Question: Great "opposites attract" YA Romance

What an amazing YA Romance! I loved Resisting the Rebel! This type of opposites attract story is right up my alley! And Lisa Brown Roberts definitely didn't disappoint! She has a great writing style that makes the story all the more enjoyable. I loved Mandy and Caleb and really enjoyed reading their story! I definitely recommend this one!

Easily, people, the best of their albums..I, unlike most people, was a Barenaked Ladies fan since the beginning, with "Be My Yoko Ono"-  I waited for this cd to come out, I ran to the store, and bought it with my "agricultural management" money, went  home, and listened to it, straight through, once.  I was amazed.  I had kind of expected a let down, after the many, many, bad second albums, and I was pleasantly surprised.  I must have listened to it a hundred times, all the way through that next month alone, and i was hooked.  Barnaked Ladies surpassed REM as my favortie band of all time (and trust me, they're hard to beat)-but melodically, and lyrically, MYSD is far superior to Gordon, and any albums that came a long- Born on a Pirate Ship was the inevitable let down, but thats a different review.  The album kicks off with "Jane" a great song about unrequited love in the mid-nineties,with a great riff,and a catchy chorus. 2-"Intermittently"-the pain of a breakup, the searching to get her back, and the need to be embraced by anyone, after they are gone, is captured quaintly, in this song-3."These Apples"-Like many songs on this album, a love song, but with a humorous twist, and a clever hook, women are, remember, the root of all evil...(these apples are delicious)-4."You Will Be Waiting-simple, aesthetic, song about love. Beautiful-5."A"-concert favorite. Fun, upbeat, and funny, a great song-6."Everything Old Is New Again"- a song about the disaffected youth of the nineties,and their feelings. 7-"Alternative Girlfirend"-Another love song with a twist, about different sort of girlfriend. 8-"Am I The Only One?"-Beautiful, beuatiful song, that manages to include humor in it, and retain its power, by cleverly breaking the lyrics at certain points, to make the listener assume something, then tweak that assumption.(Am I the only one, that loves when you leave...your hair down in front of your eyes?)- My personal favorite on the album. 9-"Tiny Little Song"-Just to prove that they weren't getting too serious, Andy Creegan throws this little nothing in there to lighten the mood.-10-"Life, In a Nutshell" Easily the biggest hit off the disc, this one is catchy,and happy, a bit of a changes from the previous songs. 11-"The Wrong Man Was Convicted" a sad,sad, sad, song about an ex-girlfirend and her new guy, and the ex-boyfriend's realization, too late, that he should have held on to her. 8-(12-"Great Provider"  It's about..leaving home for college? i really don't know, but its great.. And thats it.  12 great songs meched together into one great album-an underappreciated album,. but by far their best.. GO BUY IT!

Question: EXCELLENT EARLY SAN FRANCISCO SOUND

I BOUGHT THIS CD WITH VERY LOW EXPECTATIONS. I WANTED TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION OF 60'S SAN FRANCISCO MUSIC. WAS I SURPRISED WHEN EVERY SONG WAS GREAT. THE VOCAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE LIKE NO OTHER I'VE EVER HEARD. ANY ONE EVEN REMOTELY INTERRESTED IN FOLK ROCK PRE -PSYCHEDELIA SHOULD GET THIS CD. BEV BIVENS IS A REMARKABLE SINGER WITH A WIDE RANGE OF OCTAVES. THERE ARE NO BAD SONGS ON THIS CD. IN FACT THEY ARE ALL GREAT, EVEN THE SHOW TUNES ARE ARRANGED IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT THEIR OWN. LONG LIVE WE FIVE AND LONG LIVE ROCK!

Question: Most useful book for starting any business - online or traditional

I have looked into several things to help me with my online business, but this book is the most useful thing I have read. It lays out very clearly the steps you need to take from the very beginning to take a good idea and follow through with it to shape it into a successful business plan.
  The thing I love the most about this book is I found myself pulling out paper and pen right away and taking immediate action on my ideas! I am really excited to use this book to build my business, and now I feel confident that I can. I have been going back and forth for nearly 2 years now, wondering if I could possibly make a go of my business idea, but this book has really helped me develop a clear plan to make it happen.
  You will love the interactive bonus material, worksheets, and activities all throughout the book to get you moving in the right direction so your business can really take off!
  I think this book would be great for people in all lines of work, not just online businesses. I have been sharing what I am learning with my husband, who has just started a new business of his own ( a traditional company, not an online one) and he has been impressed with it and now wants to read it himself.

Mr. Ortega brings us a true story of the horrid ordeals one woman suffered at the unrepentant, morally scrupulous and notorious Church of Scientology.  While there are a multitude of other cast and characters intertwining this tale it offers a broad picture of what one "spiritual" organizations went through to ruin beyond belief the life of a journalist presenting a true story.  It is rich in detail and facts.  It also begs the question from any objective reader on why a church would, should or could operate this way.

It's an engrossing read and highly suggested for anyone who wants to know more about Scientology, and a true story of pain, perseverance and not backing down from a truth that needs to be known.

I was horrified what this woman went through and survived.  Mr. Ortega did a remarkable job of capturing every nuisance.  There are such extreme moments of incredulity, emotion and questions of how this can still be happening to others in one form or another.  I hope all who have the slightest interest in injustice, among many other topics, read this and start asking questions yourself.  A great read for more reasons than this readers heart can enumerate.

Question: More Than a Business Book

This was an enjoyable read. It was fascinating to see what Phil Knight could pull off in an age before Google when information was limited and you could bluff your way through situations easier. He and a few others pretty much willed  NIke into being. The story provides many lessons on risk and dealing with situations that seem insurmountable. But this is less of a business blueprint and more of an interesting story. It highlights the importance of living for something bigger than yourself. It also shows what some of the costs of doing that are--everything is a trade off. You can succeed but you can't have it all. The last chapter was heart-wrenching at times. This book will stay with me.

As usual Up From the Grave delivered a multifaceted plot with excitement and passion.  It was a fitting way to give Bones and Cat the down time and family they've earned.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I look forward to more from Jeaniene  Frost in her other series.

Another great Grisham book. Although the plot does make you question whether you think the bad guys should get caught or get away with it

love them, so pretty and very nice quality. Had to brake in straps a little, but I was very happy with them. I'm a size 6 in flip flops for some reason, I'm a 7 sneaker and 7 1/2 dress shoe , (not sure why that is). So anyways these fit as expected, size 6 fit perfect.

Question: Thor reigns King in this movie

The Huntsman--Thor is well acted, I didn't realize what  a good actor Chis is. Charlize is good and the camera likes Kristen a lot in this film. Kristen is much prettier than in the Twilight Saga films, but still lacks a little until she gets to the range of Charlize.

Question: Looks great and decently made

Roommate's grandson now sleeps in his bed not mommy and daddy's bed. Takes a toddler/baby bed mattress.

