They are junk don't waste your money buy a decent one the first time ... | This is a generous post. I have gone through two in two weeks if you bump into anything the plastic backing snaps off. They are junk don't waste your money buy a decent one the first time around. |
1/2 for the price of 1 | I assumed my 26 inch craftsman would work, but it takes two chains to wrap one wheel. |
Precise and useful connectors. Beautiful fountain heads | Precise and useful connectors. Beautiful fountain heads. My last one lasted 5 years, so I expect this new one to give me trouble-free service for the next 5 years+. |
Very practical advice for The Walker. | Anyone even toying with the idea of taking a very long hike should read this book. It has great advice for what to do and what not to do. Plus its pretty funny. I am now getting ready to read Mr. Coulson's book about his actual hike across America. |
My Iphone 6 with a plastic cover on it can fit inside it very nicely; the iphone 6 alone without another case would ... | This thing is huge. I bought it for my Iphone 6 and it's really not made for the Iphone 6. My Iphone 6 with a plastic cover on it can fit inside it very nicely; the iphone 6 alone without another case would be very loose inside this thing. So I suspect it was originally made for a Samsung Galaxy and it's being advertised for the Iphone 6. The leather is nice and thick and the steel belt clip is heavy duty. If you're like me and have to wear it with a scrub pants then I wouldn't recommend it because the clip digs into your skin. On the other hand, I think it would work fine for wearing it with a leather belt and jeans. I just didn't like it because it was so big and bulky. I chose to use a plastic case/cover and just carry my Iphone in my pocket rather than have this thing protrude out from under my clothes. |
My Germn Shepherd Apache catches 90% of my throws! | MY Germn Shepherd catches 90% of my throws regardless of how far or high because of the unique pliable material that allows it to gain loft and be caught in mid-air! |
The most unpleasant Apple product I've ever used | You ask why? The product I bought from the Apple store in New York if I said I did not use a total of 20 hours, you will be surprised. Why 2 stars? It is handy when it works. But if it works as I say. Even the lack of repair options is a reason enough for a single star. So your battery is dead, you have only one choice; find the nearest trash basket ... |
They love it! Good quality- not as wide as I ... | We use these to embrodier with my granddaughters. They love it! Good quality- not as wide as I hoped but a good size. WILL BUY AGAIN! |
Absolutely wonderful... | This product is Won-der-ful! I love it! Lance has pulled out all the stops on this one. I would recommend it for anyone that loves PB & Granola. Brings back memories of my Dad. FAN4LIFE!! |
Definite One Clicker!!!! | Amazing Read!!!! Everything Aurora writes is Gold and this is No Exception !!!!! I Love Sevn and Maggie!!!!!! She is kick a$$ and Sassy!!!! Loved seeing everybody again and the look into their lives!!!! Can Not Wait for Justin's Book!!!!!!! This is a Must Read with a HEA and that is Hot,Sassy,Funny, and Flipping Fantastic!!!!!!!! |
This is not my normal genre to read - but ... | This is not my normal genre to read - but since it was a Ganshert book, I couldn't resist. I was pleasantly surprised. I could NOT put it down. I am notorious for starting a book and taking weeks to finish it due to time constraints on reading or just losing interest quickly. Not so with this book. I finished it in less than a weekend and couldn't wait to start the next one. I truly have no words to describe the talent of this author - she never fails to bring a story to readers that "has something for everyone". |
Excellent for covering food products and reducing reliance on plastic | We're trying to decrease our reliance on plastic and this is one of the best ways to do it. This is a perfect size for small bowls, wrapping up that half of lemon or orange, and for keeping cheese covered. Now, I just need larger sizes! |
Another Job Well Done | I have read all of the Seal Undone stories. I initially read this story through weekly emails from Zoe York. Then I received a copy of the story to review as part of an ARC group in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed Piper and Miles story. They meet while Miles stops to see his Aunt on the way to another mission. Their story unfolds through the phone and emails while hes away so they really get to know each other and end up falling in love. I couldn't put the book down once I started. |
Christmas Bliss was a very enjoyable book. | I liked the book very well because the author skipped around with the characters. I would recommend the book to anyone. |
Delightul family-friendly TV series, my favorite!! | This great family-friendly series brings back great memories from my childhood; I would definitely consider this my favorite TV show of all time! Each episode is full of sweet moments, family life, exciting adventures, beautiful scenery, and much more. The content of these is minimal: it's a very family-friendly series, with only a few episodes with some objectionable content (like the Witches of Avonlea episode in this season).
The storyline centers around Sarah Stanley, who comes to Prince Edward Island when her father is accused of embezzlement to live with relatives in a little town called Avonlea. As she struggles to accept her new life and get along with her strict Aunt Hettie, her stuck-up cousin Felcity King, & tormenting cousin Felix King, Sarah must accept the changes in her young life. But not everything is bad: small town life can be loads of fun, and her new Aunt Olivia is wondeful!
Check out this amazing series produced by Sullivan in Canada, the same company who brought up "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea" in the 90's with Megan Follows. Aired in the U.S. under the title "Avonlea" on the Disney Channel, you will enjoy watching these fantastic episodes again and again! My favorite episodes from this season include: "How Kissing Was Discovered," "May the Best Man Win," and "It's Just a Stage"...
