfere with anything and the protector is still doing it's job, so I don't mind it.  I really love this screen protector and I would recommend it to others.

After searching many forums, it appears that there are glitches with this product and certain versions of Vista, certain routers, and with security devices and anti-virus software.

Question: Weekly appointment book

I buy these every year and I really do like them.  The price is better here than at Staple.

I generally love Stephen King's novels, but this one was very disappointing. Here is why:

1. Detail overkill. I love great imagery, but half of what was written could have been eliminated without missing a beat. Additionally, too many little story lines took up way too much time. For example the Bible lady or the men fighting over beer, or even the time spent in Tom's house. Interesting things to mention, but way too much interaction with them. It took away from the story.

2. Unrealistic personalities all around. I was particularly annoyed with Alice, who is 15. King had her using dated phrases like "my folks" among other quips. Not realistic for a modern teen even if from 2005. I didn't find Jordan, Tom, or Clay very convincing either.

3. As an animal lover with pets of my own, I am thoroughly horrified that Tom abandons his cat. Based on how much effort was being put into Rafe's story line, I thought surely we would see him again, but no. Why even put the cat in the story? Just say Tom dropped his phone and it broke.

4. Lastly and most importantly, there are too many loose ends. I feel that King got bored and gave up. The ending is abrupt with seemingly HUNDREDS of unanswered questions. Books that leave some of the ending to the imagination are great (keyword SOME), but King wrote half a book, quit, then published it as a completed work.

Question: Good to the Last Bite!

I bought this as a gift for someone who is dealing with a difficult boss and ended up reading it myself. Dr. Bernstein has given us a concise guide to five of the most common personality disorders (paranoid, histrionic, antisocial, narcissistic, and obsessive compulsive) that most of us encounter, and suggested ways of coping. The author is a veteran marriage/family counselor who draws on his vast experience to concisely define various personality disorders, how to recognize them, and suggestions for how to deal with their impact in our lives. He chose to equate those who suffer from certain personality disorders with vampires, and carries that analogy throughout the book. Despite the cutesy vampire references, the book is well written and contains a wealth of information. This book is for you if you must deal with one of those people who consistently leaves you totally drained emotionally and asking yourself, "Why do they DO that?" You might find some answers here.

Odd shape and colors unattractive, most importantly light output was undesirable and no improvement over much lesser lumen bulbs for my taste.

Question: Well worth the money if you've got just a little patience (No G'nR)

I bought this mount after reading a lot of the reviews, and the majority of whats been said is pretty much the truth; The mount itself was very inexpensive for me, I believe less than $28 shipped. At that price, its hard to say no, not even considering amazon's painless return policy had it been a piece of crap.

As most have pointed out, the instructions are mediocre, at best. Luckily, it wasn't too difficult to go through with after some guidance via other reviews. Pretty simple and straightforward; construct the mounting plate, put it on the wall. attach the arms to your tv, and have at it.

If you plan to use the full tilt however, as I did, tightening the screws at the bottom (which basically secure the mount even further for the event of an earthquake and such) is about impossible. The best result I had was to tighten the bottom screws FIRST, loosen the tilt bars, and then slowly loosen the bottom screws a little at a time. As you do, the tv will naturally tilt down, but because you pre-tightened the bottom screws, they will still "bite in" as you loosen them. Using this method I was able to finally get the tilt I wanted with having the bottom screws safely tightened. Doing it any other way (such as tilting, then attempting to tighten the bottom screws) proved to be impossible.

I had a TON of loose extra material after I was finished, which was terrifying at first, but it happens to everybody. They just happen to pack material for any given scenario, which is nice.

Bottom line, if you can deal with lackluster instructions (you know you can), this affordable, sturdy mount is a steal. Plus, it's guaranteed to not sleep with your wife. Go for it.

This is made of iron. The finish looks like antique and fits perfectly with my cottage style decorating. I have it hanging by the front door so we can grab keys on the way out.

**UPDATE 11MAY2018**
I have been using this headset daily as a creative and business professional for exactly one year, and sometimes for 4-6 hours at a time, but as of 01May 2018 the inline controller suddenly went bad, After research I found there is a circuit board inside and found this was the cause as none of the buttons worked causing complete loss of use the headset on both the audio and microphone.  So I contacted my Seller, Smartaudios, and they took care of me. I simply would not buy from anyone else after receiving such wonderful service.

