Question: Absolutely Incredible...

I have never written a comment on this or any other post before, but I can't resist saying something about this book.  That being said, I can't find the words to express how amazing "Sometimes a Great Notion" is.  It's dense, it takes dedication but I've just finished it for the second time and I have to say, it is worth every minute.  The characters are so real and so fully drawn, that the reader (this reader anyway) feels what they feel, sees what they see, smells what they smell.  The family politics are eerily familiar and fascinating.  Someone who commented on the book earlier in this post said that it was, in his humble opinion, one of the best works of literature of the 20th Century.  I can't agree more.  Do yourself a favor and read this book!

After hearing a cut from Rollins' new CD, "Full Circle," on Echoes (a world music program on PRI), I went to his webpage and listened to cuts from "Full Circle" and "Espirito."  Immediately the next day, I ordered both CDs and have been playing them ever since in my vehicle.  Love both CDs and my friends do too.  Will order Rollins' other two CDs in the next week.

Question: Also nice for addes warm cuddling

I have photo of my grandson in a frame but in a different hat. The hat was too large for tiny newborn. So maybe for older baby. The sack is soft and high quality fit over a regular baby sack or against skin. Buy this cutie oufit for fall baby and put pumpkin or fall items in a photo shoot. Also nice for addes warm cuddling.

All 4 of my dogs have one if these blankets. When you wash them the hair comes right off (not like the fleece blankets that are a nightmare to clean).

Question: Wise and gentle guides

Carolyn Myss, a leading voice in the field of energy medicine and human consciousness says, "We are living in an extraordinary age where our individual and collective trauma is woven with transformation."
"Transforming Trauma" is a powerful seven step CD program by Myss and James Finley, a psychologist and retreat leader who once lived and studied in a monastery with Thomas Merton. Myss says the healing of humankind's trauma must move from the psychological to the mystical. Our trauma is now global. Every species and all the elements of the earth are involved with the transformation. Although trauma shatters our survival instinct it is also the gateway to wholeness and transformation. We can go backwards, remain in the pain or transcend it. We must start trusting our inner world over our outer world. When trauma shatters our soul compass therapy alone cannot heal the spirit as transformation is not a journey of the mind but of the soul. Our survival compass needs to be re-aligned with our body, mind, heart and soul. We are all traumatized and need to see our trauma though sacred eyes. To separate our personal and impersonal trauma. Life is what it is. We need to do what we can, stay detached and move from a survival compass to a soul compass. The survival compass asks "What's wrong?" the soul compass knows what's right. We know we'll get through it. The first is born out of fear and makes up a story the second serenity and mystery. The survival compass is personal and goes back in time asking, "What, when and how," the soul compass is impersonal and goes inside the soul. The first uses their body's gut instinct the second intuition born out of inner stillness. It's walking between what is true and truth.
James Finley teaches us the practice of meditation, prayer, contemplation and compassionate love and living by following the path of the mystics in a seven step healing process. His teachings include - avoiding the seduction of escapism, "disidentification" with the ego self,  freedom from the tyranny of suffering, protecting ourself from re-traumatization, how to transcend suffering in the midst of pain and to see the root of suffering is estrangement from the spiritual experience.
Myss and Finley's are wise and gentle mystical guides to healing trauma.

It's a lovely little book that I purchased as a birthday gift for a new grandmother and she was delighted!

We have 2 rescue dogs one tends toward being nervous and suffers from separation anxiety. I plug in the Comfort Zone just before putting them in the kennels for the the day and both seem to be happier, more relaxed pups.

First off - great company. I'm an idiot and had the package sent to my old address. I wrote to the company, and got a nice email back within 15 min telling me they reached out to save it!! Just got here, and laid on my laundry room floor in under an hour. Buy these - you won't regret it. I had no problem matching them up, as in other reviews...

Question: Is it just me, or is this Goonies revisted?

First of all, I've just got to say it, this was a huge Goonies rip off.  Now, I'm not saying this is a bad book, and I think she even makes a reference to the movie at one point, but really, it was Goonies.  The kids are all going to have to move away from each other and they have a chance to save their homes by finding a pirate treasure.

And while we're on the subject, Tory is just a bitch.  She believes that because she thinks it should be done it doesn't matter how it gets done and everyone should follow suit and do it with her.  Legal or not.  She believes everyone should just bow down to her whims, she lies to her friends, acts like a spoiled brat to her father and uses anyone she sees fit.  She has absolutely no respect for anyone but herself.  She's constantly rewarded for her crappy behavior and attitude.  When it comes to female heroines she's the absolute worst.

It's obvious that Kathy Reichs doesn't normally write for teens.  She's toned down the science talk.  Enough that you're not lost in technical information, but not so much that she's saying 'readers are dumb' which is nice.  But she doesn't quite have a grasp on how 14 year-olds operate.  They're all sort of caricatures of teenagers.

With all that being said, Seizure is a good book.  It's exciting and suspenseful with that bit of adventure thrown in for those who want a little more bite with their YA reads.

HOLY BALLS!!! this was a awesome book. I do believe that Kendall did it again with the KBF crew. The birthday club was the best idea ever. I so cannot wait to find out what's up with Jullian, and the crew again. I feel that Kate needs to have a comeback!

LONG LIVE THE ROCK!!

Just what I expected, and our three-year-old loves it. We take the top off and fill it with water since we don't have a pool for her yet. She likes splashing around in that with her toys. I like the subdued color of the set. Delivery was perfect, no issues. We're all happy we chose this one.

Just the right size for children of all ages to handle and for me, as a photographer, to position for a great pic!

Question: Second book and this series is going strong!

4.5

Chained by Night takes up a couple of months after the end events in Bound by Night. Hunter is preparing for his mating to ShadowSpawn's heir Rasha, something he's not looking forward to at all. Regardless of his feelings he plans to honor the agreement. The only catch, if there is a child born between Rasha and Hunter, that first born will have to be given up to a demon as stipulated upon the creation of the first generation vampires. It is something Hunter cannot even contemplate. In order to avoid this "tradition" Hunter will have to go through and pass a series of tests that few have even tried. In order to survive the tests he'll have to place his trust in one of the ShadowSpawn twins. Hunter already knows Rasha cannot be trusted. Upon seeing Aylin for the first time he's drawn to her, but still he doesn't know how much he can trust her.

