WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

I cannot believe that a 12 year old can sing like that! It held me in a zombie-like trance and when it was over, I couldn't stop thinking about THAT VOICE! My only gripe is that she needed better composure when speaking to the audience and her red suit was HIDEOUS!!! Who picked the poor girl's clothes???

but I think for the price you paid this nice earring jackets

Yes, its not that big, but I think for the price you paid this nice earring jackets

Product latch is not made to last

The spring that holds the latch in place came loos in it's inaccessible en-closer after a few days. I had to remove a few links to get it to fit my wrist. I tossed the links thinking I was keeping the band indefinitely. My loss in more ways than one.

Looks so good in our living room!

Love this cabinet as well as all our Sauder furniture! Nice and heavy duty. looks great! lots of Functional storage space... Great company

Don't waste your money!!

100% waste of money. The shirt was small to begin with and shrunk about two sizes once washed. I really like the feel and design but I just can't wear it now because it looks like it's from baby GAP.

Amazing Value, American Classic

This book is absolutely amazing. I believe it is an American classic, as Koch gives insight into how to be a profitable business person with integrity and morality. His life and his company is a great example for everyone in business.

MAD AT MYSELF....FOR BUYING THIS

I Don't know what Martin Donovan was hoping to achieve in this visually stunning but emotionally empty piece of garbage. There's so little dialogue that when it comes, you expect something revealing? Forget it...Mary Stuart Masterson, Fionnula Flannagan and Hart Bochner are totally ineffectual, and the plot is so stupid and threadbare, one has to wonder who put up the money for this one! DO NOT BUY...DO NOT RENT......A WASTE ALL AROUND!

easy to set up and use

Just big enough, easy to set up and use, and fast. Only draw backs are the camera turns on by itself all the time and A drawing thing pops up on the screen and it took me a while to figure out how to get it off the screen, wish I could get rid of it all together (the ap for drawing)

These plants are great

These plants are great the sprung up fast and the plant didn't grow all over the place like other cucumbers I've planted. I also noticed that they taste better almost like a melon flavor.

As with all this author's book - excellent!! This one points out how easily a society is lead down the path a government, a legal system and the self adulating media can take a topic!

A captivating page turner!

Really enjoyed this book! It is creepy how something like this could really happen. The story had a lot of good old human connection and kindness but also survival instincts and how scary that can be. Overall, great book.

I needed a bigger case for my washburn lyon guitar. and this case is the perfect size. it fits just nice and snug as it should. and the price and quality assume .

Don't buy it thinking you'll use the long strap

It's really pretty, really big, and the hardware on the long strap is defective. One side was detached when I unpacked it. Other than that, it seems fine!

Pretty great headphones

Pretty great headphones. Very comfortable padding, stylish, and great sound. They fit my large head without any trouble. Only issue I encountered is that my ears were slightly larger than could fit inside the padding, which leave me some discomfort when removing the headphones after a few hours listening session. I don't consider myself to have large ears, so worth considering if you do.

The Introspective Detective

I enjoyed Death in Sardinia, the latest in the series, so went back to this first Inspector Bordelli mystery. It's a good read. Bordelli is a unique character. His unorthodox procedures and flashbacks to Resistance days create a refreshing dimension to the typical police character. Bordelli's friends are an equally interesting set of colorful characters. I was happy to meet them here as I liked them very much in the latest book.. The story overall is moderately paced but held my interest throughout. The "solution" is clever and the ending satisfying. I've become a Bordelli fan and look forward to reading the other books in the series.

"What is a good adventure without a good man?"

Rate 5 out of 5 White Roses. What is a good adventure without a good man? There are many rules that a proper, well-bred young lady must follow to be acceptable in polite society. It's a shame that Lady Calpurnia Hartwell is thoroughly sick of them all and has decided to make a new set of rules to obey. Her whole life, she has abided by the rules of etiquette and what does she have to show for it? She's lonely; she's practically an old maid, and even worse she's considered to have "the most pristine reputation of any member of the ton". Why can't she have some fun adventures for herself? Callie knows she has crossed a line she cannot return from the moment she enters the Marquess of Ralston's house in the middle of the night and then asks him to kiss her. What she didn't know was how that one request would change her whole life, or for that matter, his. Gabriel St. John would never have figured that prim and proper Calpurnia Hartwell would ever step one little toe out of line. But after that kiss he keeps finding her in the most... precarious of situations. With all the fire she's playing with she might just get burned. The girl practically needs a keeper, someone to keep her out of trouble. And maybe Gabriel is just the one to take up the job. ~*~*~*~*~ Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake is positively delicious. It is always great to see characters be as strong as they are in spite of their personal vulnerabilities. I fell absolutely in love with Callie and Gabriel and found myself rooting for them the moment they were introduced. Not to mention there's a sexual charge between the two of them that will definitely make you quiver. While the template of the story may seem like any other, the story definitely isn't. The damsel doesn't need rescuing, she just needs a "partner in crime". Nine Rules is a keeper and definitely a book that deserves to be read over and over. Hugs & Kisses, Everyone!

Like a sherpa guiding your climb...

