Perfect for the Southern California motorcycle rider | Perfect for the Southern California motorcycle rider. It's a little heavier than I thought, but it was a nice surprise.
I wear it everywhere. |
Colors not what they look like. | I am disappointed the picture shows different colors then the other 40 I bought the same day. Wished you would have told me. They looked like they were more spring colors. Would like to send them back. Nothing wrong withe the thread itself. |

Just a pleasure to read | What better review can you give a book than simply to say that every time you picked it up you were happier for it?
And that is what 'Sara and the Foreverness of Friends of a Feather' is all about. This book is beautifully written and contains wonderful truths. There is no gripping plot from cover to cover, but rather an enriching journey in episodes. The book answers many questions for people who are on their spiritual paths and who want to knwo how to apply wisdom - here and now, in every situation. It is written from the point of view of a young girl , and so it is easily accessible to children of all ages. It is most definitely a book everyone (who wishes to life a joyful life) wishes they had had the chance to read while growing up - and would enjoy reading, and re-reading, and re-re-reading now ...
I also highly recommend the 2 sequels to this book. If you have children (ages 3-15), let them read this book. If you don't, let you inner child read this book all the same! :) |
spectre clearly doesnt know what 3 inches is | would've given it 3 or 4 stars if it cost $4 dollars. yes it is plastic, plastic that is weaker than pvc but it will work and has worked for me so far (2 months). one problem is.. it says it is for 3" filters... so I figured a 3" filter would fit it, guess not because a filter that said to fit 3" pipes and this pipe said to fit 3" filters both by the same company (spectre) didt fit together which baffles me. anyway I got it to work and I guess this will work for you if you sand off the lip on the end of the pipe, but spectre needs to get their s*** together and learn what 3" is.... oh yeah and the inside is nice and smooth for airflow. |

A book full of laughs! It will brighten your day. | This is the truest book about Great Danes out there. A must read for Everyone! This is hysterical! |
This pump is quite compact and easy to use | This pump is quite compact and easy to use. Also the company has great customer service. Being a noob I took apart the nozzle and put it back together incorrectly. I ruined the tip and couldn't get the pump to work. I contacted Geared2U via email and explained my mistake. They sent me a whole new pump!! Great service and product. |

Power and volume rocker too tight | The case looked great. However the part of case that is covering the power button and the volume rocker is a little too tight. It sometime turn my phone off, turn on the camera (double clicking on power). It's frustrating when I don't know when my phone was turned off. It's also frustrating when I have bunch of pictures of my pocket |
Good quality, extremely comfortable as expected of Camper | These Campers are very-very soft and light. They are true to Camper size, meaning 37 equals to 6.5 of american sizes. |
Fun And VERY Portable | I bought the Diamond Rio 300 Player and I love it. It's is so portable its unbelievable. One tip though, the speakers that come with it aren't that good. The plug doesn't fit in well you have to shove it in. By the way, if you see that your player keeps pausing it is because your volume is up too high. |
Tiny but holds up well | I love that these don't change color.. they stay silver. But.. much smaller than I imagined |
Thought provoking storyline. | We all have to make tough decisions in our lives. Sometimes we choose right, but then again sometimes we choose wrong. Would you choose to do something that could alter a persons life just to satisfy yourself? |

