I have purchased 3 of these cables. All work great and the total cost was still less than one department store cable.

…but I just couldn’t. Honestly, it stressed me out. I wasn’t enchanted or transported, just full of anxiety at the turn of every page. I read a lot of books, and I review very few, but this is a book I really wanted to love and had to force myself to finish. I was hoping for something more along the lines of “Carter Beats the Devil”, but instead I got “The Devil tortures Carter and his girl and Carter ends up alone in a nursing home.” I just couldn’t get behind this story.
Legacy LXR2A 3Way Stereo

Pros:
1 Ease in attaching (took less than a minute).
2 Great stability (tried with acute turns / sudden breaks / long curve ramps) – not a single complaint / issue. Also, tried with only two legs / supports only on the dash board (and the other two `slightly’ above the dashboard) – Excellent.
3 Going to buy second one for the second vehicle.

Cons (If I have to write one):
1 Can have power supply slot for easier connection (Do we really need one?)
2 (Not sure if compatible with other brands than Garmin)

Training Hearts Teaching Minds has been a tremendously helpful resource to introduce the Westminster Shorter Catechism to my four-year-old. The questions and answers have been written in modern English (I felt like the original was a bit tough for my daughter’s age), and there is a short daily devotional for each Q/A set. By short, I’m talking about 5 minutes a day or so. By the end of the week, my daughter usually has both question and answer memorized. This is so much easier, more edifying, more productive, and more fun than spending 5 minutes a day just drilling on the questions and answers. I don’t have any experience using this devotional with older kids, but my sense is that parents of tweens and teens could use the short devotions as a jumping off point for discussion. The author includes related scripture references as well, which also aid in broadening and deepening the discussion. Highly recommended by this mom!

This is a nice scale. The batteries that came with it were dead and I had to replace them with my own, but apart from that it’s a good product.

I agree with one of the other reviews that if you are a Christian this book does go against some of the fundamentals that Christians embrace.
I have the second and third books and in there he says that Hitler went to Heaven because death is not really bad. If you have no solid Christian doctrines than you might believe what the author says. We have no real way of knowing the truths of these books. Don’t always assume it is true, but it can be interesting reading. Please just beware of what you read and absorb from these books. They are not total truths or doctrines.

Although it took a bit longer than expected to receive this, the quality is great. It does exactly what it’s supposed to and the picture/audio quality is fantastic. Definitely a bargain for its low price.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said frostily.

The above is just one example in what I can only describe as a dialogue attribution holocaust. This is not just bad writing, it’s spectacularly inept writing. It is a literary abortion, so foul that it almost HAS to be intentional. If this book had been written as a parody of contemporary literature, it would deserve all of the attention that it has gotten. It would be kind of brilliant.

“Aren’t you hungry?” he asked distracted.
“No.” I didn’t feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full — of butterflies.

This book is a complete course on how NOT to write a book. It is stinking landfill of adverbs. It is an affront to literature, an insult to the craft with a thumb-smear of excrement fuming from every page. Someone named Jodi Reamer spent considerable time helping Stephanie get this book in shape before it was submitted to a publisher. I shudder to imagine what this book might have read like before this much-needed editing.

How does one swallow convulsively? How does someone hiss in a sentence with no ’s’ anywhere in their line of dialogue? How do you slam a door with excessive force? As opposed to slamming the door lightly? How do you intercept unfriendly glances from someone if the glances were already meant for you? There are hundreds, maybe thousands of lines throughout this book like this and even far worse.

This book should never have been published.

Ah, but it is so much worse than all of that, isn’t it? After all, it hit the Bestseller List and STAYED there. It has made MILLIONS of dollars. It’s no longer just a poorly plotted and terribly-written book. Now it’s a representation of the decline of literature. It’s a big neon sign announcing our collective failure as a species. This book outsold Water For Elephants, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns and other books far superior. It’s possible that it outsold all of them COMBINED. This is a book that was not read and enjoyed mere

I purchased this Y cable to connect my laptop to my TV and an older stereo with audio inputs. It works great and does the job!

I have never read a book of Eoin Colfer’s that didn’t impress me; his characters, his wit, and his plots are always excellent. The Artemis Fowl series, however, is Colfer at his best. The story begins with Artemis, a 12 year old Irish millionaire with a genius for crime, ruthlessly pursuing his plot to steal fairy gold. Helping Artemis is his bodyguard, Butler, who is possibly my favorite fictional character of all time. Fighting, cooking, obtaining false papers–you name it, Butler is on top of it. Together, these two kidnap a fairy to hold for ransom. Unfortunately for them, the fairy they capture is Captain Holly Short, of the Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance squad (that’s LEPrecon for short). Holly has a few tricks of her own up her sleeve (or down her boot). Nor are Holly’s friends back at LEP headquarters to be overlooked. Foaly, the wisecracking centaur, commands technology that’s decades ahead of any competition, and Julius Root, the politically incorrect LEP commander, will stop time itself to get his officer back. So are they too much for Artemis? He doesn’t think so. With combatants like this, there’s no predicting what will happen. And the series only gets better from here!