This is my first review ever. Reviews can be very subjective to a reader depending on where they are in their own lives, as they interpret what they read or listen. Please forgive me if I am wrong in anyway. So, if you are at a point in your life where you are seeking to clear the confusion not so much "out" there but more "within" your thinking, then this book and Nandhi's music is for you. Once what goes go on "within" is taken care of, whats "out" there falls in to place on its own. "Ancient Intent" he speaks of and sings about can only be experienced. It cannot be explained with logic or acquired like any material thing we are so accustomed to. So, what use is to read or listen to him you ask?. Well two things, as I see it. #1 is knowing the destination. In life, knowing exactly where you want to go is key. Otherwise, one could roam about forever. Nandhi's books and music can help with that. #2 is knowing how to get there. Like an experienced sherpa who can help climb the tallest peaks, Nandhi can help guide you to the destination. Like any expedition, guide can only help but you still have to do the hard part of taking part in the expedition and doing the climb yourself. Last but the most important part - "mother nature" has to bless your journey so you can reach the destination and return safely. No point in getting there if you cannot return to enjoy the fruits of your accomplishment;) If your intent is pure and serious minded about the destination, you will be blessed to summit it and thrive in the glory afterwards. Make patience your dearest friend along this journey, should you take it.

ELEMENTAL CASCADE (FUEL TO THE FIRE BOOK 3)

This is the final book in this series and this one I just wasn't as thrilled with and had to push myself through til about half way through then it seems like that's where it picked up the most. I enjoyed a few of the characters and lives they had but one for sure just wasn't my cup of Grizzly and if you read this then you will see what happens and what I'm talking about...May your reading journeys be interesting and fun til next time watch the skies and watch those Grizzlies...

These work well at far range, but the Bluetooth is a little heavy and pulls them a bit when going faster than a walk.

I went from feeling like my car had a jet engine on the roof, to being back to feeling like there is nothing on the roof again! If you have a bike rack and don't have a fairing, highly recommended!

Great backpack, lightweight & nice quality, can really be used by anyone for lots of purposes

I know they state that this is a 'kid's" sized backpack, but it's actually pretty generously sized! Anyone could really use this, on an adult, it would just look smaller than average but I don't think it would look silly if a grown up used it (it's 16 1/2" tall). The inside of the backpack is very spacious, and there are two front zipper compartments on the front as well. The backpack is made from a nylon material, which seems to be quite durable and is also water resistant. The straps are adjustable, and there are two water bottle holders on each side of the backpack. This backpack has infinite uses, from camping to hiking, overnight trips, sports practice and more this is a great little backpack. The slightly negative thing I could say about this backpack, is that it's a bit hard to get it properly folded back into it's little zipper pouch. It's not impossible, but like many other things, once it comes out it's hard to get back in perfectly. The backpack is extremely lightweight as well, making it ideal for people traveling or carrying it for a long period of time. Please note that I was offered to purchase this backpack at a promotional price. I agreed to test it out at home, then leave an objective review as to my personal experience using it, as well as my thoughts on quality, style and ease of use. These are my opinions, thanks.

I can still hear snoring and talking. W.T.F.?

Seems like a quality product, so why one star? Because the performance is the same as the foam earplugs I have. The foam earplugs I get for free at work cancel noise just as well it seems, and for 250$ I am absolutely dumbfounded there are this many good reviews. Do you people just like the novelty of having a new piece of tech? I mean, seriously WTF? I bought these because I am at my wits end being crammed into a modular trailer in Afghanistan with 3 guys, 2 of the loudest snorers I have ever heard and one who chains smokes and has emphysema, coughing a lung up all night. My foam earplugs let that sound through, and guess what - so do these. Last night I still heard these guys and their annoying racket, and had to turn on a white noise app to get to sleep... and guess what? That blocked the sound as well as my regular earbuds I used before, but I don't wanna fall asleep to static. I wanted silence. Which is why I was willing to pay 250. I can tell you this - there is a reviewer who stated these block out sound from a 747. I'm calling BS. Im a pilot. My engine produces about 120 decibels in parking and it aint no 747... and I can definitively say that after last nights performance, if these don't block out these jackasses it aint blocking any turbine engines. Save your money - these make a quiet room quieter. Thats it. Extremely disappointed, and returning immediately. I can think of many other things to spend 250 on.

I love Dr, Seuss but not this

I love the wacky-ness of dr. Seuss books but this was not a favorite. MAybe it's a matter of preference but the board books that say "by Dr. Seuss" are much more fun.

Wow, what an awsome idea.

I really liked the idea of having all their hits on one DVD. I love the Backstreet Boys and I just had to get this DVD, and now I have watched it over and over againg, because I just cna't get enough of the five from Florida.

and it is beautiful. The craftsmanship is wonderful

I received my Kattee bag actually early, and it is beautiful. The craftsmanship is wonderful. I have been getting so many compliments on this bag. It does fit my 14" Lenova Yoga laptop, so that makes my happy. I love that it comes with a long shoulder strap, so that I can use it as a messenger bag. I really like the style that I picked out. I will be looking at more Kattee bags in the future.

