I picked this up not knowing a thing about it except the blurb, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this story of love and betrayal under the big top one of the most engaging tales I’ve read in a long while. I’m not much into romance, but this is so much more than that so I couldn’t pull myself away. As a bonus I learned about the dark side of the circus industry during that era. Gaslighting, where they throw the circus hands off the train in the middle of the night to avoid having to pay them, was a new term to me. Despite the cut-throat world they live in, the young veterinarian protagonist and the circus star he has a crush on, try to rise above it all at risk of life and limb.
What tops it off is the story has one of the most satisfying endings I’ve encountered in a long time. I’ve passed my book along to my mother and it has since gone through the hands of three of my sisters. They all loved it. I’m a big fan.

This book asks us to take full responsiblity for our lives. FULL responsibilty. This is a good thing.

I moved to a house that had hardwood floors and thought a stick vacuum would work fine, but it only pushed the dog hair. I had this from my previous home and this worked great. It picks up hair, dirt and everything else. I will admit it’s bulky, but if you can get passed that i would definitely suggest picking one up.

The nice thing about this book is that its full of humour and action, but not the standard knights in shining armor on a battlefield kind of action as it is with most fantasy books. While the latter is fun to read as well, it is nice to get a break from those epic type fantasies, and that is exactly what Artemis Fowl delivers, albiet in a more teen friendly way.
An interesting storyline combined with good humor and a very interesting main character makes this a great read for teens.

This light is really simple and easy to use. I use it with my 60mm macro lens. There are several adapters to make the light fit on various sized lenses. The light can be fully on, or you can illuminate just the left or right side (or you can rotate it to do just top or bottom). It takes batteries or comes with an included AC adapter.
The only downsides are that you can’t select how many of the LEDs you want on (it’s be nice to only use 1/2 or 1/3 of them sometimes, but still have even light around the whole ring).
Also, there is no carrying case, you have to just use the box it comes in.

I had a traditional spring based bathroom scale which was hard to read. This scale solved the problem with large digital display. Very reliable measurement. Get on an off a half dozen times and you get the same reading.

What is so good about this book is not that it gives you anything new but that it tells you what you already know. The problem is that we have grown accustom to either ignoring or not acknowledging the obvious signs of GOD speaking to us. Whether you believe that what happened to Walsch is real or not, the book serves as good wake up call for all of us to listen to our inner voices and acknowledge that voice as a blessing!

This is much better than the windshield attachment. Doesn’t block view or leave tell-tale marks that a Garmin is in my locked car.

I enjoyed this first book in a Harry Potter-sortof way. It’s good, fun escapism. What I like is how the tempo of the book changes from criminal drama to comedy to fantasy to spy novel, etc, etc… Initially, you aren’t really sure what is going on, but eventually the young anti-hero idea catches on and becomes a very entertaining narrative. Nathaniel Parker provides a fantastic narration, reminiscent of Jim Dale’s excellent characterization for the Potter audio books.
Having finished the first couple books, I’m led to think of the first two books almost as a continuous story, with many of the same characters recurring.
Worth checking out.

I’ve used this product for about six years. The first watch that I used lasted about two years with no problems. The three subsequent monitors have given me a myriad of problems, from no HRM, to failure to charge, to crashing my computer, to failure of information to download. I ordered a unit about six months ago and used it for two weeks before it failed to charge. I sent it back and immediately got another which did the same thing. I don’t know if they’re dumping the defective monitors on the market or what, but getting two in a row with the same problem may not be coincidental. I highly recommend buying your monitor from Costco or some other local store that will give a full refund for defective gear. Using mail order involves shipping and at least a two week wait for a refund. I have basically been without a monitor for a month because of what seems to be a big drop off in workmanship. For someone who’s seriously training, this can be a very long time.
