Title: Monte Mar Palace Hotel; City: Ponta Delgada Madeira Madeira Islands; Review: We booked a week at the Monte Mar as a getaway. We paid £200 per adult all inclusive. It was rated a 4 star, but the price we paid we were not holdidng out too much hope. The hotel gets it's rating from its location and general facilities. Having stayed at 4 star hotels around the world, I would view this more as a 3 star hotel, but a good 3 star at that. It was clean and the rooms were comfortable. If you have a sea view room and the weather is good, I would imagine sipping a nice glass of wine on the generous balcony/terrace would be quite nice. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our room which was rectified immediately, without fuss (it was us versus the ants!! They won. We changed rooms. Thn it was us versus two cockroaches in the new room. They did not win! Please do not let this put you off, in a climate such as Madeira a few insects can't be helped, it wasn't infested with insects!). They put a cot in the room for us, even though we did not ask for one, which shows they pay attentipn to who is staying at their hotel! On their website, it says that DVD players are provided in the rooms. If you are travelling with children are taking DVDs for entertainment, then I would suggest taking a portable DVD player. There are no DVD players in the rooms, it is piped into the rooms via reception, and cannot be isolated to one room. That said, they were happy enough to put on DVDs for you on request (except at 830pm when they put on an oldie DVD). The food was ok, edible, but nothing to rave about, although desserts were average. The menus were very repetitive and all 3 meals were buffet. There were snacks, but all we saw was an empty plate that the saga guests had devoured, so we can't comment on them. On that note, the hotel was very popular with Saga, and is their base on the island. It was also popular with Germans and the English. As the hotel was popular with Saga, it meant that it was quiet, which suited us fine. Chavvy entertainment cannot be found here. The pools were average, and just about warm enough for a baby (although not a young baby (ours was 9 months)). If you wnat the ultimate swimming experience, head down the road to Porto Moniz and the sea pools! Hiring a car is a must if you want to get out and about to see the island. The hotel is less than an hour away from the airport.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Addison; City: Addison DuPage County Illinois; Review: We stayed at this hotel for four nights this summer on a trip to Chicago. We stayed at this hotel knowing that it wasn’t a Chicago hotel but this suited us fine and I would endorse this hotel as a perfect base for visiting the surrounding area. (Chicago, Milwaukee, beaches on Lake Michigan and the Indiana sand dunes are all trips we did from this location). If you are planning to stay at this hotel as a foreign traveller to Chicago but are not planning to hire a car, I would suggest this would not be the best place for you. Slap bang in the centre of four main highways in Addison, the views from the room are not the greatest. However, the size and comfort of the rooms makes up for the lack of view. The noise from the freeway wasn’t a problem either. Having a car and staying at this hotel is a must! Otherwise the hotel did lay on a shuttle service to the airport since it is only 10 minutes down the road. The hotel has fast free internet in the ‘business centre’ in the lobby. The self service laundry was also useful to us since we were on a three week trip (small fee applies). On conclusion this hotel is perfect for self catering/ self contained stay. This was supported by useful room amenities like a fridge and microwave. On the subject of the room, it was very spacious (little one loved being able to run around); well equipped with items above and beyond what average hotels have (but then again nothing less than what one would expect from a hotel carrying the ‘Hilton’ name). The bed was oversized and comfortable. The gym was small but had decent, expensive equipment. The pool was also not overly big but at times we were the only ones in there so it wasn’t a big deal. (The hotel was busy with guests). We did not eat at the hotel since the usual big chain eats were just down the road but felt this option was cheaper than the prices and variety offered by the room service/ restaurant menus. The day staff at the hotel were great, warm and welcoming however, the people doing the night shifts seem to be of a different breed. Sure they smile and are polite however, try and ask where the nearest beach is along the lake and you get a puzzled look and reply: “What a beach?”. Well this is the reply we got. Thinking it was just us crazy Brits speaking in ‘cockney’ we rephrased to ‘shoreline’ and even tried ‘sand’ and ‘sea’ but just got a smile and “erm, I am not sure what you are talking about” reply. We assumed that this was a crazy question that there were not any beaches along the lake but we found loads! In conclusion, a fair priced, good valued Hilton hotel and we would never hesitate to stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Baan Thai House; City: Ayutthaya Ayutthaya Province; Review: We could not fault this place even if we wanted to, well not without being really and I mean really picky but we had such a fantastic 3 nights stay, there just isn’t anything to genuinely complain about. We stayed with our two small children and our mother and father (in laws for me) in December. We had the two villas overlooking the river, near the lobby. The Ban Thai house is just one of those places you will remember a long time after your stay. It has character. It’s not part of a chain but family run, managed by Leena and her sister, who are the most nicest people you could ever meet to run an establishment. They were both friendly and helpful at every stage of our holiday. They loved children and just people in general no matter what their nationality and seemed to always care you were happy and always happy to help. They really know their business well, its location and have obviously taken the time to learn English as it was very good. They were able to advice on every aspect of our stay in Ayutthaya and ensured we secured our tickets to the light show which celebrates the world heritage status of Ayutthaya - amazing! Each room is unique and authentically furnished. Clean with all the amenities you need. The hotel setting/ grounds are very beautiful and fit well with the style of the hotel. The groundsmen does a great job and looks like Mr Meaggie from the Karate kid. The pool was decently sized with a deep end and a children’s area. Breakfast was adequate with a fruit option or fired food option (eggs etc). The dinner menu was a bit limited if you stayed there a while but a good selection and in keeping with the hotel size. There is asbolutely no better place to stay. They have an on site spa/ massage service which was the best priced I had ever seen in Thailand for a hotel and free internet/ WI-FI in the lobby. The hotel is 5 to 10 minutes walk from the train station when you can cross the tracks and hop over the ferry for 5 baht to the main part of Ayutthaya (Ayutthaya is an Island). It is also a 15 minute walk from the famous floating market which was a good place to scoop up some shopping.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham East Stroudsburg; City: East Stroudsburg Pocono Mountains Region Pennsylvani; Review: We picked this hotel despite the mainly bad reviews as the rate was good and our main aim was to have a half decent bed for the night and somewhere with free parking. We landed at JKF Airport in the evening and were driving from there to Niagara Falls, which is a 9 hour drive. I did not want to drive all night what with landing in the evening. East Stroudsburg is a 2.5 hour drive from JFK so was an ideal stop off point to break up the journey. We are happy to say the Days Inn offered a perfect resting point for us and our young children. It’s quite annoying when you read really bad reviews from people who pay really low rates through third parties; they clearly do not read the booking conditions before they confirm and then blame the hotel/ staff when this place is clearly not advertised as anything but an affordable hotel option?! Check in was effortless and the staff greeted us with a nice welcome smile. (The same staff member also parted us with the same friendly smile when he checked us out in the early morning despite working all night). Our room was everything we hoped for. A decent size, a nice hot powered shower, big (semi comfortable) beds, fairly priced vending machines to get a cold drink close by. The room also had a big fridge, a flat screen TV with cable. The room was clean and tidy though we must say the room and especially the bed linen felt damp. It was not so damp that it was uncomfortable but we certainly noticed getting into the bed that it was damp and felt and smelt (not too bad) of dampness. You have to remember the hotel however, is located near dense woodlands and all properties in the area would suffer from dampness in the humid conditions during the day to when the temperature drops at night. We also got the impression the room may not have been use for a couple of days which could have also been the cause over anything sinister. The room is part joined to the bathroom area (well wash sink) with only a small bath and toilet being closed off by another door. The rooms along the ground floor also face straight outside, which gaps under the door which will be factor to letting outside air in to create dampness. I managed to get some sleep though the little ones had other ideas (they managed to sleep the whole flight from London) so enjoyed running around the spacious room. We cannot comment about the breakfast as we checked out before it was served at 0700. Would have been nice if they could start it early; say 0600 to cater for those who are on the road and want to leave to get a head start on traffic. We also did not get to check out the pool or the fitness centre as we did not have time. They looked fine though. This was a good stay for; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Mount Morris NY; City: Mount Morris Finger Lakes New York; Review: As you first walk through the door you instantly feel you could be at home. The whole ethos of the hotel appears to welcome you on that basis and it has that homely quality seldom experienced in hotel chains. This place is unique and there are no doubts about it, if you are looking for a hotel in this area you simply have to stay here! My family and I arrived rather early and way before official check-in. We thought we would ask on the off chance if a room was ready. It was as expected however, and the hotel was full. The check-in lady was soooo nice though. She took all our details and asked if we had a cell phone and explained if we wanted to go and explore the area, she would give us a call as soon as a room was ready. Our children are aged 3 and 1 and we didn’t want to go walking off at that time as we had a wedding rehearsal for a friend’s wedding in the next town taking place in the afternoon. She also welcomed us to make ourselves at home in the lobby and told us we were free to have a fresh cookie (they give a supply by the front desk) and use the free high speed internet there too. The children played with some toys they had there in the lobby – it was great. They really do pay attention to the minor things here that make all the difference. It turns out we only had to wait 20 minutes for a room to be ready. The staff member we spoke to had a room prioritised and made for us. We were just settling into our room which was on the ground floor when we got a knock on the door. It was the same pleasant woman from reception making sure everything was ok. To our greater surprise the woman noticed we were not Carlson members so took the liability; using the details we provided on check in to set us up an account and join us to their free club. In doing so this saved us $20 off our rate. Amazing! Not many staff are this thoughtful especially when it comes to saving you, the customer, money. At this point the room could have been a pig sty and we would have still been left happy with our stay but no, the room was clean, big with well maintained fixtures and fittings. The beds were really comfortable, so much so I feel tired thinking about them. They have heated and nicely maintained pool and an even hotter and decent jet pool – both open to late with an Adult only session for two hours from 2100hrs. The only odd thing we found about the hotel was they have a policy of not allowing children who have to use swim nappies (diapers) use the main pool. They have a notice and go to some efforts to explain it’s quite a common policy across many hotels and is backed; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: London House Hotel; City: London England; Review: First of all the location of this hotel is absolutely ideal for anybody visiting London for more than one night. 5 minute Walk from Bayswater tube station on the circle line, 10 minute tube ride to the centre of all the tourist attractions! Around the corner from a high street containing Pubs, fast food places like McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Subway. There were also plenty of Indian and Chinese places too . There was even a shopping centre nearby. Really cannot empathise how perfect the location of the hotel was so close to all the action but far enough away from the hustle, bustle and noise. The hotel itself is basic but it doesn’t try to be anything but a decent place to get your head down I think. It’s been converted from one of the old London Victorian houses (hence the name) so expect very small but very cosy rooms. We had a room in the basement. If having a phone/ 3G/ wi-fi signal is important to you, you may wish to request a higher floor. There was free wi-fi access provided in the hotel and two pay as you go internet computers in the lounge area. We had two small children with us so perhaps that’s why they banished us to the dungeon, I mean basement? The room wasn’t bad really! It was tastefully decorated, light and clean but with a family the space was very tight. It was only a bed for the night so not too much of an issue however, if you are thinking of staying here as a family, anything more than one night will become uncomfortable – unless they have bigger rooms? There was a small TV, free tea and coffee and even a fridge in the room. So although small you do get everything you need and more. We even like the fact there was a US/ EU plug socket provided in the room along with the UK standard ones so if you travelled here from overseas and have forgot your adapter you will be catered for here at no expense. Again the bathroom small but clean and functional. The shower was fantastic! Good pressure well cleaned and maintained, nice hot water flow. In our opinion this hotel would not be suitable for disabled persons. Entry through the front door involves 5 or so steep steps and we could not get a double pushchair through the doors without collapsing it so a wheelchair would be a struggle. Staff always greeted you with a smile and where very helpful and friendly. There was a nice lounge area where we had a couple of quiet beers (bought ourselves from the local supermarket down the road) which no one objected to, which was a bonus for us). If were ever went back here with our children we would see if they had bigger rooms but would have no issues with returning. I am starting to ask my 3 year old daughter what she thinks of the hotel rooms when we ask. When asked about the London House; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Derby Pride Park; City: Derby Derbyshire England; Review: My family and I stayed recently on a trip up to Derby to see family. The initial impression of the hotel is one of being clean and comfortable where as unfortunately the first impression of the staff were that they were miserable. I only say this since there was no greeting when we arrived no: Hello and welcome, how can I help. I walked up to the desk and Elise (the receptionist) said nothing. There was an awkward silence as I dug out my reservation and then I started the conversation by stating I had a reservation. Further feelings of being unwanted came when Elise looked at us all said and her first words to us as guest was: “What are you all staying?” We were a family of four, 2 adults and 2 small children (infants in fact). Yes I said. “Well” she snapped “we haven’t put the sofa bed up, but that’s not OUR fault we wasn’t told you had children staying - you are going to have to wait for that I am afraid”. I don’t know why she was so defensive we didn’t intend to create an issue of it and we certainly would not have cast any blame or complained because the sofa bed wasn’t put up?! For one night and with small children we would have all just shared one bed. We explained that the agent we booked with only classed children from the age of 12 that’s why that information wasn’t passed on – then she went into another little rant about it. Much later the same lady, Elise came to our room to set up the sofa bed. Since it was a public holiday it was clear Elise was probably doubling up on jobs so perhaps that’s why she was a bit snappy with us because she knew she would have to bring the sheets etc. She had no doubt had a long hard day nevertheless, this shouldn’t come through to the customers but sadly it did. Unfortunately that impression sticks with you hence why we write about it in our review. Having said that we cannot rate this hotel anything but very good. The room was a good size, very clean and comfortable. The design of the bathroom was the best we have seen for this style of hotel and made good use of space. The bed was a good size, not too comfortable but not uncomfortable. There was free tea and coffee. Including in the rate was breakfast which we didn’t know about beforehand so was a nice bonus especially considering the rate. There were even hot items which you do not normally find in an express type breakfast. The location is easily accessible from all areas of Derby. It’s close to the city centre but not too close. It’s perfect for Pride Park football ground just leave plenty of time to get to the hotel if you are travelling on a match day since it is on that development. All in all for the rate we paid our stay was excellent; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Ashford Central; City: Ashford Kent England; Review: This was our second visit to the hotel which we used as a stop-over on route to Disneyland via the Euro-Star. The moment we walked through the doors at reception the staff were welcoming, friendly, helpful and polite. There were no queues at reception and our room was ready, so check in was fine. Walking to our room it was apparent that there were smoking rooms still at this hotel which may please those smokers out there. As non-smokers the smell was really noticeable and really got to the back of your throat. Otherwise the corridors were clean and tidy. The room was to the standard we remembered, clean, well furnished and well maintained. It was also a decent size. We had a double bed, an extra single bed and a sofa bed all out in the room but there was still ample floor space. There was a kettle and complementary tea and coffee in the room. The TV had been upgraded since our last stay and there were better cable channels than what we remember from before. There was also a hair dryer and trouser press in the room. The bathroom was clean and of a good standard and the shower and water pressure was excellent. A part from pay-for-view movies there is not much to keep the children entertained so if you are thinking of staying here and have children, bring a portable DVD player with their own movies. There is no swimming pool or anything here but the hotel is close by to Ashford’s town centre. The location is excellent. Ashford International, the town centre, designer outlets, a large Sainsbury’s supermarket and a leisure centre are all within 10 minutes drives. We took the kids swimming down the road and a burger at McDonalds afterwards. There are dining options available in the hotel including room service but it was around £10 for a burger meal option. (room service) Check-out was not as smooth as check-in, with only one lady at the desk for a long queue. It took 15 minutes just to hand the key back and say we were checking out. To cut down on the check-out queues they should consider an express check-out service for those guests, like us, who did not have any charges and simply just wanted to go. Otherwise like on this occasion we were made to queue with those who had queries over charges or needed to pay room charges. Otherwise we had a restful stay and we would absolutely consider staying again. From our research we concluded this was the best hotel to stay at in Ashford for our intended purpose.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western JFK Airport Hotel; City: Jamaica Queens New York; Review: Stayed here for one night after arriving at JFK from an international flight. Pick up their free shuttle from Federal Circle which you can get to via the Air Train from any terminal. The shuttle runs 24 hours and drops off at all the terminals from the hotel. Swift friendly check-in. Excellent free Wi-Fi. A comfortable bed, hot shower and clean room is all you can want for one night and which you will find here. There are drinks and snacks vending machines in the hotel and a small fitness centre with modern equipment. The breakfast was included in the rate and was fine for what it was. Fruit, juices, pancakes, waffles, donuts?!, scrambled eggs and sausages. I didn't feel I needed to leave the hotel but 2 blocks east from the hotel there is a Burger King and a 7-11. I have no issues recommending this place as a good airport hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Novotel London Heathrow; City: West Drayton Greater London England; Review: We recently stayed here for 2 nights and all we can stay really is that we had a perfect stay. Friendly and polite staff who gave the impression that nothing is too much trouble. On check-in, our two children were also given a small soft toy each. We liked the open modern look of the hotel and I have to say the rooms are the best designed rooms we have seen so far. For instance the toilet is separate to the shower room. The bathroom/ entrance corridor can be closed off to the main bedroom. The furniture and fixtures are designed to allow for maximum space but also functionality. The mattress appeared to be one of the memory foam type ones and it was really comfortable.The had a safe, tea, coffee, a fridge and an iron. The hotel had a pool which was great. It feels a little cold when you first get in but it is heated. The only improvement we can suggest is placing a slip mat from the changing rooms to the pool. You have to walk within the lobby area to get to the pool from the very small changing rooms just opposite. The floor is very slippery when wet. It only takes 2 people to be in the changing room at the same time for it to be full so we ended up having to get changed in our room, meaning we had no choice to walk through the lobby in wet swim wear. Breakfast was really nice and good value for money. The Wi-Fi was free and an excellent signal all over the hotel. Our room was on the top floor (3rd) and received full bars. Parking is available at the hotel and is £10 a night with in and our privileges. Some guests were provided complementary so I guess it depends on your rate. We took a day trip to London by driving to Hounslow West and parking at the tube station. It was a Saturday so the parking was free. In all we have nothing to complain about and thought this was an excellent airport hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Inn Suites El Cajon San Diego East; City: El Cajon California; Review: I booked a stay last minute as I decided to come to the area earlier to avoid travel traffic before the holidays. I just booked the first standard room that came up and didn't think much of it. It turns out that the standard rooms are smoking rooms? Non-smoking rooms are regarded as upgrades? And therefore there is an extra charge. I think this is a terrible policy and that as a non-smoker you are more likely to look after and not damage property so why charge non-smokers more? That being said when I arrived the manager did kindly allow me to have a non-smoking room and did not charge me extra for it so I was very grateful. The room was big, clean and more than suitable for a few nights. In my room there were iron burn marks on the carpet but it's not the hotel's fault that there is this damage, it's the guests. You cannot expect the hotel to replace the whole carpet but in general I could see the hotel does care about it's appearance and general maintenance as there was evidence of recent improvements throughout the property. The hot tub was HOT and had good jets and I enjoyed using it. There was supposedly a free breakfast included in the rate but I didn't see any evidence of where this was and was not told anything about it on check-in. There was nothing in the lobby area. The hotel is a motel style and is set behind a busy road and garage with a rather loud car wash! The car was was only open during the day though so it wasn't an issue. There was plenty of parking available. In all I have no problems in recommending this place!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: H10 Suites Lanzarote Gardens; City: Costa Teguise Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: Given the *amazing* reviews for this family friendly hotel, we were assured we were in safe hands however, we were left somewhat disappointed by some aspects our our stay. Starting with the main aspect in which most people will be looking to stay here and that is because of its glowing reputation as a family orientated resort. Where there is no doubt this hotel is certainly family friendly, how well you rate the entertainment and services on offer will all depend on the age of your children and your holiday style. I would also say that it is so family orientated that if you do not have children, I wouldn't really advise that you stay here, unless you have a high tolerance for other people's children. You will feel like a second class citizen as everything is really geared up to them and especially those children who come to know the children's entertainment team very well through the kids club. I think some of the children's team get too over-familiar with some of the children. I wouldn't be comfortable with my 6 year old daughter's legs being wrapped around one of the male entertainer's face, while she was wearing a skirt (with the skirt over his head!) as we saw happen :-/ I of course am not suggesting anything untoward, I just feel there needs to be professional boundaries. Personally our holiday style is to spend time together as a family and so we cannot really comment on the day activities/ kids clubs as we went off the resort most days to do things around the Island. If however, your idea of a good holiday is to pack the kids off to the kids club while you sit by the pool all day then this could be the place for you. Organised activities start from 10am Monday to Saturday. It isn't all just for children as there are also activities ran for adults such as 'water-polo' and such like. There are two decent sized swimming pools, one of which is heated. You only know it is heated when you get in it from the main unheated pool. They are cold when you first jump in but after a minute or two they are actually quite pleasant - unless you are just skin and bones, then it will seem freezing. There is also a very tiny splash pool for babies. Added to a couple of play parks, lovely well looked after gardens and some days they even put up a bouncy castle, in terms on things to do on the resort, we cannot really fault it. With regards to the evening entertainment, something we do like to enjoy as a family, we can only describe it as complete chaos! When the entertainers are taking charge (2 entertainers for a room packed full of kids) it is organised chaos! Our 6 year old found the mini disco 'boring' and even our 3 year old said - 'it's just the same!'. I cannot believe how much people rave about the mini disco and entertainment yet; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Bicester Hotel; City: Bicester Oxfordshire England; Review: I had never stayed at a Premier Inn before but stayed here for a week with work. In all the stay was very good. All the Premier Inn seek to guarantee is a good night's sleep but I think you get more than that. The bed was comfortable, the room was a good size, the shower was hot, there was air conditioning (handy since you cannot open the windows) and there was more than adequate furnishings for a budget hotel. There is even complimentary tea and coffee in the room and a small flat screen TV with free view. The Wi-Fi connection was a bit doggy where I was on the second floor. It's free for 30 minutes but then a reasonable (if unnecessary in this day and age) £3 for 24 hours. The property itself is only a small hotel really and looks newly built so at the moment, everything looks new and fresh. I had no issue walking 1 minute across the car park for the Brewers Fayre for Breakfast. The quality of the food is far better than most hotels would can provide on site. Hot food is cooked to order and although the odd member of staff looks like they would like to be somewhere else most of the time, I received a warm welcome and good service most days.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rockley Park Holiday Park Haven; City: Poole Dorset England; Review: When there are tears because it is time to go home you know this must be a great place and overall our stay was excellent. Although the drive to get to the park itself sees you driving through private and council resident estates and pass factories and military bases; the park itself is lovely. The grounds are well developed, clean and well maintained. The site just looks and feels nice from the outset. There are a number of different caravan styles and locations to suit differing needs and budgets. It is quite a big site. We believe we ended up staying in a deluxe or luxury caravan, which was fairly decent as caravans go (we are not really experts and are fairly new to caravanning). The location was perfect and we were greeted with a fantastic view over the sea. We stayed in ‘Bay Hollow’ which along with ‘Harbour View’ has the best views of the sea from the site in our opinion so try and bag yourself a home in this area of the park. Note however that this area is a good 15/20 minute walk from the main entertainment area of the park. We drove down as drinking alcohol isn’t that important to us but if you do enjoy a drink of an evening at the disco, you will have a trek back which can be a mare; especially if you have young children. This area is also located near to the beach area at the site which isn’t really suitable for bathing but is a great launch point for water sports and a good area for crapping. Our Caravan was privately owned but appears to let out by Haven, which is probably why we saw a marked increase in quality over Caravans in other parks which are owned directly by the site operators. It was well used but still very serviceable. The beds left us all with neck and back ache but I suppose it wouldn’t be camping without leaving with some kind of bodily ache! The bed in our main bedroom was also very surprisingly small. We are only 5’9’’ tall but our feet hung over the edge which we have never experienced with previous caravan beds before. Other than a few minor points which don’t warrant a mention we were very satisfied with our digs. The main point is that we were also satisfied that if we needed to raise an issue it would have been sorted swiftly. The site’s staff very much give the impression that they do care that you enjoy your stay. The reception staff were welcoming and friendly and although we arrived before our caravan was ready, they took our mobile number and gave us a ring when it was and checked to ensure everything was ok for us. Speaking of site staff we found everyone to be generally brilliant but of course you are always going to get the one or two people who bring the team down. Some of the pool lifeguards seem to be really intolerant of people. One young; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Telford Central Hotel; City: Telford Shropshire England; Review: I stayed here for a recent work event in the area which was booked via work which is why I know it would have been the cheapest hotel in the area. It was a surprise to me turning up to a building site as I did not have any idea the Hotel was undergoing extensive building expansion work. This wasn't the hotel's fault though and thankfully the building work did not have any impact on my stay. The builders did start work in the morning before 9 though which may impact some visitors so it may be best to check before you stay. The room was to the Premier Inn standard and so I had no issues there. The only thing to grumble about was that the pressure from the shower was naff but I settled for a hot bath instead. I didn't have any problems with the cleanness of the room but I felt the room was a little chilly and the tiny radiator linked to the auto set climate control box was ineffective in getting it warm. There is free tea and coffee is in the room, Freeview TV and you get 30 mins free Wi-Fi, though in this day and age you would expect to see free wi-fi in hotels in my opinion. Parking was indeed free. Cooked breakfast made to order at the Beefeater next door was a great way to start the day. The lady on reception was very welcoming and friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I have no problems with recommending.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PortAventura Hotel Caribe; City: Salou Costa Dorada Province of Tarragona Catalonia; Review: Having done extensive research and having the choice of staying at any of the Hotels in PortAventura for our recent holiday we are so glad we settled for and stayed at the Hotel Caribe. Firstly it took 40 minutes to be checked in but since we were checking in way before the posted check in time and because our room was ready, we did not mind the wait. It was worth it and later in the week we saw the queue double the length we had it with people waiting for at least an hour. It is a popular resort with many rooms so it can be busy but the staff seem to do their best to work through it swiftly. We found all the reception staff helpful, knowable and friendly with many of them speaking a number of different languages. Facilities and general style: As the name suggests the Hotel Caribe is themed on the Caribbean and in general it does this really well. We preferred the more spaced out resort style Caribe as opposed to the more enclosed/ high rise type styles on offer elsewhere such as the El Paso. For us the spacious grounds with the massive pools, lovely landscaped gardens and water features; were simply beautiful and were a pleasure to be surrounded by and, were definitely a unique selling point over some of the other hotels in the area. As mentioned the hotel had two amazingly massive pools, (complete with pool bars) which had both deep and shallow water areas with plenty of room for full on swims or just a dip, paddle or a play. The temperature of both pools was perfect and quite frankly they were some of the best pools we have seen at a hotel in a long time! One of the pools had a man made sandy beach effect including a sandy pool floor. In addition to this there is also an ankle deep baby splash pool and also an indoor pool and hot tub which is part of the spa and for which you have to pay 10 Euros to use. There is also a play park, football pitch and volley-ball pitch on site as well as a seasonal kid’s club centre, decent sized bar with a large outside decking area, 4 restaurants and a wellness spa offering massages and treatments. Wi-Fi coverage was extensive for a large resort, free and fast. Great! Hotel Rooms: All the rooms are pretty much standard, above basic and what you would expect and in keeping with the Caribbean theme. It was handy to have a little fridge and a safe in the room. Rooms are of a decent size, reasonably maintained and come with their own balcony. Some rooms have two single beds or a large king size bed. Our children had the use of a lumpy pull out sofa-bed. The AC was more a room cooler then an actual AC unit and was hit and miss in terms of effectiveness. Rooms are set out in blocks named mainly after Caribbean islands and no; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Felix River Kwai Resort Kanchanaburi; City: Kanchanaburi Kanchanaburi Province; Review: One of my fondest memories of Thailand staying at this hotel a few years back. Beautiful location right near to the bridge over the Kwai but nestled back within lovely and natural surroundings. Pools were simply gorgeous and most of the times we used them we had them all to ourselves. It was a nice and peaceful place. It was a bit of paradise and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. The river cruise and meal was an 'experience'. Although it was wonderful to watch the sun set cursing along the river, as soon as the sun had disappeared they cracked out the karaoke machine! We then had to endure an hour of Japanese tourists badly singing/ screeching - it wasn't great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Derby Pride Park; City: Derby Derbyshire England; Review: We recently stayed here for a two night stay. It was a return visit for us and so we knew what we wanted and we got what we were expecting. HI expresses are pretty much standard across the country. This one enjoys a great accessible location in the centre of the city with free parking. Thankfully the weekend we stayed Derby were playing away so unless you are staying here for the football the potential traffic and footfall on a match day may inconvenience you as the area will be busy. There are lots of places to eat nearby and as mentioned the city centre is around a 5 minute drive. With the double bed out for our two children the room does get a little small however if you have young children it would be fine but it may be less comfortable if you have teens. You then just have to way out what's more important; comfort or budget. Breakfast is a bit meh but it is included with the rate and so it really is hard to complain too much about it. Wi-Fi is included and on doing a speed test we were connecting at around 5Mb per second. AC worked great but we found the main bed hard and lumpy and the pillows useless but suffered through it since it was only for a few nights (and not much else you can do really!). Found the staff to be nice and friendly enough. Ultimately it was the reasonable rates that brought us back here and I dare say it will be what will bring us back again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Manchester MediaCityUK; City: Salford Greater Manchester England; Review: I arrived here late after a long evening of travelling. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. I had a room on the 12th floor which had some very decent views. The bed was probably the most comfortable I have spelt in at a hotel in a while and it was very much needed. Sadly I only had 5 hours to enjoy it before having to be up early the next day. Have no problems recommending.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Old Colony Inn Alexandria; City: Alexandria Virginia; Review: I found this place to be a charming little hotel. Small, humble and comfortable. Free and easy parking is certainly refreshing for this area of the USA where all the bigger hotels seem to be about expensive valet parking. You may think you are out the way here compared to other spots but the hotel do run a free shuttle service into old town. The included breakfast was basic but fine. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The only draw back from my short one night stay is that unfortunately I was likely bitten by bed bugs! They are more common than you think in international hotels but I am sure they can be avoided. In fairness I point out that this is only my assumption as in the night I woke up itching and the next day I had little red marks here and there on my body. I cannot see it being anything else. Free wi-fi access was great. Although the hotel was full during our stay it was very quiet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Alexandria; City: Alexandria Virginia; Review: I stayed here for three nights as part of a recent conference and on the whole it was a great stay. The hotel is in a nice part of town, almost reminded me of a Lego/ pop up city, the area seemed so new and clean. Great location with a enjoyable walk into old town (they do provide a free shuttle service too). There is a Starbucks next door and a humble cafe across the street. Also in walking distance was a CVS store which was very handy considering the hotel's bar prices were extortionate! $6 for a can of coke! Wow. The only thing I am annoyed about is having to pay $90 (total for three nights) plus tips to park a vehicle at their valet parking only arrangement. I am likely to be most annoyed by this as valet parking is not really a concept we buy into in the UK. We don't mind queuing and we certainly don't mind parking our own cars and walking. There was an average 10 minute wait to get your vehicle back. The other annoying thing was their ridiculous prices for wi-fi! It may just be me but in 2016 I don't see how hotels can justify charging you for basic wi-fi? Fair enough if they want to have a charge for a unlimited option to allow people to stream videos etc but just for normal use I thought $5 for a 3 hour access was very poor (at a glance this was the price I saw). The rooms feel fresh and very modern, with plenty of USB charging points; extremely handy for international travelers who may not want to bring plug adapters. The bed was absolutely lovely, I had no problems sleeping at all! As a conference venue for smallish 150 people event it was ideal really. The facilitates were great as was the food provided. So overall it was a great stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport; City: Crawley West Sussex England; Review: As we were leaving from the north terminal this hotel was perfect as it was attached. Entry was gained from the depatures/ check in area of the terminal. We arrived before the designated checkin time and our room was not ready so we had to wait. We were told it would take 20 minutes. We waited 30 and it still wasn't ready however the second lady we dealt with at the front desk found a room that was ready for us so we could check in. A far better response then a shrug of the shoulders we initially got from the first lady that dealt with us. You do get 15 minutes to go into their car parking area so you can drop off your bags/ you party. This wasn't clear from their car parking signs so we just when and dropped our car at the airport parking and got the bus back. Their parking charges were expensive otherwise. The room was cosy for a family of 4 but comfortable and all you need for a nights stay. It all felt and looked relatively new and modern. Complimentary Wi-fi was great and superfast. It was nice to be able to watch Netflix from our tablet with no connection problems (OITNB of course). Hot breakfast from 6am was also great and so following our stay we had a stress free start to our travel to the States.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Doubletree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We like to consider ourselves as fair and balanced reviewers so giving a poor rating doesn't come very naturally and based on our experience we felt anything more would be unjust to our other experiences. If you are staying here and are arriving by your own vehicle, our advice would be to keep your bags in your car until you have checked in. We were not given this advice by the valets when we advised them we would be self-parking and just wanted to park somewhere to initially check in. So we struggled with out of the car with our two children and all our luggage into the lobby to check in to find out our room was in block 7 on the far side of the estate; which you can drive to and park near. We therefore had to load all our bags back into the car to do this and so it was pointless unloading them in the first place. Would have been nice for the valet to mention the possibility of this situation. Check in was probably the best service we received from our whole 10 night stay. Quick and efficient with of course the welcome Cookie .The service went down hill from there but more about that later. The lobby is impressive and reassures that you have made a good choice however we were less than impressed by the rooms. Generally the property was nice. Well maintained grounds, two decent sized heated pools (one with a pool bar) which the children enjoyed; a half decent hot tub (only some of the jets work) and a small paddling pool and a few other recreation activities like crazy golf and table tennis. There is also a Spa (no prices where in the room so couldn't tell you anything about it or the services offered) and the hotel offered Room service. The location was great too. Obviously it was close to all the Seaworld parks, as well international drive and the I-4. Disney World was a 20 minute drive each way. Across the road there is a Subway, a couple of restaurants and a market and alcohol store with items costing a fraction than those at the hotel. Also within a 5 minute drive there is a CVS and Walgreens. The Walgreens had bottles of Californian Wine for $2.99!! They was a Seaworld shuttle service to all the Seaworld parks bar Discovery Cove (you have to book a space to leave on but don't for the return) and a service offered to Disney however you had to book on with 24 hours notice. With the hassle of the returns we decided to just drive there each day instead. There is a gateway right next to block 7 which leads out on to the main Seaworld Drive road which you can cross over to reach the main entrance to Seaworld. We walked it there one day. It took around 15 minutes with two small children. We where really pleased that we did not get stuck with the car parking charge at the; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Winchester; City: Winchester Hampshire England; Review: Nestled on the outskirts of Winchester, this place was an ideal location for booking a recent work meeting. It was a decent rate for a reasonable sized meeting room and lunch. Good modern facilities with excellent wi-fi. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will not hesitate to use the meeting and conference facilities here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PortAventura Hotel PortAventura; City: Salou Costa Dorada Province of Tarragona Catalonia; Review: Having stayed previously at Costa Caribe hotel (definitely a better experience) we decided to stay here this time. We probably won’t stay here again unless they refurbish the rooms. When we first arrived we were reassured by the very nice & luxury looking reception area. We were less than impressed with the welcome and reception service. At the desk we were just asked for a name and then asked for the tax money. We paid and then were just handed an envelope. The receptionist then called ‘next’ while we were still stood there. We were not given any information. We said excuse me but what’s our room number etc. and were then abruptly told that rooms are not ready until 3pm....the lady then just started speaking to other people. Oh well we thought, it is only 11am - we will store our bags and go swimming or something. We spent 40mins re-packing our things so we could go and do something and then attempted to leave our bags in the luggage room. The luggage man asked for our name and then checked a list and said: ‘but your room is ready- why do you not want to check in?’. Turns out our room in fact WAS ready and by this point we had wasted an hour thanks to an uninterested and unfriendly receptionist who seemingly couldn’t even be bothered to check the same list as her more attentive colleague. When we first got in our room we were hit by a strong smell of must and damp. We were in the Can Mestral block on the 1st floor - room 3015. We contemplated seeking another room but at reception we heard someone else complaining about their room and they were told there is nothing that can be done ‘all the rooms are the same’. Besides we just wanted to get on with our holiday. Rooms appear to all be the same only some may be a little bigger and some will come with a little balcony or just an opening balcony or like what we had, French doors opening up on a public walk-way. Unusable basically. We did enquire about upgrade options prior to arrival and was only offered ‘woody rooms’ for an extra grand! No thanks. The room was ok on the surface but is very dated. It surely has had touch up of paint and so on over the years but not a lot else. So although ‘fresh’ it was fresh out of the 80s. Just little things like to charge something you have to unplug a lamp as there is only one socket. No in room facilities bar a fridge and a small TV. They did have a safe tho’. The bathroom was mould ridden and by the end of the week we realised why it smelt so damp. Every time we used the shower the bath/ basin leaked and there wasn’t a dry spot to be seen on the floor. We did raise it on our last night and were offered another room but too late to be; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: THORPE SHARK Hotel; City: Chertsey Surrey England; Review: For a one night stay it was a very good experience. Having not visited Thorpe Park before it was a little confusing on arrival. We followed the signs in the car park for the hotel but they didn’t lead to anywhere seemingly meaningful compared to other resorts where the hotels generally have their own separate entrance. It took us a while to realise there was no separate entrance and we had to go through the main theme park gate which was utter chaos on account of it being ‘fright night’. There was only one security gate open with one searching officer. We wasn’t expecting to have our hotel suitcase opened and searched in front of everyone, knickers and all we must say but went with it. Not so much the park’s fault but fright night seemed to have attracted a lot of kids who didn’t understand the concept of a queue, respect or dignity and were literally pushing past and in front while the one officer was trying to search our bag. Check in to the hotel was a lot smoother and welcoming. The rooms are unique and will add to the adventure of a short stay. They are something you would perhaps see as a cabin on an overnight Ferry. The beds were surprisingly very comfortable. There was tea and coffee, an interactive TV and some water. The shower was functional expect we had to be moved rooms late at night as we discovered our shower was broken as it splashed out water in every direction expect for straight down! Thorough room cleaning/ checks would have identified this issue as it’s a bit annoying to have to move rooms when you are all in your PJs are settled. The duty staff member was however very friendly and sorted our move relatively swiftly. A hot breakfast buffet was included and was half decent only we couldn’t really enjoy it. The hotel was busier than it appeared as breakfast was full of people. There was however only one server clearing tables and so we couldn’t actually find somewhere clean to sit down. We had to settle for a half used and dirty table. The next day we could use the hotel’s luggage room for our case so we could enjoy the park which was convenient. In all we do feel the package was good value and would recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Derby City Centre Riverlights; City: Derby Derbyshire England; Review: I’ve stayed at a few Premier Inns across the country and this has been the best stay in the chain so far. The staff were very friendly and welcoming at all times. The property itself seems very new and modern looking. The room was a decent size, clean and well kept. Ok so my view wasn’t great as it was one of the inner facing rooms but I was here for business so wasn’t too fussed about that. The bed was super comfortable, there was a decent sized TV, plenty of handy plug sockets where you need them and great free wi-fi; which was suitable to stream Netflix on my tablet. The shower pressure wasn’t the best but still functional. The on site food service was again some of the best meals I have enjoyed whilst staying at a Premier Inn. The meals were well presented and tasted great. The chefs clearly take pride in what they deliver here and it shows. There is no onsite parking but I was able to park next door at the Intu multi-storey which only cost £7 for two nights which was good value. The location was great. Right next to the buss centre, city centre and of course as the name suggests the river side.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thistle London Heathrow Hotel; City: West Drayton Greater London England; Review: I didn’t stay here but ate at the restaurant so the review is about that. It was busy as it was the night of the England match but everyone worked hard to deliver good service. The hotel is deceptive as it looks old and shabby from the outside but it’s actually ok. The bar had a long outside terrace which was beautiful with the sun going down and watching all the planes coming into land. Great views.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Edwardian Heathrow Hotel; City: Hayes Greater London England; Review: Great hotel with great facilities. Rooms are well appointed with good amenities including water, tea & coffee, mini fridge, safe, good sized TV with good features such as android mirroring, iron and hairdryer. I found the bed very comfortable and the room had a decent AC system. I was here for 4 nights for work so it was important it was comfortable and I’m so glad it was. There was both a shower and a bath and there was shampoo and body wash provided. There were 3 places to eat within the hotel and I found the food and breakfast to be excellent. The hotel was always busy with various events but I wasn’t too disturbed by noise. All the staff encountered were very friendly and welcoming especially the restaurant employees. There is a decent gym facility and also a spa. In all it was a great stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: London Wembley International Hotel; City: Wembley Greater London England; Review: Stayed here for work & I feel obliged to leave a very good rating because the value was excellent and it met my expectations. As a budget hotel it was a little rough around the edges with the odd thing not working here & there (like the heater rack in the bathroom, the iron board/ presser being broken) but the bed was fairly comfortable & the shower was hot and powerful. Free parking was also a bonus for me as I needed my car for the 4 days of my stay. It got busy at times but thankfully still managed to park each day. There are a fair few spaces. The room was a decent size for a London hotel and the location was perfect for me. It could also be a great choice if you are a tourist as it’s located near Wembley Park tube station which is on the Jubilee line which takes you directly into all the main London attractions. There is a McDonald’s up the road too, a few bars & of course Wembley, Wembley Park & the London outlet shopping centre with plenty of places to eat. In general there is a lot of building work taking place around the area and the location has a high student population so there was the occasional noise nuisance but nothing dramatic. Closing the window shut it out. The WI-FI was very disappointing. I could connect easily enough but it was very slow or did not load any webpages. Had hoped to be able to watch Netflix on my tablet but it never happened. It didn’t even load Google without prompting some security alert so I just didn’t use it. The TV is small and the channels limited. I will likely have to stay in the area again & this would likely be my first choice if I am honest, if only for the fantastic rates.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

