Whenever we wonder what's going on here regarding a new ache or pain or why we can't recall our best friend's name, it's comforting to know we are not alone! As long as we can see some humor in this aging process, we'll get through it. Thanks to Marv for his courage in discussing his own issues, and helping us smile if not laugh at it all! We're all in the same boat, even it it's beginning to leak. | 5 | comforting to know we are not alone | 1,291,939,200 | 12 10, 2010 |

] | I was totally feeling and following the general vibe of Johnson's book and what he's saying about teen boys, although it might be a little conservative and naive about sexuality. The tips on communication were very helpful. BUT, when discussing how to engender responsibility in teen boys, Johnson states "one of the reasons for our economic crash is that we made it a 'right' instead of a privilege that everyone, regardless of whether they could afford it or had worked responsibly to earn it or not, be given the opportunity to own a house. That kind of philosophy is not what the economic underpinnings of our free market economy (the one that has been the most successful for the most amount of people throughout the history of the world) was built upon." (page 247). Well, Mr. Johnson, I haven't lost my house, but I know plenty of good hard-working folks that have! And plenty of good men that are quite depressed about it! I for one am I am pissed about this political propaganda when you are supposed to be a family counselor! I thought you were a family helper, focused especially on the elevation of masculinity and pride of our men and boys, not a shamer of already shamed men! | 3 | Please keep your political views to yourself! | 1,345,075,200 | 08 16, 2012 |

I'm using natural gas and use a conversion kit to connect to the natural gas line.I mostly cook chicken (boneless, skinless) < 2 inch pieces in a skewer. The first time i tried to cook chicken, it took forever; I also cooked other veggies which turned out perfect. I thought it was some newbie mistake that is causing it to take so long. I've cooked 4-5 times ever since and the chicken cubes take atleast 45 minutes to cook (the temp reading in the front says its hot) and become really dry by the time they are done.I thought maybe the infrared plate pores are clogged and meticulously cleaned it and the next time i tried, it still took too long to cook.Also, the heat is uneven.

] | Decent phone and love most of the features. I switched from Iphone 3Gs about a week ago and below are my observations.The Good: The phone is fast, responsive and plenty of apps out there in the android marketplace (and soon the amazon market for AT&T;, i guess).The Bad: The phone interface sucks and doesn't come close to what I was used to with the Iphone. I hope the newer revisions of android comes with a better interface.For listening to music, I was so used to the itunes playlist feature and the phone doesn't provide something comparable out of the box, but the Songbird app seems to fill in the void (I'm sure there are other apps out there that provides the same feature/functionality).The battery life is a joke. I'm not watching videos or doing anything extensive that would drain the battery; my typical day involves using the phone for about 5-10 minutes and using the internet for about 15-30 minutes and still the battery drains before the end of the day. I tried using an app to kill the running apps, turning off bluetooth and wifi, but the issue is still around. This was never a problem with the Iphone.The signal strength seems to be the next problem. When I'm at home, I'm not receiving the calls sometimes. There is no indication on the phone to say there is no signal, but my friends get the voicemail directly without any rings.The call quality is good when i make the calls and I'm not sure why the phone does not ring sometimes when my friends call me.The last two issues are a deal breaker for me and most likely i'm returning the phone this weekend. | 3 | Battery life sucks | 1,301,616,000 | 04 1, 2011 |

This one was supposed to be better and that was one of the main reasons why i chose this over TB. While its better than TB, I'm not impressed with the battery life on this, but i guess with 4G, there are no other phones that has a decent battery life. I'm told 4G is what consumes the battery so much.4G: This is why switched from AT&T; to VZ. So far the service has been spotty. 4G would be on and after i start browsing, it would switch to 3G within minutes and would never get back to 4G unless i do a reboot. Apparently, this is a known issue and they (VZ and Samsung) are working on a solution. Very disappointing.Looking at other reviews, i'm wondering if this is a location issue. However, my friend sitting next to me has solid 4G all day on his TBolt and the area i'm trying to use the phone is supposed to have good 4G coverage. | 1 | 4G service sucks | 1,310,083,200 | 07 8, 2011 |