My friends like it... I like it too

I get comments from visitors and they all ask me where I got it. It works great and I really like it. I recommend mounting it to the wall because there is some stress when pulling the bags out. It is a fingerprint magnet but not that bad. I find it really useful.

still sporting it... a year later!

fits well, easy to clean and always creates conversation. purchased this a year ago and still looks new, even better, my laptop keys are pristine.

A wonderful inspiring book

This is a great book! The photos are wonderful and well done. It is an inspiring story about people who care about animals!

Final answer in all-environment pens.

These pens do it all, and in any environment. They used to cost a fortune but no longer. Great pens.

They are a lot darker in the picture and therefore do not match my interior as I had hoped.

Lasted for over 2 years and still going strong

More than 2 years since I bought these I am writing this review as I am looking for a replacement for the third aux cable that's died this week that isn't from this company. My two devices hooked up via this pair of cables I bought so long ago are still going strong; no audio degradation, no static, no damage to the cable at all (and I have not been nice to them). They've been locked cars at well over 100 degrees, constantly plugged and unplugged into multiple devices, headsets, and speakers. This product is well worth the price

Didn't Want Them to End

I've never written a review but I had to when I finished this series. I absolutely fell in love with these characters so much that I really hated reading the last book. I didn't want it to end. I have to be honest and say that Kiera kind of got on my nerves during the first book with her indecisiveness but I continued on and the books just got better and better. Thank you to S.C. Stephens for writing these books - you are very talented. And a special thank you for letting Kiera nd Kellen stand by each other so strong in the last book. Their characters deserved that!!!

This lasted about 2 minutes on the door. Once they got it down they destroyed it and there was fuzz all over my apartment. They loved it but it didn't give them the jumping i wanted for them. NOT a tight fit on a door frame!

Perfect tool for the job.

I make wood fishing lures. When painting patterns it is helpful to have a template so you can replicate the pattern numerous times. I built a vacuum device with a coffee can and a shop vac. I drilled holes in the top of the can and connected the vac to the bottom side of the can by the use of a PVC fitting. I bought a pack of clear plastic report covers from the office supply and cut the sheet into quarters. I then lay a lure blank on top of the can and lay the 1/4 sheet on top of the blank. Using the hottest setting on the heat gun, I heat the plastic until it "slumps" over the blank. Then I turn on the vac which pulls the soft plastic tightly around the lure blank. Using the heat gun and a dowel I continue to rub the soft plastic around the can lid with both the vac and heat gun going for about 10 seconds. Remove heat and let the vac run for about 5 seconds until the plastic stiffens back up. The whole operation takes only about 15 seconds. This heat gun is the perfect tool for the job.

Beautifully Haunting, Exquisite and Fun

Wow! What a cool song. As I understand the movie Maleficent, this piece is absolutely perfect. It's both fun and haunting in a playful evil sort of way. It must have been a blast to have made it. Great job! I have to admit that I am a Lana Del Rey fan, so I may be biased.

We really like that this latch is heavy duty and it works well but we were hoping that the long handle could be switched to the other side so it could fit the side of the fence we wanted it on. Maybe there is a way and we just couldn't figure it out.

Super useful, simple innovation

Super useful, simple innovation. This size is pretty good for some cellphone accessories (a few charger cables, car & wall adapters, headphones) and a ~12-14000mAH battery pack.

Don't buy the negative reviews - this is a great laptop.

I have been a mac guy since before they switched to intel. I had a very well loved Macbook Pro that died at a very inopportune time. I needed a laptop quick but did not have the money for a macbook so I bought this (it was just about the cheapest laptop in the store.) Now, I should say, this isn't my main computer. I have a mac desktop in my office. I'm not making graphics, editing my podcast, or cutting video on this thing. But for almost everything else I do - I love this laptop. The screen is beautiful, the keyboard is awesome, it has the best trackpad I've ever used not made by a company with a fruity name. As someone who writes a ton it's so nice to have such a light laptop I can take anywhere. So many people have decried the power on this laptop - I don't get it. I use some pretty heavy duty cloud software (like IDEs) on this and its handled it well. I've used it with Chrome Remote Desktop to do graphics work on my mac and it's handled it. I routinely use it attached to a 1080p screen with several tabs open on each screen and music in the background and it handles it like a champ. I almost didn't buy this because of reviews that said it was wimpy - I'm really glad I did. This is my first chromebook - it probably won't be my last. I was skeptical - now, I'm practically a chromebook cheerleader. This is an awesome second computer.

Descripciones muy buenas

Me gusta el estilo con que escribe Lisa. Me transporta a los capitulos con las descripciones que realiza, describiendo paisajes

Nice variety of flavors and brews

Nice variety of flavors and brews. My husband likes flavored coffee, I do not so this was a perfect combination for us. There were some complaints about poor packing and broken cups, luckily we did not have a problem with either. We would definitely order again!

" A constant in our house "

My wild birds adore this food! I order it regularly and even though it is a bit pricey, there is no waste as the birds enjoy everything in it. Highly recommended.

