Third times the charm???
350847
First two units failed within a day of installation (less than 20 miles of driving).  Third one has been installed for 5 days at this writing - only time will tell.  First unit that failed showed visible damage between rubber boot and metal sleeve, with an adhesive like substance extruded between the boot and sleeve.  Sleeve also appeared to be stretched open more at spark plug end, looking like the unit got very hot and pushed the potting out of the sleeve.  Part marking on first unit was NOT SP-777 which WAS on second and third unit.  Installed in a 2003 Jaguar XK8 4.2L - at this point, I would not recommend chancing it.

Before I start this review, let me say "I read the poor reviews for this third book and against my better judgement went ahead and started on the trilogy anyway.  Thinking to myself "the ending can't be as bad as they are saying".  IT WAS!!

SO HERE'S MY REVIEW:
After reading all three books in 5 days, I am shocked, EXTREMELY SAD and completely confused at how the last five percent of  'Final Act' went down!!  What happened?  I mean what happened at the end to all of these characters we were so invested in?  What happened to this author - that he would leave us with such an ambiguous ending?  I can't stop thinking about it.  As I look back on how much I loved the first two books and ninety five percent of the third - OH! how  I wish I'd not read any of them!  I read to escape - be it a happy ending or sad one.  I don't think I've ever read the end of the last book of a trilogy that leaves you feeling like - "OK.  When the next book comes out, we will find out what happened with the battle, and what happened with Lillith, etc."  I won't say more specifics in case other readers might consider them spoilers.  Yeah!  Right!  Anyway, Final Act was anything but final.

third one,  seems they all have a preinstalled virus, doesn't take long for  IE or chrome to start running all these popups... Like I said third one, thats three  of them and they all are corrupted........first one crashed on IE couldn't search or type anything, second one even before that garbage happened wouldn't let me install software from a dvd drive.  and the third one got all of it........

Number 17 is showing a better plot than the last two, in my opinion.  Spoiler alert:  She still has not chosen a man.  No surprise there.  I am wondering if the author is trying to make it to number 20 before Stephanie choses.  Also, the sex scenes are back, thankfully, which is probably why I am feeling more patient.

OK so this is the finale in the Trilogy.
Am loving the way Matt Shaw does little intros and endings to his stories... a glimpse into his own life, which as a reader is voyeuristic pleasure!
His style of writing is highly enjoyable and easy to read.
That said, some really basic errors left me wanting to scream!
Seriously, plastic cutlery??  she smashed a ceramic bowl and had tins in the kitchen, last time I thought about escaping a bricked up house, I assumed these would be easier to dig our mortar!
Poor Vanessa... having killed off Peter she is now left with paranoid hallucinations which drive her to all sorts of new horrors.
Again, seriously!! she was only captive a few days.. not years! how did she get so loopy so fast!
More unanswered questions... who was watching?

Matt Shaw is driving me bonkers with the (yes very Tarantino esq) time line issues!

I note 3 more books to this trilogy (another 3 if you count the 9months books!)
hopefully they will give me the answers I crave.

Okay, I bought a pack of 3 in January. My first pen worked so well and as I expected. Since it ran out of ink, I got the next one out. The next one started working okay but then stopped working even though it still has tons of ink left! The third one was just like that as well. Pisses me off so much! I genuinely like these pens so I am not sure what's going on. I would like a refund but now it's out of refund window. I mean who can use 3 pens in one month? I hope they send me a new one!!!! Attached picture shows how much ink is left in each pen and my desperate trial to get them to work!!! Ugh

After reading the first two books in the series, I have to say that I'm disappointed in the third. I liked the callbacks to the other characters and their relationships, and I think I'd like Ren if his story was a little more developed - something that is difficult when written entirely in one character's point of view. While I didn't have a problem with a classic cellist not knowing an up and coming band (or a just arrived and trying to stay on top band), I thought Ivy could have been fleshed out a little more. She plays the cello and she once had a crush on a guy who disappeared 5 years ago. That and a few other tidbits are all we ever really know about her. And a lot comes out of that crush that so very little is said about. I didn't get the sense that she put much thought into him after those few weeks of the police looking for him passed. But when they see each other.....***~~magic~~***

And I agree with the other reviews who point out that the likelihood of him disappearing for five years and no one in his circle figuring out who and where he was when he didn't even bother to change his name is a plot hole the author needed to seriously reconsider. I can hear the conversations between his peers: "Remember Ren?" "Yeah." "Wonder what happened to him." "Dunno." "Hey, those are my fries. If you want fries order your own." If he'd changed his name, I might have accepted the contrivance.

