Instant disaster!
I am a major Craig Sheffer fan. I have seen all his films and enjoyed them all...except for this one! I hate to say it, but it's pretty pathetic. It is the story of a filmmaker(Sheffer), the starlet he falls for(Chelsea Noble), and a spoiled actor(David Cassidy). After that point, I am not really sure what the movie is about at all! It does have a few funny moments, but on the whole not enough to make it worth the effort. Even Sheffer's acting ability could not salvage it. If you really need to see this film, wait for it to come on cable, or try and rent it. Otherwise, see one of Sheffer's numerous other films, there isn't a disappointment in the bunch.

David Cassidy only bright spot
I only bought this movie because David Cassidy was in it (he gets the star). He was the only good thing in it. He was a parody of his 2 former TV personalities. He played such a jerk and I found myself laughing at his outrageous behavior. His believability as such an arrogant jerk tells you what a great actor he is!!!!!!

Craig, I am probably one of the biggest fans you have. I liked you in the movie, but the movie had a bad plot. I hope to see you in more films. I would like to meet you in person one of these days.

I have to admit that this was a very interesting book. It did give me some insight into the actor's life. It was also a very quick read for those that don't want a really long biography.

Immensly inspiring for the future
Well, I am slightly biased since the author is a friend of mine, but I'll do my best to be neutral in this review.This is a very good book that can help us (society) come up with a better way of financing higher education. We should be in a world where anybody capable should be allowed to go to university. Unfortunately, there are so many barriers, and the highest one is probably the financing one, i.e. how to pay for the education we want to receive, and how not to solely depend on the governement to pay for it. This book explains in great details, with lots of supporting data, how the creation of a new type of securities, human capital contracts, can allow us to solve this problem.It is tremendously inspiring, and should become an essential part of any policy maker's library.Well done Miguel!!!

Runs very small
The material is not stretchy and at all. It runs very small. I wear a small and I was not able to breath in this costume. The sleeves of this dress were also tiny and cut off the circualtion in my arms. The skirt is also very puffy.

You will look like a Heidi-ho in this outfit
I bought this costume for an Oktoberfest party and had such a blast wearing it!It's a very cute costume and the fit was fine too. The little hearts are adorable. I bought a medium, which is generally the size I wear, and it fit fine. The only issue was it was incredibly short! But I'm pretty tall.It does come with a built in petticoat which is great. I actually wore another longer petticoat with my costume just to give me a little more coverage on my ba-donk-a-donk so I didn't show too much off if I needed to bend down.The material is a little stiff but not uncomfortable. All in all, it's a good purchase.

Short, cleverly satirical essays/poems
This book satirizes a number of ISMs (surrealism, patriotism, capitalism, etc). Each section has a poem which in a very simple style talks about that ISM. The simplicity & put-on innocence of the writing make the subject look silly. The illustrations aid the poem.The writing is very well-crafted and the simplicity is unusual & refreshing. But, mostly it's good for a few snide snickers.

Catching LIght in your paintings with Charles Sovek
The service in getting this book was really good. The only comment I have with the book is that I wish more of the illustrations that he used would have been in color. There are too many in black and white and it is hard for me to get the concept that he wants to convey. The use of the color theory is very important and that is what I am trying to get familiar with. I do like his art very much and that is why I am studying him.

An Oldie, but a Goodie
A very informative book, it's as timely now as when it was first published in 1968. In fact, may of the miracle cures which were touted in those days, and Mr. Perkinson handily dispatched in his book, are even more glaring in their inadequacy today.

Sub-Par Sound of Good Songs
The sound is tinny and appears to come from inferior masters for all of the songs. If sound quality is of little importance to you, then the price may be right for you. Otherwise, buy these songs from a better label, like Rhino. My advice is to pass on this one.

Sorry, so sad, but it doesn't work!
I was thrilled with this pedometer and wore it every day. Found that it added steps while driving, not wearing it in the car corrected that. After 3 weeks, it stopped working -- counted 2 steps one day, 5 the next. Changed battery and now I just have 00000 regardless! What a waste!

