It's hard core, does touch on controversial topics-which was mainly why I wasted the time. You like Yaoi? This is not worthwhile unless you're in it for just the violent sex. I'm a bit shocked I gave it that high to be honest. Review for Mob Jack 1: Yeah, this got as high as a 3. I decided to include a review for both since there are two parts and I've read them both. Pretty bad manga but the mangaka is an amazing artist. there is no story and therefor no character development yo feel no sympathy for the character as he faces an army squadron. There is no character development You have a pathetic excuse of a man who is put in situations where he is abused on a continuous basis. This is just gratuitous sex, violent sex at that which happens to be drawn beautifully. Review for Mob Jack 2 (review for Mob Jack 1 is below): I forgot this was the military section and there is a part 1. Mod note: This review was originally created for the manga "Mob for Jack" which has merged into "Pet Keiyaku".

5/13/2023 0 Comments Heat and light haighOne of those properties is Mackey Farms, run by a lesbian couple (Rena and Mack) who have rejected Dark Elephant, the result of which has been threats and vandalism to their property. The properties need to be bundled and the owners of the acreage in the middle of the bundle refuse to agree. Unfortunately, Dark Elephant is unable to start drilling because some of Rich’s neighbors have not agreed to terms. Rich immediately signs, accepting Dark Elephant’s first offer, thinking only about the money he will receive to enable him to realize his dream of farming. Dark Elephant sends its best salesman to Bakerton, Pennsylvania to start signing up leases so that it can accumulate enough land to begin mining shale. Kip Oliphant is the founder and CEO of Dark Elephant Energy, which, among other things, is a giant in hydraulic fracturing. Rich is married to Shelby and they have two children, the chronically ill Olivia and her younger brother, Braden. Rich’s goal is to farm the land once farmed by his grandfather and he buys out the interests of his brother and sister, but does not have the financial means to get the farm up and running. Rich Devlin has spent his entire life in Bakerton, Pennsylvania and works as a prison guard and sometime bartender at his father’s bar. “Heat and Light” is a story about small town life in Pennsylvania, the impact of fracking and other energy extraction activities and the hypocrisy and opportunism on both sides of the energy debate. Now, with How to Cook Everything The Basics, Bittman has broken recipe instructions down to the most basic level, with photographs by Romulo Yanes illustrating both dish and technique. But even the seasoned cook may wonder at times about certain things: dotting with butter-how small should the pieces be, how far apart? Batter for frying should be the consistency of thin pancake batter, but what if you don't make pancakes? Buttermilk biscuits shouldn't be overstirred-but what should the dough look like before that fatal overstirring? The books are big, they are densely packed with recipes and ideas, and they assume a certain level of competence and knowledge. Mark Bittman is so confident about his prowess with food that he calls his series of cookbooks How to Cook Everything, and after using his cookbooks, thousands agree that his confidence is not misplaced. How to Cook Everything The Basics by Mark Bittman (Wiley, $35 hardcover, 9780470528068, March 19, 2012) 5/13/2023 0 Comments Perfect book rachel joyceAs Joyce writes, "the repercussions were felt for years and years." To Byron, two seconds is the difference between "something happening and something not happening" and, sadly, those two seconds will forever change his life. When his school chum James tells him that 1972, the year in which the story is set, is a leap year, he becomes obsessed with the fact that scientists are adding two seconds to the year because "time was out of joint with the movement of the earth." Byron Hemmings is a thoughtful, intelligent 11-year-old fascinated by life's minutiae. The pivotal event in "Perfect" is inspired innocently enough by a boy's love for his mother and his determination to always do what's right. Like the butterfly effect - the theory that the flapping of a butterfly's wings can affect the weather a continent away - one seemingly insignificant event sets the suspense in motion in Rachel Joyce's haunting second novel.Īs she did in her 2012 debut novel, "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry," which was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, Joyce flings "Perfect's" characters into chaotic situations fraught with misgivings and confusion. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Babar and father christmas 1940The next day, when out shopping, he knew who Father Christmas was when he spied him in a store. My two year old was just as enthralled by the movie as I was, he sat quietly for the whole thing, which rarely happens, and commented only on the snow. After re-watching * Babar and Father Christmas, *I wonder if that sentiment was not inspired by this short film. When I was young, it was a concern of mine that Father Christmas was overworked, I sent him a Christmas present and worried for his health. We are shown the joy of the children when they discover Father Christmas, the redemption of the scheming Rataxes, and the lengths to which a father, Babar, will go to in order to bring joy to his children. The message isn't dated as some of the early Babar episodes are. How would it fare after twenty years?Īs it turns out, pretty good. A grainy VHS copy, an early morning showing before school, Babar was part of my Christmas repertoire. This movie lives in my mind as a snapshot of Christmas. So when I received a copy of my childhood favorite * Babar and Father Christmas *to review, I was both hopeful and hesitant. I can usually find a redeeming feature no matter how bad it is.

He wanted “a book that would help me understand the challenges of looking for love in the digital age,” and not finding one, he teamed up with sociologist Eric Klinenberg to conduct an international research project on love and dating in the modern world. There I was, maniacally checking my phone every few minutes, going through this tornado of panic and hurt and anger all because this person hadn’t written me a short, stupid message on a dumb little phone” (5). After texting her, Ansari experienced the anxiety that many iPhone users know all too well: “The madness I was descending into wouldn’t have even existed twenty or even ten years ago.

She hasn’t left the house in years except to go to her therapy appointments and she doesn’t see that changing any time soon, but she starts to become more curious about the world outside when Luke moves in next door. The premise of the book is that Norah, who lives with her mum, has agoraphobia and (I assume) OCD. It is a difficult read for someone with OCD and agoraphobia, and it’s one of the few books I’ve read that has described aspects of my mental health so accurately that I began to feel the first frissons of a panic attack while reading certain parts. Under Rose-Tainted Skies took me to my darkest days. Other times, my partner has to beg me to drink tiny sips of water because I’m too scared to drink for days (what if I catch dysentery?) and I go grey and get vertigo from dehydration. I can lick my fingers and touch the table and touch my face without worrying about the transfer of germs. Sometimes I can poke away a full pizza and have room for dessert. Some days, I can just leap out the door with only a slight twinge of ‘what if?’ and other days just sitting up in bed feels too risky (what if I sit up too fast and all the blood rushes to my head and I fall and knock myself unconscious on the corner of my bedside table and bleed to death?) It’s a funny thing, not being able to leave the house. |
