At City Hair Removal we pride ourselves on offering a personal service. Here is just a selection of testimonials from our happy clients.
I recommend City Hair removal to anyone looking to permanently get rid of unwanted hair, I has initially started getting laser hair removal at another clinic in London, I am of Asian origin so have darker skin and I had been getting IPL, this proved to be un-effective as the technician had to go on such a low setting as to not burn me, that it hardly did anything and the hair would grow back as normal within a few weeks. Since coming to City Hair removal, I have been informed by my laser technician that IPL is very risky on darker skin and that the risks of burning are very high. I am grateful for the honest information and great service from this clinic. I have had about 6 treatments of laser hair removal and most of the hair is gone permanently! I had not expected such drastic results and I'm over the moon! Thanks Lisa GT
April, 2014
Love the location efficient hair removal treatments great result could be seen right after the first laser hair removal treatment. Lucy always been professional and nice. Thanks Crystal
February, 2014
The central location of this clinic makes it ideal for those with busy lifestyles centred around London. The clinic is easily accessible, offering both stairs and a lift for clients. The friendly atmosphere allows for a more enjoyable experience, being greeted upon arrival by staff who are more than willing to help. The interior is modern, offering both a clean and comfortable visit. I received an hair removal treatment in the clinic, by senior practitioner Lucy. The treatment and the experience were far superior than any I have received during my attempt to remove my unwanted body hair. The treatment was of a high standard, having researched the treatment before I attended the clinic I was happy with the knowledge of the practitioner regarding the laser therapy. She tested my skin on two different lasers, both being suitable for my skin, enabling me to receive the most effective treatment. The results were fantastic, I was initially told I may not see results immediately; however despite this the results were noticeable after just one treatment on my underarm and upper lip. I am currently half way through my treatments and am having to push the dates of my treatment back due to the lack of hair, clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of this treatment. I have been advised to keep some of the treatments for over 3 to 6 months and use them as top up treatments, which is extremely beneficial as they do not expire and I will not need to purchase more. In conclusion I would highly recommend this clinic, practitioner Lucy and treatment, having referred both friendly and family which in turn gained me discount on my packages.

I chose Cityhairremoval at Pulse Light Clinic because of proximity to work, the fact that they have a number of different laser/ipl machines so they would have one to suit my skin tone (I was particularly looking for the Nd:Yag), the availability of appointments outside of work hours, the friendliness of staff and online reviews. I think I had found 5 clinics close to work: one only did IPL, one only had the Alexandrite and they burnt my skin during the patch test, and another two who had the Nd:Yag and good reviews but I didn't get round to visiting - I wanted to get started as soon as possible because I wanted to have hair free-legs for the summer! Now that I am a client I like how friendly, accommodating and thorough you are and how comfortable I feel having the treatment with you. Thanks S.Z
August, 2013