Aylin has always been the second born twin. It doesn't help matters that she was born disfigured. She dreams of being free from vampire politics, especially those of her father. She won't let go of her dreams. Aylin is accompanying her sister Rasha to MoonBound to attend to her before the mating ceremony. After that Aylin is supposed to be sent to NightShade to become another mate to their clan leader. It's not what she wants by any means, but she's resigned to her fate, and she keeps dreaming for better. She's attracted to Hunter the moment she sets eyes on him. Seeing that he's to be mated to her sister (who's strong and whole), Aylin knows that nothing can come of her attraction. When Aylin volunteers to accompany Hunter on his tests, it'll bring the two closer than they ever thought.

I thought Chained by Night better expanded the world that started in Bound by Night. I loved being immersed in just the vampire world and learning more about clan dynamics. Larissa Ione set this book up perfectly at the end of Bound by Night so there wasn't too much surprising in that regard. What was surprising was the character development, specifically with the secondary characters. We already know that Aylin has had a rough life but despite all of that she remains kind. It was more her sister Rasha that drew my attention. She's known as a cold-hearted tough warrior and she hasn't exactly been treating her twin too well all these years either. But surprisingly there are moments where we see that she does, indeed, in her own way care for Aylin. It's just been drilled into her head for so long that Aylin is deformed and is at the bottom of the totem pole, so to speak, that she's beneath Rasha's attention and I think something Rasha would get caught up with being the first born and all the attention that brought her she kind of went with the crowd. This by no means excuses her actions towards her sister, but I thought it was interesting how Larissa Ione decided to play their relationship.

Things between Hunter and Aylin progress as expected, but I loved it anyway. There was enough forbidden love to satisfy me.

Chained by Night didn't end of the cliffhanger that Bound by Night did, but there are definitely new developments that will have to be dealt with in future books. Things between the humans and vampires took a back seat to set up the dynamics between the different clans. Larissa Ione also does a great job of setting up favorite characters who you want to read their story. I have a couple lined up that I would love to see get their own time in the spotlight, hopefully this comes to pass.

So far, with two books out, this series has been worth the read, and will more than likely be added to my auto-buy list.

I couldn't wait for this book. Love her writing, her characters, and how she tells us a story. Keep writing and I will keep reading.

Question: Not like WDW waffles at all

Newly returned from my first visit to WDW (Port Orleans French Quarter), I had a hankering for waffles similar to the ones that they make there.  I bought the Villaware maker, since the pictures looked quite similar.  However, the shape on the product I received is nowhere near as deep as the pictures show, and the middle is thicker, so the result is more like a Mickey-head shaped pancake - the texture is nothing like a nice *crisp* waffle.

Unfortunately, the figurines colors aren't as detailed as pictured. I could have found something at Toys R' Us for half the cost. This one was a huge miss for my wife.

Question: The Mastermind wore a disguise?

This was my first Baldacci book, and I have to say that I would have to have my arm twisted to read another. To me, it was very amateurish, both in the plot as well as the writing itself. I stayed with it until the bitter end...just for kicks and giggles. If this is any indication, I was twenty pages to the end, and chose not to take it to the beach to finish. After returning two weeks later, I picked it up this morning to finish. When the mastermind of the conspriracy was revealed as someone who fooled the "Camel Club" with a shaky disguise, I actually laughed out loud.

It is difficult to make fiction realistic, but I would hope that an author who has reached the level that Mr. Baldacci has apparently achieved would have mastered that. That's what supposedly separates them from the pack. Not the case here, though. I would have rated this an excellent book, had it been a first-out-of-the-gate for a fifteen-year-old novice. Trite at best, and if Mr. Baldacci's goal was to insult the reader by hiding the mastermind behind a cheesy disguise, well then I guess he succeeded in at least that much.

I only read about 60 pct of the book because a lot of pages (or at least text) was missing - blank pages all over.  What I read reminded me a lot of early Lee Child.  The hero is Reacher-like, and the chief crook is smart and evil.  Has anybody else experienced missing pages?  It has happened twice to me in over 150 downloads.

Question: Review without Spoiler

This is a science fiction film set and filmed in Scotland loosely based of the novel with the same name by Michel Faber.  The story gives you an alien's perspecive (played by Scarlett Johansson) who is preying on men while wearing a costume (shell) that makes her appear human.  The cinemaphotography is interesting and of course Scotland is beautiful.  The only thing I wasn't thrilled with was the ending, as I was rooting for the alien over the lorrie driver, but I will leave it at that, as not to spoil the story.

Better build quality than previous versions  Needs to have a little bit more range and trackpad sensitivity for five stars

Question: I recently did a kitchen remodel and bought this to ...

I recently did a kitchen remodel and bought this to replace a 50 year old vent hood which was limping on its last legs.  Although I did not install it myself, the carpenters who repainted the cabinets seemed to not have too much difficulty placing it into the space.  It is definitely a two-man job as the unit is quite heavy.  The three speeds offered by the fan is powerful enough to clear the kitchen of smoke and odors.  I don't think I have even used the highest speed yet as I tend not to torch my meals.  The light bulbs are halogen and tend to get extremely hot when used on high.  They offer plenty of light though it is not advisable to touch them until after they are off for a while.  I can actually feel the heat they give off when I am working with food on the cooktop.  When I walk away, I put the setting on low to save energy and keep the heat down.

Easy to install with the included screws.  They should mention the included screws in the description, since I didn't know that they were taped behind the cardboard wrap.  Provides a lot of room, but because it sticks out so much, make sure you place it in a way that doesn't block access to the pantry.

Question: Slow writing speed for music; gets very hot very quickly

This memory stick is small, which I wanted for using in the USB port in my car stereo.  I had been through two other flash drives that both were broken because they stick out too far from the car dash console, and get bumped by things like my purse which I put on the floor in front of it the console.  This PNY flash drive is so small that only the black part and about 1/4" of the silver stick out, so there is minimal chance of it getting bumped, which has worked out well so far.