One additional note that I found in my research of this headset, is that it has true 7.1 surround Audio. No wonder I fell in love with them, especially when listening to cinematic screenings with ATMOS and 7.1 surround as my Computer is a Very High End Compute and Graphic Rendering Machine with Sound Cards and External Studio Equipment to send such signal to this headset.  Thank You Smartaudios!

Question: FINALLY! We get to hear from the founder NOT the rhythm section ...

...drumming out their one sided fantasy of abandonment.. As a two decade fan of Dean's music, this is everything I was hoping for. It's a wonder that he was even able to put up with those two for as long as he did. Witty and smart, Dean pulls no punches, not even on himself. "Black Postcards" is filled with hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking stories of the people and situations he encountered over the last twenty years, many of which shaped his music. I loved the way he strings the narrative across the globe using the cities and backwaters he's re-visited countless times with three different bands. It's a great device for showing his personal and musical growth over time. What a real triumph for him! I can't wait twenty more years for the sequel.

First of all, some of you take yourselves far too seriously when critiquing this album (as if you writing for the NY Times or Rolling Stones). It's just music! Stop over analyzing and relax.

This album to me is classic Janet with a touch of today; modern and refreshing but not totally a carbon copy of the formula all artists are being told they should abide by today to be succesful. It is Janet being Janet. Doesn't it make you wanna dance. Yes. Does it make you wanna groove. Yes. And I'm sure their are other things you may want to do too, so I'm not here to give you my favorites. You'll find your own. I'm sure. Listen yourself and buy the CD. Enjoy it! I did it!

These are an affordable alternative to most men's toe socks. My partner loves toe socks, but not the $12 per pair price tag, and these are comfortable and cheap. The only complaint he has is that they are tube socks that have no heel seam. The socks go up to ankle length (he wears a size 10.5 wide) and don't seem to fall down or anything. I would re-purchase these.

Side note: I read other reviews that talked about how long these took to ship, and it was seriously 2-3 weeks before they got here. Buy these with the knowledge that you won't wear them for 3 weeks!

Very easy to use... now I will never waste coconuts from my tree because it's so easy and effortless to make a hole and then stick a straw in it!

Question: I was so happy with the first one

Since we have this little house, we have hardly any litter on the floor. I was so happy with the first one, that I bought one more so that we have it on both floor : bedroom and family room

This was ordered for me by my wife as a Christmas Present because I like the League of Legends professional scenes.  I loved it when I got it but soon realized that all the graphics on it are iron on stickers.  Literally one wash (as directed on tag) caused the stickers to fall off and fade permanently.  I'm not willing to wear it or wash it again for fear that the rest will be ruined.  Both the front and shoulder graphics are now missing.  I love my wife for the thought of this, but I had to direct her to better places for more professional apparel.

If you still want this hoodie, you can just buy a black "Jerzee" brand zip up hoodie and print out and attach stickers for $20 total and save yourself the international shipping fees.

Question: Great, until it breaks and you can't fix it.

Great, but could be sturdier. Worse, if you leave it out in a storm or something and it breaks (as two of mine have) you can't fix it because of how its constructed, with rivets instead of screws, etc. I expect when I have two of something I can repair one sung parts from the other. It's this replace-don't-repair construction that makes me give this a poor rating.

Question: This is a Must Read!!

What a delightful read! Who doesnt love an older woman/younger man love story? Its refreshing to read a sexy, hot  romance between two people who are out of their 20s. This storyline was great; the characters really easy to identify with; the bad blood between the divorced exes gave the story an edge; and the HEA...oh Mama!! You definitely want to 1-Click this one today! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and loved it!!)

This movie was wonderful. What made it wonderful was the bold approach that director Baz Lurhman tackled it from. Does anyone out there think that turning a classic Shakesphearean romance into a modern day pic about teen angst and rebelliousness is easy? Is it equally as easy to try and maintain the beauty and elegance that is Shakespeare while at the same time trying to capture all aspects and diversities of youth? Hmmmm.... didn't think so. Please do the world a favor. Don't hate! Appreciate! Appreciate this mans' talent and gift for creating never before devised insights. Am I wrong when I say that we are a world weary of imitators and constantly salivating for something new to nibble on?

