Title: Press play for first 4 songs then hit Eject!
The only good songs on this CD are the first 4 (We Gon' Make It, The Future, Hold Up, Come To Me). The rest is uninspired filler. Mary J Blige, Nas, and Brandy are wasted on mediocre tracks. Puffy never had much of a flow but the first 4 songs are really banging, some of his best work. Too bad he couldn't sustain the quality through the other 15 tracks

Title: Good In Theory
This book gets a 5 star rating in theory and parenting styles. However, there are a few contradictions in the reading (minor but there) and unless your baby is the picture perfect infant (no colic, reflux, pyloric stenosis, etc.) then the book probably is not for you. Just keep in mind that a lot of what is out there will all be different and tell you different ways to parent. In other words no one book is right, especially this one. Makes a good coster though.

Title: Bleachers
I went to my schools library and I asked the librarian what was a good book for me to read. She asked me what I liked and I said sports, or something that will keep my attention the whole time I read. So she introduced me to the book Bleachers. I started to read it in class and I didn't want to put it down. It kept me thinking on what was going to happen. Or what happened. The book has a lot of life's lessons in it. How to deal with issues. Me being an athlete I understood what Neely went through. On how the coach doesn't do things to hurt you but does them to help you. It also says to live life to the fullest and do what you love and you won't have many regrets. That is exactly what coach rake did. He did what he wanted to do. That was coach football. He coached for 34 years and he only had to regrets. That to me puts the book in perspective.

Title: bargaincell - more like hasslecell
I did not receive the correct item. When notified of the problem, they sent this email: "Thank you for contacting us. A replacement order has been set up, it will take about 48 hours to process. Once it has shipped out you will receive tracking information via email. Please ship back the item with the prepaid label that is included with the replacement package. Have a nice day!"A replacement order was not set up. I did not receive tracking info or hear anything else for weeks. When I contacted them again, they said that, "due to back order issue your replacement order was not processed." This is extremely unprofessional. If you expect timely service or the correct item, do not order from bargaincell!I tried to give them no stars in my review, but it forced me to rate it at least one star.

Title: Bad science, bad book
What John Darnton doesn't know about science is a lot.He has apparently never spent any time in a laboratory. He doesn't understand very elementary aspects of laboratory work. When his female lead is fixing slides, and then observing them under a microscope, she can see the cells moving and dividing. Well, fixed cells are dead cells. They don't do much except sit there.Mr. Darnton had a character state that scientists are logical and organized. As someone who has worked in a research lab for many years, I have met very few scientists who are either.I won't even mention the many other logical inconsistencies.Many reviewers have praised this book's ability to present scientific theories in an understandable way. Please, do not believe any of the science presented in this book. It is not science. It is not credible. It is simply made up.

Title: New York.....
Another good season that leaves you wanting more. Every episode is filled with drama and suspense.They drop one character that I thought should have been kept...gave us one that can take a hike. Hardly any story about the characters themself, only story lines. Danny loses his mind for an episode or two.

Title: The water bottle killed my hampster
I got my daughter a Robo and this cage for Christmas, and a short 3 weeks later the hamster died of dehydration. The water bottle that comes with this has some sort of spring inside that prevented the hamster from being able to drink. It was my first hamster, and very small, so I didn't notice that the water level wasn't moving at all.Fortunately, the cage does have some redeeming qualities. The wheel is pretty neat, as it spins around, and the removable "look out" is a good idea. If you oil the wheel when you clean it, it stays pretty quiet.All in all, it's ok, I'm just pretty pissed that now I have to explain to my 6 year old that an engineer killer her hamster.

Title: Japanese ladies wrestling in tiny loincloths. Great!
The 5 stars are for the wrestling scenes featuring Kei Mizutani- there's not much else in the film you'll want to watch after your first viewing. She wrestles a glamorous older lady at the very start of the film, and has a grudge match with her character's former lesbian lover towards the end. There's also a soft-core lesbian scene and a shower scene that you might enjoy. Kei and her opponents look wonderful in their tiny sumo loincloths,and there can be few things more pleasurable to watch than a couple of beautiful Japanese ladies wrestling and slapping each other in the near nude.