I bought the 16GB because my previous sticks were 8GB and I barely had enough room for all of the music I wanted to put on.  However, I have found that the writing speed is slowwww on this device.  If I drag & drop more than one album to be written onto the drive at a time, the related windows open on my computer screen freeze and it takes probably 5 minutes for those two albums to catch up and for the windows to unfreeze.  I will note that unrelated windows, such as an internet browser, do not freeze.

Unfortunately, due to the freezing window issue, I cannot always tell when the albums have finished being copied to the device, because I have to walk away and do other things while this process is occurring.  As I've been listening in the car, I've realized that some of the albums did not get copied in their entirety - some of them only have the first 5 or 6 songs, and are missing everything after that.  So now I've had to take the stick back inside to the computer and go through it album by album to find the songs that are missing.

When I pulled the stick out take it inside to do this album check, I had taken a 15 minute drive to pick up my daughter from school.  The drive was so hot, I could not hold it in the palm of my hand!  I had to hold it by the black plastic end just to carry it into the house.  I've never had a USB drive get that hot in such a short amount of time.

Once the songs that were missing were added, I've not had a problem.  Other than when I add more than one new album, I have to take it much slower than I'm used to and double check that all the songs make it on.

One time when I charged it and pressed a button to see if it had fully charged the the display was blank.  I could not get the device to turn on.  After researching this issue on the web I see that it is a common problem.  Had I known this I probably would not have gotten the unit.  I called SanDisk and returned it for a replacement.  So far the replacement has worked fine.  So, if I am travelling somewhere I'll have to take a backup music device just in case this one won't power up.

When it does work it works well enough.  The interface is easy to use and the clip seems sufficiently robust that it doesn't look like it will snap off soon.

Question: Please say no to me. I love that.

Florida author Leslie Wolfe has assumed the role of the feminine counterpart to the Tom Clancy, Lee Child, Ian Fleming set, proving that indeed women can equal if not surpass the established norm of espionage techno-thrillers. One of the many reasons Leslie makes her novels work is her creation of strong female roles  something her male counterparts have found it difficult to do. Another couple of pluses in her corner are her penetrating interest in both psychology and technology  both of which she employs to fine use in this thriller.

Having read Leslies other books, DAWN GIRL whets the appetite for brilliant thriller writing. She simply does not miss a beat from the opening overture to the finale. For example, how many authors can push as much energy into the first paragraphs as this? She made an effort to open her eyes, compelling her heavy eyelids to obey. She swallowed hard, her throat raw and dry, as she urged the wave of nausea to subside. Dizzy and confused, she struggled to gain awareness. Where was she? She felt numb and shaky, unable to move, as if awakening from a deep sleep or a coma. She tried to move her arms, but couldnt. Something kept her immobilized, but didn't hurt her. Or maybe she couldn't feel the pain, not anymore. Her eyes started to adjust to the darkness, enough to distinguish the man moving quietly in the room. His silhouette flooded her foggy brain with a wave of memories. She gasped, feeling her throat constrict and burning tears rolling down her swollen cheeks. You sense the tension  but read the entire book in a short period of time to maximize the effect.

The PR release sums up the story well: The book introduces the bold, direct, and short-fused FBI Special Agent Tess Winnett in a white-knuckled race to catch a serial killer and rescue his latest victim. FBI Special Agent Tess Winnett  searches for answers relentlessly. With each step, each new finding, she uncovers unsettling facts leading to a single possible conclusion:  Dawn Girl is not the only victim. Her killer has killed before. Hiding a terrible secret of her own, Special Agent  Tess Winnett  faces her inmost fears, in a heart-stopping race to catch a killer whos getting ready to end yet another life. Will she find the killer in time? Will she be able to stop him? At what cost? The rules of the game have changed.
So has the textbook definition of a serial killer.

Every book grows and Leslies reputation in the literary world continues to climb. Why? Because she just happens to be that good. All other serial killer thrillers fade in the presence of this fine new DAWN GIRL. Grady Harp, September 16

I never wanted to splurge on a good pair of sunglasses for myself but I am so glad I did.  Love these.

I have these out by my pool equipment and supplies.  I use level 2 so there is some light as I approach the area, then it brightens as it senses my motions.  I moved the equipment to the back of the yard when we remodeled because even less noisy equipment still makes noise.  It's dark back there when I want to use my spa and need to change the setup.  These do the job!  There are trees all around so it only gets direct sunlight for an hour or so.  But this is Arizona, so even ambient light is plenty powerful.

Question: This lamp works pretty well. It has a USB port which I ...

This lamp works pretty well.  It has a USB port which I really don't need but others may find useful.  It bends and stays in place very well.  My issues are that the price is probably more than I needed to pay and it is really not quite bright enough for my needs.. even when on the highest setting.  It does have various type of lighting settings that some may also find useful, but in a lamp that is so small it really doesn't make that much of a difference in my opinion.

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

Question: Absolutely incredible!  We love it.

This projector was a great addition to our home theater.  The picture quality and the features were great for this price point.  I would definitely recommend this product!!

It works well but if he's really excited we have to keep turning the settings up but it works still.

Question: Great Value and good as OEM from my experience

These work just as well as OEM and I reused them many times over... just vaccuum them out regularly with the full size vaccuum cleaner every once in a while

quality seems OK but very, very poor installation instructions. Youtube videos helped somewhat, but many areas of concern were hidden or not addressed at all.

Love the girly look of this case as well as the sturdiness. It is soft pink and durable, I would recommend this for a great value for the price.

I found it got in my way. I also found I could attach the small bags individually. So I'm getting a lot of use out of it.

Question: Good Purchase, Reasonably Easy Install, Would Buy Again

These took about an hour per side for me to install and I was able to do it without removing all the trim like some people on YouTube suggest.  Overall, the fit and finish is exactly what I would expect from a stock Toyota part.  I was a bit unhappy with how the upper, triangular, trim part of the mirror was just held in place with some double-sided adhesive, but then when I saw that Toyota had done the same thing, I calmed down a bit.

Road noise (when not extended) seems about comparable with the stock units even though these are a bit wider.  This style of mirrors do have a wicked blind spot if you don't use the lower mirrors correctly, but that is true of any wider-mirrors.  All told, I would gladly buy these again.

Works just as the ad says, very happy, will recommend to friends.

