] | The first unit crapped out after a few months. The replacement unit arrived with instructions for registration that simply don't work. They send you to a URL to fill out an "Installer's Dashboard". There is no way to get to that site using their instructions or any other possible combinations. So the new unit is now in and has found all 27 microinverters and is reading them. But when I log in, my system is still looking for the old unit, and there is absolutely no way for me to put in the serial number of the new unit. Just sloppy, poorly thought-through customer literature and product management. I sent a message to support and they acknowledged receipt. If they fix this in 48 hours, I'll amend this review.

Also, how can you forget that these drinks are just packed with tons antioxidants.On the other hand, my only tiny complaint would be that they are a little pricey. Our local Wawa store has them for $1.99 regardless of the flavor. Which is why I bought this flavor with my Amazon gift card. Wawa seems to sell them and the rock bottom price.

My daughter is 18 months & her Binkie Bungees are still holding on strong & still look brand new! I've had NO problems with rust on the metal clip as one reviewer mentioned & I've ran my two Binkie Bungees (in a lingerie bag) through the washing machine numerous times over the last year & a half. I also love how the Binkie Bungee looks. It matches so many of my daughter's outfits including special occasion dresses for many weddings we attended last summer. Also the metal clip has not ruined any of her clothes. I did also like the Haba Pacifier Clip at first but after 3 months the metal clip would not stay clipped & I'd find my daughter chewing on the metal clip...not safe at all & I filed a complaint with Haba. I'm glad this has NOT been an issue at all with the Binkie Bungee. To sum it up this is a beautiful, well-made, safe pacifier clip. I can't wait to order more Z.

The local Texaco was broken into and They wanted to know if my dad wanted free tiers for his truk all the cops took them before they called the owner. 2nd witness was my brother in law giveing me drugs a hunk of hash the size of a brick. ( you know the red ones you build building with ) He had much drugs in his home even herion... No I was never a fan of the good old boys. I knew better. What I have wittnessed over the years would turn most peoples stomach. I am a bleading heart liberal who believes in health care for everyone & no one should go hungrey in the USA. I also feel drugs should be leagal and a man's Or Woman's home is there sacrid ground and everyone should carry a gun. The best protection of our Rights is an armed people.. I also believe in the sermon on the Mt by our lord Christ.. I believe that we do need police however they should have a deep understanding of the constitution and take a vow to protect it and serve the community not there own advancment.. Sure they love to bust junkies they do not fight back.. Easey babysitting job that cost america 30 grand per year per addict. If we hate them so much then let them kill themselfs with the drugs. Or let them live and let live.. There are true dangers like Osama BinLadin and protecting our borders and JOBS... We need to arest violent people not non-violent drug addicts.

They are not out to make any statement or to teach any truths. However you can set the kid in frount of the tv and not worry about a thing. You can go do the laundry and vac without a care in the world. Your child is not in any danger of any negative imput here.. I first saw Hammy on "The Animal chanle" at 5:00 am. I soon put it on VHS for the kids in the AM before School or daycare. I did not have to worry about what they were watching. No explenations of why we have bombed a Country or any other subject I just feel they do not have to worry about this young. Now this is comming from a 41 year old woman who loves Adult swim on Sunday night. ( Family Guy ) ( robot chiken) and all the adult crap that intails. One of the kid shows I hate is "Higgly Town Hero's". My reason: The statment, " if you work hard like I do you can be a hero just like me.." Well I do not want my child to learn the only value he or she has is through work. I do love the Koala Brothers. Why because the emphasis is on helping people. What a great place the world would be if everyone just helped each other. Not working for your identity. America is full of over worked unhappy people, why raise the next generation with our problems. Europe has it RIGHT work what you need and LIVE DEEPLY. There is more to life than Work. Most people in America HATE there jobs. They work for money not happyness. I believe there is enough brain washing going on every day throught the T.V. and we do not even realize it is going on. it is so well coverd in the entertaiment. No, I do not care if Hammy is not makeing any point and is a little happy story my kids will learn nothing from. As long as they get enjoyment form the storys. Watch it for yourself do not let others tell you what you should do. Rember this is for Children age 2 to 5 but my 7 year old loves it too... | 4 | Hammy is great for kids & kids at heart | 1,142,294,400 | 03 14, 2006 |