Question: I'd recommend these and doing business with Sterling

I purchased these batteries to power my Canon 450D. They really came in handy preparing for and then actively performing astrophotography. Over several nights I needed them to continue data capture, They worked flawlessly. The products were shipped and delivered very quickly. I'd recommend these and doing business with Sterling.

Who wouldnt want one of their characters to come to real life? Especially if hes buff, successful, intelligent, handsome, and has gorgeous green eyes. Theo is all of that and more, hes a man looking for a committed relationship and has the opportunity to find it through magic.

Joanie has taken care of people all of her life so when she gets the opportunity to be by herself she doesnt want to let go of the freedom, not even when the potential for love comes into her life.
The attraction between Joanie and Theo is instantaneous and hits volcanic levels quickly. This is an erotic romance and Ms. Ballante stays true to the genre. And yet, much to Joanies chagrin, theres tenderness and romance between the two.

To be honest, as independent and spunky as Joanie was, she cried just a little too much for my liking. Those who live on the more sensitive side of life may be able to relate. I liked that she made a decision and stuck to it, making Theo work for what they both needed in the end.

A lovely story I wish would happen in real life.

Question: I use this book every day!

I am the proud mother of a 5 month old and have used this book just about every day since her birth.  The advice is practical, not 'touchy-feely' which my husband and I really appreciate.  The book is laid out very well - it's easy to find what you are looking for.  We are first time parents and this is the most useful baby book we have (and we have a lot of them!)  You won't be dissapointed.

Every review I read said this season was even better than the first. After about three episodes in I was  thinking those people were wrong. But it picks up and by the end I was just as enthralled as I'd been in season 1. You can go read more in depth episode synopsis elsewhere I just wanted to give a hearty thumbs up from me and recommend this set highly. Also there is some really good extras in here too.

Question: A must watch unless you hate funny!

Excellent movie that is at its heart pure raw genius and a great prelude to Eastbound and Down!  If you ignore this movie well then you will never witness the King of the Demo!

I loved the first half of this book, but I felt like it really ran out of steam (no pun intended) in the middle.  While it was interesting to find out what Danny Torrance has been up to since "The Shining", this book is nowhere near as good as the first.

For me, the biggest problem is that the antagonists of the story just aren't very scary compared to some of King's other creations.  There weren't many of the tense, scary moments that you find in Stephen King's best books.

I'd only recommend this to people who are huge fans of "The Shining".

This my second Calista Tool of this type and it is very useful and works great! I use it for straightening and curling. Just a note, with my fine hair, I only use the lower setting.

Question: The Throwback Dew really does taste GREAT! Just like the original of years gone by

The Throwback Dew really does taste GREAT! Just like the original of years gone by. Wish the restaurants serving Pepsi products would offer Throwback Mountain Dew and Pepsi. Slowly REAL sugar is finding it's way back into many products. Fructose and other fake sugar sweeteners leave a bad taste in my mouth so I look for products made with real sugar. Not only has the taste improved, but my energy level is better. I know the Throwback products started as a limited time offer but I hope it never disappears.
I am a 70+ year old and remember how things tasted many years ago. Thanks to the companies that are are bringing taste back into foods.

This product works for our off brand warmers, awesome price for the number you get...

Question: Not sure about this phone

The specs for the phone state it has 512MB of ram. This is misleading because I found it only has about 256MB. I am wondering what other specs they were dishonest about. On the 5th day of having this phone it got stuck in a rebooting loop. I had to reset the phone to factory setting to fix the problem.  Also the vibrate feature on the phone make a buzzing sound and no vibration.

Update
The battery level indicator is not working properly. I will charge the phone to 100% turn it off and then turn it on and it will always show 85%.  Regularly when I use the battery down to below 40% it jump back up to over 60%. The phone will show the battery draining fast but when it gets down to 5% it will stay there for over an hour before losing power.

