I absolutely loved this year's anthology of the "best of" short stories. I had all but given up on this series due to recent uprising of violent, shock-value, experimental and "magic realism" stories. It seemed there was just this trend to be weird and shocking just to get published/noticed. This year is a quieter bunch on some level and although many tend towards depressing or sad, gone is the extreme darkness and violence that plagued many short stories of the last couple of years. These are more about relationships, being different and the fears we have that we may never connect with other human beings. Jennifer Egan did a great job paring down to the final 20 and maybe it was criteria she used that I resonated with, but I thought her choices were interesting, exciting and brought a new spark to possibilities for the contemporary short story. I felt only two stories were mediocre, not memorable, but not horrible either ("The Breeze" by Joshua Ferris - not so much the subject matter and writing which were good, but the ridiculous choppy back/forth "what if" form, it was very done before and took a LOT away from just enjoying a story about a crumbling contemporary relationship; and "Next to Nothing" by Stephen O'Connor, simply because it was hard to believe. It was, however, a right chilling/spooky story). The remainders I would call 5-star. It was a pleasure to see some of the masters of the form, e.g., Charles Baxter, T.C Boyle, Joyce Carol Oates, but also wow, some of the newcomers were awesome ,e.g., Benjamin Nugent ("God"), Mollly McNett ("La Pulchra Nota") and Laura Van Den Berg ("Antarctica"). This book really brought back some great joy in not only reading fiction, but short stories. Highly recommended if you might like to try venturing into short stories, but especially if you already love them.

Our number one "leaky dog" has gone to puppy heaven, but we still have an occasional "accident", and this is the best thing I've ever found for stain & odor control. It's not magic, but it's close. Just soak up or remove as much of the offending substance as possible, soak the area with Natures Miracle, let it sit for a few minutes to do its enzyme work, then blot up what you can. Stain gone, odor gone. Perfect!

Purchased for Birthday party for Jesus for kids at Church. You can never go wrong with a sorry gift. I am 73 years old and still have the first one that me and my brother spent hours playing when we were kids. Such good memories

Deserves ZERO STARS!! Faulty product! Lives up to ZERO of it's promises. I'm so angry! Applied in September this year -- followed directions EXACTLY. Looked good for about 48 hours, then started peeling, chipping and disintegrating as weather became colder and wetter. Just used my shop vac to remove gallons of sandy mess from front porch and steps. Why is this product allowed to be sold anywhere??

After I read all the reviews about the jelley pan, I decided to buy two because I prefer stainless steel jelly pans. I used baking soda to remove all the glue in a few minutes.It was a piece of cake to remove the glue.So if you don't want to buy the pan only because of the glue, please don't worry about it. I give 4 stars here because I have not use the pans to bake.

I absolutely love this product. As of a year ago, I was able to purchase for $12.00 and now is $22.00! Guess that is because of the popularity of this product. I tried many other brands and kept coming back to this one because it is perfect for my thin hair. It gives my hair volume, it is not sticky and my hair styles perfect every time.

It takes to long to do the job. It needs a lot of adjustments. I took the grinder off and used it by it's self. They need to come up with a better way of mounting the grinder.