] | The price of this bluray was good when it actually showed scenes of Glacier Park. Here is the problem: I estimate about ten minutes total were spent looking at humans' faces as they told about the park. One woman was actually beautiful to look at but I would have rather have them do voice-overs while describing the park. You will see some of the men and women shown about four or five times on screen and while they do give interesting information about Glacier, we not even seeing the park--in fact, one guy is even inside a building and could have been almost anywhere.DO NOT BUY THIS BLU-RAY TO SEE HUMANS' MUGS--LOOK FOR ANOTHER ONE ABOUT GLACIER WHERE MORE SCENES ARE OF THE PARK.Again, outdoor scenes are wonderful but there are not enough of them! | 2 | Wanted to see the park--NOT humans' faces | 1,379,980,800 | 09 24, 2013 |

] | This movie is a prime example of why the movies from the golden age of Hollywood are so good. If you love a movie where one of the primary characters says "F" in almost every sentence, is rude to everybody--including her supervisor on the job (try that in real life and see how long you are employed), and is morbidly obese then you will adore this movie. I admit I only went because Sandra was in it and came away feeling really disappointed. In a handful of places it was mildy funny but the contact grossness in every way of one character was a real turn-off. (Was this an attempt for the two women to be "Lauren and Heidi"? Better to watch the really old Laurel and Hardy if you want a good laugh. There used to be something called a script where the writer actually had to write funny lines and not simply fill a script with a constant "F". We are living in a sad world, if this truly passes as hilarious comedy. Sandra Bullock could have made a better choice of movie. | 1 | PROFANE, RUDE, OBESE | 1,382,400,000 | 10 22, 2013 |

No, it's not easy to understand and I wouldn't recommend it for "everyday" viewing, since it can be a bit depressing.I was thoroughly, ahem, upset when I discovered that the entire movie is one big chapter on the DVD edition. Now, one of the main benefits of dvds; aside from the enhanced audio/visual, is the ability to go to a portion of the movie at the click of a button. Though I find it hard to imagine chapters titled "Blue Key on Table" or "Money in the Bag," I don't think this movie is *above* something practical like creating some sort of chapter division.My main complaint with this? If I accidentally hit the chapter button on my remote I gotta fast forward through the movie to get to the spot I was at. This gets very annoying if it happens more than once.Anyway, the DVD is still the only format I'd buy, just to thoroughly enjoy the music. Of course, you could buy the soundtrack for that.

When i sat down to watch it with her I was not expecting to be so entertained but i ended up not wanting to turn it off. Daniel Radcliffe is perfectly cast and carries his weight early in the story. It is a moving tale which reinforces many valuable moral lessons on such topics as friendship love family. A friend borrowed it to show her 8 year old daughter who is a huge Harry potter fan. She is a somewhat spoiled only child. After the movie she went and kissed her mom. It seemed to open her eyes to how fortunate she is for having two parents that love her. That's the kind of powerful impact it has on the viewer David Copperfield is such a pure and decent child who shows such remarkable resilience in the face of real life's cruelty. He has bright spots on his journey through various characters that he meets even though each one of them struggles with their own flaws. It all comes together so beautifully at the end. Maggie Smith's performance is another reason to buy this version. Actually all the characters were well cast and believable. Needless to say I highly recommend this version. It's also a great value for the money. | 5 | Great interpretation of dickens captures the colorful characters and complex plot lines | 1,367,280,000 | 04 30, 2013 |

