Comments about LeapFrog LeapReader Book: Disney Cinderella: The Heart That Believes (works with Tag):
Book content is of expected quality. Unfortunately, the rewards in this book are "online rewards" for Leap World, which LeapFrog has discontinued. So be prepared, when your child comes running to you excited about their new reward, that you'll have to tell them that they cannot collect the reward because LeapFrog has discontinued the online rewards.

User Review for Baby Bjorn Comfort Carrier
I found that this is a very versatile and ergonomic baby carrier. There are a few different options when carrying your baby. You can have your baby face outwards or towards you. It also has a wide leg position for older babies who want to be close to you, which I found was my sons favorite position. The adjustable waist belt distributes baby's weight so there is no pull on your neck and shoulders. The shoulder straps are very well padded for extra comfort. I was able to walk for hours at the zoo with my son and we were both comfortable. My son was able to face outwards and see what was going on around him and when he was tired I turned him in to avoid being overstimulated. Which made our trip so much more enjoyable! Very sturdy and well built, made of all organic cotton. I feel comfortable using both hands while my son was in the carrier. Most carriers I still use one hand because I never felt he was secure. That is not the case with this carrier. I felt that he was very secure next to me. Included with this carrier is a bib that is easy to toss in the washing machine after your baby has drooled or chewed on it. Great idea! The carrier is a bit bulky, but I feel that the comfort of the carrier outweighs this. It's so comfortable that I wear it all the time anyway and I don't need to stick it in my diaper bag. Overall, I liked everything about this carrier. I feel that it is one of the best carriers on the market. I really liked the waist belt and how it distributed the weight. I also love that I can use it until my son is 31 pounds! The Baby Bjorn Comfort Carrier is well worth the money and I will highly recommend it to everyone.
High Chairs
When feeding your child, you want them to have the "best seat in the house". Whether you have to spoon feed them or they can feed themselves, a high quality highchair is important to any parent. There are so many different choices for you to pick from. Highchairs come in all different sizes, colors, and styles. With our wide selection of highchairs, we guarantee that you will be able to find the one that fits your needs and your budget.
Typically, you do not need to purchase a highchair until your baby starts to eat solid foods. This usually occurs around the 6 month period. You can of course buy a highchair earlier on. Many parents like to buy them earlier and keep them at the dinner table so they can keep a watchful eye on their little one while they eat.
There are several things that you should look for when purchasing a highchair as well. First, make sure that the highchair is safe. Pick a model that has a Juvenile Products Manufactures Association certificate on it. This certificate is found on mostly all reputable highchair manufacturing companies.
Look for a highchair with height adjustment if you plan to use the chair long term. This way, you can adjust the highchair to be easy on your arms for feeding and adjust the height as your baby grows older in age.
Also, check the straps on the highchair. Try to find a highchair where the straps are strong, durable and machine washable. Steer clear of models that only have a loop that goes around the baby's waist. It is very easy for the baby to slip out of these and get hurt.
Highchairs can also get dirty very quickly, so choose a model that will wash well. Vinyl cushions are easy to be wiped down. Also, if you choose a highchair with cloth cushions, make sure they are removable for easy cleaning.
Some of our bestselling models include:
Safety 1st Vineland Solid Wood Highchair
Gracco Classic Wooden Highchair
Whatever your needs are, you are sure to find them with our huge selection at BabyAge.com!

"Excellent Value for the money"
Excellent service and location.The shuttle service to the local Intel campuses is also a really nice feature.I stayed for 11 nights and it was a really pleasant experience.I would highly recommend the hotel.The only drawback was the not so great Internet.Apart from that,everything else was good including the free breakfast.Finally,it is tough to beat […] for the price. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Hotels.com
The people who worked at the hotel were very nice and helpful. The beds and bathrooms were clean. There was a lot of maintenance items, such as missing electric box covers and worn wall coverings etc. The breakfast was great. No elevator which was surprising. Very basic lodging experience.

"Nice hotel, perfect for our families stay"
Great location close to many restaurants, stores and shopping. Staff was very nice, especially Debbie at the front desk who was patient with all of my questions! Breakfast was great, one of the best free hotel breakfasts I have had. Large rooms with very comfy beds. It is right across from the airport, but my kids enjoyed seeing the planes landing. […] My only complaint would be a really loud ice machine outside of our door, but it has to go somewhere I guess! قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia
Hotel was ok, somewhat old. There were not any working lights in the parking area in the back which made it hard and a little scary when coming and going at night. The checking in staff did not inform me that I would be charged $10/day for the crib in my room, so that was quite a surprise upon check-out.

