I purchased two self help, “credit repair” books and this particular publication was by far the better of the two. The material is easy to follow, step-by-step tutorial on how to do the necessary work to repair bad credit. It provides detailed templates on the letters you MUST write to individual agencies.

I recently read this book and What Would Drucker Do Now?, written by Rick Wartzman and also published by McGraw-Hill. Initially, I suspected that both were (or will become) part of a "What Would X Do?" series that might also include Sun Tzu, Socrates, Machiavelli, and Von Clauswitz or, within the domain of business, Henry Ford, Albert Sloan, one or both of the Thomas Watsons, and Walt Disney. It turns out, the two "What Would" books share little in common, except for the quality of their content and of their authors' presentation of it.

Peter Sander devotes the first two chapters of his book to essential background information about Steve Jobs and Apple, then explores the meaning and significance of the book's title in several different ways. Here are two. First, what he characterizes as "The Steve Jobs Leadership Model" in Chapter 3, one that consists of six "steps" or elements. He also includes a suggestion by Jean-Louis Gassée, former Apple VP: "Democracies don't make great products - you need a competent tyrant." Jobs was certainly both and that is hardly a head-snapping revelation. The historical details of the model have been known for decades. The same competent tyrant who visited Xerox PARC with Steve Wozniak in 1979 also introduced a series of "insanely great" Apple products 25-30 years later. For better or worse, Jobs really was literally "one of a kind."

Hence the importance of Sander's second approach: A series of "What Would Steve Jobs Do?" sections at the conclusion of Chapters 4-9 in which he suggests lessons to be learned from Jobs in six subject areas: Customer (Page 103), Vision (124-125), Culture (153-154), Product (171-172), Message (190-191), and Brand (205-206). Almost anyone who reads this book can follow the advice provided (e.g. "Thank about customer pain and what causes it") but few - if any - can do so in ways and to the extent Steve Jobs could...and did. Most of the admonitions will serve as reminders rather than as revelations. Fair enough.

For those who wish to know more about Steve Jobs, there is no shortage of other sources, notably Walter Isaacson's biography. I also highly recommend Adam Lashinsky's Inside Apple and Leander Kahney's Inside Steve's Brain.

This box set alone is worth the price because it's the ONLY place you can get Moore's last film "Dolemite Explosion" aka "The Return of Dolemite"! A kick A** film that had it been truly been given its due would now be a classic! You also get the original Dolemite flick! Plus all other Moore's films except for "Monkey Hustle".

New in the Little People, Big Dreams series, discover the incredible life of Bob Dylan. As anyone who reads my reviews knows, I love this series and gobble up each new book as they are published. Bob Dylan was born Robert Zimmerman. As a child, he loved music above all else. He was not always appreciated for his voice as a child. As he got older he began to compose his own songs under his new name, Bob Dylan. His songs were about real things, events, civil rights and war. He was well received with his new folk music. Many other famous artists recorded his music and it got the audience it deserved. Bob did not mind others singing and recording his songs. His writing was so poetic that he was the first musician ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. I love the timelines that appear at the end of each of these books. There are also other resources that can be searched out for further study. This book could be used to teach young children how to write a biography, show that it is important to have a dream and strive to achieve it as well as to introduce one of the greatest authors of our time to a new generation. A good book for a school, class, or public library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book to read via netgalley. The rating, opinions and ideas stated are my own.

There isn’t anything about it that I don’t like. It’s a classic. It makes me feel young again. Wonderful music played and sung by one of the best!!

I have used this and the mango flavour for the last year. I certainly prefer the taste of the mango as I can still taste the fish through this flavour but this is obviously a personal thing. There are several things I do not like however. We found these flavours far too sweet, they use Xylitol in the product which is an artificial sweetener although one of the better ones.Unfortunately the price of this has also gone through the roof with most suppliers and in my view is now greatly over priced as you can obtain other high quality oils in capsule form which match this.

I have no idea if the physical version is any different, but the Kindle edition of this set is a mess. There are constant spelling and grammar errors that are highly distracting and detract from the credibility of the author and add a very amateurish feel overall. Some quick examples just from the first few chapters include the author not being able to decide whether "Python" should be capitalized or not (he constantly switches back and forth), Windows being spelled as "widows", and using "Window's" as the possessive form of "Windows". The most obnoxious thing about this book, however, is that there is literally a full-page advertisement for the Audible version after EVERY CHAPTER.

As for the actual subject matter - it's not much better. I am a complete beginner to Python and the author frequently uses terms that a beginner would not know, and will gloss completely over things that would be confusing to a beginner without further explanation. At one point near the beginning, he completely glosses over multiple topics in the span of a few pages and then declares that I "should be able to complete several projects at this point".

I have owned various Kindle devices for over a decade now, and this is by FAR the most amateurish work that I've ever seen masquerading as some kind of professional production. I picked it up for free, and I still feel like I was ripped off. Save your time and skip this one, and definitely don't spend any kind of money for it.

I love Isopure as a protein workout supplement, usually opting for the Isopure Vanilla or plain powder in a small glass of water (6 ounces of room-temp water, stir rapidly with a fork, drink fast) or in a smoothie. The protein powder and water can be tough to drink every day, so I was thrilled when I found the fruity flavors. Had to give them a try. Here's the result:

Best: Pre-Made Protein Waters in Your Fridge
For some reason, these flavors take forever to dissolve in water. However, the fruity powders are fantastic for pre-made protein waters. My recommendation is to fill a water bottle with 16-20 ounces (a full scoop will dissolve in 8-10 ounces - but the taste is very tart) of room temperature water (mixes faster than cold water). Add a full scoop of the fruity powder and shake vigorously. You'll end up with lots of foam and powder residue at the top of the bottle. Pop the water bottle in the fridge for 4+ hours. That's about how long it takes to fully dissolve and the flavor is better when cold. The result is a fantastic fruity protein water.

I like to make 4 bottles at a time and stock the fridge. Then, I can grab one to take to a workout or in the car on the way to work. The pre-made protein waters are really good and you get the benefit of lots of water and the 20 grams of protein. See the picture for a drink left in the fridge for 4 hours. The powder completely dissolves and the flavor is perfect. I've started to crave the flavor on days I don't workout.

Okay: In a Shake
The classic vanilla/choc/plain flavors dissolve easily in a small amount of water or milk. In shakes, I typically use 1/2 cup to 1 cup of liquid, which is fine for the classic flavors. For the fruity flavors, it's hard to get them to dissolve fully in a shake. The flavors are good - especially in berry shakes with greens - but there is always some powder residue in the shake. You can also premix the powder and liquid and leave overnight for use in the morning for a better shake. Makes drinking spinach or kale in a smoothie much tastier.

Not Great: Drinking Straight in a Glass of Water
Seriously, this stuff takes a LONG time to dissolve. The fruity powders are not meant for a quick mix in a glass of water. Stick to the classic flavors if this is your plan.

I won't speak to my opinion on the scent because different people enjoy different smells. I will say that it does indeed smell like pina colada. These little wafers are nice because of their small size and being designed to just throw under the seat instead of being hung from the rear view mirror like those gaudy trees and the like. They fill the car with a strong, but not too strong, smell... for about a day. After that, it's barely noticeable. I rarely drive with my windows down so I'm not airing out the car, they just don't have any stamina. At the price, it wouldn't be a big deal to put a new one in every other day, but I would like them much better if they'd last a week or more. There are air freshners out there that will last a month, but those are usually gel filled and have to be clipped to a vent or something, so I do like the discretion of these. They just don't last.

I'm new to the Solar Install crowd and I will prove it to you.

I've watched hundreds of youtube videos on the subject, but hard facts are hard to come by. It's difficult to decide who is giving accurate, complete, concise information.

The learning curve is long and cumbersome for me. I guess this is more about the lack of complete information on the products available to newbies like myself so this critique is more about my shortcomings and the Go Power endorsers who fail to give complete install instructions because they are receiving money for endorsing the product, as well as everybody in the industry pushing their products with confusing information.

Kudos to the ones that did do a thorough job.

I'm pretty certain I broke the green remote port on the back trying to figure out how to wire the chassy ground because the set screw is blocked by the remote manual port connection which effected the functioning of the go power remote switch now neither work.

