Trash. Avoid at all costs.
Asylum changed the name of their movie to 'John Carter of Mars' after the Disny/Pixar movie 'John Carter' was released. It was originally called 'A Princess Of Mars.' Horrible movie. Horrible effects. Horrible acting. It's not even good in a bad way. It's just plain bad. The book is in the public domain and that's the only way they got away with making this piece of crap.Traci Lords as the most beautiful and desirable woman on two planets? Please. She wouldn't be the most beautiful woman on a one woman planet. What a waste of plastic and bandwidth. If I could give it a negative star I would... This is the real John Carter:John Carter (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Out of the Dust
Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse was a very well written book. It kept me wondering throughout the entire story of Bilee jo's life and her family. I enjoyed reading her story in free verse. The author wrote in clear and understandable language. Karen Hesse also put thought and feelings into her work. There are so many emotions you will feel in this book. To me the sadest part of the book was when bilee jos mom died because she was burnt so badly and people think its Bilee Jo's fault. Another emotional part of the book was when the dust storms occured. Bilee Jo explained that many people that she knew in her town died or or got pneumonia. Although there are parts of the book that are sad the ending suprised me the most. It shocked me that Billee Jo's dad found someone new that he will spend the rest of his life with. On a rating of 1-10 I would rate this book a 9.

I Never will Forget It!
When I was a child I saw this movie dozens of times! My older sisters use to watch on the Prism Cable channel. I use to cringe at most of the movie but I would always be peeking through my fingers to see what would happen next! For years I looked for this movie, and no store ever carried it. Thank God for Amazon.com. This past Halloween my fiance and I went to a video store in the mall looking for great horror flicks and he is dying to see what all the fuss is about this movie. I am so glad I will be able to show him a good horror flick now that I found it! Hey Janice,"Molly! " One of the greatest movies of all times. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. If anyone has the VHS version I would gladly like to have a copy and would gladly pay you for it! Please email me.

Lord of the rings game AWESOME!
THis is by far the best game i have ever played. i have always desired to have more than cards in card games and now i have it! i think of it as a 3d card game. you collect more minarutures to expand your army. its exactly the hobby ive been searching for. The plastic models in this set break once in a while like when i put them in a box like the one that came with the stuff standed them up and my mom put stuff on top not knowing they were in there. or the time my dog ran off with a goblin. the metal ones hold to gether better and make you feel proud to look at after you paint them. i am 12 and have never played a game like this and the rules were a bit complicating. WARNING the miniratures are miniratures only about an inch tall. dont expect action figure size stuff(exept the balrog)

I LOVE THESE BOOKS SO MUCH
I am an eleven year old girl in sixth grade. I live in America. I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!!!!! They could not be improved in any way. They are perfect! The characters are described perfectly. The plots are purely brilliant. I don't care about what parents are saying in South Carolina and South Dakota. I have read each of the first three books four times already and am reading the third a fifth time. They are magnificent, wonderful, great and fun to read! They are simply brilliant! I am being Hermione Granger for Halloween. My friend is too. I know a girl in fifth grade who is being Harry!! Pretty amazing, eh. The only bad thing I have to say is how to pronounce Hermione. That's all I have to say.PS I honestly can't wait for them all to be out. I wish I could have a hint about the plot of the next ones.

OOOOOOOPs, I forgot to write an ending
My my my, another gore novel minus an ending. You better have read the prequels to this to understand the characters: you know, the stay at home Dad who is married to the overzealous detective; the mother of the Pathologist who seems to have been evil but you are given no clue why; the sex starved stalking priest who you think is the killer until he disappears from view around page 200. I could go on and on, what a disappointment. Enough gore Ms. Gerritsen, write an ending and develop your characters. A waste of money, should have waited for the paperback, would have burned better in the fireplace. You want to read a thriller? Pick up "What matters Blood". That is a fun read. I put Mephisto Club in the category of a Patricia Cornwall novel, it's like kissing your sister. Ain't nothin to it! OOOOOPs, I ain't got a sister and this book ain't got an ending!

Not a Guy Book
In this book there is a kid named Vince Luca. He is a high school student whose life is different than anyone else's. His dad is a mob boss, making his life really weird. Vince's dad is constantly interfering with his dating life. Vince's brother also works in the mob with his father. When his brother and his dad try to help him with his dating things go horribly wrong. Then he meets a girl he really likes, but he can tell his family about it because her father works for the FBI. Her dad has been trying to put Vince's dad in jail for years.I dislike the title of this book. It is very misleading. When I picked up this book I thought it was going to be filled with action and cool things, but in reality it is a book about dating.I think a girl would like this book. I has a lot of dating things in it.

Great Voice
I am prejudiced, let me say. I think Alessandra Marc has one of the most gorgeous voices I have ever heard. Some don't enjoy her mannerisms. I'm afraid I do. She does not appear on every selection, and there are the occasional disappointments (the breaths she must take in the climax of Helena's Awakening Scene, for example). The Barber is spine-tingling. Makes me want to hear her do Andromache's Farewell! If her style doesn't appeal, fine. She gives me more pleasure than any opera singer since my beloved Leonie Rysanek. A big, sumptuous voice! It would rate five stars except for the fact that the orchestra/choal episodes are fine, not great. And Marc is not totally comfortable in all the repertoire.

Re-Mastered in 1998 or 2003? Audio quality is garbage
I bought this from an Amazon dealer as used. I chose the 2003 release, but the seller "good_clean" sent me a 1998 release. I see two release dates for this cd. So, which is correct and how did this get two different release dates??? The 1998 release I received was in excellent condition and arrived as described (punch hole in the bar code back cover art). The audio quality for this RE-MASTER is horrific!!! It's close to sub par analog quality. I paid almost $20.00 for a USED cd, because these cd's are out of print. Yes, the songs are awesome but the quality of sound for a Re-Master is non-existent. I assume this is why it was forced to shut down at the manufacturing plant. DO NOT BUY THIS CD!

Failures are probably power related
I bought a Philips DVP642 which failed after 4 months. The warranty was only 3 months. So I picked up a DXP1000. It failed after 16 months with a "no disk" error. But I think this was because of my erratic power. It failed right after my UPS failed. At the same time 2 DVD drives on my PC failed without the protection of the ups. It appears DVD drives and players are particularly sensitive to power irregularity. I bet many of the reviewers failures were caused by not using a UPS. I will order another Avayon. One advantage of the Avayon over the Philips is the switch in the back to disconnect the power. When my Philips failed they told me I should have been unplugging it when not in use.

One more trick in your bag
I have a pretty mellow baby who only gets cranky when he is tired and needs help to fall asleep. In the beginning I would always tie the wrap too loose because I didn't want to squeeze the baby. Then I started to wear it tighter. It takes a while until you figure out how tight to wear it to make it comfortable for yourself and your baby. I find it particularly helpful after I tried nursing, changing diapers, burping, and the crying baby only wants to be held. After my back and arms are sore and I start getting in a bad mood I get the moby wrap. When the baby is not happy in the wrap at first I try some bouncing until he relaxes. I always tighten the wrap while holding the baby. I've found it impossible to tighten it first and then put the baby in. It's always too loose or too tight. I would recommend this wrap as it's one more trick in a parent's bag to survive the first year of the baby.

A Hair Metal Band With Not Much Hair
WOW!!! What a great comeback album!!! Firehouse is back. This album rocks like the good ol'e days. If your looking for classic firehouse, like the first 2 albums, then this one is for you. I was honored to see them perform just a couple of days ago for free. It was a hour and a half of free music, and these boys can still rock and roll. Go get this album, and i promise, you wont be let down. Great singing with great guitar and drums, what else could you ask for? Welcome back Firehouse!!!