"A Little Pricey for the Quality"
I'll preface the review by stating we had pets (two cats) so the smell in the room might be somewhat expected, although I have stayed in other hotels with pets and it was nothing like this one. The room smelled bad. The carpet was stained as was most of the carpet in the hotel. It's just looking old and can use some updating to be sure. The staff were […] friendly enough and the room comfortable enough, but rooms of this quality should run about 30-40% lower in cost. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Hotels.com
"Nothing exciting"
For the price ($169/night) I thought this place was going to be really nice. The staff was nice, but the hotel was definitely old. Low ceilings- reminded me of a college dorm. No refrigerator or coffee pot in the room. The ice machine on my side of the building was broken. If you have time to book ahead, stay somewhere else.تعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Hotels.com

"Would NOT recommend this hotel! It wasn't pleasan"
The Toilet ran all night, every time the air conditioning turned on it woke us up, there were people talking very loudly and slamming doors in the hallways throughout the night. Also the hallways smelled strongly of pot. There were 3 of us who stayed in the hotel room and not one of us slept. This hotel was not safe either. One of the doors on the outer […] perimeter of the hotel door was broken and no key was needed to get in & out of the building. And we were charged almost $150 for this room. قراءة المزيدتعليق أصلي من أحد نزلاء Expedia

"Not bad for a few nights"
We were traveling with a pet so our options were limited. We also had to stay longer than planned. The breakfast was adequate and always a better deal than places without. Possibly because we had a pet room, there were things that could have been updated but some things obviously had been. Much more cost effective to do in stages probably. I'd rather […] have clean and functional over the fancy tv. No issues with staff. Prompt response to a couple isolated issues we had.

The staff was pleasant and efficient. The hotel location is good (although there are several in the area with better locations). The issue is only the general condition of this property.

An up-to-date overview of free software and its makers
Projects on the Move
Free software covers such a diverse range of applications that it can be hard to find the perfect tool. In this column,we pick the best of the bunch.This month you'll learn about XFce 4.2, the PC in the PC,QBuildkde,and the latest news on the Sarge Release.
Of course it is important to organize big events like Linux World to keep Linux competitive in the desktop market, but it is far more important to organize smaller meetings of Linux user groups locally. The recent popularity of Linux user groups shows, more than anything else, that Linux is an extremely interesting proposition for home users. It also shows that there is an information gap about Linux. And that's why I would like to appeal to Linux user groups not just to think about your personal needs, but to offer practical help to anyone interested in Linux. XFce Improved If you happen to see a desktop computer with Linux nowadays, it typically has KDE or Gnome installed as the GUI. Many distributors use the former as the standard desktop. After all, KDE does make Linux more accessible to newbies, while giving power users a variety of features and applications. Some people think that the seemingly infinite depths of KDE are over the top and just make the desktop too slow. Although KDE runs on older hardware, there are far quicker alternatives for slower machines.

text: Nothing big comes to my mind right now. R600g certainly needs a good optimizing compiler, it's the weakest spot of the driver. Most of the design flaws have been either fixed already or are in the process of being fixed.From Marek's perspective, the biggest issue is the lack of a good optimizing compiler for R600g, which would be something big to tackle.