We have been doing this for over 2 years now and although weight loss was slow it was steady but had been holding for both of us for the last few months. We thought this would help us over the impasse we had reached.WRONG!We did not change our diets or habits in any way and we normally lose from 1 to 2 pounds per week but by taking the recommended 3 capsules 30min to 1 hr before meals I managed to gain 9.5lbs in the 1st 10days. The wife pickup up 11 and she has been livid about it. The 2nd 10 days we simply took 1 tablet every 2 hrs throughout the day and ending with dinner. This comes out to at least 6 capsules a day and should have helped lose something.WRONG AGAIN!Within 1 week we both had gained another 4 lbs.We stopped taking the capsules and simply continued to eat normally and within the first week I lost 5 lbs and she lost 3 lbs. Its been almost a month now and we are back to our weights before starting this and hopefully will continue to lose weight.The only thing these seemed to do was cork us both up. Going to the bathroom was delayed the first 3 days and after that it was regular again. However the outgoing action was not up to what it should have been.

They are crystal clear, fit the screen perfectly, and most importantly don't have any "orange peel" effect like other cheap screen protectors. They also have a very hard surface that nearly feels like the glass they're covering. Your finger won't stick to them and skip across the screen. They're well-packaged and the adhesive used works very well to keep them on the screen. One thing I really like, and something you'll find in almost every great screen protector, is that they're cut just slightly smaller than the screen. This not only makes the screen protector easier to put on (and get straight) but also keeps any cases you apply to the phone from lifting the edges of the screen protector (which can cause dust to get under it and cause problems).I can't recommend these screen protectors enough if you're looking for a great, low-cost alternative to the "high-end" screen protectors! | 4 | As good as the "high-end" screen protectors at half the price! | 1,385,510,400 | 11 27, 2013 |

I was turn off by the characters that went both ways because that is not the kinda of guys I would be interested in. V or Quinton would of usually have been very attractive to me but I was turned off because they were bi. I was even okay with V feeling something for Butch but Ward took it to far. I know guys like Butch and I don't think he would be okay with a guy wanting him. It would totally affect the relationship. I guess I would rather read about relationships that I would want to be in.I like how Ward developed the characters through out the series and continued to develop them after they were mated. It was more realistic when things were not perfect later on. John was there almost from the beginning and his character was a slow development that by the time you read about him I felt like I really knew him. I wish he would of figured out that he was originally Darius.I read the whole series but I lost interest in it once the main characters were looking at the same sex with lust on there mind. I read through the rest of series to just see how things ended. If I knew that there was going to be so much emphasis on guy/guy relationships I would not of even bothered to read the series at all.If you are turned off by reading about same sex relationships I would not read this.

We probably started using it to pull our child at about 2.5 or 3 months of age. We put a towel behind the bottom to recline it a little more and tried to prop him up a little from below, but all in all, it worked for us. He rode quite comfortably with minimal complaining. We're just really glad that this item exists in the first place so that we could get our baby behind a bicycle before a year of age!!! So just for that, it gets four stars from me. It may have seemed pricey at the time, but since we've had such a good time with it, I've forgotten the price by now. | 4 | Not perfect, but gets you going sooner | 1,272,585,600 | 04 30, 2010 |

A small deviation from the center results in a seemingly large deviation in where the drawer goes. I had to redo it a couple times and it still doesn't seem perfect, but good enough that nobody would notice and it works well.

We both thought it was fun at first, but my son kept shifting and it made it hard to walk with my balance being thrown off frequently. We walked for about a half a mile and then he requested to get down and asked to get on my shoulders instead.