"Priority" is thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. It is a excellent combination of classical jazz with a smooth easy listening texutre. Imagine sitting outside with the stereo on, grilling food with friends, a cool breeze blowing, a glass of tea in hand then place Orbert's CD "Priority" on the stereo and the atmosphere is complete. The CD starts off with an upbeat tiltle song "Priority". The instrumentation is distinct and clear with Orbert on the trumpet. His talent is equal to Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. "Ask Me Nicely" is a relaxing song with great horn and piano parts. I love listening to this music with friends; a truly enjoyable experience. Another song that continues the theme is "Block Party", a very head moving, body groving song! Orbert Davis is a talented musician as well as gifted song writer; this CD is the evidence as well as the testimony to his character as a musician. Usually, when I purchase a CD there are a couple of songs I don't like, not with this CD. I must admit though, my favorite song is the remake of the Bill Withers "Ain't no Sunshine"--Love It, !!!!! Midnight in Bahia is very sultry sexy song and the Vocals of Kurt Elling are perfect. He is a talent also. This CD is worth the money if you are a established jazz fan or a new jazz fan.

Mark points out how society feels less concerned about throw-away people, i.e., prostitutes, alcoholics, drug users, etc., than it does about so-called "regular" people such as bank presidents or dentists or book pblishers. He also illustrates quite clearly how egos and territory comes into play during investigations, and how politics and the media can change the working environment of the police officer. Mark has probably made some mistakes in his life, as we all have, but more than makes up any shortcomings with his writing and investigative skills, and his obvious love of the beautiful Idaho-Washington area.

It is a 54-foot long and 45-foot wide (sails only - no power) wooden/bamboo junk with the same specs as built over 600 years ago. The 10-person volunteer crew is a mixed bag of Chinese and Americans, and they are convinced that they have preserved the sailing traditions and proven that the junks could have done what was stated in 1421.

It required courage and a daredevil, adventuresome soul, and support by a hearty crew and the financiers. The book covers what happened along the voyage with frightening natives, sinking ships, sex and adventure, gold, mutiny and scurvy of course. On Mactan Island, Philippines today, there is a large statue dedicated to Lapu-Lapu, the local chief credited with killing Magellan and many of his crew (April 27, 1521). In Guam, the local Chamorro people were confused that Magelllan wouldn't let have whatever they wanted and they "removed" whatever they could, including a small boat, as theirs was a sharing society, but Magellan viewed them as thieves, and called the islands "The Islas de los Ladrones - the Islands of the Thieves." On September 8, 1522, only one ship returned home, the Victoria, with only 18 of the fleet's original crew. Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe set off years of political intrigue as to whom could lay claim to the Spice Islands. Magellan remains controversial even today, considered a tyrant, a traitor, a visionary and a hero by various biographers. But whatever the case, he and his crew circled the globe in the Sixteenth Century, and never fell off the edge of the Earth. | 5 | NOT HOLLYWOOD, REAL LIFE | 1,333,324,800 | 04 2, 2012 |

There's nothing new between 'boys and girls' but it's still intriguing and fun to read about it from the past. The research was excellent and I'm sure the author's family lost her many days to the archaives and museums. Imagine what the modern paparazzi could have done with Charles II or Henry VIII, or Lola Montez or Lady Castlemaine? The index was very helpful in keeping all the players straight. | 4 | TABLOIDS OF THE PAST | 1,216,512,000 | 07 20, 2008 |

] | This is story about Maria from Brazil who becomes a prostitute in Geneva after becoming broken-hearted and disappoointed about her first love. As a teenager, she dreamt of meeting her true love, getting married, having two children and living happily ever after in a house with an ocean view. But as the author explains, she runs off to Europe for fame and fortune and becomes a prostitute, working for 3-4 months, then returning to Brazil periodically to support her family and attempt to analyze her life. In her view, now somewhat jaded and defensive, everything leads up to the sex act, but on average all the money, efforts, seduction, merely results in eleven minutes of bodily pleasure. But then she meets a handsome young painter with whom she begins a hesitant journey of sex within the context of love. Though translated from Portuguese, the story in English flows beautifully. It's a wonderful, realistic, touching human story - read it - highly recommended, and you'll get to discover Coelho. | 5 | ELEVEN MINUTES, NOT ENOUGH FOR LOVE | 1,256,601,600 | 10 27, 2009 |