Finished laser hair removal at Christmas after buying a full body package with amazing results. I started treatments in Australia which were really expensive. I now live in Manchester but work occasionally in London and I wanted to take advantage of the deal they had on so I started in 2011. I spaced treatments further apart than 6 weeks and had 8 on each area as well as a gap whilst I had a tan. My arms and bikini made a huge difference to my confidence, such a relief to be hair free!
July, 2013
I have suffered from ingrown hairs since I started shaving particularly on my underarms and bikini line, so was looking for an affordable place in London to have hair removal. I am really glad I found the Pulse Light Clinic. I am so relieved that I don't have to deal with those unsightly spots anymore since having laser hair removal. They really delivered everything that they promised and the staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. I was spending a fortune on lotions and creams to combat ingrown hairs and now I never have to think about shaving or waxing again. Hooray!! I would definitely recommend the cityhairremovalc if you are considering laser hair removal in London. Thanks Sonia
October, 2012
I would like to give a big big thank you to Lucy. She is a very patient and professional girl. She does hair removal on very sensitive areas and she knows how to calm me down and uses different ways to proceed which makes me feel a lot better. Because of that I have 100% confidence in her and will buy further treatments. I hope she will continue her good work and I look forward to seeing her again.
October, 2012
After having waxing for so many years I decided to get laser hair removal for my bikini area and oh my god the results have been fantastic. I found the treatment quick, simple and hygienic. City Hair removal (part of the Pulse Light Clinic) are very professional and were able to answer all my questions and worries I had before I had the treatment, so I found there was nothing to fear. I'd certainly recommend it over waxing any day!!! L.P.
June, 2012
The Cityhairremoval is a little gem in the heart of the city for laser hair removal. It was so handy to go there in my lunch hour and it is so reasonable priced for hair removal in London. The place is clean and the equipment is up to date. I was really impressed with the staff. The girl who did my hair removal was very friendly and informative so I felt very confident in the treatment. I have had four treatments and I don't need anymore which is fantastic. Some friends of mine have had laser hair removal in London in other clinics but didn't get the results or such knowledgeable staff treating them that I did so I'd definitely recommend the place.
April, 2012
During my thirties, the hair on my arm and neck began to grow excessively. Every day more and more hair appeared. I started to shave my arms regularly. This made my skin very prickly to the touch, which my wife hated. I tried waxing, to a local Beauty shop which was extremely painful, only lasted two to three weeks. I was so unhappy with my appearance. After few years I decided to tray laser hair removal. Ana was so understanding and honest about laser hair removal. She fully explained the possible side effects and was very honest about what to expect as my final results. After just three treatments, I didn't see a single hair grow back for three months.I just finished my last treatment, there is almost no hair on my arm and neck. My skin is smooth. My self-cofidence has increased immensely, and I can take off my shirt without embarrassment. I strongly recommend Ana and the Pulselightclinic. Thanks Robert

