Question: Excellent Taste - Perfect for a Diet

Doesn't seem like much to look at dry, but watching that little packet "bloom" in hot water is a delight ... better yet, the taste is excellent.  Low-cal and nourishing, excellent aroma and taste ... what more could you ask for?  Oh yeah ... more locations to buy this wonderful product!!

Delicious!!!
Book was a real page turner. A couple of surprises. Would recommend for book clubs. A lot of interesting issues to discuss.

Question: It worked fine, until it didn't

It worked fine, until it didn't. The ratcheting function gave out pretty quickly, and the swivel head has so much free movement that it's functionally a 90-degree head. It won't hold an angle with reliability.

These break the second you put them in the Breville. Do not buy!

Very comfortable fit and soft material. I recommend this product. My order arrived quickly with amazon prime. Loved the whole experience.

Couldn't be comfier! Got a half size up from normal so I could layer a wicking & lightweight wool sock in there. I get a lot of compliments on these. Great combo of style + utility.

Question: soothing natural lip balm.

My favorite lip balm. Great taste (not to eat!) not greasy and lightweight. No waxy feel. I have at least 4 that I keep everywhere so I never have to search for it!

Great packaging on this product. I love the re-seal able bag! It is exactly as expected quality wise and I will definitely be purchasing again!

Covers a wide range of physical abilityies. The routines range from just getting stronger and more limber to specialized plans for many different sports.

The best thing about all the books from Agile Rabbit Press are the CD-ROMs. They come with full 1200 dpi scans (huge) of the images in the books! This is an excellent source of quality art!

Anyone 12 and older who has a copy of something like photoshop can use the magic of "click+alt+shift+backspace" to magically change the black and white images to whatever colour your heart desires.

With this book you could make your own designs without having to recreate an old fashioned Japanese pattern by hand!

Question: Excellent overview of Rheingold's work

I've been following Howard Rheingold on Twitter and through his website for a while now.  This short (62 pages), Ted book provides an accessible overview of some of Rheingold's key ideas.  The book begins with a brief historical account of humans' relationship with tools (from thought and language, to the alphabet, to the printing press) and makes the argument that because of the unique capabilities of the human brain, humans co-evolve with their tools. Drawing on research conducted from a variety of disciplines (physics, mathematics, psychology, artificial intelligence, etc.), Rheingold provides a framework for thinking about how we might best harness current digital tools to work collectively to solve the many problems we face. What I like most about Rheingold is that he never sugar coats the digital revolution; he acknowledges that technologies have been used in destructive ways, yet he remains optimistic that by emphasizing mindfulness, compassion, and empathy, digital tools can transform our lives.

I have come to like this series. It is somewhat predictable but the characters pull you in. I like Ruth's writing style and the pages just flow without unnecessary content. Looking forward to reading Rise if the Billionaire.

Eyetracking
Web Usability

by Jakob Nielsen and Kara Pernice
Published by New Riders'[...]
(an mprint of Peachpit)
ISBN-13: 978-0321-49836-6
Pages: 437
USA: $[...]

Have you ever wondered why certain parts of a website catch your eye and you ignore or completely miss others? Whether you are designing a corporate website, simply working with a private site, or setting up a blog for the first time, this book will take you into the world of design and what works.

Authors: Neilson and Pernice take us on a detailed journey demonstrating what works and grabs your attention longer than a split second. Eyetracking technology allows you to see what people see on mainstream websites.

This book's main focus is "to study look patterns and how they relate to Web usage". It is "not a general book about Web usability", although it gives an excellent insight into why people go to certain areas on a page. Throughout the eight chapters, we learn how "Eyetracking" technology works. Also, you will find a summary covering human behavioral patterns, resulting from these extensive studies.

The second chapter is a little dry as it explains how this technology works, data collected, fake tests, study participants and cost evaluations. Other chapters get into the heart of page layout, navigation design elements and images. Chapter seven covers advertisements which is a major aspect of the Internet. Everything, from when people look at ads to the impact of ad placement, is detailed in a quite interesting fashion. Here is where you find out what works and what fails.

The authors point out the need for corporate executives to stand aside and let the professional graphic designers do their job. They show how upper-level management employees who know nothing about design and graphics can destroy the design due to ignorance of "web usability" and drive customers away. '
Not contained in the book keeping "this book at a manageable size" are two "separate reports" made available online:

Eyetracking Methodology: How to Conduct and Evaluate Usability Studies Using Eyetracking: [...] and How People Read on the Web: [...]

If you are, in any way, part of a team that works on websites, or if you have your own personal blog and want your sites to work, this book is something that you will keep going back to as a reference guide. There is an excellent Table of Contents in the front and a well laid out Glossary in the back to make sure you find exactly the topic to research and learn.

Ho hum.  Ordered this for our book club, but found it tedious and quite redundant.  I DO not recommend for anyone.

Question: Marilyn Horne scintillates

This 2-CD set includes 32 separate "cuts."  Thus, it provides a perspective on the broad range of works that Marilyn Horne mastered.  While some pockets of work may be given somewhat short shrift (e.g., Rossini), overall this shows off her skills nicely.  Born in Bradford, Pennsylvania (one of the coldest places in the nation during winter), she made her operatic debut in 1954.  In liner notes copyrighted in 2003, she notes that: "Can't believe it's time for a 70th birthday celebration. . . ."  And neither can I, since I recall hearing her perform at the Met (via the old Texaco opera show), and it does not seem all that long ago!

Some cuts well depict her artistry across a range of genres and composers.

The "Habanera" from Bizet's "Carmen" is, to be sure, an old chestnut by now, but she sings it with a rich and lustrous voice.  She sings a seductive aria seductively.

"Eccomi al fine in Babilonia" is from Rossini's "Semiramide" and shows off her skills nicely.  This piece shows off the range of her voice well.  Her voice is very agile, as it would need to be to do Rossini justice.  There are some nice runs; the cabaletta showcases her agility and allows her to display well sung ornamentation.

From Handel's "Semele," we hear "Hence, Iris, Hence Away."  This is a sprightly piece that is characteristically well sung by Horne.