Season Two contains the following episodes:
1. Sara's Homecoming
2. How Kissing Was Discovered
3. Aunt Hetty's Ordeal
4. Of Corsets and Secrets and True True Love
5. Old Quarrels, Old Love
6. May the Best Man Win
7. Family Rivalry
8. Sea Ghost
9. All That Glitters
10. Dreamer of Dreams
11. It's Just a Stage
12. A Mother's Love
13. Misfits and Miracles |

Exactly what we needed | Exactly what we needed to replace the broken propane sensor. |
Kiss Hollywood Good-By | I am an Anita Loos fan. I love reading her books & books about her. Talk about Interesting... A woman of contradiction... I also love to read about the Rich & Famous of Old Hollywood. Lynne from Sellersville. |
I love the thickness of these beefy shirts | I love the thickness of these beefy shirts. Also, my vinyl adheres well, I would definitely use this product again. |
Does not address the flaws in Mann's methodology | Self-interested climate industry blowhards are right up there in the credibility department with hari Krishnas, heaven's gate cultists, and the chemtrails people: none. Most people blow off these kooks. Michael Mann wants to go back to the old days when his name was not a punchline.
The book was published in 2016 by the long-discredited professor, still the hero of his own story.
It amazes me that one of the climate industry's biggest deceivers is publishing a book, straight-faced, about how the public is being lied to. I kept expecting each chapter to in some way address his critics and the public deception he has been perpetrating, but his fallback position is that people who point out flaws in his methodology are all in the pay of Big Oil.
Michael Mann is the archbishop of nonsense. Here's a guy who draws a government paycheck, but who falsifies data, refuses FOIA requests, and sues his critics. He can't understand why people won't convert to his kooky religion. How can he get richer on fat government funding if no one converts to Ecopathism anymore?
In order to call it science, we need three things:
1) open data
2) reproducible results
3) predictive ability
The climate hysterics do not clear the bar for being called scientists. They would like to be believed based on their credentials, rather than their results.
The book sets up strawmen instead of presenting the climate skeptics' real views. Apparently, people who resist his nutty religion are heretics in the pay of oil companies. Burn the witches! |
Product not made very well | I put 1 pillow and 1 throw in it, not yet full, put it under the bed, grabbed the handle to pull it out and the handle broke. I am not impressed. I am going to try Rubbermaid, hopefully that one is more durable. |
Safe, easily stored & a great teaching tool! | As I look for more food safe & easily stored items these measuring cup are great! My granddaughter loves the colors & is interested in anything I do with them. So they are also a great teaching tool. I purchased two sets & gifted them to my children. Thank u for a great product & quick delivery |
Characters Continue to Stretch and Grow | Although the important components of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency remain the same (ethical behavior, love of Botswana, etc.) the characters continue to stretch and grow and delight us, as always. Charlie is still getting into trouble but somehow we sense that the tentacles of maturity are beginning to reach him. Mma Makutsi's shoes, the Greek Chorus extraordinaire, are warning her about the problems of management in her new restaurant, but how many of us really listen to our shoes? And another mystery is solved to the satisfaction of characters and readers. Now I must wait for the next installment although I would not mind beginning from Book One again. |
Double hinged corkscrew | Outstanding and very functional. So far all corks have been removed perfectly. No more broken ones and very easy to use. |
Living in Chicago, I Feel No Connection to This Game | I own the game but have only played it for 30 minutes. And this is on multiple days where I had to force myself to give it a try. The game is too easy and the story is so unengaging. The story and side missions are soo confusing also. Where did aliens get into the side story of the game? I just don't know where to start. You do not need amazing graphics. I been gaming since the NES days and I'm a hardcore gamer but this is just boring. With that said, we all play differently but if you can't relate to my review, give the game a try for yourself. |
The Annotation of a Classic - Part 2 | The classic off The Maryland Campaign of September 1862 has long been considered a classic in military literature but something which has been missing in the document is annotations. Upon reading primary sources, there are some questionable things which have been written in these accounts, but with a good annotation, the errors are corrected and sources properly. Thomas G. Clemens has provided these annotations and are an excellent way to re-read this classic.
Ezra Ayres Carman was born in Oak Tree, New Jersey and attended the Western Military Academy in Kentucky. During the Civil War, he fought with New Jersey units and faced some of the fiercest fighting throughout the war including the Battle of Antietam. After the war, he was appointed to the Antietam National Cemetery Board of Trustees and the Battlefield Board. Thomas G. Clemens has spent years studying the Maryland Campaign and gained his doctorate at George Mason University. He has written a myriad of magazine articles and has appeared in documentaries along with being a licensed tour guide at Antietam National Battlefield. Also, he is an instructor at Hagerstown Community College and also founded the Save Historic Antietam Foundation.
