I got myself this laptop computer on this page, on Amazon online marketplace, and every little thing regarding the buy method was excellent. It really came each day sooner than approximated, so no problems there. I could hook it up to online straight away. I love the complete physical appearance, it's a really good hunting notebook. The key-board seems excellent along with the touch screen is quite reactive. The pc is quickly sufficient for the purpose I really do, which isn't very much however. I check out my e-mails, read through some classifieds, a bit of Facebook or myspace and in some cases view a Tv series or possibly a video. Furthermore, i use Skype to connect with my loved ones. That can bring me towards the purpose I only offered it 3 celebrities: the web falls away from at times and i also know it's your computer, not the specific online. It's enough to interrupt my calls, though it doesn't last long, only for a minute or so. It's actually extremely irritating specifically given that you have to pay practically $200 greater than you will pay money for another company.
15.6″ Toshiba Satellite C55-A5245 Laptop Review
This Toshiba Satellite C55-A5245 15.6 inches notebook computer is really a offer in the cost. Was included with 4GB Memory. Opened up the include to think about the memory safe-keeping slot machine games. You will find 2 slot machines and just the initial one is used in combination with just one 4 Gigabyte Storage device. This notebook can broaden approximately 16 Gigabyte Memory.. Emerged full of Norton–I removed it instantly and jam-packed House windows Crucial Protection which can be great in fact it is totally free. The silk dark in trax horizon complete about this notebook computer is wonderful and considerably much like the Dell Flat accomplish i have observed. So, far, I am very pleased with this laptop.
Samsung UN60EH6003 1080p HDTV Review
Very own the 35″ type of this Television which includes identical positives and disadvantages frequently explained – exceptional snapshot, only 2 HDMI sockets, fundamental noise, and also the frequently-reported-about no music out jack. Gladly to me I would like to watch television and Blu-Sun rays, so seem was better for videos by getting a Yamaha YAS noise nightclub and affixing to some "wise" Samsung Blu-Ray person, e.g. when taking part in films the audio passes through the noise nightclub (ensure the Television noise is rejected to absolutely no or it comes with an echo outcome.) Best answer in my opinion – in any event the television noise is properly okay if you watch "typical Television set" – just desired wealthy seem if you watch motion pictures. Whatever the case, for videos IMO using a photo with this good quality and set up-up simplicity, I'd acquire this Television set once again – re motion pictures even bigger is without a doubt far better. Do invest some time within the Snapshot – film method adjusting configurations (Video method darkens display screen for looking at within a darker area so a lot less glare/vision stress, approximately Illumination, Shade establish to close to 50, Comparison 70-80, Powerful Distinction established to Moderate but this depends upon style, and private tastes).
Seiki SE46FY10 1080p HDTV Review
I'll begin with the photo with this Television; with alterations in your unique wants, it's excellent. day, night and light and so on, it had taken me regarding a time to obtain the correct configurations since I required to look at it in various light. If you focus on it, items or people in focus are crystal clear, while the background can seem a little grainy.
For that integrated speaker systems, they're very good. Because I reside in a townhouse, again dealing with loudspeakers are a bad idea, given that my neighborhood friends can listen to in addition to I could. If you mount a TV on opposing walls) I use a sound bar that projects the sound into our living room and my neighbors hear NOTHING, (This applies to bedroom walls too. Having said that, this Television just has an individual mp3 coaxial result there usually are not a lot of audio techniques where by that's appropriate. The answer,considering that we have now High-definition cord, ended up being to cable the seem in the cable television package straight to the audio pub (extremely quite simple after I was thinking that out).
Panasonic TC-L60DT60 1080p HDTV Review
We made a few changes to meet our preferences in the picture and sound, even though the picture on this TV was good out of the box with default settings. Our company is thrilled using the sharp crystal clear photo. We tried out Samsung and believed their snapshot was far too brilliant. This particular one it really is nice you receive a great deal depth. Most 3D tends to make me somewhat dizzy, so we do not use it, even though we tried the 3D and it worked fine. If there was any motion blur and we have not seen any, it is unbelievably clear and now that football season is here, we were able to really see! Simply a great photo. We had been extremely pleased with all the Amazon online bright white glove treatment method the location where the shipping and delivery individual introduced it in, set it up up and ensured it absolutely was doing work just before he remaining. This TV is much much faster in downloads, so we do not use the ROKU any more, though we use Netflix a lot and used to use a ROKU box. We attempted a Samsung Intelligent Television set and had been unhappy whatsoever together with the mobile app efficiency.
Samsung UN60FH6003 1080p HDTV Review
Purchased from Costco two times earlier. We had been prepared to send it back the very first day. The image was unclear therefore we had been acquiring action unwell – even from 14 toes rear through the established. We spoke with Samsung (Costco customer satisfaction repetition could not support And professed Samsung was shut down – which it was actually not). Samsung mentioned this really is a High definition tv and we should improve our cord container to High definition. We managed that nowadays so we Are Certainly Not Using This Back again! Incredible, such a big difference! Prior to the cable tv man got I surely could visit the guide configurations (in menus/method/snapshot alternatives/car movements in addition/personalized) and alter the blur and judder options. I needed a fair photo nevertheless it had not been sufficiently good to rationalize $900 right after warranty and tax. You need High-definition just for this Television set.
Only two HDMI plug-ins may be a issue. 1 dock for my cable television pack And one particular for my recipient. I actually have plugged the television into my HDMI 1080 Sony recipient but anything remains completely wrong there.
Dell Inspiron 17 i17RV-5455BLK PC Laptop Review
Would like to share what I know about this unit, though i purchased mine from Costco, not from Amazon. This notebook, at its settings, is an excellent value.
The most important good stuff about this are:
(1) it operates fairly effectively, and fails to make excessive temperature. The base of the system is just warm right after round the clock of usage (1 purpose simply being the tough travel is working at just 5400 RPM, not at 7200);
(2) they have hard wired, wi-fi, along with a glowing blue-teeth links, plus an SD storage device visitor (beneficial to trasnferring photos from video cameras);
(3) improve of storage is quite simple, as each recollection slot machines can be reachable at the end (next to each other using the notebook computer harddrive).
The not so good factor is:
You can not mount Microsoft windows 7 alongside with Microsoft windows 8, and even above it, even though you reduce how big the C: travel to generate a new partition. Before the C, the hard drive has two hidden partitions: generate (So C: travel is in fact the third partition).
Sony VAIO Fit Series SVF1421ACXB PC Laptop Review
I've been rather content with the Sony VAIO for my simple personal computer demands as i don't desire to be trapped at the workplace top rated. The original setup was only as basic as every other pc I've actually accomplished. Battery daily life provides for roughly 4 several hours useful from my encounter. The monitor image resolution is perfect for the standard web e mail and surfing around, as well as the basic handling kind job I actually do into it.
The notebook computer is really a wonderful dimension instead of cumbersome. It really is relatively slim with curved ends and satisfies effortlessly into bags, carryon and backpacks baggage. Additionally it is rather light-weight and very portable all around. It's clearly lighter in weight than my Dell Latitude.
You can find just a few issues i don't like regarding this. The first is the feel cushion. It seems like affordable. It simply seems like it's not high quality whilst I'm making use of it. The key issue I have got however doesn't exclusively pertain to your computer.
TCL LE55FHDE5510CTA 1080p HDTV Review
Following exploring the present collection of finances company Televisions, I went with some thing from TCL. I've applied their personal computer tracks in past times and possess have confidence in to the brand name. I deemed another imprecise Oriental manufacturers for example Seiki, Coby, and many others. Have been disappointed with build quality and style, even though even considered Insignia.
With unboxing, I found myself surprised by the window stay and also the all round looks in the Television. Definitely not cheap, although it's conservative looking. Doesn't obtain that curly, sparkly dark plastic-type bezel that a lot of price range Televisions normally have.
Not a whole lot need to be made in my opinion, though picture quality is great, not a whole lot of adjustments. If you have one of those Roku sticks, or some small device that just relies on an HDMI port to power it, this TV has it, it does have an MHL port, so. Few Televisions obtain that however, far less at the selling price stage.
Samsung UN32F5000 1080p HDTV Review
This assessment is designed for the 22″ edition.
This tv set is walls fitted within our kitchen area, that is perfectly illuminated And in the middle of home windows, however the display screen is colorful and bright. We have the two a AppleTv and PS3 connected on it, as well as the image competition that relating to our considerably more costly 3yr older 40″ Sony Bravia (that has been $1100), the shades don't have really the range in the Sony, however the clearness on this Television set is preferable and shifting pictures convey more break up through the backdrop appearance.
Television set weighs about almost no and may definitely be organised by most any position. Distant is nice features a backlight.
One particular issue I really do have is there is absolutely no reference to this model becoming a lo-voltage (12v DC) product. That means it needs an provided transformer to stage on the 120v Air conditioning potential. This isn't a true issue except if you are wall surface installing the television and all of a sudden understand that now you have to cope with camouflaging a 1.5″x1″x3.5″ transformer.