We rented the whole Villa for the last week of the year and we really enjoyed ourselves. Wayne and Marcy were fabulous hosts. The villa is really comfortable, with a great view. We really enjoyed our stay there. Breakfast was a nice treat, by the way....we surely recommend it and look forward to coming back next year; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coqueta Hotel Boutique; City: San Miguel de Allende Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: I booked this hotel because of its location and because it offered a relatively good prices. Indeed, location was very good and, even though other reviewers said it was noisy, it was not. Cathedral bells are heard afar, nothing to prevent you from continue sleeping. The hotel is very nice and the garden is charming. Rooms could be a bit more comfortable, particularly the bed, but they are clean, so if the case of the bathrooms, although the bathrobes were a bit dirty. Staff was nice and helped us with everything. We bought cheese, bread and wine in the town and have it for dinner at night at the garden and it was great. They lent us glasses, knife and plates. I think that to justify the price, they need to offer at least a simple breakfast and something at night in order to enjoy the garden. Moreover, they could eventually make rooms more comfortable. Other than that, we felt as if we were at home.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Park Lane Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: I liked staying at the Park Lane Hotel, mainly because of its location. I also liked that rooms were spacious, including bathrooms and they had room service. But over the years the services at this hotel habe deteriorated. I just stayed last week with my family. I booked through bookings.com stating that we were two adults and two children. Yet they gave us a very small room, with an even smaller bathroom. The room was very clean but the bathroom was already worn out. Service was very nice in general. Nevertheless, when I called to ask for help to connect WiFi in my Tablet -which by the way has a daily 12.95 fee-, they put me through a call center of the company providing the service. They didn't even try to see what was my problema. Moreover, there is no room service anymore. The first few days I was alone with my kids and therefore wanted to relax after a day of walking but we had to come down to get us some dinner. I think that for the price they are charging they should offer that service. I find that they are giving me less value for the money I am paying every time I go. Next time I will certanly ponder location to the rest of things.....; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Marina 2 Torrevieja Internacional; City: Torrevieja Costa Blanca Province of Alicante Valencia; Review: In the pictures it seemed like a very decent hotel. The views from the room to the Marina were great. However I would say is very low even for european standards. The bedding was hedious and in the bathroom they don't even have soap. At least it was clean, and from time to time there was wifi access; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Park Grand London Lancaster Gate; City: London England; Review: We just stayed there for a couple of nights after spending some time in Spain and in London (but unfortunately in another hotel). I booked this hotel because the one we use to stay in was full for the dates we needed, and boy we were pleasantly surprise. For starters, the people were so willing to help us. I made a mistake in my reservation but they had no problem in fixing it. The rooms are small, but ok for England's standards. More importantly they are new and clean. Water pressure in the shower was very nice. As we booked a Club room, breakfast and afternoon tea were included, which was a very nice surprise. The area is gorgeous, walking distance from Kensington gardens, which I loved. Surely I would recommend this hotel, and will make sure I will come back next time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel FK; City: San Miguel de Allende Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: We booked this hotel with some months in advance. The plan was a "couple of couples" in San Miguel. Nevertheless, at the last moment kids came along as well. I called a few days before to as about the rooms and they were very kind and put aside for us the largest rooms. Moreover, when we arrived they showed us each of the rooms and let us chose. Let me tell you that each room is very nice decorated and has its own flavor. Also each bathroom has a different design. The patio or common area is relatively small but very nice to spend the afternoon. It was like being at some relative home. We really enjoyed our stay there. If I had to make a negative comment about it, it would be that my friends complained that their bathroom was not that clean. By the way, locations was great, just a couple of blocks away from the center of the town and far enough not to be bothered by the cathedral´s bells, which is always an issue in San Miguel. I will definitely consider this hotel for my next stay at San Miguel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Park Lane Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: I stayed once again in this hotel because I loved the location, just in front of Central Park and a block away from 5th avenue and a couple of blocks from Broadway. This time around I asked for a two double bed room and space was ok for us four. The room was clean, and the bathroom was ok. The problem was that even though I got a room with city view -which meant I was on the 33rd floor-, the noise of the street was horrible. On top of that, and this is basically my only complain, the noise from the air conditioning was hell. I cannot imagine if this gets worse in lower floors, or in rooms not looking to the street. In any case, I think the value of this hotel is pretty decent, and I would stay there again if possible.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Warwick New York; City: New York City New York; Review: I usually look for a hotel that is near Central Park and I found that Warwick New York is at a great location, just a couple of blocks from Central Park, and 1 block away 7th Av. Althoug from the outside it seems like an old hotel, romos a updated, although probably a bit small for four people (my husband, and my two daughters were with me). The bathroom is small but well equiped, ammenities are very good. Wifi is free but just if you reserve directly through the hotel. I would definitely come back in the fall.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Diego De Mazariegos; City: San Cristobal de las Casas Southern Mexico; Review: My husband, my two girls and me stayed for a couple of days in this hotel. While it was ok for sleeping only -we had some tours booked so we had to get up early and then came back in the evening-, I think it has some room for improvement. It appears as a boutique hotel but I don't think it is. The room was just enough for us four, although beds were relatively comfortable, but not boutique hotel quality. Water in the shower was never warm enough and would use some pressure. Breakfast was buffet but food lacked enough quality. Something that I surprised me is that I thought that noise from other rooms were going to be an issue but there was no sound at all, even though I know we had neighbors; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mision Palenque; City: Palenque Southern Mexico; Review: We touched base at this hotel after coming from visiting Agua Azul and Misol-ha. We were happy to get off the car as we had started the day very early in the morning and drove all the way from San Cristobal. Suffice to say that it was such a curvy and bumpy road that most of my family was sick....so we welcomed hot food, hot water and a nice place to stay.

Title: Just One Day (Just One Day, #1); Author: Gayle Forman; Genres: fiction, young-adult, romance; Review: Wish I could give this 4 and a half stars. I absolutely loved the story, but it wasn't without it's flaws. Definitely looking forward to the companion book Just One Year coming out later this fall.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Testing (The Testing, #1); Author: Joelle Charbonneau; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I'm having a difficult time rating this one, so I'm just going to share my thoughts on the book without a rating. The influences of The Hunger Games are obvious, but I think in some ways this book is better written. The characters are better developed and I think that the ending left the series more open to explore different directions in the next installment. Definitely one to share with The Hunger Games fans.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Love in the Time of Global Warming (Love in the Time of Global Warming, #1); Author: Francesca Lia Block; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: After losing contact with her family during the Earth Shake that hits futuristic Los Angeles Pen takes off on an epic adventure to find them. Along the way Pen encounters dangerous creatures and giants and must fit her way through each obstacle. Love in the Time of Global Warming is La Block's take on a contemporary dystopian version of The Odyssey. While it drew on elements from the original epic, Lia Block took a refreshing approach in her telling. This is something that will easily appeal to teens whether or not they have read Homer's original. It is full of action and fantasy that keeps readers on the edge of their seat. I read this in one sitting.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Dexter Vicky Bowling Shoes For women; Brand: Dexter; Review: Very nice bowling shoes. Fit great, feel great..........I just wish they could make be bowl a perfect game.......*sigh*........oh well, I am very happy with my purchase of these shoes. (Plus, they are named after me, so what could be better than that) Only improvement I can see would be if they were available with purple accents instead of blue.......lol!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BOBS from Skechers Women's Keepsakes-Puffers, Black; Brand: ; Review: These slippers are real winners in my opinion. They are warm, comfortable and sturdy. I did purchase a half size larger than my shoe size because of the reviews I read. I was hesitant to do so because often this style has a tendency to slip off my foot, but wanted to make sure I had room to wear sox comfortably. The extra room is just enough and surprisingly they stay on my foot very well, with or without sox. I don't understand the person's complaint about a tag bothering them for I have no such problem. Yes, the tag is there, but I do not feel it at all. I'm quite certain these slippers are going to last a lot better than the past few pairs of slippers I've bought. I can run outside with no worries. I highly recommend these slippers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carhartt Men's Big & Tall Washed Denim Long-Sleeve Button-Front Original Fit Work Shirt; Brand: ; Review: I just ordered another of these shirts for my husband as he absolutely loves the shirt. It is VERY good quality, fits perfectly and washes like a dream!! It comes out of the dryer looking almost as though it was freshly pressed, which is nice for me. I was concerned about the color when I read some of the reviews but the color is just what I expected and looks very nice. It's really only slightly different from the picture....actually it looks better than the picture. If you are looking for a nice looking denim shirt, this is the one to buy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: UGG Dakota Little Kids; Brand: ; Review: I love, love, love these slippers!!! They are so comfortable I wear them all the time!! In fact I've even run to the store wearing them a few times, which is not something I normally do. I followed the advice of another poster and ordered the kids' to fit my size 6 and a half feet and they are perfect!!! They keep my feet and toes warm but not sweaty. The next time I need slippers I will definitely buy these again although judging from the way they are standing up to wear it will probably be quite a while before I need to buy again. Well worth the price!!.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vera Bradley Glenna Shoulder Bag, Microfiber; Brand: ; Review: LOVE this purse!!! I have several Vera purses and added this one as a treat to myself. Well made, of course, and very attractive.

Title: Sabrina Silver 2mm Titanium Wedding Band Thumb Ring/Toe Ring Plain Thin Comfort-Fit High Polish, sizes 1-10; Brand: ; Review: Product is exactly as described... it's just a thin, simple band that is very comfortable and lightweight. It's Titanium, so it is susceptible to scratches, but the ring its self is so small that the imperfections are not noticeable unless closely examined. The only problem I have with this ring is it seems to run a 1/2 a size too big. So if you're thinking of getting one, opt for a 1/2 a size smaller.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Dahlia Stainless Steel Sparkle 3.8mm Band Ring - Women; Brand: Dahlia; Review: I don't know what all the hype is about, but this ring is not even close to as sparkly as it is in the picture. I hardly wear it because for 1, it's dull and 2, it looks and feels like sandpaper. The only redeeming quality of this ring is it's a comfort fit and slides on and off comfortably. It might look nice stacked against an engagement ring, but other than that... It's alright.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Fossil Women's ES3083 Georgia Stainless Steel Watch; Brand: ; Review: Such a beautiful watch, not to mention it is stainless steel so it won't rust as easily (if ever). It's all silver so I feel it gives formal outfits a more polished look as opposed to leather, and can also be worn casually. The face is big, and keeps time accurately. The contrast between the big face and thin band is very flattering and the photo does not do it justice. I have had it for ~2 months and there appears to be no scratches and is very well made. The only thing I can complain about is the links are very large, which means it can end up being a little too big or a little too tight. In my case, it is a bit loose but since it is light it doesn't bother me much.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Bluest Eye (Vintage International); Author: Visit Amazon's Toni Morrison Page; Review: I found this book to be a difficult read. I found that I had to keep rereading sections for clarification. The first sentence captured me and I had to keep reading to find out why the men wanted to harm the women in the convent. I found it interesting that I had a hard time telling who were black and who were caucasian. At times I felt like I should have read the book with a piece of paper and a pencil so I could keep track of who was who. I did enjoy the book and was so proud of myself when I finished it. When I reread chapter one I found things to be a little clearer so I may reread the book. I would recommend this book as a challenging read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Black and Blue; Author: Visit Amazon's Anna Quindlen Page; Review: I cannot believe how powerful and intense this book was. The feelings were so real. If you think that the women who are in abusive situations should just leave you get a different perspective of how it really is if you leave. She lost soooo much. You wanted everything to be okay at the end of the book and you were left with so much saddness. By trying to regain her self respect and her very life she lost so much that was important. The writing was so powerful and the feelings were so real I wanted to hug Fran and Robert and make evrything okay. I recommend this book to anyone who thinks the answer is to leave.

Title: Chromosome 6; Author: Visit Amazon's Robin Cook Page; Review: I was enthralled by this book from the begining. Being in the medical profession I found it very fascinating and I have to admit I had to read some parts slowly to take in all the medical facts. I often wonder how a lay person reads his books and how they enjoy them. I mostly enjoyed how he carried over characters from one of his other books I felt like I had a head start getting to know the characters. This book held me to the last page. I didn't want it to end. It brought up a lot of ethical questions. I wish he had put the glossary at the begining of the book where I could have used it and not at the end where I found it by mistake. I look forward to his next book I hope he writes forever.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Serene Innovations SNHCUA45 Serene UA-45 Universal Phone Amplifier; Brand: Serene Innovations; Review: The sellers product came quickly and the sound is louder on the corded phone, but there was a fairly constant squeal coming from the phone ear piece regardless of my hearing aids in my ear or removed. Even with adjustments set at lowest level the squeal was persistent, but not constant. It was just more trouble than it was worth so I removed it from my phone. Now I have an excuse to have my wife answer the phone.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: SANOXY High Output Dual USB Port Car Charger for Ipad, Samsung Galaxy, Iphone, Blackberry, Droid, Gps, and Other; Brand: SANOXY; Review: It works great but gets kind of hot after about an hour; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Powerextra 2 Pack 7.4V 1800mAh Li-ion Replacement Canon LP-E8 Battery for Canon EOS Rebel T3i, T2i, T4i, T5i, EOS; Brand: Powerextra; Review: Works like a batter should, but at a much lower cost.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ARKON BT010 Windshield Suction Mount for EZ Pass Toll Transponders Bluetooth GPS Receivers and Radar Detectors; Brand: ARKON; Review: The suction cup mount is just what I wanted, but even after using alcohol to clean the wind screen it would not hold the windscreen camera. It was one suggested in the camera's web site, but it would not stick on our Jeep Wrangler. The idea was good, but the suction was lost within 5 minutes of installation. I recleaned the windscreen again with alcohol, let it dry and reapplied the EZ Mount, but again it fell off with the weight of the dash camera which as far as I can tell is extremely light. I ended up mounting the camera directly to the windscreen and now had to buy an outside sun screen to protect the camera from the summer desert sun. The inside sun screen would no longer work with the camera mounted right to the windscreen.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Monoprice Cable with Locking Latch,black; Brand: Monoprice; Review: What can I say. A separate PC hard drive installation cannot be done without this adapter. Now it works and as long as its working great, then 5 stars it it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: WD Black 750GB Performance Mobile Hard Disk Drive; Brand: Western Digital; Review: Simple to install and hook up in my PC. Used for a MIRROR IMAGE of the main hard drive. Works many times faster than the portable hard drives I've been using.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung Pro Plus 32GB MicroSDHC Memory Card - 95MB/s Read, 90MB/s Write; Brand: Samsung; Review: This works the way it was advertised to work especially in high heat location where I have it located in my windscreen mounted traffic camera. Works great and not bothered by high heat as my other memory card was so affected.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Marine Ever After (Always a Marine series Book 14) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Heather Long Page; Review: I flowed nicely for short story.

You don't leave and live to talk about it. Okay maybe, I can accept him leaving but the end..come on. What was that...I'm hoping it is a dream.

Title: Royal Bath Hotel Spa; City: Bournemouth Dorset England; Review: We stayed at The Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth this last weekend as we were attending a conference at the the BIC. The room we were assigned had a terrible 'chemical' type of smell, as the windows did not open we could not air the room. We complained to the hotel staff twice but they said there was nothing they could do and they could not move us as the hotel was full. We spent a very restless night and I awoke with bad throat because of the dreadful smell. The smell had still not dissipated after 24 hours. Anyway we complained to the conference organiser and amazingly another room was found for us! This second room did not have any smell, bliss, but it was so small, only 10 x 12 foot. There is nowhere to put a suitcase, no drawers and the radiator did not work, although an electric heater was provided. The bathroom has no space for a sponge bag, and there was no heated towel rail. This was a fairly new room, but not fit to classed as a hotel room. The mattresses in both bedrooms were very bouncy. We were there for 2 nights in 2 rooms and both rooms were poor. The hotel is definitely tired and could do with updating, the carpets are thread bare and the chairs in the lounge dirty. On a plus side the swimming pool was very pleasant, but why as a resident did we have to pay a £1 for a towel. I would not stay in this hotel again; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Best Western City Hotel Moran; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Moran Hotel is an average city hotel. The room we had was rather small with no space for a chair, but it was clean and the beds comfortable. The hotel does not have a restaurant as such, just a room where they serve breakfast, which is the normal continental breakfast although the bread and rolls were rather tough by British standards. On one occasion we had to wait for a table. Most of the staff speak English. The hotel is a 25 minute walk along the river to the centre or 20 minutes via the back roads. We walked for the first few days but found after being on your feet all day that the added time to and from the hotel became very tiring, so we purchased a combined metro, tram, bus ticket that also covers the rail fare up to Petrin. This was quite cheap around £3.30 a day or a 3 day ticket for about £9.00 allowing you to use the transport as many times as you wish during that period.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Golden Tulip Krakow City Center Hotel; City: Krakow Lesser Poland Province Southern Poland; Review: The Golden Tulip hotel is a typical city centre hotel and is about a 10 minute walk from the city square. The hotel was clean and looked as though it had recently been refitted. The rooms are fairly small, but I think we were unfortunate and probably had the smallest in the building, the biggest problem is that there is no where to put anything. There was a wardrobe with 5 hangers but no shelves or drawers at all, so you have to live out of your suitcase. This was a problem that everyone in our group were complaining about, so obviously common to every room. There is also no room to put anything in the shower room, just the basin to put your toothbrush. Breakfast was a fantastic spread of self service continental food or traditional english cooked breakfast. We ate there once in the evening, the food was good but the service was appalling, it took an hour to bring the food and again another long wait for the next course, I would recommend that you eat out in the town in the evening, there are many superb restaurants a short walk away.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Birmingham Nec Airport Hotel; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: Great hotel, with easy access to the NEC and Genting Arena. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent Breakfast. Our room was cold on arrival, but soon warmed up with the thermostat turned up. I would recommend this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Krumers Post Hotel Spa; City: Seefeld in Tirol Tirol Austrian Alps; Review: This is a good hotel right in the centre of Seefeld. The food is excellent with a large breakfast buffet and a choice of 3 main courses each evening ,a meat dish, fish dish or vegetarian, which differ each day. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, and most speak fairly good English. The standards and cleanliness are excellent. We had a junior suite room which was reasonably large and overlooking the town square/centre, the disadvantage of this was that the church wakes you up each morning with 34 loud clangs at 7.00am! The corridors are wide and the hotel is generally very spacious. The spa facilities look fabulous although we did not use them. The only negatives were that the smell of smoke drifted up from the bars below if you had the window open, it also smelt of smoke in the toilet and bathroom from the extractor fans which did not work and other people were obviously smoking in their bathrooms. The towels were small and thin. There is no air conditioning/heating system so you are unable to control the temperature in your room, opening or closing the window is the only way. We would stay at this hotel again if we were in Seefeld, but make sure that we were not overlooking the church!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Disney s Sequoia Lodge; City: Coupvray Seine et Marne Ile de France; Review: A typical 3* hotel. This is a large hotel situated about a 15 minute walk from the entrance to the park. The rooms were very clean, with 2 double beds in a room. We had a room linked to the one next to us with a door, very useful for the grandchildren next to us. There is a hairdryer and shower gel supplied, but no other toiletries, and no tea or coffee making facilities. The hotel has air conditioning although ours did not work very well, our daughters room was much better, this was a problem for us during this heatwave. There is a good swimming pool but this gets very busy late afternoon.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Palace; City: Tallinn Harju County; Review: This hotel is across the road from the Old Town area and a 5 minute walk from the town square where all the restaurants are. We had a standard room that was very spacious and well equipped, with ironing board and iron, ample wardrobe, shelving and drawers although there is only room for 6 hangers. Bath robes and slippers are provided as well as a full range of the usual toiletries. There is also a safe in the wardrobe. The air con can be a little annoying during the night and if you do not like traffic noise ask to have a room away from the road, it can be very noisy. The staff are very friendly and helpful and speak English well. There is a superb breakfast and another restaurant serving an evening meal. Do try eating in the hotel, we had one evening meal there and it was very good indeed, with a pleasant atmosphere and the food was the same prices as you would find in the town centre. Our only negative comments would be that the basin is a little small, with no plug, and the taps have no grips so would be very difficult to turn if you had arthritis. A swimming pool is advertised with the hotel, but there was a charge of 10 euros each to use it, so unfortunately we did not try this as we expected it to be free to hotel guests.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Further:: Down The Path 2; Author: Visit Amazon's Travis Mohrman Page; Review: Wonderful characters, action and adventure, mystery, homemade beer, and great dogs...I LOVED this book! Part 2 was even better than the first book, much more interesting. Now i am involved with this group of people though and want to continue hearing about their adventures and relationships in this awesome little village Travis has built in this not-so-horrible post apocalyptic tale. That's the sign of a good book. I didn't want it to end. More please Travis!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Singular Points; Author: Visit Amazon's Travis Mohrman Page; Review: I was hooked from the start. I am already a huge fan of Mr. Mohrman and loved his writing style in the Down the Path trilogy. I believe the writing is even better in Singular Points. I felt like I was watching a movie, I could so clearly visualize everything that was happening! The characters are well developed and the story is unique and exciting! And of course there is a wonderful dog in the story! It's also somewhat of an emotional roller-coaster. I laughed, held my breath, and cried (through the entire ending)! If that's not the sign of a great book, I don't know what is! Keep it up Travis!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: State of Nature: Book Three of The Park Service Trilogy (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Ryan Winfield Page; Review: I don't even know where to start. I LOVE this trilogy! I couldn't put these books down, reading late every night. The characters became so much a part of my life I dreamed about them and now miss them terribly that I'm done with the story. Lots of twist and turns keep the plot interesting and the relationship between Jimmy and Aubrey is just beautiful! This is a book that will make you think. It's a real eye-opener and a heartbreaker! I cried for two days and then reread the ending and cried some more! Ryan Winfield, you are amazing!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The End of the World Running Club; Author: Visit Amazon's Adrian J. Walker Page; Review: I loved this story! There is never a dull moment, the characters are real, and it is told beautifully by an author who knows how to use words! I am so happy to have found Adrian J Walker and can't wait to read more from him! If you enjoy apocalyptic tales, this is one you should not miss.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Girl With All the Gifts; Author: Visit Amazon's M. R. Carey Page; Review: Not since Hugh Howie's I, Zombie, have I been so thrilled with a zombie novel! The Girl with all the Gifts is totally different than most, and one I couldn't put down. It's an easy read, exciting, disgusting, with lots of action and heart. If you are a fan of zombie stories, and tired of every one being the same, THIS is a must read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Raising Stony Mayhall; Author: Visit Amazon's Daryl Gregory Page; Review: I loved this book! I have been a zombie nut since I was a kid, way before they were "in". But I have never read anything like this! This story is different, well-written, totally engrossing, and will have you altering your perception of the living dead. It is one book I highly recommend for fans of this genre. Great job Mr. Gregory!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender; Author: Leslye Walton; Review: This was like nothing I have read before. I couldn't put it down and was quite sad when it ended.