Still better than slicing a finger though

Still getting used to them. Because visibility is limited, sometimes i worry about them being more in the way than help. Still better than slicing a finger though.

I loved this story for it was a breath taking

I loved this story for it was a breath taking, mesmerizing, spellbinding and intriguing story. I couldn't put this down until I finished it. A tempestuous love story that delivers a highly charged story. It was full of passionate characters and a marvelous emotions. Hold the reader from the beginning to the end. A real treasure and keeper. Debi Allen

Two broken people fight for their beautiful, forbidden love. Fabulous student/teacher romance!

Student/teacher romances are my favourite theme in the romance/erotica world and this book was an excellent addition to my favourite list. Illicit was written beautifully and had characters that were complex, damaged and deserving of finding love. It was easy for me to root for Lynn and Carson, because despite everything that was working against them, they truly seemed destined to be together. They completed each other. They understood each other. They cared deeply for each other, even when they couldn't be together and when they were together, the chemistry and sexual tension between them was hot and intense. Lynn and Carson met before school started. Lynn was feeling undesirable and ready to throw caution to the wind. Carson wanted to act like a college kid for just one more night before he started adulting at his new job come Monday morning. They shared an instant connection and although the sexual attraction was palpable from the moment they met, they connected emotionally and intellectually as well. As incredible as their night on the beach was, Lynn fled in the middle of the night, sure shed never see this gorgeous, intelligent man again. Much to her surprise she saw him on her first day of her senior year, at the front of her history class. They immediately try to push their feelings away, knowing now that any relationship between them could get them both into a great deal of trouble, but their feelings are stronger than they anticipated and the temptation is too strong. Lynn and Carson struggle throughout the school year to figure out some kind of relationship that can work between them, without irreversibly damaging their futures, but the mixed signals Lynn is feeling from Carson is driving her mad. When the angst and uncertainty starts to affect her school and home life, Lynn finds herself hitting rock bottom very quickly. Will Carson be by her side to help her put the pieces of her life back together or will he walk away hoping that hes doing whats best for both of them? This story was heartbreaking and gut-wrenching at many points. Not only in the romantic relationship between Lynn and Carson, but Lynns family life was troubling and destructive and Carsons past hung over him like a dark shadow of bitterness and anger. The steam between Lynn and Carson was phenomenal and their relationship, although not perfect or smooth sailing by any stretch of the imagination, was honest, raw, emotional and beautiful. Their love story was filled with angst, drama and all the feels. Lynn was of legal age the entire story. She started the book as an 18 year old and part way through the school year turns 19. Her older age is explained at the beginning of the story. Standalone novel. No cliffhanger. HEA worth waiting for!

Good Machine, Horrible Manual

For the price, I'm happy with this and it will satisfy any of my small wood working needs. The instruction manual however is something absurd. There's no way you'll learn anything from it except maybe what you can discern from the illustrations (they call them 'plans' ). Here's a couple of examples and verbatim: 'The cent of product has no class to adjust soon with single soon two kinds', 'In stallwith adjust this machine current public affairs to cut off the power supply necessarily.' , 'by rule usage rev.' , 'The operation insureses before headstock covers.' , it goes on and on. If you can figure out what any of this is saying you're a sharper person than me. It came with 2 small springs, and 2 little little shim pedestals which I have no clue what for. They're not even in the manual's illustrations.

Good Gift For boyfriends.

Boyfriend loves it, he was like a little boy on Christmas when he got it. Hasn't given him any issue, it seems to be made well!

I was so glad this finally come on a DVD I could buy

I was so glad this finally come on a DVD I could buy. Just the right balance of documentary and actual footage.

Who would sell these?

I can't believe that anyone would even try to sell these!! They fell apart as soon as my nephews began using them. They are connected only by staples, and my nephew was bare skin and got his skin torn! My other nephew's BRAND NEW shirt now has a rip in it. Very low quality even when I used them. DO NOT PURCHASE!!

great soft pads that don't induce sweating

great soft pads that don't induce sweating. Only reason 4 star is because of break in period with all memory foam products. I find it just slightly too hard of a foam.

SALT FREE is not IMPOSSIBLE

All products were GREAT!!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!! They really helped my friend with her struggle to help her husband back to enjoying life again, by getting off his "poor me" salt free life style. He is doing much better. Thanks again. Now I am looking for sodium free baking soda!!!!!

Growing up with the perception that thick and luscious towels are best, I hadn't been able to find the perfect towel. I decided to try this Turkish bath sheet, and absolutely love it! It is softer than I expected, takes the water off my body quickly, and dries very quickly, washes well, and can even wrap my body with it. I look forward to getting more!