Flawed design - but saves on propane!
Well, I'd have to say this product does do what it was design to do - it cooks eggs, bacon, and pancakes fine. But, there is a major design flaw as far as I'm concerned. When you cook something with lots of grease (e.g. bacon), the grease just runs off the sides through the holes (visible in the picture) into the body of the grill with the burners are. It then ignites creating a turbo cook mode! I was able to turn the gas off completely and cook the entire meal off bacon fat. As 'green-friendly' as this maybe, I really didn't care for the approach. What a MESS to clean up!If you only plan to cook eggs or panacakes, it works fine. Just make sure you have it PERFECTLY level. I lost an entire egg through one of the side holes due to a little slant. You can imagine what my stove looked like after this breakfast ;-)

A negative trade-off
This movie is loved by just about every art director I know. They loved it because it looks great. No argument there. No surprises either as Gilliam is art-based. But the price you pay for a visual feast is that the story is an indulgent, non-involving fantasy which just goes on forever. If you're into a fairy tale that uses more and more detail in an attempt to make itself real, and constantly rewards the eyes then it will all come together magically for you. Seems like a lot of reviewers feel like this. But for me, the trade-off between how the film looks versus pretty much everything else about it ends up in the negative. None of the performances stood out. It did not hold my interest. I could not watch this movie to the end after two attempts. Enough, already.

Don't Awaken Not Lonely
I know it isn't supposed to, and I'm not complaining, but 'Dr. Brilliant' evokes both 'Scarborough Fair/Canticle' and 'Incense And Peppermints'. It's maddening. How do they do this? SLEEPER COACH is a mostly less accessible follow up to PAJAMA AVENUE - - the opener, 'Sea Bastards' sort of grinds its way into your subconscious, if not your heart; 'Underneath' is an audio hanging garden. Humid and green. Languid. 'Alleyville' explores that same hazily bright landscape that PAJAMA AVENUE's 'Back To Dangerous' did . . . In short, this is extroardinarily visual music. The closest SLEEPER COACH gets to conventional song structure is 'Don't Be Lonely' - - a song which manages to evoke all kinds of reasons for being just that. Intriguing.

About nothing and about all ...
Roberto Arlt (1900-1942) was an important Argentinian writer. This isn't his most well-known book, but it is probably his more enjoyable one.Why do I say that?. I find "Aguafuertes porteñas" peculiarly enthralling. This unusual book is about nothing and about all. It compilates some short articles that Arlt wrote for the newspaper "El Mundo" (from Buenos Aires, Argentina), between 1928 and 1933. The subject of those articles was the "porteño's idiosyncrasy", shown clearly by the author's cutting and acid observations. The stories are many, and the characters different, but all of them, taken as a whole, allow us to appreciate the diverse components of Buenos Aires' society, at that time.This book is very easy to read, provided you speak Spanish. Arlt's style is concise and straightforward, and I think you will enjoy it. All in all, highly recommended !!!Belen Alcat

Useless
I ordered this knife because I use another of these Winchester branded knives everyday. I'm a farmer and I need a good dependable knife which holds its edge and lays in the pocket comfortably. My wife likes my knife for managing hay bales in the barn. She likes it a little too much, so I purchased another one for her. Problem is: this one is junk. Its unuseable and too dangerous for anybody to handle. Once open, I can't close it. I can not work the release lever to allow the knife to fold. It's obvious that the nineteen cents per hour factory doesn't have a quality control program. I'm going to toss it.You take a chance buying this knife. I'm fifty/fifty, one good - one bad.I'll get a Gerber tomorrow.

waste of time and money
This will only leave you dazed and confused. Writing by the numbers is the worst way to write anything. I'd like to see a screnplay that this guy has written (if he is even capable of it) before I take his advice. Do you see what I'm getting here? He can't write a screenplay, but he can give others advice on how to do it. Huh? Run that by me again. Actually, it's not that difficult to figure out: since he can't write a screenplay he has, however, devised a way to make money writing these how-to books--and lots of it. Fine, for him--but not so good for you, because this is advice coming from someone without credentials.

Most Annoying Software Ever
I received Norton Internet Security as part of a new HP system. I am not impressed. Fact, is certain viruses are less annoying than this software. As has been noted, Norton Internet Security is annoying in that it reminds you every day to "renew now or later". I have a thirty day free subscription and feel that I'm bugged to death or being Blackmailed. In addition, I often receive MORE popups with their "matters needing attention" which includes subscribing again. They make the box to click off the popup really small. Today this box became a zombie process and it couldn't be clicked off. Thanks, Norton. In addition, I'm not sure why paying for a piece of software shouldn't get me the same results as free anti-viruses such as AVG and Spyware doctor. Both of them have found viruses that Norton has missed on my system. Norton does more than anti-virus, but they also charge more. Don't reply to spam in your mailbox and don't encourage Norton by buying their harsh shrill.

Had to fastforward through the boring and other parts....
Please read the other reviews... I found them more interesting than watching the movie. The only reason I gave it 2 stars versus one is because the filmmaker does make interesting points about life and idiotic relationships. He does touch on real human weaknesses and expose them, and maybe that was why it was painful for me to watch some of it? I really disliked the main male protagonist... the Director. Yes, he was damaged, but why inflict it on other damaged souls? I feel he was using the women to cure his writers block. I wished the women would've turned around and run from him.. immediately... and kept their dignity. The ending was also unexpected... unpredictable... abrupt, but gave me some hope. OK, so you can get stuck in life, but with a little help you can get out. Maybe this film is a cautionary tale?

The Worst
This is a belated review. I actually bought this router 4.5 years ago. It was a Version 2.0. It was an awful first experience for a home wireless network. Initial setup wasn't too difficult. But, it would drop its wireless signal every few days and need to be completely reconfigured. I spent numerous hours on the phone with Linksys Tech Support (India) over several weeks to get my network going again. I finally gave up, but the return period had expired.After on-line research and word-of-mouth recommendations, I bought a Netgear WGR614. It has just failed after 4.5 years and I have purchased the same Netgear model as a replacement. It has never dropped its wireless signal.It is possible Linksys has improved this router over the years. I know this is probably the most common router out there. But, I would never consider one again.

Contrived and predictable
I have read Nicholas Sparks "Message in the Bottle" and "The Notebook" and thoroughly enjoyed them. When I picked up "A Walk to Remember" I was immediately intrigued. This time my version was the talking book type. I popped the cassette into my car stereo and after only a few minutes, the mood was set. I immediately began to dislike this book. Mistake number one was that it was read by the author, in monotone, who obviously has no professional broadcasting or acting training. I tried to get past that and really listened to the story. I couldn't believe how contrived and predictable it was. This is the sappiest book I have ever read. I took a sudden dislike to wimpy Landon Carter and the unbelievably geeky Jamie. There is so much wrong with this book that it makes me afraid to read the author's next novel. If I do get over the fact that this book was a waste of my time and venture to read any more of this man's work, I will be sure to proceed with caution.

Beware: This is for very young kids
Many of the literature I saw about this set was that it was for all ages. I thought it was meant to teach your child in a dramatic way about the life of the composers. I was dead wrong. It was very lame! My kids hated it. They are teen, and preteen. Even I thought it was stupid. I would NOT recommend this except possibly for the very young. It does NOT teach about the composers, it is simply a modern (lame) story with the composers music in the background. They don't even talk about what songs they are or who composed them. I would steer away from this product!

Where is the a capella Somewhere?
I was listening to a pledge drive-rendition of this show in the background while working on the computer, and was all of a sudden rivted by the four-part a capella harmony on Bernstein's "Somewhere". Wow! Concert? I will go! I went to buy the recording, but that number is not present. Huh?? I listened to the rest of the show, and I would say 75% of it is powerless elevator music. Sigh. I would spend much money to go listen for hours to these women sing spot-on harmony like that on Somewhere, despite the lack of open throat. There was so much could have done here. I just don't understand it. Who picked this music? Who picked what was to be included on the CD?

