Title: Twisted Veins HDMI Cable 3 ft, Premium HDMI Cord Type High Speed with; Brand: Twisted Veins; Review: Works a treat, no fuss. Only thing is if there was another choice for the right angle adapter to face the other way. But overall very satisfied with this set.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Boogie Board Jot eWriter with 8.5-Inch LCD, Red (JT0320002); Brand: Boogie Board; Review: The previous version of the boogie board had a big flaw in the power button where it ended jammed and not repairable; I had to throw that one away. This model has a much better power button and it's good that there is a replaceable battery. My son uses it quite often to draw thing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Panlong UHE3P 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub/Splitter with RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Support Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1,; Brand: Panlong; Review: Works well with both Windows 8.1/10 and Mac OSX. Didn't need any additional drivers. Would be a better if it was not as wide to make it more travel friendly. But nonetheless, it's useful to have as an adapter for low power USB3 gear and with an ethernet port keeps the connections fast and reliable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nakamichi NC40 Noise-Cancelling Headphones; Brand: Nakamichi; Review: If you're looking for a small set of headphones, then this should suffice; I bought it for my 6 year old and it fits him well. However, on adults (especially males) it can be a problem because they don't extend out too big and the ear covers are small so they can cause pressure pain on your ears. One of the flaws with the unit is the twisting mechanism is made of weak plastic. My son managed to snap it on the second day so now it's permanently glued to a fixed position. The same breakage could have happened if they were carelessly thrown into a bag.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Tendak 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Video Converter; Brand: Tendak; Review: Works very well with the surface pro 3 connected up to monitor or TV. Solidly built.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: iClever BoostCube 40W 4-Port Universal USB Wall Charger with SmartID Technology, 8A Charging Station for iPhone 7/6s/iPad, External Battery; Brand: iClever; Review: Very compact and good charging performance. My phone and tablets repowered in a short time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cat 6 Ethernet Cable 15 ft - Flat Internet Network Lan patch cord Short – faster than; Brand: Jadaol; Review: Works well and no problems. The cable thinness makes it easy to tuck away from view.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sabrent [6-Pack 22AWG Premium Micro USB Cables (X2-6ft + X2-3ft +; Brand: Sabrent; Review: Cables feel solid and connects snugly into device ports. Nice touch with the velcro to make putting away simple. No problems so far.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Baoneo Adapter Jack Headphone Aux Audio Earphone Connector Accessories Dongle; Brand: Ambrrhty; Review: So far it works great. I have yet to use it for a long period like it's meant for, but the alarm on it is loud enough to hear when you are inside (around 50 feet windows closed). Recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Panasonic RP-HJE350-P SLIMZ In-Ear Earbud Headphones (Pink) (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Panasonic; Review: These headphones are great. Bass is great for the small size of the buds. 4 different sizes are nice too. These are a must buy at this price.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Toshiba Canvio 750 GB USB 3.0 Basics Portable Hard Drive - HDTB107XK3AA(Black); Brand: Toshiba; Review: I've had this about three years now and never once had a problem. And it's only half full. I love this thing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cheetah Mounts APFMSB TV Wall Mount Bracket for 20-55” TVs Up To VESA 400 and 115 lbs including a Twisted; Brand: Cheetah; Review: Super easy to install. Good cables and I love the keychain light they give you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: TVPower Mini USB Power Cable for Chromecast; Brand: Mission Cables; Review: Bought this not knowing I didn't need them. But they work great and I like the smaller cord so I don't have to hide a long cord behind the tv.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kenwood KDC-BT318U CD Receiver with Built-in BluetoothKDCBT318U; Brand: Kenwood; Review: Works good for entry level stereo. Bluetooth connects right away. Would rate higher if the Bluetooth was better quality when using the phone. People always wonder why there is so much echo. And the buttons stick after awhile.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Hotel Lanai; City: Lanai City Lanai Hawaii; Review: My husband and I got married on Maui and return every year to celebrate our anniversary. This year (February 2011) we decided to finally check out the Hotel Lanai, which looks so cute and quaint; we wanted to try something that wasn't a resort type atmosphere. The hotel IS cute and quaint, the staff was very friendly, and our room looked lovely. Once we had settled in and gone to bed, however, we noticed the very strong mildew odor, even in the bed. Having been to Hawaii several times, we are familiar with the humidity, and we were also aware that the Hotel Lanai is very old, but the mildew smell was so strong and pervasive that neither of us slept at all the night we arrived. We tried everything -- opening the windows, having the (very noisy) ceiling fan going full blast -- I actually spent a great deal of time outside throughout the night, just to get some fresh air. The next morning we went directly to the Four Seasons, and once we found out that we were able to get a room there, we went back to the Hotel Lanai and checked out even though we had reserved our room for close to two weeks. We explained the problem to the front desk person, and she said that she would check to see if we would still have to pay for the remaining time on our reservation. She called us later that day to say that unfortunately we would still have to pay for the entire time we had reserved, even though we had only stayed one night, and even though the reason we left was mildew in the room. My husband has asthma, and he ended up becoming ill and spending the next 3 days in bed. I developed an itchy red rash on my face, neck and arms (the parts of me that were in contact with the damp and mildewy bed linens at the Hotel Lanai) that lasted for several days and was extremely uncomfortable. Our clothes smelled so musty just from being in the room for the one night, that we had to have everything cleaned at the Four Seasons. I tried again to get the Hotel to bend on it's early departure policy, but with no luck; I then disputed the charges to my credit card through my bank, and again had no luck. Bottom line; the Hotel Lanai is lovely on the outside, but I would never, ever stay there again or recommend it to anyone else. Mildew is a health hazard. They need to clean it up before someone has a more serious health problem than we had as a result.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Portland Airport; City: Portland Oregon; Review: We travel often, and always stay at the Hampton Inn Portland Airport when flying out of PDX. It's always clean, the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, the beds are very comfortable, and they have good coffee -- plus freshly baked cookies in the evening! When you just need a place to stay that's clean, comfortable and convenient, this Hampton can't be beat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lake of the Woods Resort; City: Klamath Falls Oregon; Review: We usually spend a few nights each summer in the cabins at LOTW, but this year we decided to celebrate New Year's Eve there, in the peace and quiet, and we've already decided to do it again next year. We stayed in cabin #14, which was super cute, clean, comfortable and had a lovely view of the (now frozen) lake from the large porch. We enjoyed a delicious New Year's Eve dinner at the marina, and just had a very nice, low key couple of days. We do not miss TV, etc. at all -- bring a good book and take a step back into a simpler, quieter lifestyle -- you will love it. The only drawback was that it seemed to be difficult to regulate the temperature in the cabin, and the furnace is quite loud when it kicks in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites by Hilton Hillsboro Beaverton; City: Beaverton Oregon; Review: This was our second time staying at the Homewood Suites in Beaverton. The first time was a few years ago, and we were not impressed - it just seemed a little shabby then and not too clean. Based on recent reviews we decided to try it again, and were very pleasantly surprised! First, Caitlin at the front desk was simply a breath of fresh air -- she's got the customer service thing down! All of the staff members we interacted with at all were very friendly and helpful, but Caitlin stood out, making us smile and feel welcome after our long drive from Klamath Falls. Our room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and it's nice to have an actual kitchen (there was even a package of microwave popcorn, which was a nice touch). We didn't have dinner at the hotel, but it smelled good -- breakfast was the typical Hilton fare, not amazing, but not bad. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Liberty Inn Lincoln City; City: Lincoln City Oregon; Review: We stayed one night at the Liberty Inn and, though we really have no complaints, it is an older hotel that could use some updating and maybe a deep cleaning - like carpets, drapes, that kinda thing. Upon entering our room, we noticed a pretty strong smell of some kind of cleaner/air freshener, and once that faded we could tell that the air was a bit stale - remedied by leaving the window open all night to get some of that fresh ocean air in there. All surfaces were very clean, though, and the bed was quite comfortable. There was a gigantic old school TV in our room, which was interesting... The individuals at the front desk were friendly, cheerful and efficient. There is a 24 hour shuttle to and from Chinook Winds Casino, which is very handy, and it is very close to the beach, as well as Hwy 101, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay there again for a night or two, but would love to see this place get a little more TLC.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Maui Kahului Airport; City: Kahului Maui Hawaii; Review: Very convenient to the airport and car rental agencies, with a free shuttle to/from the airport (call when you arrive for a shuttle pick up), this hotel is very clean and comfortable, with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. On this trip, we were only there for one night due to a late arriving flight to Maui, but we stayed for a week on a prior trip, and it is always a very pleasant stay. This is not a resort, so you will be driving to the beach, but there is a very nice pool and jacuzzi, as well as a fire pit for relaxing outside. There is a bistro in the lobby area for breakfast/dinner/happy hour, and everything we've tried there was good - the hotel is also close to many other dining options, some you can easily walk to. Highly recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Washington Square; City: Tigard Oregon; Review: We often stay at this Embassy Suites when we visit Portland, and are never disappointed! Conveniently located within walking distance to Washington Square, the hotel itself is very clean, comfortable, and staffed with friendly, professional individuals. Everyone we encountered was wonderful and helpful during our stay - and I have to give a special shout-out to Iman (housekeeping), who was simply a breath of fresh air - she did a fantastic job with our room, and even arranged our towels in the shapes of birds, sailboats, etc. - very sweet and fun to find this when we returned to our room. The hotel has been recently renovated and looks great - we have stayed at other Embassy Suites, and this one is the best by far, in every respect!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shilo Inns Klamath Falls; City: Klamath Falls Oregon; Review: We were moving back to Oregon from Maui with our two little dogs and needed someplace to stay while waiting for our house to be ready. The dog- friendly room we stayed in was conveniently located on the first floor - easy to get the dogs outside when needed, it was very clean, smelled clean (important to note since it was a dog-friendly room and that can be an issue!), with a very comfortable bed. I appreciated the fact that the room was not carpeted - probably helps keep a pet-friendly room smelling clean. The free WIFI is pretty useless - I managed to get online a couple of times only to be dropped within minutes - I finally gave up on that. There is a complimentary breakfast for guests, and it was fine - we were disappointed to find that the restaurant/bar is closed at this time - there are (mostly fast food) dining options within easy walking distance, however. Customer service throughout the hotel gets an A+ from us - everyone we interacted with, from the front desk, to housekeeping, to the shuttle driver - all were very friendly and helpful.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Medford Airport; City: Medford Oregon; Review: Very clean hotel, small but clean and comfortable room, easy walking distance to and from the airport. The only negative for this stay, and the only thing keeping me from giving it an “excellent” rating was that we were given a room directly across from the ice machine and beverage vending machine, which were extremely noisy the entire time - my husband is hard of hearing so it didn’t bother him, but I had a very difficult time getting to sleep with the loud humming noise. FYI This was room #224. I mentioned it to the front desk and was told that someone would check it out, but be aware if you are given this room...maybe bring some earplugs. It was a shame because everything else about our one night stay was so pleasant.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Viva Wyndham Azteca An All Inclusive Resort; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We visit many resorts annually and this is the first one we weren't greeted by anyone in the lobby, much less with a glass of chamapgne or juice. The attendant behind the desk acted indifferent to us and acted as if she was doing us a favor. We updgraded to the Azteca which is supposed to be nicer, but the rooms were a real dump -- no frills whatsoever. The staff were ok, but still not as friendly as staff at other resorts. The food was ok, about a 3/5. The beach was nice but a little smaller and crowded. It felt like a hotel and not a resort.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: City Lodge Hotel OR Tambo Airport; City: Kempton Park Greater Johannesburg Gauteng; Review: I often overnight in Joburg and always look for a good deal. This hotel is perfect! Attached to the airport therefore no risky cab rides or dealing with shady operators. In my opinion, this hotel rating should be much higher then the 3*** it has. Rooms are very modern and spacious. Breakfast and internet is a little pricy. Staff is good. I will stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Cape Town; City: Cape Town Central Western Cape; Review: Great location easy access to the waterfront. Rooms are spacious, clean and very contemporary. Great for business but not so sure about family friendliness for little kids. The executive lounge is ok. The food selection during "happy hour" needs much improvement. The lounge doesn't offer a very relaxed or comfortable area to have meetings or just hang out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Sands at Grace Bay; City: Grace Bay Providenciales Turks and Caicos; Review: My 4 yea old and I went on a boys trip to this paradise on earth. We loved every minute of our time at this beautiful resort. We went during the low season which is in September. The hotel was about 10% occupied. The beaches were empty and my 4 year old could run for miles on end. The staff was very helpful although on the slow side- I guess that is the island pace. Barbara, the supervisor at the front desk went out of her way to ensure my son and I had a great room with an ocean view. The food was ok, but lacked on the variety side. Overall, this is a great hotel and we will definitely return to paradise.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Eko Hotels Suites; City: Lagos Lagos State; Review: I stayed in the old Ecko Hotel from 28 November 2015 and checked myself out after only 2 nights. I was booked in this hotel till the 12 December 2015 but I just couldn't bear the filth. This place is totally disgusting and the cleaning staff don't have a clue on hygiene practices or just don't care. The room smelled like body odor; the sheets had hair (not mine - I am bald); the sheets were stained; the AC ran the entire night with no cool air coming out. The bed had bed bugs and I had bites all over my body. I spent the 1st night in this place and approached management the next morning. They agreed to move me and moved me to a similar room with similar issues - the place is just filthy and a total dump. I packed my bags that same night but had no where to go so I spent one more night. The next morning I checked myself out and moved to a boutique hotel with clean contemporary rooms just across the street from ECKO. The best decision ever! Ecko is an example of accepting mediocracy and inferior service and products when management knows better. ECKO is such a dump that I strongly feel it needs to be demolished.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Carillon Beach Resort Inn; City: Panama City Beach Florida; Review: STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE AND DON'T BOOK WITH BOOKIT.COM AS THEY PROMOTE THIS AS A LUXURY RESORT DESTINATION. I was booked here for 3 nights BUT CHECKED OUT 35 MINUTES AFTER CHECKING IN. The biggest plus of this apartment is that Management gave me a full refund as I refused to stay even a single night in this place. The rooms are average and very dirty. The couch had old stains that reminded me of old college frat houses. The furniture was visibly falling apart. I called the front desk and they sent the housekeeping supervisor to my room. She was a sweetheart and explained to me that my complaints are very common but she is constrained by the executives in addressing all the complaints. They don't have Bell Boy service and no breakfast! The pictures online show an elegant luxurious resort but the actual location looks far from it. There is no ocean at all - the facility has a large pond on it. I checked out about 35 minutes after checking in and flew back to Atlanta to plan a trip elsewhere. This apartment building is for people looking for temporary housing - maybe 2-4 weeks. There is nothing about this facility that says hotel much less resort and definitely absolutely nothing luxurious about this. STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE AND DON'T BOOK WITH BOOKIT.COM AS THEY PROMOTE THIS AS A LUXURY RESORT DESTINATION.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort Casino Aquagames; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Domi; Review: My 5 year old son and I went on an adventure trip to the Dominican and chose Sirenis for the waterpark. The resort was overall pretty descent and the rooms were ok. The rooms were a little outdated and definitely could use some TLC and updating. We chose to have dinner at the restaurants which required reservations and skipped out on the general buffet. The restaurants all had good decor but the food was just average. The staff were friendly. A huge nuisance were the vendors that would line up on the walkway between the bedrooms and the restaurant area - you are guaranteed to be approached by at least 4 different vendors trying to sell you something before and after dinner. Not very pleasant at all. The highlight of this resort is the Waterpark. Very well maintained and staffed and the water slides and pools are very functional and a lot of fun. I must say that without the waterpark, this resort would score slightly less then average. The front desk operator named Ricardo went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we were comfortable and happy with everything. Overall, this is a rather average resort and I would definitely not return to it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort Marina; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: This was my 3rd stay within the last 12 months at this facility and i must say everything just gets better every time. The staff are super courteuos and helpful. The 1st 2 times I stayed in standard rooms but my last visit was in an excellent suite with stunning views and an immaculately decorated living area . The rooms are spacious, clean and very well kept. On 2 occasions I had to get assistance from the Duty Manager, Mr. Awais Ahmed. The hotel staff were doing some work in a room close to mine which required them to use an electric drill - which interfered with my afternoon nap. I called the front desk and within 3 minutes, Mr. Ahmed had addressed the situation and rescheduled the work for a time when I was out of my room. He followed up with me twice thereafter to ensure everything is to my satisfaction. The second time I reached out was to follow up on my requested late check out. This was also once again resolved expeditiously. All the staff members I interacted with truly gave me superb service and they all seemed geniunely committed to my enjoyable stay at the hotel. I have since made this hotel my only home in Dubai as I travel there frequently for business. About 65% of my time is spent traveling annually so I think I know a thing or two about a great hotel. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi is truly an excellent facility with an excellent management team - plus it is great value for money!!! taShi; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Ice Man, Captain America, and the New Face of American War; Author: Evan Wright; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I loved this book, and absolutely flew through it. It's made me reconsider a lot of my views on the military, and about the war in Iraq in general. Although I still disagree with our reasons for going, and believe that we've done a lot of harm since it started, I see now why it looked like the right thing to do at the time. The prose style is clean and engaging, never overblown, and it hits your emotions without being melodramatic. The moments of humor contrast with the descriptions of combat and the sheer incompetence of the commanders, making the whole book very bleakly comedic. You really feel like you get to know these guys and come to like them, even the ones that you know you'd never get along with in reality. In SF&F, people talk a lot about "worldbuilding," the way of writing an alien society so that readers feel like it's fully constructed without a lot of boring exposition. Although life in the military is not an alien society, it may as well be one for civilians, so the worldbuilding in this book is excellent, giving you an idea of what it's like to be part of a unit like this: the jargon, the acronyms, the profanity, and the outlook on life. The complexity of the situation in Iraq is staggering. It's one thing to know this intellectually, and another entirely to see it play out for the people who are there, soldiers and citizens alike. I definitely plan on checking out the miniseries as well, but I don't think it will be half as good as the book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of a Donner Party Bride; Author: Daniel James Brown; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I've always been into stories of the Oregon Trail (blame it on the computer game and the Dear America book series) since I was younger. This account of the Donner Party was very well-written and absorbing. I especially appreciated the little details about frontier life, and the contextualizing about the technology and attitudes of the time. And "harrowing" is really the right word for what happened to these people. Like all survival stories, it's best read at home next to your computer and other modern comforts...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Leviathan (Leviathan, #1); Author: Scott Westerfeld; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I liked this a lot. The characters, Alek and Devyn are well-drawn and have realistic flaws. It's not just "this boy is an orphaned aristocrat!" and "this girl is feisty (tm)!" And you can't go wrong with WWI + living airships + giant German mechas. The alternate history bit is fun too. The book does drag a little in places, I feel like this is a bit of a problem with some YA series: things are elided because of space restraints, or they drag on to prep a sequel. Occupational hazard, I guess. But overall, I'd definitely rec this to steampunk fans, no matter how old they are.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Daughters of an Emerald Dusk; Author: Katherine V. Forrest; Genres: paranormal, romance, fantasy, fiction; Review: Eh, I liked the first two for the sexy, over-the-top plots and ridiculously beautiful, perfect characters, but this one totally lost me. I think that the author may be reversing her earlier opinions on feminist/lesbian separatism, which is all to the good (in this feminist's opinion), but this book slides into an odd aside on environmentalism that we're meant to see as utopian but ends up being *terrifying.* If it had been played straight as SF-horror, it would be similar to Solaris, but as it is, it just seems silly. Still, it was kind of a fun and quick read and it makes me want to revisit the guilty pleasures of "Coral Dawn."; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Tigana; Author: Guy Gavriel Kay; Genres: history, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Oh man, I really feel like a bad fantasy fan for this, but I couldn't get through Tigana at all. The writing is great, but when I was halfway through the book and realized that I (a) didn't care about the characters and (b) had no idea why the quest was so important to them, I stopped reading. Maybe I'll try it again and have a different reaction, because a lot of people seem to have really enjoyed this.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Heir to Sevenwaters (Sevenwaters, #4); Author: Juliet Marillier; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I was utterly let down by this book. The original Sevenwaters Trilogy is so fantastic and heartwrenching, and the writing is so vivid, that this book was just a complete comedown. It reads like a token attempt at YA fiction (and I love YA fiction! and Mariller has shown that she can write YA very well with her "Wildwood" series) with overly simplistic language, statements of the obvious, a predictable plot, and a boring heroine. What happened?; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Windup Girl; Author: Paolo Bacigalupi; Genres: paranormal, young-adult, fantasy, fiction; Review: Yeah, never mind. I don't think I'm going to finish this one. The writing is good, but the constantly shifting points of view make it extremely difficult to connect to the story. There are some interesting ideas here, but nothing I haven't seen before. And no one loves dystopias more than I do, but you've got to give me something to connect to! It can't be completely despicable, self-serving characters all the way around...and if they are, they should at least be interesting.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (Inheritance Trilogy, #1); Author: N.K. Jemisin; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I really enjoyed this, and flew through it. I've admired the author's blog posts and short stories, so I was excited to read her novel. It's rare to find something so different in fantasy--a heroine who is smart and snarky, but who possesses the negative sides of those traits, a gods' war that involves human with tangible consequences and effects on the world, and a "chosen one" plotline with real intrigue and suspense. The style is clean, witty, and epic without being overwrought. Although this is slated to be a trilogy, this novel stands on its own very well, but I am looking forward to reading more in this universe.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ysabel; Author: Guy Gavriel Kay; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Enjoyable, and a quick read. Overall, I don't know if I've completely changed my mind about Kay or not, I still find his prose a little full of itself and self-consciously "literary." Mostly what I liked about this book was the idea that history itself has a weight and a presence. Anyone who has been to see very old ruins can tell you that, but it's a difficult thing to describe accurately, and Kay nails it. Ned is a good viewpoint character, but I don't know if he really seemed 15 to me, and the constant references to Coldplay are really going to date this thing. Led Zep, on the other hand, is always a good choice.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Inside Out (Insider, #1); Author: Maria V. Snyder; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Picked this up at work because I was intrigued by the cover. When I opened it up I saw it was published by Harlequin Teen (!) but the writing is much better than their adult romance imprint. Go figure. Cool concept with a bit of a twist that made me like it much more in hindsight. The heroine is more prickly than your usual romance main character, which started out as a little annoying, but provided her with a much more satisfying character arc. The main problem I had with it was a YA issue in general, which is that the plot dragged a bit in the beginning/middle, and then wraps up way too quickly in the end with the promise of a sequel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cetaganda (Vorkosigan Saga, #9); Author: Lois McMaster Bujold; Genres: romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Very fun continuation of the Vorkosigan saga. I just wish Bujold would cut Miles a break and let him get laid already!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Western Digital WDH1U10000N My Book Essential Edition 2.0 Hard Drive 1 TB - 7200 rpm - 3.5 - External; Brand: Western Digital; Review: UPDATE 2008-02-05: Everything has been running fine. This thing is very quiet. I have it sitting in my entertainment center, hooked up to a TViX M4000 as a slave drive. It works great, powers down when the TViX shuts down, comes on when it start up. Absolutely great for what it is. UPDATE 2007-11-25: So far so good with replacement drive... The drive is properly spinning down after periods of inactivity, and it shuts itself off completely when disconnected or when the computer powers down. It appears to be running cool, but it's hard to tell since there's no side of the case that physically touches or sinks heat from the drive. Transfer speeds are about 30-35MB/sec on my machine, not too bad. Not blazing fast Doesn't appear to run hot No power switch (turns itself on/off, spins down drive after inactivity) USB plug is mini-B Works well as TViX M4000 slave device ORIGINAL REVIEW: Got this home and plugged it into my WinXP SP2 computer. It took about 2 minutes to recognize. Next, formatted it NTFS and filled it with about 500GB of files, overnight. The drive was making some funny noises, like the read heads were resetting, but the speed of the transfer didn't seem affected so it was left to finish. The next morning the transfer was complete, so a verify was started... failed on all the files... windows had problems reading the directories too. Reboot, no help... disconnecting the drive and reconnecting seems to have helped, but who knows what is going on with this thing. Perhaps I got a lemon? Perhaps the USB cable was bad? We'll find out after it's returned. For now, 1 star rating.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: IOGEAR GCS84B MiniView SE 4-Port Desktop KVM Switch with Cables; Brand: IOGEAR; Review: It's only DB-15 for video and PS-2 for mouse and keyboard. If that's not what you need then move along. But if you need a PS-2 KVM, this is the one you want. I've used various KVM solutions over the years (Raritan, Belkin, Black box, etc.) and this one is very good. Quite frankly, for the money you're not going to get anything better. Switching from computer to computer with CTRL-CTRL (left or right, depending on whether you want to switch down or up in number) works great. Like any product, there are some gotchas: - It seems to have killed macro ability on my Gateway2000 AnyKey keyboard - The cables that came with it are OK, but they are cheap. If you have issues with your display being a bit fuzzy or unstable, try swapping out the VGA cabling. On my setup it helped a great deal. P.S. If you have a laptop, or any other PC that doesn't have the PS2 mouse/keyboard hookups, get the IOGear GUC100KM unit, it works flawlessly. Also if you are looking for a wireless mouse that supports PS2 connectivity, the Logitech LX7 is also a great product that works with this KVM.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SANOXY 2.4GHz Wireless Air Keyboard and Air Mouse with 3D Gaming Support for PC and Android; Brand: SANOXY; Review: Summary: A limited wireless keyboard and mouse combo in a remote control package Details: Since this is just a keyboard/mouse, that is why no driver is needed... it uses the standard windows HID drivers. The mouse function is OK... left/right mouse buttons, a menu button, etc The volume down button gets "stuck". Well, not the button on the remote... the USB dongle keeps sending the volume down key. The only way to remedy this is to unplug the USB dongle. Not good... don't use the volume buttons. The rest of the remote just sends keyboard keypresses. Except for the "numlock" key... that key changes what the other keys do. Each press cycles between cursor -> letters -> capital letters -> "Typewriting" mode (which is similar to older cell phone typing) For the money (less than $10) this might be worth keeping around for some presentation functions. But, as a media center remote, there are better options.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: AM amCase Leather Case Cover and Flip Stand (Black) for Apple iPad 2/iPad 3/iPad 4; Brand: amCase; Review: PROS: This case fits the new iPad nicely. The holes are in appropriate places for the cameras and speaker. The magnetic on/off feature works 100% on the new iPad. The magnets also hold the cover over the screen securely when closed. The two landscape stand angles (one for typing, and one more suitable for watching a video) both seem to work well. The outside material is not leather, but it is a pleasant-feeling textured plastic. The inside material feels like a thin piece of foam. This is probably designed to avoid scratching the iPad. The entire case is very lightweight and does not add significant heft to the iPad. Price (I paid $15.99) is reasonable for what you get. CONS: The corners of the iPad are not protected. If dropped there will likely be some damage. Like most iPad cases, there are no portrait stand angles supported. If you fold the cover all the way back, there is nothing to hold the cover in place and nothing for your hand to slip into for one-handed viewing. The magnets are adequate to hold the cover closed with "normal" usage, but there is no strap or other mechanism to give you extra comfort. If you are rough with your electronics, be aware of this. CONCLUSION: I have 2 kids under 10 and would not hand them the iPad in this case.

