Hip-Hop meets India
|
I suppose when i got this i thought there would be more traditional dance mixed in but it is mainly modern street dancing. It reminded me of a music video. I thought i would try different kinds of dance videos to spice up my workout routine. I have an Island girl video and i love it. But this one is not for the faint of heart. If you have knee problems or back or neck problems i would advise you against buying this. She does alot of flayling about that gave me a headache. I felt silly doing most of these moves. Especially the face excersises. She goes to fast and i felt like i was just jumping around most of the time. I also disliked the naration tract over the video. The extra preformance you can watch looks like sleepovers i had when i was a kid and was fooling around with my friends.

"How Do I Live" is an Evil Song
|
The movie "Con Air" is definitely worth your time. But that horrendous song at the end ruins everything. Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) has ended his parole and he's going to fly back to his wife and daughter. The plane is full of the country's most notorious criminals and of course they seize the plane. Cyrus the Virus (John Malkovich) asked the stewardess what the in-flight movie was going to be and whined like a little girl when the madness broke out. "Funny fool, ain't you?" Snicker. Diamond Dog (Ving Rhames), Johnny 23 (Danny Trejo) and a psycho (Steve Buscemi) are also on the plane. The plane eventually crashes in Las Vegas and only one inmate gets lucky. The psycho looked sick according to a little girl. Cameron Poe's accent was borderline ridiculous, and John Cusack destroyed a nice car. Destruction and mayhem all rolled in one.

Like slurping diarrhea
|
Some more nasty cinematic spewage from Kaufman and the Troma squad. If you like eating your own excrement(who doesn't?), you'll love this film.The Tales quickly unfold with irrefutable astuteness and profound underlying themes. Of course I'm talking about naked chicks. Seriously, for the first 45 minutes there are more breasts served up than at Chic-Fil-A. Strippers giving up the goods, how romantic. It does get kinda hard to sit through.Then thankfully the gore and madness start to kick in, Troma style. There's some dazzling raunchy bravado, like when everybody's favorite 75lb serpent shlong goes backdoor on the lovely young lass. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't totally captivated.This is some good clean fun. Well, not really clean. If you're a fan of Troma, you oughtta love it. If you're a fan of the mass media wicked corporation mind control ignorant spoonfed monopolizing enterprising cinematic sludge conglomerate, [...]

Mary, Bloody, Mary: A young Royals Book By Carolyn Meyer
|
This book was a very exciting piece of literature. Mary endures so much pain during this story and survives. Meyer had a way about connecting the feelings of reader with the experiences of the character. The author did a great job with keeping the story interesting and busy. I was so tuned in to the book I didn't put it down until I was finished. The story told the life of The princess Mary of Whales. She had a the childhood fantasy life until she reached 10 years old. Then her world took a devastating changed and she was left with out love of her parents,isolated to a castle ,and stripped of her title. She wasn't allowed to see her mother or even her from her. Her father had gone crazy and remarried a women she was conviced was a witch. After all that she was turned into a slave for her new step mom and her half sister in her own home. Find out how she made it with her head attached to her neck!

BUYER BEWARE!! Refund Policy is a rip off
|
I bought three bottles of Thyro-Pet on a 3 for 2 price deal. I used 2 bottles giving the highest dosage. Had my dog tested and the results came back as low as when he was first diagnosed and before he was on any medication. Obviously the stuff didn't work at all. I sent the test results and TWO bottles back to the company. They only gave me a refund for ONE bottle. They refuse to refund the second bottle claiming I got that one for free. I fulfilled their return requirements but they still won't give me the rest of my money back. After many emails and phone calls I gave up because you can't get past the switchboard or the person on the computer. DON'T BUY FROM NATIVE REMEDIES! They will rip you off.

Why do they keep doing this?
|
What's funny is that Confessions is actually a great album. I listen to it just about everyday. It has a good, smooth r&b; feel to it. Every track has its own individual sound. I love it. But after spending about $16.00 on the original release, why on earth would I go out and buy the same album again just for three extra tracks. It really is pointless if you think about it. It's just a sneaky way for record labels to get more money...and it really urks me. This is why so many teenagers today download music--because of silly BS like this. Seriously. Why would I pay $16 for the same CD twice?But at the same time, if you haven't purchased the original release, I would recommend buying this one instead--because atleast it has a few extra tracks to groove to. But if you already have 1 copy, there's no use in buying this one. The extra tracks really aren't that great to begin with.

Fast and easy, but DOUBLE the recipe!
|
Wanna try something different? By different, I mean I've never made "fried pasta" until I made this. Really, really good, but when I first tried this, it was for 4 oz. of pasta! Linguine is what I used, and found that to be too little, so I DOUBLED the recipe, 2 envelopes with 8oz. of Linguine or Fettuccine.Use the best pasta you can find, and tell your friends you just have to keep the secret in the family! Simple? Heat a couple TBSP Olive Oil in a big skillet, throw in the pasta (drained AND rinsed), saute a couple minutes, pour in the powder and stir until it's evenly mixed! You don't need to add anything else! Sure glad I discovered this!!

OK, GOOD, BUT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE.....
|
I was entertained and educated. In light of Anthrax, this book is almost required reading. There was one error in judgement in my opinion. Cook shouldn't have divulged the deal made between the two gangs. That scene could have been left out completely, and I would have been in the dark with regard to the conclusion. Another mistake, & really this isn't too many mistakes, is the last sentence. "But don't worry; I'll explain it later." That sentence just grated. I hated it. I guess it's the "don't worry."Aside from those minor flaws, I was reading late into the night & thoroughly enjoying it.

Waste of time!
|
I have read other books by Christina Dodd & liked them. Which is why I read this one. What a disappointment! Story plot was o.k. But character development was poor. I like reading stories where I like the characters, at least like them at some point in the story & wish they'll be happy in the end. But this story was so boring, dragging on that I couldn't care less what happened in the end. Only because of my silly compulsion to finish every book I start, I ended up wasting a few hours of my time on this book. BTW, I did like the "Rules of engagement" in the same series very much! I liked Hannah Settrington in that story, which is why I got this book. My humble opinion is that Avoid reading this book unless you've nothing better to do.