Three strikes you're out!
When I first hooked this scanner up I had some problems, so I called for help. The assistant on the other line was rude, and seemed to be in a hurry. I have installed this scanner on my BRAND NEW computer, and oops, mouse slows down, commands slow down, everything slows down and doen't respond. I did a system restore. Installed the scanner again, same problem. Yes, you guessed it I tried a third time. That's it I am returning this product. How could a company sell a product like this. Also, another customer had mentioned that he had Windows ME (2000) and thought that maybe the CD wasn't compatable, I also thought this, but certainly a good company would have updated their software by now. Or let me know when I was on the phone, that some customers may experience system problems. Do not buy this product, don't let the low price fool you.

Another effects movie and nothing else.
I grew up in a simplier time. This was the late 50's and early 60's. As a kid I'd spend my Saturdays at the neighborhood theatre enjoying grade B horror films from Roger Corman, Hammer and, of course, the latest Toho Godzilla movie. When I heard Godzilla was being remade into a multi million dollar film I couldn't wait to see it. Unfortunately I got my wish. After seeing this new version of Godzilla I had the same sinking feeling I had after seeing Godfather III. All the money the producers threw at this picture can't save it. A confusing script, an overdose of cheezy computer generated effects, sloppy editing, mis cast actors, weak music and alot of money waisted. What is sad is the fact that the money was there to make it right. It all starts with a decent script. Give me King Kong vs Godzilla any day over this mess. Hopefully, someday, Hollywood will remember how to make films, not video games. Jamey Moore

Don't buy garbage!!
Save your money because you will have to haul this thing to the dump in two years. We bought one three years ago and loved it all summer. The next summer, though, the coating started to flake off of the cooking grate. We called the Customer Service line and they sent us another grate. So we had another great summer. But guess what? This summer, the same thing is happening, only now they're telling me (at CharBroil.com's customer service line) that they won't replace the grate because the grill is out of warranty. Never mind that the grate is only a year old, they were surly, rude, and generally abusive both times I called. They should be ashamed to be producing and selling such a cheap and horrible product. And now, the plastic that surrounds the ice chest is cracking so the yellow insulation shows through. And we can't see through the window to tell if it's lighted anymore.Horrible, horrible product. JUNK.

Best video series I have found
I have purchased several of the video series. Baby Genius and Bee Smart are pretty good. I also having the Signing Time videos. While I love Signing Time, my son is not quite into it yet. None of them keep my 7 month old fascinated like the Baby Einstein series. I have the language skills, bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Doolittle is a little disappointing. I have not purchased Newton yet, and may not, due to reading of the reviews. But, in comparison to the other series out there, Baby Einstein is the top. I still use the other videos, because they seem to provide more direct education. Yet, I have to work harder to keep my son's attention with the other videos. Just today, my son was getting fussy and would not soothe. I turned on baby Mozart and he has not made a peep. I may not get him to sleep anytime soon, though.

Very good mixer for the price.
Well I was starting my own podcast and I needed a mixer. I'm on a small budget, so I didn't want to drop a ton of money on it. I tried setting this up without reading the manual and I definitely wouldn't suggest it. After I read the manual, it was pretty easy to set up. I only have two complaints about the product though.1. There's no on/off switch for the input. I sure wish I could just turn off an input without turning the volume all the way down on it.2. On the merged 3/4 and 5/6 inputs, if you only have one plugged in (right channel for instance) it is bridged across left and right. However, if you plug in the second input, 3 goes to left and 4 goes to right, instead of bridging them across both channels. I know that it's the way it's supposed to work, but I wish it would bridge them.Other than that, it does a great job. Very solid little mixer. I'd definitely buy it again.

Deante Dance is fun
I have bought many exercise and fitness videos in the past and I have become bored with the same routines. I was looking for something different and new to try, and I found Deante Dance. I am very happy with the results. After just a few weeks, I see my body getting toned and my clothes are feeling looser. That is really keeping up my motivation. What I really enjoy about Deante is that it is different from the basic exercise videos. You feel like you are dancing, while using your muscles and burning off calories. The dance instructor Karen teaches the moves and she is very easy to understand. I was dancing after the first try. The music is great and the beat keeps me moving. I have been using these DVDs almost every morning and now it is my routine. I recommend these DVDs highly to anyone that wants to get a good work out while they are dancing. It's a lot of fun and already I'm losing weight and seeing a difference.

THIS SPEEDOMETER IS JUNK
You are wasting your money by buying this speedometer. One thing is the speedometer doesn't come with instructions. Anohter thing is that the grey round thing would not fit between the forks on my bike. I had to make the hole bigger. Once I was able to fit it on I thought my problems would by over. I was wrong. When I went to ride my bike the grey round thing broke within the first mile. The thing that catchs the spokes bent and gear inside chewed its way through the plastic until it got stuck. It will no longer turn. I received the speedometer in the mail this morning and it already broke by this afternoon. The grey round thing is made out of cheap plastic and does not apear that it was made to last. Mine sure didn't.

Best scale I've ever owned.
Hands down. I didn't want to pay such a relatively high price for a scale. Indeed, I originally ordered a much cheaper Tanita model that I later discovered was out of stock. Yet I am glad I finally ordered this model. This scale is extremely accurate and easy to read. First touch your memory preset button with your toe and wait a few seconds for the digital display to read "0.0." Then Step on it, the scale locks in on your weight, and you can get off to check the results. Very easy to use after you do it the first time. The scale is wider than normal, but I like that. It's easy to place your feet. Fortunately the scale is quite thin, easy to store and easy to pick up from the side. Five memory settings are good for families and I love the "previous weight" reading. Gives me incentive to do better. Some have complained about this feature, but it doesn't bother me at all. If my spouse knows my weight, all the more incentive to lose it.

I hate Algebra and I hate this book!
I'm right on the verge of graduating and the only thing standing between me and my degree is this stupid College Algebra class, filled with useless information that I'm quite certain I'll never use again! Ok now that I've vented about that, I must say that I cannot understand why my college switched from Blitzer's College Algebra 2nd Edition to this text. As you may have guessed this isn't my first attempt at passing this *#$% class. A few semesters ago when I took it we used Blitzer's book, and while it was still Algebra and fairly loathesome, at least it was somewhat understandable! This book is clearly written for students who are good at advanced math and plan to go on to higher math. (Talk of Calculus in the pre-chapter! God help me!) Ok, so what if you don't plan on doing that? What if you are just taking this class because your state government says you have to or you can't graduate? I wish someone would write a Collge Algebra text for the rest of us!!!

Was never the same after
SO I'm not a professional reviewer and have only seen her once in concert, but live she is just so delicatly voiced and with almost child-like playfullness. Her album was only good for me bc I have heard her sing the sings directly and had some residual memory from that. I like her a lot, she attaches a lot more to me as a human being than just a singer songwriter. I found some of the later songs on the album to be tedious and dragging. My favorites are Cosmic and story telling girls, and she was absolutly adorable doing 1984. Orion was just devastating (in a good way) in person bc we were fortunate to hear her explaination. Very clever. I think at times her political writing becomes too over-bearing for me. I would Four star- the first half of the ablum absolutly. The second half, I'm still working on warming up to it. She has definitly effected me and I certianly wasn't the same after that show. Give her a shot, see for yourself.

This books sits in a dark closet
Want to learn flash? Get the FOUNDATION in Flash book. I ordered a couple of books for flash including this one. I though this would provide more detailed GRAPHICS and interactivity after the basics were learned. I opened this book, I then opened the Foundation in flash book, then proceeded to put this one away for future exploration. The Foundation in flash book was great, an ongoing project in each chapter to develop a flash site, tons of pictures and step by step instructions..etc.. I came back to this book and was amazed at how different, dull, and General it was. There really was no Special Graphics or interactivity here. The Foundation of flash book had more examples of actionscript and interactivity than this. So if your looking to learn flash, don't get this. If you want a reference book on basic flash with a little bit of actionscript that you want to keep in a dark closet to read again "Just Incase" you missed something, then, well this book is for you.