3 1/2 stars -- Mixed feelings about this futuristic YA novel | I am not the target audience for this book so that may explain my ambivalence about it. A younger reader may more easily identify with Clair, the main character, and thus enjoy the book much more.
On the positive side, there are some good things to say about the book. It is set in the future but is not the dystopian future I see in so many YA books after the success of The Hunger Games series. The future in this book is a lot more like what you see in the Star Trek series, only set on earth. D-mat machines (think of the Star Trek transporters) allow Clair (who lives in Maine) to be best friends with Libby (who lives in Sweden) and both of them go to school in California and Libby to have a boyfriend who lives in Singapore. (There is no discussion of differing time zones and what that might mean for a Swedish girl to attend school in CA much less date a guy from Singapore -- this is one of the things that makes an adult reader raise an eyebrow but might be seen as fun to a teen.) There are also fabbers (think of replicators in Star Trek) that make the clothes they wear and the food they eat. They are also continuously and automatically connected to something like the Cloud/Internet (think of Google Glass).
The friendship between Clair and Libby gets fractured over two things: Libby has taken part in the mysterious "Improvement" program to remove a birthmark on her face but then she starts acting strange and Calir doesn't know if it is because of Improvement or because Libby saw posts about Clair and Libby's boyfriend. (I started losing interest in the book when it looked like it was heading into the overworked love triangle trope. Fortunately it didn't go far down that road.)
Clair decides to investigate Improvement and enlists the help of a classmate who is a "Stainer" (those who abstain from using the d-mat and fabber technology). Along the way a mysterious friend contacts her through the Cloud/Internet and helps her. This investigation both puts Clair in danger and gives her a cause to fight for.
I liked that Clair was a resourceful young female character without being "too" perfect and skilled. I also really enjoyed the subtle world building, particularly the geopgraphical references that let the observant reader understand something has dramatically changed in the world. As I mentioned above, I didn't think there was enough about the practicality of a world where every destination is just a short d-mat trip away, but the whole world can't be on the same time zone unless "daytime" hours in some parts of the world are spent in the dark.
I got bored about a third of the way through the book and put it down while I read several other books. I was reluctant to pick it up again, but as I read it got more interesting. I think it slants more to the younger end of the Young Adult market. There is no sex and no swearing. There is some violence so parents of very young readers whose vocabulary brings them into the YA market might take note.
Overall, from an adult perspective, it was OK to sort of interesting. I think younger teen girls would find it more exciting than I did because they would identify more with Clair and not dwell on the things I found irritating. |
REMEMBER: This is WOOL | Some people are allergic to wool so be sure you are not one before purchasing. Wool is better than any man made chemical to use when we can. I have been around many years so know much about cotton and wool. When we use to wash wool it was in cool water and we used Woolite; NOT REGULAR SOAPS. Also when wool gets wet it loses it's shape. There is no washing instruction tag on the pillow so THIS SAYS BUYER BEWARE..... More than likely it will be a big clump if you wash it. I would put a good pillow protector over it and just wash that often and could air out the pillow like on a clothes line or something like that and shake to fluff it. Best not to use water on wool. We all need more natural products so hoping they will give us more to choose from. They help protect us from cancer and other illness. |
Need it? Buy it ! You won't be dissapointed.... | They are what they say they are. Work well and do the intended job. I couldn't find one negative thing to report !! |
He makes the everyday positively magical! | I've followed the author/artist on Instagram since the beginning of the year, so I was excited for the release of this book. My copy arrived today and I ADORE it! It completely captures the imagination of a sweet, simple moment. I won't spoil the ending, but I love it, too. So many well-thought out touches in the drawings, color pallet, and in the design of the book itself. I don't have any children of my own, but I like to collect storybooks with beautiful art and joyful themes. I'm delighted to add this to my collection! |
Great lovey for my daughter | My daughter uses this to sleep with during naps and during the night. We used this dog blanket to replace her pacifiers. We ordered extras for the just in case on vacations. |
What a wonderful bargain LIFE YOUR WAY is! | I think that anyone who is struggling in life and wants help, but can't afford the expense of therapy sessions, has only to buy Amy Wood's book to receive clear direction on how to get in touch his/her own inner strengths. What a bargain!!!!! I truly enjoyed each and every page. Amy Wood is generous in communicating ideas and experiences to her readers. Amazon has done us a favor for making this available to us. Being able to get it on Kindle is an added plus.

Steamy.... down in New Orleans. | I bought this because it was set in the Big Easy... New Orleans... I have not watched this DVD yet even though I seen the movie several years ago. I like Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin. |
Fun read but compressed | Still not sure whether I like the singles or not. Enjoyed the story but wasn't happy with the "short story" aspect of these mini books. Still a DeMille fan though. |
Just what I was looking for! | When the company who makes the kibble we used was sold we went looking for a new food and researched a lot with the help of the expert in our pet shop. We were surprised how well educated they have to be! I got his product to add to our Shelties' diet to make sure they get enough nutrients when we make some homemade food. So far they seem to be doing very well. They are prone to have skin conditions so we are hoping that this is going to be beneficial. So far so good. The real test will be in the summer when it is really hot. Till then I will be very confident that they get the correct nutrition. I want to avoid grain so I make many meals at home.
The recipes are nice and simple and easy to follow. |
I love this mat insert | I love this mat insert. The colors are vibrant and its perfect for non holiday times....I have many mat inserts. |
Excellent. Has different levels | Excellent. Has different levels. For an active person this is more like active stretching, not really a workout. But for someone getting into exercise this would be a great way to start. |
Actually makes me want to pick up poop... | so nice to not have to get close to the poop. All i do is spray it off for the next use before i put it away and never have to touch the bad stuff. You can pick up A LOT of poop before you have to empty the scoop. Helps if the poop is hard, gets messy if not, but like i said you can just spray it off if it does |