I ordered the remote switch and the unit would only stay on as long as I was pushing the switch. I was then under the impression that the model that supersedes the B model didn’t work on my older GP3000. Talked to some dealers who said they don't even supply the B model switch that Go Power says is needed for this unit because it's no longer manufactured. (It's a 2016 product that no one manufactures anymore,) so you get the R model that supersedes the B model. So I thought it just wasn't compatible.

Talked to Go Power Customer Support, but wasn't sure I had damaged the green port at that time, but I think they knew and just didn't wish to pursue it. I'm pretty certain I broke it. Of course it's probably a simple soldering fix that I'm very capable of doing but getting inside of the unit is difficult and voids the warranty so that will have to wait.

The biggest hurdle was setting up a parallel solar array and the wire gauges and connectors that is needed with the heavier gp 3000 pure sine wave inverter. The system I’m shooting for is 7 amps x 6 panels in parallel = 42 amp current. (Ouch.). That needs at least a 50 amp fuse.

No one except on line suppliers carry the 4/0 wire or terminals for the 12 volt inverter install kit. I needed to purchase wire cutters big enough to cute 3/8 inches of wire and a crimper as well. That wire, by the way, doesn't fit/is too large to go into the inverter fuse block that came with the install kit and had to be trimmed to make it fit into the hole.

This unit is kind of out of date. I recommend going with the pricier IC version, (Inverter/Charger.) I would think It solves a lot of wiring and fusing issues or better yet the non-Charger unit that comes in two flavors: One that is a hard wired to your needs or the one that comes with a 20 amp dual receptacle, (both options are included in my older model.)

Since I dove into this project, I've taken it one step at a time. I ordered and am successfully using the Go Power Portable 120 watt panels that has an extra 10 watts. (Confused?). On the back of the panels it says an extra 10 Watts which comes with a Go Power Pulse Width Charge Controller or PWM.

Since I'm on a budget and still want as much inverter as I can get I ordered a MPPT 60 amp Chinese Charge Controller by One Solar which is a 2000 model that has outdated connections to your computer.

It tracks your usage, and adjusts the charge frequency. (I'm still holding out for an Out Back or Nigh Force.)

Today is the first day I'm totally using the small starter system on the MPPT controller. It's working as expected, totally overcast and this morning and today with light snow and it was reaching 17-20 volts consistently from the PV panels and maintained a minimum of 12.21 volts on our 4 Duracell Deep Cycle 230 Amp Hour Battery Bank, (go with the Trojan T105's if you can find some that haven't spend months on the display case.)

This all while we connected our entertainment system which includes a We Boost, WD USB 2TB usb drive, Sony Blue Ray player, and Sony Sound Bar, and a Hisense 43" Flat Screen Roku connected TV, and Apple TV between one and two hours.

The bottom line is the whole industry seems dedicated to 48 volt systems. That’s where the focus is, probably for a very good reason. Much less gauge wire sizes needed and more support by the industry in solar panel selection.

I’m on day one, a one day old newbie with respect to Solar Installs. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Super fan

Upon first use the cooling fan bearings were shot. Very noisy cooling fan. It appears this was a used item. Electronics plugged into this inverter make annoying humming tones. Only good for powering tools in this condition.

These shoes are awesome...got allot of compliments

Overall the item was amazing just wish it would come with more bigger stars. One thing that was quite a disappointment it the stars and moon don’t glow in the dark very well. Otherwise the item is great!

A little disappointed.
I make earrings, and didn't get matched pairs. I really wanted green and purple and didn't get green. Only two purple. No black either. I got a lot of blue.
Also, I got 29, not 30.
Plus, one was defective.
And... I cannot get a hold of seller to try and work with them because there is no option for this, which I'd rather do than leave a bad review.
This leaves me with four pair I cannot make, meaning no money made there.

This movie remake of the popular Baywatch TV series follows the same tired spoofing formula as too many other TV shows remade into films. This Baywatch film includes too many of the same unnecessary "movie mocking" tropes, the same unfunny gags and takes the same tired cynical, sarcastic attitude towards the original TV series material as other movie remakes. Remakes such as The Brady Bunch Movie, Charlie's Angels Full Throttle, The A-Team, Dukes of Hazard, The Addams Family (which is probably the best of this bunch) and now Baywatch (just to name a few). Even the latest Star Trek from J.J. Abrams has injected some of these unnecessarily hammy, tropish, spoofing elements.

Some stupidity in this film includes... the overly stupid rookie, dressing in drag, making corny jokes about lifeguard stereotypes (and of the show itself), hamming up the body aspect, all of which is too much to bare in this farce. I don't see why any of it is necessary. It degrades the film and mocks the original TV show in the process. I don't go into TV-series-into-movie remakes to see the original TV material mocked and derided by corny jokes. I go into it to see an entertaining film that tries to relive and breathe new life into the original material through a new cast. Instead, The Brady Bunch Movie set this silly, mocking tone in stone. For whatever reason, filmmakers have latched full throttle (ahem) onto this oh-so-unnecessary formula as though that's what moviegoers really want when a TV series is made into a film.

We watched the original TV series because while the shows may have included jokes and humor, it did take the characters, story and itself seriously enough to make the show believable and the characters likeable. That's the reason we watched the series. That's the reason we liked it. The TV shows rarely, if ever, mocked themselves, their own characters or the material. Yet, here we are. At every step, the filmmakers of Baywatch take every opportunity to mock such lifeguard elements as tans, bathing suits riding up butt cracks, the nerdy horny guy, crude and awkward shower scenes, wearing too much tanning oil, calling out unnecessary homophobic elements, shaking boobs, showing slow motion characters with everyone else in real-time or whatever other low-brow humor the writers can find to mock the original TV series.

As I said, I don't go into these TV-series-made-into-films to see the original material mocked. I go to see and relive what made the TV series great. Yet, that's nowhere to be found in Baywatch. Oh well, in the annals of time, this film (like so many before it) will ultimately go down as a spoof. To this day, the best film spoofs include Airplane followed closely by GalaxyQuest which are only loosely based on more serious shows before it. If movie makers really want to create successful spoofs, they should go watch these films to understand why they worked and why this Baywatch film doesn't.

Bought this for my grandson who is 11. He loves the design. It offers decent coverage however the handle is a little short even when fully extended. Don't know how well it will do in windy conditions have not been able to test that yet. Overall I think it is a great product for the price. Shipping and delivery were fast.

Good color artwork. One of three hundred comics marvel gave out on national read a book day,Sept six. T'challa goes deeper into the mute zone. Super science and super sorcery are very similar.

Sehr nette Verkäuferin, schneller Versand und sehr gut verpackt. Sehr Empfehlenswert und Top Service.

I didn't get the one pictured, its still cute but cone on, if I wanted a different face on my Dr strange mighty muggs I would've ordered it

I purchased this item believing the description that it was a collection of duets of Usher and his "friends." The songs that Usher does perform on are from his middle school days before his voice developed and they are horrible.

The rest of the two discs are filled with unknown artists as well as a few songs by Ashanti, Snoop Dogg, etc but they sound like demos. Whomever put this together was on crack.

Don't buy this and certainly don't pay the $20 + for the import price - it is not what you would expect. I am very disappointed! Save your money for his new album coming out this Spring.

If I could, I would give this zero stars!

Le manga date de 1987 mais comme ça n'a pas pris une seul ride comme beaucoup de manga d'ailleurs.
L'ouverture de l'histoire commence par une bonne pointe d'humour. Mais, le fil rouge est bien l'histoire d'amour qui commence à se faire ressentir dès le premier manga avec tous ces mystères et ces tensions.

A conseiller vivement !

I was skeptical as I saw reviews were very confusing with a few people saying that it fit as expected and others claiming it to be too small. I'm 174lbs, 5'4 and ordered a medium. I so wish I went smaller as this fits like a large. It's very long and saggy. Nothing I can't fix. I'm very curvy so I thought that. Medium would be too small but I think this is meant for men. Hence the medium being a woman's large. Just keep that in mind. If you want it to embrace your curves, go a size down or just order your regular size. Don't go up unless you want it baggy and saggy.

These sell out in my local Wal-Mart (possibly due to current pandemic hoarding?) where they're cheaper than here. So I ordered some here.... but now they keep being out of stock too. Bah humbug, because they're delicious. I heat for 1 minute, take it out, remove cover & doctor it up with some shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan, nuke for another 45-55 seconds. SO good! I guess everyone's eating spaghetti as comfort food.... just wish they were in stock on regular basis. Hear that, Amazon and Hormel?????