HORRIBLE
I have to buy one of these pieces of crap every single year. This one is no exception. No matter where you buy these things, nobody stocks the filters. Have to order them online.No biggie. After 1 year using it during the winter the fan starts making all types of noise. Not only that but from day 1 the thing seems to work, however it blows the moisture out of the bottom, so it basically humidifies the floor of the room and not the room. Excellent design Honeywell.Honeywell, Holmes and all the rest of them should do the world a favor and STOP MAKING PRODUCTS THAT DON'T WORK.DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF RUBBISH!!!We still wake up with stuffed noses, and chapped skin. THE PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK.I'll be looking at the sharper image humidifier that actually blows out a mist you can see. This thing does not. This thing is an absolute POFS!!!!

Bugs mar an otherwise stellar review
I would love to give this game 5 stars overall - but I can't. The game is exceptionally fun to play, with great graphics and excellent stealth play alongside a well-thought storyline. The BUGS, however, are too much! The game crashes each time a new level loads. At one point it required a complete reinstall, because after one of the crashes it just wouldn't fire up anymore. Save games get overwritten without notice. The "Quick OPSAT" button is buggy. Once I hit reload on my weapon, and lost all weapon functionality entirely - couldn't shoot, couldn't reload, couldn't put the weapon away. These bugs bring my overall review from 5 stars to 2... which is a complete shame. My friend has it on xbox 360 and it's a stellar experience, showing what kind of quality title it *could* have been. It's a real shame that the PC did not receive the same attention to detail and quality production that the 360 did.

The quick and the dead are identical in this book.
With the exception of Dr. John Larch, Homer Wells, and Melony, all of the characters in this book are as thin as the paper they are printed on. It is a novel, so things happen, but nothing really matters or has any effect on anyone's life. Not so that you care about it. One couple arrives to take in Homer, and you know that they are going to die at the first hint of danger. They do. Once again Homer hitchhikes back to the orphanage. These three are all attached to the orphanage by some kind of umbilical cord. The nurses and the other orphans barely exists since their character developement is so poor. This book and its author have joined my list of books/authors that I will never read another word of. There are far too many adequate books to read to bother with this book. ...

It really works!!!
Sea Monkeys are truly amazing! They hatch right when you add bottled water!! They are really gentle and swim in perfect whirls! I highly reccomend this set because this is the tank that started it all!! It is every kid's dream to actually hatch and grow instant life!! It is really true what the manufacturer says! Sea Monkeys do not require high maintenence! They are really fun to watch, don't take up a lot of space, and are easy to set up and care for!! Any Sea Monkey Set makes the greatest gift a kid could ever ask for! Just remember never to place the tank in direct sunlight, and never place it on an unstable surface or where it can get knocked over or they'll die. Carry the tank with both hands but never ever pick it up from the lid. When they hatch, they are only about the size of the period at the bottom of the exclamation mark end of this sentence!

Dave's update
I promised an update. Still no TV. The customer service is atrocious. My credit card company is now trying to help me out with this problem. Buyer beware.....Amazon beware. This product/company is far to poor to be sold on this web site. I have never had a problem with Amazon. They are always curteous and genuinely want to help. Philips is full of rhetoric and B.S. No responses to e-mails, a dozen phone calls, and still no action. Next stop.......Better Business Bureau.P.S.Stay tuned

A Match Would Work Better
I've had this for a year or two, I don't remember. When I first saw this, I thought it would be a great tool for small jobs in my computer room or garage. I was wrong. In order for the tool to heat, both contacts in the tips must be in contact with the work piece. The contacts in the tips are extremely small. Thus, even the slightest movement will break the heating circuit. I found using this tool extremely frustrating and not worth the effort. Today, I discovered, quite by accident, that if you jam a piece of wire between the top of the tips, the tool will remain heated. There are positive aspects to this tool, but if you can't make it work, what's the point of discussing them. In the end, the bottom line is that it's quicker, easier and way less frustrating to run an extension cord and use a traditional soldering iron. Don't waste your money.

Gatsby Lite.
Woooosh! That sucking sound you hear might not be the economy. Clunk! And that sound is McInerny dropping the ball. Finishing this one, I felt set up and knocked down. Brightness Falls was so very very good and this was so very very not. While Bright Lights and Story of My Life had their share of intriguing sections mixed in with amateurishness (let's not even get into Ransom), even the not so great parts were excusable in my mind, able to be explained away by the whole "he's still finding his true voice" deal. With Brightness Falls, a beautiful multitextured flow was achieved. And then this. The strength of Jay Gatsby as a character, and he's an obvious influence here, is that there is a charm to him despite his arrogant jerkiness, etc. I dare you to find a way to care about Will Savage. A real disappointmen

TERRIFIC, OUTSTANDING, LOIS DUNCAN HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!
This book was the second book I have ever read that was written by Lois Duncan, and I loved it!!! It has mystery and horror all mixed into one story. I recommend this book to those who love mystery and horror books, but if you get scared easily I suggest you don't read this book. The only part of this book that was dull was the first few chapters. All the rest was REALLY exciting.This book is about a girl named Laurie who finds out that she is adopted and has a twin sister named Lia. Lia at first scares Laurie, but soon Laurie wants to be Lia's friend. But, then weird things start happening. Laurie's best friend is found unconsious in the park, and Laurie's boyfriend is missing. Is this all Lia's doing, has she turned evil. Is Lia starting to take over Laurie's life. You will have to read this book in order to find out!

Great . . . if you drive a bus!
This seat is comfy & surrounds your baby with padding. The super-easy recline is a GREAT feature! BUT . . . it takes up TONS of space. We installed in our Ford Explorer. Even with the front seat almost all the way forward, there's still only 4-6 inches available for baby to dangle his legs & feet. No way would his feet fit with the seat in full recline position. Unfortunately, it's going back to the store! :-(

Doyle is great.
I listen to a lot of blues and blues related, inluenced etc. music and even though I love it, it can wear on you after awhile. Especially when it is a continual stream of classic retreads of people trying to better the originals or perhaps just trying to prove that they can play them as good as the original performer (which is rarely ever the case). Doyle is not one of those people. Even on his previous cds, his covers were injected with his own ideas and personality. On this cd of all originals he does a great job. Big beats and cool guitars are the call of the day. His singing is superb. The first time I heard him it was more than a little apparent where Stevie Ray Vaughn learned to sing. Don't be confused on this, it was definatly Doyle doing the teaching. Maybe not a total monster but scarey as hell. I love it!!

This is the best movie....
Finding Nemo is definatly one of the greatest Disney And Pixar movies I've seen so far. The movie is great for younger kids as well as older people. The actors voices fit the characters very well. Ellen Degenerse is the voice of Dory the blue fish, she does a wounderful job. She really brings the Dory th life. The whole movie is really funny. At times I think the movie could of been a little bit better like there could of been more about when Nemo after he got saved. Or when the other fish excape from the fish tank. Overall the movie was great. I would recommend this movie to people of all ages. The way that the movie comes together is really cool. One of the best parts is when Marlin and Dory meet the squirt and the other turtles. Squirt is the baby turtle and he is cute and funny.