High Velocity AC systems
Hi, I had posted the below message on the Heating and AC forum but I figured I may get some responses here too since these systems are usually installed in older homes....
This is the first summer in our new home a 1945 colonial. . The previous owners had installed a high velocity system. Much to our chagrin the house doesn't cool down that much! The first floor seems to cool down better , but the second and third floor is just plain weak.
We have two condensers and two handlers . One that is just for the first floor and another one for the entire second and third floor. The air that is blowing out of the ducts is cold but we think the problem may lay in the fact that we don't seem to have enough ducts in each room. For ex: one Br that is approx 11'x14' has two ducts , and our LR which is around 14'x17' has 4 ducts. Not sure why they installed it like that?! Also we don't have ducts in our foyer and hallway either....?! Anyways, needless to say we are not happy with this situation. :( Just wondering if anyone has any input or suggestions on what we can do ...could we add more ducts and get a bigger condensor? Or it is what it is? Any opinions on your experience with these type of systems would be greatly appreciated
I had a high velocity system added to my 1925 house this spring. It has been wonderful. Based on your room sizes, the number of ducts appear fine. We have 2 or 3 ducts per room (15x15 to 10x10). Overall, I think the HVAC guy said 6 ducts per tonnage. We have a three ton unit, so we have 18 ducts on the 2nd and 3rd floors with one return on each floor.
Other than that, I think you may need to look into insulation and air sealing. We had that done two years ago and our HVAC bills have been the better for it. Finally, your system could be old or oversized, but overising is more for the HVAC board. It too complicated for me to explain. I do remember that bigger is not better for AC.
The inspector had mentioned the system is approx 10 years old ...is that considered "old"?
we have brand new windows so think the insulation is better than with the original windows.
I guess we just feel as if we need more ducts in each room so it can cool better ..these ducts are only 2" in diamter!
Can you recommend a site where we may find a tech in our area that is familiar with these systems? We are located in NYC
For comparison, here is a link to some unico (not affiliated) high velocity ac house plans.
Sample 1, for example, is a 3500 sq ft house with a cooling load of about 60000 btuh, and they've used 18 outlets and 3 returns. It seems a bit of a sprawling floor plan, so the number of returns might be more than needed in a more traditional stacked house (we're counting on one return on the first floor servicing the whole thing, but it just depends on the situation).
So, you could look at these as a starting point. There are so many variables in hvac--kind of makes it fun. Our third floor AC was performing terribly the month after we bought our house--until we figured out that the previous owners had set the thermostat on our attic vent fan to 175F!!! We turned it down to 90, attic is now vented regularly, ducts sit in a cooler space--voila! AC works like a champ. I hope your problem has such an easy fix.
You've probably already done this, but you should visually inspect every connection you can see in the system. We're housesitting for our neighbors while they're out of town. I happened to notice that I could see into their basement through a grate in the dining room. Odd, I thought, so I went down to investigate. In the basement, I find 8' of 12" flex return duct coiled in a heap on the floor under the return grate; the whole thing's come loose. I shudder to think what their heat was like if this had gone unnoticed all winter, feeding cold basement air into the system instead of simply boosting warmish return air--yikes!.
These installers are human with deadlines, and I can easily see a rushed connection failing and throwing off the system. I'm not defending it--heck, I work in quality assurance on projects that require high reliability. I just shake my head at what goes on in the "real world" where there is little inspection, oversight, or feedback on most people's daily work. In such a setting, I've learned that (no surprise) mistakes are the norm.
Here is a link that might be useful: High velocity ac plans
Forgot to say, plant some trees in strategic locations. Fast growers (other forums will have good suggestions but tulip poplar and birch come to mind) will start to affect your load calculations in less than 5 years, enhance the beauty and value of your properly (if properly sited), and increase your enjoyment too.