governor signs technology bill
The state Communities Connect Network (CCN) was instrumental in providing expertise to policymakers on the needs and impact of community technology in the state. Research by the University of Washington for CCN, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, showed the importance of community technology learning centers to individuals, families and communities, with more than one million visits per year. The most compelling arguments for legislation were presented by the community technology providers from around the state, some of whom participated in CCN messaging training prior to testifying.
The community technology legislation was supported by a broad constituency, including the Washington Technology Industry Association and the City of Seattle. The Communications Workers of America (CWA) played a major role in advancing the broadband planning effort. Seattle Representative Zack Hudgins led the effort towards passage of the final bill with Rep. John McCoy. Rep. Claudia Kauffman sponsored the community tech bill and Sen. Kohl-Welles sponsored the initial broadband legislation. This historic legislation was really made possible by many in the legislature and governor's office and caring providers, clients and supporters across the state.
See the final legislation here, and more on our home page, and at the Communities Connect site.
Flag designed by student at Rainier Community Center |
ArtWorks has expanded their graphic design program to reach deeper into the community of those they serve. Widely acclaimed for creating the murals in the SODO district, Artworks offers at-risk youth a chance to create public artwork. Students gain art skills training, work experience, job search and application training, and team building through the creation of art.
ArtWorks offered graphic design training to students who had completed their mural program, but had difficulty getting youth to attend classes in their Pioneer Square studio. Most of their students were on probation in the Juvenile Justice System. The problem was compounded when the area was identified as a SODA, a "Stay Out of Drug Area" and the youth were unable to attend classes there.
Executive director Terry Pottmeyer explored other locations to conduct the classes, and settled on the Rainier Community Center, located in the Rainier Valley. The center houses a state-of-the-art computer lab with graphic design capabilities, and is part of the Associated Recreation Council's RecTech Coalition. "It's much better to hold the classes close to where our students live," according to Pottmeyer.
With funding from the Technology Matching Fund, Artworks completed the five week graphic design program at the new location. Students learned basic computer skills and graphic design along with basic job search skills from a professional instructor. They also had volunteer support from a professional graphic designer, who helped give their lessons a sense of immediacy and "real world" application.
The students extended their skills during out of school hours. They created blogs to communicate via the web, practiced basic graphic design skills, and became engaged with the wider community by creating products for real world clients. One student became so excited about graphic design work that he made a decision to sell his car and used the proceeds to purchase a laptop. Another teen said, "The experience has taught me a lot about business advertising, the dos & don'ts. I feel it will come in handy in the future." Another reported gaining skills "using Photoshop and Illustrator" and figured out "how to create business cards and letterheads, as well as how to compile a portfolio."
For more information on Artworks or upcoming classes at the Rainier Community Center, email Terry Pottmeyer or call (206) 292-4142.

Seattle City Councilmembers are sponsoring a Digital TV Transition Forum on April 22, from noon to 1:00 p.m. at City Hall's Council Chambers. Hosted by Councilmember Bruce Harrell, it will address questions related to digital conversion of television broadcasting signals. On February 17, 2009, all television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to digital broadcasting. This switch represents the most significant change in television since color TV. Digital broadcasting delivers a better picture, better sound, more programming choices, and will free up frequencies for public safety communications. However, it is estimated that 20 percent of Seattle residents use non-cable analog TV and will be affected by this transition. The forum will include a panel of experts that will explain the options, who will be affected, how to purchase and hook up a converter box, where to get converter-box coupons, and how to responsibly dispose of an old TV. In addition, the impact on the media will be addressed.

Mayor Greg Nickels and the Seattle City Council are seeking two candidates for the Citizens' Telecommunications and Technology Advisory Board (CTTAB). The 16-member Board advises City officials on issues of community-wide interest relating to telecommunications and technology, including community access, digital divide issues and cable TV. The Board is involved in cable franchising renewal and in the Technology Matching Fund. CTTAB members represent a broad range of professional and community experience and perspectives. CTTAB seeks to be representative of the cultural diversity of the Seattle community. Letters of interest and resumes need to be submitted to Jill Novik by April 15, 2008. See more info here.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a way of making search engines more likely to find your site and list it higher. SEO has been around since the mid 90's when companies started offering to register web sites with the search engines. The search engines would categorize your website by looking at the hidden keywords in the web page. As SEO methods developed, so did the search engines. In response to sites flooding their pages with irrelevant keywords so that their sites would pop up in searches, the search engine companies started reading and weighing sites in several other ways as well. Now, for example, Google looks at hundreds of different signals to determine relevancy. Here are the top three things that you need to do to ensure your site shows up well in search engines:

Meta tags are hidden lines of code that include keywords, short content descriptions and other information about a site.
While it is helpful to have graphics for users to see, it is also good not to have too many on your pages as search engines when they spider your site can't read into them. When putting graphics on your page, be sure to include the alternative text ("alt" tags) that describe the graphics. When you do this you're making your site available both to users with visual disabilities and to search engines.

