Question: exactly as advertised

seems to work the same or better than the original did when new...great price and super fast shipping.

The president of the United Statesis missing.

At a ceremonial meeting in Amman, Jordan, four world leaders --- the President of the United States, Harrison Taylor; King Abdullah II of Jordan; Israeli Prime Minister Daniel Lavi; and President of the Palestinian Authority Salim Mansour --- have joined together for the signing
of a historic peace agreement. However, moments before the event even begins, powerfully armed and innumerable ISIS troops on foot and in the air wage a shocking attack against the Jordanian palace, the location of the ceremony, and all those gathered to witness it.

J. B. Collins, a correspondent for The New York Times, is there to report on the event, yet is caught in the carnage, as hooded ISIS foot soldiers, with pilots and their planes shooting heavy artillery, overrun the kings compound. Along with King Abdullah II, Collins helps to rescue the Palestinian President, the Israeli Prime Minister and the Kings family, and they drive furiously to the airport, where Secret Service agents have taken President Taylor.

But when they arrive, they discover that Jordans beautiful new airport terminal has been obliterated, along with many of the planes. Air Force One has disappeared. And there is no sign of President Taylor.

Thus begins THE FIRST HOSTAGE and a thrilling rollercoaster ride of a story. Collins is swept along from one explosive event to another. Denied publication of the Presidents disappearance by his editor (due to lack of evidence), the correspondent breaks the story on Twitter, 140 characters at a time. Although hed normally never publish a story without the approval of his editor, Collins feels that it is crucial for America to know that the President is missing. And the story explodes on the internet. With many of the worlds top reporters dead at the scene of the ISIS attack, Collins is one of the few who witnessed it and knows whats going onand is willing to tell the story from a Jordanian bunker, where hes taking refuge with King Abdullah II, his advisors and military leaders (who, by the way, also censor his reporting abilities, as they're desiring not to leak important evidence to ISIS).

During the search that ensues for President Taylor, the Jordanian and American militaries partner. Its almost certain that ISIS forces have taken the President. But where could they possibly be hiding him? The military leaders have their suspicions, but should they risk an attack on what might be the wrong location? To further complicate matters, they believe that a mole is feeding critical information to ISIS. And one suspect is Collins. Can the FBI, the CIA, his Mossad spy friend Yael and Collins himself track down the mole and prevent the sharing of more crucial data? Before this adventure is over, Collins will step outside of his role of observer and reporter into a terrifying world of hostages, special ops and rescue missions. Most importantly, though, can they find and free the President of the United States?

Join Collins and a fascinating cast of characters in Joel C. Rosenbergs latest incredible book. With an uncanny ability to evaluate current world events and create a story based on what might happen next, Rosenbergs thrillers are always impeccably crafted and compelling reads. THE FIRST HOSTAGE is the second in the J. B. Collins series, following the equally exciting events of THE THIRD TARGET. I recommend that you get your hands on both books and settle in for an enthralling reading experience.

Question: Great Abridgement and Illustrations for Young Ones

This is an excellent introduction to the Narnia books for very young children.  These are abridgements, so you're getting C.S. Lewis' writings, but not the full text. A lot of the original text is edited out and each of these books can be read loud in about 15 minutes or less. Each of these (there are 3 or 4 total and there's a hardback collection option) are geared to children who still need beautiful illustrations to capture their attention and need much shorter sittings that are more plot focused and less focused on verbal abstractions.  So, if you're buying for children in preschool or for young elementary aged children without as much of an attention span, this series is a great place to start with Narnia. It does that job excellently, but it's just a starting point. It's not a substitute for the real thing, so be sure to follow up when they're older with the original text. Also, be sure your children reread the originals at various stages of childhood and in early adulthood.  You get different things out the same book as you mature and The Chronicles of Narnia are the perfect series to experience that.

If your children are accustomed to being read aloud to regularly (at least 20 minute sittings while playing quietly) and or are strong independent readers (meaning excellent decoding skills, comprehension and vocabulary)  then go straight to the source and get the full original text by buying an unabridged copy.  An exception might be for older kids who are very visual and/or artistic.  Then go ahead and start with this series of illustrated abridgements first and then move to the original next.  You know your child better than anyone else, so do what works for you and your family.

After several months with this Rio, I haven't had any problems with it and I've been extremely pleased with my purchase.  I bought this right before the iPod Nano came out, and I've thought several times about replacing the Rio... but the Rio's performance hasn't given me any reason to replace it.  And the interface is much easier than the iPod products -- plugs right into my computer as a USB storage device.  I can copy music files right over, without having to rely on iTunes or similar program.

I especially like the expandability option -- additional SD card increased the storage capacity.

Although I had my doubts when I first purchased the Rio Forge, I haven't had any problems whatsoever and I'm completely satisfied with this product.

Question: I also had read the reviews and ignored the fact ...

I also had read the reviews and ignored the fact that most of them revealed that the crucifix was broken.  I suppose it didn't deter me from ordering it since it's rare which is quite unfortunate! Either way mine was also broken and I also always have my superglue handy.  Also I had wanted to hang it up on the wall in my living room so I expected it to have a hole in the back.  Oh well! It's still worth it!

This bowl is very similar to Falcon, an English company that is difficult or expensive to find in the US. This company is a nearly identical replacement. This bowl is holds 1.5 quarts. I thought it would be a larger size but it's more than adequate for mixing and is deeper than a Pyrex bowl I have of the same size. The bowl feels thin but seems to be of good quality. It cleans easily and doesn't stain.  I love that it's vintage inspired and inexpensive. I would love to order more from this company in the future.

EDIT June 2016: The bowl scratches very easily. I used a metal whisk to make meringue and the bottom of the bowl showed lots of scratch marks. The bowl is still in very good condition. The scratches are light but the bowl has not chipped or cracked anymore. Still a great deal, especially for an enamel piece.

Doesn't really froth, then it tipped over in the sink and shattered in a thousand bits. Cheaply made, does not work.

I gave this a 4 star because they are very tiny. I know the description showed the measurements but it just didn't really sound as small as they really are. If not for that it would have been 5. Moleskine is top of the line and it si of very high quality.

Question: Doesn't fit well on Hyundai Santa Fe

I have these on my Sport Trac and really like them. I suggested them for my wife's new Santa Fe. They weren't difficult to install and allow you to crack your windows during hot or rainy weather. However, the shield on the driver's window shifts when the window is down and when you try to raise the window, the glass hits the shield and it reverses itself. This is annoying and highly distracting - especially when you just left a toll booth and are trying to merge back into traffic. It just about takes two hands to raise the window back up - one to activate the button and another to reach into the 'trap' and push the shield back out so the glass can clear. All the other windows work fine - why is it the one that we use the most that acts up?

Update - I purchased some double-sided carpet tape, removed the driver's deflector, and applied the carpet tape to the outside edge of the plastic tab that goes inside the glass channel at the top and back of the door. After trimming excess tape, I pulled the other side of the carpet tape off, re-installed the deflector and rolled the window up. Left it up for 24 hours before trying to use the window. The glass still clicks as it goes up and make contact with the back of the deflector, but it no longer reverses upon contact. We've gone through the toll booth four times with no problems.

broke very quickly, quality not very good, the talking voice scared me. they were okay while they lasted

Question: Strangely captivating

Wow! This book was extremely odd and definitely not what I am used to reading, but it was strangely captivating. I couldn't put it down. The author keeps you guessing in this sort-of mystery. I laughed out loud at certain parts of the book. I'm embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed it and would recommend it to those with a sense of humor!