Plays nice for the price. Poorly constructed handle. | Got the green color. Looks nice and plays nice compared to super cheap paddles. Easy control and decent spin. Suited my beginner skills well. Major issue: grip fell off one side after a few weeks of semi-regular use. Glued back on, still works fine. Shouldn't have to deal with that type of issue with a $30ish paddle. Would've given 5 stars but too expensive for something so cheaply constructed. |
Not quite 5, 4 3/4 maybe... | I was introduced to these guys when they opened for Sevendust and Cold a few months ago. After seeing 'em live, I HAD to track down their disc, I'm glad I did. It has got some pretty heavy rotation on my stereo and I can't quite seem to get them out of my head. The CD as a whole is good and there are a few standout tracks. I'll let you form your own opinion of what they are though, I'm no critic and you probably wouldn't agree anyways...which is good. Anyways, great new band, great CD. I'm really looking forward to some big things from them! |
Bought this as a christmas gift... | My aunt had been talking about finding a beret hat for quite some time... She LOVED this. It was quite small, but she said that was good. She stretched it out last winter and used it to protect her thick, long hair from the snow. Good buy!! |
Great singlet for running | Great singlet for running. Makes you look a little bigger around the waist, however. I'd give it a five if cut differently around the waist - make it a tighter fit. |

We bought one for my grandma so she could fill it out for our daughter. 365 pages of questions you may have never thought to ask, but allow her to tell the story of her childhood and life with pictures and all the details. Such a fun gift. We are all excited to give it back to my daughter later. |
THis is the second time I bought one of these ... | THis is the second time I bought one of these the first time the button got jammed and I just got my new one yesterday and I took my phone out of the case because it wasn't charging and this thing fell out. I'm trying to get a new one or my money back but the seller is not responding to any of my emails. Buy from someone else |
Werewolves in the Old West | This is the first book I have read from PublishAmerica and honestly I have to state that it is far superior to many works I have read from major publishing houses. Although it is actually closer in length to a novella than a true novel it is still very entertaining and I will be looking for other works written by Mr. Light.
The story starts with the appearance of a stranger in the small town of BugLeg Wyoming,in the middle 1880's, right before an unusually strong and unseasonal blizzard traps everyone within the confines of this small town. Gruesome murders of local townfolk soon occur and the town's sheriff is tested to the extreme to explain the chaos that has erupted in his backyard. With strong characterizations and excellent storytelling ability, Jason Light makes this a quick and entertaining tale with that captures the essence of the Old West. My kudos also go out to Mr. Light for not falling into the aspiring young writers trap of not over-narrating this tale. He moves the tale briskly through the eyes of his characters and gives the readers multiple perspectives of the horror unleashed on this small town. Recommended for anyone who enjoys a good, quick werewolf tale with a slightly different spin. |