The Bangles are a hugely popular and successful all-female rock group from Los Angeles, California. The band first formed in 1981. The original line-up was: Susanna Hoffs(vocals/guitar), Victoria Peterson (vocals/guitar), Vicki's sister Debbi Peterson (drums/vocals) and Annette Zilinskas (bass/vocals).
The group hailed from the 80's L.A. Paisley Underground music scene and released their self-titled debut EP in 1982. Zilinskas subsequently left the band and was replaced by singer/bassist Michael Steele of The Runaways. The group's first full-length album "All Over the Place" was released in 1984.
The 1986 follow-up album "Different Light" beget two smash songs: the plaintive lament "Manic Monday" peaked at #2 on the US Billboard pop charts and the dynamic "Walk Like an Egyptian" soared all the way to #1 not only in America, but also in Britain, Australia, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands as well. The band scored a #2 US Billboard chart hit in 1987 with a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel song "Hazy Shade of Winter".
In 1989, The Bangles had another massive smash with the lovely ballad "Eternal Flame", which peaked at the #1 spot in the United States, England, Norway, Sweden, Australia and the Netherlands. Alas, tensions amongst the band members steadily mounted and the group broke up in 1989.
In 1999, The Bangles got back together to record the song "Get the Girl" for the soundtrack of the hit comedy Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). The group then released "Doll Revolution" in 2003. August 2007 saw the release of their first official live DVD, Return to Bangleonia - Live in Concert.
In the spring of 2009, the band returned to the studio to begin work on a new album.The Bangles have since released thenew album, "Sweetheart of the Sun" on Sept. 27, 2011 and are currently on a promo tour in support of it including recent performances on Good Morning America and Dancing With The Stars.

Durable and stylish, but velcro straps are ineffective. Not enough velcro on them to tighten and if they are loosened, the vest does not really expand. I reccomend buying with the intention of wearing over your jacket for best fit.
michaelmhd Posted:
The vest was as advertised. It is very well crafted and looks very nice. I am pleased with my purchase.
ken.turbo Posted:
Swat it is
jpotasnak Posted:
Very nice especially for the price! just wish the side straps were leather.
wagsy Posted:
This is a solid vest. Leather is good quality and pliable. Fit is good. My only complaint is the velcro straps on the side are a little too long and when I cinch them up, I run out of room to stick them together. Take home message...Great jacket!!!
wagsy Posted:
This is a great vest. It looks and feels awesome. great craftmanship and materials. I would compare this to the icon regulator but 1/3 the price. I am about a 45" chest and the XL fits good with a hoodie or jacket underneath. The straps on the side are too long and when the vest is tightened, there isn't anywhere to stick the velcro. A small fix with the tailor will fix this though. I would buy this again and definitely recommend, if you like the icon regulator, get this, you won't be disappointed.

I purchased this vest for my husband, as one of his Christmas gifts. He was very happy and surprised when he opened this package. He tried it on right away and liked the fit and style of the vest. I was pleased as well, and we both admire the quality of the product, at the right price. He plans to wear it over one of his leather jackets when he rides. The cool thing is the leather of his jacket and the vest match, and gives the jacket a great new look. Thank you J&P Cycles for a quality product. Sincerely, Jerilynn Davis

This is a simple three dimensional paper elephant that will hold a piece of candy standing up on a table or flattened slightly on a card.
You can use cardstock or a heavier paper to make
the body (just trace the template) but, in my opinion, regular
paper or construction paper works best for the head and tummy.
I find cardstock can be too inflexible for three dimensional
crafts. If you do make the body from cardstock, a glue gun
would be a sturdier choice than school glue for making the cone
If you'd like to turn this into a slightly 3D card instead of a standing craft, follow these directions:

quote:I'm staying far away from WVU. The line seems too good to be true. Plus WVU has shown they can lose games they should win. The over could be a play though.
quote:Texas Tech has a 6th year QB in Doege. They will be able to score points against WVU's shittastic defense. One average game by Smith is all that it will take for WVU to falter. This is probably it.
quote:Anybody else liking Kent St -1.5 @ Army?
quote:I hate going against home dogs, but I see A&M absolutely destroying La Tech. Tech is getting so much hype right now, but A&M is really the first and only test they have this year
quote:The only reason I hesitated was because of the big win this past weekend. Could be a hangover going into Lubbock, but I still bit on the bet.
quote:People thought Tech was legit with all that "defense" (against middle school teams) and Oklahoma went into Lubbock and beat them by 3 TD's. I'd like to think WVU is better than OU. I'd also like to think Texas is much better than Tech and WVU beat them at their own place. I kinda wished Tech had beaten OU so the line for WVU would be much lower.
quote:Todd Fuhrman ?@ToddFuhrman Deja Vu all over again: Sharp money coming in on Texas Tech against an elite Big XII opponent Saturday: @DonBestSports consensus WVU -3.5
quote:Todd Fuhrman ?@ToddFuhrman Two of the worst situational spots this weekend: Florida (sandwich between LSU and USC) & WVU (B2B road trips to Texas before hm gm vs KSU)
quote: WVU line down to 3.5 in a lot of places
quote:West Virginia's offense is built around Big Plays, mostly huge plays in the passing game, Texas Tech has allowed the fewest pass plays of 20+ yards in the country(Texas was ranked 67th). On the flip side Texas Tech is Top 25 in passing plays of 20+ yards while West Virginia's D is 119th in allowing them. Texas was able to get pressure on Smith but they could not negate the big play, I think Tech can do both.

Guest Blogger: Jennifer McCormick, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, via...rideoregonride.com
"Oregon Scenic Bikeways are chosen with cyclists in mind: endearing historic downtowns, breathtaking scenery, and bicycle lanes where possible. Oregon's first designated scenic bikeway celebrates the Willamette Valley, its people and its splendor. The 127-mile Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway (WVSB) travels through one of the most diverse agricultural regions on earth, and showcases the sites where Oregon's history was made.
The Willamette Valley is a broad, alluvial valley bordered by the low, forested Coast Range to the west and by the mountainous Cascades to the east. The Willamette River meanders north through the valley, eventually flowing into the Columbia River at Portland, Oregon's largest city. The Willamette Valley is home to the majority of the state's population, most living in and near Portland, Salem, Albany/Corvallis and Eugene. The rest of the valley, and the state, is rural.
Whether you're an experienced rider looking for a new challenge, or a family looking for a day ride, the WVSB offers unique and new experiences with each ride. Be prepared for rain, though. The valley is known for its wet climate. Bicyclists with good rainwear and a positive attitude can ride in the valley all 12 months. About 50 inches of rain a year falls from November through April. Snow is rare, with only a few light snowfalls per year and major snowstorms only a couple times a decade. April through November brings drier weather, lots of flowers and warm days, making them the best months to ride.
Shorter Routes
If the complete ride sounds like a lot, any section of the WVSB can be used for a day ride. Of course, we have a few favorites.
Champoeg State Heritage Area to Willamette Mission State Park is a great 30-mile round trip. The route takes you through an agricultural have of crops, including miles of hops grown for brewing beer right here in Oregon.
Albany to Shedd is a very flat 42-mile round trip. The route offers scenery of the coast hills, the Willamette River and the valley pastures.
Armitage County Park to Coburg is a great 13-mile round trip ride. Coburg has a great downtown area with a picnic-perfect park and antique stores to browse.
Places to Stay
Looking to rider the WVSB at a more leisurely pace? There are many places to stay along the way that break up the ride well.
Hotels can be found in the cities and towns and along the way, including Salem/Keizer, Independence, Albany, Corvallis and Eugene.
There are also a number of spots to pitch a tent and enjoy an evening under the stars in the fresh Willamette Valley air. These campgrounds are Champoeg State Heritage Area, Willamette Mission State Park, City of Brownsville Pioneer Park and Armitage County Park.
Things to See and Do
Fruit stands spring up along the bikeway, usually opening in May and closing in October. Some of the stands are large businesses; some are set up at the edge of someone's driveway. One fruit not well known outside of the region is the marionberry; sweet, purple, blackberry-type berries that were hybridized in Marion County, the same county that hosts much of the bikeway route. The berries ripen throughout late spring and early summer and are sold by the pound and in jams and pies. Watch for strawberries, cherries and blueberries from early- to mid-summer, followed by green beans, peaches, corn and plums. Fall brings walnuts and hazelnuts.
Many towns in the Willamette Valley have farmers markets May through October. Most markets are held on Saturdays, with a few of the larger towns hosting mid-week markets as well.
The Willamette Valley, Oregon's leading wine region, has two-thirds of the state's wineries and vineyards and is home to more than 200 wineries. It has been recognized as one of the premier pinot noir-producing areas in the world.
There are unique and special stores and restaurants in many of the smaller towns, including Albany, Corvallis, Brownsville and Coburg. Stop in and say hi. You're sure to get a warm greeting and a great story about local products."
Jennifer has a lot of good information abut bicycle touring, but we have to add a couple of comments. First, skip the Salem Oregon hotels and stay with us! The Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild thinks it's high time to book your ride through the Willamette Valley. And yes...we can tell you where to stay, park your bike and enjoy our Oregon countryside, sweet downtowns and the best places to dine! Check us out at www.obbg.org!
Inns along the route: Feller House Bed and Breakfast, Independence House Bed and Breakfast, Harrison House Bed and Breakfast, The Pfeiffer Cottage Inn and C'est La Vie Inn

Because the U.S. Government has Red Tape worst than any country.Why do we not have Queen Conch shells re seeded into the Keys area???Why do you hamper the people growing coral in the keys????Stop the crying eco nuts,they do nothing but collect money to yell and say false statements.When George SOROS dies then you will need to find another person to send you money to complain.Remember when the eco ship tore thru the reef in Keywest and no one ever paid a dime for fines or re seeding the huge long reef they tore out?????The eco ship destroyed more fragile coral in Florida that any imported coral from coral Islands in the south Pacific which is packed full of coral as far as the eye can see and beyond.Stop the lying you liberal fools,corals reefs are three times larger than the USA. and doing better than the horror stories you write,get out there and see for yourself.