This is a step-by-step, moment-by-moment explanation of the Roman Catholic Mass written in a simple, easy-to-read style that truly anyone can wrap their minds around and understand. It includes lots of customs also, things I haven't seen elsewhere. There is an appendix of prayers that can be said before Mass, after Mass, and a study guide that can be used alone or in a group. There is also an appendix or recommended resources for learning more, including books, DVD's, CD's, and web sites.

The real strength of this particular book, and what differentiates it from others, is that it is really easy to read. You don't have to be familiar with the Bible or the Catechism, as references are generally included inline in the text. And everything is very clearly and simply presented.

I would recommend this for any Catholic, especially new Catholics, who want to understand the Mass better.

Recommended.

J.R.R. Tolkien was a talented artist as well as a writer, and throughout his life he produced dozens of drawings and paintings, many of which display the same sense of wonder and delight that make his books so enjoyable. In the 1970s a collection of his finished work dealing with Middle-earth was published as Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien. Wayne G.Hammond and Christina Scull, who are among the most authoritative of Tolkien scholars, have already edited J.R.R. Tolkien Artist and Illustrator, which contains a wide range of his work from throughout his life; as well as The Art of The Hobbit, concentrating on the paintings and drawings he produced for his first book. The Art of the Lord of the Rings is a beautiful companion to these earlier publications and is especially valuable in that it contains many heretofore unpublished sketches and drawings that allow us to better understand how Tolkien came to create his best loved tale.

A major difference between The Art of the Lord of the Rings and earlier collections of Tolkien's art is that it contains many pieces which were never intended to be published, and indeed were meant only as aids to Tolkien's imagination as he analyzed the appropriate settings for his characters.Other works were drawn and finished by Tolkien for his own private amusement, while still others, usually rune transcriptions, were eventually to be included in the published text. Other pieces, including "pages" from the Book of Mazarbul and the "King's Letter" from the abandoned Epilogue, Tolkien also meant to include in the finished book, but were eventually left out for cost reasons. Perhaps the most important of the pieces which Tolkien never meant to be published are the many maps he produced as his story developed. Ever the reviser and perfectionist, Tolkien was always writing and rewriting his story, changing names and adding and dropping characters over many years. He realized right away that maps were essential, and he added on to and continually revised what had originally been a fairly small map until it became a cartographic giant. Then as his story expanded further more maps were needed, and they also came in for extensive editing and review. All of these maps are included here, and it is fascinating to examine them and see where Tolkien changed names, added new details, and sometimes erased. Similarly fascinating are the small sketches, some very detailed while others almost doodled, which he scribbled between the lines and along the margins of the pages of his manuscript (for which he often used discarded student papers and other ordinary communications. These were meant to help him envision his story and work out what his characters were to do next.

Some of the more finished works included here have already been published in the collections I mentioned earlier and in some of the calendars produced over the years, but "Old Man Willow," "Lothlorien in Spring," Barad-dur," "The Hill of Hobbiton" and "Rivendell" are enhanced by Hammond and Scull's careful discussions. Throughout the book Tolkien's relentless perfectionism is always on display. He created version after version of the Ring inscription, for example, before he finally developed one which was exactly right. It's that careful attention to detail that helps give Tolkien's writings their enormous appeal, and Hammond and Scull's similar dedication is evident on every page of this work. The Art of the Lord of the Rings is doubly a labor of love, first by Tolkien himself, and then by the editors. This work will immediately become an essential part of the libraries of all of us who love Middle-earth.

Thoreau is an interesting character, but he can be too much at once.

This collection of his best thoughts is well chosen and concentrated. It resists a quick reading. If Thoreau is about anything he's about having time to stop and stare and think. This book also makes you stop and think.

In this book you have a good collection of his thoughts, presented at their crux points, without the meandering narrative to reach them. This saves time in reading, but means you need to allow yourself to be stopped in your tracks every so often. For someone who reads as quickly as I do this can be a bit disconcerting.

In this context however it is a great pleasure to be stopped. Roderick McIver's illustrations compliment the text beautifully, and making stopping a moment or two pleasurable.

There's a huge amount to savour in this book- both Thoreau's thoughts and McIver's illustrations. The book is beautifully produced and printed, and this is one to get as a physical book, not in an electronic format.

I can recommend this book to those readers who are willing to take time to savour it, and maybe return to it several times in the future.

Ended up being one of my favorite series! I did get a little bored at one point with the third book but it picked back up fairly quickly. Great read! I even passed it on to someone else who is now obsessed as well

One of the best books that Louis L'amour ever wrote in his astonishing and amazing varied career. Intriguing characters as well as careful hints placed about the beginnings of the Chantry Clan. The story revolves around an unknown Irish lad, the time being set in the latter half of the 16th century A.D.
The history is quite good going over the different conflicts between the Irish the Spanish native Americans and a fairly Frank view of the politics at the time between all sides including examining exploitation of the natives while giving the natives their do as dangerous Warriors and inventive and intelligent people.

The book is not politically correct by any sense of the word and reveals much of the world as it was at the time. the story is fairly objective with a strong focus on personal empowerment and gaining knowledge and intellectual understanding as well as emotional connections with different people and cultures to survive.

Anumber of historical characters are also included in the book from third-party perspectives and first-party perspectives which makes this even more intriguing. the sword fighting and the pistol dueling are fairly historically accurate as is the ship-to-ship combat. L'amour pokes holes in a number of popular superstitions about ship-to-ship combat and sailing as well as what people assume about travel at that time.

the dialogue is good and keeps on a steady pace and the plot does not slacking but shows the persecution from the Irish at the time as well as the grandeur of the Spanish Navy and the fear that they cast through the civilized world. Spain is thoughtfully and objectively portrayed as a grand nation but also having faults and at the same time being feared loved and admired by its own citizens and those who did commerce and business with it.

a surprising delight was a number of archaic words that were used and included from the time for the reader as L'Amour was somebody who enjoyed words new and old. there is also an intriguing view on the printing industry in London at the time and how a free press is absolutely essential to any government of good nature. there is also an intriguing look at economics of the small businessman in some depth written for the layperson, using historical sources as well as accounts (literally) from that time.

Although it's definitely fiction Fair Blows The Wind is one of my favorite books that I often pull off the shelf every few years and peruse or in this particular the electronic Kindle.

it has a little bit of something for everybody and knowledge is something that everyone should gain more of you want me to support it in this capacity for this book.

L'Amour isn't going to blow anyone away with elegant prose. There were times I had to re-read a sentence multiple times to get the meaning due to missed punctuation (most often a comma). There were also times that the narrative randomly seems to jump to other characters suddenly, sometimes for no more than a paragraph or two, which was occasionally disorienting. His ending was abrupt and left more than a handful of loose ends but I get the sense this was done intentionally rather than accidentally (such as trying to meet a publishing deadline). I didn't hate the ending, but it left me wanting more in terms of validation for the stories characters.

And yet, L'Amour is undeniably a talented storyteller. His characters are at once generic and predictable, yet also believable. His story was compelling and interesting and I found I enjoyed it, despite the aforementioned flaws. It's like turning on an old black and white Western that you've seen once before but a long time ago and don't remember well, yet you know at once how it will end.

My husband loves Louis Lamour as an author, and loves all of his books, he has a very good collection, for his birthday I bought him this book along with others he did not have, I think this book was one along with the others that might have finished his collection for now. He loved the book and was one of the first ones he read, I assume he liked it because he had his head burried in it until he finished it. Thank you Amazon for making shopping on line so easy.

Bones has the knack of getting into trouble - and exasperating his chief, captain Hamilton! These are witty, humourous adventures of the innocent Lieutenant Tibbets, "Bones" as he is known to his colleagues, in British West Africa as lieutenant of the Houssas.
Set in colonial times, these are stories that bring up a vivid imagery of the child-like natives and their imperialist bosses: co-existing in an uncomfortable state of uneasy peace...
I recommend this book for its pure, unadulterated and innocent fun.