Handel's "Rosalinda" features a nice work for mezzos, "Dove sei amato bene?"  If I hear correctly, Horne begins this with a trill in piano; there are a number of nicely executed trills in this work.  This cut is smoothly and richly sung throughout.

"Addio, addio o miei sospiri" comes from "Orfeo ed Oridice" by Gluck.  A sprightly paced work.  Horne shows off excellent ornamentation; her coloratura technique is terrific.

From "Norma" (by Bellini) there are 4 cuts (from a longer scene), featuring collaboration with Joan Sutherland.  The two singers worked well together in a number of operas, and this set of works illustrates that synergy beautifully. "Mi chiami, o Norma!" starts things off.  The two voices meld extremely well together. "Deh! Con te, con te li prendi" features fine work all around.  Both singers display good vocal dexterity.  Horne hits one high note with a bit of harshness, but not an issue of any moment.  "Mira, o Norma" is ravishing; Sutherland's and Horne's duet is absolutely wonderful.  Finally, "Si, fino all'ore estreme." This is a fast paced duet, with both singers manifesting considerable vocal agility and sound coloratura technique.  When they sing together, their voices almost sound "twinned."

Finally, "Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair."  Horne sings this straight, without the ghastly "opera-tizing" that some singers cannot resist.  Sung simply and powerfully.  Her rich voice produces a very good vocal effect.

And so on.

Although this CD does not fully represent her repertoire, it does provide a good sense of the art of Marilyn Horne and it suggests the range of her singing.  For those wanting to get a sense of Horne's oeuvre, this is one recording that provides entre to her body of work.

I absolutely love The Hayle Coven Novels!  The author, Patti Larsen takes the reader on an amazing ride with the Hayle Coven.  Witches, Demons & vampires, it has it all!  Poor Sydlynn has lost her demon side & her powers.  Who has tampered with her mind & will she find the answers to this whole mess?  Can't wait to start the next book!  Highly recommended!

Question: Great Introduction For Younger

I purchased this book as an introduction to world views for my 12 year old daughter.  We both appreciated the way Macaulay presents the ideas she sets forth in the book.  They are presented in active manner often asking (in the beginning) the young person about their willingness to explore these ideas.  I think it's great for the tween who may have a desire to form their own thoughts and ideas as she acknowledges this and encourages them to do so - thoughtfully, with reason, logic and the gospel.

I have had other books by this author.  They are well written and contain sooo much information.  Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Question: Excellent multi-use paracord (military spec) bracelet ...,

This is a truly innovative bracelet.  As soon as I held it in my hands I knew that the paracord just had to be military spec and indeed it is.  Its a cobra weave, typical for this type of bracelet.  Very sturdy and a full nine feet of paracord when unraveled.  Its 7-strand so you can definitely make use of the paracord in an emergency.

What the really cool thing about this bracket is the built-in striker and ferrocerium (magnesium) fire rod.  The striker is serrated and will pull off some of that magnesium so you can start a fire if you have to.  The striker is sharp and can be used for other purposes as well, but is totally built into the clip once close.

Another interesting feature is the whistle.  Nothing like having an all-in-one bracelet on your wrist.  One must have book is John Lofty Wisemans book, the SAS Survival Guide 2E (Collins Gem): For any climate, for any situation.  If you want to learn some serious survival skills or are just curious, this is a good place to start.

Question: Hood Shock Supports for 2000 Maxima SE

Works really good, very strong, and super easy to install.  Literally took me about 3 minutes to change both sides!  So nice after the last few years of nearly getting smashed from falling hood, should've replaced long time ago considering how cheap these are.

Perfect fit for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD.  Does NOT come with the install bolt so pick one up at your local dealership.  5 minute install!

True to size, great material. First suit I have bought since I had my 3 boys that I am not embarrassed to wear. Covers well, and the bottom actually FITS. Very cute, and yet modest. LOVE IT!! And it says a lot when I am willing to share pics!!

I spent a lot of money on this because it came from Japan. But it was well worth it, to see my son's face when I opened the box.

Question: Buyer beware if you are purchasing a used copy.

I was replacing an old copy of this cookbook that was so well used it was falling apart.  I really like several of the recipes.  Junior League cookbooks have recipes that I use for weekday cooking.  The book is no longer in print, so I bought a used copy in "very good" condition.  When it arrived, I could smell this moldy smell right out of the box.  When I opened the book the bad smell was completely overwhelming.  I didn't even want to put it on the shelf with my other books.  Sorry, but it had to go directly into the trash can.  I suggest thinking twice before buying a used copy.

I had this cd before and it got broking so I order another one and this don't have al the song on it like the first one.

Easy to use, rugged, and great sound!  We use this on the golf course... it fits in the cup holder of the golf cart!  We also take it camping, hiking, or just playing in the backyard.  Battery life is good too!

What more could you ask for.  The cord is detachable which is nice, the plug isn't a wall wart extruding sideways instead, and it charges my phone, nook, and other devices.

Question: I was on the side of enjoyment.

I know this author from her psychological thrillers but I have never read one of her historical fiction stories. When I read the author's biography I realized that the author actually started out as a historical fiction writer before turning to her psychological thrillers. I read mixed reviews about this book so I was not sure about it going into it from the beginning. Yet, I was on the side of enjoyment. Alexandria is full of hellfire. I loved her willingness to stand up to Drake. She sure matched him wit for wit. They were a match made in love. Although, I know that Drake's nickname for Alex was "princess" to tease her but by the end it turned into a cute term of endearment. The moments when Alex and Drake were alone was great. I could really feel the love between them. Another person that I enjoyed seeing in this book was Smitty. Drake's right hand man. He was so kind and was a man of wisdom. After actually enjoying this book, I want to continue on with the next book and get to know Drake's younger sister, Samantha even more in book two.

To be fair I only bought this till I could get the one I wanted with wrist support,  so it served uts ourpose but isn't great for long tome use

Question: Butera Delivers On Creating a Meditation Plan

"Butera does it again (after The Pure Heart of Yoga). He captures the depth and richness of an important subject like the practice of meditation in a way that is both practical and thorough. Meditation for your Life takes both the novice and veteran meditator on experiential discovery tour to refine, remind and invite the reader to practice. This book would make a valuable holiday or gratefulness gift for Yoga teachers to share with their referral sources, students and family. The careful treatment of familial faith practices is sensitive, but direct, while allowing readers to understand they have probably had meditative experiences under different names in their past. The text also lends itself as a great study guide for Yoga teacher trainings with transferable embodied lessons for teachers to share with their future students."

