OMG...What an AMAZING debut novel. E.L. Montes knocked it out of the park on this one. This was a love story but not your typical hearts and flowers type love story. This book kind of reminded me of Bared to You in the sense of the Hero and Heroine were very dysfunctional and flawed. This was definitely a roller coaster of emotions. Marcus and Mia's relationship reminded me of Eva and Gideon in the respect that they probably shouldn't be together but for some reason they just work well together. I do feel that Marcus and Mia's relationship was rushed a little in the beginning, it wasn't insta-love but it did happen over a very short period of time. I truly loved the suspense element to this story. Ms. Montes kept me guessing until close to the end. I had a feeling about it and was partially right. The suspense made me want to keep turning the pages, I just had to see what Marcus was hiding and how things would turn out. I was happy with the ending knowing that there will be another book to follow. I would say that this book is a HFN (happy for now) ending, with not really a cliffhanger but an epilogue that segues into the next book. You could definitely read this book without driving yourself insane waiting for the next one. With that said I am anxiously awaiting the next book, I can't wait to see where she takes Marcus and Mia. They have a long road ahead of them. This is a MUST READ!!!!! One for my favs shelf:)

Gotta tell you what I just heard ...

kitchen faucets review All Over World Orchestra REMASTERED

All Over World Orchestra REMASTERED

Whether or not this collection is "complete" is irrelevant, because you cannot possibly fit all of ELO's greatest songs on one disc. These guys have been recording off and on since 1971, and they have an amazing body of work.

For me, I just judge it based upon the listening experience provided by each individual song. On that basis, all I can say is WOW. From the opening blast of "Mr. Blue Sky" through the pop brilliance of "Sweet Talkin' Woman" and the eccentric romp "Diary of Horace Wimp" and the recently re-recorded Jeff Lynne version of "Xanadu" and the galloping guitars of "Alright" from ZOOM and the closing retro kick of "Rock and Roll is King," each track is a new revelation. Of course, you've got the mammoth hits like "Don't Bring Me Down," "Telephone Line," "Strange Magic," "Shine a Little Love," and "Evil Woman" all sandwiched in there too.

As for the sonic boom here, it's huge! Each song sounds more clear and BIG than ever before. It's a great way to introduce a friend to ELO or to refresh your own happy memories of them. Get in your car, put on a rocker like "Ma-Ma-Ma Belle," roll down your windows, and hit the gas. This is pure driving music, baby!

bike trailer Flat Out Matt Jessica Park

Flat Out Matt Jessica Park

I recently read and greatly enjoyed Jessica Park's book Flat-Out Love. I start by saying this only because Flat-Out Matt MUST...I repeat MUST...be read AFTER reading Flat-Out Love. This was a great companion book to Flat-Out Love, and I'm glad I was able to read both so close together. Also, please let me note that I do my best to not spoil any of Flat-Out Love, but it might not be totally avoidable. Read with caution.

This book was an essential addition to my enjoyment of FOL. While I enjoyed a majority of that book, the chapters in Flat-Out Matt that were told in Matt's POV enhanced my understanding of the romance in the story. I feel that seeing the same events but from another character's view gave new insight into things. It's also a great story to see various side from due to the nature of things.

What was also a great part of FOM was the prequel chapters and the chapters near the end. From these chapters and the rest of the ones included in this book, I grew to admire Matt more than from FOL alone. I also think that having only a select few chapters "re-told," instead of the entire book, was a great choice by the author. It gives just enough of what a reader might want to relive but doesn't provide too much which could kill the enjoyment of reading something "again.

I'm not normally a reader who'd want to read a story from a different character's point of view. For the most part, I feel that a story is told from one POV (if it's a one POV type of book) for a reason and shouldn't be touched, but I'm glad I picked this one up. Flat-Out Love is still in my mind even a week after finishing it. It's story will stick with me for quite a while. Now that I've finished Flat-Out Matt, I feel that there's even more to enjoy about the story/stories. Park's book(s) will definitely be in the running for favorite books of 2013 when the time comes.

DustAid Platinum DSLR Sensor Cleaner

This silicone tamper is a quick aid for medium duty jobs. It's fast, easy, and grabs most the stuff your blower won't dislodge. The price is decent too. I'm glad I discovered it and will recommend it to fellow shooters.

Unfortunately, there's no single solution to cleaning the electronic dust-magnet (otherwise known as 'your sensor') in your camera. You need a multifaceted approach and it will require many tools to attack the array of dust, micro-strand fibers, and unnamed weirdness that is layering itself on your images. Start with the trusty blower, then use this tamper. If you need more force you could skip the static-charged brush and go straight for the wet method if the blight won't release on the tamper. Be persistent with your attempts and you'll win in the end.

A sweet, clean romance series!

bike Wild Montana Sky Series ebook

Wild Montana Sky Series ebook

The characters in Wild Montana Sky came alive for me. It was a pleasure reading about a 19th century heroine who behaved like a real woman of her time, with strong emotions and physical reactions but no inappropriate sexual involvements. Not only did I care deeply about Elizabeth, but Nick also felt three-dimensional, a real man as well as a hero.

Debra Holland has created a textured story with believable period details. From the start, I was caught up in Elizabeth's dilemma as her manipulative sister-in-law made her home unlivable. Her experiences in traveling to Montana and adapting to an entirely different way of life made for an engrossing read. And the author maintained the suspense, both about the relationship and about a seriously ill child, right to the end.

Fans of traditional romances as well as Little Women and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman will enjoy this book.

Seasons Moon Series Books ebook

In a course I took on the American literature of the 1920s, the professor began his discussion of "The Sun also Rises" by calling our attention to a minor, sidebar scene: Jake and Georgette promenade in in Paris in the early evening past the window of the Herald Tribune offices. Jake explains to Georgette that the clocks displayed in the window show the hour in each of the four time zones across America. Georgette, who is a prostitute from Belgium, looks at the clocks in the window and says: "Don't kid me."

It is an odd little scene, and on the face of it doesn't make sense. But it is the key to the book. The novel is about time and death. For Georgette and Jake, who are survivors of the 1914-18 war, time doesn't exist in the traditional sense. For the survivors of the war, as for the dead, time is understood to be over.

