I Believe In Santa Clause
I love Christmas movies. That is why I purchased this one. I regret spending good money for it. First of all it was the worst visual movie I have ever seen. It looked like some high school kid filmed it. It was filmed in a different language and the english was dubbed in. A very bad job. It distracts from the movie when the words do not match the lips. The picture quality was fuzzie. The story was cute. The actors looked like they had never acted before.

Not Sharp, blades went dull quick.
Funny because I had a mach 3 for a long time, and I love it to death.I decided to go ahead and try the new razor. I bought this from Walmart. Very strange, indeed. This has never happened before. Is the Mach 3 supposed to be dull for a faster shape? maybe they used dull blades so people can shave fast without cuts? Or I just got a bad package.I decided to go ahead and do this review for amazon because I saw there were a lot of reports of dull blades upon purchase. I just want to let people know that I was one of them, but mine are definitely real. It seems possible that Gillette may be letting go of some of their quality.Sorry all but the blades suck. Just because you didn't think so, doesn't mean mine weren't dull. This is a crappy A razor. You can go you know what.

A LOOK BACK AT THE ROMANTICISM OF THE FIFTIES!!!!!!!!
The story is definitley indicative of the fifties. I thought the casting was perfect! Dorothy McGuire and Richard Egan were wonderful as reunited lovers, trying to guide their respective children into not making costly mistakes. Arthur Kennedy and Constance Ford are excellent as the unhappy spouses. The mores of that era are well portrayed throughout the film. The Hunters and the Jorgensens stay together for the sake of the children. Molly and Johnny, the teenagers, exhibit an air of innocence about their sexuality at the outset of their relationship. When all is revealed at the end, the sensible parent of each child is there to guide them with support and wisdom. Many say it is a soap opera, but it does deliver a message - parental support and how important it is!!!!!!! The music of Max Steiner is absolutely magnificent, and set against the Maine coastline, the combination of the two is unbeatable! A must see film!

Planned obsolescence?
We enjoyed our Model One for nearly two years, and then it died. Though we treated it well, after just 22 months the unit's signal would drop to inaudibility within minutes of turning it on. I wrote to Tivoli to see if they would fix or replace it. Didn't get a word in response. A radio is not a terribly complicated device. I've had radios 30 and 40 years old that still worked fine. Was the Tivoli designed to break down in so short a time? I couldn't say. Maybe mine was simply a lemon. Still, I would have expected that Tivoli would take pride enough in their reputation that they'd make things right. I won't make the mistake of buying another of their products.

Freakin' Sweet in every sense of the words
I love Family Guy. Straight and to the point. This box set is so funny. And I was able to get in on the deal for half price so I wouldn't pass it up. The DVD case is perfect. Now I can sell all the other box sets I have for the other seasons and the movie. I am a card player so I think the cards and chips and pretty funny. The ping pong table net and balls I don't think I will use for ping pong. I think the net is staying in the box and I just found a few new balls for beer pong. =) Find the cheapest price on it and get it. under 65 bux will do.

Pretty but too fragile
Buyer beware! Beautiful to look at but you can't actually USE it! Especially if you have kids. All are chipping. And Pfaltzgraff didn't stand behind this product for us. After a few months we called to complain and ask to exchange for another style, but we were basically told, "Sorry, no exchange. Everybody knows stoneware chips, you should have selected a different material". Um, what? That wasn't on your product description. This junk chips when you put it in the dishwasher and it bumps against another plate! So after barely a year, we will be throwing out a HUGE set that we purchased during a kitchen remodel. (Same review posted for 16-piece set.)

The best is last
Spirits of the dead is a mixed bag of cinematic delight. Of the 3 episodes, only the last one "Toby Dammit" sustains interest. Fellini is at his best in this segment & Terence Stamp puts in a self destructive performance that has to be seen to be believed! His character, a self destructing actor who has reached the end of all worldly hope & desire wants only to leap into the chasm of death & destruction & he does so in spectactular fashion. This segment alone is worth the price of admission & Fellini caries the weight of the entire film on his capable talents. Images to delight & dialogue to astound, Terence Stamp should have won some kind of award for this brilliant performance as he portrays a burnt out actor with a death wish. You can't help but sympathize with him as he jolts his way from one bizarre interlude to another. You know you're at deaths door when you can turn down that blonde in the awards segment! Yikes!!! Never bet the devil your head!! See it!

Couple hits, a lot of misses
Yea, this movie isn't great. It could have been funny, but it's just kind of lacking. The parts of the movies they decide to make fun of, just seem kind of uninspired. For example, they make fun of the Harry Potter gang's age. Huh? He's maybe 2 years older he's supposed to be... why not the fact that an elderly man looks over a house full of young children? Or the length of his wand? Or soooomething. But sticking a bunch of old actors in the spots...puhlease.Captain Jack isn't bad. Well, it's at least a fairly good copy of the real character, but they didn't really do anything from the movie. He could have had some funny parts...

Very simple to setup and use DSL/Cable Routers/HUB/Switch
When LinkSys decided to create a cheap, easy to use box for broadband users, they did not slack off in any way. You can configure everything via a browser so OS doesn't create any problems. I use Linux personally. My setup was as follows. Hook all my systems to LinkSys box. Plug WAN port into Cable Modem. Bingo, I was done. The LinkSys automatically got an IP address and started passing traffic through. All broadband users should get one of theses. It is the cost of a good hub and saves you the annoyance of setting up NAT or IP Masqurading yourself. Good buy!

8 episodes of extreme boredom
Having seen the first eight episodes of season 4 i have to say that sadly, this show has completely lost all momentum and suspense. It has become SO SLOW! I'm not going to go into great dephts about all the flaws here, of which there are countless. For hardcore fans who still think this show works, i suggest you rewatch seasons 1 & 2, then watch season 4. It's just not the same show. Of course, for a show to maintain its vitality, making sure it keeps evolving is key. It has evolved alright; into some sort of soap-action hybrid. It has become dull. Another thing that has completely disappeared from the show, is the wonderful dark humor, evident in seasons 1 & 2. It's just not there. The downfall began with season 3. After eight episodes of season 4, i'm afraid this one is just not gonna land. This should be the last season for a show that started out great, but sadly lost everything it had going for it.

NEW LINE'S GREED STRIKES AGAIN
WHY on Earth would New Line only release the Theatrical editions? WHY on Earth would they not at least take advantage of the immense storage capacity of the Blu-Ray disc format and actually put BOTH editions in the SAME collection? (This is already done all the time, for example, with rated-vs-unrated or 2D-vs-3D editions of movies.) WHY indeed, besides greed? I rarely even watch the theatrical; I own the DVDs but for me it was more entertaining analyzing all the differences. But that was years ago. When I'm in the mood to watch them, do I watch the 'abbreviated' version? No! I watch the full-length extended version, as it (truly) was intended. I wouldn't be surprised if they left all the great appendices out of this edition, either. This is a flat-out ripoff. There was no need to release the films this way. I agree with the reviews before me ... don't waste your time.[...]

great disappointment.
Sometimes the artwork of a cd foreshadows a fantastic musical journey awaiting the listener. Unfortunately, Les Ondes Silencieuses is not the case. The artwork by iker spozio is sublime to say the least, one of the best cd covers I've seen in a while. It suggests a dreamy landscape full of nocturnal visions. The music, however, is a disastrous mess. Minimalism is beautiful when the it is inspired. Experimental music is fascinating when it is inspired. But Colleen was far from inspired here. She grabbed instruments she did not play well and tried to create a collection of pieces that suffer from a lack of musical skills. The cello and harpsichord tracks especially are painful to listen to. The album is at its best when she plays the guitar and the clarinet. But nevertheless, it is a big let down. I might be totally wrong. Give it a try and see if you like it. I recommend her two previous albums: Everyone Alive Wants Answers, and The Golden Morning Breaks.