I bought the book after hearing Carla speak at a professional luncheon.  She's a dynamic speaker and the book is well written and full of sage advice.

Although I had never heard of Two Rivers before, I found the coffee to be very good and the variety was as I hoped.

I found this game a little tedious and not better than Mario Kart for crash contests.  Crashing is serious business and you need the absolute best graphics to do it enjoyably.

I personally didn't love it, but my 13 year old son begged me to get this for him for an early Christmas present. It was seriously all he talked about for  days. Begged us to play all the time. He LOVED it! Depending on who
You play with, depends on how much fun you will have.

Question: Masterpiece of a performance

For anyone who has had a fascination with Shostakovich's mammoth 4th Symphony and its spectacular range of expression, this performance is indispensable. Reducing to two pianos a work that boasts such a dazzling array of orchestral effects is one thing. Executing same as a self-sustaining and totally compelling concert piece is quite another. Hayroudinoff and Stone pull it off brilliantly. The playing is crisp and exacting. LIsten to the humongous fugue in the first movement, a section that seems almost impossible for a full orchestra to execute. In this 2-piano version every note of this whirlwind section comes forward to be fully savored. The same remarkable clarity characterizes the rest of the performance. They provide exactly what one expects from such a transcription: a clear resolution of the work's rhythmic, melodic and harmonic complexities. The pianists also embrace the 4th's fantastic range of psychological states --  ecstasy, anguish, melancholy, agitation, tragedy --  with effortless power and grace.  What is remarkable is that they still manage to pull the whole thing together in a performance that is never less than totally absorbing. The 4th Symphony is not for everyone's taste, and certainly not for the faint of heart. But for those who have already formed an attachment to this early work of genius on the edge, this once-in-a-lifetime performance will blow you away.

Wish the video version of this was still available. It is on YouTube though, but the quality could be better.

Question: Great story, not-so-great narrator

The narrator has a distinctive husky voice. When reading dialogue her voice becomes raspy to the point of being bothersome. My daughter, who has never previously expressed strong opinions in this area, declared she could not endure it and refused to listen past introduction.  This despite her strong interest in the story.
Suggest listening to sample first and if you enjoy the narrator, then by all means, get the book.  The story is a lot of fun.

A few grammatical errors that editing should have caught but other than that a good read.

Question: Too bright but solidly made

Pros: the charge lasts a really long time, the 3 levels of light are nice, it's a solidly made product that feels like it will hold up
Cons: the arms of the light are too long and flexible, it's difficult to position in a way that is truly handsfree and useful; the light is a little too bright and directional, even at the lowest level, it's not comfortable for reading

Ultimately, I wish I had bought something else.

Not the nicest, but for the price, defiantly not the worst. Bought 3 for my sisters at Christmas and they still wear them all the time.

It's a very beautiful fit nicely especially for a tall girl nice concealer receive a lot of compliments when I wore it

The story was introduced loosely in the first part of the book, but then the next 3/4 of the book was about sexual tension and lust between the two main characters.  I got very bored with it - the same repetitive sex scenes over and over!  Then finally the good part of the story started coming together toward the last quarter of the book.  The actual story line was imaginative and well written, although traveling in a trunk with a man over six feet tall and a woman both in it, was pretty unbelievable since that trunk would have had to me monstrous!  If you like time travel stories you might like it, but I like something with a little more substance and story to it.

I received my radio yesterday,  Nov 13, 2014,  so immediately unwrapped it from box and installed according to directions.  this radio is to replace my other Grace digital that i bought about a year ago which was of lessor quality.

Question: Was great for a while

Was great for a while, but stopped working pretty quickly. I bought this so I could listen to the radio in the shower, and yes, I kept it directly out of the path of water (hung it from my shower rack, so it never got more than splashed on), and after a few months it stopped working. It technically turned on/off, but it became completely unable to gain reception, no matter where it was placed. Maybe good for brief use, but if you'd like to use for more than six months, not so much.

Barely makes ice. Wouldn't recommend to anyone

Poor quality nylon material. Turning tips have melted on both with only a few uses.  Maybe good for taking cookies off the baking sheets, but not for stovetop cooking.

Question: Amaizng case that makes the iPhone feel even more amazing.

How can this item be without tons of raving reviews? I just met someone with this case and it was the most solid, well designed, perfectly fitting bumper case that I have ever seen. It's actually worthy of being on an iPhone. It feels almost as if it's a part of the phone and not an accessory. I actually tried to buy it from him in the Starbucks where we met and he of course declined. Luckily, I have mine now and have found the perfect iPhone protection solution for me. I hope they have their shop ready to be tooled for the iPhone 7! You guys now have a customer for life and I've shown this off to dozens of friends and colleagues in just the couple of days I've had it.

Question: Nice kitchen compost pail

This stainless steel compost bin is perfect for collecting kitchen scraps for our outdoor compost bin.  Good quality and size.

I liked this product just wished it could have been bigger for the space on my counter top that I used it for. You might want to purchase two for a larger space.

Question: Tight fit unless you are in good shape

This is a great outdoor vest, perfect for yard & shop work in cooler weather.  It's only drawback (cost it one star) is that it *is* a snug fit if you are a little over-weight.  This would be a great vest if it was looser fitting around the belly and had some take-up straps for those of us who still have a 20-year old's belly.

Not much room for my junk. Feel like my boys are in a vice.

