Review title: Great design, but poor manufacturing and poor choice of material Product review: The design of this mousepad is very nice and stylish. The mouse area is large, and it is embedded in a plastic frame with curved edges that feel smooth on the wrist. When new, the material from which the actual, silver-colored mousing plate exerts only little friction on the mouse and yet provides good control of the mouse position. However, the material is too sensitive against scratching. This is particularly bad since the manufacturer is apparently not capable of making the surface sufficiently flat. The surface features faults -- like a curtain. While the mouse doesn't touch the valleys, it excessively wears the ridges, which then become dull and ugly-looking patches already after one day of use. I have returned my first mousepad because of this problem, but the second one has the same problem.

Review title: Not morbid at all! Product review: I read the back of the book and thought this would be a blow by blow account of looking after a brain damaged child. I found that the story gripped me from the very first page and kept me reading since instead it is a study of the charactsers in the family surrounding the child. The inner turmoil of the father and the unexpected unfolding of events beyond the control of the parents in the family make this a gripping read. Anne Widdecombe's writing is superb and alternates detailed dialogue and inner thoughts with succinct summaries of conversations and the aftermath of various events. The final denoument is unexpected, poignant and beautifully written. We are left hoping that the family will find happiness in the end and the father's turmoil is over.I look forward to seeing a televised version of the Clematis Tree.

Review title: super yum Indian food Product review: I absolutely love Indian food. Unfortunately, I am the only one I know that does. There is also no Indian restaurants where I live. Quite a downer... This is as close as I have found with premade entrees to authentic Indian cuisine. The Chhole is fantastic, amazing flavor and alot of kick. It is so strong it needs to have a bit of water added and served with rice, or mixed in with other entrees. It can also be used for amazing dips.I highly recommend this to everyone who enjoys Indian food.
