Amazon.com: Books: Murder in Amsterdam: Two Books in One (Dekok and the Sunday Strangler and Dekok and the Corpse on Christmas Eve) (#)

„Baantjer successfully uses the moral ambiguity of prostitution in Amsterdam--which is legal but viewed as a threat to society--to avoid easy cliches and to make DeKok, his assistant, Vledder, the victims and the denizens of Amsterdam's red-light district into three-dimensional individuals. The second whodunit proves that DeKok isn't above breaking the law to serve the interests of justice, as he engages a burglar to commit a break-in and then tampers with evidence to entrap the murderer of a young woman. His knowledge of esoterica rivals that of Holmes, but Baantjer wisely uses such trivia infrequently, his main interests clearly being detective work, characterization and moral complexity.

Amazon.com: Books: The Importance of Being Earnest (#)

„But if Wilde's puns are the low road then his epigrams represent the heights of his genius, especially when they are used by the characters in an ironic vein (e.g., "It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal" and "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance"). Jack is the male lead, but it is Algernon who represents the ideal Wilde character, who insists he is a rebel speaking out against the institutions of society, such as marriage, but with attacks that are so flamboyant and humorous that the cleverness of the humor ends up standing apart from the inherent point.“

CoffeeGeek - A Tale of Five Tampers (#)

„Using the Reg Barber tampers is a joy - it fits the hand well, the thickness of the tamper is just the right size to "level" it with the top of your filter basket for making perfect doses of coffee, and it looks damned good doing it. The tampers are in the flat style, which all the others in this roundup don't follow - they all feature convex bases. I'm a firm convert to the convex style of tamper, which makes the Reg less than ideal for my style of tamping. Still, it is a first rate tamper, and as long as Reg has fixed the logo placement issues, it is very much worth the money.“

Amazon.com: Books: Quarrel & Quandary : Essays (Vintage) (#)

„In three provocative pieces ("The Rights of History and the Rights of the Imagination," "The Posthumous Sublime," and "Who Owns Anne Frank?"), Ozick suggests that the Holocaust is almost--but not quite--impervious to literature. She's particularly angered by the morphing of Frank's diary into a mother lode of Broadway-style uplift, a transformation that "tampers with history, with reality, with deadly truth." Elsewhere, though, Ozick is less polemical, more willing to be dazzled by Roethke's radiance or Henry James's epistemological high beams. And it's not only specific artists but entire genres that win her awed and eloquent approval:“

CoffeeGeek - 2003 Tampers - Tamper Shootout Conclusions (#)

„Coming out of nowhere, the Presso Tamper out of Sweden has virtually tied the long standing and time tested Reg Barber Tamper , with scores of 1.7 for the Reg, and 1.75 for the Presso. What's especially notable about this is that the designers of the Presso claim to have not physically tested and examined other tampers when designing this model, and when you see a Presso model, you can see a lot of subtle originality in the design. The only minor complaint about this tamper is that it needs more weight. I think if it had that extra weight, it would have vaulted into first place overall.“

Amazon.com: Books: Foundation's Fear (Second Foundation Trilogy (Paperback)) (#)

„Most disappointing is the treatment of Dors Venabili, recharacterized with a misspelled name in Foundation's Fear. Her appearance in Foundation and Chaos tampers unforgivably with the happy ending Asimov gave us in the Epilogue of Forward the Foundation, his last novel in a long career. Given Asimov/Seldon's affection for this character, the parallels between Dors and Asimov's wife Janet, and between "Forward" and the latter years of Asimov's own life, this development alone was enough to ruin the entire second trilogy experience for me.“

„of pressure to your coffee for adequate compression of the "puck." And that pressure needs to be firmly and evenly distributed. That's why we actually like the flat-bottom tampers rather than convex ones (like the plastic ones that often come with espresso machines). Be sure you order the correct size tamper! There best method is to measure your existing tamper, since measuring the inside of your filter basket is difficult and perhaps inaccurate (it is wider at the top than at the bottom).“

„I’ve tried them all and I’m convinced the more massive the tamper the better it does its job. All of my currnet tampers are machined stainless steel and they fit my Rancilio’s filter cup precisely.     Reg Barber Enterprises in Canada will make you a stunning custom tamper for about US$50 ppd. Reg's compact yet massive tampers are lathe-machined, highly polished stainless steel with a beautiful hardwood handle.“

CoffeeKid - Tampers and Coffee! (#)

„Fifth - the handles again - The handles are big step up in quality compared to some other tampers I've used - it's a dense black plastic (or bakelite?) material, but what makes them good is there's a metal collar / female threading inside for the piston to screw into. Holds it incredibly secure. One problem I've had with some quality tampers is, because I'm left handed, sometimes I accidentally unscrew the handle while tamping and twisting.“

„Wolfe "links" the two incidents, demonstrates the first death to be a murder, and undertakes to collect the $50,000.00 reward posted for identifying the killer.