Question: Not reliable - pay more for a different battery

I was really disappointed - I was hoping to experience what some of the more positive reviewers did, but ended up in the "don't get this product" category.  I didn't think anything would be worse than the original Samsung battery - which I never got more than about an hour and 20 minutes worth of charge out of, but this one is worse.  I followed the installation instructions EXACTLY so that was not the issue.  What's worse about this than the original is that you can check battery levels within seconds and receive wildly varying results.  One second it will say you have an hour left and the next 20 minutes, then back up again.  And it is not remotely accurate, although the Samsung wasn't either but I learned right away that if it said I had 15-20 minutes left I really had only a few.  This one you have no idea where you're really at.  Every time I've used it on just battery, it's completely shut down unexpectedly in the middle of my work.  I think the lowest it's gone where I've checked it is that I have 30 minutes left and the next second it's crashing my system.  And I paid extra for expedited shipping because this is the first time I've had to replace the battery and wasn't sure how long the original would hold out. So more $ wasted there.  My recommendation is to bite the bullet and pay more for another battery.  I can only use this one when it's plugged in, otherwise it's not reliable and I don't want to lose data or damage my computer with the harsh shutdowns.  Not happy at all....

exactly as described.
Just make sure that the item is suitable for what you need.
I bought this for a camera but looked up the manufacturer's recommendation first to be sure.

Question: Sound Pretty Good off of Factory Power

These sound pretty dang good off of factory power (my car has a factory amplifier).  The bass tightened up compared to the factory speakers and the highs are certainly more detailed, if not a little brash.  I think that'll tone down some (it already has), but it makes sense for speakers located in lower doors.  I will eventually put something like 40-50 watts to these, but for now so fa so good.  I'm very disappointed that Focal calls these "Integration" and "universal" but does not include appropriately sized 6.75" mounting rings (similar to what comes to Kenwood speakers).  Just basic 1/4" plastic rings that will bridge the gap of typically large factory speaker hole cut-outs.  I found something made my Metra, but still... annoying.  The tweeter on these rotates.  I'm not sure why considering it doesn't ANGLE when it rotates (at least not much).  Maybe that's just for aesthetics?

Holy cow! This little box packs a punch. Everything is clearer, deeper, more full. Cant believe my set up was missing this the whole time! Highly recommended, and you cant beat the price at all.

Question: Hard-hitting but hopeful

I really do not think that any man is immune to the sexual temptations which are prevalent in our society.  It is all around us, and we do not have to got far to be tempted.  Sometimes, we do not even have to look for it, it just finds us.  The world has become so desensitized that we hardly notice the scantily clad girl on the billboard or on the internet ad.  Yet, men notice and are easily tempted by it.

Douglas Weiss does not hold back but shares the whole ugly truth of sexual sin.  I appreciate his direct approach.  He provides statistics, anecdotes of men who struggle, and a Biblical strategy to overcome this sin.  He writes to get your attention and to inspire you to do the work necessary to become free from sexual sin.  I am so glad that someone is rising to the occasion to encourage men to be more than just "one of the boys".

This book gives me hope that we are not destined to live in sexual sin even though the world around us might say otherwise.  Men truly can live sexually pure lives.

Thomas Nelson provided me a free copy of this book in exchange for my review which I freely give.

My husband and I were considering adopting some older children from the Philippines and this was the first book we read. It really gave us a lot of insight and a glimpse of adoption from the point of the adoptee. Very realistic and gave a lot of food for thought. I highly recommend it!

WHO'S YOUR GRANDMA? is my favorite collection of poems for children. They are funny, touching, and clever, as are the brilliant drawings. I've gifted copies to my friends (moms and grandmas) who enjoy reading them, over and over, with their kids/grandkids. The poetry lessons are a terrific bonus!  Brava, and thank you, to author Jackie Sachen Turner, for this sweet volume of verse about some truly unforgettable grandmas.

Beautifully constructed....just like my Grandpa used to deliver mail in rural Indiana.  Nicely down Motor Max.

Question: ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Terrible Product

I recently purchased the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Motorola Droid Razr Maxx Screen Protector Shield. I had been pleased with similar products for my old Droid X. However, the ArmorSuit for the Droid Razr Maxx had terrible optics. It was impossible to eliminate the bubbles despite having followed the application instructions to the letter. It also significantly reduced the clarity of the screen even in areas without bubbles. I had to tear it off or go blind trying to read my phone.

It may be a coincidence but I also noted that I had trouble with my signal strength when it was on and this trouble went away when I removed it.

In short, don't buy this product, it is a waste of money.

Wore mine in Afghanistan during winter, kept me comfortably warm. Wish the neck piece was adjustable though, it often got loose and had space in front of my face.

Question: I had a bad reaction to a prescription overdose of antibiotic

This really is medical grade. I had a bad reaction to a prescription overdose of antibiotic. This honey taken 2x daily restored my digestive system fast.

What would you do if all the electricity went off, perhaps for years?  This is an easy series to read & think about.  Most of us have not lived on a farm or even raised vegetables in the back yard.  Are you naive and willing to trust people mean you no harm in such circumstances?  The series will cause you to think about those things.  And that's a good thing in any time.  The writer has interesting good guys & bad guys.  I wonder if it is as easy to take over an area as is presented here.  After thinking about it, I feel it is if  you are ruthless & have the ability to be equipped for such actions.  I liked the 1st one well enough to get the 2nd & 3rd right away.  Can't wait for the next one.  The plot is described by other reviewers.

This review is for the 60 Day Prepaid game CARD.

Shipping time was 2 days even.  Very fast.

The item came in a DVD-case (looks like what a boxed copy of the game would like like).  Inside was a small post card with a code.  I entered the code, and it instantly added 60 days to my account.

ESO says these game cards are available at participating retailers.  But I could not find any participating retailers in my State.  I'm very glad Amazon carries these.  I'll definitely order this again from Amazon.

they don't even rate one star.  Used one when I received them and it worked.  When I tried to use it again....in about a month..it was dried out.  Opened another one and it was already dried out...as where ALL THE OTHERS.  Got one use out of them.  I feel as if I were ROBBED.  Wish I could get my money back.

Question: Brilliant, fabulous, gripping, and totally sexy! 1-Click today xx

was kindly gifted a copy of this book by the author, for a fair and honest review.