] | First, let me say that I have always admired Bernie for his straightforward talk, and enjoyed his experiences with CBS, HBO, etc. His Rogue's Galley includes many of the people today that are in the leftist arena and groupies, and starry-eyed people faithfully following Obama, even with the scandals. This book is dated back to 2003, but it is a good read to see who he listed as the screw-ups, and many of them are still working against America. A good book for perspective to offset the left mainstream media. | 4 | STILL IN THE HEADLINES AND LEADERSHIP ROLES | 1,370,908,800 | 06 11, 2013 |

] | Almost entitled this little review as 'colliding cultures,' i.e, western and islander, old and new, God in what form and whose description, mountain magicians vs. trained missionaries, etc. It is much much more than a travel memoir of a young man seeing things thru his father's eyes, and more than a religious experience, comparing ghosts and devils with modern Chrsitianity concepts. The author is a good reviewer and reports what he sees, and I really enjoyed his descriptions of people that he meets along the way. Islanders are as different and varied as you would meet in downtown LA, or in other island cultures, maybe just a few hundred miles away. Not all believe the same, and many have doubts and fears. An excellent book, especically for anyone that enjoys the Pacific Islands, and is brave enough to look into the unknown. | 4 | POWERFUL AND INTERESTING | 1,270,857,600 | 04 10, 2010 |

] | I really liked the book. I read it while flying back and forth to Japan, and found it delightful and easy reading. I enjoyed the travel portions, but really enjoyed this young woman going thru her life and trying to find the right partner. She is done with booty calls and wants something more stable and permanent. I thought the ending was predictable but comforting and satisfying nonetheless. A fun and recreational novel, and perfect for the road, or the airplane, as the case might be. She did what a writer should do - entertain, make me think, etc. | 4 | FUN TRAVEL READ | 1,194,307,200 | 11 6, 2007 |

] | With a few exceptions, John Ball never got the recognition he deserved for his fine, precise writing. I have read just about everything he has written, and he's right up there with the great writers. I also knew John when he was a reserve deputy sheriff and also working with the Pasadena Police, and when he was doing yoga and travelling. He was a good man and an enjoyable story teller. This little mystery is just another good book by John, as he takes you away to Kathmandu and other exotic settings with Investigator Virgil Tibbs. A good read while you're on the airplane or on the train, going to some exciting destination. Good work John, wherever you are in spirit! | 4 | GREAT MYSTERYWRITER | 1,216,080,000 | 07 15, 2008 |

] | I find dog stories usually inspirational and a credit to their masters. This story left me flat. Retrievers need room to roam about, and they are social and friendly critters. Marley's life was not usually like that. The Grogans should have taken dog obedience classes as well as a lot of lessons in general parenting. Thank goodness I didn't put out the twenty bucks to be irritated and wanting to give the Grogans some worthwhile tips in raising an animal. A dog-owner friend gave me the book to read - she enjoyed it totally. Dogs are a big responsibility and shouldn't be brought home on a whim. For all that, Grogan is a good writer and I enjoyed his work...maybe this one shouldn't have gone public. PS - I have been a dog-owner for many years. | 1 | DISAPPOINTMENT, TIMES FIVE | 1,214,352,000 | 06 25, 2008 |

] | A most intriguing story about the American writer and poet Stephen Crane, and his common-law wife Cora, and him writing his final book about Elliot, the painted boy. Stephen is dying of TB "consumption" and Cora is trying to find ways to keep him alive. The story has been related by others in review - suffice to say that Crane takes us to the lower depths of the seedy sexual world, and also relates how the banker is about to give up his family and position by loving the painted boy, also ill. The writing is excellent and the story flows nicely. Hotel de Cream was a famous bordello in Florida managed by Cora, the proprietress, and his primary care giver at the end. The 1890's were likely interesting times in New York. | 4 | PAINTED BOY AND THE BANKER | 1,326,067,200 | 01 9, 2012 |