Title: Obsidian (Lux); Author: Visit Amazon's Jennifer L. Armentrout Page; Review: Finally! I've had a book hangover since I read ACOMAF last summer!! Nothing has grabbed my attention until I finally decided to read the Lux series. I'm 34 years old so I was afraid this wouldn't hold my attention or to be to juvenile, I was wrong! This book is perfect for all ages. Had some Twilight-ish feels, but hey that's what got me started on YA in the first place 8 years ago. Would also recommend Jennifer's "Wicked" series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

It's not a fancy one need a lot of work. And $0.7 is 20% of $3.5. I don't understand since when doing the basic work of the job which without extra service to the customer need tips?!!!

Title: Apricot Stone; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The food is good. But not satisfied with the dinning experience. The food served very slow and there're a couple miscommunications with the server. We had the wrong food ordered and she said she's gonna corrected but didn't. Also ended up with a bill for the wrong food. Then the server insisted she didn't make any mistakes and the food on the bill was what we ordered. Miscommunication happens, but blaming on customers without recognizing their responsibility is very unreasonable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hên Vietnamese Eatery; City: Cherry Hill, NJ; Review: This is the prob the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been. Very clean environment and authentic food. We ordered the Vietnamese egg crepe, the herb comes with it is very fresh and add a unique flavor to it. We also order their crab soup noodle and steam rice cake. They're both really tasty. My favorite is their strawberry limeade. It's freshly made with actual strawberry versus from concentration or some sort of flavor powder.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Seagate ST3160024A-RK 160 GB External USB 2.0/FireWire Hard Drive; Brand: Seagate; Review: Forget LaCie (have had >6 arrive DOA); Maxtor is loud, hot and heavy (had one arrive with loose parts rattling around inside) - the champ is this Seagate! Runs cool and quiet, no REALLY quiet. We buy dozens of drives (major movie studio) and these are the best we've found, short of building our own. Pros: Lightweight, quiet, cool, instant setup (Macintosh). External power supply uses standard line cord (not a funky appliance cord) so if it gets lost, we have another (or 100) hanging around. Ships with MacOS X (and Windows) software that features P.H.D. (Push Here, Dummy) backups. Cons: External, inline power supply (easily lost in shipping) has no label pairing it with the drive. If they get separated, you're S.O.L. Must have an internet connection to install software. Plastic enclosure, while 1/3 lighter, might fracture if you dropped it on a tiled floor. Conclusion: Highly recommended - Best-of-Breed for out-of-the-box, external drive.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seagate Expansion 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STAY3000102; Brand: Seagate; Review: I have owned and/ or specified probably a hundred Seagate drives of all stripes. I was flabbergasted to find this has a short, one-year warranty (unlike the drive inside which, if purchased separately would have a three-year warranty). It is rare that I have had to rely on warranty support for a Seagate, but have found them very easy to deal with. I am not used to having Seagate drives fail. When this one did and I swapped power supplies, data cables and host computers, including USB 2.0 and 3.0 trials, I opened the case (destroying it) and extracted the drive. Mac OS users take note: It was formatted MBR with an HFS+ partition. There is some magic that goes on inside the SATA to USB adaptor inside the enclosure that makes this drive work just fine with the above combination. When you take the drive out of the enclosure and use a different host adaptor, the drive is un-usable on a Mac without formatting. There may be some magical software that addresses this issue (I wish it was easy to find/ someone feel free to suggest) but be on guard: if you use this drive with Mac OS, be sure to do a low-level format or prepare to kiss your data good-bye when the enclosure fails.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: AmazonBasics Wired Keyboard; Brand: AmazonBasics; Review: It connects flawlessly to any system. It feels cheap and is difficult to type on. Maybe this is okay for a kiosk where you don't care about the impression you make on your user, but as a daily solution, I would recommend buying something a little higher up the food chain.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: AudioSource Sound pOp Bluetooth Speaker (Bubble Gum); Brand: Audiosource; Review: I used this in the shower and had to charge it twice a week. I don't take long showers. One day, it just stopped workingdays after the warranty expiredjust crapped-out; pouf. I figure it cost me about $1.15 per shower to use it. For that amount, I could have paid my spouse to sing to me instead. Think twice.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 1 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive STAC1000100 (Black); Brand: Seagate; Review: Fair performance, but in my MacOS environment, the drive goes to sleep after a period of inactivity. The OS has to wait for the drive to wake-up before any operations can continue. This may not be the case in other environments, but I have not tested. I have had other Seagate drives with this 'feature'... I find it annoying. There are workarounds, but why should users have to take the extra effort to research and deploy? On those other drives, the 'feature' was in the firmware of the drive, not the case, so if you wanted to convert the disk to be an internal, the issue would track with the drive and continue to hose your OS. I hope Seagate stops producing drives with this function. (You may be able to switch this off in Seatools, but that utility is Windows only) Thanks for reading.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Cisco-Linksys USBBT100 Bluetooth USB Adapter; Brand: Linksys; Review: Great range. Plug-and-play. Flawless.

Great choice for adding BT to an older G5 or MacPro.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: SiliconDust HDHomeRun PRIME Cable HDTV (3-Tuner); Brand: SiliconDust; Review: Description is slightly misleading as an ethernet connection is REQUIRED to get this box on your network. Once it's connected via Ethernet, your WiFi router can make the signal wireless, but you must bring your own WiFi router to receive the box's output via WiFi. The way I read the description, it seems like this box can connect via WiFi to a network. For getting local broadcast TV onto your iPad, Android Pad, FireTV, etc., this is a slam-dunk. To use with a PC, purchase (separately) EyeTV software from Geniatech--it's the best DVR software ever created for Mac or Windows--it will set you back 80-Euros, but it's worth it. If you run a Plex server and have a PlexPass, their server software has just added DVR support for this box. The feature is still in beta, but it seems really solid and cool so far. For iOS, purchase InstaTV from the AppStore and add the in-app option for MPEG decoding. Once you get it set up--and this is easy to set up--you'll have HD, local broadcast TV on any device within your local network's footprint. Cable and satellite companies don't give you a way to get a program you've recorded with their DVR out of their box. If their box breaks, there go your cherished recordings. If you get THIS box and add DVR software to your PC, you can burn programs you want to save onto DVD! This is my second purchase of this device... How's that for an endorsement?!?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: soundbot SB342-BLK Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter with 3Mbps High Data Transfer Rate & 33 Feet Wireless Range; Brand: Soundbot; Review: In the description it's stated that this works with MacOS, but I found it doesn't work with MacPro or older MacBook Pro machines. Or if it does, it's beyond the capabilities of an above-average support technician to install. I won't waste your time with details of everything that was tried; two hours were spent trying to make the device work and I finally gave up. As I purchased for $8, I will keep and use with Windows--I haven't tried but assume it will work on that platform--it's not worth the hassle to return.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Neewer® 52MM Four Pieces Macro Close-up Filter Kit (+1, +2, +4,; Brand: Neewer; Review: I read many reviews about this product and thought that I would give it a try but I definately would not recommend it to anyone. I just came from my outdoor workout and decided to take some macro photos of some flowers. I spent 20 minutes trying to get my camera to focus on my object. I got only one photo and I am sure it is not what I wanted. The time I spent trying to get my camera to focus, I could have taken about 50 photos!

I remember the first time I attempted to clean the LCD screen of my camera and the carbon started to smudge the glass or so I thought.

Title: 4GB SDHC (Secure Digital HC) Card Sandisk SDSDB-4096 (BUB-S); Brand: SanDisk; Review: I purchased this memory card specifically to use in my Kodak Picture Frame but apparently the picture frame does not recognize this memory card. When I first did my search to purchase this card with Amazon, I entered the make and model of my picture frame. Prior to all this I purchased a memory card from my local computer accessories store and that card did not work in my picture frame either. So that is the reason why I decided to purchase it from Amazon - I thought I could identify my product so I would get the exact item that I need. But that did not work either. The card works in my Nikon D90 camera though, so I have an extra memory card for my camera - maybe I can sell it.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

One great feature that I like and it was a complete surprise is this camcorder takes snap shots while the video is being shot. This feature is handy when I am uploading my video to you YouTube. I can use these photos for the video's thumbnails. Now I don't have to walk around two pieces of equipment - one to take videos and one to take still photos. This one piece of equipment does both jobs and I must say that the photos I have taken are very good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Primland; City: Meadows of Dan Virginia; Review: While searching the web for a perfect birthday experience for my husband, I stumbled across this resort. My husband is an avid hunter, fisherman, golfer and outdoor enthusiast and this resort has it all! It is always a plus when I can share his presents and this resort was perfect for me too! We spent three nights in the lodge overlooking the golf course. While my husband took a half day pheasant hunt, I went to the fitness center and spa which was amazing. We took an ATV tour one morning and it was the most fun ever! Forgot to mention that it rained the entire time we were there but it didn't matter! It made the ATV tour even more fun. My husband also did some fly fishing and sporting clays and we took a long hike around the property. This is an outdoor wonderland and we can't wait to go back! The experience would not have been as special without the exceptional customer service. It is hard to explain but we got fantastic service but it wasn't pretentious in any way. Primland does a great job of hiring local people who are just genuinely nice! Thank you for giving us an experience we will remember for years to come.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: El Dorado Maroma by Karisma; City: Playa Maroma Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Words can not describe the wonderful experience we had at this resort! The whole staff wanted to make sure that this was something we would remember forever and they exceeded our expectations. The resort is absolutely beautiful, our room was lovely and the grounds and beach were pristine! The real magic however was in the service. From Victor the front desk manager who worked it out so we could spend one night in the over water bungalows to our personal Concierge Santiago who worked with my husband on a beachfront dinner and with our housekeeper to surprise me with roses....it was all perfect! Also have to mention Janally (sp?) the hostess who took my husbands request for calamari to the chef and we had not one but two versions of the dish that were outstanding! One of the most special moments was when Jonah the server at Milo prepared a very special lunch for us because he knew we loved seafood! See pictures.

It is extremely convenient to RMNF and Estes Park downtown area. We met one of the owners and he was very friendly! The front desk person was friendly but she could have been a little more knowledgeable about what to do and see. Our only negative was the fact that we were not able to use part of the Chateau two of the three nights due to weddings. This put a little damper on the experience but we got room service which was amazing and we can't say enough about the woman who worked the bar in the evenings. She was kind, accommodating and very friendly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Anchorage 1770 Inn; City: Beaufort South Carolina; Review: We went to the restaurant at the hotel as a recommendation from a local. Said they had the best shrimp and grits around! So we went and first of all the shrimp and grits were not in the menu. In fact, there were just 3 entree offerings. I chose the steak and asked that it be prepared medium rare. My husband ordered the red snapper. Both entrees were way over cooked and almost unetable! The salads were good and the dessert was ok so the reason for the 3 stars. A lot of potential here since the bar and terrace area are very nice and the sunset was lovely. Too bad the dinner was lacking.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Paylak UNIKEY-1O Odd Sizes 5 Prong Universal Clock Key for Winding Clocks; Brand: Paylak; Review: Having a range of windup keys is a must if you have a clock with an undocumented key size, or if you're considering clock repair as a hobby. The windup shafts are difficult to measure, and the difference between sizes is small. It would be easy to use the wrong size key if you don't have the full range of sizes at your finger tips. The wrong key size could easily slip and damage the edges of the shaft. I recommend getting both the odd and even sizes, so that you're sure to have the precise size. I can't say how well these keys will hold up under moderate to heavy use, but so far so good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

A bit of contouring would give it the 5th star. I like the feel of the rubber; others might not.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dockers Mens Solano Outdoor Sport Sandal Shoe Dark Tan; Brand: ; Review: Finally wore out the lining on my Abeo BIOSystem walking sandals after 5 years of long walks. The worn lining's movement started generating friction, giving me blisters. I decided to try a sandal with no fabric lining. The Solano Gladiator Sandals fit the bill nicely. The memory foam is soft and form-fitting without being squishy like gel inserts. The soles are stiffer than the Abeo's, but still comfortable on long walks. It will be interesting to see how long they last. And at 1/3 the cost of the Abeo's, it's OK if they wear out a bit sooner.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dockers Men's Cargo Athletic Fit Pant with Stretch; Brand: ; Review: They fit as expected and are comfortable. No ironing needed after the first washing. Better price than comparable Levi's 541 cargo; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NUOLUX Travel Luggage Tags Suitcase Luggage Bag Tags Pack of 7; Brand: NUOLUX; Review: As other reviews have described, you have to bend the metal to read the contact information inside. This is a security feature, as travels are warned against labeling luggage with easily readable addresses. The theory is that a quick casual look at a completely exposed luggage tag gives the address of a potentially empty residence to a potential thief. In that case, these tags are quite secure because it takes a bending of metal to see the address. Another review suggested putting initials on the outside of the tag.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Grand Livio Kuta Hotel; City: Kuta Kuta District Bali; Review: Hotel need touch up, some bubbling on the wall. Excellent service during check in process. The ladies was taking care of us and very friendly. This is happened on my last day stay at this hotel. I was shock while someone stop impolite and ask when I will do check out?? Well it's 9.30 am and we just dropped some stuff to our car and we are not check out yet. BAD ATTITUDE and RUDE !! His name is Dian (Reception). You have to ask the guest politely.

POSITIVE: Staff are welcome always greet the guest and friendly. Design hotel was amazing. Breakfast was great. Not olny Indonesian food, they also serve Western.

Title: U Janevalla Bandung; City: Bandung West Java Java; Review: Stay here for 3 nights. Hotel with great location and industrial concept. Room so spacious with high ceiling. Breakfast was great for day 1. The rest was bad. Restaurant was very small but they have small patio. Bathroom was great but smell bad. Suggest to have odors at the WC. Important things!! Car park was horrible and disaster. A lot of materials at car park and make us difficult to park a car. Security even not notice with all the guest stay they and always ask us "are you stay here??"

Title: Hotel Santika Tasikmalaya; City: Tasikmalaya West Java Java; Review: I was disappointing with the cleanliness especially with the bathroom really dirty.

Title: Stay Hotel BKK; City: Bangkok; Review: Hotel quite new and fresh. Clean and tidy. Located not in the heart of happenings Bangkok center. Abit far but easy to go to main happenings area by MRT Sutthisan. Walking distance to MRT Sutthisan around 15 minutes from hotel. Only 3 or 4 station to Chatuchak Weekend market by MRT. Room clean with good wifi connection. Minor the bathroom shower glass was very transparant. Your roommates can see my siluet body while take a shower. No curtains. Asking hotel to do something with the glass window but no action. On my 3 days Housekeeping forget to refil complimentary mineral water and i have to call reception to request. What is the standard? Water drain at shower room not working well always call reception to send someone to fix it. Swimming pool quite small. Lucky i was swimming alone. Overall. This is good hotel but not in the happenings Bangkok area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Toba Village Inn; City: Samosir Island North Sumatra Sumatra; Review: Stay for only 1 night. Reception was friendly welcome. Room spacious. Wifi so bad. Swimming pool was ok.

Title: Sofia Boutique Residence; City: Ngaglik Sleman District Yogyakarta Region Java; Review: For me this is the best boutique hotel in Yogyakarta. I love this hotel so much. Hiding from the main road and surrounding by the residential area but it ao quite. Concept was great. Each floor have different colour and room are spacious. Height ceiling. Lobby was glamorous. Hospitality need to improve. Especially Reception team, security. F&B team are the best. Always greetings the guest, calling the guest for having breakfast. Minor the breakfast venue are so tiny and the breakfast variety (see the pictures). But they are (fb team) so polite. Reception team no much smiling and looks they always busy with computer not communication while check in and check out. They are so quite if i am not asking. Security also not much greet the incoming guest and staring the guest like something. Overall i love the product and concept boutique hotel. Definitely will back again and please improve the hospitality soul of your team.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hunter s Country House; City: Harkerville Plettenberg Bay Western Cape; Review: We couldn't recommend this place enough. The style of the grounds are out of this world gorgeous.

Title: Glenfern Villas Franz Josef; City: Franz Josef Westland National Park Te Wahipounamu West Coas; Review: It’s called a villa but it’s definitely not a villa. Has the looks of a cheap holiday house. The kitchen looks bad. Cabinets got different colours. There were not enough pans to cook and the kitchen had only place for 2 pans at the same time. The fridge froze al of our food on the day we arrived so we had to throw everything away. On the first day the floors were not cleaned. The couches badly needs replacement. We stayed at the back of the park next to the main road, the only thing that separates the house from the road is a small dirt wall. Another bad thing is the WiFi. There is probably only one WiFi point which is at the reception. If your placed at the back of the park there is no reception. You need to pay for everything, washing and drying your cloths. Also the alpaca food which they offer at the reception. We did not buy any breakfast but we noticed that they bring it to you on the evening before. If so you have to make it yourself which means you can go to the supermarket as well. I would not go back here and would advise people to look for another place to stay in Franz Josef.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The River Lodge; City: Ohakune Manawatu Wanganui Region North Island; Review: A beautiful location and such a nice room. Daniël is a great guy, not only as a person but also as a host. The rooms are big and clean. Same for the beds. We stayed in room 1 which luckily included a big(shared) balcony with an incredible view of the garden. The view is best when the sun sets In the garden and next to the breakfast/dining room is the living room with a great choice of wine and beers. Comfy chairs make it a good place to spend your evening. Another good place to spend the evening is the outside Hot tub.(we jumped in there twice). Daniël also has to cats. They are both used and very good with humans, as they love to cuddle or play with you. If you don’t like cats of have allergies don’t worry they also mind there own business and will never be allowed in the guest rooms or the breakfast room in the morning. The river lodge has a full kitchen for people that like to cook their own food. In the morning there is a continental breakfast, lots of fruit and choices. Daniel makes his own bread, give it a try it’s delicious. WiFi is free and works all over the property. Me and my girlfriend loved our stay here and hope to visit again. Thanks for everything Daniël(and your little cats); Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Le Rayon Vert; City: Deshaies Basse Terre Island Guadeloupe; Review: We were two American couples with our first time visit to Guadeloupe and found this resort to be all the website promised. Very clean, beautiful grounds, exceptional infinity pool and view. We enjoyed the restaurant at the resort and highly recommend the lobster! Our friends were competent in French which helped alot in asking Q's to the owners. We didnot experience a mosquito problem, but since the resort is on the rain forest side of the island, be prepared for rain showers nearly daily. Nearby Deshaies is a wonderful village with great places to eat and shop. We did not see the Green Flash, but the sunsets are beautiful. We highly recommend this resort. Yes, it is l60 euros/nite and due to our weak dollar that does mean it costs over $200/ nite, but it is worth it in our eyes. Only drawback for us was it is not on the seaside directly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Peter Island Resort and Spa; City: Peter Island British Virgin Islands; Review: Unfortunately, our transfer from Tortola's airport and then via ferry were both disappointing, Not a good start to our five star vacation!! We felt forgotten by staff. We stayed in the least expensive accomodations near the pool and found them adequate but certainly not luxurious. We recommend being on the 2nd floor as the view of the sea was great. Our room was clean , well stocked with supplies, but the shower was difficult to regulate due to scalding hot water which was a health hazard. And the maid rolled up my husband's pj in the bedding destined for the laundry by mistake and caused us inconvenience and a puzzle. The privacy and setting are definitly 5 star as was the menu. Our only complaint was no local sourcing of food other than fish, as we like to eat local as possible. Highlights were the two wonderful trips to White Bay with picnic lunches and our snorkel trip.We enjoyed the Carribean buffet with steel band and the famous stilt walkers who are amazing. We signed up for the Wine dinner, but there weren't enough takers and they failed to let us know. We expressed our deep disappointment and they made it up to us with a complimentary bottle of wine at dinner. Service kept letting us down, and surprised us given the high cost to stay five nights. Wonderful moon lit walks at nite, for it is entirely a safe place.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rosewood Little Dix Bay; City: Virgin Gorda British Virgin Islands; Review: We just got back from five days at this resort and were very pleased with our stay. The staff went out of their way to serve our every need and were very friendly. Our accommodation was outstanding, very spacious and good value, and when we ate in their main dining room, the quality of the food was excellent. We especially enjoyed their complimentary drop offs via speed boat to nearby islands and beaches. Snorkeling was terrific on George Dog island. We used their Spa and had a wonderful half day there relaxing after our treatments and could order a nice lunch delivered. We also liked not having a TV for our stay for peace and quiet. Plenty of shade on their beautiful beach which was kept clean and equipped with every water toy. We hope to return again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Frenchman s Reef Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort; City: Charlotte Amalie St Thomas U S Virg; Review: We stayed at this hotel after Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gourda due to our flight schedule and despite their comparable pricing, they couldn't be more different. Our room was small, had black mold on the patio door extensively, smelled of icky air freshner, and just wasn't up to standard for its nice setting. It looks quite worn in the public areas and seems to need a facelift. I would not recommend staying here unless you get a great deal on a promotion.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Captain Bligh House; City: London England; Review: This historic Inn has been nicely renovated and we especially loved the new, well equipped kitchen in our London suite. Gayna enjoys her room themes and finds unique furnishings to go with each room. Everything was clean and working and adequate, despite some tight spaces in the bathroom and bedroom. It is an old townhouse from the 1700's after all. Gayna went the extra mile to provide me with an electric hair curler upon mention I had lost mine en route. We are foodies and loved being able to forage for quality food at the Borrough's Market and then prepare meals in our flat. The Inn is very near bus stops plus within walking distance to the South Thames area with all the attractions. A nice local pub The Three Stags is very close with good food. We felt like we were Londoners for five days.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cable Street Inn; City: London England; Review: We found the Cable Inn to be comfortable, quiet and an easy location to use both buses and underground. Julian was personable and helpful to talk to and went out of his way to meet our needs. Our room was spacious and well equipped on the first landing with wonderful art works. Breakfast was informal and plentiful. We will always remember Julian coming to the table with our boiled eggs in an elaborate silver egg coddler.... Quite the presentation! We will return to this Inn when we return to London for another visit. Linda and Roger Pettersen; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mountain View Lodges; City: Ontonagon Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: We highly recommend this Upper Peninsula resort and Rick and Jen the friendly hosts. We choose a front lodge facing the Lake which requires a five day stay and it was well worth it. Just a short walk to the nice beach area with fire circles, a swing and benches plus unobstructed views of beautiful Lake Superior. To the left you can see the Pocupine mountains and to the right is Sunset point jutting out from the beach and a nice walk. We treasure the magnificent sunsets around a campfire and the brisk swims in the lake. Do bring water shoes as it is a rocky bottom here. The cabins are fully equipped and well maintained which added to our enjoyment. Very quiet setting. Rick and Jennifer went out of their way to be helpful i.e. Jen picked up for us some homemade cheesecake for our son's birthday celebration which he had requested if it could be found, not an easy thing in the UP! They are full of info about sights to take in while there as well. We were blessed with good weather which of course helped our enjoyment and which is unpredictable. If you are looking for a low key, relaxing vacation on the lake this is the place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stranraer Homestead; City: Kingscote Kangaroo Island South Australia; Review: We were treated so well by these very experienced hosts who went the extra mile in providing for our needs. Our accommodation was superior as we were treated to their stand alone cottage behind the homestead, usually reserved for their family. It was beautifully decorated and up to date, very spacious, quiet, with modern equipment. Only lacked Wifi, but they told us that will soon be put in. Lynn the hostess is a genuine gourmet cook with her own published cook book, so we had exceptional breakfasts and two fantastic dinners which were extra but well worth the cost. And her husband Graham takes you on a "bush" jaunt in his vehicle at dusk to view the local animals, who were abundant. They are very knowledgeable about the island and shared a lot of good tips with us for exploring.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: 'Yabba Dabba Doo!' Kimye and Kids Rock Flintstone Halloween Costumes; Abstract: Fall family fun! Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and their kids went all out with elaborate Flintstone family costumes for Halloween. "Yabba Dabba Doo!" the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 39, captioned a series of photos of herself with her children North, 6, Saint, 4, Chicago, 21 months, and Psalm, 5 months. "This family pic was such a challenge because Chicago was so scared of Dino! LOL We tried to explain and show her that it was just daddy but she didn't get the concept yet! So shout out to the photographer for editing her in & making our family Flinstones dreams come true!" While the reality star channeled Betty Rubble in a black wig and blue dress, her son looked just like Fred Flintstone. His older sister wore a red wig and all-white as Wilma Flintstone, and his younger one was all smiles as Bamm-Bamm Rubble. Kardashian held Psalm in a tiny version of the outfit. North also dressed up for Halloween with her cousin Penelope and their friend. Kourtney Kardashian's daughter, 7, rocked a long white wig and an angel-devil costume, while North was a straight devil in red fur. As for Kim, the makeup mogul debuted an extravagant Elle Woods costume, channeling Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. The Selfish author even recreated the character's iconic Harvard video essay from the 2001 movie, wearing pink and green sequined bathing suits and a pink dress, all with a blonde wig. The KKW Beauty creator has passed on her love of fashion and beauty to her daughter North. The little one loves makeup, but her dad, 42, doesn't approve. "Her dad won't let her wear it," Kim told E! News in September. "I think he had it, he changed all the rules. I'd let her wear, you know, she has a little red for Christmas, I'd let her wear a red lip, or I'd let her do one pop of something. I'd let her if she's wearing a black dress, a black lip. Kylie [Jenner] would give her all of these lip kits, so I kind of got in trouble for that. So, it's now no more makeup." The Los Angeles native opened up about their disagreement further the following month, telling the outlet: "North is trying to get in on the makeup, but she's being blocked heavily because her dad has stopped all makeup for her until she is a teenager. It's a big discussion, a big fight in the household right now but it is what's best. I think as a parent you just learn and figure it out as you go and we realized we didn't really want her to wear makeup at a young age but she sees her mom putting on lipstick and lip gloss."; Category: tv