I have read all books so far in this series and book four is by far my favourite. I don't do spoilers as i don't think it's fair to other readers.
Zeth starts of as the kind of guy who is all business, no nonsense, hard as fu**in nails, and takes not one ounce of shit from anyone. His tough exterior is admirable, yet we don't know what made him like that fully yet.
Book four has not disappointed me in the slightest. It is fast paced, sexy, sometimes a little scary.
If you love hardmen, who are muscled and tatted then this is the guy... err series for you.
Book three left us wide open, and anything could happen. I was seriously impressed with Callies original idea's and material. Some of the scenes had me holding my breath for long amounts of time.
The whole works by Callie are a tempestuous journey, the writing is awesome, the characters are all believable and strong willed. We have kick ass heroines, and rock solid hero's.
I cannot rate these books highly enough, and i am now chomping at the bit for book five. Come on Callie get a shift on love ;)

You will be completely drawn in and sometimes shocked by the imagery. This author is not shy in his telling of the story. There in a honesty in his use of the written word, that makes this story so real for the reader. Readers beware though, you will be hooked and eager for more of this Orc's adventures. One of the best I have read in a very very long while.

Question: My kitty won't eat the meat...only licks the gravy.

My cat will only lick the gravy and not the food. Meat is very rubber like . I have this problem with all the gravy foods. I stick to the classic and she is fine.

I was a beta reader for this children's book.  I am looking forward to a print edition, too.  Because it has pictures and interactive components, you cannot download it on your regular kindle.  But you can use your kindle app and it works beautifully.

The book is about a dog that doesn't fit the norm, no barking and no fetching.  I believe it shows that we all need love and you don't have to be like everyone else.  I believe in instilling the love of reading, and encourage reading to children of any age . This is a book that can be enjoyed as the child grows older and can read himself.

I think because the format is portable it's handy to have the book on hand in the car, for nap time, really anytime. Looks to be priced well too.

Question: Simplifying a complex subject

My reading material consists mostly of non-fiction but this book held my attention like a mystery thriller.  I just couldn't put the book down until I finished it.

Jeff Hawkins has used his considerable talent of presentation (think of wooing venture capital) to start chipping away at the mystique of human intelligence.  I, too, am fascinated with the ideas of intelligence, memory, and consciousness and have been frustrated with the fragmentation of these subjects into artificial (computer) intelligence, neurobiology, and physchology.  This is the first time I have seen someone propose even a rudimentary overall theory for intelligence that covers all these aspects and gives a working hypothesis for further study.

One of the insights I especially enjoyed was that input to the brain is essentially the same whether it comes from the eyes, the ears, or any other sense organ.  The input is a stream (or multiple stream) of bits which must be interpreted by the brain in light of it's past experiences.  That explains so much about sensory compensation in the blind or deaf and even the phenomena of people "seeing" sounds or "tasting" colors which I have read in other books.  It also points the way for the medical community to treat sensory deficits such as blindness or deafness.

New to me was the fact that neural messages coming from the brain to sense organs (feedback) are usually, if not always, more extensive than the messages from sense organs to the brain.  If this is so, it is completely ignored by all the other books on intelligence that I have read.  But it makes perfect sense in Jeff's concept of intelligence.

Could have used more and better illustrations but still a wonderful read.

I would have appreciated a larger font but found the book well written and clear in its explanations. The writer did not talk down to his readers but conversed with them.

Question: It is funny--often hilarious--and sad and true

Told in a series of short chapters or vignettes which are both self-contained and which bridge together to form a picture of shattered families and the confusion & fabulism of youth, this book is nothing short of delightful. It is funny--often hilarious--and sad and true. Summerfield evokes the bittersweet hopes and fears of Nenny with a strong narrative voice which is whimsical & wise and confident in approaching nuance and ambiguity with an open heart. EVERY OTHER WEEKEND captures a time and place--late '80s America--but what makes it special is how timeless its themes are. A stunning and enjoyable book. Read it.

The Limbaugh books on the history of the United States are impeccably accurate!  They are important and honestly written.  Children, as well as adults,  love them!  I hope Rush Limbaugh and his wife will write more about our country's history!  Excellent job, Mr. and Mrs Limbaugh!  I have read them to my grandchildren and to children at a local elementary school.  Thank you!

Almost like some type of toxic oil or gas. Never smelled anything like it before. Had no choice but to return it. If it wasn't for the smell, I would have kept it because it seemed decently made and could hold 6-8 cards, although it was tight. I assume it would expand more after breaking in.

Question: Bright, extremely well made, commercial quality, and will last for years. 11 watts, draws .93 amps.

This is a tank of a light. Glass lens, everything except the knob is heavy duty aluminum - and the knob is thick, heavy duty plastic. The head angle is adjustable and locked in place by matching teeth - not just friction.  The low voltage connection is the typical clip-on style, but this one can also be removed and reused. It is designed for heavier cable - 12 ga. A smaller gauge cable would be difficult to use.

I attached it to my test power supply and it drew .93 amps at 12V - that's 11 watts, just as advertised.  The dual LED's are bright and can be used for security or general lighting.

Mounting is designed to be via the included spike. If you need to mount it differently, you'd have to drill a hole to drop the pole into. The disc base shown in the photo is part of the spike, not the pole. From the light head to the pole base is 5.25". The spike is 6.2".

The light is extremely well made, commercial quality, and will last for years.

These arrived during a severe thunderstorm in the Deep South and went right to work. Put the batteries in and you are ready to go. They put out so much light you can leave one in a room and use the other to move about a dark house. This was a great find.

Question: Heavy armor in a light package

The USB case is definitely the best case I've owned thus far and just has this feeling in my hand that makes it feel like it could take any fall, yet I feel no bulk. I purchased the Magma version and the buttons are so much better in contrast to my Caseology case and it feels much more natural. The wholes are all accurate and I can fit my chargers and most of my third party headphones without any trouble.
Something that bothers most people is the holes in the back which collect dust, I fixed this by putting a screen protectors I had laying around and put it in so that it would cover the holes while leaving them clear. (: overall I think USC just became my top phone case company.

Pros:
- Turns your device into a tank

Cons:
- Device becomes twice its weight
- The screen protector will trap any oils or dust underneath itself
- Very small hole for the lightning port.
- The back of the silicon sags down when holding the device level

Question: A welcome addition to my 2006 Silverado

I finally got around to installing this.  I am very happy with it.  Works great.  You need to make sure you have a radio that has an AUX option. The only thing that was clunky/cumbersome was where to mount the big green box.  I just wrapped some foam pipe wrap around it and tucked it back in a dash nook.  No rattling around.  There is a great YouTube video that helped me take apart my dash, it was surprisingly easier than I thought.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWm7gceAsGo = Part 1.

