Decent, but not 100% truthful!

Decent glasses, but a little price fro what they are. Sturdy, but not elegant.
Buyer beware: They advertise that these are 20 oz glasses...NOT! They hold 16 oz.

This is a very interesting book, well worth reading. However, I didn't believe all of it. I also don't believe the official story. Read it and think for yourself!

Not the most accurate book in the world, but no book is perfectly accurate (except the bible) ;)

It contains fascinating side-lights upon the sub-Roman period in British history.  There are obviously false stories about miracles mixed up with some verifiable facts, such as an eclipse of the sun that took place on May third, 664 at 4 o, clock in the afternoon.
 Bede (like many religious teachers today) worried a lot about men's hair styles.  British (i.e. Welsh) and Irish Christians had the wrong kind of haircut. He was also very concerned about the correct date of Easter, but he casually mentions an abbess who wanted to pass along the abbacy of her convent to her daughter. Men and women both lived in virginity in the monastery of Coldingham.  The notes by McClure and Collins do not comment on these matters.
The translation is the Bernard Colgrave one.  If you want a Latin text I think you have to get the Loeb edition - I couldn't find one on Project Gutenburg.

Why do leftists keep discrediting themselves by lying?
First of all, Prof Patai was herself a Women's Studies prof
(along with literature) at the Indiana University; she had no "need" to take such a clase since she tought them!
Second, while it is true that when Daphne Patai was developing the idea for this book, she posted a message about it on an academic women's studies board, it is NOT true that
every single respondent replied that they were unaware of any such broad-based anti-male sentiment. Patai spoke at my university and stated precisely the opposite!
Better still, read this book and decide for yourself if its sources lack authenticity.

Historically, it's not totally accurate (but hey, it's fiction), and it is borderline poorly written.  But if you can get past the inaccuracies, it's not a total waste of time.  Especially because the book is only five dollars (including 2 day shipping)-they could not, in good conscience, charge more for something like this.

While the good things I can say about this book are limited, I cannot say enough good things about free two-day shipping!

I disagree with the one poster's assertion that it offers "few facts".  For a work of fiction, it actually contains quite a number of facts (though I understand the quote often attributed to Pope Leo X both in this book and elsewhere is misattributed).

If you're a gung-ho, believe it all (or most) Christian, you wouldn't like this kind of book anyway ... and could have guessed that you wouldn't by reading the description of the book.

Dr. boyd's book does a good job dealing with misinformation about Christian beleifs.. In fact many things like people choosing hell on their own and the literary genres have been  spelled out for decades, if not longer.
His strongest point isthe discussion of salvation through Christ and the salvation of non-beleivers, that something that needs to be repeated until everyone gets it
The limitations are basically twofold:
He says he had a relationship with Jesus and then turned to the Bible--so in effect, he's using the bible to support what he already beleives. Any religious person of any belief, Christan, Muslim, Jewish, etc. would do the same, so that argument isn't going to help convert those who beleive in other religions.
The other problem: he beleives in jesus but says we can ignore anything Jesus says except I am the Way, e.g. turn the other cheek,because we can't possible live up to what jesus is asking! That's like saying, honey I love you but I'm going to ignore what you say! He seems to have forgotten "nothing is impossible with God."

For the record, I was ordained in 1975, and am still active in  ministry.

Michael Moore is not perfect.  He didn't graduate from college.  He's overweight.  There are more.  Nevertheless, he succeeded in providing information where others have failed.  Sometimes he may have been wrong (though with all of the right-wingers picking over his work, you'd think we'd have learned about a couple of his errors by now) and sometimes he may have sensationalized.

Now along comes a book to kill the messenger.  While the book doesn't really tell outright lies (I suppose it does in places, but let's just pretend it doesn't), it also doesn't really indict Moore as the authors seem to think they did.  Rather, using the techniques that they accuse Moore of using (e.g., leaving out important details or twisting the story to make it more sensational), it seeks to paint Moore in an unflattering light.  I suppose it kind of succeeds, though I'm left wondering why it is so important for a couple of educated men (a lawyer no less!) to attack a guy who isn't even very well educated and, before his successful film-making debut, wasn't what you would call influential.  Isn't there something more important to write about like, say, the stuff that Michael Moore is writing about?  It makes you wonder if maybe these guys have an underlying motive.  My guess is they want to take the money of the Moore-haters.  (Don't worry, I didn't buy this book; I borrowed it.)

An amusing and informative read, but here and again Harari comfortably commits contradictions and purports falsehoods. I found those to be blatant, though, so I suspect a reasonably aware person won't be deceived by them.