Very easy to install and super straight-forward with instructions and being able to service it. The faucet is fake chrome painted over plastic but all things considered this is an ideal item for indoor use and the filter changes are super easy as the cartridge twist on & off with auto-sealing connections. We bought 2 of these and both work fine.

Question: I have been waiting for so long,....

I just have to say that I have been waiting for YEARS for a Kitchen Aid and I finally talked myself into it for my birthday.  I LOVE IT!  the first weekend that I had it, I made 3 loaves of white bread, 3 loaves of wheat and flax bread, and 2 loaves of banana nut.  My husband thinks I am the coolest!  In all seriousness, this is a beautiful machine, has such consistancy and is a work horse.  I can't wait to make my first batch of cookies.  I really love it and would recomend it to anyone!

Pre-ordered this baby and it came on time. I loved Persona 3 and 4 so I knew I was going to like this one.

Question: Cheap Thin and Blah Color

Pros, nice and long and sleeves reach to wrists. Keeps me warm when house is slightly cool. Cons: Color dingy, not bright; material cheap and will clearly wear through very quickly. In general, this isn't a sweater I'd recommend to anybody. Okay to wear when you're not expecting anyone and you've been married long enough that your husband no longer studies everything you have on.

I absolutely inhaled "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore," so I was eager to read this prequel. While it was interesting, I didn't find it as riveting as the original. It gave somewhat of a back story on two characters, but still left a lot of unanswered questions.

Question: Great setup. Unfortunately

Great setup.  Unfortunately, I noticed one of my mugs slightly chipped.  But wasn't a big deal.
Fun to use when reading your friends or guests fortune when you flip them over.

From the time that the nature of her gift/curse was described, I was intrigued. This story had the potential to go in so many different directions, and I couldn't wait to see what Burke did with it. When it turned out that there was a mirror cursein fact two sets of mirror cursesthe plot thickened deliciously.

Laidra is a highly sympathetic main character. Though her detracting characteristic and her talents far exceed normal boundaries in either direction, any reader can relate to feelings of insecurity. Many of us have felt unloved, unwanted, even when a piece of us knows we have worth beyond what others might see. It can leave us feeling without direction or hopeless.

At one point, Laidra prays to an unnamed god, querying her fate in a most poignant way: You spared me. Whether out of pity or purpose, I know not, but if pity, please give me purpose  and if purpose, please, take pity and let me discover why. This reverberated through me. What a soulful and earnest desire: to have a purpose for good and to know what it is. This moment is indicative of Laidras spirit, and it is what makes her such a sympathetic heroine despite her outward flaws.

The plot twists and conflicts are beautifully constructed, and the hints at the Eros and Psyche story of mythology are woven in with both recognizable and unique threads. Mythology lovers, dragon lovers, fantasy loversheck, lovers of lovers will all find something to love about this fresh telling of a centuries old legend.

I have a minor concern / warning: the illustration on the cover (gorgeous) lends an air of whimsy and might catch the eye of younger readers. While everything in the book is tastefully handledfrom the romantic scenes to the snake attack scenesthere are ongoing references to the need for marriage consummation. A ten-year-old picking up the book may not realize that this is talking about breaking a spell via the honeymoon conjugal intercourse, but it does seem more of an adult theme than the cover implies the book carries.

Question: Perfect toddler pool fun, recommend!

My 1, 3, and 8 year old love this! It might have been a little small for an 8 year old, but we put a bigger slide in it so it was kind of like a ("slide-n-slip") slip-n-slide on the long end. The slide attached to it was not so good. There is not enough room at the end of the slide so everyone, including the 1 year old, would slide down then hit the edge of the pool. The smaller pool area behind the slide was perfect for the one year old to drop his toys in and my 3 year old sat in it like a little jacuzzi.  You can attach a hose to it and it will spray/mist water, but you don't have to use this feature.

Perfect toddler pool depth. There are some blow-up toys that come with it. A turtle, whale, and some ring toss thing. The whale kinda looked a little inappropriate as the water spout coming out of it's head looked like something that made the adults all laugh.

Draining and drying it out has been a little difficult. I drain it, flip it over to dry, then it always flips back over (from the slightest of breezes) so I end up with a little pool of water in it in the corners. We don't want to have to inflate/deflate constantly, so I just spray it out again before each use. Not a huge deal. I also move it around our yard every few days so the grass in one spot doesn't die. Works well.