In the 19th century, most Americans considered the passage of time to be a metronome of human progress. The equation of time with progress was a form of boosterism, born from the great success of the industrial revolution and the Westward expansion of the country. As time went on, things got bigger, better, faster, richer and further West. Time and progress were synonymous.

For the war generation, this naively optimistic view of time and industrial progress ended abruptly and in it ended in violence. It seemed that industrial progress had paid itself off in the industrialization of death - the machine gun, the French 75s, the recoilless artillery of Krupp.

The Great War was not a gallant, romantic, sabers on horseback conflict like that depicted in late 19th century newspaper accounts of the Spanish American war. The Great War of 1914-18 came to be seen, from the point of view of writers in the 1920s, as an unfair fight between men and (indifferent, impersonal, efficient) killing machines. A highly mechanized slaughterhouse.

Hemingway's generation, the so-called "lost generation," was lost in fact. A generation died in the war. The statistics of mortality were for those days stunning and incredible.

The novel is set in Paris around 1924, six years after the armistice. For the characters who were soldiers or survivors like Jake and Georgette, the daily circuit of the sun is a clock without purpose. Time is meaningless to them, just as it is to the dead. Hence, the sun "also" rises. It happens every morning of course but it is an event that occurs off to one side. It does not bring the hope of a new dawn, it does not mean "life goes on." In this novel, emphatically, life does not go on - there is no progress.

The war survivors' perception of time has shrunk to the present moment, in which they live. They elaborately avoid looking back - the war is just a huge hole in their personal stories -- and they cannot look forward, in the sense of "looking forward to" a superior future. For the survivors of the war, time has been turned around, flipped. Death has already happened - it is behind them. They do see the sun rise and set. But although time passes, it does not really go anywhere.

The passage of time into a brighter future, the progress of the sun through a succession of time zones across the US from east to west - all this strikes the Belgian survivor, Georgette, as utter nonsense. "Don't kid me." She says.

The war is the silent, unmentionable core of The Sun Also Rises, but the characters sometimes mention it inadvertently, in asides, and the reader gets tiny glimpses of what happened to these people the war, and what it did to them.

They never move forward. Writers start, or fail to start, books that they never finish. Love affairs lead to nothing, no marriages and no babies. There is a constant theme of drinking to coast through the present and to forget the past. Another diversion is an obsessive concentration on the sensual minutia of the present moment. Jake, a former combat pilot who has suffered some sort of wound to his groin, never detailed, is outside of time in the biological sense that he cannot reproduce. He has lost his "line", that is, the line of familial and biological continuity between past and future.

Conflicts in the book frequently arise as mutually amazed confrontations between Americans who skipped the war, and still have their 19th century sense of optimism and progress and honor intact -- and the "new" Americans like Hemingway - expatriates from American space but, more importantly, from the old American sense of time as something positive. In what has probably become the most famous line in the book Jakes says: "I mistrust all frank and simple people, especially when their stories hold together." As an American war veteran, Jake himself has a huge rip through his own story.

This year, The Sun Also Rises is 80 years old. Frozen in time, exactly as Hemingway intended. A difficult, complicated book that is, nevertheless, very easy to read.

Game Changer

shoes review The River Blind Allison Grayhurst

The River Blind Allison Grayhurst

I ordered the Motoactiv as a Christmas gift (as is tradition in my family, we order our own gift, and another family member reimburses you) for myself, early in December.

At first I figured I would only wear it during workouts, now i wear it all the time, as a watch, basal metabolic rate calculator, pedometer, and as an easy way to discreetly check text messages at work.

When paired with a heart rate monitor (garmin premium hrm works great) and bluetooth headphones ( I picked up the LG Tone+) it is true workout bliss.

I originally picked up the Motoactiv so that I could have a small wireless music player, rather than be tethered by earbuds to my cell phone. At the time the fitness tracking features were just a nice bonus. After 1 month the Motoactiv has changed how I look at fitness and how I workout. Now when doing cardio I am much more cognizant of my heart rate, and work out intensity.

Outside the GPS tracking picks up quickly and is very accurate, it displays a map and your track, as well as distance, altitude and time. You can customize what metrics are displayed.

Inside without calibration the distance meter is pretty accurate, if you choose to calibrate it (walking or running on a treadmill for a set time then entering the distance traveled into the Motoactiv) or use a foot pod it is very very accurate

Personally I think this device shines with the golf features. The 8gig now also supports golfers. You set up what states you play in, what clubs are in your bag, and your distances you hit and what tee boxes your playing from. Once that is done, when you walk onto the course the gps tracker locates you, displays the course, and begins acting as your digital caddie, telling you distance to the pin, and suggesting what club to use. It even tracks swings!

I have been very very happy with my purchase.
The only negatives I have encountered were with initial bluetooth pairing , it took about 5 tries. Once it was paired for the first time with my LG Tone+ headphones it has found them every time after with ease.

If your going to wear it everyday i would suggest a screen protector.

lights review Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG6580 Wireless

Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG6580 Wireless

Alright, so my Comcast internet went from 18 mbps to 26 mbps download and approximately 6mbps to 5mbps upload (I'm wireless on this). There's less wires and clutter now that I have one box.

Having said that, this is not for the faint of heart. I had to log in and straighten out the following problems:

1. Android phone (Motorola Droid Bionic) would not connect (didn't check my wife's iphone4)
2. PS3 would not connect
3. MacBook pro would not connect
4. PC would not connect
5. VPN would not connect

Here's what I did today, following what others said to do in the reviews, and my own tweaking:

Step 1: Provision with Comcast and Upgrade
- Call Comcast and ask them to both provision your new modem and push the latest firmware (SBG6580-3.5.8.2-GA-00-488-NOSH as of the date of this review).
- Hard restart the modem (pull out the power from the back, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in, rep should ask you to do that)

Step 2: Get your PC up and running (this solved my PC connection issue)
- Plug an ethernet cable to your laptop and plug it into any of the four ports in the back of the modem.
- Try to surf to any site. If this doesn't work, click Start, type "cmd" (no quotes) in the search bar in the bottom, and you should get the command prompt. Type "ipconfig /release" (again, no quotes), and then "ipconfig /renew". You should now be able to surf to any site.