Much of volume one deals with the Battle of South Mountain and the process of reaching the battlefield of Antietam. Without volume one, volume two does not make much sense but both works stand as classics. In order to appreciate the full context of Carmans work, both volumes need to be read and with Clemens annotations aid the work in the best way possible. Thomas G. Clemens has performed a labor of love and his notes on the Battle of Antietam are quite extensive. Throughout the text, there are quite a few good historic maps and the text is also fueled with many good photographs of the field. The Battle of Antietam is one of the most terrifying experiences from the Civil War and is considered the bloodiest day in American history. In all of the works on the battle, there are few which do not mention the work done by Ezra Carmen and since he was present at the battle, the primary source can be seen as more accurate than others. Without the words of Clemens, there could be some confusion on the part of the reader not quite familiar with the battlefield of Antietam or the rest of the Maryland Campaign.
The Maryland Campaign of September 1862 Volume II: Antietam, stands on its own as a great work of Civil War literature, but is more appreciated with both volumes. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the Maryland Campaign or is just interested in the Battle of Antietam. This in depth work by a Civil War veteran brings the horror of the battlefield to the reader and the annotations of Clemens bring academia to the work. These two volumes will be hailed as the greatest edition of Carmans work and a great addition to the annals of Civil War history.

Glad to have found Zuzka leading Jumproping routines | I honestly just got into Zuzana or Zuzka, as she is nicknamed. I started with Zuzka Light Kettlebell, just a month ago(Nov. 2015) Then I researched her other videos & found ZRopes. I do jump roping, & had been trying to find new routines that would keep me interested. motivated, & be short, to incorporate prior to other weight training, or kettlebell routines I will do. I also know I will love these routines, & already love Zuzka's personality. She is very motivating. & I probably would like any of her workouts on DVD, but I will stick with ZRopes, & ZCut Kettlebell. for now. I look forward to other workouts of Zuzka, when I am ready for them. |
An absolute revelation! | Thanks to Dancing with Jesus, I am a born again dancer! The dances are well described, with easy to follow instructions and colorful illustrations. It is truly a miracle! |
Mediabridge Ultra Series HDMI Cable | Just as good if not better that the Monster Cable brand at a fraction of the price. This makes my 6th cable and no problems what-so-ever. |
Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve themselves in ... | Clear and simple concepts on becoming more efficient and reaching personal goals. I started applying the information Michael shares after having only read a few chapters. The ideas build and compound in usefulness on each other but they can also stand alone incase you agree with some ideas but disagree with others. I am now having my sons read the book, one is in high school and the other in college. If I had read this book when I was their age I would have had a huge advantage on my personal life goals. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve themselves in any area of life. |
Just like it's advertised | Layer cakes truly bakes even and flat! Just like it's advertised! |
Holmes & Russell find themselves in a family way | Part of a series based on the retirement years of Sherlock Holmes and his young wife Mary Russell, this volume is the first of a two volume story that is completed in The God of the Hive.
Holmes and Russell come home from seven months abroad to find one of his bee hives has died out and that he is the father to a grown man. Waiting for them is young Surrealist artist Damian Adler, Holmes' son by Irene Adler, who was his opponent in Arthur Conan Doyle's story "A Scandal In Bohemia." Having outwitted Holmes in the Doyle short story, Laurie King creates this account based on the premise that Irene outsmarted Holmes a second time by keeping from him the existence of their love child Damian.
This first volume outlines the rocky beginnings of a relationship between the three unlikely family members, a retired detective, his young protégée and wife, and his war-scarred son. Damian needs his father's help and Mary gets drawn in to a family that keeps growing as we learn of Damian's wife Yolanda and 3 year old daughter Estelle. Yolanda's involvement in spiritual pursuits draws the newly united family into a confrontation with a religious leader whose penchant for human sacrifice threatens all their lives. Holmes brother Mycroft also plays a significant role in this family drama.
If you have followed the relationship between Holmes and Russell since their first meeting, this is a wonderful addition that adds depth to their characters and an exciting adventure that King fills with details of the time and place. Just be prepared to face the words "to be continued" as the story reaches a climax. The God of the Hive will be required reading for anyone who enjoys this book. |
Disappointed in purchase | Trees do not come as they appear pictured floor to ceiling. Disappointed in purchase, only kept for the deer decals |
Excellent value. Love Frontier Co-op! | I was so impressed with the dark red color, freshness and quality! When served very cold, it can't be beat! The tanginess of this beverage gives it a certain drinkability which is very satisfying when thirsty. I paid only $10 including free shipping for my hibiscus tea purchase. Spectacular value and I keep going back for more. Frontier co-op's quality and unbeatable prices are superb. This stuff is seriously even better than the hibiscus flowers I brought back from overseas! I am 58 years old and never knew about hibiscus tea until I discovered it while sailing on a felucca boat on the Nile River, in Luxor Egypt. There is a pleasant zestless to these hibiscus flowers. I like to include the Delish brand 3-inch cinnamon sticks for simmering. Though strong to begin with, since it is such an outstanding value and inexpensive, I do not skimp when using, throwing in a good handful with each 2 quart batch, making it nice & strong. The longer you seep it, the more flavorful it becomes; being infused with quality, natural polyphenols beneficial to health. Healthy and refreshing, it enhances my day; helping me feel good. I hope Frontier does not raise its prices once word gets out about how awesome this stuff is! Seem to be getting hooked shopping online and bumping into great deals such as this, where you can not find in the store. Ever since Amazon lowered minimal charge of only $25 for free shipping, I have suddenly been spending more money, ensuring a I get maximum value. |
Saved me from cables but makes me buy batteries | Great idea, super useful, relable connection. Short battery life. Needs an auto-off. |
Large and sturdy enough to keep our dogs out | I wasn't certain about the price tag at first, but after a month of use I am very pleased with results and recommend it to everyone. I'll make up the cost in g t owing worms for our chickens, fishing, and having quality compost for the garden! |
nice, if you're a cowboys fan ;) | We purchased these with difficulty as I am a broncos fan lol...however our Pastor, bless his heart is a cowboys fan, so we got these for him as a gift and he really enjoyed them. |
I enjoyed this memoir | I enjoyed this memoir. Alexandria made me feel like I was right there in Africa with her. So descriptive. A bit depressing at times, but life there could be. To her is was really home, even though she didn't think it most times. I hope to see more books from ths author. |
Reasonably good stitching and material at a sweatshop/slave-wage price | My nine-year-old loves it. Reasonably good stitching and material at a sweatshop/slave-wage price. Ain't globalization grand? |
Will work great for a while but cheaply | I have samsung TV, phone but I will never buy a samsung blu ray player again! they break or samsung does not stay current with blu ray firmware. If you are looking to buy this for netflix blu rays you will have issues as netflix uses a codec that is not supported on some of their blu ray discs.