Title: Catholic Guide to Depression; Author: Visit Amazon's Aaron Kheriaty Page; Review: I was thrilled that a prominent psychiatrist and a priest wrote this book. Profound, meaningful, and truly holistic, it helped me tremendously. Each day, the reading was an adventure into healing. I recommend it to ALL. Health care professionals, Catholic or not, and all of us affected by depression in ourselves or within others can gain happy insight and skill in dealing with this devastating condition; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: My Sisters the Saints: A Spiritual Memoir; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Carroll Campbell Page; Review: Spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, culturally and practically moving and meaningful!! I loved it! This was a story of an outstanding struggle with life's battles, with it's heavy crosses in everyday living and with faith. Yet it inspires continually with Colleen's daily introduction to and reliance on these wonderful female saints. Do read it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cross Roads: What if you could go back and put things right?; Author: William Paul Young; Review: I chose this book because someone recommended it to me as the same author who wrote The Shack---(all I could say after that book was "God is good!"). This book was supposed to be even better. I had a little trouble getting through the first part of it. But once I was into it it captivated me and kept me sobbing (in public even!) 'Til the very end. So profound. I repeat---God is good!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cloud of Unknowing: With the Book of Privy Counsel; Author: Visit Amazon's Carmen Acevedo Butcher Page; Review: The Cloud of Unknowing is one of the best books I've ever read. This is the book within the book, from which comes the title. I should have and finally did buy the simple 99 cents version. This translation by Butcher, does exactly what the original anonymous author begs us not to do in approaching the Lord----analyze, scrutinize with our intellect his beautiful teachings. The anonymous author begs us to be in the mystery of the "cloud of unknowing" which he inspires us to perceive and enter. This concept graces us with unfathomable wisdom in seeking an unfathomable Lord. I LOVED Anonymous. I hated what this translator tried to do with this book.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: How to Pray at All Times; Author: Saint Alphonsus de Liguori; Review: I've carried this book before and read it often. Gave it to someone to read (forgot who it was) and did not see it again. Have purchased three copies to give away, and now I'm so happy to have this book on my Kindle. This inspirational by St. Alphonsus Liguori is short, meaningful and has great tips for those who wish to "Pray without ceasing" and continually converse with God. What I remembered about the original book was that he said "If you stray from God ---GET RIGHT BACK."Wonderful!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Boston's Restaurant & Sports Bar; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Blah blah blah. Nothing fancy nothing great nothing terrible. Wouldn't come here again. Wouldn't waste my time or money. I'd have to try something else somewhere else. If you like these sorts of chains, you may like this one.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: This place was INSANELY hard to get into and out of. Terrible location practically on the highway on ramp. You WILL miss the entrance at least once and getting out is hazardous during traffic peaks. Breakfast ok if not sub-par. Front desk should get 5 stars for great service. Room is Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde. The bathroom fantastic, the room itself kinda dumpy. Large uncertain stain on foot rest. Carpet scared me. The idiots who put in the shower handle put the hot/cold backwards, there isn't a fan in the bathroom and the toilet doesn't flush well. Finally the price is twice what this place should go for.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Eclectic Cafe; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Ok place. Doubt I would come back. Almost a 3 star. Service nice. Way too pricy for the quality. Had a chicken burro with all the chicken lumped on one side. Drenched with weird sauce.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay; City: Tampa, FL; Review: Came with my non-ride oriented family. It was OK. Part of a package, so no major loss, but would probably not do it again. We lapped the place in about three hours. Here's some random thoughts. Busch gardens Tampa is squeezed into the middle of suburbia. Be aware that you will park in another block, due to the roads, and take a tram in. Allow for the time and be aware of the impact if you want to lunch away from the $10 fried meals. In the off season, one tram worked back and forth, so it took a while. The park had a lot of great animal enclosures. The cheetah run was awesome. They really run! Most standard zoo fare is there. Did the rhino run which was pretty cheesy. Way too many scripted puns with little enthusiasm, way short, not much wildlife. They cut out parts some of the riders enjoyed a few years back. The kids loved the rapids, but again nothing new there. Little maniacs also enjoyed putting in quarters to squirt the riders. However, they don't mark the jets to the buttons so watch someone first or plan to waste your first investment. The advice here about the maze is really true. They make a significant effort that you don't easily find your way. Forget about even trying to find your way by map. The map will show one thoroughfare which is really a series of different paths. Go ahead and download a GPS Busch Gardens Guide. There's a free one that was amazing. The GPS enabled map was a god send. Even tracked ride times. Not really helpful to us, but maybe for you.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Honeymoon Island State Park; City: Dunedin, FL; Review: Great beach State Park. Very nice facilities, but they should be at the price charged. Probably the most I've ever paid for a state park. When we went it was $8 for the car load. We went to the beach. A bit short, but long. The water on the gulf was much calmer than I thought. Practically no waves. Also extremely shallow. It took some effort for the kids to get wet. Came on a week day afternoon in October. Parking lot seemed empty, but the beach seemed full. Probably because it was so narrow. I couldn't imagine the place on a holiday or summer weekend. Nature center was very small, but well laid out. Best for a kid under 7. Otherwise, very much a been there done that. They have a scope, but the sign clearly said hands off without help. Took the trails to the north of the island to bird watch. Full of the usual suspects. Lots of osprey everywhere. Bring at least three different kinds of bug spray for the Mosquitos and use them all. Hopefully one will work. I dosed myself so heavily with mine that my wife asked what was all that white stuff on my shirt and they STILL pin cushioned me wherever I failed to coat myself at least three times.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: ING Direct; City: Wilmington, DE; Review: Great customer service. Great value. Totally enjoyed the experience.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deep Blue Bar & Grill; City: Wilmington, DE; Review: Good food. Service was just the way it should be. I have been here twice. Had the crab cakes last time. They really hit it out of the park, but in this case just a bit too much filler. I'm not a crab cake snob but I expected more from a place this good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Du Pont; City: Wilmington, DE; Review: I wish every hotel I ever stayed at was this good. Sublime service by the staff. Room is perfectly appointed. Love the beds. I should buy one. Stayed several times while visiting Wilmington for work. I would go ANY time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Washington Street Ale House; City: Wilmington, DE; Review: Solid pub fare in a great spot in Wilmington. I'd come again anytime, but expect to be full not bowled over. Brews are great. On a lark we tried the bacon martini. Some liked it, me not so much.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Shula Burger; City: Tampa, FL; Review: I was very impressed with this place. If it wasn't in an airport, they would have likely fared better. As it was, the food was overpriced and they only had two people working (though there were five on the payroll). Outside of an airport, this wouldn't have happened. I had the BBQ burger. This was a solid choice. The poor guy behind the counter was busting his butt. He was assisted by the cook. Everyone else was just hanging around feeding themselves. The burger was ginormous, cooked well, slathered in a solid BBQ sauce and had a ton of bacon. I was pretty impressed. Add the sweet potato chips and it was as good an airplane meal that you could find under $20. I'd definitely go here again. Just don't expect great food at anything resembling reasonable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Johnny Cash Museum; City: Nashville, TN; Review: If you are a Johnny Cash fans, this place will be great. All else, meh. They had almost every piece of memorabilia from Mr. Cash you could imagine in a well laid out order. However, there were WICKED crowds going thru EVERYTHING. I have never seen that many people read the cards of almost every artifact. Combined with a very small (let's say too small) spot made it very tough to get a good feel for things. I thought there was more, but must have missed it. Not a second floor like I imagined. Not worth it unless you are a huge fan.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Omni Nashville Hotel; City: Nashville, TN; Review: This is the tale of two hotels - or desk help. It was the best of rooms, it was the worst of rooms. I was coming to a conference and arrived with 22 of my people. The woman orchestrating it was seriously dialed in. I arrived late after everyone only to discover that they didn't have a room. Due to the ice storms in the area, no availability until the next day. Seriously? 21 other people set up correctly, I was missed, there's an epic ice storm, and no availability? The woman at the counter was super nice and said she would check with her manager. Came back several minutes later and had a room! Last one and would put me into it. I thought, 1st floor or disabled guest room. I arrived and it was the exec suite. Holy cow it was nice. I felt like I was in the movies it was so epic. Stayed a week, told everyone how I got super upgraded. Then when I checked out I almost wanted to throw up. They charged me top rate for an exec suite. I'm like, this will get me fired! No way the new person said, I'll knock $100 off. Like it was already 7x my companies policy rate. Imagine how that went over as I tried to explain to my COO. With 21 people, I'd have told someone to share a room if I had known that. Counter person #1 led me to believe I was being upgraded. Had I known, I may have even switched later in the week. I still feel gouged. Check your rate if you ever get switched rooms is the moral of the story. And my sign in didn't have a rate! Make sure it's there. Tale of two hotels - or hostesses. Great room. wonderful place. nice people. Stayed for weather. Over charged like a maniac.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Indianapolis - Southeast; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: This was about as average as it gets. I had the first floor room and they switched it for me. The room was clean, but the curtains were torn and the paper was peeling in the bath. It was very standard. I'd stay again for business, but would go elsewhere if I were bringing my wife.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pipers Restaurant; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: This place was very empty at lunch. It was a pretty straight forward mall restaurant. Nice waitress for standard restaurant. Good family style garden salad. However, the place thinks higher of itself. Just gave the impression that my mom was trying to impress visitors but not the actual way the family was. Bread served in a bowl was nice and warm. Whipped butter very cinnamony. Good unique taste. I had the honey roasted pecan chicken. I liked it. We had a very late lunch and they were in too much of a hurry to get us out. The rice and carrots were also good. Can't go wrong going here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cracker Barrel Old Country Store; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: I am generally not a chain restaurant kind of fan. But, I ubered to a hotel and had no way of getting around easily. With two options nearby, this seemed the best of the two. I came kind of late and the carnage of large crowds was being cleaned up. It's cute watching a bunch of toddlers explode a restaurant. But, I felt sad for the wait staff dealing with it at 8:00pm and after they left. The parents should be embarrassed leaving that behind. I really like the decor of the standard Cracker Barrel and it appeals to my southern roots. The waitresses & waiters were hustling even at this hour. All professional, confident and friendly. The manager/owner of this location knows what they are doing. Living in Texas, I had to try out the Chicken Fried Steak. The food came out and the first thing that came to mind was "extruded". Sorry, but that came to mind. Like a machine making standard pressed meat - this was about as manufactured a piece of food as you could imagine. The person who creates the pictures of the food must be a mad genius because what I had in front of me doesn't look like any picture I've seen produced by Cracker Barrel. I must admit, that once you get past the mealy consistency of a well blended meat product, the taste was pretty good. I liked the peppery, creaming, savory taste. It's just better if you don't look at it. I had three sides with it. The side salad was straight forward and plain. Very tart honey mustard wasn't quite to my liking, but it helped smooth things down. The corn was my favorite and well peppered. Mashed potatoes were just standard fare. I guess I was most disappointed in the corn muffin. I make a lot of corn bread. Camping, trying out cast iron, whatever. This wasn't well seasoned/flavored. I think they could have shown a little more effort here. Overall, it wasn't a disappointment. I just guess I had more options to try other spots out.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Nashville/Smyrna; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: This was a good spot for me. I would definitely go again for a business trip. It had all the standard amenities, bathroom was fine, clean and prompt check in-check out. I enjoyed the bed and the many pillows. Slept well with no noise and the temperature was accurate to what I dialed in. The TV was my favorite kind - you only have to touch the button once for it to quickly change channels. It's the small things in life which entertain me. The bathroom was large and clean, but I definitely didn't like the layout. It was a shower only which was fine. But problem 1 was that it had a sliding door. There was no way to get in without having the initial cold water blast you. To pre-warm the water, you have to reach in and risk water flying all over the place. I turned it on, ninja'd under the water stream, closed the door and then started. Worse was the class shower door and the entire wall of mirrors on the other side. I'm well into my age. Most would call me decidedly into the old era. So, when I'm totally naked, I'm almost embarrassed to see myself constantly while taking a shower. It was distracting to say the least. I wish the person who designed this shower layout and ginormous mirror got to use it for a few days in punishment. Now, if you are in for a romantic weekend and had a hot date - this might work for you. But for me, not so much. Talking to co-workers who stayed, I think I must have had the "assisted" bathroom and not a standard one. If I needed a spot for business, I'd stay again. I just need to steam up the bathroom before taking another shower.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jim 'N Nick's; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: Being from Texas, I eat a LOT of Bar-B-Q. So Jim 'N Nick's can definitely hang with the best of them. I have no idea what the actual restaurant looks like because I ate lunch at a business meeting where the food was catered in. This is just about the grub. Their sweet tea was perfect! The turkey was very good. Not the best I've had, but I'd eat it any (make that every) day of the week. The pulled pork BBQ was even better. Never had any that tasted like that. It had it's own unique flavoring. There were two sauces. Don't know the name, but the mild one was very sweet and the hot one was hot enough to melt asphalt. They also delivered two sides. The cole slaw was about as average as it gets. Not bad, just not unique. One portion and you are likely to have more than enough. On the other hand, the bbq baked beans were amongst the best that I've ever had. Large chunks of actual meat, onions, and peppers. Tasty with brown sugar. These are just the way I love them. Well done here. They came with what everyone called hush puppies. Nothing like any seafood hush puppy I've ever had. It was more like a small muffin of cornbread. Sweet cornbread. It was almost a dessert. Finally, we had a lemon pie. It came in a sheet tin so I was confused between lemon pie and lemon cake. Either way, it was very good. Nice graham cracker crust and whipped cream topping. It was a nice tangy finish to the lunch. I would definitely recommend going for take out. You're on your own for the staff and dining experience at their location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quail Hollow Golf Club; City: Boise, ID; Review: This was a very fun, enjoyable and gorgeous public golf course. Pretty tight and twisty with a lot of hills, but what do you expect this close to Boise. The snack bar and pro shop has all the basics but not much more. The greens and fairways were well maintained and lush. Definitely a good place to have some fun with some friends.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chandlers; City: Boise, ID; Review: After five years of looking for a great seafood restaurant in Texas, I have to wind up at on in Boise?! This was just the total package experience. Arrived with a large group for a late dinner on Saturday. Of course we had reservations. You should too. Staff was great. From hostess to waiter, to help, to sommelier - all did great. Only had one cocktail - the basic 7&7, so it wasn't hard to blow that. Perfectly done, but I would hope so. Started with a variety of apps. All I tried were great: oysters were very fresh; ditto the clams; beef carpaccio was new to me and I loved it; crap cakes were THE best I've had since leaving the Chesapeake area; and, king crab was good. The house cocktail sauce was just rocking good. The lobster was hyper chilled and was too rubbery. Not sure what that was. After sampling way too many apps, I almost had a terminal experience with the lobster bisque. Everything else more than made up for it so I would just say avoid it. Tasted like no bisque I have ever tried. It was a spicy tomato soup / paste that had been cooked too long. I kept eating it (maybe a third) before I finally decided I just didn't like it. Never found any hint of a piece of lobster flesh either. Stay away. Finished up with the Ora King Salmon. Absolutely the best piece of perfectly cooked salmon I can remember. Just stop there! The snap peas were extremely tasty and grilled. The noodles were more of a mess so after a sample I quit. It was an attempt towards a Pad Thai, but the oil/sauce was just oily without that hint of sweet and it didn't have that shifting texture of crunchy nuts (if those were nuts in there they were weirdly mushy). The place is gorgeous and romantic. The live band was a wonderful touch. The food could get exceptional. Just "choose wisely."; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Boise Downtown; City: Boise, ID; Review: This was a very good Hyatt Place. I enjoyed the king room that I had. It was more spacious than I expected and the bathroom was surprisingly roomy in the right places. It was near the elevator but quiet as a mouse. They did an exceptional job of designing blinds that cut out the light. The only down side was the room was low (requested high) and had such a bad view they should have just not had a window. I know I'm whining here. Definitely would stay here again, just the room could have been much better. The best surprise if the place was the "free" breakfast. It was unbelievably good. Usually free breakfasts are just terrible. For you and for your tongue. This worked on all levels.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Roaring Springs Waterpark; City: Meridian, ID; Review: Warning: This review is for the catered picnic area, not the general park. This is for those corporate event planners out there. I am very lucky to work for a company with locations across the U.S. and we try to take them all out to picnics every year or two. I "have" to go to these events to meet families and live it. Hands down this is now my favorite location of them all. Best park, staff, food, and venue. The park isn't small, but I wandered around beforehand and I would love to go on the rides. Later after they opened, I didn't notice any with crazy long lines or over attendance. The staff were all, universally pleasant, attentive and engaged. This must be a great place to work with solid leadership and management. The food ain't the best you will eat, but it was the best Park food I've had on many park visits for company picnics. Everything was well cooked. Even ribs that were tasty. The burgers and dogs were actually cooked. The baked beans were very flavorful. Not a fan of the cookie I tried, it wasn't I. The same class. All the rest was well above expectations. Best of all - I even saw a Quality Control person testing the temperature of the food on the buffet. I have NEVER seen that kind of care. Finally, I enjoyed the covered picnic area. Plenty of space, great shade and totally convenient for the employees arriving and the logistics to set up.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nashville International Airport - BNA; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Pretty decent airport. Easy to get into and out of. The traffic out was pretty straight forward. The airport itself was long and narrow. Expect a bit of a hike if you are at the end of the C gate to get a rental car. The layout was pretty narrow and all the construction is even compressing it a bit more. I look forward to when the construction is over and it's easier to move around. When a plane is boarding and everyone mills around in the walk ways it is pretty tough to swim through as everyone is compressed in the narrow space.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Thida Thai; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: This totally met my need for some good Asian food. The restaurant is not large, but it is well decorated and the staff rocks. The owner is attentive and seems to be the bus boy, water boy. They really seem to care. Started off with a standard California roll. It tasted good, but not as cold as I'm used to. The wasabi was extremely good and their version of the ginger slices was a treat. I went with the Thida Thai Fried Rice and fell in love. The rice was good but the bacon add was just genius. I enjoyed the cashews and chicken. The weird little pork pieces didn't do it for me, maybe that was their sausage. If so, I wouldn't do that again. But I have no pride about picking bits off that don't work for me. The rest was just SO good that it seemed a light burden for me to do to ensure I stayed in my joyful place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Starbucks; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: I came here early and it was easy in and easy out. Just what you want. The service was nice which is the only way to differentiate most of the Starbucks these days. Please note that the roads around this place can be confusing so be safe!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Deez Greek Cafe; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: Great place if you want good Greek food and pretty fast. The place is smallish but not a lot of folks there so plenty of seating. Most seemed to be getting food to go as it is more a counter service place than a sit down restaurant with order takers. Once it comes out, you pick your toppings. I kind of like that as a counter option. I had the gyro sandwich combo. It was a good deal. I think it came with enough fried for four people! And they tasted good. Fountain drinks are usually standard fare, but for some reason mine tasted better than usual. What was up with that. The gyro sandwich was a bit wonky. I should have deconstructed it and started over. They cut open the pots and stuffed the meat inside. The "lamb loaf" was a bit dry so I suspect they don't cut it from one of those meat rotisserie's. Probably don't sell the volume for that. Anyway, the meat was stuffed in the bottom, then the selected lettuce & veggies, then the tzatziki sauce and feta cheese on top. Almost like a snow cone. Rather than being mixed together you had either a bite of meat, a bite of lettuce, or a mouth full of tzatziti sauce. They alll tasted good but not in the normal proportions. Pro-tip: get a combo for only one in your group and just split the fries.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Salvo's Pizza; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: Had a very enjoyable meal here. Would definitely recommend. Entering it looks like you need to order from the counter. But do that if it's take out. Seat yourself for a normal restaurant meal. Restaurant is long and narrow. I don't think the back is always open, but who knows. Waiter, cashier, front area person was insanely personable. Perhaps an Italian version of Dolly Parton. Unbelievably nice, welcoming and treats everyone like family. She alone should get 5 stars. Started off with some Jalapeño poppers. Hand made and tasty if not too hot. Barely tasted an after burn but not much more than a mild tingle. Perhaps the huge volume of cheese cooling it inside. Whatever, they were fried tasty. I went with the Philly Steak Stromboli. I ordered small and it was HUGE. The larger sizes must be for multiple people. The insides were great, huge amounts of melted cheese and a perfect crust. The sweet marinara sauce on the side really complemented it. Definitely a good choice for me!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Curry House Restaurant; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: I came for lunch and was definitely the new guy. No signs and no experience so this is what I should have done: just sit at any open seat, wait for a drink order, hit the buffet. I on the other hand bungled around. Generally, I'm not a fan of buffets for Indian food. I'm too inexperienced and don't really know what anything is. I can read the signs but that doesn't help a lot (I know the basics) and I forget what I got. So forget it if you wanted an item by item review or a menu recommendation. I tried my best to wade through as many vegetarian and carnivore items. Universally, I liked them. Surprisingly, nothing I sampled would I not recommend or have wanted more. If you like Indian food or want to sample, that lunch buffet is the way to go. Some may have some gentle heat but it was all great to me. Good luck and definitely recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thai Phooket Smyrna; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: Wow this didn't make it for me. Used Yelp and thought I would like it. I kept trying to get in the right vibe but never got there. I arrived at about 6:30 on a week night and between then and when I left I was the only person in there. That says something right there. They gave me a choice of any seat I wanted so I picked one of the booths where the seat cushions weren't ripped in half from wear. The place was clean and well loved, but definitely hard use at one point in the past. I started off with the steamed dumplings. Definitely the nicest looking dumplings I've ever had. They tasted pretty good but a couple had disturbing chunky hard matter in them. Bone or uncooked pasta I don't know, but I quit after about 1/2. For the main thing, I ordered the Massamun Curry with Chicken. It was rated mild/1 star (out of 5). The waitress asked if I wanted it spicy so I said, not too much maybe a 1 or 2. What came out was so bloody hot as to make me think I was destroyed. I kept gagging on it until I could wipe off enough pepper flake things off the top to make it rationed. I ate about half and gave up. All the veggies and potatoes seemed flavorful and good. The few chicken slices in the other hand were highly sketchy. Definitely regretted that choice.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Blue Coast Burrito; City: Nashville, TN; Review: For an airport burrito, that was a great meal! I had the 10" burrito and it was huge. Added beans, rice, cheese, onions, lettuce and mild salsa and it definitely hit the spot. I should have asked for more salsa. The salsa was tangy, smoky and really good. Totally exceeded my expectations. The chips were also pretty good. Again, I've had a lot better but for airport food - it definitely works. I agree with the assessment on the staff though. They definitely would rather have been anywhere else. It surprises me that they have that attitude working in an airport. They've got to go through daily hurdles and miles to get to work but then they still exude and communicate an aura of - I could care less. Strange things indeed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Nashville Smyrna; City: Smyrna, TN; Review: Spent three days in the hotel and definitely came away pleased. The most important thing is - Yes, I would definitely stay here again. The place appears to have gone through a recent(ish) remodel. Or at least my room had. But whoever was hired, definitely did some things that shouldn't have made it past the punch list. Nothing really bothersome, but either a miss or low quality workmanship. The staff were super nice. When I checked in, whenever I came through, when I left. Each interaction was awesome. The management should be proud of the people who work the front counter. My room was pretty weirdly shaped. It wasn't bad, just kind of twisty long. Bathroom, sitting area, around a corner and then the bed. Very roomy, lots of space and I dug it. The only weird thing was how close the closet was to the bed. You had to have been in the room to understand that one! Bed was pretty good. The mattress worked for me and the pillows were great. The covers, sheets, blankets were "meh". The bathroom was pretty good, but mine needed some TLC. It looked like a shark took a bite out of the top where someone carved it to fit the wrecked door frame. That made it through a remodel punch list? Laughable, but not inconvenient. What was really weird were the two blisters in the bottom of the bath tub. Two big bubbles where the laminate was coming apart. It's just a matter of time before someone steps on one like popping bubble wrap and they start having water issues below. I'd stay again, but maybe not in that room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nashville International Airport - BNA; City: Nashville, TN; Review: COVID has NOT been good to this place. Even more shopping & food sources have shut down and most everything is boarded up with promises of future offerings. There is literally one food source in each Gate area (C&D) that we were trapped in. One serving C gates and one serving D. To say that they were crowded is a huge under statement. TSA went reasonably quick and was surprisingly well managed & staffed.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: 8th & Roast; City: Nashville, TN; Review: I don't think this company has a clue how bad their point-of-sale technology is. Perhaps don't care. But it does surprise me that any business goes so cheap on technology that they just pour away customers. Here's the scene: packed airport returning and two restaurants so packed that they are unavailable. So this place has vending machine sandwiches by the dozens but CAN'T SELL THEM. I had a two hour layover, so I wasn't in a hurry. I think I saw 90% of the customers just abandon the line and leave their stuff. When I got to the counter I saw what was going on. They tried to ring up & scan the customer ahead of me perhaps five times. Kept faulting. Finally it worked. Then it worked on the second try with me. DO NOT GO HERE unless you have all the time in the world and don't mind vending machine snacks/sandwiches. And if you are the owners, do a bit of an ROI and actually watch your customers.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: The Indieauthor Guide; Author: Visit Amazon's April L. Hamilton Page; Review: I am so excited; I just got the The Indie Author Guide: Self-Publishing Strategies Anyone Can Use as an early holiday gift (and to help encourage me to finish NanoWriMo). The first book was fantastic. I really loved how the author goes into systematic detail on how to do things, as some of the self-publishing books I have read are a bit more fluff than substance. So I was really excited when the new guide came out. I have only been able to glance at it but I can already tell there are many cool updates from the first one.

This is a love story but one so different from anything I have read before. Admittedly I am more into sci/fi than romance but this book was great for those categories too.

Title: Troop of Shadows (The Troop of Shadows Chronicles) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Nicki Huntsman Smith Page; Review: It was a good story, well written. There are two reasons why I didn't give it the fifth star. One the ending was kind of awkward. While not spoiling anything, the ending did tie up plot lines for this book but it was also very obvious that we are supposed to continue to the next in the series. I might if the price is right. The second issue was this is so similar to Stephen King's The Stand that sometimes the similarities would pull me out of the story. Still I am glad I read it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Well, I had a whole long review all written out and I just decided to scrap it after re-reading it. Why?, because I can't discuss this book with someone who hasn't read it. If you have not read this book and you "think" you know what it's about and comment on it all over the internet then think again because those of us who have read it are just laughing at you. The price of admission to get the "joke" of others ignorance is pretty high but fully worth it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa; City: Clearwater, FL; Review: Not A Better Place In Clearwater For A Family Gathering Of All Ages. This is great hotel for family with children. Stayed here for a family reunion. Very clean rooms, almost all with a full kitchen. The staff is fantastic, courteous, and with a little planning can accommodate large parties easily. There's always a kids-menu and as you'd expect, there's always children of every age. The pool gets busy, but mostly with families that have children. The rest of the families go across the street to the beach. If you're a big group (we were), you might consider getting a Cabana on the pool deck. It makes life very easy for a modest fee of $75 to $150 depending on size. We got one for every day we stayed and it was an incredible asset when the rains come in for an hour each day. There's a TV, couches and chairs and we'd plan our meals around the one-hour rain storms that come every afternoon. Fantastic way keep the families together for the entire day. The restaurant and bar are just as family friendly and can accommodate any request. All in all - I highly recommend this as one of the finest places to stay in Clearwater Beach.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clearwater Beach; City: Clearwater Beach, FL; Review: Tame Waters With Soft, Clean, Sands. Powder soft sand, long slow incline into the water and the slightest of waves make for a fantastic beach experience for small children. I had a blast with my two year old nephew.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bern's Steak House; City: Tampa, FL; Review: Bern's Is Best From Presidents to Dignitaries - Chef's to Celebrities .... there's a reason they all eat here. Ask for a tour of the rooms reserved for the list above. One of the oldest Steakhouses in the Country with one of the largest collections of wine in the USA ... Go see why this place stands as one of the best for all these years. If you like steak ... you'll like this place. If you love steak ... this is your place! I go to Florida twice a year to visit family. Being a spoiled foodie with all the restaurants in Northern New Jersey and NYC, I find the whole Tampa/St Pete's area mediocre at best. Sure there are some rare gems, but they are far and few between ... I guess that's because no one wants to compete with the talent that is Bern's. This is not your modern eatery with flashy decor ... it's old school class with lots of dark-stained wood, some brass and patterned woven carpets. But you don't go here for the decor ... you go for the steak. You'll get a lesson in steak if you care to read the opening pages of the menu, and the wine list comes in a Coffee Table Book size and as thick as a paper-back novel, filled with some of the finest wines on the globe. Each bite of everything ordered is delicious - every time I go - and I go every time and that kind of consistency is amazing. Here's a treat - when you're ordering, ask for a tour of the kitchen .... and the wine cellar. YOU WILL BE AMAZED BY THE WINE CELLAR! Within the two properties they own, they have between 750,000 bottles of wine from all over the world, and as far back in time as you can imagine. There is no dessert served at the table. Take a trip upstairs to the "Dessert Level" and get a private booth for your party's size. It's a unique idea and makes for a different experience than just about anywhere you've been. OH ... and DRESS UP! If you go in shorts, sneakers or sandals ... you're going to sit in the lounge and not one of the many themed dining room(s) Enjoy ... I always do! NOTE: There is talk of a new building going up across the street ... I suggest going to experience the old location before they shutter the doors for the new version.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place St. Petersburg / Downtown; City: St. Petersburg, FL; Review: I'm a little surprised at some of the discounted reviews for some issues while all Hotels are experiencing incredible staff shortage as Covid issues are still a thing ... but I'm not discounting those perspectives as everyone has their own viewpoint. As for me ... So much to say: I had an awful experience with trying to book via the Hyatt Reservation System via the phone. Multiple disconnections and language/dialect miscommunication left me wondering if staying at the Hyatt was going to be a positive experience, yet I persevered and hoped that the Front Desk could still provide me with a room for my stay. From the moment I walked in the door, the check-in, the tips on bringing luggage up to the room before parking, the breakfast review and the genuine and calming way of Victoria Vo's presentation dispelled all my anger at the Phone Reservation Service. Victoria is a gem! Any question regarding St Pete's or directions, or even forgetting the "Uber Mandated Mask" that I left in the room was met with an immediate solution. The rooms and public spaces are clean, plenty of towels and amenities. No matter who's on staff, the efficiency of everyone on staff is extraordinary ... and ... they're ALL so polite! I've a feeling it's because the staff is treated well and there's a touch of levity and humor to be found in some of their Name Badges and if you comment on it, you can see them smile as they share their nickname (especially a VERY TALL gentleman named "Tall" ... LOLLL). I am sure as Covid becomes less of a "thing", more staff returns to work and provide better services this place will only get better. I recognize the limits of the service and having traveled from one hotel to another over the last several months, I applaud the efforts and results the Hyatt is providing. The other thing that makes this Hyatt location a win-win is the location. It couldn't be in a better place for the South St Pete's Restaurant, Parks, Yacht Club or Social Scene. Everything is within a couple blocks in any direction. A special thanks to Victoria Vo for making my stay such a positive experience. Gregory; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BLB Spray Tans; City: St. Petersburg, FL; Review: I'm a Ginger - with the typical pale skin, yet, I love the look of bronze skin ... but more than 30 minutes of sun turns me a nice shade of fuchsia and that's never a good look, nor a healthy one so I mostly get a Spray Tan for the desired look. I travel a lot and have been to hundreds of Tanning Salons across the globe, experiencing very good service to some places so awful I walked out before I even started. Needed a tan here in St Pete's, searched the reviews and was lucky to get in on a cancellation. From the moment you walk in you're greeted by the owner Brittany. She provided a detailed review of what coloring would work best for my skin type and how "her formula" (yes, she's mixing it herself just for my skin type and color!) will add color to me over specific timelines. She asked about any skin conditions, (dry, flakey, oily, etc) and added moisturizers to the spray to aid in helping that condition. Impressive! Brittany walks me into the spray room, reviews her procedure and she begins the process of protecting areas that shouldn't get tan (nails, calloused areas like heals and palms) and 'dresses' the skin with a formula for best absorption before applying the tanning product. Now I've been to a LOT of tanning services and NO ONE has taken the time and covered the minutiae of the steps I've just outlined as thoroughly and with detail as Brittany did! The Tanning procedure was easy and she verbally walks/talks you through her process as she's doing it. Once finished, she removes the protected gels/lotions she applied to the areas that shouldn't look tan ... (if you've had this done before, you know you're the one that's removing these protective barriers and not the Clinician - this is a step above!) Just as I'm ready to dress - she stops me saying there's another step ... "Another step" I ask, to which I find out I'm going to be "dusted" to help lock in the tanning spray which helps reduce any absorption by my clothes ... this is a first for me - I'm impressed even more. While I'm paying, I get a "Gift Bag" with an After Tan Extender/Moisturizer, a body bar, a card with After Tan Directions for the best long term results and a "Thank You" card. TELL ME YOU'RE TANNING CLINICIAN DOES ALL THAT ... and ... does all that for a ridiculously fair price! ! ! There are option to scent the spray and even add CBD for a relaxing option, along with Express Tan (shorter tan times for those who can't go 8 to 10 hours before showering) and more. I HIGHLY recommend Brittany's BLB Spray Tans. She's options for Spray Tanning that make her one of the best I've ever experienced. Thank you Brittany! P.S. ... she does Teeth Whitening too!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gratzzi Italian Grille; City: Saint Petersburg, FL; Review: End of a stressful day I'm looking for a place with a great bartender and delicious meal ... walking along 2nd Ave there are a lot of places, but they're a bit more of a 'scene' then the refined dinning I'm looking for. As I approach Gratzzi Italian Grille, I see the tables out front are full and the aroma is delicious. I pop my head inside and I can tell, this is my place! The bartender (Evan is his name if memory serves, if not, it's close to that name) makes a great drink and his advice on menu choices perfect. Even the company of strangers that surrounds me at the bar are pleasant and enjoyable with advice on their favorite meals ... these people are all locals and this is "their" favorite place. I understand why as it's a nice place with incredible food ... and the perfect place to decompress after a long, stressful day. Thank you Evan (God, I hope I got your name right! LOLLL).

