![]() Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife $13.95 The self-deprecating, infinitely-curious Ms. Roach presents a nice mix of the scientific in layman's terms as well as dashes of her eccentric humor. The woman is clearly enjoying herself on this journey of discovery. This is not a book that will answer the big otherworldly questions, but somewhat more of a scattershot inquiry into reincarnation; when does the soul come into being?; (heck) is there such a thing as a soul?; mediums; ghost chasing; and near-death experiences. The author puts her faith (sort-a-speak) in science and its attempts to prove or disprove the existence of an afterlife. I had a smile throughout the entire read. She gently chides some of our history's more morally-challenged flimflam artists as well as an occasional believer who seems to be a few ghouls short in his belfry. Educational, entertaining and funny. You can't really ask for much more than that from a book. ![]() Plano Two Level Satchel Tackle Box $22.99 Well, needless to say--after reading my title, THIS box works just fine for organizing all my electronic cigarette equipment. So let's get with it; 1. I measure 17 inches wide, 11 inches deep, 5 1/10 inches high. (big enough for all my equipment. 2. Transparent lid so I can see inside without opening--effective dust cover either way. I like the shade of blue. 3. If you look at the picture at the top of the page, you will just barely see white streaks going left and right--these are the dividers between each section. (the up and down dividers are not visible to me and can be removed to make each section 'longer') There are five sections divided up as you can see. In the bottom level there are five more stretching clear across this container from left to right (no big area in there unlike the top level. All these sections can be lenghtened or shortened but can not be made deeper. 4. Look at the picture again, you see that slightly whiter area to the far left--under the lid? That is one big section. It measures roughtly 7 inches by 10 and 1/2. Good, I can put big things in there like clippers, magnifying glass, scissors, etc.. 5. The rought distance from the floor of the top section to the underside of the lid is approximately 2 1/2 inches. six. Visually, this container gives the impression of being as big as an attache' case--a pretty big one. 7. Sturdy construction all around. 8. Both the top and bottom levels latch off differently from each other. 9. If you buy this thing to hold all your fishing tackle--you must be a pro cause this thing can hold a ton of stuff! 10. The handle seems sturdy enough, but if it should break, it's not put in there in such a way as to make it impossible to replace. Pretty simple actually. 11. The 'pins' running through the 'henges' are about the same dimension as coat-hanger wire. Stronger of course, but probably easy to replace. CONS; 1. There is no 'real' cons here, but let me add this. After looking closer at the unit I noticed breather holes running down both sides--hard to spot at first. This is good to evaporate those wet lures. However...not so good for floating--if it's upside down in the water. (oldtechno's will never see a river or smell fish). Finally; I got mine for nineteen dollars and change. (I forget what the shipping and handling was). For those of you who use them for fishing tackle, or like me to put all your e-cigarette equipment in...this thing is huge on the inside--I've got eight or nine hundred dollars of juice and equipment in there and one third of the bottom level is empty and some of the top. Those of you who are fishermen...there's enough fishing tackle space in there for a boyscout troop. I consider this a great buy. ![]() Gund My First Play set "Tackle Box" $19.99 This item is not what I had expected, and I did not listen to the reviews - consequently.