Prepare to lose your mind | In my opinion, The Young Ones especially are absolutely essential viewing. Especially for Americans, as they tend to labour under the impression that the English are all prim and proper. Can you decide if the gentleman is a driving instructor from Johannesburg, or really a vampire? Little Britain does nothing to preserve what is left of your sanity, with material that is often off-colour and off-the-wall.
Those comfortable around "alternative" British humour will like it. Those who have never encountered it before should realize that the jokes are as much in the context and the timing as they are in the situation or the words. These are NOT sitcoms.
As much as I like both the series, I'm only giving this four stars because they simply don't go together. There are much better pairings. I wouldn't suggest waiting for anyone to fix that, though. |
Protects and is slim. | It protects what needs to be protected. The case keeps the phone from sliding off of any surface. It's slim enough not to be bulky. Great value. |
I love Fit Flops & have never had an issue | I love Fit Flops & have never had an issue. This particular pair rubbed in between my big toe & 2nd toe & made it sore & bleed. Very uncomfortable & could not wear. I am so disappointed. I missed the date to return them by 1 day! |
Best from Christie Golden So Far | Being an avid World of Warcraft fan with the game as well as the lore, I have read every book from the Warcraft universe and WoW. Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War exceeded all my expectations. This is a great book and a must read for any fan. |
Pay attention to temp | People complain all the time it doesn't work for them.. Hey unlike the person who did a boiling water and bathing the rye berries to sterilize. I just added spores and soaked the ryes till they were moist in distilled water and sealed the Glad bag to test my luck. I keep temp at night at 68 and day time at 72. Guess what? Bad fungi form at around 75 and up in temp. Keep the temp between 68 to 74 and you will get good results. Within 5 days I began seeing mycelium and still growing more each day. :) Not my first time buying from this seller and having good results. As far as date of age on rye. Well mycelium don't know or care about it as long as they can feed on it. Got it! |
Have a trip high into the thrilling world of crime | Ten thrillers, all from Columbia. Enjoy them one by one or two by two.
THE DEEP
Looking for morphine and a Spanish treasure in the sea around the Bermudas. Sharks added, but they are just nice friendly meddlers.
JAGGED EDGE
A crime of money disguised as a crime of passion, jealousy and love in the good rich society of San Francisco. How surprising facts can be when you look at them with a twisted mind.
...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
A classic for sure about American justice: it is all rotten and unredeemable. Too bad for you the young! In prison where you shouldn't be you will be raped and whatever may happen next and you will have to die, . . . because you're innocent. Justice has to justify its existence.
ABSENCE OF MALICE
The case of journalism as the whistle blower about anything, any crime. What happens when the press-accused person is innocent? What happens if the prosecutor is convinced beyond any doubt he is always right? What happens if the accused has the means to repay that press back for the service?
MONEY TRAIN
This one is funny and it is the accusation of bureaucrats when they become endowed with any authority. They are born tyrants and they will die tyrants . . . or in prison.
AGAINST ALL ODDS
The daughter of a rich family is running away from her lover. He hires a football star who is being harassed by some coach out of his team to look for her. The football star finds her in some Maya ruins in Mexico, or near by. She comes back but the other characters of the story do not get it that easy-going free-wheeling way.
TO DIE FOR
Nicole Kidman carries this pale imitation of Twin Peaks, and so many other stories about a town and their hidden secrets, otherwise it would not have gone very far. She is great, that actress who was still very young.
A SOLDIER'S STORY
A nasty racial crime in an all black (private and NCOs) unit in 1944 (all Commissioned Officers are white . . . OF COURSE) brings an investigating captain from Washington. He is black. You can imagine the situation in a small town in Louisiana where they had never seen a black officer before and what's more to investigate a crime in which some white citizens and white officers are suspected. Gosh things can go wrong at times.
RED ROCK WEST
Hobos, simple moneyless travelers, criminals escaping justice, bounty hunters, hit men and sheriffs, all in the same basket eating one another's faces. All that for what's left of a million dollars. Going in and out of the little city of Red Rock, to finally hit the railroad, Jack, west if possible. There might be one survivor after all.
UNDER SUSPICION
We move to Brighton, England, and a nasty ex-cop turned private investigator cheating with the law to help men get a divorce with some alleged, but fake, adulterous liaison. He liaises all right but two people end up dead and he gets nearly hanged. And the culprit couple manages to get away to Miami, the paradise of serial killers like Dexter. We were in 1959-60. That's more than half a century ago.
Enjoy the films. They are entertaining and distractive, I mean they distract your mind away from serious problems like ISIS and other terrorist crimes like an English citizen beheading an American journalist with a butcher knife in front of an Internet camera.
Dr Jacques COULARDEAU |
it was in great shape. The school and I were very satisfied ... | The book was purchased to replace a book that was damaged by my son and it belonged to the school's library. When I received the book, it was in great shape. The school and I were very satisfied with the book. The delivery time was not very long either. |
This case should hold all items, not most of them! DUH! | It is a solid device. Only seems to have one flaw, it lacks correct amount of space to store power cord. Everything else fits inside this strong case. The case strength is exceptionally thick plastic. Hard to break. |
So Cute and comfy But so CHEAP | They fit comfortably. Two weeks in the tips are coming off from one day of playing with my kids on the grass. Im so disappointed. So embarrassing. Thus far the boots I have bought on amazon have all been under $30 not including shipping and they have all been disappointments quality wise. Also, they squeak but I wasn't too much tripping on that. |
Very reliable Transprotation | I purchased this car new. It has served me very well, and with very few problems. A fuel pump replacement at 115,000. miles. Other than that, it has been a very reliable performer. |
Good product bad shipping package | Placed order for eight canisters of this product. They shipped in two packages. The package with two canisters was in good shape. The box that contained the other six had damage to four of the six canisters. I was able to salvage the product. Where the sides of the canister connected to the metal base they all broke loose. There was no exterior damage to the shipping carton only to the product its self. |

