I LOVE THIS BOOK SOOOO MUCH | I LOVE THIS BOOK SOOOO MUCH!!!! I absolutely love geometric/adult design coloring books and this is probably my favorite one of many! Also the price is unbeatable!!! The pictures are not double sided so bleeding much less of an issue. I do however put a blank paper behind the picture I'm coloring because the Bic Fine Point markers I use occasionally bleed a little bit. The paper in this book is also the perfect thickness for reverse art if you like the reverse side of the finished product! I will definitely be purchasing more of these brand in the future! :) |
Underwires poke through after 1st wear! | I received so many compliments on this swim dress but just as many other reviews have said, both underwires poked through the fabric after the 1st wear. So bummed!!! |
love the shoe but it was too wide | Like the shoe. It was just too wide so I ordered it in the regular width and it fit perfect. |
Excellent quality and durability | Excellent quality and durability. Holds up to hard everyday use, carrying laptop and doubling as purse for personal items. Great storage compartments. Just big enough for a MacBook Air.
Beautiful enough that I use it as a purse on the weekends and always get compliments. |
... found out that the only woman he ever truly loved was only 16 at the time and was killed ... | Brock has just found out that the only woman he ever truly loved was only 16 at the time and was killed in an accident. He also finds he has a daughter he never knew about. Jean is a school counselor and Laurie's friend. She lost her husband 15 years ago in a work related accident. She is attracted to Brock but scared at the same time. Can she help Brock mend things with his daughter? Can Brock be everything for Jean?
I absolutely loved this series!!! I'm very happy that Brock and Jean got their story. |
Don't waste your time or money. | Black mark on one panel, which I worked to remove before pressing and hanging. Hem is not straight and look like junk near the floor! Bad side stitching puckers/draws the fabric up - which doesn't straighten, even after steaming. Look terrible, can't use. |
Promising Trilogy with a Flat ending | From the first book I was hooked on this series, but sadly when you get invested into the fates of the characters and expect a positive outcome for them and you get something that leaves a bad taste in your mouth-it makes all the time you spent with them a waste of your time. The sword and sorcery aspects of the story are fantastic. Maybe because most of the main players in the books are both heroes and monsters and are left with little hope of changing their fates. It's a realistic approach to fantasy, however, I read this genre to escape reality. |
Did not fit the rear hatch area | Heavy duty mats. Bought for my daughters 2003 Mitsubishi eclipse. Everything fit except the rear hatch area. Other than that they're ok. |
Look for a better product | Case seems to come off too easily. Very loose |
Cute shoes, good price, time will tell quality | I just got these yesterday and today is my first day wearing them. Time will tell how they hold up. These boots are quite unique and really well priced. They fit a little bit big, especially in the width. I can wear anything from an 8.5-10 depending on the shoe and I went with the 9, my foot does slide a bit, but I don't think it will cause blisters. The only complaint I have is that the inserts are slightly too small so there is a slight ledge my toes drop off, it's weird but I'm getting used to it. |

Does alot but not everything. | Preface: I'm very close to graduating from college, in engineering, so I've used this calculator for high school calc, calc 2, vector calc, chemistry, various engr. courses, probability classes, etc etc. This calculator doesn't have a learning curve per say. Everything is actually quite intuitive to use unlike HP's calcs which require a dozen button presses just to add two numbers. However, the difficulty in usage comes from the fact that you often won't know this calculator *can* do something you have to do. For example, did you know that if you hit the diamond key and then 7, that you'll get a log() without having to use the catalog? (diamond 7, diamond 9, and diamond | are the most useful hidden commands) I would suggest buying this calculator a few months before you actually need it, and spend some time playing around with it and figuring it out.
Yes this calculator is extremely reliable and extremely useful, but I find a lot of the time it's actually overkill (beyond Algebra I never have had to use the graphing functionality which is pretty limited (low res) anyways). The functions I've mainly used over the last 5 years are solve() (use this alot), nPr, nCr, >Polar, >Rectangular, complex number stuff, and expand(). Integration and differentiation are only really useful in calc 1 and some of calc 2, but beyond that the integrations are too complex for this calc to handle and you have to do them by hand. In a lot of other cases this calculator will be able to do something but will spit out the result in a weird format, requiring you to double check it by hand.
A lot of the power lies in being able to install applications to this calculator (some written by TI, some not) and being able to write your own functions. For example, simultaneous equation solver is extremely useful for linear algebra. I've also written various functions to perform operations that would otherwise require multiple steps or mile-long equations (for example, the electron drift velocity of a semiconductor), which is very useful. The program editor on this calculator is fairly intuitive once you get the hang of it by seeing some examples.