My Final DeWalt Purchase
I have a lot of DeWalt tools. I've got a 10 year old drill that's seen good and bad nearly every day, and it works like it did out of the box. Not so with this compressor.Like others have said, I experienced a motor failure after a very short run time, maybe 20 hours at best. It was purchased from HD, and they were unhelpful. The best they could say was "we can send it out for repair and *if* they deem it a manufacturing defect, they'll fix it. Otherwise I'll be charged up to $100 for the repair. If it'll be more than $100 we'll call for authorization. ...And it'll be 4-6 weeks." Being in a pinch, I purchased an exact replacement on the spot, only to find out it had been used, and after a few minutes of running the sound changed, which indicated that something was already in the early stage of failure. HD got that one back.I hope you enjoyed your run, DeWalt. I eagerly anticipate your collapse.

Personal experience with Bill Seifert
Having a copy of this book is the next best thing to actually having Bill aboard. I have had the privilege of knowing and sailing with Bill for over 12 years. While I had sailed all my life, I had never done any offshore work until after I met Bill. His teaching prepared me and my family for the satisfying challenges of offshore sailing. He has sailed with me on 4 Marion-Bermuda races including the 2001 race in which we were first in Class A, and 2nd(by one minute) on elapsed time. He is an excllent teacher and a resourceful boat keeper. He is also an outstanding offshore gourmet cook.(That is another story, maybe even a book.) Many of the tips in this book were generated by his experiences on my Alden 50 cutter, Despedida and on her successor, a new Alden 54 cutter. I would not go offshore without having read this book and having it aboard. With this book, all aspiring to sail offshore, can have Bill aboard.

Don't bother!!!
This video is junk. The first hint was the Chevrolet ad on the front cover of the VHS box. Then the first 3 minutes is an ad for a Chevy van. Half way through the video they make a trip to the hardware store, in their new Chevy van. They then explain that these ads are important because the video would have been more expensive if they didn't have the advertisement.In the video all windows and doors went into perfectly level and plumb frames. No trouble shooting or hints. For example they installed some new french doors. He says, lets check to see if the threshold is level? Perfect, ok, let's nail it up. Oh, and they hammer in all nails. No pneumatic nailers or cordless drills. 1/3 of the video is watching them hammer in nails. What a waste of my time and money.If you want a great video "Tom Law" has an excellent video. "Gary Katz" has a very good book and so does "Scott McBride.

A Cult Classic...
PCU has probably made more money in rentals than it did in the theater. I can't really figure out why. Bad marketing maybe. I'll admit that it isn't the best comedy or story, but I think PCU deserves more credit than it got. Everyone I know who saw it said they liked it. The whole PC thing is just insane, and watching this exagerrated expression poke fun at it is bliss.PCU should be required veiwing for all those going into college. Protests, special interest groups, meat chucking, and a very ticked off senior class all come down on the shoulders of a pre-frosh whose scoping out the school. He meets up with the right guys and fights the system. Beautiful.At least do yourself a favor and watch it once. If your going to college it's a great training video, if you've been, it's a little piece of the past. GO TO SLEEP! IT'S TIME TO GO TO SLEEP! AAAHHHHHH!

What a surprise!
I've had my DR-MV1S for a little over a year, and only used it occasionally. Well, all of a sudden the front panel started flashing "loading" non-stop...accompanied by the flashing blue display light across the whole front of the machine. This happened all on its own. I wasn't even using the thing. After looking through the instruction book for a clue, I finally just tried to turn it off by holding the power button and then the stop button, as directed. Nothing. I tried unplugging the unit for a while and then plugging it back in. "Loading, loading" started flashing again. That brought me to the internet to see if anyone else has had this happen to them. Well, apparently so. Thanks for all of your posts. I won't even bother to send this garbage in for repair.

Brilliant
There is something about this guy. The drugs...yeah, yeah, I know. Kate Moss...yeah, heard about her, too. The look? Doubt it. It's something else. His music just seems to work. It's raw, but catchy. It's rough, but delicate. It's real. And maybe that's just something that is hard to find in today's musical landscape.

Swing is a charm... motor not so charming!
I have twin boys who just love their swings! I'm not sure who loves it more... Mom or boys?! The swing works in cradle motion (side to side) and front to back. Cradle is a preference here. The fish that rotate around the babies heads made no impact until they turned about 2 1/2 months old. They don't take their eyes off them!!! That's when we first began to notice the boys tracking and following objects. Soon after, the fish slowed down and eventually stopped rotating. After several crying fits of "why won't the fish move", I decided to call Fisher Price. They sent out two brand new motors two days later. They were easily replaceable and now I have two happy babies again!Fisher Price was very helpful and I will always consider that when purchasing their items. No questions asked... just model numbers and that was all. The ONLY reason I rated this swing 4 stars instead of 5 was because I had to make the call. Highly recommended item!

A major let down
I couldn't believe ir when I read this book, I expected so much and I got nothing. Butterfly (Janet) gets adopted, moves, goes to ballet, then leaves. That's it nothing else happened. The reader does not find out anything about Janet's past, the family she's with, and nothing major really happens to her. I think the V.C. Andrews ghost writer(s) had better rethink what they are doing to her name, because their story writting is going down hill big time. I was a major fan, now I couldn't care less. What a let down to the V.C. Andrew name. Ghost writers learn how to write, your lossing readers!!

nothing but problems and rides off keel and unsafe
For some reason, this thing always sits off keel, not perpendicular to the road. I've tried to adjust and readjust, tighten and retighten, but nothing seems to help. In addition, the seat post attachment seems to pivot out of position fairly easily, making it easy to jackknife the trailer even when not turning. Last but not least, something went haywire with the axle during the middle of a ride and the wheel would no longer turn. We walked back to the car. Next day I took it to a shop where the guy was able to remove and reinstall the ring and hypothesized that it hadn't been properly tightened at the factory. We've had one too many mishaps with this thing and my daughter is now afraid to ride it, so I'll be looking for a higher quality solution. Hopefully she isn't turned-off riding altogether. I really hoped this thing would at least be up for basic recreational riding, but not so. Maybe we just got a lemon? In any case, I'm done with it.

Absolutely Perfect
I recently bought this unit. I am completely pleased. The upscaling is perfect, not a hint of distortion. The sound is incredible. I've long felt that receivers either were meant for movies, or music, not both. This one does both incredibly well. It's 7 channel stereo is incredible. The DSP settings for movies are also very nice, not at all gimmicky like some other receivers. The auto setup and leveling feature with the mic is a breeze to use, cutting out hours of fiddling with levels to get things perfect. I'm using 9 130 watt speakers and a 250 watt powered sub with this unit, and the sound is exactly like a movie theater. I really can't say enough about this unit.

Good gadget!
I bought this gadget mainly to find my way around Italy in April, but started using it at home to figure out how to use it. In no time, it has become one of my favorite gadgets. It is still able to do things I have yet to figure out, of course. But for the basic get-me-from-here-to-there, it is quite magnificent, and I look for chances to go somewhere new for the fun of using it. It has been rock solid accurate, right down to where the place is on the street. Choice of routes is excellent. It's pretty easy to tell it where you want to go. The instructions are given in very timely fashion. I am now working on my timing: if I ask, "What do I do next?" at the right time, I can sometimes trick my passenger into thinking it's a real conversation ...P.S.It finds addresses in Italy perfectly well, although I won't be there until next month. It even located the waaaay off the beaten path location of the house in rural Piedmont where I'll stay. Quite a confidence builder.

Great movie
Loved this movie. Action/drama/in-depth characters and makes you wanting more.I cannot say anything bad about this movie except for 2 things. 1. batman's voice? wtf happen there. you can hardly hear the man when he *tries* to talk. 2. gary oldman when he talks. some scenes he just mubbling in his voice. wtf too. dont believe me. there is a scene where he goes and talks to harvey dent in his office. let me know what you hear from that guy. lol. Basically its a movie where you watch in the theater and a nice rental too for home if you don't like the movie ticket prices these days.