I found this story to be true to West Va to those people who lived and breathed the coal mines. I thought it was a true description and lots of wonderful adjectives of the mountain people. It ws a fluke that I ran across this book to be my first in the writers series of books across the US as I am originally from WV. When the part of the book about the cave in of the mine and how the entire area showed up to help and stay with the families who had relatives in the mine is how I remember it to be. Even though my dad was not a miner I had friends who was in this situation and I felt that I was at the mine until the miners were freed. Janet Daily makes you feel like you are at the scene. A good book. I can't wait to read the second in the series.

My favorite romance author! Good book if you want some inside info on her process.

Let me just say that before I recieved this DVD, it left the state, went to about three different post offices and disappeared. We thought we were going to lose it. When it finally arrived at my home, I was relieved and really happy. I love and appreciate this box set even more after that experience! I'm a 15 year old fan of classic anime and manga, especially the works of Osamu Tezuka. I like the old stuff! "Jungle Emperor," AKA: "Kimba The White Lion" is a great series that I have grown to love. I had already seen the epic movie "Jungle Emperor Leo" and the tv series "Leo the Lion." I knew I had to see the story of Leo/Kimba from the beginning-- when he was a cub. Each episode is like an adventure, even though there are some trippy moments(the movie has those too), and the characters are loveable.

What I love most about this anime is the little things. First, the animation is great, beautiful even. I found myself forgetting that this was a product of the 1960s! I've seen videos of the original Japanese openings and endings on YouTube. These songs were cut out of the English version, but they often play in instrumental form in the background. The animals were even humming the Japanese ending theme in one episode! It made me very happy. Yes, it warms my heart to hear the ORIGINAL soundtrack in a dubbed anime because I know that the original composers' work is not being wasted or scrapped. However, it gets even better! I have seen 26 episodes so far, but I have heard untranslated Japanese songs twice in two different episodes. This was the last thing I was expecting. The first song was a lullaby that Kimba's mother used to sing to him in the episode "Scrambled Eggs", and the second was an eerie night serenade sung by owls in "The Gigantic Grasshopper." The narrator said this was "owl language", but I knew better. This was very well done and I appreciate it because it is uncommon in Americanized anime. I'd like to know if anyone who watched "Kimba" in the 1960s remembers hearing something like that. I usually choose subs over dubs, but this is one dub I actually like. The voice actors do an okay job and the narrator's voice is soothing. Overall, it's a good quality anime that I will cherish forever. Thanks,Tezuka!

Forget about the box office numbers and the mild reception BFG received from critics and audiences. If you don’t clear your mind and find the proverbial blank slate, these outside influences will taint your viewing and in the process a gem of a movie will be missed. The public reaction initially served to reinforce my general angst and reluctance to shell out $40. I kept asking myself, how could a Spielberg movie based on a Roald Dahl book flop? This wasn’t like most other current movies being produced, which are basically over-hyped schlock (usually sequels) that require mindless consumption of over-buttered popcorn to survive the journey. However, I had a hunch that BFG would be a quality film because it didn’t fit this popular zeitgeist. Plus, the kids really wanted to see it and I am sucker for taking my kids to the cinema. In the end, I am glad I listened to my kids because BFG combines the best of both visual effects and storytelling, making it the type of movie that keeps me and my family coming back.

As a family movie, it doesn’t get much better. BFG spoke to my wife and me, and my two sons, (ages 7 and 9), on different levels yet still allowed us to connect and talk about the film days later. After all, isn’t this the true point of movies – to tell and re-tell the story, long after the lights have come back on and the theater is empty?

For the adults, BFG offers insights into one of the greatest mysteries of aging, the loss of friends and increase in loneliness as the years pass. The BFG himself is a sensitive and complex being who is alone, a hermit of sorts. His only “human” contact is the nefarious giant bullies who periodically intrude upon him and outlandishly degrade him. He is, in a sense, Corey Haim in his most prized role of Lucas, even down to catching dreams in jars via beautiful things that fly. But, when fate connects him to Sophia, an orphan, they begin a journey together that breaks their parallel cycle of loneliness. In the process they establish a love and commitment to each other that develops bonds of true friendship. This is quintessential sappy Spielberg, but isn’t that why we love him?

For the kids, BFG has the excitement of wonder – the main character is a kid, it’s full of giants, there are new unexplored lands, it features the Queen of England and – wait for it – giant farts! What would a movie with a friendly giant be if there wasn’t a juvenile ode to that bodily function that has been captured from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Caddyshack and Austin Powers? Yet, there is far more going on here to keep it from whiffing. BFG conveys to kids in a relatable but non-preachy way that it is okay to be afraid, but eventually you have to stand up to your fears. When you do good things happen.

So, why didn’t BFG reach its potential? A few things methinks. Was there any other book adapted movie more in need of a title change? Even my 7 and 9 year olds knew that the “F” didn’t really mean “friendly.” It also happened to be competing against Finding Dory – which leads me back to my first paragraph. Lastly, its greatest asset was also its greatest weakness, Spielberg himself. More specifically, it is the legend of Spielberg. The man is like King Midas, every movie he touches is expected to turn to gold. He is no longer allowed to make a good, decent family friendly movie. It has to be E.T. or Indiana Jones. If it’s not, then we consider it Hook, which once again brings me back to my first paragraph, but I digress. BFG was, in my humble opinion, a victim of Spielberg’s success. And that my friends is a shame.

So do yourself a favor, go see BFG, but skip the over-buttered popcorn. I guarantee you won’t miss it.

This is a good movie, but once again it does not do the original story justice. The original story was about finding gold in a remote area of Idaho and this setting is Arizona,. The characters are almost completely different from the original as well as two brothers find gold in a remote area. The book ends with the mountain destroying the town. Why the original screenwriters felt they had to deviate from the original story so much is something I simply don't understand. Why bother to use the title if you are not going to use the story? Go figure.

The bag I recived was slightly different from the picture but it still perfect. Only problem is that it is hard to open the smaller pouch because fabric covers it. You would have to reach under the flap of fabric to open and close the bag.... and one of the zippers does not work.

Cela fait des années que j'ai arrêté de les lire mais je continue la collection au cas où...
L'emballage utilisé par Amazon pour l'envoi des livres est vraiment pratique.

I haven't read this book for about thirteen or fourteen years, since right after my father passed away (which occurred when I was ten). I found that it described my own emotions perfectly...except I tried to shut mine down. I remember after reading it, I hadn't cried for my father at all...but it made me cry, and that's when the healing began.

The main character, Liza, lost her father around the same age I lost mine. He apparently passed away of heart failure, same as mine. We also had to move...but not just to a different neighborhood; we moved out of state. Many of the same struggles were present: guilt, anger, sorrow beyond description...and of course the feeling that other than my siblings, I was the only one with that kind of pain. Liza experiences the same things.

I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially for those between the ages of 8-13 who have lost a parent. At that age, children are so tender, and it's a horrible age to lose a parent; especially when everyone else seems to still have theirs.

The book is, as one other reviewer said, a bit sugar-coated...but mostly truthful and realistic.

Cria-se muita expectativa, a estória prende, é bastante ficcional, porém ao fechar a trama deixa um certo vazio. Mesmo assim recomendo.

Das Buch ist der Hammer! Vor 15 Jahren geschrieben ist es aktuell wie nie. Am Anfang geht es etwas verwirrend los. Im Verlauf klärt sich alles auf. Die Spannung reicht bis zum Schluss. Dazwischen jede Menge wissenschaftliche Hintergründe, die akribisch mit Quellen belegt werden. Das Buch ist keine Fiktion, sondern rechnet basierend auf Fakten mit der aktuellen „Klimareligion“ ab. Ein echter Augenöffner. Als Folge-Bildung empfehle ich unbedingt den Film „Crusade in jeans“ zu schauen. Der zeigt dann noch sehr eindrücklich, woher der aktuelle Greta Hype kommt. Es gab nämlich schon einmal den Kreuzzug der Kinder....