Feels like there is a little play, like maybe a 0.9 or 1.0 driver would be better (the 1.2 driver was too big) but since we're not loosening rusted bolts with these, it works just fine.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Logitech Trackman Marble Trackball Mouse – Wired USB Ergonomic Mouse for Computers, with 4 Programmable Buttons, Dark Gray; Brand: Logitech; Review: No scroll wheel is a real downer for this mouse. I love the programmable buttons. Using the Setpoint software ([url]): - The left/right buttons can be swapped - The small left button can be: Back, Forward, Universal Scroll, AutoScroll, Document Flip, Generic Button, Page Up, or "Other". - The small right button can be: Back, Forward, Universal Scroll, Autoscroll, Document Flip, Generic Button, or "Other" ===== SCROLLING ===== "Universal Scroll" makes a program window scroll several lines up/down/left/right when you move the ball. To keep scrolling, you must keep moving the ball. This is similar to a standard scroll wheel on a mouse, with a bonus of going left/right also. "Auto Scroll" makes a program window scroll continuously. Move the ball a little, it will scroll slowly. Move the ball a lot, it will scroll faster. No need to keep moving the ball. This is similar to third button press (or scroll wheel press) on a mouse. The problem is, these scrolling options don't work the same everywhere. IE, Firefox, Notepad, Outlook... each program seems to behave differently. I tried setting the small left button to "Universal Scroll" and the small right button to "AutoScroll" to get the most out of this mouse, but it is still just not quite as nice as a standard scroll wheel. ===== "OTHER" TASKS ===== These can be assigned to the 2 small buttons: Close, Copy, Cut, Do Nothing, Double Click, Drag Lock, Keystroke assignment, Maximize, Middle button (left small button only), Minimize, Page Down (left small button only), Paste, Redo, Show Desktop (right small button only), Start Menu, Unassigned (left small button only), Undo. Keystroke assignment can be a single key or combination of modifier (CTRL, CTRL-ALT, or ALT) plus single key. ===== 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE ===== There is an old program ("Marble Mouse Wheel") that attempts to make the buttons work more like a regular middle button or scroll wheel. I only played with it for about 30 minutes, it does require you to run as administrator on Windows 7 and is also unsupported/out of development. Most features seem to be included in the most recent SetPoint software. Might be best to steer clear of this. I have used another program called "Pinnacle Game Profiler" to do just about anything in response to clicks on this mouse. This program also works in response to keyboard strokes and joystick/gamepad buttons, both analog and digital. If you want to create some really customized happenings based on keyboard/mouse/gamepad input, and you are technically inclined, this is highly recommended. ===== OTHER THOUGHTS AND CONCLUSION ===== This mouse has some other nice features, like different settings for different programs; you can also set the orientation (which way is "up"). There is another program you can download for this mouse called "Flow Scroll" but it seems like it only works with Internet Explorer? For me, the lack of a standard scroll wheel really kills the whole implementation. The included software tries to close the gap, but unfortunately it comes up short. Other than that, a very sturdy piece of hardware.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sony SRSX5 Portable NFC Bluetooth Wireless Speaker System (Black) with Speakerphone; Brand: Sony; Review: For the price I paid ($120) can't complain too much. The sound is decent. Some things to know: - The sound is very bass-heavy, and not in a good way. Listening to podcasts in the bathroom, male voices are hard to discern. Pressing the "sound" button helps enough for it to be bearable. (I think that is for some pseudo-surround-sound, but it removes some of the bass) - There is no way to find out how charged up/drained the battery is, until the unit stops working. When it stops, it will pause your device's music player (at least that's how it works with iPhone); Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars with Tripod Adapter; Brand: Celestron; Review: These things are huge. It's like a cartoon version of binoculars... really brings the birds in close. Maybe TOO close for bird watching? For stargazing, they are OK but won't replace a telescope anytime soon. If you just want to look at the moon or all the stars in a constellations at the same time, these are great. The tripod mount is a little flimsy, get a different one if you are concerned.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SiliconDust HDHomeRun PRIME Cable HDTV (3-Tuner); Brand: SiliconDust; Review: These things work great! Rock solid performance, haven't thought about them at all since the installation. They just work like you want them to. Make sure to get a good antenna, it will be money well spent. If you get a weak signal, don't blame the HDHomeRun. Bought 2 of these and hooked up to a clearstream 4V antenna using a splitter to get 4 channels of recording action. On the other side of the network is my Windows 7 Media Center PC. These work natively with the WMC software, no need for special drivers or other oddities.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: OSD Audio AP850 All-weather Outdoor/Patio Speakers with 8" Polypropylene Woofer and 1" Ferrofluid-cooled Silk Dome Tweeter, 180W (90Wx2); Brand: OSD Audio; Review: Have these installed in my garage, with a Sonos Connect AMP driving them. The sound won't replace larger speakers anytime soon, but for the size and price these are great. Originally tried to install these horizontally, but these things are heavier than they look and kept rotating downward so re-oriented them vertically and haven't had a problem. After re-orienting them, I noticed the tightening screws can accept an allen wrench so maybe that's the trick to keep them from rotating?; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Bella Milano; City: O'Fallon, IL; Review: This is our third time here....ONLY....because the food is pretty good; however...the service is HORRIBLE! The hostesses lack any type of excitement, and we've waited AT LEAST 10 minutes each time to see our servers after being seated. SIDENOTE: The server who finally showed up on the third trip acknowledged that we had been waiting for an unacceptable amount of time and apologized. We've never been here when they are busy, and given the lousy service, we'd probably better not. If you can get past the service aspect....the food is pretty good!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Flamentco's the Place; City: O'fallon, IL; Review: Had the opportunity to visit this establishment Saturday....I was NOT disappointed! From the "in-store entertainment" to the freshness and quality of the food...I have NO complaints! We tried "The Jungle", pepperoni pizza, and 4 different flavors of wings--hot, mild, bbq, and Everything(the Everything flavor is a MUST)!

Title: TGI Fridays; City: Fairview Hts, IL; Review: I visit TGIFridays fairly regularly, but tonight's visit will certainly change that. First off, my waiter has about as much personality as a shoe. Secondly, the food has zero flavor. We ordered the baby back ribs and the Sizzling Chicken and Shrimp. Whomever is in the kitchen....FORGOT TO SEASON THE FOOD....The ribs came out WITH NO SAUCE(two tablespoons of sauce were in a little cup). The sizzling chicken never sizzled and was dry. The saving grace of the visit was the manager offering to exchange the items. Funny thing is as soon as I asked for a manager, the server said, "Oh, about the ribs?" So, I'm wondering just how many complaints they receive about the ribs. TGIFRIDAYS....not a good visit for us this time. UPDATE: The replacement orders have taken over 30 minutes to come out(and still haven't come out)!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Dandy Inn; City: Fairview Heights, IL; Review: If you enjoy elementary school cafeteria food....THIS is the place! What a huge disappointment. Our order consisted of chicken tenders, shrimp basket, chili cheese dog, loaded nachos, and jalapeño poppers. #1: The chicken strips are NOT freshly made. They were the same kind, look, consistency as the frozen Pilgrims Pride tenders from Sam's. #2: The shrimp in the shrimp basket were actually popcorn shrimp...again FROZEN! #3: The chili cheese dog bared a strong resemblance to the "gas station" ones, and the fries were SEVERELY over cooked. #4: The "loaded nachos" were actually tortilla chips with the same chili and cheese that comes from the machine at convenience stores. #4: The jalapeño poppers were DEFINITELY the frozen ones that you can purchase at your local grocery store. We were extremely disappointed. This was our first visit, and needless to say....OUR ONLY! We just wasted $47. Oh, and the customer service we received from Donald was about as thrilling as the food.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Subway; City: O'Fallon, IL; Review: I visited this restaurant on a Saturday. At that time I was the only customer. The sandwich maker/cashier had about as much customer service training as a shoe--Angelica was her name. She was probably the most unpleasant, dry, poorly trained Subway employee I have ever met. She became EXTRA irritated when she realized I was using a coupon. When she tried to charge me $15 for two 6 inch sandwiches and a soda, despite my BOGO coupon, I refused to pay and asked her to explain to me how she got $15 out of that. Frustrated, she did something else to the register and gave me another ridiculous amount--all while huffing and puffing. Again, I refused to pay that and explained the coupon to her AGAIN. FINALLY, after rolling her eyes a bazillion times, she gave me a more appropriate total. I paid, and asked her who the manager was. She replied, "He's not here." I asked when he'd be there, and she replied, "Sometime next week." So, I had to let her know that her customer service skills were below acceptable. From the unconcern she showed, I'm guessing she's related to the owner of that location and will face no consequences for her rude, unpleasant attitude. Not to mention the fact that the place was dirty. My advice: There are about 4-5 more sandwich shops very close by...TAKE THE DRIVE!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: O'Charley's Restaurant & Bar; City: O'Fallon, IL; Review: O'Charley's has been going downhill for years. The only thing that really works for them is the "Kids Eat Free"; which actually doesn't benefit me, because my "kids" are past the age range. Anyway, the family wanted to go for dinner, and since they weren't crowded, we went. I ordered the steak and rib combo with loaded smashed potatoes and broccoli. The steak was the size of a chicken strip. The ribs were over baked to the point of being dried out. The potatoes had some unidentifiable lumps in them, and the broccoli didn't even have a HINT of flavor. At the end of the meal, the manager inquired about the satisfaction of the meal. Most of my meal was still on the plate, and I informed him that the food was not up to par. He looked at me like I had to be out of my mind. His response was, "Oh, ok!" Then, he disappeared. We visited O'Charley's frequently for years, so I can confidently say i am shocked this place remains open.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: ZANZEA Womens Round Neck Striped Irregular Long Maxi Dress Kaftan Dress Cover Up; Brand: ZANZEA; Review: I read many of the reviews, and they were somewhat mixed. I was hopeful and ordered this dress anyway. I thought it looked cute in the picture, but after actually trying it on I figured they must have pinned this up or "fixed" it somehow on the model for the photo. I purchased a medium. My normal size generally runs between a medium and large, and this dress was so unflattering on. The cut is weird, and it does not take the shape as shown on the model. It just hangs down with no shape at all. I wouldn't even wear it as a beach cover up. The fabric is nice and comfortable, but the style just did not work for me.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: ExOfficio Women's Give-N-Go Bikini Briefs; Brand: ExOfficio; Review: I initially purchased 3 pairs to wear on a trip to Disney World. When we got home, I bought 5 more pairs and some for my daughter. They are amazingly light weight and keep you from having "swamp tushy" all day long. It can get humid in Ohio in the summers and I wear these golfing and they hold up great. I have not experienced an issues mentioned by other reviewers as it pertains to the elastic pulling out or shrinkage. They control both odor and moisture and I have recommended them to numerous people. Probably the best thing about these undies are the seams - they are flat, not bulky and leave no impression in your skin like some panties can.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Animewild The Big Bang Theory Bazinga Cape Adult Socks; Brand: Animewild; Review: My son was thrilled to get these socks for his birthday, but was disappointed (as was I), when after wearing them for the first time, they got holes in them. Granted, he is 12, and hole-y socks are par of the course, but the holes that appeared were around the top cuff of the sock. Not where the capes attach (which would maybe make sense), but along the front. I would have expected a higher quality for the price.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

The biggest reason, is the lack of breathability in these panties. When purchasing panties to wear while working out or touring in FL during the high, humid summer; you don't want to be damp. The brain trusts who invented these panties put a cotton liner in the crotch - the area most in need of wicking! I have owned these for roughly 6 months, the seams are coming apart/unravelling. Poorly made panties all around.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Weightless; Author: Visit Amazon's Kandi Steiner Page; Review: When pesky things like a clean house, laundry, eating and children get in the way of reading a good book, it only makes you savor it even more when you get a quiet pocket of time with it. Weightless was one of those books for me. This was my first book by Kandi Steiner, but I fully intend on rectifying that. I didn't know much about Weightless, other than the fact that it had a gorgeous cover and an intriguing blurb, but it really blew me away. (I almost want to use a review full of cliches just to tie into the best friend in this book, but I won't.) At first I thought that our heroine Natalie was doing all of this change for a man, but this book is so much more than that. It's about a young woman who's never really been happy, but is only realizing it now. And she's 18, so that's understandable. It's a love story, yes, but it's almost more about Natalie's love story with herself. About her finding the strength inside that she didn't know she had. And speaking of the love story? Yeesh. Rhodes. Yeah. He's... *clears throat* he's good. You'll like him. They have a believable build to their relationship, and a lot of push/pull that works with the storyline. What really took me by surprise was the suspenseful element that appeared in the latter part of the book, and in a good way. I found myself breathing faster and reading faster, even though I didn't want it to end. There was something so endearing about Natalie's struggle to find herself, to believe in herself. Love helped her, of course, but ultimately it had to come from her. And when it comes, when she sees herself the way that everyone else does, it's incredibly touching and beautiful. The reason it's so poignant, seeing Natalie come to that realization, is because the book puts you so firmly into her head and into her heart. It wouldn't work if anyone else had a POV, bc Natalie is what it's all about. Weightless is the kind of book that you'll wish you could read for the first time again, and be jealous of all the people who get to do exactly that. It's the kind of book that could change someone's life by reading it. I had a huge smile on my face when I finished, because it just made me feel so good. Besides giving up sleep to read (which I ALSO did for this book), that's the best compliment I can possibly give to an author. Kudos, Kandi, I'll be coming back for more!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marriage to a Mister (A Daughters of Regency Novel) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's DeAnne Cherry Page; Review: Marriage to a Mister is a fantastic example of why Historical Romance (specifically Regency) is my go-to when I need a break from contemporary romance. This sweet, fun story has a great, believable build to the second chance romance of Fleur and Evan. It's precisely what I like in a book that makes me smile and gives me a light-hearted break from the heavy, angsty reads. There's enough back story to show me why this arranged marriage is so hard for them to overcome, but doesn't overpower the story. Very excited for the rest of the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: One with You (Crossfire); Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Day Page; Review: If I had paid $9.99 for this farce of a book, I would be LIVID. So, she's a popular author, right? Does that mean her editors don't step in and say something like, "umm, Ms Day? We're a little concerned that the last 25% is ridiculous and makes no sense with the rest of the series. We're also wondering why Eva suddenly doesn't mind filling her time with decorating the penthouse when her career was something she separated from Gideon over? Oh, oh you like that that stuff doesn't make any sense with the previous four books? Cool. Yeah, let's leave it all in then. TOTALLY agree with you." What even just happened? The *only* reason I give this book 2 stars is because I enjoyed seeing them settled and stable. But other than that, this book was a complete joke to people who waited for the conclusion to Eva and Gideon's story.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The True Story of Atticus and Hazel; Author: Visit Amazon's Fisher Amelie Page; Review: Gobsmacked. It's just about the only word that feels appropriate after finishing The True Story of Atticus and Hazel. I've never read a book by Fisher Amelie before, so I truly had no idea what I was getting into. I started reading in the wee hours this morning, thinking I might take in a couple chapters while I made sure my kids went back to sleep. Instead, I found myself out of bed, making coffee and curling up in a dark family room so I could devour this in peace. And my heart went right out the window. It feels like a simple story of chemistry, with shades of insta-love and undeniable fate. But it's so much more. Am I being purposefully vague? Yes. Please do yourself a favor and don't spoil this story. Don't read reviews with spoilers. Don't ask someone who's read it which parts will tear at your heart. I'm so glad that there were no reviews for me to read, honestly. The only puzzle piece that I'll give you is that it does standalone. No cliffhangers here, people. Just gut-wrenching emotion and a perfectly, imperfect love. I want to read it again. I want to go back and pretend like I'd never read it so I can read it for the first time. I've only felt that way about one other book this year. I don't cry easily in books, nor do I often feel true surprise in the way a story unfolds. But Fisher Amelie gave me both of those things in spades. Along with a massive book hangover that I truly wasn't prepared for. Some people may not like this book, which sounds odd to put in my five star review, but the depth of emotion might be uncomfortable or unbelievable for some readers. It wasn't for me. I FELT all of them so deeply. I've never gone through the things in this book, but I've been through enough in my life to know that sometimes, that uncomfortable depth is the only thing that you are capable of feeling. It's why I'm still sitting here with an aching, overwhelmed heart. One of my favorites of 2016, maybe 2015 too. I won't re-read this more than once or twice a year, because it's a special book. It's going to my tippy-top VIP shelf, to be pulled out in those quiet moments when I want to relive Atticus and Hazel's love.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Paper Fools (Hearts and Arrows) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Staci Hart Page; Review: It's time for me to admit something to you- I read a lot. I read more than I should. Probably 3-4 books a week on average (you do the math). Of those 3-4 books a week, 100% of them are romance (no shame). I'm also someone who loves a good trope. Sometimes though, I want that feeling you get when you read a book and you go, THIS, this is a book unlike anything else I've read before. Paper Fools, and the Hearts and Arrows series, is one of the most original and entertaining premises I've EVER read for a book/series. Ever. Staci takes the gods and goddesses on Olympus and makes them fresh and contemporary and relevant. They're deeply fleshed out characters set onto a backdrop of intricate stories and rich history. I could probably read an entire series JUST with the goings on of Olympus. But then on top of that, Staci gives her readers an entire love story within that ambitious foundation. It's ambitious (I know I already said that, but it IS) and wonderful, and the nuances that she puts into her characters truly blows my mind. The Hearts and Arrows series is something magical, something wonderful and romantic, something that I won't forget for a very, very long time. I. WANT. MORE. (please); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shift (Hearts and Arrows) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Staci Hart Page; Review: I make no bones about the fact that Staci Hart is one of my favorite contemporary romance authors, but this series is on a whole other level. It's unique and refreshing, the plot is different than ANYTHING out there right now for romance readers, and I could not read Shift fast enough. The writing is beautiful and lush, the framework for both the modern day couples and the gods and goddesses on Olympus absolutely blows my mind with the level of detail and research, the way she makes you feel so invested in every single relationship. Kat and Dillon are both strong willed and full of fire, which makes their chemistry electric to read. And beyond that, she writes so much angst, , passion, heartache, drama and longing with Dita, Ares, Adonis and Heff. It's unlike anything I've ever read. I never want it to end. Ever.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Living Out Loud (The Austens); Author: Visit Amazon's Staci Hart Page; Review: Anyone who knows me knows of my UNDYING LOVE for Jane Austen, and I'm also pretty vocal about my love for Staci Hart's writing. I absolutely adore this retelling of Sense and Sensibility. The writing is poetic and beautiful, a fitting type of lyrical storytelling when an author is trying to capture the soul of an Austen novel in present day. And she captures it perfectly. Colonel Brandon always felt like a side character to me in S&S, never quite getting the time he deserved in the spotlight of the original novel, and in Living Out Loud, Hart makes Greg Brandon into my absolute favorite kind of hero. He's steadfast and true, never wavering in his affection. He's not an obnoxious alpha ordering her around, he remains unwavering in his loyalty, being what she needs of him until she's ready for more. He sees Annie for what she is, for the way she views life, and loves her for it. He doesn't want to change her, he simply wants to love her. If you love Austen like me, I think you'll find this a wonderful testament to the original work, and just like me, you'll be impatiently waiting for the other sister's story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