] | If you enjoy baseball, stats and star players, you will love this book. The author did a great, balanced job in relating the real 'Mickey" to the readers. It's always sad to watch stars, CEO's, show biz folks, etc., who finish up their careers and have no where to go, while the world waits for them and all they have to do is open up their minds and spirits...and stay away from drugs, alcohol, and people who feed off of them like serial predators. Mickey mistreated women, especially his wife and their children, even his mistresses, and somehow his masculinity got warped into extra-marital affairs (cheated on his mistresses with many one-night stands) and other negative behaviors. When he was drinking, he was particularly offensive and he got away with it because he was 'The Mick" and those around him enabled this boarish behavior and covered for his terrible misdeeds, and like most drunks, he used the excuse that he couldn't remember. His business ventures were not well-planned and of course, his health went from bad to worse, and then eventually death. The bottom line is that he was a champion ball player but lacked depth and meaning as a human being. He never grew up! | 5 | THE LAST/LOST BOY - 'THE MICK' | 1,353,801,600 | 11 25, 2012 |

] | The story is okay, written in a flowing, entertaining manner, but is the age-old tale of a woman selling her body and soul for a chance at stardom and a shot at money and jewels. It would be likely boring to read but I would like Karrine to get her act together, grow-up, and take care of her son. He is watching her every move and there may well be another generation that belays hard work and study, and tries for the shallow life of fancy cars and expensive watches, and hip-hop music and gold chains. I sincerely hope she can escape the sordid life without AIDS and a life-threatening drug habit. After reading her book, I would hate to see a small piece in an entertainment magazine about an unidentified, unknown adult female found dead in an alley after being thrown out like garbage from a Mercedes limo. I trust that she will stay true to herself and her son. | 3 | TRASHY BUT REDEEMABLE | 1,313,625,600 | 08 18, 2011 |

] | A fine collection of short stories covering everyday lives and domestic relationships. I read this one on a road trip through Arizona and enjoyed it immensely. I had also read "High Tide in Tucson" which in turn lead me back to Barbara. I especially enjoyed the stories "Rose-Johnny," and "Quality Time." Barbara writes well and I believe, right from the heart. Pick this one up and roll through the smooth characterizations. | 4 | HUMAN NATURE | 1,348,444,800 | 09 24, 2012 |

] | This is my first book with Barbara, but it won't be my last. This is a very talented writer with a strong command of vocabulary, and when she talks about the desert coming alive, or the pigs eating her flower and plants, it's like taking a photograph and placing you right in the scene. Her essay called "The Muscle Mystique" was one of the best I've ever read about the gym experience - fun and thought-provoking. One of the great lines, "My inspiration down at the health club was a woman firefighter who could have knocked down my garden gate with a karate chop..."; and there's plenty more just as descriptive. | 5 | EXCITING, ENTERTAINING ESSAYS | 1,347,148,800 | 09 9, 2012 |

] | Peter did what most of us hiker types have thought about doing - just packing up and moving down the road. But the mortgages and maintaining a career always slowed us down, along with girl friends and wives who are not too interested in wandering into unknown and sometimes dangerous areas. They can handle different beds and climates, and even snakes and bugs, but safety is always a big factor while traveling and Peter managed to survive in some pretty tough spots. In some ways, I was very envious of Peter but conversely I do enjoy a good meal and clean bed, behind locked doors. I enjoyed his thoughts and insights - a good read! | 4 | REMARKABLE JOURNEY | 1,352,764,800 | 11 13, 2012 |

] | The Reef Girl is an exciting daring tale from one of America's great writers. The characters are believable, the setting is authentic, and the romance/adventure is fun and dramatic. Some of the dialogue is dated but the feeling is still there, and I can't help but think that Zane's wife Dolly, being an English major, had a lot of do with editing and building the vocabulary past a standard western story. It is well worth buying and reading. Being an islander (Saipan), I enjoyed it and wholeheartedly passed it on to prolific, but precise fellow readers. Well done Zane, wherever you are! | 5 | Captures the Feeling of the Islands | 1,214,179,200 | 06 23, 2008 |