Down the Darkest Alley

Have heard a lot about Bruen and decided to give him a shot. I like noir - Ellroy, Vachss, those guys. There's a sameness to your typical noir hero/antihero, and I'd say Jack Taylor fits that mold. There's not too much of a story here, just a major plot surrounding a few Columbine types (but in Galway, Ireland) and some treacherous priests stealing from the Church's coffers. Also, of course, plenty of betrayals, beating, torture...the works, though Bruen, to his credit, lets the torture be imagined. I think as a writer, he's smart enough to know that long, lingering portrayals of such things move your work into the discreditable realm of torture porn, and if there's one thing that Jack Taylor/Ken Bruen have, it's respect for the written word and for detective fiction. While I enjoyed the book (though "enjoy" might be too strong a term, and I'll probably read more, I didn't quite take to Jack the way I have to Vachss' Burke and some of the other hard-boiled greats. Also, there is a very quirky bit of typesetting in this book - there are no paragraph indents. It is odd, and I can't see a reason for it; some say Bruen's prose is poetic, and sometimes it is. But typesetting a novel as if it were a poem - I just couldn't buy that, though clearly it didn't stop me from reading the book. By the end of the book, with all the maiming that's been done of Jack over previous books (I don't know details, but could pick up bits and pieces of the backstory here and there), I think he's ending up like Smilla at the end of SMILLA'S SENSE OF SNOW, where she's basically held together by band-aids and willpower. Ken Bruen's a talent - and if you like your books dark, I think you'll like this one.

My mismatched mugs look just fine on the mug tree

All six mugs fit perfectly without crowding. It is not necessary to have matching mugs (color or size). My mismatched mugs look just fine on the mug tree.

Looks and sounds great!! Had my mechanic install

Looks and sounds great!! Had my mechanic install,took a couple hours to complete. Definitely feel a difference when getting on the gas! Quicker acceleration. Havent clocked fuel mileage yet.

Rubbermaid Antimicrobial Large Dish Drainer, Black

I bought this for our newly constructed basement bar area to be used along with the Rubbermaid Antimicrobial Large Drain Board, Black that I also purchased from Amazon. It seems to work as advertised, although I will say that because this is being used in a basement bar, it doesn't get the daily use that our upstairs kitchen gets. But the price was good, and I'm happy with it so far!

Old seed, won't germinate

Very poor germination rate on the Reapers and on the Morugas, the Butch-T is even worse in that it didn't sprout at all. This is probably because the package was marked with a 2012 stamp and was sold in 2017! Very old seed indeed. And yes I did get it from california seed and garden.

The screen was extremely dim after adding new batteries. The item was advertised as being new and it absolutely was not! It had old corroded batteries in it and was dusty! Poorly packaged (in beat up original retail box with postage stuck on it) completely exposing what it was. Thanks alot, it was purchased as a gift- surprise ruined.

Time for Women to take charge of their own destiny

Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg is the current "it" business book and centers around women's empowerment in the work place. Sandberg who comes with experience from government, Google, and Facebook has a fascinating path to her positions. This book is a bit anecdotal in parts and maybe because I am a man I can't sympathize with her issues of women in the workplace. Her story is impressive and she does serve as an example for women that they can succeed in the tough rumble and tumble world of business. Nothing new in this book, but message to women that they need to take a more active approach in deterring the path of their career is a good one.

Do what they need to do

I have to press PageDown often, and I use a keyboard tray which I keep tucked under my desk, so I don't see the keys. Finding the letters is easy enough, but not that PageDown key. I put one of the bump dots on the PageDown key, and now I don't have to stop what I'm doing, pull out the tray, find the PageDown, put my finger on it, and push the tray back out. I can instead just quickly identify it by feel.

Color was not accurately described

I bought this tie for my teenaged son. It is nice enough I was just disappointed because it is really pink rather than red as described

Super fun and action packed!

I got the B-Daman Break Bomber Battlefield Set free from Hasbro to try. My kids loved it. They chose to play with it rather than go outside today. They are still playing it and it's now past bed time. Super fun action packed fun for both brother and sister! The goal of winning is simple and even easy for my 4 year old daughter to understand. My 10 year old is having fun teaching his sister how to play and I'm having fun watching! Yay!!

This is going to be a quickie review because most of what I say would lead to spoilers. Renegade picks up right where Mila 2.0 leaves off. I love that Mila allows herself to take chances even when bad things can happen. Hunter is so freaking sweet, its unreal. He does everything he can ot be there for Mila, even after some of the events leave him mad. We also get to meet some new characters. Some of them were pretty great, but a few I wanted to smack around. I mean seriously, manipulating people is not cool. Renegade is action packed. There were a few plot twists that I saw coming since the first book, but overall there were some nice surprises in there. We see characters I never thought wed get a chance to. The ending was the mother of all cliffhangers, and Im excited to see where Driza takes it in the next book. Renegade is a great follow up to Mila 2.0. We finally get the answers to some things, but are definitely left with a few more questions.