I suppose I could have rolled out the dough more but that would mean making a mess and I didn't want to do that. The cutter wheel is nice because it crimps the dough together. I had a hard time finding the crease that it fits into but I managed to do it just fine. The pies came out really easy with no sticking. However, you don't want to leave the pies in that pan over night as they will stick when the dough gets wet from the filling.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Cuisinart CPB-300 350 Watt BPA-Free Blender; Brand: Cuisinart; Review: Probably not a good idea for smoothies as I have had it exactly one month and my husband put 7 frozen strawberries in it with some lemonade and it blew up and glass went all over his chest and the kitchen. I'm not going in there to see it. Well, I got up the courage to go into the kitchen and low and behold there is a hole right through the plastic container. I'm not really sure how that happened. I wonder how hard it will be to get a replacement container. Dang!; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Collide: Book One in the Collide Series; Author: Visit Amazon's Gail McHugh Page; Review: Loved it! A good, quick read that's hard to put down. Can't wait for book #2! I definitely recommend it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pulse: Book Two in the Collide Series; Author: Visit Amazon's Gail McHugh Page; Review: "I f***ing love you" over and over and over. This book was boring and annoying. They love each other. Got it. Lets move on with a plot, please. I had to force myself to finish reading it. Don't waste your money.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Opportunist; Author: Visit Amazon's Tarryn Fisher Page; Review: Loved this book! Loved Olivia! So many lead female characters are annoying (Emily in Pulse? Puke!!) but she was funny and refreshing. I highly, highly recommend! The whole series is good!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dirty Red (Love Me with Lies) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Tarryn Fisher Page; Review: Thought I'd hate it because Leah is such a horrible person, but this was such a fun, entertaining book! Flows so well with The Opportunist and will leave you hating her even more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thief (Love Me With Lies) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Tarryn Fisher Page; Review: I wish the ending had a little more pizzazz, but this book was great like the other two.

Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows:
Title: A Dangerous Fortune; Author: Visit Amazon's Ken Follett Page; Review: This is a complex story of financial mores gone awry. The historical settings are really fleshed out, so this book may not be ideal for those who like a fast read - it's dense. However, it really pays off if you stick with it and look past the black and white characters.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Line of Succession; Author: Visit Amazon's William Tyree Page; Review: I co-organize a small book club, and at my turn decided to propose reading Line of Succession because of the subtitle, "The War on Water Has Begun," thinking it might spark some interesting conversation about environmentalism in fiction. I was wrong about that (the club didn't give a whit about environmental issues - and it isn't really a "serious" environmental book after all, IMHO). However, most everyone unanimously had great fun reading it. There was just enough action to be entertaining and had few of the cliches we have read in other political thriller books. To echo another reviewer we are hoping for another 'Blake Carver' book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Judas Gate (Sean Dillon); Author: Visit Amazon's Jack Higgins Page; Review: Good book. Not quite what I expected (I was thinking a little more academic). Overall, great fun. They should make a movie outta this.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Capital Offense; Author: Visit Amazon's Kathleen Antrim Page; Review: Pretty top notch political thriller. Smarter than your average book in this genre. I'll be back to read another Antrim novel again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rogue Empire; Author: Visit Amazon's William Tyree Page; Review: Got a galley copy of this and it was well worth my time. I can't say whether I would have believed the plot two years ago, but given the evidence that foreign states are apparently influencing our elections, I was ALL IN on this one and ready to share it with friends. Epilogue def left me hoping for a sequel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy, #1); Author: Amish Tripathi; Genres: history, romance, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Overrated. Don't jump on the bandwagon. This book has some very gripping moments but not something that you are compelled to finish. Shiva comes across in this book as being a dumb individual ruled by his emotions It's like someone had a checklist of things that had to go into the book and was hell bent on slotting them into the proper place without taking the time to make everything flow or make it into a really enjoyable story. but the book ends in a TOTAL cliff-hanger only I don't really CARE what happens next and have no interest in reading the rest of the trilogy, but it feels like someone ripped out the last couple pages of the book.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Americanah; Author: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Disappointed. Expected so much from adichie specially after reading half of a yellow Sun. Narration was amazing and detailing was at it's best but story was weak. Ifemelu pretends to be so sanctimonious and 'sassy' while she is not. Although character of obinze is more believable and absorbing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Roads To Mussoorie; Author: Ruskin Bond; Genres: history, children, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: To all the finer things we take for granted. To the butterflies and buuttercups. To chestnut and pine trees. To early mornings and birds. To fine breakfast and ice creams. To roads we never noticed. To reading a beautiful poem and to taking in the perfume of a rose. Ruskin bond knows everything, he just knows.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1); Author: Sarah J. Maas; Genres: young-adult, romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Creates so much of hype and ends, making you look like a fool. Celaena is the greatest warrior of all time, queen of the underworld, aficionado of battles. But she is a selfish snob in the end. Portraited as an arrogant assassin she fails to meet expectations. I liked Nehemia's character, trying to be a damsel but comes out as a witch or warrior would be a better word. Dorian's character is simple and he is kind and everything that a prince should be but the character didn't come s out with a bloom it feels like he is holding on something. On the whole story was good and would be better if writer stopped rhapsodizing once.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Viwenni Women's Suit Collar High Sleeveless Work to Wear Pencil Office Dresses; Brand: Viwenni; Review: I read reviews on this dress and decided to order two sizes bigger than I normally wear. The dress is a bit big and baggy around my middle and big in the armpit area. I am normally a 10-12 in dresses, and have an hourglass shape. The dress seems to be cut for a muffin top shape and not so much for hourglass. I ordered an XXL and the length is prefect, just to the knee. If I would have ordered my actual size, a L, it would have fit wonderfully but might have been a bit short because I have a big bigger hips and bottom. This dress would be okay for work but does need some sort of a slip underneath as the material is pretty see through, especially in sunlight. Also, the black color is a bit faded looking. Personally, this dress shouldn't be sold for more than $15, in my opinion. I will purchase from this vendor in the future though. The order is what I expected.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bangkokpants Women's Boho Pants Hippie Clothes Yoga Outfits Peacock Design One Size Fits; Brand: Bangkokpants; Review: loved these pants until they ripped the first day wearing them... I am a size 12 with bigger hips, thighs, and bottom. the pants fit me just perfectly, but i wore them during a summer concert, sweat a bit, and the material ripped after sitting, right behind my thing. if these ripped at the seam, I could understand, but the actual material ripped from being wet and of poor quality. I would recommend these pants for someone who has thinner thighs, where there is complete flow of the pants, and no tightness like they were for me. I recommend sizes 8 and below..; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Just My Size Women's Smooth Finish Regular Reinforced Toe Panty Hose (1-3x) Eco; Brand: ; Review: Save your money. Although these are the right opaqueness, these are so fragile, that my littlest bit of rough hands caused snags and tiny holes in them after putting them on for the first time. These two pair should not have costed more than $3 for the two.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Spirit of the Knights Boutique Hotel; City: Rhodes Town Rhodes Dodecanese South Aegean; Review: the Spirits of the Knights is a haven in the old city and close everything that you would want to see. The service was exemplary, Alex was very helpful with advice and just making us feel comfortable without being intrusive. Breakfast in the courtyard was a great way to start the day. The room was fantastic and my only criticism of it was no ventilation in the bathroom which made it more like a sauna.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Casa das Janelas com Vista; City: Lisbon Lisbon District Central Portugal; Review: My wife and I have traveled extensively and have not enjoyed a hotel as good as this. The service, the breakfast and the rooms are all high quality. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The common dining / lounge serves as breakfast in the morning and a relaxing bar in the afternoons. The location is quiet yet close to the vibrant neighborhood of Baixa- Chiado. The only drawback is the walk from the metro / tram / funicular with your luggage. Thank you for the wonderful stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clydesdale Manor; City: Hobart Greater Hobart Tasmania; Review: I was apprehensive after reading reviews about the self check in procedure. I was sent an email with very clear instructions and I was comfortably in my room within one minute of arriving. The room was beautifully appointed and had all the amenities you would want, queen size bed, wardrobe to hang clothes and large bathroom wit all modern conveniences. The common lounge are is a delight to relax with complimentary port and chocolate peanuts. Breakfast in the dining room was delightful with a lovely view out to the garden and choice of both continental and cooked breakfast included in the rate. The breakfast and table service were excellent as was the coffee. The location is excellent, a 2 minute walk to a good variety of shops and restaurants and 5 minutes to Wrest Point. Thoroughly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Villa; City: Pondicherry Union Territory of Pondicherry; Review: I stayed in the South Room on the pool terrace, while the view over roof tops is not great, I suspect it is much quieter that then the north side. The room and the hotel were fantastic, I was in need of rest and got it. I was able to use the hotel's bicycle to get around the French Colony, which was enjoyable. Breakfast and dinner in the gardens was a delightful location, again a great sense of peace and calm. Hospitality and service were great. On a culinary note, the food was excellent, but remember, you are in India and even the best cooked beef fillet, is going to be tougher than you might expect in a western country. A pity that they did not have a liquor license.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gentle Annie Caravan Park; City: Whitfield Victoria; Review: I can understand that Gentle Annie might not be for everyone. The ablution block is old, but it is clean and there is always hot water. The sites aren't marked but Russel does a great job of getting everyone in. It is very dog friendly and it is located in great part of Victoria. We are booked in again for next Easter.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Byer of Maine Allagash AL Cot (Green); Brand: BYER OF MAINE; Review: Fairly light and compact. Pretty comfortable to sleep on...woke up without being sore. Other reviews are correct about the difficulty of setting this up. Attatching the legs requires a decent amount of force.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BARSKA Red Laser with 200 Lumen Flashlight; Brand: BARSKA; Review: Good price. Well thought out. Easy to remove from rails. Good quality. Will not fit on my compact pistol. Fits perfect on regular/full size. Easy laser adjustment. Red laser is not visible in sunlight. I needed a slight overcast. Perfect for indoors/home defense though. I have not put it on a weapon that has a lot of recoil, so I cannot speak on how well it holds up under stress. **Edit--The product doesn't always work. I have the switch set for the light/laser combo. Very often, only one will work--either the light or the laser, but not both. I have this mounted on a shot gun for home defense. I wouldn't want my life to depend on the light or laser working correctly. The light, when it works, is great. The item as a whole is not dependable. These are for use on weapons for situations where a person's safety depends on the product working correctly, so this product fails. Sadly, it's just a good novelty item--a substitute. I can see why people say that you should spend the extra money on a better product. I do like it. The pressure switch is a nice feature and seems to work, the product just isn't reliable.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Brownell Acraglas Gel [Misc.]; Brand: Brownell; Review: Mixes well, provides a lot of working time, has a very strong bond. I mainly use this to repair cracked stock parts on surplus rifles.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: UTG Model 4/AR15 4 & 5 Prong A1/A2 Dual Front Sight Tool; Brand: UTG; Review: As stated in other reviews, the tool is too fat for my front sight. I don't know why a company that makes products for AR rifles would sell a product such as this. The knurled section of the tool is very wide. Due to the thickness, the tool is too fat to fit between the front sight protector. I wanted to use this on a Bren 805 and will have to grind/file the knurled section in order for the tool to fit. In the future, I'll look for tools that do not have a raised knurled section--there is no need for this. The tool should have a uniform thickness throughout.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: Dangerous Lies; Author: Visit Amazon's Becca Fitzpatrick Page; Review: Becca Fitzpatrick can do no wrong when it comes to writing and telling a great story. I never know what I will expect when I crack open one of her books, even when she gives us sneak peaks and little blurbs from the book. I could not put down dangerous lies. There is so much character development from the main characters. Let's start with Estella who becomes Stella after entering the WITSEC program. She was a lost, broken girl with many trust issues who grows so much throughout this book. Carmina who is a hard edge ex cop who has a major chip on her shoulder comes a long way as well throughout the book. Then there is Chet who is the brooding handsome boy who looking for peace and hope within himself and others. I loved the relationship between Carmina and Stella. They definitely overcome their Barriers to build and good relationship. Then there Stella's and Chet's relationship. I loved all the bantering and love/hate relationship it starts out as then it builds into friendship then more.... Stella comes to realize that the people in this sleepy town whether they be a friend or foe like Trigger, she comes to realize people really care about her, and wants her to find a place in her crazy world. This book is about Forgiveness, friendship, love, understanding, kindness and finding what family is in different circumstances. Highly recommend this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Elementals 3: The Head of Medusa (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Michelle Madow Page; Review: I have really been enjoying reading The Elementals Series. Normally it doesn't take this long to read one of Madow's books but this was took longer due the fact that I was reading 3 other books. The Head of Medusa, was such an amazing, emotional, sometimes shocking and one crazy wild ride. The Journey that the characters all take is such a life changer for them. Will they live? Die? Trust and rely on each other after all this over with. I loved how much crazy they had to go through just to get the Head of Medusa. At one point you think that everything will be okay, then more crazy happens along with a lot of twists and turns... At one point Nicole actually tells her family about what she is and the journey she needs to take to basically save man kind from the creatures escaping from Kerberos. Nicole's parents weren't shocked as much as I thought they would be and they were willing to let her finish her journey with the others. The end definitely had some shock to it but at the same time I knew a lot of stuff was going to hit the fan and more.. The continuation of this story from start to finish has been so great so far! I can't wait to read "The Portal to Kerberos." I hope they can save Kate and Blake, and Stop Ethan from causing more havoc from Pouring down!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Farm Wisdom for City Folks: What We Missed by Growing Up in Town; Author: John Bytheway; Review: John Byetheway always has a great way of getting a point across, whether it be through funny stories, serious stories or a parable. I loved this book because he took such a simple concept as the law of the harvest and turned into a life changing way of looking at how we can better our lives and not be lazy. I know we all didn't grow up on farms but I know that we can apply the same lessons to our own individual lives and work just as hard and not be idle. There are so many great quotes in this book that I underlined that really can apply to my own life. I am always looking for ways to better my life and serve others and not be lazy about it. We all are driven to do better, work harder and make a change. I highly recommend this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Be your best self; Author: Visit Amazon's Thomas S Monson Page; Review: I am so glad that I stumbled upon this book on Deseret Book Shelf. I love President Monson and he is always giving us as latter day saints such incredible words of wisdom. In Be your Best Self President Monson gives us stories examples and scriptures to help us improve our lives as Latter Day Saints and Children of our loving Heavenly Father. I felt that as I read this book I took sometime with some deep reflection on my own life and how I can improve as a Latter Day Saint. Through out this book I saved a lot of quotes and took a lot of notes. I know that there are times in each our lives where we don't feel like we are not our best selves, but day by day I feel like we can all improve on certain areas of our lives whether it be spiritual, physical, or finding way to serve and help others in need. I loved how this book help me bring my life back to focus and helped me realize what matters most. I cherish the words of the Prophet, he loves us and wants us along with our loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ become our best selves. I highly recommend this book, to all those who want to be their best selves. "Leadership requires effort, hard work a do or die Philosophy." ~President Monson; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The One Minute Apology : A Powerful Way to Make Things Better (One Minute Manager); Author: Visit Amazon's Ken Blanchard Page; Review: How often do we just say or hear "I'm sorry" followed by excuses and fingerpointing...and nothing changes? If everyone read The One Minute Apology, useless, meaningless apologies would be a thing of the past. I found the story in the book just as compelling as the message-I wanted to know what happened next, and along the way there were valuable ideas about how to make apologies meaningful to both the giver and the receiver. A rare combination...a good story with a better message utterly lacking in the preachiness inherent in so many self-improvement books. Once the reader gets past the idea that they are flawless and faultless, they can genuinely help themselves and others grow in honesty, integrity, and humility.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gaydar: The Ultimate Insider Guide to the Gay Sixth Sense; Author: Visit Amazon's Donald F. Reuter Page; Review: Oh my gawd! I literally stained the pages with tears of hysterical laughter. I leave it out for people to see, and I've found that many males that swear they have no "traits" must hang their heads in admission that they love craft stores and movie musicals.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Born on a Rotten Day; Author: Visit Amazon's Hazel Dixon-Cooper Page; Review: This book is just too good. I find myself asking new people I meet what sign they are so that I can look them up and see what I'm getting myself into. Also, it's the best gift $10-or-under gift I've found in a long time. Great writing, great style, and the author really knows people. Fun, light read but you can really get a lot out of it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Across the Nightingale Floor, Episode 1: The Sword of the Warrior (Tales of the Otori); Author: Lian Hearn; Review: I love character driven books with interesting , well-developed people, both good and bad. This book more than fills that requirement. The main are exposed gradually...you really get a sense of what's in their mind, their struggles, and their points of view. They seem real...you can become emotionally involved with them, really care what happens to them. Even the secondary characters are more than one-dimensional drafts of good and bad. If you like to read about people, and mystery and magic are appealing too, try this. Also, amazing descriptions of setting...you really feel like you are there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Swagbelly: A Pornographer's Tale; Author: Visit Amazon's David Levien Page; Review: Ahhh, a protagonist we can love to hate. Elliot Grubman is a lech, a middle-aged loser of the time we snicker at and hope we never become...or date. His exploits are cringingly crass, and this unapologetic pig revels in his masculinity. Oh, he tries to rise beyond himself. but in the end, you can't help but wonder if someone this low can rise off his belly and onto two feet. Very funny, somewhat sad, and a peek into the life of everyman.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Present: The Gift That Makes You Happier and More Successful at Work and in Life, Today!; Author: Spencer Johnson M.D.; Review: The Present truly is that, a neat story that goes so much deeper than you'd think for 107 pages. While the format of a Young Person learning from an Older Person is familiar, this book presents it in a beautiful way. It is neither treacly nor patronizing, and anyone can find wisdom and comfort in it. Perhaps the best feature is that, like many of us, the student does not find a snap-you-fingers solution. He realistically must struggle with questions, self-doubt and confusion before finally finding The Present and being able to pass the gift to others. The first book I thought about when I read it was Shel Silverstein's classic The Giving Tree. The Present could well be another classic.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Final Verdict; Author: Visit Amazon's Sheldon Siegel Page; Review: Mike and Rosie are back in top form, defending a dying man against seemingly insurmountable odds. We get some back story on Mike and Rosie's relationship as well-this is the same man who's case, 10 years before, ruined their marriage. This case is personal as well as professional, bringing to the story a depth and introspection somewhat lacking in Siegel's previous wonderful titles The dialogue is as good as ever, with Rosie's voice of reason and Mike's good-natured cynicism bringing everyone and everything they encounter to life. If you've read their other books, you'll recognize some names-the mediagenic DA Nicole, her grumpy sidekick McNasty, veteran investigators Roosevelt and Banks, and the inimitable Nick "The Dick" Hanson, who well deserves his time in the spotlight. Throw in dirty business dealings, an adult movie theater, power hungry financiers, and some new faces, most notably a female PI that can hold her own against anyone, and you have a can't-put-it-down story. San Francisco, particularly its seamier side, is a character in itself. Don't pass up Siegel's latest offering....indeed, it is amazing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maid Marian: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Elsa Watson Page; Review: A friend who knows I like woman-centered books handed me this, and I couldn't put it down. Maid Marian is one of those women who decides that no one is going to run her life. She and her companion, a woman named Annie, fight the royal family and corruption of the time with the help of Robin Hood, and have the kinds of adventures that most men of the era probably never had. I really like Marian because she is defiant without being snotty, classy without too much reserve, and strong without being a mean, bullying woman. Good read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Burro Genius: A Memoir; Author: Visit Amazon's Victor Villasenor Page; Review: Victor Villasenor has written well before, but this is something completely new and special. It's his story, compelling, heartbreaking, and funny. You want to keep reading just to find out what happens to this kid, who is at once precocious, confused, and angry. Victor's voice rings through the pages. Even if you have never heard him in person, you will know his voice by the words he writes. And you'll know him, in a more personal way than you probably know your neighbors. The book is definitely psychologically and politically challenging. You can't help but wonder why his world is the way it is, and what you can do, years later, to change it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Confession; Author: Visit Amazon's Sheldon Siegel Page; Review: I love Sheldon Siegel's work, and The Confession is his best since Incriminating Evidence. His usual elements are there-sharp, funny, cynical dialogue, shady characters, the underbelly of San Francisco, impossible odds, arrogance and deceit, and of course Nick the Dick, who is one of the best minor characters in the courtroom mystery world. Dead-ends, 90 degree plot turns, and "gotchas" make this a compelling read, one you don't want to put down. You simply must know what happens next. His inclusion of the Catholic church and its machinations differs from others on the subject in his ability to show both the positive and negative of the ministry, his willingness to take carefully nuanced shots at the church leadership, and his portrayal of priests as real people. A great read on many levels.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kingdomality: An Ingenious New Way to Triumph in Management; Author: Sheldon Bowles; Review: Take a parable, merge it with the populace of a medevil kingdom, add some very savvy psychology and you have an above average book to help you understand yourself and deal with your co-workers. This one has a fun website associated with it. [...] Find out who you are, have your co-workers take it to find out who they are, and then take a look at the book. The quiz is uncannily accurate, and if nothing else, you'll bond with the people around you over this.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Loctite Ultra Gel Control Super Glue 4-Gram (1363589); Brand: Loctite; Review: This is the best superglue I've ever used. Has the consistency of a gel so it stays where you put it instead of dripping off the project onto your knee. It's as sticky as any other cheap superglue you'd buy. The difference with this product is that while those cheap-o super glues always seem to dry up after only one or two uses, the innovative design of this dispenser means you can use 100% of the glue in the bottle. It does not dry out before you've had a chance to use it. And that makes the cheap-o glues actually more expensive.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm PLA Filament 1kg / 2.2lb for 3D Printers, Black; Brand: Gizmo Dorks; Review: Works great. Prints at 200C with no problems on my MendelMax 3. I have to say it prints up fairly glossy. I've printed up to 220C with no issues. At the higher temps the finished product is stronger and you get better layer adhesion than at lower temps. I've printed it on the MendelMax 3, the MiniMax, with brass nozzles and with hardened steel. Prints like a champ. This PLA produces no noticeable fumes, and you can work in the same room with the printer without opening a window. Great for hot summer days when you might not want to be opening a window. Adhesion to heated glass bed is great, I use either a 50% Elmer's glue + water solution (for a very secure hold), or my favorite, purple Elmer's glue stick on heated glass bed, which for me works with either PLA or ABS equally well. I run about 70C (measured about 60C) on the heated bed. Nozzle anywhere from 190-220C. Print speeds up to 100mm/s, and nozzle diameter 0.4 to 0.6mm. The bigger nozzle diameter allows for faster printing and stronger interlayer bonds. This is a good quality filament. Buy with confidence.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm PLA Filament 1kg / 2.2lb for 3D Printers, Translucent Green; Brand: Gizmo Dorks; Review: Works great, really wide latitude on temp and sticks like crazy. Good performance like all the GizmoDorks filament. However, the product title should reflect that this is TRANSLUCENT color and not opaque. You can not tell by looking at the photo that this is translucent until you actually open the package. Prints at 200C with no problems on my MendelMax 3. I've printed up to 210C with no issues. At the higher temps the finished product is stronger and you get better layer adhesion than at lower temps.