Jars Of Clay At It's Best! Awesome!
I don't know how they did it. This cd is full of music at its best! Jars of Clay combined a solemn and steady tone with meaningful words full of truth. Track no. 5 (Frail) displays an awesome 1 minute and 45 second introduction of a spectacular guitar solo. People that have a habit of changing cd's because they can't find a cd that has a good song track after track need to buy this cd. From Overjoyed to Hymn, they display a show of truth, devotion, and talent as they play their hearts out. Crazy Times and Tea And Sympathy were my original favorites. Five Candles (You Were There) has a catchy tune that'll will make yo addicted in no time, and Frail will keep it real. Hymn will bring a classic "hymnal" type of song to you with words of truth. Also, the new "If I Left The Zoo" cd is a blast!

Piece of trash compared to Gamecube or PS2
X-Box is a piece of trash. It's controller is even worse. It's the size of a personal pan pizza literaly. From a teenager's perspective,it still doesn't appeal to me. Even PS2 is better w/ a better line up of games. Nintendo Gmaecube has also really great games with a sleek comfortable controller comfortable for all hands. The thing about X-Box, the games are all third parties and not that fun. They only have one strong game, Halo. To spend (...) bucks on this piece of trash, is a waste. (...). Take my advice.

A mixed bag
I don't hate these pants but my feelings about them are very mixed. They are comfortable and the fabric is stretchy enough for even the most rigorous yoga practice. However, the slits in the back mean the fabric swims around your legs. This is problematic in poses such as pigeon, when these pants really get in the way. Also, they're pretty expensive. I have friends who are yoga or pilates instructors who love and live in these pants, but I just can't get that excited about them. (That being said, I do keep them and continue to wear them occasionally to yoga class or meditation group, so they're not a total loss.)UPDATE: I've come to like these pants a lot more. I still use them - three years later - and they hold up very well. They show very little wear. I've adjusted to the extra fabric. I've also bought a couple other pairs of the Be Present pants that are shorter - knee length - and I absolutely love those. I now recommend Be Present pants to friends without reservations.

expensive novelty
The 8 GB iPod nano does hold a lot of music, but not as much as it seems that it should for the memory it has.The iTunes program downloads jumps and skips into your music. You can put a brand new CD to be 'imported', or whatever they call it when you load music into the iPod, and the program will download jumps and skips into the tracks of the music. They did this so that in a couple of years they will be able to sell you something else. It's called 'scheduled obsolescence'.There is very, very little bass in the music. To save battery life, there is next to NO BASS. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. Save your money. Buy like eight personal CD players, or maybe two or three MP3 players from anyone but Apple. You will enjoy your music much more that way, and still save money. THIS PRODUCT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Transitioning Be careful!!
I am a memeber of a church that has just gone through a terrible time because of this book. Our pastor has been using it for almost three years and only told a handful of other people. It has caused many people to leave which is exactly what it predicts. This book advocates using people to get what you want.The philosophy in this book is dangerous and based on worldly principles. Any pastor who is thinking of using this book should think twice. Our church went from a vital, growing church with a strong voice in our community to one with almost cult-like characteristics. We as Christians need to remember that we do not operate by the world's standards. Growth is not marked by what the world thinks of us but by how God sees us. There is so much division in my old church now as a direct result of the ideas in this book. Chirst told us that people would know we were His disiciples by our love for each other. Praise HIS name!!

This has got to be THE most spectacular televisation of one of, if not the BEST book I have ever read ! The casting is excellent! The script is phenomenal! The excitement and intrigue captures it's audience from the very second it starts, to the sensational climax...! SHAME to anyone who could possibly attemt at classing this as trash... It is an exciteable heart wrenching journey for the heroine "Tracey Whitney" (and her aliases)... Aswell as the variety of friends and foes she meets on her way... I don't want to go into any detail because it needs to be seen to be believed ! Even the tittle music is FANTASTIC! Infact the music throughout captures the ongoing struggle, conquests and defeats of the entire story! Watch it!From Tragedy to Triumph, you will be in no way dissappointed! If anything INSPIRED! I assure you...

Gym-time Anytime
I gave this product 4-star because everything can be approved on here n there with products. The Blaze to me is a Godsend. I no longer have to hear how many sets you got left, or can I squeeze in. First and foremost I was skeptical and hoped my purchase would not be a negative like I've seen some. For me this equipment brings good resistance and you can also modify some of the exercises for more experienced gym goers. I like it and I love it. Even though you can spend 20 mins a day I spend 1 hour. Was I sore am I sore? Yes and that is a good sign the machine works. Will I get an upgrade for my legs? Yes I will. One small gripe the leg press are can be a little awkward as for my legs were close together, but in all I can make do. Side note: does anyone know where the heck the serial number is located for the machine. I've looked in the books, on the machine, and on my delivery paper. Maybe I'm overlooking it. I want to register my machine since I do like it a lot.

I have all her albums, i used to be a huge fan. Then, she just stopped nothing was ever new and I realized she didn't sound unreal, or have a great voice, she was normal. I took down all my posters and put of fall out boy and Green Day posters up. This is why (Besides hilary sounding normal)1. They write their own songs.2. They don't sound like anyone else3. They keep recording4. Their music isn't boring even after putting their songs on repeat5. My friends think they're not cool (I like to be different)6. They ROCK!!

Neale bowls a spare, not a strike!
Even the devil can quote scripture eloquently. (How else was Jesus tempted in the wilderness?) Neale wanted to write a book, so he did. He needed the money. Are there TRUTHS here? Yes, but that is a credit to mind and reason that God has given mankind, not to Neale's blatherings. TRUTH is TRUTH regardless of the author or how he was inspired. To the extent that this book makes you THINK, or examine your faith and beliefs, then it is useful. But Divine Writings of the Almighty through Edgar Cayce-like "automatic writing"? Baloney! Read it for insight only; read The Holy Bible for your salvation! But love Neale anyway as God commands that we love each other. Just take Neale with a very liberal grain of salt!

A meal for one
Who? What? Where? and Why? These questions are made to seem rather silly during this insane laughter riot. Brill is on obscenely average form behind the lens and veteran clown Aslan Sanders shows he's no mug even afer 5 years pandering to the greasepaint. Ingenious sight gags are promised but I saw no sign of the promised sight gags. Particularly puzzling is the decision not to set the whole story in the desert. At times I thought I had gone to the wrong film but soon realised I hadn't. The ending is poor, the worst since the last one. Good effort.

pretty good
I used to be obsessed with Spanish music. However, recently, I have found new passions in music. Kinky was my all-time favorite Spanish artist. I bought their album and COULDN'T stop listening to it!! The first album's catchy beats and striking lyrics left me bringing my Walkman everywhere. When I heard they were coming out with a new album, I was quite excited. I previewed a couple of clips on numerous websites, and was pleased overall. However, I must admit this album is not quite as impressive as their self-titled debut. The songs are simply not as devolped, and the beats are not as catchy. None of the songs on the new album can compare to "Ejercicio #16" or "Great Spot," the two Kinky songs I still listen to frequently. I must say, Atlas seems like an intriguing buy, but definitely buy the first album before this one, to get a true idea of what Kinky was like before they were somewhat Americanized.

Nice indoor walk
I have several of the Biggest Loser DVDs, but like this one the best. The first mile is a little slow but I amped up the pace myself by just walking faster. The other miles have some nice interval training and use weights or a weighted medicine ball. I was sweating by the end and felt like I had done a very good workout. If you have any knee trouble some of the miles may be hard for you. There is some jogging and speed running in place. Each mile had someone doing a modification to the exercise so you can follow them if you need to. The instructors are pleasant and easy to listen to their voices. It is shot outside so the workout makes you feel like you are outside also. The stretch at the end was a little short for my tastes, but I just threw in a yoga dvd and I was good. For those new or back into exercise prepare for a challenge. For those like me who want some variety and a little blood pumping workout this is a great one.