Step 3: Change your device's Wireless Settings (resolves Android phone issue and PS3 issue)
- Open a web browser of your choice and type (...)
- At the login screen, type "admin" for username, and "motorola" for password.
- At the top of the link, choose the "Wireless". Leave all options alone - in particular, leave 802.11 band at "2.4 GHz" - raising it to 5 GHz blocked my phone from seeing the wifi entirely. I could literally toggle between the options and watch wifi disappear on my phone.
- Next, on the left, click on "Primary Network". You can change the Network Name and WPA Pre-Shared Key (your password) to something easier than the default (found on a sticker at the bottom of the modem).
- On the far right is an option for Automatic Security Configuration. The dropdown menu has "WPS" and "Disabled" as your option - choose "Disabled", as enabling this blocks the PS3 from connecting to the network (although unlike the Android, you'll be able to see it, just not connect). This solves the PS3 connectivity issue.

Step 4: Change Firewall Settings (helped with my VPN client)
- This resolved VPN issues, my VPN client wasn't getting through.
- At the top menu, click on Firewall and then make Firewall setting "low" or "medium" ("high" will kill it).
- If IP Flood detection is checked off here, uncheck this as this was known to give problems.

Step 5: Connecting macbook pro
- MacBook was finding the network and acting like it connected, but when trying to surf the web, it would claim it was offline.
- Turned out the DNS settings were not updating properly, and this had to be configured manually on the mac (I've seen this on other wifi networks with the macbook pro, I think this is a bug with the mac's wifi provisioning utility.
- While logged in to your modem (remember, it's (...), login: admin, password: motorola), click "Basic" on the top nav menu and then look for "IPv4 DNS Servers". Write that down somewhere, especially the one listed at the Primary.
- On your macbook, click on the wifi icon on your macbook, choose "Open Network Preferences", click the "Advanced" tab on the bottom right, then click "DNS". Click the plus sign to add a DNS manually. Mine was 75.75.75.75

Since this is my first day with the device, I'll come back and subtract stars if I start seeing frequent resets as has been the complaint with older software revs of this device.

Nobody does doom better than Sabbath!

car stereo God Is Dead

God Is Dead

Ok, I just listened to the song. I wish I would have not read the reviews. I sat there after that and thought "great something I have been wishing for since the Reunion cd and it is going to suck" And I have never been happy to be wrong in my life. This song was awesome in everyway possible. I have no clue what people are talking about. This was exactly what people have said "Satanic Blues". And I am not giving them a free pass. Not even when I know Tony is getting chemo. I still expect them to do a great job. And not only is the passable and professional. It is amazing and it is classic Sabbath. Yes I say that, but with a caveat. Understand that something that can be classic with also bring ing something new to it. I would rather have change than the same thing over and over. If you want that then just listen to the albums already out. And enjoy those. For me I am looking forward to "13". June cannot come long enough. But hey at least my birthday is the 8th..so nice birthday present.

silver heels review House Mango Street Sandra Cisneros

House Mango Street Sandra Cisneros



4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars

A top book in the genre, May 14, 1999

By A Customer

There is a growing genre of books by people of Latin, Asian, and African-American heritage, describing their lives and cultures, often in juxtaposition to the Anglo mainstream they may or may not have dealings with. The House on Mango Street fits into this genre, and at the same time extends it. Cisneros writes with a deeply personal voice. At her core she is an individual, a watcher, as are most children; she happens also to be a girl in a Latino neighborhood. The people and events in this community are distilled through her eyes into small fables, moral lessons, and epiphanies: the moments and connections that shape a child into the adult she will become. The rhythmic songs of rope-jumpers, a drunk on the street, the potency of one's first pair of high-heeled shoes, the cruelty and kindness of friends; she takes them all in, using everything as food to nourish her dream of someday having her own house. It's not surprising that the adult Seasoners indeed does, nor that its eccentricity puts some of her neighbors on edge - but those are stories from other books of hers, equally worth reading.

I had never before heard of the godwit!

ring The Long Journey Godwits Migration

The Long Journey Godwits Migration

The shards of an egg lay beneath the long legs of a "little female bar-tailed godwit." Her mother looks down at her fuzzy chick who began to peep at her. "Peep! Peep! The midnight Alaskan sky still gave off plenty of light in June and other young godwit chicks could be seen in the distance. The little chick was the last to hatch and already her sisters and brothers were hunting insects with their father. The chicks don't wander far from their nest for a couple of days. The family forages in the grass in search of food, but when it is time to rest "their parents take turns sitting on them to keep them warm."

They all need to eat, but the "parents need to double their body weight before fall" in anticipation for their long migration. The grasses are home to insects and soon the little godwit wanders in search of them. A lone Arctic fox searches for his food in the grass and sees the little chick, but "her father spots the fox and squawks a warning." Other adult godwits join in the attack and she is safe ... for now. During the course of a month her downy fur gives way to feathers and she's "hopping and flapping her wings." Soon it will be time for her to fly.

This is a charming, lyrical tale of godwit life and their migration. The story is told in a picture book format, making it more appealing to a wider audience. We watch the godwit chick from the time she emerges from her shell to the time she is old enough to migrate to New Zealand. The artwork, a combination of watercolor and collage, is quite graceful and captures the very essence of the godwit. In the back of the book is a fast facts section, "Godwits Are Amazing," a personal perspective from the author, and recommended book and video resources to explore. There are additional complementary educational resources on the publishers website.

Love Air Penguin Young Readers

Michele is an amazing photographer and has taken photos of my family for the past 5 years. She has literally watched our children grow up through the lens of her camera and year after year has worked her magic to get incredible photos that we have shared with our friends and family. My wife and I are always awe-struck at her photography abilities and having this book to learn her tips and tricks directly is great!

I am a very amateur photographer and have dabled in more than point and shoot after buying my first DSLR a couple years ago. Michele's book is chock full of information that will be very helpful for me in taking my skills up to the next several levels.