Worst Monster movie ever made
Lake Placid 2 really disappointed me. I myself haven't seen the the first one. I've heard its really great so hopefully it is. The graphics in Lake Placid are just horrific!!! I mean not bad, not fair, they are HORRIFIC!!!! The crocodile doesn't even look close like a realistic crocodile!!! Not only are the graphics really bad, the acting is too! Man there are so many things wrong with this movie it would take me years to write all of it. If I could give this 0 stars I would!!!! Bottom line: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. SAVE YOURSELF.

A disappointment
What a huge disappointment! I never expected this writer - who is normally quite good - to produce such a silly and boring piece of work. The entire story is so repetitive, it often felt like she was copypasting whole paragraphs. The characters are unrealistic in the extreme. Knowing Picoult's work, I expected some sort of a twist, a stunning revelation at the end. But this time there was nothing like that. After finishing this endlessly boring novel, all you can feel is a sense of bewilderment is why any one would want to keep spinning this type of drivel for hundreds of pages. Thematically, the main point of the novel is that parents don't always know what their teenage children actually feel. Why Picoult would think that this triviality is worth spend even more time on is incomprehensible. All in all, this is the worst by this author I have read so far. Actually, it might be the worst I have read in the past few years by any author.http://clarissasbox.blogspot.com/

Ask enough people and you'll get the answer you seek.
High school failed me. It is in fact a cult, it has a charismatic leader. The reason I failed was due to the teachers and books. The only way I can learn is if it's taught the way I want it. What will really be sad to see is where the people who go with Ken's solution are in a few weeks, months, years if they are, in fact, alcoholics. Who wrote this Ken or Jack Trimpey? I hated God, hated AA, tried therapy, anti-depressants, rational recovery, groups, you name it. When all was said and done I checked into a psych hospital, suicidal. Did I ever actually do exactly what the big book said? No. Did I ever have an open mind or follow directions? No. I finally did what it said, got through my own BS and rationalizations and then recovered. Try doing exactly what the big book says, if it doesn't work then go to something else.

Dont buy it!! It doesnt last more than a few washings
I bought my first Scooba from Linens and Things. I was impressed with it the first time I used it. Then a couple of weeks later, I tried it again, and it wouldnt work. I called IRobot customer support and she couldnt resolve the problem. Luckily, I was able to go to Linens and Things and get another one. I hoped I just got a lemon. The next one worked great for the first time too. A couple of weeks later I tried again and it wouldnt work. I charged the battery for over 24 hours (it should only take 16 hours max, per the manual). But when I pressed Power, it wouldnt turn on. Customer Service could not resolve my problem and told me to ship it back. Of course, I get stuck with the shipping costs. 2 units, and neither worked after the first week. Coincidence? I dont think so. DONT BUY IT. Its not reliable!!

Roky Trust Snookers the Fans with This One
This album is a travesty. It finally puts to rest any doubt that Roky's former Manager has anything of value left. The sound is terrible. The recording processing/mastering is horrible. It's like they recorded this using a Realistic mono condensor mic onto K-Mart, normal bias, cassette tapes and then crapped on these tapes and let *that* sit in a basement for thirty years. Then they just ripped it to CD the cheapest and fastest way. Then they had the balls to talk about how "great" this utter piece of sheeeeeit was. This was the old Roky Trust under his brother's helm. Put Roky's little brother, Billy Alienate and Roky's former Manager in a room together and *this* is what they come up with. They are tools and this proves it. Stay away! Are you a Roky fan? STAY AWAY! BACK AWAY SLOWLY!

Great idea - but
I bought this based on the high reviews - and the concept. It seems like this is what I needed. It was easy to put together. My kitties took a few days to get used to it - but did use it afer awhile so that was not the issue. It worked well the first few days - but basically stopped working after about a week. The poop and pee-balls didn't go into the tray and stayed in the main litter compartment. The little drawer-tray filled with clean litter intead. So I ended up removing the pieces and using it as a regular litter box. So . . . don't waste your money!

Many cats and litter works
I bought the Tidy Cats Small Space just to try it. The first thing I noticed was the orange smell, to me it was not overwhelming. I have 6 cats and have used every kind of litter made. I do a litter change every 7-10 days and the litter will keep the urine and feces smell in check even at the end of the change cycle. I have one cat who has really smelly "poops" and this is the only litter that works for her. My friend who takes care of my cats when I am out of town, even asked what kind of litter I had switched to as she really noticed a difference when she cleaned the boxes. She has now switched and is also pleased. I have used this litter for over a year now. My only wish is that is that it clumped as tight as "Scoop Away" it is not as good as that brand in the clumping respect, but I have to say it does clump better than many other brands. I can not tell any difference in the tracking amount from any other litter I have used. For me they all track the same!

A Pitiful Scam
It seems quite unbelievable with the good, credible information offered by science that people are still taken by those such as Edward, who make a living by preying on the grieving and the gullible. I do not blame his followers, as the vulnerability of the bereaved is apparent. But to claim to channel even pets! Please! Such obvious pandering is a scam, pure and simple. Edward does tricks that are easy to understand, and even perform. Look, for example, at the work of James Randi. Edward will claim that he is only offering comfort through the use of his "gift." In reality, he is practicing the worst sort of opportunism to coldly separate the grieving and the gullible from their money. If this is a "gift," why does he charge for it? And how have Americans gotten so far from critical thinking that they cannot see through the most transparent huckster?

Their Labors
While this album is listed as a Nick Gravenites album, Michael Bloomfield plays such an integral part, one is tempted to call it "Our Labors." Nick Gravenites is an underrated songwriter/singer and deserves accolades for his work on this and many other albums but the star that really shines,no,blazes, is Michael Bloomfield. His playing on the live cuts is some of the best blues guitar I've ever heard. That's no hyperbole,either. Mike Bloomfield had brains in his fingers and this CD proves it. This is Blues improvisation at its finest. Sadly, this CD has never been available domestically. There was a British import released in the Nineties and this version from Japan. The Japanese version has two bonus cuts; it is worth seeking out. By the way, "My Labors" was recorded in 1969. While some of the studio cuts sound a little dated, the live stuff sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. Timeless.

Big promises, few rewards.
This toy is great- when it works!!! My daughter received this reader and seven books for Christmas. Only two of her seven books worked!!! Because they were purchased in another state and not available in my area simply returning them to the store is not possible. I called Publications Int. hoping they could help me exchange the books and got a blunt NO! Their warranty does not cover the books or cartridges in any way. I'm now stuck with about $50 worth of books that don't work in the reader. What a rip off!!! Don't buy this product. The odds are not in your favor!

Politically Correct feminist movie
Political Correctness strikes yet another symbol of virtue and strength. Pretty boys. Almost as pretty girls. Historical farce very loosley based on the delaying action fought at Thermopylae. The almost 70 year old Leonides is portrayed by a 30 something bodybuilder. He gets his wifes permissoin to make her decisions. This is a Hollywierd romance. Nothing more.There is some good gore in the fight choreography. Sadly, even these are poorly done. Great graphics as is expected of american films today. By the way, were rhinoceri and elephants and giants used by the Iranians(Persians) at Thermopylae? And are Iranians Negroes? I ask because they are in this film.If you're looking for a more accurate and yet entertaining account of Thermopylae and the Spartans read "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield.Avoid this movie or save your money for renting it.

Awesome bible
This is an awesome bible. I cannot stop reading it. I have always had a hard time reading various bible, such as NKJV, KJV, NIV, etc. But this bible provides a lot of additional insightful information and further reading that goes beyong the bible verse. Sometimes reading the bible verse doesn't make sense and can be discouraging for the reader. This bible provides answers and thought provoking caveats. I highly recommend the Life Application Bible New Living Translation. I bought the leather addition. I wish I had bought this bible years ago as it really is the only bible I need because it has answers to all of my questions. Even helps with overcome procrastination, laziness etc. It's a wonderful bible.