Battery replacement challenge
If the complaints about inaccuracy don't dissuade you, let me add another reason to reject this product. Battery replacement is enough of a hassle that you may want to smash the device to smithereens.A company is short-sighted to market a shoddy product. People tend to reject everything a company makes once they've had a bad experience. If I'm looking for a $100 heart rate watch, I'm sure not going to consider any products by Sportline.

Unreliable
I wanted something simple. No calorie counters, no timers, no built in radio...just count my steps. The design of this product does exactly that, but not accurately. In one session, I can walk around the house, count my steps, check the counter and its pretty close. I can then go for a mile walk and it registers 600 steps (meaning each stride was roughly 9 ft...sorry, not possible). Upon taking some very long walks over several days and placing the device in different spots, I have not ever come close to the count I should have gotten...so I am very disappointed in the product and will be returning it. For the one thing it was supposed to do, it just doesn't do it's job.

does not deliver accurate count
I did not want to give this device any stars, since it could not accurately count my steps. However, amazon will not let you post without at least one star. This is my first pedometer - maybe they're all inacurate? I don't know. I just know this one can't count.

Useless
I also wanted just a basic "count the steps" type pedometer, so I bought one of these recently. It has proved to be totally useless as it will reset itself to 0 steps at seemingly random intervals. This makes my "total" for the day meaningless. Apparently only very light pressure is required on the reset button to activate it...

didn't work at all!
I purchased this pedometer because I didn't really want to spend much money, but I should have known better. With every step, there was clicking/ticking sounds which drove me nuts so I wouldn't wear it while walking around the office. It also didn't accurately count steps for me. I programed the stride length, per instructions and then tried to test the count. Sometimes 10 steps = 35 and other times only 4 or 5 steps. Plain and simple, it simply didn't work at all. I returned this and spent the extra cash on an Omron which worked beautifully! Was quiet, accurate, and simple to use.

Disappointing! DON'T BUY THIS!
Well, I wanted a simple pedometer. This is so simple that it doesn't work well at all. No bells, no whistles, no reliablilty. A couple friends also bought one, they are equally disappointed. I got what I paid for. It wa so inexpensive that it is not worth returning. It claims to self adjust for your steps. It doesn't seem to. I have tested it for 200 steps on 7 occassions and the steps ranged from 105 to 180. So, if you are on a 10,000 step program, you'll end up walking at least 12,000 which I guess is good. I also wear it biking as it counts "pumps" of the leg. Sometimes. Today O biked for 36 minutes and it came up with 174. Yesterday 24 minutes and 5027 was recorded. I have been vary careful to place it on my belt line at the place indicated to no avail.

You get your money's worth
One day, I walk 12,000 + steps and the next day, I walk 5,000 steps -- SAME DISTANCE!! I walk to and from work and I don't know which to believe. Somewhere in the middle?Completely erratic counting: no rhyme or reason.
negative

Totally Erratic
I would definitely go with something else if you want a pedometer that actually counts your steps. Sometimes it seems to count about 1/3 of my steps, and sometimes closer to half. If it were consistent, capable of any precision at all, it would be usable. But since there's no way to accurately guess the number of steps walked based on the pedometer's count, it's essentially useless.I've tried counting my steps and then reading the meter, and I've tried walking known distances and then checking the count, and there's no consistency. I can walk the same course on consecutive days and this pedometer thinks I've gone 50% farther the second day as the first.I think the reviewer who commented that it's too cheap to bother to send back is on to something: Sportline can sell junk, and if it's not sold in a brick and mortar store, no one will bother to return it, and they profit.

not worth your money
I've had 2 of these and while one was accurate for 3 days, the 2nd one I got in exchange for the first was doing the job for only 2 days.. even at a discounted price, it's not worth your time and money. Buy a more durable and reliable pedometer!

Sportline Model 330 Pedometer Review
I purchased 22 of these pedometers for a walking club at my work recently. They have been used for 2 weeks now and already 5 of them have stopped working correctly or have broken. I used one of them with my better pedometer to see how close they were and they track fairly well. I would say they track about 10% more steps then my more accurate pedometer does.They just do not last well at all. They should last longer then 2 weeks.

