Great Album!

Great Deals Of Hell On Heels Pistol Annies

"Hell on Heels" is the debut album from Pistol Annies. This country super group features Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley. They are incredibly talented musicians, singers, and song writers, and anyone who listens will be impressed with their brand of country music. Their songs cover everything from domestic frustration ("The Hunter's Wife"), the female virtue ("Beige") and good ol' fashioned rebellion ("Hell on Wheels" and "Takin' Pills"). The music is awesome and features a classic country sound with some blues, honky-tonk and bluegrass influences. All three women share lead vocals on different parts of different songs, and the results are amazing. Their hooks are catchy, their harmonies and melodies are phenomenal, and the chemistry between them is perfect. This is definitely worth a listen!

Great Deals Of Connected Connections 1 ebook

There are a couple of things I want to mention before I get into this review. First off, I need to tell you that when you finish the Epilogue, you will say to yourself HOLY CRAP or something of that variety. This book's ending is...wow. There is a cliffhanger per se, but trust me when I say that it made the book THAT MUCH BETTER! Yes, there is going to be a second book. Do I recommend you wait to read this book until the second one comes out - NO! This book is so good that you need to read it now. This brings me to the second point, once you finish this book you will need at least a day or two to detox from it and process what you read. I finished this book weeks ago and it has still been on my mind.

Dahlia has been with her boyfriend, Ben, for as long as she can remember and she loves him. Then one night at a bar she meets River Wilde, lead singer of The Wilde Ones, and their connection was instantaneous and it confused the crap out of Dahlia. Despite their connection, Dahlia knew she couldn't act on her feelings, heck she didn't even understand her feelings, so she left and returned to Ben.

Years later, Dahlia's life is marred by tragedy, but she finds herself face to face with River Wilde once more. And even though years have pasted since that one night, the connection is still there - this feeling like they were soul mates. This book was a love story told so beautifully you were completely caught up in these characters.

Despite being a love story, there were some...odd occurrences. I say odd because while I was reading I had no idea why some of these random things kept happening. But rest assured, there is an answer and the ending will shed light on some of the more curious happenings.

Now let me address the ending a little bit more. This was by far one of the best "cliffhanger" endings I have read in a very long time. I literally screamed out loud when this book finished demanding to know more. To me it put everything that happened into place and really set me up for the second book. The ending totally answered some questions that I had lingering throughout the book. I know everyone has a different opinion on these type of endings but I absolutely loved it and now cannot wait until the second book, TORN comes out. I know it will definitely be worth the wait.

I am officially a full fledge card member of the Kim Karr fan club - in fact I may even be up for President. I love her story and love her ideas. I even love her more that she named a character Ben Covington which coincidentally has the same name as one of my favorite characters from TV - Scott Speedman's character from Felicity. She also found a way to incorporate Kellan Kyle (Thoughtless series) and Jake Weathers (The Mighty Storm) into the story as well - brilliant! And if you need yet another reason why this book rocks, the chapter titles are songs thereby creating an amazing music playlist to listen along to while reading! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Wow! A Great Little Device and a Nice Price Too

Why You Ned to Buy Can You Imagine Pocket Plasma

Just received and fired up the green "pocket plasma" device.

I bought this as a test-drive for some SFX I'm needing for a steampunk prop, and wasn't expecting much to be honest.

Well, it blew me away. The display is bright and crisp, the patterns pretty much like what you see on the picture. I was completely surprised by just how impressive this inexpensive little gem is. The sound-to-light feature is especially neat (though I hadn't intended to use that particular feature I am now feverishly wondering how to incorporate it into my prop).

Admittedly it's early days. If the device fails to live up to my first impressions of it I'll come back and say so.

[EDIT] I've obtained several of these items now and I've found that the "static" display can vary greatly, from a very attractive lightning effect to a less striking "hair-like" corona. The effect is focused on all of them by placing fingers on the glass of course, but when the display is too "busy" for your taste I suggest switching to sound-actuated mode, which gives a different and quite striking effect. The vagaries of the tolerances of the individual electronic components must play a large part in the final effect, I think. Having said that, only one out of the six I bought showed the "overly busy" display. [/EDIT]

The device consists of a sandwich of glass discs enclosing a white gridwork, across which the green lightning-like discharges arc. These can be affected by placing your fingers on the disc to attract the streaks of "lightning".

The glass disc assembly is permanently mounted to a box of electronics, which is about 2.5 inches square and about an inch thick. You'll need two triple A batteries to power it up, and a teeny Phillips-head screwdriver to open the battery compartment. Don't over-tighten the screws when you put the lid back on. A switch on the top of the box turns the unit on and selects sound mode or continuous display.

The box has a belt/pocket clip on the back. In my opinion the electronics box makes clipping this to a shirt pocket impractical.

I intend some warranty-voiding shenanigans to incorporate this device into a larger prop, so I won't be using that feature.

[EDIT 1/18/13] I did indeed incorporate this device into the "Aethero-Galvanic Exciter" for my steampunk ray-gun "Colonel Moran's Aetheric Neuralizer", where its display is visual confirmation that the power-supply safety relay has actuated and the effects in the gun itself now have power (so if they aren't working there's a real problem and not just a flat battery).

I display the prop with the disc in full, glorious action, and it never fails to draw positive comment, and I took first prize in the costume contest for which I built the prop. The visual impact of what is in reality a bunch of pipe fittings and a wooden box is solely due to the display of the Lumin Disc and that of the plasma effect in the raygun. My steampunk prop looks like it works, and that is worth every penny I paid for the disc.[/EDIT]

I'm going to buy more of these.

Why You Ned to Buy redmotion games Chromasphere

I first heard Anyone Who Had a Heart in late December/early January on WFUV in New York. I just caught the last minute or so, but I was listening with headphones and was hooked from the start. I immediately looked it up on Amazon and preordered, and it's been getting frequent rotation on my CD player since it arrived. I wasn't familiar with Ms. Lynne until I read an interview with her in The New York Times, and since then I've discovered I HAD heard of her before (she's featured in the Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack for starters). The album backstory is just as interesting as the album--Barry Manilow--BARRY MANILOW!--suggested that the Dusty Springfield catalog would be a great vehicle for Ms. Lynne, and he was absolutely right. The musicians and arrangements are a perfect compliment to Ms. Lynne's song stylings, there's not a bad song on the album. This will be on many a reviewer's end of the year Top 10 albums list. Perfect music for a rainy Saturday night by one's self; even better when shared with someone special. Let me know which song becomes your favorite.