Absolutely brilliant. One of my favorite albums, period.
|
FIla Brazillia have not put out a bad album. This is especially "not a bad album." Amazing complexity, layers of sounds, rhythms ranging from house to world. Belongs in any serious dance-music-lover's collection. Or jazz. Or funk. Or whatever. A must-have. If you don't own any albums by this incredible outfit, I suggest you start with OLD CODES NEW CHAOS. You will NOT be dissapointed. You may want to visit their label's site. Drop them a line and demand that Fila play here in the states more often!

Bring back "The Kid"
|
After "Lie To Me", I thought I would buy anything this artist put out. 3 albums later, I'm regretting that decision. It started with this title. Did that trip to Memphis make him think he's Al Green? Did his guitar fall down and it can't get up? Is he only a 6 string stud in the studio with a lot of help from the engineers and timed tracking? I honestly don't get it. As utterly IMPRESSIVE and AMAZING as "Lie" was, subsequent releases have only put me to sleep. Forced blue-eyed soul ain't doing it for me. Stax/Volt is out of business and the Staple Singers aren't holding auditions. I don't want to be unkind because anyone who can cut the very best version of "Matchbox" will always have a home in my heart but in the words of the immortal Frank Zappa, "Shut Up and Play Your Guitar".

Excellent Playing but....
|
I have liked almost everything I have heard from BH and the playing on this one is still excellent. But way too much of this is just not bluegrass, its radio friendly country. Very commercial. Tears Fell on Missouri for example sounds like a standard breakup/heartbreak song from Clint Black or Garth Brooks - not bluegrass. I found myself listening for the great playing and wishing the singer would just shut up. If they were singing some good bluegrass, I wouldn't have that problem. The one instrumental is good, but I wish they would have given alot more room for some hot playing instead of the smooth dull singing. Some people have rated this high and like this one, but not me - I sold mine. Listen to the samples. If you like those, it would be a fairly safe bet you would like the cd. If not, try almost any other BH release.

Drives Bobo Wild!!!
|
Who is this Keith Jarrett guy? I am so thankful to the fine folks at ECM for releasing this 2-cd set of this keyboard wizzard with the footstomps and wild banshee grunting. This 2-cd set nearly takes up 160 minutes of some mighty fine piano work (and some fairly annoying clavicle playing) enhanced with some of the most bizarre, madcap stomping and moaning I have ever heard. The moans this Keith Jarrett character makes when digging for inspiration drives my wife's annoying tabby (Bobo!)absolutely bonkers. In truth, the grunting sounds very much like a cat being tortured and I think somehow Bobo is disturbed by this. I have only seen his hair stand up on end once or twice before, but everytime Keith grunts, electroshocko! Bobo runs wild. I loooooove it and would highly recommend this to folks who dig piano and enjoy watching cats run wild (and I do mean wild). What a combo!!! ECM = Electro Cat Motion!!!

Bought this Onkyo to pair up with my new Direct H20 HD dvr
|
I have been disappointed by this receiver. Nothing but probems from the first day. Its set up in my bedroom so I have it hooked up as a 2.1 (2 front and 1 subwoofer). When you turn on the unit you hear hissing noises out of the speakers. It drives you bananas especially when its not getting a signal. Secondly everytime I have a channel or when the broadcast goes from HD to SD, I head a low frequency thump. Even with the volume turned down its prononced. And before I get any replies about checking for cross wires, the input signal is coax and the wires for the speaker hookup is clean, no crossing. And LAST straw, the center speaker started going berserk, static noise cycling back and forth. Everytime it cycled I can see the voltage jumping on my monster power conditioner. I am glad it the receiver was inexpensive so when I get a new one I can toss it out the window. I bought the unit in Aug 2006.

Great Kdrama, but poor quality dvd disks
|
This was the first ever Kdrama I have ever watched (back in 2004) and I have been watching them ever since. I really liked the chemistry between these two actors. I am giving it 5 stars because I really liked the show, but the DVD's I received were poor. 16+ hours of shows smashed onto two DVD's. The chapter breaks didn't match the show beginning and endings. The English subtitles were as poorly translated as I have ever seen. Complete misuse of pronouns. Wrong translations - "of course", was "cos". They were constantly mixing the gender references - he instead of she, grandson instead of granddaughter. There were was also 30 minute section which the English subtitles did not work. The subtitles were good enough to follow the story line, but that is it. The unfortunate part is you get a lot of this poor DVD production of Kdramas, because so much of it comes out of China. You have to learn to set your expectations low and hope to be surprised.

You HAVE to rent this one!
|
Ok, I wanted to watch a movie with my girls that would be sweet, romantic but also clean. That is HARD to find. And they hate "old movies". I read the reviews of this and gave it a shot. We were not disappointed. Yes, it is a little low-budget, but that is not distracting. It still has good actors, even if a few small rolls are not oscar-worthy. When it was over, my girls just could NOT stop raving. They claim it is the best movie they have ever seen. A bit of a stretch, for sure, but we LOVED it. Really really darling. And yes, totally clean. HURRAH!!

Oklahoma OK!
|
I have a particular weakness for Hugh Jackman, I must admit, as well as a particular weakness for anything Rogers & Hammerstein. I even love their craptastic Cinderella, although Brandi's version is infinitely better than the tired old TV version I saw once. Anyway, suffice to say that I luuuuuurved this version. I read a review that sometimes Curly can come off as "smarmy" but Hugh Jackman pulls it off amazingly well. It's true. All the characters in the musical are really surprisingly deep and it takes some prowess to pull them off. So what if they're Brits and Aussies pretending to be Oklahoma...uh...ians? They were awesome and I loved it. If you're used to the original version, this one might be a bit of a shocker. I don't remember the first one being quite so gritty, but it made sense to do it that way. Ado Annie is more hussy-ish and Jud is REALLY creepy. Oh, and bonus? Curly spends a good deal of Act II shirtless. Mmmm. Shirtless Jack. Mmmm.