I've had these two months now -- they were a gift. I just cannot do ear buds and wanted something that goes over the ears for the gym. These are very good looking with the nice rose gold color. The headphones have a soft cushion and are comfortable although I push them forward just a tiny bit so that it breaks up the pressure in my head just enough.  The only place I use them is the gym -- so four hours a week at most. They are great for that -- wonderful sound actually. Is it like listening to my Bose speakers at home?  Nope but that's not what I'm looking for either. They are easy to adjust in terms of on/off, volume, and skipping a song while on a treadmill with no issues. These catch the Bluetooth on my smart watch and streams the music from that. Thus no dragging the phone around in the gym.  I charge them up every two weeks more or less and have never run the battery down. They charge fast.  For around fifty bucks, these are just ideal. I feel like much more was spent to get these -- I consider them a nice bargain. They aren't going to take a lot of abuse but they aren't flimsy either.

Question: A Billy Graham Music Homecoming Vol 2 DVD

I am a big fan of Bill Gather's Homecoming Videos and this one did not disappoint me.  I really enjoyed it.

These jeans fit perfectly and arrived quickly. Unfortunately the color is completely different from what is pictured. The jeans shown are a dark, uniform indigo color. The jeans I received are a much lighter color with fading along the thighs and seat. I was looking for a dressier pair of jeans and these don't fit the bill.

Question: I got my husband to read it!

This book was amazing.  I borrowed it from a friend of mine and I just couldn't put it down.  It was an easy to follow story, lots of suspense, and drama.  Even better was how the author gave insight to the artistic lifestyle of a geisha and how I really cared for and connected with the character.  I even convinced my husband to read this book, and he too, enjoyed it very much.  The book was 100% better than the movie.

Nice bright white light, don't like the blue ones. They have been working great for a week. We'll see how long they last. I would buy again, even if they only lasted a year.

Question: 3013: STOWAWAY (3013: The Series Book 4)

It was a good book, but not my favorite in the series. I agree with the review who said they just couldn't get into it. I think a big part of my problem was Trevor was twice the age of Sonja. She complained the two people that her parents wanted her to bond with were old enough to be her parents. She also did not like other things about them, but Trevor was still old enough to be her parent. He was 43. Not sure how old Deke was but he was younger. Plus Deke kept calling him old man and Trevor kept calling Deke kid. Not helping with the image in my mind. So when Trevor called Sonja kitten, I just kept seeing in my mind an old man calling her that. It would have helped maybe to see Trevors face on the cover to help keep these images away. I kept trying to tell myself that with being elite he still had to be a fine looking older man. Also at times Sonja came off as a teenager to me. Not helping with the old man images. I think there was something else about the book also that made it harder to get into, but not sure what. It was a decent story so I still gave it 4 stars. 9 people at this point still gave it 5 stars so others did not have a problem with it. You will just have to see for yourself. Anyway if she does another book then hopefully  it will be about Tkarra from Krytos.

Sex content high.

When I first gt this case I nwas thrilled. But within a week I started noticing a major flaw....well atleast to me it was. The rubberized paint that they use on the case peels off. and thats just from goin in and out of my pocket. I returned it and bought this instead (Acase Dual Layer iPhone 5 Case / Cover (Apple iPhone 5) - Superleggera...)

Question: Works for the most part. Couple of things though ...

Works for the most part. Couple of things though: 1) battery dies quickly 2) too sensitive; when my dog sneezes or coughs it sprays her.

NYPD Red is an elite task force that is in existence solely to protect the rich and famous of Manhattan.  Detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald have their own style that does seem to antagonize both those that they are protecting and their Captain.

During a movie premiere, an eight million dollar necklace is stolen and the young actress who is wearing it is killed.  During that investigation, they are also called in to investigate stolen hospital equipment.  Not to be out done by a simple who-done-it, the reader must also tag along on their interpersonal relationships and you will have the newest installment of the Red team.

Writing reviews for Patterson books is a bit tricky since there is a great deal going on but no real depth.  It is too easy to give too much of the storyline away.  If I say any more about the stolen necklace, it becomes transparent as to who is behind it even if that part does get a bit twisty.  If I mention the hospital equipment you will quickly see that underlying agenda.  If I talk too much about Zachs live in girlfriend then you might see the flaws in their relationship and then there is Kylie and her drug-addicted husband and you will quickly see that no good can ever come of their relationship.

Even though the books are light reads I still enjoyment.  They are easy to pick up and put down without having to go back a couple of chapters to resituate yourself.  The reader can take their time or finish them within a couple of hours.  Either way, you will be easily entertained without a huge investment in either time or concentration.

Question: Did what it's suppose to do.

This prouduct was offered at a very good price and worked as it was suppose to do.  I really can't ask for much more than that.

GRACIAS JS Scott!!

Por fin este libro ya esta en mis manos y la historia de Sam y Maddie es espectacular!! Fans de la serie comprendern que despus de haber ledo el primer libro en la Obsesin del Multimillonario ya queramos que Sam y Maddie tuvieran su propia historia.

Sam le rompi el corazn a Maddie muchos anos atrs. Ella ahora es una prominente Doctora que pasa la mayora de sus das en su clnica haciendo todo lo necesario por brindar un servicio a personas de bajos recursos; el trabajo le impide de cierta forma establecer relaciones romnticas, pues lo nico que hace es ver pacientes. Cuando su mejor amiga Kara le informa que se va a casar y que quiere que sta sea su dama de honor, esto la obliga a ponerla frente a frente con el hombre que le causo tanto dolor y desilusin anos atrs, nada ms y nada menos que Sam Hudson.
Sam en parte solo ha amado a una sola mujer y esa es Maddie. Situaciones del destino hicieron que tuviera que tomar decisiones drsticas que la alejaran de el, sin embargo, el destino le presenta una segunda oportunidad, y cuando su hermano Simon le informa que se va casar y que como su Testigo de la boda acompaar a Maddie en el cortejo nupcial este se propone a hacer todo lo que este de su parte para reconquistar a la mujer de su vida.
Desde el primer momento en que los personajes se re-encuentran la historia toma un giro a gran velocidad y la autora nos deleita con un dialogo muy entretenido y romntico junto con varias escenas candentes que nos aceleran el pulso y de varias sorpresas a lo largo del libro.

En mi opinin es un libro que fluye con naturaleza, que es adictivo al mximo y que cuyos aficionados al gnero de Romance Contemporneo para Adultos van a disfrutar plenamente.

5 ESTRELLAS!! Isalovesbooks

Question: Product excellent, shipping not so much

While I order 2 cases each month, the shipping is less than stellar.  Today's delivery included 8 dented cans. The large cardboard box was nearly destroyed in transit. In with the (heavy) 2 cases was a bag containing 6 bags of cat litter box pellets.  I unload the cases each month, placing the dented cans at the front so they are used first.  Would be nice to receive a shipment that is not damaged.

Got me through the first two levels of SysML certification. It's best benefit though is when it is used as a desk reference. the way it is organized is perfect for quickly finding the right facts, especially when it is strategically highlighted.