We started trying to conceive last month and I used a few of these to test before I got my period.  The tests were negative, and it was true that I wasn't pregnant.  So, that's the way they're supposed to work, and they did work.

It's nice that these are so cheap, and that they come with the cups.  As another reviewer mentioned, it's true that the Dixie cups get saturated with urine pretty quickly...but really, it's supposed to be disposable, isn't it?  You only actually need the cup for a few seconds.  So that's all right.

The result appears pretty quickly.  I don't really know what these look like when it's positive, and that makes every test exciting.  The dye starts at a certain part, and last month there was still a little bit of dye at the starting place, so I thought (ok, hoped) maybe maybe it was just a really light result?  No.  It wasn't.  So, I'm waiting for parallel lines actually in the area where the negative one is.  Is that what I'm supposed to be watching for?  Anyhow, I think this is a user problem, and not actually a problem with the tests.

Great for anyone who wants cheap, simple tests.

UPDATE: When they're positive they start out with just the faintest, faintest shadow of a line.  So, there were a couple days where I was pretty sure I could see a line and my husband still thought the tests were negative.  After a few days, my husband admitted he could see a very light line, although he was not convinced that such a light line meant it was positive.  So at that point we bought a digital test that said YES+ and then he was convinced. About a week after I would have missed my period I did another one of these tests just to see if it would be much darker and it was darker than the control line!

I don't love Joyce Meyer- I don't really trust her and I think she's one of those people that uses God for a profit... BUT she does make some great points.

Some of her books have really helped me. So I take what I recognize as truth and reject the rest. I suggest you do that same. TEST EVERYTHING. If it doesn't line up with the Bible, then forget it. If it does, great, maybe it'll help you. :)

Let me get this out of the way:  the press photos and images on the box for this monitor are false advertising.  Plain and simple.  The image does not go all the way out to the edge of the screen as they would have you believe.  If you want to see what this monitor actually looks like, take a look at this image:  [...]

As you can see, there is a very real, very noticeable half-inch black border around the image on the left, right, and top.

So now that we got that out of the way, taking the monitor by what it does bring, it's a decent monitor for the price.  Decent is the key word.  The colors are a bit off, but nothing especially distracting, though it does take heavy calibration to get the colors close to ideal.  It's about the quality I would expect for a $150 monitor.  It's thin, light weight, easy to adjust the viewing angles.  For the price, you're not going to get much better, I just wish they didn't have to resort to false advertising to sell their product.

There are a bunch of conspiracy theories in this short work and Meghan Hansen sure has a downer on George Bush. Whereas it made interesting reading I was a little concerned about someone citing the BBC and American newspapers as reliable sources. Ms Hansen POV is overtly anti-Republican, which is fair enough, but questions her impartiality. It's an hypothesis reminiscent of Sir Ranulph Fiennes', 'The Feather Men', where many assumptions are made, but as for actual proof...well..?
But whether you are convinced that Meghan's account is genuine or not is immaterial, because her underlying theme is to question things you are told by governments  or anyone else for that matter and don't sit back lazily accepting dubious media reports. If you're concerned or have doubts and do your own digging until you find a satisfactory answer.

Not that it matters...I don't agree with everything in the book (mainly the opinions of the author), but mostly, which is more than I can say for almost everything else I've read.

The facts, however, stated in this book, are fairly accurate.  I've cross-referenced them with other sources.  Accuracy, to me, is of utmost importance, and this book delivers.

My disagreement lies in the author and her opinion with what to do with the information she's found.  She treats it with lackadaisical implementation while I lean more to passionate application.  Where she would say, "Maybe try this" or "Maybe try that," I would say, "What would Jesus do?"

A fair few home truths that we choose to ignore and many ideas that I hadnt really contemplated either. Yeah, we are a brainwashed country alright! Might be a bit rusty in places but it doesnt distract from the message which millions don't seem aware of! Once youve read it, give it to someone else to read too, especially if they're trading bitcoin!

While I enjoyed this short story, it had some farfetched items. These things made it a little harder to accept the story line. I don't really need a story to be believable, that is sometimes the point of a story. A way to escape reality and imagine.  However, being able to withdraw 500K dollars from an ATM and simply putting all that money in a wallet?? I know that is a minor detail, but it bothered me. Something so simple instilled doubt in the story. Thus not rendering it a 4 or 5 star read. Definitely worth the read though! I consider 3 stars to be average, good, just not great.