Buttock-Kicker II

wedge sandals review Samsung NX1100 Digital Camera 20 50mm

Samsung NX1100 Digital Camera 20 50mm

I bought this when it first came out in 2007 (not 2009 like the web page states) and listened to it constantly in my car for over a month... then let it sit in a pile of CD's for awhile (while getting acquainted with a new gf), before getting it back into the CD player, and rediscovering what an absolutely brilliant record this is! (yes, I'm kinda old that way, still call 'em 'records', haha)
No matter the song, hard, soft, heavy, mellow, folky, classic doomy metal, hippyish....the music seems to be perfectly done. Vocals, guitars, drums, everything is spot on.... I've always loved the guitar tones and textures and contrasts of Franklin/Wartell and the guys don't let me down here. They can play in tandem, play harmonies, swap between rythm and fills/leads, it's as flawless as ever, and better than most I've heard...right up there with Tipton/Downing IMHO...
Anyway, good songs, great vocals, awesome riffs, and not a 'click thru' song on the CD... I can sit and drive, listen, and not get to a piece I don't wanna hear!
I just finished listening to the old faves Black Sabbath Vol. 4 and Black Sabbath 1...and this follows nicely, doesn't seem out of place with the old Doom favorites...
Also, it's nice to see that my all time favorite Trouble Album, 1990's 'Trouble' is now available here as an MP3 download, so no more looking for $50-60 CD's on EBAY!!!
Highly recommended!!!

Crack in The Sky/ By Terry C. Johnston

buy silver heels Crack Titus Bass Terry Johnston

Crack Titus Bass Terry Johnston

This book, a prequel to the wonderfully written novel "Carry the Wind", is one of the best books in the 9 volume Titus Bass series. What I liked most about this particular entry in the series is that the reader experiences how Bass comes into his own as a free trapper in the Rocky Mountain West of the 1820-1830's. The period dialogue, action, and Johnston's masterful depiction of the scenery help establish a strong sense of period and place.

As with all of Johnston's works, this volume weaves fictitious characters into real historical events. The writing is captivating, action-packed, and brutally realistic. I found the depiction of the battle between Bass and a long-sought foe to be particularly violent and graphic yet it was necessary to the story. The world lost a wonderful writer and historian when Johnston died in 2001; luckily he left us with his writings. Anyone wanting to read a great work of historical fiction or anyone who is a student of the fur trade, Indian Wars, or Western American history simply can't go wrong with one of Johnston's books and "Crack in the Sky" is among the best.

wotches man Elijah William H Stephens

Elijah William H Stephens

This story, based on the Old Testament book(s) in the Bible starts with the corruption of the Israelites by the swaying of crafty Pheonicians. It delves into the story a great number of Israelites ruled by KIng Ahab and of course his wife, Queen Jezebel dropped their faith in God and turned to the Baalism (primarily, the pagan gods, Merlkart and Ashura).

It gives incite when:
Prophet Elijah pronounces the famine to King Ahab. Elijah
Elijah being fed by the Ravens, the famished widow and her son,

xbox review Jonathan Livingston Seagull Original Soundtrack

Jonathan Livingston Seagull Original Soundtrack

My brother introduced me to this record just after it was first released some 28 years ago. I can remember the occasion as if it were yesterday. I was sleeping late on a Saturday morning and I was awakened by music echoing through the house. Music that was haunting, expressive, flowing. Words that were insightful, thoughtful, introspective and, most of all, moving.

Eventually, I got up and went downstairs to find out what I had been listening to, and I discovered that it was Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Neil Diamond. Well, I was captivated; truly, deeply captivated. I'd rarely heard such rich, wonderfully expressive modern music before. Yes, I knew of Neil Diamond, but this record made me see and hear him in a new light.

I bought the album and wore it out after many playings over many years. I've seen the film so many times I've lost count, but one thing still gives me shivers as I watch it is the combination of absolutely superb photography matched to the superlative soundtrack. I cannot understand how, in Britain at least, this film got relegated to art-house status and didn't get the wide release it dererves.

Even today (now I have the CD) I find that in troubled times I can darken my lounge, lie back in my favourite chair, listen to this music and feel my worries subside. It is so relaxing.

wedge sandals review Mercury Flexible Apple iPhone Black

Mercury Flexible Apple iPhone Black

I bought this on ebay because a friend told me about it but I see that it's on Amazon for a little cheaper! Anyway, this is seriously the perfect case! I got it in Mint which is perfect for Spring and it goes SO well with my White iPhone 4s. Keep in mind that this Mint color is NOT as bright as the picture portrays it to be. The picture makes it look "cyan" and almost neon-like. I was about to give it a 4 star because it was a bit misleading but I find the case itself to be a 5 star so I just left it. The Mint shade this comes in is PASTEL which I actually prefer. It's also shiny which makes it look like a patent leather-like material. I've actually purchased a similar case but it was MATTE and got dirty SO easily. This one does not pick up stains which is also a huge plus. I LOVE it's "flexibility" because once it's on, it feels like a hard case, but since it's not 100% hard/plastic it won't crack when you drop it! It's sturdy and it's better than other rubber/silicone cases that are a little too stretchy because those end up getting loose if you keep taking it on and off and end up slipping off (so annoying!) I highly recommend this to everyone! If this came in LAVENDER I would purchase it too!

Hammaka 10302 KP 3002 HMKA Tripod Stand

Cute and adorable clothing patterns for children ages 2-12 years of age and their companions abound in this book. Author Brandy Fortune has put together a collection of nineteen patterns each for child and a 15 inch doll that would be relatively simple to knit and loved by a child. The book has patterns for ballet wraps, pinafores, boys' color work sweaters, jackets, shrugs, skirts, and even bracelets.

The patterns list yarns that are usually found in specialty yarn shops, such as Blue Sky alpaca or Lorna's Laces. The patterns do use yarns in common weights, so it will be possible to substitute if a knitter chooses to do so.