And you can obviously also use this calculator along with TI's Notefolio to cheat by storing equations and the like. It's far from a holy grail though especially since you only have a 26x9 character window to work with but it can be a lifesaver in certain classes where you otherwise cram-memorize-forget the day after.
I would recommend this calculator over a TI-84 or -83 simply because the interface and text display are geared more for an adult whereas the -83 is more useful for basic arithmetic and graphing (algebra I and below). The -83 also lacks a lot of applications which are only available for the -89. In summary this calculator is a tool that does well reducing busy-work that you might come across, but it is far from being a second brain. |

Don't waste your time or money. | I got this product hoping to switch between my Cable box, Roku, and Chromecast. Plugged in the cable box... worked okay. Added the Roku, and the cable box stopped working. Okay... unplugged the Roku, and plugged in the Chromecast. Same issue. What's the point of having a switch if you can't switch. Frustrating |
fast service wish others were like Fastastideals. Thank you | 5 Star rating,fast service wish others were like Fastastideals. Thank you.+++++++++++ |
Good for puzzles and books | I use these to hold puzzles and books. They are perfect and are good quality. |
Liked book and author | it was slow getting started, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. |
Miracle Beans and the Golden Book | Outstanding - capitivating! This was an enjoyable read and the several people and events portrayed became very real. I highly recommend this book for people of all ages. |
Always Getting Caught | It would be a big mistake for me to say the wrong things about this book, as I have also suffered from a feeling that I know the truth about a few things, but that I could be locked up for saying anything. It was a bit crazy for Ames to see that the KGB would be willing to pay him for telling them the truth about what he knew, given the difficulties that would be involved in keeping a truthful relationship of that nature a secret. But as Nietzsche has observed, even the hollowest nut wants to be cracked. Spying has become a big business in our age of geopolitical dominance, and Ames was in a position to see what the most valuable secrets are. It is too late for me to negotiate with him for the contents of the sawdust file, a review of the treatment of a KGB official who wanted to provide information to the CIA which it didn't want so much that it rigged his lie detector tests so the results would show that he was lying even when he was telling the truth. I am inclined to believe that Ames felt that he was confronting something far more evil than his own acts when he read the case of Yuri Nosenko. In the realm of the greatest secrets, this case is mentioned on page 74 of Veil by Bob Woodward for being "one of the great CIA crimes" in the eyes of Stansfield Turner. William J. Casey "thought it weird that Turner would dwell on" the things covered by the report on the 1,277 days that Nosenko was kept in a cell "as part of some smarmy chess game played by" the agency which defines what covert intelligence really means for the United States. If you read the account of this incident by Aldrich Ames, I hope that you will feel the urge to liberate the knowledge which it contains. |

Best guitar strap you can buy | This is literally one of the most valuable things I've bought for my guitar in a long time, and I've been playing for 20 years. I had an Epi LP as a kid and whenever I played it after about an hour the whole left side of my body would be just about numb! I was always a strat guy anyway so I just sold the Epi and always said I wouldn't buy another...the sound was AMAZING (even for an Epi) but I couldn't justify buying a guitar I could only play sitting down.
Anyway, I saw Buck had one of these and I've also noticed lately I've been playing my Gibby Explorer waay more than my strat. (the Explorer was a decent solution to getting Gibson sound in a lighter guitar) As soon as I wore this with my Explorer I decided to buy a Gibson LP. The weight distribution perfect! It will almost certainly change my playing style now that I can get a LP and play it as much as I like, without worrying about becoming dependent on an axe I can't wear.
I can also tell you that, while Bucket is certainly a freak and that's why I love him, that's not why he does all those stage acts with this strap. It's impossible not too. It just feels so natural. I find myself doing Bucket style moves when playing with this strap all the time.
I can also tell you that this strap does one more thing you may not be aware of, I certainly wasn't until I wore it. The flexibility I get when playing now is unreal. I have complete control over where the guitar is in relational to my body and it lets me hit high notes faster, clearer and with more confidence. In way you could never get with a cloth strap. Get this thing...you will not be sorry. |
Pretty much a perfect Gamepad | Alright, I'll be tossing in a couple of suggestions, personal info and use, etc.
Firstly, you pretty much have to get a used one at this point, or look around on different sites that Amazon probably won't want me to mention ;)
The battery life is pretty good, though I recommend you to get Rechargeable AA batteries. The Tenergy Centura Batteries I have are working well, so I'd recommend 4 of those, at least.