To call these printable is a total joke! Spent over an hour tinkering with the margin setting and printed test copies on plain paper and still didn't print even close to right on the final printing.  I got because didn't want to spend the extra money for the Do-Terra already printed essential oil labels but ended up ordering them anyway.

Question: Julius Caesar is my favorite Shakespeare play because it is about political power

Julius Caesar is my favorite Shakespeare play because it is about political power. This play is classical and universal in theme, because all relationships are about power. There are the rulers and the ruled, and those who aspire to rule and and do anything they can to win power, after which they do whatever they can get away with. Our survival depends on our ability to control our so-called rulers, who are mainly concerned with their own interests, while claiming to be our leaders. In this play, Mark Antony kills Caesar claiming he did it to save Rome. the contenders for the presidency are saying the same thing. Since all relationships are about power, look at the relationship between the rich and the working class,men and women, immigrants, and everybody and everything else. Remember Lord Acton said,"power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

I have used these two seat covers to cover my leather seats on my 2016 Tahoe and no issues at all. They hold up to anything my kids have thrown at them.

I was looking long and hard for some tan riding boots.  I'm pretty picky since most shoes hurt my feet, and I was taking a chance on these.  After reading reviews at other internet sites, it sounded like these would be a good fit.  They ended up being better than I'd anticipated.  First, they're GORGEOUS, the craftsmanship is amazing.  The insoles are padded, and the lining feels like suede.  The color is also a beautiful tan that matches almost everything I wear.  It's an investment, but I promise you won't regret buying these!

I am a fan of nature's miracle cleaning product and thought to give this litter a try when the one that I usually ordered from amazon gets too expensive now. It doesn't clump very well for cat pee. I will not re-order again.

I had this Macbook Air for several months and then one day i went to turn it on and nothing happened.  I called apple support and was able to get the computer to come on after a  series of tries.  then a few weeks later it started to run hot all the time and then it stopped just and quickly and it had started.  a few weeks went by and again it was running hot all the time and again it just stopped.  now about a week ago it does turn on again.  called apple support since it is still under warranty and this time we could not get it to start.  i made an appt. to go into my apple store, a good 25 minute drive, and left there to be check.  i was told it would be about two days.  seven days later i called because i didn't hear from anyone and they told me over the phone that someone would call me back by the end of the day.  well, no one did call.  at least not until 2 days later on a saturday evening.  they told me they could not find anything wrong with it?  what?  nothing wrong.  I have until 22 sept 2015 for the warranty to expire and i am seriously thinking about returning this Macbook to Amazon before then.  i wouldn't buy another apple computer, ever.

Question: A Solid Series (Now Where's the Next Book?)

Since I was the lucky recipient of the sequel, "Gaurdian," I thought it might be wise to read the series in order (well, publication order at any rate). As I made my way through the "Halflings" eBook, I found myself enjoying the story.

The story has a fresh approach to the popular theme where the heroine begins a journey of self-discovery, testing newfound abilities along the way, and struggling to reconcile her conflicting romantic feelings for at least two different characters. It seemed to be well-written (though I reserve the right to change my opinion as it is based upon reading the eGalley, with all it's proofing and editorial markings).

Set up to move along at decent pace, this story manages to convey solid character development, intriguing plot, as well as cover some thorny religious questions (please pardon the unintended pun), all without overtly forcing any opinions down the reader's throat. It is a solidly entertaining book - regardless or your personal dogma.  A read worthy enough of moving on to the next book - particularly as the author did such a wonderful job of crafting a tantalizing cliffhanger ending.

We love this light! We bought it to hang up over a dining room table. It is the perfect lamp for a fun area and gives off a great amount of light. We have it on a dimmer and it works great.

Question: I LOVE THIS EXTENDER!!

It's super soft and silky, it looks great under everything I wear! The lacy bottom gives the perfect girly touch to whatever I choose to wear over it! The straps don't dig into my shoulders either, I bought something similar to this from a local store a while back, but it was so tight on my shoulders that it gave me a headache! These straps are perfect! Now that the weather is warm, I can finally wear it, and make all my friends jealous! I want one in every color! Remember to read the sizing chart, and you won't be disappointed!!

It is true that to tell the story of Arthur Harris it is necessary to tell the story of the air war in WW2.  I was looking for more biography of Harris and less a retelling of that story that what I found.  I wanted to know more about his life.  Nevertheless the book is well researched and written and covers the air war from a RAF perspective well.  In this account the US Eighth Air Force is a side show. Neillands does justice to the failure of the British government to stand behind the RAF and Harris in the aftermath of the war.

Question: My favorite wall calendar

For many years now, this calendar has served me well. One month spans two oversized pages and focuses on a particular region in France (pinpointed on a small outline map), and never the same from one year to the next. Wells's text is brief but charming. The cover accurately illustrates the typical assortment of Rothfeld's photographs -- in size, number, and breadth of topic -- that adorn each and every month. Still, generous room is allotted each day for noting appointments, recitals, and what have you. Holidays span US, UK, Canada, and Australia, along with major Christian and Hebrew holy days. Thumbnails of the preceding and following months are included. One star off for the lack of moon phases.

Regions covered for 2007:
January, N. Coast of Brittany
February, Ile de France
March, Belle-Ile-en-Mer
April, Loir-et-Cher
May, Paris
June, Indre-et-Loire
July, Burgundy
August, Pays Basque
September, Le Bassin
October, Vaucluse
November, Bouches-du-Rhne
December, Finistere

Estuve esperando mucho tiempo y vali la pena

Question: they are adorable. I am getting myself anotehr set for christmas

they are adorable. I am getting myself anotehr set for christmas. They don't give off much light as far as lighting your path, but they are so dainty hanging from tree limbs in the yard here and there. They look magical. Love em'

My LO is 5 months and we just got this for her. I like the music it plays, especially the nature sounds like the one with the water running with the wind chime sounds in the background. It vibrates and I think my LO,might have a preference for that to be on. At this age she already reaches out for things a lot. She's always arching her back in the bouncer to give her more reach to get to the heart and butterfly that are hanging. Lol it's cute. Sometimes she will get frustrated in it because she can't reach it or can't pull them down. I usually have a toy in there with her when she is in the bouncer. We also have the fisher price coral cradle n swing. That has lights and the mobile rotates. She loves that one a lot by far but also can get frustrated in it once she gets one of the things that hangs from the mobile. It's better if she doesn't catch one of those because it's mechanical and moves around. When she catches one the mechanics if it makes a loud sound and I rush over for her to let it go because she can actually damage the internal mechanism from worki properly because she isn't letting the mobile spin around like its wires to do. The bounce is pretty cute :) she has a good time in it.

Question: I bought this to have a second 6" cake pan ...

I bought this to have a second 6" cake pan to go with another slightly shallower pan.  This pan was about 1/4 inch larger in diameter than my other pan, which I measured to be the proper 6" at the bottom.