Eclectically indescribable | Elvis Oye, a sixteen year old wanna be Elvis impersonator, lives in Lagos, Nigeria and struggles simply to get by in an environment filled with poverty and violence. Graceland follows the story of his life, starting out in the present (the year 1983) and alternating from past (as far back as 1972) to present to the years in between. Estranged-father Sunday, an unemployed alcoholic, lives with Comfort, having never gotten over the death of Elvis' mother, due to cancer, years before. Although the underlying theme seems to be "getting by in spite of bleak circumstances," Elvis never gives up on trying to find his way in the world. He carries a keepsake from his mother, her journal, with him wherever he goes, which is typically around town trying to find odd jobs to pay for food and shelter. While making some unconventional friendships, he ends up in an almost staggering amount of sad, bizarre and almost unbelievable circumstances, sometimes involving illegal activities. Rape, murder, drug trafficking, human organ trafficking and torture, all come into play in this unusual story. The type of speech some of the characters use is interesting and helps draw the reader into the story. Each chapter begins with either a recipe (think Like Water for Chocolate) or facts about a medicinal herb (and in one case the Islamic call to prayer) and information about rituals involving the Kola nut (think The Shipping News's similar pre-chapter info on nautical knots). The bleak atmosphere and slum life is reminiscent of that in A Fine Balance. Those who are not put off by the seemingly hopeless circumstances will enjoy Angela's Ashes (non-fiction). |
Great product but was missing parts | Great product but was missing parts. Mine didn't come with a key set for some reason, and didn't have the rail clamp for other pistols just the HK clamp. Luckily I a friend of mine had extra parts. |
They are nice... but a little odd fitting. | I always wear Danskin tights. The convertible part is perfectly great! The top of the tights are a little off. They aren't as long as I feel like they usually are. Overall, they will work. |
Easy to assemble-- no screws or nails | I can't say enough about this rack. I am bragging to everyone and am putting it on my facebook for others to see. It is holding 21 pairs of shoes, 5 pairs of short topped boots, and 2 pairs of slippers. I am very impressed. Easy to assemble-- no screws or nails. Easy directions to follow. Comes with built in zippered front to keep out the dust. |
Color, size, all wrong | The bathing was suit was too big even when I followed the size chart. Also the color is nothing like the picture. The color is actually a dark green for the bottom "mermaid" portion.
The only good thing was that the package arrived before scheduled and customer service was quick to respond. However, they gave me a partial refund of $3, which is just ridiculous. |
Pro Guard 7 Air Filters | I've had this air filter on my Turbo Diesel For a number of years and have been very pleased with its performance and filtration capability. I also run a pre-filter sleeve over it which extends the time between required cleaning. |
Works great with the powder measure. | This charge bar is much easier to setup than the discs. Just turn the knob to change powder weight. Keeps charges within .1gn. Threw over 50 charges of W230 powder and never over .1gn. |
Highly recommend. My 4 year old loved designing her own ... | Highly recommend. My 4 year old loved designing her own jewelry and this kept her attention the whole time. Will be buying more for birthday presents! |
Excellent Product! Buy It! | Smooth action, substantial feel, well made... There is nothing cheap about this handle! |
Looks great, works even better. | I love this mouse, it's way more responsive than the one I had that was one generation older. The colors are beautiful, and it worked great just plugging it into my hp laptop. Logitech has turned into my favorite wireless mouse seller due to quality products at a reasonable price. |
Quality Cast Iron Pan that is made in the USA! | This cast iron pan is the best! It works really well and I have a glass top stove. And the best part its made in the USA! |
Balancing is more luck; not technique. | The cost of an easy to understand set of instructions on how to balance the camera would cost the Opteka less than 10 cents (or just post it on the website). A couple of informal YouTube videos filmed by a teenager using an iPhone and narrated by some Opteka engineers providing recommendations on how to balance the unit would be invaluable. The fact that neither of these exists seems to indicate that the act of balancing the camera is more luck than technique. I can balance it 65% but it is still very wobbly and would not be sufficient for a video filmed while walking indoors. I am trying to balance a Canon T2i with an 18-55mm stock lens. |
This will be my second year in the snow with this exhaust & its starting to rust pretty significantly. Im guessing 2yrs at the m | For the price its obviously cheap. The clamps that came with it was to small so I just welded it in. This will be my second year in the snow with this exhaust & its starting to rust pretty significantly. Im guessing 2yrs at the most before it starts blowing holes through the pipes. |
Don't Get it STAY AWAY | I got this DVD player 2 weeks ago and it is already dead! - It is very slow to load a dvd or eject a DVD ~ 20 seconds. Then when I had issues with it not recognizing a DVD I whent on the network and downloaded a firmware upadate. This then killed all my HD capacity and now I only have regular dvd playback. Toshiba support said wait for another firmware update to see if it could fix it but did not say when probably a few months or more. Oh how I wasted $500 on this junk! |
Great Deal for Four Adapters | Getting four adapters for this price was a great deal! The adapters all worked. We used them all while in Paris because we all had phones, tablets, Kindles, etc. Definitely recommend! |
great service fast delivery | I was pleased with the customer service, my only issue is I had my 20 year old son swap the hose and this one does not seem to stay on. |
Half of the Season's DVDs are missing from the case! | When I opened up volume 2 of this Second Season, the case was completely empty. No DVD's inside. I don't know if I will ever receive a replacement. |
Adds four USB plugs to computer, must have for ultrabooks | Like having four extra ports installed, just make sure to get a charger for devices that have power and data ports. It installs fast and has push buttons for toggling which device to use. With media drives going away in favor of external drives we need all the USB ports we can get. I have a mouse, printer, external HDD, and blu ray drive hooked up and run all four at once with no issues. Must have for ultrabooks. |