Also the warranty is really short on samsung blu ray players and WHEN not if you have an issue you will have to pay for repair only to have to have it repaired again.
DO NOT BUY!!! Will work great for a while but cheaply made |
Thank You Adam and GOM | The book has so much good stuff. After reading your comments about the book, I thought there was going to be a lot of reiterating sigils, but there is so much more and getting money out of the blue worked with my first try!!!!!!!. Unreal !!!, Thank you Adam and GOM!!!!!!!!!!... |
Very pretty great price. | This bra is very pretty. It fits nice. I am a 32DDD I have a very hard time finding bras that fit and are pretty. This bra does both. Gives me the support I need without looking like or feeling like a steel cage. |
My all time favorite new parent gift. | So wrong and so true.
Wait until the baby is a few months old so the parents can seriously relate. |
Rich in content interjected with real experiences | The book is very useful and eye-opening for aspiring authors like me. I would have liked to read Author, Publisher and Entrepreneur but this book felt closer to my heart because of the title- easy to understand and make me feel that writing is doable just like washing the laundry (wash, rinse and repeat.) Of course it is easier said than done. Nonetheless, providing me with such an idea, it gives me better hope. Further, the testimonial-style of writing by the authors (informal at that) - like their talking to me was more down-to-earth and convinced me more that my dream to be an earning writer is possible. Lastly, the content was full of lessons on the self-publishing landscape in terms of the business, its tactics and the audience.
I would recommend this to the aspiring writers not only for what you will learn about self-publishing (because probably you already know it) but of the rich experience interjected in those lessons that make you finish the book sure of your own success if you do your homework! |
Gavin Degraw is rockin.. | Gavin Degraw is a very talented man. He has blown away people at local concerts and WB PEPSI SMASH. His new album "Chariot" is amazing and its full of great songs. My favorite song will be "Follow Through". I also like all of them. This is a very deep album and full of emotion. Gavin will rock your world.. |
Robert Englund is back and scary as ever! | I wasn't expecting much from "Inkubus," so was pleasantly surprised (or is the right word, "horrified!") to see Robert Englund turn in an incredible performance which left me looking away from the screen only a couple of times (o.k., there are a couple of rather gross scenes in the film).