The island was exactly what I was looking for. Great size, plenty of extra space to store things and a nice size counter top. The only drawback with this piece was that 1) we had to redrill holes to allow for the shelving to be leveled (had we not, the shelf would of been lopsided) and 2) putting the draw in proved to be difficult. Other than those two quality related issues, I love the way it looks in my kitchen and since it's been up, I've received lots of compliments on it.
Love it! This is a heavy, sturdy piece. Assembley is really a two-person job. Our guests cannot believe it came from an online vendor. It's beautiful and is a great piece for creating extra counter space and storage. It has a big "footprint" so measuring first is important. We recommend you assemble it in the exact space you want it to be. Because of its weight, it doesn't slide easily and sliding may damage flooring.
The island looked great... For a second. The black granite top got water-stained after the first use. Two weeks later it looks awful. I tried several online remedies to remove the water stains and nothing worked. It's too bad because it really is/was a pretty piece. Forget trying to return it; once it's assembled, it's staying put.
I bought this for our kitchen 8 months ago and it has held up well. It is heavy so it is not a island you can move and place at random. Lots of storage and very attractive.
Not happy. Product too expensive for the amount of work to put this together. We had to put the whole thing together.
As many other folks have stated, this product is extremely heavy and even if you're like myself and try to do it on your own - you'll need another body. It also took me longer than most, about 4 hours total, to assemble. Ours came shipped with one of the mounting brackets (on the base) having sheared off (guessing during transit although there was no sign of distress on the packaging). Rather than contact customer service I used wood glue and fastened the piece back on. We chose to mount our own casters on the unit as we wanted some mobility and because of that the base did not require the same level of durability (hence why I wasn't worried about the bracket that much.
Your UPS/Fed-ex person will hate you forever and ever for putting him/her through the pain of delivering this, but just make sure you leave him/her some milk and cookies or a red-bull out by the door on the day of the delivery with a sign apologizing profusely, they will still hate you but at least you will feel a lot better about yourself! Also if you want to go above and beyond you can include a little basket with Bengay Cream, or Preparation H because he/she will surely have either back pain or an hemorrhoid after the bringing this over to your house. It was delivered very quickly in Houston, TX, I ordered it on Monday and it was delivered Friday. It had easy instructions to follow, but you will need help as the granite top is very heavy to put on top. The quality is very good, very well wrapped and protected. We bought the off-white color and it was truly off-white. My wife and I loved it as it makes a great addition to our old kitchen.

E.A.T World: Coxinhas and Brigadeiros in Brazil!
It's very nice here! The beaches are beautiful, though I wish everyone would stop staring at me as if I were some sort of alien. It's like they have never seen a person wearing onesie culottes and a bathing cap before.
Anyway, we just cannot go to Brazil and not listen to some cool Bossa Nova. If you would like to play some ambiance music and sway from side to side on your chair while you listen to The Girl from Ipanema, just hit play on the little gadget below. Sway. Sigh. Repeat.
(Sorry, the music widget doesn't seem to work anymore)
On to the food! After much research I decided to make some Coxinhas, which are Mock Chicken Drumsticks. Not mock chicken, but mock drumsticks. From Wikipedia: Coxinhas are "made from shredded chicken and spices (occasionally including Catupiry-style cheese), enclosed in wheat flour—variants made from potato or manioc are also common--batter, and deep fried. It is shaped to roughly resemble a chicken drumstick, and sometimes a toothpick is inserted where the bone would be."
Wrapped in dough? Breaded? Fried? I'm in! Chicken? Mmmnothanks. I thought about making a mushroom filling, but after lots of self-debating I decided to go with a tofu filling. Mock, mock chicken drumsticks!
The recipes that I used for inspiration are this one and this one. The step by step photos were very helpful, and even though both recipes are for traditional chicken coxinhas, they were very easy to adapt and use little tofu cubes instead.
The verdict? Meh. Coxinhas definitely have potential, but the dough was not enjoyable for me. Next time I will just make a pot pie dough/crust instead. The filling was very tasty, and you can't go wrong with a breadcrumb coating, but the dough was too... doughy.
The coxinhas were a mild disappointment, but the chocolates sure were heavenly!
Who wants some Brigadeiros? I cannot begin to tell you how deliciously addictive these are. They are soft and creamy and smooth and sweet and chocolaty and... *sigh*. They are little chocolate balls made with sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. This was a big challenge because I had to make my own dairy-free condensed milk. Recipe here. I tried to make these a total of four times! Though I only made half a recipe each time. Hmmm. That still sounds pretty crazy.
The first time that I tried to make them they were a complete failure! The condensed milk didn't cook long enough, which caused the chocolate mixture to remain gooey and soft even after a whole day in the fridge. Not to worry, no food goes to waste here and after a wave of my magic wand they became a tiny batch of brownies.
The second time? Complete failure #2! I overcooked the condensed milk and the chocolate mixture became hard as a rock only after a few minutes in the fridge. Grrr!!! Not to worry, no food goes to waste here and after a wave of my magic wand they became a tiny batch of brownies. (Déjà vu!)
The third time? They were delicious... and perfect! But I had cheated and used a cacao baking bar instead of the cocoa powder. Don't judge, I was scared and beat down by the mighty condensed milk from hell. (this was my favorite batch by the way)
The fourth time? I followed the recipe very faithfully (using non-dairy ingredients), I used cocoa powder this time and they were a complete success. Fourth time is a charm!
The only thing that I didn't do was roll the brigadeiros in chocolate sprinkles, because I am not a fan of sprinkles. Whoa. Millions of children all over the world just *gasped* and they have no idea why. I rolled them in coconut flakes and drizzled some melted chocolate chips all over them.
I also dipped some in melted chocolate, no coconut...
So perfect for Valentine's Day! Ooey gooey inside...
My stay in Brazil was very productive and I leave this country as an expert brigadeiro maker. Even though the coxinhas weren't the most delicious thing I've ever eaten, they inspired me to play with the concept and try a different dough and different fillings.
Has the E.A.T World bug bit you yet? Check out Mike's first entry of awesomeness! If you are already acquainted with Mike's blog, Vegan for the People, then you already know that he is no stranger to delicious international cuisine. For E.A.T World, Mike started off in Vietnam with a very informative post about Pho that is full of mouth-watering pictures like this one:
OK, I have to get out of this beach before people start pointing and laughing. See you next time from my next destination! Here's a hint: Ricky Ricardo!
28 comments :
Lisa - Thank you! I wasn't about to be defeated by some delicious chocolate!
Jes - Let's start a make-coxinhas-perfect club! I bet they would be amazing with a mushroom/onion/herb filling. Shut up! You are the culinary genius! :-D
Mo - Thank you! The breading was really good (really, isn't everything that is breaded good?). I really must try making them again with a different dough. Maybe Brazil should be revisited at some point?
Memória - Muito obrigada! OK, that's all the Portuguese I know! :-D How exciting to receive a comment in Portuguese for my Brazilian post! I am so tickled!Aw, the music was 'not available in my country due to lisencing restrictions' so I couldn't get in the mood! *BOO!*
But your chocolates more than made up for it! Third (or fourth) time's the charm ~ and you got to make brownies with the less successful batches so that's a total *win* in my book! ;)
Shame the coxinhas were not not as great as the choccies, but you can't win them all!
I'm very much looking forwards to the next thrilling installment of your E.A.T World Tour! (Hello Cuban noms??).I wish I was in Brazil right now too! Great post, and thanks for the link to my first entry...I can't wait to see the food this idea generates with everybody :)
Both of these dishes sound exciting - the coxinhas look awesome, and the breading looks great, even though you say it was a bit of a letdown. The tofu filling sounds tasty too. Thanks for introducing us to coxinhas! Deep-fried goodness really is a universal thing, isn't it?
The chocolates really got my attention, especially the pic with the gooey insides...wow! I admire your perseverance, and the final results look amazing. Nice job on turning the failures into brownies too...inspired :)
Love the idea of including music, by the way! Perfect selection. Can't wait to see what Ricky Ricardo has to offer :)Cahide - Thank you! I am seriously considering doing Turkish food for my "T" entry! :-D
Sal - I'd email you some brigadeiros if I could! Let me see if I can send them as an attachment...
Becks - BOO!! I did not know that! I will have to find a different music widget thingy. The Cuban noms are coming! The Cuban noms are coming! :-D
Kelly - Don't drool on your keyboard! It's not worth it! :-P
Jenn - Ooey gooey is always good. People should say ooey gooey more! :-D
Joany - Thank you! The chocolates really were irresistible! Mr. Kook is not a big fan of chocolate, so he ate one half of one and I ate the rest. I'm not sorry I did it! Mwahahahaha!
Mike - Thank you! When there is no natural skill, perseverance (or in my case pure stubbornness) always comes in handy. Deep fried goodness IS a universal thing! It's not love or money that make the world go round - it's deep fried breaded stuff! :-Di've never heard of coxinhas before, River! i love this - i always learn something new from your posts! yay! i'm sorry the coxinhas were a bit doughy, and that you ended up making the brigadeiros four times to get them to be the absolute yummiest, but you're too awesome for sticking with it and getting them to be the best! they look heavenly! mmmmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteRicki - I can't put my finger on it, but it's that the chocolate baking bar batch tasted more chocolaty than the cocoa powder. Maybe it was a smoother chocolate flavor. I'm glad you liked the song, I love it! :-)
Mihl - Thank you! If it's chocolate, then it's worth trying and trying and trying until it's just right! :-P
Jessy - I had never heard of coxinhas before, or brigadeiros either. How could have lived the first 30 years of my life without knowing about the divineness of the brigadeiros?!
Jess - Good luck! The trick is to get the stupid condensed milk just right if you're making them from scratch. But if you can buy a can of soy condensed milk then it should be a breeze!
Susan - YAY! Another sprinkle hater! They look so pretty, but they are tasteless and evil! :-DDina - You can say that again!
Kiersten - Thank you! I hope I can get those coxinhas right next time, they really are very promising! :-)
Kelli - Welcome to the kookiness! Thank you! Food and craft lovers of the world unite! :-D
Michal - Thank you! Brigadeiros were news to me too, but I sure am glad I found them! Coconut + chocolate = heaven!
Diann - They were crazy delicious! Those Brazilians sure know what they're doing! :-)Hi, I just discovered your blog and that post really got my attention because I'm from Brazil and people from around the world don't always get to know our traditional food. Actually I was impressed by your persistence with the coxinhas, and I have to say, for a first time, it looks pretty good. Me and my boyfriend tried some recipes and they don't always work out great, but we enjoy it anyway.
I thought that maybe you'd be interested in a basic recipe of dough that we got from a vegan brazilian website. It's that one:
-1kg all-purpose flour;
-1L soy milk or water;
- Vegetable stock (here we use 1 cube);
-Salt and pepper to taste.
You should boil the soy milk or water, when it boils add the vegetable stock, the salt and the pepper and than slowly add the flour. The important thing is to keep stiring during the whole "flour process" so that the dough doesn't get any clumps (that's the hard part for us). That's pretty much it.
I hope I could help (sorry for any english mistakes I might have made).
Good luck with your future coxinhas.

