Leaves more to be desired.

Meh. It's heavy for being only 20v...the tip should be smaller, so that it actually blows mulch and heavier stuff off the driveway/pavement. Battery literally maybe lasts 6-7 minutes on high. High is required because it doesn't blow off grass clippings or mulch without it.

I can see why people like this music - it's better than a lot of what's out there. But personally I think they need to introduce more players in their band, more instruments. The vocalist does not have enough in her arsenal to carry the outfit with just a piano and drums, and the eccentricity is sometimes forced and abraisive to the point of being annoying. There are good moments, which other reviewers are not shy of pointing out, but there are some that just make you want to slap the singer.

I like the extra couple inches which is very hard to come by. Another store carries them, but at a much higher price. The material is nice and silky soft. But they are going to have to bring production back to USA and our standards before I give it any more stars. There was just too much 'stuff' to pick off - loose ends, fluff inside, and gosh knows what that tiny stain is. Production standards just are not there, no matter how much they try to convince me. If I had to buy again, I'd pay a little more and get a cleaner product.

Dan Brown is reaching for his previous successes, and not quite making the grade.
As an example, his description of the architecture is wonderful but overly done and appears to be used as a means to fill the pages, not to inform the story.
In other words, meh

This is a book about a child recalling a past life and how it impacts this life and those around her.
The subject has always fascinatead me however, this book leaves too much to be desired.  I had trouble staying with it.  The author repeats herself way too much consequently giving the book a feel of a slow moving car you want to get out and push down a hill.  The mother character is weak, lost in the loneliness of the past and her affair with the married man that created Silvie.  Of course, he is no longer in the picture.  No surprises there.  All in all, with stronger characters, stepping up the pace and better descriptive writing on the location this could have been a better read. Enough said!

I like the usability of this, but but there are just too many moving parts. First, the cover is a pain to disassemble, so you'll be less inclined to clean it.

BUT, you have to clean it, because it has too many nooks and crannies for residue from flavored liquids to accumulate (e.g. coffee with or without milk, juices, sodas, etc.), leading to bad smell, poor taste, and just unsanitary conditions.

The result: you'll clean it less, and when you do clean it, you'll hate it because it's too much of a hassle.

Fit and finish leave a  lot to bee desired. Top  is slightly warped and aluminum table insert sits too low in cutout to allow smooth cut (there is 1/8'' inch or slightly more lip around the cutout.) Back and sides don't fit flush to each other, either, allowing a gap between the sides and back. There are only two not four drilled out pilot (countersunk) drilled on top to attach to sides. Door doesn't  fit flush so it does not close all the way--door hits side on right, resulting in door being left ajar. Now I have to jump through hoops to return, including disassembly and repackaging knocked down table.

I purchased it last year, the idea is good but the design leaves a lot to be desired. 1) very bulky and is not easy to hang needs two to hang and secure it.. 2) the seat is too noisy cannot be used in close quarters. 3) not easy to get into. I modified this stand to make it work for me. 1) I covered the open area back at the tree with plywood. 2) removed the seat and purchased a stool that is used in a blind, need one that is adjustable.  3) by removing the seat made it easier to get in and out, the cross brace was just in a bad place. 4) the seat cover is a nylon that can't be silenced.
  Once the stand was secured to the tree it was very stable, The stand does have a lot of room without the seat and brace that comes with it.

After the smash success of Vogue, Hanky Panky, its follow up peaked at number 10 on the chart. No bad for a song that is not what you might hear over the radio.
The tracks on this single leaves a lot to be desired. The remix is not that much different from the album version, with the music sounding a lot more polished. There is an edited version of the remix, and the song "More" from Dick Tracy. I would think that there would be more tracks than this....like in Keep It Together. Skip this single if you like, because you are not missing much. Unless, of course, you are a completist like me who buy virtually all of Madonna's releases.

These leave a little something to be desired if you don't quite have the goods to fill them out. The padding was a little lumpy, and they bunch together without the padding.

Not enough distant viewing, slightly disappointed.

Usually I like Carriger's writing, but in this story, I think she misses on finding a balance, with too much of the story taken up by sex and too little by plot. As I read, I began to wonder if this was mislabelled fantasy and should have been put in the erotica pile instead. There's an awful lot of very explicit gay sex, and not very much happens. I'd thought the appearance of the hoodied mage would propel it into some sort of cloak and dagger mystery, but no, all's easily resolved. Far too easily for as much time as Carriger spends hinting at the dire consequences of any meeting between Max and the Judge, and given all Max's angst and scars. I'm a child of abuse as well, and yet I found myself getting impatient with Max's treatment of Bryan and wishing he'd just get over himself already. Not sure if that's a fault in me, or in Carriger's writing of Max. In either case, taking some time away from describing their sex play and letting us see more of Max wouldn't have hurt though. . .

I wanted to like this more than I did. First, I should say the book seems well written and the fact that it is a collection of essays submitted by many writers/voices makes it a candidate for a very inclusive and multi-dimensional approach to (biblical) counseling. The operative word here, "seems." I still found the substance of the book very one-dimensional. I was hoping with a title that was so inclusive, Biblical Counseling and the Church, that the heart of the biblical approach would reflect many traditions and present the material with a far more ecumenical posture than what was presented. This is the primary reason I feel the book falls short of what it promotes.

While it is not specifically a negative, the approach toward biblical counseling in this model is primarily that of the evangelical fundamentalist-reformed traditions. Once again, not that this is specifically negative, but it removes a significant portion of the Christian-biblical tradition from the mix of authority that the book attempts to promote in its title.

I think the biggest problem that I have with the book is likely semantics. It blatantly describes itself as a book for counseling in the Church in its title, but fails to deliver that in its pages. It redefines what counseling is by (more or less) describing it as discipleship and enlisting the "priesthood of believers" to serve as the pastoral care providers within the church. It does, in fact, speak to the more clinical definitions of counseling, but that is a point that is largely missed in the book on the whole... or I missed it entirely.

I was expecting something more and was delivered something less. Perhaps this is my bad, but I feel I have been made victim of the classic bait and switch. I will state one last time, there are several good portions in the book and once I was able to get past my initial letdown, I was able to hang on to the good and see where I might be able to use it in my own ministry efforts. Still, the book falls far short of what it could be.

The reader leaves a lot to be desired. I would pull my hair out waiting for any point. His monotone voice, trying to inflect is rather sad, while his tempo makes you grind your teeth, or put you to sleep!

It has too much curve to it. Doesn't leave a good finish.

I felt as if the novel was not quite finished. Even if there are more parts, this first one left me feeling unfulfilled at best. Honestly, I am tired of reading one story broken up into several different part. Not only is it more expensive, but it is tedious and I end up losing patience and interest before the series is over.  Also, for being titled "The Fetish Queen", a pretty lofty title if I say so myself, the erotica in this novel was actually pretty vanilla and almost boring. If you are looking for a mindless guilty pleasure read, then this may be for you.

The book and its story of presentations just does NOT shine as it should.  VERY disappointing.  The cover and its artwork throughout the book takes you away but for the most part, leaves you wanting so much more.f