I recommend "Inkubus" for any fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street Films and horror flicks in general! |
The best necklace I've ever owned. | I absolutely love this necklace! Its great! I'm going to wear it until it dies. I appreciate that the chain is black rather than cheap silver because this way it won't tarnish like most other cheap jewelry. I get compliments on it from Naruto fans and non fans that have no idea what it is and just think its a cool necklace. |
It's a nice looking set | The grinder set arrived promptly. It's a nice looking set. It grinds smoothly and the grind fineness is easy to adjust. |
Entertaining, but use caution with the little ones! | Quite entertaining even for adults. We watched it with our three and a half year old granddaughter, it was a bit scary at times for her. Use caution when watching with the little ones! |
Good working receiver | This is a very good working, high quality receiver. It makes most any speakers I have plugged into it sound well. I have yet to have any problems with Internet, HDMI, or anything else. There are a few things about it that could really use improvement though. Such as the graphics on the menus look very old and outdated compared to onkyo. The YPAO setup could really use improvement too, seeing as how it never seems to get my speakers set up quite right and it gets different results every time I do the test when I changed nothing. One thing that drives me crazy about it is that there are no cruiser/skip/menu buttons on the front of the receiver to I have to always use the remote to select a station or skip a song on pandora. The DSP setups also seem to be a little inconsistent and finicky. At this price point, the receiver should of came with wifi. But it is a very powerful, capable and nice sounding receiver. You have to read the directions to be able to work it properly. I would recommend this product. |
Get it for the smart cover, but look for a more sturdy case. | The over worked perfectly and held up to lots of usage. Wish I could say the same for the very thin case. I dropped my iPad on a desk chair less than 2 feet and the edge of the case cracked and split and a piece came off. |
Oversized for the phone | It gets the job done, but the phone is extremely loose inside the case. Perhaps if you used it to hold ID and credit cards inside the case, it would seem a little more "fitted". |
Order wasn't as pictured. The one shown was white ... | Order wasn't as pictured. The one shown was white and that is the one I ordered but mine arrived in grey and black. Not what I wanted but it fits my car (mazda6). |
Definitely Worth Reading | Even though this story was short, it wasn't lacking anything. There was suspense, humor, surprise, romance, and of course, vampires! There was some steam, but it wasn't drawn out and the sex was "off camera". The heroine is strong and I loved that I would have reacted the same and made the same choices she did, or at least I hope I would have! The hero is someone that I would have disliked, if not for the fact that we know what he is thinking. In case you have been disappointed with other stories, this one has a HEA and there aren't any cliff hangers. |
PERFECT, this tent was thought through thoroughly | PERFECT, this tent was thought through thoroughly, 2 manned? i could fit several people in here, at least children, or 2 to 4 adults easy, no camping bedding however, so add those, not soft, but stands up to rain and mild winds, hide from dogs and people, i bought the blue one, and is nice looking, needs camoflauge and ghillie suit 3d leafy options, with a blind consideration cor wildlife cover would be nice, otherwise, this is a decent buy, i bought mine $13.43, and is a $40.00 value almost, way COOL!!!
If no ghillie add camo netting over this one, and don't forget your poly rope, or ropes, to tie from one tree to another if the awkward poles don't work, or bend, or adjust, those poles can be stiff and need be flexible and strong both simultaneously all the time.
A scent lok version added would be nice as well.
Camo options should be all weather, snow, and woodland.
Also my pole broke, string came right up, however, when that happens makes tent pole easier to bend, just snap back in place at bottom if was that pole, or anywhere, make secure even if you black, and or duck tape, tie with polyrope, and readjust, bend, and went right up first time, some of you are gonna wanna know that.
These are the old tents we used as teens with the tent poles as termed, im 35, but still a classic tent |
Discovering The U-Boat that was not There | This film is one of the most interesting and suspenseful documentaries I have ever witnessed. Remember however the director of the film is telling the viewer "A Truth" but not necessarily "The Truth." In this case however the Truth develops right before our eyes as the film progresses. There is also great loss & sadness attached to the story and actually also develops during the filming of the docu. The crews quest to find the number of the U-Boat develops higher and higher as each minute passes and the historical records that exist have no info or bearing on where the boat is actually geographically located. There is tragic loss of life trips to Germany to visit the U-Boat Historical Document Museum to check double check and triple check the historical documents that already exist. There is drama suspense excitement sadness and so many more moments of emotional excitement. One of the very best for sure. PS Comma key no longer works. |
Has some nice moments. | I wish people would get their facts straight. Actually it was Robben Ford's explosive soloing on Joni Mitchells song "In France They Kiss On Main Street" (from "The Hissing Of Summer Lawns") that turned heads in his direction NOT this album.
I first heard this record by means of Alexis Korners superb UK radio programme in the 1970s.
It has some great moments ("Tee Time For Eric" & "Magic Sam") but as is the case for 70s jazz fusion albums some of the songs tend to wander aimlessly and are just an excuse to egotrip.
Robben's a great musician but he isn't an original. He comes distinctly from the Mike Bloomfield school of Blues guitar via a stint with Miles Davis (from whom he picked up alot of his free form ideas).
"Talk To Your Daughter" was a far more consistant album than this one. |
Made my system unbootable | True Image Home has a Clone Drive tool I've used before to upgrade my system drive to a larger disk. Has worked for me in the past. In this case I was upgrading my data drive from a 2TB MBR to a 3TB GPT drive (GPT is used on any drive over 2TB). The documentation and the knowledge base articles on Acronis site suggested GPT was supported. I bought the program, installed it, and started the clone drive operation. It gives me two options for the clone--clone to a 2TB MBR on the 3TB drive losing 1TB of space, or expand to a 3TB GPT. I pick the latter. It says clearly what it is going to do, e.g. clone the drive to a GPT version. I click okay.
Since some Windows files were in use, it told me it needed to reboot my system to complete the operation. I clicked Okay. System never came up again.
Boot with a Windows CD. Recover System. Nope. No system partition on drive. Wow. Okay.
Go through Chat with Acronis. They tell me GPT is in fact NOT supported, despite the clear language in the program and the fact that it attempted the operation. They walk me through the same steps attempting to recover the system, but they don't know even as much as I do, and nothing works.
This despite the fact that before I did all this I used Acronis to create a "Recovery CD". Apparently that isn't worth much unless you've got a backup.
Thought since I wasn't touching my windows drive, and in fact only making a copy of my data drive I didn't need to make a backup. Oh well, time to reinstall Windows.