] | I think that I was expecting to get more for less with this bed, which is similar to many others which you can find for much higher prices. This bed is fine, construction seems sturdy and my son does like it, though the wood seems really lightweight and it seemed to damage easily when lightly struck. I'm not really that fond of the tent, though that really wasn't a selling point for us getting it in the first place.I put it together by myself with the help of my two little boys, so they added a little time, but working at a good rate, it took me close to three hours. Figure the boys added up to a half hour! The instructions were without any written instructions and took some time for me to figure out initially, but I'd say they were ultimately quite well crafted instructions.I have gotten into bed with my son for a total weight of about 200 pounds, though it's rated to only 160, and it seemed fine. The one thing I really wish was different is that the slide would originate from roughly even with the top of the mattress and not from the frame, as to get onto the slide the kids (I got it for my 4 year old, but obviously, his 18 month old brother is not going to be left out of this fun!) have to negotiate about a 12 inch step off from the top of the mattress to the top of the slide.All in all, I can't say we are unhappy, but just not as happy as we thought we'd be, particularly reading other reviews! | 3 | Adequate | 1,381,968,000 | 10 17, 2013 |

] | Most of us know how World War II began, and have a pretty good idea of how the Revolutionary, Civil, and Vietnam wars began. But I suspect other than the almost misleading phrase "the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand," few of us know how World War I began. Yet more than a month lapsed between the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, and the beginning of hostilities. That's more than a month during which cooler heads could have stopped the war from happening, and could have stopped the deaths of millions of people, the devastating injuries of millions more, and the waste of much of the combined cultures of Europe. As it turned out, it didn't even help that Kaiser Wilhelm II and Czar Nicholas II were cousins, and were actually related to many other leaders on the continent.I read this book in Kindle format, and if I could recommend anything, it would be to read this book in paper format. This is one of those rare books where you want to flip back and forth between pages and sections to remember the "characters," as some of the names of government leaders in France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Serbia and Russia almost require a "scorecard" to remember who's who. But this is a very well researched book, and one that furthered my own understanding about the beginning of the Great War, and how it could have (and should have) been avoided. | 5 | Very informative book. | 1,388,275,200 | 12 29, 2013 |

A friend of mine from high school, Bob O'Connor, wrote "Unholy Ground," so I had to read it. I was happy that I did. It was one of those "what could happen next" books that was tough to put down. The action starts on Page 1, and continues on every page right through the end. As someone who knows the area where the story takes place (Rhode Island and vicinity), I was able to picture the bad goings-on in the otherwise peaceful seminary where things go topsy-turvy. | 5 | A fun read | 1,388,275,200 | 12 29, 2013 |

Works perfectly with my Retina 15" MBP at max resolution - if you use the right cable (MDP/TB -> DP), the idea that it doesn't is bunk. I use this as my main monitor, and six months in I'm still pleased as punch. No dead pixels, no nonsense - extremely stable platform, too - almost never wobbles. When compared to more expensive monitors the Viewsonic really shines - I've seen the new $1200 Samsung 27" and, while brighter, I just don't see it as being $500 better.

The accent pillows really finish the look and if you had to purchase the pillows individually it would probalby be a $40. value. I replace my bedding about every 3 years and wash 3-4 times a year so hoping this set holds up and maintains the shimmer that the fabric reflects in the light.

When I opened it, Streets of San Francisco had been squashed and all the disc cases and holding clips cracked and broken. The discs were lightly scratched but still played, however the packaging was now useless.Amazon is too cheap on protecting relatively fragile products, and their choices of shipping partners is quite lousy. This isn't the first product I've had to return because of shoddy packaging and/or handling by their third or fourth party shippers, i.e. ONTRAC.

] | I bought this as a complement to my Umarex H&K; P70, which cost roughly the same amount. At under 20 feet from a rest, the P70 will put every round through a space the size of a quarter. The UTG full metal 1911 will barely keep five rounds inside a dinner plate at the same distance and from the same rest using the same airsoft ammo. In fact, I tried two different weights and it didn't get much better with either.The magazine loading system is terrible. Follow the directions exactly and what you will end up with is 6mm bbs all over the place because they fly out when you release the magazine follower.Pros? The trigger isn't bad, which really compounds the accuracy problem the gun has. It's nicely built and it feels like a real 1911 in your hand. The slide, mag release, safety and hammer all function basically like the real thing, which is cool. The price is decent.Cons? It's wildly inaccurate. I don't expect a ton from a $25 gun, but I need to know I can't miss a 6 inch target at 20 feet from a rest! The magazines are sort of okay (also full metal), but the loading system shoots the bbs everywhere unless you load them one at a time contrary to the directions. Not fun.If you want a pretty, well-built 1911 replica to play with, this gun is okay. If you want an airsoft pistol to practice the fundamentals of shooting when you can't go to the range, this is not the gun for you.NOTE: After some research, it seems that I might have gotten a bad example, since very few people complain about accuracy with this gun. | 2 | Heavy Metal Mess | 1,378,339,200 | 09 5, 2013 |