Now, it might not work with all of your games, so to that I recommend a program called Xpadder. You can map your controls to do anything, from playing N64, PS2 Emulators, NES, SNES, etc. emulators, to browsing and playing your steam games in a console-like fashion, to playing older games, or games that don't support even Xbox controllers. Xpadder will give you some leeway with how you can setup controls, so I highly recommend it.
Overall, the only small issue I have is that I think the controller is a bit dated, as it has L/R "Buttons" instead of "Triggers."
For games that utilize Triggers, say, a Gamecube emulator, it does kinda suck, and I have no clue how to get around that other than to play around more with button configurations to get your controls working decently. The size, weight, sticks, and buttons are pretty good and comfortable.
The wireless adapter worked perfectly without having to download software, both on my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 computers. |
Slightly dissapointed in the quality. The star pattern changes ... | Slightly dissapointed in the quality. The star pattern changes accross the mug (maybe by design) and the entire pattern itself was out on a bit sideways (see pics). Not really the quality I would expect for the price... I could have bought a far cheaper one for these results. But it's a mug... So I figure 3 stars is fair as it will do its job. |
Pay Attention to this Book | The author is "an award winning photojournalist" and this I must admit is one of the more interesting books I have read related to spiritual formation in a long time. In other words, I really liked this book. There's something about the photograph that still captures our imagination and whether you post on Facebook, spread using Instagram, click and post from your smartphone, or put them in a frame on your wall, we want to preserve moments that remind us not just of people, but of moments, stories, and memories.
And for this reason and others, Knisley gives us a fun walk through daily life. Early on, on page 10, we find these challenging words: "There are few things we are less dedicated to than attention." Now, think about that sentence. I did. In fact, I put the book down right then and pondered what it would mean to give someone undivided attention. To give God undivided attention. To look in the eye of a loved one and have them truly know that I am not preoccupied.
Preoccupation may be the underlying disease of our day. Later on, the author states that "the real magic of the story happens in the relationship between the image and its audience." And again, Knisley is right. How we react, relate, and reflect on stories is huge in our daily life. And I can list many more quotes, but let me simply encourage you to consider picking up the book yourself. It's not a difficult read and it's not weighted down with theological jargon, instead it's like taking a walk with someone who points out what you should be slowing down to notice yourself. And that's been a gift since reading this book. In fact, it's the rare book that makes you want to read other books better and to relate to others with more attentiveness. I recommend it to anyone who is willing to slow down and give focused attention in a rather unfocused world.

one of Ketchum's best | An exceptionally involving novel, moving and intelligent and fast, with characters who are convincing and well thought out. Although Ketchum is known for his horror writing (e.g., the story "The Box"), this is, like many of his novels, a psychological thriller with horrific elements. After RED, this may be his best novel. |
since I have Pillow Paws like that, but these work fine | I expected the socks to be longer and the ribbing to be on both sides, since I have Pillow Paws like that, but these work fine! |
Can't wait for the next one | I love these books. I speed thru them as fast as they come out. Fun, light read with a little mystery and love in the mix. |
Excellent world-building and an interesting story | Lore Graham's worlds are complex and interesting, and I love the way the world-building is threaded into the plot seamlessly. I enjoyed discovering August's culture and surroundings as the story unfolded.
For the most part, I enjoyed this story. The characters and setting are interesting. Although I wanted to know more about their society, there was enough detail to keep my attention, and I didn't feel as though it were lacking. It's more that I want to see other stories set in this realm.
I liked August very much, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about his relationship with Laurence or with Maeve for that matter. I am still on the fence about the power imbalance. I don't really think August is being used, exactly, but he certainly isn't on the same level with the others. It particularly bothered me that August seemed more like he was servicing Laurence than that Laurence actually cared about him as a person, and that bothered me a bit. I was left with the impression of "we trust you and we will occasionally have you in our bed, but you're basically still a servant and should know your rightful place." It may just be a case of it not really being my thing.
Other than that, though, it was very well written. There were some nicely steamy moments, and I definitely appreciated the skill regarding the creation of this world. I hope to see more about it in the future.

Lose yourself in another's world | I was first introduced to Mark Tufo's work by a friend during a very rough time in my life. Just had gone through a divorce, lost my father, and battling some other demons so to speak. Even with everything that was going on I was able to lose myself in the inner workings of Marks mind and feel like I was living in this post apocalyptic world he created.
His works are full of real life situations and of course humor and and over the top sarcasm that fits all situations. If you have ever had random thoughts during interesting situations then you will appreciate the inner dialogue hat the main character has with himself. The fight to protect his family and help others is right in line with how I hope I would be in these situations.