I had to return these, but only because when I received them they were just a tad too small for the boots I planned on using them with. I have since ordered another pair by the same manufacturer which are a better fit, and they are great! Perfect for keeping out dirt and gravel from my boots while hiking!

Question: Best 3 books I ever read on this subject.

With a sister like that Emma didn't have to worry about having enemies. I loved all 3 books. This is a must read. It's to bad you can only give 5 stars rating as it should be 100. I have told and expressed to family and friends get these books. The passion this author had in writing these books was just fantastic.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book that kept me guessing, and then shutting my gaping mouth as one twist after another stunned me over and over again. Amazing how things change. If only that had happened,  this might not have. The lives of three women are intertwined inexplicably. The course of their lives all bound by the same twine, by the same horrible event that happened all those years ago. As each of them struggle to understand how to do the right thing, to understand what could possibly be the right thing, you take the journey with them, as bewildered and torn as they are. This is a very affecting story, and I highly recommend it, especially for the unpredictable turns it takes, and for the fact that you won't easily forget it when you're done.

Question: I ordered a new unit & I don't think it is new.

I had this same item I order from REI a year & a half ago & it was perfect.  I dropped it too many times & it stopped recording the distance I am walking.  Everyone said buy it thru Amazon, big mistake.  It is not measuring my walking distance correct.  There has been a rattle in the item ever since I first started using it, I don't know if it is the case or the battery.
I guess I will go back to REI & buy it from them, at least I know for sure it's a new item.

Very pretty, professional and so happy with this.  It fits my stethoscope perfectly.  I'd just rebuilt it, and this was a wonderful addition.  I am glad that it is difficult to remove, as I wanted a tag that wouldn't come off easily.  Stethoscopes have a way of walking away if you're not careful.  Definitely recommend this!

Question: Broke within 5 minutes, Cheap Chinese junk that will look cool sitting on a shelf untouched.

Broke within 5 minutes, seriously, while I washing it before first use. Cheap Chinese junk that will look cool sitting on a shelf untouched. But forget using it. The box includes an instructions page how to use the mug properly. They show a drawing how easy it is to lose control over the lid/head. Well, it's near impossible to support the head/lid during use or cleaning. The pewter snapped, the lid/head fell to the floor and shattered. Before I could do anything else, I putt the rest of the mug down on the counter normally, and a piece of the bottom rim chipped off.  My coworked picked up a piece of the shattered lid/head and was able to crumble it between his fingers. Do not waste your money on this unless you plan to leave it on a shelf untouched.

I used Norton Utilities back when any memory over 640k was a rare luxury. It was fast and reliable; it just worked brilliantly. Shortly after they were acquired by Symantec it immediately became useless bloatware. I gave up on it and moved on to other products which required fewer resources.

Norton 360 is a return to the good old days. I bought it because it claimed to be improved in terms of resource demands. It didn't hurt that it was also on sale. I have to say I am very impressed. I works silently and efficiently. Unless your machine is ready for the scrap heap, you'll never know it's there. Which is just the way I like it.

Highly recommended.

Question: Tips, advice, mouthwatering recipes, and entertaining writing make this a hit

I was absolutely thrilled to get a chance to read this new cookbook. I don't entertain as much as I'd like, but I love to eat simple and hearty foods everyday, and this book has some amazingly creative ideas for things that just about anyone could make, but I never would have come up with on my own.

The book starts with spice blends, rubs, marinades, salsas, relishes and sauces, and has some great ideas for spice mixes you can make in advance and keep on hand, and loads of tips for getting the best flavor and texture out of your food. Blazing Hot Guava-Habanero Hot Sauce, and Scandinavian Sugar and Spice are just two of the great recipes you'll find in this section.

Then they move on to some really fun sounding party drinks and appetizers to get the party started (Gingered Thai Iced Tea, anyone?).Toasted Pecan and Blue Cheese spread, Cheddar Chutney Puffs, and Caramelized Brie are three of the mouthwatering recipes.