Does what I expected, at a good price.
I have had this item for over ten years. It does a good job for me. It is more like pro quality, not consumer stuff. That means you can dump your camera if you are not using it properly. Wake up, pay attention, and tighten the clamps. I use a tripod in my work as a TV news photographer. A Video tripod costing $7000. This is not anywhere as fast as my Sachtler or Vinton heads and legs for my full size TV ENG camera (Sony DNW 90), but those are for TV, not stills. I picked this one for still photography until I want to spend a bunch more. This one is up to the task of SLR photography with a 200mm lens on it, or a Macro. For the money, the quality is top rate.

Say what? Sex is still the number one seller
It's all here. The breasts, the penises, the inane dialogue between the two main characters. Incest, rape, men with men, women with women, pedophiles, and all the blood and gore you can wallow in to your heart's content. They even say " Say what?" in the series to make you feel right at home. In between the swinging penises and breasts, the fall of Rome is told in all it's gory demise. Why did I watch it you ask? Because I paid for it and now I'll pass it on for someone else to enjoy or not. I'm now in the process of watching the second series. Because I paid for that set too. Somewhere, there must be a good book or movie about the fall of Rome without having a breast or penis flung in my face every 10 or 15 minutes. I know that these incidents did happen and they still are today but I don't feel that constantly showing them throughout the series had anything to do with the fall of Rome.

Poor excuse to make some money
What ... is this!???!!! They call this a tribute to TLC?!!! No. 1, the vocals are terrible. I can't even tell whether it's a man or a woman trying to imitate T-Boz's voice. The rapping [is awful]. Is this tribute even authorized by the songwriters and artist and how could they allow such untalented people who will never get anywhere in the music industry to perform the songs? No. No. No. ... Let's put them out of their miseries. They're not singing. They're actually screaming out for us to put them out of their misery. I WARN YOU. DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM. ...

Disturbing
A better title for this book would have been "It's All About Me". It bothered me very much how she was so cruel to her daughter, Windsor. Ruth Graham told her that at 17 she could not come home if she parented her baby. Before signing the adoption papers Windsor said,"Please, Mom let me keep her." When Ruth Graham would not relent her daughter reluctantly signed the papers. Ruth Gramham wrote about how sad her Windsor's eyes were while holding her baby on the drive to give her to the adoptive parents. After the adoptive parents left with the baby Windsor sobbed and wailed. Then Ruth Graham related how difficult the next year was for Windsor, but Ruth Graham maintained that she still thought that she had done the right thing. Perhaps Ruth Graham needs to read I Timothy 5:8. She speaks of "my broken heart" but never considers how she has damaged other people. How could this be "Hope for the Hurting"? I would not recommend this book to anyone as it is very disturbing and depressing.

You can't go wrong with Hoodtown.
Christa Faust really takes the time to set up this bizarre mix of lucha libre culture and crime noir. She really knows her stuff and stays true to the unspoken tenets of both. The story starts off slow, with hints of back story and well thought-out character development. We get pulled in as this dark mystery unfolds. The violence escalates; the questions lead to stark realizations; the plot twists and writhes like a snake on hot sand. The pay-off is classic. All the elements are here. The story is logical, believable, and captivating. Faust has created a world that could easily become a franchise. It's a quick read due to the way it hooks the reader. Once you start, you just don't want to put this book down. Don't just think about buying it, kid...just do it. You can't go wrong with Hoodtown.

nice product, check the listing
This would have been a 5 star rating if they would have sent the proper number of ammo cans. The picture clearly shows 3 cans and the price reflects 3 cans, but if you look at the verbiage it states the products are sold individually. I ordered 2 sets of these thinking I would receive a total of six cans. 2 days later two cans show up in the mail. I figured the rest would come the next day. When they did not show up I checked my account and it said all items have been delivered. I contacted the seller and they said it was an issue on Amazon's end. So I contact Amazon and was told it was an issue on the sellers end. I will be returning the items due to this discrepancy because $85 dollars for only 2 cans is WAY too much. The cans themselves were in very good condition, and I do feel the sellers intent was to sell 3 cans. I am only giving 1 star at this time until the pricing issue is resolved.

Product good, shipping method bad.
While I have no complaints about their products, I have to say that a company that ships with questionable policies is not good. They got the order together quickly, and believe me, it's nothing needed for an emergency, but they shipped USPS and apparently a signature was needed. I work for a living and am gone for the day. Who's gonna sign for a parcel at 10AM? No one. Which is why they then leave a note telling me to pick it up. Great. I order online for convenience and end up having to muddle through traffic on my day off (only to find that the hours listed at the Branch are wrong, and off by 1 1/2 hours). So 7 days later, I still don't have my parcel and am debating whether to even go back and TRY again to get it. Mondays a Holiday, so we are looking at 10 days to get a $6 order.Like I said, the product is fine, but at least inform customers that a signature will be needed by the carrier. Maybe then, they will just not order.

DECENT GAME
I got this game today really cheap at Target for $24 bucks. I played it for about a hour and the graphics are pretty good. The gameplay is great for ex. when you press the L2 button everything freezes and you can kill people and things like crazy. Characters are good but not enough. You dont spend munch time with different characters. The weopons are okay but could have better selection. I give graphics a A-. Gameplay B+. Characters B-. Weopons B+. If you can find this game really cheap like I did I wouldnt hesitate to buy it. An okay game all around.

Pop Stars 2 Introducing Scene 23 Results
This CD is really good. I liked the T.V. show, and I thought I would buy the CD, and it turned out it was well worth my money. Mostly all of the songs are good. The only one I'm not to crazy about is All This Love. The Popstar Experience songs are good too. I really like I Believe I Can Fly and I Wanna Know. I'm not to fond of I Still Believe though. I think that the Inturludes give the CD a nice touch, and I enjoy listening to them. My favorite songs on the album are I Really Don't Think So and He Said She Said. Overall I think you should buy this CD!

Total Disappointment
This was the number one toy requested by my granddaughter. Ordered it through Amazon and it shipped from ToysRUs. Package arrived without a packing slip, looked like it was returned item. The main unit was defective out of the box and both cartridges were also defective. Tried returning it to a local TRU store, but they refused to handle the return. Followed Amazon return process to the letter (except they want a copy of the packing slip which was not in the original shipment). Made a copy of all of our purchase documents and sent the product back. Local store told us that product is no longer available and basically can not be fixed. 60-days later still nothing back from ToysRUs and no refund. My granddaughter keeps asking when she will get to play with her 'Star-Station'. What a waste of time, effort and money only to end up with a disappointed pre-schooler. Thanks a lot, Fisher-Price and ToysRUs.

THIS CD IS TIMELESS!
This cd is one of the best of the late 90's and the 90's period! I first heard their hit single "I Want You" in 8th grade and was hooked! As with a lot of Cd's nowadays, my fav tracks occur in the beginning of the album...but the rest is still Great! The Aussie duo is here to stay! My other fav trax are: "Truly, Madly, Deeply" "To The Moon & Back", "Tears of Pearls", "Break Me Shake Me" and "Santa Monica." They incorporate a wide range of styles from synth pop to pure pop and rock. Believe me on this-Buy it! You will Not be dissapointed. It's great to listen, and if you liked the songs released from this one also check out their most recent album "Affirmation" which includes their hit singles "I Knew I Loved You" and "Crash & Burn." What else is there to say? Nothing but SAVAGE GARDEN ROCKS!

Great strength workout
I have used this workout to get in, and stay in, toned shape for many years. it is challenging. Highly recommended. Lots of squats, lunges, tons of crunches, weight training for arms. This is a total body shaper. Only drawback is it offers no cardio. Beginners will not wreck their knees with this program. Beginners can also work their way up to doing all the exercises. This is an intermediate/advanced program to get through it all. I got in the best shape of my life using this program. One drawback I found is you need to find the motivation yourself because Cindy doesn't encourage you to 'keep going'. The music is also dry. But if you want a straightforward, no nonsense, intense program; this is it. You will get the best abs of your life.