Solid Storm Trooper iphone case | Turns your 5S into a Storm Troopers com device, really entertaining, not life altering but standard HIGH QUALITY Magpul product.
Nice and burly feeling while being slim enough to remain attractive. Very much like an athlete girlfriend, strong, solid, but pretty and slender. |
TOMMYS GOT ME A DANCINNN | Thanks for getting me a dancing again again tom
if i had a bee bite every time i have sung these songs
i would bee a jar of sweet honey
your mamma brought you up good
now i go to dance with my sister
pray for me tommy pray for me |
All this from one author? | I picked up this book on a whim, not really knowing what to expect, and I was very pleasantly surprised.
While the overall structure is really nothing new (story a links to story b, b to c, etc., etc.), and Mitchell seems to have a flair for Hollywood plots, I was blown away by the range of his writing. This reads more like a shared-universe anthology than the work of one author. Crime stories, ghost stories, sci-fi, magical realism, social commentary, love stories - you name it, it's in here, and all seemingly written by a master of the genre.
While there are flaws, this is a debut that shows an overabundance of talent. If his second novel is as good as this, we've got one heck of an author on our hands |

(These would be perfect for that | These aren't even made for human feet--way too wide unless you have managed to break both feet and are looking to dress up your casts. (These would be perfect for that, though.) |
A Compelling Political Fable | Flidderbugs - A Compelling Political Fable
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
Author: Jonathan Gould
Format: Kindle
Making his way to Fleedenhall through the densely packed leaves on his side of the tree, Kriffle mentally prepares for the upcoming debate with Fargeeta - daughter of the leader of the Quadrigons. For years, his own tribe - the Triplifers - have been at the mercy of the Quadrigons rule and their complete control of the Shears. Without the coveted Shears, Kriffle's side of the tree has overgrown making it barely livable and almost impassable. Life has truly been challenging but Kriffle knows he has the truth on his side. In fact, all around him the proof stares him in the face - leafs on the Krephiloff tree all have three points on them. How the Quadrigons have convinced their followers that the leafs have four points is beyond him but it does not matter. The truth is clear. Unfortunately, what Kriffle doesn't yet realize yet is that there are many truths.
Just as he did in "Doodling", Jonathan Gould once more demonstrates his expert command at creating adult fables. In Flidderbugs, simple insects living their simple lives drive home universal messages regarding our daily political reality. So convinced are both Flidderbug parties to their own truths, neither takes even a moment to consider the other side may have a valid perspective. Afterall, one need only count the points on a leaf and know the answer or is the issue more complex? Some tribe members don't even bother to look at the leafs anymore and just take direction from their tribe's leaders echoing whatever it is that they are told. As a result, control of all of their futures lie with those who live on the borders willing to be swayed one way or another depending on who has the evidence and the best argument. Ironically, these polarized positions have the unintended result of threatening the very lives of all Flidderbugs.
Gould is truly a master in this genre. While directly applicable to politics, the messages here are also applicable to everyday personal interactions particularly with those who one may not see eye to eye with. The key is not assuming the other person has ill or negative intent; that there may in fact be another truth. As a further bonus, this book reads well for all ages making it truly enjoyable for everyone.
At $0.99 on Kindle, Flidderbugs should not be missed!

Fits TWS Gen 3 Dog Leg | Great rear sight for Texas Weapon Systeps Gen 3 Dog Leg top cover. Gives a nice large rear peep. Good for 50 yards and closer, but capable of accurately making longer shots. Lower 1/4 cowitness with my Vortex Crossfire red dot. I really like that you can asjust it for windage, and it looks like elevation too, but I go to the Front sight for that. |