Question: Professional Drywall Hanger Review

Professional drywall hanger and finisher here. Been hanging and finishing for 15 years and had my blade runner for about 4 years but 3.5 of that it has sat in the truck. I gave it an honest try on a couple jobs and sadly it's more of a gimmick than a useful tool. The front and back are different widths so you can't use it with a T-square. It cuts from the middle which you can't see so accuracy suffers. The magnets are really strong so watch your fingers and go slow when you pull it off the sheetrock so that the spring loaded separators can get in place or you'll destroy everything. Bottom line save your money unless you like the gimmicky tools.

I priced several wall mounts at double the cost. This Cheeta mounted easily and is a little more adjustable than many I had checked out...

Question: Good concept, but you're gonna need a better ball!!

I wish I had purchased the longer one, but figured this one would be decent for the house. It doesn't seem to throw that far, but then again I just got the product 10 minutes ago so I haven't had a chance to "throw" it outside. PROBLEM is! My Australian cattle dog chewed the ball in the first 5 minutes so we can't even use it until I go out and get tennis balls (the ball they give you is the cheap kind that splits down the middle which my dog did chewing on it already).

I typically don't ride reviews, but this incident deserves some notice. I left my phone atop the car and headed down the road. At about 40 miles an hour I heard a thump as the phone hit the trunk lid and I watched it out the back glass Bounce Down the Road. When I recovered the phone the case and separated from the phone but the phone was fully functional. I could tell the case had only allowed the phone to be stuffed in a couple places. I was skeptical that something so small could do such a great job. In addition to this case I used an I are true glass screen cover. I'm completely amazed I'm typing the review from my phone, it's working fantastic.

Question: Leaving tantalizing threads for the reader's imagination to explore is one of his greatest gifts to readers

This was my second book by Clive Barker after his "Books of Blood."  I have always found his works to be vast in scope. Only "Imajica" rivals it in its successful attempt at describing a whole new world of magic and monsters. He frequently hints at or mentions aspects of the mysterious worlds he creates without fully fleshing them out. Leaving tantalizing threads for the reader's imagination to explore is one of his greatest gifts to readers. Is it not always the fantasy unfulfilled which remains richest in our daydreams and nightmares?

I teacher junior high. I use these mysteries to help my students look past the obviously and back up their claims with textual evidence. They are also great for when we need a break in testing or in the last few weeks of school. Some of the solutions are strange and slightly out of modern context, but I am selective about which ones I share. They are also good for listening practice too.

Question: What's Christmas without Nestor?!

I'm sure the other two cartoons on this DVD are good, but the only one I really care about is "Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey."  I remember watching this special on television each year when I was little, and I absolutely loved it.  The story is about Nestor, an adorable little donkey who was born with two ears as long as a pair of elephant trunks.  Poor Nestor has a hard time managing with those ears, and everyone makes fun of him.  When his mother gives her life to save him on a cold winter night (a scene that makes me cry harder than when Bambi's mother dies), he finds himself all alone in the world.  Soon Nestor meets a friendly little cherub who guides him on a quest that puts his ears to good use.  Nestor SINGLEHANDEDLY (or maybe singleEARdedly?) saves the Virgin Mary's life when she is carrying Baby Jesus to Bethlehem!  How cool is that?!  (I guess you have to see it to believe it, but trust me, it's quite entertaining!)

All religious undertones aside, this is still a great holiday classic that everyone will enjoy.  Nestor is irresistible, and I'm thrilled that I finally own the DVD and can watch it whenever I want.

For that reasons, I gave a 2 stars rating.

xMarto contacted me regarding that issue, sent me two replacement camera and new firmware update.
One of the replacement camera came broken, but the other worked just fine.
After firmware update, and resets..,
And now, 7 of the 8 cameras are functioning well.

Had that one camera not been broken, it will be my five star rating.
xMarto NVR system is one of the best security camera system of quality at the lowest price out there!

OF COURSE, IFF IT WORKS!

I love the video quality, and the easy setup.

But one of the cameras randomly disconnects.
When unplugged and plugged again, it would work again.
Just tired of going to the camera to unplug and plug again and again.

Customer support doesnt seem to exist except returning the product.

Question: This is a poorly manufactured product and I would not recommend it; certainly not at the price they charge

I bought two of these umbrellas, and both of them became inoperable with the same problem after a couple months of use.  They become impossible to close due to shoddy parts or assembly (i.e.they stay in the open position, and you physically cannot push them back into the closed position without breaking the umbrella).  This is a poorly manufactured product and I would not recommend it; certainly not at the price they charge.

The screw that holds the umbrella upright broke immediately.  Complete trash, don't waste your money.

Question: Elegant and insightful

You'd think there would be little left to say about Francis.  Thousands of articles, monographs, and books have been written about the little poor man over the last eight centuries.  But Spoto has risen to the occasion in his new book.  He makes sense of the frequently confusing chronology of Francis' life in a manner that marks him as a master biographer.  But along the way he also offers rich insights about Franciscan spirituality and theology in particular and Christianity in general. (Spoto, by the way, has a doctorate in theology from Fordham University.)  Here's an example:  "Francis could not but surrender to the immediate impact of Jesus' words:  indeed, he approached them simply but fully, putting into practice the biblical counsels without waiting to consider their every implication.  In other words, in following the lessons of the New Testament he pursued the reverse of the usual means of pedagogy.  He did not try to understand what the Gospel meant and then attempt to find ways of carrying out its message.  Rather, he dared the experiment of first living that message, and from living it, discovered a new and practical way of understanding it." (p. 68)  Reflections such as this alone would make the book worth reading.  But Spoto is such a wonderful stylist and penetrating biographer that the entire book is a joy.  I'd recommend it alongside Adrian House's recent "Francis of Assisi:  A Revolutionary Life."

Question: The local heron or egret won't see them as easily. My only wish is that the Styrofoam floater ...