In addition if you have a dark and twisted since of humor then you will also need to read Marks Timothy series. Or if you are not really into zombies then his Indian Hill series is another favorite and a great place to start your journey. |
Your Divorce Is What You Make It | As a child of divorced parents that were mostly amicable, I appreciated this perspective on divorce-- not every divorce has to be nasty. Jennifer is loud, brash, hilarious and REAL. I loved reading this book! |
Oakland Raiders Tote Bag | This was perfect for going through security at the game. It is just the right size. |
Appears to be good quality. | Fit and worked well. Pleasant warm white color. Appears to be good quality. |
Flimsy for strong chewers | Lasted less than a day before being chewed apart by my bully. |
A charming tale of humanity, with a fun happy ending | Well worth rereading, a surewto give you lots of smiles. Ukiah and Max are well built characters with charm and interest. |
Faust - 'Faust / So Far' (Collector's Choice) | In my humble opinion, this HAS to be the best 2-lp's on 1-CD released in maybe the past ten years. These two titles were previously available ONLY on some high-priced Japanese label pressing with each title, of course on a separate disc. Total of twelve tracks and a duration of 74 minutes is what sort of aural pleasure the listener(s) are in store for. The first self-titled lp, 'Faust' ('71) has just three cuts and is intensely melodic but more than anything, just downright weird for the most part. Check out the freakish "Why Don't You Eat Carrots" and the 16-minute mind scrambler "Miss Fortune". 'So Far' ('72) is a bit more toward the like of a traditional lp. Tunes like "It's A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl" and "I've Got My Car" is a fine example of how a band like Faust is able to change their tone from one album to the next. Superb reissue of an essential classic full blown krautrock title that is a must-have. Will appeal to fans of Neu!, Kluster, Can, Harmonia and Silver Apples. |
Phantom and Confessor | I like the story, and I like his characters. The story works and is well developed. What i don't like, is the authors tendancy to get bogged down in pages of describing a scene or "preaching " a message, so much so that I can scan and flip through several pages at a time until he gets back to the movement of the story. Am still reading Confessor, it moves slightly quicker, but it is his style of writing to spend pages 'describing a sunset' which annoys me. |
Not what i expected!!! | This gun did not want to shoot out hardly any of the balls. When it did shoot them out, they did not go very far or very fast. |
A Must-Buy for the Discerning Trekkie Fan -- Set Your Phasers on Stunning! | Brief review: This product is much superior to the earlier DVD version. The episodes are clearly marked on the case. The DVDs are single-sided Blu Rays.
The shows can be played with additional info playing at the same time. The menu takes some getting used to, to properly navigate, however.
You can switch between the "remastered" and the "1960s-era" versions, solving the whining by purists that their precious dorky special effects are the best. I grew up in the Sixties with a Black & White Star Trek and believe me, the remastered is better and in Blu Ray no less.
Best of all, the original Christopher Pike pilot is remastered. Plus, the pilot episode has an alternate ending!
A must-buy. |
Do not waste your money | The threaded holes for mounting in a 3.5in bracket in a case are not standard spacing and will not fit. Another reviewer pointed this out as well, but I missed that before buying. Don't waste your time. This thing is useless.
The Antec review is also correct. Tight fit in my Antec 900 case and the screw holes did not line up. Tried it in a Cooler Master hard drive mount, no good; holes did not match up. Tried it in a Dell case - fail. Same reason, holes did not match. The only case it might fit in is an old HP, but don't hold your breath.
Just not worth it. |
No suction = broken speaker | The suction cup lost suction and the speaker fell off the wall. Broken after only one use. You'd think the manufacturer would test the product to withstand a fall. I guess they didn't. The speaker sounds great, but since I was only able to use it once, I'm giving it 1 star. Very disappointed. |
Great bottle, would buy again | Great bottle, kept ice cubes all day at work, didn't sweat. Wish it was a bit larger (i.e. capacity) but 100% satisfied. Fits perfectly in my car cup holder also. |
but it's not as smooth and easy to forget | Worked well for a few months with sparse use. Now the mouse wheel is having difficulty working properly, scrolling up sometimes makes it go down and vice-versa. Sometimes it skips way too far and sometimes does not move at all. I can hold down the wheel and scroll up and down that way, but it's not as smooth and easy to forget.
Besides this, I like the general design and slimness. |
but I'm sorry Guild guy's this guitar in my opinion is better! I don't have to worry it and can ... | Even after returning the first guitar for having a bridge lifting, they let me keep the it until the replacement came and well worth it! I own many guitars one is a 76 Stratocaster, SG, Yamaha,ect., I wanted an inexpensive 12 string for a few songs that we play and this fits the bill. I have played a 1972 Guild ; which is worth 20 times this guitar, but I'm sorry Guild guy's this guitar in my opinion is better! I don't have to worry it and can just enjoy it.