I bought this pedometer yesterday because I wanted to try to walk 10,000 steps a day. It recorded false steps when I was driving, and then stopped recording real steps when I was half-way through a two-mile walk. At one point yesterday, it reset itself back to zero. What a disappointment!

Poor book, considering who wrote it.
I generally liked this book. It was well-written and is a very quick read.However, I do have some complaints. There are no footnotes on where the author found her quotes, only a thin bibliography of the author's sources. The last chapter on Alexandra Of Denmark and her sister Dagmar is, by far, the weakest chapter. It should have been titled "Alexandra", for it barely has anything on Princess Dagmar and her influence on Russia. She also gets her geneology mixed up.If you find this book at the library then I encourage you to pick it up and read it. Otherwise, don't waste your time or money in searching for this out-of-print book.The best thing that I can say of this book is that it will get you interested in its subjects. If you do wish to read more about royal subjects, then go to Frasers.

Pleasing vignettes
I think that some of the reviewers have been a bit harsh on HRH and that she's presented a likeable, gossipy view of the temperaments and times of the ladies about whom she's written. I don't believe that she ever intended to give an in depth, political overview of the royal consorts...far from it! Even though one reviewer called it a "lightweight" book, I believe that it was the personal side of these women that the author wished to show, not their effect on the country's politics. Personally, I loved hearing about the fashions, customs and foibles of these princesses from past times and also loved to hear about their relationships with their husbands, children and families. So, it's all irrelevant to the workings of the various countries but, so what..it's an entertaining collage of personal facts about well known women and I for one, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Old and new Hawaii on the same album
What a pleasant surprise to hear a voice that really puts his heart in Hawaiian music. He combines the love of traditional with up to date ideas. I could listen to "Ehukai" over and over. I have never really liked "Close to you" as I never heard it sound as if it had meaning to the singer. Leokane has taken it apart and rephrased it to a meaningful and caring sound. Also the falsetto voice brings us the original sound of old Hawaii. l'm looking forward to many more of his songs and albums. He is one of the best and though he doesn't sound like Alfred Apaka, he has the same love in his voice. Mahalo!

Easily get scratched on dial window and links
This watch looks excellent with beautiful blue tone that I have to buy it.You only need to change battery once every 4 years says the manual.However, this watch gets EASILY scratched on both the dial window and links. It looks very bad after only less than a month with regular wear. It bothers me every time I look at the time since I will see the scratch on the dial window. I have returned it. My other brand 15 year old watch with sapphire never got a scratch during normal use. I will only buy a watch with sapphire from now on.

Replacing the battery costs $75!!!!!
Do not buy this watch! No jeweler will replace the battery. Only Seiko will replace the battery. They charge $50-$75 to do so, and you have to ship it. That is why they are on a clearance sale. My battery lasted about 3-4 years. Whey you have to pay this much to replace a battery every 3-4 years, the watch is not worth it. In fact, at $99.99 it would have been smarter to throw away the watch and buy a new one rathter than replace the batter. Don't buy it, buy another brand.

Quality??
I bought this watch in 2006,and it was my first Seiko in years. I figured I'd buy one good watch which will last years. How wrong I was. This watch is garbage. First the band broke and I found out that a replacement band is $75.00. Then the calendar displayed the date between the numbers. (Example: Bottom half of 14 and the top half of 15). Yesterday I took the watch into the jeweler to get a new battery. I tried to reset the calendar and the stem came out of the watch. After numerous attempts to put it back in, I went back to the jeweler. He was able to get the stem to stay, however, he said that I shouldn't try and reset the date, because the watch places the stem in neutral and will fall out again. I've owned a lot of watches over the years and it amazes me that my Casio watches, even the $20.00 one, works great and a watch I payed more than $150.00 for is broken. Never again.

Codes in plain English
Frederic Hartwell gets my highest praise for taking a complex subject and presenting it in an orderly and understandable manner. From home wiring to industrial 3 phase circuits Mr. Hartwell provides sound information without sacrificing readablity. I have supervised an instrument and electrical department for a public utility for 18 years and found that the material presented in this book filled in a lot of the holes in my own knowledge. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better or more readable text on practical electrical circuits, devices and wiring techniques.

