Great Product Jabra STONE3 Bluetooth Headset - Retail Packaging (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The review about this product

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this?) I am not a headset person primarily because none of them fit me well. I was very excited when I put the Stone3 in my ear - it fit perfectly! Did not fall out or cause pain during extended wear. I was very impressed but that's where it stopped.

After a 2 hour charge I paired it with my phone. It was an easy setup - not unlike any other bluetooth set. It told me that I had 2 hours of talk-time. I was not happy and finally understood the Amazon description above - "Power2go portable charger enables you to charge on the go, allowing a total of 10 hours of talk time -2 hours in headset alone". I called a friend to test the call quality and the communication was clear. After having spoken for 10 mins, I checked the battery status and the voice guidance told me that I had 1 hr 30 minutes of talk time remaining. A headset which cannot provide even have 2 hours of talk time is a deal-breaker!

I put the headset back into the pebble charger - the only way to recharge. I had 1 hour of talk time after 25 minutes and about 2 hrs after about an hour of charging.

Definitely a "DO NOT BUY" recommendation!

PROS:
* Great concept of providing a compact, well designed on-the-go charger
* Very light and comfortable fit with choice of eargels to customize fit.
* Good call quality
* Voice guidance works

CONS:
* Short talk time - Approx 2 hours
* Long recharge cycle - Approx. 1 hour for a full charge
* Short recharge cord

Great concept but poorly executed!

Great Product I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place (Hardcover)

The review about this product

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this?) I am only a couple years younger than Norman so his time benchmarks are familiar to me. I am also not familiar with his other work but I took this book to be essays on places he had lived. They are far more about Norman himself. His style has a folksy attention to detail that only worked for me for a while. Overall, the book felt a bit pretentious to me as if the tiniest detail of someone's day to day life should resonate with importance for me. The book was interesting but not engaging.

I'd recommend this book to people of a younger generation (say under 40) as they might find the detail work fascinating. It didn't speak to me but it might be a very illuminating read for others.

Reviews About Breath The Ultimate Secret to Life (Kindle Edition)

Its a review about this product

I met Rose in India earlier this year at a conference, though I didn't get to know her personally, I observed in her this vibrancy for life, for living, just for being alive!

Now that I've read her book, I feel that I've a peek into an express narration of this amazing person. What I love about this book is that you can feel that Rose is just next to you, sharing her life including her personal journey with supporting her mother with thrombosis to healing recovery and breathing her last.

As a rebirther, she shares her experiences and knowledge in this calling, the different methods of purifications etc and what her daily life routine is like and they are filled with her vision to stay physically alive forever ! She also post a challenge to you with this: "Why would reaching 150 be a problem? I invite you all to love that long, even it were only to check me ! "

I've learnt much reading this book and her zest for life and breath. She said this: "When I don't breathe I die, it is that simple. "If we only breathe half, we only live half !" and this: " Breath is the nicest present you can give to a cell which is yourself.". They sound like simple statements but they are so true as I've personally experience this power of my own healing breath.

This book is easy to read. It is a great start for anyone curious about breathwork-rebirthing. And a final word from this book "Do not be a dummy by saying NO because of the unknown.

Its my choice Let Me Be Frank: My Life at Virginia Tech (Hardcover)

The review about this product

I guess anybody can write an autobiography these days? I have been a VT fan my entire life and graduated from the University in 2001. I was there for the Michael Vick years - the pinnacle of Frank Beamer's career. This book, by default, to me should be the best thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately, I have since watched the program downward spiral into mediocrity, and reading this book made me a little sick to my stomach. Frank Beamer seems to care more about his personal relationships with his assistant coaches than he does the team's production on the field. Calling fans "out-of-whack" when they questioned him with statistics and factual data surrounded the ho-hum production of the offense. I am absolutely flabbergasted that Frank Beamer thinks he is relevant enough to write an autobiography. "Arrogance" is the word that comes to mind. He need to win a championship first, and then become an author. And I'm not referring to an ACC championship; he needs to win a National Championship. Then he will become important enough to where people can pay $20 to read his life story in his own words. Until then, Frank is a struggling college football coach in a terrible conference doing just enough to get by. Frank Beamer has undoubtedly done some great things for Virginia Tech during his 26 years of tenure, but not great enough to write an autobiographical hardcover book (yet anyhow).

Reviews About Blue Microphones TIKI Dual-Mode Compact USB Condenser Microphone, Cardioid (Electronics)

The review about this product

It took me awhile to get used to all of the wonderful aspects of the TIKI, however, with some great support from their techs, I have found it to be an amazing little microphone with a huge amount of benefits. I highly recommend this microphone to anyone wanting to record themselves or use it for skyping, conference calling, etc. It is great!! (Btw, the issues I was having with it were due to OPERATOR ERROR, that would be me, and nothing to do with the quality of the TIKI...I LOVE it!!!!)

Reviews About Prairie Song: A Novel, Hearts Seeking Home Book 1 (Paperback)

The review about this product

Prairie Song: A Novel, Hearts Seeking Home Book 1 (Kindle Edition) I am an avid reader of prairie fiction and have read many books in this genre, especially about 1800's wagon trains. So I had high expectations for this book because it combined some of my favorite elements. This book started out unusually slow. I don't require non-stop action, especially if the book is well written with beautiful descriptive passages. But this book didn't deliver on either front. Also, it seemed like the author was trying too hard naming her characters, to the point it was destracting to have so many odd or unusual names. A hero named Boney just doesn't sound right. I almost gave up, but it got better around the 33% mark. But overall this was a disapointing reading experince, especially considering the price of this book. Also the references to alcoholism seemed a bit naive. I wish it had been better read.