Ignores several problems...
The ideas in this book are interesting, but the actuality is highly flawed. The idea that you can write a 1 month call for 10% of the value of the stock is erroneous. Then, since he advises investing with borrowed money, he claims this is a return of 20% per month. He extends this to 40% just because nobody minds optimism. Writing covered calls is fine, but you do have to realize that this will limit your upside, but not your downside. He neglects to mention this!Mr. Cook uses margin buying for every example, yet never gives a single calculation for what happens when a stock goes down, for example showing how you can lose 100% of your investment by a price drop of 50%. Really, the only three ideas in here are 1. Covered call writing (with exaggerated numbers) 2. Buying rolling stocks (which are not supported by his own graphs) and 3. Buying on the stock split (which is not such a guarantee of success as he claims).Overall, the returns of these strategies are not credible.

A laided back Robin Zander
I'll I have to tell ya, When I first played this cd, I wanted to toss it out the window. I thought that Robin was going to go alittle heaver and go balls to the wall. Well, I was wrong. So, I let this cd sit for about a year or two before I gave it another try. Well, second time was a charm. I really liked it. The first two songs are great songs. (#1 reactionary girl) and (#2 i've always got you). Then skip to the best song on the cd( #5 time will let you know). A slow song but, a song that should of gotten some air play.(#7 tell it to the world) and the song with the Great Stevie Nicks (#10 secret) are also good.The rest of the cd, you'll have to listen to them and, you'll can rate them when you buy it. If you like Cheap Trick, it's a must have. Peace.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH!
This was wonderful fantasy. Kate was adorable. So moral, so humble and Mitchell was .... the opposite!! Enjoyed seeing how these two first met and then grew in many ways. Mitchell's background was so sad but Kate seemed to innocently plow right thru to his heart even tho he gave it a good fight all the way.This was much better than the last JMcN book I read. Matt and Meridith from Paradise are involved in this story too. It's nice to see their return. I loved Perfect and Paradise and this was in the same genre.A very fast read. A so so mystery. As ususal, the obvious was a red herring. A very nice afternoon read by the pool!! Florida's weather has finally become balmy!

Yuck
This bottle smells so good, I thought these would taste even better than the Nature Made orange flavored C tablets we usually take. Boy was I wrong. Colored with red cabbage????? Did they think the flavor wouldn't get in there too? Who needs color in their vitamins, artificial or natural? I wish I had read reviews before purchasing.I understand why some people awarded stars for "quality". But I don't see what's so hard about making pure, natural vitamin C tablets, so I'm being a toughie and 1 star it is. I'm so cheap I'll probably end up using them. Doubt my husband will touch them.Edit: I just finished reading the rest of the ingredients. They also contain rose hips, which many people (and my pet chinchillas) like, but which I detest. Live and learn.

Water dissapears!!!
At first this seemed to be the perfect tub. The 'ramp' offered just the right support to hold my daughter while bathing. Then it came time to extend the tub. This is when the problems began...... Every night I would fill the tub, once it is full I would go to the nursery to undress my daughter and get her ready for her bath. We would return to the bathroom to find the tub almost empty! At first I thought the drainer was left half-opened. Turns out that the water was draining from the bottom of the tub at the seam (where you extend the tub). I tried re-securing the seam by pulling on the sides and pressing on the latches at the bottom but this did not work. Oh, with regard to the supporting ramp, it does not lock in place. When my daughter moved, it would push the rap upward causing my daughter to get deeper into the water; in addition, no matter how much I hung it to dry it would still have a very distinctive "moldy" smell. What a dissapointment.

The Truth about Exodus
I read this book for school and was assigned a project on it. My class also viewed the movie Exodus. The assignment was basically to look beyond the pages of the book and find out whats real and what isn't. First of all, this is a given, both the author and the producers are Pro Zionist, so of course they are going to make a movie and book sterotyping the British and Palestians. I, myself am nor Jewish,Palestian or British. I'm Puerto Rican, so don't think I am favoring one side because I belong to that group of peoples. And explain to me this the purpose of the love affair between Ari Ben Canaan and Kitty Fermont is what? There is no point its just to catch the eye of the young adults in America and try to sympathize with the characters. HELLO, before any of u say of this is a great book why don't u look at the mechanics here!! It was all false accusations for the producers and authors to gain profits! a DUH!

Guilty Pleasure TV! It's always FOX isn't it?
I watched "The Simple Life" periodically on FOX during the few months it came on. It's funny in your-so-stupid kind of way. I can't believe Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie act like this. They're real life sitcom stars!The boy crazy rich and bratty 20-something girls move from posh and pampered Los Angeles to a small town farm in Arkansas with a family for a month. Thence they pluck chickens, milk cows and cause havoc on the quiet and unsuspecting town. Both girls struggle to fit in accordingly with the family. They get ordinary jobs but fail miserably at them. They have no moral integrity! But that's the beauty in this show!Paris and Nicole sometimes don't realize how brainless they are. But at the same time they mock fun of themselves and know how silly they are to people. I take that back, theyre not brainless! It's just reality television! I won't get the DVD though, just watch the show on FOX.

Baby LOVES the hammock!
We rec'd Safety 1st's 4-in1 bath at our shower and our son hated it! It has such a bad design, this middle locking pice jammed into his back even w/ the newborn part. He screamed every time - not fun. Then we got this bath and now he LOVES bath time! The hammock is great for a newborn. He is 9 weeks now and still fits in it well. We never look at the spout-temp guage. If you can't figure out what "too hot" is on your own, then you have some issues. We detach & re-attach the hammock after each bath for drying. Bottom line. from comparing notes of my own experience and w/ other moms I know, this is the best baby tub out there. I wish I had a hammock to suspend ME in the tub!

Regurgitated material. Save your money.
This book is yet another example of symbolism over substance. The book follows a long line of books by marketing dinosaurs (e.g. Scott Davis, David Aaker, Al Ries, Tom Peters) who are on the downslope of their careers. The common thread between these books is this: it is the same material recycled, rewritten and regurgitated with the respective authors' own style of spin. The content isn't new, isn't innovative, isn't anything other than re-purposed content.Who doesn't know that advetising doesn't work? Really? Thanks, Al for repeating something that anyone remotely exposed to marketing knows. This book killed, unnecessarily, a lot of trees.Save your money. Unless, of course, you are a corporate lemming who works for a large corporation; who was just moved from finance to marketing and don't know a thing about marketing, this book might be for you. You won't know any better anyway. However, common sense will tell you that this book is a lot of fluff.

Cuisinart DTC-975BKN - Avoid this coffee maker
I purchased this unit for our weekend lake house 6 months ago. In that 6 months, it's only seen very light usage. Recently, both the siphon nozzle and the carafe lid became clogged causing major messes. Hot coffee starts overflowing from the top of the carafe and hot coffee AND grounds start spewing from the top of the filter. If you try to remove the carafe, you will find the brew/pause feature doesn't work and it sprays hot coffee on your hand. That's quite a feature!!! I've tried cleaning the pot and machine throughly but was not successful in stopping it from making a mess. This machine has made it's last pot of coffee and it's last mess. By the way, it's also VERY slow to make a pot of coffee. You can run to the local Starbucks and back before a pot is ready. I've opted to get a Bunn BTX which is what we have in our primary home. I won't consider buying another Cuisinart product after this disaster!

artistic betrayal
Trash. Schlock. The Doors with an orchestra????When this album first came out, When I first heard it in 1969, I had an overwhelming feeling of personal betrayal. After the spectacular, "Doors", & "Strange Days", the good "Waiting for the Sun", this....In retrospect, the Doors were like many other groups, Jim wrote poems for years, before they became popular, before there was The Doors. The early gems were spread through the first three album. All new material. Here the muse had stopped! (Altho that Spirit did return, to some extent, for "Morrison Hotel" and "LA Woman".)Worst of all The Doors albums, for completeists only!Caveat Emptor. Just trying to save your money. Buy ANY of the other wonderful Doors album before this.