liked it with lots of caveats

As a HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS and well-read cynic of anything from organized religion, my expectations for this movie were nil. In fact, I only rented it (having never heard of it before) on the basis of its (perhaps) interesting cinematography, and my interest in period pieces. As a long reader of history and politics, I was frankly impressed that someone, anyone, finally decided to acknowledge that Persia is modern-day Iraq. For all those, I'll just say it, RIGHT WING-NUTS "praying for our president", isn't it ironic that many of you also love this movie, the setting for which "your president" is "prayerfully" destroying? But off my soapbox, I did find the music and the cinematography beautiful. The script was OK; it was a vehicle to tell a story. No movie is going to capture the nuances of any religious text to everyone's satisfaction. Esther seemed a bit silly to me, although the implication was that her early life and her religion had provided her with the wisdom she would later evince. Perhaps casting her as young as she was cast was an attempt to imbue her actions with conviction, although, as one reviewer noted, her conviction was internal. I found Xerxes to be distracting b/c he was so peculiar looking, frankly bordering on Halloweenish. His acting left me unmoved because I found his behavior at odds with what a Persian man should look like. I agree with some reviewers that there are too many accents, and I will also add, skin tones, floating through this movie to get a clear picture of where it is. I know where it is supposed to be, but these minor details would leap out at anyone who can appreciate accuracy. As to the family friendliness of this, I found it highly sexualized with strange directions. I would hope that any kid old enough to sit through this, would wonder what a eunuch is, and would appreciate that a "nation-wide" meat market is NOT the way a wife should be chosen, story line or not. Furthermore, I would hope that RESPONSIBLE parents would explain to their children exactly what elements are involved in a healthy marriage, physical and otherwise (the movie hinted at this, but would someone PLEASE just some clothes on Xerxes?) The music is phenomenal. The costumes amazing, although again, weak on accuracy. Barring my extreme distaste for agenda driven projects (religion, ideology, etc.), as a cinematic presentation, I found the movie enjoyable.

Another Great Fodor's Guide!

Fodor's Caribbean covers almost 50 destinations in the Caribbean. It has lots of full color photographs and is packed full of maps. It covers activities, resorts, restaurants, nightspots, shops, deals, and just about anything you could ever want to know about the Caribbean. It is a very complete guide, as are all Fodor guides. It even covers history facts about the different islands. This guide leaves nothing out. I wouldn't even think about planning a Caribbean vacation without consulting this guide first. Yeah, I like it that much! If you are planning on taking a trip to the Caribbean, you will want to get a copy of this guide and use the great advice that this guide offers. It does the work for you! A great book!

Different **SPOILERS**

This book should've had a Readers Discretion warning posted on its first page. It will be offending to religious people, and it is not for young teens with weak stomachs. Luckily i am a 20 yr old reader who knew that the name Azazel is another name for Satan, and if you are a Christian or a Catholic you should've known that. I picked this up because I figured that it was going to be a dark book. Did not disappoint on that end. But the book is slow, and very vague, but it might have been the author's point to keep it vague and surprise you with the real back story. The book is about a girl named Azazel, who lives in a town with no churches until the next town over. Her boyfriend won't sleep with her, and insists that she stay away from Jason, who she sort of rescues. Her best friend does the same. Why, well you find out later after the Halloween dance (what school holds a Halloween dance? I never went to one...) She is taken to her house where she finds out that her parents and closest friends are satanists. This is where the story i think finally picked up for me. It becomes action packed, but the sex scenes aren't...passionate i would say. There are a few oddball characters who i think are just fillers, A psychic-who ends up being somehow important in a freaky way, Jason's "brother", the obscure group of people from The Sons of the Rising sun (mouthful)who try to kill? Jason and Azazel, and the weird scene where "Their love will drive men mad" and "Bam" the men chasing them go stupid and crazy? all-in-all the book had its good points but was stitched together very loosely. I enjoyed it a bit. but if you have a kindle on the last page it says "V.J Chambers is not for the faint of heart" they got that right. If u think u would enjoy a book where satanists, attempted rapes, cheating and religious freaks are all incorporated together. u might like it.

Michael Jacksons fans will be pleased

Really nice made. I was very pleased with it. Would recommend any Michael Jackson's fans to purchase I usually wear a med to large, I ordered the xxl. Sleeves were too long, but I had them altered. Runs small, I love it!!!

needed a replacement for my asrock 880gm-le

I've had problems with my asrock 880gm-le motherboard since i received it 1 and 1/2 years ago. I replaced the ram, hard drive, power supply, but just a couple weeks ago, the motherboard suddenly died. I immediately ordered a used asrock 880gm-le from Amazon Warehouse deals as it was available immediately and it arrived DOA.The asrock 880gm-le fx was not set to ship for 1 month, however amazon was great as always and managed to get it to me 4 days after the used asrock 880gm-le arrived. As far as I can tell the only difference between the 880gm-le fx and the 880gm-le is the difference in nomenclature and the support of am3+ processors. I plugged this motherboard in and my windows worked with no problems and without the need for reinstallation. Hopefully this mobo lasts...but so far my faith in asrock is dim... Update: one of the sata connectors on the mb broke off...honestly my impression of asrock so far is you get what you pay for in terms of quality...

Bittersweet nostalgia

It was my first and only biopic movie of the salsa genre so I don't have much to compare it to (I did see Mambo Kings the next day, but it was not as good, imho), but I definitely enjoyed it cause for moments here and there I would forget that it was not a "reality" show but a movie. The way it was played seemed realistic to me regarding the basic story of what I know happened in real life to the main character. I would recommend it to someone like myself who is just getting to know about the legends of old school Salsa. Perhaps, die hard purists and experts might have a different recollection of the real events of this life story because they were there or have family or friends who lived through that NYC music scene back in the 70s. However, it was enjoyable and I felt educated even though it was not a documentary and I would definitely watch it again.