There are a few things in particular I really love about this pattern collection; the photographs, the dolls, and the customization suggestions beginning on page 8. The collection itself has enough variety that if you want to knit for children, you will probably be able to find something for almost every child in this book. The dolls that are wearing the matching pieces are all 15 inch cloth bodied dolls. the dolls are adorable, and remind me of Kathy Kruse Waldorf style dolls. The book states that many of the patterns should also fit on 18 inch dolls, like American girl, without much adjusting needed. This bring s me to the third thing I like about this book - on page 8 Fortune tells how to use actual body measurements from children or dolls to adjust the patterns to a custom fit. Since children (and their dolls) do not have bust and waist shaping, adjusting patterns for them is much easier then for adult women. With the ability to customize, this book just made itself even more worthwhile. Knitters will need not fear a poor fit in their gifts to small loved ones.

Fortune is herself a busy mother to small children. She is the editor/founder of petite purls.com, an online knitting magazine. Fortune designed the patterns to be relatively quick to knit, with interesting stitches and patterning, and also to be comfortable to the children who would wear them.

Patterns I hope to knit from the book include the ballet shrug featured on the cover, the owl sweater for a boy, the felted crown hat, and the jesse bear hat. The hats are simple and whimsical enough that kids would not fight wearing them during cold snaps, and may even want to use them in their pretend play.

If you enjoy knitting for chidden, this is a lovely addition to your home knitting library.

A Return to Form

bike trailer Marantz SR7005 Audio Video Receiver

Marantz SR7005 Audio Video Receiver

I picked up a refurbished unit last month to replace an aging HK that was developing a feedback issue(s) on the analog inputs and then the digital inputs started picking up some white noise maybe from the video board.... Paid 899.

We have a 3D panasonic plasma, polks front, surround and center, klipsch for the wides (the height speaker set up was not liked by all), sony center speakers for the back surrounds and a cherwin vega and polk subs. I ran the microphone set up and enjoyed the new sound for a few days. Loud and clean but it was still lacking....it still had a harsh digital sound that seemed overworked......I blamed the player so clicky-clicky on amazon.

The settings for this reciever are limitless so I picked up a new panasonic blu-ray with 7.1 analog outputs with 32bit DAC chips and a 8 gang analog snake. It brought more separation and clarity to the mids and bass response using the 7.1 input on the marantz.....but oh the drama...

With the amp set on 'auto' it would always revert back to the hdmi input or worse yet, no sound when playing on the old(er) Sony blu-ray. Everyone was mad at me because it was to complicated) lol. The solution was a manual set up. 7.1 soundtracks go in the panasonic player and 5.1, SACD discs or anything with a dts symbol go in the Sony. Easy.

Used the set up program a few times while changing up the speaker placement. It's close. I like a little less mid range so I use the manual EQ for music and movies. This amp is truly amazing with the different speaker configuration. Most of our movies are 5.1 so we use the wide setup on this amp. This feature is my favorite.

We also have an apple tv box but compressed music is not my cup of tea. I can't comment on the correction software or marantz AirPlay upgrade. The apple box is useful to render what resides on your home network or iTunes account.

This was a refurbished unit and the firmware update was a non event.

Another remote.....that has to be pointed at the unit....sorry, no. A new Logitech harmony is on pre-order. Changing between apps on the iDevices is like work so the harmony will make it seamless. Innovating innovation.

The experience; the first audio format I played was a SACD version of dark side of the moon on the Sony. The remaster of the great gig in the sky was amazing. The zeppelin celebration day was ok for a live recording but we haven't tried any blu-ray audio CDs yet. Tom Petty is ordered and looking at David Grohls 'analog mixed' sound city studio tribute. The signal to noise ratio for this reciever let's you hear the music as close to what the artist intended.
Movie soundtracks are really what this reciever special. Anything layer down with 5.1 let's you use the wide setting for a soundstage with presence. When the punks drive up and gun down Ben Affleck in Smoking Aces, the wide setting lets you hear the car drive past then back up as if it was in your own living room. the earth imploding in the avengers will make your house think it is really happening. If there is a helicopter in a scene, the marantz will let you know. The amplifiers in this unit pound out some seriously tight bass.

There are a lot of amps on the market but everyone has their own preference to sound quality. The main reason I looked at this particular unit is that it is manufactured in Japan not a communist country. The second requirement was DNLA compliance. Every setting on the amp can be configured from the network using IE home group. HDMI Is no brainier but it took me a bit to configure everything correctly. For example, the Panasonic needed to modified to 7 channels (analog or digital) vs the 2ch/5.1 downmix which is the standard setting when hooked to a two speaker TV. Also, I found using the bitstream output sounds much better than the pulse code modulation when transferring music data into an emotional experience....

Pros; This is a powerful amp for our listening environment. Tool never sounded so good. It can support a wide range of inputs.

Cons; it takes some tweaking if you want to take full advantage of the diversity this reciever has to offer. HDMI makes stuff 'work' but there is more waiting below the surface...

This story will help children not to be afraid and sad when someone they are missing, whether it be through death or by distance, are still in their heart. Just the way the story is told any child will feel comforted by the fact that they are always connected by the feelings in their heart to another loved one. This book will help if a pet has died or just went to live somewhere else. If a friend had to move away or if a parent just went to work. I bought it because my sister-in-law is very sick and will not be living to much longer. She has a 6 year old daughter and I thought this book would help to know that her mommy still loves her and that she is still with her in her heart.

If only my life could be more like 1983...

tablet review Saturdays Youth Digital Booklet

Saturdays Youth Digital Booklet

This is the most perfect M83 album yet. Compared to Gonzalez's previous ambitious, yet somewhat tiresome When the Dawn Heals Us, Saturdays=Youth is a refinedly concentrated short story of shoegaze/retro bliss. The undeniable melodrama of his fragmented narratives (see "Graveyard Girl") is more digestably sparse in the smaller architecture of the 11-song heartbeat; but the awkward, naive statements effectively serve to enhance the awkward stages of Gonzalez's characters. The vulnerable, diaphanous and hopeful retro sensibility breathes vividly in Gonzalez's soul, and yet his carefully chosen sounds reveal the added shimmer and depth of 21st century techno. His tunes are so thoughtfully derived with historical precision that they work to disarmingly transfigure a pure moment from the 80s (perhaps even more pure...). Moreover, Saturdays=Youth is so obsessed with avoiding even the slightest hint of superfluous ambience and percussion that the effect is slick and masterful.