Originally written on Eagles Eye | Last updated 11/18/14
Brand-name pharmaceutical or generic? Which is more reliable? Is there a real difference? The debate rages on... Woe is me. The brand-name Safety I wanted for the to Eagles purchase in free agency has just been taken off the market. One player the Eagles likely had their eyes on had to be crossed of their list on Friday when the Buffalo Bills franchised safety Jairus Byrd. Bryd was one of the best Safeties in the league last year, and almost certainly would have been a target of the Eagles if he did hit the free agent market. He was a brand-name pharmaceutical... So we are left with a somewhat generic pool of talent if we want to go the FA route at Safety. Not that there is anything wrong with a generic stopgap solution...as long as the generic player can at least improve the position somewhat without making it worse. I consider DeMeco Ryans an example of a generic one-year medication which indicated out well at middle linebacker for the Birds last season. Coming off...

Tax collections continue to improve
City tax collections are up for 2010 compared to 2009 with the city tourism tax, or 2 percent tax up 5 percent for the year and the city sales tax up about 1 percent. (September 20, 2010, Page 1A)
Poor need more access to legal services
More attorneys need to offer their time to provide pro bono — or free — services to the poor.
That's just one of several recommendations outlines in the recently released report from the Access to Justice Commission which summarizes findings of five public hearings held around Mississippi.
City grants total $20K
The Oxford Tourism Council approved community grants to four events with a total of $20,000. The council also approved final reports from recipients of last year's grants although a motion to approve the Thacker Mountain Radio report from 2009 died from a lack of motion. (September 17, 2010, Page 1, 2a)
New shelter nears completion
The new Oxford Lafayette Humane Society animal shelter should be ready by mid-November with plans to move in by the new year. The shelter cost almost $700,000 with funds privately donated as part of the society's capital campaign and a portion donated from the city and county. (September 17, 2010, Page 1A)
Officials agree dead tree must be removed
A limb from the large water oak on the east side of the Lafayette County Courthouse fell at about 5:30 Saturday morning onto the wrought-iron fence the surrounds the courthouse. The weight of the limb was so heavy that about 2 feet of the fence buckled, looking as though a car had slammed into it instead of a tree limb.
Now Oxford and Lafayette County officials are scrambling to get the large tree that has provided cool shade on the Square since William Faulkner was a youngster removed before another limb — or the entire tree — falls. (September 16, 2010, Page 1)
United Way sets higher goal
The United Way scaled back its fundraising goal in 2008 in expectancy of lower donations due to a failing economy.
In 2007, the goal was $450,000. It was dropped to $425,000 in 2009.
"We blew it out the top, despite a tough economy, and raised $427,000," campaign chairman Jeff Triplette said at the United Way annual campaign kick-off luncheon on Wednesday. "That was above our goal."
This year's goal is $465,000. (September 16, 2010, Page 1)
Oxford OKs budget
The city of Oxford approved the 2011 fiscal year budget of $19.5 million while managing to maintain the city's millage rate at 27.27 – the same rate it has held since 2005. (September 16, 2010, Page 1, 5)
Tree Board plants seed for green initiative
The Oxford Tree Board is promoting its Releaf program as a way to rebuild the urban canopy in the city. Cowan Hunter talked about different things citizens and volunteers can do to work with the Tree Board and the program. (September 15, 2010, Page 1)
Crime drops in Oxford
In Oxford, all reported crimes in 2009 are lower than they were in the 2008, according to the FBI's annual Uniform Crime Report.
The report tracks crime statistics from cities and counties all over the country.
While Oxford Police Chief Mike Martin is pleased with the numbers, he said he expects them to climb a bit when the 2010 numbers are released next year.
"As many burglars as we've locked up this year, we are still having burglaries," Martin said. "We are working hard to be visible and keep this a safe place for our residents and visitors. But our crime has gone up this year. However, we are also recovering a lot of stolen property and making arrests which soothes that increase."
Martin said thieves might blame the increase in burglaries and thefts on the economy.
"I blame it on these skinny televisions," he said with a chuckle. "These things are so light, they can just pick up and carry them out the door with no effort." (September 15, 2010, Page 1)
Giving new life to an old home
City officials see a future for the historic Cedar Oaks home. Local leaders say the home if rezoned could be used for venues such as weddings, showers and club meetings. While the interior of the home would limit guests to 49 people, the grounds area could host larger events. To make the home more attractive as an event location, the city's conference and tourism staff asked the Oxford Board of Aldermen to allow the use of alcohol in the home during social functions. The aldermen approved the first reading and plan to hold a public hearing on Sept. 21. (September 14, 2010, Page 1)