Bought one to get me through college, it makes good coffee and is reliable. However i recomend not using the mesh filter that comes with it. 1, the water does go through it right and makes for bland coffee and 2, its a pain to clean. just go get some regular paper filters that are for 4 cup makers and you will be fine

Title: Going Back in time?
This book was pretty good. I thought it was pretty funny and lots of people think that some things were not realistic but hey it could happen. I have been reading THE Saddle Club books for a long time and I think almost all the books are wonderful. One thing I don't like....1. The cover! I know your not supposed to judge a book by it's cover and you souldn't but the drawings/paitings were much better and the girls in the real pictures look way too young and the girls are acting a little younger too. I have a good suggestion...try the series PINE HOLLOW, when they are older I am sure you will like those.

Title: Yuck
I should have listened to the other reviews, but a friend had mentioned trying -- and loving -- a product like this (I can only guess it was another brand) and it sounded *so* good. If I had been able to to tolerate the saltiness long enough, perhaps there would have been spiciness. I can't overstate just how salty and gross these were. Perhaps the mango beneath was tasty -- I cannot attest to that. I believe another reviewer mentioned "taming" these down by wiping off some of the coating. I can't imagine how one would approach that task, as it really is very well-adhered. If anyone can suggest a better brand, I'd love to know of it -- this combo sounds like it could be wonderful if handled right.

Title: Review of Seller Northern Tools , Not Product!
If you order this from Northern Tools be careful. I ordered and received an email notice that estimated delivery date would be 7 days. I rented scaffolding for the week of the est. delivery for painting the exterior of my house, which was a bad idea. After 1 month of patiently waiting and still no product, I called Northern Tools and was told that product was not in stock and told me should be in any day. Another 2 weeks went by and received an email that my order was canceled because they could not get the unit in stock.Horrible customer service. Would have been nice if they would have called and explained the problems with my order.

In life there are many things people dont like to admit. For instance, the fact that root beer tastes like toothpaste. Not that that is a bad thing. But I digress. People also do not want to admit that if suicidal tendencies and system of a down had a child with downs syndrome, and he were to start a band, it would sound a lot like death by stereo.

Title: Great design but most likely contains BPA. Gerber refuses to change.
Really liked these bottles but found out they potentially contain BPA. Upon calling Gerber they stand behind not removing BPA due to insufficent studies. This was before Canada banned the products. They still ride the hardline and refuse to reproduce these without BPA.The nipples were good and luckily they sell those by themselves so I bought those and used them with Evenflo BPA free bottles.I feel it's better to err on the side of caution and stay away from BPA. Especially since a country banned it..(Canada).

This is a great product that will recover files not only on your hard drive, but also in your camera and memory stick. It also has an "incinerate" feature to truly destroy files. However, you will get more for your money if you buy IOLO System Mechanic Pro- it contains Search and Recover 2 as well as Kapersky Firewall and Antivirus and a few other useful utilities. Just don't use the disk defragmenter that comes with it- it sucks!

Title: Ma-snore-onna
Hey Mommies and daddies! If you really want an excellent bed time story, read this! This story is guarenteed to put any child to sleep as fast as you can say LEMMONY SNICKETT. I am a kids librarian, and this even put me to sleep! I mean, this is a lot better than her English Roses disaster. I am not saying that she is a bad writer. This is an interesting version of an ancient fable, but she is too wordy. Children cannot comprhend (...), so what makes Madonna assume that they can understand her text? The illustration makes up for her story. Inspired by Norman Rockwell, and Edward Hopper artist Loren Long is a remarkable talent. The art work brings Madonna's characters to life and makes the reader feel as if they are in the midwest during 1949. I would like to see this illustrator publish her own art work in a book. It would make an excellent coffee table book.

