Romantic Suspense - erotic romance, erotic


If I could rate this with a negative star I would. there wasn't much to the story just a lot of sex. I forced myself to finish it hoping it would get better, it never did. Then to make it worse, after you're invested in these charater and it looks like it will all work out, he cheats on her (with her mother). And that's how the book ends.!!! WORST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!! The Boss (Black Lace)

Sex taken to a not so great place. Clearly written for a UK audience, this book is much more gritty and gross (not sexy) than I expected it to be after reading the review. Don't judge this book by it's cover or you'll be sadly disappointed. - Erotic - Romantic Suspense - Erotic Romance'

Home Entertainment Projectors - 3d ready, projector


The qumi is an awsome little projector. I am currently using it to project an 80" picture in my bedroom and I have alot of ambient light and the picture still looks awsome. It is great that it has a bunch of connections and that vivitek includes a mini-hdmi to hdmi, a mini-hdmi to mini-hdmi and a vga connector. My only negative is that those cables are really short less than a foot. If you are looking for a projector I would get one of these right away. Vivitek Qumi Q2 300 Lumen WXGA HDMI 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector (Black)

Let's just say I have own an Optoma HD65, due to the lamp and power outages around here, I've opted for an LG HX300(G). I was able to live with it fine and dandy but wanted something around 720p instead of 1080p. I don't need 1080p to live since most of the stuff I watch are from Netflix or YouTube. 720p is enough for HD quality and everything else that I do.



Then I researched for more LED projectors and ran into LG HW300 and Qumi Q2. To be honest I would've gone with the LG HW300 for the DLNA so I could stream videos/musics easier without bunch of cables around my room and in my closet.



As for the Qumi Q2, the 300 lumens is enough for me. I can live with it since the LG HX300 is about the same but I would have to say the Q2 is slightly brighter. My only major gripe is having to buy adapters for my HDMI cable and component (still need to find an adapter for it). No accessories/adapters for other video inputs (for example the Wii).



The menu is really really basic. Can't calibrate much at all. Cannot change R, G, B to suit the situation. The presettings were ok. Brightness was way too saturated but not too bad for me.



Now for the good stuff, pixels are much more less noticeable when compared to the LG HW300, thanks to the increase pixels. Videos played nicely no stutter, no rainbow effect that I could notice, and the fan was not too bad (bad during silent scenes).



**One little trouble, I had a defective one prior to this review. The red led was broken or something because Mario's red under clothing was pure black. So did other images and videos where red didn't show up. Amazon was willing to replace it without any hassle. Thank you Amazon. Vivitek took awhile to respond but I took up on Amazon's offer because they were much more speedier in their replies.





Overall though, I am pleased with the product.





Update- After using it for like 2 weeks. I'm actually getting quite frustrated with the projector. It appears that after shutting off the projector and turning it back on later, you are required to refocus again. If you are using it as a dedicated theater and mounted on the ceiling, you literally have to climb up every time, turn the focus wheel and not turn it off ever again. That's very inconvenient and a major flaw for me. I wish Vivitek would address something on this issue other than telling us to just refocus when it reaches operational temperature.



Update 8/27/11- I'm beginning to notice the projector is not focused in some areas strangely enough. Like along the bottom right portion of the screen is blurred out and middle left. Apparently it's a common problem. Please buy at your own discretion. Dropped it to 3 stars.

pros: Brighter than most led projectors, I have a 100" screen. HD 720p, very nice. Enough ports for a portable (You will find yourself swapping HDMI cables if you don't have a switch).

Only 1.6 lbs. NO NEED FOR LAMP REPLACEMENTS! Plays video, music, and documents from portable media fairly well (if in the right format, handbrake works pretty well for .mp4). Very good skin tones



cons: Seems to need refocused after heating up. No power button on remote, hard power switch though, so any remote controlled outlet could work. Slight green tint to black and white scenes.



comments: Very saturated colors. Super basic menu. I haven't tried the 3D functionality



Good deal for the money.

It was quite a wait for the Qumi projector, factoring in several delays due to manufacturing and Vivitek shipping misfires. But it was well worth the wait. I have an Optoma HD65 720P projector and I absolutely love it. The Optoma is bright, vibrant, and very portable. While the Qumi does not produce as large or dynamic a picture as my Optoma, it does hold its own. The Qumi is surprisingly bright for 300 lumens and the colors are very rich. The picture is sharp and clear. And the portability of the Qumi is fantastic, clearly surpassing my Optoma on that front. I have projected images from 20" to 110" and have been impressed with its delivery of content, especialy from Netflix, blu rays and DirecTV HD. I use it all over my home, yard, and deck and am very pleased with its performance. The ability to achieve 3D viewing appears to be very limited. But honestly, I didn't purchase the Qumi for that use. I wanted a mobile, big screen performance where bulb replacement, due to hours used, was no longer a concern. And the Qumi has abundantly delivered just that. And as usual, Amazon's service was IMPECABLE in the purchase of this projector. A great product and great service. Like I said............definitely worth the wait.