AVOID. |
It looks very nice in gray | It looks very nice in gray. Have received compliments on its looks. I love that it has many pockets - two front under magnetic clips and one zipped at the back. Two more zipped pockets inside.
Two things that I don't like about it - (1) the material is very stiff. It definitely does not have the soft pliable feel of leather (it is synthetic as stated in the product description. (2) The long strap is too skinny and uncomfortable when carried in the cross-body style. It is perfect for someone who likes to carry their purse over the shoulder but definitely for those who prefer to carry cross-body. |
Great Classic Tales from Amazing Writers | Great Spider-Man story telling by various writers and artists, but for me, my favorite part is the beginning of the Stern/Romita Jr run on the title featuring Spider-Man's encounter with the unstoppable Juggernaut. Some of the best Spidey-writing your will ever see. |
Good Fit, Fair Price. | Item fit my 2005 CBR600RR as described. This is the heavier 525 Chain and Steel rear sprocket. Fitment was right and the bike feels much better. For those of you wondering if a steel rear sprocket "will slow you down" it will by milliseconds on the track. Steel is stronger and will last longer. D.I.D. chains are renowned and the steel sprockets are the bonus in this kit. |
a gem that will move you and make you think.. | Of all the depictions on film of the crucifixion of Christ, I find this one the most harrowing...it's wrenching as well as uplifting, and the always wonderful Lothaire Bluteau is extraordinary as Jesus in the passion play, and as the actor who won't compromise his art for commercial success, and starts to acquire aspects of Jesus' character into his own.
On a lighter note, the "hot" dubbing scene early in the film is hilarious, and there are many other extremely humorous parts. The talented ensemble cast is superb, as good in the comedy as in the drama.
Perhaps this is not a film for those with strict beliefs, but if you can accept diverse views, it will move you on many different levels. |
I've used these two lights on my running vest, ... | I've used these two lights on my running vest, and it's bright and I had no issue with it falling off or batteries dying out. |
Excellent alternative for a vent less heat source | Excellent alternative for a vent less heat source. Fuel is a little pricey but overall good concept. Install was easy but one of the screws weren't long enough for the fake logs on top. |
Short and ankles didn't fit as closely as I would have liked. | The leggings didn't fit me well. The shape was odd, and and the leggings were a little short. I'm 5'9". The ankles could have for more closely but maybe the fact that they were short is what caused the ankles to not fit right. |
The best bicycle multi-tool | Replaced all of my other bicycle multi-tools. Was a nice surprise to include tire irons. Very well made. |
Great Solution for Multi-Component Systems | I researched several remotes looking for a solution to control multiple devices (AV Receiver, cable box & smart TV) and simplify using these devices so my wife could watch TV, steam movies, etc. without my help. This system is unique (wifi / home network based) and the reviews were mixed - especially regarding setup. Being somewhat tech savvy I decided to give it a try.
I found it very easy to setup by following the steps in the minimal instructions which came with the unit. I easily added all my current components via the Iphone app, set up activities (i.e. TV) which automatically powered on the correct devices, switched to the correct input, etc. and it even lets me customize the Logitech remote as needed. I can operate all my equipment from the remote or my Iphone and my wife loves it. I haven't tried any of the other capabilities (operating smart lights, dimmers, etc.) but it looks pretty straight forward.
I really like and recommend this product. |

I don't like having glass in the bathroom if I can help it so this was perfect. |
They are a nice pair of Japanese chopsticks | These are NOT plastic, they are lacquered wood. They are clearly NOT made in China. They are a nice pair of Japanese chopsticks, end of story. |
After reading and watching so many reviews I went with this smart watch mainly because I just wanted an extension of ... | Before I decided on the pebble time round I looked into the android wear watches and the Apple Watch. After reading and watching so many reviews I went with this smart watch mainly because I just wanted an extension of my phone on my wrist not another smaller phone, I also wanted something that was low profile so I could wear it at work in a professional environment and it paid off when I hear people say "I didn't realize that was a smart watch", usually followed by them telling me how nice it looks. I have found enough watch faces and apps to keep me satisfied with it, the only feature I wish it had was a such assistant like Siri or Google Now. there's an app that uses Bing but it only works maybe 1% of the time if that.
Over all I'm very happy with the watch, the battery last me 2.5 to 3 days and it charges from 20%-100% in about 30 minutes. I also wear it at night and it's very light and It doesn't really bother me. It vibrates when the alarm goes off and my wife stays sleep in the morning.
Negatives - I'm using mine with iOS and it works fine but I also used it on Android and what I prefer on android is that I can reply to SMS via voice to text on it. The strap that came with it is already showing a lot more wear than expected for only 3 weeks of use but I planned on replacing it anyways so it's not really a big deal. The final annoying thing is that I wish it was water proof like the other pebbles, I'm a father of 2 very active kids and I wish I was able to swim with this watch but it's only splash resistant. the pebble time Steel is rated for 3 ATMs (30 Meters) if I remember correctly.
If I could go back in time and choose something different, I would still choose this watch.
Update: I forgot to mention that on iOS if you're having issues with the Bluetooth disconnecting make sure that the pebble app is running in the background. I keep it running all the time and I've had no disconnects unless I walked away too far.