Question: Great for my glass-breaking wife!

I have had several double wall glasses but they are fragil and my wife is clumsy (admittadly-so). i wanted to have an insulated cup for her for beer or even hot drinks that she feels comfortable using while she is cooking in the kitchen. No chance of breaking this glass! Plus it looks very nice.
Bottom line: no breakage and cold beer stays cold!
Only deducted one star for price, pretty expensive but worth it since I am only buying one.

The product has been working very well.  Phone has fallen a couple times, but, no worries.  Still like new.

Takes a special appreciation of humor that's a little raw.  There are a few classic shows this season that will have you laughing silly.  The one with the food critic and the one with the black rock star that takes Larry to the dentist to get a hair out of his throat.  Still laughing.

The conditions and era  in which this new doctor worked were challenging, to say the least.  His humility and willingness to accept the help of experienced assistants--even those with little formal training--were admirable, as was his dedication to this practice.  Thank God, doctors are no longer  sent out  to "practice" with so little practical training.

Question: While U7 is not as good as ST but still has very good audio quality ...

I replaced Xonar Essence ST with this U7 to free up a two motherboard slots. If you are an audiophile and looking for headphone amp, I suggest you look for something that is more delicate. I bought U7 mainly for my Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1. For headphones, I use different USB DAC. While U7 is not as good as ST but still has very good audio quality through the Klipsch speakers. SQ is a little bit dull, not as full and musical but for the price, I am very satisfied. There isn't many choice if you are looking for an external sound card that is capable of 24bit/192khz output. U7 is one of the few.

-If you plug a mass storage device into the USB and there are more than 500 tracks stored on it, it won't read past the 500'th track.  In other words, if you have 1,000 tracks stored it will read tracks 001 through 500, but ignores the rest.

-At the start of each track, it cuts off the first second or two.

If the above quirks don't bother you, than this is a decent player otherwise.

Question: Perfect for young pre-teen

I felt my 12 yr old didn't require a crazy expensive smart phone just yet, but an easy to work phone that could still text and call.
This is perfect!!  I actually ended up buying two of these, as the first one lasted a week before she accidently smashed the screen in the car door.  Whoops!!  MAN am I glad I didn't start her off with an expensive gadget right off the bat.  Yet the phone is a good size for her, and easy to add minutes too, we chose to replace it!  It's been 8 months now and the phone is still going strong!  Also you can't beat verizon coverage when she is travelling between mine and her father's homes.

I've read other books from this author that I enjoyed much more. This was not my favorite.
I love Christmas stories and appreciated that this was different but it just didn't speak to me.
This book is definately PG-13, which I'm ok with but I felt like it didn't add to the plot at all, in fact, for me it distracted.
The overall plot was decent, a bit predictable but I like that. The characters were quirky and enjoyable.
I wouldn't highly recommend it, but if someone is interested I wouldn't discourage it either.

Question: Save your money for a better quality adapter.

I'm sure this adapter works with certain devices however, it did not work on any of my devices that I needed it for.  I was planning to use it with my laptop (Alienware 17) in order to hook up to an older projector. I purchased this and a more expensive adapter ( Cable Matters Active Female Adapter ) at the same time.  The more expensive adapter works perfectly, even without external power hooked up.  I would imagine that this adapter does not have much in the way of electronics inside it, if any, and probably is a direct pin to pin from the HDMI connector to the VGA port based on the weight of the unit. I returned the adapter and am glad that I got the other one instead. Personally, I would save your money and use it towards an adapter that will work for any HDMI device.

Just to add to the clamor, the sound is crap. Still, there are those of us who will still buy it.
There's a sucker born every minute, I believe it has been said. Sigh.

Question: Great design & great product for the price

I purchased the set a few months ago and love it. I bought it b/c a friend had left a spoon at our house (different brand but same exact style -- Hampton Bistro), and I loved the shape and feel of that spoon. However, the Hampton Silversmiths flatware is no longer being made, and my options were the new Hampton Stainless Bistro 18/0 or this forged set.  I chose this set and am very happy with this purchase.

About the set: I love the shape and weight and feel of this flatware (it is fairly heavy but well balanced). Spoons don't bend when you scoop ice cream. I bought 3 sets and expect to use this flatware for a lifetime.

My only complaint is that a couple of the edges weren't brushed as smooth as I would have liked. But, for the price point, this is a minor issue and I still think the set is worth every penny and then some.

And one other thing to note, for those who might care about this: The spoon will remain piping hot for a while after you pull it out of a hot bowl of soup (it doesn't cool down as fast as a thinner, cheaper spoon would).

Very small so you can put it anywhere in the house.does what it says it does. Is very easy to read and understand.it looks like its expensive but it's very affordable. Would buy again.

Question: A nice final(?) gift to music lovers

These are new versions of old songs but it isn't a "beat of" rehash. Several sounds very different from the originals, and that's not a bad thing at all. While the originals were excellent (you already knew that) these stand up very well on their own. The arrangements allow Glens voice to shine, and it has taken on a richer tone. If you like Glen Campbell you will love this. If you aren't a big fan listen to the samples at least; I think you just might become one.

This is the best time of all to read this book, since the very last Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus show is scheduled for May 7, 2017. And anytime anyone wants to know more about the circus world would do well to dip into the history in this book, even centuries down the road. I found the historic tidbits fascinating in this unique part-history, part-poetry volume, and the poems capture the excitement and poignancy of the whole traveling menagerie phenomenon.

Question: VITAPUR DISPENSER  REVIEW/ POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE

This was a big disappointment.  I did some research on this dispenser and everything was positive.  When my husband tried to install the Vitapur
it never worked for us.  In fact, it did not dispense the water after we followed the instructions carefully.

We called the manufacturer and was told to try the vinegar treatment once again and called them back the next day.  Well, nothing worked after we
tried the procedure again.. They decided to send us a new one.

So far, it seems to work fine.  Little tip for the future,,it was packaged double and maybe this might help with this kind of dispenser.  The manufacturer believe the original dispenser may have been broken in travel to us.

I wasn't impressed at all. When it arrived it had a strong petroleum smell and even after washing, it didn't completely dissipate. The metal is also very thin and flexed too much when turning the valve. It wouldn't have been long before that thing would have been leaking. I ended up sending it back and will keep looking.