Feeling Beautiful
Rarely do I ever drink anything but water. It's pure, refresing and absolutely necessary (read more about the benefits of drinking water here at WebMD). If you feel that you may be addicted to soda you might want to decrease the amount of soda you intake slowly so your body doesn't go into shock. If you have say more than a soda a day try substituting one with a glass or bottle of water instead. After a week or so replace the other soda with water as well. Let's say you previously drank those two sodas for lunch and dinner. You now won't feel full so fast and you can feel proud of yourself for making a healthier decision. Soda has a lot of extra sugars that your body doesn't need! I myself noticed a big difference in the way I felt when I stopped drinking soda. My stomach especially felt so relieved. It won't hurt to have a soda every now and then but if you're drinking soda every day you may want to think about what you're choosing to feed your body.
If you don't think you can handle drinking only water try some Diet Snapple. There is absolutely nothing in the ingredients that is harmful to your body (please note that not all diet drinks are this way). No calories, fat, sugars, carbs and only 5mg of sodium! Don't believe me? Click here! There are also many yummy flavors that will satisfy your tastebuds more than soda will! I absolutely love the Raspberry Tea!
Everyone needs their beauty sleep. Plenty of rest means more energy, a happier you, and probably a lot less Coffee! No one likes those puffy and dark eyes, a worn out looking face, or that drained feeling you get when you begin any sort of task. Before I was married I used to stay up past midnight and wake up sometimes around eleven in the morning. Not only did I feel like I was starting my day super late but I also felt exhausted and the days seemed shorter. I'm glad I changed my sleeping habits! This lady is now in bed usually by 10:30!
It's very important that we get enough sleep so our body's can function properly. You can learn more about how much sleep you need and the consequences of not getting enough here at WebMD.
Challenge yourself to try one of these two things (or both if you're feeling brave) and see how it works out for you! Let me know your results!

I have hated soda since I was a little girl and I am thankful I never liked it because I heard it is a pain to stop drinking it. I usually get enough sleep but there are those nights I only get 6 or so hours of sleep which isn't enough. :(

This was a great step into a new conversation, Jen! Very interesting. When I was young I got sick and the doctor told my parents that I should cut any other drinks, replacing them with water, until I was better, but I guess I got used to it because I've never really gone back!
Of course, the sleep thing I do have to work on obviously since I'm leaving this comment at 1am. Haha! - June 3, 2011 at 10:59 PM

Water is my drink of choice as well. Though when I go out with friends for a drink or so it tends to be a soda. Then again I like to think that that is preferable to anything alcoholic...
My sleep needs some work too... Too many things to do and too few hours in a day. - June 3, 2011 at 11:34 PM

Very interesting and useful post Jen (: From a really young age, my parents banned soda and soft drinks from our house so we could only drink water or fresh juice. I'm so thankful they did that because I always prefer water now!

Well... one out of to isn't so bad. Like you, water is pretty much all I drink (besides my morning coffee), but I really need to work on getting to bed earlier!

I happily don't drink very much soda at all...maybe once a week I'll have a gingerale and maybe once every six months I'll have a root beer (that happens on a bad day). But SLEEP! I can never sleep for more than 5-6 hours I wish I could get much more. I have some weird annoying internal clock that only wants 6 hours. I wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

The water over soda is super easy, but getting sleep for a workaholic like me is so so. I wonder what constitutes enough sleep?

You will almost definitely see other Thai Fishermens Pants from other sellers on Ebay, selling for less than our product, BUT are you sure the things you are seeing are really cheap? Usually the sellers include a hidden charge on the packaging and the fabric used is usually of a poor quality because many of the Pants are made from leftovers at the factory, stitched together to make lower quality Pants. You will definitely notice that the design will be thinner than our pants (using less material). Also, there are never many pictures of their product on the listing. It might just be a photograph of the product folded into a square shape to hide the true shape so you cant see it and trust me, if you did buy them, youd only be able to wear them a few times before they fall apart.
Do you really want to save just a few bucks for a pair of Pants that you can wear for only a few times and then have to throw away????

And the questions are ...
Questions dealing with building a new school, electrical aggregation, flood control taxes, and fire department upgrades will be on the April 9 consolidated election ballot for some Bureau County residents.
Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said the final deadline was Jan. 22 for governmental boards to approve referendums in time for the April 9 ballot. The referendum questions had to be received in her office by Jan. 31. The referendums on the spring ballot are considered binding, unless stated as an advisory referendum, and must be approved by a simple majority vote, Hieronymus said.
For voters in unincorporated areas of Bureau County, the Bureau County Board will ask whether they want the county board to pursue electrical aggregation for them.