Title: This Book Could Have Been Great, BUT...
In the afterword, Carr thanks his agent for getting him this assignment. You got to be kidding, man. Who in their right mind would 'assign' somebody a novel? I blame the publishers for fumbling the ball on this one. The idea was great, but the follow-through was horrific.The publishers, if they had any guts, should have fired the writer and hired someone with real talent and imagination and story-telling ability. I would rather read John Grisham's interpretation of this idea. I would at least be entertained....

Title: A Violent Way to Raise a Child
I was horrified by this book. I am a Christian who does believe in spanking, but only when all other forms of discipline have failed. The "rod" in the Bible does not necessarily mean "something to spank your child with." I've always thought of it as another word for discipline or correction. Tripp advocates spanking an 8 month old baby. If you do this, all your child will know is that Mommy(or Daddy) hurts her. I agree with other reviewers that spanking for every offense is a lazy way to parent. I do not agree with their outrage over children being sinful from conception. That is clearly stated in the Bible a number of times. If you are looking for good ideas on correcting your children, I suggest you check out "Creative Correction" by Lisa Whelchel. She has a lot of good, non-violent, ways to shepherd your child's heart.

I thought most of the tracks were great, but the one track that I really bought this CD for was the RADIO VERSION, which I happen to LUV, of "Goodbye To You".

Title: Price seems to keep getting more expensive
My friend's dog really loves these chews - the chews themselves are fabulous. However, they keep getting more expensive and harder to find, which makes them less and less of a value, both because of the time to locate them (and their myriad similar products - more than once the wrong ones were purchased, tho I don't think the dog seemed to mind), along with the price. I would definitely recommend them for large dogs who go through smaller chews like they were nothing.

Title: Too little eclipse - too much Java
I had hoped to find in this book the things I had not found out between the weeks I was started using Eclipse and the arrival of the book. I thought that it would detail in to the nitty gritty details that cost you hours to find out.Even though it covers Eclipse it seems more a Java programmer manual. The examples used in the book are a speech synthesis program and some Eclipse plugins. The problem is that way to many pages cover the code of the examples and the way to program them.If I had wanted to find out about those thing I would have bought a book about that. I wanted a book that told me about Eclipse, not about how to write a program.

Title: Chalked full of features, but fell short on audio capability.
This TV/Monitor is great for the price. I bought this for about $179 from TigersDirect (after various discounts). I use this as a TV and the picture quality is spectacular, A+.However, the audio quality really blows, really.... it really sucks. I thought I could deal with it, but it is just unacceptable. As such, I went to RadioShack and got a 2.1 speaker system and now it works great.The monitor's sleek black finish is appealing, stylish and will accent any room.In sum, this TV's picture quality makes all the difference despite the short comings of the audio capability. If you can get one of these for a good price and don't mind external speakers, then I would certainly recommend this TV.

Title: Can't a writer be multi-dimensional?
From reading all these negative reviews, I have to wonder if a writer is permitted to stretch his talents and try new things.I can hear the assembled cries now, "Bring back the guts and the horror. Bring back psychopaths and dripping eye fluid and cateclysmic apocalypse."If that's your attitude, read some Brian Lumley or something...You can like Salem's Lot and like this too. It's OK. Really.And, no, this isn't the greatest thing he's ever written, but I liked it. I thought it was fascinating and sort of sweet, yet always suspenseful.Give the guy a break. He is a savvy observer and chronicler human behavior. He writes interestingly.I guess it comes down to the fact that no matter how good Elton John is at writing musicals, people will always clamor for Don't Go Breaking My Heart.Sort of sad, really.

Title: Workout? what workout?
I wouldn't consider this a workout--unless you call "marching in place" exercise. I was hoping to learn some dance moves while I burned calories, but I got neither. The instructor moves WAY too fast and doesn't spend enough time teaching the moves. And even if you can master the moves, the workout itself isn't strenuous enough to really get any results. I seriously doubt that any of the other "class members" got their rock-hard bodies from doing this workout. That brings me to my last complaint--the Crunch people. They look like strippers. What's wrong with using real people like Billy Blanks' Tae Bo videos?! It's much less intimidating. I'm thinking of keeping this to try and learn the moves in case I ever go to Miami(maybe I can play the DVD in slow motion?), but I won't be using it as an exercise video.