Question: I think it works but I don't like the smell of lavender in this product

My husband loves the smell of this but I think it stinks so bad! I cant stand the lavender smell on this even though I love the smell of lavender. Especially when it mixes with the faint smell of urine, oh my Lord. Once in a while our Chihuahua puppy accidentally misses her pad near the edge and gets it on the carpet or rug and thats what we use this for. Once it dries up you cant smell the lavender urine smell at all.

Bought for my husband.  He wasn't impressed....he had better results with good old elbow grease. (Scrubbing with a regular brush or towel.  Personally, I love it!  Great for the bathroom shower and sinks.

Question: Probe wire at probe entry wore out too quickly.

I use a Traeger Smoker/BBQ so the temperature is very controlled with no flare ups.  Everything worked great for the first month and then it stopped working.  The cause appears to be fraying of the wire where it enters the probe.  The Traeger has large slots in the back so you do not close the cover on the wire.  Now I have to buy a replacement probe.

Bought this brand new,it is junk. It never started my atv however when I put a different older one in it starts right up. They sell you a brand new shiny defective part what a waste of money,they should test these parts.

Question: Not food for obligate carnivores, ie your ferrets!

This would get ZERO stars.
First off read the list of ingredients. Very important!
Second I bought my little Sophia from petco as a marshall's ferret who of course was imprinted and being fed this garbage. After a year she ended up with intestinal blockage...from this bloody food! That was a $1000 surgery to save her precious life and it was one hell of a recovery afterwards. After that incident, I started doing my research on ferrets and nutrition. Ferrets don't have a cecum so all that garbage of corn meal, beet pulp is a big no.
Ferrets imprint on their food from young. Marshall ferrets are imprinted on this garbage.
Do yourself a huge favour and switch to high quality cat food or ferret food asap. Sophia is now on orijen cat/kitten food where the first 15 ingredients is meat/protein source! She loves it!!!! I also give her an entire egg yolk to eat (acts like ferret lax).

I have bought several of these in the last few years and never had a problem. Unfortunately the latest order I received (two months ago) smelled and tasted moldy. I didn't notice it at first and now apparently it's too late to return it because I bought it more than a month ago. I will be buying this product elsewhere going forward.

She was a real person to me.
Mark.  Oh Mark.  He's a real keeper.  Where do you find a man like him?  His love for Cadence is so enormous.  She's one very lucky girl.
I feel that $0.99 for Ms. Walden's book is unreasonable.  Charge $4 and give Ms. Walden the extra $3.01 and I'd think it's fair.  I've read some lousy books by authors undeservingly charging more than its worth.

Question: A nicely entertaining urban fantasy noir

Richard K. Knaak was first introduced to me during my early days as a fantasy fan with the 1988 novel, The Legend of Huma. I didn't get to red it until I was about ten (1990) but in my limited experience, it was probably the best of the Dragonlance novels. When I re-read it in college, my opinion was cemented and if you ever wanted to read the Dragonlance saga then I recommend the two main trilogies as well as it. Later, I would enjoy Richard K. Knaak's World of Warcraft novels which ranged from the cheesy fun at worst to the really-really entertaining. So, I was intrigued by the possibility of him doing his own urban fantasy novel set in 1930s Chicago. So what did I think? Quite good.

 Nick Medea is a occult detective, which is nothing new to the genre, but one who is very well realized. I can't reveal much about this story since a major part of the book's appeal is the fact it's very cautious about revealing facts about its protagoonist. Despite being a first person novel, Nick is very guarded about his past and there's a "shrouded in myth" sort of attitude to the character which allows little bits to dribble down to the reader.

 By the end of the book, we get a full sense of who Nick was as well as how much his life has sucked for his unnaturally prolonged life and I give Richard K. Knaak credit--he managed to strike a very good balance between keeping me in suspense versus rewarding my patience. I don't know if he'll be able to do this in any sequels but I felt the major "mystery" of the novel wasn't any of Nick's cases but who he was. Nick Medea is much more Raymond Chandler than Sam Spade. He's a charming, reserved, and pleasant man versus the brutish thug variant of the P.I. Despite this, he's a figure who is bundled with an epic amount of Catholic guilt, appropriate for a saint. Aside from longevity and the ability to perceive the supernatural, Nick doesn't appear to have any special abilities. This increases the sense of danger when he's facing an endless variety of monsters.

 The world the author has created is a mixture of noir detective fiction with fairies and Christian mythology playing a big role. Interestingly, demons don't appear to exist or are important in the grand scheme of things. Instead, the primary supernatural threat appears to be the Fair Folk. Oberon, of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, is the big bad of this book and does a surprisingly good job of being terrifying despite his original role as a side character in a romantic comedy.

 Like all good noir protagonists, Nick has severe issues with one particular woman and I was intrigued by his particular curse. I've always been more partial to the femme fatale like Breathless Mahoney versus the good girls like Tess Trueheart. Still, the romantic interest of this book works quite well for her story. Her story is every bit as spoilerific as Nick Medea's so I'll avoid talking about it but it remained intriguing throughout.

 There's a lot of twists and turns with this novel and I definitely recommend it. I think the author could have done a bit more with the mundane side of Chicago during this time period but the atmosphere was still seedy and authentic.

9/10

This book took you into the pages from the very beginning. All characters had their own back stories that needed to be told so you would understand them in the intertwined story. Couldn't put it down.

I honestly didn't know too much about Julia Child aside from the few chance times I saw her on tv when my dad would have her on, or from the Julia & Julie movie depiction of her.  Offhand I had seen that SNL bit many times but never made the connection that it was her.  Julia Child, it seems, was a giant in life, one that I am happy to have learned more about.

The first bit of shocking news was that Julia was from a well to do family, in with the upper crust of society.  Not necessarily shocking, just unexpected.  I guess I should have assumed, it just never crossed my mind.  Her family was wealthy enough to move to Pasadena and live with the privileged society, joining exclusive clubs.  This of course lead directly to her being accepted into an Ivy league school, and again ultimately in to jobs that she didn't have to really try for because of her privileged background.  She was adrift, it seemed like, not really able to find something that tickled her fancy.  Enter WWII and the OSS.  Not necessarily because it tickled her fancy, but because it gave her more responsibility, more of a reason to grow and experience.