The artwork says it all: Francis Bacon-ly beautiful, fashion-conscious kiddos brim-full of inexplicable emotions, gathering at the edge of an autumnal wood. The deep colors, pale fires within those fading trees is a testament not to what those kids are feeling, but rather that they are still able to feel at all. It's easy to roll busy eyes and judge a scene like this as the classic Western petri dish of youthful self-obsession--self-fulfilling Goth-mentalities of longing and despair; obstinate druggies replaying irrational fantasies in their growingly incompatible minds; lone dancers, searching aimlessly; unfounded Greco ideals of divine love that serve consumed egos. Even while Gonzalez may be having some fun with certain trendy, filmatic cliches of the past, I think his vision suggests something perhaps more important--it's a photographic warning of the death-nail engaged into the hearts of the eager by a matured society, dulled into oblivion by its perpetually successful ritual of grinding every innate emotion you have into vapor. In these kids' faces gradually appears the fear of creativity's death.

Gonzalez's youths represent the last ceremonies of emotional freedom. They not only inhabit the earth, but apprehend it. They meditate within the private spheres of night, resting on Whitman's bed under the stars of contemplation. They celebrate the loves of their friends, immortalizing their names in harmony. They embrace their dustness like the Beats chasing their Beatrices. They are infused with everything.

But the innumerable stresses will be sent; it will invite itself into the very fabric of their clothing. They'll forget how it all went exactly.

Nordcurrent Ltd 101 in 1 Games

PRO:
-It's tight, durable, and there's no "greasy" feeling like with silicon cases.
-The color has not faded (2+ months so far), and the case is still beautifully glossy.
-The lip around the front face protects the phone/screen great.

CON:
The only thing I would change is the top right corner. The phone is exposed with a rectangular hole in the case for the signal/GPS "antenna". I wish the hole wasn't so freaking big. I'm always scared the phone will drop exactly on that spot and become damaged.

I have a theory. Mercury is also a product of Korea, so I'm guessing that's why the case is so perfectly molded for the S3. I've dropped my phone a couple times already and the thing is still looking brand new. I'm very happy with the purchase, and I've already bought some other colors.

The sad news that a-ha have decided to throw in the towel after the completion of their current tour is offset by the release of one the greatest albums they've ever produced. I have been a fan of theirs since '86 and though they have released some great and not so great albums this one stands out among the pack. Foot Of The Mountain equals what I consider to be their best album ever...Scoundrel Days. Every song is amazing but it does take a bit of time to get into everything. I have listened to few other albums since its release.

The standout tracks for me are Riding The Crest, Foot Of The Mountain, Mother Nature Goes To Heaven and, oddly enough, Start The Simulator. Others reviewing this album may disagree with my last choice. It's a mesmerizing track and the perfect closer for this album. I can't recommend this album enough if you are a fan of their work.

Hard to improve over the 2nd edition, but it has been done

bike trailer Understanding Exposure 3rd Edition Photographs

Understanding Exposure 3rd Edition Photographs

Awhile back, while reading all the positive reviews of earlier versions of this book, I saw that a new version was soon to be released, and I decided to wait for it. The book was received from Amazon yesterday on the release date!

After quickly leafing through and looking at all the great photos, I decided to start reading. A short while into the book, it occurred to me that "this is one of my favorite books"! And I was only on page 16!

I became something of a photo hobbyist many years ago with a film slr and got back into it a few months ago by buying a decent digital slr. A glance at the table of contents shows that the book covers the basics of exposure: aperture, shutter speed, iso, white balance, lighting, filters. So I'm reviewing the basics, but I think Mr. Peterson's insights would also be valuable to more advanced photographers.

I enjoy looking at the photos and trying to guess what the camera settings were. Mr. Peterson chose some gorgeous photos--by themselves they would be more than worth the price of the book--as examples of exposure principles.

I'm now on page 20, reading some great insights on ISO. Understanding Exposure, 3rd edition is a six-star book! If, when I finish reading it, I decide to subtract stars, I'll let you know. But I'd be very surprised! I'm looking forward to the read and to improving my creative skills.

Beneath the Sky ebook

I just finished re-reading Beneath The Sky. As with the first time through, I found myself alternating between tears, huge grins, and moments of held breath, even though this time I'd read it before and knew how it would come out. Dan Thompson creates believable characters, compelling situations, and the kind of complex politics that make such a small world so very very real. His tone is easy to read without being condescending, with enough science to put us in space but not so much that those of us without degrees can't enjoy the story. My only real complaint is that when the last page is past I've become so attached to the characters and so involved in the tale I'm far from ready for it to be over. This is a book I'll re-read many times and can hardly wait for my children to discover on the bookshelf. I look forward with real delight to more of his work becoming available; if it is all as good a read as Beneath The Sky we are in for a real treat. Buy this book! You will not regret it. :)

bike review Extraordinary Popular Delusions Madness ebook

Extraordinary Popular Delusions Madness ebook

The author tracks historical mass-mistakes with such clarity that it is easy to see the parallels with the world of today.

As has been noted in other reviews, the current stock market overinflation and collectibles craze are clearly paralleled by previous events. A parallel which I haven't seen in other reviews here is the current 'alien invasion/x-files' obsession with the long running belief in alchemy. The same figures play roles.. the naive believer and the swindling fraud, most prominently.

Our current astrology revival is only the latest wave of belief in this ancient 'art' and homeopathy has much in common with 'animal magnetism.'

I think that every young person, every person should read it to gain an appreciation of the tools we have to sort out the sense from the nonsense as well as a historical perspective on how much human nature has not changed in its eagerness to believe in the face of reason.