A Gripping Conspiracy and Murder-Mystery!

In" The House of Secrets" Brad Meltzer and Tod Goldberg mix history, murder and mystery into a fascinating and entertaining story that begins when the celebrity host of a well-known t.v. program who hunts down and exposes the secrets behind mysteries and conspiracies is killed in a car accident, his daughter losing the memory of her past. The story heats up when FBI agent Trevor Rabkin (aka Rabbit) shows up at the hospital grilling her and her brother Skip about her father's connection to two dead bodies each with a book hidden in their chest. Determined to dig into the truth about her past and unravel clues to a murder- mystery linked to her father's clandestine activities on his trips abroad, Hazel-Ann Nash returns home to find a drawer full of guns in her bedroom, a mysterious tattoo on her neck and Rabbit dogging her footsteps. What she discovers not only unravels a hidden family secret, has Hazel disliking the person she was, but also leads her into a dangerous confrontation. Skilfully the authors weave Benedict Arnold's treason and his bargain with George Washington with a murder-mystery that twists and turns with every clue exposed. Intensity and suspense build when Jack Nash is not only alleged to have been murdered but his death is linked to two corpses with dubious identities; one found frozen and the other wearing clothing from the Civil War period. Fast-paced and totally enthralling from the first page to the last, past and present combine in a gripping and intriguing plot you can't put down until finished. Hazel-Ann Nash is the fearless and headstrong daughter of the adventurous and reckless famous t.v. personality Jack Nash whose exploits may hid a sinister purpose. An anthropologist with a keen eye for detail and a smart, logical mind she's aloof and dangerous reveling in thoughts of violence and aggression. In contrast her brother Skip is amiable, nonchalant and popular raised as a celebrity in his own right as part of the "House of Secrets" program. Trevor Rabkin is the FBI agent swept into a murder mystery and government conspiracy. A loner with sharp analytical skills he's dogged in his search for the truth. These personalities and others fuel this story with nail-biting action, high emotion and excitement that has you engrossed until the shocking climax at the end. Like all of Brad Meltzer's novels I thoroughly enjoyed "The House of Secrets" with a historical mystery woven into a gripping conspiracy and murder.

Sounded pretty good, but the third time i used it

Sounded pretty good, but the third time i used it, the amp blew. It was wired and working fine, then suddenly got loud and then never worked again. Too bad it wasn't a few days sooner so i could have returned it and gotten a new one.

Works well and great customer service.

I have been using mine for about a year and a half when the switch stopped working. I got on their website and asked a few questions. After a few tests they agreed that it was a defective switch on the unit and it was quickly replaced at no cost. I have tested the new unit and am back to slow cooking. I was happy with the performance of the controller before and now am very happy with the friendly and great customer service too.

Great DMM at an affordable price

I purchased this DMM because I needed a full-function DMM, but did not want to pay the high price of that "F" brand DMM that is so popular. Other co-workers of mine own the "F" brand DMMs and this works just as good as those, for an 1/8th of the price (with more features!) The only downfall, which is minor, is the rubber "bumpers" are pretty cheap and won't hold onto the probes, NOT worth leaving a negative review, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I would recommend this for purchase.

The title says it all. Fall in love with your hair!

The book was informative and helpful in putting together the building blocks of a good hair routine and good health in general. The author's tone is both down to earth and friendly and her credentials add a stamp of credibility to her work that few hair books have. Would love to hear more from this author. Keep the natural hair love going! Visit naturalover40.blogspot.com

Another facinating read

Malcolm Gladwell's books are always a fascinating read. I find myself quoting him in conversation. He gives reasoning behind beliefs I have long held and point out "obvious" conclusions I can't believe I never thought of. Being a fact based person, I find his conclusions well founded. I highly recommend all of his books!

All in all a great buy!

This is a great product! The cable steering on my 20' Fish n Ski, was very stiff and tight, making driving it difficult and dangerous. The product came with everything needed for my boat. After finally removing the old cables(tough), the new hydraulic system was fairly easy to install, better have two people. The hardest part was bleeding the system for air. Once I got all the air out we put the boat in the water and tried it out. What a difference! Much easier to steer and seems to hold the steering in position. Tough on a 200 hp outboard. All in all a great buy, wish I'd done it sooner.

OK for the netbook but not for the power cord

The sleeve is beautiful e really protects the netbook. The problem is the power cord. The outside pocket isn't big enough to keep it so, I just leave it in the car or in my wife's purse (rs)...

Simple, thought provoking and inspiring

This book was recommended to all the leaders in our church by our pastor. I'm really grateful I took his advice and read it. It's really changed the way I view many things, and I believe helped me to unclutter my mind in some really key areas. I would definitely recommend this book, especially to people that desire a Godly perspective on what they're called to be doing as believers

Bought for my wife --

Substantially better quality than typical leotard -- nice sewing and finish. She definitely liked it -- and plans to buy more.