4.5 Star review simply for what it is
This is a dope, dirty, dusty, grimey, deep beneath the underground hip hop album. I usually write long reviews filed with a wealth of knowledge about the album but havnt had alot of time lately due to making my own music. However, everything LoDeck has put out is worth copping and checking out. He's to the point, has a lot to say, and not afraid to say it. He's got a cool accent due to the fact he moved to the states at a later age. Adds a lot to his music. The beats are from some dope underground producers mostly prior to listening unheard of by myself. I have no studied each of their discographies and am excited to hear more. Cop this and his other 2 albums especially "Postcards From The Third Rock." It is the most straight forward album and best engineered album he has put out and will rock your ears off. It is all produced by super producer Omega One. LoDeck- Can't wait for more material from this foreigner.~~E-RokSteadY

Nice case but a few problems
This is a very attractive case with cool blue lights on the front and convenient USB, firewire and audio jacks on the front panel. There is plenty of room to work inside. I am not impressed with the mounting system for the hard drives however. They mount on rubber gromments on slide in trays. In practice this is a noisy mounting method since the trays are not well secured and vibrate. Otherwise this is a very quiet case. The USB and firewiere cables have exactly the same connector on the end and are not labelled as to which is which. Plugging them into the wrong connector on the motherboard can cause damage. The power on LED cable is a 2 pin connector and my motherboard requires a 3 pin connector. The temperature display is worthless since there is no way to mount the sensors anywhere that would be useful. This is a very nice case, but for the rather high price you would think Antec could have taken better care of the small details.

Another great book by Suzanne Collins!
This is another great book in the Underland Chronicles. This one is about the Prophecy of Bane. Gregor is sent to kill The Bane, but that's when everyone thaught that the Bane was an over-sized rat that doomed the Underland. So, Gregor is sent on a long, dangerous journey to drain its light. Gregor does not kill the Bane, and he gives it to Ripred. Since I do not want to give away what happens, I will not say anymore. If you've read the last book, you will probaly remember the mentioning of another prophecy. Well, that was the Prophecy of Bane. I wish that the author would write more than 5 of these wonderful books. I would recommend for you to read Gregor the Overlander before reading this one. If this reveiw hasn't encouraged you to buy this, read the other reveiws! This book is one of my favorite books and always will be. I can't wait for the fifth Gregor book to come out. Buy this book!

SIMPLE AND RELIABLE
I'm not sure what would ever posess a person to spend more than $25 bucks or so on a toaster. Really what perks do you need. It's the most simple appliance in your home and it does one thing: toast bread. You find one that is reliable and you use it to death. So this is the best one to go with. A good sized four slice toaster, wide enough for bagels or Texas Toast. Four slots and quick toasting mean you can make a mountain of toast fast. Unlike some toasters the heat settings actually mean something. Light means light...dark means...well, you know. Removable tray for dropping the crumbs in the garbage. That's really all the bells and whistles you need. This looks good and cleans up with a wipe of a wet cloth. A real workhorse! This is a great working item that will last you years and it's at a value price. Highly recommended!

Dean misses the mark!
I am an avid reader of Dean Koontz's work, and this has got to be the most boring, confusing and strange work to date. I couldn't stand Del. What a braggart! She was so ridiculous, I can also believe that she would have to have been an alien! No human being could possibly be a great marksmen, a hot-shot race car driver, psychic, and everything else she was purported to be. Give me a break! And Tuong "Tommy" Phan is a disgrace to the Vietnamese race! What a wimp! I think the idea of a "voodoo" doll with strange powers could have made for a good read, but let's face it folks, this just wasn't it. I was very disappointed, and sorry I wasted my time. I don't think my library would want it as a donation

Entertaining riot of a movie!
I'm not much into the real old movies unless it's some of the older Disney movies or the first 3 James Bonds. So one night before I was going to watch Blood And Wine, I checked this movie out. I was pleasantly surprised. Peter Sellers is a riot as Vanucci, a career thief, who poses as a movie director to steal a shipment of gold. The humor in every scenario is priceless. Especially the "movie" Vanucci makes with the "filming crew" when he has his sister (Britt Eklund) and a famous American actor (Victor Mature) running on the beach and sitting at a table talking about absolutely nothing. Mature as the gullible American actor is a scene stealer. Him and Sellers are my 2 favorite characters in this movie. After The Fox is a little campy, but it certainly makes up for that with the laugh out loud moments. This is an older movie you truly don't want to miss out on. It's pure comedy gold!

This is DB, of course it's good.
As soon as I found out about this cd, I ran out to get it. Any d'n'b fan would love a DB mix. This is no exception. This album represents a more mature d'n'b sound, as all DB's albums do. It's not your typical d'n'b, and it's a little more chill, compared to most d'n'b. This particular mix is not as easily digestible and takes time to get into but it will definitely grow on you. There are some huge tracks on this mix. The Peter K remixes of 'Contact' and 'Trefusis Point' are far and away the best for me. 'What a Woman' is great, and has a great little organ solo on it. 'Sublime' has a sweet sped up vocal sample and is a little more hype and then '2B' finishes the album very nicely. With the bargain price you can't afford to miss this.

Nothing like it since. . . .er, Paper Mario!!!!!
This is adorably cute. It does have many of the basic Zelda memes in place. . . .Grandma in her house, burning bushes, sparkling gems, green-clad Link. . . .but it's two-dimensional, arcade-style gaming. If you're looking for the outstandingly sophisticated Link, Hero of Time adventures seen in the last few years-- this isn't it. Ideal for four Game-Boy-equipped middle-schoolers at a sleepover. Adults are unlikely to enjoy it.

It's not Version 2.0, and that's okay. . .
I read your reviews before I bought and was really concerned about the high number of "hated it"s. Beautiful Garbage is NOT 2.0 - I agree. 2.0 is tighter, more consistent in flow and content, and I think better. That said, Beautiful Garbage is a great disc in its own right. Different from 2.0, which was different from Garbage. No disc hits 14 home runs on tracks, but it's strong. BG evokes multiple moods - it rocks on some songs, wails and mourns on others (and two I just click past). Shirley is strong vocally, and pushes into new styles. Music is tight, and on most tracks is very "hard" in the Garbage style fans love and expect. I like BG BECAUSE it's different from 2.0. 3 albums, 3 evolutions in style and substance. If I want Garbage that sounds like 2.0 - I'll pop in 2.0. Beautiful Garbage is a great work, and broadens its appeal to listeners because of its creativity and variety. Don't bash your band for evolving. Everything grows, or it dies.

What is going on?
I don't know if we are talking about the same album. I am so let down by "Living With The Law" that I want to scream. I bought this album based on reviews saying it was his best album. I heard the song "Big Sky Country" and love it. The album is so out of tune and like a head ache. It is nothing like "Big Sky Country" How are people saying this is the best album. It is not even good. I almost bought his newest album instead because I love the song "Radar". I was told that this was his best. What a shame. Please, do not listen to others. This album was so boring. It sounds like someone in his garage was just playing out of tune blues with a loud guitar. Not hypnotic, moving, beautiful music like it was supposed to be. Nothing like Daniel Lanois which was why I bought it. Why? Why did this have to be so bad.

Very cheap looking
Honestly? The illustrations on the box are deceptive, and make this look like a really well built little mailbox. It's not. The construction is cheap and shoddy. The three front pieces on the door aren't aligned with each other at all, and look like a school kid cut them out and glued them on. Staples were visible from the front. Took it out of the box, looked at it, and decided immediately, without a moment's hesitation, that it was being returned. I'm giving it two stars because delivery was excellent (always is!), return process was a breeze (always is!) and I'm sure that appearance aside, it is a functional mail box. Two stars may be overly generous - save your money and look elsewhere.

