I hope not Product review: What this book needs most is a continuity editor to keep the physical descriptions compatible. It would help if the characters had plausible motivations for their actions. It would help if the basics of every day life - the manditory duties of the priest, the caring for the sheep - were in the general vicinity of accurate. It would help if the book had a cohesive view of the magic, ritual, hallucinagenic substances, reincarnation etc. that make up the core of the plot.It should be obvious that I don't care for this coming-of-age, gay masochist novel. What makes it most frustrating is that here and there one reads flashes of excellent writing - enough so that this book may have an historical place in gay erotica. But for general reading, save your "to read stack" for better materials.

Review title: Vivitar VP1 for 283 Flash Product review: For those that know how big of a workhorse that the now discontinued Vivitar 283 flash is this little product is really cool! Makes the 283 flash into a very controllable light source. The only problem is that as I now understand the VP-1 has also now been discontinued. Wish I could find a source to buy two or three more of these handy devices!

Review title: Spray Sense collars stop working Product review: The Spray Sense collars used to be great and last a long time. In the last year I have bought 5 and they either broke after a couple of weeks or didn't work at all out of the box. The company told me they are having trouble with the manufacturer and replaced 3 collars so far. Haven't used them yet so can't say if they are any better. They look the same as the ones I returned.