As a result of this pan being taller, I think the cake rose higher in the middle. (My hypothesis)

I would purchase again to have two of the same if I end up needing to do more 6" cakes.

The picture is very clear, and the viewing angle is wide enough for my needs. The case is thin and the border around the screen is narrow, so it does not take up a lot of wall space. Basically it is all picture. The sound is not very good but given the lack of space in the cabinet for good speakers this was expected. I bought a separate sound bar to provide better sound. If you already have a receiver than this would be a non-issue. I have notice the flesh tones are off on some content. I have not had time to fine tune the adjustments to see if that takes care of it and some of it may be due to the media type. Overall, I am very pleased with the picture.

Question: Product is thin, but not unusable

Product is a bit flimsy, and it bends across your lap when being used. I found it to be very usable with a 1/2 inch thick board underneath it. It does seem to be a bit expensive for the materials and assembly costs involved, since it's pretty much a 1/8" thick piece of plexiglass. I am not completely dissatisfied, and they were not dishonest about what they were offering, I just probably should have done a little more research before purchase because the pliability of the board means it curves around your lap instead of being rigid, as I expected.

EDIT: They reached out to me and made sure I was satisfied after leaving this review, and offered anything they could to make sure I was satisfied. I appreciated that, and I think that this product is exactly as described, just know that if you're looking for something that will remain rigid, you'll have to add some form of support behind it, which was fairly simple to do.

I have been in law enforcement for 15 years... spent 2 years of that working for this man.  Let me tell you, he is a pompus showboating pig.  That being said, this video does give the perfect debate prompts.  The discussions in class that followed this video were great.

Instructor aware note:  There is a brief moment of nudity in this video at the biker scene in which breasts are shown in full frontal.  Probably not a big deal for college but this was high school.  (OOPS!)

Question: Inspiring from a business point of view and a changing America

Let Hageseth take you on an exciting journey of our country's awakening! He points out all the reasons marijuana became illegal nearly a century ago (mostly racism against Mexicans and a laughable movie, Refer Madness, that blames MJ for violence) and why all the politicians strove to keep it illegal for financial reasons. Yet as the author points out, when used by an adult, MJ is less harmful than prescription drugs, alcohol, and sugar.

This fascinating book covers the three types of MJ, the history of why it was banned, the changes in cops' attitudes from 2009 till the present, the issues of being an MJ entrepreneur (including not being able to use banks!), how it affected his family life, why 25 states that made medical MJ legal are benefiting, and much, much more.

Hageseth had the advantage of already running a few successful businesses. But in this booming biz, within six years his Green Man company grossed 20 million dollars and won two industry prizes.

One of the last chapters discusses the future of the industry. He predicts recreational MJ will be legal throughout the US by 2020, and big corporations will get in on the action. Sadly, when Big Agra, Big Tobacco, and Big Pharma are involved, it's likely that MJ will be grown with pesticides and even become GMO. The doses will be standardized. Most will prefer edibles.

But things are changing fast and the stigma will be gone soon. His visionary stance at the end may even bring tears to your eyes, as it did mine.

PS: When you read the book, you will wonder why its release date wasn't set for April 20 instead of April 21!

Question: More consistent than Seal IV, but lacks emotion of first three releases

When I heard that Seal was going back to the dance style of his debut, I was a little more excited than usual, especially after the Motown-like departure that was his previous album.
And while his latest album isn't bad, it's doesn't have the emotional depth that his first three albums rode on.
There are no songs that touch the heart or mind here, and perhaps that's due to the fact that the music buying public has changed drastically, that one's goal seems to be to make songs that can become ringtones, rather than making quality music, and also that this is his first album not overseen by longtime producer Trevor Horn.
If it weren't Seal, this maybe a good, solid dance album, but this is Seal, who could move listeners with acoustic or even a cappella songs by just opening his mouth to sing.
A lot of the songs here sound similar, too similar, as if he and his new producer made all the backing tracks in one continuous session, and then later, they wrote lyrics and just sang them over the tracks.
Sometimes Seal has bordered on sentimentality, but never has he been so shallow and downright shallow as on "Wedding Day." It's long been the case that when an artist gets married, the music suffers, not because of his/her time being taken up, but because, unfortunately for the artist, happiness often doesn't translate into moving music.
The second big problem with this album, after its glaring lack of SEAL heart and emotion, is that the tracks are almost all interchangeable. You could switch the vocal tracks from music track to track and we probably wouldn't know the difference.
The tracks are repetitive to the point of lacking any sort of soul, and are just, sadly for a Seal album, very shallow.
Even though it's trying to be like a sequel to his first album, the tracks on his debut, even with thumping dance sounds and electronic flourishes, there was no denying Seal's passion and ability to move with the seemingly most simple of phrases, bridges or breaks. There was drama within those songs, and that ability to dramatize and emote carried him through those first three albums.
But, as at least one other person mentioned, once his great album "Human Beings" didn't sell as well as the others, Seal went commercial.
Human Beings is his crowning achievement, but the flavor-of-the-month masses didn't get it. Many of the songs on it are hypnotic, the sounds bordering on an underwater dub style, and the insights deep, and the sounds as intriguing as the cover shot of Seal either lurking and creeping or cowering in a defensive stance.
It was quiet, subdued, patient and artistic, but the masses wanted more power-type ballads from Seal, but instead they received an artistic response with depth and the same Seal emotion and they didn't accept it.
So here we are, after a more commercial offering and a change in producers and even with his voice on "System," it's hard to say, but almost anyone could have sang these new songs, and the same reaction would be reached.
Seal will hopefully find his way back to heart-and-mind tugging music....
Maybe, one late night, he'll play "Human Beings" and come home.

I have various older ISE drives that I need to connect to a new motherboard. I bought a bunch of these converters so that I can connect my drives directly to the SATA ports of the new board. The results were mixed.

The DVD-ROM seems to work in this arrangement. I'm able to use the drive, and even boot from it if need be.

None of my hard drives work adequately in this arrangement. It works a little bit (the BOIS is able to boot from the drive) but the operating system, Linux in my case, is unable to access the drive. It seems clear to me that this adapter is not "transparent" and should be (or is transparent and shouldn't be) so this arrangement just doesn't work.

In the end, I bought an internal IDE card (which ultimately cost less than the two Vantec adapters it replaces) and that works for me. You too may find that to be a more reliable solution.

Question: My son loved it more than I did

So the other day was my mother in law's funeral service. It was a quiet affair but it was rough for my son. He didn't understand what was going on and soon he became antsy. So I took him to a small corner and sat down and pulled out my phone. I only had a few books loaded on there for him but remembered that I had requested a review copy of Green Bird from *Tomoson (a company that connects bloggers with companies).

Green Bird is the story of a little green bird who lives with a pink squirrel. One day Green Bird decides he wants to find his real family.  So off he flys encountering many other "green" creatures and objects. But none of them are his family. Little Green Bird decides he won't give up looking for his family.