??? No Macs ???? too Bad, Products are good ...
The Linksys products I've purchased in the past are good, and even the compnay policy / warrenty ( spelling ??? ) is strong. I know, folk's may say, " Well, this guy's got Macs, too bad for him." We are all entitled to our own humble opinion ...But, No Drivers are available for the Mac Product line. No OS X.No 9.x's . No 8.x's.I realize that the only people who get the decission to buy the Macs are not the "accounting" dept. or DP ... Just us small business owners with 10 - 20 networked computers ... But, this isn't about Macs vs. Win boxes; it's about missed opportunity by Linksys to support a customer base. I mean, really, without the hardcore out there, would there even be any support for Lynix?

MiniSpin Still a Great Buy
I have had one of these for over thirty years. I bought this one for my son. The MiniSpin is still an excellent way to take a high quality fishing combo wherever you go. It is not the rig for chasing huge fish, but I have caught pike on mine, and my son caught a four pound bass with his the first weekend he used it. This is a serious light spinning outfit. I recommend getting a second spool and filling one spool with four pound line and one with six. The four pound line works great with this rod and reel for things like crappies and smallmouth bass. Much more fun than just hauling them out of the water with a stiff rod and ten or twelve pound line. Six pound gives better results where there are weeds or bottom obstructions - you don't lose so much terminal tackle. The plastic latches on the case will wear with time, so I use a large elastic band to hold them closed. I highly recommend this package.

Here's a run for your money, Harry Potter!
I purchased The Lonesome Pine over the internet as it was recommended to me by a friend in the USA. My little daughter has many books but I have never seen anything as original or as inventive as The Lonesome Pine. What Disney did to cartoon fairytales, Ms West has done for children's books. It's the first time I have read a book to Jessie with such excitement in her (and my!) eyes. She was enthralled. It could be read on any level. We couldn't wait to turn the next page! This entertaining story would twist and turn and I had no idea how it was going to end. I have never written a review before, but I was so impressed I felt I had to. I only have one thing to say - Please bring the book to England!

I'm giving it 2 but I'd like to give it 1 star
My local bike shop recently switched from Specialized to these import tubes (presumably because they are extremely cheap). And cheap is what you might find. My front tube went two weeks riding on the flat paved roads every other day for 8 miles--that's 50 miles. Then out of the blue it popped a 1-foot rip with a loud "BANG!". I was on the level and close to home, fortunately. You may not be so lucky. The tire was pumped to 52 lbs. pressure at the time and there were no punctures to the tire or spoke problems. Just buy Specialized tubes, or a reputable brand and you will have normal success with them. I won't be buying these again, and I'm worried that my rear tube is still a Sunlite brand. I suppose it is possible that the front tube was a lemon, but I've never had a tube rip on the seam like that before. I'll be taking the shreaded tube back to the bike shop and warning them about it, too.

Wayside School Review
This book is about the students and teachers of wayside school. Every chapter tells about a different teacher or student, and thire problems.My favorite part of this book was ch. 10. This ch. was a bout this boy named paul in mrs Jewls class. Paul sat t= in the back. He sat behind this girl lesslie. Lesslie had 2 long brown pigtails just dangling there waiting for him to pull them so he did. Pail got his name written on the board under the word DISIPLINE. the a little whil after, he did it again. Then he got a check next to his name. Then out of nowhere leslie yells "yahhhhhhhhh" and then he went home on the kindergarden bus.I would recamend this book to kids that like funny books. This is a fun and easy book to read. This would also be a good book to readwith a group of kids. This is also a good book to read if you are either sad or mad. This would cheer you up. I eally liked this book. I rated it 4 stars.

Judge Knott goes sit-com
Being a native North Carolinian and a lawyer, I've enjoyed reading about Judge Deborah Knott from Colleton County, but the Judge in this book was STUPID. She goes to High Point during the furniture market without a room reservation. N.C. District Court judges have access to a sec- retary who would have handled any reservation. Maron doesn't even discuss Knott staying in the home of the Judge for whom she's subbing. It is inconceivable to image a Judge sleeping on a stranger's couch. She could have slept at the courthouse. Opps, no story! So we have an implausible story with cutsy dialogue. Upon meeting someone who recognizes her, Judge Knott replies "You have the advantage of me sir". Yes, all Tar Heels speak this way, just as a District Court Judge will take up with a stranger at a mall and follow her all over High Point. Please, some- thing better next time!

feathers everywhere
We bought this comforter in January after 2 months I started seeing feathers coming out. Just a few feathers at first. However after another month they are now everywhere. I vaccuum them up every few days and there are balls of them under the bed and all over the house. I took duvet off the other day and the feathers are coming out all over the comforter. It is horrible! This is an aweful down comforter. There will be no feathers left in it another month or 2 and my whole house is full of feathers. Do NOT buy this product!!! Total waste of money I am sooooo disapointed!!!

Good for Rare Snacks.
We try to keep candies, cookies, cakes and things of that sort out of the house, or at least keep their supply to a bare minimum. It's difficult. We try to stay well stocked on fresh and dried fruits as substitutes. However, there are those times when a treat seems in order. My wife found these Special K Bars and we keep a supply on hand. They're only 90 calories each and have a low fat content. They're made from whole grains. How bad can that be?I tend to prefer the strawberry variety. My wife has a preference for the Chocolate Drizzle. It really doesn't matter. I tend to think they're too sweet, too much like candy, but every once in a while I'll have one. When I'm carrying my lunch to work, I sometimes include one. We buy the large box and keep them in a sealed container. They have a long shelf life and must contain a lot of preservatives.

Great Show but DVD format Stinks
If you are looking for a great show this definitely was one. I was in my early teens when this came on and I was "allowed" to stay up and watch it and I never missed an episode. Loved Dr. Gannon and always wished he was my doctor. The shows are very well written and very captivating. Couldn't wait until it came out on DVD and felt like it took forever. Unfortunately when I received it - it didn't work. I don't understand why this show is not done in normal DVD standards. I didn't realize it wouldn't work in my DVD/VHS combo. I never saw the disclaimer until today when I was looking at Season 2 and wondering why it was so expensive. If I put the disk in my portable DVD player first and then put it in my DVD/VHS combo it will work. This is truly disappointing especially since I love this show but will not buy Season 2 because of this. That is also why I only gave it 4 stars. Does anyone know why it was done in this format? I have no problem with any other DVD's.

A Raunchy Challenger's CD
Many years ago my brother bought the original vinyl of this Challengers cd in a thrift store. It was my favorite album for many years while in high school in the late 70's and early 80's. While others were listening to AC-DC, I was groovin' to The Challengers. Somehow the album got lost by one of my brothers friends. Until recently it had been well over 15 years since I heard this record. When a friend of mine recently told me he had found and bought this cd, I was in great anticipation of getting a copy of it myself. Unfortunately, the songs on this cd are quite different than that original vinyl. I remember the record included a version of "Lonely Bull" amongst other unique Challengers renditions. I can't help but say I was disappointed. I continued to listen to the cd anyway and found it to be pretty darn good. But, for the record, this is not the original "Sidewalk Surfin'" song selection.

Ed--coming to dvd
Hi all. I recently saw an interview on you tube with tom cavanaugh (sp?). He was discussing his new show and the interviewer asked about ed coming to dvd. After joking about the delay, he said it was in the works and joked about future royalties. Since the interview was only a month old, i have a renewed confidence that the dvd just may happen yet. I have purchased a bootleg copy from tvdvdstore.com from china and my advice is to save your money. The dvd's are poor quality and some wont play. The company has no return address. I guess for right now we can just hope that the email comes from amazon saying that ed is finally home. If anyone has any other info please post. THanks for reading.