Jenni was wanting a way to hook her iPod up to our Honda minivan so I came up with the cheap and easy fix. We could have bought one of the adapters that plugs into the cd changer port on the back of the factory radio, but it's a serious pain to pull out the radio and wire it up. I found this neat cassette adapter from Belkin and it is actually pretty cool. Check out the review of the tunedeck at ilounge. It's a iPod Nano dock that plays through the tape deck in your car. I bought 2 for under $75 from Newegg, one for each of our cars. And Jennifer even approves of how it looks!
Archives For Technology
I was just checking my blog stats on Google Analytics and found that my blog has been viewed literally around the world this year. I started this thing as a way to keep in touch with my family and friends and with the youth at church. I haven't really publicized it much, and it still doesn't have many subscribers, but it amazes me how many people stumble upon the site. So far this year I have had 1845 pageviews on the blog. Google has really changed how people use and find information on the web. I have listed all the different countries below from where people have viewed the site.
- United States (Of Course), Canada, Chile, Venezuela, and Mexico
- United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, France, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal
- India, Nepal, Japan, Hong Kong, Turkey, Kuwait, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand
- Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and South Africa
The encouraging thing to me is that we are seeing how God can use the internet and technology to reach people all around the world. I'm excited about coming up with new and innovative ways to use technology to help make disciples of Jesus Christ!
After a ton of research I finally pulled the trigger on buying a new camcorder to replace my old 8mm Sony. I settled on the new Sony DCR-SR300 and I have been impressed. This is a standard definition camcorder with a 40Gig hard drive built in. I have always hated mini-dv because of having to play the tape back to get the files off the camcorder. With this one, all I have to do is drag and drop the mpeg2 files off the camcorder onto my computer. And since the files are already in DVD mpeg2 format, you save serious time encoding DVD's.
But the best feature is that the camcorder is also advertised as a 6 megapixel camera as well. The sensor is really only a native 3 megapixel CMOS sensor, but it still takes really good pictures for a camcorder. It's got a powerful flash and with the 40gig hard drive, you can take tons of pictures. At Disney I took my Fuji camera and the camcorder. The first day, I took both to the park and switched back and forth. The camcorder worked so good that we left the camera at the hotel the rest of the week. It is really convenient to take both pictures and video with the same small unit. You can also take a few pictures while you are videoing. The video quality looks good, especially in daylight. It's a lot better in low light than my old camcorder, but it could be a little better. Overall, I plan on using this thing all the time.
The current trend in software development is open source. Basically, the programmers share the source code for the software programs to allow anybody with an interest to make it better. Linux is based on open source, as well as a number of new shareware type programs. Here is my desire. I want to see churches move toward open source creative resources. Creating graphics, motion backgrounds, intro movies, and web designs takes a tremendous amount of time. It requires time and resources that almost all smaller churches cannot afford. Just the software programs needed to create the content are beyond the budget of most churches.
If churches could band together and share these resources for free or for a low cost, it would be great! We're all on the same team here, so let's be effective. I agree with Rick Warren who has said that "God has not called us to be original, He has called us to be effective."
My current message series is titled He Came, He Died, He Conquered. I stole (borrowed) the title from Mark Batterson. I like taking outlines and ideas from other pastors and then making them my own. At Unleash, Perry Noble talked about the importance of making something better when you build upon it. My hope and desire is that these resources become a springboard for God to reveal a new and exciting truth that connects to our culture and our world, right here in Galax. As ministers, we must stay in God's Word so that we can teach not based on someone else's opinion, but based on God's truth. I hope more churches move toward sharing their resources.
Here are some sites that are offering great creative content right now

For the youth out there that give me a hard time, I know I am a serious nerd. But did you know that it's cool to be a geek now, and it even makes me attractive, just ask Jenni. Check out the top ten list here.
(ht to Tony Steward)
Today has been good. No, that really doesn't describe it, today has been awesome. There are some days when God just shows up and lets you know that He is in control. Today was one of those days.
We had a guest speaker scheduled for church today that was going to talk about our church's upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua. We have been looking forward to hearing Dr Donald Gillette from Because We Care Ministires. But late last night, right before going to bed I got a phone call. Dr. Gillette was stuck in the airport in Atlanta because of a canceled flight. That meant we needed a message and that meant I was the one who probably needed to preach on short notice. That is where this blog played an important role.
I have always wanted to keep a Spiritual journal. I have tried it several times. My main problem is that I hate writing. I enjoy getting my thoughts out of my head, I just don't like using a pen and paper. Most of the time I can't read my writing, and I seriously don't like to do it. So that has caused me to struggle and stop trying on several occasions. I then tried journaling electronically on my pocket pc. That worked alright for a while, but it does get old using a stylus to write. I have tried typing on my computer, but I found it hard to keep it going consistently. Until I started blogging. Blogging has taken on the role of a Spiritual Journal for me. It lets me post about books I'm reading, struggles I'm having, and things that I am learning. So when I needed to preach on something, my mind immediately turned to what I have been blogging about lately.
I was able to look at some of my posts about Missional living and form that into a sermon. Hopefully it was coherent, but it felt good to preach on something that I am passionate about. As a church, and as believers, we must get out of the mindset that Christianity is all about Sunday morning. Sunday morning is a great time to come together and worship and celebrate and be equipped. But there are 6 other days when we are living in the world, when we are coming into contact with people from all walks of life. That is when we have the greatest opportunity to share Christ and let people see the hope that we have within us.
So this morning went great, and tonight we had a great youth meeting. I love how are teens are starting to open up and share and really learn and grow. God is good. It feels like one of those times when we just have to hold on, because I know God is taking us on an incredible ride.