Here's Hank series - an inspiration! | A great series. I bought this series to inspire a beautiful, clever little boy (who happens to have dyslexia) to read. We take turns in reading sections and he is enjoying this immensely. Well done Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver on a great idea. |
To short to expensive. A Luke warm attempt | This is not a novella. It's a short story. While better than beauty. Still contrived crap. Anita, Nathaniel and Micah are going to Zerbroski's BBQ. A family friendly gathering. A nice little slice of Normal life. If you go into this expecting a supernatural skirmish. You will disappointed. Because it has none of what makes Anita Blake books so awesome. It does have her two main sweeties but that is just about it.
Mostly it is Anita clashing with traditional cops, Nathaniel dealing with his Brandon persona and Micah doing what he does best defusing the situation. And a side helping of chastisement from LKH about accepting unusual relationships.
Seriously I get it LKH people need to be more open to alternative lifestyles. I also get that many cops are pretty traditional. So please stop. Also please stop describing in detail how your main characters look every time Anita sees them. We don't need to know every single stitch of clothing. We don't need a back story with every single character every single book. But I digress
This was better than beauty because it's not just an erotica short story. But this is so not worth $3. Maybe $0.99. |
Readers will eagerly await the next installment of this super-charged series | Michael Vey and his band of electric friends, the Electroclan, have escaped the Elgen compound but find that the powerful group is still after them. Michael's powers grow in this sequel to MICHAEL VEY: THE PRISONER OF CELL 25, along with his leadership skills, as they face everything from explosions and electrically-charged rats to missing family members and life-threatening rescues.
When the adventure begins, Michael, his girlfriend Taylor, several electric friends and a couple of non-powered ones are attempting to hide in their small Idaho town. They are trying to regroup and study data that one electric teen downloaded from the Elgen's mainframe so they can return and rescue Michael's captured mom. Then Jack's house is burned down, Elgen guards are waiting at Ostin's, and Taylor's family is in danger. They try McKenna's family when a mysterious cell phone is given to Michael. It can only be turned on by electric people, and a voice tells him he wants to help.
However, the Electroclan has learned to trust no one and formulates their own plan. A high-speed car chase with an explosion is just one of the dangers they encounter, but they are able to get to Peru with help from the mysterious man on the phone.
In the meantime, Hatch is organizing his new army led by several electric kids who idolize him. One is Tara, Taylor's evil twin. They still have Michael's mother and are building a race of electricity-creating superrats, retraining Elgen guards from all over the world for Hatch's world domination plan.
Unthwarted by the jungle they find, Michael and the Electroclan make their way into the Elgen compound for the rescue. They are recaptured, and the scenes with the rats will keep readers turning pages quickly to find out how they escape. But one member of the Electroclan must stay and face Hatch to let the others escape, and Michael steps in. Hatch has let his issues with Michael become very personal and devises a particularly horrible torture and death for him. But everyone has underestimated Michael's powers, both electric and otherwise.
Those new to Richard Paul Evans' series may want to read the first book to get up to speed on the electric powers and language, but it's not entirely necessary in order to enjoy this fast-paced, taut thriller. The members of the Electroclan are vivid characters with strengths and weaknesses, and seem like everyday teens --- except for their powers. There are several techno-spy-type series in stores now; this will appeal to those fans but also to many teens looking for good science fiction featuring heroes their own age. The surprises build in every chapter, and readers will eagerly await the next installment of this super-charged series.