Title: Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm PLA Filament 1kg / 2.2lb for 3D Printers, Translucent Blue; Brand: Gizmo Dorks; Review: OK first off it prints up fine like all GizmoDorks PLA. But this product is NOT as pictured. It is TRANSLUCENT blue, and looks nothing like the photo. You can not tell this is translucent until you open the package. Seller needs to ACCURATELY describe this product in the title. Prints at 200C with no problems on my MendelMax 3. I've printed up to 220C with no issues. At the higher temps the finished product is stronger and you get better layer adhesion than at lower temps.

Title: Gizmo Dorks 1.75mm PLA Filament 1kg / 2.2lb for 3D Printers, White; Brand: Gizmo Dorks; Review: Prints up good and looks very white. Maybe leans a bit toward the translucent side.

Title: Matter and Form MFS1V1 3D Scanner; Brand: Matter and Form; Review: Bought this scanner to scan items for my business. So far it has worked very well. I found that by using the Advanced scanning feature of the software it was possible to increase the scan quality. Using the combine feature of the software also helped build very robust point clouds that made for very usable STL files for 3D printing. Great product and great customer support in the form of videoconference product tutorials. Great little scanner for the price. Would buy again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Filabot 910175 Taulman 910 Alloy, 1.75" Filament Diameter, Natural; Brand: Filabot; Review: Works great. Easy to stick to print bed using 50% elmers glue mix. This is a somewhat flexible nylon filament that is the strongest material I have ever printed with. I have designed and printed gun parts with this and they are strong enough for use while hunting or 3-gun competition. Not a single failure. The product does release some sort of fumes during printing and you will want to open a window for sure. I get a headache and scratchy eyes. Perhaps I'm allergic? No worries if you just open a window and let in fresh air. The translucent color is easily painted over if you desire another color. I have used standard automotive primer and it sticks great. Krylon fusion works as well. You can not sand this or file this material easily after printing, so if you have some support material you may have difficulty removing it. An xacto knife works well to trim the excess. I have used this to design and print small leaf springs for use in attaching custom gun grips to a rifle. Have not had one fail yet. This stuff takes repeated flexure cycles without failure. Now if they could just supply this in black color I would buy a pallet of the stuff. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Ceramic Insulation 1" x 12" Piece Improves Performance of Your Hotend; Brand: Quintessential Universal Building Device, Inc.; Review: For years I have struggled with trying to position the fans on my 3D printer to where they would blow fiercely on the print but miss the nozzle. I've downloaded and tried every crazy looking vent funnel to try to achieve the same aim. I've tried low-flow fans, throttling back the flow on high flow fans. I've tried large diameter fans, and fans placed on the table next to the printer. All with unsatisfactory results. Then it hit me. Stop messing with the fans, and do something to insulate the hotend! First I tried making a metal cage to block the air from the fans. Then it occurred to me that there must be some sort of insulative material I could wrap around the hotend, so that the carriage-mounted fans could be operated at full speed and yet not affect the hotend temperature one whit. Quick search on Amazon and I found this product. I have to say it works most excellently. I have two 40mm double-height sunon brand fans. They put out prodigious quantities of CFM. One fan alone, running over 37% of full speed would cool a hotend from 200C down to a temperature below which plastic would flow. After wrapping my hotend with this material, I am able to run BOTH fans at 100%. Switching from 0% to 100% does result in a momentary drop of 1 degree C, which is quickly recovered back to full temp. I might add that I do not even have the entire hotend covered by this material, just the outward facing facets. I have left the top and bottom of the hotend uncovered. I would expect that covering these would give even better results, though the results I am getting now are more than satisfactory. I highly recommend this product if you are running a 3D printer with an E3D V6 hotend. I used strips of Kapton tape to cover the material and adhere it to the hotend. Please note that the image shown is not what you receive. The product is for a 12" strip of material, which is more than enough to cover several hotends, but it's nowhere near as much as is shown in the photo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: uxcell 901913-WYBCSX Dual Alligator Clip Banana Connector Multi Meter Test Lead; Brand: uxcell; Review: Good quality alligator clips are becoming harder and harder to find these days. I check my local mom and pop electronics surplus store and it's hit and miss whether they'll have anything decent in stock, but I can always count on Amazon sellers to come up with the goods. I have been using these for various purposes from charging 12V batteries to powering 24V fans to cool my 3D printer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Wellington Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: I got the room because it was part of a package with Expedia. It's all about location We had a corner room so two windows, very clean and no bugs. Beds were comfortable. Noise hardly ever. Request a hotspot for morning coffee at the front desk. No wifi but starbucks across the street has it for free. Eat at the food cart down the street for breakfast for fluffys to the right. I would stay again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Battle Rock Motel; City: Port Orford Oregon; Review: From the outside it doesn't look like much. We stayed in the room on the far right with two beds. Room has just been totally redone with a new looking bathroom and newly painted room .Very much a surprise. Very clean and new looking. Quirky sheets and tv placement.

Title: Camping Village Panoramico Fiesole; City: Fiesole Tuscany; Review: We wanted to save some money so we choose to stay here after reading other reviews. We stayed in a chalet. We managed to find it without the gps which is what you should do or you end up on teeny tiny roads with no clearance for your mirrors so tight. A bit damp inside and the heater doesn't really work. Don't wash your clothes because they will never dry. After 3 days they still were not dry. Good bus from town to center of Florence. If you are leaving before 7 park your car outside the barrier since you can't get it up even if you try. I would walk to fiesole to get bus and not try and park in free parking to hard to find. Wifi works in some chalets, Good for the money. I would stay again for 2 days and do the summer and not fall.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Amelindo Fiumicino Airport Residence; City: Fiumicino Province of Rome Lazio; Review: This is a great hotel that is clean, large and spacious. Its like a very modern ikea unit. You have a kitchen and fridge so you can save money on food. The drawback is that you HEAR everything. Dog barking, people moving chairs over your head and the people talking in the next room. It's like they were in the livingroom. You need to use earplugs for sure. Nice breakfast and convienent shuttle to the airport. You do need to reserve your shuttle a day out from the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Hotel du Mont Blanc; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: I needed a place overnight. Don't expect a nice hotel. Noisy elevator, clean but thin walls, uneven floor boards in room with staples sticking out. No coffee machine and no food allowed in the room. Very tiny.

Title: One Word that will Change Your Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Dan Britton Page; Review: Although I think this is a good idea and will work well in our busy confusingly lives, I was really put off by the constant and references to God and prayer. The book was also disappointingly thin and lacked substance. Quite frankly you can get the entire gyst of the book from the sample and don't have to waste money in buying it. It can be summarised in a one page blog, which is where it should have stayed.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Host; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephenie Meyer Page; Review: Not being a twilight fan or young adult (anymore) I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did. Interesting concept, much of which will be lost in the film version I guess. Well worth the read; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inferno; Author: Visit Amazon's Dan Brown Page; Review: This is really much more like an old fashioned Indiana Jones than his previous books, but the rich detail of Florence and Dante makes me want to pack my bags and go exploring the same route. He pussy-foots around the central theme of over-population in a way he didn't with his other books, which was disappointing. Still good, light, read; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Manage Your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus, and Sharpen Your Creative Mind (99U); Author: Visit Amazon's 99U Page; Review: There are definately a few useful hints and tips but the book is very short - which you don't pick up till you bought it.

Title: Breath of Africa; Author: J L Bwye; Review: As an ex-Kenyan who lived there around the time this book was set I loved it's honesty and authenticity.

Title: Vicious Circle; Author: Visit Amazon's Wilbur Smith Page; Review: I have been a fan of Wilbur Smith since I was a teenager, I don't know if it because I am getting older but the prose in the last few books has become very stilted and full of cliches. It's almost as if a (not very good) ghost writer has been given the gist of the story and gone ahead and written it in his name.

Title: Divergent; Author: Visit Amazon's Veronica Roth Page; Review: Fast paced, adventurous and an unusual them. There were times that I felt the action scenes were put in there for effect, making the book read more like a screenplay than a book. It was as if the author was thinking about the movie, not her readership. It made the book a bit two dimensional. it is one of those rare occasions where I think the movie is going to be better than the book. If you compare it to the Hunger Games for example - while they translated into successful movies, the books were superb and well worth reading more than once - and I am not even in the 'young adult' demographic.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The I.P.O.; Author: Visit Amazon's Dan Koontz Page; Review: Like others, when I bought this I thought it was Dean Koontz, but I read it anyway. The idea and concept was interesting and the book was easy to read, but not in the same league as the other Mr Koontz; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mr. Mercedes; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephen King Page; Review: Disappointing, this lacks the intrigue and twisted plots that I have come to expect from Mr King.

This book is almost an insider's cheat sheet, written by someone with a depth of experience, that will give the reader an almost unfair advantage up the corporate ladder.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Handmaid's Tale (Contemporary Classics); Author: Margaret Eleanor Atwood; Review: I think this book is a classic case of being written years before its time.

Title: The Fear Index; Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Harris Page; Review: My first Robert Harris book I read was Conclave and while this one could not have been more different I love it just as much. I have found my new favourite author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dark Matter; Author: Visit Amazon's Garfield Reeves-Stevens Page; Review: This is easily one of the most riveting and thought provoking books I have ever read. It explores parallel universes in a way that will leave you forever changed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: He Said/She Said: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Erin Kelly Page; Review: This book really draws you in. Just when you think you've worked it out, everything changes. You are left remembering never to take things at face value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Don't Wake Up: The most gripping first chapter you will ever read!; Author: Liz Lawler (author); Review: This book holds you from the very first chapter and is full of twists and turns. The characters are engaging and the medical and hospital background realistic. Light but thoroughly enjoyable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cloud; Author: Visit Amazon's Ray Hammond Page; Review: This isn't just another end of the world scifi novel it is mesmerising and has twists and turns that are quite unexpected. It delves into the possibilities of AI and machine learning gone bad. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sharp Objects; Author: gillian-flynn; Review: Well written and will keep you engaged from the first page to the last but it is not light. Most of the characters are dark and broken but not unbelievable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fever; Author: Visit Amazon's Deon Meyer Page; Review: This book is a terrific read from start to finish. I have not enjoyed a book this much in a very long time. It is a different take on a post apocalyptic tale with plenty of twists and turns, not all of them answered. A follow up in the pipeline perhaps?; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Or if you like a really good sized salad.. or popcorn or chips and stuff. They're really pretty and lovely and of good quality. The flowers I do not believe will EVER was off.

Title: Rhapsody 8-ounce Plastic Tumblers | set of 8 in 4 Assorted Colors; Brand: US Acrylic; Review: Keep in mind that even tho these glasses are cute.. The are VERY small. If you have small children they are fine. They would be fine, perfect even for a family of small children drinking juice or milk for breakfast or lunch BUT these glasses are NOT for adults. They aren't large enough for a decent drink. they'd be fine to leave sitting around the house ..bathrooms, living rooms.. for meds.. if you need to take a pain pill for instance.. keep one of these handy. Perfect for that BUT these are NOT tumblers for grown-ups. I have no children in my house so I was disappointed in the size.. but they are cute. Perfect if you paint..leave water in one and paint in the other or use them for pencils or something.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Flash Furniture Black Folding Card Table; Brand: Flash Furniture; Review: Don't pass this up. I paid about 38 bucks for it and no shipping since I have the Prime Amazon offers... Oh, I cannot say enough about how strong this table is and how perfect for just about anything you'd need it for. It doesn't have to be screwed together (the legs just pull out and lock) The top is butter soft BUT it is easily punctured or melted. This flash furniture is the way to go nowadays since we are always having to run from storms and disasters and things.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: For Rest Aparthotel; City: Bugibba Island of Malta; Review: For Rest Aparthotel are located in central Bugibba, about five minutes walk to the sea and the beach-walk where there are lots of pubs and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and helpful.The room was quite big with a small balcony. It contained a small kitchen with a big fridge and basic kitchen accessories, so we did our own cooking a lot. Unfortunately the toilette was leeking from day one and soaked the floor, would have been nice with a heads up or someting. +Price +Location +Big fridge -Leeking toilette -Slow Wi-fi -Air-condition not included in price; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Oxygen Residence; City: Warsaw Mazovia Province Central Poland; Review: This might be the best hotel I've stayed at. The room were exquisite. It had a fridge, microwave, dischwasher and a small stove to mention a few tings. All things were new. Unfortunately you were not allowed to smoke on the balcony. I can really recommend this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Neboder; City: Rijeka Primorje Gorski Kotar County; Review: This hotel is a very good hotel, bare in mind the price. The room was nice. The AC worked perfectly and the WiFi was OK. One funny thing was that the bathroom were the same size as the bedroom. We had a large balcony facing the sea were you could watch the sunset. The breakfast was superp and had a very large variety. If someone went to Rijeka, I would recommend this hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bellahoj Camping; City: Copenhagen Zealand; Review: We went with a car and a little tent. We paid 35€ for two nights (2 person's). The campsite has WC, showers, WiFi, and rents out bikes for 5€/24h. I think you're able to cook some basic food. There's plenty of space. Cheapest way to stay in Copenhagen.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pyramos Hotel; City: Paphos Paphos District; Review: We stayed for one week at the Pyramos. It's very nice and affordable. The room was fresh and the beds were comfortable. It had a pretty large balcony with some chair's and a table. The hotel was located at the coast of Paphos with maximum five minutes walk to everything. If we come back to Paphos, we would definitely check in here again. + Good WiFi + Location + Good AC - No fridge - Motion sensor for AC; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Helena; City: Rhodes Town Rhodes Dodecanese South Aegean; Review: Me and my girlfriend stayed for almost two weeks. The hotel has a pool and sunbeds. The breakfast was fine and had something for everyone. I like bacon and eggs and such. The room was good. There was a TV, fridge, air conditioning and a balcony with furniture. The batchroom was maybe a little small, but only if you were more than one person at the same time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ghostek Armadillo Shockproof Armor Case Compatible Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - White; Brand: Ghostek; Review: The case fits super well, and it feels premium to the touch. The stand hasn't failed me yet and it has been about a week now. The only complaint I have is that it looks like the paint is starting to chip a little bit, as well as where the stand connects into the phone, it looks like it is creating wear and tear on the pivot. See attached. The case feels super nice and the stand is very convenient. I recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Spigen Rugged Armor Galaxy S6 Edge Case with Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for Galaxy S6 Edge 2015; Brand: Spigen; Review: It feels very nice in the hand and it is easy to put on, however it is also easy to take off. I would give this case 5 stars however I feel it is ever so slightly large for the device. It probably has no effect in terms of safety but it doesn't feel too nice when you feel the case being a ever so slightly loose. I recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Galaxy S6 Edge Screen Protector, Skinomi MatteSkin Full Coverage Screen Protector for Galaxy S6 Edge Anti-Glare and Bubble-Free Shield; Brand: Skinomi; Review: First of all I will start with the Pros: - It feels great and smooth - It looks amazing, love the matte finish. - It fits almost perfectly, but as close as I would expect. - The bubbles occurring during installation went away after a day or two. - The customer support seems great, they send an email to ensure you are happy with the product. I really appreciate it. Cons: - There is a slight "noise effect" given by the matte screen. I am not sure if all of Skinomi's screens do this or just the MatteSkin in particular. If it didn't have this I would have given the product 5/5. My Stupidity: - I cleaned the screen multiple times and I placed the screen protector on and everything went on perfectly. After two days I noticed a stray cat hair under the screen and it is killing me. I will probably buy another Skinomi skin for my samsung s6 edge, contemplating getting the Matte Screen again or getting the clear, will need to decide. If you are looking for a nice feeling and guaranteed no bubble screen protector then I highly recommend this product. If you are too worried about the little "noise effect" then I recommend trying the clear screen protector as I am assuming it doesn't have this problem. I think I will deal with the image noise as the matte effect is so sexy. Great product.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F Unlocked Cellphone, 64 GB - International Version (White); Brand: Samsung; Review: Amazing phone. The phone seems to come from Thailand or Vietnam however it is still a genuine s6 edge. For me it was region locked which was a bit of a pain but I downloaded the "Psiphon" app so I could access the US/UK play store. The phone is super fast, and the display is beautiful. I highly recommend this phone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Spigen Neo Hybrid Galaxy S6 Edge Case with Flexible Inner Protection and Reinforced Hard Bumper Frame for Galaxy S6 Edge; Brand: Spigen; Review: Looks sexy, feels premium. It fits the phone well and I feel safe knowing my phone is protected. It adds weight to the device which is not a negative in my opinion. It makes it feel more solid. The only downside is that when you hold the phone for a while if you are laying in bed with your little finger supporting the bottom left of the screen (where the headphone plug in is) it feels like the case is a little sharp. It isn't that big of a problem though so I will still highly recommend this product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: amFilm Galaxy S6 Edge Screen Protector (Edge to Edge) HD Clear with Lifetime Replacement Warranty (2-Pack); Brand: amFilm; Review: I was very worried applying the product however I followed the video (which they provided the URL for) and it was easier than I expected. It keeps the phone as shiny as ever, as well as not distorting the image in any way. I also appreciate that they provided a squeegee to push out the bubbles, as sometimes if I use my debit card it can stretch the screen protector. The only complaint is sliding your finger (when using the swipe keyboard) doesn't feel as smooth, a little more friction than the screen itself. I think it is like this with all clear screen protectors though so I will keep the 5 star rating. I recommend the product, it also provides 2 screen protectors just in case you mess up when applying it. I recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Cell_Phones_and_Accessories |

Title: Relais Saint Jacques; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: The hotel had a great balcony view which was very nice the area was close to Luxemborg and Pantheon so the neighborhood had a nice historical vibe to it. The interior decor was mix of modern and classical. Robes and slippers were provided which is always a plus. our room also had a jacuzzi, I tried to use it but as soon as I turned it own, a chunk of dirt came out from one of the jets. :S Our hotel key card also kept having problems and though we only stayed for 2 nights we had to go back downstairs and asked them to reset it on both nights which wouldn't have been that bad if we weren't already so tired from our daily events.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: UNAHOTELS San Vitale Bologna; City: Bologna Province of Bologna Emilia Romagna; Review: Very clean hotel. Good service. Breakfast environment was wonderful. Modern style hotel is great for anyone coming for leisure or business.