Would definitely recommend
I ordered this for our toy poodle who is getting older. Fortunately, the wrap has been absorbent enough on its own for his needs, as he usually only wears it at night. We have not needed any additional pads as other reviewers have indicated. We thought for sure he would not like wearing it, however he has yet to acknowledge that it's even on him. We received the item only a few days after ordering which was a giant plus for us. One thing to note before ordering is size. I originally ordered a size Small and it was significantly too small for our 10-lb toy poodle. We ended up ordering a size Medium for him. It fits pretty good circumference wise, however it is a little too big for him as it covers a larger area than needed. Even though it is slightly too large for him, there has been no leaks. I would have rated it 5 stars other than that.

DON'T BE SUCKED IN BY THE HYPE
I had been anticipating this film for months after a friend of mine was in a test screening during the SXSW Film Fest. I waited in line three hours for tickets. Here's the real scoop. The creators of this film are ingenious. The way they organized and promoted this film is something that will be studied for years to come. But the movie itself is an utter disappointment. It is NOT scarier than 'The Exorcist.' It does NOT do for the woods what 'Jaws' did for the water. It's pretty much a theatrical version of MTV's 'The Real World' with a shoddy and slight supernatural spin on it. There were two things that were genuinely frightening about this movie: seeing just how many times the characters could use the word 'f**k,' and the realization that I wasted fifteen bucks and an hour and a half of my life on this movie. It's worth a rental so you can draw your own conclusions, but prepare to be disappointed.

Greatest sports bra ever!
I am a 36 DD, and have a very hard time finding sports bras that actually work. No pull over the head ones for me. I am a horseback rider and 5 day a week runner, and play tennis and soccer, so I need a bra that will hold everything in place, no bouncing down the street. I had found this bra years ago in the mall and loved it, I bought 5. They lasted years with heavy wear. I had trouble finding them again however, as the stores in the mall no longer carried them. I tried a few other bras in the meantime, but none of them could compare to this one. Even my old worn out champion bras were better than any new ones I tried. I was so happy to find them online, and at half the price! For big busted women who want as little movement as possible, this is the only bra for you! I will never buy another type.

Shockingly bad!
I don't think Marek Halter ever looked at the Bible. (See below for truly great novels on Bible Characters.) He certainly is confused about Sarah. The book starts out with Sarah finding out she is bleeding for the first time and disgusted. Later in the book, Lot (Abraham's nephew ) makes a pass at her (when she is 60 years old)! What a disgrace this book is. It was disgusting and portrays porn scenes almost from the beginning. Recommendation: Read "Sarah" "Rebekah" & "Rachael & Leah" in the "Women of Genesis" series written by Orson Scott Card. Also read "Gods & Kings" by Lynn. N. Austin. This is the first book in her series called 'Chronicles of the Kings" - You will be so blessed by these 5 books. All Lynn Austin's books are truly a blessing and deeply engrossing.

I'd rate it more than 5 stars if I could
All I have to say is WOW! I have never heard anything like AIR before! If it were not for seeing their video, "Sexy Boy" on MTV, I would have never heard of them. I am usually not the type of person who buys a CD after hearing just one song, but I did this when I heard "Sexy Boy." This entire CD is absolutely unbelievable. Why can't there be more innovative, creative bands like AIR out there? This band is in a category all their own. Not only is their music relaxing and soothing, it has so much depth to it. Each song is so different. This is by far one of my favorite CDs and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates unique bands like AIR. I can't wait to go get Premiere Symptomes. Go out and buy it!

Very stereotypical metal
Stereotypical metal indeed. it's heavy, fast, loud-what else do you want? The flipped out distortion blitzes from the sixties (heard on "Vincebus Eruptum" by Blue Cheer, and "Kick Out the Jams" by MC5) are starting to be a little more controlled here, but it's not as sterilized as Kiss. There's one ballad, and the opening track is sort of a throwback to songs like "Dazed and Confused" (the old style of slow, long & drawn out metal), but it also points the way towards Iron Maiden. The other 8 tracks are basically more primal versions of what you expect from Cream. Or Deep Purple. Or Dio. Or whoever does this stuff now (if anyone does). Maybe this band influence Spinal Tap! What can I say? It's metal, not punk, not glam, not thrash, it's one of the most pure examples of "Heavy Metal" ever recorded.

Interesting characters
This is a good book. The characters are interesting--everyone has a different outlook on life. Gareth is the narrator. He starts out as a serf in Ireland, and due to a curse, is sent to work for Trystan in Britian. However, Trystan manages to get himself banished from Britain, and then sends for Gareth to come to Amorica. By this time, Gareth is a lord in his own right, and companion of King Arthur.The Arthurian legend is often mentioned in conjunction with this book. And although Arthur & Gwenevere play a role in the book, they aren't the main focus. Gwen & Lancelot are only mentioned once, and even then it is in passing. Arthur plays the larger role because he is commander of the troops of which Gareth & Trystan are members.I liked the people in the book, and I thought that Ms. Hawks did a good job bringing them to life. Be warned--this book can be rather depressing. It is full of lost loves, curses, death and people just trying to survive.Enjoy!

Find me a better story
Other reviewers have described the plot, so I will skip that part. First - I am a big Vin Diesel fan. The story starts out with some action but quickly mires in a courtroom setting. I had nothing invested in these characters. You like Vin's character because he is funny and has some angst going on. But how they got to this landmark case and why - all back story.I think this story would have been better told in a mini-series format. (But then the A- list people wouldn't have done it). The first 2 hours would be showing us their dirty dealings and then subsequent arrest. The 2nd two hours could have been the trial.As much as I like "talking" films - those with dialogue and not a lot of action - this one just didn't deliver. It was - as another reviewer stated - a vehicle for Vin to show his more serious dramatic side.The hair piece rivaled the one that Sean Connery in "Hunt for Red October". It was good to see Peter Dinglage - loved him in "The Station Agent".

One Word Sums It All Up - Weird
Once upon a time not too long ago, some movie people got together and decided to make a movie about an oil tycoon from the turn of the century. "Let's make it really weird with some really weird string instrument music from a bad horror movie!" one movie making guy suggested. "Yeah! Great idea! Weird! I like that. The critics won't understand it, so they'll conclude it's bigger and deeper than it is and we'll get Oscar consideration. Dumb people will line up around the block to see it!"And there you have it.Here it is in a nutshell: Evil guy swindles innocent people out of their land. He drills oil. He gets rich. He goes crazy. The end.Call me simple, but I'm the type of guy who likes movies like "Jurassic Park," "The Empire Strikes Back," "It's a Wonderful Life," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," and "Back to the Future."Why don't they make movies like that anymore?

Favorite Hair Dryer EVER!!
My hair stylist recommended this hairdryer and I can't say enough about it. It is lightweight and has a high/low setting and a cool trigger. It comes with several filter replacements although I've had mine about a year and haven't needed to replace that yet. I just suck the lint/dust out with my vacuum when needed.This dryer has done wonders for my hair. I always had cheapie dryers that got pretty hot. I didn't realize their was another way! I have a lot of coarse hair so usually after drying I look like the before part of the Frizz-ease commercial. With this dryer (while using a round brush) I don't even need to straighten my hair. It doesn't get very hot at all and it cut my drying time in half!! Not sure how that's possible but it is.I found the cheapest price on Amazon and my stylist was shocked when she heard how little I paid so I was pretty pleased. I'll never go back to those cheapie dryers ever again!!!

