This product is true to size, I bought a size six and that's exactly what was shipped to me.  I will say though, it's a bit smaller than what the photos advertise.

The prayer is written write and it stays true all the way, but height of ring that expected

I have no reason not to believe the story. It sounds very true to me. Well worth the read even if it does  ot tie into the conjouring (maybe for copy rights reasons?!). I would have liked to have actually heard more about what happened when Ed and Laurraine showed up. I was left a bit wanting in the end. You can also tell that it was not written by a professional writer, though the story in and off itself actually really deserves 5 stars! I for one would like to see a second book to tell the story of Ed and Laurraine's involment - I mean 'All hell breaks loose", that is just not fair to the rreader! Give me the details baby!

This book, like all of Shirley's, is fast paced, exciting and hard to put down. She shares her spiritual insights on herself, delving into pastlife connections brought up while walking the notorious El Camino along with  fellow travellers also making the pilgrimage. My one problem with the book  is that it relies heavily on Shirley's dreams she had while on her trek.  They are vivid and detailed, dreams that I am sure most of the readers  cannot relate to, as I doubt if most people remember their dreams in such a  glorious, exacting manner. Therein the validity of the book lies, are they  spectacular "real" dreams induced by a spiritual state while  walking the Camino, or are they, simply, dreams?

Historically accurate; however, my one issue is (and I am not a prude) the constant/overdone explicit sexual episodes.  Repeatedly!!  I do not need this overdose in a historical novel.  But, the book, as did Vol 1, kept me glued to my Kindle!!

Ultimately I believe the book is worth the read and the theory is fantastic. Though only recently implemented in our household, so far so good. My only complaints are the pages upon pages of selling the theory, citing every example imaginable, as well as religion being brought into it. We all have our own beliefs about God and religion...a proposed disciplinary tactic really does not need to incorporate that when selling to the masses. Respect for all mankind,living beings and our earth would suffice just fine! Just my feelings.

This is another fine and heroic attempt by the author to explain "A Theory of Everything," at least
on a physical and theoretical plane. But and yet it seems to me we are a long ways from figuring out the
hows and whys and wherefores of such tremendously important areas of Life and Reality as "the nature of consciousness", and the frankly semi-mystical/metaphysics of thought, love, will, creativity, and the actual origins of the almost mind-boggling diversity and complexities of life! Yet by all means: plunge on and press on all ye scientists and theoretical cosmologists ! You are surely among the great explorers of Truth and Reality. ... but please: never ever neglect the vastly important areas of ethics, morality, GOD, Right & Wrong. - for without this as a foundation beneath it all: we will soon find humanity floundering in a world of our own making that is cold, amoral, and even ruthless at its core. - just a little food for thought after contemplating the elegance [and dangers] of "seeing the universe from a strictly theoretical and mathematical and scientific perspective."

and it's true, every word of it!  a pure ramble of beatific prose poetry, poured forth undiluted by yet another madman searching for truth and beauty along the road of life... of course!  of course!  this i get!  what I DON'T  get is why everyone thinks Holden is a phony.  That judgement is  external/societal, and therefore phony itself!  The whole point is that  Holden ISN'T a phony.  He thinks for himself instead of bending to  society's will at every turn.  Whether he gets it "right" or not  just isn't the point!  He's honest about what he sees, true to himself and  seeking truth and beauty in life, whereas most everyone around him has  given up on it to some greater or lesser degree.  Some entirely.  Holden  simply couldn't *be* less phony!  He's REAL and honest and genuine in his  intentions, regardless of how misguided they might or might not be.

As a Detective, I find this book to be an amazing work of investigative literature. It sheds new light on who may have killed Laci and Conner, the motives for the crime, and the facts behind the Conspiracy. But the reader is urged to order the Enhanced Version in order to get all of the details which may be omitted from the abbreviated initial printing. Then many of the questions that the public has been pondering will be answered, eg:Where is the Chiropractor father of Amber's second illegitamate offspring? What is his relatonship, if any, to Scott Peterson?What did Jacky and Lee know? And when did they know it? Does Jacky prefer Amber, and why?Did Amber really have a breast enhancement? Why? When did this take place, and where? How much did it cost, who paid for it, and was the Chiropractor involved?Who is Janet? Did she have a baby, and is it Scotts? Where are the photographs of Janet? What did Janet know of Laci?Did Amber and Scott meet in a motel room after it became public that there was an affair? Was this motel room in Fresno, and what happened there?Who is the Chiropractor dating now, and is she also having his baby? Where did this Chiropractor do his undergraduate studies? What is the amount of his child support payment to Amber?What are the facts as reported in the Tabloid media about Scott having an oral homosexual encounter in the County facility? Did this occur, and was Scott an active, willing participant, or was he acting out of fear from the threats of a big, strong, beefy, handsome bully? Do any gay encounters continue? Why?Is Amber pregnant with yet another illegimate child, and if so, who might the father be this time?Yes, these are the important topics that a reader should expect to find in the new, enhanced, updated version of Amber's exciting new expose into the "Trial of the Year". I believe it's available to the public, but I'm not certain. I at least hope that it has been written. If not, check the Tabloid section at your local Supermarket. God Bless, and Happy 2005 New Year!******************