Title: CDH Hotel Villa Ducale; City: Parma Province of Parma Emilia Romagna; Review: The room locations was a bit confusing, and they only provided one key for 2 people which was a little inconvenient. Room was clean. Overall had a restful stay. The room we stayed at had a very small standing shower stall, I think that would be the only negative thing I had about the room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Quarters on King; City: Charleston South Carolina; Review: We stayed at Quarters on King with group of 6 girls. The place was clean and interiors were modern with TV in each bedroom. I would say the suite was better suited for 4 people as the sofa bed was quite uncomfortable and sunk in the middle. But we were only there at night so it was okay. Loved that it was located in the Heart of downtown and close to many shops, boutiques and local eats. just 10 minutes walk from pineapple fountain, water front and city market. Note: The suite is located on 2nd floor with stairs so it's not wheel chair accessible.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yasmina Hotel Merzouga; City: Erg Chebbi Meknes Tafilalet Region; Review: Great hotel and even though it is in the middle of the desert it had fully air conditioned rooms, and the shower pressure was the best through out my two weeks in Morocco. The pool was also a great feature especially on the hot afternoons. The hotel also had a lovely restaurant that preformed live music for us after our meal.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Madrid; City: Chefchaouen Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: Right at the bottom of one of the Medina's entrances, Hotel Madrid is very cute boutique style hotel. They have lovely interior decorations that's different in every room. Great breakfast with lots of local selections. Close to medina and the old kasba walls. Great location to everywhere you would want to go in Chefchaouen.

Title: The Alchemist; Author: Paulo Coelho; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Tres palabras: NO LO LEAN! Podria escribir un parrafo de largo incierto y extenderme desvirtuando este libro que francamente me parece terriblemente malo, pero si leen los comentarios de todas las demas personas que lo leyeron (al menos en esta pagina)se daran cuenta que no es necesario que yo ponga mi granito de arena :P Pero en fin, juzguen ustedes, a mi simplemente me parece MALO, aburrido, simplista(de una manera muy poco alagadora por que segun creo la simplicidad en muchos casos es lo mas agradable, tal vez el termino correcto seria simplon), machista en cierta forma, ya sea a proposito o no, y con personajes mas planos que las hojas de papel en que esta impreso, que ademas te proveen de "dialogos" tediosos que obviamente pretendian ser 'filosoficamente profundos' pero que fallan miserablemente (paja mal narrada)Si por los menos los personajes fueran lo bastante redondeados como para disfrutar una conversacion entre ellos aun que no tuviera sentido... pero no! parece que nacieron ya crecidos y que por lo tanto no tienen una historia ni emociones (al menos ninguna creible) Si quieren una razon valida para darse de topes contra la pared, este libro es para ustedes! :D Si nunca supieron como decirle a alguien 'nunca me agradaste' regalenle una copia... Como dije NO voy a desvirtuar el libro :P (lo siento no pude evitar decir un poco... si, es un poco comparado con todo lo q se tiene q decir sobre el) Creo que ademas de Cohelo,solo hay otros dos autores que hasta ahora han sido un completo chasco para mi: Carlos Cuahuctemoc Sanchez >.Juro que no estaba de mal humor al escribir esto! jeje simplemente... leerlo me parecio una perdida de tiempo.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3); Author: J.K. Rowling; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Sinceramente mi favorito de la serie y agradezco que mi mama se haya equivocado el dia que le pedi que me comprara los libros y trajera este a casa en lugar del primero. Es francamente el primer libro del que me enamore, el estilo de la escritura, el lexico tan rico y variado que (si hasta ese momento no habias sido un gran fanatico de la lectura) te obliga a tener un diccionario a mano que luego es imposible soltar (ahi surgio mi amor por los diccionarios :P)Y que decir de los personajes tan bien definidos y creibles! que casi puedes imaginarte que existe alguien con esa personalidad en algun lugar de escocia o inglaterra. Suena ridiculo y cursi, pero casi tienen vida propia. Me sorprendio que aun siendo el tercer libro de la serie y el primero que yo leia, fuera tan sencilla su comprension o bien mi incorporacion al mundo 'potteril' si, es cierto que algunas veces te tienes que regresar para recordar quien era quien, pero no mas de dos o tres. Los personajes que se introducen en este volumen son, a mi parecer, los mas interesantes de la serie (aparte de Fred y George) Remus J. Lupin y Sirius Black. Realmente hacen que te conectes y sientas empatia por ellos, sus caracteristicas y su vida (aun que, como en el caso de sirius habla y aparece realmente poco, llegas a tener la sensacion de 'entender' q fue lo q le paso y la clase de persona que es). Una cosa curiosa que me sucedio al leerlo despues de los 2 primeros, es que simplemente el ambiente cambia, no puedo describir que es... una aura de obscuridad?? el punto es: se 'siente' obscuro aun que no lo sea, te da (a mi) la sensacion de estar en un londres frio lleno de neblina por la noche, pocos libros realmente me transportan a un estado mental como este. Como dije me alegra tanto que este haya sido el primero de la serie que lei, por que los dos iniciales, sinceramente... son buenos, pero no hay punto de comparacion con el tercero o los restantes (a excepcion del sexto que francamente no me agrado...) Si quieren leer harry potter recomendaria que inciaran como yo, con el prisionero de azkaban, o corren el riesgo de pensar que toda la serie es igual de "aburrida" como los dos primeros.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Canterville Ghost; Author: Oscar Wilde; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Este libro es genial! a diferencia de muchos clasicos,su lenguaje no es rebuscado al punto del cansancio y su humor realmente me hace reir, ademas los personajes son tan ingenua o despreocupadamente divertidos que simplemente tienes que quererlos. He visto adaptaciones cinemtograficas pero definitivamente no le hacen justicia. ---------------------------- hilarious!! I had so much fun reading and re-reading it it's just great!

Title: The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia, #5); Author: C.S. Lewis; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: otra de mis decepciones... lo unico que pude pensar es que hay una muy buena razon para que este libro no haya llegado a la pantalla grande. Aburrido hasta el cansancio, requirio mucha fuerza de voluntad el terminar de leerlo, a pesar de lo corto que es... baste decir que a menos de la mitad ya estaba deseando no haberlo empezado y que gracias a ello aun ni siquiera le quito el celofan al resto de la saga...Tal vez un dia les de otra oportunidad, quien sabe, si llego a estar tan aburrida. El problema creo yo es que este REALMENTE es un libro para ninos, no es como HP o LOTR que estan clasificados como tales cuando (sobre todo en el caso de LOTR) la trama es bastante solida y bien desarrollada. Entonces, no es que el libro sea malo, simplemente, es para ninos....o asi me parecio.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Juventud En Éxtasis; Author: Carlos Cuauhtemoc Sanchez; Genres: young-adult, comics, graphic, non-fiction, fiction; Review: El horror! esto ni siquiera deberia llamarse libro. El 'autor' confunde franqueza de terminos y apertura mental con alguna clase de bizarra satisfaccion por todo lo que sea sexual y lo combina con una trama por demas estupida... caray pocos libros son peores. Que franca perdida de tiempo y dinero y que decepcion pues por aquellos dias, en los que tuve el infortunio de toparme con este epitome de lo prosaico, todo mundo creia que este hombre era un verdadero genio y su 'libro' una obra maestra. Ojala no vuelva a escribir un libro (aparte de los que ya vieron la luz...)o, sea entonces que yo nunca me tope con ellos. Es uno de esos libros que son tan decepcionantemente malos que enoja!

Title: El Alquimista; Author: Jorge Angel Livraga Rizzi; Genres: romance; Review: excelente libro. Infinitamente mejor que su homonimo de cohelo, este libro esta verdaderamente pensado y dicho sea de paso tambien te invita a hacer lo mismo. A pesar de tener un lexico poco comun no lo utiliza de manera redundante (Un diccionario resulta util) y por lo tanto no es aburrido. Desafortunadamente lo lei hace tiempo y no lo recuerdo exactamente pues perdi mi copia y es dificl de encontrar. Pero puedo asegurar que es uno de los libros mas agradables que he leido. Por otro lado siendo atea y este una franca critica a las instituciones religiosas como tales, tal vez no sea recomendado para todo el mundo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Little Prince; Author: Antoine de Saint-Exupery; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Soy incapaz de expresar la asombrosa simplicidad de esta historia, y aun asi (o quizas debido a ello) la belleza de la verdad que encierra en sus escazas 96 paginas. Lo unico que puedo decir es que verdaderamente hace que mi corazon y mi alma se llenen de alegria y euforia, por cursi que eso pueda sonar. Podria decir que es mi 'libro' favorito. Ademas de que la dedicatoria es tambien de las mas bellas que he leido. ------------------------------------ I am unable to express the astonishing simplicity of this tale, and yet (or perhaps because of it)the beauty of the truth it holds. I can only say it truly truly makes my heart and soul happy (as corny as it might sound).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead; Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Lo lei cuando pasaba yo por una fase de franco sarcasmo mal-lechoso hacia la vida... me cayo como anillo al dedo. Su humor negro,sarcastico, me cautivo... aun que tal vez fue solo que me senti identificada... me rei y, por lo tanto, me parece un librazo... aun que muchos critiquen a este hombre, para mi es un genio :P; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1); Author: Suzanne Collins; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Honestamente, y sin que me preocupe mucho lo que el resto del mundo pueda pensar al respecto, me fascino, por cuestiones de trabajo, ya tenia un tiempo sin poder leer un libro que no fuera obligado, no se si se debe a este hecho, o simplemente la historia, por si misma es atrapante, de cuaquier forma, hacia rato que no me enganchaban desde la primer pagina de tal modo. Al leerlo experimente esa sensacion que tan pocos libros han logrado, como si comiera por los ojos, y literalmente siento algo que me recorre desde elos asta la punta de los dedos, llenandome, nutriendome. Lo ame, lastima que no pueda decir lo mismo palabra por palabra de su secuela, pero bueno, habra que ver, quizas estoy juzgando mal, pues aun no lo he terminado, aun que creo que dificilmente superara al primero.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: MacDonald Bath Spa Hotel; City: Bath Somerset England; Review: Luxurious hotel which provided an excellent base for our visit to Bath. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly which most certainly adds to the atmosphere in the hotel. The food was delicious and well presented. The Spa is a real haven for relaxation and offers a good variety of facilities. We will most certainly return!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel The Cliff Bay; City: Funchal Madeira Madeira Islands; Review: This was our fourth visit and it most certainly did not disappoint. The hotel is superb in every aspect.

Title: The Seawood Boutique Hotel; City: Lynton Exmoor National Park England; Review: Stayed here for 4 nights in May. The hotel is in a beautiful location in the cliffs at Lynton with wonderful views over Lynmouth and beyond. The welcome from Russ and Kerinda was very encouraging and nothing disappointed - the room, the decor, the food (breakfast and dinner), ambience were all excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maids Head Hotel; City: Norwich Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: A hotel full of history. We stayed here for 2 nights and had a very enjoyable time. The welcome we received on arrival was very encouraging as it was warm and friendly. The room was very comfortable and the food in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner was good. Perfect location to explore the lovely city. We will return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Macdonald Randolph Hotel; City: Oxford Oxfordshire England; Review: Perfect for a weekend break. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Had pre booked parking and this was done with complete ease. Room was very comfortable and well appointed. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and well deserving of 3 rosettes. I had mentioned on booking it was my husband's birthday and the chocolates, on a beautifully chocolate decorated plate, served with our coffee was a really nice touch. Breakfast was also excellent as were the cocktails in the famous Morse Bar! The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring Oxford. We will definitely return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Don Paco; City: Seville Province of Seville Andalucia; Review: This hotel is well situated for exploring the city of Seville. Lovely rooftop bar with perfect views of the city at night. Didn't use the restaurant but lots of nice places to eat nearby. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful. Would recommend as a city hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel The Cliff Bay; City: Funchal Madeira Madeira Islands; Review: We have just returned from our 7th visit to this hotel and wow it just gets better! The moment we arrived we felt special. We were given a really warm welcome and shown to our room which was lovely. We usually opt for an upper floor room. The view of the ocean is so beautiful we just never tired of sitting on the balcony looking out. The food was superb throughout. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and dinners in Il GalloD'oro and lunch in the Blue Lagoon. The service from every member of staff is first class and the management should be very proud of this. Thank you all. We can't wait for our next visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MacDonald Bath Spa Hotel; City: Bath Somerset England; Review: This was a return visit and we were slightly worried after reading some recent reviews. We needn't have worried we had a wonderful stay. Nice welcome on arrival and our room was very nice and comfortable (imperial suites). We made good use of the spa and thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor hydrotherapy pool. We had dinner in the hotel on both nights of our stay. The food was delicious and well presented as was the breakfast. The hotel was very busy but the service was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PortoBay Falesia; City: Albufeira Faro District Algarve; Review: We stayed in this hotel for a week recently. We have also stayed in Porto Bay hotels in Madeira and Lisbon. We had a lovely stay and were so impressed by the staff. Every member of staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy. We found our sea view room comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was plentiful and Il Basilico restaurant offered a good menu as did the Falesia Bar for lunch. Good activities programme is offered and doing yoga in the morning on the cliff top was a joy. We will definitely return!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PortoBay Falesia; City: Albufeira Faro District Algarve; Review: This was our second visit to this hotel and we weren't disappointed. Received a lovely welcome from the reception staff and all the staff throughout our stay were more than pleasant. We had a sea view room which was very clean and comfortable. There was also a balcony which was very nice to sit on at any time. We stayed on bed and breakfast and the breakfast was plentiful to say the least. There is a good entertainment programme and doing yoga most mornings was lovely. We will return. Thank you; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: GE 72887 Superadio III Portable AM/FM Radio (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: RCA; Review: A friend of mine had this radio for listening to sports. We live in a small town and have trouble receiving AM stations from the city on normal radios. With the Superadio, there's no problem. The tuner is sensitive and easy to use, the speaker sounds good, and the dials are tough. I think this radio is a perfect part of anyone's emergency kit. You'd be able to tune in stations from far away in the event of a power outage in your area. So far I've used mostly the batteries for power and they're lasting nicely (the product instructions say they'll last for 460 hours of on time). Do yourself a favor and buy this radio, it's a fun toy and a useful tool.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Olympus Camedia D-380 2MP Digital Camera; Brand: Olympus; Review: We had the old D-360L at 1.3 megapixel and it broke after about two years. At first we were upset and thought that it should have lasted longer. Then we realized we had 4,000 pictures from it. We were thus forced to by a new digital camera. Looking back we're glad the other one broke! The clarity for the price of the D-380 is excellent. Two other family members have Olympus digitals in the $ range with more features, but we're glad to have this one. The pictures it takes are crisp and the camera is very easy to use. This camera has been great so far for capturing our growing baby.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bose Companion 2 Series II Multimedia Speaker System; Brand: Bose; Review: You may think spending this much on PC speakers with no subwoofer is a bit steep, but when you hear these you will be glad you spent the extra money. Personally, I am a professional and listen to music at work as much as possible and I wanted to upgrade to attain the best sound possible without a mess of speakers everywhere. Initially I put these on top of the desk, but the sound was so good that I found it too distracting to concentrate on my work. So I put them under the desk where my old set had been. The sound is still great. The best thing about Bose is the clarity and bass response. I don't know how they packed it into this small set, but they did. Literally I can shake the desk if I want to. But the clarity and enjoyment at low volume is what I am most happy about.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cobra MicroTalk Li 4900-2 Wx VP 18-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios; Brand: Cobra; Review: I bought these radios for a cruise to keep in touch with my wife, they worked great. Before we left I tested them by having my son take them on a trip to the other side of town. We were each indoors and could still talk from about a mile apart. On the cruise ship, they always worked even when we were 9 decks and the length of the ship apart (and inside). My only grip would be, I would like to see the set come with two chargers so that if you wanted to permanently keep the radios apart you could. Otherwise, I don't think you can go wrong with these. They have many features, most of which you probably won't even need. The buttons are precise and well organized. The unit looks and feels like a quality item.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black); Brand: Polk Audio; Review: I bought one of these 5 years ago and just added another. This is the best sounding sub-woofer I've ever heard. Now that I have two, it's so immense and enjoyable to listen to that I'm having a hard time going to work in the morning. Thank you Polk Audio for this wonderful sub.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: The Keg Steakhouse + Bar; City: Toronto, ON; Review: Great financial district location with large bar area. Ambiance is what you would expect from the Keg.
Went with family after going to see a game.
Steak was ordered medium rare and it came blue rare. Sent it back to be re-fired and it came back medium. Found a couple random pieces of vegetables (mushrooms) in the garlic mashed that didn't belong which we joked may have come from them recycling them from a previous diner's dinner...let's hope not.
Service was lukewarm but efficient. The restaurant was at about 75% capacity. We had a reservation and were seated 25 minutes late. Since there are a few other Keg locations in walking distance (Esplanade and King West) we will skip this location in the future.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Cynthia's Paradise; City: Newmarket, ON; Review: Cynthia's Paradise was really good a couple years ago and then started going way downhill. This was reflected in the reviews at that time and I am so happy that they rebounded back. They are just fantastic now...even better than a couple years ago!
Service is always quick and food is great. The quality has improved by leaps and bounds...especially the sushi. Not too much rice on the rolls and fish is fresh and tasty. Huge variety of Asian food available that is ordered on an iPad.
The atmosphere is very fun. It's upbeat and colourful and there's always someone with a birthday so you'll often hear their version of Happy Birthday (cha cha cha). Great AYCE place to bring a family with big appetites.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Kelseys; City: Aurora, ON; Review: Been here twice and the service was just lousy in both the bar area and dining room. When waiting to be seated in the dining room, we asked if we could sit in the bar area to wait since all the booths there were empty. The hostess told us "no, you'll need to wait at the door". After 5 minutes of milking about the door, we went to sit at a booth in the bar area anyways and were immediately approached by a waitress who offered to take out order. We then watched the hostess continue to tell a growing crowd of people to wait at the door as the bar area sat empty.
Drinks took 20 minutes and the food took 45 minutes from the time it was ordered.
The food was mediocre.
Would come back just for drink specials at the bar and patio. Won't return for food.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Jarrettown Hotel Italian Restaurant; City: Dresher, PA; Review: Very interesting experience. Server jen was great. Food was not good. In any way . Presentation was disgusting. Meat was grey. Shrimp were old and or the oil was old. Not sure. . The food made no mention of sauces.. but boy did they have them.And ugh.. An amazing oportunity exists there. But do something w the food.. please. Menu is good. Food sucks. Atmosphere is quaint for a large place. And the outside is nice. Having said that..ive been in the biz for 20 something years. Their concepts is not defned. Italian? Yeah? No!! Menu is all over the place. 2 stars because of heather and jen.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Jasper's Backyard; City: Conshohocken, PA; Review: I have been in the industry for over 20 years before i chose to do something different. And read this... yes its new. Yes people will be overly critical. Yes there will be start up concerns.they will be corrected. And constructive feed back is always appreciated. And warrented. (Momma said.. if you have nothing nice to say.. dont say it.all) constructive feedback. feedback!!!! Have you ever waited for a restaurant to open so badly, expecting everything to at least have a settling period but you dont mind? Where you walk in and say to urself.. if this place looks this good and beautiful and designed so well ...there is going to be something wrong? There has to be.. Where servers are learning, hostess station is still learning seating charts and that the hostesses understand that the chart is always evolving NOT concrete,set in stone? Where u look at the menu and say..."thats exactly what i want" i wonder because its so new if its going to taste great? WELLLLL WONDER NO MORE AND GO!!!! ITS EXCEPTIONAL... SERVICE,SPECTACULAR.! FOOD EXACTLY WHAT YOU HOPED IT WOULD BE and BETTER.. AND EVEN BETTER. and even better... where the layout and functuonality is perfect..and by far the best restaurant in all of conshohocken.

Title: Marco's Pizzeria; City: Ambler, PA; Review: Quick review. Havent eatn there yet. No reason to. Put a menu on the windows. Your staff cant explain much. And if you would like to differenciate urself from the other 30 pizza places in the 5 mile radius.... take a lesson from people in the biz. Unless you just need a tax write off. Advertise,read your yelp and be more creative. Check your website.. not so good. 2 stars because you are a start up business and it takes time to develop and train employees.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hymie's; City: Merion Station, PA; Review: Great food. Need airconditioning. Need the bus station in the middle of rest. Servers seem to get lost. Great food. Selling fish in summer.need airconditioning. Great food. My server.. excellent. Great food.. the manners of the rest of staff. Oblivious,and rude.. great food.if you dont care about the heat on a hot summer day..(summer only). And getting run over by a rude server that doesnt know the words"excuse me".. means.