Love It!
This warmer is just great. I read about the brown wipes, water spills, etc. but we haven't had ANY problems. As long as you keep the pad wet nothing turns brown. Even when we've forgotted to wet the pad for a long time, only the pad has dried out & turned brown- none of the wipes ever did. They just dried up a bit & weren't as warm. And once you re-wet the pad it turns white again. Also, I read that another poster could only get the pop up feature to work with a certain brand of wipes but we've used lots of different wipes & they all pop up fine. I've opened the lid several times & never had any water spillage either. The lid is curved so all the water stays inside the warmer, even the condensation drips back inside when you open it. I really love it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts is because the original we got as a gift didn't work at all & we had to return it & get a new one. That one has worked just great.

Heart of a Warrior
Heart of a Warrior is the third book in a series that began with Warrior's Woman. Though Martha's (the super computer)comments were funny in the previous romances, I felt that Johanna Lindsey went overboard with her this time. Martha's character dominates in this novel, often times spouting psychobabble or redundant information. Both Dalden and Brittany spend more time talking to her than to each other. The two of them seemed to have no reason to love each other besides the fact that they were both tall. I didn't appreciate the age difference. Alien or not, he was only 21 and she was almost 30. Brittany spent the majority of the novel not believing that she's left earth despite overwhelming evidence. Her refusal oversteps "stubborn." It soon becomes just plain stupid. This novel only served to make me miss Warrior's Woman--a far superior novel.

Problems
I bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas. In early January the battery failed to charge. After navigating the Fuji website and then calling their repair dept. I sent the battery back and waited. Meanwhile my daughter had a school trip scheduled. After repeated calls the new battery arrived. Lo and behold it still would not charge. I was told to return the camera, battery and charger. I bought my daughter another camera to take on her trip (NOT a Fuji). I spoke to Fuji camera repair today. They have had the camera for a week. They gave me a ref # and said to call back in another week.I cannot tell you how well this camera takes pictures because it has never worked for more than one day.Bad product and terrible customer service. You have been warned.

Very Nice
I really like this watch. It gets some attention, and is fun to look at. I have another Citizen Eco-drive, and so this was a pretty easy sell. It is very lightweight for the size. For me, getting used to the bigger watch wasn't too big of a deal. I'm 6', 230 lbs, and have a large frame. I think the single biggest gripe I have about it is the fact that it isn't a perpetual calendar. I should have paid more attention to that 'missing' feature. Since my other Eco-drive does have that feature, I really have come to rely upon it. You basically set the date one time and it knows the month, day, leap year, etc. With this Calibre, although it's more than twice the price of my other Citizen, it's lacking that feature. I didn't realize this until I bought it. I can honestly say I may have purchased a different watch, if I had known I would have to fix the date every month. That is so annoying!

Cool movie!
I remember seeing this movie in the theater with my parents and I liked it. I thought it was good. It was more like The Karate Kid and Last Action Hero. Because it's talking about a kid who learns Karate and he has a movie hero friend with him. It's about a boy named Barry (Jonathan Brandis) who is picked on all the time by a bunch of bullies and he is going through some difficult times with his life. He has an imaginery movie hero friend named (Chuck Norris) who tries to save him from the bullies. Then, later on his friend teaches him Karate and he starts to defend himself. I can't tell you the rest because I don't want to ruin the whole movie for you. But anyways it's a great movie if ya'll hadn't seen it go rent it first before buying it because it may be boring for the first time you see it. Because it was a little boring when I first saw it in the theaters but when I saw it again for my second time it wasn't that boring. So go rent this movie you will like it!

computer speakers
I watch tv over my computer screen. Also just upgraded to 32". Had been very happy with the Bose Companion speakers that were damaged in moving. This set has the seperate woofer. The sound is even more sharper, crisper and cleaner !! The base is a mixed blessing. It is fantastic most of the time- the sound is MORE life -like. But it is prone it shape "pops" and "thuds" for little things. ie- someone thumps a book. A loud, sharp thud is produced, out of proporation with the action. In action scenes, the sound could not be better. It just is TOO sensitive. There should be a way to moderate the bass.

Product didn't hold up - poor customer service
I am editing a previously glowing review on this item. I had it for a few months and suddenly litter started spilling everywhere whenever I rolled it. I examined it and found that the plastic grate on the inside was not fitting properly. I contacted customer service, and they offered to replace the part, to which I agreed. I never got a reply. I contacted them again to follow up on it and, again, never got a reply. I finally contacted them a 3rd time, a little perturbed by this point and, once again, no reply. I wound up throwing it away when I moved because it was virtually useless (aside from incredibly messy) without a properly functioning grate. This *was* an amazing product until the grate warped for no reason whatsoever and they didn't comply with their promise to replace it. Very disappointing, to say the least, and money essentially thrown in the litter box. :(

They must be kidding.
In a word: bunk. At best, the Urantia Book regurgitates truths and beliefs that transcend all religions. There is nothing new here. On the other hand, most of the so-called "revelations" are not only unremarkable, but downright silly. "Channeled"? "Inspired by 'spirit beings'"? Aliens? No, more like a group of bored people, getting stoned over the course of several evenings and perpetrating a colossal joke. Unfortunately, it worked. Rather than being brainwashed by a charismatic loudmouth, thousands have been brainwashed by a BOOK. Sad.

awful, awful, awful
i just finished reading this book called vampire blood by kathryn meyer griffith. anyone read this? (anyone ever even heard of this book?) and i have to say it was just awful. i don't quite know why i continued to read it. the plot was a standard plot. the story was not well written, the dialogue was cheesy. the most interesting characters, the two main vampires, were not explored at all, while the reader learns about the main char and her family, and these people are boring and not at all believable. the ending was predictable. and the main char's ex-husband comes back into the picture, and i know that i was supposed to root for these two to get back together and triumph over the vampires, but all i wanted was for the vampires to kill them...i mean put me out of my misery. and jeff (the ex) was such a whiney baby...i don't know what the main char. saw in him. talk about whipped...anyway, if you haven't read it...don't. trust me.

Is it Jim or is it Not?
To me this book fully explained why Jim might have faked his death. The constant harrassment from the authorities made his life unbearable as it would any of us. His life became split into two realities. The one which the media made him out to be and his own: deep, creative, exploring. Two Jims, two personalities, intertwined yet separate. One very happy and one very very sad. Reading this book made me understand that he had to disappear. But, is Jim dead or not? Well, we do know there is much mystery about it. This book put my spirit at ease with any of the many possibilities. Mind expanding so to speak! I highly recommend you get this book for it may be the best you ever read.

Acid-Brass?
Herb Alpert's new album is a bit of a disappointment. Here he collaborates with members of the rock group Living Colors and tries to make what sounds like acid-jazz. There are parts of this CD that's very bottom-heavy, and can blow out your speakers. He sounds rather lifeless on this recording, as opposed to his past two albums. There are some good songs on here. "Think About It" is the best. Nice acoustic guitars with Alpert doodling on muted trumpet, only to break into an upbeat passage. "I Want You" is one of his better solos, and "Colors" sounds like a Miles Davis tune. "Look Of Love" is okay, but the vocals are terrible on this. "Dorita" is just a bad song. "Magic Man" has its moments, but drags on too much. This is clearly not one of Alpert's better efforts, and this Herb Alpert fan is disappointed.

Poorly designed, needs a lot of fussing
We purchased this big kid marble run last Christmas. Our children never touched it after the first day. It does not work as designed. My husband had to add bean bags to all of the bases to keep them from falling over. The marbles included with the set could not complete the loop. We did have success with lighter weight marbles that we had around the house. Curves had to be adjusted multiple times to keep the marbles on the track. I guess there was some educational value for the kids to try to figure out how to make this poorly designed product work. They needed significant coaching from their engineer father. By the time they got it to work, they had lost interest. It was a waste of money.