Maybe you have heard of the blasphemy challenge. I won't give them the honor of linking to their site, but they are challenging people to post youtube videos of themselves denying the Holy Spirit. It is a misguided and sad challenge that has become very popular. It has already been featured on numerous web and tv stories. Watching some of the videos really bothered me. It bothered me that so many of the people were teens. These are people that have been burned by church and by Christians, and have completely turned their backs on God. But it also bothered me that the devil was getting all the publicity for this story.
It also bothered some guys I know here in my hometown. So they did something about it. They created a website and a "God Challenge" to allow people to post videos of what God has done in their lives. This is a brand new site, so help me spread the word about it. It's another way to redeem technology that has been used by the world and let God use it for His Glory. Check it out.
We can't stand by and watch any longer. The challenge has been made…our God is real…the time is now. Testify. Visit GodChallenge.com for more information.
This site has videos of real people who have struggled with real problems and have a real account of an experience with God. There are no judgments about your life. No cheap impressions of Christianity. Just normal people offering you a glimpse of their struggles and triumph through Jesus Christ.
I have been toying around with the template structure for blogger for the last several weeks. After changing to a 3 column layout, I decided to work on a custom header in Photoshop. Thanks to a post over at ChurchCommunicationsPro, I learned how to incorporate a custom header and background to the site. And using a template from Blogcrowds based on the standard minima black, I ended up with a completely new and unique look to the site. I will probably mess around with it some more, just because I enjoy learning something new. But hopefully, the look will be more consistant for a while. If you're reading this from an email subscription or a feedreader, check out the new look at the site.

No, I don't think it's a bad things. Kind of a biblical Blessings (song by Laura Story). A reminder that you can't truly appreciate what you have until you've lost it.

I'm definitely no expert, but reading it makes me think that you should be thankful for what you have been given, and don't take it for granted.
I like what Wiki says about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_126

text: Hi, I've been using ZFS on my home server for 2 days, and spending a lot of time on it. Here is my conf : - AMD Sempron 140 - MB MSI K9N6PGM2-V - 3GB DDR2 PC2-6400 - 2 x 1TB Seagate SATA2 - 1 x 80GB Maxtor IDE ATA-133 I installed FreeBSD 8.0p3 (64 bits) on the 80GB disk, and I mounted the 2 SATA disks in ZFS RAID1 with the following command : Code:zpool create mirror share ad4 ad6 Then, I benchmarked my server, by copying some big files, and then a lot of small files. The performance was really bad, in the two cases ! I read a lot of threads about that, and I tried several configurations, by modifying /boot/loader.conf, and the "best" performance I could get is with these parameters : Code: vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1 vm.kmem_size="1536M" vfs.zfs.arc_min="1024M" vfs.zfs.arc_max="1536M" vfs.zfs.vdev.min_pending=2 vfs.zfs.vdev.max_pending=8 vfs.zfs.txg.timeout=5 When I copy a big file, a movie for instance, I got this speed : 27MB/s, and 18MB/s for a lot of small files. Maybe my parameters are not so good, but I don't find anything which could help me configure it better, or maybe ZFS is not for me, maybe I should switch back to UFS2, or Linux - EXT4 which was working well. Someone has any idea ?

Cooking those green onion seed stalks...your uses?
blueberrier1June 11, 2010
Several of the Texas sweet onions have 36" seed stalks. I pulled the plants (bulbs only 1.5-2".) Used half of one seed stalk, including the ball of immature seeds, in a one egg omelet-delicious! Plan to slice and then puree rest of stalks in processor, saute briefly and freeze for use in 'Asian' marinade for grilling veggies-esp zucks and eggplant, meats or fish. The leaves are enjoyed in many dishes. Few compostables!
How do you use young onion seed stalks?