02 Feb 2016 Update: after owning my Pebble for over a month now I am very happy with it but on iOS I really do miss the voice to text replies that are available if you pair this with an Android phone. I've also encountered some apps that do not work on iOS but do work on Android (I also own an android phone that I don't use often). The biggest let down so far is a spec of dust I noticed the other day under the glass of mine, after taking a closer look and being in denial I noticed that there was another smaller spec of dust that's not as noticeable. You can only see both with a black background, which is my favorite background color unfortunately. I have contacted Pebble and they quickly responded requesting a picture as proof. I did look into the certifications again and realized that this watch is only rated for water resistance and NOT DUST RESISTANCE so Pebble technically doesn't have to do anything about it since they never claimed that it was resistant to dust. I still love my watch and as much as it annoys me to have that dust under the glass I still love this watch and could live with out it but I rather not. |
when you look at products on amazon and your intuition ... | when you look at products on amazon and your intuition says no-no...........run away fast. XYZ products are pathetically lacking. bought this hand scanner-software won't even upload on my computer/ have a XYZ 3d printer, more than half the scans ive done have been total failures (remember about $30 or more for printing media).The time and money Ive put into this junk-I might as well flushed my $$$$ down the toilet. I took a chance and got burned badly. doesn't even rate one star. NEVER, NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY (xyz), YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR MONEY AGAIN- |

Love the rotating weeks | Exactly what I needed. Love the rotating weeks. Pen is hard to remove without white board spray and I wish the weeks were bigger. |
Weak measuring cup handles | I love the colors on the cups and spoons, but the handles of the cups are not as strong as I was expecting - the handle actually bent when I was scooping out brown sugar. |
This woman could be me | This book is like Rebecca of Sunnybrook farm gets her comeuppance, but in a good way...couldn't get it through the library fast enough, so I had to buy the kindle version. Sort of a storybook ending, but the growth and changes she underwent were not dependent upon this. She achieves a positive outcome for her and her boys despite (because of?) the lack of a partner. Even if you aren't about to "lose the farm" I think many can identify with the author's struggles. |
Very Nice and fits my Bersa Thunder Plus well | Very Nice and fits my Bersa Thunder Plus well. The plus is a little thicker but this holster works fine. |
Buy This, don't listen to the negativity | No idea why people are complaining about this game. I did play fifa 13 religiously lol and other soccer its obviously better on Xbox One but thats expected. For cheapsters like me Fifa 14 for 360 is an absolute BLAST. The game play is so much better realistic wise. So happy i got this for a great price & fast shipping. |
This was a good book. However | This was a good book. However, it was a book that touched upon several major memory topics. To delve further you were suggested to purchase other books by this author to get indepth knowledge about memory techniques. I would suggest buying the actual memory books by this author and save some money and forego this book. |
Great family fun game | very fun party game but not as interactive as my other party games. |
You must have one of this if you have an 8" lenovo tablet. | I Love it !!! it perfectly fits my Lenovo tablet, easy to set and it works pretty good. the best part is the price. |
Great folk songs for children | Be aware that this will only work on older Macs (Classic and older) and Windows machines. However, the 15 audio soundtracks can be uploaded to iTunes. Great old folk songs for children! |

Armada Pro 300 is a winner! | When I ordered the Pro 300 I hoped it would be sufficient for a residential system as it was advertised. My lawn sprinkler system has ten zones so it has ten valves. I did not get a map of the sprinkler system when we bought our 16 year old house. I did not know where any of the valves were buried. I ordered the Armada Pro 300, read the short but concise manual and within two hours, including breaks, found all the buried valves. This device is well worth the money. It can also find buried power lines, coaxial TV cables, phone lines, etc. I'm not the easiest to please but I could not be happier with the Armada Pro 300 wire and valve locator. I have been pleased with every thing I have purchased from or through Amazon.com. I quickly found valves that had been covered by grass for years. This system is simply to operate yet very effective. Just make sure you read the manual and disconnect all the common wires and search wires from your electronic sprinkler controller so you don't damage it. The Pro 300 is affordable and should be on every sprinkler system owner's wish list. |
Old Standard with memories. | Reading this old standard to the grandchildren is really something they will remember. The gift of the book to a child is also a long term memory to save and pass on. |
They look like leather. | I have boots in every color from sbicca. These weren't as high of a wedge as my others. They are very comfy. Eventually, the outer layer will peel off the boots, but only after many wears. They look like leather. ,,tons of compliments on these and their other fringe, wedge boots. |
What is the purpose here? | Books should have a purpose -- some sort of higher level thinking strategy emphasized or the introduction of knowledge that is essential for becoming a well-rounded American. I'm not sure why I would want to read my child this book. It could have been so much more. |
Exceeded my expectationd | A friend recommended I get this headset after trying at least 3 others within a month. Some had horrible microphones, others did not work at all, and the last headset I had tried before this had a good mic but it died within two weeks.
My friend finally told me to get this headset as he owned one in the past and was the best for the money. I could not believe that such a good headset could cost this little compared to others that I had paid over $100 for.