Xenon Headlight Conversion Kensun 8000K

This is the first time I've ever installed HIDs. Easy to install. Huge difference from the stock halogen bulbs. I installed them in into the projector housing so no adjusting needed. The light shines high enough that you see the road clearly, but low enough that you don't blind people, so works great if you have a projector housing. Took me about 2 hours to install, hardest part was finding a place to ground but it was simple enough. Would've been nice if the wiring harness grounded to the stock harness. I do recommend getting a wiring harness that connects directly to the battery. This way you can avoid flickering if the stock harness does not give enough juice. I've had this for the past month and they're still working great. Will definitely buy from this seller again.

Wonderful historical fiction

gps review Beneath a Marble Sky ebook

Beneath a Marble Sky ebook

I was lucky enough to see a review of this book online, and upon reading the glowing review, decided to immediately get a copy. I spent most of the weekend reading it, and just finished it a few minutes ago. I was so moved by the book that I decided to write my first review on Amazon.

Simply put, this is an amazing story. I've never been to India, but this novel took me there, and introduced me to the Taj Mahal, which I am now longing to visit. This is a powerful, beautiful story. And the fact that it's based on true events made turning its pages even more enjoyable for me.

Anyone who is a fan of historical fiction (as I am) should read this novel. The author managed to re-create a rich period in history, and did so in a very subtle way.

After finishing this book, I was reminded of how I felt after completing Memoirs of a Geshia. Both books took me somewhere new, and made me cry more than a little.

It's almost impossible for me to be critical of this book. I loved it that much. My only slight disappointment was that there wasn't a map up front.

However, the book is beautiful inside and out, and I'd highly recommend it.

printed pencil skirt review SKY LANTERNS Pack Assorted Colors

SKY LANTERNS Pack Assorted Colors

I read up on these lanterns and was excited about using them for my daughter's 5th birthday party, a Rapunzel theme. We went out to my parents' house because they live on lots of land. I faked my confidence in this product to assume my mom, dad, husband, and the other skeptical adults that these were fine and not a risk to the nearby farmland, woods, or houses. I was secretly very nervous, but all for nothing. They were perfect, and beautiful! I want to do them for all of our birthdays now. It does take at least 2 adults to light each one. One needs to hold the lighter, and the other the lantern. They take a minute or so (which is longer than you think when you're holding these things) to inflate properly. We had one adult hold each lantern and one other adult go person to person to light them. 2 of us then rotated and helped hold them as they inflated. They are bigger than I expected. If you want them to go up simultaneously, you will need multiple lighters.

I totally recommend trying this if you are interested. It is great, and we will be doing it again!

Steve Roach's "Dreamtime Return" is the first ambient soundscape album I purchased back in 1988. Unfortunately, I was too young to appreciate its brilliance until my mind could fully realize the true diamond of pure ambience I had "stumbled" upon. Initially, I was attracted to the cover, but failed to realize the timeless harmonies I had acquired, as evidence by its sustained price. Roach was never able to duplicate the timeless, totally agreeable and mystic collection of tracks, all recorded in Australia with naturally made instruments, including the ubiquitous didgeridoo, pleasantly cast against a backdrop of cave echoes, water drops and indescribable, reverbial twangs that only Steve Roach could create.

Included in this massive, 140-minute ageless collection are sounds of the Aborigines whom Roach befriended during his time in Australia recording "Dreamtime Return," and their haunting, yet pleasant vocals burst forth on "Red Twilight with the Old Ones," a track that could never be duplicated with such originality, such respect for the oldest civilization on earth. I've found that the year doesn't matter. I drop the attitude, close the door, put on the headphones with REPEAT ON, and drift off to a time and place from which I sometimes never want to leave. Roach has struck gold with "Dreamtime Return," and its perfectly balanced waveforms are nothing short of theraputic. Stress, impatience, frustration, rage--all negative emotions--completely dissolve with even one uninterrupted session of "Dreamtime Return," either Disc 1 or Disc 2 on its own or in tandem. "Dreamtime Return," in my book, can even cure insomnia with its matchless blend of pure musical frequencies, like dessert for the brain. No other ambient album comes close, except perhaps "Quiet Music," which caught the coattails of "Dreamtime Return", having very similar qualities, yet distinctly different patterns.

But we must be clear on one thing: "Dreamtime Return," or any other album that Steve has produced has nothing to do with "New Age," and would probably be offended at such a label. No. Soundscape is the proper term, if the genre must be pegged, because it is exactly that. Mr. Roach takes his sounds and shapes them in unison with the landscape. No other artist of our time understands his own work better. I'm sure that if I would have somehow missed Roach's recordings, either through neglect or indifference, the quality of my life and well-being would have suffered. "Dreamtime Return" is the pure essence of what ambient soundscapes were meant to be, and it will never leave my collection. It's as good today as it is tomorrow. I feel sad for those listeners who fail to realize that.

Pleasant Surprise!!

Febreze Clips Freshener Vanilla Moonlight

I am extremely sensitive to light when I sleep. Before I had this mask, I would lower the shades over the windows in the next room, close my bedroom door, lower the shades over my own windows, cover the windows again with a black out curtain, shut my eyes, AND put on a sleep mask, and I would lie awake thinking "it's as if i am staring INTO the sun."

No more. The Lewis N. Clark Comfort Eye Mask has several features that really help it get the job of blocking light done. Its most important virtue is the cushion of fabric below the eyes to the sides of the nose. Most sleep masks are held up by my nose such that there's a space on either side. The Lewis N Clark mask can block out 100% of the light there, at least as far as I can tell. Occasionally, I will roll over or something and the tiniest bit of light will come in (still much less than would come in under a regular mask) -- so the mask is not God, but I think we all knew that. Second, the mask wraps around pretty far on the sides of the face to make sure light is blocked from those angles. And finally, unlike other masks that eventually become too loose, the adjustable elastic band on this one lets you tighten the mask to keep every part of it pressed to your face. It can get too tight, but that is of course a sign that you should loosen it, and I find you'll still be in darkness. I assume the band on this mask will eventually weaken, but then you just tighten it! And when it finally gives out altogether, I'll just buy another one. It's great and it's cheap.

My only regret is that I have but two thumbs to put up for this mask.

Stark Revelations of a By-Gone Era are Revealed

ring Steal My Sunshine ebook

Steal My Sunshine ebook

It all started over an argument about the Christmas tree on the last day of the school holidays during a stinking hot February afternoon in the midst of a Melbourne heat-wave.