Hi Ashley,
Was a great show last night at Brass House. Your vocals rock! Got your CD but it was missing the song I really liked...the one about meeting you in your dreams. It caught my ear and I was listening for it. You wouldn't have it on mp3 would you? Dec 23rd is so far away...

Pruning passion flowers
When is the best time to prune passion flowers and how hard should they be cut back? I have several large Passiflora edulis ( + a couple of others ). The P.edulis is now about 20m from base to tip (50 feet) Only the top third or so of it is still in leaf. It seems to have done flowering and fruiting for this season. We have had 100s of delicious fruits, which we mostly made into juice and jelly, though it's also v nice squeezed on salads. The plants are now about 4 years old and up to now have only been given a light trim.
Only have the ornamental types ,a red and a purple.Have no idea which types.Both grow at unbelieveable speed.
For the red I'd suggest pruning every other day lol.
It is beautiful but soooo invasive . Can't help with the edible kinds as I only grow useless plants for some reason, lol gary
Thanks. I think I'm going to cut them hard back. They are such vigorous plants I'm sure they'll resprout. How long can you expect a passion flower to live on average? Or are they just old soldiers...?
Once again, I'm green with envy! :> I have a passiflora decainsea (sp?) that is barely clinging to life at the moment. The poor dear is not happy about the drafty cold room we are in right now. But, it's not dead yet! I pruned off the dying main stem, and it's still slowly turning brown. : Hopefully in my next life I can be reincarnated into a tropical place. :D
I chop them way back when they grow out of control and get on my nerves. I've never had a problem with any of my passiflora putting out new growth no matter if I cut it a little or almost to the soil line. All my passies are grown in containers.
I plan on cutting my passion vines back pretty good this winter so I can clear the fence for next year. I have never had a problem of them coming back although sometimes I wonder. I was just wondering how much water to give them during the winter months so they don't take so long in the spring to start growing?

5.0 out of 5 stars Batman has no limits
In "Batman Begins," Christopher Nolan managed to do what few directors could do -- create a dark, gritty atmosphere around an all-too-human Batman, who fights for the oppressed with quiet intensity.
That moody murk is only intensified in the breathtaking, harrowing "Dark Knight," which fills itself with blasts of action, psychological twists and a shocking...

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything it's cracked up to be,
Jack Blatant (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dark Knight (2-Disc Special Edition) (Bilingual) (DVD)
My word... this film really does deliver. The action is intense, the settings are dark and gloomy, the cinematics are fast and slick... but when push comes to shove, the shove that brings this film over the top is characterization.
Christian Bale delivers another solid performance, as does the seemingly eternal Michael Caine. Aaron Eckhart is perfectly cast as Two-Face, with earnest Mr. Smith Goes To Washington written all over him until things turn sour. Maggie Gyllenhaal strikes the right combination of romantic and remote, Gary Oldman plays a haunted Commissioner Gordon... and then there's Heath Ledger.
Forget all the hype and the inevitable backlash to the hype. Heath Ledger is the best Joker the screen has ever seen. I'm going to go ahead and call him the best Joker, film or page, of all time. He owns the role. His performance takes the entire film a level beyond. Yes, I am most fulsome in my praise. But he is that good.
Well worth the viewing.

This is The Dark Knight, you HAVE to see it in its digitally enhanced sequence. The colors are more vibrant, the action is more real. It's just phenomenal, truly.

This review is from: The Dark Knight (Bilingual Limited Edition Giftset with Batpod) (3 Discs) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Shipping time was excellent 4 days to Alberta. Batpod is too cool as it sits on top of Entertainment Unit, and Blu-ray Discs rock the room. I would totally recommend it to any Bat Enthusiest.