... it's what you do know that ain't so!
I've been seeing conflicting accounts of scientific evidence for psi
for years and years and really was of the mind that there was *some*
evidence but a lot of sloppy work, etc., etc.
Well, Dr. Radin takes us through meta-analyses of *all* the 100 years' of
studies out there involving psi and the mathematical odds against chance or error producing the results instead of real psi effects. Which are, surprisingly,
very long indeed: the reality of psi has apparently been established for
some time now, but I certainly haven't seen much mention of this in anything
else I read!
The author goes on to give background on why this is so: perceptual blinders that everyone carries, making the world as perceived fit into one's internal mental model. And when your mental model is regular materialist science and
you have your Phd. in RMS and are on record over and over saying psi is bunk, well, it's hard to backtrack from that position.
Great book!

We're all so busy living life that we rarely make the connection that we are a small part of a bigger picture that is constantly changing, faster than ever I must say ... I have to confess that my thinking and value system about things such as trust and faith and the golden rule came up against the harsh realities of modern life ... A reality that demands we adjust, readjust, and keep our wits about us or get run over ... Maybe that was always true but it happens faster now. The known incompetence, greed, and corruption that appear to permeate our most revered and trusted financial institutions, corporations and the elected officials that seem unwilling to take it on in any meaningful way. Maybe that was also always true but not like today. New business models that place profit above all and think nothing of destroying the financial stability and security of the middle class for the bottom line ... Another reality that was probably always true ... I do worry about one thing ... has our government suddenly become so large and non-responsive to the people that we can't do anything about anything? Or have the people become so disconnected from a sense of responsibility for the republic that we to fail to assume responsibility for our roll in electing competent people ... As Tip O'Neil said many years ago, "All politics is local ..." This book, to me, is a look at our nation through the lives of some of its people ... much of it is not pretty ... but hope and promise remain ... it must.

things are written in this book like they are facts when they are totally suppositions.  It's not that they are not POSSIBLE but they simply are not things that one can state as fact.  There are many possibilities in this universe and many are just as likely as this person's theories.  but this person writes like this is the only truth...

I have a hard time believing that the events that unfolded in this book are all entirely true.  I think the author took some liberties for the sake of spicing up the tale.  I don't know, but I'm not convinced that it was all true.

....though I wonder now if all the history presented is actually the truth!  That Livia, Augustus's wife, is presented as just totally evil and manipulative.  Could she have been that single-minded?  I think, if true, it points to an identifiable psychological problem!

The videos are a treat to use--don't have to wait for that damn "ROOT MENU" on DVDs to start watching the movie.  Sometimes old technology is nice to use.

I've got to read my Gibbon's "Roman Empire", though how a monkey could write a history of Rome I don't know....

From the fudged version of Claudette to Less Than Zero's closing credits Life Fades Away, this set has everything.

Unfortunately, 'everything' includes a distracting audio defect on most of the older tracks. You may call it hiss, white noise, whatever, it's loud enough to distract from Roy's amazing voice. If you have at least a basic equalizer, you'll want to knock out 8 kHz to fully appreciate a lot of these songs.

Otherwise... no regrets with this set, go for it.

why are some of you people letting him off so easy (ie, "so what if he changed a few details...")? you seem to be missing the whole point. the book is only compelling if it is *true*. if it is not true, and he didn't really do time, didn't kick an extreme, life-threatening crack habit by very unconventional means... if he's not this badass he made up and is really just a spoiled frat boy with a few DUIs and a booze and coke problem.. then the story has no power!

further, he is from my wife's hometown. he went to school with my sister-in-law. there are giant inaccuracies, and misappropriation of another family's tragedy (namely that he had anything to do with the death and aftermath of the girl[s] who died in the train accident). to me, it says that what he has currently admitted to falsifying is likely just the tip of the iceberg: was there really a leonard and were they really friends? was there a lilly and did she really die just hours before he could get to her? if not, again, the story has no power.

if we could just make up fantastical stuff and call it true/memoir/non-fiction... then why don't we all write stories about how we can fly, just by flapping. or cure cancer by touching people, "i swear i can do it, i'm just not gonna show you cuz i don't feel like i want people probing my life anymore... even though i pubilshed a frigging memoir!"

please do not let self-aggrandizing, crap-talking liars off this easily. sickens me to think he profited off his BS. and profited off me. i bought AMLP and MFL. finished AMLP just a day before this broke. will NOT be reading MFL - ever. it has no truth or power anymore - whatsoever.

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?"