Magazine loading best I've ever seen on an airsoft gun, and will lock the slide back on empty, just like the real thing. Good sights. Accurate! 5-round groups at 15 ft average less than 1 inch or better, and that's firing from a combat stance. From a rest it's probably better. Reliable so far...no problems after about 100 rounds or so.Cons: Trigger's a bit stiff, but it's less than $30, so you just have to eat that. Pretty much all plastic and so too light, but for this price you can't ask for much. The slide moves but the hammer doesn't, which is a little odd and takes away from the realism. Safety is terrible. Uses .12g pellets instead of .20g, which for my taste are more satisfying when they hit things!Conclusion: If you want a cheap, fun, and ACCURATE airsoft pistol to plink with or even seriously practice shooting fundamentals without going to the range, buy this gun. | 4 | Can't beat it for the money | 1,378,339,200 | 09 5, 2013 |

It fits nicely in the lunch box, does not leak, holds just enough juice, looks fashionable and not something that the kid would be embarassed to have. I am very pleased and hope to buy more. Now..if I can only get my child to remember to give it back to be and not toss after lunch... | 5 | GREAT item. Highly Recommend this lunch box bottle | 1,180,483,200 | 05 30, 2007 |

] | Okay, so I just got into this series and I flew through book one because it was just that good. Book 2 was good but Book 3 really righted the ship. After ending book three with an awesome epilouge, I could not wait for Book four...and I couldn't have been more disappointed. Nothing happened. Not only did nothing major happen, but some characters we were all wondering about weren't even addressed with their own chapters. I have to hope for more from the upcomming "A Dance with Dragons". Please right the ship George.You'll buy this book because you loved the others but it won't be as fondly remembered as the others. | 3 | Don't go George Lucas on us Mr. Martin | 1,202,774,400 | 02 12, 2008 |

] | and I found something that left me speechless. Let me start from the beginning. I needed something to read. I'd finished all the Weiss and Hickman Dragonlance chronicles a few years back, and just recently finished George R.R. Martin's A Dance with Dragons (ADWD). Considering it will probably take Martin 5-10 years to complete The Winds of Winter, I decided to look for something to tide me over. I picked this up after scrounging through the bestseller in the Epic Fantasy genre, and after reading a few chapters here and there, I got hooked. I literally spent the last 3 days obsessed with the book. It gets to a point where you can't put it down. I'd gotten used to Martin's method of divvying up character chapters so that the following chapter usually doesn't concern the character from the previous chapter. Conversely, In Eye of the World, Jordan tends to stick with a character for several chapters before switching the focus elsewhere. This made the book both incredibly addictive and impossible to put down once it gets going.Jordan's world of fantasy is similar and yet different from the typical fantasy world. Granted I've only finished book one so all this is subject to change, but the typical fantasy races (e.g. ogres, elves, goblins, etc) and the typical creatures (e.g. dragons) are not present. Some races have similar features...but are different enough in both name and nature. Jordan's decision to do this made the early chapters a little...I guess uncomfortable for lack of a better word. I guess I wanted a fantasy world to feel like an old shoe to the extent that all the familiar races and creatures would be present. I only felt this way initially, however, as the further I went into the book the more I admired the world Jordan created. The mythos of the world took a good 1/4 of the book to get comfortable with, but once I did I felt right at home.The story (I'll only discuss the few chapters but skip this paragraph is you want no spoilers) centers around a group of young adults that must suddenly leave their small and isolated village for their own safety and the safety of their village. For reasons unbeknownst to them, these young people are being sought after by the Dark One (who I guess is evil incarnate). The story of book one focuses on their journey from their small village and their experiences in the outside world. Without saying more, the characters all have their own sense of charm and charisma. I found myself laughing out loud at their jokes, being frustrated with their naivety, and fearing for their safety whenever they were in danger.There are over ten books in this series, and if what some of the other customer reviews said are true, the series starts to tail off after book 5. Nonetheless, if the next four books are as good as this one, I'll consider myself fortunate to have discovered this series.The Eye of the World is a gem in this genre. Jordan's world, characters, and suspense all make this one of the best fantasy books I've ever read...and I've got over ten more to go (joy!). I remember the moment I realized I only had 200 pages to go in this book and immediately going on Amazon to order the next book. It's that good and I think the story is one that both adults and young adults can enjoy. Should you decide to read it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. | 5 | Was only looking for something to hold me over... | 1,315,094,400 | 09 4, 2011 |