Amazon Customer "Sam" (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dark Knight / Le Chevalier noir (Bilingual) (Widescreen) (DVD)
I thought this movie was somewhat overrated. It was very depressing and quite formulaic. Heath Ledger was amazing in it, but overall the movie was hum drum.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Night Blu-ray Top Notch!,
Bill Wilkat "Golfnut" (QC. Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Dark Night is definitely worth getting o Blu-ray, and is highly entertaining on all levels. Chris Nolan's work and ideas are impressive, and thus he gets positive results from those who work with him. The special features are also great on this 2 disc set, and now I guess I'll have to get Batman Begins soon too. I've seen it, but I am sure it's much better on Blu-ray as well!

L. Yow "you r terminated" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
Amazon.ca took forever to ship, but once it went out the door, it reached me pretty quickly.
The Dark Knight has one of the best picture quality I have seen on the Blu Ray format. This version switches between the IMAX view (full screen) and letterbox view(bars on top and bottom) throughout the show. The best part is - you can't switch it off. Some people are bothered by this feature, but I think it works fine for me. Overall, great purchase but I wish Amazon.ca would ship faster next time.

The greatest movie of the year finally makes it's debut on bluray. And it's definitely living up to the hype.
I've seen this movie in theatres, it was freakin' amazing. The storyline is at the mind games level for you "intellectuals", and at amazing IMAX bluray full 1920x1080 5.l truehd batman battles for you eye candy holics. One of the best looking bluray's I own, if not the best. I won't mention anything about the storyline, everyone knows it was amazing anyways. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Better Class of Criminal,
Neurosky "neurosky" (Canada) - See all my reviews
You've heard all the hype, and that the film does live up to its reputation, but you haven't seen it yet, thinking it's just another stupid superhero movie. You're wrong. This is a masterpiece of filmmaking which just so happens to feature a guy crazy enough to don a creepy bat guise to scare thugs in the night. It's intense, witty, emotionally powerful, thought-provoking and consistently shocking. It's also a very adult rollercoaster ride of action and character exploration united, facing the social/societal issues which most films ignore as to avoid controversy. But as this one is set in a fictional city, they found the courage.
And if you're thinking all the hype surrounding Heath Ledger's performance is only because he died young and suddenly from a drug `overdose' (mixed dose, really) then you are also mistaken; Ledger gives a performance every iota as powerful and disturbing as Malcolm McDowell's performance in "A Clockwork Orange" and yet as dramatically believable as Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs." And he does this while delving deeper into an already heavily explored character, expanding his world and even giving him a witty mock Chicago accent. Ledger leapt into the well-developed Joker version of the Nolan brothers' sensational script, and simply brought it to life with a powerful presence which shook actors and crewmen alike to dominate the film in every way possible. It is by far Ledger's best acting performance, and in my opinion one of the great acting performances in the history of cinema. Again, this isn't hype talking, it's fact.
So what is this film then if it's not merely a superhero-ish blockbuster? It's a dark mystery, a legal drama, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, a horror film and a sharp political commentary. It's everything you loved in graphic novels like "Watchmen" but never believed you'd see on the big screen. It's also a sequel to "Batman Begins", the film which began Nolan's take on the Batman saga, retelling it the way he thought it should be told. "Batman Begins" isn't a necessary watch before this one, if you are at least somewhat familiar with the central characters and Gotham city. But it would be a wise choice, since this one picks up where the last one left off; with Gotham in shambles, Scarecrow on the loose and a new serial killer in town with a "taste for the theatrics."
Excellence shines through this dark gem at every turn; its solid writing, directing, acting, costume design, set design, lighting and shadowing, cinema photography (some scenes shot by Imax camera), music and sound, and the little adlib moments that stay with you long after the film's end. Don't be troubled by its length (roughly two and a half hours) because it goes by so fast you barely notice, and the final sequences are more than worth the extra space. It's difficult to talk about this film without raving, it's simply a fantastic story, excellently executed, capable of taking you by surprise at every twist and turn, and afterwards leaving you wanting to savour the experience again, and again.
Needless to say, on DVD it will also break records.
But this is not a film for the kids, or for the faint of heart, and if I haven't made it clear yet I'll say it now; it's more intense than most R-rated movies out there, so be warned.
Can't wait to watch it again...