Title: Stopped reading after 300 pages
First off, I had all the best intentions when I went to read this book. I really enjoyed the movie, so I thought I would read the story and get more of an experience out of it. Wrong. The books are boring, Yes, I understand all of the religious allegory, and I get the 'hidden' meanings. The story doesnt flow, it doesnt want to make you turn the page. If he could have used a little bit of subtlety in hiw writing it would have been better. EVERYONE gets it that the witch is BAD, but the author doesnt LET you figure that out. Over and over again he states things like 'the witch did not understand her magic; as most witches dont' Crappy, boring writing. I know its religious, and for some reason people equate that with intelligent writing, but this is not. Read something else

Title: PLEASE SHOOT ME IF I EVER LOOK AT ROXIO AGAIN
I swore off Roxio in version 4.0. Then I forgot why and forked out the bucks for Easy CD Creator 6.I installed v 6.0 yesterday and now I remember why: It's like making a deal with the devil.The program un-hid two hidden Dell partitions; it would not recognize my Sony DVD RW drive (510A); my Dell 4550 now crashes every few hours, even after I uninstalled Roxio and threw the thing away (surely my computer can sense that I threw it away!). The program obviously planted something in my registry or my Windows folder that can't be removed on un-install. Now I'll probably have to re-format my C: drive and re-install everything. So there's a day of my life sucked up because I fell for the Roxio juggernaut.Why, oh why do we keep falling for this idiocy?

Title: Here's the whole story;
The first 13 songs are a compilation of demos and pre-releases.The remaining 8 songs are from 'friends and strangers' (thus the title).There's quite a diversity of music. It ranges from live acoustic guitar and piano to studio sesions ranging in style from humor, to rockabilly, to Beach Boys and more.The production quality is up to par (except for maybe the two live tracks), but listeners will be impressed with the diversity and find themselves whistling a tune or two after listening.

Title: Ear Piercing Shriek = RMA Return
This is the 2nd PCIx1 sound card that I bought for the same Gigabyte motherboard. The first card, an Asus Xonar card, crashed while playing certain games. So, I bought the tried and true Creative. After about 5 minutes of use it emitted an ear-piercing scream - along the lines of a smoke alarm, or building fire alarm. I tried different ports, disconnecting the I/O drive - reinstalling the software - typical things one does to try to avoid the RMA process. Amazon tells me that the replacement is enroute, and I hope that the new one doesn't give me the same problem - because if it does then I'd be looking at replacing the motherboard, assuming then that the sound card isn't the problem. If it does reoccur then I'll try the card in another pc to see what happens. Also, since my experiences with Vista have been less than stellar I've only used XP so I can't report on Vista performance.

Title: bad in concert
I saw something about Howie Day on MTV and downloaded some songs and absolutely loved them. About a month ago I went to Pittsburg and saw him play at the clark's concert. He sounded great, but he's kind of boring to watch in concert. Buy the CD though.. he has great lyrics and a kickass voice.

Title: The bottom of the barrel ...
Fellow fans, I've read all but one of the Star Wars novels released to date and this has got to be the absolute worst. Vonda McIntyre is another mid-pack Star Trek author who can't begin to capture the 'feel' of Star Wars and has no business writing a book set in this universe. Her plot doesn't come close to fitting in with this series and the characters (the few she bothers to include) are barely recognizable as portrayed.Consider yourself warned. I can honestly say this book has no redeeming qualities. Not a single one.

Title: "Acquiring Signal" for eternity
I purchased this receiver in December 2005. It worked like a champ until February 2006 when it began to have issues with decoding the satellite signal.The unit works for five minutes from cold start up, then the audio cuts out. Display still shows program info. Being an experienced PC user, I turned the unit off and back on, repeatedly. The message "Acquiring Signal" displays permanently, even though the Antenna Aiming screen shows full SAT and TER signal bars.My best guess is that a ROM or RAM chip cooked. This unit runs hot! JVC has been less than helpful. It sucks to have to landfill a $100 piece of hardware, but no one will touch it. It's my last purchase from JVC.Glad I didn't purchase the Sirius "lifetime" license!