"This fascinating saga is the definitive book on the most important of global issues, the quest for sustainable sources of energy."
In this gripping account of the quest for the energy the world needs, Yergin proves conclusively that energy is the primary engine of global and economic change, and Is crucial to the battle over climate change. From the jammed streets of Beijing, the shores of the Caspian Sea, and the escalating conflicts in the Mideast to Capitol Hill and Silicon Valley, Yergin takes us inside the decisions and choices shaping our future. He clarifies the drama of oil – the struggle for access to it, the battle for control, the insecurity of supply, the consequences of its use, its impact on the global economy, and the geopolitics dominating it – will continue to shape this world. He tells the inside stories and he takes on the toughest questions: Will we run out of oil? Are China and the US destined to conflict over oil? He reveals the surprising history of nuclear and coal power, electricity, and natural gas. He investigates renewables (biofuels and wind) as well as solar energy
Daniel Yergin, one of the most influential voices on energy in the world, is also a highly respected authority on international politics and economics. He received the United States Energy Award for "lifelong achievements in energy and the promotion of international understanding. He also received the Pulitzer Prize for The Prize , a
NY Times' number one bestseller that was made into a PBS/BBC series seen by many millions. He is the chairman of HIS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, and serves as CNBC's global energy expert.

In Milan you breathe fashion. In the streets a fashionable and elegant environment is never unnoticed. It is present wherever you go. But the second largest city of Italy is not only catwalks. It is also the largest commercial, industrial and financial center of the country. In Milan flows much money, but also circulates much culture.
Innovation and design make a difference in what is considered the fashion capital of Europe, along with Paris. The charm and elegance are a constant and make all the difference in the city, which boasts the status of commercial, industrial and finance center in Italy. And it is no coincidence that the most important stock exchange in the country is in Milan. Money is, indeed, something always present in the busy and modern Milanese streets. At the same time, the mingle of Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical monuments in every corner transform a visit to the city in a real outdoor lesson of architecture.Milan is a city that exudes style in every corner and it is hard to resist the charm of the big stores with major brands such as Armani, Prada, Fendi, Gucci and Versace. Although Milan has only just over one million inhabitants, it is estimated that its metropolitan area (the fifth largest in the European Union) has more than four million inhabitants. The second largest city in Italy - after the capital, Rome - is considered one of the world's most cosmopolitan.

After giving a briff outline of the history of the party, she discussed its present status in the government and the structural changes in the regula- tion of industry which have been brought about by the war. Under the Ministry of Labor, the organization first in importance for the controlling of industry is the Council of Industry. The mem- bership is composed of fifty per cent of the organized employers and fifty per cent labor unionists who are appointed by the Labor Conference. They have to deal with the problems of the exchange of employees, the system of draft- ing labor, and the training of j women. Another organization is the Advisory Committee on pro- duction, which investigates all in- dustries for more opportunities of economy and speed. The best example of this desire to cooperate is shown in the coal industry, long decentralized. The first recognition of national control has been in the institution of a national board consisting of repre- sentatives of owners, of the gov- ernment and of the trade union.