Now this is a knife...
Even after reading the reviews for this knife (model CKSURG), I was a bit surprised how large it actually was. The box it comes is measures 14.5" x 3.5" x 2" and the knife takes up most of the space in the box. The knife it self is well constructed. The one and only complaint I might have is with the sheath. The sheath is made up of a ballistic nylon strap and a plastic receptacle that the knife slides into. (There are some metal parts, such as the screws and the D-ring at the bottom). My problem is the plastic receptacle the blade fits into - it's form fitted to the shape of the blade. Which means the blade only fits in one way. That could be a problem depending on which side you want to wear the knife or if you're left handed. It also makes you have to pay a bit more attention when re-sheathing the knife. Minor issue I know, but I thought I would mention it.

Justification for (...).
They were once great, but, this is a joke. Where are the songs? This CD contains barely three or four songs! The rest are just random sound effects/noise and song "fragments", that's not ART, that's unfinished work! Tool has now joined the ranks of those talented bands who have turned their backs on the roots of their success. If you don't believe me, listen to Ticks&Leeches again. They're yelling at the Record Execs and Producers! This CD is just a vehicle for their angst against the record company. If Tool set out to make a junky, unfinished, unlistenable record... they've Succeeded! I say DON'T BUY it, and maybe next time they'll have to return to making real music (or they won't get a contract). We certainly don't need more releases like this.

Don't waste your time
My daughter begged for this toy for weeks after seeing it on tv and by chance we found one in Learning Express. We couldn't wait to get home and inflate it. We didn't have helium, so we blew into it with the straw. It was just ok when we took it outside, but she didn't like it cause it didn't look like the one on tv. So of course the next day I filled it with helium to make it fly like the tv...Big mistake, I over inflated it too. The plastic circle inside bent and wouldn't straighten even after we deflated it some. Then voila, my son poked it with his remote control car antenna and put a hole in it. I duck taped the hole to keep it goin longer, but then the circle inside broke in half and we couldn't use it at all any more. This toy is not durable in the least, just picture a regular old helium balloon with a plastic cirle inside. I thought it was junk and wish we got something else instead. Save your money

Don't Buy This.
I respectfully differ with the positive reviews for this collection (and for the "Face to Face" reissue as well.) I dropped $50 on this set of table coasters and I'm frankly angry. They're almost unlistenable. I find it very hard to conceive that a qualified mastering engineer (or anyone involved with making the original records) signed off on this.The bass! The BASS! Everything is done to pump every amount of bass in the tracks. There so boomy and ultra-compressed on the bottom end that it creates harmonic bass blooms way below the original frequency range of the recording. Someone said the records are compressed but not "brickwalled". I couldn't disagree more. When the sustain of the bass not is much louder than the note itself, you have ridiculous compression and bass issues going on.I'm so displeased at the money I spent on these reissues that I may indeed get in touch with Sanctuary and ask for my money back. The previous reissues sound great. Stick with them. Don't buy this!

Linda Eder Shines
Linda Eder has done it again. For anyone who knows anything about music, her clear voice and remarkable range are highlighted on this album. She can go from the powerful statement songs (I am What I Am, Man of LaMancha, Don't Rain on My Parade), to the quiet, peaceful and poignant (Edelweiss, I'll be Seeing You, Unusual Way). And no matter what the few will say, she does Broadway Her Way. Not Barbra's, not Judy's, not Ethel's. There is nothing to find fault with on this CD. You may like other versions of these songs better, but these are still worth the listen. The incredible control, and the ability to hold a note longer than just about anyone on the planet (and it doesn't lose a thing at the end!) are nothing short of amazing. Singers everywhere will have to listen over and over to catch all the technical brilliance of these songs. Enjoy it!

Yuck!
Okay, anyone that comes to my house will quickly see, I'm not a neat freak. Not in the slightest. These were so messy! I know, I know. It's kindda the deal, but I just didn't realize how big a mess it made. Plus, stinker just didn't get into it. He'd rather mash it into the floor than suck on it. Maybe he was too little? Dunno. But these are going in the trash. They just seem like a good place for germies to live. I couldn't really get them clean. Seemed like they always had a little old food living in them. Kindda like a old kitchen dish cloth. Bleh!

Who's the real "Mr. Boring"?
I have read this book through and through, and I have read the brief review pannning the book and the response by the author, Eugene Taylor. I had two reactions: First, I found the author's "rebuttal" rather spooky. It was a mean-spirited response, not at all polite or -- dare I say -- spiritually enlightened, although the author hints at his own ability to see into the great beyond and to know more than the rest of us who are not blessed with such . . . experiences. He is apparently thin-skinned, and perhaps, after I read this book, I now see that he has reason to be. Which brings me to my second point, my review of the book: I found myself in total agreement with the reviewer from Lincoln, Mass. I'm sorry to say this, but the book is boring. And repetitive. And offers a thesis that is not very original at all. I have read many books on the history of New Age spirituality, and this is just so-so.

Try and try again!
Looking for a wide angle and a friend of mine really liked her Sigma 10-20 saying it took sharp pics. So instead of investing in the Canon for alot more I ordered the Sigma. The first copy was extremely soft wide open and closed down. Sent it back for another copy which was alot better wide open but at about f11 on up it got softer and softer, not sharp at all at f32 which seems odd since you'd think wide open would have the issues. I exchanged this lens three times! The last three lens were all the same. Thinking somethings up or it's just typical for this lens, I called Sigma. They advised me to send in my Canon 50d with the lens and they would check it out. Seems there's firmware in the lens which may not be reading my camera correctly, or at least that's how I interpreted it. Haven't gotten it back yet, will let you know if there's any change. Just beware, check the lens out as soon as you get it.

Throw Away this trash...
1st of all, I was the biggest Throwdown fan back a few years back. Beyond Repair and then the two EPS afterwards were NOTHING like the music scene at the time. Pure Originality. The production was heavy, the screaming was ridiculously crazy, and the shows were killer. NOW, with Haymaker I rate them as the worst band on the planet. They are a modern day Metallica, hungry for money and publicity. They even had an interview with Hot Topic. MTV is next!!! The new cd is not heavy at all compared to their older stuff. The bass is turned down, the drums are slowed to a crawl...Oh yeah, and the new vocals suck. Cliche. Hatebreed anyone? Bring back the old singer. Is there anything not wrong with this album? THeir live shows are awesome. It still can't hide the fact their music now sucks. One word: "Sellout." Just like the song on Beyond Repair.

Have not lost weight in three weeks but glad to be off sugar
I like reading her book and it all makes sense. It just must be hard for some to lose that last ten pounds. I've been on the diet for three weeks and have lost only one pound. I work out and exercise four times a week and have followed it to the tee. I am happy to be off sugar and coffee - didn't even have a headache and that's amazing for a five cup a day person. Anyone who has been on it and had trouble losing could you e-mail me some tips? I wish Suzanne had put in more troubleshooting ideas for those of us who are not losing. Portion control - what to cut out!!! She needs a web site.Please anyone who can help, I'd like to hear from. Maybe all of us somerizers can start a club!!!!!!!All in all a good book.