Title: Corkscrew Inn; City: Vancouver British Columbia; Review: My wife and I snickered at the name as we booked a room at the Corkscrew Inn for a night in Vancouver on our way up to Whistler. When we arrived, however, we were completely charmed by the gorgeously restored house, the convenient location and the clean and well appointed room. The attention to detail was impressive and the obsession with corkscrews was actually fascinating as the house is like a mini museum devoted to the history of the technology. Some displays featured antique corkscrews that looked more like torture devices. The common areas were congenial and the room was a real value. The complimentary corkscrew will serve as a very useful reminder of our pleasant stay! PS The bedroom "fireplace" on the website should be in quotes -- it's a glorified space heater.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brass Lantern Inn; City: Stowe Vermont; Review: George and Mary Anne's good-natured hospitality make us feel like family at this charming bed and breakfast and keep us coming back every winter. The breakfasts live up to their well deserved reputation!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Green Mountain Inn; City: Stowe Vermont; Review: Some serious pros and cons about this place. Pros: Staff was incredibly friendly and were mostly very helpful. They arranged to change our room without any fuss a the street noise was loud on the main street but neglected to move all our belongings. The whip is a decent restaurant conveniently located. The rooms are very clean and fairly nicely appointed. Cons: The biggest problem was that I injured my foot pretty badly in the changing room by the swimming pool as I slipped on the wet floor. They had me fill out an accident report and supplied bandaids and antibiotic cream and aspirin. The staff was quite concerned and went out of their way to be helpful but I felt that their offer to buy us a drink or dessert at the whip fell short. I hope that, if they haven't already, I hope that they have put some non slip mats in the changing room. My foot continues to give me pain months later but it would have been a lot worse if it had been some sort of head injury! A couple other issues: They only supply spa robes to guests in luxury rooms. Seems like an odd policy if they let everyone in the pool/sauna/hot tub. Ski storage area is a long way away from the main hotel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Sun Ski Inn and Suites; City: Stowe Vermont; Review: My wife and a friend and I spent a weekend at Stowe and we stayed at the Sun and Ski. We booked the hotel through Travelocity and it seemed fairly reasonable in price. On the plus side: • The room was very clean and fairly large. • The bed was comfortable enough though pillows were small and too firm. • It was pretty quiet even though our room was close to the office and parkinglot. • The hotel is set back from the road and it is on Mtn Road so it is a short drive to the slopes. On the negatives: • The room was somewhat charmless and had a musty chlorine smell. • Breakfast was nothing to write home about • Fox News is abhorrent as it is but it is really the last thing I want to see when I am eating my kibble from the General Mills cereal station at breakfast. • Proprietor overcharged myself and my friend as he tallied up our bills. It's likely that it was incompetence but it was surprising that he messed up both our bills -- my friend's by a significant amount. • What the room didn't need: a midsize safe for my valuables. • What the room did need: a corkscrew.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Middlebury Inn; City: Middlebury Vermont; Review: I spent a few days at the hotel around Christmas time and found it to be a nice hotel that manages to retain it's vintage feel without sacrificing on comfort. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Only complaints would be that the room got somewhat cold at night. The in-the-window air conditioner/heating unit's operating instructions were a little inscrutable in the middle of the night and provided a fair amount of white noise -- which isn't a bad thing, necessarily. Breakfast buffet was pretty good but you might want to investigate the local offerings for a more personal touch (and stronger coffee).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Timberholm Inn; City: Stowe Vermont; Review: The Timberholm is a good value and nice place to stay. The proprietors are really friendly and helpful. The decor is rustic and homey with a common area that has a nice view and an impressive fireplace. The breakfasts are decent and a good prelude to a day of skiing and lest you feel lonesome, Sophie, a golden retriever with a sweet disposition, is there to keep you company in exchange for whatever scraps end up on the floor. My only minor complaints are that the walls are a little thin, so you hear your neighbors, and the rooms could use a little sprucing up. None the less, I look forward to staying there again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology (P.S.); Author: Visit Amazon's Eric Brende Page; Review: When I saw this book, I bought it immediately. The premise is excellent - take an MIT grad student and put him among the Amish/Mennonites to evaluate how much technology we really need to live a full life. Unfortunately, the author is quite bias. In the first chapter we learn that he is a liberal arts student writing an anti-technology thesis. What a great book this would have been had he been a pro-technology engineering student!! The author settles into life with his hard-working wife at his side. He's helped at every turn by the community he's in. His remarks about how easy life are pretty ironic since he is making his living selling cash crops (pumpkins and molasses) at a road-side stand where "city-folk" are buying his wares. Where would he be if this was a truly rural community cut off from city/suburban interaction? My other complaint about this book is that the author really didn't do any sort of assessment of the toil of women and children in this society. Though he acknowledges women work very long hours in comparison to men - I have to question how "easy" this life is for those that are not male. He rather arrogantly dismisses this as he equates the Amish religion to everyone being feminine in nature. Really quite illogical and mystifying. Finally, if he'd been an engineer then he wouldn't have left for the reason he stated. Biodiesel in 4x4 ATV -- wouldn't that be almost like a horse?? But then - I wasn't convinced that was the real reason they decided to leave. While there are definitely some very valid points in the book, the author's opinions and prejudices overshadow what could have been an excellent field experiment.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services; Author: Visit Amazon's Brian Knight Page; Review: I agree with the other 2 and 3 star ratings. I tried to do a pivot using this book and got absolutely no where. I find the book layout confusing and the step by steps SKIP some steps which is more than a little annoying.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Unleashed; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Noel Page; Review: I bought this book as it is a complete overview of every aspect of a Sharepoint 2007 implementation than any other book I have. It covers best practices for everything from what kind of site template to use to what are the best security methods for your SQL database. Very thorough and the best book on Sharepoint 2007 out there. It is in depth enough to get the job done but not so deep that there isn't room for the entire project plan of a Sharepoint implementation. If you are like me and the ONLY resource in your company for installing, implementing, administering and rolling out Sharepoint, this is the book for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen; Author: Visit Amazon's Christopher McDougall Page; Review: This book was tough to read. Like many of this genre, it treats chapters like cheesie made for TV movies. You are reading about a point in time and then one of the characters says something...cut away to past sequence. It's really annoying if you enjoy your books to be time linear. I've noticed this "style" in other books and I just want to say STOP THAT. Obviously the author did not interact with the "hidden tribe" very much because there is 1) very little information about them other than brief encounters and glorifying their way of living. 2) no photos. Even the cover is misleading. He states that the Indians wear mid thigh length skirts. The guy on the cover is clearly wearing shorts. I don't know...this book felt fictionalized to make up for lack of content.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The 4-Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, and Living the Good Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Timothy Ferriss Page; Review: I'm a Timothy Ferriss fan -- so it pains me to give this two stars. I liked the random segways into various topics - which are always interesting. But what bothered me is that not a lot of cooking skills were imparted. The recipes he choose to feature were strange dishes that I would never eat, much less cook. Like not even one recipe was useful! It was a good try, Tim.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Came across the Americinn and was a little hesitant because it was not a "brand" name. Wow, was my perception changed!! Beautiful, clean hotel. Wonderful, helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again. Great value. Only minor criticism was the breakfast buffet was sparse and looked microwaved.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Cottontree Inn; City: Rawlins Wyoming; Review: We stayed at 3 different Best Westerns during our vacation and this location took the cake! Clean, beautifully decorated, comfy beds, and wonderful staff. The gentleman attending to the breakfast buffet was very attentive and a great, friendly start to the morning!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Empire Towers; City: Sioux Falls South Dakota; Review: Enjoyed our stay. Beds were a little less comfortable than other Best Westerns. Looked like it had recently been remodeled. Best feature was the elevator. The other BW we stayed at did not have an elevator. Kids enjoyed the pool. We would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Dwight; City: Dwight Illinois; Review: Great little place to stay. Clean, updated. Small town hotel with an up to date feel. Rooms were clean, which is a huge deal for me. Plenty of room for all of us to get ready for our event. Recommend for overnights stays while traveling. Restaurants near by.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Morris Illinois; Review: Easy to get to. Comfortable and roomy. Has a bar and restaurant. Other places to eat near by. The beds and linens make it worth the stay. Comforter is like sleeping under a cloud. Pillows are fluffy and very cozy. I want my bed at home to feel like this!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Premier Inn Isle Of Wight Newport Hotel; City: Newport Isle of Wight England; Review: Stayed here for 1 night. Family of 4 had a large(ish) room which was quite roomy with our family of 4, plus all our luggage. The room couldn't be faulted - the bathroom, beds, and room in general was very clean & maintained to premier Travel Inn's normal quality standards. Plenty of parking. The restauant next door was a Brewers Fayre & was also up to their excellent standards.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Kensington Earl s Court Hotel; City: London England; Review: Stayed at Kenso Premier Travel Inn for 5 nights in July 07. Family of 4 (kids 9 and 11) squeezed into a standard room, but it was still spacious enough to move around the kids beds (one was a trundle bed normally kept under the double bed, the other was the sofa) and our 3 large luggage bags. Plus 4 or 5 small bags. After reading reviews on other London hotels it seemed we would be completely squashed in, but not here, so although not huge, us 4 were reasonably comfortable. Bathroom whilst really clean was a bit tired looking & could've had a small renovation done, but overall pretty good and also big enough to move about in. The restaurant downstairs was excellent. Not great choice of meals, but sufficient for most palates & the buffet breakfast was superb. The wait-staff lacked a bit of English so we had some fun with our Aussie lingo. Really easy to find - a short 2 or 3 minute walk up from Earls Court underground station. And an easy 30 min walk to Kensington Palace. Overall - fantastic.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Graham Arms Hotel; City: Longtown Carlisle Cumbria England; Review: Booked based on positive reviews here, we must've been in a different hotel. The Graham Arms is a smelly pub and room was the same. Despite the new smoking ban, the room stunk of stale smoke and certainly had not been renovated in the past 20 years. Old beds, old matresses, carpet in the bathroom (!) which was tiny, old wallpaper, just genrally old, tired and depressing. We asked for another room, but none other were suitable for my family of 4. The portable bed we had was broken making it somewhat uncomfortable. The room was right above the main road which incidentally is not in Carlisle but in Longtown, about 7 mile north. As it was warm, we wanted the window open during the night but the traffic noise made it impossible in fact it drowned out the TV. So the window was closed but it wasn't dbl glazed so was just as noisy open and closed. As we were only here one night, we vowed to get up early and split as quickly as possible. For 75 pounds, we were ripped off. Saw a Premier Travel Inn down the road towards Carlisle a few miles. Go there for 60 pounds. One positive thing - the towels were nice and fluffy, but then so they are in nearly every hotel. No complaints about their breakfast either - standard fare, nothing special but quite adequate.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Olive Branch Guest House; City: Broadway Cotswolds England; Review: This is an exquisitely beautiful town and same can be said for The Olive Branch. Pam and David are very warm and friendly with time to spend for a chat & ever-ready with advice. We stayed in a room on top (lugging the bags was a chore) for 4 and although small, was wonderfully decorated, clean and welcoming. The days were warm and with no aircon, we had the windows open all night which allowed a breeze to flow though to relieve the stuffiness. Because its such a quiet town there was hardly any traffic noise. A great garden out back with flowers in full bloom made relaxing there a pleasant time and with Zulu the black labrador for entertainment it was great for the kids. One minor problem, there seemed to be only one power point in the whole room with 3 appliances already in it. I needed to unplug the TV to use a plug. This place gets absolute top marks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Old Sydney; City: Sydney New South Wales; Review: Poor old Holiday Inn, The Rocks. Trying to wring the last vestiges of it's former glory as a really nice 5 star hotel, alas it's too far gone. Our room (and I am assuming all others) was OK but just too dated to be anything other than average. Cabinetry was probably 25 to 30 years old, same as the bathroom. Clean sure, but paying $320 (cheapest I could find on any booking site) for this was just waaay over the top. And then they tried to charge an extra $45 for parking. So $365 for a nights stay in this nice but tired hotel was far too excessive. Cheaper rooms at 5 star hotels can be had elsewhere in the CBD. What this joint has going for it is it's fantastic location. For that, it is almost worth the price. I also had the breakfast & what I often like about laid on brekkies are nice pastries such as croissants. Well, once again this was a disappointment. Leathery, supermarket croissants just won't cut it in a 4 or 5 star hotel. Otherwise, yummy scrambled eggs, and a self-juicer which was great. Overall, adequate. Just.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Gallery Apartments; City: Warrnambool Victoria; Review: Wonderful, luxuriously appointed 1br townhouse. Easily the best place we stayed during a Victorian holiday (the state not era). A few small things let it down. 1. Was getting cool whilst watching telly so turned on the air con. Fine until I realised that I wasn't warming up. Checked the remote - all the icons were correct for warming. Put my hand up to the vent, blowing cool air! Better get that fixed. 2. After a few days travel it was awesome to see a washer and drier. So popped on a load and begun my hunt for detergent. Looked and looked to no avail. 3. The bed is the softest, most luxurious I've ever encountered anywhere. The pillows like resting your head on a marshmallow. Great until it comes to actually sleeping. Ones head rests in between these great mounds of fluffiness with the potential to suffocate in downiness. Highly impractical. The doona is fantastic - if you're camping in the snow. It must be rated to about 1,000 blankets so despite the excellent mattress sleeping is nigh impossible under such heat. After a few hours tossing, I found a blanket. 1. Kicked off the doona and finally got some shuteye, until the wee hours when it gets pretty cold. So swapped for that snow zone doona. And immediately sweltered again. Despite the nicest bed in all my travels possibly the worst nights sleep. 4. No shower cap. For such a high standard one would at least expect the normal bathroom thingos ones usually gets. In summary a luxurious, magnificent stay at Warrnambool let down by attention to detail.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Wyndham Hotel Melbourne; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: Wow - from check-in to entering the room for the first time it was just WOW! Full kitchen, luxuriously appointed, quiet, comfy bed. Good location - an easy walk up William St from Flinders St or Southern Cross Station right in the legal centre of Melbourne. From memory I think I paid $120 for 1 night, 2 br apartment, incredible value! Couldn't fault this place, maybe the bathroom could be stocked with a shower cap but that's a pretty petty whine and I am sure if you asked they'd provide.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Hotel Melbourne Southbank; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: Stayed for a quick few days in Melb. Firstly the location is awesome as other reviewers have said, but the room we stayed was excellent. Whilst no classy 5 star establishment the room was clean, neat, paint not scuffed or peeling, cabinetry not chipped or marked, sink was sparkling, bathroom perfectly adequate and clean. I have stayed recently in Sydney and paid more than triple for a much daggier and rundown room. The value at Travelodge Southbank is excellent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: IStay River City; City: Brisbane Brisbane Region Queensland; Review: Booked a 2br room with two singles (for the kids) and a dbl. Upon arrival both rooms had 2 kings. Reception said all rooms a like that but they gave me linen to make a king into 2 singles. They even helped me to make up the beds. Next issue: light fixture in one of the bedrooms didn't work. Next issue: Air con didn't work. Next issue: no toiletries in the bathroom. Next issue: exhaust fan in bathroom didn't work. In their favour, the room was clean & reception helpful but the overall room was just average. Wouldn't stay here again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: La Promenade; City: Caloundra Sunshine Coast Queensland; Review: Clean, fresh smelling and awesome view over the water. Dated decor but hey, I didn't pay huge bucks so for the money, it was great. The pool was barely worth mentioning, just a tiny splash pool in a shady alcove near reception. Not welcoming but the beach is virtually at the door anyway.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific; City: Terrigal New South Wales; Review: Nice hotel, great facilities. The beer garden in the huge courtyard at the bottom is filled with friendly locals & reasonably priced meals and beer. Get the $12 schnitzel and beer on a Friday night. Great value!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jacaranda Noosa Apartments; City: Noosa Sunshine Coast Queensland; Review: Easy, fast check in by courteous & friendly Brett. The place is clearly quite new, as all facilities are elegant & clean with pale grey & white styling. Pool is inviting & looks great at night with the blue lighting. Our apartment had all facilities expected - full kitchen, clean bathrooms & once again appeared near new, so it was great to be entering an awesome apartment over the next few days. They even supplied various teas such a chamomile, green tea, peppermint as well as the normal black tea. Would definitely stay here again. So why only 2 stars? Well, comment must be made on 3 important issues. One star deducted for each issue. 1. The tiles around the pool (in fact the whole complex as far as I could tell) are slippery when wet so it is extremely dangerous to walk not only around the pool, but also elsewhere particularly if there are wet footprints from others or if its been raining. I saw a few kiddies frolicking around the pool & more than once I saw them slip & slide & correct themselves (fortunately). And when I was walking around the pool, each step was a gingerly exercise in stayuprightmanship. Whoever decided on those tiles clearly only had style in mind - no practicality whatsoever. An application of anti-slip coating should assist somewhat in alleviating this dangerous situation. 2. The curtains along the glass sliding doors/windows is a thin gauzy fabric which lets in full light. As a result, no sleep-in is possible. I was waking at around 4:30am/5am, and I was supposed to be on holidays where I kinda like to sleep in till oh, I dunno say around 8:30am! I spent the holiday in a tired haze thanks to those curtains. Proprietors - can you please install some block-out curtains along the length of glass along the verandah? 3. The lounge, whilst looking good, served no practical purpose in terms of comfort. No amount of cushions & pillows helped so rather than lounging about watching a bit of TV, we needed to sit upright on the dining chairs. Not really conducive to lounging. Despite the above shortcomings, it was a great stay & would return again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Grand Burstin Hotel; City: Folkestone Kent England; Review: After a south England drive, we found our evening in Folkestone & needed a hotel room. A quick seach on a few accommodation sites found the Grand Burstin, so we went there. It was the only hotel remotely within our price range, and it's clear to see why. Upon arrival, the reception is incredibly busy, dirty, filthy old carpet, paint which hasn't been updated likely since the hotel was built, so all chipped and scuffed. Wood panelling which is so dated & old. It seems the joint might've been the height of luxury in the 1950s or 60s but has never been renovated since. So I line up at reception to book our rooms. Finally get to the front of the queue.."Oh, you can't book a room here -you need to use that phone over there & come back with a booking reference". So I find the phone (once more a relic from a bygone era) & get through to a booking consultant. All organised - I line up again at the reception & get our keys. In the meantime my whole family had been waiting in the car outside wondering what the heck I'd been doing! Parking - nope! Gotta park in a public carpark over the road for 7 pounds. So we grab our bags, jump in the lift, find our rooms & once again are hit by the clear indication the rooms haven't been renovated since the hotel opened. Everything was old & shabby & worn. The carpet, the beds, the paint, the bathroom, even the mattress felt like something from the 1950s. Yes, it was clean - as best a room can be cleaned in which everything is so old. The shower - weak pressure, old shower head covered in lime rust. And the clientele - the place was crowded. Why I have no idea - I think because it might've been the pinnacle of luxury several decades ago and locals seem to think of it as such. Loud, obnoxious, not caring about fellow travellers. Breakfast was barely reasonable. And to cap it all off - it was massively overpriced!! We stayed the following night at a Premier Inn a few kilometres up the road and it was cheaper and of course up to Premier Inn standards.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Siesta Villa Motel; City: Jindabyne New South Wales; Review: Stayed here for a quick weekend ski trip. Some positives & negatives The Good. Reasonable sized rooms - enough to spread out a bit with a couple of suitcases. Passable cleanliness (see The Bad below). Crisp clean linen. Fairly newish telly high up on the wall. Recently renovated bathroom (I'd guess in the last 2 or 3 years) and clean. Warm. Excellent hot shower. The Bad. Overall the whole place is tired, run down & desperately needs a fresh lick of paint. The cabinetry in the room hasn't been updated since the place was built seemingly 40-odd years ago and while functional is just sad. Stains on the carpet, cobwebs behind the TV, scuffs & paint chips everywhere. Bathroom was clean but shower screen is developing soap scum and grout lower down just needs a good clean. I think between guests they just change the bed linen, towels & give the place a very cursory wipe over. The place is clearly run on a shoestring budget or the owners are just blind to the maintenance needs - just a simple coat of paint, scrub the shower screen between each guest, shampoo the carpets each year & a vacuum between guests & the place would be so much more inviting. Breakfast was included at Lakeside Bar & Restarant (which I've reviewed separately) but in summary it was cheap. Powdered eggs, standard cereals (cheapest weet bix, corn flakes, bran flakes), canned peaches, canned pears, cheap greek yoghurt. Overall barely OK. And do NOT eat here of an evening, waaaay overpriced & done on the cheap by either a careless chef who doesn't give a toss, or a cook who doesnt know any better. My tip - take a drive into Jindabyne. Plenty of places cheaper & better.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Franklin Apartments; City: Adelaide Greater Adelaide South Australia; Review: First impressions count and from the moment we walked into Reception, we were greeted with a friendly hello & check-in was a breeze. We were upgraded to a 2br apartment which was roomy, clean & comfortable. On closer look, the room could've done with a minor renovation - new kitchen cupboards & new bathroom vanity wouldn't go astray & new floor tiles in the bathroom would help to lift it. Fantastic location close to everything. We walked everywhere & really only needed public transport to get to/from the airport and outer suburbs such as Glenelg, otherwise Adelaide us such a small city you can walk pretty much to all city attractions.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Oster Reverse Crush Counterforms Blender, with 6-Cup Glass Jar, 7-Speed Settings and Brushed Stainless Steel/Red Finish; Brand: Oster; Review: This was only slightly better than the average blender. I don't like how much work that it takes to blend something. It is so frustrating. The other day I tried to make mashed cauliflower and it took me a good 15 minutes to finally get it to the consistency that I wanted because I kept having to stop it and then shove down the soft cauliflower with a spoon because the stupid machine wasn't doing it's job. And believe me I tried all the different buttons, gave it proper lubrication, but the thing only wants to blend the stuff on the bottom of the container. Sometimes I would love to throw this thing across the room when I have to use it. On top of it, the blade is so sharp and VERY difficult to clean. It has such little crevices with and very sharp edges make it quite difficult to get underneath the blades to clean. Call me spoiled, but I hate this blender. I would have sooner gone a few more years without a blender just to save up for a vitamix.