Great little projector. I've had it for a day and I believe you need nothing else if you are looking for a small,light and very portable projector.

300 hundred lumens is more than enough for anything you may want. A good set of connections cables (short, like 18 inches). In my case I got a 120 inches screen from 3.5 meters from the wall. Excellent quality. Only complaint is sound, but any speaker system will do the trick. I recommend this to anybody who is looking for a portable projector.

I've had it for a few weeks now, and I love it! It is my first projector so you could say maybe it's because I have nothing to compare it to. I currently have it projecting a 96" image on a screen I built using black out cloth (tutorials can be found online.) Blu Rays from my PS3 look amazing even at the resolution of 1280 x 800. I have it mounted to my ceiling with a speaker mount.

A few minor problems though. It takes about 15 minutes to reach optimal temperature to focus. So I waited 15 min. Then focus. I leave it at that focus setting. Next time I turn it on it is focused after 15 min. Also, it is quite difficult to get focused perfectly. It can be done, though you may notice a portion of the screen is not as focused as the rest. Not a big difference to me, though other reviewers disagree. Lastly, you really do need complete darkness for the best looking picture. Once I build my theater room in the basement I won't have to worry about that. In the living room now, I mostly use it at night anyway. And when I use it in the daytime, I put a black blanket over my large living room window and I'm good to go! For 500 bucks you can't really complain! A friend of mine has a very high end projector and screen and the difference in image quality does not equal the difference in cost in my opinion. - Optoma - Projector - 3d Ready - Portable Projectors'

Ladies Tag Watch - ladies tag watch, luxury


I don't recommend this watch. I haven't had the watch for a year and it turns my wrist black after wearing it for a day. If I understand correctly it's only coated in stainless steel, once it wears off there is nickel in the wristband that reacts with my skin. Very disappointing after you spend this much on a watch. I expected more from Tag Heuer. TAG Heuer Women's WAF1412.BA0823 Aquaracer Ladies Watch

I bought this watch for my wife as an second year anniversary gift. It is an excellent watch. The fact that the TAG HEUER brand is printed in green and red makes it even look better. My wife says that she can wear this watch with either fancy dresses or with casuals. I strongly recommend it!

DONT BUY!!!. AMAZON IS NOT A AUTHORISED RESELLER



They dont provide an internationla warranty as is should as stated in the manufactures manual. Should have an internationla card with the date and time of purchased.



after repeated requests...I NEVER GOT IT!. Finally one Amazon representative emailed and told me that AMazon is NOT and authorised reseller of TAG watches...Thereby you have no recall at all if is breaks down!!!



DO NOT BUY!!!

I purchased this watch 4 weeks ago and was very happy with the quick postage , packaging and the watch itself. However, after only 2 weeks , when I attempted to change the date ( it was 12hrs out) the winder ( crown) just snapped off. I contacted Amazon as it within 30 days but due to the fact that I had worn the watch ( I had to get it resized too) , I was not eligible for a refund. The crown is not considered part of the watch movement either so it was not covered by the Amazon warranty. I have had to get it privately repaired for close to $200. Very disappointed with this Tag. Previously owned a Longines for 15yrs without any hassles.

I love the looks of my Aquaracer. My complaint is that it loses a minute a month. I've been told that's because it digital(?) and not battery operated. So, every 3 months or so I set the watch 5 minutes fast. It' embarrassing to wear such an expensive watch and then not have accurate time.

I purchased this watch as a present for my wife.

I myself also own an Aquaracer watch from TAG Heuer.

I am very pleased with this purchase.

It lives up to my expectation about this brand in terms of looks, quality of the materials and precision.

I bought this watch with a pink face for my wife six years ago. The watch has worked without any issues. The crown is still there and it keeps perfect time. I have heard the manual operated watches do lose a minute, but I don't own any and they are priced much higher.

I bought this watch at Macys and ensured the seller was an authorized TAG dealer. This is a battery operated watch, which will require you to change out the battery every two to three years. Overall maintenance on this particular watch is only required every 10 years. I have the seals checked at an authorized dealer each time I have the battery changed, which only runs approximately $30. This is a great quality watch. We currently have four TAG watches, two Aquaracers and two Formula 1s, not a problem with either one. - Luxury - Ladies Tag Watch - Watches'

I purchased this paper to wrap a few presents for my sister and her daughter. This wrapping paper is BEAUTIFUL in person. Very thick, I would almost compare it to shelving paper. The fact that it comes with the matching tissue paper is fantastic. The wrapping paper is textured, thick,nothing you're wrapping will be displayed through this, great find. (Also received a note thanking me for my purchase from the seller) Gift Wrap Cool Flowers & Paisley Wrapping Paper & Tissue Paper 20 Sq Ft Roll

I have never seen gift wrap so wonderful and so reasonably priced. The roll has both a tissue paper layer and an embossed, thick wrapping paper layer. After using it, I compared it to the wrapping papers on offer at a couple of local drugstores and bookstores. I could not find comparable quality and certainly not at this price.