Beginning with Hannah's present day narration, we are introduced to this fifteen-year old girl trying to come to terms with the inner turmoil that threatens to overwhelm her as she tries to find her place in the world and her family. Constantly in Sara's firing -line, Hannah is at a loss to understand why the relationship between her mother and older brother, Sam, is so different to hers; why Sam so blatantly attempts to divert their mother's attentions from her; why she is the only one who seems to care so deeply for her grandmother; and what's up with her mother and father!

Arriving at Essie's house, we are introduced to Hannah's eccentric and agoraphobic grandmother, and unreliable narrator, as she plays a trick on her unsuspecting grand-daughter and grand-son, causing a tirade of epic proportions by Sara when she discovers what has taken place. Afterwards, whilst making a cup of tea for Essie, Hannah comes across a hidden letter and, after guiltily reading it, asks Essie about "James". The conversation concludes with Essie whispering the promise of a secret.

Late for an appointment with her best-friend Chloe, Hannah heads off to meet the only friend she has, one who comes from a broken family, her mother having walked out when she was six-years old, never to return. Living with her father and brothers, one of whom Hannah has a crush on, Chloe is mature beyond her years and believes that Hannah's life is a fairy tale compared to hers. Finding herself relating the events of the day to Chloe, when all she wants to do is tell her about the feelings she has for Evan, and looking forward to Tuesday night movies with her dad, Hannah receives a text message from her brother urging her to get home. Arriving at home with a suitcase hindering her entry and a devastating announcement delivered by her parents, her life is thrown into further turmoil as the door slams on possibly the only ray of sunshine in her life.

As we see Hannah dealing with her inner struggles - the possibility of first love, her social ineptness, Chloe's stand-offish attitude towards her and the family drama playing out since her father's departure - her chain-smoking, gin-tippling grandmother's narration begins at Chloe's first visit with Hannah, and we are taken on a "disgraced" fifteen-year old girl's journey from her wealthy family in fog-filled London, aboard a ship headed for Australia and an aunt who declares that she is unable to "save" her, to a convent where she is put to work in the laundry while she awaits the birth of her baby. As Essie relates her painful past, a shocking familial relationship is finally defined, shedding light on Sara's antipathy towards Essie and perhaps the relationship between Hannah and her mother.

A shameful part of Australia's (and many other countries') shadowy past is exposed as Essie's in-laid narrative goes into vivid detail of the harsh treatment that many young "fallen" and "morally endangered" women, unsupported by their families, had to endure at the hands of the Nuns who ran the "Magdalena Laundries/Asylums" as well as the cruelty behind the victims being denied their fundamental rights to love and care for their children by being forced to go through the process of adoption, sometimes with their consent being obtained through forgery or fraud.

These stark revelations of a by-gone era brought a tear to my eye and resonated strongly with me as it brought to mind my own mother's harrowing encounter when I was born to her in the early 1970's in South Africa. Seventeen and unmarried, a nurse at the government hospital where I was born attempted to convince my mom to allow her (the nurse) to adopt me. My mom in no uncertain terms informed her that adoption was not an option that had ever been contemplated, nor would it be considered, and that she had every intention of taking me home, regardless of her personal circumstances. The difference between my mother and Essie was that my mother has a very close-knit family who supported her during her pregnancy and that support would continue with much love in caring for me - after all, my nursery was already waiting for me at home, the cot, the pram, the layette, the christening gown, an assortment of cuddly toys, having already been purchased.

At one of the feeding times when my mom went to the trolley on which the cribs were brought through, she noted that I was not in my usual crib. Beginning to panic, she approached the nurse and informed her that the baby in my crib was not hers. The nurse merely replied that perhaps I had been placed in the wrong crib, but what she hadn't counted on was the fact that an eternal bond had already been forged between my mother and I at my birth, at the very moment when I was laid over my mom's tummy after delivery, and that while breast-feeding, my mother had memorised every one of my facial features, every hair on my head, all ten fingers and ten toes, and even the very smell of me was already deposited into her memory bank. Informing the nurse that she had already checked all the cribs on the trolley and that I was definitely not there, the realisation must have dawned that my mother wasn't just another "ignorant young girl", but one who was most intent on taking her baby home, because she promptly went into the nursery and brought me back in her arms saying that perhaps one of the nursery staff had been working with me and forgotten to put me in the crib for feeding time!

However, the difference is that Essie did not have the support of a family, one which had abandoned her, and nor was she allowed to bond with her baby after the birth. Even after she is reunited with her baby and runs away, she is ambivalent about this motherhood thing. Her story broke my heart, but behind that story is another - one which will have you questioning how often these things happened, long after the last page is turned.

I really enjoyed this novel and found the split narrative and Emily Gale's frequent use of evocative analogies and metaphors - "I was a kid with a balloon and I'd handed it to the wrong person to hold on to. Now it was floating up to the sky and out of sight" - worked well in conveying Hannah's inner teenage angst in a real and effective manner. When she finds herself in a situation where under-age sex is imminent, for a fifteen-year old, she deals with it in quite a mature manner and makes a sound moral choice and, while Essie's deeper story touches briefly on issues of infidelity, incest - "It was me and Dad. Unholy is why" - and lesbianism, it was the broader themes of "forced adoption" and society's attitude towards women in the 1950's to 1970's resulting in the tragic consequences of a decision which should have been hers to make, which enraged me.

Steal My Sunshine is a lovely YA novel with a good moral message behind Hannah's story. Seen through the eyes of a teenage girl whose greatest desire is to belong and be loved, it is also an aching examination of one woman's shameful deception and painful re-living of a time she would rather forget and another woman's inability to forgive past transgressions and, in light of the recent historic national apology given by Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, to thousands of mothers who were forced to give up their babies by enduring these cruel and sometimes illegal approaches by governments, churches and hospitals, it is a timely novel about the oft-called "White Stolen Generation" - one which will strike a chord with many present day Australians.

This is a novel which I feel crosses over between genres and will appeal to a broad range of readers from 15+ through to adults.