Still kicks ass after 38 years
I have not listened to Bang Bang You're Terry Reid since 1971-72. I rediscovered it again and bought the CD and it still rocks better than any new music out there today. I fell in love with his voice all over again. So different. It makes you feel. My favorite song is Loving Time. But Season of the Witch is Awesome and so is Bang Bang. I do admit there are a few songs that I don't care for and don't fit in but on the whole I love it. It's a shame people like him don't make it while other mediocre people do. Who wants to listen to the same thing that everyone listens to. I want to hear something different and if I have to go back to 1968 well then.........He is supposed to have a blues band together with Brian Auger and Mick Taylor. I would look forward to hearing that. Terry Reid is a well kept secret that I am glad I know about.

very happy w/ this fountain
Went to pick up a different brand of fountain at another store and they were all sold out. I'm actually glad now because I'm really happy with this pet fountain for my cat. Very good product for the price. It is not loud at all, just a little hum of the motor. It does start to sputter if the water level gets too low, but that's pretty standard for any water/pump mechanism. I've had this for a month now and have attempted to clean it twice... and there's been nothing to clean! I was worried after reading the reviews that this would be a problem. There are a lot of pieces and crevices, but it's not been too difficult so far. My cat was drinking from it on day one. He has had some issues with his kidneys, so I'm hoping this encourages him to drink more water. Very happy with my choice of this fountain.

krups creates "Coffee Fun"
I just purchased a Home Cafe about 5 weeks ago. I was initially thinking this whole idea was a gimmick but I love trying new things. I LOVE IT!!!! It's fun, it makes great coffee. I love the cappucino pods, all my neighbors have purchased one after tasting my foamy delicious coffee. My kids love watching the steam come out with each cup. The only reason I am not giving this machine 5 stars is that the switch to seal the pods had become extremley hard to open. (were talking two hands plus to open) I have contacted Krups by email with my problem and I will update you on how good their customer service works. I would definatley reccomend this machine. Not only is it fun, tastes good and sexy sitting on your kitchen countertop it adds a whole new dimension of fun to your mornings. Even my husband who hates coffee and everything to do with it, loves watching it make my coffee.

DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!!!!!!!!!
The quality of the video is good when it works! The key is when it works. Not only do they have no driver support but the computer won't even recognize the player. This drive has been out less than a year and they stopped supporting it. The software that comes with is useless except InterVideo WinDVD. The drivers that came with the DVD, the computer won't even recognize the floppy disk. I know at this point you are wondering about the validity of my computer. I am A++ certified and I built this computer myself and this DVD drive that doesn't work. Oh, it use to work off and on for about a month. When you contact the manufacturer they told me that normal IDE CD-ROM drivers that comes with WIN98 will work. Crock!!! Please save yourself from any pain. I bought this drive because of the Creative Labs name needless to say I will never buy they're products again.

Don't Get This Game
Do not get this game! The graphics are really bad. The crowd is paper thin yet the picture on it looks 3-D. Not what I would expect from a Gamecube. The controles are confusing. I don't understand the concept of hitting the ball, you get the little triangle shape on the ball and it moves when you have no chance of hitting it. The main screen print is almost so tiny I can barely read it. The sound is not that bad. Its basically the best thing about the game. Overall, the game royally sucks so don't get it! If you do you'll regret it, I know I sure did. Its the worst (money) I've spent in my life.

What A Calamity!
I read Mitchell's "The Vampire de Sade" about a month ago. I wasn't blown away by the novel, but I decided that I would try one of the other books in the Marquis de Sade series. I wish I had not. Mitchell's work is an absolute train wreck. This novel was supposed to be about de Sade and a big battle with another vampire named Marie. Instead, 80% of the novel was about a family of vampires that Marie and de Sade pay a visit too. The characters were completely flat, there was basically no plot, the dialogue was atrocious, and it was once sad and tired cliche after another. I will not be reading anymore of Mitchell's work. I am a huge fan of vampire fiction, but I will not be reading this garbage just because it is part of that genre. I am really surprised that "Tainted Blood" received such a high rating. I am horribly disappointed and I would not recommend Mitchell's works to anyone.

Great!
I always heard that this film was great. So I thought that I would find out! After viewing this film people where right! It's great! Humphrey Bogart gave his best performance ever! The supporting cast was just down right great. The film does in a very smart way flash back to Paris from time to time and I thought that for once this was done well. Usually they don't need to be in there and they are done badly. Not in Casablanca! Just a note to some other people that it was released in 1943. Just look at the cover. A great acted, directed and scripted film. Among the best ever made! Grade:A

Why
Thats right WHY!!!! There is no reason to put up with this kind of problem. Ink sticks to plastic, glass and even each other if you put one picture on top of another. Ha!!!! Get out a hair dryer and dry the ink...Why Hp is giving this paper away when you buy ink, and the 4x12's,,,buy 1 and they will give you 1 free!!!!!!Why!!!! because the paper sucks,,, Don't buy it I'm sending mine back for a refund or for a paper that works I really have to laugh when I look at the pics and can't understand WHY people would try to talk themselves into using this paper. Mabe if you put tape on the back of the pic and hang them on a line you could look at them this way. Let me read what it says on the 110 vivera ink Brilliant, long-lasting. NOW! Water- and smudge- resistant prints. This is the kind of mix-match that the company's tell you can happen when you use aftermarket paper or inks. Shame on you HP

Where's the Support???
Received this product as a birthday present. Followed instructions perfectly, downloaded firmware and player would not turn on. Took back to store, exchanged for new player, same thing happened. Website says this problem occurs rarely and gave instructions to fix. The magical "fix" did not do a thing. There are also conflicting instructions between their website and the package. Tried customer service phone number and you sit on hold, then leave a message. Wrote an e-mail to technical support and never received a response. Took back to store, got a Phillips 128mb Rush player and it works great! Also, their customer service reps were standing by just in case but, it was so user friendly that I didn't even need it. If you have this player, take it back to the store and spend the extra $20 to get a Phillips. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Just not that good.
I've heard better by him. A lot of the songs are, frankly, boring. They might be entertaining lyrically, but at the same time, if the music is bland, why make the effort to write good lyrics? The horns are overpowering on a lot of the songs, a la Phil Collins in some of his latter day releases, not to mention the weak keyboards that seem to infuse too many of the songs. It's just a corny cd for the most part, in my opinion. Listen to Boomerang Love, if you must, and hear the word Boomerang come out of his mouth at least 25 times in the song, particularly in the chorus. But whether you are a parrothead or not, which I am borderline; I love Buffett. This is just flat-out an average cd, not a 5-star by any stretch of the imagination. Don't be misled. Just because an artist has put out brilliant stuff in his past doesn't mean every cd is a great one. Here is a clear example of such.

World of Colors
We own alot of the Baby Einstein products. Our son really enjoys watching the DVD's. Recently we purchased Baby Van Gogh- World of Colors, I have to say, this one is our least favorite! Some of the sound effects are so loud they scare my son! On each color they have a poem, well, you have to turn your volume way up to hear what they are saying! If you forget to turn it back down, the sound effects are even louder!! I would not recommend this DVD unless you really feel you want to purchase it for your child! Though it would be nice to introduce your child to color, I would recommend finding another type of movie to do so! Unless you want to sit with your child each time he/she watches this with the remote on hand to keep turning the volume up and then back down! It just frustrates me, so needless to say, we don't watch this one!!

Noisy, but ideal for me.
I live in an apartment and I bought a new carpet. If you've bought a carpet before you know how much they "shed" in the first few days. The hand sweeper didn't do the job, so I needed a vacuum. I calleed my daughter & she told me how much she loved her dirt devil. So I checked out the reviews & it had one of the best overall ratings so I bought one. Arrived in two days, took me ten minutes or so to read the instructions & to assemble the vac & away we went. It works great - powerful suctions & convenient to use. I like the light and the extra hook on the handle so you can loop your power cord there and avoid running over it allthetime. Only drawback is the noise. It is loud. So I put in earplugs when I vac. An easy 5 stars from this old batchelor. I'm happy! You will be too if you're looking for an inexpensive top quality vac.

You must be kidding
I read many of the reviews of High heat baseball and most of them said the game was great but the graphics were not so hot. Not so hot is the understatement of the year. The graphics are terrible. I mean worse than any PS1 game that I ever played. OK, the AI is pretty good but lets face it the graphics are what makes the game fun to play. The crowd noise and the announcers suck. You can jack a homer out of the park and the crowd barely reacts. The announcers repeat the same quotes over and over, many times the same comment will be heard consecutively. I wouldn't waste a dime on this game. My advice is to rent it before you buy it. I would recommend EA triple play. It does not have the AI that High Heat has but the game looks great and a lot more fun.