This of course was one of the biggest steps in her life, not necessarily because of being a career that she chose for herself, but because this was how she met the most important person in her life, Paul Child.  She was still adrift, of course, but she was able to experience it with someone until as chance would have it, she was in France amidst such great food.  The story from here everyone knows, but it is fascinating to see the struggle that she went through to become a great cook, to be accepted, and then to develop and build the book that would ultimately set her on a path to stardom.

Spitz does a fantastic job in bringing Child to life, in showing the person that she truly was.  I felt that I knew her, that if I saw her on the street I wouldn't feel ashamed to cross the street like a star struck fan, and that she would ultimately be happy to shake my hand and answer any questions I would have.  Spitz portrayed her as such a warm and inviting person, someone with a sense of humor that was off the cuff, not scripted.  This was where I had the most fun, reading others stories of the jokes and comments Julia would make.  More than once I found myself laughing and giggling at the things she would say.  Ultimately the only ever so slight downside to Spitz's bio is that he does seem to not only gush over Julia but most of the people that she interacted with.  He would recount family and friends talking about just about anyone in her life as though they were god's gift to Earth.  Such loving and gushing words, although may be how they want to remember them, certainly isn't realistic.  Spitz falls prey to this as well, although he admittedly states that he does have a crush on her, so as long as you go in to reading this bio with that in mind, than it is a bit more acceptable and believable.

All in all this is one of the more fascinating bios I've read this year.  Not only because of how Spitz wrote it, but in Child's life itself, one that was full and rich and one that I enjoyed reading about immensely.  A definite recommend.

5 stars.

I have just finished reading the last book in this series. All 3 books are a must read! Jennifer Joy has become my new favorite author. I have read more P & P variations than I can count and this series is by far my favorite.

Question: Strains Imposed By The Severity Of Medical Training Will Be Eased By This Work.

Any discussion as to the value of this splendid volume may well stress that it is in fact an atlas, one that has captured the wide ranging complexity of its subject through employment of a three dimensional emphasis upon human anatomical structure.  This revised edition, substantially improved from its 1996 predecessor, will reward attentive students and medical professionals by its numerically increased images, albeit of fewer structures, than were included in the original publication.  This should be the choice to be at hand as a visual guide to texts of clinical anatomy, each full colour illustration ending with traditional sequences that will assist in preventing ineffectual dissection.  Additionally, success in final examinations will be increased due to the depiction of extensive surface anatomy that will require students to identify subjects for presentations.  Although there are other fine publications of its type, this one should have far greater value than those for students because of its graphic work that throughout displays well rendered anterior, posterior, medial and lateral views of all subjects, with particularly valuable artwork of the pelvic region, a convoluted zone notable for being difficult to identify in detail.  Also of worth are cadaveric photos.  Author Olson, Professor of Anatomy and Structural Biology at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University has strengthened what has become the defending champion in its field with this superbly revised atlas that includes useful bibliographic references and an index.

This story's many plots has me emotionally stressed!  It delivers with a full arsenal of setbacks and victories alike!  There is just the right touch of zombie action that reminds you...things just got complicated...compartmentalize.

Question: The War of the Roses is one of my favorite historical periods.

One of the most complex, yet fascinating periods of History.  The War of the Roses in England delights fans of Historyl

Help! I have a vampire romance addiction! Just got done reading Demon of Mine and Wide Awake A Vampire Romance (Kindred Souls) in the same week. Which was really good also.
I loved this story! This was full blooded vampire set in an old-world era where women were women and men took charge.
I love how Damon's tortured soul is revealed slowly, peeling back layers of torment. He's a man who has always needed one woman, Elsie. His sights have always been set on her. You can feel the struggle and the conflict. And what more could you ask for of a damsel in distress than Elsie? Always in love with Damon, always dreaming of him, but beneath his station.
This story has conflict, drama, smoking hot love scenes, including one that has seared itself into my memory forever! The love scenes are sweet, bitter sweet and smokin'.

Question: Not the best choice for our trip

Not a great choice for our trip.  Made fan cooling noise that was annoying.  Kept overheating when electrical load applied.  Not good enough to support a hair dryer that my wife wanted to use.  Decided it would be better to just buy European hairdryer and just use a direct charging adapter for electronic charging.

Seemed like a used product from the scratches to poorly packaged box. Still was hoping it would do the job, but doesn't seem to be working at all. Should have trusted the star rating I suppose.

Question: The colors are bright and pretty and it doesn't seem to bleed on the paper ...

The colors are bright and pretty and it doesn't seem to bleed on the paper that I am using, which I like.

I absolutely love these pens!  I've been using them for years, but when I went to our local Super Target, they didn't have any (nor did they have a spot for them that was just empty), so I panicked and checked Amazon and ordered two packs!

These pens write absolutely fantastic- super smooth and consistent ink flow!  I've never used an expensive pen that I've loved half as much as these!  I love Bic, but this is by far my favorite Bic product!  Keep up the great work!

Question: Excellent variety of top-notch needlepoint designs

This book contains belt patterns to please everyone! The book delivers on what it promises - a wonderful variety of needlepoint belt designs. Scott's attention to detail makes it easy to create a wonderful belt. The charts are simple to follow and the directions are clear. Your final needlepoint product is only limited by your own imagination (and the resources at your local needlepoint store). I especially like to work with bargello patterns and to use interesting yarns; Scott's designs are perfect for my interests. The format of the book is a plus. The binder enables me to remove the chart I'm working on and take it with me and my work, which is convenient.

Ann Scott is know for her innovative designs and this book is terrific. I recommend it to anyone who needlepoints.

It is more quotes to color then pictures but my friend who is a nurse loved it!

Question: Does not bore you at all. This is JRPG!

This game gets the job done, a valiant effort and a great exclusive. Nice battles, music, graphics, etc. Get this game so we can have more JRPG's localized.

The history of the UK was interesting. The advances of transportation, the differences in each locale, and how each station master handles their own unique set of difficulties. I like the character development. It was a little long winded in spots, but these parts could be skimmed.