PS: Butler Music Rocks! |
it don't look like the picture. | it don't look like the picture. it's too simple, too small,the price is higher. so i don't like it. any way. |
A beautiful Mother's day gift | This book was just wonderful. It made me laugh and cry and everything in between. It is about motherhood, but not some unrealistic image of motherhood. The book was real and beautiful. It is hard cover with a ribbon bookmark attached and would make a wonderful gift for just about any mother, but especially the mothers doing to everyday raising on kids right now. I highly recommend it and is my favorite read so far this year. |
This is a very good mix for pancakes and waffles | This is a very good mix for pancakes and waffles. Bruce's is the best one. Great flavored pancakes and they come out fluffy. |
Fun!! Plus: Better menus and faster leveling system | Super fun!!
My only gripe is luminous city. It makes me motion sick skating around in a "big city". Horrible camera work there. It's like fluffy cartoon Blair Witch.
But u don't get stuck there forever at least!
Fairy types are cool! New to me in playing this version. |
a worth while read and investment | This book was easy to read and understand. I have read many EKG books over the years and always had questions about different phases of the EKG. This book not only answered my questions but gave me an entirely new way of looking at EKG interpretation. It is complete and concise. I recommend it to everyone faced with having to interpret EKGs and understanding cardiac problems. |
better than I expeccted | We ordered the headset, not only did it come quickly, it is very comfortable and there were two in the package. The smaller one pictured and a larger pair with two padded ear covers |
exactly What I was looking for. | I purchased these for my boyfriend. He loves them! They dry quickly, fit very well, are true to size, and comfortable. He has worn them so often that i ordered another pair last night! ! |
my kids like this but the recommended balls only cover the bottom ... | my kids like this but the recommended balls only cover the bottom of the pit so make sure you double or even triple the balls. the other thing is the slide to get in and out is hard. i have twins that are 2 and a 3 year old and my 2 year olds cant get in and out at all and my 3 year old really struggles with it. |
Just need a little oomph for your myTouch 3G Slide with Skinomi | This is the perfect skin for my myTouch 3g Slide. Takes some patience to install. If you follow the instructions, you will be fine. Just remember to shut off your phone before you apply this skin since it does require a little bit of soapy water to adhere. I would definitely recommend Skinomi products in the future. |
works great. this really should be about 50% cheaper | works great. this really should be about 50% cheaper, but it works great so far. Very bright. |
Always a fan of OtterBox reliability and security | The case was easy to install and has given me the confidence to take the tablet on hikes, traveling, and everywhere else I go. It doesn't add much bulk overall. It actually makes the tablet easier to work with in my hands. |
Insight and Suspense, a Spell-Binding Combination | Full of insight and page-turning suspense, The Ancient Ones is a thrill and a joy to read. Lori Hines shows abundant promise as a writer. She artfully combines the flavor of Arizona with her deep understanding of the paranormal. And then she weaves it all together with amazing spiritual insight. I do not normally read novels, but Lori's insight, knowledge and story-telling ability have me hooked. I can't wait for book two, "Caves of the Watchers" to arrive. |
Audioslave Even Rocks on Piano! | Great album! Made "Getaway Car" into a piano duet with my 6-year old son! It's nice to have the full album available to play, although (obviously) some of it doesn't translate to guitar very well. |
Needed more Sensitive Tucker Moments. | I liked this easy romance read. Tucker is full of angst over his missing/dead? wife and his conflicting feelings for his really good gal pal Abby. Abby was great, she was loving, tender and always had Tucker's best interest at heart but I felt like she got the short end of the stick every time an issue came up. Tucker was allowed to act like a douche bag and make Abby feel horrible and then turn around and be forgiven way too easily because Abby was just THAT understanding?!?! Come on, that part was unbelievable for the Abby we are first introduced too.
Don't get me wrong, I liked this story for the sweet developing romance and I'm a sucker for HEA but I wanted Abby to have more of a back bone and Tucker to be more understanding and think before he spoke/acted. I wanted for sweet *sigh* he-is-the-one moments and Tucker just never delivered. |
This book deserves NEGATIVE STARS | What a horrible book! Shame on the author for writing such nonsense and shame on the publisher for perpetuating the ignorance.