Not Worth Reading
|
If you have not seen the movie take my advice. See the movie and throw out the book. I have read about four chapters of this book and it is slow and whiny. I now understand why Julia Child did not like this author's blog. FIND A BETTER WAY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF OTHER THAN WITH EXPLETIVES! Good grief, her use of the four letter word is exhausting. That smacks of dullness of mind. She had a great premise and ruined it by her continual use of profanity and whining. A very disappointing book. This is the first time I have ever chosen a movie over the book. The movie is witty and clever and makes you feel happy. Not this book. If you are looking for a good beach book to read, leave this book in the sand.

A Fair Mystery
|
Since this was Denise Hamilton's first novel I think she did pretty well. Her character Eve Diamond was likeable and interesting. She wasn't perfect and she did do plenty of dumb things like getting drugged, losing evidence and getting romantically involved with someone she went to interview. But come on, she was a reporter not a dectective. Having the main character less then perfect made for a more interesting book. I liked the story. There isn't a lot known about the "Parachute Kids" and I found it quite educational. The murder mystery itself was done well. At least, I didn't come close to guessing who done it and was even surprised at who did. That alone made it worth reading. All in all it was a good book and I hope the author continues with a few more Eve Diamond mysteries.

Something to Think About
|
The other reviews I see here are extremely varied in the way folks interpreted this book. There are lots of answers that I don't know to the questions the other reviews raised, but one thing I would encourage everyone to do is look up and read Matthew 6:15. As Jesus Himself taught us how to pray, He also explained forgiveness (SEE at the end): "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. FOR IF YE FORGIVE MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU: BUT IF YE FORGIVE NOT MEN THEIR TRESPASSES, NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES."(Matt. 6:9-15, KJV) Just something to remember . . .

Smells like strong cinnamon
|
I read the good reviews about this cologne and decided to get it for my husband as a gift. I never smelled the scent, so I was taking a chance. After wearing it, he smelled like sweet cooking spice. We thought maybe the smell would die down, so he went to work with it on. He said that people kept asking who was wearing cinnamon scented cologne while he was there. He knew it was him, but he didn't say anything...LOL! I don't like it because of the constant smell of cinnamon spice which reminds me of strong Big Red gum. I kept getting queasy, so we just decided to throw it away. Maybe his body chemistry just didn't go with it. Overall, If you like the smell of pumpkin pies on your skin, then I would suggest this. If not, do not buy this scent. And from now on when it comes to scents, I will have to sniff before buying.

Amazing!
|
It was the most wonderful movie I could ever hope for! My friend recommended it to me, and I was very reluctant to see it. I'm not a big fan of anime. I always thought the animation was choppy and storylines bland. This completely changed my mind. Princess Mononoke is the best movie I have ever seen, anime or not!( I've seen almost every movie from Terminator to Sense and Sensiblity) I loved how Miyazaki never created a bad guy. The most obvious one has good motives, and by the end of the movie, you're left wondering if this was a movie or a play of real-life relationships. It didn't have the classic good vs.evil plot we've all seen with every movie. It displays real friendships and issues. Fantasy fan or hard-core realist, you'll love this movie!

HELLLOOOOOO

O.K. let me get this straight STOP DISSIN' CHRISTINA! This girl has a vioce and nothing can stop it now! After winning a Grammy for Best New Artist she has one long, succesful career up ahead. The problem with the C.D., The first song "Genie in a bottle" is provocative. And teaches young girls to not 'wait' for marriage, but to wait until the right person comes along. The other song "When you put your hands on me" well, that kind of explains it! But the other songs I just love! She is a great girl and deserves all sorts of credit. So what if she didn't write her own songs! I bet if you were busy like her you wouldn't be able to write #1 hits! And I don't think she's a Mariah (I love her too!) copy-cat. New talent has got to come out some-time! And besides if she was a Mariah duplicate she would have come out WAY earlier! Please click below if this review has helped you click below!

Noisy cover
|
The cover looks and works fine but it was terribly noisy from the first. It sounded like a can of washers was rattling around in the back and nothing I could do would stop it. I really could not find the cause for several months of the winter but this spring I lay in the back and kept pounding and twisting and pulling until at last I thought I had it. The joints between the bows and the side brackets would work up and down and make the noise. I took it all apart and removed the bows, then pulled the U clips off the ends. I tapped a 6-32 hole in both sides of each bracket and installed small set screws. I then put it all back together and tightened up the set screws until there was no movement between the bows and side rails. This fixed the noise but it should not have been there in the first place. Extang needs to do a little more engineering. If you do not want a rattling truck and don't want to make the repair. I would not buy this cover.

VERY disappointing
|
I've had this little Dyson for a few months now. The short battery life is not my complaint--I wasn't looking for something to use for long periods. I just wanted something for quick pickups.I've got a full size Dyson vacuum and love it. This little guy isn't worth the plastic that was killed making him.For me the suction is NOT there. I just tried to clean up a small amount of cat hair and there was next to NO suction whatsoever. I cleaned all three (yes, THREE) filters and I still have no suction. I've taken the whole thing apart and looked for blockages. Nothing. It sucks. No--I mean it WON'T suck. :)A few months ago it has SOME suction but not nearly as much as my ten-year-old Dustbuster which it replaced.I expected so much more.

really works!

I have been using this product for about 10 years now.In my late 30's my hair started to thin out all over, especially on the top and the temples. My hair was looking so thin and scraggly. I have long hair, below shoulder length. I started using this product and after about 3 months or so, I saw improvement. I continued to use it and 10 years later my hair is thicker than ever! I only use it when i wash my hair, about every 2-3 days. I put it on the roots all over when it is still wet. I used to lose so much hair in the shower. Handfuls. My stylist noticed it too, and asked me if I took vitamins. Now she says that she cant believe how full it is. I have also been taking multi vitamins and biotin. I think that helps too. Good luck! Keep at it and dont give up!

It Is Hard to Believe Pain is a Gift
|
Dr. Paul Brand was a remarkable man who contributed significantly to our understanding and treatment of neuropathic foot problems. Although he worked with lepers, the same problems affect our diabetic patients. His contributions to the management of these problems will not be forgotten. In addition to his medical expertise, his concern and treatment of individuals who were considered outcasts and beyond help are models we should all follow. Concern and care for others is what life should be about, and he exemplifies this attitude perfectly. His ability to improvise to help the people medically and socially was remarkable. Since the people needed special shoes, they just made them themselves. His work in India is still going forward. The story of this remarkable man is recommended to all. I have given each of my employees a copy of the book. I encourage them to use Dr. Brand's attitude toward people as their own as we deal with patients each day.

Caught me by surprise!
|
I'd have to say this book was a complete surprise to me from what I was expecting. Right from the first chapter I was hooked and found it held my interest right to the end. The story was interesting as were the characters. It had a touch of fairytale, macabe, humor, romance great characters and lots of surprises. Kim Hunter doesn't hold back when it comes to gritty discriptions so be prepared to be grossed out at times. He is not afraid to describe things in it's rawest form.This just adds more believability to the story in my opinion. If you like peaches and cream fantasy then this book is not for you. Otherwise give it a try. I don't think you will be disapointed. I'm am definitely looking forward to reading the next book "Wizard's Funeral". I'd give this book 4 1/2 stars.

Disappointed
|
The tapes do not add much to the fine book that Mr. Tolle wrote. I give his book 5 stars. It is wonderful, clear, concise and illuminating. A sense of peace seems to emanate from his words. I was expecting more of the same from the tapes; I didn't get it. I was hoping for elaboration and answers. When I read the book I formulated many questions in my mind that I would have liked to have answered. None of them were. As to elaboration, there is a bit concerning the pain body on tape 2, but not enough, and tape 1 is a rather inarticulate rehash of other material in the book. Mr Tolle's tone seems smug at times; it cast a slight negative shadow on my very positive impression of him and his work. I was very disappointed by the tapes.I am somewhat surprised by the other reviews which are so positive. I've only listened to the tapes once so maybe I'm judging them too harshly, on the other hand I have no desire to listen to them again.

Daughter loves it
|
My daughter has always liked ladybugs. One that lights up, and puts stars on the ceiling? No brainer for her second xmas.She is absolutely obsessed with it. It goes everywhere she goes the past 24hrs. She figured out the different light buttons and how to turn it on and off in the first 2 seconds. It's very intuitive. The shell is hard and feels fairly sturdy - she hasn't thrown it yet but I'm confident it'll hold up. The plush is quite soft and cuddly, which is a big part of why she's always holding onto it.Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Absolutely a toy she'll love for years to come. As is, she doesn't like lights in her room when she sleeps at night, so it's mostly a before bed light show for her which is great too, keeps her in a good mood. But in a few months who knows? They change all the time.

No heart and no soul
|
Well, after only 1,800+ reviews, I figured I would add my two cents worth. Enough about Jar Jar, we all hated him, end of story. The real problem with this movie is that Lucas has forgotten what gives a movie value and entrances the watcher. There simply was nothing to pull you in, to make you feel like you are watching some great epic struggle. This is what the first two movies had (and somewhat the third movie). Nobody cares about CGI generated tadpoles fighting CGI generated robots! "Gee wiz the special effects are great, but do I really care what happens to either side being depicted?" Um, no. Please, Mr. Lucas, go back and watch the first two movies of your own series and try to recreate the magic.Now, as for whether you should purchase this DVD or not? Yes, but skip to the Jedi lightsaber battle scenes. This is the best thing about a DVD--it's way easier to do this than with tape!

THANK GOD FOR NATUREPATHS
|
THANK God FOR SUZANNE SOMER'S. ALL HER BOOKS ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL; ESPECIALLY "Breakthrough" & "Knockout". I've actually healed myself & my 27 year old son. We've been through at least 50 doctors in the past 12 years that made us worse. The only one who helped us were naturepaths, especially Dr. Jonathan Wright. They can be very expensive so we kind of had to self/heal ourselves. Western medicine is nothing but pills, pills, & more pills. The only pills we ingest are HERBS & VITAMINS !! EVERYBODY AND I MEAN EVERYBODY NEEDS TO READ "Breakthrough"!!!!

Wow....all I can is.....WOW

Ann's finally lost it. Defending McCarthy? Come on! Calling Asians "savage Orientals"? Come one! Carter comitted treason by accepting the Nobel Peace Prize? Come on! This is sad, really. No, more than that, it's sick.Also, Ann knows very well that when a paper prints an op-ed piece, IT IS NOT THE OPINION OF THE PAPER, but the WRITER! She knows this, but quotes papers' op-ed sections as if they are the papers' regular reporting. She must hold her fans in incredible contempt if she thinks they don't understand this. Well, maybe they don't....maybe that's part of what has made her so rich.

My First Jacques Book...And Definately Not My Last.

I would have liked to rate this book an 11...I loved it! I bought it because I was looking for something good to read over the summer...I didn't get that. I got an extraordinary book to last me a couple hours. I loved it! I kept myself up to finish it. It went everywhere with me. In the middle it got lost...I went insane! I bought another copy as soon as I could...the onlly thing I've bought so far I don't regret. I loved it! The characters are so real, the personification so complete, the story so totally, absolutely, amazingly AWESOME! If you haven't read this book, get off your sofa and buy it! You won't regret it!!!!:)

It's Garbage
|
I don't write reviews but I want to save someone from making a BIG mistake. The first time I used this camera was in Tahiti and after two rolls of film, it broke. I took it back to Circuit City and got another. I used one roll over Christmas and took it too Egypt. This new one broke after the third roll and I haven't used it since. Who cares about the warranty? What a waste of money - I certainly don't want to have another one of these. I am now using my old reliable 10-year-old camera and am sucking up the expense. But I also don't have pictures of Tahiti and Egypt. Am I supposed to carry two cameras in case this one doesn't work? Never again Minolta will you get my money. It's not the money for the camera but the trip pictures to places I will probably never go again. Thanks for the memories - not.

Never A Dull Moment
|
In the prolog of this book, there is a very startling development. Bob Lee Swagger is shot in the chest by a sniper while out horseback riding with his wife and daughter. The reader is drawn into the following story, eager to discover what led to this devastating outcome. The story centers on the war in Vietnam and the peace demonstrations in Washington DC. Then the scene shifts to Washington DC and the post-war political intrigue. Bob Lee Swagger is looking for answers while his life is being threatened. There are several twists and surprises in this story. Just when the reader thinks he has it all figured out, the story takes a whole new direction. Things aren't settled until the very last page. A lot of edge-of-your-seat suspense and well-plotted action. Never a dull moment.

Not up to the caliber of Ender's Game, but good nonetheless
|
I loved Ender's Game, certainly it is one of my favorite books. Speaker for the Dead, which introduced the piggies an Ender's post-xenocide life, was good but at times a little slow. I think Xenocide is second best of the three. I love the philosophical and scientific discussion of philotic threads, which often spans several pages. The parts with the Path, i.e. a Chinese colony highly involved with Starways Congress, were extremely dull at the beginning, but picked up speed later on. The chapters on Lusitania were overall better though. The main thing that I didn't like about the book was the seperation of Ender and Valentine and the way that Ender becomes more a part of his new family. I don't find Novinha's family (can't remember last name...) very interesting. I always liked the relationship between the Wiggin siblings, and this kills it a little. Oh well, good book, hope to read Children of the Mind soon and then on to the Bean series!

Andre in Cortona, Tuscany
|
Andre once again gives us a thrill. The Romance of Tuscany, the beauty of the Johann Strauss Orchestra & the Charm of Andre. Speaking in Italian Andre easily connects with his fans. Framed in the colors of Cortona, the city sets the background for a Romantic Evening. Romance Anonyme & I love you are soft and spirited at the same time. Barcarolle beautiful. Who can resist dancing with the JSO as they play a waltz? Carmen is ever stunning as she sings O Mio Babbion Cara, bringing some of us to tears. You clap, You sing, You dance, You fall in Love. This is Andre at his best.*Andre just completed another Cortona concert, so let's hope for a follow up CD & [email protected]

Good Start
|
I ordered the hydrofarm JSV2 2-foot jump start system with prime shipping and it arrived on schedule. Opened box and reviewed parts. The support sections are reasonably solid and the frame for the lamp is lightweight but functional. The instructions are brief but understandable if you have some experience with putting together parts to form the structure. You screw two support frames to the two feet. Be sure to use two washers as provided and tighten. Then push two frames into square holes in the upper frame. You have to use a little force, but my palm of hand was a sufficient hammer. Then attach two clips to light frame and attach to support lines coming down from upper frame. Took no more than 10 minutes.Light works, plants seem to be happy. System is stable on table.

It didn't work for me!!
|
I do not want to leave any negative reviews. So I am writing here what happened. I bought the USB data cable for my Samsung Sprint cell phone SPH-A840. It came with no car charger. It didn't work out with my Dell laptop which has winXP. I downloaded the software that come with the cd, but didn't work. I downloaded the software from Samsung website. It didn't work too. I tried the same thing with my PC at work, but again it didn't work. I didn't ask the seller's help, neither anybody's. So I do not know if there is somthing to do about it, or not.

Not worth the money
|
I ordered this item because it was described as a quality gift basket that you could "share" with friends and family. And the reviews I read were outstanding. However, when I got the basket it was extremely small. It was smaller than my toddler's Easter basket! The food packages were so tiny that they could not be enjoyed by more than one person. Most of the basket was paper filler. The basket itself was slightly warped (not too badly) and the bow was made of cheap paper and was much smaller than that in the photo. I can't imagine how they justify charging this much money for something so small . . . not to mention the shipping! I was very disappointed. Thankfully, I had the item shipped to my house so that I could see it before I gave it as a gift. Needless to say, I ended up getting something else. Don't waste your money on this one.

Cover nice, that all
|
Cover of CD nice. It interesting. Music not good. First song sound like band trying to scare people. And man who sing songs, not understanding why people like him. He look a like a man, but he too much sound like woman. Pretty sure he a hippie too. It sound like they use cheap guitar on songs. Sound not clear, it just very loud. Maybe they make some money first and buy better guitar. Songs not very understanding either. Not good!!

Pretty Cool Elvis-where have you been?
|
Where have you been Elvis? His forays into different musical genres made me lose interest. A new Elvis release was usually greeted with cynical questioning about what strange collaboration or direction was it going to be this time? The most recent Elvis cd I purchased was My aim is true with extended selections. When this cd was released and the reviews were exclaiming his return to form, I thought I would at least listen to the sound clips. Wow. Good stuff. Musically it is as interesting as anything he has done. Lyrically, it is as obscure as anything he has done (meaning I have no idea where the songs are supposed to be going). 45 is straight out of early elvis material. Spooky Girlfriend matches the start and it keeps on going. This is not just a rehashing, but a revisiting of a style that works beautifully. Welcome back Elvis!

Not just for the women readers
|
My wife bought this book for me. Said I needed all kinds of help and that she was going to find it one way or the other. I promised her that I would read it. She bought it for me for Christmas. I was not wanting to read anything. But a promise is a promise. To be honest I wanted to golf instead of reading. I found John Forosisky's book to be inspiring. The more I read...the more I wanted to read. When I was done, I went to our pastor and showed him the book. He asked to borrow it and then he also said that he endorses the book - he told our whole church about it. I know now that I can give my life to Jesus Christ and be ok with that. Before it was hard to do that. Forosisky has a clear message and if you need to get your life in order...read this....and you will have what you need to do just that. I look foward to John's next writing.

BEWARE 2003 upgrade for Mac OS X! Rating: MINUS 5 stars!
|
I've been using 2000 for Mac since it came out and was very happy with it. Since upgrading to 2003, I've had nothing but trouble. Downloading transactions is a nightmare with constant freezes. There are phantom transactions that don't match anything and then disappear. Select one transaction and you can't unselect it. Select one transaction and you frequently have only the option of accepting all not just the one highlighted. Matches that read exactly the same in the downloads and register are not marked as matches so if you accept, you have a double entry. Opening and closing the window doesn't help. Restart the program and your downloaded transactions look the same but the balance in your register is suddenly doubled! I want to go back to 2000, but now that won't version connect to my bank. DO NOT GET 2003 FOR MAC!

This DVD is for newbees
|
It's not that detailed. Read the books. The maps are nice but would have been better if they had also drawn paths traveled. Better to get the Middle Earth Atlas book. The "soundtrack" after about 15 minutes was reduced to the same short musical phrase over and over and over...I wanted to tear my hair out. Only redeemed by the thoughtful insite of a few commentators. If you have not read the books it will entice you to read them (if the theatrical movies haven't). Peter Jackson is not on this DVD as an other reviewer implied. It does have bits of JRR himself. The Biography was good but also is on other DVDs. The Brothers Hildebrandt discuss their paintings but it would have been better if lead by an interviewer..they do babble on a bit. Quality of the DVD does not do the artwork justice (you need to see them in print). A bit of a teaser to get the viewer to learn and see more.

Beyond my expectations
|
After reading a couple other reviews I was not expecting a lot from this camera. I was pleasantly surprised when I got it. It's easy to use. It installs flawlessly in W98SE. The photos are actually quite good. It doesn't have a flash, so don't expect to take photos in low light. The software that comes with it is very nice. I actually unpacked this camera and had pictures on my computer in about five minutes. If you don't have a quick, convenient way to get photos into your computer this is an excellant low-priced option. It does do a short video clip also, which astounds me for the price of the camera. This is a great way to get started with digital photos.

Watch out for snakes!! This episode of MST3k is definitely one of my favorites! Who wouldnt like this one? Well, someone who doesn't appreciate the humor in such bad, bad films. But I gotta tell you. I genuinely like Arch Hall jr.'s songs in the film. If only those songs were on soundtrack! Too bad I can't enjoy looking at his face. He sure has a face for radio. Joel describes him perfectly when he says he "Looks like the bat from Ferngully". I guess they needed an even uglier person than Richard Kiel so that he wouldn't be upstaged! But that's saying a lot. All I can say is brace yourself for the shaving scene! There's just a whole bunch of oily actors and bad voice dubbing in spots! Blame Arch Hall Sr. for directing it. And thank Joel and the Bots for making it funny! So go buy yourself a copy of Eegah. Do it today!

Excellent.

This is the very beginning of Rainbow. Dio's singing has never been better. This proves that he had a soft side. He's not from hell. Ritchie Blackmore's playing is at his best. There's still a little leftover funk from Deep Purple, but there are some rare gems. Temple of the King, for instance. A very nice ballad. I love the instrumental from the Yardbirds. Classic. The only problem is that their isn't any long jams like on the 2nd album. Plus, some of the songs ramble on for a while. Catch the Rainbow should've ended around 4 and a half minutes, but instead, it's 6. Still, I can hear the power metal in the album. Nice playing from the keyboardist. I forgot his name. Very good debut.

High Quality Combo
|
I'm very satisfied with this combo. As others have said, the picture quality of both DVD and VCR is excellent. On the VCR/TV side of things, most units offer SVideo out but not input. This is one of the few that offers this (in addition to composite and RF). So, I have my digital cable TV box connected via SVideo, then SVideo out on the JVC unit connects to my HD-ready TV. Then, component out to the TV as well. With progressive scan turned off, I can watch DVD, VCR, or cable TV on SVideo, and just DVD on component. With PS turned on, DVD can only be watched on component and SVideo is only used for VCR or TV viewing. The only drawback using the SVideo input from cable TV is that the unit needs to be turned on in order to view cable TV. It doesn't pass through the signals if it is turned off. A small price to pay for best quality viewing.

Not impressed
|
I had this inverter installed in my cargo van and just after a year it started giving me problems. I use it to mainly run an 800 watt microwave, laptop, and GPS. The inverter worked well then began to experience power loss. The unit remains on, but does does not give any continuous power output. Sometimes, the power output cycles on and off while still showing it is on at the switch. It is connected to a seperate high output battery of very good quality. I use it frequently, about 9 months out of the year. After 2 years now, I am still having problems with it. It is becoming frustrating not knowing if it will work or not. I haven't figured out any reason for it to act up. I am now looking for a new inverter. Maybe I just got a lemon. I expected more from a respectable name such as Tripp Lite.

NOT TO BAD
|
this cd really is not as bad as i thought it would be. some songs are fun to sing and jump around to or just start singing for no reason. Not like u care put i am going to tell u my expecence. 1 day at lunch me and my friends, excuse my, my friends and I started singing That's How I Beat Shaq and it was fun. I would say the best songs on the cd are Come Get It, I Want Candy, and That's How I Beat Shaq. Another 1 of my wierd experences. My friend Michelle told me that one day her sister was watching TV and Aaron Carter was singing Come Get It so she started singing along, but she thought she was singing I am Gay. So she was singing that in frout of the TV. So now my friends and I sing that all the time, and to tell u the truth I think I'm Gay sounds better than Come Get It, if u know what I mead. I hope this review helped. Bye.

Then again,maybe you should read this book
|
I bought this book for a nickel from a used book sale at a local library. I wasn't sure if I'd like it,but I tried it. Usually I don't read a lot of books with male protagonists;this is an exception. Tony had to deal with new wealth,moving away,coping with problems,and making decisions about his future. Like real boys,he and his friends tried to do macho things. "Then Again,Maybe I Won't" is like a guy's version of "Are You There,God? It's me,Margaret",but without religious elements. I could look into a guy's mind. Girls and boys aren't that different in some ways. We both have our insecurities. I'd reccomend this to novel to preteens.

Fun intro to history
|
As a kid in Phoenix, AZ, I found Geoffrey Trease's books in the public library. After the first one, I devoured the rest. Up to that time I always said I didn't like history [classes, in school]. But after reading Trease's books, I became interested & tried Meader, and others.We moved away, & I lost the author & titles. But recently I went hunting. My favorite Trease books were the ones about Shakespeare (Cue for Treason), and his pair on Garibaldi. With neither author nor titles, I've had to hunt hard, & read a lot of children's books. But when I found Cue for Treason, I knew I'd found the right one. After 30 years, I still remember the story well [that right there tells you it's a good book!].Trease was a good historian [even if his political views were off :) ]. Better yet, he makes history come alive. Look for ALL of his fiction. Wait - ignore that: wait until I have a complete collection, THEN look for them!

Not impressed
|
I had to purchase this software for a class in my masters program. It doesn't do much more than the free image programs that came preloaded on my computer. I rarely use it now that my class is over. I use the full version of Photoshop at my job so it was pretty annoying to find that it wasn't similar to the full version at all. It was like using a completely different brand of software. And the photo manager that came with it was pretty annoying too. Advanced users will probably be annoyed by the program, but it is fairly simple enough for moderate computer users. If you already have image editing software on your computer you might as well stick with what you have. If you don't have anything at all, this program does get the job done. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't have to have it for class. Although I didn't use the scrapbooking stuff that came with it, it did look like it had some cute ideas for making photo albums.

Worse than elevator music
|
Anytime you hear that an artist is 'trying something new' when what they were doing in the first place was wonderful, run away! This was recommended to me and so I ordered it. Pretty expensive as far as CD's go too and it was a big disappointment. This actually sounds like bad elevator music. It only puts me in the mood to get out of the elevator... quickly. It's too bad C.D.'s can't be recycled because it's trash. This one will go in the junk pile...even the library didn't want it! Don't waste your time or money. His earlier stuff is much better. Roberto needs to remember the old saying "Don't fix what ain't broke".

Novely item at best.
|
This bank looks nice on the surface. However, if you actually want it to work, pick another bank. There are several faults with the function of this bank. We bought two and they both do the same things. It is clearly a design deficiency. They often count pennies as dimes and vice versa. They also will count incorrectly if the coin is not pushed straight into the slot. You can start to push it and if it pops back up, it will count something. It does not recognize any coin greater than a quarter. Overall it is a novelty item at best. If your child tells you he put 5 dollars in the bank and the bank says there is 4.50, I would trust your child.

Stay away from this radio!
|
I previously owned this radio and was very careful with it, but it stopped working after about 1 1/2 years due to a design flaw. I babied this radio and kept it in a protective case, but it began to malfunction and ultimately stopped working. The casing and buttons do not protect the radio's circuit board. Mild pressure to either the case or the buttons began to turn it off, and it then stopped working. Panasonic is normally a very reliable brand, but not in this case. A much better alternative is the Coby CX-9 mini digital AM/FM stereo pocket radio with neck strap, also sold by Amazon. This is an awesome radio, especially for the price! The reception is great and the control buttons are easy to use. I've owned the Coby radio for several months and have been very pleased. It has a clip you can attach to your pants/shorts/shirt pocket, or you can hang it from a strap around your neck. You can't go wrong with the Coby radio!

tapping the cliches
|
this is a pretty good surfing story but that's not saying much. anyone who knows surfing knows the movies and books about it are a joke. kem nunn needs to join a good fiction workshop. get rid of the excessive passive voice--ike was looking at the ocean becomes ike looked at the ocean-- and cut down on the description. the first time ike sees the ocean nunn pours on the description. what hemingway said about the iceberg is true. just give the reader a whiff of the pacific, and move the story forward. the reader will sense the ocean and it will be much more effective. instead nunn writers four pages of description. most of the characters are very close to being complete cliches. if i hear one more elder surfer trying to teach a younger surfer of the soul of the ocean, i'm liable to start singing kumbyya. i barely got through this book. his other book, the dogs of winter, is better, though still annoying and cliched

Highly NOT recommended
|
Received item and affixed it to the Dickies "holster" I had purchased. Cost $4.99 to buy and $4.99 to ship. I noticed the weak spring and small "catch shoulder" on the bottom of the clip but thought I'd give it a try. Within hours I had sat down on my sofa (leather, if that makes any difference) and it popped right off. The clip opening was wider than the belt so it "locked" over the belt. Thought I'd still give it another chance. Next day, I had driven to my daughter's newly purchased building to move in some items for her. No one was there and I had forgotten the keys. Reached for my phone. It wasn't there. Drove back to the house and of course the phone was on the sofa.Wanted to return it. So if I return it I will receive a grand total of $4.99. I am out the shipping to and from for what I consider a poorly designed clip.

Ancient Video Transfer = NO SALE!
|
The original versions being offered on a "bonus" disc is insulting. These will be non-enhanced for 16x9 Televisions and come from a 13 year old video transfer. This is like the stone-age! So much has advanced since that time. It's also insulting for people who have already purchased the special editions in 2004/2005 to be asked to re-buy them at a higher cost to receive these "bonus" discs of a classic film in a less than pristine form. LFL needs at a minimum make a new transfer or the original trilogy. Release this on dvd and then later on hd dvd or blu ray. If that it done, I don't have a problem with buying them again. Give these classics the respect they deserve! Until then I am done with Star Wars. See websites like digitalbits and hometheaterforum for more information.

Kitchen Aid Gear Failure
|
Feb 16 2012-Another Whirlpool throwaway product as Kitchen Aid is owned by WhirlpoolCorp. In December 2009 I purchased a Kitchen Aid Pro 600 for my sweetheart for Christmas. We have always wanted one and were excited. In January 2012 A gear failed and made the mixer inoperable. She called customer service, out of warranty obviously (12 months). They suggested shipping to a repair center, a $100 + problem. I am currently ordering parts and will repair myself. It is sad that for $300 + you can't purchase a quality product. A great opportunity for a company to create value for the consumer. We definitely did not feel like 24 months of use was a good value for our dollar.Whirlpool take note: All your appliances lack in quality.GMC's Cadillac brand poor quality 20+ years = GMC bankrupt.KitchenAid KP26M1XNP Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Nickel PearlPS Would Like info on a quality product that will last. Be sure to do your homework, hope this helps someone.