Continued on Page Five Princeton and Beer Add Gaiety to First Bryn Mawr Horseshow Specially Contributed by Virginia Ray, '43 Sunday, May 10.�Radnor Ride was the scene today of the first Bryn Mawr College Horseshow. The consensus is that it was a great success. Good horsemanship was demonstrated, and the gallery was swelled by the presence of a number of Princeton men. Ice cream and soft drinks were sold for the benefit of the Bryn Mawr College Scholarship Fund, and many members of the gallery participated in a beer picnic, which added to the friendly informality of the afternoon. The beer was kept in the spring house to cool. The show was judged by Mr. Albert Sullivan, a pupil of Colonel Boswell. The results were: Intermediate Equitation Choate ...........................First Platt ..........................Second Hutzler .........................Third Bloomfleld .....................Fourth Hamilton Advanced Equitation and Figure Eight Estabrook .......................First �Cecil ..........................Second Dunklee ........................Third Dent ..........................Fourth Hersey, Scribner, Glossbrenner, Wal- ker, Nicholson.

M. Nothing was spoiled by the fact that none of the Seniors apparently know what the tree is. "A great tall tree, with leaves that look like an aspen but really aren't." The whole affair is tinged with deception. Whatever variety this tree may be, it has been before the Deanery for at least two months. Worse still, it was not even paid for by the class but by the Grounds Committee. The Seniors hasten to add that this is not because th% treasury is bankrupt. To support this, they point out that to the best of anyone's knowledge no pennies have yet been stolen. Mathematics Relate Symmetry Concepts To Different Fields First Aid Classes Prepared for Amateur Hangings; Dirty Dish Water is Anticipated By Ruth Alice Davis, '44 And then there was the Bryn Mawr girl who prescribed artificial respiration for the victim who was having trouble breathing and also had the minor affliction of a broken rib. . . The Standard First Aid Exams revealed any number of just such budding genii, ready, willing, and we wonder how able to administer "First Aid in divers crises." It appears that they intend to make the patient do her own work�for treatment of a broken back, it was prescribed that "the victim should lie on his stomach, and very care- fully put on a stretcher." Another proposed, in explaining how to treat a broken arm, ". . . and next, I would split the fractured fore- arm." Consider also those bril- liants who came to the conclusion that a "break in the spine" indi- cated a broken back." Another de- cided that "if the victim has been in a bad automobile accident, and is bleeding in the leg, head injuries should be looked for. . ." There were those whose forte was snakebite, who recognized the marks of "phangs" as a prominent symptom, or else a "two-point bite." Some morbid souls hit their high on poisons in general�like the individual who stressed giving dirty dish water to the victim who had taken poison by the mouth. We wonder just what this jolly First Aider would do at a time like this if no dishes had been washed re- cently. One prospective Ellery Queen, when asked to give various cases for artificial respiration, re- plied dramatically' amateur hang- ing." The question still remains, just where is the fine line between amateur and professional in such a pursuit? Perhaps the best answer in a number of cases would have been that given in an informative tome entitled "The Weekend Book in Two Volumes." Referring to brandy as a remedy for shock, it Continued on Fage Six Players Club to Ghe Writing Club Works The class in play writing, taught by Mr. John Gassner, will present a program of two monologues and three one-act plays on Saturday in the Theater Work Shop. It prom- ises to be an interesting and ex- citing performance as it is the culmination of the first year's work in this new course. Emphasis has been placed on writing and criticism rather than on staging. The program has been divided into three groups�folk and domestic drama and that having universal appeal. The first group begins with a monologue of an Irish drunk by Edgar Emery. It is followed by a psychological tragedy about the isolated life of fishermen and is titled, "Child of the Wind," written by Isabel' Martin. Lynn Hadyn has directed it and Doris Benn plays the leading role. "Tea for Ten," a monologue written and presented by Dorcas Dunklee, begins the second group. The attempts of two children to apply their meager knowledge of psychology to their cook's marital problems make the following play, "Psychology Did It" by Sylvia Maynard a light and provocative comedy.' The third play is called "Death At Fredricksburg" and was writ- ten and directed by Edgar Emery. It is the powerful and moving tragedy of a deserter. These efforts are entirely experi- mental and there has been no at- tempt at the professional. Dalton, May 6.�The mathemati- cal concept of symmetry has many applications to physics, philosophy, biology and art, said Dr. Weyl in his lecture on Symmetry. Every- one, he stated, is familiar with ordinary bilateral symmetry which is stressed especially in any ar- chaic art. Confining attention to the plane with a fixed center, he said that the symmetry of a figure can be de- scribed by the group of transforma- tions which leave it invariant. These consist of rotations and their combinations with reflections, as was discovered by Leonardo da Vinci. In Architecture, this sym- metry is fourfold; the great Gothic cathedrals are the most splendid examples of this kind of symmetry. In organic structures five is the prevalent number, although strangely enough, this number is not found in inorganic nature. The regular solids played a large part in the whole of antiquity and dominated Plato's conception of the universe, Dr. Weyl asserted. Including translations the prob- lem becomes that of a two-dimen- sional ornament. The possible ro- tational symmetries of a two di- mensional pattern are those of one, two, three, four, six. Experiments with the symmetries of any other Continued on Pagr Four By Barbara Kautfman, '43 Last Saturday night's perform- ance of Pa ticnre by the combined Haverford and Bryn .Mawr Glee Clubs was disappointing. Although the leading roles were well played, the fresh stimulus which Haver- ford's participation should have afforded was not there. There was an obvious improvement on last year's all-Bryn Mawr performance, but in former years Bryn Mawr alone has done better. It was not Have^ford's fault, but the same lack on enthusiasm which marked last year's Gilbert and Sullivan performance was evi- dent. We had hoped that the addi- tion of new blood might give the operetta a fresh start, but appar- ently something more is needed. Individual roles showed excep- tions. Mary Rambo, as Patience, had a part which affords the great- est possibility for personal expres- sion in a type of play which has by now become highly stylized. She made the best of the oppor- tunity and played with delightful freshness and gaiety. Although her high notes were somewhat un- certain, for the rest her technique was relievingly effortless. Nancy Sapp, as the faithful Lady Jane, far outdid the others in singing and Margot Dethier as Lady An- gela showed perhaps the most tal- ent in combined acting and sing- ing. She brought personality and life into a part which affords but little opportunity for it. Edgar Emery as Bunthorne and Richard Bauer as Grosvenor were very good as far as they went. Although Edgar Emery sang poor- ly at moments, the clarity of his diction completely redeemed him. Both he and Richard Bauer played well, but neither brought anything to his role. What the parts asked of them they performed excellent- ly, but they added nothing. The real trouble lay, however, in the choruses and in the diction of practically everyone. The girls' chorus was lifeless, too frequently flat in more ways than one. The dragoons sang much better and Continued on Page Five Collection of Curious and Ancient Herbals To Conclude Exhibitions in Rare Book Room Specially Contributed by Mary Louite Terrien The Rare Book Room Committee has chosen herbals for its last exhibition of the year. Since this college has no herbals of its own, if one excepts an Aldine Theo- phrastus of 1497, the writer has had to beg from our more fortu- nate neighbors. They have re- sponded most generously and the room may now really be called a treasure foom, for it holds many noteworthy examples of books on this sixteenth century by-product of botany, agriculture and medi- cine. A great number of rare vol- umes and prints have come from the libraries of Mrs. Isaac La Boiteaux, Mr. S. J. Herben, Mrs. Alba Johnson, and the Misses Mary and Margaret Peirce. From his large and magnificent collec- tion of herbals, Mr. Richard Lloyd, of Haverford, has lent five to Bryn Mawr. Of these, the most im- portant is the "Grete Herball" printed by Peter Treveris in 1529. It is the most fam6us of the earlier English herbals and is an trans- lation of "Le Grant Herbier," which in turn was a version of the fifteen century "Circa instans" now in the Biblioteca Estense at Modena. From the modern point of view it contains much that is decidedly odd with regard to medi- cal subjects. The remedies, or "vertues" as they are called, for various ailments, strike one as curious and drastic and would seem to be possible only for an abnormally robust people. Probably the most interesting from a literary point of view is a "baby" Fuchs printed in Basel in 1545, which has been lent by Miss Edith Finch. Leonarhard Fuchs, j like the majority of the herbalists, 'was a physician. In 1529 he ac- Continuea on Fag� Five