CHILDREN DIE FROM MEASLES. |
Fruit infused water bottle leaves orphaned water in bottle. News at 11! | I tried this product in trade for a review and first I'll say I'm not really a flavored water person. But I decided to try this anyway. The material this is made of is heavy duty. I chopped up some fresh kiwi and shoved the chamber full and ran some water into the reservoir. After letting it sit in the fridge, I took it out and began to take a drink. It was decent as far as flavored water goes, I guess. I wonder if I'm missing something but I don't get the full attraction.
Regardless, this does what it advertises it does I guess... but I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars based on the fact that the last little bit of water (about 2 fingers worth) is left unable to drink. There's a lip at the top of the bottle that traps the rest of the water and you can. not. get. it. out. So you have to do with orphan water at the end but, if you like flavored water, perhaps that's a decent trade off? Your call. |
leni's refusal to admit guilt was off-putting | im not sure what the other reviewer is talking about. i thought this to be the most even-handed assessment of riefenstahl that i've yet read. not only that, but rother addresses most other commentaries on reifenstahl, so that this work can work also as a sort of bibliography for those who wish to read further. rother pretty much says that riefenstahl got a raw deal compared to other propaganda directors (mr. jud suess), but that she still deserved much of what she got. essentially (and, no, i don't view this as a "plot-spoiler"), says rother, riefenstahl was apolitical but still guilty (or, perhaps, guilty because she was too apolitical, that is, ambivilant enough to let the nazis use her (and i use the word "use" here loosely)). of course, rother goes much deeper into this, even broaching (but not always delving into) such topics as: is objectivity possible in documentary?, was leni an auteur, and thus not responsible for her artistic portrayals of nazis?
please understand that i'm rating this a 4, as in, this is four stars for books of this type, as opposed to, this is 4 stars in general for all categories. also, im trying to cancel out the other reviewer who must be some kind of uber leni fan. |
Very Tough, Much Stronger than PVC | I used it very heavily in half a year, charging my phone at least twice per day and usually play the phone while charging, sometimes fell asleep while the phone with the cable on my bed. Will not buy any PVC cable. |
Low E snapped before I was halfway there | I wasn't particularly rough while winding up the low E, yet the string snapped before I was an an E2 (low E = E4). Maybe you just need to be extremely ginger with Darco strings or maybe I just had bad luck, but I'll have trouble trusting them again. |
Fast read, helpful tips, no guilt! | I'm about halfway through the book and have already used some of the tips on decluttering my home and schedule. I love the authors' approach - getting readers to think about what really matters and organizing time, space, and money around that. This book does not make you feel guilty (my fear in opening it). Instead, it gives you permission to look hard at what you're doing that doesn't fit with your vision for a joyous family life and jettison what doesn't make sense. I appreciate the many mini tips from parents, as well as their acknowledgment that a good life looks different for different families. I also love hearing the authors' own stories about their challenges as parents. And I appreciate their frequent reassurances that we already are, have, and do enough for our kids. A good book for parents who want a quick read that will help you think at 10,000 feet about what you really want for yourself and your family - and then plenty of tips and resources for organizing your life to maximize that vision. |
Very good choice for the trails and everyday wear. | Great pair of boots, fit andbfeel is great and they're light; have taken them in long hikes that called for scrambling and these are very good at gripping and supporting your feet while not weighting you down. |
SYLVANIE ENERY SAVING PAR 38 FLOODLIGHT BULB 3 PACK | I haven't used any of the bulbs yet since I already had available spares, but I don't see any reason to doubt that these bulbs will work just fine. |
Disappointed..WAY too small! | NOT pleased. First, the socks Id selected are not the ones that were sent! Second, they are EXTREMELY small! I have my 23-month-old in the size that says its for 3 to 5-year-olds (I figuring I would get some longevity with them) and although the length fits her well they are so tight-fitting on her skinny legs that I cant imagine anyone being comfortable in them for any length of time. The quality seems good and they wash well which is why Im giving two stars however, I don't recommend purchasing them. |
Thee Minimalist shoe! | Favorite shoes. They look minimalist and last a long time definitely for the price. I buy a pair or two yearly. Hoping that this company stays in business for years to come. |
A lone voice in the wilderness | My experience with is that if it's an OXO product, I buy it and have not been disappointed--until now!