Dean graduating
Magnetic Strom continues the record started in "Views," documenting the ongoing work of Roger and Martyn Dean. There's lots of Roger's famous artwork, album covers for Yes, Asia, and others. This also features the stage sets for Yes tours - amazing fantasy constructions, even more amazing for the rigorous demands imposed by the need for easy transportation and setup. It even shows some of the Deans' experiments in biomorphic architecture. There are also some covers from books that the Deans' Paper Tiger published, including some that I still enjoy.This collection appeals to anyone who remembers those times, who enjoys fantasy art, or who likes to see the breadth that creative minds can span.

STAY FAR FAR AWAY
I stumbled upon this collection at a flea market for $3. I feel like they should have paid me to take it off their hands! The frst indication that something was a-miss was the inclusion of The Dell's Oh What A Night. That is certainly not a disco song. I was attracted to it for the Eddie Floyd Knock On Wood (1990 Radio Re-Mix) and that is about the only song on the CD that is not painful to listen to. All the other tracks are horrid re-recordings by one or more members of the original group, so the liner notes say. The "In The Navy" version by The Village People is almost laughable as it's so bad. Stay Far Far Away from this CD.

I ordered this filter since it is advertised as a "Kenmore" product. The item that arrived was definitely not made by Kenmore and had a strange scent.

Amazingly inexpensive refills for an amazing vacuum
When I realized our Kenmore vacuum needed refills, I checked on Sears.com first as I assumed they'd be less expensive there. I should have stuck with my natural tendency to check everything on Amazon first; the filters were TWICE as much for only 1 at Sears, plus I would have had to pay for tax and shipping! The filters work perfectly and only need to be changed once a year, although I now change them twice a year because they're so inexpensive through Amazon.

Wrong Filter was Sent
I ordered this filter since it claimed EOM compatability; however, what I received what not even close. This filter according to [...] is rectangular with this dimensions: L: 5.10", W: 4.00", and H: 0.80" instead I received a circular filter (resembled a photo slide carousel) that was clearly mislabeled not by the manufacturer but by the seller. I have returned it. This is the second time a filter is labeled with Kenmore part #s, that I have received that is clearly the wrong part. My suggestion to all sellers, is that if you're going to use OEM part #'s on these aftermarket items, make sure that it is truly compatable esp in dimensions. To all buyers, know your dimensions before ordering and don't soley rely on part #. These items in amazon are definitely cheaper than sears (by 50 to 70%), but with the errors I've encountered (I still am without filters) I'm starting to wonder if its worth it. Good luck.

Filters good, shipping an issue
Filters themselves are good construction, sealed, and fit the unit correctly. Amazon advertises this as two filters for the given price. Many reviews had noted that vaccumsupplystore.com doesn't always ship two for the price. I took a chance, however the same thing happened to me. I contacted them later and they shipped the additional filters. So, if you order be prepared that you may need to wait for the other half.

I REALLY MISS THIS SHOW
This show was one of the best written shows to come along in a long time. I don't watch a lot of television, but I used to leave myself a note to remind me what time and channel this was on. Good thing, because it was pulled after only one season by the IDIOTS who bring you what's on now. I was ecstatic when it became available on DVD. There won't be any more, but I'll continue to watch these 22 episodes over and over (from time to time) instead of the CRAP that's on now.

My wife and I absolutely loved this television show. We were rather upset when it was cancelled after one season so we knew we had to purchase the dvd's. We looked online to see when the dvd's were to be released and our local stores almost always carry the television series. However, our 5 local "big box" stores did not sell this set in store. 2 of the stores offered the series online but Amazon had the best price!

"They" would have you believe this show was in poor taste. And they are wrong. The only ones with poor taste here are those who couldn't see Outsourced as the funny and charming l'il show that it was. The entire cast were great, and the show was really hitting its stride when it ended.For anyone thinking about a purchase but worried that it was cancelled, I will just say that the end of the season should leave you happy and satisfied, unlike most shows that annoyingly still have a cliffhanger finale even when they know they probably aren't being picked up....Oh, and to the Hollywood big-shots who run everything; please delete all the DVDs of Hogan's Heroes and M*A*S*H, as they make light of a serious situation and I choose to be offended.