Question: Beautiful conclusion to this series.

I was skeptical when this series first began, but as a long time fan of the author, I decided to try her YA series. Not only is this series different from most YA novels (for one example to that, the romance is not a present love story, but a past one. The main character Emma already lost her love) it brings a lot of solid issues about life to the table.

In Grave, Emma and her friends (and I still love the fact Michael is included!) are preparing for their next step in the fight against the Queen of the Dead. Allison's brother is lying in a hospital fighting for his life, and that strain, that fear of loss, is not ignored. Michelle Sagara is an expert at making her character's feel real with emotions.
Chase hates Emma throughout most of the series, not seeing her for who she is, but merely what she is. Something that can be applied in many different aspects of life.
Emma's still dealing with the loss of Nathan, and the fact he's not completely lost to her both because of her gift, and because of the Queen's power.
We get more of a back story on the Queen - who she was, and why she suddenly became what she did, and how she and Eric are connected.
The conclusion is bittersweet. Without adding in spoilers, the conclusion allows everyone some measure of peace, but it's not the picture perfect (or story perfect) peace some readers might seek. It's realistic feeling, it still involves losses, but there are silver linings through out.
Again, I wasn't certain I'd like this series - most YA books are not my cup of tea. But this series is, and I greatly enjoyed following it through to the conclusion.

Scale wasn't exact. When weighing a 5 gr weight to check accuracy it came up as 4.7... Sometimes it would read 4.6, 4.4, 4.9, but mostly 4.7... It was on a completely even surface and had an exact 5 gram weight...

Question: Super Health, Super Book!

I was familiar with author KC Craichy from his first book, " Super Health, the 7 golden keys". My initial concern was that the Super Health Diet would be a rehash of the original book. While some of the original content is present, the new book has so much more information. Our family has a history of diabetes and dementia and we strive to do all we can to eat healthy and limit big pharma drugs. Surprisingly, these 2 diseases, along with many others, are covered in The Super Health Diet. The authors wholistic approach to disease prevention is timely. And, yes, it is also a diet as in weight loss. Unlike pure weight loss books, this diet book takes that uses a complete regimen of nutrition, sleep,, stress reduction, proper hydration, super foods, super antioxidants and so much more to create a healthy plan. I didn't think it would be possible to build significantly on his very good previous book, but Mr. Craichy has done it. If your family or any loved one, neighbor, co-worker , etc is not living with optimal health, buy them this book!!!

Question: Love the star wars wallpaper and theme

Pros - tablet is android, interfaces with google apps and accounts.  Love the star wars wallpaper and theme, sturdy tablet for kids.

Cons - Tablet is very slow, frequently freezes and requires to be rebooted. Pre-loaded apps very tough/impossible to remove. Confusing integration between kids and parent modes.  They used a proprietary cord connection vs standard android (so none of our phone/tablet chargers work on this)

Bottom line, the ultimate judge is my 4 year old (who can use our samsung tablet with ease) does not like it at all.  I really cant blame her because its way less than what I expected it to be.

Nine Inch Nails has always been my favorite band since the beginning and I've always been a David Bowie fan.  I love this album and I have always wanted this on CD.  I've listened to this everyday since I got it and I think the sound quality is pretty good.  Hurt is by far one of the best tracks.

Question: efficient usb charging, 4 usable a/c outlets, bulky size is a bonus for me

this worked very well. my techy boyfriend is happy with the charging from the usb ports for his samsung s5 and galaxy tab. with the bulky size of most a/c plugs today, the pivoting outlets are a great concept. i really didn't want any extra outlets as to not overload the circuit in my RV, but for convenience since we do not always have something connected to the inserted plugs i opted to buy this because it's nice to be able to leave the 2 usb & 2 a/c cords that we use all the time actually plugged in all the time (mac air & surface,) and then to be able to briefly plug in the printer or vacuum cleaner when necessary- without having to remove the other plugs to do so. it's in plain sight and i do not find it obtrusive- yes, it is bulky sticking 2 1/8" from the wall, but that was an added bonus for me because i can place my iPod speaker in it's cradle right on top of this while it's charging!

Question: it was exposed to rain and worked beautifully.

This works well, but I had it in my head that this would do what I dialed every time I needed to use it without ever having to touch it again. My brain didn't connect the fact that this is not a timer that repeats after the first time you dial it. I had wanted something that would repeat due to the outlet needed for my bug zapper was behind an old vehicle we have stored in our garage. I was trying to avoid climbing up and over the vehicle to get to the outlet. Unfortunately, I still had to do that so I had to move the bug zapper to another location. This is not the fault of the timer, but my own. For its purpose, this timer does what it says it does in the description and does it well. I am telling my story so someone else can be informed too. It's a well made product and once I moved the timer and zapper, it was exposed to rain and worked beautifully.

Well made, good quality, and durable, very nice design with a black cocker spaniel embroidered on the front of the crown. Nice little zip pocket on the side of the crown to hold money/coins or a key or whatever. Adjustable to get right fit.

Question: Even the most rational men are in many respects highly irrational

This very revealing book exposes Popper's vision on man, science, philosophy and his (wrong) solution of the body-mind problem.
For Popper, there are three different worlds: a physical one, a spiritual one and an objective one (autonomous products of the human mind, like books or mathematics.)

Body-mind problem
Popper is a dualist, a body/mind man. But, like Descartes, he was confronted with the problem of the interaction between physical and mental states. For Descartes, this interaction took place in the pineal gland; for Popper, in the speech centre of the brain.
Hereupon, W. Van Orman Quine asked pertinently: `Why introduce man's mind, since it is simpler and more convenient to say that only physical things and states exist? The bodily states are there anyway, why add the others?'
Popper rejected fiercely physicalism.

Rationality
Popper doesn't assert that man is rational. On the contrary, it is obvious for him that even the most rational of men are in many respects highly irrational. Rationality is simply a critical attitude towards problems, the readiness to learn from our mistakes.

Comments on other philosophers
For Berkeley, the world doesn't exist except in our minds. The material world is a kind of a dream (?).
For Wittgenstein, truth is a picture. A statement is true if it is a true picture of the facts. But (for Popper) a statement is only in a metaphorical sense a picture.
For M. Schlick, correspondence with the facts (=truth) is a kind of mathematical one-to-one correspondence. But (for Popper) to one fact may correspond many true descriptions.
Phenomenology tries to interpret physical things as bundles of sense data (phenomena). In other words, it tries to reduce physical things to mind.

This book is a must read for all those who are interested in what really exists in the real world we live in.

Fits a bit small,bought for the winter ahead so not sure how material will hold up yet.great price and cute look.

First, let me say I'm confused why this is book 1 of the slaver wars. It occurs after "Alien Contact", which is claimed to be book 2. I read Alien Contact first, which I thought was excellent, and then this book, and that seems the natural (and chronological) way to read them. Maybe the author intends to set the state with Moon Wreck, and Alien Contact is a "flash back" to answer all the questions raised in this one, but I prefer the order I read the books in.