AMD demonstrated its first Fusion APU (accelerated processing unit), which is a "fusion" between a processor and a graphics processor. The first such processor in the works is based on the 32 nm silicon fabrication technology, codenamed Llano, and fuses a quad-core processor with a DirectX 11 compliant GPU. AMD's Rick Bergman showed off a wafer of the Llano APUs, but it didn't stop there. Rick surprised the press when he went on to claim that the APU can power Aliens vs. Predator in DirectX 11 mode, with a reasonable level of detail, which was demonstrated. Find a video of the same at the source. Source: TweakTown
I expect theese will rock the world of notebooks! god i can't wait now! Want specs specs specs, if it got 320 shaders its gonna be very very good!
Wow, that's a lot more than I expected. Will definately revolutionize the notebook market. Let's hope that Bulldozer exceeds our expectations too
Ok, I'm confused...a "fusion" between a GPU and a CPU...results in a APU...and what exactly is that? The i5 have the CPU core physically divided from the GPU core...does this one have it too? I've got to look into this. And HA!, I knew it! New socket!
Bulldozer will come on AM3. if rumors are true. OFC they have to dump AM3, NB will be built in. and a gpu, chipsets are incompatible with handling those things. All is one DIE. not like I5, Intel will also be ready, alltho most likely a tad later and alot slower(we all know intel on the gpu performance side)
The AM3 socket isn't any different than the AM2/AM2+ socket, it's got a new designation to indicate it supports DDR3.
Yeah, it only has 2 more pins than 939 and one more than AM2/AM2+. That is good news! The fact that it's only one die is good for cooling purposes and price.
wew, i hope mobo maker can use hydra on one of this babys so tis great power never gonna get waste (if we wanna get a more powerful GPU)

Wanda Sykes Movies
A quick-witted comedien who has transcended the comedy scene to become one of the funniest comics to hit the stage in some time,
Wanda Sykes
' unique blend of stinging humor and outspoken honesty has found her moving beyond a career in standup thanks to notable success in film and television. With an Emmy under her belt indicating a bright and enduring career in the years ahead,
has shown a versatility that has gained her increasing attention on such acclaimed HBO series' as
The Chris Rock Show
Curb Your Enthusiasm
. Born in Portsmouth, VA, and raised in Maryland,
rounded out her education by receiving her B.S. in marketing at Hampton University. It was around this time that an impromptu performance at Washington D.C.'s Super Talent Showcase sparked an interest in standup comedy, and in the years that followed, the rising starlet would continue to hone her skills on-stage.
In 1997,
kicked off her small-screen career as a writer for both The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show and
The Chris Rock Show
, with the latter offering additional exposure by giving the comedien a place in front of the camera as well as behind. A supporting role in
Louis C.K.
's 1998 feature
Tomorrow Night
was quick to follow, and a 1998 part in the HBO special Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm found
in a scene-stealing performance as
's wife's best friend. By this time,
' feature career was beginning to gain momentum, and after commendable supporting performances in
The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
Down to Earth
, she delivered a winning performance in the little-seen
Pootie Tang
. Though her next foray into television on the short-lived
The Downer Channel
proved almost as abysmal as
Pootie Tang
's box-office returns,
endured to lend her voice to the hit Comedy Central series
Crank Yankers
and host the pay-cable channel's popular standup comic series Premium Blend. The following year seemed to find
at her peak as she landed her own sitcom,
Wanda at Large
, and her first standup special,
Wanda Sykes: Tongue Untied
, and served as a field correspondent for HBO's Inside the NFL. Though
Wanda at Large
premiered to impressive ratings early in the year, the show was moved from Wednesday to Friday nights for its second season and died a quick death in the difficult time slot. Hardly deterred by the end of that sitcom,
appeared in the hit comedy Monster-In-Law offering up zingers at Jane Fonda in her comeback film, and appearing in the Ivan Reitman comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Considering that withering sarcasm comes easily to
, it is little surprise that she has worked on a variety of animated films including Over the Hedge and Barnyard.
She had a bit part in Clerk II, and in 2008 she was cast in the hit sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine. She had her own cable series, The Wanda Sykes Show, for a brief period, and continued to work steadily in animated projects like Rio and Ice Age: Continental Drift. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A misfit macaw named Blu (voice of Jesse Eisenberg) heads to Rio de Janeiro, embarks on a magnificent journey, and makes some loyal new friends in this animated adventure for the entire family. Domesticated from the time he was just a hatchling, Blu traded a life in the clouds for a contented existence in Moose Lake with his doting owner, Linda (Leslie Mann).