Blood typing is a method to tell what specific type of blood you have. What type you have depends on whether or not there are certain proteins, called antigens, on your red blood cells.
Blood is often grouped according to the ABO blood typing system. This method breaks blood types down into four types:
Your blood type (or blood group) depends on the types that are been passed down to you from your parents.
Cross matching; Rh typing; ABO blood typing
A blood sample is needed and will be drawn from a vein.
The test to determine your blood group is called ABO typing. Your blood sample is mixed with antibodies against type A and B blood, and the sample is checked to see whether or not the blood cells stick together (agglutinate). If blood cells stick together, it means the blood reacted with one of the antibodies.
The second step is called back typing. The liquid part of your blood without cells (serum) is mixed with blood that is known to be type A and type B. Persons with type A blood have anti-B antibodies, and those with type B blood have anti-A antibodies. Type O blood contains both types of antibodies. These two steps can accurately determine your blood type.
Blood typing is also done to tell whether or not you have a substance called Rh factor on the surface of your red blood cells. If you have this substance, you are considered Rh+ (positive). Those without it are considered Rh- (negative). Rh typing uses a method similar to ABO typing.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. These soon go away.
This test is done to determine a person's blood type. Health care providers need to know your blood type when you get a blood transfusion or transplant, because not all blood types are compatible with each other. For example:
Type O blood can be given to anyone with any blood type. That is why people with type O blood are called universal blood donors.
Blood typing is especially important during pregnancy. If the mother is found to be Rh-, the father should also be tested. If the father has Rh+ blood, the mother needs to receive a treatment to help prevent the development of substances that may harm the unborn baby. See: Rh incompatibility
If you are Rh+, you can receive Rh+ or Rh- blood. If you are Rh-, you can only receive Rh- blood.
ABO typing:
If your blood cells stick together when mixed with:
If your blood cells do not stick together when anti-A and anti-B are added, you have type O blood.
Back typing:
Lack of blood cells sticking together when your sample is mixed with both types of blood indicates you have type AB blood.
RH typing:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
There are many antigens besides the major ones (A, B, and Rh). Many minor ones are not routinely detected during blood typing. If they are not detected, you may still have a reaction when receiving certain types of blood, even if the A, B, and Rh antigens are matched.
A process called cross-matching followed by a Coombs test can help detect these minor antigens and is done before transfusions, except in emergency situations.

Ford Escape Stained Seats
fyrball Posts: 1I never thought I would be reading about cars and problems on a web site, but here I am. After driving GM products my entire life, I had to turn in a Saturn Vue (which I loved, BTW). I was advised to give Ford a try. Even though the engine (V6) was certainly no where near where my Vue was, I somehow liked the Escape (08) on the test drive. I figured I could forgive the lack of horsepower. I have less than 3000 miles on this car, and I absolutely hate it. What caught my eye in your posting was the steering wheel noises. (sorry, I can't answer to your seat issues, but you have my sympathy. Thus far, I am ok with my cloth camel seats.) But the noises? This car is full of noises. The steering wheel, when turning right only makes a creaking noise as if the car were 10 stinking years old! I am considering taking it in but dread getting the strange looks from the same techs who had the car three times to fix another loud creaking noise from the right rear brake two weeks after I picked up the car. It also sounds like the panels on both doors rattle and there are noises coming from the dashboard. I believe I will be taking it in for the noise that bothers me the most, as I am SURE, they will never ever get this SUV to lose all of it's shakes, rattles and rolls.
And yes, I hear sounds going over bumps, exactly like what you have said about sounding like something needs lubrication. The car sounds like it has 100,000 miles on it.
To anyone who reads this: think twice about this vehicle. Yes, it has handsome looks. Those looks are not worth it to someone who likes to drive and enjoy some peace and quiet while driving. I am glad I opted for the high-end stereo, as turning it up to drown out the Escape's noises is part of my sentence for the next 22 months and six days I have left to deal with this piece of crap.
Oh, and those of you who like Vista Blue? It chips easily. Under my normal driving conditions, the front end already has chips out of the front bumper and hood. I didn't realize that I would have to research colors from Ford before I picked up this vehicle. Apparently, I did.
Good luck. -