This book isn't as entertaining as Alien Contact. For one, the drama is much less intense. Alien Contact has space battles and the unknowns in meeting (and trying to kill) a new race. This book's drama is centered around the personal issues of a couple characters, one really missing his wife and son, and the other trying to appease his rather domineering sister (which like another reviewer said, seems more like a husband/wife relationship). I also think the writing level seemed somewhat childish, probably because of the repetitive nature some of the writing (yes, we get it, his sister is going to be mad, again).

Still, the story isn't bad, and it does set the stage for the better book, Alien Contact. If you just read this one and decided to give up on the series, I recommend reading Alien Contact before you quit. The writing is more adult, the conflicts more realistic, the drama more intense, and it has a few surprises. Still, there are occasions where the writing can seem a bit childish (like an adult chastising himself for having bad thoughts. I stopped doing that long, long ago.) but it's still pretty good writing.

Question: Work great and are 1/8th the price

I've printed a ton with these replacement cartridges and they work great.  At 1/8th the cost of the Dell version these are a no brainer.

We've only tried one package out of this bucket a beef stroganoff just to see how preparation and the flavor was. Preparation couldn't be easier, add boiling water, wait a bit then eat. we got two decent sized servings out of the pouch and were satisfactorily filled and the flavor was surprisingly good. The rest of the bucket is in going into our hurricane supplies.

Question: Asics are my favorite shoe after getting into competitive running.

I love them. They fit perfectly. The only gripe I have is that the shoe laces are kind of wirey, but I'm just going to put a different pair in. Asics have taken over as my number one training shoe over the past year. I got these shoes for weight training and speed and agility training. These shoes feel similar to my 33's that I purchased a while ago.

The 33 series has the right comfort and support that I need for long distance runs without being too heavy. I'm waiting for the next pair of Gel-Nerve 33's to go on sale. Those are my favorite. I also bought the Fuji-Trainer 2's. We shall see how those go.

I am on my feet all day.  These shoes are very comfortable for that.  This is my third pair of Grasshoppers.  They are as close to comfortable as you can get without actually wearing athletic shoes. They do not have much (if any) arch support, but they do have a cushiony bottom.  It help with fatigue.

Question: Durable, simple, and works great

These are at every end of our hoses and really good for spot watering... or even doing deep tree watering.  They put out a lot of water for such a little thing and are easily moved around.  We often line up a hose in a line... start the water and then every 30 minutes or so, go out and simply tug on the hose to slide the head into the next position.  Heavy enough to stay in place too.

Just received my cook book and it looks great.  Only disappointment is that as the author is British,  I had hoped  the ingredients would be in grams or ounces and not converted to the ridiculous US cup system!

Question: It's far superior, and uses the same exact style of play

This is our second Family Pastimes game. If you are going to go for one, then buy Rodeo Round-Up. It's far superior, and uses the same exact style of play. In fact, I even found myself asking why we bought this one as it's really the same as Rodeo Round-Up. Rodeo Round-Up, however, has the advantage of coming with an actual physical hard board, while the board in this game is comprised of 12 flimsy pieces. Of course, this is to allow you to create your own path for play, but there is just too much variability in terms of pieces -- lots of pieces, all flimsy, can be easily lost. I can't imagine us picking this board game to play again, when we have Rodeo Round-Up, which is just better overall.

Does the job.  Cloth is thick and feels sturdy.  I expect it will last.

Question: Give this author a try, you will not be disappointed!

This was written by one of my co workers. So when I heard the book got published I had to pick up a copy. It was a fantastic read! Fast paced, great for 13 yr olds and up. I really hope he makes a sequel.

The book confirms for me what I have long suspected.  It is succinct, clear and thought-provoking. It shreds the ideology that says "We are not racist" rather well.  Red it, share it with others, send it as a gift, give your public library a copy, etc.  You know.

Question: Very good choice for the novice.

My very first purchase of a 3D printer was a BCN3D Sigma which we purchased at work.  We spent a couple of week ironing out all of the defects associated with it just to get a print to complete without clogging the nozzles.

So when I decided to purchase one for my personal use at home, no way was I going to buy one of those, especially at $2500 and potentially go through that again, so after some research, I decided on the FF Creator Pro, with the knowledge if I purchased through Amazon and didn't like it, I could easily return it.

Well, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  Out of the box, it worked just like it was supposed to.  I printed in both ABS and PLA with no deposition issues at all, so I am giving it a 4 star for that reason.

The 1st reason I am not giving it a 5 star rating is the bed.  I would have preferred a glass bed.  The current bed with the sticker applied work really well for ABS but not so much for PLA.  I have found that I need to put down blue painters tape on top of the pad in order to get PLA to stick without a raft.  Just a glass surface gives you so many other options like kapton tape and that is not possible on top of the pad.

The 2nd reason is the software provided with the card.  it is slic3r and for the life of me I could not get it to print properly, maybe I just didn't get it, but I went to 3Duniverse and followed their instructions and it wanted to print off the table.  Maybe it was meant for an older version.  I ended up buying Simplify3D and man what a good software package.  I was also able to use Matterhacker Control, it was just way more difficult to configure a job.

so overall, I am very please with this printer, I would have loved to give it a 5 start, but .........

Question: I LOVE these curtains

I had vertical blinds on the window prior to the curtains.  I LOVE these curtains.  They do a much better job darkening the room.  I like the mineral green as they nicely matched other things in the room.  Here are a few things potential purchasers should know:

1) plan to iron the heck out of them before you hang them.  I was hoping to have the wrinkles steam out with steamer, but ended up having to do the work.

2) I purchased a 1" rod and it was a little narrow for the grommet.  You could easily go up to 1.25 or maybe even 1.5" rod.

3) I ended up having to purchase two sets for one patio sized window.  This was mostly because I was reminded that the rod has a support in the center.  I needed to place a panel on each side of the support panel.  Two of these "patio sized" curtains are awesome and give you a lot of extra coverage and depth for this size window.

I paid for Friendly Forest Reading Club but I never received it.  Instead I received an incorrect item. I notified the vendor sevral times about the mistake, but never received a response!

We are using them for a kids' clinic we started informally.  Using a trained high school instructor to implement the LTA's program.
Biggest problem is that adults are not used to seeing them and think kids should be using regular balls.  We are trying to explain the new philsophy to the adults so they will support what we are doing.

It is ok. The chain, in my opinion, is way to thick for the dainty circle it is supporting. I am not a huge fan, but may find use for it. It did get here ahead of expected date which is why I gave it 3 stars.

This is an old school classic I had but someone had stolen off of me so i had to get it back glad that I found it on Amazon.

Question: Beautiful flattering vintage shirtwaist dress! -looks better ON...