The worst Lighter I have ever owned!!
I bought this precious lighter because well, it is quite beautiful but not long after I had it some of the crystals fell out and the finish wore off to reveal copper. Yes now it is really ugly and I paid a little over $30.00 for it. I have had this lighter less than a year so I found out that Colibri has a year warranty and when I went to their website, it says that the warranty does not cover the outer casing. Well yall, that is not the end of it because I purchased the Colibri outback lighter for my husband and the lid broke off but only after the locking mechanism for the lid broke. I also purchased the heart lighter in light pink pearl and in about three months the paint began chipping off luckily though the metal underneith was silver so I polished it up after removing the rest of the paint and it looks fine. I will say that these lighters are the prettiest that I have ever come across nevertheless their quality and warranty are very poor.

Pros and Cons on Teach Yourself VISUALLY Microsoft Office 2007
I found this book useful as a general overview guide to Teaching Myself VISUALLY Microsoft Office 2007. The book did not go into details in any of the sections, and it did not deal with some of the minor or advanced sections of the COMPLETE Office 2007 program, however, I do recommend it as a reasonable investment to get a quick handle on the program. It greatly helps in the transition from the old format of Office which we had from 1997 through 2003, into the new 'ribbon' format. I recommend it, but do not expect that it will answer ALL of your questions, or solve all of your change-over aches and pains. However, because I strongly believe that NOW is the time to change to a new Office system, this book is well worth the money. Go for it!

This book is too general trying to crunch very basic how-to for the entire MS Office Suite. You will find better content and tips by purchasing each book that specializes each application separately (e.g., Teach Yourself Visually Excel, Teach Yourself Visually Word, Teach Yourself Visually Outlook, etc.)

Teach Yourself Visually Microsoft Office 2007
Very informative. Good for new or experienced Office users. Recommend to help get started on Office 2007 as there are several updates in this edition. Handy to be able to refer to a book and it will walk you thru it step by step.

It is just "okay".
I purchased this book as a way to help me get up to speed on Office 2007. I am not that computer savvy and I lost out on a job because of my poor computer skills. I thought this book might help with excel, power point, etc. It was too simplified in some respects. I found that I needed a lot more instruction than I was getting from this generalized book. I did like the visual style. I believe, it would have been better if I had purchased each manual separately rather than in one book like the Office 2007. For instance, I needed to brush up on "excel" so should have bought a book just for "excel".

Useful Resource
The book walks the novice through the basics of Word 7, Excel and PowerPoint. The illustrations are exactly what you see on screen. It is good to have handy as you use your computer.

easy way to find help with MS Office
I really like the way Teach Yourself Visually helps me figure out how to use Word, Excel and Powerpoint. It shows me screen shots of where to look for the command I need and then how to use it to achieve the results I want. I am a person who really likes that approach - just reading the instructions is not enough. I think it makes it possible for me to use these very complex programs without having to take semester or year long classes. I have found it to be my kind of textbook!

Very Interesting subject matter.
This book offers very good text and great photographs on a very little known part of american automotive history. I highly recomend this book.

Small's whimsical pictures are perfectly suited to Sandburg
This book is a satisfying follow-up to David Small's last twobooks, The Gardener & The Library. Though this is an old story its optimistic message suits Small's whimsical style beautifully. I'm thoroughly confused by the review in Kirkus that criticizes the repetitive nature of the names--this is part of Sandburg's poetic form--as well as the "pointless" nature of the Huckabuck family's travels, which is actually the whole point of the story. One must take a change in luck in stride, go out and find one's new fortune, and you may even find yourself back home having learned a thing or two. Cheers (& 5 stars) to the Huckabucks, Sandburg, and David Small.

Forget this one
As a teacher who is developing an inter-disciplinary unit on popcorn, I was disappointed in this book. Spend your money on Corn Is Maize, The Popcorn Book, or even George Washington's Breakfast, all of which provide excellent background.

Mised my boat
Didn't grab my interest.My rule of thumb is that if I stay bored for two or more chapters, it's not going to get any better. There are exceptions, but I'm happy with my rule.