It looks and feels great, and the store has great customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend this product and the sellers.

The paper arrived quickly and was much prettier than you can tell from the picture. It's actually embossed to look almost like leather and feels thick and rich. I loved it and my recipient was very carefully opening her gift to save the paper because it was "too pretty to throw away". There is also a ton of on the roll, unlike the usual "one time around the tube" type variety you get at bargain stores. I would definitely buy this again. - Bows - Christmas Wrap - Gift Decoration - Decoration'

Bostitch Finish Nailer - finish nailer, compressor


I purchased this nail gun recently and was pleasantly surprised when I received it. The condition of the nailer was really good, you could tell it wasn't brand new as some slight touch up had been done to the black areas of the paint otherwise, you would be hard pressed to distinguish the gun from a new one. After receiving it, I fired up my compressor and ran about 50 or so nails through it to make sure it worked well and to see how easy it was to adjust the drive depth. I had no problems getting the gun to countersink 2" nails in oak.



Just a heads up, the description lists additional tips and hex wrenches as being included however, I did not receive any and do not see these items listed by other vendors in their description of the item. I suspect this is a minor oversight by Amazon.



I prefer to buy new when possible however, when the price is significantly cheaper, there is a promo code, and the warranty is good, there is no reason not to consider purchasing this gun reconditioned. Factory-Reconditioned Bostitch U/N62FNK-2 1- to 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer

They sent me a heavily used, dirty tool. The box had dirt from the worksite on it. The trigger is loaded with dirt. They did not even try to patch up any of the dings, scratches and scuffs. This looks like it came out of a pawnshop, but worse because it is dirty. I did not even try it to see if it worked, it looked so bad. They did not even pretend to send a factory reconditioned nailer. I am embarrased for this company. Based on the reviews, I suspect this is an anomoly, and that someone who is not greatful to be employed severely cut corners. Only a couple others have had simlar experiences--at least people who have taken the time to post a review. I am sending it back.



I ordered one new from the same company for about $25 more. I received it today and I am pleased. Now I have to waste my time and gas to take the crappy one to UPS because someone did not take pride in their work.



The lesson here is to buy new if you buy from this company. I previously bought a reconditioned compresser and brad nailer from a different company (CPO Bostitch) and it truely was factory conditoned and was beautiful.

The nailer came in the mail 2 days earlier than I expected. It had extra foot covers included in the box, which was nice. The nailer performed flawlessly with the Bostitch brand 2 1/2 inch nails. I did have a minor problem with 1 inch Hitachi brand 1 inch nails...When I held it up to nail into the wall, it misfired about every 5th nail. This was remedied when I aimed it downward towards the ground. I switched to the 1 inch Bostitch nails and didn't have this problem anymore. I suggest using the brand nails for this unit. I have yet to have a misfire with the Bostitch nails. The unit was in perfect condition out of the box. Only some minute indications that it had ever been used. I did have to use my own compressor adapter, as it did not come with one included. Not a problem because I had plenty for just such an occasion. I build a lot of antique reproduction style furniture, and this tool is a must. The 15 gauge nails are strong enough to hold, but thin enough to not split the wood. It leaves a small hole that is easily covered with putty, barely noticeable when finished. All in all a great product at a great price...Well under the price you pay for a substandard brand from the local tool store.

Make sure you buy from a reseller that has a good return policy. I got the full refund without paying returned shipping fee.



I got the really old nailer that look like several year heavy used worn out, missing a box of 1000 sampled nails, no instruction manual, no air fit connector, and a broken case lock clip.



In my case, that is not worthy to save $50.00 compare to a new one. In additional, I have to delay my project in couple weeks.

I purchased this with a Bostitch 6 gallon compressor and 18 gauge brad nailer to do some trim work around the house. Things to note are the gun did not come with a quick connect coupling and be sure to get the 25 degree angled nails. Most other brands use the 30+ degree nails.

The gun works pretty good. Jams once in a while i.e on the last nail in the feeder. Easy to clear them. At 100 PSI I've had no trouble driving in 2 1/2 nails. A lot easier than hand nailing!

