This is very new, so I'm reviewing early, but it is just what I was looking for. I like black hoses--I don't like hoses in the obvious colors like bright green or blue or white. This earth tone will blend very well with the bark mulch and soil in the front garden so it can sit behind one of the trellises unnoticed. The extra reinforced spigot end is comforting. The 25 foot length is just right for the "rowhouse garden" we call home.

This one's been on my "to read" list for years until I finally got around to it recently. I always wanted to know what differentiated a truly great company from the also-rans. The book is incredibly well researched and details what makes a great leader, for example. Surprisingly the "Level 5" leaders were the lower key executives - not at all like Steve Jobs. These CEO's also placed a premium on getting the "right people on the bus" and found ways to keep them motivated so they'd stay at the company. Perhaps one of the biggest takeaways for me was how to create a culture of discipline - which frees you and your employees up - creates less bureaucracy and increases your competitive edge.