Title: sends a questionable message
I bought this book based on its description, thinking it would be a great little story about accepting people's differences. However, after a couple of times through, I gave up trying to put a favorable spin on it for my little girl. While it is a fairly entertaining little story, it is marred for us by the message that David's father is acceptable because he is so big and frightening that he scares people into giving the children what they want. David's father is cool because he's a bully? It seems to me we already have too many "might makes right" stories.

Title: Relating this book to clinical practice
This book is one of the main sources of ideas and techniques that I currently employ when working in a group scenario. The client base with which I work are mainly adults who are experiencing an acute psychiatric episode. It allows for a large variance in the abilities of clients and invites the practitioner to modify techniques and methods to best suit the group he/she is working with. Most of the activities described require a minimal amount of equipment and the instructions are clearly set out and easy to follow. My only critism is that perhaps it lacks detail in explaining the theory behind some of the more complex groups.

Although I am a big fan of Ms. Kearsley and her books, this one just didn't grab me the way the others have. I plowed through it anyway, simply because I wanted to give the book a chance. When I had finally finished it, I was happy because the chore was done! Kearsley's other books are much better, especially her first, "Marianna".

Title: This beginner felt woefully inadequate
This is really hard for beginners. He holds poses for extended periods so that the viewer can fully appreciate and take in the posture. But I found holding some of the poses very trying on my out-of-shape muscles. There are no modifications shown. If you can't fully do the poses, it can become very frustrating and defeating quickly. As a beginner, I won't be doing this video again.

I picked up this book after seeing some good reviews about it.The whole book is about "Strategic Reflection Point".I was disappointed that Andy Grove didn't try to explain SRP in a more concrete manner.

Title: Fun, but strictly for kids
Snow day is an OK movie. But adults may find it a bit boring. It is by the way a nickelodeon movie, so it aims at younger viewers. Despite it is only 89 mins, 84 mins for the features and 5 minutes for the credit, the movie feels a bit long. Not enough Chevy Chase, so the funny moments are limited as well. The younger actors' give excellent performances. The DVD's picture quality is OK and the 5.1 Dolby Digital has very limited activities. It worths to be watched once not to keep. Just rent this one.

Title: Anne of Green Gables
I was really disapointed in the presentation of the DVD. It doesn't even have chapter selection on the DVD menu. The point of getting the DVD was to have those amenities that DVD's offer and I had to fastfoward slowly through the movie until I got to the scene where I had last left off. Since the only difference between the VHS version and the DVD is the Cd itself, i felt that it was extremely overpriced. However, it is a wonderful story and I very much enjoyed watching it again. :)

Title: Works fine but . . .
I recently bought this coffee maker (Krups Type 536) to replace an old Krups Type 321. The new one works fine but there are two items you may want to know before you buy this one. One, there are no markings on the pot to show the number of cups. I find this inconvenient when I am filling it with water from my water cooler. Two, the lid of the pot does not snap into place like my old one so I find that it falls off occasionally. Other than that it works fine.

Title: Its early but good
I like it and its doing well, I'm concerned about the choking hazard/ magnet hazard. What kind of watch needs that sort of warning and what sort of electronic includes magnets? i was under the assumption that those two didn't go well together. Also on the back it says MADE IN CHINA while on the buckle it says CASIO thailand, I thought CASIO was a Japanese company?? could this be a fake? on the model code they add CG after the V i assume stands for Classic G-shock but on the Casio website it doesn't include that. I recommend spending 20$ more on the real thing.

Title: Flimsy junk
Looks like it would be a great spoon in the picture, so between that and the reviews, I bought it. It is worse than the things I was hoping to replace. Not only that, some reviewer mentioned for one of the stainless steel models (same spoon, just no nylon) that it is a lunch lady's spoon. The line is NOT. The scoop of the spoon is so tiny that it is useless. When you add the flimsiness to it, they're worthless for cooking a huge potful of heavy eats.