Waste of money
Parrot EASY-DRIVE auto Bluetooth adapter. Although not mentioned in the web site that I purchased it from, the product is no longer in production, and for a very good reason......it's junk. Paired up with cell phone OK, but the echoing and fade are so bad that it's next to impossible to communicate using it.

Billy Crawford - Big City
I have been listening to this CD for a about three months and I really like it. This cd finds Billy trying to merge into a more R&B sound than his last disc, but the change seems very normal the first song I really feel in love with was "GO Go" which is a bonus track featuring Kelli from Liberty X it's a nice club song great vocals and production. Next was the song "Magazine" which would be a great single for america very u.s. sounding again great production and then a very nice ballad called "the Jump off" it has a kinda Justin timberlake/usher falsetto part to it that is amazing, and then the singles are featured here as well "bright lights" and "Steamy Nights" both have a R Kelly fiesta Remix sound to them although they were released first I think there are a lot better songs on the actual disc, and I don't know what the label was thinking. Overall it's a excellent disc filled with great performaces and Billy's wild style.

Un and its songs
the UN sessions are very hilarious...in a good way. the songs are very catchy, and the messages the song leaves, the impressions you get from each song, are very ominous and hilarious, all at the same time. "never trust a man with egg on his face" yodels, and a horse connected to the devil are very intriguing to grasp. i recomment UN to those who have a fun time listening to full entire albums, 'coz that's the only way you're going to appreciate UN for what it is.

Solid album
I've been a fan of Chumbawamba for some time. This album does not disappoint. My favorite songs on here include "Rebel Code," and "On eBay," though the rest of the tracks are also worth a listen (or three). There's way more to this group than "Tubthumping."

Live in the area of Sammyville. Enjoyed watching to see where each of the scenes were shot. A rather true to life story line of what I know of Sammy.

A must-have for astrophysics beginners and theory lovers!
The book is a comprehensive book which guides you to the every corner of modern astrophysics.From Kepler's Law to Relativity, from the geocentric model to modern cosmology, this book gives very clear descriptions of every aspect that you might be interested in.The mathematical equations and formulaes are clear and tidy, wordings are simple enough to understand.Therefore, not only if you are to take an astrophysics course at university, even if you just a high-school student or an amateur who is interested in knowing more about our universe, well, maybe in an mathematical way, this is a book for you.

Too difficult for the average reader
This book is a bit too professional for anyone who is just starting an astrophysics course.......the provided questions really screw up ur brain.....but if ur sure u have a good solid pure math and advanced physics background then go ahead and buy it otherwise check out other books.....

Love this cd!
I was introduced to Dr. Charles Hayes many years ago. I was so pleased to find his cd on amazon. I wish I could find his DVD live like I seen in the past. He has one of the greatest choirs in the nation. The purchase of this cd is like my living testimony. I highly recommend the purchase of this cd.

Not for beginners
Wonderful. No fluff in this book. It begins with some tricky ones that actually require several minutes to finish and gets downright hard after that. Some take hours, and often I just quit one puzzle and come back to it another day.The various shapes/styles are a great break from the 9x9 norm. The 6x6 puzzles are absolutely vicious. Nothing like kids 6x6 sudokus that take an advanced puzzler seconds to complete. And I love the jigsaw shapes. Watch out for the 9x9 jigsaws!There should be more advanced sudoku books like this. As recommended by others, this should not be your first foray into sudoku. But once you are hooked on the light stuff, this is a nice challenge.

This books makes Sudoku even more fun
If you like Sudoku but the puzzles seem to be getting dull, try the variants in this book. Different sizes and arrangements make new puzzles out of an old game.

A teddy to withstand the test of time...
Ty Griddles - Brown BearThis authentic Classic TY Bear will not only withstand the test of time, but will probably "bear," many a tearful, sick, or scared super-snuggle. It can withstand some dragging, pulling at the arms, and probably will live through the dog mistakingly thinking it is her new toy. The only caveat I have about this classic bear is that you will probably want more than one!

seller is cheater
The seller of this card shuffer is a cheater. He didn't send the card shuffler that is shown in the image, instead he sent me a cheap, totally different card shuffler that is usually around $12. He charged me $24.67. Also the box is already open, the packaging suggested me that it is a used one and not a brand new card shuffler.