Para comemorar os 25 anos do lançamento do filme Jurassic Park, este box reúne os dois clássicos de Michael Crichton: Jurassic Park e sua continuação, o Mundo Perdido. JURASSIC PARK - Clássico da ficção científica e uma das mais importantes obras da cultura pop, Jurassic Park foi publicado originalmente em 1990. Atrelado a questões como bioética e teoria do caos, o romance apresenta um mundo no qual dinossauros recriados em laboratório se tornam atrações de um parque de diversões na paradisíaca ilha Nublar. O livro serviu como base para o roteiro do filme homônimo dirigido por Steven Spielberg três anos depois, consagrado como um dos maiores blockbusters da história do cinema. O MUNDO PERDIDO - Lançado em 1995, o Mundo Perdido se passa seis anos depois dos trágicos acontecimentos de Jurassic Park, girando em torno de expedições realizadas na ilha Sorna, o verdadeiro “centro de produção” das criaturas jurássicas. Agora, o matemático Ian Malcolm, sobrevivente do parque dos dinossauros, está em uma missão de resgate que pode custar sua própria vida. Seguindo o sucesso do anterior, o romance também foi adaptado para os cinemas, em 1997, com direção de Steven Spielberg, arrecadando cerca de US 618 milhões pelo mundo. Box com acabamento de boa qualidade, faltou apenas incluir algum brinde, talvez pôster, cards para tornar o item mais atrativo.

The Peacemakers is an excellent fiction work that gives the reader some insight in to the complexity of the Air Force line and staff command in the ranks; decision making by commanders and the politics that goes on among senior officers to complete their missions or move their careers along. This is set against the back drop of famine and radical Islam in Africa and the failed United Nations attempts at peace keeping. There is a pit of Hollywood in the novel with a movie star character (Tara) is who is out to save refugees from hunger and captivity. Overall, the book is an action filled novel about an "old warrior" Air Force Colonel Allston (who is given an impossible mission). The novel has several main characters that add other dimensions to the book. There is the gallant French Foreign Legion Vermullen, a missionary doctor, female subordinate officers and a Brigadier General Richards who is out to destroy the Allston's career. The tools that Allston uses to achieve his mission depend on his ingenuity, lessons learned as a fighter pilot in Vietnam, his mental and physical skills and the use of the Air Forces' C-131 planes. The author was a career Air Force officer which makes the novel more realistic.

While this is not one of Alistair MacLean’s greatest books, there are many elements in it that are contained in his later works.

For those who crave action, there is plenty of it here. The author is wonderful at weaving danger and suspense together, and due to his creative writing, it is easy to become part of the story without even realizing it. There are also numerous fight scenes, and these are descriptive without becoming wordy.

The plot is good, a youthful precursor of what Mr. MacLean would be releasing in years to come. While the capture/escape formula was used a lot in this book, I didn’t find myself becoming bored with the storyline.

There are a few spots where the author dives into politics, and while some of the sentiments may still exist today in with different players, one must remember that this book was written 60 years ago. While passages like these allow authors to thinly cloak their thoughts in a novel, the passages still help with characterizations. This is especially true of the character Jansci, and I did find a few revelations to think on that I hadn’t heard voiced as they were in this book. Regardless, these dialogues don’t last long and the action always picks back up.

Overall, a good book and worth your time. Four stars.

Tite-san has a great way of both telling and delivering a story. His work is incredibly universal and relatable. This arc had a finality that actually mimics Ichigo's in its own way... "I can stop here and be satisfied... or I can keep going."

ce livre fait partie d une collection très sympathique que mon adore depuis ses 18 mois.
les histoires sont simples et traitent de sujets de la vie quotidienne.
le nombre de pages est suffisant pour des petits et permet de raconter une vraie histoire.
le format est très maniable et manipulable bien que non cartonné.
les illustrations sont un peu rétro et très adaptées á des petits enfants car contiennent aussi des détails sans être trop sophistiquées.
enfin le texte est 100% espagnol et permet á votre enfant de pratiquer cette langue facilement.
J utilise ces livres comme support á la pratique de l espagnol á la maison bien que je suis française de langue maternelle et cela me donne aussi la possibilité d'apprendre en même temps que mon enfant.

le thème de celui-ci est la visite annuelle du héros le chien Clifford chez son vétérinaire. Il permet à l'enfant de faire le rapprochement avec ses visites chez le docteur.

Kein so toller Baldacci. Zwischen Seite 100 und 300 geht es um ein Loch im Boden, einen Baum und eine Bombe in zig verschiedenen Perspektiven, echt zäh zu lesen. Das letzte Drittel ist dann wieder ganz passabel. Das Buch muss man nicht unbedingt lesen, eher keine Empfehlung. Ich finde auch die Charaktere des Camel Club etwas künstlich, 2 Bände davon reichen mir

I've waited for a UK DVD issue of this for well over a decade. Sad that there's no blu ray, or indeed any extras of any kind, but this is still a nice step-up from my dubbed-from-VHS DVD-R.
Dreamchild is a beautiful, extremely well-made and wonderfully realised film, mostly based on fact. The film elegantly interweaves 80 year old Alice Hargreaves' memories and interpretations of the 'relationship' between Alice Liddell and Charles Dodgson (a relationship which provides the genesis of both '...Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass') on the way to receive an honorary degree from Columbia University in 1932.
It would have been easy for this film to have been either an unbearably saccharine slice of Victoriana or a prolonged and cynical deliberation on Dodgson's presumed paedophilia, but Potter's unusually subtle, restrained and well-informed script takes an entirely different approach, framing and reframing the story of Alice with the 'real life' of Alice through flashbacks, the recreation of scenes from the books, and a sub-plot involving her contemporary companion's relationship with one of the American journalists covering Alice's 'story'. Finally, Alice reaches an accommodation with both her life as a fictitional character and her relationship with Dodgson, which turns out to be far from the troubling, dark and seedy affair that has often been hinted at.
Performances are never less than superb (Ian Holm and Coral Browne are always great, but the younger performers really are faultless here) and whilst the narrative never explodes or shocks, it remains a fascinating, touching and hugely enjoyable story, effectively using the period settings and Jim Henson's Creature Workshop for the Wonderland vignettes. Viewers interested in Lewis Carroll would do well to check out Morton Cohen or Michael Bakewell's balanced and meticulously researched biographies.

Amazed to find this Denise Robins book for Kindle... I have almost all her books in paperback, but very old and getting fragile now, she was the Queen of Romance writing of her day.
But begs the question... why aren't more of these available for Kindle... come on amazon, if you can get one or two available, you can get others. I'd buy the lot.

I've stumbled upon an abbreviated version of this book, which contained only 500 pages, and I've so fallen in love with it that I had to purchase the whole rendering, which amounts to almost 2000 pages. There are two fully unabridged translations, and this one is simply excellent. Unlike some other reviewers I find the English language here more than adequate, and the style more than satisfactory, doing honor to the unique original book, I'm sure. The story takes place in old China, describing the life of a young nobleman,- inspired by the author's only son who died young,- his rich background, his loves and disappointments, all that in a mystical way yet with the most elaborated accent on the noble family's daily-life. There are no words to describe the fascination,- the aesthetic appeal that looms from every page,- the garden-scenes which get names in the form of short poems (not unlike the Haiku and Tanka traditional Japanese poems, probably inspired by this Chinese tradition). Reading this book makes the reader actually earn a PHD on the classical Chinese culture of 200-300 years ago, including their costumes, their habits,- (burying faded flowers, crying over them,- can there be anything more touching,- and charming?), their political plots,- the family described being that of noble people who serve the Emperor,- the differences between the masters and the servants, their foods, their sicknesses and cures. You walk with the heroes in their exquisite gardens, full of artificial mountains, brooks, bridges, and of course exotic trees and flowers, you breathe the typical scents, get acquainted with their daily life, the ranks of importance inside the family, (the old widowed grandmother being like their queen, entitled to beat her grownup sons with a cane...) the strict rules of courtship and marriage, their strange illnesses and remedies. Moreover, since the Chinese used to believe in tangible Gods and Goddesses, the other world mixes invariably with this life, and dreams can be simply visits beyond the clouds. Just like Shakespeare, this author too brings ghosts, Gods, magic spells and items into the plots, making the reader swim in the book as if inside the huge brain of interlaced heaven and earth, feasting on both interchangeably. Then come the intricate plots, many of them, interwoven in each other, each one a little drama in the best Shakespearean style, people living and dying for jealousy, envy, greed, treachery, chastity, love,- not unlike Romeo and Juliet, not Italian but Chinese. This book is simply unique, a marvel of beauty, tragedies, exultations, all discovered on each page. Maybe I should simply say that it's the most beautiful book I've ever read. Mind you, I have nothing to do with China, so I am impartial. Recommended with 50 stars out of 5!!! Enjoy!!!By the way it's been one of the 10 bestsellers of all times. So, I'm not alone. Join the "Redists", as the admirers of this book are officially called.... You'll find in it surprises of all kinds you've never dreamt of!!