Title: Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille; City: St. Petersburg, FL; Review: Nicest place on the St. Petersburg Pier Fun Place - On The Pier for a cool breeze no matter how hot it may be! Walked the St Pete's Pier and decided to stop for a drink at Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille ... yet ended up staying for dinner as the massive overhang gave us shade, waitress was very accommodating and the cool breeze offered a nice relief to the summer heat. Glad we did, the food was good and the beer very cold. I may be a bit picky about this, but the Live Musician could've been better. All in all it wasn't 'bad', but we didn't know a lot of the song he was playing, and some of the notes were off. (3 musicians at our table). Service was excellent with food and drinks good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Mission Compromised; Author: Visit Amazon's Oliver L North Page; Review: I just completed Mission Compromised (MC) and recommend it highly, especially to anyone who thinks like the writers of the few negative reviews. North brings up several topics that really need to be addressed, e.g. why is it okay with UN types to send good soldiers into harms way while dignifying known liars with ridiculous diplomacy discussions? North doesn't answer the question of whether it is ever right for one state to assassinate the evil leaders of evil states - but he makes a good case for "yes". I also recommend MC to the non-Christians out there - because North handles this side of life with as much realism as I sense he handles the military aspects of the novel. Like it or not, people in crisis do find hope, forgiveness and even salvation in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Ask around and you'll find plenty of people who will tell you how God "arranged" events to help them in a time of need. After reading MC, I would recommend that offended non-believers read the gospel of Mark and the book of Acts in the Bible (for educational reasons only of course). Good action here too and the fuller version of why so many of us believe (like North) that Christianity is vital for us today. North properly shows the UN in a bad light. In my opinion he portrayed them with more respect than they deserve. I was uncomfortable with the way North wrote himself into the novel. It gave the story a weird surreal quality. It also felt like an unnecessary attempt to bolster his side of the story about his history in the White House. Now let me think, who am I more tempted to believe; liberal military-hating congressional types who embrace a Clinton-like definition of truth and the media who let them get away with it or a God-fearing soldier following the orders of a God-fearing Commander in Chief? Wow, tough choice, but forced to choose, I say, "Hit `em again Ollie". If I knew how to offer a printed salute to North and his novel - I would insert it here. I'll be one the anxious readers of part 2.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: League of Extraordinary Gentlemencentury Vol. III; Author: Visit Amazon's Alan Moore Page; Review: Wow! Did I really say that? Yes! I did. First my bias: I am an avid reader and value the story value above all other attributes. On this measure, LEG vol. 1&2 both let me down. The story value just isn't there. The movie did a much better job. How often do you hear of that happening? I also used to love my comic books. I read and reread them as a young teen. I loved the stories, artwork and the flights of what-if imagination that some of the art/stories took me on and the combination of story and art really drew me into the experience. I loved it. On this measure, LEG vol. 1 & 2 also let me down. Moore does a good job, I guess, of following the current dark flat-ish style of drawing that seems so pervasive. Sorry, but this uninspiring style is part of what drove me away from graphic novels and killed most of the pleasure of reading the work. In a word, the style is depressing. Finally, I was hoping to use these graphic novels to introduce my children to one of the reading experiences I so enjoyed as a teen. I bought both the novels and the companion books, read them once and am now looking for a buyer. Not only do I not want my kids reading LEG, I don't even want to own the works. There is plenty of good stuff to read without driving my teens to the darker side of life that runs so thick in the story and art of the LEG works. If you absolutely want to try the LEG experience, go see the movie and stop there. The basic theme is there and is well done. If the graphic novel is a must for you - try only vol. 1. The sex and graphic immorality level was barely tolerable in vol. 1 and rises painfully in vol. 2. Volume 2 meets the pornographic and offensive standards. I know that I'm a minority opinion here, but I'm sorry I bought this set. No need for you to make the same mistake.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Spirit of Union Trilogy; Author: Visit Amazon's Gordon Ryan Page; Review: Parts, especially the beginning, feels a like a new writer, but when the story gets going, quickly becomes a very compelling read. I'm always bothered when characters fall in love in the story without my learning enough about them or hearing details that justified the love but once past this, the historical events are a pleasure to see through their "fictional" eyes. I'm only half-way through, and look forward each day to curling up with this work.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Froi of the Exiles (Lumatere Chronicles Book 2) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Melina Marchetta Page; Review: It's hard to do Melina Marchetta's work justice in a short review, because her stories are so complex and intricately woven that it's hard to even decide where to start. Do you talk about her characters, who are so real it feels like they could jump out of the pages and have a conversation with you? Or the plotting, so carefully done you don't even realize where she's taking you until you get there, upon which you smack your hand against your forehead and say, "Wow!" Or maybe just the feeling of her books--they start slow, and maybe even a little confusing, but she slowly builds the world and the story so that all of the sudden you go from treading water to swimming like a pro without even being sure how you got there. I'm not sure, so I'm not even going to try. I'm just going to tell you that you need to read this book, because it is so worth it in every way. Froi is such a worthy sequel to Finnikin, and I think it does even more work than the first book in the Lumatere chronicles. Never, while reading either book, did I feel like I was reading a fantasy series. I just felt like I was in this whole new world, with these characters who were just as real as those in her other books, and I became deeply involved in the lives and fates of the characters. This book is six hundred pages long, but I didn't want it to end! I just wanted to keep reading and reading and reading, and never have to let go of Froi and everyone important to him. Froi is just another reason for me to recommend Ms. Marchetta's work to everyone I know who's looking for something to read. Her books are so much more than YA--they are gritty and real and honest, full of flawed characters who are fully realized and who suck you in completely. A great author. I will read anything she writes and continue to recommend her work.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Beautiful room. Dinner was sunning and they were very accommodating with breakfast as we needed to leave early. Will stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Palms Guest House; City: Nelspruit Mpumalanga; Review: we had a lovely single night stay here. Driving up late from Pretoria we needed a place to crash. This was ideal. Secure parking, large room with bath and shower, tv and an excellent stocked honesty bar in the lounge. Plenty to read also if this takes your fancy. Good breakfast - cooked to order and huge pool if the weather is kind. Convenient for transit but I would stay here for an extended period in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: De Waterkant Cottages; City: Cape Town Central Western Cape; Review: We stayed in 23 Loader Street as recommended previously on TA. Gorgeous big building right in the heart of De Waterkant. This area is ideal if you have no car. We had headed down from Pretoria for the weekend for a rugby game and had decided to forego hiring a car as we didnt want to 'sightsee'. This area has some fantastic restaurants and cafes and is an easy 15 minute walk to the V&A and about 10 minutes to Long street. The rooftop is stunning with a lovely view of Table Mountain although we could not get the jacuzzi to stay hot into the late evening, although this was not a major issue. Huge fridge, washer drier is ideal. I would definitely recomend and we will be back here again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beach Lodge Swakopmund; City: Swakopmund Erongo Region; Review: This hotel was very nice. We had one of the basic rooms and I would liken it to the standard of a Protea hotel in South Africa, always clean, 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. Good range of breakfast items. Quiet residential area. With a bakkie, it did not matter whether we were 'close' to Swakopmund centre or not. Parking needs to be improved as certain rooms do not have parking in the gated area but on the side of the building adjoining the beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lagoon Loge; City: Walvis Bay Erongo Region; Review: Great location looking out over the lagoon and flamingoes. Spotelssly clean room, spacious with a nice bathroom. Great breakfast and the french hosts were lovely. He was putting on an exhibition of his wood crafts locally. A very talented man.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Pension Palmquell; City: Windhoek Khomas Region; Review: Lovely homely place. Great location in Klein Windhoek. We stayed here as the start of our self drive trip to get everything organised which was very convenient. Huge room with a great breakfast. Good value for money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Okonjima Bush Camp; City: Otjiwarongo Otjozondjupa Region; Review: Well we ended up staying at this lodgedue to a mix up by another lodge in the booking process which our agent rectified by upgrading us here - way out of our price range otherwise!!. The view rooms at the main camp are stunning - huge rooms with a view out onto the veldt. We went on a leopard tracking and cheetah tracking drive to see the un rehabilitable animals up (fairly) close. Great experience. Seeing the porcupines feed at night is also a special experience. Food was fantastic, if you are a fussy eater make your requirements known when you arrive. As I said, when I was looking for accommodation initially, this was discounted straight away because of the price. We stay in guest houses and camp. It was pure luxury however and I would definitely recommend this place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ashleigh Court Motel; City: Rotorua Rotorua District Bay of Plenty Region North Island; Review: Yes the decor (especially in the bathroom) was a bit dated, but it was spotless, had a comfy bed, the TVs had been updated, owner extremey helpful and a spa bath!!! This bath was stunning after a long day out in the cold. Plenty of space for my partner and i to stretch out and relax. Recommend this place and the room rate was excellent.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Hotel Sydney Wynyard; City: Sydney New South Wales; Review: Honestly, this is a standard chain hotel room. Beatutifully clean and tidy, room style is exactly what you would expect. location is extremely convenient. cheap internet ad helpful staff; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Majestic Five Hotel; City: Palapye Central District; Review: As explained this hotel is brand new - the hotel portion is near on complete, but work still being done on the conference facilities. Slightly 'souless' in a large hotel kind of a way but good staff and the rooms are nice. Wifi is available and is quick. Definitely the best option in Palapye and a short drive back to the border.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Park Hotel Mokopane; City: Mokopane Limpopo Province; Review: We used this asa stop over heading to Botswana. It is a convenient location to get to Martinsdrift border post. Arrangement of rooms is a little odd but they are spacious and clean. If you have any mobility issues, it is a short walk to the restaurant from the rooms, through a garden area. Good food offerings for dinner, and breakfast was nice. A decent hotel with good/ friendly staff.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Elgin Nor Khill Gangtok; City: Gangtok East Sikkim Sikkim; Review: Old World charm. Yes the hotel is not modern (although the wifi in the public areas was past and reliable!) but the location and this area of Sikkim in general does not want a brand new hotel. Rooms were well appointed and the staff and service excellent. I would recommend the DB&B package as the food options near to the hotel are limited and the hotel food was very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: On arrival we were upgraded to an executive suite, for our last night in India. The room was phenomenal. Staff were friendly and the service extremely good. Restaurant costs were reasonable and the food good. Wifi was slow however and if this was a requirement for work I would have had an issue with this - as a purely leisure visit however this was ot a problem. Location was very close to the airport and transfers were included in our rate. Great quality hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nguyen Shack Can Tho; City: Can Tho Mekong Delta; Review: What an amazing experience. the huts out on the river are basic but comfortable. En-suite with mozzie nets. The cook is on hand all day to make you items from the extensive menu (all reasonably priced). Fresh fruit available to nibble on every day. The biking excursions and excursion to the markets are well worth it. Definitely recommended as a place to go to and relax. Would return in a heartbeat - work just gets in the way!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jupiter International Hotel Cazanchis; City: Addis Ababa; Review: The staff at the Jupiter were fantastic and the free airport shuttles very useful. We stayed two separate times and both rooms were clean but varied enormously in quality. We booked a junior suite both times. The first was huge but was looking extremely worn, suffered with construction noise and had variable hot water availability and pressure (209 I think). The second room (702 I think) was beautiful. Modern bathroom and room layout, quiet, no water issues. lovely. Breakfast was not great and room service was awful. Wifi was intermittent but generally fine. For the price however some of these issues should be fixed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sora Lodge Lalibela; City: Lalibela Amhara Region; Review: The views are amazing from the terrace and the balconies. Every member of staff was amazing and the food in the restaurant was great. Rooms are relatively basic and the water pressure in the shower not great, but they are clean, comfortable and really what do you need them for other than to sleep. Outside is so beautiful. The trip to Ethiopia was a last minute decision and Sora were able to co-ordinate both our trip to Axum and Lalibela -guide, driver etc. Everything went without a hitch and we were extremely impressed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Garden Hotel; City: Datong Shanxi; Review: There were so many things we wanted to visit whilst we were in Datong that we did not spend too much time at the hotel. The room was clean and functional and the bathroom nice. It catered very much for a Chinese business market and was absolutely fine but nothing special. Concierge was very helpful. Food was ok but again nothing special. Very good location to see the sites. Good transfers to the railway station; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pingyao Yide Hotel; City: Pingyao County Shanxi; Review: Great from start to finish. The hotel is in a great location in the walled city. Courtyard rooms are unique and well appointed and the heating great for cold winter days. the food in the restaurant was lovely and reasonably priced. My husband organised a cake for my birthday (stunning from a local baker) and the staff sang and gave me a beautiful paper cutting card. Staff were wonderful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yared Zema International Hotel; City: Axum Tigray Region; Review: The room needed a little tlc, curtains hanging off etc but it was clean and the shower hot. Room was warm at night, no fan and the windows could not be opened due to noise and bugs. Lunch in the restaurant was pretty good and the coffee decent, but breakfast was not good. Staff were friendly and helpful.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Nguyen Shack Ninh Binh; City: Ninh Binh Ninh Binh Province; Review: Beautiful location and so relaxing to just lie out on a hammock and read a book. Excellent free breakfast and good food available all day. Very reasonably priced drinks. Good location to go and explore the area. Push bikes available which looked in good condition, although we did not use them as we had a guide booked. Rooms are as described, they are rustic, a number of bugs - beds do have mossie nets but remember the bug spray. 4 fans provided in the room were ok but the room may be hot if you are sensitive to heat. Drinking water and a fridge provided. Great shower with plenty enough hot water. Excellent wifi; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Splendid Star Grand Hotel; City: Hanoi; Review: The location of this hotel in the old quarter is fantastic, close to food options and a great base to explore. The staff are fantastic. Great value for money. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which is lovely - fantastically comfortable bed and separate comfortable sofa to sit. Excellent and plentiful breakfast The decor needs a little repair work done to it but this is fairly minor, bath also needs a little work on it. There is a lot of construction in the vicinity (retrofitting of hotels and shops) which starts early in the morning (06h30). If you want to sleep in, this may not be the right location for you. We had a great stay and will return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Allegro Hoi An A Little Luxury Hotel Spa; City: Hoi An Quang Nam Province; Review: On arrival my parents and myself were offered the upgrade to move to the newly opened Allegro Hotel (in the same chain as Little Hoi an which had been booked). Hotel is in a great location - an easy walk to the Old Town. This hotel was fantastic in all respects. Huge room with a great en-suite. A huge bath tub which you could fill with hot water (a first for me in Vietnam!). Breakfast was 5*. Great selection. Chef was available to answer any questions - we don't have any allergies but this would be a great place if you did, as chef is very experienced and speaks great English (and Italian and probably other languages too !) But most importantly the staff were fantastic. Extremely helpful and just genuinely lovely. Thank you to Jane and Link for assisting after my mother had a fall. They were kind and thoughtful and it really made our stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Splendid Star Grand Hotel; City: Hanoi; Review: This hotel is just in a perfect location. Staff cannot do enough for you. There is fresh fruit, tea and coffee available all day if you want it. i have stayed here several times. It is a great price. stayed in a deluxe room this time which is such good value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Aoyue 937+ Pro Series 45 Watt Programmable Digital Soldering Station-ESD Safe, C/F Switchable, Configurable Iron; Brand: Aoyue; Review: This was the perfect thing for a project I was working on. The device is stable, capable of maintaining it's temp for hours without setting itself on fire (I accidentally left it on overnight), and the solder roll + sponge + iron holder is really awesome.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SE MZ101B Helping Hand with 4x Magnifier; Brand: SE; Review: I really liked this for soldering wire, tried to work it on a board, and it was useful for a bit, but as the board filled with components, the little pinchy-hands weren't able to hold the board up any more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ironclad Heatworx Reinforced Gloves; Brand: Ironclad; Review: These are heat resistant, and are useful for pipe sweating. They are also nice for holding things that would give you splinters. The hand pads are almost a patent leather, and as such, collect saw dust, dirt, and grime very easily when using these for lifting. I am wondering how to wash them now... I am typically a Medium hand size, but these appear to be a little small on me. The fingers fit well, but it requires a bit of effort to close the hand or make a fist. I would purchase these again, perhaps in a larger size.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aoyue Soldering Iron Tip Cleaner with Brass wire sponge, no water needed; Brand: Aoyue; Review: Removed solder really well. Seemed durable enough to last through a few large jobs, definitely would purchase again over a sponge.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nest Learning Thermostat, 2nd Generation, Works with Alexa; Brand: Nest; Review: I've had this thing for not even a month, and it's probably saved me 80 gallons of heating oil. Of course, I replaced a mercury-switched monstrosity from 1970, but this is a step up from the normal garbage I could buy at Home Depot. It has learned my home's ability to heat and cool, and is able to cut fuel off in order to not over-shoot the target. It's also learned how to estimate how long it will take to get to a certain temperature, but I am unsure about how to get that to display. I took a star away because the nest application, while useful for people who just want to program their thermostat from home, is not the most accommodating when it comes to port usage. It requires ports 443 and 80 as well as 9543 to be forwarded to it from the firewall, and it will not accept anything else, which is utterly incomprehensible. I can't run a web site out of my home because the thermostat needs the port. Without the ports open, the nest behaves kind of strangely - when you attempt to set a temperature on the site, it will appear that the nest goes offline. This is because when nest.com tries to access the nest from outside, it's blocked. Meanwhile, the nest comes back online when it automatically sends it's updates to the web site. I was also disappointed by the lack of information available from the nest's site and sensors. I bought this thing because I wanted to see minute-by-minute polls of the exact temperature of my house. I want to see the humidity in fancy bar charts! I want to know all these things! Instead, the only thing I get is a simple uninteresting timeline of when the thermostat is, and is not operating. Oh, another thing - there is no internal access to this thermostat. I has assumed that you could do SOMETHING with this once you access it locally via IP address, but nope. The only way you can program this is by hand, or online.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ideal Security SK3015W SK3015 Pneumatic Closer for Extra-Heavy Storm Doors 1.5 inch Diameter with Torsion Bar, White; Brand: Ideal Security Inc.; Review: It's almost perfect. The only issue I have with it, is the rod is not long enough, which causes the door to open less than perpendicular to the wall. This causes the door to smack things you are holding in your hand because you can't open it wide enough. Besides that, it's got a nice spring setting which is heavy enough to close a wrought iron security door. It's good, but not great.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Tools_and_Home_Improvement |

Title: The Sages, Vol.1: The Second Temple Period (Sages: Character, Context & Creativty); Author: Visit Amazon's Binyamin Lau Page; Review: Binyamin Lau, Talmudic scholar from Bar-Ilan University and Rabbi of the Ramban Synagogue in Jerusalem, has written a fascinating treatment on the rabbinic sages of the Second Temple Period (450 BCE - 70 CE). In The Sages, Lau discusses and evaluates the teachings of the sages in light of the historical/political background in which they spoke, bringing new insight to passages found in the Mishnah and Gemara. In addition, Lau brilliantly weaves academic and religious thought together into a tapestry that doesn't contradict itself. Enjoyable and easy to read, this work is highly recommended for those interested in early Jewish history.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sages, Vol.II: From Yavne to the Bar Kokhba Revolt; Author: Visit Amazon's Binyamin Lau Page; Review: After reading the first volume of The Sages by Binyamin Lau, I decided to continue the journey by reading volume 2 of the 3 volume series on the early Jewish sages. The second volume begins with the aftermath of the destruction of the Temple around the year 70 C.E. and concludes with the Bar Kokhba Revolt, 132-136 C.E. In volume 2, Lau continues to elaborate on the personalities of the sages/rabbis, how they negotiated the world around them, and the implications their actions had upon the Jewish community. Well known personalities such as Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai, Rabban Gamliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya, Rabbi Akiva, and others are discussed at length. Overall, this book is a excellent continuation of volume 1.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sages, Vol.III: The Galilean Period (Sages: Character, Context & Creativty); Author: Visit Amazon's Binyamin Lau Page; Review: The Sages: The Galilean Period is an excellent capstone to author Binyamin Lau's three volume work on the Sages of the Mishnah. It covers the period shortly after the Bar Kokhba Revolt up to Rabbi Yehuda the Prince (137 CE to 217 CE), and discusses the personalities instrumental in the development of post-Temple Judaism including Rabbis Yehuda bar Ilai, Yose ben Halafta, Elazar ben Shamua, Shimon bar Yochai, Meir, etc. As seen in the first two volumes, Lau's analysis is elegant, insightful, and easy to grasp. This volume (and the previous two), are wonderful additions to the library of anyone interested in the early development of Judaism.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maimonides: Life and Thought; Author: Visit Amazon's Moshe Halbertal Page; Review: Maimonides: Life and Thought by Moshe Halbertal is an excellent introduction into the life and work of Maimonides (1135 1204 CE) - the great Jewish philosopher and scholar of the medieval period. The book opens with a brief biography of Maimonides and then delves into the context and meaning of his writings, including the Commentary on the Mishnah, Mishneh Torah, and The Guide to the Perplexed. Author Moshe Halbertal provides a very interesting portrait of Maimonides culled from Maimonidess actual letters sent to fellow scholars and students - letters which detail his contemporaries responses to his monumental religious and literary achievements. Mr. Halbertal also examines Maimonides own views on topics such as the meaning of the commandments, creation and nature, prophecy, etc. The portrait that emerges from Halbertals examination of Maimonides is that of a brilliant scholar, independently minded, at odds with the religious thought of his day. Nevertheless, his impact was felt on Judaism and continued to the generations that followed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success; Author: Visit Amazon's Phil Jackson Page; Review: I was initially drawn to former coach Phil Jacksons latest book, Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success, based on the title alone. If someone can win eleven NBA championship rings, they are definitely consistent in winning at professional basketball, and have a few words of wisdom to convey to others about their recipe for success. The essence of Coach Jacksons genius lies within his ability to manage multiple personalities, develop their potential, and direct them to the unified goal of winning games. Sounds easy? Not exactly. If you want to know a winning coachs philosophy about leadership, building team chemistry, and winning, then this book is for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Elephant Whisperer; Author: ; Review: Written by the late conservationist Lawrence Anthony, The Elephant Whisperer takes the reader on a journey through the South African bush, and specifically Thula Thula (Anthonys private game reserve in Zululand), where Anthony introduces a herd of rogue elephants. As one turns the pages of this wonderful book, s/he will be touched by the authors affection for the elephants and entertained by the numerous adventures Anthony encounters along the way. Predictable? Not at all! This book is a welcomed addition to anyones book shelf.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Robert Oppenheimer: His Life and Mind (A Life Inside the Center); Author: Visit Amazon's Ray Monk Page; Review: Oppenheimer, a man of great intelligence and depth, is known for his many contributions to physics in the early 20th Century, and specifically for his role in the development of the first atomic bomb as the director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. In the book Robert Oppenheimer, author Ray Monk captures many of the nuances which make up the man, delivering a well written and complex portrait of the theoretical physicist who would introduce nuclear weapons of mass destruction to the world, changing the global power equation significantly. Well crafted and interesting, this book has made me a fan of scientist biographies and the author as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: I Am Pusheen The Cat (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition); Author: Visit Amazon's Claire Belton Page; Review: I have to admit that Im a pushover when it comes to adorable, jumbo, and tabby cats! First it was Garfield, and now Pusheen. Like Garfield, Pusheen has a penchant for food, fun, and sleep. Unlike Garfield, Pusheens modus operandi is to be adorable regardless of her activity. Within the pages of I am Pusheen the Cat, we are given a glimpse of the adorable felines world, as she ponders questions of cosmic importance, such as If I were tiny I would, poses recommendations to adults including Six reasons you should consider being a cat and Pusheens guide to being lazy. There is not much reading involved in I am Pusheen, which is part of the aesthetic that makes the book interesting. Instead, the illustrations will stimulate the readers sense of enjoyment, and portray Pusheen as the adorable, humorous and sweet cat she is!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: What Makes Love Last?: How to Build Trust and Avoid Betrayal; Author: John Gottman Ph.D.; Review: I first became aware of relationship expert John Gottmans work a few years ago when introduced to The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, which I found really insightful. One aspect I really like about Gottmans approach to relationships is that he breaks relationships down to a science. Its as though Gottman has discovered the mathematical equation for marriage, and the variables which make up good and bad marriages. In his latest work, What Makes Love Last?, Gottman continues to enlighten readers on the fundamental concept and importance of trust - the common denominator of all good marriages. Read it, and I believe you will appreciate his insight.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Subversive Sequels in the Bible: How Biblical Stories Mine and Undermine Each Other; Author: Visit Amazon's Judy Klitsner Page; Review: Author Judy Klitsner has written a fascinating and clever analysis of how various stories within the Hebrew bible compliment or subvert one another. Take for example the accounts of Noah and Jonah the prophet how do these stories relate to each other? On the surface, its not so obvious, but when plumbing the depths of the Hebrew text, analyzing the various word plays, allusions, and other literary devices, one can see the connection between the two stories on much deeper level. Aside from Noah and Jonah, Klitsner provides an analysis of other stories that will captivate the reader. This book is definitely worth reading if you want to challenge your perception of the Hebrew bible.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East; Author: Visit Amazon's Scott Anderson Page; Review: I recently started reading Lawrence in Arabia by Scott Anderson and am captivated by the author's writing style. Anderson's description of the events occurring in the Near East at the turn of the 20th Century, and T.E. Lawrence's role as a young British Army officer, is colorful and witty - not to mention elegantly written. If you choose to pick up a copy of this book, don't be surprised how fast time flies once you become ensconced in this enchanting story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maimonides, Spinoza and Us: Toward an Intellectually Vibrant Judaism; Author: Rabbi Marc D. Angel; Review: Rabbi Angel's book, Maimonides, Spinoza and Us, is a refreshing look at classical Judaism from a Maimonidean (rational and intellectual) perspective. In this book, Rabbi Angel discusses how Maimonides and Spinoza reconciled religion (Judaism) and rational thought, with each coming to different conclusions. For Maimonides, rational thought and religion go hand-in-hand, whereas to Spinoza, these two elements are opposed. In Maimonides' mind, religious belief requires the use of one's intellect, and not subjecting one's rational faculties to others for the sake of piety. In Spinoza's mind, religious belief requires giving up one's rational faculties in the pursuit of piety. As for the "Us" part of the title, Rabbi Angel argues convincingly that Maimonides' perspective toward classical Judaism is the correct one and is the proper viewpoint to adopt. A few points regarding Maimonides' perspective, is that he advocated intellectual honesty and did not shy away from participating in the world around him. In addition, Maimonides sought knowledge wherever it could be found, including those who were not of the same people (non-Jewish philosophers) or faith as he. Maimonides was also a universalist in his perspective, such as, anyone (Jewish or not) could achieve perfection, and he held that there are no ontological differences between someone who is Jewish and someone who is not. Finally, Maimonides sought to present a Judaism without superstitious influences, since these influences have a negative impact on one's path to perfection.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gateway to; Author: Zelig Pliskin; Review: Rabbi Pliskin's guide starts with how a person perceives events. In sum, a person can view a situation either positively or negatively, and the amount of happiness a person has in their life is dependent on their thoughts/perspective of life events. Happiness is not dependent upon external factors, but upon how a person views his/her circumstances. While this book is geared for an observant Jewish audience, the concepts apply to anyone. I would rank this as one of the best "self-improvement" books available. Highly recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The God Who Hates Lies: Confronting & Rethinking Jewish Tradition; Author: Visit Amazon's David Hartman Page; Review: Open-minded, unafraid of challenging the status-quo, yet respectful to his traditions, Rabbi David Hartman makes a cogent argument in his book, The God Who Hates Lies. The main crux of Rabbi Hartman's argument is whether Jewish law (halacha) should be anchored to a fixed point(s) in the past (~200 - 400 CE; middle ages) based on the same observations and presumptions made by the sages of the Mishnah and Gemara, and early codifiers of halacha. Hartman argues that it's imperative for halacha to evolve and take into consideration new information and reformulate its perspective in order to deal with contemporary issues (E.g. a woman's role in Judaism, issue of agunot, and converts), as opposed to relying on traditional perspective/solutions which prove to have no constructive effect. On the surface, Hartman's argument may seem radical to some, but really it's not. Jewish history is replete with Jewish leaders making necessary changes in order to facilitate contemporary situations (E.g. The Men of the Great Assembly's change in liturgy, p. 155-156). Rather than (Orthodox Judaism) taking a passive stance in dealing with modern times, Hartman advocates a proactive perspective that engages reality and retains the integrity of halacha.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Goldfinch: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction); Author: Visit Amazon's Donna Tartt Page; Review: Every now and then I will venture into the world of fiction to "cleanse the pallet" from the non-fiction I read. In doing so, I picked up a copy of Donna Tartt's, The Goldfinch, from my neighborhood book store. I didn't know what to expect, but I had positive expectations given the reviews for the book. What I like about this book specifically is Tartt's attention to detail. She describes Theo Decker's (the protagonist) world in colorful detail, from his observations of other people to himself, his emotions, his sense of smell, etc... To write in such detail (and gracefully I might add) requires significant observatory skills by the author, and the ability to transform those observations into meaningful words which convey the essence of a story. If I've learned anything from this book, it's to be more observant of the world around me, and to read more of Ms. Tartt's books.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Maimonides' Confrontation with Mysticism (The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization); Author: Menachem Kellner; Review: In Maimonides' Confrontation with Mysticism, author Menachem Kellner presents a cogent argument showing that Maimonides didn't subscribe to the normative religious ("proto-kabbalistic" or mystical) view of his day. In other words, Maimonides didn't view the world through what Kellner refers to as an ontological/essentialist perspective, like his predecessor, Judah HaLevi (the Kuzari). Rather than viewing Judaism through a mystical lens (which had esoteric reasons for everything), Maimonides was grounded in reality, relying on reason and science to decipher the meaning of Torah and the commandments. The difference in perspective between Maimonides and the prevalent religious thought of his day includes (among many examples Kellner lays out) the role of the sacrificial cult in Judaism and the Hebrew language. For Maimonides, the sacrificial cult/system is an allowance that the Torah makes taking into account Israel's historical circumstance. In other words, the Torah allows sacrifices as a means of weening Israel from neighboring idolatrous practices (which have their own versions of religious sacrifice), with the goal for spiritual perfection. This is contrast to what would be considered proto-kabbalistic thought, which sees the sacrificial cult as essential - with intrinsic value, able to effect changes upon the supernatural - without regards to the historical or social circumstance in which the commandments regarding the sacrificial cult were given. The second example is the Hebrew language, which Maimonides views as conventional (and not that different from other languages), with the exception that it is called the "holy tongue" since it does not contain vulgar words or refer directly to human functions, but uses euphemisms to convey a point. Maimonides doesn't ascribe a magical function to the Hebrew language, in which one can effect change in the material and supernal worlds using the various mystical names of G-d. The proto-kabbalist view does ascribe such a magical function to the Hebrew language. The gulf between Maimonides' perspective and the normative religious perspective of his day was significant as these two examples suggest. This is not surprising since he viewed the normative religious viewpoint as having been tainted with superstitious and erroneous beliefs, and his goal was to rectify these errors by championing a vision of Judaism that would lead the individual to a true understanding of the Torah and hence, spiritual perfection.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Constellation of Vital Phenomena; Author: Visit Amazon's Anthony Marra Page; Review: A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, by Anthony Marra, takes place is war-torn Chechnya, and the novel alternates between a timeline of 1994-2004 discussing how each character's past leads them to their present situation, and how their lives intertwine with one another. The main characters include Akhmed (a failed physician/aspiring artist), Sonja (a wunderkind physician) and her sister Natasha, Dokka (Akmed's neighbor) and his daughter Havaa, Khassan (Akmed's neighbor) and his son Ramzan (an informer for the Feds). The main plot revolves around Akhmed's attempt to keep Havaa safe after her father is taken into custody by the Feds, Sonja's quest to reconcile with her lost sister, and Khassan's dilemma with his son, the informer. Each character has many human failings, and each one's struggle is intensified by the armed struggle that goes on around them. Overall, the novel is well-written, but I found it somewhat somber and hard to engage. Maybe it's due to the lack of redemption facing each character (with the exception of Havaa); or maybe it's due to the gravity of each character's situation (bleak).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Fighting Chance; Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Warren Page; Review: This book provides an excellent glimpse at the life of Senator Warren and her mission to help protect American consumers from the predatory practices of the banking industry.