Seals but does not vacuum seal... Won't suck the air out... Tried 6 times

Quality product at a great price!  Shipping was quick.  The price was much more reasonable than buying from the company website.  In fact, it was the lowest of any I could find elsewhere.  It was easy to attached and worked perfectly the first time I turned on the vacuum.  I would definitely do business with this company again.

Dear, good evening!

I need to return the product I bought because it does not work, what is the procedure?

This phone won't keep the date and time. Also the battery keeps dying. It pretty much always has to be on the charger to work. They requested I send it back but that would leave me without a phone completely so I will use it as is until I can buy a new one.

Question: Colbert in print form, yay!

The follow-up to Colbert's seminal I Am America and So Can You, Colbert's newest book is even seminaler as he seeks to single-handedly solve all of America's problems which it doesn't actually have since it's perfect but you should buy the book anyway.

You have to wonder where he and his staff find the time to write all this and still pack his show with wit and satire. Maybe that's why they're only on four nights a week.

Colbert dishes out advice on health care, alternative energy, the gold standard, our justice system, fracking for kids and why you shouldn't read the library copy of his book. In 3-D! (Glasses included).

This is also one of the rare books I'll advise you to read in print; the illustrations and footnotes make ebook versions difficult to read and I understand the Kindle version had some serious problems.

I purchased this as a gift so had to be careful not to flatten the spine or bend the pages too much so I didn't actually read the thing but everything about it suggests it will be a fun, well-received gift.

Question: Its smaller than you think

I did not head the reviews and purchased what I thought would by my size based from the size chart. I would seriously recommend that you buy the next size larger. It would rate 4 stars except for this part. As a belt, I'm sure it functions well.

I received an early copy of this book for an honest review - I totally enjoyed it but it was too short! Loved that the "hero" was attracted to the "heroine's" brain . It took place in DC which makes me want to go there again - especially to revisit the Library of Congress -  Read it and you'll see why!

Question: BEYOND SUPERIOR to any Weber cover I've ever had or seen

BEYOND SUPERIOR to any Weber cover I've ever had or seen.  And it was considerably less expensive.  This cover is very sturdy and the material it's made of is noticeably "thick".  The zippers, although I don't use them because my side shelves don't fold down, are very high quality.  Can't recommend enough.  As a precaution, however, I will keep the grill out of direct sunlight when the cover is on. The sun is your worst enemy when it comes to BBQ covers.  I purchased this for my Weber Spirit, which I love by the way.

DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS COVER.

A lid would be nice maybe but a typical Correl diner plate does a decent job of that.  I like the shape and appearence more then any other I can remember.

Question: Making the Holocaust Real

Although this is not by any means a definitive look at the Holocaust, I found it the most effective presentation of its horrific effects on its victims (both direct and indirect).
It's amazing how well the comic book format works.  Rather than trivialize the Holocaust, it personalizes the impact of persecution and the camps.  I felt like I was drawn into the Spiegelman family.
While I'd recommend "Maus" to anyone, I think it would be particularly useful in providing students an understanding of what the Holocaust was like on a personal level.

Very good book.  Easy to understand and follow.  Footnotes back-up every idea in the book.  Find the proof you need to answer lots of questions in this book.

Question: ... some extra at the ankle if your kinda short like me.

They don't actually make you look slimmer and the material is somewhat see through but they do have the high waist and some extra at the ankle if your kinda short like me.

I'm sadly disappointed in underarmor for the quality and material being used.  Or perhaps it is the manufacturer sewing of ur products.  Something has definitely changed! I would shop at all your stores for our boys buy had to buy size13-14 for their dad.  He would go at keastba year before having to replace all his socks. This pack lasted only 1 month before all the elastic was coming out of sock like frays covering the whole bottom from heels to toes.  Grrr now which company should I buy from?

Question: Good output, just not for 2016 Titan XD

Quality is good, light output is decent, but being they are three sided means that they don't make good use of the reflector in my truck, if it was two or four sides of LED's they would be square for maximum light output. Unfortunately these are just off axis and greatly affects the throw standing away from the truck. Again, nice units, but not for this truck's reflector assembly.

Bigger than it looks - or that it needs to be.  Look at the secondary photos on the listing before you buy it.  Works fine, but definitely a socket hog.  Very limited utility.

Question: Good value But... Poor volume level

Received this in a timely manner from Tiger Direct thru Amazon.com... I liked the unit, it had all of the basic features that I needed but... after a 2 week trial I found that the volume just wasn't loud enough. With the windows open or the radio on at a comfortable volume, I just couldn't make out the audio instructions that the unit spouted, even at it's highest volume setting... Nice unit, but I returned it...

This system met all my expectations! The sound is clear & crisp! As well as, having the power in the loudness while still keeping the clarity! Love it ! The only con is wires !

Question: Runs more true to size for me

Very cute top! I thought I should size up but  I should have stuck with my medium. Pre baby I wear a small/medium, but I guess I thought these ran really small. It's a loose flowy top but the large was a little too loose for my liking, so will try to exchange. For reference, I am about 147 lb and 5'3". For me this top can easily be worn with skinny pants or leggings and it covers my bum. The nursing part looks super functional. I haven't found any other cute nursing tops like this at an affordable price.

bought a medium, and the shirts is just a tiny bit snugger than the average medium, it still fit well.

Question: 4"x5" - 24 page booklet intellectually full

The content of this little 4"x5" - 24 page booklet is intellectually full. The price spread across advertisers for this booklet is cause for question. This booklet from the Foundation for Critical Thinking was $3.50 but the shipping was almost $20 (no options). Valuable little reference tool packed full of good stuff for evaluating, analyzing, and problem solving situations and articles.

I should have read the reviews because one guy hit the nail on the head.  I didn't care for the layout, I prefer to look in M for Maryland and not have to figure out way area I need. Since large was in the title, I expected it to be large, 10x15. I was thinking of sending it back but postage and going to P.O. would cost almost as much.

