Too Much Information Review

Too Much Information Book Review
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

In an era of terrorism and pandemics, with constant threats from differing but equally destructive sources, Thermo-Magnetic Imaging machines represent a seemingly perfect solution. But as privacy and health concerns grow ever more complex, this cutting edge technology delivers more than anyone had bargained for. While the forces behind the scenes fight to conceal their true agenda, the public struggles to cope with a new paradigm so invasive their innermost secrets are laid bare under its powerful lens.

On David’s website it tell his audience that

“An author, and a musician. David Haskell lives in Tokyo, Japan with his wife and their nine year old daughter. Prior to living in Japan full-time, he split his time between Asia and America, drumming at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea on trashcans and other assorted ridiculous instrumentation, as well as similar gigs at DisneyWorld and Universal Studios. He attended the University of Massachusetts where he studied music under the guidance of Dr. Peter Tanner and percussion guru Thom Hannum, and around that time he also lived for a year in Concord, CA while performing with the Blue Devils drum corps under another amazing teacher and drumming legend, Tom Float, who incidentally created the trash can trio gig at Disneyland that spawned the groups he was so lucky to be a part of in Japan.

David was born and raised in the Boston area, but left home at an early age because it was way too cold. He does travel back to Beantown as often as he can, preferring to plan those trips for the summer months. On the traveling front, he has been around America quite a lot back in his drum corps days, mostly small towns and rural communities. He has also been to Hawaii and Guam, and several cities in Canada and Mexico. Abroad he’s been around Japan quite a bit, as far afield as Okinawa. And he has also spent short amounts of time in Hong Kong and London having an absolute blast hanging with friends there.

Too Much Information is David Haskell’s debut novel. He has two more books in the works and coming soon, so be sure and bookmark this website so you won’t miss anything!”

Since this was his first book, I found that it was superb. He did an outstanding job writing each and every piece.

Have you ever thought that you were on the TV show ‘Big Brother’, watched or been a contestant on the show? Well this would be the book for you it actually read into. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing a few authors now, and their style of writing. From a daily activity- journal pieces, too authors that set the “style” of being the narrator, to having it in 2 or 3 party settings, based on their own characters almost like Role playing.

I received a Kindle Copy of this book for the review.  Too Much Information can be found on an array of websites. From GoodReads.com, to Amazon.com/Amazon.ca , Kobo , Half.com ,  Audible.com and Indigo.ca.

This book ranges from $4.19 on Amazon.ca to $10.62 on Audible.com.

Crossing the Seas: A Diary of My Thoughts

Yuehai  Xiao has compiled the best of his insights, quotes, and daily thoughts  and shares them in his newly released book, Crossing the Seas: A Diary of My Thoughts, published by Author House. Crossing the Seas: A Diary of My Thoughts: is a collection of posts, from his blog and Facebook posts over a 2 year period.

 

Yuehai (Mike) has been writing since he was a young child. True to the books title. He has had an opportunity to live aboard, and has since lived in the US, and as of right now Markham Ontario Canada. Not too far from me actually.

I had the immense pleasure in getting to know Yuehai (Mike). I have seen his posts daily on his personal wall. With either quotes, sayings, and written words that would make you do a double take and think about it internally.  Whether it is from Politics, Social Media, Medical Situations, and Religion.

Now this picture tells a great story as well, the book shelf of Oprah’s Book club. His book has been read by celebrities, such as Oprah, President Obama, and Bill Clinton to name a few. He is also has a wide range of friendships that might have even stemmed some musical makings.

 

President Obama talks to him regularly. Yuehai is very enthusiastic about talking with President Obama and Bill Clinton. He has created a friendship with them that will last throughout the years.

Yuehai writes about what is on his mind. He doesn’t hold anything back. He has a strong opinion about a string of topics. I am a pretty open-minded individual and his book made me think of each and every one of his statements, quotes, and facts that he shared, and I had a laugh at a few things as well. Just remember 1+1=2, not 3 or 4 or more. 😉

Made By Hand Show – Mississauga Ontario 2013

Well Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening! (In my best Jim Carey impersonation)

Today was a packed day of fun and excitement! I had an awesome opportunity to do a Review for the MADE BY HAND show, in Mississauga. We were contacted through our Fan page on Facebook to do this Review! And I was thrilled to be able to do it! I just started as a Reviewer for WAHM two days before. Mind you the event was not going to take place until Oct 19^th, 2013. (I still had a few months to wait for the event).

I was invited to join in on the Facebook group of the all of the vendors. Hearing their excitement as the days approached got me more excited than I already was. It is a HUGE undertaking organizing this event. From Start to Finish, to getting goody bags ready for the first 250 families walking through the door.

Having volunteers to help with set up, take down to helping throughout the day. It’s a HUGE job to run and event as BIG as this one.

With my adrenaline pumping, we set off on our way. I set out for the hour drive from Brantford to Mississauga at the International Center. Made by Hand was very generous to let my 2 girls, my better half, and I had free tickets, to attend the event and write a review for Jacqueline Hunter.

I had a difficult time selecting pictures to add. They were all so good! (Trust me there was a lot over 500+). Remember as well for the business that were there, make sure to get into contact with me or another one of our reviewers so we can help you with a review as well on your own business.

I found this online, it is from Roger’s TV. It is a TV clip with Made by Hand show in it! Go check it out!

For everyone interested in the names of the businesses that took place here is an online catalog. issuu.com/publisher-ps/docs/mbhsprogram2013_fall_final

 

My children were very amazed at all of the different tables, and craft items. WE were even able to see a table with “MUTANT STUFFIES”. From a Three headed Cerebra’s, to a Kitty Caterpillar with 6 legs. , Three headed Dalmatians to boot too!

 

I had a very kind person mention to me that I should head on over to the Rocks Afire booth. It sure did peek my curiosity to say the least. It was amazing! Natural stones from around Ontario made into candles, just add a bit of fragrant oils and your set! Now that is something I must have.

 

In terms of selection it was great. There was of course handmade baby items, soap and jewellery makers each had their own flair and style to them. Each vendor I found was unique and creatively set up and very shoppable.  I found some vendors with interesting items and grabbed some cards to research them further at home. I made some personal purchases, too! Everyone was friendly and very eager to talk about their products and their love for their businesses and for the Made by Hand show. They also mentioned they would love to come back anytime.

I had a great talk with Jack, from Scroll Art by Jack. Jack has been a vendor ever since the Made by Hand show had its amazing beginning. Jack Morrell took about 30 minutes to chat with me about his business and why he loved this event. He started his business just after his wife passed away and it was only him and his dog. “I needed to find something to keep myself busy” Jack mentions. “I had all the tools, and time.” When the show began 5 years ago he knew he had something, something that meant a lot for him and his clients. You will see some of his works of art in part 2 on YouTube. He has amazing talent. A lot of his items  grabbed my attention that is forsure. I loved the Stompin Tom picture (if you are not sure who I am talking about make sure to Google him)  I am also a huge Betty Boop fan, loved the Faith woodcarving as well. He will also be at the Hamilton Made by Hand show, Make sure to stop by and say HI.

I have also uploaded onto YouTube, please come check it out – Part #1 –

and part #2