So that said, it's not a bad book. The first two are better thought out, with the first being the best of the series so far. (Still waiting to see what Morris has in store for us.) I feel that as a first draft it's great. I wish she'd put a little more into it on the 2nd and 3rd go around to really flesh things out and think through those plot holes.

Just ordered my third device. The first was DOA...the second worked great the first two times I used it and the third it became defective. I was very careful with the product, putting it back inside its packaging and storing it safely. Either Im just unlucky or its not very well made. Hopefully third time is the charm here! Its a very useful product

Ok, so a the 5th Wave was amazing, story kept me from putting the book down.  I started Infinite Sea, and actually had to go back and re-read 5th Wave.  I was immediately confused with the point of view, it switched from Cassie in the first book, to Ringer in the second.  The Infinite Sea continues on with points of view other than Cassie.  Although I appreciated some more depth to another point of view, I wished it would return to Cassie.  The ending had me confused, I had to re-read it several times.  It definitely is a cliff hanger, and I suppose I will have to re-read this one before starting the 3rd in the series just to re-orient myself with who is who.  Are they aliens? No? Yes? I don't know.  Hope the 3rd book will be just as good as the first, the second lagged for me a bit.

I went through about 3 of these with my local microcenter in 2 weeks, first was a stuck "w" key, imagine playing a game like that lol.
The second was bricked during the firmware update, apparently my local microcenter had old stock? Third return with them and the "w" again will not work or gets stuck, even after updating the boards. I really wanted and still do want one of these, but I am hesitant to purchase another.... Just sayin'

I am going to start out with a 3 until I see further let me explain why

1. The packaging was good so that was great
2. It was nice how each one was wrapped individually so good again
3. Trouble Spots
--The first Cyan didn't work. It had ink, I would put it in, and initially it would light up. However, but within a few seconds the printer would stop recognizing it. I was never able to print with that cartridge

--They are messy. The yellow and cyan both got all over my hands. After the initial mess (from opening them) they didn't seem to leak really, but again the first one failed

--The second cyan... well that made quite a mess on my countertop and now I have stains... not sure i'll be able to get them out.

So, please make sure you use gloves LOL to open (at least I should have), and make sure to have a towel you don't care about under it and clean it up, before placing in the printer.

So it was nice they are inexpensive, and it's nice you get a lot, but so far I can only go a 3 until I see if they last and if they actually stop causing a mess all over.

So far I am hopeful though. Once I did get the second Cyan cartridge in it did print just fine

Halo effect...crazy. Third attempt with three different vendors...I thought this one would be different, as it advertised, but it is clear, that the phone is the issue!

That's three in a row, and now I REALLY wonder what I'm now going to do.

More Than Once, A Chasing the Dream Novel, Elizabeth Briggs

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Romance, NA

I loved the first and third books in this series, but the second, Hector and Tara, ( Andrew's Ex) didn't quite make it for me and I feel the same kind of way about this book. Its a good story, but I was hoping for a great one as with the first and third books...

We knew a bit about Becca from earlier reads, but this time we see her POV and shes a kind of lost, troubled girl, unsure of what she wants to do, lost without her music and it just looks like shes always been struggling with a fierce need for approval. Sadly her past has made her parents see her in a jaundiced way, what they want her to be and what she needs to be isn't going to happen, but they cant see it and shes breaking her spirit trying to fit what they want. I so felt for her and yet previously Id just dismissed her as a flake....
Then along comes Andrew, Taras ex and the spark they had months ago at the Comic Con is still there. He doesnt want to risk his heart again though, doesnt want another relationship. Becca is still trying hard to prove herself to her family, and her latest man, the one she hoped would help her with that, has just dumped herjust hoursbefore hes finally going to meet them. Becca knows that shell be held to blame once more even though she couldn't do anything about it, so she comes up with her scheme to substitute Andrew for him. But oh what a tangled web.... etc. and of course it all falls apart just at the wrong time. Somehow though Andrew and Becca have one date, then another, and lots and lots of hot, dirty and sensual sex but declare themselves just friends. Who are they kidding?? Becca can feel that creeping sensation that maybe, just maybe, Andrew means more to her but is he over his ex? Thenthrow in an invite to her to re-joining the band for just one show, and a chance meeting between Andrew and Tara and once more everything goes to pot.

Its got all the elements I love but somehow I never quiet felt the drama, the emotion, the worry that things really couldnt/wouldnt go right for them. Maybe after thefun anddramasof earlier books I just set my expectation too high? I don't know, its just that though it was a good read I needed a bit more. Not everyone wants that though and of course for many many readers this will be perfect as it is. Horses for courses and all that.....

Stars: Three, a good read but just notas dramatic and emotional as I wanted.
