Bushnell Xtra-Wide 4x30 Binocular

Bushnell Xtra-Wide 4x30 Binocular

This product works great for stadium viewing of all types of events. I especially wanted it to view football games and the field of vision is so wide it allows me to see everything from sideline to sideline. The only way this product could be better is if they could make a higher power magnification with the same field of vision.

Giro Remedy Bike Helmet

Giro Remedy Bike Helmet

I have a big head and the large fit me well. The helmet breaths very well, I was no hotter than when I just wore a standard helemt without the face shield. it is light and comfortable. Fortunately I've not needed the face shield yet, but I push myself a little more becuase I feel so protected. And the comfort is amazing. A must have for any serious mountain biker.

Bell Bellistic Bike Helmet

Bell Bellistic Bike Helmet

This is a great helmet. I bought it to replace another Bellistic I bought a few years ago. I'm an aggressive mountain bike rider, and have unfortunately landed on my head a few times; the Bellistic kept my head in one piece. It is cheaper than other good helmets, the trade off is that it has fewer air vents than some (so I bought a white one for those hot summer days). It also does not have a removable liner, so it's harder to wash. The sizes run small. I usually wear a size small, but my Bellistic is a medium. I'm giving it 5 stars because based on the price, it is excellent. I have friends who have spent $200 or more for their helmets with more vents and removable liners.

Lifetime 1306 Pool Side Height-Adjustable Portable
Basketball System with 44-Inch Clear Acrylic Backboard

Very sturdy assembly and full size hoop. So far its been a lot of fun. I only wish they provided a drain plug for the base. You can still drain by removing the two top filler caps and tipping it to the side though.

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management

This book taught me that you aren't really eating "normally" on most diets. Your body confuses a diet with a time of famine and is trying to keep you alive. Your body doesn't know that you can afford to lose the weight, and that the "famine" is self-imposed. It explains the role that chronic low-grade stress (work, relationships, etc.) plays on weight gain.

Eden's Outcasts: The Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Father

Eden's Outcasts: The Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Father

The author manages to do justice to both his subjects, Louisa May Alcott and her father. He also creates an excellent picture of the time and explains the transcendtalist movement. Besides L.M. Alcott and B. Alcott one learns a lot about Emerson, Thoreau, Elizabeth Peabody and other luminaries of the time. The book is fact driven, there are often long quotations from original material and it is very well written. A most enlightening book, bringing its subjects and their surroundings to life. I originally bought this book becasue of my interst in L.M. Alcott but by the end I found her father at least as interesting.
I read this book like a thriller, finishing it in three days.

The State of Jones

The State of Jones

“There’s lots of ways I’d rather die than being scared to death,” Knight said, and it was a defining statement. At almost every stage of his life this yeoman from the hill country of Jones County, Miss., took courageous stands. The grandson of a slave owner who never owned slaves, he voted against secession, deserted from the Confederate Army into which he was unwillingly impressed, and formed a band called the Jones County Scouts devoted to undermining the Rebel cause locally. Working with runaway slaves and fellow Unionists and Federal soldiers caught behind enemy lines, Knight conducted such an effective running gun battle that at the height of the war he and his allies controlled the entire lower third of the state. This "southern Yankee,” as one Rebel general termed him, remained unconquered until the end of the war. His resistance hampered the Confederate Army’s ability to operate, forced it to conduct a third-front war at home, and eroded its morale and will to fight.

Lees Lieutenants (3 Volumes In One Abridged) : A Study in Command

Lees Lieutenants (3 Volumes In One Abridged) : A Study in Command

This book is an abridgement of the original three-volume version (the footnotes have been taken out). It is an incredibly well written book. It is a history of the army of Northern Virginia from the first shot fired to the surrender at Appomattox - but what makes this book unique is that it is a biography of around 150 Confederate officers. The book discusses in depth all the tradeoffs that were being made politically and militarily by the South. The book does an excellent job describing the battles, then at a critical decision point in the battle, the book focuses on an officer - the book stops and tells the biography of that person, and then goes back to the battle and tells what information the officer had at that point and the decision he made. At the end of the battle, the officers decisions are critiqued based on what he could have known and what he should have known given his experience, and that is compared with 20/20 hindsight.