This is really neat and efficient

I really enjoy using this item. It is so easy to read the label and retrieve the K-Pacs. I can tell at a glance when I'm running low on any of my coffees. I've been using it for two weeks now, and highly recommend it.

It is pretty true to size

Bought this for a Statue of Liberty Halloween costume and it looked so cute! It is pretty true to size. I'm 5'9 and 180lbs and the XL was great. Still had some room and wasn't clingy. Bonus that it was long enough! I have issues finding dresses because I'm tall for a girl, but this dress covered all the necessary areas.

We recently installed a simplisafe alarm system at our lake home. The system was easy to install and we received quick help activating and checking out the system. We are very pleased with the system and today we ordered a simplisafe alarm system for our main residence.

We have a Great Dane who puts these to the test

We camp and dogs must be tied up. We have a Great Dane who puts these to the test ! So far so good

The Smiths-Blondie-The Cure all rolled into one!

Ever since I put on "The Woods" by Sleater-Kinney I found myself fascinated by all female rock bands. I ordered this album back in May but decided to memorize the lyrics and song titles before writing a review. The song that definitely sticks out for me is Track #2 "Steven Smith." I love the way the song gets right to the point "As I Was Saying I Know That I Have Been One Of A Few Who Walks Away From You Steven Smith We All Lose..." The more I listen to the song the more it feels like I am right there involved in the coversation. One of the more clever songs is Track #4 "Basement Band" I adore the lyrics "You Really Brightened Up My Basement Suite..." and "I Love Your Honey, Honey Harmonies..." Who would ever think of talking like that it is just perfect. But I have to be honest the song that really drew me into this album is "Brother" I kept on hitting the repeat button to listen to the sound clip provided by this site and it didn't hurt that features The Organ's websites as one of their band links. This album is surely one of my all-time favorites and I love it even more than when I brought it. It is that addicting!

nice product that I will be buying more of

These fit the coins well to protect them while allowing viewing of the coins on all sides. nice product that I will be buying more of.

Great price but the connectors don't fit my Apple device ...

Great price but the connectors don't fit my Apple device well at all. I have to jiggle the end until it finally works.

Book better than TV version.

I had previously only seen the TV version with Emma Thompson. But here's how New Yorker magazine described the TV version: "Anyone who makes the effort to transfer a play to TV runs the risk of focusing excessively on plot and dialogue and of failing to catch the elusive nonverbal elements in his butterfly net. This is what happened with the TV version of `Wit'... Most of the deliberately self-conscious stage devices, which were integral to the play, and necessary to give full dimension the main character, were gone, and the TV version became largely a story about an interesting woman dying of cancer". Even though the TV version was excellent, the book version was better. I strongly recommend the book to anyone who's only seen the TV version.

These are Warns bases--great, high quality product.

These are actually Warne bases or mounts. I really wish they had put that in the title since it will probably cost them sales if people don't know the brand. I only use Warne bases and scope rings. I don't think you can buy a better product. I have owned many of them for a number of years, if you should have an issue they will stand behind the product. Follow the directions, especially the torque recommendations. Clean the screws and holes with brake cleaner, let dry and then use blue thread-locker Let the thread-locker dry at least 24 hours before use. Follow the same directions for the rings as well. Buy a Wheeler torque wrench or another quality torque wrench like the Warne torque wrench, not very expensive. This is how I mount my rings and bases, maybe you have a better way but this has worked out well for me for many years.

Mytouch 4G silicone cover

Product fit perfectly. There was a mix-up with the total order (quantities were off), but I sent them an email and they sent out the missing quantities Very fast! Thanks guys!

I did laugh when my brother said - really, you are going to write a review for extension cords?!?!? And, yes, I am writing! They were exactly what I was looking for - couldn't be happier! Will order these again if I need more extension cords! Still laughing, still loving my extension cords!

Happy pup, great purchase

Our 28 pound terrier mix loves this bed. It's comfortable and easy to vacuum. We're very happy with his purchase, and after 9 months of solid use, it's holding up well. Would gladly recommend.

Excellent Boresighter

This bore slighter is excellent very bright laser which is easy to sight in sights. It is well made ( Brass) also has sight in target included on back of instructions. It comes with 3 batteries the amount needed to use laser. Instructions say these will last aprox. 20 min. I would order extra Batteries like I did. On Amazon these are very cheap. Make sure to order correct battery size. They are LR 754 ( come with this size) also LR44,LR41,L626 BUTTON CELL

Great Stepping Off Point For Joomla Extension Development

Having a number of Joomla Projects that require me to get to the next level of custom design I turned to a number of books. This book is well written, even at a laypersons level. [Though you must have some understanding of basic code, HTML etc] If you are a total "newbie" you can still follow it, even if you do not understand all that it discusses. After each set of code is an explanation of why the code was used and what it does. This can help you learn the concepts for not only Joomla, but also any PHP/MySQL/JavaScript/HTML based scripting.

To small and the strap in between the toes uncomfortable

I ordered some sandals from skechers two years ago and loved them. My puppy destroyed them, so I went to amazon and ordered a new pair different kind and the size was smaller and they were uncomfortable.