Title: Onkelos on the Torah Understanding the Bible Text - 5 volume set (English and Hebrew Edition); Author: Visit Amazon's Israel Drazin Page; Review: I recently started using Rabbi Drazin's Onkelos on the Torah as an aid to studying the weekly parasha. The Hebrew and Aramaic typeset is crisp and easy to read, and the English translation with commentary is enlightening. This five volume set is well worth the $.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Bone Clocks Limited Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's David Mitchell Page; Review: This was my introduction to the writing of author David Mitchell. Overall, I like the style of his writing. The book marches at a consistent pace and keeps the reader interested in what is going to happen next. I didn't feel bored with this book, and my level of boredom with a book is the litmus test for books I recommend. If you like books that have a supernatural (I.e. Stephen King supernatural) bent to them, and quick witted characters, then you may like this book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: All the Light We Cannot See; Author: Visit Amazon's Anthony Doerr Page; Review: All the Light We Cannot See is excellently written and interesting. The book is unusual (as related by other reviewers) in that it alternates between the main characters continually in short chapters, and alternates between the present and the past. These elements to the form of the story may be disconcerting/confusing to some, but for me they were a welcome change of format. Overall, this is one of the best fiction books that I've read in awhile, and will recommend to friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sociopath Next Door - The Ruthless Versus The Rest Of Us; Author: Visit Amazon's Martha Stout Page; Review: The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout discusses how a person can recognize (and protect oneself) from sociopaths. Much of the book consists of anecdotes based on the author's professional experience, and is directed to an audience that will appreciate a lack of technical/scientific explanation of the topic, and wants a general understanding of sociopathy. While this books provides some useful tips for recognizing and staying away from people who fit the description of a sociopath, the superficial gloss of the topic doesn't suffice. Also, the book is written in a somewhat dramatic fashion, which doesn't appeal to me as a reader, or as someone who prefers a more scientific/rational approach to the topic.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Mavericks Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's David Pogue Page; Review: I bought this manual when I purchased a Macbook Pro. Although the guide includes a lot of useful info, I learned (after many years of using a PC) to use the Mac via trial and error (as opposed to reading through the guide). I have kept the guide as reference in the event I need to look up something out of the ordinary.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mysteries of Judaism (Maimonides and Rational); Author: Visit Amazon's Israel Drazin Page; Review: In Mysteries of Judaism, author Israel Drazin examines the development of certain practices within traditional/Orthodox Judaism. Rather than the monolithic viewpoint that some streams within Orthodox Judaism present as being "true", Rabbi Drazin shows that classical Judaism is anything but monolithic, and that holidays and practices found within the Torah evolved over time due to historical circumstances (destruction of Temple; loss of religious autonomy; exile) in one form or another. The book covers the Jewish holidays as well as certain practices and contemporary issues. While the chapters are short, they provide a good starting point for the reader to pose questions and examine the issues Rabbi Drazin discusses, at further depth.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rand McNally 2012 Road Atlas United States, Canada, Mexico (Rand McNally Road Atlas: United States/Canada/Mexico); Author: Rand McNally and Company; Review: Rand McNally Road Atlas has been a favorite of mine for years, and is frequently used during my road trips. The maps are easy to navigate, and this collection of maps includes useful information such as a mileage chart (driving distances between 90 North American cities and national parks), mileage and driving times map (distances and driving times between hundreds of North American cities and national parks), and "Best of the Road Trips", which is the editor's six favorite road trips from the "Best of the Road" collection. Although I've purchased the 2016 Road Atlas, I keep my tattered 2004 copy (sans front and back cover) on hand (for sentimental reasons?), which I used to move cross-country a few years ago. These things don't quit, and you'll likely get a lot of mileage out of them (pun intended)! If you're looking for an excellent (and beautifully done) road atlas, Rand McNally is definitely a good option.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH; Author: WILLIAM L. SHIRER; Review: I purchased The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William Shirer, after reading All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr - which takes place in WWII France - to get a better understanding of the context of World War II Europe. Although it is "mammoth" size (around 1100 pages) it reads quickly due to the author's style of writing, and the fact that the author was a war correspondent in Germany during the 30s and 40s, thus providing an additional level of intrigue to this historical account. Aside from what he witnessed and reported, Shirer meticulously relies on primary sources in his detailed account, and doesn't shy away from interjecting his own opinions of the characters involved. Overall, the book is very comprehensive with a lot of detail, and should satisfy those looking for a first hand account of what occurred in 1930-40's Europe. And despite it's length, it is easy to read and bound to keep your attention.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: How to Study in College; Author: Visit Amazon's Walter Pauk Page; Review: How to Study in College, by Walter Pauk, is a classic. I have a copy from the early 80's and the 9th Edition. This book is oriented at giving the student the fundamental skills of: (1) setting goals, (2) managing time, (3) reducing distractions, (4) managing stress, (5) improving reading skills, (6) improving vocabulary, (7) answering exam questions, (8) improving memory, (9) taking effective notes/using notes for review, (10) test performance, (11) getting the most out of class discussions, and (12) writing research papers. These skills are discussed in detail (without being overwhelming), with practical instructions of how to acquire the desired skill. Aside from being useful for studying in college, the lessons are just as useful outside the classroom, and will aid a person in life-long learning.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Magic of Thinking Big; Author: Visit Amazon's David J. Schwartz Page; Review: Legendary football coach Lou Holtz once said, 'After the 1967 season, our entire staff was fired at South Carolina where I was an assistant. My wife bought me a book entitled The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. So I sat down and made a list of all the things I still wanted to accomplish in life, and there were 107 of themmy life changed after I made that list. I think I've accomplished 95 of them.' After his stint at South Carolina, Holtz would assume the head coaching position at Notre Dame and win the national championship in 1988. When I heard Holtzs reference to The Magic of Thinking Big a few years ago, I purchased a worn-out copy from a used book store. What I found inside was author David Schwartzs practical advice about viewing life situations optimistically and the results a change of perspective can have on ones life, as it certainly had on coach Holtz some forty-six years ago. Simple and straight-forward, The Magic of Thinking Big gives the reader a lot to think about.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Changing the Immutable: How Orthodox Judaism Rewrites Its History; Author: Visit Amazon's Marc B. Shapiro Page; Review: I recently finished Changing the Immutable by Marc Shapiro, and found it interesting as well as enlightening. Interesting, because Shapiro discusses how certain segments within Judaism (usually Hareidi) use censorship to influence the masses through the omission of ideas that may be too provocative to their worldview. Enlightening, because it provided me with some further understanding of how "truth" is understood from a classical and contemporary rabbinic perspective, and the basis for when it is justifiable in bending the truth. Shapiro provides multiple examples in supporting his observations on the topics he writes about, and he keeps the content interesting enough where it keeps the reader engaged. Highly recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Limits of Orthodox Theology: Maimonides' Thirteen Principles Reappraised (Littman Library of Jewish Civilization); Author: Visit Amazon's Marc B. Shapiro Page; Review: The Limits of Orthodox Theology, by Marc Shapiro, will likely challenge your perception on the subject of Maimonides' 13 Principles. In this book, Shapiro discusses the many issues (opposing opinions/perspectives) surrounding the 13 Principles, and shows that acceptance (and adherence) was not monolithic among the rabbis. Thoughtful, engaging, well researched and rich in content, this book is highly recommended if you have an interest in the study of Maimonides and/or the "doctrine" he established, the 13 Principles.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage: A novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Haruki Murakami Page; Review: This is the second Murakami book that I've read, the first being 1Q84, so I'm a little "green" when it comes to the depth and breadth of Murakami's works. With that said, I thought Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki was less than what I had expected based on the praise of Murakami's earlier works. One of the issues was the lack of development of subplots in the book (E.g. Haida's father's story and Shiro's personal struggles), but maybe that is because the focus was supposed to be on Tsukuru's isses, not that of the other characters. There also seemed to be some redundancy to the description of Tsukuru's personal journey of resolving his past issues. Then again, maybe this is because his life was average or uninteresting. In the end, it comes to personal taste with regards to the impact a book makes upon the reader. If posed with the question of whether I would recommend this book to a friend, I would say "pass on it."; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ashley Bell; Author: Visit Amazon's Dean. Koontz Page; Review: Two days and 560 pages latter I finished reading the advanced reading copy of Author Dean Koontzs latest novel, Ashley Bell. As a long-time fan of Koontz, I have to say that this is one of his best. From the time you begin on page 1 until you finish the book, you will be hooked. Koontz doesnt give away any hints to what happens later in the story making this novel unpredictable, yet highly interesting. Of course, there are points in the story where you will question the course of events, but will say aha when Koontz ties up the loose ends later in the story line. There are also points in this novel where your skin will crawl (hint: Cookie), which makes this a true Koontzian book. Happy reading!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atlas of the World; Author: Oxford University Press; Review: This is my first world atlas, and I really enjoy it. The detail and quality presented in this atlas is second to none.

Title: The Sages: Character, Context, & Creativity, Volume IV: From the Mishna to the Talmud; Author: Binyamin Lau; Review: In the fourth (and final?) installment of The Sages: Character, Context, & Creativity, Rabbi Dr. Benjamin Lau continues from where volume 3 leaves off, with Rabbi Judah the Prince and the compilation of the Mishnah. Rabbi Judahs monumental achievement sets the stage for the events that will shape religious practice and normative religious thought to this day: the creation of the Talmud. Lau covers this transition in Jewish history and the characters involved. Like his first three volumes, volume 4 is written with the same care and elegance, and kept in balance between the academic and traditional religious perspectives. The book is divided into three parts: 1) The Transitional Generation: - Historical Background - Rebbi's Sons - Levi ben Sisi - Rabbi Hiya the Great - Bar Kappara in Lod - Rabbi Oshaya Rabba - Rabbi Yeshoshua ben Levi - Rabbi Yannai and His Circle - Rabbi Hanina bar Hama 2) Babylonian Jewry During the Sasanian Revolution: - Historical Background: The Sasanian Revolution and Its Significance - The Origins of Babylonian Jewry - Shmuel - Rav - Rav and Shmuel 1: Styles of Learning - Rav and Shmuel 2: The Attitude to Sasanian Rule - Rav and Shmuel 3: The Attitude to the Exilarch - Geniva's Rebellion Against the Exilarch 3) The Early Talmudic Period in the Land of Israel: - Historical Background: Jewish Life in Israel in the Anarchic Period - Rabbi Yohanan bar Nappaha - The Authority of the Mishna - Was the Mishna Written Down? - Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish - Rabbi Yehuda Nesiya - The Destruction of Nehardea and Babylonian Migration to Tiberias - Rabbi Elazar ben Pedat - The Death of Rabbi Yohanan Without hesitation, this book (along with the other three volumes) is worth adding to your collection on early Jewish history, and an excellent aid for those studying/learning Mishnah and Germara.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Under the Dome; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephen King Page; Review: This book (1 volume, 1100 pages) was slow-going when I started it due to the vast number of characters, but after the story begins to take shape, it becomes enjoyable. What I found most interesting about this book (and about King's books in general) is King's description of human nature, his comical descriptions of characters, the inner-life/thoughts of his characters,how ridiculed/downtrodden characters play clutch roles in the fate of those around them, and how the villain(s) is undermined by his/her overconfidence and bad decisions. I found myself chuckling frequently reading this book. A couple of things make this book successful from my perspective as a reader. First, the story contains an element of suspense since we are not told who or what created the dome scenario or if the inhabitants of Chester Mill (the dome-covered town) will live to see life outside of the dome until later in the story. Second, despite the number of characters, the story is easy to follow due to King's ability to masterfully interweave their lives in a coherent fashion. If there are any impediments to the story, it would be the number of characters involved. However, once you get used to this, the story (as mentioned earlier) becomes enjoyable. .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Finders Keepers: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephen King Page; Review: After reading Mr. Mercedes, I decided to give Finders Keepers - the second volume of the Bill Hodges series - a go. Instead of print, I opted for the audio book version, narrated by Will Patton. Being "new" to audio books, I must say I was impressed by (1) Stephen King's brilliance as a writer, and (2) Will Patton's gifted telling of the story. Like Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers begins with a grisly crime. Unlike Mr. Mercedes, Hodges doesn't become involved in the story until the later half. The first half of the story involves the murder of a well-known author by a man named "Morris" in the late seventies, Morris' stashing of his loot of cash and unpublished manuscripts of the murdered man, Morris' incarceration for 30+ years (convicted on an unrelated crime), and the loot being found by a teenager (during Morris' incarceration). As one would surmise, Morris and the teenager cross paths, and this is where Hodges, Jerome, and Holly enter the stage. Overall, the story is an interesting one, and should provide plenty of reading (or listening) pleasure for King's (and Hodges') fans.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Inevitably, Mark shares his most important insights by his vivid descriptions of Machu Picchu and the surrounding Inca settlements leading to it. What was Machu Picchu? What purpose did it serve the Incas? To find out the answers, pick up this wonderful tale of a mans journey into the Peruvian Amazon.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Travelers: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Chris Pavone Page; Review: The Travelers was my introduction to the author Chris Pavone. The Travelers is the name of a travel magazine that the protagonist, Will Rhodes, works at. Unbeknownst to Will, the travel mag is a cover for a spy ring, which he eventually comes into contact with. The rest is details. From the get-go, the book captured my interest and moves along at a quick pace, not foreshadowing what is about to happen a few pages away. There are some parts (particularly in the end with the dialogue between Elle, Malcolm, and Will at the Orange house in Iceland) which seem kind of "corny" and cliche. Overall, though, I enjoyed reading the book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality; Author: Visit Amazon's Max Tegmark Page; Review: This book in not short in surprises, as author Max Tegmark (Professor at MIT), delves into the fascinating subject of cosmology, and discusses how the field has advanced since Friedmanns theory - Big Bang- came into fruition in the early 20th Century. The book progresses from the non-controversial to controversial (or most debated) topics in Cosmology. Tegmark not only makes cosmology understandable to his audience, but he makes it interesting and fun as well two traits of a master teacher.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The High Mountains of Portugal: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Yann Martel Page; Review: The High Mountains of Portugal was my recent introduction to Yann Martel. The book is divided into three novellas which intersect each other at various points in time, and each story is very unusual to say the least. This is one of those books where Im left with more questions than answers, and feel intrigued by Martels use of symbolism (what do all these apes mean?). In short, Martel doesnt employ the oft used story line formula, intended to bring closure to an audience. The absence of this formula will leave some readers feeling chagrined, but if you like originality, this book delivers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The City & The City; Author: C. Mieville; Review: The City and the City was my recent introduction to China Mieville based on a co-worker's recommendation. The story is highly original and complex, and I would categorize it as belonging to the detective genre. The characters in the story are well-developed and the plot is easy to follow despite the background in which the story takes place (I.e. the uniqueness of the two cities - Beszel and Ul Qoma - which overlap each other). The story begins with a woman (graduate student) being murdered, and the chief protagonist, Detective Borlu (of the city of Beszel), must navigate the complex relationship between the two cities in order to find who is responsible. Eventually, Borlu must work with his doppleganger from Ul Qoma to solve the case. The author skillfully takes the reader through the labyrinth that Borlu must go through to find the killer. I give the book 5 stars for its originality and for Mieville's excellent writing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Picador Books); Author: Visit Amazon's Gabriel Garcia Marquez Page; Review: Chronicle of a Death Foretold was my first glimpse into the works of Garcia Marquez. The book is brief and is about the narrator's journey back into Columbia to inquire about the death of Santiago Nasar. Nasar was the victim of two brother's rage - they accuse Nasar of violating their sister prior to her wedding, and take the duty of avenging their sister's honor. The book revolves around Nasar's death and looks at the circumstances surrounding his murder. A question that arises is "why didn't people try to intervene more than they did?" given that the death of Nasar was "foretold" by the brothers who intended to kill him? Perhaps it's because the author is drawing a christological parallel between Nasar and the main protagonist of the New Testament, with the characters of the story representing characters found in the gospels (the brothers' names are Pedro and Pablo - apostolic names). There are other allusions that suggest that this was the author's intent, which makes this story interesting to analyze.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Turn of the Screw and Other Stories (Penguin modern classics); Author: Visit Amazon's Henry James Page; Review: Turn of the Screw was my intro into the works of Henry James. The intro for the story is excellent and gives the reader insight into how the story has been interpreted from many points of view. Many are divided as to decide if the governess is the heroine or the villain, or whether the ghosts she sees are part of her imagination or real. Being a novice of literature, would this book prompt me to read other works of Henry James? Given James penchant for keeping the reader interested through suspense,his excellent writing style, and brevity, I think so.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dark Matter; Author: Visit Amazon's Garfield Reeves-Stevens Page; Review: From the get-go, Dark Matter caught my interest with its fast-paced storyline. It is very original in its content as it touches upon the application of Schrodinger's cat phenomenon to the main protagonist, who happens to be a physics professor, who finds himself in an alternative universe. Blake Crouch doesn't add filler to the story, and the result is one of the best books that I've read this year. Blake Crouch has earned himself a new fan.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Honda Civic/del Sol, 1996-2000 (Chilton Total Car Care Series Manuals); Author: Visit Amazon's Kevin M. G. Maher Page; Review: Chilton manuals tend to be somewhat too general for my taste. Aside from having this manual as a reference, I've found youtube videos helpful, when trying to resolve a specific mechanical/car problem. I would say save your $ and borrow this manual, or find alternative resources to solve your mechanical issue(s).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Damnificados: A Novel (Spectacular Fiction); Author: Visit Amazon's JJ Amaworo Wilson Page; Review: Damnificados is an excellent debut from JJ Wilson. His style of writing is original and his cast of characters unique. In Damnificados, you'll meet up with Nacho Morales and his motley cast of misfits as they take over an abandoned skyscraper in their quest to find a home. Once Nacho and his people are settled in their new digs, that is when the drama begins. The family (Torres) that founded the building want it back, and Nacho and his people must find a way to oppose them against all odds. What results is a contradiction to nature, that is both spectacular and magical!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Stephen King Page; Review: Book 2, The Drawing of the Three, of the Dark Tower series is where we see Stephen King work his magic in his amazing skill to weave a fascinating story. Book 2 is highly polished compared to Book 1, the Gunslinger, and reminiscent of the author we all know and love. I recently finished reading this book for a second time (the first time in high school over 20 years ago), and remembered what captivated me the first time. There are particular moments in King's books, and specifically in his older works like The Drawing of the Three, that hook the reader, not only on the level of interest in the story, but on an emotional level. For me, the scene in Book 2 was when Eddie and Roland are walking up the beach in search for door number 2, and Eddie is recounting his life to Roland. Aside from the excellent writing in this scene, one notices the depth to which Stephen King can reach the heart. I won't give away any details, but this is a "must read" if you're a Stephen King fan.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephen King Page; Review: The Dark Tower's series so far (I have 1 more book to go as of 3/26/17), has been a satisfying reading experience since I started the series this past January. Admittedly, it would be hard for me to give King anything less than 4 stars since he is one of my favorite authors, and hence the difficulty for me to filter out my bias. In any event, book 6 of the Dark Tower series is a fascinating read into the Ka-tet's ongoing journey to save the Dark Tower. In this volume, Susanna has been whisked away by her alien counterpart, Mia, to New York City, in the year of 1999, with Jake and Callahan in hot pursuit to save her. Meanwhile, Roland and Eddie are in Maine, in the year of 1977, to find Cal Tower and to secure purchase of the land that contains the rose, which plays a fundamental part in the Tower's survival. Probably, the most interesting part of the story is when our beloved author, Stephen King, makes a cameo, and the story goes meta. This occurs about 3/4 of the way through the story. Particularly, his self-description goes from self-appreciating to self-depreciating, which made me chuckle. He likewise, plays a fundamental role in the Tower's survival (go figure). If you made it through the first five books, it will please you to continue on and read this one. You won't be disappointed!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems (Bilingual Edition) (English and Spanish Edition); Author: Pablo Neruda; Review: Nerudas poetry is resplendent and beautiful. Youll want to learn Spanish, if only to read Nerudas poetry in its original form: Inclinado en las tardes tiro mis tristes redes a tus ojos oceanicos. Alli se estira y arde en la mas alta hoguera mi soledad que da vueltas los brazos como un naufrago. (Veinte Poemas De Amor:7) The collection of poetry found in The Essential Neruda was curated by Neruda scholars, with the intent to cover the breadth and width of Nerudas various styles and themes. Overall, its an excellent starting point to becoming acquainted with - as Columbian novelist Gabriel García Márquez once said - "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language."; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NOS4A2: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Joe Hill Page; Review: Imagine if you will, a wonderland where every day is Christmas. A wonderland with a ten story tall tree in the middle - decked to the nines with ornaments - surrounded by a supersized Ferris wheel that fits a dozen people per car, and a wooden roller coaster. A wonderland where you drink hot cocoa every day and listen to holiday tunes such as Silver Bells, Feliz Navidad, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, among others. If you cant, Charlie Manx sure can. You see, this wonderland or as he calls it, Christmasland exists in his mind. Charlie Manx, a serial child abductor, has been roaming the country in his Rolls Royce Wraith (license plate# NOS4A2) for many years now looking to recruit and bring children to Christmasland. Where, once there, they do not return. Happy reading.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blood Meridian : Or, the Evening Redness in the West (Picador Books); Author: Visit Amazon's Cormac McCarthy Page; Review: David Foster Wallace once said that "good fiction's job is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." There is no doubt that Cormac McCarthy's classic, Blood Meridian, accomplishes this goal. The book follows a ragtag group of men who skirt through Mexico in the 1800's in an effort to earn their keep through a ruthless, and violent, activity. What is unusual (or one of the unusual things) is the lyrical way in which the story is written. This literary flourish compounds the shock the reader may experience when confronted with the actions of the characters. Disturbing? Definitely. This book is not for the faint of heart.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: All of Us: The Collected Poems; Author: Visit Amazon's Raymond Carver Page; Review: Raymond Carver is mostly known for his short stories, which focus on the blue collar experience and ordinary people. His style of writing has been classified as "dirty realism," and he describes himself as being "inclined toward brevity and intensity." Less well-known is Carver's poetry. Like his short stories, his poetry is deceptively simple and straight forward. And like his short stories, Carver is able to paint a literary masterpiece with the barest essentials. This collection contains all of Carver's poetry - published and (previously) unpublished. If you're a fan of Carver, this collection is a must-have.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Koheles-Ecclesiastes: Ecclesiastes = Megilat Kohelet : A New Translation With a Commentary Anthologised from Talmudic, Midrashic and Rabbinic Sources; Author: Visit Amazon's Meir Zlotowitz Page; Review: As far as traditional/religious text based commentaries go on the book of Ezekiel, I think this one stands out. Like other commentaries in the Artscroll TNK series, the commentary accompanying the Hebrew and English text is comprehensive and culled mostly from traditional sources such as Rashi, Ramban, Rambam, and other Rishonim (I.e. Medieval rabbis) and Talmud/Gemara. The commentary openly acknowledges that certain parts of the text are not decipherable, such as Ezekiel's vision of the Chariot, given the unique nature of the vision. The commentary also points out to the use of paronomasia (wordplay, puns) in the visions. Apparently, dire prophetic utterances incorporate more sophisticated language and stylistic linguistic devices to emphasize the serious nature of the message being conveyed. The result is a text - while serious in its message - that is beautiful and poetic.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Logitech 981-000018 CLEARCHAT STYLE PREMIUM BEHIND-THE-HEAD PC HEASET; Brand: Logitech; Review: PROS: -> Great mic. -> Good sound. CONS: -> I've been through a few of these within 1 year... at $25 a piece, i expected them to last alot longer. -> Cables are VERY fragile. (all it takes is 1 accidental tug, and mic AND sound starts messing up). -> Have had more than 8 people complain to me that they can hear themselves, and whatever is on my computer. (and NO, I did not have speakers on). -> After only 2 months, they went for me (about 4 of them). -> Have to constantly wiggle the cable around to get both speakers to work, and mic. -> If i move my head, LITERALLY about an inch, they mess up again. All in all, they were great, til ALL of them decided to break. NOTE: I'm VERY careful with my things, especially electronics. (I even have playstation 1 game disks with NO scratches or smudges from when i was younger). I've always been very careful with valuables. Don't waste your money. I LOVE logitech, and it hurts me to say that :P I have speakers that work flawlessly from them for over a year or 2. TL;DR: Great for a couple months, then break. Have been through 4 within a year.

If you sweat while wearing the ones the headset came with, you'll love and appreciate these for those long gaming sessions.

Title: Houzer 2522-9BS3-1 Glowtone Series Topmount Stainless Steel 3-hole Single Bowl Kitchen Sink, 9-Inch Deep; Brand: HOUZER; Review: when I replaced our dishwasher,our 60 year old copper piping of the kitchen collapsed. It had been connected to our old sink and it was impossible to separate the sink from the piping except sawing it off. So, I needed a new sink and faucets too. This one came after 2 days, fitted perfectly. Added the faucets, replaced the copper piping with new plastic piping and now everything works perfectly again. I liked that everything is standard and easy to install. This is how things have to be: standards everywhere. The only caveat: the included fitting screws would not work with my setup. But since the fitting is so perfect, filling in plumber putty on the rim and pressing the sink in made the sink already securely fixed. The seller definitely has to change the documentation as the documentation on how to add the fixture does not match the screws and the fixtures which are included.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oatey Plumber's Putty - 31166; Brand: Oatey; Review: a must when installing a new sink or faucet. I only wished, it had a bit more in one container.

There could be a bit more information on the container telling how long it takes to dry (it takes several days).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Peerless P299578LF-SS Choice Two Handle Kitchen Faucet, Stainless Steel; Brand: Peerless; Review: with the old setup, we always had difficulty to get water into the caldron. This one looks good and is also high enough so that the faucet does not get into the way. It is a nice standard kitchen faucet, setup is trivial. Yes, it is not the most luxurious one, but will do the job for a couple of years. It is also affordable enough so that one could replace it again without breaking the wallet. Since everything is standard, replacing it takes a couple of minutes only. I actually like the simplicity of the faucet. No smaller parts, which are difficult to clean. The curvatures are everywhere big enough so that one can wipe it clean easily.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: TEKTON 2672 12-Inch Basin Wrench; Brand: TEKTON; Review: the usual wrench worked better. I find it a bit tricky to get a grip with this one. Maybe I don't know how to use it right but a good wrench worked better for rebuilding sink, drain and water stuff in the kitchen.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Does not need much water because of the better geometry. Has two flushing buttons, one for little things, which also lowers water use. Was easy to install after the old one had been ripped off.

Title: Sani Seal Llc BL01 Waxless Toilet Gasket; Brand: SANI SEAL; Review: I did not use it in the end as I got worried whether it would fit and remain tight and because I did not see it fit well together with the setup we have. So, I used the wax ring which in our case was doing a good job for many years. The reason for the lower review is that I could not fit it with our geometry and because of the lack of instruction in case of an old uneven pipe. Yes, the wax removal of the old one was a bit messy but it seems have done the job well over decades. I guess that in case of a new house with a perfect pipe, I would try it again to avoid the wax mess.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: American Standard 0282.008.020 Retrospect Pedestal Console Sink Top with 8-Inch Faucet Spacing, White; Brand: American Standard; Review: Wonderful sink. Very comfortable with enough space on the side. Looks expensive. The only complaint is that it had appeared as if one could use the sink alone without the stand (our old sink had been like that). But this is very unrealistic as the sink is quite heavy (it can be carried by one person without problem) but the torque it would produce on the back screws would be impossible to carry. Maybe in a new house where the back can be attached well or with a special mount. It seems however really as if the sink is made together for the American Standard 8711.000.002 stand. I initially bought without the stand. As it arriived, it was immediately clear that there would be no way to attach this to our wall. Got the stand a few days later. Together, it is great.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: American Standard 8711.000.002 Retrospect Console Table Legs, Polished Chrome,American Standard,8711000.002" />; Brand: American Standard; Review: I got this for the American Standard 0282.008.020 Retrospect sink. Originally, I had planned to use that sink without the console, but this is not possible (actually, this should be clearly indicated there). Yes, it is quite an investment but the chrome looks good. I did the assembly without the instructions as they are a bit complicated to read. But if one looks at the picture and just puts things where they belong, it is no problem (I needed one hour). The Sink fits perfectly on it and the stand is so stable that the sink almost does not need to be attached. The sink is a bit heavy (which makes it look nice and expensive) but there is no way that the sink can be attached to a wall without the danger of breaking off. Now, it is enough to have the sink attached with wick seal. This together with a good PTrap (I got the Kohler K 9000 which is high quality and strong), the sink is now well attached.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SoHoMiLL YL 99 Electronic Door Knob (Spring Latch LOCK; Not Smartphone Connected; Not Deadbolt), 2 3/8" x 2; Brand: SoHoMiLL; Review: I installed three of them in less than an hour in total.:Put in battery, remove old locks (4 screws) and put in new ones. Setting it up is easy too and takes a few seconds. I'm only concerned about battery life or failure but this has to be evaluated later. In our case, with three doors, it is unlikely that all locks would become unusable at the same time so that I'm not that worried and. Having not to carry around keys is nice. The lock has a mode where only one button needs to be pushed to open it. I think it would be nice if there was an additional mode, where the lock is disabled and so that the door is always open and no battery life is used. Also nice would be an option a user could chose so that if the battery would fail, the door would be open. Currently, the door will remain locked without power in the batteries. (an emergency plug is present which would allow to power the lock temporarily using an external battery pack and enable the lock).; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: KOHLER GENUINE PART GP1021724-CP KITCHEN FAUCET SIDE SPRAY WITH HOSE; Brand: Kohler; Review: works well. Its cheap and also feels a bit as such, when you use it (but one does not see it!). But since this is used often and probably needs to be replaced every once and then, a cheaper version is nice. It was for a replacement of an older one (a more expensive one) which had leaked. Unfortunately, I did not look at the connector. The old one had a fast connect which did not fit with this one. But I could just take the spray part off and leave the old pipe. Would be nice if it came with a quick connect adapter.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Tools_and_Home_Improvement |