Rispetto al romanzo d'esordio del personaggio(Casino Royale), in questa seconda avventura i temi e le situazioni assomigliano di più alla controparte cinematografica. Si tratta di una piacevole lettura non troppo impegnata.

Ich habe das Buch zu Weihnachten verschenkt. Jetzt hat mir der Beschenkte mitgeteilt, dass in diesem Buch in den Wörtern mit Umlauten und "ß"
an den Stellen wo die Umlaute sein sollten nichts steht. Das heißt die Umlaute wurden nicht aufgelöst, sondern die Buchstaben einfach weggelassen. So ist das Lesen des Buches ein ständiges Raten was die Worte bedeuten sollen.

By virtue of M. Harman's trenchant translations, Theo Z. begins to show you the art form of an "inveterate letter writer" called H. Hesse. If you don't know what inveterate means, you're not alone - I couldn't rightly place it either but, fortunately, TZ goes on to explain that between the ages of 4 and 85 yrs of age, Hesse sent over 30,000 letters/cards. T Ziolkowski abides in forewords/revised forwards/Edited By Lines but is always ready to assist a reader trying to iydll a few hours in the garden with Hesse. The lyrical quality to written Hesse easily captivates a certain type of reader in America, but only if the translation is prudent enough to account for the ignorance of the same readers who do not read German and have not had/made the opportunity to spend time in European culture. Soul of the Age converges a lifetime's worth of correspondences which leads readers through simple yet inexorable paths that lead somewhere new every time you walk or stroll through the book.

I really enjoyed this book and it's characters. Although the guards sometimes blurred together for me, and sometimes it got slow and predictable I still felt compelled to finish it. I really enjoyed kelsea and her personality. Mace and pen are also interesting. I found myself wanting to learn their back stories as well. The ending was much better than in some places. I did think the red queen and the darkness was super predictable and I hope the next book gets better but I did enjoy this book. I didn't like that there was many mentions of rape- and as someone who has faced sexual abuse I didn't like that it was blown off so easily by most characters in the book. I wanted andalie to kill her husband and I wanted to see all the pedophiles and rapist killed painfully. But kelsea is a compelling queen and I want to see who the fetch is...i'm wondering if her is her father or ancestor of some sort.

I started baby led weaning at 6 months with my baby and this helps protect the neck and chest area. It won't keep your baby from being messy though. If you want a mess free baby then you'll need to look into a baby apron or long sleeve bib. I usually just take the shirt off.
The bib is easy to clean right after eating. I thought the red sauce from pasta stained it since I didn't clean it right away but I just soaked it in some warm water with dawn soap and the stain was gone! The teething crackers was dried and stuck in the bib since I forgot to clean it but I just rinse/soaked it and everything came off.
The Velcro is easy to put on but my baby is now strong enough to yank it off. But he usually keeps it on until he's done eating. When he yanks at the bib after his food is gone that usually means he's done eating anyways. If you use a bib early on then baby won't hate it.
Baby can and will try to eat what does fall into the pocket which works sometimes. It does pretty well catching water when baby drinks. But baby will yank the bib and what ever is in the pocket will spill.
Cute design if you like Mario stuff. I wish there were more Mario options or more neutral colored options. It comes with 2 bibs, but wished it had 3.
Great gift idea. I bought the black and white mickey mouse for my sister and it comes with 3 bibs for that design.
Recommend if you want something light, portable, easy to clean.

I ordered these pjs for my grandniece and grandnephew. They are super soft, almost like Pima cotton, with nice, wide elastic waistbands. Both of these kids are very tall and very thin. Both fit perfectly. I wish the House logos were embroidery rather than it on on.

I needed a child reg wig for a Daphne costume. This was the cheapest I could find, so I purchased this and trimmed the front a bit to work for our needs. The wig was a but thin, we could see the cap in some places... but for the price I paid I'm satisfied.

Wow, the quality on this wallet was really surprising. You know when you buy themed products sometimes all you are paying is for the brand, but this wallet is of sturdy construction and well worth the money you'll pay because it's going to last a good long time. So quality, theme, and value.. .can't beat that!

「一番くじプレミアム」のけいおんシリーズはどれもアニメのキャラクター性を的確なポーズや表情でとてもよく表現されていると思います。
この梓も例に洩れず、下校時にギターを抱えて誰かを見つけた時のような、あどけない表情とポーズは梓のキャラクターが十分に発揮されているのではないでしょうか。
梓の一番の象徴とも言うべきツインテールも適度な開き具合（figmaはあまり開かなかった・・・）で満足です。
ただ個人的には梓のバストはもっと小さく表現してもよかったかな、とも感じました。
商品そのものはとても満足しているのですが、希少性の為か1/10モデルとしては異常な高価格で取引されている点に関してはとても残念に思います。

I love this bag but I wish there were more than one style. When I tried to find a Ravenclaw bag everything was very juvenile or didn't look good. I love the look and durability of this bag and even though the item description doesn't specifically say it's a Gryffindor bag it is. It has the Gryffindor crest on the flap and the letter G with the word Gryffindor underneath it on one of the bottom pockets. I wish they made the same bag in the other houses as well. I bought a lot of Ravenclaw and Harry Potter pins to cover all the Gryffindor items but with the colors it's still obviously for Gryffindor.

I don't know why someone answered the question about drawstrings saying there are not. There is MOST DEFINITELY a drawstring used as the closure for the main pouch!

Aside from lack of design option the biggest flaw are the snaps. I had the main snap and one of the pockets snaps fall off within a few weeks. I superglued them back on and they have held thus far, it's been about a month and a half. I also don't like the fact that two bottom pockets are snaps. It's not very safe when I'm on the train and bus as they are easily opened and even when closed there is a space gap that is shown so small things could potentially fall out if the bag fell over. I just keep things like snacks in it so I don't lose anything important, but it would be much nicer if they were zippered so I could keep other things in them.

A spaceship, long overdue, has returned from it's mission to Jupiter. Sam, a young intern doctor is called up on his Ambulance to arrive at a scene of death and destruction at Kennedy Airport in New York City. As he tries to find someone living among the many dead, the spaceship opens and one crew member comes out, deathly ill. He maganes to write one cryptic message before slipping into unconsiousness.
Soon, a plauge spreads through New York City, killing birds, and spreading from birds to humans. All attempts at treatment of the disease fail. People begin rioting, and martial law is put in place.
Sam must find a cure, but to do so he has to figure out what that cryptic message really means, and must fight against the politics of those in charge who won't listen.
All in all, a decent story. I did find some of the situations unrealistic. And, while there was a lot of attention paid to details of action, there wasn't as much in the way of plot development. Sam falls and another doctor fall in love, but there was very little building of the relationship other than the two of them working through some scary situations together.

I got these for my class store and the students (mostly boys) loved them. I don't think any of them are actually using them to erase anything, but they enjoy them all the same.

Great case a little blurry image not as perfect as shown on the pictures when I purchased but great for what I paid for. The case is great protection for my phone and most importantly the camera. Perfect grip as well. All potter fans I recommend.

So, I ordered several of these when they were add ons for about $3. My 13 month old is OBSESSED with balls. Any kind of ball, he flips out over.
So when I found these for $3 I knew he would love it, and I was right! Problem is, my Chesapeake Bay Retriever also loved it, apparently. She NEVER goes after any of his balls...she knows the difference between her toys and his, but I guess this particular ball was just too tempting.

So, I ordered 2 more (1 for back up and one to inflate and try again). Came home from work the next day....same damn thing. My dog just can't help herself around this particular ball (he has a similar rainbow ball that she never touches). And this is after we showed it to her and yelled "no" several times, which ALWAYS works.

So...point being, this is a great ball for kids, but if you have a large breed dog that is also obsessed with balls, GOOD LUCK!