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Winix U450 Signature Large Room Air Cleaner with True HEPA 5-Stage Filtration, PlasmaWave Technology and AOC Carbon; Brand: Winix; Review: These work great. I used to have a hamilton beach 04163 that got lost in a move, and I've since bought two of these, one for the main area of the house, and one for the bedroom. It's probably overkill for the bedroom, but these things filter a pretty significant amount of air! High CADR ratings for this price range, and with the amount of gunk I've seen collect in the filter, it's definitely doing it's job! The replacement filters are kinda pricey, but supposedly you can wash them. I've only ever really washed the pre-filter though. Washing the carbon seems silly, as I don't think you'll get any more life out of the carbon that way. Supposedly even the main hepa filters are washable, I've yet to try it. They seem like typical mesh/fabric style hepa filters and you don't typically wash those....Might try it anyway once they're past their prime to see if it's actually possible, but really you should probably just buy a new filter once a year or so depending how dirty it gets, and clean the pre-filter every few months...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Berkey PF-2 Fluoride Filter (Set of 2) - Fits Black Berkey Purifiers Only; Brand: Berkey; Review: seem to work fine, though it's note-worthy that water does leak out the top a bit, but the manual even says that's normal. They actually sit in the water after it's been filtered so I have a feeling that's part of how it actually works. They do need to be primed thoroughly, white dust will pour out of them as you prime them. Even after I primed them, I went back and primed them again in the other direction, and then ran a tank or two through, dumping out the water in the bottom after each one. After that, though, all was well, and man I'm still impressed by how tasteless and pure the water coming out of my berkey is.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Design Ideas Cabinet Baskets Mesh Silver; Brand: Design Ideas; Review: Moved into a new house and all the bathrooms have no drawers under the sink, just cabinets, and this made organization a real pain. It seemed like we had no space to put any of our bathroom stuff. I looked around online as well as in person at a few stores. Short of redoing the bathrooms, these are the best solution I've found. My wife's only complaint is that they could be a little wider. I wouldn't mind the top shelf being a little higher up either! But, the quality on these is good, and design-wise it's exactly what I wanted. The mesh is fine enough that most things won't fall through them, which is a problem on some of the shelf units that are just metal grids. Yet, you can still see through it. I haven't even bothered screwing them down, but they did come with screws to do so. The lip on the front of my cabinet prevents it from pulling forward when you pull the drawers out, so it's actually fairly functional without screwing it down, but I may get around to it eventually. The drawers do have a metal track they run on to prevent them from tipping out. There is nothing to prevent you from pulling the drawer all the way forward off the track, though. I don't personally mind that - i more just care about it preventing it from tipping down when pulling them forward, and it does that job just fine. I saw someone suggesting using the wireties it came packaged with to prevent you from pulling it out all the way, and that's actually not a half bad idea, but I haven't actually found the need. I've organized them so that most of the things i care about are right on the front of the drawers so I can just reach in and grab it without needing to pull it out very far, if at all. Don't expect them to pull out like a drawer on ball-bearing slides, it's just a basic metal rod type deal, but they work well enough for my use, and I've yet to find anything nicer at retail stores or online and for that reason I give it 5 stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Dune Blu; City: Riomaggiore Cinque Terre Italian Riviera Liguria; Review: I loved my stay at Dune Blu, as soon as I walked in the room I wished we had an extra night! The bedroom and bathroom is spacious, bright & breezy and modern. We had the green room, which was very relaxing - especially after a hot day trekking around Cinque Terre. Sara, our host was lovely and very welcoming. I would recommend Dune Blu to anyone visiting Riomaggiore and would stay here again without hesitation. Good free WI-FI, too. For those wanting to avoid the many stairs to the top level where Dune Blu is - slightly up the hill from the bottom of the stairs/Dune Blu building is a tunnel-like opening. Walk through here, take the first right and it is only a few stairs to reach the back entrance of the building. Dune Blu is the first set of stairs to the left once inside - much better than the three or so flights you need to take if you use the front entrance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Villa Clelia Bed and Breakfast; City: Levanto Italian Riviera Liguria; Review: I cannot recommended Villa Clelia highly enough. The owner was extremely welcoming and approachable. He went out of his way to help us find good places to eat and to give us information about getting around Cinque Terre. I loved Levanto and definitely want to return for a few more days of relaxing in this beautiful town. Villa Clelia has a perfect location just down the road from the beach and shops, the rooms are very comfortable and the complimentary breakfast is delicious.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel de Verdun; City: Nice French Riviera Cote d Azur Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: Hotel de Verdun has a great, central location and spacious rooms - even if the bathroom is typically French (very tiny!). This didn't bother me at all though. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel food was good and I would definitely stay here again next time I go to Nice. Very good value, we had a very comfortable stay. The decor isn't particularly modern, but it was comfortable, clean and still very nice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel le Medieval; City: Avignon Vaucluse Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: I loved staying here! It is in a very convenient location in the heart of Avignon's old part of town. The rooms were quite spacious, very clean and very pretty. The staff were very friendly, I would definitely stay here again. Walking distance to all the major sights, great value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ad Centrum B B; City: Verona Province of Verona Veneto; Review: We had a great stay here, our host was super helpful and when we arrived at the wrong Ad Centrum Verona (there are 2) he kindly drove over and picked us up - much appreciated as we had huge bags and were very tired! Our host had lots of great Verona tips, the rooms were very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great! This accomm has a lot of charm, I really loved it and would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Allure Stradbroke Resort; City: North Stradbroke Island Redland City Brisbane Region Queensla; Review: We stayed in Shack 18, which is owner-managed, at Allure Resort. The owners were lovely to deal with, we arranged everything by email which was very efficient. I loved staying at the beach shack, it was very cute and modern and had all the amenities for a comfortable weekend - could have easily stayed longer! In a quiet part of Stradbroke, the beach shacks are very relaxing and you feel like you're a world away from everything else. Point Lookout is just ten minutes down the road and easily accessible by the frequent bus. I loved every minute and would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Giosue a Mare; City: Meta Province of Naples Campania; Review: This hotel has a beautiful location by the sea, small but clean rooms and a nice breakfast. I found some of the staff helpful, but in general the staff were a little more stand offish than elsewhere in Europe. Arriving back at the hotel late (but before midnight) one evening I found that the owner (?) sleeping on the couch, reprimanding people for talking as they entered the lobby - a little rude I thought, since people weren't being noisy and it was a short walk to the elevator, but anyway. I didn't have a room with a view, but the location is convenient. There is a small bus (I think) or at least a paid elevator to get from the hotel up to street level, otherwise there are lots of stairs - something to keep in mind if you are particularly unfit or cannot climb stairs.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Eiffel Segur; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: I would definitely stay in Hotel Eiffel Segur again - I found it great value for money. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, great location with easy access to metros and only a short walk from Ave Segur, where you stumble upon an unexpected view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance - makes beautiful photos. Montparnasse is my favourite arrondissement to stay in when I'm in Paris because it is quiet, very Parisian and full of locals, rather than tourists (except for the occasional ones here and there, such as me!) The rooms were very clean and were small but very comfortable. No complaints at all, a great hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Arion Athens Hotel; City: Athens Attica; Review: Modern, clean and spacious rooms and a nice breakfast. However, our view was horrible, it looked out onto the roof of the neighbouring building and across to a few other buildings which looked very dilapidated and run down - probably the worst view I've had, but it was no problem because we just shut the curtain. I'd definitely stay here again, but if your view out the window matters to you I'd just ask to stay in a room that faces out towards the front or the other side (I can't remember which side I stayed on, unfortunately, but maybe just ask about what way your room will face). The staff were friendly and the location was great, a good budget hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Roseville House; City: Maleny Sunshine Coast Queensland; Review: I couldn't have been happier with my stay at Roseville House, as we were leaving my boyfriend and I agreed that our stay was completely faultless. The rooms are gorgeous and our hosts, Peter & Addie are wonderful - and great cooks! The breakfast is absolutely delicious. The property is very beautiful and we would definitely stay here again. We stayed in the Grevillea Cottage, which was perfect. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Golfers Inn; City: Tenterfield New South Wales; Review: The rooms here are spacious, comfortable, clean and modern. Highly recommend staying here if you're in Tenterfield. We had everything we needed and had a very pleasant stay. We arrived after a long day and ordered in from Tenterfield Gourmet Pizza which was a delicious and convenient option.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hadley s Orient Hotel; City: Hobart Greater Hobart Tasmania; Review: We stayed in the Heritage Suite, which is full of old-world charm, but feels fresh & new since the recent renovations - the perfect balance. The bed & pillows were the most comfortable I've ever had in a hotel & the spa bath was super relaxing. Lovely service & delicious high tea. Great location just a few blocks from Salamanca Square & the waterfront. Would definitely stay again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Suites Charleston Historic District; City: Charleston South Caro; Review: Our room at DoubleTree was enormous and very comfortable. The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to be helpful during our stay. The hotel is in a perfect spot for exploring downtown charleston, we were only a block or so from King Street and it was a short walk to the water and main street with restaurants and bars. Pricey, but reasonably by Charleston standards. Would stay again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Shuayb Dental; City: Spring Hill, FL; Review: I'm writing this assessment of Dr. Shuayb and his staff because when I moved to Tampa I had to find a dentist who would complete work started by someone else out of the country and not charge me an arm and a leg. I checked dentist of friends and family, but they acted as if I had no other choice. Their prices scared the crap out of me and they talked down to me as if I didn't matter. I looked up dentist who had offices everywhere, they either would not return calls, or spoke to me as if I owed them money for answering the phone. One even had a confidentiality agreement to prevent negative reports about his work. Nothing negative to say, I just decided to go elsewhere. Dr. Shuayb and his staff were friendly and treated me with great customer service and respect. He explained his prices and payment options. All of the other dentist I called or saw, wanted all the money up front. WTF, and I don't care what their reasons are for wanting full payment in advance. It's not their money until the work is done. I'm making Dr Shuayb my family dentist. I go to his office just off of Bruce B. Downs Blvd. 17427 Bridge Hill Court, Tampa, FL., 33647. It's an office with CLEAN FACILITIES and nice people.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Safelite AutoGlass; City: Thonotosassa, FL; Review: The technician servicing our car was Walter. He was professional, prompt, and did not leave without making sure all of my questions were answered. He came to our home and notified me when he was on his way. He cleaned up the trash and did an all around terrific job. I highly recommend them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yamato Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar; City: Wesley Chapel, FL; Review: Nice food good taste. The service and people were great. Ate here a year ago at my nephew's birthday. What a difference a year makes. Service is much better and the food taste better. Generous portions too. I highly recommend this place now. Check them out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ginza; City: Tampa, FL; Review: First, as I said before, I'm not a big seafood fan, but this restaurant really seems to go all out for their customers. I went there in the middle of the week for their $12.95 lunch special. The food was plentiful and very tasty. It was all you can eat off the menu. I ate a lot. I had soup, pork rolls, steak and chicken, and three different types sushi. Then I had a dish of ice cream. It was all good. I'm not sure why this place wasn't packed with people but I will go back. Their servers all worked on all the tables and they kept the food coming. I really like the Volcano sushi roll. I saw people from the LA Fitness in their too. I guess after working out, they have to put on the feed bag too. As I waddled out I noticed they have Happy Hour too. Go here to eat, drink and be merry.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cantina Mexican Grill & Bar; City: Tampa, FL; Review: I went here for dinner with friends. They don't have a liquor license yet so only beer and wine. There's plenty of food, but not the best cuts of beef. My steak was mostly fat and required a lot of chewing. Plenty of sides but I wanted to have a steak. They could have added another server because the service was slow. Their prices are good but I'm not going back. I am not sure if they are newly opened, because it looked like they were trying to get things organized.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Clear Sky Draught Haus; City: Dunedin, FL; Review: This place has great food and good prices. It seems like it is a favorite place for the locals. The service could have been a little faster since they had plenty of staff. There's plenty of parking and they prepare salads right out in seating area. I would definitely go back there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Healthy Bodies Medical and Dental Center; City: Brandon, FL; Review: It has been a long time since I had a great dentist. My last one was in Maryland and he was a relative. Finally I found another great dentist in Tampa. She has a great team here too. The facilities here are comfortable and they make you feel welcome. I highly recommend Dr. Martha Ducatel, DMD; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pinchers; City: Wesley Chapel, FL; Review: I went here for the first time to get the veteran's special on Memorial Day. My server was Derek. They just got the flounder in prior to my arrival and it was great. The green beans as one of my sides were good and tasty, not overcooked or limp. Every server that passed my table checked to see if everything was good or if we needed anything. The staff was pleasant, friendly, and made me feel welcome. GOOD JOB PINCHERS!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: McAlister's Deli; City: Tampa, FL; Review: I went here for lunch with friends. Everyone enjoyed the food and no complaining about price or portions. The service was great and they went above and beyond to help us because we were first time customers. Definitely going back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: iCustom Repairs and Retail; City: Tampa, FL; Review: I found this business on Yelp when I was in a panic because I broke the screen on my laptop. it was listed as ScrewBox at the time. The front of the business is listed with their new name too, "iCustom." At first,I Iooked pass this business. I didn't need to have a business name to tell me I am screwed. I had to look back at the business because it had 5 stars and really great reviews. Well, I am adding another 5-star rating to this business only because I can't do 6-stars. I use my laptop when working from home and you can imagine how I felt when I cracked my screen and the only thing I could see after that was the crack. TIP: Don't press hard on your screen when cleaning it, and don't try to clean it while it is up facing you. Lay it down with the screen flat on the table, then wipe GENTLY. I mean it GENTLY! Anyway, I needed to get it fixed because I was in the middle of a project and everything was on my laptop. I read the ScrewBox website and it allowed you to write to them in a CHAT type box, to get an estimate for repairs. It guaranteed a response within 20 minutes, and they did. They responded with a really reasonable rate, and I jumped in my car and went there. Since I am writing this review on that same laptop you can guess how happy I am with their work. Valentine (he pronounces it "Valenteen") handled my problem and told me the proper way to clean the screen. (see TIP above) I hope I spelled his name correctly. They also have refurbished computers, laptops, and cellphones there for sale. If you ever have any laptop issues, go to iCustom first. Forget that "G" Squad" place. Don't forget, ScrewBox is now iCustom, and I don't think they will let down with their service and workmanship.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Calf Sleeve (1 pair) - Best True Graduated Compression Leg Sleeves For Running, Basketball - Boost Circulation; Brand: Active Life; Review: I bought these because my shins hurt while walking. It got so bad that I couldn't go for walks anymore. I used these and it helped quite a bit. The pain wasn't completely gone, but it allowed me to at least go for a longer and quicker walk. I have also worn these when I am on my feet for long periods of time. It prevents my legs for tiring out quickly. They were comfortable and I barely noticed that they were on.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Cold Spring Tavern; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: We had heard about this place through various networks of friends, and finally, on the way to Solvang via the back route, we made a detour to give their breakfast a try. It was beyond amazing. We had the Wild Game Omelet, the Venison sausage patties, the biscuits and gravy, and the molasses bread. The Wild Game Omelet was a bit too much in terms of the ingredients, but it was fresh and homemade and didn't have any of that funky "gamey"ness. The venison sausage was a bit dried out, but it was indeed flavorful. The whole wheat molasses bread was a bit unique, but it was thick and warm. The biscuits and gravy... probably the coup de grâce to this immense and rich meal... was by far the underdog highlight. Never have I had such a savory sausage gravy, it was even better than my dad used to make (sorry Pops), and the biscuits were light and flaky. We even stopped ourselves from over gorging, so that we could take the remaining biscuit and gravy with us. Reheating tip, don't use full power and the water/milk/fat ratios won't get that weird separation. We can't wait to go back again, and heck, it was so good, I would probably head out of town super early to drive the distance for breakfast alone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Grand Buffet; City: Reno, NV; Review: I know that buffets aren't always the best to begin with, but there wasn't much here that I was able to find palatable. Things were either over-salted, or oil soaked fried foods, overcooked, or unevenly cooked. Just a few examples: The stuffed peppers had decent flavor, but the meat inside was gummy (over processed/mixed) and too salty to finish it. The Prime Rib was dry and over cooked. The fried shrimp and sauerbraten (both fried items) were so oil soaked that while the outside was pretty crunchy still, the shrimp was almost a mushy texture inside, and the sauerbraten was the same, except the inside was almost opaque from so much oil. The sliced Turkey was a bit of a concerning color, the edges were pink and the middle was a bit of an off-putting yellow. I had a slice of cheesecake and pumpkin pie, and they were okay, but nothing to write home about.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Chicago's Pizza With A Twist Reno - S Virginia St, NV; City: Reno, NV; Review: The pizza was interesting and okay. I'm from out of town and a friend recommended this place for dinner during our visit. It certainly is a twist, but it's far from anything Chicago-esque. The crust was a basic hand toss, not a deep dish. The toppings were unique and definitely leaning towards the Indian-food aspect. The chicken on the tikka masala was super dry. The red sauce on all of the pizzas were closer to a sweetened spaghetti sauce than a typical pizza marinara. It wasn't necessarily bad, but it was just a tinge of "different". The Supreme Pizza was pretty good with the assortment of toppings, which were fresh and plentiful. I wasn't as enthused about the pizza as my friend is, but it was okay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Moxie's Spirits & Dining; City: Reno, NV; Review: We wandered in here with a group of friends for a late brunch/early lunch. The food was okay, everyone at the table ordered something different, and they were all more or less satisfied with their decisions. No one was blown away by it, though. The ingredients were fresh, I will say that. The grilled chicken was tender and juicy. I opted for the Cobb Sandwich and shared a Cobb Salad. The bread was nicely buttered and toasted. There didn't seem to be enough bleu cheese on it however, and I opted to ask for a side of bleu cheese dressing to drizzle on each bite. We didn't order any beer/boozy drinks, but the waitress was kind enough to brew a pot of coffee for us. And that brings us around to the waitress. She wasn't rude, but she came off as short and curt to us from the get go. She seemed to want to rush us through ordering. Later on, when someone asked her for an additional side of something, she snapped back saying that she'll check with everyone once all the food is distributed. Prices were decent for the area.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: 2 Tha Joint Sushi; City: Reno, NV; Review: I'm going to chalk up my experience to the fact that we got there around 7:30, and weren't seated until about 7:45pm, so it was towards the end of the evening since they close at 9pm. We were still getting rolls that we ordered up to about 8:45pm, at that point there was the last call. Since the rolls came out in an uneven pattern, not everyone was able to eat at the same time. The rice seemed like it had been sitting out for awhile, and the seaweed was ultra chewy. The fish was okay, and on the fresh cuts, it was a thick and generous portion. The rolls didn't pop for me, though. It seemed like the majority of menu items automatically came with a spicy heat element to it. If it wasn't desired, you pretty much have to special order/request for the spicy items to be left off. It felt more like California fusion of sushi. It wasn't bad, but I doubt that if I was in the area again that I'd revisit.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Big Ed's Alley Inn; City: Reno, NV; Review: Is it worth the hype? Absolutely. We popped in here for brunch one day. There was a group of about 7 of us. We got a great table, and staff was friendly and patient. The food... tasted real, like legit homemade. Like I spent the time and love and cooked it up with friends or family. The sausage was juicy, the potatoes were perfect, and the chili (has no beans!) was warm and happy on the rainy day. The Bloody Mary was pretty darn good (had to try based on the other reviews). It wasn't soupy-thick, but it was well balanced between the mix, alcohol, and spices. Even the olives had taken on a lot of the drink's flavor. Everyone was thrilled with the foods they selected, and plans were definitely made to go back once everyone is in the area again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Squeeze In; City: Reno, NV; Review: I think I died and went to Bloody Mary heaven. That being said, all of the foods were stellar and served hot & fresh. The Manly Morris Meal was bordering on lumberjack level. *insert grunting noises*. The French Dip was pretty good. Adding the Sexton Sexy option didn't really work with the sandwich, but the ingredients were fresh as I pulled them off the sandwich to eat separately. Overall, the dip was good. The garlic fries were near vampire-killer level, and no complaints about that. The bottomless mimosas was a great deal, and they had options! We opted for cherry and OJ, and then someone at the table had the bright idea to combine them. Yikes that's yummy! The Bloody Mary is a thing of art, and all of the add-one were fun and delicious. The focaccia grilled cheese pieces were my favorite (even over the bacon), as it was a nice light crunch add on. Definitely going to go back when I'm in the area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Churrasco Brazilian Steakhouse; City: Reno, NV; Review: By far one of the best Brazilian Steakhouses that I've been to in a few years. I made the rookie mistake of getting a plate full of apps and sides since I wasn't sure how quickly the meats would start coming around (tip: not long at all, and couldn't even finish the apps/sides, but they were all superb). I even had to stop myself from eating so many of the cheese bread balls to save room for the meats. The meats were a tad over salty, and then with large chunk sea salt on some cuts. Everything was thoroughly cooked and had a nice char. The meats were mostly tender, and if you're partial to only certain cuts, you should probably stick to those unless you really want to explore. The drinks were good, but there was one worker/bartender that I had walked passed that was a bit rude and loudly complaining about one or more fellow employees (I think he was a blonde guy). Desserts were the perfect ending, and we opted for the crepe brûlée and the cheesecake. Sadly, the bar didn't have any port in stock. After a meal like this, it would have been perfect. Next time I'm in Reno, definitely eating here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