My pond has a 4 ft. deep area that I felt needed the oxygen.  this solved the problem and I note the fish aren't always in the shallower area now.  The local heron or egret won't see them as easily.  My only wish is that the Styrofoam floater was not so stark a color.  A green color or even brown would not be so obvious. Kind of spoils the look of the pond.  But it does the job I needed done.

Beware with this vendor "Toy Giant", I bought a NEW ISI cream Profi whip plus and i received an used one, box on out side was reasonably beat up and dispenser inside had some kind of liquid. This vendor is fullfilled by amazon. Took me some time to write this review because I don't speak english (sorry for that) and I bought this item from other country (that means that took me more than 8 days to received it), but my son told me that this could happen to other person and  i hope this do not happen again.

This product looks great and feels great on my arm, HOWEVER, it is already falling apart. I have had it for no more than a week and the glue that holds the plastic together is no longer working.
Use better glue or some kind of stitching.

Question: Westminster Abbey - Heart of a Nation

Westminster Abbey by Richard Jenkyns (Harvard University Press, 2005) is one of a general series of books called Wonders of the World under the general editorship of Mary Beard. Some of the other books in this series are: The Temple of Jerusalem, The Alhambra, The Parthenon, the Tomb of Agamemnon, The Colosseum, Stonehenge and the Forbidden City. Each of these books are short, Westminster Abbey is 215 pages and each is in a small compact format which makes for easy reading.
 Westminster Abbey not only gives a brief history of the Abbey, but talks about its importance in cultural history. In the case of the Abbey, it went from being the mausoleum of the royal family to being the burial place of a wide variety of famous people ranging from Isaac Newton to Lawrence Olivier and the location of ceremonies important to the British people ranging from the coronation of Kings and Queens to royal weddings and even the funeral of Princess Diana. It is a definite must read for all of those interested in the importance of Westminster Abbey in British History.Westminster Abbey (Wonders of the World)

Excellent concert, I never had the opportunity to see Andy and friends playing live, except for Jonas Reingold, sorry not to see Roine Stolt with this great, great musicians.
The variations in some pieces are astounding, GPS, Lost In London, In Earnest, The Music that died Alone..every piece is played with virtuosity, if you're in the prog movement, get it now!!!
One of the best concerts I've heard and enjoy in my livingroom. Wow!!!

Question: This fan worked fine prior to installation, but NOT after installation.

This was the first fan I ordered and installed in my daughter's laptop.  It worked fine prior to installation, but after installation it made a terrible noise for the two days I left it running with the hope it would wear down the fan blade(s) and quiet down (the fan blades seemed to be hitting their enclosure / shroud).  It did not stop making noise, and to my frustration, it did not make any noise after removal (It was hard to tell if the problem was cheap materials, poor engineering, or the quality control.  It simply could not handle the tolerances of the location in which it needed to be installed).  A replacement was suggested by the Amazon rep that I worked with on this return.  Only after ordering the replacement did I realize the replacement part was from the same source in China, only it was to ship from Texas (the first part shipped from Mainland China).  The second part worked like a charm without any fuss.  The second fan was purchased through American Computer Parts.

I tried to rectify the situation with the company but they only responded trying to tell me to do things that I had already done while trying to get these things to stick. It seemed easy to put up together but it's really difficult to figure out what goes where - when I finally go them up they went to falling off. Biggest waste of money and time I've spent in a while, I'm very upset and wouldn't order from them again.

Question: Gripping, touching, powerful, eyeopening!

Great read. What a gift and such an opportunity to gain historical and psychological insight into the life of a family in 3 generations living through the events of a Germany in the 20th century. Skillfully and suspensefully shares the author a detail oriented and sensitive perspective on the time before, during, and after WW2 in its impact on her own family. I was deeply affected and could not stop reading.

My husband and I were considering adopting some older children from the Philippines and this was the first book we read. It really gave us a lot of insight and a glimpse of adoption from the point of the adoptee. Very realistic and gave a lot of food for thought. I highly recommend it!

Question: IMPORTANT!  Get the right SD card!!

I'm  giving a five star rating at this time because I like how it's made, even though the device has not been working because I got the SD card that Amazon suggested, which is not compatible with this device. I found out from the company that the video has not been looping because I purchased the SanDisk Ultra Plus 32 GB card. Visit the company website for a list of compatible cards (http://us.papagoinc.com/2015/08/sd_card/).  The company rep was very helpful, and has guaranteed a replacement if, for some reason, the camera doesn't work  with the new SD card that I plan to purchase tomorrow.

Came early and really disappointed with the quality of the product. I think it was old. The package tear strip was already waiting to be opened and the screen was hard to put on due to the tabs not wanting to come off. Live and Learn

Question: Review for "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." by Gwen Stefani

How is a Gwen Stefani album any different than a No Doubt album? Gwen has always done all the vocals. She tries to appeal to both R&B and punk audiences, but it just doesn't work for me. "Hollaback Girl" is so annoying. She doesn't do any singing in it. All she does is scream random and meaningless things like "Bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" over and over. She's trying to hard to be ghetto now. You can't just suddenly switch from a punk to a thug that quickly. That said, "Rich Girl" is pretty catchy. But it gets annoying quickly.

I'm giving it 2 stars for the number of gems it actually contained. Since, on the package, and in the description online, it says it contains 5 gems I assumed it would be an accurate description. Afterall, how hard can it be to count out 5 gems and cover them with plaster?

Question: Great beginning book, but one significant shortcoming...

My spouse volunteered to take on a data collection and manipulation project for a non-profit using Access. Here is her report:

I was familiar with the basics of relational database design, and had used Access to a limited extent about 8 years ago. I had a good understanding of the data and how it would be used, so designing a robust database was pretty straightforward. My limitation was the nuts and bolts mechanics of using Access, especially the new 2007 version. I collected about 5 books on Access 2007 from the library, and this is the one really dove into, and ultimately ended up buying. I would say that if you are using Access 2007 you should be sure to buy a book specific to 2007, not earlier versions.

I really like the format of the book--it is organized into logical sections that are easy to follow. I especially like the way the infomation is presented-- there are plenty of examples with adequate illustrations, but the basic ideas are well explained before the examples, so that I found it easy just to sit down and read it to absorb most of the basic ideas. Then after I had acquired a good overview of, say, forms and their applications, I went back to the examples to try them out on my own data. Many of the other books I used explained the concepts only through the examples, so unless you were actually sitting at the computer following each and every step it was difficult to gather the fundamental concepts.