These bowls are ok, but that's about it. They're thin; they have no substance, no heft. I got them to replace an old, similar set that are easily twice as thick. Granted, my old plastic bowls are probably full of BHA, BHP and all kinds of BS, but I didn't buy them to eat. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a better product, so these will do. Maybe I'll spend a lot more and go for stainless steel. |
Don't waste your money | I bought these markers so I can use on my laminated calender but they right so ugly and are not saturated enough so you can't even read it upclose, stick to EXPO!!! |
Nice caricatures ya got there | I'm starting to wish that white authors just wouldn't even include black characters because every time I've read one in a book lately, it's been a complete caricature or stereotype. Why was Ruby, the only black woman in the book, the motherly chunky mammy shoulder to lean on who called this chick MISSUS? what the everlasting eff? what year is this? and Ruby's the BOSS so why would she be calling her missus? I just can't
"Ruby is the opposite. She's got smooth latte-colored skin, a huge motherly bust, and is packed so full of common sense it's practically wafting out of her ears. The minute you're in her company, you feel saner, calmer, jollier, and stronger." Ladies and gentlemen, that is what we like to call a caricature. Black folks are the sage advisors, especially chunky black female ones. come lay on her bosom, Poppy, and tell big mama your problems. blech
The rest of the book has been detailed enough in these other reviews so I just wanted to point this out as it didn't sit well with me. |
Bones take forever to bake... over 30 ... | Bones take forever to bake...over 30 minutes. I end up taking them out of the bake a bone and putting them in the oven to finish baking them. |
Perfect for slide usage | Order these monthly. Perfect for slide usage. |
cookies broke too easily | The box came too late for my New Years party. About a quarter of the cookies were broken upon delivery and it seemed like they weren't baked as well as the kinds you get from restaurants. They cracked and broke very easily. I was still able to give some out to friends and coworkers so had some fun with it though. |
Good value, easy to apply. | Great and is working well in our kitchen as a family planner |
Get the order correct | I was led to believe that this was a pkg of filters containing the 2 filters I needed. I didn't order a c filter. Luxily for you I gave it to a friend that uses a c filter. |
Nice little french press | Works well and seems like it will hold up fine to lots of use. I would buy again for sure. |
very comfortable, good looking | first time to buy Saucony, very comfortable, good looking! |
Very easy to install and works great | Exactly what I was looking for and I couldn't buy it at any local store - even the big box stores. Very easy to install and works great. |
Not as good as the original but much better than the 1962 version | No version can beat the original 1945 "And Then There Were None" but this version is a good runner up. Oliver Reed, playing against type as the hero, heads up a good internation cast. No surprises here but competently done |
Highly entertaining travel log. | Excellent mystery and research on ancient history makes for exciting reading. Description of locations make the action come alive in the imagination of the reader.absolutely a very entertaining novel. |
Star Trek at its finest | I've always said that Deep Space 9 was the last good Trek series and was the best of them all. This book does what hasn't been done since DS9 went off the air by weaving an intricate story and does so using parts of the Star Trek universe's past. I wanted to cry at the end because I truly miss DS9, those characters, and the well written stories it gave us. I was saddened by the thought of not having any new DS9 material immediately at hand. I can only hope that more books are coming. You've got to read the Avatar and Mission Gamma books and then wrap it all up with this. You won't be disappointed. |
I love the fabric and that it closes in the front | The bra fits very well. I love the fabric and that it closes in the front. It makes it easier to put on an take off. |
THE best boot for Alaska. | I live in Alaska, and this boot is the only boot I've ever been happy with. It has an actual wool lining (meaning wool off of an actual sheep), which is the best insulator and moisture absorber, and continues to insulate even if wet. The boots are waterproof. They bend really well so they're comfortable for my wild running toddler. I wish I knew how big her foot will be every winter for the rest of her childhood, I would order a pair for every year. Please, Demar Boot Company, never stop making these. |
Great scale, no issues! | I've owned a handful of Frankford products and i have been happy with all of them. The scale is easy to use and is very accurate. I always zero every time i use it and double check it against my Dillon beam scale. So far, it's been dead-on. The only down-side I've come across is the sensitivity. Anytime the A/C is on, i can't measure powder cause it affects the scale, but I am assuming its the same for all electronic scales. |
Amazing for College Notes | These are so amazing! I can't believe I hadn't purchased them sooner, and I will definitely be buying again when mine start to run dry. They glide effortlessly over my notes for college classes, and don't smudge on my pen ink (I use G-2 pilot pens) after I let them dry for a quick minute. I will have to find the "orange" set so I can have fun with those ones too! |
very good media player | I bought one of this media players and after using it for several months I bought an another one. Both players are working very good no problems so far. They play a lot of formats. Would be better if they play mkv format too. Overall this is a very good media player for the price. |
Nice large basket... wrong color. | I like the basket. It is quite large. However it looks black in the photo but it is more of a forest green. So it doesnt really go with my kitchen. |
Great product- IF used PROPERLY! | I don't usually write reviews but felt it is needed for this product because there are so many negative reviews. And if I had read the reviews I probably wouldn't have bought this. With that said here is my review...