I have bought both the Gold Star and the HOT SYSTEM LEDs for my camper and I believe these Gold Star are a better quality. Bough | Bought these to replace some of the 1141s in my camper. These are just as bright as the incandescent bulbs and I think have a pleasant white color temp. I have bought both the Gold Star and the HOT SYSTEM LEDs for my camper and I believe these Gold Star are a better quality. Bought six Gold Star LEDs and all six worked, and bought six HOT SYSTEM LEDs, only five of them worked out of the box.
Update 07/20/2015 The brighter Gold Star LEDs draw 0.25 amps (250 milliamps) each, the HOT SYSTEM LEDs draw 0.15 amps (150 milliamps). |
They should be in prison! | This account of the brutal ,lying ,greedy, down right evil Clintons is a must read for men as well as women. Republicans and Democrats will find eye opening information. The authors have done their homework, any claims that this book is a pack of lies are simple minded attempts to deceive and discredit, tricks learned at Grandma Hillary's knee! |
I am enjoying this series | I have read the 1st 3 books now and I find myself becoming more engrossed in the story as we learn more about the characters in the books. A good read. |

Great tool for shooting small products | This is exactly what I have been looking for in a photography shooting box. I shoot small products to use on my blog and on ebay and love this unit for giving me just the perfect light for taking those hard shots with small products. The PS5 is lightweight and could be very portable if needed. I leave mine set up on a table in my home office and must say that it does everything I need! |

Bugs, Worms Died, Low Capacity. Get a Composter Instead. | I really wanted to like this product. As a four person household - two parents, two kids - we produce a lot of scraps from cooking. I didn't want to throw all that away, so we debated between getting a composter and getting a worm farm. We were attracted to the worm farm because of its quicker turnaround, but now we're getting a composter. Here are the issues we've had:
1. Bugs. They bill this as something you can have inside your house, but there is no way that is true. In addition to having worms in there, we got flies, beetles, and lots and lots of maggots. Maybe they help the composting, I don't know, but my wife would never let me keep this in the house.
2. Die off. Which leads me to my second point - all of the worms died over the winter. We have a large outdoor shed where we stored the worm farm over the winter. Granted it was not as warm as a house or even a garage would be, but it was sheltered from the snow and somewhat sheltered from the snow. As you all know, the winter of 2014-15 was a harsh one for the mid-Atlantic and northeast, and when I checked my worm farm in the spring everything had died. Now I get to buy more worms and start all over. No thanks.
3. Capacity. This system simply does not work for a family. We filled up our bins much faster than they were broken down by the worms, even in the summer months. We finally started throwing our scraps out again, because the worms could not keep up. I'd rather get a 5 or 7 cubic foot composter and not need to worry about this problem.
So in short, if you're a single person living in a temperate part of the country where the winters aren't too cold, this system should work for you. Anyone else, I'd say spend your money on a composter instead. |