Title: The House of the Spirits; Author: Isabel Allende; Genres: history, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Ok, like seriously, you need to read this book. In my best old-school DJ voice, "This one here goes out to the ladies with intellect and a whimsy disposition." House of Spirits is an epic tale full of the intersecting plot lines, mesmerizing characters, and passionate and all-encompassing relationships that we love in romance novels..but it's extremely well-written. That's all you need, yo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Portable Promised Land; Author: Toure; Genres: paranormal, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: so...does my *** rating make me less of a boho chic geek?? i read tppl after hearing how dope, fresh, witty, weird, and engaging it was for the 25th time in seven years. i dug it, but it didn't resonate with me in the way most of my friends(who share similar tastes in tomes) had mentioned. yes, books can transcend time, but i believe that this work is located in a specific moment, experience, and clique--one that if i had read it c. 2003-05, i'd be evangelizing its greatness along with the crew. but i didn't. i had a markedly different response. after reading code, the source, baldwin, octavia butler, and dick gregory, listening to mooney, sv, martin, stokely, nina, amp and flora, and seeing the sky turn electric blue as the sun rises in NYC after leaving anything dope, fresh, weird, or curious, i replied with a chuckle, grin, and "umm mmm." been there, saw that, know him, am her. thanks for the walk down memory lane, toure.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Invisible Man; Author: Ralph Ellison; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I know, I know... yes , I was reading "Invisible Man" for the first time this year, and after finishing it, I completely understand why I've been given the sideye for the past 10 years. It's an excellent book--one that's meant to be processed and reflected upon alone and in conversation. My best friend and I decided to read it together over the summer and the most interesting thing happened--we reverted to our high school AP English days and began taking notes and developing discussion questions, and we loved every minute of it! The text is so rich and full of points of entry and departure that address so many issues near and dear to our hearts and collective consciousness like education, leadership, class, assimilation, humanity, fear, and control. Definitely a must read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sophia Loren: A Biography; Author: Warren G. Harris; Genres: non-fiction, history, biography, historical fiction; Review: There's always something to learn from biographies, and this version of Sophia Loren's was no exception. Pretty girls all around the world who use what they have to get what they want can benefit from reading Loren's story. Now that the positive qualifiers are out of the way, it took me awhile to warm up to the writing style (think Star magazine meets the 400+ page bio franchise-- abrasive, boring, noncommittal and absurd at times, but you hang in there because you're not a quitter) and adjust to random pages being removed from the book because Sophia's assets are displayed on the following page (thank you Harold Washington Public Library). The author provided a wealth of information on the social and political climates in Italy and the States, especially during the 1920-50s, which was really helpful to someone who likes history, but rarely reads about it. However, it lacked the "juice" that only someone with inside information could provide. 2.5; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: How to Be: Contemporary Etiquette for African Americans; Author: Harriette Cole; Genres: non-fiction; Review: I want to meet Harriet Cole, thank her for writing this book, and ask for a job. "How to Be" is not just an etiquette book, it's a good start in tackling issues that affect the Black community. Knowledge of one's history, promoting the value of the African American experience, and a crash crash course in showing love and appreciation are what this book promotes. Who would've thought it would be a book that offers practical, centered, and gracious advice on how to maneuver through life successfully and authentically. After reading it, who wouldn't.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle; Author: Steven Pressfield; Genres: non-fiction, fiction; Review: Hello, my name is Makeba and it has been 22 days since I've thought about writing and decided to do something else instead. I write everyday, and this book helped me do it. "The War of Art" made me feel bad about my relationship with the creative process. She would invite me out and I'd decide to wash my hair instead. He would call and I'd push the button that sent it straight to voicemail. I was a lousy friend. Illuminating what Pressfield defines as resistance and turning pro turned the tables on myself and forced me to take a hard look at my habits and decide if I was hungry enough to change them. I'm on day three of beans and rice; I'm hungry. I started the book identifying with the person who wrote the forward-- a fellow procrastinator capable of banging out a decent product-- and finished it seeking ways to exhibit the same qualities Steven has-- discipline, integrity, and patience. Highly Recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Spook Who Sat by the Door; Author: Sam Greenlee; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, mystery; Review: Saw the movie years ago; this book does not disappoint. I'm halfway through + am thinking about how interesting it is in conversation with 'Django Unchained,' the current political climate, and the bad ass protagonist cannon. Can't wait to talk to someone about this book. Can't wait to start giving the book to folks as gifts, Can't wait to finish it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Numerology, the Romance in Your Name; Author: Juno Jordan; Genres: non-fiction; Review: I revisit this book multiple times a year. It's not your run of the mill "ohhh, what will my future hold book." This gem is well-written, expansive, and inspirational. If you're naturally curious, a planner + are willing to receive some on point feedback, buy this book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lagoon; Author: Nnedi Okorafor; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: We've heard it all before. The saying that we do not choose books, they choose us. Lagoon has officially been added to my "She Chose Me Shelves." It was a two-year meandering road, but I finally reached The End. And it was worth it. In fact, it felt that if I picked it up a year sooner, the effect might not have been so great. Lagoon is placed within the lineage of Colson Whitehead's The Intuitionist--where buildings are people and cities are beloved and complicated family members. Yes, Lagoon is of the sci-fi/fantasy persuasion, but it is also a love story and travel log. In 2016, contemplating the possibility of alien invasion is not so absurd. The times we're living in make us simultaneously question and believe in our humanity, ingenuity, and strength. Nnedi Okorafor places this scenario in Lagos, Nigeria. Not only does it work, it glows and mesmerizes. The characters are well developed, the book's pacing is spot on, and I found myself interacting with the text: laughing at, talking to, and holding space with It. You know a book is good when you reach the "end" and start turning beyond the white page and hope there's more. There actually is! The author provides a glossary of sorts for some of the slang and coded language used throughout (I was so enthralled and felt so cared for by the artist that it made sense even though the words weren't familiar). The acknowledgements added additional texture to the text and provided a few "a-has" and "hmms," and the post chapter...well that was the only part that didn't resonate because by the time I reached it, I couldn't relate to the unbelievers because I was already "...a bit...alien."; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Bel Canto: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Ann Patchett Page; Review: I bought this book really wanting and expecting to like it. I read that it was on several people's top ten book list. The premise sounded interesting. After the first chapter the story stalls, very little happens until the next to last chapter, and the last chapter makes no sense at all. I diddn't care for any of the characters so I gotta ask; what the ...??? How did this book manage to win a prize? At one point the author actually writes something like... "then one week later". It's a bad sign when an author has to skip over one week's worth of her own fiction to move the story along. Sorry but I can't recommend it. Life is too short to waste time reading so-so writing.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian; Author: Visit Amazon's Marina Lewycka Page; Review: I read two books from this author; A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian and Two Caravans. I recommend them both. Thoroughly enjoyable. I liked the characters, the writing was entertaining, some parts truly funny and other parts hard and sad as real life is. I even learned a few things about migrant workers; a nice surprise or by-product of reading Two Caravans, I wasn't expecting that. Don't make my mistake though, I didn't realize that Strawberry Fields and Two Caravans are the same book but with different titles. Oh well now I have 2 copies. I liked these two books enough to read them again. The characters have stayed with me, so go for it and enjoy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wetlands; Author: Visit Amazon's William J. Mitsch Page; Review: This book is so bad, I don't even want to waste time reviewing it. I'll just say that it is juvenile beyond belief. Think fart jokes that make teenagers giggle. Give it a pass. If you're that curious about it, I'll give you my copy. Take it, please.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Graveyard Book; Author: Visit Amazon's Neil Gaiman Page; Review: I enjoyed this book and was thinking recently that I might buy another copy. I lent my copy and I know I'll never see it again. Why do I not write my name in all my books; at least if they weren't returned, it wouldn't be because they didn't know who it belonged to. Oh well I hope whoever has it now is enjoying it as much as I did. Hope it didn't end up in a yard sale for like a dime.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: O' Artful Death: a Mystery; Author: Sarah Taylor; Review: There's nothing wrong with this story, I guess it just didn't meet my expectations. I had read a review that this book contained interesting facts about Victorian art (as used in gravestones), their meaning, etc. And although the cover pretty much made me think that there would be quite a bit of that, there wasn't much. I sort of bought the book expecting to learn more about that, as well as hoping for a good story. I intended to buy the other books by this author that are part of this theme. Won't now.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Generations Traditional Isfahan Persian Area Rugs Beige Brown 5'2 x 7'3; Brand: Generations; Review: Beautiful rug ... great price. Very happy with our purchase. We bought two of these rugs to use in high traffic areas of our home which has mostly hard wood floors. They are both wearing well but per other reviews LOVE to slide around. You can purchase rug tape from Amazon for about $10 which will be more than enough to hold down 20 of these rugs. I highly recommend ... just buy something to keep them in place as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Furinno 11174WH(EX)/WH Just No Tools Mid TV Stand, White w/White Tube; Brand: Furinno; Review: I would agree with many reviewers that despite the claims that this can handle a 95 lb TV -- it's just not solid enough. I wouldn't put my TV on it. However, I got it to put on my desk to convert to a "standing level desk" and it works quite well for that purpose. I can just barely squeeze in my dual 27 inch monitors and keyboard/mouse set up. It brings a traditional desk height to just the right height for it's intended purpose (I'm only 5 ft 5 inches though so a taller person may need something higher). Most similar products branded for "desk conversion" use are $75+ so I've been very happy with this less than half priced option. Also, it's SUPER easy to put together. Takes no tools and was together in under 3 minutes - and I'm by no means handy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Comfort Glow EMF160 Mini Hearth Electric Fireplace, Wood Grain 4100 BTUs; Brand: Comfort Glow; Review: Cute but not functional ... in part because the "fire light" function broke within a week of light use ... and in part because it's not nearly as functional as most heaters in this price range. No timer, no temp settings. Very basic controls for fire light only, low or high. Also, it made a funny clicking sound when on. If it had continued to work, I wouldn't have returned it. For the price, I can live without a timer or temp setting and the clicking quickly faded into the background. Thank goodness for Amazon's awesome return policy :); Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Melitta 46893 12-Cup Coffee Maker; Brand: Melitta; Review: Looks nice, but broke in just under a year of usage. Shortest lived coffee maker I've every owned.

This time around I'll spend the extra money for a quality piece of equipment.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: The Williams Inn; City: Williamstown Massachusetts; Review: We visit Williamstown a few times a year and usually stay at the Orchards. However, we have stayed a the Williams Inn several times. The Orchards was fully booked, so we checked into the Williams Inn. We stayed for two nights. Our room was never made up. At the end of the first day (we were out of the room for 14 hours and did not have a "do not disturb" sign on the door). We called the front desk and they apologized, but never offered fresh towels, nor was there an apology when we checked out. On day two, we phoned to have coffee brought to the room (since we did not have fresh supplies due to the lack of attention from the maid service) and were told that room service was not available. They are nice people, but definitely need to work on customer service.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Wildcat Inn Tavern; City: Jackson New Hampshire; Review: We've visited the Wildcat Inn and Tavern for many years. The food is consistently delicious and the service is always helpful and friendly. Make reservations if you plan on visiting during the weekend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Eagle Mountain House Golf Club; City: Jackson New Hampshire; Review: We have been visiting Jackson, NH for twenty years. Our most recent stay was for New Year's Eve 2015/2016. The Eagle Mountain House is a New England classic hotel, one of few remaining hotels from the "golden age" of the grand hotel. It has great character, but it can boast warm, friendly staff members who are helpful in offering advice about the local trails, conditions, and activities. The restaurant has a new menu -- honoring regional classics while giving them a new twist. If you want a cookie-cutter hotel, or one that's identical to hotels you may have stayed in along the highway, the Eagle Mountain House isn't your choice. But, if you don't revel in the mundane, if you value heritage and character, and if you care about personal attention, this is your best option in the Mount Washington Valley.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Williams Inn; City: Williamstown Massachusetts; Review: After a disappointing visit to the Willliams Inn last year, we returned to try again this year. We are very glad we did. The staff was helpful and very courteous, the food was quite good, and one cannot beat the location. We are very glad we returned to the Williams Inn, and we applaud the staff and management for their care for their customers. BRAVO!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The 1896 House Country Inn Barnside Inn; City: Williamstown Massachusetts; Review: We visit Williamstown at least once a year, visiting friends and enjoying the cultural landscape. We usually stay at the Williams Inn, but thought we'd try for a bargain at the 1896 House ($200/night). It was easy to make a reservation, and the check-in process was smooth. The staff, when we spoke with them, were very cheerful and professional. We didn't expect a five-star hotel. The 1896 House is clean, though the grounds would benefit from a basic landscape clean up. There are weeds throughout the property, and it generally looks untidy. The room was clean, but very dated. So, the stay was fine, but the room rate was overpriced for the age and condition of the property.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Homestead Inn; City: New Milford Connecticut; Review: We often visit the area to go to the car shows and races at Lime Rock and explore this beautiful part of Connecticut. Our last stay at the Homestead Inn was about 12 years ago. It was fine and the people were nice, but it wasn't great. In the dozen years that followed, we were Litchfield County nomads, wandering from one B&B to another. We had some favorites, and they became our "go to" places. Alas, last week, all of our "A List" B & B's were booked, so we returned to the Homestead Inn. What a wonderful experience! The establishment has been completely renovated. It is immaculately clean and has retained the charm and detail of an early 20th-century Inn. The staff members are welcoming and gracious; they think of nice little touches such as refrigerators downstairs with cold drinks, and coffee and tea out and available all the time. Then, there is the breakfast. Eggs, apple chutney, bacon, French Toast, juice.....it's a very filling, well prepared, elegantly presented breakfast. I could go on with compliments, but they would reiterate the many lovely comments made by other guests. We are so grateful that fate brought us back to the Homestead Inn....we will definitely return!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Charlottetown; City: Charlottetown Prince Edward Island; Review: The Holiday Inn Express is a convenient place for families when exploring Charlottetown.

The breakfast was crowded every morning, but the staff managed to keep up quite well. Very good, reliable choice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Coombe Abbey Hotel; City: Coventry West Midlands England; Review: We booked one night at Coombe Abbey because of its convenient location and out of curiosity. The entrance to the Abbey is wonderful, along a very long driveway adjacent to the beautiful Coombe Country Park, and then over a small bridge to the building. The rooms are charming and memorable; we had a three-level room overlooking the park. A friendly staff, excellent restaurant, and thoughtful amenities made this a visit we will always remember.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel; City: Toledo Ohio; Review: I booked the Renaissance because it was close to a meeting. The hotel is irritating for a business traveller. First, the rooms are extraordinarily dark. Stylish little lights on the desk and at the bed don't do much for brightening the room. If you want to work at night or in the pre-dawn hours, the bathroom is the best and brightest choice. Add to it VERY dark hallways, DARK elevators, and a DARK lobby, and the feeling is generally creepy. Everything at the hotel is a near-miss. Yes, they have coffee in the room. But, they only provide you with decaffeinated coffee. Yes, they have restaurants, but there aren't many healthy choices. I hadn't been to Toledo in a few years, and had forgotten that everything in Toledo is pretty close to everything else. So, perhaps this is a cool place to stay if you are there for a wedding or party, but not if you need to get some work done.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

When I saw this on Amazon I felt it could be (fingers crossed) a perfect first shoe. It is! He loves them. Running in the park, finally able to get out of the stroller at the mall and walk around. From going to walking barefoot at home, to public areas, these have been great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carter's Baby Boys' 5-Pack S/S Bodysuits - Orange/Navy - 6 Months; Brand: Carter's; Review: Carter's bodysuits are always good quality and fit as expected. Very reliable company to buy baby clothes from. For my next baby I will stick mainly to Carters since I always know what I am going to get!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Skip Hop Toddler Backpack, 12" Monkey School Bag, Multi; Brand: Skip Hop; Review: This is a great size for a toddler, but once they are going to stay at school all day long you need a bigger bag to carry back and forth all the items from a full school day. For a half-day preschool it's plenty of space, cute as can be, and a size that allows the child to wear it on his/her back easily without falling over!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

They are super sturdy, look nice and allow his feet to "breathe" on hot days. Although they have easy on Velcro straps, they aren't easy for him to pull off, which is great for me! The open wide to put those feet in and when he gets them wet, they dry pretty quickly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: FitFlop Women's Lunetta Thong Sandal; Brand: ; Review: After my first child I "found" fitflops and loved them. Living in a hot climate I am always in some type of sandal and Fitflops are sturdy and comfortable. Being pregnant again I ordered myself a few new styles to ease the walking, especially as my feet will inevitably start to swell. The other designs I got fit well, but this one is a bit tight along the top and also not as flattering as it seemed. I've only worn them twice around the house but never out yet.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Reef Men's Swellular Cushion Lux Sandal; Brand: ; Review: My husband loves these. He finds them the most comfortable compared to many other brands and styles that he has tried. We got them for him in 2 colors (brown and grey) and he wears them both all the time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: v28 Superhero's Unisex-baby All in 1 Fancy Romper Suits with Cape; Brand: v28; Review: I ordered this in size 18months for my 21 month old based on other reviews that said it was a bit big. It's a great size for him and I think that a 24 month size (that he wears in most other items) would have been too big. He is long and thin though, so if your little one is a more typical chubby baby then the sizing might be right. The overall design is super cute though. It's much better made then I expected so I'm sure we'll find other times for him to wear it after Halloween before he outgrows it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carter's Baby Boys' 7 Pack Bodysuits (Baby) - Assorted Stripe; Brand: ; Review: we live in a hot climate so my little guy sleeps in bodysuits every night. These are cute and comfortable (as Carters always are) and they make a great week's worth of PJs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crocs Women's Leigh Wedge Sandal; Brand: ; Review: These were better than I expected. I don't often like to wear heels or wedges since I am on my feet a lot and my feet get sore or blistered easily. But these were great.

Title: Defender of the Flame; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Engdahl Page; Review: Novel is by one of my favorite authors. Her books never disappoint. This can be read as a stand alone, even though the story does span more than one book. I really liked the premise, and I like how realistic the book is. I love science fiction, but some authors can't write believable plots within the genre. This author can, and she's brilliant. I can never put any of her books down, including this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Herald of the Flame; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Engdahl Page; Review: This book is by one of my favorite authors. It's difficult for me to leave reviews about books, without giving away plots. This can be read as stand alone, though it is a story that spans more than one book. I loved everything about this book, read it cover to cover with hardly any breaks in between. I think that's the best measure of any book - not being able to put it down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease; Author: Michael Greger M.D.; Review: This isn't my first book about a plant based, whole foods diet that is also lower in fat. But, this is the first one that was easy to read, had excellent explanations, and included all the references I could ever want or need. I was never bored reading it, I didn't have to force myself to keep going. This deserves 10 billion stars! I was already vegan when I read the book, but this book definitely changed my approach to how I prepare my food and which foods I put into my body. I feel fantastic, and I just wish I had read this when I was a teenager. Also, I wish this was required reading in medical schools! Or, heck, required reading for everyone. I'd recommend this to everyone, and I'd buy it for everyone (in fact, I'm on my third copy in terms of gifting).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Uprooted; Author: Visit Amazon's Naomi Novik Page; Review: I originally got this book as a gift, but then I wound up reading it. I am from Poland and it was so fascinating to see all the names of people and places the author used. I recognized them from my birth country. It's also very rare to read a book with so many Polish elements, but written in English. The story kept me interested, and I read it in one day. I do not want to give any spoilers, so I will just say that it is worth reading if you enjoy fantasy, fairytale, with plot twists.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Hutton Lodge; City: George Town Penang Island Penang; Review: The staff are very nice and nothing beats the price for the room. The breakfast is simple but there are restaurants around. It's close to public transportation and it's a short walk to the mall. You have to take the bus to get to the beaches.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel; City: Montreal Quebec; Review: We got one of the older rooms and I think it's because I got the room for less. Nevertheless, it's a great location. We were there for the UFC 97 and the hotel was right across the Bell Centre and La Queue de Cheval Bar and Steak House. It's very close to two subway stations (Peel and Bonaventura) and the Gare Central (train station). It is one block from St. Catherine, 5 minutes from Crescent Street, 20 minutes from Chinatown, 30-35 minutes to Old Montreal by walking. You can take the subway as well but as you know you see more when you walk even if you get lost :). Google map can help with this.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Posada del Angel; City: Cuenca Azuay Province; Review: The hostal is full of personality and it is very charming. People who are not religious may find the religious objects unusual for a hostal. Cleanliness - Rooms are cleaned everyday. Service - breakfast which includes bread, cafe or tea, eggs, juice and a fruit is served everyday. There is wi-fi and a business centre avaiable. The staff are friendly, informative (eg. flight schedule, restaurant reservations) and helpful . There is an Italian restaurant attached to it but we did not try it. Room - We got a room with a high celing and three beds. We only used one of the queen beds. Definitely good if you have a family. The rooms by the street can definitely be noisy but we just close the balcony doors. There is a working TV in the room which showed English shows. The only negative thing are the thin walls. The family beside us were always quarelling with their kids so that was not very pleasant. Location - It's not very far from most major plazas or restaurants. At night, ithe surrounding area is very quiet and desolate. There are no restaurants or cafes around except for the Italian restaurant attached to the hostal. It's about 10-15 min. walk to most restaurants, stores and cafes.. Value - It's a good value.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: El Gualicho Hostel; City: Puerto Madryn Province of Chubut Patagonia; Review: The location was excellent, large kitchen, our room (we got an ensuite private) was very clean, ok continental breakfast (cereal, toasts, tea/coffee), huge dining area and computer/common room. However, it's the atmosphere can be LOUD especially in the evenings. For some reason, music was played quite loud around even 6 or 7 a.m. I had our windows open the whole night because it was very hot in our room. Unfortunately, our room did not get any of the breeze. I can't say I had good sleep while staying there. Either I suffer from the heat or exposed to loud music/conversations/slammed doors especially after midnight. Also, wi-fi is only available outside your room unless you open your room and sit on the floor with your laptop. Wi-fi even downtairs in the common area is slow. They also booked tours but we ended up booking elsewhere after comparing prices. They also did not book tours using credit cards. We prefer credit cards so we don't take as much through the ATM which charges us fees compared to free online banking bill payments. Staff were mostly excellent but a couple were just there because it's their job. I will mark to recommend this hostel but beware of the noise. I don't like hostels with rules but I think it's reasonable to have a rule to be quiet after midnight at least. Some of us have to get up really early for the next day's activities. Perhaps bring earplugs or listen to music until you fall asleep. I did the latter. Other tips: *Try seafood at Los Colonos *Nothing is open on Christmas day and new year's day -- don't forget!!! *ATMS do not have money around holidays. We found one out of the four!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cardinal; City: Spa Liege Province The Ardennes Wallonia; Review: Hotel Cardinal I'm sure was once an aesthetically attractive, similar to the town of Spa. Nonetheless, the hotel is greatly located in the centre - near the tourist info office,funicular to the thermes de spa, train station and casino. We booked the room via booking.com and paid 97 Euros (maybe higher during high season) per night which included breakfast comprised of cereal, croissants, ham, cheese, bread, coffee/tea and juice. Our room was very clean, pretty comfortable with TV (not flat screen) and free wifi in the room. This town is a bit expensive and this was the most reasonable for the level of review rating we were looking for. The lobby was not manned all the time but they are available when you need something. We asked if they had a microwave we could use in their kitchen. They came out with one to take to our room. Good stay overall!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jordan Tower Hotel; City: Amman Amman Governorate; Review: We booked a room with private bathroom. The room came with 2 twin beds and a double bed. We used the double bed and slept in our sleeping bags. There was no fitted sheet and the sheet only covered 3/4 of the bed. Another note is that the comforter had no covering or slip so we were sure it had been well used without washing. It certainly did not smell fresh. So we had a choice to try and use the sheets to cover us from the mattress or use it as a layer before the comforter. As per their instructions, you couldn't drop the toilet paper in the toilet but we still had problems with flushing. Also the bathroom did not drain well so the floor was always flooded. The shower head holder was broken so our showers had to be hand held. The lack of hot water (although there was enough luke warm water if you ran the taps for several minutes first) may be a problem for some people. We would rate the cleanliness in the room as 6/10. The basic room has a tiny bathroom, a sink (outside the bathroom) and the faucet leaked) and TV. The breakfast was plentiful and it was a good breakfast to start your day. You have three options to choose from where they serve it to you. The staff was accommodating and always present and pleasant. The staff seemed more than willing to accommodate any requests The location was also convenient to the Roman theatre and citadel. We did not book any of the trips. We thought of joining the Jerash, Aljoun, etc tour for 28 JD. However, we wanted to spend more time in Jerash instead of just the 2-3 hours allocated for the place. The bus ride was less than 1 JD and the taxi from the hostel to the bus station was 2 JD. We write this review not to bash Jordan Tower but to inform those people of what to expect. We paid approximately 40 JD incl taxes and service charge/night. We read some people complaining about toilet paper not allowed in the toilet, and this is not an issue isolated to Jordan Tower. It is a very common thing in many countries all over the world. The toilet being in the shower is also a very efficient use of space and normal in many countries as well but this time the space was extremely tight. The rooms were noisy due to street traffic however not the Towers fault. Even some upgraded windows wouldnt help too much.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: IntercityHotel Mainz; City: Mainz Rhineland Palatinate; Review: We had a 3-day Frankfurt stop over and decided to stay in Mainz and just took a 30-minute train ride. This is much more inexpensive option than staying in Frankfurt. The hotel is right across the train station. Luckily they were kind enough to give us a room even though we got there at 7 a.m. We were sleep deprived so it was nice to get some sleep before sight seeing in the afternoon. The room is very clean, modern, a very comfortable bed, a fridge in the room, a TV but only BBC and CNN for English channels. The breakfast (9.75 Euros if you decide right away) is plentiful (espresson machine, yoghurt, bacon, eggs, cheese, hams, bread, pastries, juices, cereal, granola) and of great variety. It's a 20 minute walk to the old city but you can easily take the bus if you wish. The hotel provides free bus/train tickets so we took a day trip to Wiesbaden. No gym or swimming pool if you are looking for such facilities. We weren't. The free wi-fi is slow. No kettle in the room to make coffee or tea.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bedouin Lifestyle Camp; City: Wadi Rum Al Aqabah Governorate; Review: We recommend to at least camp for two nights to get the most of your experience. We stayed for 3 and had an activity every day. We were hesitant at first to sign up for all the activities/package offered to us right in the beginning especially considering the price. However, at the end it was worth it for us especially accounting how often we are in the desert. The staff and owner (Attalah) are excellent and organized. They are very friendly, enthusiastic and accommodating. We've signed up with a few of the tours and Ali was great! Great Bedouin entertainment at night,over sweet tea (unsweetened tea is also available) and they always try to get everyone involved. The facilities for what you can get in the desert is good. Don't expect electricity during the day, wifi and hot showers. If you are, don't camp in the desert! Also, expect that the camp may run out of water at the end of the night. The toilets are fairly clean. Tents are pretty comfortable and they'll offer you enough blankets if you are still cold at night. Don't expect that the thick blankets have been washed. We had our small sleeping bags so we were good. Maybe try bringing those sleeping liners. Expect to be really cold during winter. We signed up with tours so it included our breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, if you stay for more than one night, expect to be eating the same dishes for the next few nights. We didn't really mind but of course lamb option would have been welcomed. Dinners are plentiful and really good - Bedouin style chicken, veges, various type of salads, rice, lentil soup. Lunch during tours comprised of pita, tuna salad,hummus, labneh, fresh sliced veges, juice and fruit. Great new years! They even had a small firework show. As for tours, we signed up for camel rides, Jebal Um Addami (highest mountain), a day of jeep tour (be ready to be inhaling diesel and expect the gear for sandboarding to be broken) and one night we slept under the stars. All tours/activities were worth it. Note that the cigarette smoke in the big tent can be a intolerable. Also, we thought it's a bit expensive but hopefully the staff are well looked after. At the end, we think it was worth it. We also tipped our guide and the chef. We opted for a taxi ride from Aqaba to Wadi Rum for 25 JD. Note that there are no banks and if you want snacks, buy them before you go to Wadi Rum. We hope to be back one day! Inshallah!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bus Hostel; City: Reykjavik Capital Region; Review: We stayed at the Bus Hostel during NYE period. I wanted a hostel close downtown but after reading the reviews, it didn't sound too bad. On the contrary, it was actually not the most ideal, at least in the winter when the sidewalk is all iced. It took about 30 minutes walk to the centre since the city doesn't really salt their sidewalks. A couple of us had fallen and it seemed it took forever after partying on NYE. You basically need crampons. Also, you're the last people to be dropped off by the airport shuttle bus. They'll transfer you in a smaller bus at the bus station then you get dropped off. You could take the taxi downtown but it will cost $$$! We tried this the first night. We got the private double room and it was comfortable. It had two small lockers and a dresser. However, you'll need to use the shared bathroom which was pretty clean and large. The kitchen is not that big but it was functional. We even used the oven to cook lamb for a special NYE dinner. The common room was cozy and large with a bar. Just note that if the owners book the room for their own private party, patrons are not notified. Though you are still able to hang out in the room, don't attempt to use the piano! You'll get a talk by the owner or owner's son even if you are playing an actual music piece. As a paying patron who supposedly have access to this room, you're not the priority. The staff on the other hand are pretty helpful. There is a car rental/tour agency at reception. However, we didn't use them. We ended up renting at CItyCar Rental which is available 24/7. It was the most convenient because we only decided to rent on New Years Day. We explored Iceland on our own and it was cheaper than signing up for the tours. Enjoy Iceland!!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Beds Drinks; City: Miami Beach Florida; Review: I had a very good stay at this hostel. I stayed in an 8-female dorm with our own spacious shower area and a separate toilet room. Additionally, a vanity right outside the shower and toilet. It could still get a bit crowded when it's a full house. Fortunately for me there were only 3 other ladies (and if I may add were pretty neat and organize - bonus) bunking with me the first 3 out of my 5 nights. Breakfast is included which is comprised of a danish, yoghurt, granola bar, coffee and an orange. It's more than the usual cereal and toast. The available kitchen is limited to toasters and a fridge. Common area is in the lobby area and the patio. There's also the TV room. Getting there from the airport is quite easy and you don't need to spend the $15/20 airport shuttle bus. You take the MIA Mover [url] which will take you to the central station. From there you take the Route #150 metro bus (fare is $2.65) and get off at Collins Avenue and 17th Street, walk up to James Avenue (first intersection), turn left and you should be able to find the place. It's a 2 minute walk from the bus station. Going back to the airport, you just catch #150 route in front of CVS on Lincoln Road and James Avenue. It's another $2.65. See schedule here [url]. The location is excellent. I was in minutes from the beach, Lincoln Park (plenty of restos, shops including high end, cafes), Washington Avenue where you can find places for cheaper food options. Very close to a 24-hour CVS which sells many of your necessities including wines and beers. In about a 10 minute walk, you can start your 'stroll' along Ocean drive. If you want to catch a symphony, it's also very close to the New World Symphony. Most of the staff members were keen to help and there were a couple who were doing the bare minimum. There's a man (unfortunately, I can't remember his name - sorry) whom I believe is there 24/7 . He was pretty helpful esp in my times of desperation - locking my lock key inside my locker (duh!) late in the evening. The hostel can also help you arrange tours. I signed up for the one-day Key West tour (pick up from the hostel at 6:45 a.m and get back to SoBe around 9 p.m.). What was however not explained to me is that the $49 is basically transportation. On route, they'll be offering you various tours - snorkelling, trolley, etc. Or you can easily just explore the area on your own for free. I signed up for the snorkelling tour which was another $45. Had I known there was such an option, I would have brought my bathing suit and towel. I spent another $15 to buy these items. Other activities I signed up for, I did myself. I got a Groupon for the Jet Boat Ride and I also signed up for the Miami Culinary Tour. Overall,; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Casa Dona Eneida; City: Havana Ciudad de la Habana Province Cuba; Review: We stayed at Eneida's casa for four nights around NYE 2016. The neighbourhood is quiet. Mostly residential and embassies. To La Habana Vieja (Old Havana), it's a taxi ride for about 15-20 minutes (including trying to find one out on the street). Privately owned taxis cost much less, 10 CUC. However, the cheapest is using the taxi colectivo (~10 minute walk from the casa) which we did not have an opportunity of utilizing. The casa’s location is certainly not economical and as convenient (gets even pricey) if you want to hang out late in the city core. For NYE, we stayed in Old Havana. Book early if you are coming for NYE. I booked a month and a half earlier and couldn’t find anything in the city. Most of the family members were welcoming and genuine except for one - one of the daughters. We didn’t catch her name. On the other hand, Eneida’s granddaughter was very helpful and she spoke English quite well. We only met one of the daughters. The one who lives at the house doesn’t resemble the ladies on the photo posted here. Nonetheless, we felt like we inconvenienced her most times like when she served us breakfast. It was a bit awkward. Also, whenever we had questions with Eneida, she also would insert herself in the conversation by talking in the background in what seems like an upsetting manner. Not necessarily addressing us (eg. eye contact to us) but she would continue watching the TV and addressing her ‘mammy’. It’s hard to explain but it was odd and at the same time simply rude. I account the fact that there is the language barrier. However at the other casas we’ve stayed at, we got by (my Spanish is better than basic) and felt very welcome by those who did not speak English at all. We are very sure we did not misinterpret the body language. Etecsa is close by if you wish to buy wi-fi cards and you can connect at the nearby Copacabana hotel. There is a grocery store within a 15-minute walk and a 24-hour cafeteria 5 minutes from the house. Restaurants to check out are Paladar Vista Mar (25 minutes walk love the ambiance here) and La Fontana (5-7 minutes walk). I recommend making reservations during high season. For a night out, dress posh and go to Espacious (a hangout for the more affluent locals and a 4-5 CUC taxi ride). If you have plans to visit other towns after Habana, you can call InfoTur from their house to arrange for a taxi-colectivo (door-to-door). We took one to Vinales.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Stella McCartney Stella; Brand: ; Review: Sorry about the title. . . I couldn't help myself . . . . Anyways, Let me begin by saying there are few things more subjective than a fragrance, especially a woman's fragrance. I'm a woman (and proud) and I know how finicky we can be. But that's besides the point, let's focus on Stella.Instead of expressing a biased opinion I'm going take a objective POV. I'm going to explain the ingredients . . .Yes you heard me . .the ingredients . . .Sure . .The /are/ listed here, but do you really know what they are . . .I'm not going to explain them all, but hopefully enough to help you understand the science of the scent as well as the actually scent itself. H'okay, here we go!*Centaurea Cyanus = the common Cornflower aka "bluebottle" aka the Buttonierre Flower*Squalene (which may or may not come from the bladder of a shark {most likely its just synthetically created now}) = a natural moisturizer. It penetrates the skin quickly, but does not leave that nasty greasy feeling (not to mention the fact that Squalene blends well with other oils and vitamins)*Glyercin is used to preserve the essential oils and chemicals from the herbs (aka the flowers) . . .it may also be used as a bonding agent.*Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis aka "Sweet Almond" (think Amaretto) is used to add a sweetness to the fragrance (durrr)*Cetyl Alcohol is the surfacant which is a wetting agent that allows easier spreading*Cetyl Palmitate is basically just an compound found in most oils . .*Gylceryl stearate is basically a lubricant . .It's used in all types of cosmetics . ..Mostly it comes from animal fat but it also can be obtainesd from some unsaturated vegetable oils (I'd check up on that . . .if you are an animal rights person or whatever . . )*Polysorbate 60 is used to solubilize essential oils into water-based products . . .*As for Dimethicone is mostly used is usually listed as a "skin protectant" whatever that means . . . .*Jojoba oil is an exceptional moisturizer and more importantly, it's used in a lot of cosmetics as a replacement for whale oil (some scientists even claim it's superior to whale oil)*Tocopherol contains Vitamin E which is considered good for the skin :-)*shea butter is said to be a good skin softener . . .*Triethanolamine = a Ph balancer (makes sure the perfume/lotion/whatever isn't too acidic*Citronellol is an oil found in roses . . .It should be avoided by those who tend to have perfume allergies*linalool is a typical chemical found in many flowers and plants . .It also contains Vitamin E which is good . . .*Lavandula Stoechas is simply a type of lavander. it is commonly used in air fresheners and insecticides . . .*rosa gallica = a type of Rose*limomene = a hydrocarbon; you can thank the citris note in fragrance to this*There are multiple other flowers added to the mix so I would l put this fragrance in the flowery category . .As for some beaty tips considering this; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: L'eau D'issey By Issey Miyake For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.3 Ounces; Brand: Issey Miyake; Review: Luscious . . . Sensual . . . Refreshing . . . Clean . . . Sexy . . . Irresistable . . . All that can be said for L'eau d'Issey . .And it could be true (I like to think it is). . . or it couldn't be . . .It all depends on the person if you ask me. A sense of smell is unique and different per person. Thus, I would recommend giving it at least a sniff of your own before purchasing this . . .Here's some tips involving L'eau d'Issey:1)L'eau d'Issey is a soft, feminine fragrance that is a blend of fresh water florals . . .So if you don't like flowery or watery (not in the literal sense of course) then L'eau d'Issey is probably not for you . . .2)I would say the scent strength is moderate; in essence, it's not too over-powering in that it would drive people away and it's not too subtle that it won't be noticed. I don't know about you, but I don't tend to go for the strong or subtle fragrances. . .3) I would say this perfume lasts on average 8 hours . .perfect for a day at work or school or whatever . . .4) I would call this a sophisticated scent, but I wouldn't go as far as saving it for only special occasions . . .It's definitely for casual use . .Also this scent is probably catering more towards adults than teens so, unless your teenage daughter has a more sophisticated nose I wouldn't go buying this for her for her birthday or whatever . . .WARNING: This perfume contains Citronellol which is the main cause for most perfume allergies . . .so if you or your special someone has that allergy, I'd avoid this perfume (I'm still on the search for a non-allergenic perfume . . I found a couple before, but I forgot what they were . . . .); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pure Poison By Christian Dior For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 1.7 Oz.; Brand: Dior; Review: PURE POISON is a seductive and sensual blend of mandarin, citron, bergamot (fun fact: bergamot is commonly used in Earl Grey Tea), orange flower, lily, jasmine, and gardenia with hints of sandalwood and amber (which ironically last the longest scent-wise).Here's some tips about PURE POISON:1) Three simple words: SMELL BEFORE BUY . . . . It's always good to test out the perfume before you purchase it . . . I'd like to think we all have different fragrance tastes or we'd all be smelling the same . .haha . .2) The scent strength is moderate . .Not too subtle and not too overpowering . .jussttt right . .3) I'd say the scent life is around 8 hours (like most decent perfumes) . .which makes it perfect for a day at work or school or whatever . .4) I'd recommend this for casual use . . . I'd save something more unique and provocative for your "special" scent . . .5) This is a bit of a sophisticated scent so I wouldn't recommend it for teens . . especially those who are fresh to the perfume sceneNOTE: I don't know if this fragrance contains citronellol which is the main cause of allergic reactions for those who have perfume allergies . .so I'd check up on this is that concerns you. . .; Rating: 4.0/5.0

I'm not sure . . .Tips/Suggestions/Comments involving Fruity Rhythm:1) First of all, I think this fragrance is catered towards teens (perfect gift for your teenage daughter . .if you have one that is . . .) and it would be a little odd if an older person where to wear this . . .But that's just my opinion . . .2) The scent strength is moderate . .Not too intense and not too subtle.3) It lasts pretty long for a "cheap" perfume . .about 8 hours or so . .Perfect for a day at school4) This is definitely a casual/daily use fragrance . .