The dress is full skirted enough that it still looks vintage without the full slip beneath... the only negative us that the little bow-tie was sewn too far to one side as its supposed to hide the top center button...But because the button IS there there's really no way to center the bowtie.... I took it off and the dress is actually a little more comfortable and still looks great! I love a nice shirtwaist dress (emphasizes the bodice - makes waist appear smaller and hides a plump bottom)!  Fun dress alot of compliments!

Ryan Farish is enormously talented, and his album "Beautiful" is his finest work to date.  The album surpasses our expectations, and have made us put our Yanni CDs away.

Question: Even better than the movie

Even better than the movie, but I would love to see a Kindle Illustrated edition just like the one for The Lost Symbol. Being able to double tap on images within the book was so much more engaging than having to close the book, open up wikipedia, and search for images every time a piece of art etc was mentioned.

I'm really impressed. I'm not usually much on the big tome books. This one is almost 1400 pages, which weighs in at 5 pounds on my bathroom scale. That being said, the text is really tight, the illustrations are cropped, not overwhelming in number, and are used effectively. And the book on the whole does not pander to the reader. The topics are also covered at a reasonable depth.

The book is essentially three books, one on the compact framework, one on WinForms and one on database access, all in one book, in a well integrated form. And it works. If you need a book that is an end-to-end introduction to .NET on small devices, this is a great book to try.

Question: When i read this book its very touching :)

powerfull book is all i can say it just makes you have an automatic connection :)

I have purchased and installed two of these fans. I was looking for a low-profile flush-mount fan, since our second floor ceilings are low (7'-6"?). I'm not a professional, but have installed several other ceiling fans and didn't have any real issues with these. Not sure what all the other install issues were, but if you follow the instructions it's very straightforward. I didn't have any wobbling issues, but I installed them with the flush-mount option to allow for maximum clearance below.

I have two relatively minor complaints. The remotes require you to have to push the button with just the right amount pressure for the light to respond. For this reason, I'm looking into installing wall switches which will work with the receiver already in the fan. Secondly, I wish it came with LED option, as the fluorescent is fairly dim and the color-rendering is pretty poor.

I hope this isn't discontinued, but just experiencing a manufacturing lull!

Pros: Low-profile, relatively inexpensive (on the right day), good looking, moves air!
Cons: Remote light button sensitive, has round fluorescent lamp (would prefer an LED)

Question: Cant even see the seeds so small buy a potted already growing plant.

Seeds were smaller than a grain of sand. I put them in a pot containing succulent potting mix and had zero germination.

Whoa!  First impression only here, but I was pretty excited to get this so I inflated it and hopped on it right away.  I'm a side sleeper, 6'2", 240 lbs, broad shouldered, possess a Kardasian booty and STILL was extremely comfortable on this.  I could not feel the ground on my shoulder or hip.  This thing is pretty impressive!  I've had some other mats (self inflating etc) but this one is certainly more comfortable.  Can't wait to use it in a couple of weeks for 4 days in the woods!  Will report back!

It's also much, much smaller than self-inflating mats and it did take me exactly 15 full breaths to fill it.  I'm thinking about buying one for everybody I know lol...

Question: Does not work with Air Compressor

Purchased this in order to be able to use a 12 Volt Air Compressor but is not able to even inflate a bicycle tire - disappointed.

I enjoyed this book very much and I hope that Leslie Glass will develop this character in a series and I love her name! I did not see much of a romance budding between Pete and Michael so the end didn't surprise me at all.  Two things did surprise me. I thought Max was surely part of the plot behind the investigation of the bank. And I was really surprised that the Portland police were so casual when Michael went to them with her evidence and they didn't act upon it.  I'm only giving this book 4 stars because I think the price is absurd for a paperback - $17.95 aren't we in a recession???  Apparently the publishing business isn't aware of that.  And the size of the book is ridiculous.  I do not read hardbacks because I do most of my reading in bed and they are difficult to hold.  This book is huge and I won't buy another one of this size.  What on earth were they thinking?  And why $17.95? - Even Amazon's price is high.  What is it with these publishers?  I love Leslie Glass' work but there are other things to read that I like just as well that aren't huge and overpriced and I'll buy those instead.  I'll bet I'm not the only one who feels this way.

But a very GOOD book for beginners!  Would have appreciated a bit more "flexibility" as far as portions go, with "built-in" conversions instead of constantly having to figure the difference between 5-6-8-10-quart sizes, but NO pressure cooker guide really does that well, so it's not a deal-breaker!

What a pain in the arse!  On every level these were unacceptable.  Couldn't transport to freezer without making a mess, couldn't release cubes easily (or at all) and couldn't stack to save room.  I've returned and purchased others that work perfectly for me.

Question: A Psychological Thriller from a Different Point of View

In this psychological thriller the author explores the mind of a very troubled young man (the main character) who is dealing with extreme depression, nightmares and thoughts of suicide. For me, this is not my usual type of book and I did not enjoy the foul language and bad behavior of the main character (especially in the first few chapters) but, as I continued reading, I quickly discovered why the main character acted as he did and soon found myself wondering what was going to happen next. With a few unexpected twists and turns, this story turned out to be quite good; a psychological thriller like Ive never read before.

Dan has given us what Sargant,Homer,Benson, Sorolla et. al. never did.  He has let us in on his creative process in detail.  He is a master of analogy as it applies to art creation and explanation.

Question: A closer look at life's end

Dr. Gawande can certainly write well and despite his proclamations that the words don't flow easily, in this volume he's certainly done a fine job. Credit also to his editor(s) for what must have been a difficult culling job to get to the essentials. The book is a meditation on life at the intersection of medicine and mortality. While the subject matter deals with American medical practices there is no doubt of the applicability of the suggestions and ideas presented to medical practices anywhere in the world.

In the Mahabharata, king Yudhisthira is quizzed by a celestial being about what the greatest wonder is. He answers that it is the fact that man thinks he will live forever even though he sees death all around him. Death comes in various forms and Dr. Gawande has highlighted how death itself has assumed more modern forms with the advent of better medical technology. And the advances in medicine have made woman even more blind to her mortality. To the extent that people put mere survival over everything else to their own psychological detriment.

Dr. Gawande has made many interesting observations and the anecdotes are on the mark. This is certainly a book for everyone - no one is immune from death. And it is better to think about how one's life will look at its end with one's facilities intact than impaired and decide its relevance for oneself rather than hand over control to technology.

I have given this device as gifts for a long time. I bought these to put on either side of the front seat of my brand new car, but should buy them for the back seats as well, in case anyone ever sits there (unlikely, but you never know). No vehicle should be without at least 2 of these. Solid and effective -a life-saving device. May I never have to use them.

This stuff is super cool! Make sure to put enough coats on AND let them dry in between application, and a FULL 24 hours before painting. Light sanding helps with the texture. Make sure to seal your work after too!

After finally finding video & watching, I installed screen. Seemed like an excellent method & instalation was relatively easy... until I laid glass down on pad. There was a speck of dust (just like in video). I pulled the screen up and tried to clean it, easy, right? Not so. It got worse. After 15min, 3 more attempts, I gave up. Anker says it will take care of itself in 24hrs, it didnt. Its not terrible but I have 3 bothersome dime sized spots that aren't going away. I know people who have worse, but I wanted better?

Chapter 2: You know they are good when they do something that is not required.  Anker is replacing glass & I'm sure it will be good.  They are also attacking the problem of invisible dust.  Maybe should provide Utube address (hard to find video) & note that the little dusting exercise is very important.

Question: I liked the story as well as the characters

I liked the story as well as the characters. It is written in an engaging way and kept me intrigued. I wanted to see  how they will over come obstacles in their way. I think it portrays a very realistic picture of Tudor England. It was a good romantic short story.
When Lady Annabelle is ordered to court she is very unhappy. She did not want to marry yet another man who would not love her for herself. She wanted courtship and romance but her family had other plans. and there was nothing she could do about it. Rafe is ordered to escort her to the court. A hardened soldier, he should not care about the lady in question but she was the only woman who ever touched his heart. Both were unable to resist the pull towards each other. They knew it was treason, they knew Henry can very well kill them both but they did not give it a second thought before running away together. Because any life where they were together was better than the life they would be forced to live. Now the question is whether they would be able to cross their king and live to tell the tale or not?
It is an engaging tale of love. Although a short novel, it is still able to reflect the feelings and actions of all the characters in a way which will make it a worthwhile read. I'll recommend it to all readers, whether you like historical romance or not, I am sure you'll like this one.

First of all, the switch itself works flawlessly. Zero complaints there. BUT......I'm VEEEEERY dissatisfied with the lack of a schemitic and their  technical assistance. Spent two hours total over three phone calls. Ended up with some "prima donna" at Mars. He had quite the good time teasing and belittling me over the lack of a "formal education" and I'm the kind of person "that keeps him in business", and it's hard for "someone with his level of knowledge to convey thought's to someone like me". After arguing the definition of a coil versus a solenoid for several minutes with this piece of work, I realized he COULDN'T answer my question. One quick call to my HVAC cousin and it was functional. Oh and by the way, my question to all their tech people was "does the solenoid (or coil) portion of this unit ground through the chassis or do I have to ground it through one of the four different connectors on the side"? How simple is that to answer? Oh and the answer is you DO need to run one of the terminals on the solinoid to "Neutral" for the switch to work.

Question: Excellent, concise travel guide

As indicated in his book, the author does not try to pack anything and everything into his travel guide.  Rather, he tries to winnow things out and focus on the important highlights of a particular country.  That is why this book was so appealing to me.  Other books are like heavy tomes that contain more facts and information than you need and are not likely to remember.  I think Rick Steve's cuts to the chase.  My only criticism of his book is that I found the restaurants he recommended to be uneven.  Some of the restaurants were good and others were simply average at best.  I felt that his other recommendations as to sights, entertainment and accomodations were very good.
If you have never been to Spain or Portugal before, I would highly recommend this book.  If, however, you have been to Spain before or plan to spend several days in just a few cities, you should consider another travel guide that contains more detail.

Question: The suit itself is super cute.

First of all, the suit is adorable and it seems to be pretty good quality.  I am 5'4 and 130 lbs usually wear a size 8 to 10 and the XL is tight on me, I really wish they would have had an XXL.  If you have a long torso, forget it.  If you are busty, definitely forget it.  I am a c and if I decide to keep this suit, the underwire is going to get cut out.  The main reason I am debating a return is because I am concerned about how difficult it may be to get it off once it is wet because of the snug fit.

I've worn the standard open toe Teva sandals for years now, but when I bought my latest pair, I decided to get a pair of these as well since I'd heard friends rave about them.  They fit tight, so I suggest ordering a half to full size up.  They are very well made and I can certainly see why so many people like them, the materials and workmanship seem top notch.  Unfortunately for me, I just couldn't deal with the close toe part of these.  I was really hoping to like them as I have stubbed my toes before when hiking or walking through a stream, but I just couldn't get there...having so much material around my bare toes was not comfortable to me.  It felt like wearing regular shoes with no socks, which is something I can't stand either.  My foot feels like it is going to get all sweaty right away and stay that way...no thanks.  I'm sure the next time I stub my toe, I will be wishing that I were wearing these, but the other 99% of the time I would be wishing I weren't.

Question: Pretty good LCD replacement

Pretty good LCD replacement.  The home button sits a little low when attached to the assembly but otherwise everything else is great.

Beautiful tablecloth, great colors, easy to mix and match with tableware and linens.  Should be perfect for the Christmas table.

Question: Awesome, durable case

Awesome, durable case! I got this for my son, it withstands quite a bit of roughness, although he is for the most part very careful with his phone.

When I received Under the Orange Moon from Adrienne, I had no idea what to expect. All I knew is that there was a character named Dylan, which is my favorite name (my son's), so of course I agreed to give it a try. Let me just say, I am really glad I did.

Under the Orange Moon was a sweet surprise of family fun, childhood romance and real-life drama in a well-written and capitivating package. Now, most of you know that I am the sexy, bad boy, hard core one of our trio. Surprisingly, the lack of "steam" in this book mostly went unnoticed. There are a few scenes between Dylan and Ben that captured my attention, but the story was so well delivered that the steam just wasn't necessary.

Under the Orange Moon is mostly the story of Dylan Mathews and how her feelings grew from those of a 4 year old girl to a twenty-something woman who has loved one man her entire life, Ben McKenna. The best friend of her twin brother Jonah, Ben was a near constant person in her life growing up. Ben comes from a very disfuctional family and would escape to the Mathews' house that was full of love, support and kindness. As they grew older, part of that escape included sneaking into Dylan's room to cuddle and sleep as part of his way to find peace. What I loved about Dylan was that she was strong and independent all while not being rude or disrespectful to her parents or brothers.

The main part of Dylan and Ben's story starts when Ben comes home for holiday break from Law School. Its been a few years since they have been around each other for any extended period of time and emotions and actions run high and to the extreme. Dylan is ready to explore what could be but Ben is hesitant, judging all relationships by that of his parents.

Adrienne weaves us through the self-descovery of both Dylan and Ben and the impact their relationship has on the remaining Mathews' family. When tragedy strikes, their relationship is seriously put to the test.

I encourage anyone looking for a new author or deciding on their next read to consider Under the Orange Moon. I can honestly tell you that you will be pleasantly surprised. I look forward to reading more stories from Adrienne and think she will have great success!

Question: Another great Harry Bosch novel

Connelly continues the excellent Harry Bosch series.

I read this because I hoped to improve my writing but instead I learned to look at literature in a way I had forgotten. Dissecting the imagery and symbols in literature helps us see beyond the surface into something deeper. This appreciation is what allows to connect to a piece written 100 years before our existence. The universal cultural knowledge we share serves us well in this same aspect. Read Long Books and Prosper!

Question: I really like my speaker

I really like my speaker, its just a little bigger than I wanted.  The sound is great and it is easy to use.

I liked how well my smartphone fit in the holder & the elastic just provided extra protection with a firm grip tightly in place.able to adjust the angle up or down or left or right was a plus.

Question: Tasty, refreshing, simple

This stuff is amazing - I get it all the time and love it. It's way better for you than regular soda and has made normal soft drinks taste overwhelmingly sweet. It's light, refreshing and awesome to drink when it's warm (and even when it's not!).

Fit as expected and overnight delivery. I will order more in the future. Much easier than scouring the racks at my local big box store.

Question: very pleased with tomtom 540tm

I purchased the Tomtom 540TM for my husband who travels frequently for work. Since he has to visit customers and make cold calls, I felt like the lifetime maps and traffic option would benefit him. We used the GPS on a recent road trip and I saw the benefits of the traffic feature first-hand. The unit would warn us when there was traffic ahead of us and provide us with an option of rerouting to avoid the congestion. From previous reviews, it appears that the traffic feature only works when the unit is plugged in, so that is how we/he have/has been using it. We're very pleased with this GPS. It is easy to use and program, screen is large, and we like the countdown feature (distance remaining, estimated time of arrival, etc). At this time we have no complaints.

I have had a couple of other keyboards and have always had issues with the keyboard keeping up with my typing. The easel giving out over time that holds my monitor and of course the price of these keyboards for the 12.9 iPadPro version can be steep. HOWEVER, I have to say that this keyboard has really met my expectations. The "case" for the iPad fits nice and Snugg, pun intended, lol. The keyboard keeps up with my typing nicely. The on and off switch on the deck area helps with remembering to shut this off although I haven't fully charged this and it's working perfectly. The BONUS for me was the side port that holds my iPad Pen!!! I find this a great value for the money. I did settle for the blue version as the Black was out of stock but do not regret the purchase!!

Question: Light, Compact and Study

Awesome!! I bought it as a stand for my Flash and it works great!. Very compact and stylist. Highly recommended!!

I loved "Maids of Misfortune" and was thrilled when the second book came out, i had been eagerly anticipating it.  I enjoyed this book as much as, if not more, than the first book of the series. It had a great pace and it was fun to get to know the characters better,  The author is very good about staying within the period and social mannerism, biases and knowledge of the time.  As a native to the CA bay area I also really enjoy the details imaging San Francisco in the 1870s and the references to San Jose as The Valley of Heart's delight.  The author's knowledge of San Francisco landmarks for the period is wonderful and it adds an extra fun depth to the book as a local.

Vincent Spann is a writer who knows how to capture the attention of his readers.  This book was inspiring, heartbreaking, captivating and very real in some instances.  I really enjoyed reading it (which I completed in one night).  It kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen next.  I shared it with my niece and a week later we talked about the outcome of the story which was beautifully written in poetry.  Vincent Spann, you have been given a wonderful talent.  Please continue to use what God gave only to you because your work is unique! I really hope that others will read this story.  I will pass the word on!

Question: Order a size up, fits like a glove looks amazing.

Like everyone says its euro so order a size up so it fits over your sweater or work clothes etc... I'm 5'8 145lbs and wear a 14 1/2 dress shirt, the medium fits me like a glove. Wont protect against everything but damn so far I'm crazy about it, especially for the price.

This review refers to the Advance Reader's Edition. The book about DogTown is not intended to be a training manual although those of us who have read the book have garnered ideas on how to care of minor problems our dogs may have and most important when to have a professional take care of any other malady that surfaces.

These canines and their stories have already been seen on the National Geographic Channel, and this book is a welcome companion to those shows. We not only get to know the canines in the book but also their caregivers: Though some of the stories are heartbreaking others serve as reminders that there are too many abandoned canines all over the country--especially in the current economy. Those of us who can, are adopting heretofore abandoned dogs and are sending in monetary donations as well.  Part of the value of this book about DogTown is that it reminds us that if we don't help these caregivers financially and as volunteers who will?

Question: Best Sound in a Small System - Audio Heaven

Reading the many positive reviews prompted me to order a Refurbished unit. There are several features on this sound system that were NOT taken into account by those submitting negative reviews. 1)RECEPTION.  2)AUX Input.  3)TONE controls
  RECEPTION depends on many factors. If you put this in a basement, inside a metal room  or 100 miles from civilization..... you will NOT get good reception. ANSWER: Use the provided antenna jack with an external antenna and this radio WILL amaze you!!!!
  AUX.INPUT turns this unit into a top quality speaker for more than just an iPod. Output your laptop into this for amazing sound. Output your portable CD player. Output ANY earphone jack and hear amazing sound!
  TONE CONTROL: Few reviews mentioned the BASS and TREBLE settings. These are ACTIVE controls, meaning boost AND cut like many car stereos. I'm still geeking-out over the amount of bass this small unit puts out. Great bass at low volume is SO rare.
  It is true that this can be a clock radio to wake up to, but I consider this too good for that 5-min-a-day purpose. This unit deserves a place on my desk, taken to work with me..... used for it's best feature: playing all my favorite sounds with clear and amazing fidelity. It's a great radio too!

Excellent for the price. Very versatile design. For a very light GoPro, this is perfect. Anything much heavier will collapse the telescopic segments, though it seems useable with heavier cameras if it is collapsed down to just a few of the fattest segments.

Question: Fortunately, I had to wear a strapless bra which ...

The pants are really heavy and the elastic waist is very flimsy so the pants were falling down all night. Fortunately, I had to wear a strapless bra which went down to my waist. I had to safety pin the pants to my bra. I think I will stick to costume dresses in the future.

I love the scarf, it is very good quality and great price, but this scarf is meant to be tied around the HIPS not the waist!! I am a size 10 and this scarf ties well around my hip but leaves a rather big gap so the fit doesn't look like the picture at all. I think you have to be a size 6 to have that fit. That said, it looks awesome and makes good noise as you move :)

Question: A Physical and Emotional Life Changer

This book is a physical, mental, and social life saver. I have been struggling with acne since I was 16 (I'm now 21) and as each year has past by, I have noticed continuing decreased levels of confidence in myself and have reached the point of frustration to try ANYTHING (even Urine Therapy). If your thinking about buying this book, you probably have tried various options that claim to get rid of acne for good. Ive been on antibiotics, epiduo, tretinoin, and have used over the counter products like Acnefree, skin idea, and whatever else claims to end acne "in 3 days". While the products at times did show improvement, they never gave me satisfactory results and often lead to my skin drying up or turning read. I was also sick and tired of forking out money and depending on a product that took time and effort out of my day and really did nothing.
I never considered my diet as a cause of my acne. I did notice at times that after I ate chocolate I would break out faster, so I stopped eating candy and soda. Still, I was a heavy milk drinker, rarely ate fruits and vegetables, and usually got my nutrition from processed foods. After finding this book everything has changed.