Question: It is GREAT. Simple controls that are just perfect

I heard about this pedal from Nick "JustNick" Jaffe's review on Youtube and from a friend who bought one. It is GREAT. Simple controls that are just perfect. I hate complicated controls on a guitar pedal but this one is as easy as they come. The attack is set by a switch on the front and there are four dipswitches inside. I just left those alone and have the attack on Medium. The two knobs are Level and Blend. Level either boosts or cuts depending on where you have it. At 50% it's 1:1. Blend is a genius control as it shifts between dry and compressed. I find that about 40% Blend tames a bass with hot spots or the feedback from an archtop while still preserving the desirable pick dynamics There's no "pumping" in the tone, but it makes the notes feel like they go a little longer. If you turn the blend down to 0% it works as a clean boost. True bypass and it's built like a tank. I've been running it on the battery it shipped with for four months now, with regular multi-hour sessions and it's still going strong.

Got it for my grandson. Easy download. Bought it, have code to my grandson and he was up and running.

Question: Great mattress cover!

I'm very pleased with this mattress cover! It fits my pillow top king size mattress perfectly, is easy to care for, and easy to put on the mattress. I'm lucky that I haven't had to test out its ability to repel liquid, but based on the material I can tell that it would at the very least be better than nothing at all. My favorite thing is the cost. It is a comparable product to mattress covers that cost twice as much.

Bought this for a 3 night camping trip for my boyfriend who has back problems. He said it was really comfortable.

Question: A Book That Everyone Should Read

So, what drew me to The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker? Well, truth be told, I stumbled upon it, but the blurb ended with this intriguing sentence: Marvelous and compulsively readable, The Golem and the Jinni weaves strands of folk mythology, historical fiction, and magical fable into a wondrously inventive and unforgettable tale. It promised to have all the elements I love.

Wecker promised and delivered. The writing is lush, elegant and detailed. You can tell a lot of research went into not only the character creation, but the settings as well. Very few books inspire me to stop and reread sentences just because they are beautiful. This one did.

The characters are, to quote Shrek, like onions! They have layers and are complex. Little by little the layers are peeled back and yet you get the sense that youll never fully know or understand them. The story is unique. Sure there are tons of stories about Jinnis and it has been suggested that Mary Shelleys Frankenstein was influenced by stories of golems, but have the two ever met? The plot relies heavily on the secondary characters and each inciting incident is beautifully crafted even if the actions being portrayed are quite ugly.

I really wanted to give this book five stars, but to remain honest with myself and you Ill only give it four and a half. The story lagged for a bit during the middle. Once the action picked up it was difficult to put down. The reader withdraws from the story knowing at least a few of the characters continue moving forward, but one found herself changed by the Jinni more than the others and I yearn to know how she fared.

It seems silly to use the word clich in connection to The Golem and the Jinni, but its true that I didn't want my time with them to end, the best kind of clich. I highly recommend this book. In fact, I think its a book that everyone should read. The skillful writing alone makes it worthwhile.

Well written.  I appreciate his approach.  I have recommended it to some friends already.

Question: Good Story...A Few Details Inaccurate

As the ex-legal assistant for the labor relations lawyer responsible also for Walmart's growth, this is a great story of the background of Walmart as told in the first five or six chapters.  John Tate advised Sam Walton through the 90's, starting in 1972 when Walmart was nothing more than a small family chain in Arkansas and Texas.  Those first employees are millionaires today, thanks to John's idea to treat employees like "associates" and reward them accordingly with profit sharing and stock options.  It was only as Walmart grew, and the government got involved, that Walmart became such a huge abuser at times of its employees.  To John, the employees all the way down to the janitor were the company, and he believed in sharing the wealth - thus was his counsel to Sam.  That is the way to keep unions out of viable companies.  Stop paying the top brass as much, and let those profits filter down to the lower ranking employees so as to build loyalty, and tenure.

Which is what somehow seems to have gotten lost along the way.  Along with the "Buy American" focus Sam had.  He is gone - and it is really is no longer a family run business essentially.  Much the pity.  But it is the story of how you build a brand and a business and that part is what is so well told by Mr. Ortega.

By the way, John worked out of Lincoln, Nebraska and not Omaha.  Just a small correction there.

It is a very fanceful film,but fun. A film I enjoyed, I am well aware most of it did not happen. I dident care I wanted fun, and got it.

Question: Very Expensive for Quantity Received

Ok, good things aren't cheap; I grant you that.  As another reviewer pointed out, you get about 72 cups of coffee sweetened with one of these packs.  That is, if you can use 2 teaspoons or less.  The good news is this looks and tastes a lot like real sugar.  It seems somewhat sweeter than regular sugar, but it has 4.7 calories per teaspoon (as sugar has 15 calories).  I bite the bullet (no pun intended) and pay the extra coins as this stuff works for me (but only in coffee, it is too expensive for baking purposes).  I've tried other "fake" sweeteners, and they even look funny; they kind of sparkle and have a slightly weird texture if you feel them; this product LOOKS like real sugar, and it feels similar to real sugar.  The bottom line is how does this stuff actually taste in your coffee (assuming you are using it for coffee or tea), and is it better for you than regular sugar or the other products on the market.  (If you are only using a couple of teaspoons a day, probably it isn't going to harm you no matter what, maybe).  To me the real tiebreaker is the taste; I like this product as I think it tastes very close to sugar (and it looks, as  I have said, like sugar).  I hope I haven't been too long winded; it is hard to describe, gauge, and classify this product for me as I have some ambivalent feelings toward it.  Note that you need to buy at least three packs (or somehow spend at least 25 dollars) to avoid the shipping fees which would make this stuff outrageously expensive in my opinion. Update:  You can get around the shipping if you don't want to buy three of them at a time by being a member of Amazon Prime (which I currently am).  There is a fee for this privilege (I think it is around 75 dollars, but occasionally there are deals where you can join for a year for less), and Amazon Prime has other advantages (like movies).

Not Really,(Did not meet my Expectations) dose not seem to have the quality I'm use to.

Question: Some parts are made with cardboard like cheap materials

Received a damaged product and mold was growing the drawers inside with the first order. Amazon sent me a replacement but the new item just arrived has a large brownish stain on the top part. However, this product comes with California  Proposition 65 label warning that it contains toxic chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects. While the design is attractive, it is made with cardboard like cheap materials, some parts of the paints are peeling off. I would not recommend it if you are pregnant, have babies, children living in the house, or care about the toxic chemicals warning sign.
