Title: a matter of balance Review: This fifth book in the ongoing Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamiliton is an improvement but more so since it has some actual character developement in it besides the as usual nice sex scenes. However this should indeed have been the back half of Book 4, not book 5. While it good, I do not think it warranted a book of its own, especially as it takes up almost literally in the next paragraph from the last one.I've always enjoyed LKH's worlds, but I find I'm getting increasingly out of patience with the continuing sex scenes and the plots wandering if at all existent. The Merry Gentry series seems to be a bit better than her Anita series, simply because there is a timeline and eventual goal to the whole series as opposed to the Anita books, which have become simply the continuing adventures and soap opera of a very interesting world.LKH is excellent at creating worlds and characters, but she really needs to get back to a goal and end focus for each book.

Title: To you who loved Metal in school and thought you'd outgrown Review: Holy Cow!I'm an avid music collector, over 1000 discs now, and the first time I listened to this I said "oh yes, this is what I have been waiting for..." I graduated high school in the 80s and loved all the heavy metal that was popular back then. Of course as I've grown into my 30s my musical horizons have been expanded beyond belief, into jazz, ambient, alternative, space music, you name it. The other day I got my hands on this and it's just the ticket. All the technical mastery you could want, but in a band that delights in playing AS A BAND and not just shredding into oblivion like Yngwie. Crossed up with some funk and enough other influences to really keep you captivated. It's great stuff! Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Works well but mislabeled Review: I purchased this to connect my iPod to my stereo like many people. When I received it I noticed that it was labeled as an output adapter for Pioneers line of satellite radios and got concerned. I tried connecting it and found that it didn't add an Aux input in my stereo menu. Crutchfield was willing to take a return but they couldn't exchange it because Amazon was involved. I got busy and didn't return it. I tried it again but did a little more research and found that you have to get into an obscure menu that is accessed in OFF mode... yes when the stereo is off. Anyways I turned the AUX input on in this obscure menu and viola it works, it works great and is long enough to hang out thru my ashtray opening where I can access it readily.Overall it works fine but could use some instructions.