The first contestant guessed "the question rounds" and "the question raising." The second contestant added an "M" and then guessed "the question reminds." And finally the third contestant bought an "E" resulting in the puzzle "THE Q_ ESTION RE_ _INS." He didn't even try to guess before the buzzer sounded. Host Pat Sajak was shocked all three contestants could not solve the puzzle. And fans at home took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the matter. The puzzle came full circle and the first contestant got another crack at it. This time she guessed correctly, causing Sajak to exclaim, "Good job.

Title: Windlestraw; City: Walkerburn Scottish Borders Scotland; Review: We spent a weekend at Windlestraw Lodge early October on a celebratory occasion with other adult members of the family. A warm welcome awaited and very relaxed and comfortable surroundings. The food was presented with great skill and proved memorable. It was cooked by the owner who has many years experience and he was certainly not "a TV performing clown"! Breakfast was a treat, again prepared by the chef. Together with his wife the whole operation was seamless and we were sorry to depart. With some of the family going for walks and others visiting Melrose and Peebles - which are meccas for the discerning to shop - good weather is not a priority. A marvellous place to take a house party. Thank you Alan and Julie.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: House O Hill Hotel; City: Bargrennan Newton Stewart Dumfries and Galloway Scotland; Review: We make a beeline for House O'Hill whenever we can. Karen, Helen and Daniel are great hosts, as are the rest of the team - nothing is too much trouble. But most importantly they have a way with food that sets it apart from the usual run of the mill pub food. It's not over complicated, but immediately you can tell that here there's more than lip service to good, locally sourced materials - beef, lamb, pork, venison, seafood especially. Good food demands respect - and it certainly gets it here in the kitchen. Over a period of several visits during 2011 we've become conscious of quite a few regular patrons who are prepared to travel a fair distance from their usual local haunts to enjoy the tasty offerings here. And if you're looking for a venue for a simple, but special occasion, then this is somewhere you must consider!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Selkirk Arms Hotel; City: Kirkcudbright Dumfries and Galloway Scotland; Review: The exterior of the hotel understates the welcomes that have greeted us on many visits to dine here. Messrs. McDavid and Walker leave nothing to be desired by the guest. And their team display confidence and friendliness that many other hotels could do well to study. Whether it's a simple bar snack or a full blown meal, the quality, the flavours, the service have always been memorable. Superlative beef (and so it should be in this area that prides itself on stock rearing) on my plate today, while my guests enjoyed excellent halibut fillet, all preceded by one of the most delightful pheasant consommés, delicately flavoured. And a chocolate brownie, so light it might also float, and fortified with kirsch anglaise brought the meal to a magnificent conclusion. The wine list is not one of those rambling affairs - it cuts to the chase with some interesting offers, and it is not outrageously priced either. Excellent value for money all round.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cairngorm Guest House; City: Aviemore Aviemore and the Cairngorms Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Stayed here for three nights over a weekend, arrived to a very friendly welcome, and shown to a spotless, comfy room, well equipped and serviced. Without doubt one of the best breakfasts going - REAL fresh fruit salad, so often a rarity in many establishments who can think no further than the tinned stuff. Here there were raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, oranges, as well as a whole pineapple to choose from; and of course fresh porridge and a wide range of cereals. Specials for breakfast included scrambled egg and smoked salmon on a toasted muffin - superbly produced - or there were pancakes with bacon and maple syrup; but the full Scottish breakfast is the mother of them all - freshly cooked and a great send off for a day's walking. There was plenty of advice on places to visit, walks to do, and even if the weather was a bit 'iffy' for the first couple of days, clothes were soon dried out in the room set aside for the purpose. A friendly place, and excellent value for money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cally Palace Hotel; City: Gatehouse of Fleet Dumfries and Galloway Scotland; Review: We felt the stress draining out of us the moment we crossed the threshold. There's nothing particularly trendy or challenging about the Cally Palace, and that's probably why it's so popular. We came for two nights and wished it could have been longer, but such is life. A large airy, room where we could sit and snooze; a bathroom you could have a ball in. Lounges to really lounge in, and no insidious background music. It's a place that makes you feel 'friendly' again, and we were overwhelmed by the friendliness of all the other guests. The dining is traditional, classic, and very well executed, and the local staff are wonderful in making you feel at ease. This was our fourth visit, and it won't be long before we go again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Birmingham Nec Airport Hotel; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: I post this as a warning to anyone wanting to contact this hotel directly. I needed to check out room accessibility for a disabled person (the Premier website asks that you do this as a matter of course). The direct telephone number 0333 777 3911 responds with a three choice menu - change a booking / cancel a booking, or speak directly to reception. You get one minute of music followed by an apology that reception is busy with other customers, and then cuts off. On the single occasion that my call was answered, it was immediately terminated. I telephoned eleven times from 1400 hours to 2200 hours and got nowhere. Even the Premier Inn Central Reservations team could not help, they too had the same issue. When I arrive tomorrow night I will be very interested to get their response.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Parador de Salamanca; City: Salamanca Province of Salamanca Castile and Leon; Review: I stayed here in late September 2013. Staff were really helpful and friendly, and they spoke English. The hotel was very clean and nicely appointed. Thew view from the hotel was postcard-perfect. It rained really badly one day, and the front desk gave me an umbrella and an accurate estimate for a cab into the old town. I also got a great deal on the hotel because their online booking gave a discount for under 35 year olds. My only complaint was that it wasn't in one of those old castles or monasteries like the other Paradors....but oh well. Although not right in the centre, it's a 15 minute walk across the Roman bridge, and it really wasn't that far at all.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Abades Recogidas; City: Granada Province of Granada Andalucia; Review: Very helpful front desk. Beautiful rooms and decor. Great location, right on the main street. It's less than a ten minute walk to Plaza Nueva and Plaza Bib-Rambla. Reasonably priced, and very clean and modern.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Puerto Palos; City: Mancora Piura Region; Review: Very low-key and quiet place, about a ten-minute moto-ride from town. The pool was a nice change from the very windy beach. At first, we weren't too sure about the location; but after an hour on that quiet stretch of beach, we felt right at home. We walked up and down the beach, and Puerto Palos is in the best location - not too far from town, not clogged with litter and bird carcasses, and free of the jagged rocks that prevent swimming for a lot of other hotels. It was also great to be away from the noise and dirty hippies that populated the town. The staff spoke almost no English, but were very helpful and friendly. We didn't find out that they had a full restaurant until our last day, which was kind of annoying; but we had a great escape at Puerto Palos, and wold definitely recommend it. It was a great place to relax, after our five day Salkantay Trek. When our taxi back to the airport didn't show up, the owners were so kind to arrange for one immediately. Unfortunately, you have to pay cash.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dar Faracha Fes; City: Fes Fes Boulemane Region; Review: Don't be discouraged by the location - in the less-desirable corner of the Medina, and down a very narrow back alley. Once you're inside, you will think about never leaving. Dar Faracha offers everything you need to enjoy your stay: warm service, delicious meals, wine and beer, and advice on how to manage the dizzying maze that is the Fes Medina. Hamza and Joelle made sure we knew what we were doing, and made us feel very welcome and cared for. It was our first time in Fes, and it was a bit intimidating for the first evening. It ended up being a truly relaxing experience to just get lost in the Medina, and wander about. The view from the rooftop was particularly striking, and gave us a sense of what the Medina would be like to wander through. The room was nicely appointed, and it was nice to be able to sit outside on the terrace, just past the door. The meals we had were gourmet, and definitely worth the cost. Each course was introduced and explained like we were in a gourmet restaurant. Joelle even helped us choose wine to pair with our food. After one of the meals, she explained how to make the dessert we had. She gave us so much helpful information on how to navigate the Medina, and Morocco. The wifi wasn't very good in the room, but was fine in the living-room, downstairs. I would definitely stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Riad Ritaj; City: Meknes Meknes Tafilalet Region; Review: From the moment we walked in the front door, we were welcomed with a surprising amount of warmth from Omar and his family. The lobby/courtyard/dining area is spectacular. It was like walking into a Moroccan palace. Omar and his family helped us with tips about the Medina, booking a car to visit Volubilis and Moulay Idriss, about the hammam across the street, and buying a rug. He gave us a personal tour of the historic Madrassa nearby. The driver he found for us to take us to Volubilis (a must-see), Mohammed, was super helpful and patient. The room was very nicely adorned, and the towels were incredibly soft. We had dinner there on our first night, and it was super-delicious. Definitely order the Moroccan salads option, and the lamb. We also had a nice bottle of Moroccan red to go with our meal. That meal was one of the best we had during our two weeks in Morocco. Tip: when arriving, just get the driver to drop you off in the main square. Walk toward the BNP, and turn down the street/alley on the right.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LOFT Hotel Bratislava; City: Bratislava Bratislava Region; Review: The hotel was super clean and new. Staff were friendly, and informative (in person, and a lot less helpful on the phone). It's located right on the main street into the old town, from the train station (10 min walk). The restaurant is a great American style beer pub, with a great selection of local beers and a ton of local wines. Bratislava food and wine is way cheaper than in Austria, and just as good. Would recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Metropolitan Hotel Vancouver; City: Vancouver British Columbia; Review: Despite its age, the hotel is still a nice, classy place. The location is perfect for strolling around downtown, or for taking the train elsewhere. The pool and whirlpool are a nice respite from the day's work. Bed and linens were very comfortable. Staff were friendly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Invicta Ribeira Boat Hotel; City: Porto Porto District Northern Portugal; Review: The location is unbeatable! You get to stay right in the Ribeira, just steps from the shops, bars, and restaurants. Every night, you can go to the roof deck to watch the sunset over the city. The staff were friendly and helpful. Security is tight because it's a boat just sitting there in the tourist district, but you just need to show your card. Since it's an old river cruise boat, the rooms are small and musty from years of damp air. The air freshener they use to cover it up was overpowering, and not great. Although small, the rooms have two beds and everything you need. The bathroom is tiny, but has a shower separate from the toilet and the sink. So cleverly designed! Hot breakfast is included, and it's a really good breakfast! Would stay here again. The six of us had a great time. Only thing missing is a hotel bar.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Emerald Isle The Heritage Villa; City: Alappuzha Alappuzha District Kerala; Review: This "homestay" looks and feels more like a boutique, heritage hotel! Located right on the water, and backing onto rice fields; so, there's beautiful views and sunsets every day! They have free bikes you can borrow to ride around. They can arrange boat tours, ayurvedic massages on site, and transportation. We came here as our last stop on our 4 day Kalypso Adventures kayak trip. It was a beautiful place to end our trip. The rooms are amazing: outdoor shower, big bed, sparkling clean, lots of nice wood and local design. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jai Niwas; City: Jaipur Jaipur District Rajasthan; Review: For the cost, this place is entirely appropriate. Rooms are clean and come with a tv, electric kettle, AC, and heater. But they're not the largest or most fancy things you'll find. Since almost all the rooms face a walkway or garden, expect to hear people talking or walking by a lot. But, it's still a quieter place than anything facing one of Jaipur's busy streets. Staff were super nice about moving me to a quieter room and adjusted the bill to the lower rate for me. There was a loud party going on the night I arrived (at the hostel), but it ended by 11pm. Only real issue was the constant construction noise from 8am until 6pm. They were able to arrange a driver to go to the Amber Fort and to the airport. It was great to be able to have everything put onto one bill, then pay by card. The kitchen had the best food I ate in Jaipur. Real home cooking done well, and for great prices. Seriously don't bother going anywhere else to eat in the evening. Just eat here, and save half the cost of a restaurant!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fort Abode; City: Kochi Cochin Ernakulam District Kerala; Review: Stayed here on my own in February 2018. I had a nice, clean and quiet room on the 2nd/3rd floor. Room came with good AC, lots of hot water, and a large bed. Room and hotel are all very clean and well-maintained. The rooftop pool is such a great way to spend a couple hours in a quiet place, away from it all...and a great place to tan. It was so nice to cool off at the pool, after a few hours of exploring Fort Kochi. The front desk can take care of everything, which is awesome. He (sorry, I forgot your name) arranged for tickets to the Kathakali Cultural Centre...good tickets. I was able to book a cooking class, and he had good recommendations for where to eat. FYI, if you eat at Rasoee, they will give you a discount if you show your Fort Abode room key. Also, the food at Rasoee is quite good. It was great to be able to roll it all onto one bill. Breakfast is decent. The location is unbeatable. Walking distance to everything in Fort Kochi: basilica, churches, beach, Chinese fishing nets, shops, restaurants, and even the two bars that exist! The location, the friendly service, and the pool....seriously excellent value here! I had a great stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kurialacherry House; City: Alappuzha Alappuzha District Kerala; Review: We arrived here as part of our kayaking tour through the backwaters, arranged by Kalypso Adventures. We both felt like we were at an expensive resort! The location right by the canal, next to lush rice paddies was like out of a magazine. The place is clean and beautiful. The rooms and the grounds are well-maintained and contemporary. There are chairs for reading on the porch, and upstairs, facing the canal. There's a hammock in the yard, and a view of the canal and rice fields from the dining area. Outdoor shower, strong AC, stylish wood furnishings, delicious meals, and a wonderful walk through the village, at sunset. We learned so much about the area and the people on that walk. Thank you, Jacob for taking such good care of us. The food was really delicious...probably the best I had in Kerala. I still think about the food we had that night. And Jacob really wants the place to have a lower environmental impact, so there are little touches like no bottled water for dining (but complimentary in the rooms). I wish I could've stayed longer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Salt Spring Inn; City: Ganges Salt Spring Island British Columbia; Review: Wasn't too sure about sharing bathrooms, but they were kept so clean that it wasn't a concern. Also, there's a sink in the room, which was great. The location is right in the heart of Ganges, so it's easy to get some groceries, wine, walk around, see the harbour, and find parking. Staff were very friendly. Food at the restaurant was surprisingly great, and the prices decent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Dolce Vita Resort Spa; City: Palm Springs Greater Palm Springs California; Review: Robert was super friendly and helpful to us right from the moment me and my friend checked in. He explained everything, and showed us around. He even confirmed that we could still use the amenities for the day, even after check out. The room was sparkling clean and recently renovated. The lock system is great, since you no longer have to carry a key card around. TV worked, and toiletries were a good brand. The heated pools were perfect. One was more social, and the other was more quiet, which was the one right outside our door. Hot tub could be larger, but if there's no one there, it's all yours. The steam room is clean and new, as well. While I was reading by the pool, one of the other staff asked if I would like a glass of ice water. I know that sounds like nothing, but it's a fantastic touch that speaks to the level of service. I've been at 4-star hotels where the staff won't even answer a question, so this was nice. It felt like being at a gay oasis!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Harbour Castle Toronto; City: Toronto Ontario; Review: I'm from Toronto, and always wanted to stay here. So, when I came for a conference after moving out of town, I was looking forward to it. Positives: nice updated room with a great lake view, close to transit, baggage service guys were nice, catering for the conference was delicious Negatives: slow check in, unhelpful concierge and front desk staff, slow service in the lobby bar due to massive conference (they should've scheduled for this), location is a bit out of the way from downtown, but close to the island airport!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Vista Azul; City: Varadero Matanzas Province Cuba; Review: The resort is still new and clean. Rooms are spacious. Pools are well maintained and super pretty. Grounds are well kept. Almost all the bathrooms are very clean and stocked with papers. Staff were friendly, except for the front desk staff. They were rarely helpful, and often condescending. But we didn't have to deal with them too often. Fortunately, we had great service from Sule, our housekeeping, Annie, waitress in the dining hall, and the friendly staff at Mike's Coffee. The beach is EXCELLENT! Although some would complain that it's not one single beach right outside the door, I preferred having two beach choices set away from the crowds of the main lobby and dining. Crystal clear water. Sandy fairly far out. Just enough waves to make it fun, but not dangerous. This is what you come to Cuba for! The "activities beach" is further away, more relaxing, wider, but lacks shade. Bring the room umbrella. No complaints about the food. No one got sick. Good variety of meats and fish. The a la carte restos were good (esp. the Cuban/Caribbean one), but the cooking was slow as molasses. Don't go in hungry! Tennis court was new and well maintained. Not sure if the lights worked. Water activities included kayaking, snorkelling, and catamaran. Volleyball net needs replacing, but they did move it to a better location. I noticed that more people started playing after that. The entertainment was actually good. Dancers really put in effort. Costumes and props! And the circus show was seriously great. Would go back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

My stay at Loki was the highlight of South America. I ended up working behind the bar and met the greatest people. From cycling down death road, getting a tattoo from Pepes in the bar, partying til 6am at the blue room (RIP), eating saltenas everyday, hanging out with the Loki reception staff, going to the movies and bowling and so much more I never wanted to Leave. The hostel manager Jamie is the greatest guy ever too :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vila Madalena Hostel; City: Sao Paulo State of Sao Paulo; Review: Vila Madelena is awesome- the hostel is great and gives you heaps of opportunities to meet new people. The staff were amazing and very helpful- the owner is something else :) Activities are organized every day- I would recommend the pub crawl; was so much fun!!! You get to paint on the walls when you leave- look out for "it's sooooo beautiful" and 5 heads next to the outdoor bathroom :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LOKI Cusco; City: Cusco Cusco Region; Review: Admin staff were really helpful and friendly, rooms were huge and always clean. The bar and outdoor area are always full of people and a great place to meet people. The themed parties were so much fun. The travel agent within the hostel was really helpful and planned our entire macchu pichu trek! Easily the most fun I had in a hostel in Peru :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The New York Loft Hostel; City: Brooklyn New York; Review: Stayed at this hostel on 2 separate occasions- the rooms are very clean and well sized. The staff are really helpful. It's only a few minutes walk to the subway station, laundry, general store, liquor store, bars etc. Great place to meet new people and have a lot of fun!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: QT Perth; City: Perth Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: Had an amazing stay at QT - could not fault the staff, service and facilities!

Title: BC Spa Hotel; City: Dalyan Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Booked in here for 6 nights in November. We shouldn't have bothered really. Very quiet as out of season, lots of building work going on with no real consideration for guests. Breakfast was poor with very little choice. After 2 days being there we had to go to reception to ask for our room to be cleaned and for clean towels. They had it cleaned, but was more of a 'quick flick' and we never had the room cleaned again! We paid full price for the room and although we knew the spa was closed, they should either supply normal standards of cleaning/breakfast or close in winter.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Dalyan Michelangelo Boutique Hotel; City: Dalyan Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: After staying at numerous hotels in dalyan that didn't come up to expectations, we came across this newly opened hotel last year at the end of our holiday, so decided to stay there this year. Excellent hotel, nicely furnished rooms, quality bed and bed linen and all amenities. Staff very professional and so friendly. Breakfast fresh tasty and Hugh! We will certainly return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Le Reve Hotel Spa Adults Only; City: Hurghada Red Sea and Sinai; Review: We decided to stay here for 1 night as a mini break and we had family with us. We chose this hotel as it has a good selection of restaurants to choose from. We booked this through booking.com at a cost of 183 usd per double room. After checking in, I went to reception to book a table at one of the restaurants for that evening ( Bella italian) and was advised that it was fully booked. I then asked the guest relation lady if I could book for the Chinese restaurant, I was advised that it had to be booked before 2pm. Check in was from 3pm on the website so not possible. I was advised that we could eat at the buffet restaurant. After politely informing guest relations that during the booking process no information regarding this was given to prospective guests, she kindly managed to get us a table at the Chinese restaurant. We were also advised that to dine at the a la carte restaurants guests had to be staying for a minimum of 3 days. The restaurant/food was excellent as was the service. The check in was very good with very friendly staff. The room was very comfortable with a very large bed and all amenities available. Very good food choice for breakfast. We would consider this hotel for the future, but as we like to take mini breaks of 1 or 2 nights the inability to dine at the a la carte restaurants is not appealing. A very good hotel, however, more information should be given prior to booking.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Xanadu; City: London England; Review: We stay here 4/5 times a year as the location is great for our shopping trips. The rooms are always spotlessly clean and maintained very well, however, a little dissapointed on our last stay as some rooms have a bigger storage space than others and we struggled a little, now we know this we can deal with it. As a base this hotel gives you everything you need, it's not far from the tube into central london and there are loads of restaurants/bars on the doorstep. The reception/ housekeeping staff are always pleasent and very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant was closed for a refurbishment the last time we were there so we couldn't eat but previously the food was very good. All in all an excellent hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Meridien Cairo Airport; City: Cairo Cairo Governorate; Review: We stayed here for the 2nd time on the 28th of October for one night as we were in transit. We arrived at the hotel around 8.30 pm, dropped our bags in the room and then went to book a table at the Chinese restaurant. By this time it was 8.45, I asked what time the restaurant closed and was advised 10.30, So We booked a table for 9.45 and went for a drink in the sports bar where the service was excellent. At 9.45 we arrived at the restaurant and shown to our table, ordered 1 starter, 2 main courses and a bottle of wine ( cape bay not available) so stuck with beer. Starter came very quickly (8 to 10 minutes), whilst still eating starter the main course arrived we didn't say anything. Half way through the main course the waiter came to us and asked if we would like a dessert, and if we needed another drink as the bar was closing. We advised that we had not finished the main course so obviously did not know if we would order a dessert or not. At this point I asked to speak with the manager as we felt that we had been totally rushed, the manager apologised and advised us that the kitchen finished at 10.30. We asked why a booking was taken for 9.45 as obviously 45 minutes to eat a meal is not acceptable. He did inform us to take our time however this confrontation had actually spoilt our evening so we paid our bill and left. Very disappointing experience. The hotel itself is in an ideal location, comfortable, large clean rooms with good amenities. We have a booking at the end of this month however I doubt we will use the Chinese restaurant, which is a shame really as the food was very good!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

The fabric is light weight but that would be okay as I had planned to use them "just for looks" anyways. I find it disappointing to have a "bait & switch" product.

Title: HLC.ME Turquoise Blue Sheer Voile Window Treatment Rod Pocket Curtain Panels for Bedroom (54" W x 84"; Brand: HLC.ME; Review: The color is beautiful. These were purchased for our home office. The flooring is dark wood look, the desk is a combination of dark and light wood, the walls are a very light peach. This color combination is beautiful. One panel has a defect in the middle but because we placed 4 panels for a 54 width window, the defect is not too noticeable. We did have to spend some time pressing these and some of the sewing on the side seams is tight - causing tension.. The color pictured is a bit darker than the actual color. In our opinion, the color receive is more of a teal not turquoise color. This is disappointing as I purchased other shear curtains and they were perfect. I think the quality could be improved.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