Ok so...I have some mixed feelings on this book. First it reminded me a lot of my mother's favorite children's book Are You My Mother? The reason I say that is because Green Bird asks every green object he comes upon if it is a green bird. I'm still not sure on how I feel on the parallel between the two books. I could look past the one or two grammatical errors as this was a review copy I was reading. But, there was one thing that I did not like. The book ends on a cliffhanger. Call me old fashioned but I don't think children's picture books should ever end on a cliffhanger. There should always be a happily ever after or at least a happily for now. Five year olds shouldn't have to wait for the next book (is there going to be one?) to find out if Green Bird finds his family. Most children's books are set up so that way it doesn't matter what order you read them in and they always have a resolution. Even the Harry Potter books end with a happily for now.

With that all said it wasn't a terrible book. I liked the simple and sweet illustrations.
It was cute and my son enjoyed it. He liked trying to figure out what the green things were that the bird came upon before they were revealed. He also didn't seem to mind that we didn't find Green Bird's family. So I asked him what he thought of the book. With a finger gently tapping his chin he told me. "I think I'm gonna go with 5 stars mommy."

So there you have it 5 out of 5 stars for my son

*I recieved a review copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion
**This book was read with my special needs son who is severely learning disabled. The review reflects not only my opinion but his as well

I just received the repeller in the mail, and the instructions state it works best in the 5-6 foot range.  That will not do me any good, I wish they had been upfront on the limited range because I would not have purchased it.  I need something to quiet the dogs across the street.

for my son, he loves his wallet, bright colored so he doesn't lose it easily.  very nice sturdy material.  great buy.

This is a perfect basic set.  I purchased it for my daughter to use for her school art class.  It is durable and has a great variety of brush sizes, and is a great value.

Nice cool and close fit.  Tends to fit tightly - if you like that order your normal size; if you want the fit not tight then order one size up

Great book, just the information I needed. I can read a chapter, or just look for what I need at the moment.

Question: Bossman review by Inkvotary

Fast paced, sometimes very funny, while other pages are darker, and others again are very emotional.
Vi Keeland writes in a soft but blunt tone, her style is open and shows you all kind of emotions. There isn't one page where it gets boring or is close to it. Holy moly I was close to tears when I found out why Chase was acting the way he does during one scene and it was so sweet when he tried to make up for it afterwards.
What a wonderful to read novel. I was very amazed that this wasn't at all the usual office-romance-kind-of-cheesy-thing you might expect while reading the summary. This book is definitely worth a look and your time.

Good price, fit the trailer.  Poor description as the order contained two large, rear lens and two small side lens.

With instructions on how to build one or convert a small area in your home...this book has been a great treasure to my library

This is the best Broadway compilation you can buy.  This CD takes 17 classic selections plus 8 previously unreleased Forbidden Broadway tracks.  I especially enjoy the Annie, Ragtime, and Julie Andrews selections.  I now  own all of the Forbidden Broadway CDs and if you are a new collector of  them, I would say get this one first to sample all of the CDs.  If you like  Broadway or like parodies, I know you like this CD!

Question: They were everything I expected them to be except the ...

They were everything I expected them to be except the picture showed them with a nickel interior and mine are copper inside and out.

So, this company emailed me to review their product (I purchased this item myself); below is my personal review & then the  list of things they wanted me to consider and review about their product. So, firstly my review:

It is hard to believe that all of the pillow protector makers in this world have not jumped on the bandwagon and started producing them for body pillows!  You are missing out on a goldmine people! Anyway, this item is a two-pack of pillow protectors for the long, body-pillow style. (Started using: July, 2016) Upon opening, I immediately placed both protectors into a "delicates" laundry bag and washed them with Method brand detergent; they were then zipped closed & left to air dry before I placed them on my pillows.  Once dry, I tried to wrangle one of the protectors on the new body pillow (Target $9)-- it took a lot of effort, and once on, was very tight/snug.  The other protector went on easily (older/flatter pillow).
(Problem #1) The terry covers of both of these protectors were very rough both before and after laundering; I had hoped that washing them might soften them up a bit, but no.  I put on soft body-pillow pillowcases (Target) on top of both of the protectors & placed them on the bed, making them ready for use.
(Problems #2/3) July is a warm month, and a cool pillow is a welcomed delight... unfortunately these pillow protectors retained both heat and air. The flatter pillow that I use as my head pillow, got so hot at night that I had to just take it off and use the pillow without the protector. It was sweaty hot with the protector on and cool without the protector.  The other body pillow with the protector on it is still, over a month later, so poofy with the protector on that I have to squeeze the air out of it every night (without the protector, there is no squeezing needed). This pillow gets hot as well.

~~So, overall, we are sort of stuck as consumers, allergy suffers, et cetera... because there are so few options that do all that they claim.  I was looking for the holy grail of body-pillow protectors, but that just doesn't seem to currently exist.
Would I buy them again? No.
Would I recommend them? Yes & no.

Company email requested a review regarding the following:
1. How well do they fit on your pillows?
I have one brand-new body pillow (Target $9) & the fit was very snug, and I also have an older body pillow (Target $9), and since it was less poofy the fit is just like that of a regular pillowcase.
2. Are they easy to put on and remove?
Very difficult to get on the new body pillow-- had to roll it down like pantyhose, put the end of the pillow in and tug/pull the case up while being worried I was going to rip the protector or break the zipper.
3. Did they help alleviate any dust mite allergies?
Hard to say, I think I would need a petri dish to confirm or deny.
4. Did they help stop any bedbugs from entering or exiting your pillows?  Don't have bedbugs.
5. Any recent spills or stains they protected against? Haven't spilled anything on them.
7. Would you recommend them? Yes & no.

Question: Singing the songs without words

The first volume in Ronald Brautigam's series of Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words for BIS was highly praised for the singing quality of Brautigam's playing, and I'm happy to say there's more beautiful playing, on this disc, which shows off the sound of the replica of the 1830 Pleyel fortepiano, and the singing quality Brautigam coaxes from it. In John Eliot Gardiner's Music in the Castle of Heaven, the great conductor talks about the early experiments in playing Baroque music in a style that scholars felt was a good approximation of what Monteverdi or Bach might have known.

"Then suddenly we hit a brick wall. The fault was neither theirs nor mine, but that of the instruments we were using  the same as everyone else had been using for the past hundred and fifty years. However stylishly we played them, there was no disguising that they had been designed or adapted with a totally different sonority in mind, one closely associated with a late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century (and therefore anachronistic) style of expression. With their wire or metal-covered strings they were simply too powerful  and yet to scale things down and hold back was the very opposite of what this music, with its burgeoning, expressive range, calls for."

If this is true for the music of the Baroque, how much more important is it for a Romantic composer like Mendelssohn.  It's true that control is an important part of the pianist's art, but scaling down and holding back the power and range of a Steinway grand piano surely goes against the grain. E.T.A. Hoffmann was there at the invention of Romanticism in music, which he describes in his 1813 essay "Beethoven's Instrumental Music": "Only with this pain of love, hope, joywhich consumes but does not destroy, which would burst asunder our breasts with a mightily impassioned chordwe live on, enchanted seers of the ghostly world!"