Title: Sunflowers By Elizabeth Arden For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 Oz.; Brand: Elizabeth Arden, Inc.; Review: I got a mini of this for my mom a couple of years ago for her birthday and she thought it was so-so. However I, on the other hand, loved it! To make a long story short, the perfume became mine (my mom is more of a Red Door person I guess). This flowery, powerful perfume is sure to seduce and allure!*This fragrance has notes of rose, cedar, lemon, musk, moss, amber, manderin, and jasmineTips/Suggestions/Comments involving Sunflowers:1) This is a rather moderate scent. I would'nt call it subtle nor would I call it intense. It's juusst right~2) This perfume lasts about as long as most perfumes (8 or so hours).3) This perfume is great for a day at work OR a night out in town.4) This perfume, at least in my opinion is great for both adults and teens so Moms, feel free to share this scent with your daughters!

Title: Betsey Johnson By Betsey Johnson For Women.

This seductive, yet fun and fruity fragrance is sure to be addictive to you and everyone around you.High Notes include: grapefruit,tangerine, black-berry currants, and pearMid-Notes include: freesia, lily-of-the-valley, and appleLow Notes include: cedarwood, sandalwood, musk, praline, and amberTips/Suggestions/Comments involving Betsey Johnson:1) It's a little intense (but not overtly intense) so if you don't like a strong perfume this may or may not be for you . .2) It's long-lasting so it's great for a day at work or even a night out in town . . .3) I'd say this is a more mature scent so I'm not sure if teens would like it . .. Though its got a sweet tint to it so they might . . .but I don't know if it would be good to risk it . .. If you want to get your teen a perfume I'd suggest a Gwen Stefani (more likely one of the Harajuku lovers perfumes), Vera Wang (most like Princess), or Escada (there's a vareity of fruity, sweet scents in the Escada line) perfume . .There's also Aquolina's Pink Sugar that's good for teens as well as adults!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Narciso Rodriguez by Narciso Rodriguez for Women - 3.3 Ounce EDT Spray; Brand: Narciso Rodriguez; Review: I've noticed that a lot of people have said that the pink box/black bottle is a lighter, better scent than the black box/pink bottle yet they don't seem to explain why to provide caution for later . .you see . .the black bottle is an Eau de Toilette which is 5-15% [typical 10%] aromatic components while the pink bottle is an Eua de Parfum which is 10-20% (typically 15%) aromatic components . ..Thus, the fragrance with less aromatic components would of course smell lighter and be more subtle.Anyways, I agree with the previous reviews. The subtler one is better. The Eau de Parfum one is just tooo intense . . .unless you like things intense that is . . .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Neutrogena Clean Replenishing Shampoo, Moisturizing, 10.1 Ounce; Brand: Neutrogena; Review: Let me start with saying that I have only bleached my hair 3 or 4 times so I can't say if this'll work for people who bleach their hair ALL the time (I'd ask your hair stylist for thier opinion. My stylist is the one who recommended this lovely product to me). Anyways, I may have only bleached my hair a couple of times, but I did all those times within one year so I totally destroyed my hair. It went from being soft to dry and wirey; however, after using this shampoo for a month or so, my hair started to become its normal softness again which made me ecstatic. I've been using this product (along with it's accompanying conditioner) since!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner, 8.5 Ounce; Brand: Neutrogena; Review: I bleached my hair a couple of years ago (which demolished it) and this conditioner along with the Replenishing shampoo was recommended to me by my stylist. Bleaching my hair my it go from soft to dry and wirey and after just a couple of months of using the combo, my hair was soft again! It was fantastic! This product also has a nice fruity smell which I like which makes it DOUBLE fantastic!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Fragrance-Free (2 Ounce); Brand: Neutrogena; Review: My mom started using this product and has been "addicted" to it ever since. She uses it when her hands are dry any time of the year. I was a little skeptical of this "miracle cure" (as said by my mom), but when I tried it out I must say that I was pretty impressed. My dry skin went from being rough and ,well, dry to smooth and moist (but not too moist . .just enough to feel nice). The only problem I had with this hand cream was that it was very thick and it made my hands very sticky/slippery for quite some time . .a longer time than most lotions/hand creams. . .But, after it dried out some, everything was cool . ..; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Beauty |

Title: Watery Ways; Author: Visit Amazon's Valerie Poore Page; Review: Watery Ways by Valerie Poore (Published by Boathooks Books) Trading life in the fast lane of Johannesburg, Val packs all her worldly possessions aboard an historic Dutch barge and set about rebuilding both the boat and her life - rediscovering herself and her own capabilities in the process. Watery Ways is a book to appeal to everyone. Those who love, live and work on the water will empathise and enjoy the adventure of living an alternative lifestyle and for everyone else who hankers after a chance to escape, a dip into this well written book will take you into another world for a few hours. Valerie Poore takes the reader on a journey of discovery. You follow her as she takes her first tentative footsteps of living aboard, to the excitement of buying her first Dutch barge. In the process she learns the skills to renovate and preserve these historic vessels, embraces a new language, makes friends human and feline, overcomes disappointments and finds love. Water Ways grips the reader from the very first chapter. It is written with honesty and a huge amount of humour. `The iciness of the water is shocking as I plunge to its depth and I flounder.....absurd thoughts flash through my mind, such as that my towel will get wet...' This is a book you can kick back and enjoy. Valerie's descriptions of life aboard took me straight into her life and as each chapter ended I wanted to know what happened next. The descriptions of the water ways of the Netherlands are an added extra - a travelogue from a different perspective - which had me wanting to visit these places. As to how the book ends well I will not spoil your pleasure of reading Watery Ways and a chance to travel along a different towpath for a pleasant hour to two.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Song of the Sea God; Author: Visit Amazon's Chris Hill Page; Review: Song of the Sea God by Chris Hill Song of the Sea God is a novel to be absorbed, reaching a place where reality is suspended. Told through the eyes of Bes, a stranger, John Love, arrives on an island on a grey tide. The island's disparate mix of characters is all affected in some way or other by the arrival of John Love. Some of these pieces of flotsam you grow to like and empathise with and some are so unlovely they will never be missed. The novel is not a comfortable read. Chris Hill's writing draws you in slowly, intractably, building hope that John Love will change the life of the islanders. Each page turned brings surprises, joyous funny moments and strange occurrences and, as the novel moves forward, darker and horrifying events. I found Song of the Sea God compelling and I want to read it again. As with all thought provoking writers there is always more to be discovered.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Scent of Time; Author: Visit Amazon's Alan T. McKean Page; Review: The Scent of Time by Alan T McKean The Scent of Time is a time-slip novel starting in the twenty-first century and taking the reader back to the eighteen hundreds. When Drew Faulkner is invited to visit his uncle his Scottish country home Bellefield. Drew is shown a painting of a beautiful of Lucy and his life as it is will never be the same. With the reality of time travel explained Drew takes little persuasion to leave his average life for one of adventure. His training, to equip him with the skills to live in 1867, is hard and tests him to the limit of his strength and of his emotions.. Drew journeys though time to find Lucy and to protect her from Caleb Bryant. From China they sail on a Tea Clipper, with Caleb dogging their every move, back to Scotland. The Scent of Time is an adrenaline filled story and moves at a fast pace, as all good adventure stories should. Drew is a normal flawed character, who discovers more than outward strength but begins to question his lack of inward strength and beliefs. I also found the other characters interesting and want to know more about the Russian Anton and American soldier Luke. I can only wait for the sequel for the answer. I enjoyed reading The Scent of Time had the feel of some of John Wyndham's stories, from Seeds of Time. This novel is the first of Drew's adventures and it will be interesting to see where in time he ends up.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Whisper on the Mediterranean; Author: Visit Amazon's Tonia Parronchi Page; Review: When I received my copy of A whisper on the Mediterranean by Tonia Parronchi the weather in South Devon was bone-soaking wet and the skies were pewter grey, in fact completely the wrong weather for sailing. As soon as I began reading I felt the warmth of Tonias delightful and evocative description of her adventures sailing around the Mediterranean in a boat she called Whisper The heat of sunny summer days and soft balmy nights staring at Van Gough starry skies soon banished thoughts of a British winter. I came to know Guido, Tonias husband and Massimo their sailing friend and their passion for sailing. I sympathised with Tonia when she struggled with her first sailing experience, suffering with seasickness, and came to adore their son, James, and the way he embraced their new life with his Benson Bunny. I discovered hidden coves and Islands, that one day I would love to visit, such as The Pontine Islands and I held my breath when storms threatened, felt the joy as seeing dolphins and had my appetite whetted by Tonias delicious recipes that can be found at the end of each chapter. A Whisper on the Mediterranean is a more than a book; it is an adventure to be enjoyed on sea or on land, on hot sweltering days or during cold wet evenings. It is a book for everyone, sailor or a land lubber.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sophie's Quest; Author: Visit Amazon's Sonja Anderson Page; Review: I have just enjoyed a flight of adventure and discovery with Sophies Quest by Sonja Anderson. Sophie is a Great Horned Owl who wants to have an adventure like her grandfather. A collector of trinkets, feather boas and hats, Sophie finds a necklace with symbol she hasn't seen before, looking rather like a t. Sophie isn't the only creature who is looking for a bit of swashbuckling adventure, Timley, a mouse with an overprotective mother, stows away on Sophies hat. A mouse and an owl are not usually friendly, but soon Sophie and Timley begin their quest to find what the strange t symbol is. Sophies Quest is a lovely novel aimed at children, however I must say I did enjoy following the adventures of Sophie and Timley. I followed their journey of discovery and was entranced by the characters Sophie and Timley meet along the way. This novel has a strong story to tell, one of learning about other peoples beliefs, of asking why things happen, good or bad, but mainly it is a story of true friendship. Sophie and Timleys friendship is testes in so many ways owls do like a tasty mouse occasionally! Sonja Anderson has skilfully woven a story that will appeal to children of all ages. Who wouldnt love a owl that collects hats and a mouse that wants to be a pirate.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Rechargeable AA 4 Pack 2700mAh Batteries by Lenmar; Brand: Lenmar; Review: I do almost ALL of my shopping here on Amazon. The UPS guy is actually at my house at least once a week. That said, I don't think I've ever written a review here. This will be the first and it's not a good one. That should tell you how strongly I feel about this. These batteries are awful. They do not hold their charge at all. I use them in the remotes for my TV's, and I've had to charge them several times in 2 weeks. A regular battery off the racks lasts well over a year (probably longer), and yet I have had to charge these several times already. Complete waste of money for the time and electricity these use.

Title: Las Rocas Resort Dive Center; City: West Bay Roatan Bay Islands; Review: dive shop: I loved the wreck dive, canyon reef, and another dive right near las rocas...disappointed that weather did not permit mary's and spooky channel. dive shop needs better system to keep track of # of dives...I had to show dive log to not get charged for two dives I was charged for that didn't happen. food: pizza was pretty good, heard comments from other guests that rigatoni was delicious...probably because the owners are Italians. i went to bananarama for 16 oz burgers and cerviche. bite on the beach next door was pretty good. i did not opt for meal plan because i wanted to try different restaurants. resort: quite please overall. reasonable price, clean, comfortable, relaxing, lots of snorkeling and diving within 1 mile radius. no power outage. few if any mosquitos, but I put on repellent after last dive of the day to ward off sand flies. I took malaria medication, but most likely was not necessary. location: conveniently located between west end and west bay...this is the leeward side of the island which probably has more sand flies but calmer water. i wish i brought my sail rig and anchor along to use with my kayak. 15-20mph wind would be ideal for sailing, but avoid the shallow reef area. i did not see sailboat or hobie cat rental, but that is probably because they want to protect the reef. transportation: car rental at west end is around $25-$30 at low season. scooter $24 a day. TACA not reliable and too expensive from SAP to Roatan. probably best to fly on weekend directly to Roatan (i.e. Continental) or fly AA to SAP and then SOSA or Atlantic to La Ceiba and then 1 hour ferry ride to Roatan (some passengers had motion sickness when water was rough); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Suites Ft Lauderdale International Airport; City: Dania Beach Broward County Florida; Review: The main problem I had was being assigned room 101 by the side entrance which was noisy. Someone kept turning knob on the lock either because the card reader doesn't work or they didn't want to use the card key. This made a horrible noise issue and posed a security concern. Fortunately the neighborhood seemed safe enough. Things were better when we requested another room. And what's the deal with so many hotels only offering WiFi in the lobby. Nowadays people are opting for tablets so they won't have to lug around a heavy laptop, or they may want connect to wifi from their phone. But this wasn't the only hotel I stayed at this year that did so. The airport shuttle van was extremely crowded. We have a fellow passenger who refused to make room for us, and complained loudly when the shuttle stopped to pick up yet another passenger...he made the remark "it's a big guy"...yes, you are such a spoiled brat who doesn't know how to share a ride.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Maya Island Hotel; City: Beijing; Review: I did not choose this hotel. it was part of a tour package with Nexus Holidays and they refused to change the hotel despite my complaints. you can see stains on marble bathroom surfaces which indicates they do not clean the bathroom. rooms and halls smell like cigarette smoke, and even after changing room twice we were still stuck with a dusty and smelly room (they use plug in air fresheners to mask odors). when I complained about the dust to the front desk, they sent housekeeping with a shop vac...WTF, how do you thoroughly clean a carpet with shop vac. the carpet was heavily stained, the sheets were not changed, and towels were not bleached. you cannot depend on the wake up calls which were often late. the breakfast menu was sparse and the egg station is often unmanned, and when the place is packed the staff sends you upstairs without setting the tables. this is the most disgusting hotel "5 stars" I have ever stayed in...it is operated like a runned down motel rather than a 5 star hotel and it is far, far away from center of the city and even farther from the airport.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Abbey Inn; City: St George Utah; Review: After a strenuous hike in Zion Nation Park, there was nothing better than a nice relaxing evening and restful sleep before flying home the next day. Instead of staying in Vegas, we decided to drive an hour from Zion NP and stay at BW Abbey Inn. To our surprise, we saw a dispenser full of ice cold spa water (mint and lemon) at the far corner of the check in counter. It was truly a refreshing treat after being out in the desert sun. We commented that we wanted a quiet night sleep which we did not get at BW Bryce Canyon, and we were assigned a room on the third floor which was tastefully decorated and even has makeup remover for the wife (much to her delight). It was late, but I could not resist taking a quick dip in the spacious whirlpool and take a swim in the pool. It was a wise decision to make our stop here before journeying on to Vegas which is two hours drive away. I would highly recommend other wary travelers to do the same!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

It was a nice modern hotel in a nice location, but imo one could get a good night's sleep because the mattress was about a 5 out 10 of when it comes to firmness or comfort. Beware that the beds are made of soft memory foam (I've owned a memory foam bed that was about 7 or 8 out of 10 in firmness). I've been to Best Western Plus that almost equally nice and provided ice cold spa water, coffee, tea and decent breakfast. Even boutique hotels in NYC offers credit voucher to the adjacent coffee shop.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Venice Mestre Marghera; City: Marghera Veneto; Review: Hotel and price was ok, but the breakfast egg was a bit dry and the location was not ideal unless you are getting picked up by a tour bus. If you stay near Piazza Roma/ Venezia train station, you can take airport shuttle instead of 45 Euro for Taxi from airport and getting ripped off on taxi to Piazza Roma or take the city bus. And leaving town by train you won't have to take another cab to Mestre station. In all, tallying up the cost of what I paid for taxi, I would have been better off staying close to Venezia.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Grand Bahia Principe Tulum; City: Akumal Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Service overall was fairly good but don't expect to be served on the beach. We picked our beach chairs close to the Beach restaurant/bar and the food was better than the À la carte restaurnats here. We like the seafood rice and the facility's proximity to the beach. The Xian-Kan resort prohibits guests from reserving beach chairs and I can see why. Some people will put their towels on the chairs early in the morning and not show up until the afternoon. The "sand whales" was not visually pleasing, but they served to protect the beach from erosion and give you calm waist deep swim area where you can snorkel with dozens of fishes. I did bring aqua socks which came in handy. The Tequila Mexican restaurant, as well as the Peruvian/Japanese fusion restaurant called Mashua, was just so-so. Every item we tasted at Mashua has a Chinese sauce.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: In & Out: Year One in the Jumping for Gold Series; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Moss Page; Review: I loved this book, it was wonderful, but there are so many typos that I had to make a concerted effort NOT to notice them! Hunter, Jumper, Dressage, Hell and Oxer and Latte are NOT capitalized! The airport in Holland is Schiphol, not "Schipol," and a stable in Holland is a "stal," not a "stahl." If your house is a wreck, it is that and not a "wreak," you are blind sided and not "blind sighted." Etc. "Alright" - no! That said, I loved the book, but I do hope they hire a professional proofreader before a paperback version comes out; or if, indeed, it is the first in a series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Ravenscar Dynasty (Ravenscar Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Taylor Bradford Page; Review: I agree about the confusion re Edward/Ned, Harry/Henry.

Title: Silver Dreams; Author: Sondra Rice Newman; Review: Very sweet story which is utterly predicatable. An owner with an out of state jock's licence allowed to ride her 2nd race ever in a Grade II race? Yeah, right. And then it wins? Uh huh. But if you like cute stories with happy endings, then you'll like it. Calling the horse by its full name is irritating (which is why horses like For The Moment are called Fred and not by their show name), and all the "huntin' fishin' shootin'" illustrations of accent even moreso (we know the character is in the south; enough already), but it is a nice lighthearted read.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love; Author: Visit Amazon's Carole Radziwill Page; Review: This just reeks of being another book by someone trying to capitalize on the Kennedy name. To try and capitalize on your husband, his best friend/cousin and your own "best friend" is inexcusable.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hounded to Death: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Rita Mae Brown Page; Review: Not the best of the Sister Jane series, not the worst. Glad I read it, but I hope the next one is much better than this one. The first three were fabulous, then it started becoming a bit hit or miss. This one is a bit of a miss. That said, a so-so Sister Jane novel is still better than most books!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Van Halen Rising: How a Southern California Backyard Party Band Saved Heavy Metal; Author: Visit Amazon's Greg Renoff Page; Review: Loved every page of it.

I was delighted with what we found though and have just arrived home after a fab 2 weeks. We booked a sea view room - well worth it as could walk to beach in 10 secs from room. Never stayed around pool as we preferred the beach - found it much more relaxing and a bit cooler. Place is spotless and staff seem to work very hard. Restaurants great, at dinner we preferred sitting outside, more atmosphere - less of a brightly lit canteen feel and you never had to queue for a table. Food was excellent. Entertainment was the one thing that let this hotel down, we didnt enjoy it so muh but its not our sort of thing, would perhaps have been better just to have music playing rather than live singers but other places to relax if you dont like whats on offer. Its very bigand very busy but we avoded the masses by using the beach not the pool and eating outside whih are our prferences anyway. Definitley pay the £4 to use the hotel next doors jetty for snorkelling. Amazing! Other highlights were snorkelling at Ras Mohammed, Tiran and a trip to a Bedouin tent in the sinai desert with star gazing and a camel ride. Great holiday and if you have booked this please dont worry, it is a very nice hotel and the staff are very helpful.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Stary; City: Krakow Lesser Poland Province Southern Poland; Review: Less than a 30 second walk to the market square at the centre of the old town. Beautiful looking hotel both in public areas and rooms, friendly staff and lovely included breakfast. Great value. Minor niggle was that although room was lovely it was on 1st floor and looked over an atrium so felt a bit claustrophobic not looking out to the outdoors but was comfy and clean room with an amazing jacuzzi bath and it was only a std room. If you dont get a deluxe room then see if you can get a std room higher than the 1st floor so it feels a bit more open.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Ritz Carlton Doha; City: Doha; Review: Comfy, clean and smart hotel, about 15 mins out of city centre. Nice pool area and good breakfast. Very short drive to The pearl development.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cabin; City: Reykjavik Capital Region; Review: I stayed here as part of a package from Icelandair in January. I upgraded to a better room immediately on arrival as the single standard room was very small indeed with a single bed much smaller than normal size, pressed right against a wall with a plastic shelf on it and the room was quite old / ugly. The cost of the upgrade was around £35 for the 3 nights but I saw on the sign that in high season the cost could be double this. I did not mind paying £30 to get a better room but I may have objected to paying £60+ so worth bearing in mind and checking website to look at different room types and be exactly sure what you are getting for your money as value hotels become less good value when you are paying for upgrades. That was my one niggle but the upgraded room was much more modern and spacious with a comfortable bed and a lovely view across the bay to the mountains. The room did have a few niggles like some lights not working / noisy fridge but these didn't bother me and I didnt point them out. The bathroom and shower were great and the room was lovely and warm. It would have been nice to have tea and coffee making facilities etc but this was just a very basic room. Wi-Fi was chargeable. Breakfast was a continental buffet style. The lunch / dinner buffet was basic but good and really great value, ideal for in between excursions. Staff were friendly and pleasant and the hotel was not too far to walk to the shops / bars / restaurants in the city centre. There was a Subway and petrol station right across the road also.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Indigo Glasgow; City: Glasgow Scotland; Review: Having originally booked the hotel for November as a birthday treat for my sister, we had to delay the stay for family reasons and the very helpful team changed the date to Feb without any problem even though the deal was non transferable. The room was lovely with amazing bathrooms, comfy beds and nice decor. The staff t check in were lovely and helpful. The next morning, we ordered cooked breakfast and the only grumble was that I waited an hour to get the cooked breakfast even though we chased it up after 45 mins and all the other tables around us coming and going. The waitress didn't come back to the table so after an hour (by which time they'd put away the bread and were sweeping the floor around us!) we asked gain. The waiter returned instantly with the breakfasts which were luke warm and had obviously ben sitting for a while. This was the only thing that let the hotel down and overall I'd definitely reccommend it and owuld probably stay here again. Location perfect for shops and nightlife and car park next door so cheap - hotel gave us a voucher and to park for 28 hours cost £4.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows:
Title: Healing Inc.; Author: Deneice P Tarbox; Review: This book was great. The character and storyline development was great. I haven't been this interested in a book in awhile. I'm definitely reading the other Moriatti book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luca's Dilemma (The Moriatti Men); Author: Deneice P Tarbox; Review: The book started out slow for me, but then picked up to be just as great as Healing, Inc. I love the suspensiful romance that she creates and how she wraps the storyline up perfectly at the end! There is always an element of surprise at the end of her books. I am really looking forward to the next Moriatti book!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heart Of The Billionaire: : (The Billionaire's Obsession ~ Sam); Author: Visit Amazon's J. S. Scott Page; Review: J.S. Scott books are so well written! I can feel the love and pain between Sam and Maddie. Their emotions are just so tangible. I never thought that I would be turned on by an Alpha male! I am so looking forward to The Billionaire's Salvation!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Billionaire's Obsession: The Complete Collection: Mine For Tonight, Mine For Now, Mine Forever, Mine Completely; Author: Visit Amazon's J. S. Scott Page; Review: I enjoy J.S. Scott's billionaire collection books. This collection was great. I loved reading about the connection between Simon and Kara. I liked his Alpha male personality and how Kara was submissive toward Simon and challenged him at the same time. Great book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Send Me A Cowboy; Author: Visit Amazon's Joann Baker Page; Review: The story was short and cute. The male character was pretty rough and rude at times, but the story had a good ending. Worth reading on a cozy evening.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Call On Me; Author: Visit Amazon's Angela Verdenius Page; Review: I have enjoyed all of Angela's BBW books. I'm always immediately drawn into the characters; however, the first 30% of this book was pretty dull to me, but then Chris Smith came into the picture and things started to pick up. I liked that the story was about two best friends who become lovers, but this book didn't have the magic that Angela's other BBW books have. I'm hoping that Lori's story will grab me from the beginning like Angela's other BBW books did. So overall, Call on Me was okay for me, but I still look forwarding to reading more of Angela's books in the future.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dipping Into Sin; Author: Visit Amazon's DJ Parker Page; Review: I feel that this book was as great as the first book. It appears that I've read the updated version of the book and I really enjoyed. I saw a lot of negative comments about how the book ended, but I believe that Andriano was having a dream that's going to continue on in Nicolai's story (which I can't wait to read). Great job on both books DJ Parker!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Game, Set, Match; Author: Visit Amazon's Nana Malone Page; Review: Storyline was okay. I listened to the audio version and the narrator made the adult women sound like 14 year old girls.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Finally (Mature Men) (Volume 3); Author: Marilyn Lee; Review: Really enjoyed the series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Right Time (Love Unexpected) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Delaney Diamond Page; Review: I love Diamond's books. You can feel the love between the characters. A great read with a happily ever after.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hot One; Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Blakely Page; Review: I'm not sure what happened but this story missed the mark for me. I really enjoyed Big Rock and Mr. O so I was really looking forward to The Hot One. The story started out with a spark then it just fizzled. The characters seemed to just ramble on. In her other books the characters had a deep connection for each other, these characters seemed so superficial. I had to push myself to finish this book. Lauren please bring back the connection and spark that you gave in the books before this one.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Joy Ride; Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Blakely Page; Review: Big Rock was the first book I read by Lauren Blakely and I loved it. The passion, fire and love between the characters was awesome. The same chemistry was there in the books Mr. O and Well Hung; however, the chemistry and passion seemed to have floated away with the 3 books that followed Well Hung. Well let me tell you the chemistry came back with a big bang with Joy Ride! I really enjoyed this book! I loved the passion and affection between Max and Henley. Great job Mrs. Blakely!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: More Than a Mistress (Latin Men) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Delaney Diamond Page; Review: Another great book in the Latin Men series! The interactions between Sonia and Esteban were great. I highly recommend this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: That Time in Venice (Love Unexpected) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Delaney Diamond Page; Review: This is another great book in the series. Reed was sweet, compassionate and had a bit of growing up to do. Anika was strong and loving but dealing with an inner conflict. They lost each other once but fate brought them back together again. Great read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Something More; Author: Visit Amazon's Amanda Young Page; Review: A woman who has desired her ex-boyfriend's brother since the day she met him, a man who's desired his brother's ex-girlfriend since the day he met her and a boyfriend that would do anything to make him happy. This is my first book by Amanda Young and I'm so glad that the book was about more than desire. There was tenderness, kindness and love.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Claimed for Destiny: An Anthology (The Westmorelands); Author: Visit Amazon's Brenda Jackson Page; Review: This was so good like all of the other books in the Westmoreland series. The main characters refused to fall in love but love had other plans for them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Undeniable (Latin Men) (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Delaney Diamond Page; Review: Two people blinded by anger but so in love with each other that anyone around them can see it and feel it. A woman engaged to a "good man" but can't stop wanting the man she thinks she shouldn't be with. A great read. Enjoy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Saving the Sheikh (Book 4) (Legacy Collection); Author: Visit Amazon's Ruth Cardello Page; Review: I was hesitant about reading this because I'm not into women being controlled and oppressed by a man; however, this book was a pleasant surprise. Both characters learned the importance of who they are to the world and each other. I highly recommend this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Love Will Always Remember; Author: Visit Amazon's Tracey Livesay Page; Review: This was truly a believable HEA. I found the characters engaging. I look forward to reading a story about Thomas reconciling with Jonathan and getting his HEA.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Hanerdun Lace-up Corset Elastic Retro Cinch Belt Waist Belt Four Sizes; Brand: HANERDUN; Review: Will still try to wear it since it is so small, and it's really nothing special, wouldn't discourage or encourage.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Free to Live 6 Pack Seamless Fleece Lined Leggings Women - One Size; Brand: ; Review: Love these, they are so soft, even after a couple washes, and they don't get that linty ball thing going on for typical soft fluffy fabrics.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alinfu Women’s Casual Unbalanced Crew Neck Knit Sweater Loose Pullover Cardigan; Brand: Alinfu; Review: This sweater as soon as I got it, just smelled so horrible! Like something died, just washed it because I still love it, and now it's fine.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Gigabyte Mini PC Barebone Intel Core i5-4570R 3.2GHz Iris Pro Graphic 5200 (GB-BXi5-4570R); Brand: Gigabyte; Review: Very loud when only at 50% CPU load. Cooling solution is inadequate, but form factor is great.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Aweek® 96 Leds IR Illuminators Light IR Infrared Light LED infrared light CCTV Camera Night-vision Fill Light for CCTV Security; Brand: Aweek; Review: I got a dud. Didn't work at all.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: SV3C POE Camera, 1080P IP Camera Outdoor, Home Security Surveillance Camera, Wired, 20Meter Night Vision, IP66; Brand: sv3c; Review: I've owned a lot of IP cameras and this one is junk. Stay away. Pay more for higher MP and you won't regret it.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: TRENDnet Wireless AC Easy-Upgrader, Upgrade up to 5 GHz Wireless AC, Pre-Encrypted, Easy Set-up, TEW-820AP; Brand: TRENDnet; Review: I used this device to wirelessly connect one LAN segment of my home network to another. It works well but the setup for client mode and undocumented IP addressing it uses after setting client mode was frustrating. If I didn't have a background in networking I would have spent countless hours trying to figure it out and would have returned it. The other modes seemed straightforward to setup but I didn't test them.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: CyberPower CP550SLG Standby UPS System, 550VA/330W, 8 Outlets, Compact; Brand: CyberPower; Review: Failed shortly within warranty period. Contacted support several times and was hung up on or ignored each time immediately after providing receipt showing it was still under warranty. I won't buy their products again.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |
