Certainly not the 'essential' SLF album
This album advertises itself as the 'essential' SLF album. This is definitely not the case and I speak as one of the band's biggest fans. For one thing it features none of the band's hits (it makes a point of not including any singles). For another only about half the songs here would make any SLF fan's selection of the best album tracks. What is 'Breakout' doing on here? Why have they included songs from the dreadful 'Tinderbox' album? Why so many from 'Now then'? In many cases the album tracks selected are actually the worst on their respective albums (with the exception of the excellent choices from 'Hope Street'). If this is the 'essential' SLF album how come only 4 of these songs ever make it into their live shows? This is not a good introduction to one of the best ever bands. On the plus side it includes good liner notes.

Fun toy with many pieces
We have pretty much all of the POTC toys that have been made! The Megabloks Black Pearl pirate ship has a lot of detail and a lot of pieces. We have two of these and they each took about 20 minutes to build. The ships are fragile so if your child likes to play rough they will come apart. My 7yo and 4yo boys love them anyway. They are rich in detail and my kids are into their imaginary play for hours with them.We also have the Zizzle Black Pearl pirate ship. It doesn't have nearly as many parts (not the "Lego" style like Megabloks) and is bigger. It has some cool electronic noises and trap doors, but is not as detailed as the Megabloks version. The Megabloks version has real sails too. The Zizzle ship has no action figures, so you have to order the 3" figures separately (my kids just use their Megabloks figures).Their other favorites are the Megabloks Flying Dutchman (built a lot like the Black Pearl) and the Dead Man's Chest. These sets are a must have for the POTC fan!

Top quality sun protection!
The stitching on these products are top notch. On par or better than that armor stuff ;).I wear these as an undershirt underneath long sleeve, upf 30+ button down shirts for extra sun blockage. This is to work in the heat of the outdoors. Any and all things to keep the radiation off of me.I have an athletic build. Big chest, big arms and a little waist. I'm 5'9", 170lbs. I bought the XL, they are just right for me...though a little loose in the torso and waist area, but "whatchagonnado"?Product has a nice and generous cut to the length of it, so you can keep it well tucked...if you're wearing it like me. ;)Please note, this item does create an interesting color shine. It casts an additional purple to it, which I believe is the UV blocking reaction, though not sure. I do find it nice. It is white in flourescent or indoor lighting and you'll notice the purple under heavy UV dosage. This applies to the white and carolina blue I purchased.

TRUTH:FROM THE INSIDE
I happen to be very much on the inside of this Church years ago. And I have nothing but praise for Mr.Herbert W. armstrong. All he did was promote the Give Way of life and that God is a Family soon to bring peace to this Earth. Not a thing wrong with that. They were the true remnant of the Original Church centuries ago. Little wonder they have been misunderstood. TRUTH of the Bible is rarely followed. Not popular. But this Church was the most successful Organization of its kind on T.V.,Print and Worldwide Humanitarian Efforts. Let the Truth stand instead of personal bias. After all, it's easy to put down someone who is no longer even living to defend themself. But then~God needs no defense.

What was this book about?
I did not understand why this book was written. What was it all about? The only point it seemed to make was Leslie's death at the end of the book. Overall I thought that it was exteremly uneventful. Terabithia seemed to have a small role to play in the book. 'Much ado about nothing' fits this novel.I cannot, however, ginve this book only one star. Giving it one star would be hating this book. I did not hate it I just thought that it never did get to the point. If it was a memior I would have liked it. As a memior I would have thought it was a good book because I would have expected this. (I wouldn't have picked it up though. Memior isn't quite my style.) I liked the characters and was sad when that girl died. I think that that is why I haven't given it one star.Not a ringing endorsement, but if memior is what you like I'd give it a shot.-cdm

BAD MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bat media? No BAD media. BEWARE! THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS! I purchased this item with the mistaken notion that it would come in both a Blu-Ray and 3D version. Shame on me. I located a current model 3D player and found that it wouldn't even load because it turned out is was a European region only ! This was not made clear when I purchased same. I contacted the seller twice by email. They who would not even return a simple reply to my inquiries. Now I am stuck with a useless piece of plastic. Thanks BAD MEDIA!

2 units quit working after about a year :(
When it works, it is a good unit. It is very expensive per cup. The parent company owns most of the many brands available for the machine so you get many choices of mostly very average at best coffee. The many choices let you think you'll eventually get a great coffee, but **sigh** you wont find the best beans in the greenmountain or keurig parent owned coffees. The coffee you will get will however make lots of money for keurig. Having said that, it is really fast for a fresh cup of coffee, and works good at making quick tea. You can use the large size setting on the b-70 to make a quick pot of your favorite tea, and that can be gourmet tea if you want which is nice. I have had two units. Both broke after about 11 months to a year. So don't expect them to last for a long time. Still I will probably buy a third. Im a 5-7 cup a day person and sometimes you need a quick fresh cup of average coffee.

WON'T LAST, bought 2 worked less than a year!!!
I love the space saving design. I have very low cabinets and most coffe makers don't fit under them. So, I bought this model. It leaked terribly within the first week. We put up with this as we had little options. The hot plate peeled and therefore the pot always stuck to the burner. Within a year it just stopped working. We thought that it was a fluke and bought another and had the EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN!! Again, it leaked immediatly, constantly. This one did not even last 6 months! At $60.00 a pop I will not buy this brand again. I hope someone else comes out with one. Don't waste your money. Great spacesaver but all the space you save will be constantly wet! We broke down a bought a standard coffee maker and just have to put up with the location of it.

Two Feel good movies for adults and children alike!
I saw the first Toy story, and like I'm sure most other people who saw it, loved it! The characters were well rounded, the storyline both funny and touching at the same time. I didn't think that the second film would even come close to the first. How wrong could I have been! The second, much hyped Toy Story came out, I saw it on opening night, with my four year old daughter in tow. It was even better than the first. Not only that, but never had I been in a theatre packed full of children, and it was silent! The children were enthralled, as was I. When Jessie's song came up I was close to tears, and looking around me, so was everyone else. This is a must see movie box set. 5 Stars doesn't come even close to rating this movie ;)

Interesting
This book is an excellent reference for Christian parents and educators. You will enjoy it. It is hard to find books that explain the dinosaurs in a way that does not include the THEORY of evolution. As it is a THEORY, not a law I see no reason to subject MY children to things that contradict MY beliefs. Which is why I find some of these reviews incredibly silly. If you are so intent on commenting on a book that you would never choose for yourself to begin with you have serious issues. We live in America. You are free to have your beliefs and these authors (and some people looking for legitimate reviews) are free to have their beliefs. Go review a book on Darwin and evolution. For like-minded Christians who would actually choose this book for YOUR children, this is well worth the investment. I hope this helps!

Great idea, fatally flawed by unacceptably poor reception
I thought I had found the radio time-shifting product I have wanted for years. The design is great, the software is easy to use, the interface to iTunes is excellent, but without decent reception it all for naught. I have a number of inexpensive radios (clock radios, "walkman" types, table radios, etc.) in my home. All of them, except the RadioShark get good reception from a number of local stations.Unfortunately, my RadioShark is plagued by horrid interference that seems to be coming via the apparently unshielded USB cable. There is no facility for an external antenna. Supposedly, you can orient the RadioShark to get acceptable reception. I have not been sucessful. Once or twice I thought I had been successful in getting decent reception. However, when I subsequently listened to the recording, it was intermittenly unlistenable. Very disappointing..

Wonderful .. one of my best buys
I was able to pull this out of the box and put it together and less than a minute. It is very colorful and the toys are very cute. I have a 3 month old that is a little to small to play with them, but she like to lay in there and look around at the toys and the colors. The bottom pad is cushioned but not very much. I think it is soft enough for naps and play time though. My 8 month old played in there last night and scooted his bottom around in there and played with the toys for about an hour. This is a larger playpen that would be hard to move from room to room. IT is 3 feet by 3 feet w/ no wheels on the bottom. I have it set up in the corner of the living room where I will keep it. There is noting about this that I do not like. My only change would be to have a cover that was washable for the bottom, but luckily I do not have a baby that spits up.

best of the best!!!!!
Steely Dan has so many great albums that it is an impossible task to determine which one is the best. But if I were forced to choose it would be a tie between 'Pretzel Logic' and 'Aja'. That said, 'Aja' is an incredible album! The immaculate production! Top notch studio players! Wayne Shorter's solo! If you are new to the Dan get this! The only album by Steely Dan that you should avoid is 'Gaucho'. It came right after 'Aja' and it really isn't that great. Where 'Aja' is vibrant and alive, 'Guacho' drags and is just plain boring. Bottom Line: Buy 'Aja'!!!!!

TERRIBLE!!!
This was the WORST book I have read in a long time. I loved Mitch Albom's first two books very much. It was a no-brainer that I had to have this the minute it came out! I read it in about 3 hours with few interruptions (maybe less time, not sure as a nap could have come in somewhere there!) and all I can say is: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???? It was awful. It had no meaning, the characters were terrible, it had no message and it was plain boring. At the end, I thought there was a joke or something or that I was missing a few chapters. I sold it on Ebay the next day to another unsuspecting soul. It was so bad I wouldn't recommend it if it were the last book on earth. AWFUL!!!!!

Sweet and sour
Ok, so I read this book to see what all the fuss was about. I wanted to totally hate it, I really wanted to...but I have to admit not all of the stuff in this book is trash. I think the whole idea of not nagging your husband to death is nice. Letting go of the small stuff is a good idea. But the rest? Utter baloney. Saying "I can't " when you can? Not giving your opinoin, even when he asks for it? Saying stuff like, "I can't carry {our toddler}. I need a big, strong man to help me"? If this is marriage, I'd rather be single.

BIG HUGE WASTE OF MONEY
I bought this because I have a three year old and laminate wood floors. I also have a bad back and sweeping with a broom is hard. I am constantly sweeping up cereal/crackers/etc and was hoping this machine would be the end of it. I am very sad to report it was a waste of money. The commercial is totally deceiving. It shows it picking up everything, even bolts. This machine does not even pick up Kix cereal. It takes twice as long to use as a broom and dustpan. Also the customer service department is a joke. They are extrememly unhelpful and very rude. Do yourself a favor, learn from my mistakes and don't buy ANYTHING that says Euro pro or Shark on it!

Mother Daughter Wisdom
Don't buy any of Dr. Northrup's books. She believes in using astrology and tarrot cards to diagnose illness. At one time, I respected her as a cutting edge doctor of alternative therapies. Now in my book she is nothing but a quack. She also also turned into a huckster of various products on her website. At one time, her website was a place where anyone could get free health information. Now she had redesigned it so that only people who subscribe to her newsletter can get quality health information. She has become a huge disappoinment. If you want quality alternative health information go to Dr. Andrew Weil or Dr. Ronald Hoffman's websites. They are the gold standard on alternative medicine therapies. And they don't use tarrot cards to diagnose illness.

Eek
Yes, I'm but another unfortunate soul who had to go through this book because of the wretched school. Let me try to be fair, the book started decent. I thought the writing style of the author was good, but nothing egregrious. I was interested in finding out about the narrator, of course, the story turns and introduced a mob of characters from parties and dreaded plots. It was plainly, and simply and tediously S-L-O-W. Reading this book is a torture. Okay, that was my first impression of the book. After finally reading it through, however, I guess I should say it was better than I thought. The story speeds up a little, still retaining the air of elusiveness. It is hard to grasp the theme of The Great Gatsby. But perhaps when you do it is worthwhile to you. Though I still feel unable to relate this story very well. But different people have different opinions.

AWESOME SPEAKERS
These speakers are incredibly amazing. Before this I had the jbl on stage, which were also incredibly good. But I wanted something that I can play without having to plug into a power outlet and would work on rechargable batteries. I didnt want one in which I would have to put in batteries myself(that is a pain) I did alot of research and read a bunch of reviews and im glad I purchased these speakers. Most of the reviews about the sound quality is true. The speakers have a very rich sound and good bass also, obviously not thumping bass for which you would need a huge subwoofer!! Although the bass im getting out of these speakers was unexpected. Without a doubt I would say that these speakers have the same sound quality as the jbl on stage, and are truly portable(can be played without a power outlet, I love that feature). The only downside is the remote which requires a line of sight. Its not a big deal for me. The main thing I was looking for was sound quality!

WARNING NOT AS PICTURED!
This company substitutes parts and gets away with it! You will not get the items that are photographed! Amazon will gladly refund your money, but when your 11 year old has been waiting for the skateboard to arrive, it is a difficult decision for him to send it back and wait longer to order another. We received the Flip deck that was photographed. All of the other parts were unacceptable. The trucks assembled on the skateboard are cheap silver, not black as photographed. The wheels are black and yellow, not black and red. Also, the hardware used to assemble the skateboard does not match on top. 4 of the bolts are black and 2 are red! So...this is a good deal if you do not care too much about what you will actually receive. If it matters, you should stick with a more reputable company.

WTF?!?!
I am PISSED I HAD to give this video a star, ICK!! I purchased this video, honestly, because I was being cheap! And when being cheap you know the saying, "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!" OMG this video has to be a damn JOKE! The instructor goes through each move really fast, spending only about LITERALLY 1 minute per move, and the audio quality is HORRIFIC so you barely understand what she is saying!!! I am TRULY a beginner, meaning I have never been on a pole until now and I would NOT recommend this pole to a beginner! The only move I learned was a knee spin (unsure of name.) This video does nothing but sit in my DVD player, and I only remember I have it when I turn on the DVD player to watch something else! I just paid the $32 to get a Jamilla Deville DVD so I could REALLY learn moves.. Do NOT buy or you will be disappointed!!! ICK!!!

HP Support SUCKS!!!!!!
I had difficulty with the wLAN aspect of the product so I called HP Support for help. Being a brand new IPAQ, I thought this would be easy. The support tech at first refused me service as they claimed that my warranty expired! As I had received the product that day, I was outraged. After complaining, they finally figured they had the wrong record.Once I got suppport, it was absolutely terrible! The automatic network indicator feature was not working properly. They had me hard reboot to connect. In addition, they suggested I do this every time I go to new hot spot. Hard reboot, erases all data and resets the iPAQ. Could not believe they even suggested this as a solution.I returned my PDA!!! Looking for a better product and service.

2 1/2 stars
The heroine in this book was just not that likable. She complained too much. Also, there was no passion in this story. It was like, 'Oh, there's a connection between these two people? Really? When did that develop?'The story just wasn't interesting as well. I never really understood the plot, partly because I was so bored reading this that I was only half paying attention. I liked Jared though in the love scenes; his dialogue is sexy. But the story was flat so I couldn't fully enjoy them. I only really enjoy books under Amanda Quick, sometimes some under Jayne Ann Krentz, but this one was just not as good as her usual books.

no...
I won't get into a negative review like I'd do for the Backstreet Boys or *N'Sync, but still, DHC isn't what you'd call a good punk band (in my opinion). I admit, I like Buck-O-Nine. I like Green Day. And believe it or not, I LOVE Rancid! I've even started wearing a Tim Armstrong-like mowhawk! But as for the Dance Hall Crashers, no. The song "Sticky" has the strangest lyrics ("Take the knife out of my back/clean the blade and put it back"). even a Slayer fan like me finds that weird, probably because it's being sung by a chick. The 2 girls definetly aren't fun to look at either. They're both extremely pail with dark red lipstick. Real female punk is Joan Jett, The Donnas, Patti Smith, you know, singing about rock & roll and boys and pissing and stuff and not songs about other girls with mental problems. To me, DHC's style has nothing to do with real punk. Now, since I like punk, even ska punk, I hope DHC sells well, but I wouldn't bother buying one of their albums.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!
THIS WAS MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: We are so pleased with this dehumidifier. We needed one to take down the humidity in our living area of our home that does not have a basement or crawl space. It has done an excellent job of taking down the humidity. It looks nice, can not even tell what it is. It has quiet operation (doesn't disturb TV watching or talking in the same room). It has a sizable bin for the water to collect but I am sure one would want the larger size unit if using in a basement. It is very easy to empty with no spill over and we feel very comfortable with the automatic shut off when it is full. It was packaged very well and delivered very quickly and the price from Amazon was a savings compared to other stores.I AM NOW CHANGING MY REVIEW!!! WE HAD PURCHASED TWO OF THESE AND AFTER ONE YEAR BOTH OF THEM WOULD NO LONGER DRAW MOISTURE OUT OF THE AIR. WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING (NO REPAIR) THAT COULD BE DONE. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!

The worst in every way . . .
Ok . . . I could complain so much about this group, but to not be too hard on them - I'll just give you a few reasons. They are, of coure, just a very cheap immatation of ZoeGirl except for the fact that they're sisters. Their music is horrible - I absolutely couldn't stand it!! Every single song - I hated it! And they don't at all dress very appropriatey - especially since they're SUPPOSED to be representing CHRISTIAN singers. Their pictures (which they have a lot of) are terrible - their poses and what's with the girl and her cell-phone all the time?? I wish CHRISTIAN singer -as they call themselves- wouldn't act this way. I'm glad to be rid of the CD - I don't know how anyone could stand it enough to write 5-star reviews about it! Well, I guess that's it . . . if I were you, I would look into someone like Andy Chrisman, 4Him, or Mark Harris and not waste your time on THIS stuff!

the book is great
"Around the World in Eighty Days" is about a man named Phileas Fogg who is challenged to go around the world in eighty days. Fogg is an English man who is very calm, generous, kind hearted, and precise. He is a man who never rushes, and always on track. Even though, the journey might seem impossible for him, but he is full of confident that he will make it in eighty days.The journey was full of excitements and problems. The main problem is that Mr. Fix suspects that Fogg is a bank robber and tries to stop him during the journey. Throughout the story, Mr. Fix tries to get help from Passé partout who treat him opium and alcohol. Which caused the relations between Fix and Passé partout went bad. However, there's a twist that Mr. Fix decided to help Fogg out after he rescued Passé partout from the Indians.I think the ending of the book is kind of peaceful and amusing. The journey sounds fun and adventurous, and I would wish to have this kind of experience some day.

Shadowheart
Well, where do I start with this review? This movie had great scenery, but the acting was bad. It was more a made for T.V. movie. The plot started out great, with a Preacher, and sweet son, and then came the bad guy, who took over the town. By the middle of the movie it became more cheesy than anything good. I would say this would qualify for a Hallmark movie, my husband hated this movie and made rude comments about it being cheesy throughout the whole thing. I thought it was okay, there was no sex, and only one curse word that I could remember, yet there was some violence, not bad considering the normal violent movies. Although James did seek revenge in this movie, it was just deserved. I hated the bad guy too, and I guess that means he played his part well. If you want to view this movie, just rent it, not worth seeing over. This movie was kind of preachy, but that's okay, it's just that this movie was actually really cheesy, but worth at least one viewing.

Styx/Reo Speedwagon..Still the best.
I was lucky enough to be at the Arch Allies show when it was taped. If you want to see two bands that truly enjoy what they do, then buy this dvd. Styx plays their hits and throws in some of their songs from the Brave New World cd, and even with the replacements, Gowen and Sucherman, they are still Styx. I didn't miss DDY at all. And with Glen Burtnik back with the band, it makes the show that much better. Another bonus is Chuck came to St. Louis to perform with the band. Reo Speedwagon keeps getting better every time I see them. Kevin Cronin still has the pipes to bring you back in time when Can't Fight This Feeling and other songs were on the radio. You can tell that Reo is humbled and proud to still be playing in front of thousands of old and new fans. The jam at the end with both bands is great. Being there and seeing it live was the coolest thing I ever saw. Get a piece of rock history and buy this dvd.

Here comes sunshine ...
Five reasons to buy this record: 1. The absolutely gorgeous 16-minute Here Comes Sunshine which opens the first disc. The gentle interplay between Garcia, Weir and Lesh reaches telepathic levels. 2. A lengthy, nervy Playing In The Band where Weir's rhythm guitar really shines. 3. A fast and furious Truckin' which emerges out of He's Gone -- the gearshift between them is one of my favourite segues. 4. A ghost-like Stella Blue, with Garcia in particularly tender voice. 5. Keith Godchaux. His piano-playing here is nothing short of superb: complex, jazzy, constantly shifting in mood (sounds like Keith Jarrett at times, and you know that's a good thing). Grateful Dead tours were like wine; some were always better, more highly sought after than others. As the last gig of 1973, one of the band's very best years, the first in the excellent Dick's Picks series proves to be vintage indeed.

sudden evolution
There is a lot of hard-core science in this book, far more than was probably necessary. I got the basic idea, but a lot of the exposition bogged me down. Still, the explanations for the biology seemed good, and were realistically included, usually in the context of a scientist explaining something to a politician. But since there were a lot of politicians involved, there was a lot of explaining that needed to be done. So, in addition to trying to figure out all the science, one also has to keep track all of the politicians. Between the two, this book was a little overloaded.The premise is a really interesting one, though. What if evolution isn't as gradual as we think? What if it can happen in great leaps. What are the consequences? How do we react as a civilization? What is the role of the government? What is the role of scientists? Greg Bear tackles all these questions ably while telling a compelling story.

stick to makin jelwery
O.K. first off Paul your settin white people back by at least 20 years. Your beats are probly the gayset thing I've ever heard. Sittin Sidewayz sounds like something from loony toones, your lyrics are just flat out gay. All these Houston people sound the same. Your first album did sh*t so you prply got your teeth from the middle of the mall. You can't be a chick magnet if you 've never has sex dude. If it was up to me the Swisha house would burn to the ground. How come REAL rappers like M.O.B. and Rockstar catch a break. Houston takes up way to much rap room with wasted talent, Paul thinks he so big cause he can make chopped N screwed up tracks, anyone can do it.This guy has to be the worst rapper from Houston I've heard. I'd rather hear mike jones say his name over again than listen to this piece of crap. He's king of the parkin lot cause he can't get bigger.The only thing he's sidewayz on is a d*ck.

Good Home Printer + Entry Level Photo Printer
Print quality is very good even at draft quality settings. At high quality, the print is perfect for resumes. Print speed is execellent for a home printer. Photo quality is also good. Resolution is clear and colors are pretty accurate. I do not plan on using this much as a photo printer given the high cost of consummables and the abundance of inexpensive online photo printshops.The negatives are as mentioned before, the consummables are expensive: the color inkwell is a single tri-color instead of individual ink wells. Also, the inkwells do not last long and there is not much of a market for cheap suppliers. The printer is rather large and flimsy. There is no USB cable included which is a really poor marketing decision on Canon's part. There's no output tray. I have a narrow leadge for my printer on my computer hutch so I must stand there and catch my printouts.

Swiveling Back Scrubber
I rarely write bad reviews as I generally like the things I buy. This Back Scrubber was a huge mistake. The swiveling head (which I thought would be a good thing) was just aggravating. It would not lie flat while I was trying to wash my back. Instead,it kept turning. The curved handle also made it difficult to get the sponge head to lay flat on my back. It wasn't just me, either. My husband had the same problems with it. Finally, after less than a week of use the head just broke off. Mayby it would work for someone else, but for us it just didn't. I replaced it with a regular long handled back brush and am much happier.

Heifetz Shows How it's Done
The last century produced many great concert violinists but the best of them all was Jascha Heifetz. Here he performs two works by Max Bruch and Henri Vieuxtemps' 5th Concerto. These recordings were made in the early 1960s long before Mr. Dolby's noise reduction inventions so you'll hear some tape hiss. However, this CD isn't about sound quality, it's about how well Mr. Heifetz plays the fiddle. His performance of Bruch's Concerto No. 1 in G-minor demonstrates why it should remain in the repertoire. It compares well with Brahms' violin concerto. No matter how difficult the passage, Heifetz tosses it off effortlessly while conveying all the passion and romanticism of the music. Bruch's Scottish Fantasy is a delight and the lesser known Vieuxtemps work is full of virtuosities that Heifetz surmounts with aplomb. Listen to these works by other violinists and Heifetz invites you to compare his performances with theirs. Heifetz always comes out on top. No contest.

Huh...
Wow, I really don't understand why so many people like this series. It was cliche and predictable; I could see the ending from a mile away! The characters were weak, and held back the plot of the story (Every freakin' character has unlimited magical powers! The lead female character is such a Mary Sue that I actually thought the author was joking. Also, why is every character unbelievabley gorgeous? That was a big pet peeve of mine while reading the series). I had to force myself to finish the books. BAD BAD BAD. If you are a reader of mature adult fantasy, do not subject yourself to these horrible books (no offense). One last thought...just because the story takes place in "hell" and has sex in it does not mean it is an "adult" story. Why did so many reviewers warn of offensive content? I felt like I was reading a children's book! Man, it feels good getting this off my chest.

Brilliant!
Hey for all those Mancow haters out there, do you hate freedom? Because Mancow is one of the last peeps willing to stand up and say what has to be said. Do you want the government limiting your free speech? I won't listen to the millions of Mancow detractors, they don't get what he's trying to do. They should just keep their opinions to themselves. I would love it if the government would make them shut up or they'd take their homes, right? I love how Mancow has acknowledged that he's always been comfortable with his lifestyle. He doesn't let narrow-minded or bigoted people get him down. He realized who he was early in life and said hey, "I make no apologies for who I am. This is the US of A and I'm free to love anyone I want, regardless of race, creed, religion or gender." So I salute you Mr. Mancow.

Aaaaah!
This movie was ridiculous. Even though I like Saif Ali Khan this movie was Ridiculous. Way too melodramatic. Even for Bollywood. Songs were flat and unmemorable. Costumes and hair were horrific. Who wrote this thing and why? And even more why did they produce it? And who edited it? So there you go. Stay away from this movie!

So thankful... Not anymore!
After trying multiple ways to stop our beloved dog from his almost constant barking, and none of them working, we finally gave in to this static collar. Not only is our family more at peace, but our dog is more peaceful and calm. He is definitely much happier since he isn't consumed with his barking. At first it was odd not having him bark, like he lost his voice, but it is so much better not having him bark at EVERYTHING!!! For anyone skeptical...give it a try. You will enjoy your dog so much more!UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW~ we are sending the bark collar back. For some reason, it has stopped working completely. When we replace the battery it works for a few days, then nothing. I wish it would've continued on with it's original success with our dog, as his barking is once more a disruption to his peace and calm. I'm very disappointed that it didn't work. Loved the results when it was functioning properly though! Off to find something else to help. Good luck to you all.

Not even one single mistake!!
I won't find one single mistake in this recording even If I listend to it two hundred times. It's perfect!! and you woun't find perfects recordings so easyly.After I heard Borodina here I found out that she is One of the best mezzo-sopranos I ever listened too. Her portrayal of Dalila is superb. Seductes not only Samson, but the listener too. The three arias Dalila sings are sang with such percfection that you won't want to listen to another version after this one.I don't like Jose Cura in general, but here I found out that he diserves to be rated as one of the better actors nowadays. You can feel his suffering as well as his love to Dalila. Exelent!!the rest of the cast are stupendous as well, Philippe Lafont, Lloyd, Silins. All of them do an exellent job.And finally, I MUST say something of Colin Davis, becouse here he shows why he is SIR Colin Davis. Sutility in the direction. Incredible job of Davis!!.Enjoy it, you won't regret this purchase.

Mark Blake is off his rocker
First off, to Mark Blake, the guy with the review at the beginning above...you are obviously not a metal fan. Piece of Mind "treads water"?????? Yeah right. That's the most innaccurate statements I've ever heard. Arguably every song on Piece of Mind is a ferocious rocker. Where Eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, Die with your Boots on, The Trooper, Quest for Fire...oh yeah, those songs tread water. Moron. This first Maiden album is great too. Different sound. DiAnno is much more raw, and with far less vocal range than Bruce (one of the best singers in all of metal.) But there are some truly classic tunes on this, and, as you'll find throughout the entire Maiden catalog, fantastic guitar. You need every Maiden album (except the Blaze stuff) if you're a true fan of metal. Hail the reunion!!!!!

An amateur attempt with good photos
Other than the photos, there isn't much here. It's very amateurish. Whole categories are missing -- there is barely a mention of "Fiesta" at all. Makes you think the publisher had an arrangement so as not to infringe on sales of their Fiesta books. There is no mention of Metlox. Also, while there is a price guide, it only lists the specific pieces that are shown in the photos, not all the pieces in the line. This is a major shortcoming. There should be some mention of pieces not shown. The book is also poorly organized, with ads from old magazines interspersed with original writing. It reminds me of an 8th grade book report. Spend your money elsewhere.

Everything I wanted and more
Absolutely wonderful adaptation. If you have to pick an Emma, this is by far the best.Emma is endearingly flawed. She is perfect in her imperfections. And she sometimes interferes where she shouldn't. However, her intentions are always just and good from her point of view. Kate Beckinsdale is perfect as Emma mainly because the other characters are perfectly cast. Don't even imagine anyone else as Mr. Knightly!!! Mark Strong is perfect as Mr. Knightly in the way that Colin Firth is perfect as Mr. Darcy. Enough said.See this movie. It's fun but also very touching as Emma discovers that the human heart is surprisingly difficult to understand.

Patricia Cornwell is a fraud
I was lead to believe this book would be worth a read, but having done so, I realize that my money was wasted. Ms. Cornwell is NOT a forensic scientist, as the jacket and reviews would have one believe. She worked in a forensic lab. Using that as a basis for schooling, I cannot wait until the janitor or plumber from the lab spews his solving of the infamous murders. She immediately starts the book off by stating that Sickert had sexual dysfunction. In no way does she prove this, its just her hunch. She then goes on a wild run about his art featuring death, etc. At the time he was an artist, an entire movement in the art world was rebelling against the Impressionists, though not one (Oscar Wilde included) was ever thought of as a murderer. This group actually studied death, murder and the like. Before you waste your money on this title, check into Patricia Cornwell's own history and her own involvement in the judicial system. Its good to know where an author spawns from.

This record is truly terrible.
At first glance this would appear to be a great cd if you were to judge by the list of contributors: The Who, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan,and Elvis Presley. But then you realize how grossly overrated they are, and how awful their tracks on this record are. The Who tracks are alright, if you like the Who. Highlights include the Neil Young track, and Aimee Mann's contribution,is her most moving ballad of her career. Other than that this Cd is worthless. The Elvis Presley track is pretty much an overrated outtake. The same goes for Bob Dylans tune, Shelter From the Storm. Paul McCartney has not written a good song since he left the Beatles. His Name Is Alive (who are they?) is very lame. The rest is nothing special either. You would be better to download the two decent songs and forget this thing exists.

Worth a buck
Am still on the trial subscription, but for 99 cents monthly this is a keeper. Contains a dozen or so new articles daily. Most are fairly comprehensive. Topics comprise a real "mixed bag" - mainly timely news stories, but also on occasion delving into financial commentary, media and celebrity news, and science and medicine. Most are from other sources - The NY Times being one example. A negative of the blog is that a few articles require clicking on a link to pull up the full story. Otherwise, the headline is all you see. Since the basic Kindle e-reader is "inept" at navigating the internet, these articles don't get read. However, the problem exists only with a small minority of the stories. Also, while many articles are quite objectively written, a few evidence a liberal slant. Doesn't bother me, but might some. (The 4-star rating takes into account the low 99 cent pricing.)

KEEP READING...STARTS OFF SLOW, PICKS UP SPEED FAST!!!!
I first pick this book up at the library and gave it a go. After 60 pages, I was saying, "What?" "Who?" I took it back, resolved not to read it again. A year later I bought this book used and tried again. All the characters and events begin to flesh out after page 200 (600+ pages), and from there you understand what's going on. The story is epic! There ain't much else to say. There's so much going on and so many points of view I see why this series is compared to Song of Fire and Ice. This book is detailed, you could take that as a "beware" or a "welcome". I was determined to see what was so great about this book. After learning of the major players and the supporting cast, then learning the history of the conflicts, I can say Erikson ranks up there with my top authors: Martin, Gemmell, Jordan, and Keyes.

Very bad superhero film
I was so amped to see this film; so much, that I decided to attend a drive-in to watch it. What a waste of time and money. This movie has to be the most horribly produced superhero pic in history, aside from it predecessor. Captain America desperately lacks action, action....action! This is a primary requirement for superheroes, especially ones that debut in the summer. Whoever gives this movie a four or five star rating was likely watching this film with sleeping masks on. I recently viewed Thor and it was much better viewing than this pic. We could have done without this film, altogether. It just felt rushed, rammed together for the Avengers movie. Sad outing for a well-loved hero. Doesn't deserve a sequel. Joe Johnston(The Rocketeer) was definitely the wrong director for this movie...he's known for idiotic blunders like this one. Make it a Redbox night for this one if you want to take a chance on it. I wish I had.

Works well until it fails
The 580EX II is prone to failure. With minimal use, mine failed in less than a year. At first it occasionally misfired, giving blank black pictures. Cleaning the contacts and sliding it on and off the camera seemed to help at first. Now it is just plain dead. I've missed numerous photo opportunities forever.Search the web and you'll find many forums devoted to the various ways this flash can die.Most disappointing is the short warranty. Canon gave me a repair estimate of $180. I paid $450 for the flash unit 10 months ago. This is not right.Other info: The flash was used exclusively on a Canon Eos 7D camera. Used for approximately 1,000 flash photos. With a total cost of $630 for the 580EX II, that comes to $.63 per flash actuation. Not exactly a fun way to enjoy my photography hobby.

Uh...
Well, this is one interesting album. If you love the film, or the music, or anything at all: STAY AWAY! Well, actually let me say, this is probably the only nice thing you'll hear me say about this album: THE JITTERBUG is amazing. I have actually been in productions of OZ that emulated this arrangement to great effect. Other than that, this album is horrible. Jewel yodels OVER THE RAINBOW. Jackson Brown...ugh...I myself have played the role of the Scarecrow...and he just degraded a role which I love so much. Roger Daltry...stick to THE WHO. Nathan Lane, actually not bad. Joel Grey, good Wizard, but liked him in the role better in WICKED. I would only suggest this album for one reason: THE JITTERBUG.

Super!!!
I don't often write reviews but I had to write about the Keurig B70. I have tried nearly every coffee maker I've seen. My most recent one was a Senseo. I was always spilling water - either filling the tank or after a cup was brewed. To use a travel mug, I had to brew into a regular mug and pour it into the travel mug. The Keurig B70 solves these problems. Almost all of my 16 oz. travel mugs fit under the spout. You can remove the tank to fill it but I leave it on the machine and fill it with a jug. I remove the K-cup right after brewing and there is no leakage. There is a big variety of coffees available or you can use your own (and adjust the strength of brew) using a separate adapter. I will buy another when this one finally quits.

Dont get my hopes too high.
I've been looking for a makeup train case for quite some time now, and i've been looking toward to the Sephora. But I guess you pay what you get. I came across this deal on amazon and i thought I came across a perfect deal. However, once i received my package... i was not as pleased as i hope i will be. The case was dirty at few area. the box that the product was delivered in looks like it was a return item. it was clearly that someone else before me opened the box. Also, the train case doors does not stay close unless it is lock. and the interior are poorly made, the interior are glued on and it can be ripped easily. pay for a highly price product sure makes a different!!!

Wow What A Waste of Money
Now don't get me wrong. I really do love Loveless. It's such a nice series and so pretty to look at. The story is well done, even if it cuts short of what the series could be. My main problem is the voice acting. The only reason this release of the series was made was due to the new English voice track. IT. IS. HORRIBLE. The actors clearly aren't putting effort into what they're doing. This isn't surprising since most of the actors chosen have only done hentai work previously. The writing wasn't atrocious as well. Most of the lines are taken directly from the sub track and not made to flow more naturally in English.Moral of the story:GO BUY LOVELESS THE COMPLETE COLLECTION. Don't waste your time or money on the English track, you'll only end up with tears of frustration and regret.

Good attempt but falls short
It's a study aid for the CCNA study guide. It lets you plan a study schedule and track the progress (big deal ) you can do that with any schedule program. It has tons of questions ( over 600 ?) some are the same as in the book and a lots of new ones. You have the usual two modes for testing, practice and timed. The practice mode does show you the correct answer but with no explanations. The timed mode gives you nothing. Only how many questions you get right. Will not show you the correct answers or even which ones you missed or answered correctly. No explanations at all. And of course my biggest objection as always with these types of test questions is the Inability to print the questions.

Sweet Deal, but not perfect!
This Amp. wire package is really good. I've seen sets not as nice or complete go for 3x's the cost paid here. The quality of the Amp. to speaker wire looks to be more than 12gage, and is very high quality. The fuse holder is great quality... I've seen one just like it for $10, just by its self. The RCA Patch cord is shielded really nicely and jacketed in very thick plastic. OMG.... The connectors!! This package has enough terminal connectors, spade Con., etc. for three Amp. jobs. It even has connector ends for the speaker wire! This package is such a Steal... shhhh, don't tell Amazon, They'll only raise the price. The only bad thing I can say about this package is the red power wire seems just slightly thinner than 4 Gage to my eyes, but all the other goodies in this kit more than make up for that. The guy that said the power wire was not long enough must be doing an install on a limosine or something! Great Value! Recommended.

Good. For a seven year old.
This book explains the customer service and overall business philosophies of The Walt Disney Company. The lessons and anecdotes it includes are very good, however the way they are presented is ridiculous. A tour guide who is not at all affliated with Disney takes a group of business people through the Magic Kingdom pointing out various interesting things and showing them just how great Disney is. Of course it all ends up with the stubborn, uptight last man coming around to see what a great company Disney is. How touching. This book was an incredibly easy read. Almost along the lines of; See Spot. See Spot run. Spot likes Disney. Anyone who would find this book useful should be insulted by the level at which it is written. It is worth borrowing for an afternoon quick read but definatly not worth buying.

Naqoyqatsi completes the trilogy
I'll keep my review brief as their are plenty of other opinions. I'm someone who saw the the first qatsi film in 1985 and was completely changed. I looked forward for years to the completion of this trilogy. The third film may disappoint you because it is so different visually. However, the soundtrack is a fitting end to the set. Yo-Yo Ma's cello is brilliant. When I replayed the soundtrack I instantly recallled images from the film. How much more can you ask? I can't rank this any higher or lower than the rest of the qatsi soundtracks. I read that Philip Glass intended this soundtrack to be more organic and warm to contrast with all the digital images of the film. I'm one of the biggest qatsi series fans and this is no letdown.

I've used all the pieces
And with the exception of the bulb syringe, they all worked well. I already had 2 Safety 1st Thermometers, so I was used to the way they worked. We used the dropper to feed our son expressed milk before he was 2 weeks old. I used it later to put homemade saline drops in his nose. I used the medicine spoon to give him benadryl after tossing that stupid flimsy plastic cup that comes with the bottle. I used the nail clippers to cut his nails. I actually cut his thumbs. Be careful with that. I'm glad it wasn't sharper. I do like the new ergonomic handle. This would make an excellent shower gift.

My experience with EyeBryten
I did not hate the product!!! I was sad to see that star so enumerated. I take various medications and I think , I know they caused the problem, though if I take in too much salt, I get that puffiness, but not like this past year. Currently I am off all medications, save one, and the problem is so much better, though it still exists to some extent, but NOT like it was. I feel the puffiness has receded due to the cessation of the medications ,but your product could have had some input, also. Hard to rate when you have more than one variable. I used other products, far more expensive, that did nothing. It is too bad a different terminology isn't used, versus, I hate it. That seems so harsh. I still have the product and even used some today. I feel badly that under the first star it says that I hate it. In fact, I don't. When off this medication, if ever, I may even order more, so it is hard to use the "star" rating. It may work very well with routine puffiness.

This Movie SUCKS!
This is the worst movie ever. Don't rent it! Save your money and yourself! The only good thing was the bugs. The acting is BAD, and WHY did they put Denise Richards in it...in any movie for that matter! What's with the whole Nazi thing? And are the nude scenes really necessary? The story is SO unrealistic! I suggest reading the book and watching the TV show! They're both way better. The movie doesn't even deserve one star!

Do I HAVE To Give It A Star?!
Yes, I mean that. I really hate to have to give this book ANY stars at all! My awesome friend thought that I should read it, and I did, and the whole time I was going through the pages, I kept reminding myself of my vow to finish it. I kept hoping that it would get better on the next page, and then on the next page, and then on the next page, BUT IT NEVER DID. The story was ridiculous, too far out there, and it was very poorly written. And there was even one part that was just downright OFFENSIVE, and anyone who knows me knows that I do NOT offend easily at all. I just... hated. this. book. So much. It took me eight weeks to read (literally), because it was that downright AWFUL. Alright, I'm done ranting now. Just, I highly recommend that no one else ever read this book. You will desperately cry and scream for the last [however long it takes you] of your life back. The end.

not worth the money
Get a more language specific set of CD's. This is rather boring, it teaches basically 85 words and phrases in each language. They have characters say the words for you, but pronunciation is hard to mimic because they did not actually video tape the people saying the words. They video taped them in English, and then dub the sound over. You cannot tell where your lips are supposed to be, where your tongue should be or anything helpful for correct pronunciation. You do not learn how to order anything or conduct business. You learn "Where is the bank?" and "Where are the suitcases?" From there you could probably substitute other vocabulary words, but there are no activities in which you are asked to do so. There are no sentence formation activities. The only thing this is good for is a tiny collection of vocabulary with generic pronunciation instruction. If you have never heard a language before, it gives you something at least.

Mediocre product
This product is in the lower price range of laser parking assist systems. You get what you pay for. It has an easy mount using three screws and a plate that the unit mounts onto. All three screws stripped when screwing them into a wood stud in my garage. Had to use my own wood screws. The two lasers have a very limited range of motion. I was unable to point either of them exactly where I wanted. I had to mount the unit so that one of the lasers would aim exacty where I wanted, and then for my other car I had to make the best of where it would point. Sideways motion is very limited. The sensor turns off to quickly when the cars are close to the unit. If I was to purchase again I would consider one of the other laser systems.

Awesome soundtracks
I love the film "Forrest Gump," and the music within. Lucky for us fans, there are several soundtrack CDs available. The instrumental one is awesome. I have always been a fan of Alan Silvestri's music ("Back to the Future," "Father of the Bride," "Fools Rush In," etc.). Included on that CD are all the instrumental pieces heard in the movie. If you've seen the movie often enough, you'll be able to recreate the scenes in your head while listening to the music -- Forrest running, the feather floating, Forrest talking to Jenny, Forrest in Vietnam. A lot of very powerful songs can be found on that CD. The other CDs (actually a 2-disk set) are a compilation of oldies used in the movies. Relive the eras of the 50s, 60s, and 70s with all these great songs. There are a few songs from the movie that are not on the soundtrack but it's still a good CD anyway. Both CD/sets are great for any fans of "Forrest" and I would highly recommend them (especially the intrumental soundtrack).

Gundams, Gundams, and more Gundams!!!
This game has just what I like. Alot of Gundams!! Over 70 models to be exact. You heard me over 70!!(and yes this includes Gundam Seed, G Gundam, and Gundam Wing). Now to the gameplay. yep you guessed it all the battles are in space. This game also features a bunch of storyline's and cutscenes from the anime including a Gundam story exclusive to the game called Thourouhbread.(I know I spelled that wrong). Anyways supurb graphics, hours of gameplay, and over 70 gundams is the reason why Gundam Encounter's in space is one of the best Mecha based games ever made!!

Lacks Viennese Echtlichkeit
Do buy this record. The arias are lovely; several of them (such as the delightful one by Tauber) are new to me and I'll bet to many of you as well. Hampson is in excellent voice, and his German is beautifully enunciated. All the expected gimicks of the operetta signer are there: the portamento, the half-voice, the wistful sighs.But . . . (Is't there always one?)Something's missing. If nothing else, call it a native feel for Viennese sensibility. Ten minutes with Tauber or Huesch or even Gedda leave this disk in the dust. The gimicks, as I called them, become attachments not true mannerisms such as we would expect from someone more truly at home in this Fach. (The late-lamented Schwarzkopf springs most readily to mind.)But don't let these partly negative words deter you from purchase. You'll have a good time with this CD.

I "Promise" You....One Of The Best
Def Leppard is back and they have not lost their touch. Every song on this album is great. One reason it's so good is that it is a complete departure from the Slang record. Slang was okay, but Euphoria sounds more like Leppard. When you hear Def Leppard, you want to hear catchy songs with a terrific beat and Euphoria is just that. Demolition Man gets the album off to a blistering start with loud guitar riffs and wonderful beat. Promises, which was number 1 on the rock charts for 3 weeks, is their best single since Pour Some Sugar On me. Back In Your Face is a great crowd-thumping song with a stadium beat. Paper Sun, the other single that was released, is the perfect rock song as Goodbye is the perfect ballad. If you love 80's rock or just love rock period, this album is the one for you. Be sure to pick it up.

Maybe my moths are picky.
I read pretty much every review on different kinds of moth traps. Most every brand had been reviewed glowingly by some and as disappointing by others. So, I purchased this one about a month ago. The moth problem in our house seemed to be under control, but we'd seen that before and then been greeted by polenta with moths (not my kind of recipe).The few moths that were left ignored the trap. Now I'm seeing a few more. Uh, oh. They too are ignoring the traps. I've seen them fly right by them! I guess different moths like different pheromones. Seriously though, I wish manufacturers would give more information as to why a product will work for some moth problems and not for others.Moths in the house. Check. Moths in the traps. None.Time to look for another kind.

Two Awesome Books!
We read The Giver with An Audience for Einstein. Both are about memories, and feature a young main character. While different in many ways, they both make you think about where society is headed, and how technology can be used for good or evil. The Giver has a sadder ending than An Audience for Einstein. But both are fascinating. I would say that the future in The Giver is darker and more disturbing than the closer future of An Audience for Einstein. At least things somewhat return to normal in An Audience for Einstein, while things remain bad in The Giver at the end. In that regard, An Audience for Einstein has a happier ending, especially for the main character. The Giver is a classic novel, while An Audience for Einstein is newer. Both have won awards. They can be read by anyone from teens to adults and will hold your interest. I am glad I read both of them.

Way too fast and vague explaination of dance moves
I agree with the others that Tina teaches a VERY fast. She also does not explain where to put your arms, legs in the some of the segments so you need to rewind, rewind, rewind to get it right. I do have 10 years of dance training and even I found it very hard to keep up! When I am going through the moves, I am thinking in the back of my mind....wait where does my leg go on this count? Where do my arms go? It is a bit tricky to get the hang of the moves. Dance choreography is NEVER taught as fast as Tina teaches it. I am sure her back up dancers went through a few sessions before the video aired to get it right. It's impossible to do it otherwise! This video is definately not for beginners. It is best for people who have some dance training, but even then it is a bit difficult to master because the teaching is unlike any dance class you have ever gone to! Way to fast, and vague explaination of dance moves...even for me.

Is this movie serious or what?
Mr. and Mrs. Smith has all the elements of a summer blockbuster. Pitt and Jolie are beautiful people with great chemistry and there is a lot of action. Unfortunately, there is no plot or no common sense to this movie. I didn't know how to take it. Is it supposed to be a realistic spy story? Is it a cartoonish shootout? I just don't know. How can a couple that love each other try and kill each other then make love in the next scene? Hard to care about the characters when the act in 2 total opposite directions. How can I take the plot seriously when Pitt and Jolie single handedly kill 100 armed killers by themselves? There is no bad guy, there is no plot. Just a lot of violence and confusion.

Do not buy Sharp Carousel Microwave!
The reason you see everything from 5 star to 1 star reviews for this microwave is that it all depends if the product is working or not. If this microwave works it is functional and relatively easy to use, but if it konks out -- you have a useless appliance. Sharp knows it is not worth repairing and in all likelihood another microwave will be purchased. Not even 9 months after buying this microwave it made a loud sound and no longer would heat. Personally I want something reliable and am tossing this microwave and moving onto another brand. I am having surgery in a month and will need a microwave and am at least thankful it did not stop functioning just after my surgery. But in all honesty it is not worth playing Russian roulette when you have other microwaves to choose from. Reliability is important to me. There are too many of these types of complaints about this Sharp microwave on Amazon. Why take a chance? Stay away from Sharp microwaves.

Piece of junk after one year...
Don't believe the reviews. This is a terrible machine. My first Kodak as I bought into the hype of cheap ink. Ink dries up, I'm guessing, as even with new cartridge it is way to light and not crisp. (I print everyday.) Scan feature on machine no longer works. People can't read my faxes. Anything else? Too late to return it and it was not worth the few months it was working okay. I'm not into disposable electronics. Kodak should be ashamed of itself.

What a Disappointment!!
Yikes!! What a supreme disappointment this was!!Though I'm a great fan of all things Hitchcockian, I'm afraid Sir Alfred Hitchcock has steadily gone down hill since the wonderful "The Manxman."What was Sir Alfred Hitchcock thinking when he made this dreck??!!Additionally, I would also have appreciated a director's commentary with this DVD. Maybe it would have answered so many lingering questions I have - such as: "What is with that foggy green light in that one scene?" I have heard Hitch doesn't believe in electronically recording his thoughts in such a commentary, but maybe if we pester him he will come around!!Always the optimist, I hope his next film is better!!

How To Hug A Porcupine: Dealing With Toxic & Difficult to L
How To Hug a Porcupine should be read by every person who is in or has been in a toxic relationship. I found this book to be one of the most inspiring self-help books I have ever read. I found it difficult to read at times, because I felt I was reliving my past. Dr. Lund starts out with a very detailed Table of Contents, outlining every chapter. There are numberous case studies, I appreciated the fact that they didn't always work out like the textbook said they should. There are quizzes to take. Specific step-by-step directions on how to help you become a more healthy person despite the porcupines in your life. Dr. Lund helps you learn how to use "armored gloves and other tools" in dealing with any toxic person - young, old, spouse, child. Dr. Lund uses similies/medaphors in describing behaviors. I have found many useful ideas in helping me become a more healthy person. This book is awesome, I highly recommend it!

Johnstown Flood
Johnstown Flood. David McCullough. 1967. 304 Pages.This was a good book. I read it as a prelude to David McCullough's lecture on 21SEP2006 in Scranton. The book is 70% social history (it was written in 1967!). It is well written and the photos are interesting. About 15% is prelude to disaster, setting the scene. About 20% is post disaster, recovery. Some of that is quite interesting. Apparently the immigrant group moving in and taking cheap labor jobs were the Hungarians (Hunkies). Well, during the recovery there were reports in the press (vilifications really) of roving bands of looting, dead desecrating, raping, killing etc all done by these Hungarians. Except they were not called Hungarians, they were labeled the Huns. Though the drawings of them were stereotypical Hungarians with their big mustaches etc. The bulk then is on the disaster ... the big raging wall of water which passed through Johnstown in 10 minutes flat.

Wast of time
Worst movie I've seen yet!!!!!!!!!!!!! The detectives are so stupid that I hardly paid attention to any of them. The female cope deserves to be hanged, her ex-husband should have been the one to die, and the good cope, well he's just too good for words because he gets killed. I was hoping that the writing would have been better. I man, this guy started killing in the 70s and well into the mid 90s. However, the movie does not tell you that. And, what's up with the blond girl and the her whacked out family. Weird brother and ever weider guy that wore the dark glasses. Not to mention the black guy and the blond guy. Where they the serial killer or killers. This movie did not leave any answers but generated many questions. I would not waste my money on buying the DVD.

THIS IS THE DEATH OF MIGHT AND MAGIC!!
Why Jon Van Caneghem would put his name to this is anybody's guess. The graphics were created by 3rd graders... I'm not kidding! What can you say about a game that even screws up the fonts? How about the black ocean with clipping errors... The characters are just plain ugly. It is obivious that the graphics, level design, and that incredible opening cinematic couldn't have been created by any real game company. I was struck dumb by how incredibly BAD this product is. Even the install program glitches. The ONLY thing New World Computing did right on this game was the box cover. Very nice box cover.Now for the other reviews on this site that gave this title a 5 star rating: they were certainly planted hoping some fools would like the box cover and remember the quality of gameplay in years past and buy this title... my advice, wait for more real reviews before you waste your money. What a [bad] effort!

Cool game!
This is a COOL game! I don't like it on multi-player mode, except for the bathroom level. The mission mode is sweet. I like the bathroom the best. The weapons are awesome, the graphics are pretty good,the camera angle is ok, except for when you turn a corner. The camera takes a couple of seconds to turn to your back- the normal camera view- so while you are waiting for that, you are getting shot, and you can't fire back, because you can't see, because the camera is facing the wrong way. All in all, a pretty good game. Buy it! The graphics-I like. There is really no blood or anything. Just that when you get hit by a bulllet, little pieces of plastic fly off you-just like real plastic would. Cool game! Buy it!

A Decent Effort
Overall this game shocked me. When you hear of a poker game you kind of think it's going to be lame. All my friends kept saying how good this game is. It turned out this game is really good. There's 12 different types of poker here with multiple competitions you can compete in. The more money you have the bigger tournaments you can enter. The character custimazation is pretty deep. You can do everything from adjusting his ears to how big his feet are. The online play is a very nice addition. Playing against other people with the eyetoy is very fun. The game also only cost $20.00. That's why I gave this game such a good rating. It's fun and affordable. If your not a poker fan you should still give this a try. I wasn't a poker fan but after playing this game I am. It actually teaches you how to play the games and overall you'll become a better poker player.

A stellar sequel, that is as good as the original
Is this a great sequel? Yes. Is this as underrated as the first? Yes. Is this as good as the first? In some instances, but not fully. I think they might have weakened the game's difficulty in certain areas, and in other areas, increased it, making the game a bit of a turn-off, but not unplayable. I do like the fact that the game is rather balanced in the choices of characters you have. My only problem: why not have them all accessible from the start? Also, it kind of makes certain characters like Rocky forgettable due to the usefulness of everyone else. Still, I would definitely pick this game up for sequel and action purposes. Just, not before you play the first one...

Meh...
I got this because I was tired of paying all of that money for razor blades. So, my mom and I did a little research and chose this product. It hurt a little at first, but after a little time, it was no big deal. However, this cut my hair instead of pulling it out. I ended up with stubble all over the place and had to shave anyway. I also had a horrible time using this on my knees as it literally ate up and cut the skin on them. After using it for 4 months, I gave it to my mom and told her she was more than welcome to use it. And of course she does, with perfect results. (PARENTS!!!) So, I guess it really depends what you 'hair type' is. Mine grows back fast and is really thick. My moms grows back slower and is really fine. But for me, this was a waste of money.

This really works.
I never would have thought that a book would help me quit smoking, but it did. I just happened upon this book by accident. I had been thinking about quitting, but was having a hard time making myself actually do it. So, I thought I would go online and look for a "how to" book. I happened upon this book and read the reviews and gave it a try. I got the book and began reading it immediately. Then I got sick with bronchitis and the book made even more sense to me. So, I just stopped smoking 3 weeks ago. I never suffered any withdrawal symptoms. I can't begin to describe how liberating it is to be a non-smoker. It's unbelivable! Thank you Allen Carr.

Easy to use bike computer
The Planet Bike Protege 9.0 bike computer is an excellent choice for a simple, easy to use and reasonably accurate bike computer.It is very easy to install by following the instructions. Read the instructions thoroughly and understand how it works before you install it. Use the measured method rather than the tire size to set up the speedometer. It is more accurate. My computer is accurate to 25 feet for a measured mile. With some tweaking, I will be able to fix thisAs for the other complaints I have read about this computer, I disagree. The temperature is reasonably accurate in the shade. I have never seen a thermometer that didn't read high in direct sunlight.You have to hold the button for 2 seconds before the data is zeroed out. I have had no problem losing data during a ride as I shift from screen to screen. Again. if you understand how this computer works it will do the job for you.I highly recommend this bike computer.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Prince Caspian has everything you want in a movie. Action, drama, suspence and even an unexpected romance. But the thing that really blew me away was the originality.It wasn't The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe all over again as most sequels are. It is so much more intense and in-depth than the first one. The feeling, aroma andpresence is a whole new concept. Even the majority of the charaters we've never seen before (with the exception of the Pevensie children, Aslan, Hunger, Thirst,and yes, the White Witch). Now I know the producers didn't write the original story, but isn't that the delimna of all modern age movies? C.S. Lewis deserves much ofcredit for this masterful production as he was the one who started the legendary chronicle. Prince Caspian was definatly the best movie of it's time and I give itfive stars as it deserves. After all isn't Narnia supposed to be magical?

Only Buy If You Want Trash!
Simply put, this is trash. It did not work. Plug in play failed. Installed the drivers and it failed. I'm told drivers are up to date, but Windows is reporting an error. Tried in multiple computers to no avail. A lot of reviews are reporting that this item works. A lot say otherwise...This is a gamble to buy. I'm really disappointed. There isn't any support out there. Do you want to roll the dice? I did and I lost.

Back on the right track
Before Royal Rumble 2000, I was begining to loose interest in the WWF. Throughout most of 99, the ppv's were pretty boring and preditable. The majority of Royal Rumble was neither boring or predictable. The introduction of Tazz was a great way to start the event. The swimsuit contest was very entertaining and the table match was spectacular. The WWF title match lived up to all of the hype beforehand. It was possibly the most hardcore match that has ever take place in the WWF. The use of thumb tacks and barbed wire is more recognised in an ECW ring. The rumble itself was a bit disappointing. After great rumbles from 97 and 98 it was a bit of a let down. never the less, it did not spoil a great PPV which renewed my interest in wrestling.

Worst Program
Do not buy this program. Worst I have ever Bought. Even with the updates it still has problems. Now they want you to buy their newer version. HAve been on with tech support for multiple problems and my computer is well above the spec's they say is needed. Even went out and spent $300.00 in upgrades per their suggestion. Had for 4 months and still can not compile a DVD or bring video in. By looking at the reviews, think they did not get the bug's out before marketing. Seems we all paid for R&D for the future version (9) or maybe ver 9 users are paying R&D for the future 10 release when it comes out. Tech support has canned answers, must be on a sheet of paper. Pinnacle should make amends to all Studio 8 users on this....

Rio Grande Mud
I almost passed on buying this CD due to the negative reviews I read. However, I saw a great sale and bought it anyway in June of 2012. I am glad I did. My copy sounds great for such an old recording. The songs are just how I remembered them on vinyl. And I think this is the best Album ZZ top ever made. Here is my take. If you see it for a good price, go for it. Maybe there are different versions made. My CD recording is just fine. I am so happy with this CD. It is a must if you are a ZZ Top fan.

I love the smell! Easy to use liquid lotion
This product has a woodsy/natural smell to it. It is not overbearing but subtle and gentle. I love the smell of shea butter and vanilla/cinnamon type scents, this fits right in. I have to say my mother thought it was rather strong, but not to me. I like the spray on. The consistency of the spray is kind of like a pump hair spray except not sticky at all. Just watery and smooth almost like liquid powder, but less powdery. It rubs in really well and easily. I bought this when I was pregnant and couldn't reach everywhere (feet/legs/back) this was a life saver! I still had to rub it in, but it rubs in much easier than most other lotions and does not leave stickiness behind, and really moisturizes the skin. I just used my towel or rubbed my foot on my leg haha. You can also put it on wet or dry. I say this because one product I was looking at said you have to use it while you are still wet, not the case with this lotion.

The Giver Review
The Giver is a pretty good book. It had exciting parts in it. It is about a community that has no color or pain. Everyone is equal there except the Giver and Jonas. They have to experience pain and suffering. Then one day they think of a good plan. Jonas leaves so that the community can experience the pain and memories. Jonas found out what they did when people got releast. He was horrified when he found out that they were killed with a poision. He didn't want that to happen to the baby that lived with him till it wouldn't cry during the night. So when Jonas left the community, he took the baby with him. He pedalled for days and days. Sometimes he had to hide from jet-planes that flew overhead looking for him. He pedalled till it snowed and finally reached a place called Elsewhere where no one ever went to before. The ending kind of leaves you hanging. But it is still a good book.

I love Meera!
I LOVE the instructor. She is lovely . . . very calming with an extraordinary voice. The DVD is beautifully made and very well rounded. I fell in love with integral yoga after taking a class with my sister, and this is the first and only integral yoga DVD I've found. The asanas follow the class almost exactly. I wouldn't have minded a few more yoga poses but did enjoy the focus on the other aspects of the practice as well. As I said, this DVD is very well rounded. I look forward to more by Meera.

Home and Dry!
I love the Pet Shop Boys. They're sassy and provide an eclectic sound to today's music that seems long forgotten. I love Home and Dry, Birthday Boy, and other songs on this compact disc. I found this of all places in the Pathmark bargain bin of music. It doesn't belong there. The music today can't compare to what we experienced in the 1980s with groups like the Pet Shop Boys and the British invasion. Still, I'm glad they're making even now. When I hear Home and Dry, I keep thinking of the families and friends of the Pan Am 103 flight who was expected to pick them up at JFK airport. Even after all these years, that day is quite haunting because it was so preventable. I'm glad that the Pet Shop Boys are still around making music for us who grew up in the 1980s with MTV bursting on the stage changing television forever. Now MTV is nothing more than the reality based channel. Music is not shown on it if ever. The Pet Shop Boys are still around making music and that's fine with me.

HELP!
I purchased the HD-XA2 from Best Buy 2 days ago. Couldn't wait to get home and hook it up to my Samsung 50 inch DLP t.v.. I had to use a HDMI-DVI monster cable because the t.v. had no HDMI input . To my dismay the HD-XA2 couldn't output the HD DVD'S and SD DVD"S to 1080i through the HDMI-DVI cable. It was only capable of outputing 720P. But it was able to output HD DVD"S signal at 1080i through the component output. I was sad to discover that sd dvd'd were unable to transmit 1080i through the component output only 480p. I contacted Toshiba about this problem and the tech person had no answers for me. The picture is beautiful through the component output and it doesn't look bad at all through hdmi 720p.

DO NOT buy this product-unless you like coffee at midnight!
I have to say I really did enjoy the Brewstation until the inevitable happened. As many other have said, the gremlins showed up in the middle of the night and turned on my coffeemaker! The clock-programmer really is a problem! I made sure to program it correctly and at odd hours, it would start brewing! I emailed Hamilton Beach, I recieved one reply asking for my address, model# and series#. I sent them the info and never heard from them again! I finally broke down and called them. I was told to cut off the plug and send a 5.00 check for shipping costs. I find that annoying! Why should I have to pay any more money for a defective product? The idea of the Brewstation is great, the final product however, a dud.