Nail gun arrived in perfect condition, almost as if it had never been used. I don't know if they repaint these things or what, but the case, the nail gun, everything was like-new. It also came with a box of 1000 - 2" nails in it which I wasn't expecting. Not sure if that is true for everybody, but I thought it was cool, those are about $20. I've now shot over 3,000 nails with it and only had one minor jam up, on the last nail of the load and it was easy to pull out the nail and move on. It's lightweight and sets the nail perfectly every time. I've used a combination of the Bostich 15 gauge 2.5" and 2" inch nails.

This is the second finish nail gun I have owned. I am so happy with Bostitch and with the CPO company. My nail gun arrived early (as did my 18v lithium ion drill gun from this company). This nail gun has worked flawlessly and has certainly made it easier to install trim work. I found that the nail gun is easy to disassemble if you need to (I didn't, but wanted to see how it would if I had a jammed nail). It is very easy to use and accurately sets nails to the desired depth. I would highly recommend to any do-it-yourself handyman such as I am.

I purchased one of these new about five years ago. I bought it just for around the house projects so it saw very little use - maybe used once every three months to drive twenty nails. Mine went bad about a year after I bought it. It leaks air badly around the trigger. I don't know whether I just bought one that was poorly made or it's just a sorry product to start with. I do know that I will not purchase another, or the Bostich brand. - Finish Nailer - Nailer - Compressor - Bostitch Finish Nailer'

Wide Calf Boot - comfortable, boots


I thought these boots were so aesthetically pleasing, and was excited to read in the description that they fit wider calves. However, when I took them out of the box and began to put them on, they barely fit over my shin - let alone my calf. I do have wider-than-average calves, but they're not monstrously so. I don't know what Aerosoles' idea of "wide calf" is, but if you're got any more than a 14'' calf circumference I'd stay away. Stay very, very far away. Avenue and Torrid have 17'' and 18'' inch calf widths, so I'll be sticking to what I know from now on. ;0) Aerosoles Women's Infamous Boot,Black,10.5 B US

I bought these boots in brown to take on a trip to Italy last October. I was THRILLED that they fit my wide calves (16 inches) with room to spare! The double zipper is a great idea!! I also wanted a lower heel, and these were perfect for walking! The very first day I wore them, I did have a little ankle discomfort, but, it must have been a "breaking in" thing, as the next day, and all the days after, I had no pain at all. In fact, they were more comfortable than the Born flats that I also took along. I walked MANY miles in these boots and as soon as we got back home, I ordered a pair in black! I'm actually logging on today to buy an additional pair in each color because they are on sale and I know I will wear these out at some point ... I want back ups, as these are my favorite boots EVER!!

These are cute boots & quite comfortable, too. I ordered a 7 1/2 and they are true to size. They've got two zippers, so you can unzip one set of zippers a little bit to relax the shaft if you need it. The boots are nice and tall and look great with skirts. I've received many compliments on them. The only thing I wish is that they were made of leather instead of the synthetic stuff.

THE LOOK:

I loved the way these boots look and they were a great price so I purchased them. I was a little surprised to see they were not real leather when I received them (ordered online) but that wasn't really a problem for me.



THE FEEL:

Since these are Aerosoles, i didn't think i had anything to worry about in terms of comfort. However, these are extremely uncomfortable. They have a zipper on the side which bends in such a way that it digs into the side of your ankle. I'm not wearing them today but my ankles still hurt (they feel like they're black and blue).



BOTTOM LINE: I wore them once and will be returning them, unfortunately.

I have bought this boot on sale during the summer, so I have not wore the boots yet. I do like the heel height and have walked around the house in them and it does seem like I could wear them all day, and I stand up all day as a teacher. I was concerned that they would look cheap, but that is not the case. My problem is that I have a 15 inch calf circumference and usually need a wide calf boot. These boots fit my calf, so I am very excited. I do like that they can accommodate my big calves but don't look big on ankles, as I have regular sized ankles. Try them! Looks like they could work with skirts or pants/jeans.

It is a beautiful pair of boots. Well, when I received it, it has a dent in one heal, but I would still say they are beautiful!



The only thing is, they are designed for wide calf. I have 12-13 inch calf, so my leggs are swimming in the boots... otherwise, I would keep it! Now, it's on the way to get refund.

I am wearing the boots as I write this. The most helpful information I can give is to say that I am 5'8", athletic built, with 15" caves and these boots fit me perfectly. I wear them with skirts/dresses. They are very comfortable and stylish - have received many compliments. I have not noticed an issue with the zippers as mentioned in other posts. All-in-all, I am very pleased with the boots.

I am in between a 7 1/2 and 8 in shoes. I usually have to try both sizes but to be safe, I ordered and 8. It fits a bit loose and I am actually going to try the 7 1/2. The fit around the calf is a bit loose too if you have "normal" size calves...but does not look bad stylistically. Very comfy if you get the right sizing. - Boots - Womens Boots - Riding Boots - Comfortable'
