Windmills and water mills are truly the wonders of anearlier era, the wooden technology of yesteryear.
To us, they may be graceful and charming relics. To the
colonists, however, they were a vital necessity. Colonial
craftsmen constructed them to mill grain, saw wood, pump
water, and do various other jobs. Furthermore, the mill was
the gathering place for the villagers. While they waited for
their grain to be milled, the villagers exchanged news and
gossip and stories. Millers were well respected not only for
their mill s output but also for their own weather forecasts,
knowledge of engines and machines, and, of course,
up-to-date news.
Long Island is an ideal place for catching the steady wind
from the ocean and bays: 125 miles long, narrow only
20 miles across at its widest, and relatively flat. Thus, many
windmills were built here and still exist here, particularly
at the island s east end. As a matter of fact, the south fork
of eastern Long Island contains the greatest number of
surviving windmills in the United States. Before 1700,
Long Island also had many water mills, some of them
powered by the tide."

Nice quality ESV 2 column Bible
Format: Leather Bound
Nice soft cover. It is smaller than the hardcover ESV journaling bible I have, which isn't necessarily a problem. This is also a two column bible. The font is 7pt, so it is fairly small. It's also fairly squarish at about 6.5x7.5inches. The strap comes separate, which is nice because if you don't want to have to tie and untie your Bible every time you want to open it, you can just leave it off. There is only one ribbon, but I honestly tend to use bookmarks more than ribbons anyway. There is also a pen loop inside to hold a normal-sized pen (probably won't fit a large one)
Content
- Ownership page - not dedication, just this Bible belongs to
- An invitation to the journaling Bible
- Copyright page - printed in China, 2001 version
- Contents
- Why Read the Bible - 1 page
- What the Bible Says About - 5.5 pages giving scripture references for various topics
- Preface - Standard ESV Preface
- Explanation of Features - short 1-page note about things like textual footnotes and cross-reference footnotes
- The Old Testament - 2 page introduction followed by the text
- The New Testament - 2 page introduction followed by the text
- Plan of Salvation - just over 3 pages
- Introductions to the Books of the Old Testament - It seems weird that they are at the end and not with the actual books. There are about 5 introductions per page, so they are really short
- Introductions to the Books of the New Testament - Same note as above. Is it really an introduction if it is at the end?
- Through the Bible in a Year Reading Plan - Daily dated reading plan that includes OT, Psalms, and NT each day. It will have you read through the OT once, Psalms twice, and NT twice

Works great, easy to assemble.
Size: 2 Tier-9.5''Wx10.5''Dx9.5''H
I bought this to try and contain our cabinet clutter. It works really well. Was easy to assemble.
I use it on the countertop instead of inside of the cabinets. Looks nice enough to sit out.
Will buy 1 more in the coming days.
The storage areas pull out, makes for easy access.

Awesome Spice Rack!
Size: 2 Tier-13.5''Wx10.5''Dx9.5''H
This works perfectly. I bought two as I have a lot of spices. Do need to remember that the height needed for unit is 9 inches, but with full size spice jars on top rack, you need at least 11 inches. Otherwise it works great. Smooth movement of the drawers. Very sturdy and stable.

A good value, works well.
Size: 1 Tier-8.5''Wx10.5''Dx2.5''H, Size: 1 Tier-8.5''Wx10.5''Dx2.5''H
It works great, and a good value for the price. Super easy to install, comes with a template (you probably wont need), screws and a screw driver. Easy peasy It will not affect the performance, but it is a little flimsy. Great service and price. Quality packaged as well.