Product was shipped USPS, was received on time and the box was in good shape. The container I received has a black dispenser lid, (typical wet wipe dispenser lid and not the same as the product listed photo). The directions for proper loading of the dispenser lid is found on the back side of the container. The print is a good size and very easy to understand. Inside the container, the wipes were in good shape and sufficiently damp. The individual wipes are small, so you will need to use more than one. CLEANING: In the previous reviews I saw a lot of you were complaining of streaks and lint. If this is happening, the thing you are cleaning isn't clean yet or not waiting until it is completely dry. I am a smoker, so my laptop gets really grimy really fast. I had to use a bunch of these wipes the first time to get it clean. After that I used 2 wipes every couple of days. I have had no issues with streaks or lint. I use these wipes for all my small electronics. It easily does what it is intended to do. (I do not recommend this product for big screen TVs) There is just to much surface to clean.
I DO RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT ANY SMALL ELECTRONICS. Great product- IF used PROPERLY! |

Very good food, bought a case of it and when it's gone will be buying more. I use a half of can at each feeding and mix in with their dry food, they eat it all. |
Fun for the whole family! | My son, both my daughters, my husband and I all love Avatar. Some of the monsters are a little creepy, but that doesn't stop my 2 1/2 and 4 yr old daughters from watching. I think these movies are great because Aang, the Avatar, has such great character and he is kind, wise, and has integrity. I myself am not buhdist, but I believe the honor they teach in their religion is wonderful. You get all that, plus the silliness of a 10 yr old boy all on one show. It is really a fun show! |
Deliciously funny satire and whacky animation... | ...make this film one of the cartoons that please adults almost as much as their offspring.
the animation achieves a fluidity rarely seen in CGI animation and very nearly matches the masters--Warner Brothers and old Disney. The colors are bright and kid friendly, yet the dialogue, allusions and spoofs of everything from teen movies to comic books will entertain adults.
The animators have decided not to tread down the path that Pixar and SKG have gone with Toy Story and Shrek, i.e. the attempt to "copy" reality, and have, instead, pursued the outlandish whackiness that cartoons used to be known for. If some have criticized the animation, then they have been comparing apples to oranges.
We have kept our daughter (4 1/2) away from Nickolodeon because we find it generally tasteless, crass and repulsive--thus we were very pleasantly surprised at the result.
The characters are interesting and well drawn and played to the hilt by everyone involved.
One can only hope the inevitable sequels are done with as much verve and cleverness.
A couple of nitpicky items: I agree with the observations of some that Jimmy's father could be more complexly drawn. In this film he is a mere compliment (pun intended) to Jimmy's fiercely brilliant mother. It would also be a good thing for the children if there were a couple of adults (other than his mother) who were a LITTLE smarter than the actual teachers most of us had in school. To wit, Mrs. Fowl, while funny, comes across as little more than a brain damaged Flo from Alice.
Bottom line: if you're a catroon fan you'll enjoy it as much as your younger children will. |
A Helpful Scholarly Treatment | This is one of the first books I read on Christianity and the arts, and I found it very helpful. Jeremy Begbie explores the world of music and covers a lot of ground. He discusses the power of music and its important role in our daily lives. A large portion of the book is dedicated to the history of music and to the history of music theory. From the ancient Greeks to Luther, Calvin, Barth, and Bach, the book traces the prevailing theories regarding what music is and how it works. This includes both philosophy and theology. Begbie also discusses some intriguing facets of music that can aid us in the way we think about God (and the Trinity in particular). I would caution the average reader that this book is written at the scholarly level, which means that it's well researched and carefully nuanced, but this will likely be a barrier for most readers. For my brief review on this book and most of the books out there on Christianity and the arts, see: theologyforreallife.com/artsbooks |
Loved the first three | Loved the first three..the last book was ok. I liked when it focused on Lena...they may have been intoxicated when they wrote this one. |
fresh, fragrant and so much better than what you find at the grocery store. | I ordered several whole seed spices and was very pleased with their freshness. Grinding just what you need only takes a minute and the payoff is worth the effort. Shipping time was excellent and everything came well packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to order again. |
Worked great on my 2003 Dodge Neon | Worked great on my 2003 Dodge Neon, drivers side door.
The pin can rust and swell and make the door handle stick. I opted to replace only the pin since the handle matches the color of the car.
The job only takes 20 minutes. You mat need a grinder with a cutoff tool if you're going to use the old handle. |
Works well if you are using this for Wakeboards. ... | Works well if you are using this for Wakeboards. It does not work if you plan to wrap over your Surfboards. |