Though this book is an advanced and bland read, it was easy for me since I have experience with research articles and that style of writing. For those of you looking to skip straight to the diet, I recommend starting towards the middle of the book. The great thing is that unlike all of these products we have all tried and have failed on us, this book actually has scientific fact to back up it's claims, and let me tell you, I feel like a completely different person in just the first week of this life change. I have changed my whole approach to eating, am exercising more, getting needed sleep, and making sure to reduce my stress and live more in the moment. I hope this book changes your life as much as it has for me and we can all live healthier lives and say goodbye to acne for good!

Great Ghirardelli chocolate treats! My DaD loved this for his birthday this year!

Question: This series has grown on me

This is the 3rd book of the Raven Boys Cycle. I believe the 4th one is the final book, though it won't be out for another year at the time of writing this.

I really like this series-- it has definitely grown on me more and more. I think I would definitely re-read all the books before reading the final. This series is very different and as such it is hard to remember and to predict things.

As for this being the 3rd book out of four or more I think the book did its job in that the characters grew on me more and I want to read more to find more about them.

Screen is unresponsive and stops working for five minutes at a stretch.
Has large number of pop up ads which are extremely annoying. More than 1/3 of the home page is taken up by Samsung ads and I haven't found out how to get rid of them.  When I go on the Internet Samsung tab pops up. Navigating  on the Internet is cumbersome. System is very similar to the IPad tabs which I hate. In addition, the first tab which I never requested, is a Samsung ad. But the most serious problem is the erratic touch screen which becomes unresponsive and requires the tablet to be turned on and off several times. I really want to like this tablet. Maybe I'll be able to solve the ad problem, but screen unresponsiveness is a serious problem.

It looks like it will be a simple toy piano, but it is more complicated.  Not what I was looking for.  Returned it.

Question: Haters gonna hate lovers gonna love

Haters gonna hate lovers gonna love :) Gosh I just read some critical reviews on here and Id have to disagree. I love the book! I've been practicing for just over a year so I'm experienced but not overly experienced. I love the personality in her writing and the colorful pictures. I also like how it gives the long hard to pronounce names along with the English names throughout the book.

We thought this player was just great for about two weeks. Since then, it freezes about once every movie we play, and we cannot get it to work again except by shutting it off and on. Occasionally, even that has not worked, and it refuses to stop freezing. I was too lazy to do anything about it until now (almost 10 months later); I'll probably have to buy a new player because it just freezes too much now, and I don't think I'll be able to get the company to do anything.

Ordered this with great expectations. The pros: The bag was the perfect size. Lots of items were able to fit in, including my laptop in sleeve. perfect bag for traveling. Had to return it because the handle was not sewn properly and was fraying where it should have been stitched. Also, the handle was completely not sewn in several places. Surprised there was not better quality control on such an expensive product. This is quality you would expect on a $20 bag.

I wouldn't recommend it for older kids who've already had some more advanced tricks. However this is absolutely perfect for a beginner.

Question: Am i listening to the same cd?

After an adequate if a little bland debut album, i expected and anticipated great things from Lifehouse. Although second albums are known to be difficult, i beleived the band to have promise. How wrong was I.
There is not a single song on here that lives up to the standard of any of those on 'No Name Face'. Its all highly irritating, mediocre and thoughroughly tuneless. I have a very varied taste in music and I do know a melody when it comes my way, but there is no melody on this album worth writing about.
I write this to stop others making the same mistake I did, and if you like Lifehouse because of 'No Name Face', trust me stay away from this so you still have some love for the band.
Switchfoot, Vertical Horizon, Jimmy Eat World even the Calling(whose album I also think suffers from having only one good song on it but is still better than this drivel) are in a class of their own when compared to Lifehouse im afraid. Spend your money and time elsewhere.

I have worn and loved maidenform t-back bras most of my adult life.  This bra digs into my breasts at the lower outside edge.  The top portion is so wide that it barely crosses my nipples, creating a great look, while standing up straight and holding still.  Unfortunately, I prefer comfort and support that keeps my nips covered.  I will be sending these back.

Question: a bad and stupid korean movie

with lousy screenplay, direction and poor performance. it tried so hard to mix two genres together but the portions and ingredients were all wrong, ended up ridiculous and stupid. not worth mentioning here.

I was assigned to read this as a textbook for my film class and wow, this book gets down to every little technical detail you could think of when it comes to making movies. This is definitely an invaluabe resource for anyone who's interested in making narrative, documentary, experimental, or corporate movies with a video or film camera(s).
The book explains the differences between the multitude of film systems from super 8 to 35mm, it goes into detail about how the camera works, discusses how to take care of your equipment and why, and goes all the way up to funding and distributing your movie. There are nine appendices which includes charts and calculations on how to adjust certain aspects of the camera/lens/etc. to get the certain look you want. So if you're on a set and need to adjust something on (or inside) the camera but are unsure of the calculations, it's just quick flip of the book to the appendix to find what you need.
The book also deals with the scientific features of filmmaking so anyone can get a better idea of how the various aspects of filmmaking work and which way of doing things is best for the filmmakers particular needs.
A few problems arise however. The technical jargon can be overwhelming sometimes and may require you to reread a paragraph several times in order to get a clear understanding of what the author is talking about. The fact that there's no glossary doesn't help that problem either. My biggest gripe however is the lack of coverage on digital filmmaking. The book is outdated and lacks the information needed for people wishing to make movies with DV cameras. Despite those problems, I still HIGHLY reccomend this book to anyone wishing to make films.

Question: It appears to be a good product. I have to work on learning how ...

It appears to be a good product.  I have to work on learning how to use the markers I have with it but so far it is working well.

This two volume-set is just perfect, and would make a great gift (although it was a gift to myself ;~) ).

I actually had not particularly wanted these cookbooks, and then I read My Life in France, which is Julia's memoir (and, really, a love story - her love for her husband Paul, his love for her, their love of France, their love of food, her love of cooking, her love of teaching..etc., etc.).

As Julie explains in her memoir, there are some real differences between volumes 1 and 2.  Volume one is all about how to create basic (and not-so-basic) French cooking.  It is very precise, and particular.  These are *not* slapdash "30 minutes or less" recipes.  These are methodic, and detailed.  There's a reason that "Mastering" is in the title.

They are also classic recipes that, once you master a few, will become your staples.

In fact, the the second reason that I ordered these is because one of my boyfriend's specialties is Julia's chocolate mousse (he made it for me on our second date!), and his family always has the beef bourguignon for their Christmas Eve dinner (he made a vegetarian version just for me!)

The second volume includes a great deal on baking that the first volume doesn't (it's also was compiled after one of the three collaborators on the first volume left -  Julia explains all about it in her memoir).

These are NOT cookbooks for the first-time cook.  They are for home cooks who want to take the time and effort to replicate true French cooking, or for cookbookphiles who enjoy reading cookbooks. :~)  The cookbook collection of someone in either category is not complete without this set. :~)
