LAST RALLY - OK BUT DON'T GET TOO EXCITED
352987
Mr Baxter has been putting out a few books over the last few years. The subject of the battles on the eastern front from January 1945 until the end of the war has been, well up to now, a neglected field of study of the war. There is an increasing number of books being or about to be released covering this time period. While the german army fought hard on the western front until its collapse in late March 45, the germans fought even harder in the east, right up to the last day of the war. It was a battle, literally to save german civilan lives and territory. The germans knew if they lost, the results would be devestating and they were.

Mr Baxter offers a brief text. It's not particulary detailed but enough to whet the appetite for the time period. You may find you want more information but you will have to look elsewhere. This is not an indepth analysis of the battles but it's not meant to be. It's the photos people are after (generally!) Most are good quality but the vast majority are photos taken by soldiers themselves and vary in quality and interest. If you're interested in seeing german soldiers in dugouts or gathered around their artillery/pak/flak/mortar then you will see an abundance. Action photos? no. PK photos? A few scattered through the book but I believe have been seen before. A photo of 2 captured t34/85 with SS crew is a high light but I believe this was taken around Warsaw Aug/Sept 44.

I can only assume Mr Baxter is a collector of photos, which is a great thing. He then gathers them together and writes a book about it. Nothing wrong with that of course.

Overall this is a basic overview of the campaign. The photos may only be an interest to a few and whether the majority were taken during this time is open to conjecture. It may have been more appropriate to package the book as a collection personal photos of german soldiers as a times the photos don't really match what is happening in the text. But if you're an Ostfront fan  you may want it just for you're collection, just don't get too excited.

a little too racy for the crowd i was planning to play with.  i personally think it would be fun, but don't think my friends would feel the same.  too bad it's going back.

Nothing special here.  It is certainly better than the last few Queensryche efforts, but very middle of the road.  If you are a super fan, you will give it 5 stars, but I don't see this in the league of Operation Mindcrime which is a true 5 star recording.

Cool game.  It isn't over till it's over.  A big lead can get stalled and anyone can come from behind to win.  Enjoy it.

The movie is interesting and well acted, but I think it was just hyped a little too much for us.  We enjoyed the movie, but wouldn't recommend it other than to start a conversation about what happened to the economy, how accurate is the film, and has anything really changed.  But it's not a deep engaging drama nor a highly entertaining comedy. It's somewhere in the middle of both. It's an acceptable film worth viewing for the information and for a few excellent performances.  But, in general, we were rather bored through much of it, and not because the numbers talk eclipsed our understanding, but just because it wasn't as engaging for us as many had found it.  Personally, I'd rather watch documentaries and interviews on the subject for entertainment rather than watch this film.

Communicating in Groups was in great shape. There was minor highlighting in it but that was it. And what was highlighted was mostly words that were already bolded so it made no difference to me.

Not bad, but not great.  A middle of the road game for us.  Not a game for longevity, that's for sure.  Once you get going, it gets better, but about 50% of our group didn't really like it.  Everyone has to be pretty creative, or it can be boring.  Would recommend if you have a lot of open minded/ creative people in your group.

Every year we get the latest Portfolio.  This one disappointed a little.  I did like the 'awareness' photos that highlighted issues ranging from animal cruelty from poaching to global warming.  The remainder of the winners this year, while all were exceptional compared to my photos (I'm not very good), I was not in agreement with who won and the breadth of creatively was just not there this year.  Perhaps more entries and more to be expected next year?

I didn't hate it but I didn't really like it all that well either. The best description for it is meh. All the other reviews describe how disappointed that it isn't the last book my disappointment is how abrupt it ended. It's like the author just got bored and decided I think I'll end it here. There isn't a cliffhanger there isn't even something to lead you into what the next book might be about. Yes, she left a lot of questions unanswered but that's different than just up and ending the story. So overall the book as a whole isn't bad. My complaint is with how it ended

Well, not quite as good as hoped.  Got mine around 2 weeks ago.  It doesn't hold a charge for more than 15 minutes and continually shuts down if running only on the battery.  This means I have to keep it plugged in while I'm driving but even with that, it will turn off a few times before it stays on continually.  But not charging and repetitively turning on is a big deal.  Instructions were ok...  but just ok.  No frills.
Quality of picture is very good.  Sound is not so good.  This morning the suction cup quit working and the least bump sent it down into the floorboards.  I'm sure I can get something from a hobby shop or hardware store and replace the suction cup.
If you want a dashcam just to try one out and see what they can do, then the price is right on this one and it has some features that look cool.  I've not been able to use them due to the charging issue.  Overall I've enjoyed it but have gotten tired of having to "mother it" all the time.

I purchased this particular brand and model based on the reviews, but there's nothing really special about this SSD. It's ok. It's more hype than anything. I don't understand why everyone thinks it's the next best thing since sliced bread. My computer is not that much faster than before. And I did a new clean install of my operating system so it wasn't a case of a corrupt OS that I just cloned onto the SSD. My words of wisdom regarding this product: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE, IT'S LIKE EVERY OTHER SSD!

I personally don't feel like this was any different than some of the other books. It is basically like don't give up, think about what you want to do, and create a schedule to apply for jobs. There wasn't many examples or motivational quotes. I want someone who is going to appeal to my situation. I have been fired from my last three jobs. I get that there must be something I am doing wrong here but I still feel like I gave my loyalty to the companies and in return get fired. I feel completely worthless. Some of the others I read were somewhat helpful they gave examples and ways to try to stay motivated. The best thing is this is a quick read.

Mr. Eker may be teaching valuable principles, but I'm always turned off to high energy sales pitches.  The same thing over and over and waiting for everyone to cheer right on que.  I also was expecting an audio book, not a live recording of a speech, so I don't feel like I got my money's worth at all.

It's nice enough, but this Noteworthy group doesn't seem as polished as the current group -  I was hoping it would be on par with their version of "Amazing Grace" (video on youtube and only available for purchase on iTunes, not on any CDs).  It's also a little short at 23 minutes;  the price does reflect that though.

Still good but not great.  One of top 10 episodes all time in this season with the 90 min episode.  (Won't ruin).  But evying else was rated  5 or below.