When the pianist plays a "mightily impassioned chord" by Mendelssohn, and there is much passion in this music, he's holding back on a Steinway, but letting go on a Pleyel. The common perception that Historically Informed Performance is careful and cerebral and timid is all wrong; the best HIP artists are physically engaged in, viscerally linked to, impassioned about the music. That's certainly the case with Brautigam and his Mendelssohn. This music was not written to play in front of hundreds or thousands; rather it is intimate music, written in and for the restrained, classical Biedermeier rooms of the comfortable German middle class. But it is not limited in emotional range; it is truly Romantic. When things get stormy, we hear the storm the way Mendelssohn heard it in his head, and played it for his sister Fanny. In quieter moments, like the first song from Book 6, there's a natural sound, an authenticity, that escapes any pianist on a modern piano. This piece couldn't be more beautifully played than in Daniel Barenboim's classic 1974 set. It's polished to a bright shine, but it's missing a whole level of regret and loss that comes out in Brautigam's performance. The whole emotional range is here, but sounding as it might have in Mendelssohn's parlour. The lover of Mendelssohn, or of fine piano playing, should not miss out on Brautigam's Songs, now complete on two discs.

My wife tried this on and said it was great. It's waterproof and so it last through the day even in humid beach climates like ours. It goes on smooth and is easy to apply exactly where you need it leaving plenty of time to focus on other areas.

It fitted my Honda CBR 250R 2013 but I had to replace it after one year. My bike was winterized for 5 months and plugged to a charger during that time and it didn't make it through.

I'm a contractor and have purchased and installed a dozen or so of these units. I have found them to be better than many of the other brands. This one I purchased for my own home and it works great like all the others. Keep in mind it takes slightly longer to get hot water with any tankless heater as it is producing it on demand vs having a tank which keeps water hot 24/7/365. Also know that if the power goes out you will also be without hot water. Other than that, it's great to have endless hot water, especially if you have a wife that takes long showers right before you do!

Question: Intense, Fun & Gruesome

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda is a solid start to a brilliant new series. The Hunt gripped me from page one. I've been reading a lot of dystopian young adult lately, and this one is completely refreshing. Nothing like the rest. Imagine a world where humans are practically extinct and vampires rule... And you're the only human left, that you know of. The only thing you can do to survive is blend in. The world Fukuda creates is fascinating and creative. It starts off intriguing, then slows down and becomes a little boring. I kept with it though, and I'm so glad that I did. I ended up loving it- creeped out, a little scared, holding my breath. Finished in one sitting.

The Hunt is told from the male point of view and I didn't realize that I've missed that- too many female leads lately. And I have rejoiced that these aren't your typical young adult vampires. They're cruel and blood thirsty. Their the majority. There is nothing that makes me like them, or want to like them. Go humans! There are some gruesome scenes, not for the faint of heart. I love when we get to see this side of vampires.

Gene, the main character, is very likeable. I really wanted him to succeed and couldn't stop rooting him on. He is incredibly intelligent, maybe a little apathetic. Gene's character progression is exciting to follow. Aside from Gene, the characters are fun, a little dull, but fun. The vampires are given really goofy ways to communicate their emotions. Sometimes it made it hard to follow because I just couldn't envision a bunch of vampires scratching their wrist as laughing. (I read this book months ago, forgive me if wrist scratching was actually anger or something.) Anyway, by the end of the book, I found these goofy things entertaining and funny to think about.

The Hunt is violent, intense and absolutely captivating. I highly recommend this book to older, or less sensitive, young adult readers, those who love dystopia or vampires or both... Or just anyone who is interested in an awesome adventure story. I will definitely be reading the sequels!

They fade and change colors easily if you're active and sweat on them.

Question: Love this tablecloth !

Just the right fit and washes well, comes out of the dryer and little to no wrinkles.  Do not have to iron !

this is easily Ozzy's most forgettable release.  and, it's probably his worst.

Where to start?  The sound has changed to what he's pretty much followed up with on Black Rain and Scream.  I don't at all care for how deep his ovcals are now.  He use to have such an interesting voice.  I guess with age, he's lost a lot of range, which I guess I can forgive.  But most of the songs are ballads, and even the rockers tend to be really slow.  I'm not a sound tech, so I don't know production technical terms, but I HATE the sound of this album.  It sounds, I guess you could say too muddy.

And the song selections; For wha tit's worth?  Really?  Add the 2007 version by Queensryche, one band who has fallen harder than Ozzy in terms of musical quality, and there were 3 covers from 03-07 alone just by bands I like, Rush being the better of the bunch.  But seriously, this song is so overplayed and over covered.  At this point I'm really not interested in hearing any version of it.  And All the young dudes?  Horrible song, just horrible!  Why Ozzy and Bruce Dickinson, on a solo album of his, both felt this was a song worthy of covering is beyond me.  And Ozzy's version doesn't help that.  I hope the original is much better, but I can't imagine it is.  Even with a better singer, and good production, which let's face it, for an album from the 60's that won't happen, and 70's it's very unlikely, can't help a crappy song.  I already like the Guns N'Roses version of Sympathy For The Devil, so I never bothered with that one.

Also Ozzy covered a version of Staying Alive which should have been on here.  Heck it'd have brought more energy than this entire album, practically.

There are a few decent tracks.  I like around 7 songs on here which might warrant a better rating if they were a little better and the terible songs weren't so bad.  But they were, so it gets 2 stars.  Rocky Mountain Way is probably the best song on here.  Working Class Hero is next in line, and I'm actually impressed with the passion Ozzy brings in this song.  In My Life is ok, nothing special.  Mississippi Queen is decent but too slow.  Fire is pretty cool.  It's actually an up tempo song, and Ozzy and co. do a decent job.  Sunshine Of Your Love is ok, but it sounds too cluttered.  This one could've been produced much better than it was.  21 Century Schizoid Man is also alright.  Everything else I found to be absolutely atrocious.  Just awful.

If you're an Ozzy fan, buy this used, or just get the songs I liked.  You could always youtube them to hear them and decide for yourself before buying.  I really don't like the sound Ozzy has gone with lately, and I hope his next solo album, which he's talked about doing, but now there's talk of a new Black Sabbath album, sounds better than this.  Heck if there is a new Sabbath album I hope that's better.  If you're not an Ozzy completist, then stay away.  Get Blizard Of Oz, Diary Of A Madman, Bark At The Moon, and No More Tears.  Those are all awesome albums.  Then feel free to decide on his other albums.  Ozmosis is actually pretty good, and Scream and Ultimate Sin are decent as well.

This book subtly presents the idea of sharing and  satisfaction with what you have WITHOUT being pedantic or preachy. The illustrations are lively and engaging and the text is humorous. The author also perfectly hits a reading level that are perfect for children ready to launch from co-reading to solo reading. After one read through my twin six-year olds were independently picking out words and reading back and forth to each other. Magic! Love it!

This is more like a technical issue with Kindle instead of the book's content. When reading the book in iOS devices, including my iPhone 6 and iPad mini 2, the plus sign and minus sign shift a little to the right, so that "a += 1" will show as "a = +1", very confusing.

Nice stove which can handle small size cups up to mess set skillets. When assembled, it is very sturdy.

I brought this movie based on the great reviews that it had received.

The initial couple of episodes were interesting but as the series progressed, it was repetition without substance.

Overall, the series had a cute concept but the writers /directors just didn't take it anywhere and by the end of the first-series, I promised myself that I would not invest in the second-season.

At the end of the series, I no longer cared what happened to "George".  She's going to be doing much the same activites, with most of the same people that were in the first season and I really don't care if they move on or stay where they were.

Question: Wonderful end to a series!

Love, Love, Love. I love Meghan. I love Puck. I REALLY love Ash. I love everything about this book. I love the cover, the page design, the plot, Nevernever. I even love the big, bad, evil Iron Fey. Which really, The Iron Fey aren't "bad", there just different and trying to survive too.

In the third book of The Iron Fey series, it's up to Meghan, Puck, Ash, and Grimalkin to go into the heart of the Iron Fey realm to stop a war before all of the Winter and Summer Fey are destroyed. I never had any issues with Meghan as a character, and she just grew so much more in this book. She's even more kick-ass then before! Puck was still the same funny, Puck, but I think he was a little rougher around the edges. Then there is Ash, beautiful, amazing Ash. All I wanted to do throughout the entire book was hug him. I also love Puck and Ash's scenes together. It's so funny how much they hate each other, yet care about each other at the same time.

I enjoyed seeing a softer side to Queen Mab. She really does love Ash, and I liked seeing that play out.

Watching Meghan and Ash love story unfold was heartbreaking. She being a Summer Princess with Iron Fey powers and him being the Winter Prince, you knew the odds were always against them. I still have hope for them.

Julie Kagawa is an amazing storyteller. She created this vivid world of Nevernever and really brought it to life in her writing. I felt like I was there with the characters, experiencing exactly what they were going through. No moment is boring in The Iron Queen, there is so much action and plot twists that there is no good time to stop reading. You just have to keep on reading till you hit the last page. This is a series that just keeps getting better and better!

Slightly small through the hips, but overall good quality.

Question: Good read...took to long to take off

Synopsis: Georgie is trying to battle demons in an incident involving the beating death of a 5 year old that has driven her to the English countryside and to a cottage owned by her deceased brother whom she never knew. Problems continue to plague her when strange occurrences and unfriendly neighbors welcome her to the village. Those incidents are minor compared to what Georgie is facing.

My rating: 3 Stars

My opinion: This is a book that I should have enjoyed. The premise of the storyline was great. Problem, you ask? It took too long for the book to take off. I almost felt that the author went overboard with developing the storyline that by the time it came to get to the "blood/guts" of the book, I was lost. I just wanted to get it done and over with. This is evident by the length of time (2 weeks) it took me to read a 300 page book.

I must admit that I still get chills when I read the book description.

Maybe One Day is a sad, sweet, and serious story depicting a beautiful teen friendship. Olivia and Zoe are best friends who were just excused from a prestigious dance academy.  Soon after, Olivia finds out she has a life threatening illness. Zoe spends the next several months visiting Olivia at home and at the hospital, waiting for her to recover.  The author portrays the friendship and the response of Olivias classmates in a really positive way.  However, my favorite parts of the book, by a landslide, involved Zoes romantic encounters with the handsome and incredibly kind hunk, Calvin.

Question: Unique and Original take on Zombies.

Inventive, Original, Clever and in some places it was actually quite frightening. The author does a good job at describing NY and the rivers of dead in the early morning fog. He also make it very claustrophobic in the medical facility and the subway. Like many Zombie stories (my own included) there are some stereotyped happenings in this novel but the majority of the action is fresh. I cannot wait to read the sequels. Wellington has created a cool place to re-visit in your nightmares.

I'd give it a 5 but the whole magic/mummy type stuff was not needed at all and didn't really add anything to the story. Also, the character who ends up being THE BAD GUY starts off as being a quality sympathetic and misunderstood character - only to become a prick and an immature psycho. He sounded more like a teenager than a Doctor (which he was supposed to be.)

Cons: straw constantly falls out inside the bottle (at least once a day) and mold developed under the straw, in between the plastic and the bottle, which is impossible to get to and clean. Had to go in the trash! I'm disappointed this bottle didn't work out. I like the simplicity of Contigo bottles for our toddler and we are the journey to non-plastic, but this simply isn't a good solution.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago. I have been listening to it every day, on repeat, for at least 3-5 hours (I have a night job where I drive around)...... I have not heard such heart wrenching music in years. Maybe I'm just sentimental because I loved Forty Hour Train Back to Penn, but if you have not heard of Vinnie Caruana, this new album from IATA is a great place to start. This bands sound is melodic hardcore punk rock with a raw and very emotionally intense vocalist. Some singers just phone it in, but this guy really puts everything he's got into it and so does the band- you can hear it on tracks like My Lion Heart, Anna Lee, Young Kerouacs, Where Were You? (Super Storm Sandy...I think?), and definately on 177 (so tragic that all those people are going to hell). I would start with those songs, but really the entire album is fantastic. It is refreshing to know that music like this is still around and being made.

Question: I like the box it came in

Seems high quality.  I like the box it came in, I can use it for storage.  So far these work great.

I misplaced my Olympus battery charger and needed to replace it.  I was cautious to buy this product; but, it had a good price and I took the chance.  It does the job as well as the original equipment.

Question: I do not know how the author found a publisher?!

Nothing new here about the Outfit, or for that matter, the cops, prosecutors, politicians or judges that dealt with them.  Anyone with a passing knowledge of Chicago knows the spread and depth of corruption, this book does not add anything.  Not a serious book about the subject and not even entertaining.

I got hooked on Krueger a few years ago when, as a library worker, his novel Boundary Waters came across the desk.  Being a canoe camping fanatic, I read that book and now every other book he has written.

Northwest Angle is like the others, complete with vivid descriptions of the personalities of the characters and wilderness setting, making you feel that you would like to be a part of the action.  You don't want to put this book down, especially as the plot twists and turns toward the end.

I would have given it 5 stars if it were not for a few inconsistencies.  For example, why did Jenny and Aaron have their first spat with the baby out on the dock where they knew they would be in plain view of the predatory cigarette boat?  When Jenny floats the baby on the crude "raft", the baby is in a basket.  What if the basket tipped over?  At least the basket should have been tied onto the raft.  Also, he was only kept in the cooler during the short storm on the motorboat ride across Lake of the Woods, no mention of a PFD.  Then as they made the daring escape from Meloux's cabin, why bring the clunky cooler and not just carry the baby? (I know - they had to bring along the clandestine GPS for the plot to work.)  In perilous wilderness situations, I would not waste time and energy worrying that the formula had to be warmed.  My son lived on room temperature formula.  Finally, I thought that Rose and Mal, eager to have children at an advanced age, would have adopted the baby, not single mom Jenny.  But OK -- this may make for more interesting times ahead in the next book.

Details notwithstanding, Krueger's plots entertain well, especially for family-oriented, mystery-loving audiences.  Purgatory Ridge stands out as my favorite so far, Mercy Falls as my least favorite (the only one with an inconclusive ending).  I do look forward to the next one and many more.

Question: SUCCESSFUL SURGERY AND AN UNEXPECTED LOVE

Joseph underwent a successful surgery on his back and had to go through a lot of therapy to make him feel almost as good as before his accident. Emma thought she could run away from the place where she worked,under new people who really care for her. She was attacked by one of the Men from her past and Jennie creamed him with a baseball bat. She winds up at the Carson ranch and her whole life changes for the better. That s is another must read, that I highly recommend. That s has been a exciting and sometimes very touching series.

The best oscillating tool out there. Makes every job of mine very useful and fast. Great tool to have around the house.

Question: movie geat, Blu-ray transfer very disappointing

Although the move itself is excellent, this Blu-ray Region Free version has a serious flaw.  Independently the audio and video are very good, although the video is not wide screen as would be expected for a Blu-ray.  Unfortunately the audio and video are so out of sync in places that if one didn't know better one would think it a very badly dubbed foreign film.  Although I give the move itself the full five stars, this particular transfer barely gets 3.

True to the picture, but thinner than I expected. It slid around a lot so I bought a rug pad for more support and to keep it in place. Another $50 spent on the pad. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase, especially because of the low price.

Question: Expensive error on your part !!

Read this book, enjoyed it and deleted it from my library so why have you now sent me the audio version ???  NOT INTERESTED IN AUDIO !!!!!

I read this book after Aquariums of Pyongyang to get a better understanding of North Korea's position in world politics. I consider I was very fortunate in choosing this book.
This author challenges typical views of North Korea as simply an evil empire through a very convincing analysis of the political circumstances leading up to the current situation but at the same time he does not defend the regime.
Whereas I suspect other books focus on criticising the DPRK, McCormack is heavily critical of US policy and diplomacy for its role in the current deadlock and the escalating nuclear threat. His insights have greatly helped me to understand current developments and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to go beyond Washington's over-simplified representation of the state of affairs.

I was pleased with my experience with Turbo Tax Deluxe this year.  This was a return to the previous version with schedule D included in the Federal return.  I still find a few items that require special work to get done correctly that would be simpler in a manual return, but on a whole it is a major time saver with increased accuracy and flexibility in the federal return.  The state program still is not extremely flexible.  I find that you need to be very careful and get everything input exactly right on the first pass because once entered there are some things that become not accessible with no way to modify (or at lease I can't find a way).  Here again I have missed a few dollars in deductions but it has been a major time saver.

Question: Works but charge doesn't last very long

I bought this battery in November 2014 hoping that it would be better than my 900 cycle stock battery that needed a replacement. At first everything seemed okay but quickly it seems like this battery only lasts for maybe 2-3 hours tops even on casual use. I bought this for 49.95 back in November and then my roommate ordered the exact same one a month later for 59.95. Seeing the price is now 69.95 I would not recommend this battery for the price. Attached is a battery graph of just yesterday when I was using the laptop with light to moderate use. It lasts roughly a little over an hour, This was with a little "heavier use" such as google earth and java websites that caused the computer fans to rev up. On normal use I'd say 2.5 hours at best. If your going to pay 70, I'd just go with the apple replacement or try another battery.

Just what I wanted. Its flow is massive given such a small shower head. If I want less water I won't turn the facet on all the way - what an idea huh? :-)

Its smaller than I thought but it doesn't matter as its flow is easily twice that of the shower head it replaced that was twice it's size. The movement is smooth and stays put when moved around. Installation was a snap - tightened by hand (with a towel for some extra grip) did the trick. The fitting is plastic so I was worried it might leak but it does not.

The best part is the price - can't beat it for under $10. We'll see how long it lasts but it's solid enough and doesn't feel cheap IMO.

Can't think of anything to remove a star for.

Question: Missing Pieces and Too Small

I ordered this product for my wife for Christmas. Like most Amazon items, it arrived quickly. Unfortunately the large cardboard and styrofoam packaging was damaged in shipment. A fairly large chunk of cardboard and styrofoam was missing from one edge of the box. I opened the package and inspected the items. They didn't seem to have any damage.

After assembling the bike (less than an hour for one person), I found that there were 3-4 bolts and 2-3 washers missing. Apparently these were "already installed" on the frame, but loosened in shipping and fell out of the gaping hole in the box (they were not part of the two blister "hardware cards" that were in the instructions bag). These missing items prevented the bike from being assembled to a point where it was safe to use for an actual workout.

I immediately emailed the manufacturer from their website and informed them of the missing pieces. It's been about two weeks, and I've yet to receive any response. Unacceptable.

On top of that, the bike it ergonomically very difficult to use for tall individuals. My wife is tall (about 5'10") and slender. I am 6' tall. She tried to ride the bike, but the computer console was in the way of her knees. We had to completely remove the front "handlebars" to allow her to pedal at all. I was able to pedal with the handlebars removed and not contact the console as long as I paid close attention to what I was doing.

Amazon allowed for a full refund of the product, which I am happy about. Packaging it back up for return was a hassle, but what are you gonna do.

We'll go look for a bike we can physically try out before purchasing again.

I bought this as a gift for a friend. She LOVES it. It looks just like a book. If you put in on a shelf you'd never know the difference. Very well made and very nice looking. Also at a very nice price. Would recommend to anyone.

Question: Great underwater camera that won't break the bank

Snorkeled in Jamaica a few weeks ago and pictures turned out great. I agree with other buyers that sunlight when under the water is a huge help with the picture quality.  Screen is hard to read in the sunlight.  Quality out of the water was "good".  I am glad we purchased this camera and felt the cost was good.

There's a lot of bad Christmas music out there, often a result of bloated arrangements and artists trying to over-sing the material. You'll find no such nonsense here. "Come on December" is a solid, eight-song collection of seasonal tunes that is often understated in its approach. Patty Smyth still has a great voice and uses it to great effect throughout the album, wisely choosing an emotional delivery over vocal gymnastics.

The title track is an instant classic, an upbeat gem that reminds listeners why Smyth has collected so many hits during her career. The two other originals, "Walk With Me" and "Broken," will no doubt make your playlist as well. If the album has a misstep, it's "Winter Wonderland," which is well produced but more melancholy than whimsical. However, she more than makes up for it with strong renditions of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "Do You Hear What I Hear" and "The Christmas Song," as well as a particularly moving version of "Auld Lang Syne."

These are excellent for any crafter or tinkerer.  So easy to add additional trays.  I have two sets, used both to hold tools, molds, glues, paint brushes for both beading and polymer clay.  Very easy to use.  Doesn't take a lot of space and gives you great storage for tools or other smaller items that do not fit in drawers easily.  I highly recommend these.

I don't like these at all.  traditonally these are solid pressed paper and that's what I was expecting.  except these arent.  they're rolled up thick paper.
and don't withstand much in the way of pressure or use.  I should have read the reviews but I assumed they were made as they've always been made.  I'm sorry but this is garbage and a waste of money.  I guess one has to research even the smallest purchase. sad.

Question: Great Mixer and does the job nicely!

This hand mixer does the trick. I ended up buying it because I moved and in the move, lost the mixer itself. I had the beaters but no mixer. I like it so much I bought the same one. I use this constantly instead of taking out my big KitchenAid. It does the job. It has a top button to hold down for extra power. Like I said, it does the job and I had my previous one for many years without a problem.

I got this to vent fumes from my 3d printer and it works great. Not only is the plastic very strong, it's actually clear  and the metal support is a copper color so it's actually fairly neat visually. I assume most will use this somewhere it's not looked at but for me, it's going to be out for all to see so having it be visually pleasing was an added bonus. It says clear in the title but the picture is of a white tube, I can assure you it's clear.