Then comes the meat of the book, literally. Pizzas, Tapas, Sandwiches, Fish, and each major kind of meat each get a large chapter, followed by salads, pastas, and then desserts (White Chocolate Custard Ice Cream - oh my!).

This is a huge and highly useful book. I love that the ingredients are just exotic enough to make things interesting, but not so exotic that I can't find them in my small town. They have a wonderful mix of uniquely American foods and loads of neat foods with an ethnic twist.

I like it.  I have a large cutting board and it makes it easy to scrap up chopped things like onions and garlic etc.

Question: Astonishing results!!

How did we manage to keep our jewelry looking shiny and nice without these jewelry cleaning cloths?  Wow!  The size of each cloth is perfect for cleaning jewelry from watches to rings to necklaces, and does an outstanding job!  I cleaned our rings in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner first, rinsed and dried them, then polished with these Premium Jewelry Cleaning Cloths.  Oh, my goodness!  My husband has a large Black Hills Gold that had tarnished quite badly and it looked like black oil amidst all the nooks and crannies of the intricate design.  Nothing would clean it off except taking it to the jewelers for a professional cleaning, and that's not always convenient.  I cleaned it in the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, and after rinsing and drying it, I put the polishing cloth to work.  We could not believe how much stuff the cloth was taking off even after an ultrasonic cleaning!!  It looks like a new ring again, and he is thrilled!  Our wedding rings sparkle as does another ring I wear.  It's astonishing what these small cloths can do.  Using an ultrasonic cleaner is only part of the process.  If you really want your jewelry to look new again, do yourself a favor and order these amazing jewelry cleaning clothes.  They are nothing short of amazing; your jewelry will love them, and so will you!

But it felt rushed. I've been a huuuuuuge league fan since the first book born of night, but i haven't been this disappointed in a book since Calliens. The first 3rd of the book could have had some fleshing out of the characters, and the next 20 or 30% was just copy pasting, with a few tidbits of Bas`s point of view. The end was the good and the bonus story, fantastic and better than the actual story. I'll still buy these, but I sure as hell hope they aren't as bad.

Question: A Must Read Thought-Provoking Post-Apocalyptic Tale

The Reader of Acheron is an outstanding tale and a wonderful read. Walter paints a deeply textured and storied post-apocalyptic world. He created sympathetic characters, both good and evil. I often felt as if I could see the aged and dilapidated rural landscape through a crystal clear mind's eye. I highly recommend the Reader of Acheron. It is a thought-provoking post-apocalyptic tale that will have you up late and burning through pages. There might even be a surprise twist, but you didn't hear it from me.

Question: When they say "Mini", they mean it!

I received my cordless mini mixer today, and was amazed by how small it really is.  Those raspberries in the picture should have given me a clue.  It arrived in a box the size of a 3x5 index card.  I put in the batteries and inserted the whisk attachment, as it is the one I planned to use the most.  This was fortunate, because there are no instructions as to how to remove the attachment, and I can't get it back out. Indeed, there are precious few instructions at all.  I didn't expect much action, but the little gadget did a nice job whipping up some protein powder and milk in a small glass jar.  Obviously this is not the machine to tackle mashed potatoes or cake batter, but it's easy to clean and takes up no storage space.  Whether it will last long remains to be seen.

I have had these ramps for years, and this is my second pair.  They have NEVER failed to get me out of a snowdrift!  As a single lady, they give me huge peace of mind, just having them in my vehicle!  I should add that I live in the country, so there isn't always someone around to help me when I get stuck!

Question: Courage, Grace and Dignity

The unspoken truth is that most of us have some unsettled history of turmoil that vacillates within us.  And yet, while we try to deny the disruptive pain that it causes, we are again victimized by our inability to accept the past for what it was and embrace the future for what it is not.  However fictionalized this book may be, it rang true to me for Thomas Wolfson has taken this reader on a very personal journey that felt so familiar.  The author quotes the paternal figure's observation on life with "Life is nothing short of war to be waged with courage, grace and dignity".  For me, those words speak loudly to Thomas Wolfson's triumphant war with his own unsettled history for he has obtained victory with courage, grace and dignity........something I hope we all can do one day.

Note the square corners on this item. It will not fit properly in your sink. It is always lopsided no matter how you place it.