I think the sections on basic database design concepts would be adequate for those not so familiar with relational databases.

I did find one major omission that is critical enough that I ended up buying another book to supplement this one. I did not find any reference to action queries such as update, append, and delete. These have been really crucial to me as I consolidate date from many different sources, and the lack of info on action queries is glaring! (I'll admit that I didn't read EVERY word of this book, so I guess it is possible that I somehow overlooked it, but I was read the first 250 out of 350 pages pretty carefully.) I ended up buying "The Unofficial Guide to Access 2007" by Jim Keogh to supplement, but I'll warn you even that one has misinformation on the format of update queries...

All in all, though, I found this book to be a great basic introduction--concisely written, in an easily digested style. Very useful.

On February 20, 2014, I downloaded the 10th edition Kindle version of this text.  After reading chapters 9-11, viewing previous texts and looking at the publishing criteria, my Kindle version does not appear to be an authentic work by this author.  In previous editions, his style is to credit many other scholars and to provide a thorough introduction as to the intent and focus of the text.  My downloaded version provided neither.  Furthermore there within the three chapters that I read, there were numerous punctuation, grammatical and content errors that would not have passed the many editors who were listed as reviewers of this text.  It is my impression that my downloaded version is not an accurate representation of the author's work.

Overpriced and cheap! I purchased 2 of these for the kids to play with on Thanksgiving and one wouldn't hold air from the beginning and the other one got a hole in it by the end of the day. Would not recommend or buy again.

Question: Zimmer's Full Broadside for "At World's End"

Once again there have been comments that Hans Zimmer and director Gore Verbinski have relied on "film score by committee" for "Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End," including some input by Verbinski himself on "Hoist the Colours," and that is just fine because it all comes together with a full broadside both on the soundtrack recording and on the screen.  This is easily the best of the three "Pirates" scores, and may be one of the very best efforts by Zimmer.  To begin Zimmer integrates the main themes from the previous two films (and gives another tongue-in-cheek nod to Ennio Moricone), but he also presents a full fusillade of new themes.  He also goes back to the basics of a pretty much full orchestra treatment (with chorus) which is exactly what you want in a swashbuckler.  And indeed this is a fine swashbuckling and romantic effort from ominous beginning to heartrending end that runs right up the mizzen with Alfred Newman, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Max Steiner, and of late even James Horner.  This is a more complex and dynamic score than we have seen with the "Pirates" series that yields the necessary musical backdrop to a varied tapestry on the screen from the gallows hoisted in the Caribbean to Singapore (a great theme and treatment here), to the rolling seas (a soaring theme here especially in "What Shall We Die For"), with an amazing jig on a turning deck ("Up is Down") just for fun.  But it all comes together with a broad theme essentially for Elizabeth and Will.  Of course it frolics as well, Jack Sparrow is well represented musically and this provides the essential continuing thread that sews all of the film's tatters together, and may be setting the course for a fourth venture.  Beautifully produced (with a fair and representative amount of the score) and very nicely packaged by Walt Disney Records.

i did not like this work for a number of reasons. The first thing i hated was the sound. Too much echo or reverb. Unlike past albums were the sound was up-close and warm. The other thing i noticed was the poor attention to structure of songs. Most of these songs sound like rock improvisations . Obviously some were taken and worked into more structured songs but they all have this 'jam' feeling to them.

Also the aproach is more in the late Hammill compositional style than what we've come to know as the VDGG style.

Of course this is my opinion but if you compare this to any of the best works from the past you will know what i am talking about.

Question: Number of all time for a good reason

My first car had a stereo radio and tape deck and one of the first songs to get my attention on it was "Lyin' Eyes" because of the beautiful five-part harmonies on the song. It inspired me to buy the album and later to buy "Hotel California" and others, including "Hell Freezes Over" and "Long Road To Eden."  Some of these I own in both CD and LP.

These guys have the bestselling album of all time for good reason - it's great music flawlessly performed.  And even with the changes in personnel over the years (including Don Felder's "firing"), they remain a must-hear act and if anything, they are keep getting better.

Perfect flow, perfect coverage of body, and the adjustable flow is perfect.

Question: Some interesting rhythms here

I'm not a guitar player any more (and was never even close to the level of expertise this book requires). I bought the book to read the music and listen to the rhythms on the CD, as the title suggests.

And there were quite a few new rhythms that I had not heard before (almost all in the folk/country/R&B categories, one or two in funk or rock), and I could see how they were expressed in written score form. So I got what I wanted out of the book, I guess.

I was surprised that the "same" lick on the same page was often totally unrecognizable as it moved from distorted rock to R&B to jazz to country to funk. I often couldn't detect any similarity at all. Oh well.

It was clear that you'd better be a pretty good guitar player if you want to play these licks.

And of course if you play in only one genre, you don't get 200 licks in the book, you get maybe 30 or 40 for your money. And of those, you might find only a few that were interesting. I found 25 interesting out of 200, so about 10%, but I was open to licks in any genre, since I just wanted to see what rhythm looked like on sheet music. So if you like only 1 genre out of 5, then 10% divided by 5 = 2% of the licks might be what you like... :-)

I don't think I can recommend (or not) this book to the audience for which it was intended, because I'm not a good guitar player.

This man inspired me to write my own material. Thanks for being such great inspiration. Awesome compilation.

Question: Sloppy and NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE BOOK

Realistically, this was a frenetic almost schizophrenic take on the book. The book has been one of my favorites for years. Going into the movie, I knew it would not entail all the magical moments in the book. I am most forgiving of books made into movies, because it is 2 different types of entertainment. The pace of this movie was terrible, and some of the most moving and important parts of the book were not included. If I had watched this movie without knowing the book, I still would have disliked it. The major point of the book is the journey to reconciliation and forgiveness. The major point of the movie was women behaving badly and a good soundtrack. Do yourself a favor, take the money you would spend on this movie and get the book instead.

I believe the movie could have been done somewhat differently. it moved too fast and seemed more for the youger age groups