Question: best buy for the money

This is my third floor mate.  We also have the Hoover steam vac which does carpet and upholstery. The floor mate gets the most use because of its light weight and ease of use. It gets used once or twice daily as we have heavy traffic from pets and people with muddy farm dirt on their feet.  I have used steam mops, refillable pad mops and shopvac.  We have an 80year old farmhouse with uneven, warped floors with separations between the planks. So far, the floor mate and shopvac are the only ones to clean thoroughly.  Of the two the floor mate is by far easier to use. The cord is shorter than previous versions, but we simply used an appropriately rated heavyweight extension cord. Problem solved. The noise is a little higher pitched than previous ones but the suction is so much greater it more than makes up for a small increase in noise. I would like to see a hand tool kit that includes something to get under furniture edges and do edge cleaning for base boards , behind the toilet and other tight areas. That would make this the perfect cleaning machine for hard floors.

The arms are a little tight, but everywhere else is good

Question: My family has gone through 10 or so electric kettles for the past 5 years and we own 6 of the toastless version since it was the

I normally do not write reviews, but I decided to comment that this is an outstanding product as at this price point.

My family has gone through 10 or so electric kettles for the past 5 years and we own 6 of the toastless version since it was the best out of the many we used.  Unfortunately toastless kettle has a issue when the plastic filter on the spout comes apart the auto shutoff function fails.  I have failed to find the replacement for them.

This kettle has all the important elements:
Duran/Schott german glass... check
Stainless heating element (these type of kettle usually are not all glass)...check
minimal silicone exposure...check
stainless mesh filter on the spout...check

One drawback is that it is little slow and still has some plastic (lid) and silicon elements (sealant) that is exposed to water.  This kettle also spills water if you pour too enthusiastically.  You just have to open the lid to pour and there will be no spills.

Overall, excellent kettle.

Ehhhh!! Not as good as all the hype. Entertaining but not gladiator or brave heart.

In fact it wasn't as good as how to train a dragon. Didn't need to be that long.

I did like the under world. Felt like playing Diablo.

Question: A book for the required reading lists of every secondary school...

It is the rare book that brings me to tears; but this is one.  It is many things:  a biography, a science lesson, a sociological treatise, a history of racism and poverty, an analysis of a complex ethical dilemma, the touching, thoughtfully crafted story of a dysfunctional family that survives difficult challenges.  Rebecca Skloot's objective portrayal of the Lacks family allows the reader insight into what it is like to be poor and black in this country; an insight that devolves to respect for a family that lives, loves and struggles to get by.  My tears were not tears of pity - as the the members of Lacks' family are strong people not to be dismissed or marginalized by anyone's pity; but rather tears of regret -- for historic racial oppression, for the current dismissal of the poor as lazy and undeserving stereotypes, for the lack of empathy displayed by our politicians.  This is a well written, excellently edited book; and I applaud Skloot for an objective portrayal.

This stuff is awesome. Really make a huge difference in the shine of my cymbals. If you have actually dirt (smudges) on your cymbals, you'll probably need a toothbrush to get that stuff off but overall, Groove Juice works great. After cleaning a used cymbal, I asked my wife to tell me which cymbal was the used one and which was the new one, she couldn't tell the difference.

Question: Well written so even a non-technical person like myself could enjoy it

A fascinating book about the most mundane things in our lives.  Well written so even a non-technical person like myself could enjoy it.  My husband has read it and he loves it too. Note: He is a technical person.

I really like the concept of this, however the execution is lackluster. The chuck just never holds the bit securely.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can never get it to lock tightly which means the bit falls out or slips. Today I actually used the drills and countersink bits from this kit but stuck them directly in my drill. When I drove the screws, I used a blue "Click-Change" chuck that is much much more pleasant to use.

Question: Huge and sturdy...just like I needed!

I needed something to cover my large patio daybed (8 ft diameter)...this fits on top from seam to seam and is not too tight. The length is great as well (daybeds sit lower than tables so it rests on the ground. I liked it so much, I ordered another one for my 60" table and it covers the table and swivel chairs that don't go all the way under. This was a great purchase and arrived in 2 days with amazon prime.

Does all the calculations I need for Calculus 3. I have two problems with the hardware:

1. The calculator is top-heavy
2. The buttons have to be pushed hard

This makes the calculator hard to hold in my hands, and I have to check the screen to make sure the buttons I pressed registered.

Question: Ask Him why: A very good book.

This a nice story with realistic characters and plot. The story is well put together and very interesting. I liked the way the narration was alternated between the two young children. The action of the soldier in the hostile environment very nearly liKe a similar situation that has happened recently, is currently in the news, and has yet to be settled by courts-martial.

While Lynn Freed writes with a commanding voice and renders compelling characters and issues, this book is reminiscent of Brontes' 'Jane Eyre' as well as the work of Jane Austen.  There was just a little of Carsons McCullers' work in the character of Cressida.

I kept repeating the first line of 'Out of Africa.'  'I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills.'  [Yet again, another author comes to mind.]  I believe that this occurred because Freed's novel takes place in South Africa, post World War II.

While one might think that this is a pastiche of other authors' works, I think that it has its own voice and message.  The main characters, Cressida and Mr. Harding, are haunting and heartbreaking.  The disfigured Mr. Harding is to the manor born, and his estate is called Harding's Rest.  He offers refuge to Cressida and her family due to their economically reduced circumstances.  Muriel, Cressida's mother, is an unsentimental, class conscious woman and her older sister, Miranda, seems to be an ordinary individual without great aspirations.  When the book opens, Cressida's father, an old friend of Mr. Harding, is comatose.  He, too, resides and is cared for by Mr. Harding's staff at Harding's Rest.

There is subtle but clearly evident reference to individuals and their social station.  There are servants, servants' quarters, class [the demands of same] and privilege.

This is a slim, character driven, emotionally brooding book.  As other reviewers have mentioned, Mr. Harding's disfigurement is a result of his days as a RAF pilot during WWII.  Miranda, as well as Cressida have nightmares involving Germans although Cressida was born after WWII ended.

Cressida becomes Mr. Harding's 'Eliza Doolittle' -- yet again, another author comes to mind.  She studies, takes piano lessons and whatever cultural enrichment she gains, in general, is a result of Mr. Harding's largess.

I started to think about what is commonly referred to as 'collateral damage.'  Mrs. Harding [the matriarch] is a tad dotty as a result of losing one son to WWII combined with her other son's disfigurement.  Cressida [and Miranda] are plagued by pictures of Holocaust victims and then nightmares.  The ramifications of war extend well beyond its date of termination.

Highly recommended reading for those who enjoy a wonderfully romantic read.
4+

Question: Just the right amount of funny & sexy

Elle, thanks so much for the laughter & time of escape I so needed. This lighthearted time spend with your characters caused me lol.
I look forward to reading more of your books. I give it 4&1/2 stars.

Great window covering.  Very easy to put on & provides the privacy I wanted while still letting light in the house.  Also easy to take off and re-apply, as I noticed when trying to properly size to windows.  I used this on our back door window and the side light windows.  My only frustration is that when covering a full door window a second piece is needed due to width of the sheet.  Therefore, there is a seam line down the window.  It is only noticeable up close, but can be annoying if you're detail oriented.  All in all, I really like the product and will order again for other windows (like bathroom).