I had the novel idea of filling our entry hallway from floor to ceiling with balloons for my wife's birthday. As luck would have it, she is intensely scared of balloons. Sheesh! Well, it's been over 4 days and most aren't losing any air. Normally balloons deflate on their own in a few hours or days, but these won't. Now I'm stuck with an unhappy wife, hopping over balloons until I risk popping them all and bringing the cops to the door.

I didn't have a single balloon pop while inflating them and I was using a 120 psi air compressor. That right there is pretty remarkable. If you're looking for balloons that won't pop and don't lose air, these are the ticket (provided your significant other doesn't have an irrational fear of them).

*UPDATE It's been two months since I inflated these balloons. I popped all but one. The one leftover balloon is still 3/4 full after 2 months. Remarkable!

TLDR: Avoid this mess! Watch a show series where you can actually learn something about Alaska. Alaska: The Last Frontier, Yukon Men or The Last Alaskans.

A lot of beautiful video scenery from land and in the air with a plane and drone. The highlight of the whole video is Bob. Listening to Bob talk and his ingenuity to build stuff reminds me a lot of Otto Kilcher from Alaska: The Last Frontier, so much so they seem like brothers.

Even though this has no profanity or questionable content making it watchable for all ages, most kids will get bored and do something interesting, like watch grass grow or paint dry. The adults can snooze til the video is over.

Quite a few weird transitions, poorly used crescendo music like something really big is happening but no, it's just Paul, the video creator, standing and looking around at the water, forest, on a lake in a canoe etc. When Paul is narrating his voice is very nasal sounding and annoying.

The video is divided into two "Chapters." Which is really lame cause "chapter 1" makes up the majority of the movie. "Chapter 1" had many scenes that repeat, thinking to myself, "Wasn't that just said a few minutes ago?" or "Wasn't that just said a few minutes ago a slightly different way?" After this happened a few times and continued to happen I knew I wasn't imagining it.

During "chapter 1" Bob, Scott and Paul talk a little about themselves and why they choose to live in a remote part of Alaska. Too many scene cuts in the middle of conversations with guy #1 and than switch over to a conversation with guy #2 and then back to guy #1 where that conversation left off. Made the conversations disjointed and less enjoyable.

The ending in "chapter 2" was interesting watching Paul build another cabin. Should've been more of that instead of the endless scenery and crescendo music.

Paul has somehow got several more of his videos posted on Prime Video. I read the one star reviews for some of the other videos. They sound worse than this video. I will be avoiding everything from Paul Hemann.

I wish I could give this zero stars. I preserved specifically for my Epson WF7710 and it is not for my printer. I did not notice it was wrong until I went to place the cartridge into my printer. I trusted the description and myself not being a printer wiz I thought what I received was correct. The color sequence does not match the printer. I did not find this out until the ink was already loaded so now I can’t return because the ink was put in and not I’m out $60 for the ink I put into it. If you have a epson wf7110 this will not work for you. You can see my printer color sequence and the cartridge they sent color sequence. Does not match at all and unable to move them around. I am so pissed I lost over $100 buy this

My former go-to pen (and I am just a tad bit of a pen freak) was the Uniball .38 point which I bought at Staples. But my job changed and now getting to Staples is totally inconvenient for me. I looked on Amazon for them, but they weren't there. However, I saw these .3 tip pens by Pentel. I have .5 tip pens by Pentel that I love also, so decided to try these. I have a new love in pens!! The line is the perfect size, it's smooth, it doesn't skip. I am in love with this pen!!!

The product description is deceptive. Out of 5 panels, only 2 are sheepskin. The flat part that touches your ear, and the outer rim are both sheepskin, but the inner rim that touches parts of your ear, base, and the part that wraps around the headphones are all fake plastic leather. If you read the bad reviews on other Brainwavz fake leather cups, and look at the pictures those customers have uploaded, it is clear that their fake leather begins to flake terribly after a year of use, which is why I bought what is advertised as "sheepskin." However, it is clear that these will flake on the inside of the earcup where there is fake plastic leather instead of the sheepskin it is advertised as.

These also have truly terrible quality control. I had to get replacements from Brainwavz after much fuss, and it took 6 earpads to finally get 2 that were the same size and not super lopsided. I've attached pictures showing drastically different sizes and crazy lopsidedness that would prevent a good seal against your ear/head.

If you're willing to pay $50 for a deceptive product, and also magically happen to get a set of well-made earpads on your first try, then these do actually sound good. The foam feels about the same as my broken in stock earpads (although tbd if they hold up or compress with age), and the depth of the pads is also very similar to the stock pads, so the sound signature and sound stage sounds very similar, if not the same. However, I suggest trying the NewFantastia Sheepskin Earpads for Audio Technica ATH-M series earpads instead because they are less than half the price and are made entirely of sheepskin leather, although they are not as good looking because they don't have as many seams, but they're basically the same shape as the stock ones but with leather, so the sound signature should be retained.

This is item I been looking for while to have as decoration in our house .Finally find color that I was looking for and our cat approved it and he loves how soft it is (makes good resting area for him too ).It is super soft, thick and worth of every penny I paid for it .I am looking to get one in white too in our different room .I had so many compliments so far and love that I purches one finally

First, I ordered these yesterday and they arrived this morning. Can't ask for more than that. Packaging is first class, so somebody cares. Yes, the pockets have a mesh lining. Perfectly OK with me, but agreeably different. The color and build quality seems good. I live in Texas so these pants will do just fine, regarding the fact that the fabric is not real thick, but medium weight. I needed a pair of work pants when I'm out doing surveying. Wearing them for the first time, right now, I am pleased. One fellow mentioned the belt loops near the front zipper should be closer. Hm....not sure I would have noticed if he hadn't said something. I will do a follow up review and cover that and more. I ordered 34x30. I would say this is exactly what I go. I am short and am happy that the 30" aspect is not longer than I expected. So this is good. Sure, I would have ordered 34x29 if it was offered but as I say, the 30" is not longer than advertised. So very happy with that. Ideally I would have ordered 33x29. Tiny bit big, but I understood this. I am thinking after a first wash and dry this might improve. If not, still pleased. I need pants that are not tight. I am a big fan of zipper pockets on work pants and is why I ordered these. Climbing all over the Texas Hill Country looking for survey pins I do not want to loose my wallet, etc. Zipper pockets are more secure. I will update this review ASAP. I hate buying clothes using a method where I can't try them on in a store but in this case all has worked out.

It doesn’t quite fit right. The camera cut outs are slightly off and the very edge of my “flash” light is covered. It seems to barely wrap around the sides of the phone and lock onto the front. Very thin like they said so that was nice. It’s a big phone so a big case could make it worse. It will do it’s job until I find a good case I’m willing to spend my money on. Not a terrible product but they could have taken a little more time making it.

As a Pro photographer and technologist, here are my opinions on this phone.
For me any purchase should have definite aims to acquire any item.

For me, as far as a mobile is concerned, important aspects are:
1. Communication quality as a phone.
2. The audio and video quality as a playback system.
3. Now a day's, the quality of camera plays an important role.
4. Gaming is important, for a particular segment of buyers.
5. Look, feel and overall quality, including water proof requirements.
6. Reliability & Service facility.

My conclusions for Vivo 50X Pro, my views are:
1. Communications:
5G support - Yes, available - although we will not be able to use this in the near future.
Signal picking up capabilities are quite good.
Overall communication skills are appreciative
2. Playback:
The screen is very good(Resolution & Colour). Kindly do not bother about the refreshing rate of 90,120,etc.
3. Camera:
Considering the technology and cost, Vs. Camera quality, you do not have any better option and this is THE BEST, as of today.
The GIMBAL along with the hardware + software is the best in the market; equivalent to cameras close to or above Rs. 1 lakh.
if you are looking for a camera mobile then you can surely buy this without any doubt.
4. Gaming:
I am not a gamer, hence no deep comments-however I feel that there are many alternatives for game is even at a lower cost.
5. Look & Feel:
Looks decent - nothing to praise.
Not water resistant, if it is important to you
3.5 mm audio jack is missing but available as an adapter
Charging and many other aspects - for as an average user you can take it as at par with any mobile at this price range.
There is no point in throwing processor numbers 765 & 875, etc. for a normal user.
Note: As a technologist, I assure you that: See... there are many differences in many ways - but for an average user, these have very minimal value in our general use. each Phone has some things Extra advantage, & surely there will be some disadvantage - nothing will be perfect.
Note: I have evaluated many of the Photo & Phone comparisons published online - my opinion is that,if you keep watching more, you will get more confused. Truth is that, if I take 2 shots, in the same settings in the same camera, it will be different - kindly examine the green chilly shot, taken in consecutively.
Is my review useful to you? Your feedback can help me to refine this - Thanks (Shall update, shortly)

Very good product i feel very comfortable in this product that type of experience i never get in my life and cheap and worthy

Mostly I quilt. But I do other stuff too. I really don't like struggling to keep the fabric moving along an imaginary line.
I've gotten pampered by my 1/4" quilting presser foot. Having this adjustable presser foot will help me when I need other widths for clothing and so on.
The foot snaps on easily, as I would expect on my Brother sewing machine. It is light weight. I didn't mark durability yet only because I have not put it through exhaustive testing yet. But I can speak to the appearance of the workmanship. The guidelines are accurate for mm and fractions of inch! THANK YOU! The guide snaps snugly into place and a few short test runs saw no movement of the guide.