] | The Remaining took me by surprise. Amazon kept recommending it based on my reading history but something about it didn't quite click with me. I don't know, maybe I thought a book with a soldier on the cover couldn't be suspenseful or scary. Boy, was I wrong.The Remaining tells the story of Captain Lee Harden, a soldier in the U.S. Army who's joined a very top secret program known as "Project Hometown." It's a cushy type of assignment that involves a hell of a lot of training (Rangers, Special Forces, the works) but in the end the Govt builds you a home and a bunker underneath said home that you're required to live in during certain times of crisis. There are 48 members of Project Hometown (one for each of the contiguous 48 states) and all are required to rebuild their respective state in the event of a crisis that renders the U.S. Government obsolete. Well...crisis comes a knocking, and Captain Lee Harden is forced to leave his bunker and enter a world that is very different from when he first went into his bunker.The Remaining is a story of rebuilding. In Captain Harden's quest to rebuild his assigned state of North Carolina he encounters all sorts of persons, villains and of course, the infected. I really love the author's take on zombies. They are not undead, but rather they are living humans who are victims of a bacteria that erodes its victim's frontal lobe. Without the frontal lobe, a person is left with only the most basic of survival instincts: chief amongst those being the need to feed. The "zombies" in this story are, therefore, human, but their infected state causes them to behave almost identically to their undead counterparts. Without giving much away, I'll just say it was refreshing to see an approach to zombie fiction that attempted to put a new spin on zombie mythos.Now, you may be thinking that a story centered around a highly trained military soldier couldn't possibly be scary because he'll be more than a match for any enemy/zombie that should cross his path. This couldn't be further from the truth. While Captain Harden's training does make him more capable than most, the series still finds a way to be highly suspenseful and places Captain Harden in some very vulnerable situations. At the risk of spoiling something, I'l end this review by reiterating my title: If you enjoy Zombie fiction, if you enjoy end of the world type stuff, and especially if you watch the Walking Dead, you need to read those books. Trust me, they're well worth your time. | 5 | A must read for any fan of Zombie apocalypse fiction | 1,363,651,200 | 03 19, 2013 |

] | and this was certainly a weak foundation. No spoilers but I'm sure you already know what the premise of "Civil War" is, but in case you don't I'll say it's basically good guys vs. good guys. The subject of the quarrel is a Govt registration act for all superheroes. That right there had me wondering why some would resort to violence over this rather than simply hang up their cowl/tights. I mean, to fight people you've served with for over 20 years (in some cases) simply because they support a government mandate was kinda frivolous. The story eventually branches into other reasons why the opposing sides are so entrenched in their positions, but in the end it was something very simple and utterly foreseeable that led to one side calling it quits.I dunno. The whole thing felt like writers grasping at straws to make a story work. This is especially true whenever the writers attempted to involve supervillians.Some rather funny moments with Punisher aside, the whole thing was rather mediocre. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I still think Infinity Gauntlet is the best Marvel crossover series yet. Worth a read but I'd temper any expectations of greatness. | 3 | Intriguing but a weak foundation doesn't make for a good story | 1,282,003,200 | 08 17, 2010 |