The sound is good (actually very good) but the most important aspect for me was being able to be heard clearly and it does this very nicely.
Another plus is that the headset is analog, no USB adapter that cause issues. This went well with my Creative Xonar audio card and amp. I highly recommend this combo. |
Perfect for 4-7 bedtime reading with Mom or Dad | I will agree with another reviewer that the illustrations are not the best. The stories however are the perfect length for the end of the night bedtime routine.
My daughter was dissapointed at first that the Twelve Dancing Princesses was not the recent "Barbie" addition, but soon found the original story to be just as enjoyable. I liked that she was able to hear the classic tale.
A great mixture of stories that I highly recommend. |
Smells wonderful and is NOT a fake | I ordered this for my husband since this has been his cologne for years and recently run out. BTW I love how it smells! It smells sooo good! It's definitely the real deal. This comes in a big bottle and won't run out anytime soon. I bought it for 30-something dollars so that was a good deal because at a mall, perfume store, etc. I would have paid lots more for the same product. Thanks Amazon! |
A RESOURCE FOR LIVING | The traditional institutional rituals that have served throughout history, do not address the newly evolved personal needs of many of us in the 21st century. In "Ritual As Resource", Dr. Picucci has re-created ritual as a dynamic personal resource to energize and transform our daily life. He teaches us the techniques for body and mind that we can use to achieve tranquil feelings of aliveness and ecstatic self-transcendence. The exercises in this are used to bring strength and resilience to our living. |

Excellent replacement hardware | Simple, yet elegant. Heavy, good quality. Screws fit well and worked perfectly for my cabinets and drawers. Very happy with this product. |
Appalled by the terrible conditions of calves | I started this book on a Friday night, and finished it by Sunday night. This is the first fiction book I have read in quite awhile; I normally stick to non-fiction.
The story surrounds a compassionate raccoon named Persimmon and her friends. She first witnesses the acute cruelty of humanity when she visits a veal farm at the edge of her forest. Appalled by the terrible conditions of calves, she assembles a team to free them. Persimmon learns that veal farms are not the only instance of suffering, and freeing captive animals is much more complicated than it seems. Throughout the book, Persimmon and her team encounter the atrocities of a fur farm and a circus. This book tackles issues of compassion, suffering, and animal cruelty through a group of woodland critters. It also addresses the divide of animal activism: violent or peaceful. While this is a young adult novel, the topic of animal suffering and captivity is intrinsically brutal. Over the course of 470 pages, I was crying at least 300 of them.
This is a work of fiction, but the reality of animal suffering by the hands of humans is very real. Especially in the conditions met in the book: veal farms, fur farms and the circus. For a second, I worried about the age appropriateness of the book due to brutality and cruelty described, but I remember back to when I was first introduced to the truths of animal commodification in the United States. It was more than 12 years ago when I stopped eating meat, and I know it was a truth that I only wished I had learned of sooner. Soon after I learned about the dairy industry, fur/leather, and the animal entertainment industry. Becoming vegetarian was one of the biggest decisions of my life, and choosing to live as compassionate as possible altered the course of my future in more ways than just my diet.
Children and teens have a right to make decisions about what they consume, and they deserve access to the truth, no matter how ugly it is. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in how animals are treated in the United States, and to anyone who is interested in animal rights and liberation. |
This Italian-American is not impressed... | OK, this was a free download, so I shouldn't be too hard on this book. But, I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the downloads thus far so my disappointment is pretty big with this one.
I had high hopes when I read the prologue and there were mob references. As an Italian- American myself, I love stuff like this. Even if it tends to be cliche and somewhat stereotypical.
After getting into the first chapter, however, I started getting confused. Was this a romance or Christian story? Not that I have anything against Christian literature but am not sure this belongs in the "romance" section. The religious references are constant and blatant. Even as a Christian myself, I was actually extremely put off by this.
Also, what is with this character? She's 29 but acts like a teenager. Even her interactions with her BFF, Jenna, are extremely high-school.
And, I get they are Italian and they love Dean & Frank, but, really? She lives in TX and had never heard country music? Wasn't sure where to find cowboy boots? WTF? I'm completely confused.
YOU'RE IN TEXAS!!
The biggest thing for me, though, and what made me lose complete patience with this story was when she was working with the florist and told her not to be afraid to quote a large price because the father of the bride could afford it. Again, WTF? As someone who works with a lot of brides, I was completely annoyed by that kind of attitude.
All that, along with the repetitive dialogue and monologue and poor writing and lame plot has made it to where I can't even finish this book because it's so absurd. |
A good movie that framed a sermon series for Lent. | A movie about a journey that teaches faith and commitment, purpose and trust, and community, even among strangers. I liked it. |
Very nice, especially for the price | These aren't the pretend pearls from your youth.
They actually feel very nice, the elastic in the bracelets was the perfect size for me.
I absolutely love these.
For those who are more picky about these things, please note that while the two bracelets with the bigger pearls are the same size, the smaller one has a few more pearls on it so it fits a smidge looser than the other two. Not a problem for me though. |
Were too small even though I ordered the size above ... | Were too small even though I ordered the size above what I needed. Tore trying to put them on. Very frustrating. |