I look forward to using this foot.

Wir haben den Kaffeevollautomat Siemens EQ.3 s100 TI351509DE mit Keramikmahlwerk am 18.11.2019 bestellt und er wurde bereits am 20.11.2019 sehr schnell geliefert. Dafür an dieser Stelle unseren herzlichen Dank. Wir waren in den ersten Tagen begeistert von den ausgegebenen Getränken. Aber dann stellten wir fest, dass bei Cappucino und Latte Macchiato das ursprüngliche Erscheinungsbild sehr stark eingeschränkt wurde: kaum noch Schaum bei der immer gleich verwendete Milch und dem gleichen Kaffee sowie eine merkliche Abkühlung der Getränke zu eher lauwarm.

Ein Aufruf der Werkseinstellung brachte dann wieder das gewünschte Ergebnis. Aber leider wieder nur für knapp eine Woche. Dann hatten wir wieder das gleiche Problem mit dem Milchschaum und der Temperatur. Manuelle Einstellungen über die Verlängerung der Aufschäumdauer brachten auch nur kurz eine Änderung. Nach dem dann wieder eingetretenen "schlechten" Ergebnis: nochmaliger Aufruf der Werkseinstellung. Wieder ging es eine runde Woche gut, dann wieder sehr geringer Milchschaum und nur lauwarme Getränke.

Der letzte Aufruf der Werkseinstellungen hat jetzt wieder eine Woche für akzeptable Getränke gesorgt. Jetzt ist es aber wieder - mit "schöner" Regelmäßigkeit - so weit, dass man die Getränke nicht wie erwartet genießen kann.

Es ist eine Zumutung, wenn wir regelmäßig im Wochentakt das Gerät auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen müssen um akzeptable Getränke zu erhalten. Aus diesem Gerät kann man seinen Freunden kein Getränk anbieten.

Es handelt sich wohl um eine sogen. "Montagsproduktion" und wir haben eine Rücksendung initiiert. Wenn das Austauschgerät bessere Ergebnisse zeigt, werde ich die Bewertung natürlich hochsetzen.

Da Espresso und Cafe Crema akzeptabel sind: z.Z. 2 **

UPDATE

Die Neulieferung des Kaffeevollautomaten hat durch Amazon superschnell funktioniert. Wir haben das neue Gerät am Dienstag den 17.12. erhalten. Natürlich sofort aufgebaut. Und ... alles super.

Am Mittwoch wurden wir den ganzen Tag über mit heißen und wohlschmeckenden Getränken verwöhnt. Es keimte die Bestätigung auf, dass der Vorgänger doch eine "Montagsproduktion" gewesen ist.

Der Donnerstagmorgen brachte ebenfalls die gewünschten heißen und wohlaussehenden wie auch geschmacklich guten Getränke hervor. Soweit waren wir zufrieden.

Dann kam der Donnerstag-Nachmittag: Latte die Erste: kaum (um nicht zu sagen "kein") Schaum, Temperatur nur mäßig. Zweiter Versuch am Nachmittag: gleiches schlechte Ergebnis und das diesmal nach nur 2 Tagen!!!

Also wieder auf Werkseinstellungen mit dem gleichen schlechten Ergebnis.

Zur Sicherheit (obwohl wir es ja mittlerweile oft genug durchgeführt haben) noch einmal auf Werkseinstellungen. Leider wieder mit dem desolaten Ergebnis.

Sorry (an Amazon) wenn wir auch dieses Gerät wieder zurückgeben müssen, aber von einem Kaffeevollautomat erwartet man doch länger als zwei Tage ein akzeptables Ergebnis. Und das jetzige Problem: selbst bei Werkseinstellungen kommt (so wie bei der ersten Lieferung zumindest für ca. 1 Woche) hier kein korrektes Ergebnis.

Wir suchen uns jetzt eine Maschine von einem anderen Hersteller und hoffen, etwas mehr "Glück" mit einem anderen Anbieter zu haben.

Leider kann ich der angedeuteten, besseren Bewertung durch die gemachten Erfahrungen nicht nachkommen. Da sich die Situation durch die zweite Maschine noch verschlechtert hat: lediglich nur noch 1*

After reading all of the reviews I decided to purchase the AmazonBasics office chair. I like the fact that it is light weight to move yet very sturdy to sit in. It does start to feel hard after a few hours of sitting in it. The seat height adjustment is great to have and works well. I lower the seat to put on my shoes and raise it again while sitting at the computer. There were a few comments about the vinyl covering. It looks very nice and feels very soft. I don't know how long the covering will last. All-in-all the AmazonBasics office chair is a good value for the money. Be careful when installing the seat to armrest screws. They will strip on you and/or the threads will pull out the chair stuffing if you miss the hole while turning the screws in.

I bought 2 of the "High Speed HDMI Cable, 4K HDMI Cable iVanky 6.6 ft HDMI 2.0 Cable 18Gbps, 4K HDR, 3D, 2160P, 1080P, Ethernet - Braided HDMI Cord 30AWG". What I use them for is to connect a Samsung 3-D Blu-ray player to a Denon rec./amp and another to go from the Denon rec./amp. to a Samsung UHD TV. The sound and picture seem to be great. I've only had this set up a couple of weeks but everything seems to work perfect. I have no idea how they work with computers or other items. But this I do know: The company that I bought the Denon rec./amp. wanted to sell me 2 HDMI cables that were over $30.00 each. I bought both of these from Amazon at $16.00- or less- for both cables. iVANKY has written me and asked if I've had any problems and has reminded me that their products come with a life time warranty. That makes me very trusting of this company. Legally, they've given me in writing that I have a life time warranty. That's putting your money and reputation where your mouth is. You won't see many business' doing that.

I was skeptical about the quality of the items included with this kit when I ordered, thought it was too good to be true for the price. I was very pleasantly surprised! This has everything you need, aside from the guns themselves, to have an ultimate battle with your best bud or bro. The vests are well made and are larger than I thought they'd be. If I were to pick a clothing size, I'd say they run at about a kids 14/16, as it fit my 5'2, 125lb frame quite comfortably. I compared the darts to others we already have and found that these are just as sturdy, are indeed compatible with the nerf guns we have, but do have a slightly harder plastic tip than the darts that came with our guns. I don't allow headshots, but I'm glad this kit came with protective eyewear as missed shots do happen on occasion. Overall, I'm so happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone with youngsters that like to play with nerf guns.

To die for.... This salty licorice candy with its hard shell is not for sissies or people who are watching their salt intake.
The "hot pepper" center is a great surprise. It. Is. Awesome !!
A Must Try for the black licorice connoisseur.

I soon realized that the box that came with Bowser and Mario is different from the picture and not just that but it was difficult to remove Bowser from the package. The paint looks faded on Bowser and he looks so different in some weird way. I have this gut feeling I might have gotten a bootleg. Correct me if I'm wrong but it just wasn't what I ordered. I wanted the box to be the same as picture with the "World of Nintendo" logo in front of the box and not this cheap knockoff. I feel a bit disappointed but I will keep both Mario and Bowser and will try and buy in the future the 44 dollar Bowser. Hopefully it won't be as bad as this one. I don't recommend it. It looks too fragile and it might break if I keep moving the arms and legs of the figure. I really wanted to give a positive review but the box and Bowser figure got me unhappy.