Shortly after their arrival in the Brazilian capitol, however, the two rare birds fall victim to a gang of greedy animal smugglers intent on making a mint by selling Blu and Jewel to the highest bidder. But the headstrong Jewel isn't about to be locked in a cage and put on display, so when the opportunity arises she stages a daring escape with the help of some wisecracking local birds, and takes her new friend Blu along for the ride. With the bumbling birdnappers fast closing in, Blu realizes that his only hope for making a clean getaway and reuniting with Linda is to finally summon the courage he needs to take flight.

A group of feisty forest critters awaken following the winter freeze to discover that not only has a new neighborhood cropped up during the cold months, but living in close proximity to humans may have its benefits in this computer-animated comedy-adventure for all ages featuring the voices of Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes, Avril Lavigne, Eugene Levy, and William Shatner. Despite Verne the Turtle's (Garry Shandling) initial hesitance to breach the formidable foliage that has appeared on his doorstep since last fall, the arrival of fearless raccoon RJ (Willis) and revelation that their new human neighbors throw out enough food in one day to feed a whole forest lead the gang to consider taking the plunge and exploring the snack-filled suburbs. As Verne and RJ learn to work together in taking on their strange new surroundings, Stella the Skunk (Sykes), Hammy the Squirrel (Carrel), Heather the Opossum (Lavigne), and Heather's father, Ozzie (Shatner), join in on the fun by scavenging for Girl Scout cookies and attempting to scuttle past the pesky new suburbanites undetected. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A cow learns to walk like a man, both literally and figuratively, in this computer-animated comedy written and directed by Steve Oedekerk, the creator of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Ben (voice of Sam Elliott) is a cow who for years has been the leader and sober voice of reason among the animals at a farm where the critters are a bit unusual -- they can walk on two legs, talk, swim, and act like humans, though they have the good sense to avoid doing these things while humans are around. Ben has long dreamed that his son Otis (voice of Kevin James) would someday take over his duties on the farm, but Otis is a carefree and irresponsible type who would rather party with his friends and hang out with his girlfriend, Daisy (voice of Courteney Cox). Ben and his friend Miles (voice of Danny Glover), a wise and patient mule, wonder if Otis will ever make anything of himself, while Dasiy's best friend, Bessy (voice of Wanda Sykes), is convinced she can do better. However, one night Otis decides to do something about an obnoxious kid who enjoys tipping his fellow cows, and for the first time in his life he gets a taste of leadership -- and he likes it. Barnyard also features the voice talents of Andie MacDowell, Maria Bamford, and Maurice LaMarche. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A regular guy finds out just how hard breaking up can truly be when attempting to call it quits with a clingy female crime fighter who doesn't want to let love die in director Ivan Reitman's super-powered romantic comedy. Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) was looking for love when he first met pretty brunette Jenny Johnson (Uma Thurman), and at the time it seemed as if he may had finally actually found it. Jenny isn't just your typical girl, though, because despite her outwardly normal appearance she is actually a powerful superhero dedicated to ridding the streets of crime. Her outward strength betrays a deep-rooted insecurity, too, and when Jenny begins to become a bit too possessive for Matt's laid-back taste, the troubled boyfriend does his best to end the relationship amicably. They say that breaking up isn't easy to do, however, and when your girlfriend is a superhero, that sentiment holds twice the truth as it does under any normal circumstances. Matt is determined to get on with his life, though, and as his budding romance with beautiful co-worker Hannah (Anna Faris) begins to get serious, jealous Jenny scornfully slips into G-Girl mode to prove that hell hath no fury like a woman superhero scorned. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