Great Product Becoming Right: How Campuses Shape Young Conservatives (Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology) (Hardcover)

The review about this product

Amy Binder and Kate Wood capture many truths about how and why young Americans become conservative, but this book has a number of factual errors and misses too much to be a principal source for understanding conservative groups. I will focus just on its mistakes relating to Young America's Foundation, the largest young conservative organization. On p. 81, the authors assert that a 501 c 3, like Young America's Foundation, is "officially prohibited from lobbying for legislation." Such entities have caps on how much they may spend, but if they opt in to lobbying permission under IRS regulations, as YAFoundation has, it is not prohibited. A few paragraphs later I learn we (yes, we!) are supported by David and Charles Koch, the Olin Foundation, and others. That would surprise the Kochs and the former Olin Foundation! Where did the authors get such a notion? From a report going back to 1985 by Media Matters. Young America's Foundation would love to be supported by the Olin Foundation and the Kochs, but it is just not the case. The authors suggest Young America's Foundation professors, like Robert George and Harvey Mansfield, are outliers to our programs. In fact, Robbie George is a frequent lecturer. "Outliers" could accurately be said of guest lectures by Nobel Laureates Lech Walesa, James Buchanan, and Vernon Smith, but regular lectures include Professors Walter Williams, Burt Folsom, Larry Schweikart, and others. These type of errors riddle the book and here is why: the authors rely on too many secondary sources, and in the YAF case on one former staffer, when they could have and should have interviewed the organizational leaders. At least they should have run some of their assumptions by its principals before publishing. They conclude YAF attracts "Joe Average" college student, using a stray and inaccurate comment of the former YAF conference director. In fact, a student who absorbs his or her normal academic load, but then attends special conferences, seminars, and lectures, are far from an average college "Joe" and the authors must know that! Finally, like other books by Leftists, the authors can't abide calling the groups what they identify as, except in the subtitle; we are "conservatives" not self-identified "Rightists!"

Its my choice No Longer a Slumdog: Bringing Hope to Children in Crisis (Paperback)

The review about this product

"No Longer a Slumdog" is a book about how God touched the author's heart for the Untouchables of India which lead to opening Bridge of Hope schools for these forgotten and often abused children. He tells their stories and gave surprising facts and statistics about the Indian culture. I had no idea that there were so many Untouchables.

I've read some autobiographies about Untouchables and about human trafficking in India, so I was familiar with much of the information, but it's clear that this author has a passion for helping them. His writing was very clear and touching. Best of all, he gave ways that people can get involved to help these children--though it's mainly through prayer and by supporting Gospel for Asia's Bridge of Hope centers. It sounds like God is really working through these people to really make a difference. Also, all the money sent to sponsor a child actually goes directly to support that child, which is nice.

I'd highly recommend this book to anyone, and I've started sponsoring three precious girls so they can attend the Bridge of Hope centers. You can also learn more at the Gospel for Asia website (gfa . org).

Great Product What In The World Are They Spraying? (DVD)

Its a review about this product

This is one of the best made and most focused documentaries on this subject that I have ever seen. If have noticed the waves of respiratory issues and sore throats that follow these events and watched them happen for years. I don't need convincing, but it is good to see all the evidence in one place. Back in 2007, television station KLSA in Louisiana responded to a viewers concern about the massive chemtrailing and tested some of the material he'd collected. It contained dangerous levels of Barium. Barium and Aluminum are constantly being found in these. Barium can cause heart problems and wear down your immune system. It could be behind some of our rise in heart disease, but no one is ever tested for Barium and Aluminum on a routine basis. You can still find the news story online. The station was so besieged by hundreds of calls from around the nation that it decided not to spend more resources on it.

Of the many frightening things mentioned, not the least was that the aluminum is highly flammable making forest fires more deadly and we have seen that in the outbreaks in Texas last summer. However, the scariest thing by far and the reason everyone needs to watch this was the reaction of congress. One representative after another refused to acknowledge that he knew anything about geo-engineering and literally RAN away, ducking into offices and not looking happy to be asked about it. Why didn't they just say thanks and ask for information??? Because they were told not to talk about it??? By whom?? The only person who was willing to stop and talk when asked to consider the topic was the man who was chairing the committee to "discuss whether geo-engineering was a good idea". He said he didn't agree with it and smiled as if they should be pleased. When they told him it was already going on right over his head, he denied it. What does this say??? To me it says that we have no congress and they know it. They are well paid to keep up the pretense, but these people we think we are electing to protect us from things such as this are just going through the motions of playing a game that someone else is running. We need to find out who that someone is.

The Real Truth about Success: What the Top 1% Do Differently, Why They Won't Tell You, and How You Can Do It Anyway! (Hardcover) Finally, a business book that truly engages you from page one and gets beneath the layers of superficiality that tends to rule most interviews of those on the top of their professions. I normally fall asleep reading this type of book but Wynn is a natural comedian and teacher. He keeps your attention with "laugh out loud" humor and creates a safe space for you to look at your own personal "success leverage." I would recommend this book to any entreprenuer or budding executive who wants to develop their competitive edge with authenticity. V. Levin, Atlanta

Reviews About Sennheiser Binaural Headset with Xl Ear Cap (CC 550) (Office Product)

The review about this product

I read some of these reviews and almost didn't buy this item. That would have been a mistake. I was using a Panasonic KX-TCA92 headset at work, and thought communications problems were largely just part of the phone system. When I lost them I decided to get something better.

It's a huge difference. I don't find myself saying "I'm sorry, can you repeat that", or them saying "what" anymore. It makes work so much easier and more productive.

They are a bit expensive, but, it helps so much it's easily worth it. Going back would be excruciating.

These are easily the best I have used.