Title: Misleading title, beware
This is not a "How to" book, despite its title. The advice it presents are few and rather superficial, and mostly bunched into the last few pages.This is more of a descriptive study and self-knowledge guide, with half of the book consisting of various tests and their solutions. Some of these tests are rather instructive, but IMHO they have little to do with the subject of training your chess thought. Of course, doing the excercises will improve your play, so this is not a useless book.This is definitely not for the beginner. You will also need an interest in psychology and the associated jargon to enjoy this book.

Title: Primera Monopoly
The ink supplies for the Primera Printers are expensive and not widely distributed. I find that there are hints of a monopoly going on here and I'm concerned that their products are over-priced and their distributors are somewhat exclusive. Another misgiving is the continuous software updates which are pricey and rarely needed.

Title: A lot to learn about the great Woman here.
It is without doubt that Ms Hughes is great historian, knows her subject as well as it is possible to do and has researched Elliot thoroughly from a range of complex and interesting sources.I would have personally expected the book to be a little tidier and to have greater flow and life than it does. I was not looking for sensation and fibs, Elliot's life was unconventional enough to set the pages alight; but they are instead rather damp. Still you cannot fail to learn much of this great Woman and the inspiration for her great works, from this weighty work.

Title: A no brainer if your bored and there is nothing eles to read
I was so excited to read this book. Into the 2nd chapter I could hardly believe what I was reading, Wuthering Heights? I had to check the cover of the book again. The only reason I finished it was sheer curiosity. I was most amazed at the character of Marchs husband, Richard. What man would let a woman he loves just leave without doing one damn thing? Especially when she is with a man like Hollis and Richard knew what kind of man he was. The characters were weak. I yearned for more depth in all of them. The ending was horrible. Your telling me that after all March went through with Hollis that she would not have been in the last few pages.( I do'nt want to give the ending away in case someone still wants to read it.) Right! It was easy to read and I did read it quickly. Hoping that it would get better. Did Oprah really read this book?

I received this book as a gift and tried to get my daughter on the suggested schedule. What a mistake! Her weight gain was slow and we were both miserable.

I feel robbed to have spent the first weeks of my newborn's life trying to adhere to this ridiculous advice. I suggest Breastfeeding Made Simple to any first time moms looking for natural advice on how to breastfeed.

The hard informational content of this book could be presented on a single sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper. Then again, I'd be delighted to pay [money] for it if it showed me how to pick stocks with a 40% annual return. I don't know about you but I have hard time remaining unemotional when promised a 40% return!Of course, the real question is: does it work? Well, I haven't risked any of my money trying it out. (Do you think I'm nuts?) But even the author admits his theory is based on only 10 years of data. Whoa! I'll be getting off the bus right here, thanks...(For what it's worth, the author seems like a nice guy who really believes in his baby, so I take no joy in one-starring his book. I hope he gets his 40%.)

I bought this game sight unseen on the advice of a friend.

Title: A one-sided view of a great general
I have to admit I read this book with great expectations. I thoroughly enjoy reading about ancient history. I was to be greatly disappointed. The only reason I give this book a "3" rating is because of the interesting commentary on the terrain Mr. Wood & co. went over to retrace Alexander's steps and the wonderful photographs. The author seems to have a decidedly "Persian" or "non-Greek" view. He accepts without hesitation the views of the indigenous peoples from the regions Alexander conquered and any greek accounts of Alexander that are negative, while being 'a priori' suspicious of any pro-Alexander view given. Mr. Wood calls these first-hand reports propaganda, dismissing them outright. I would recommend anyone wanting a balanced view of the great general Alexander to read "Alexander the Great and His Time" by Agnes Savill. I would also suggest that Mr. Wood read it as well.

Title: Imaginative, but not Bjork's best
Bjork rules...no doubt that she is ahead of her time and one can always expect the enigmatic. However, not her best work to date. Definitely surpasses the pop flava of the week ANYDAY!