FORD: 2008-2009 Escape Hybrid, Escape
Some 2008-2009 Escape and Escape Hybrid vehicles (excludes Mariner) equipped with Cloth seats (excludes XLS) and built on or before 5/14/2009, may exhibit stains with a white ring outline around them. An updated seat cover is now available to reduce this specific type of staining.
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition
Inspect the seat cover stain for a white ring outline.
If the white ring stain is present, then replace the seat cover with latest level part. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-10 Seating Disassembly and Assembly.
***Thought I would help those of you that need this info...yes I work for a dealer*** -
keytexas Posts: 20My vehicle is a 2008 Escape 2WD XLS. It appears it would not qualify?? The seats are past the white ring stage. I have scrubbed them until they are just nasty. There is no doubt though that they should be replaced.
I did call the dealership here and they ran the VIN # and came up with nothing, so I'll take your post to them and see if that spurs some action.
Thank you! -
mcgeeange Posts: 1I just thought I would add to this discussion. I have a 2008 Ford Escape which I bought brand new and like many others have the disgusting stains on all seats. All of my seats have the white stain. The stains started very soon after I bought it. I tried cleaning them but that made them worse. I was so fed up with looking at the disgusting seats that I planned on getting custom seat covers. I'm glad I took the time to research the problem first. After reading the posts on this site I contacted my dealer about the problem. They told me to bring my car in. I took it in today and they bent over backwards to get me new seat covers. They said I was only the second person to complain and I live in a large city. I was told it will take a day to complete the installation and I will be given a rental for the day. I am very pleased and highly recommend contacting your dealer if you have the same problem. The squeaky wheel does get oiled!
cdmac36 Posts: 5Thanks to this forum my Ford dealer has ordered a new seat cover for my 2008 Escape! I already had an appointment scheduled for Customer Satisfaction Program #09B10 (Transmission Cooler issue) and told the svc advisor about the seat stain TSB after reading this forum. The cover should arrive in a couple of weeks. Thanks!!
strlightgazr Posts: 1Thank you for posting this service bulletin!!! I've spoken to at least 3 different dealers about the seats and the only help I got was "try carpet cleaner." I finally found this and took it in for the CSP and handed them a copy of your post and FINALLY they helped me! New seat covers in a few days!! Thank you!
vg33e power Posts: 314
lucillej Posts: 1I went online today to see if anyone had problem with "Ford 2008 XLT Cloth Seats" only to find out this is a major problems for Ford and they have not addressed this issue. Now this is ia new vehicle and my seats already look like someone urinated all over them and I can't figure what is going on. Finally, I took the car in to have them clean, and were told this is a "Petroleum" oil base seat and the oil is coming out. This is a complete "Quality Issue" The noise in this vehicle also sound like it's 10 years old. I can't sell it, I will not purchase another Ford Escape.
Ford need to address their vehicles and stop waiting until this get out over the Internet, because it will end up out here and you can't argue with real life stories. -
mamc4 Posts: 1I bought my 2008 escape Last January. I have been noticing the rings on the seats getting worse. I called my dealership about this TSB and they told me that it only applied within the 3 year or 35,000 mile. I bought my car at 46,000 miles. Is this true? And if so is there any other way of getting the seats fixed?

I finally gave up trying to clean the seats. Decided I had nothing to lose, so I got a spray bottle (32oz.), draped the areas around the seats with old towels and blankets to protect them from over spray. I then filled the bottle with 1 tablespoon of vinegar, then added 2/3's with hot water,I then added half a bottle of liquid black RIT Dye. Shook it up good and proceeded to spray the seats. Parked the car in the sun to expedite drying. When dry to the touch I did it again. After letting it dry for 2 days I took a towel to and rubbed of any residue and then treated with Scotch Guard... Guess what ? My seats look great and I have not had any issues for over a month and 3,000 miles....

thecardoc3 Posts: 1,869First remove the seats from the car. (Be careful with the wiring harnesses) The seat bottom and back bolt together at the reclining hinges. Once they are apart you will sometimes see zippers, "hog rings" or they could simply be a stretch fit that interlocks with plastic supports. Now the fun starts, the covers are a tight fit, but with a little effort you can work them off of the frame and cushion material. If you try to wash and dry them they might shrink and you will have a very difficult time putting them back on.

It is about a teenage boy called Clay Jensen who finds a package with several cassette tapes recorded by his classmate and first girlfriend, Hannah Baker. On the tape Hannah tells him and the twelve other people that received the package that there are thirteen reasons why she killed herself two weeks before they received the package and that they are one of the reasons. This results in Clay's life never being the same again.I liked this book because you feel like the author is connecting to you by asking you questions. I also liked the fact that I could imagine the characters and what was happening through the use of adjectives.The only thing that I disliked about this book is that it can portray Hannah's state of mind to teenagers and encourage them to give up if things get tough, like Hannah did.10/10. It was brilliant!

Walnut Brown Douglas Desk
Beautiful, well-made desk!
This desk is gorgeous. It is solid wood, crafted with attention to detail. It is more red than the photograph here shows...not quite cherry, but reddish tone of walnut. I've only had it for a month or so, but it seems very sturdy.

Great desk.
I had been searching for a desk that provided me with more work area but take up less real estate than my previous desk. I'll admit, the color of this wasn't quite what I was expecting, there's a lot more red in it than I thought based on the picture. That's really my only "complaint." Otherwise, the desk was really easy to put together, it's very sturdy, yet lightweight. I don't use the drawer to hold my keyboard, but it does help keep my clutter in check. All in all, I recommend this desk to anyone, especially at the price. The shipping box was well padded and everything was organized well inside it, so it only took me about 30 minutes to put together.

Very Universal
This desk is so multi-functional.
It took about 25 minutes to assemble, and tied in all together very nice and solid.
It is perfect for my small home office.
My kids love to use it for homework as well.

Absolutely Love It!
My husband and I are extremely happy with this purchase. The quality is great, and the wood grain is very nice. Since our style is a little more modern, we plan to pair it with some clear chairs with chrome legs, and top it with some herb plants in dark brown square pots.

Great outdoor dining set
A good quality table and chairs, sturdy and unlike the other review we found it very easy to assemble and took longer to unwrap everything than to assemble it. We do plan to put some Thompson Water Sealer on the furniture after letting it weather a bit on our screened porch. I did buy the outdoor chair pads and they are really nice and were a good price also.

It was great when I just needed a small table, it was wonderful when I had a party and pulled it out to it's full size.

Very nice desk
I ordered this desk for my computer. It suits the room just fine and overall I am very happy with it. It arrived in good condition with no marks or scratches. The only thing was assembling it. Thank goodness my husband who is very handy. We were sent one wrong piece for the drawer that contains the keyboard. Although they were marked 7 and 8 they were clearly the same piece. That's where my handy husband come in. He was able to use the piece anyway and drill new holes to make it fit. Because of it's location you have no idea that he had to drill new screw holes. The other thing about assembly was that it was much easier with a drill and a very small bit. Most of the screw holes were only punched requiring a lot of force be place on the screw to actually screw it in. My husband again drilled the holes out a bit deeper to make it easier to assemble. While I recommend it I would also recommend that you have a handy man to help assemble it.
