 | PUR CRF9503 Replacement Water Filter - Pack of 3 | |
 | "Beware of Lead Contaminates!!!" | 2009-06-06 |
| My wife and I spent time in a town where the lead levels in the water are elevated from the plumbing in the old Victorian houses. The PUR filter claims to reduce lead significantly. But our physician found elevated levels of lead in our blood. We traced the source to the water, which we HAD BEEN FILTERING with PUR filters. The elevated lead levels most likely were the cause of a miscarriage we had. We simply didn't understand how we got lead from the water since the PUR filters claim to reduce lead significantly. After a long bit of research I discovered that the PUR filters reduce soluble lead, but not lead particles (which is what our water contained). So be sure to know if the water you filter is contaminated with lead. If so, find out if it is contaminated with lead particles (which PUR does not filter out) or soluble lead (which it does). | ||

 | Stanley-Bostich N62FNK-2 Oil-Free, Angled Finish Nailer Kit | |
 | "Great gun, but not a lot of nail options" | 2009-02-22 |
| This is truly a good finish gun. However, where I live it is impossible to buy nails for it any shorter than 2 inches...no one carries them. Of course, you can buy them online. But if you want to have the convenience of buying them right when you need them, be sure to check your local hardware stores to see if they stock the nails. I am sadly going to have to return this gun and buy something different. | ||
 | Teaching and Learning at a Distance: Foundations of Distance Education | |
 | "A good beginning" | 2009-02-12 |
| This book is informative, but tends to state the obvious a little too much. It is a good beginning for people who know little to nothing about Distance Education. Some portions are interesting, while others are more boring than they need to be. It isn't the best resource for administrators. But for a beginner's text, it is adequate. | ||
 | The Everlasting Man | |
| "Brilliant and Witty." | 2008-06-29 |
| Chesterton drives home his points in captivating, intelligent and often hilarious ways. He is possibly one of the most intellectually honest writers of the last century. His influence has reached far and wide, including forays not only in the Catholic church, but in Protestant circles as well. C.S. Lewis read this book shortly before his conversion to Christianity. You'll not want to read this book with intellect alone (though it is intellectually very stimulating). The Everlasting Man is meaty enough to nourish your spirit and deepen your understanding. | ||
 | Climbing Parnassus: A New Apologia for Greek and Latin | |
| "A Great Argument for the Classics" | 2007-10-15 |
| This book is a tremendous resource not only for some history of education, but it intelligently explains the importance of Greek and Latin as well. Simmons could have spent a little more time, in my opinion, exploring some of the arguments against learning the classics, such as the (perhaps justifiable) fear of polluting young minds with "pagan" philosophy and racy tales. He does seem to think Greek and Latin exercises will enable children to rightly discern between the proverbial baby and the bathwater, which they undoubtedly will to a point. One cannot help but notice that Simmons has, however, given too high a place to these languages. They are important to learn, but they are not the pinnacle he makes them out to be. He over-sells in my estimation. That said, it is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone. | ||