Title: Hilarious Gen X take on modern culture
There are two reasons to read this book and two reasons to not read this book. Firstly, the style of writing. The writing is wonderful. I enjoy the style. You really get the feeling that a highly intelligent Gen X journalist is sitting there in your living room in his jeans ant T-shirt and telling you his observations. If that style drives you crazy (in a bad way), you will know it from the sample and can save your money. If that styles drives you crazy (in a good way), you will know it from the sample and safely give B&N your money. Secondly, the wise observations of our modern world. His observations of the absurdity and ridiculousness of current culture is astute. Yes, he over-analyzes, but he does so in an entertaining way. If you think modern mainstream media and culture is awesome, then avoid this like a zombie plague. If you think modern mainstream media and culture are absurd, then this will be a very entertaining and enlightening read.

Title: Visionary Sci-fi Fantasy Film hobbled in it's narrative flow "4.5 stars"
Great speculative & satirical sci-fi plot & film making lurks underneath uneven narrative. Souls coming back into cloned bodies in an utopian totalitarian run society full of people feeling like 'ghosts' are what this film is about.It's very cool, unfortunately it isn't evenly fleshed out in the film due to studio story telling adjustments, so what you have is a bit of a mix at times in narrative but the main skeleton of a very well done & naunced classic satirical fantasy film is here in all departments never the less.Charlize Theron makes for a great acrabatic dissident assassin Aeon in one of the films many strong points.If there was a completed Directors cut that fulfills alot of the visionary ambition throughout much of the film, it would be a sci-fi/fantasy classic i would have guessed.

Title: dissatisfied
I received the skillet as a christmas gift. It was paid for with my credit card.The heating element must be faulty, as the coils don't turn red. It takes so long to cook anything. The bottom, (teflon coated), is bubbling and I believe the teflon is coming off. I use wood or vinyl cooking utensils on it and it looks bad to me. The fact that the coils are not getting red, even at 400 degrees, leads me to think that have a faulty skillet. I feel that I should get my money back or a replacement. I am sure to put the pan on the coils properly but it is just a terrible disappointment to me as I have not had bad luck with other rival products I have bought. what or who do I contact to find some resolution to this problem? Your help and advice will be truly appreciated. Phyllis Truscott e-mail [email protected]

Title: Toasts likes it looks - cool
We replaced a 700 yr-old toaster finally and chose Cuisinart for the name and looks. Such superficiality has its inevitable rewards. This machine cannot accomplish the basic function of turing bread brown with any consistency. The first slice is too dark, the second too light. The hilarious rocket launch pop-up feature gets old after three times or so. Start your English muffin before you get the eggs out of the frig in order to eat them together. We are now debating how much longer we have to use this alleged toaster until we can justify a new (different) one.

Title: Chris Cooper is worth it
Ryan Philliipe is not bad as the fake choir boy set on the older mentor figure to suss out his secrets. But it's Chris Cooper who delivers the goods as the anguished CIA operative whose languishing career leads him to that side of the fence which leads to inevitable soul searching.

Title: Check with your local police department
I took my car to the Police department to have the baby seat inspected, the police told me that this product is not safe to use. It will allow movement of your child in the car seat. They told me to just throw it away. I am taking it back to the store to get a credit.

Title: no improvements from season 1
The crew is only given 2 days to clean out the houses and this leaves every job incomplete. There should be follow up interviews with every participant to round out the story.

Title: Not so Fast!
What is it nowadays that criminals like Kevin Weeks gets to write and publish books for the masses. Whitey Bulger is still loose and people like Kevin Weeks probably know where he is. I don't have much sympathy for Weeks. He hates Howie Carr probably because he reports the truth as he knows it to be. Anyway I read Howie's book which I recommend. I thought New Jersey had too many criminals mingled in politics. I was wrong because Massachusetts had the Bulger Brothers. Regardless of how different they are, both brothers abused their power for themselves. One, Whitey, far more than his brother in politics who also got away with crimes but I don't think murder. Anyway I am giving it two stars.