It's not unusual to see two women fighting over the same man in a movie, only this time it's his mother and his fiancée vying for his attention in this broad comedy. While Charlotte Cantilini (Jennifer Lopez), known to her friends as Charlie, has never had much luck in her love life, one day her ship arrives in a big way when she meets Kevin Fields (Michael Vartan), a doctor who is charming, handsome, and wealthy. Kevin also has a famous mother, Viola Fields (Jane Fonda), who has enjoyed a long and successful career as a news broadcaster. When Kevin and Charlie fall head over heels for one another, he opts to propose marriage to her as he's introducing Charlie to Viola over lunch. However, as far as Viola is concerned, this could not come at a worse time -- Viola has just been fired from the anchor desk, and regards her son as the only anchor left in her life. Not willing to share Kevin with anyone, Viola sets out to sabotage his relationship with Charlie in any way she can, often with the wary assistance of her secretary Ruby (Wanda Sykes). But once Charlie gets wind of Viola's schemes, she decides two can play this game. Monster-in-Law marked Jane Fonda's return to the screen after a long leave of absence; it was her first film after co-starring with Robert De Niro in 1990's Stanley & Iris. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Pootie also runs up against an artistic imitator (David Cross) and a sleazy recording executive (Andy Richter) Pootie Tang co-stars Chris Rock, Dave Attell, and Bob Costas and Conan O'Brien as themselves. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

You can take the clerks out of the Quick Stop, but you just can't take the Quick Stop out of the clerks as Dante (Brian O'Halloran) and Randall (Jeff Anderson) prove in this long-awaited sequel to Kevin Smith's breakthrough comedy. Years after we last saw them, Dante is still toiling behind the counter at a New Jersey convenience store and Randall is still annoying customers at the video shop next door -- or at least they are until a fire burns down the strip mall, forcing Dante and Randall to look for work. Times are tough, and the guys find themselves embracing the ultimate indignity as they take jobs at Mooby's, a fast-food outlet where the burgers are advertised as "udderly delicious." While Randall's snarky attitude toward the public remains unchanged, Dante is trying to make the best of the situation as he plans to marry his fiancée, Emma (Jennifer Schwalbach Smith), and move to Florida. However, Dante's plans are complicated when he falls for Becky (Rosario Dawson), a funny and tart-tongued woman who happens to be his boss at Mooby's. Lurking about in the background, as always, are Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith), who for good or ill have changed even less with the passage of time than Dante and Randall. Clerks II also features Wanda Sykes, Ethan Suplee, and Trevor Fehrman, with cameo appearances from Kevin Smith regulars Ben Affleck and Jason Lee. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Surrogate
When Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) asks Larry (Larry David) to get a present for Betty Dusenberry's (Eliza Coyle) baby shower, Larry wonders if he should also get a present for the surrogate mother (Elizabeth Beckwith). Cheryl is in a frisky mood, but Larry is still healing from being bitten by Oscar. The next day, Larry visits his doctor (Jack Gallagher) to take his required physical for The Producers, but his heart rate spikes when Renee (Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon) comes in, and the doctor won't sign the necessary forms unless Larry agrees to wear a heart holster for a day. Larry's friend Richard Lewis is actually dating Renee, and confides to Larry that because Renee is black, and has presumably dated black men, he feels insecure about the size of his "equipment." The two wonder if it's really a myth. Later, Wanda (Wanda Sykes) catches Larry mistaking a black man for a valet, and attempts to figure out his logic: "Anytime I see a black man in a tie and a suit, I automatically think, 'You must park cars for a living.'" Larry also creates problems at the baby shower, inadvertently convincing the surrogate to keep her baby. He continues to alienate his Producers co-star, David Schwimmer, and he uses his apparent heart problem to his advantage when he encounters a potentially violent case of road rage. Mel Brooks and Muggsy Bogues make guest appearances. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Wanda at Large [TV Series]
Having risen to national acclaim by virtue of her writing and acting contributions to such series as The Chris Rock Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm, profanely outspoken comedienne Wanda Sykes was awarded her own Fox network sitcom. The star was cast as Wanda Hawkins, a single government worker living in Washington, D.C. After fearlessly trashing a popular TV anchorman at a party, Wanda is hired by TV station manager Roger (Jason Kravitz) to appear regularly as the house gadfly on the weekly political-comment series "The Beltway Gang." Naturally, Wanda's unbridled stream of gab (which according to Fox publicity was largely ad-libbed) did not rest well with the series' official co-hosts, conservative Bradley (Phil Morris) and liberal Rita (Ann Magnuson). Withheld from public view while an abortive pilot episode was completely refilmed and recast, Wanda at Large premiered March 26, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