Surprisingly nice for the price
|
My old keyboard was like 8 yrs old, and since both my boyfriend and I have a bad habit of eating snacks or lunch at the computer, it was really dirty and a lot of the keys would stick. So obviously I decided to replace it. I've never had an ergonomic keyboard before, but it was the cheapest multimedia keyboard I could find. It works great! It took me less than five minutes to get used to the difference in the keys, and it is actually a whole lot more comfortable to use. And absolutely all of the multimedia buttons work! I know from past experience that that isn't always the case. I love having the little calculator button! I've never seen a keyboard with that before. Plus the forward and back buttons work both with the internet and with music programs. It's very quiet, and does actually take up less space than my old keyboard. Overall I would highly recommend this product, it's definitely the best you are going to get for the price range!

Babs worked at a few low wage jobs but she did so as a tourist. I worked as a janitor and a factory worker for years. I dont feel that she really knows anything. I would suggest instead Ben Hampers book Rivethead. I give her credit for looking into the subject, but come on. She is just another Harpers denizen who doesnt' know bupkis about the world if she cant write some nifty article about it. There is alot more to say about blue-collar America than Babara wants to fit in here cute little articles. Too bad. Try Ben Cheevers book. Hes' significantly less flippant, believe it or not. Thanks for nothing Babs.

total garbage, dont waste your money
|
I owned this up till a few minutes ago when I finally had enough and smashed it into lots of little pieces. At least I had the last laugh. I estimate it worked ok initally, sometimes shredding 2 sheets at a time, but not easily for the first 300 sheets. After that it would only handle 1 sheet at a time. To date I estimate Ive shredded about 800 sheets with it. Today it wouldnt even do one sheet without jamming. It always jammed meaning it clogs with paper and you have to reverse it or clear by hand each time. It looks like a shredder but it really isnt one. Dont waste your money. I owned it for about 6 years and only do light household shredding, tax forms and credit card applications and old bills, not that much to ask, but I guess it was. I'm looking for a replacement now.

As Distant Experience from the Book as Possible
|
"The Phantom Tollbooth" is one of my favorite books. I like the text. Very unusually for a children's book, I genuinely like the illustrations -- to the extent that I'd consider hanging a few on my wall. It's a distinctive book, and it has hugely valuable object lessons for children. So I had high expectations, paying to see it in a theater. They were completely dashed. The animation is weak standard fare -- a cold shock, compared to the excellence of the book illustrations. The book in some way cleverly holds the narrative together, the movie is a bunch of disjointed, cheezy, cheap cartoon shots. Director Chuck Jones did the same thing to Walt Kelly's "Pogo" -- enraging Kelly to such an extent that Kelly took control of the next Pogo film. Jones is a myopic Hollywood talent, seeing only his vision. What is deep in the book is superficial in this movie. The movie is disappointing and bland commercialism.

I never write negative reviews.....but
|
First of all, I never write negative reviews. But I have had two of these sink mats in the past and loved them. So I thought all the hype about the oder was just that...hype. Well I ordered one to replace the one that I keep on the side of my sink that covers the disposal. No problem at all with the middle piece, it was just like the one I was replacing. I have now had it for nearly a month. It still smells awful. I don't know if rubbermaid has changed the compound that it is made of or what, but the oder is overwhelming. At first I thought some of the negative reviews might be from folks who have a small unventilated kitchen and didn't give it enough time to lose it's "new" smell. Well I have a big wide open kitchen that spills into my dining room and living room and again, after a month it still smells awful. Not worth sending back, but will never buy another one. I love Amazon, but they need to nix this product.

I'm sorry I got on this train.
|
Night Train just didn't work for me. The character of Mike Hoolihan just never became a real cop to me. In one sentence she's talking tough, "a bass player chokes to death on his own ralph," the next paragraph "a shoah of suicides" is mentioned. Is she a tough cop, or an intellectual one? If she's supposed to be both, it didn't convince me. These inconsistencies are found throughout the book. At first the odd feel of the character intrigued me, but then I just started to be annoyed by her. The plot, dealing with a suicide investigation that Mike has a personal connection to,leads to an unsatisfactory conclusion. The last chapter is titled "The Seeing." The sights within are very disappointing, and seem to make the whole book up to that point rather "pointless." Maybe that was the author's intent, but I'm sorry I found out the hard way.

Look for something else
|
I got this for my son new off of eBay a couple years ago after having trouble finding a suitable kids' player in the stores. It worked for a little while, but would easily skip the cd back to the beginning if you so much as looked at it wrong. Pretty awful it doesn't have anti-skip protection for being a kids' product. Especially if they want to carry it around or sing to a cd or something. I got him another brand and we kept this just to use with the microphone. I recently broke it out again for my younger son and found that it would only play a cd to about the 4th song and then just stop playing. Don't know why Fisher Price stopped making their Tuff Stuff cd player. I found that one used on eBay after buying this and it has worked fantastically since purchasing. I'll probably end up donating this headache to a good will or something. Really...shop around and find something else. It might look like what you are looking for, but it is really a poor quality player.

Beautiful pictures to match the poems
|
My toddler loves this book. This is the first book he actually refers to by name. Each little poem on each page is beautiful in its own way. The mushy (cuddle, hug) is balanced by the practical (make me clean). I disagree with the reviewer who thought the Papa Papa side was not as good.What I especially love is the image and words that refer to breastfeeding. The lovely words (Give me warmth and give me milk) are accompanied by a beautiful illustration of a cheetah nursing. Most baby books refer to bottles, as in Katz' "What Does Baby Say?" (What does the hungry baby say? Ba-Ba.) My breastfed son could never relate to these, but he instantly responded to this page in this book. Love it!

Very Bad Things = Even Worse Movie
|
About as much comedy here as you'll find in an ingrown toe nail. The film relies on guts, gore, stupidity and a lot of shouting between the characters rather than an intelligent script. I can't help but compare this with the somewhat similar "good plan goes awry" plot of A Simple Plan. The latter film develops emotion for the characters - even the not so nice ones. There's not a single main character in VBT that causes one to even care what happens to them. VBT does not work as a comedy - even black comedy (try Fargo if you want to see a textbook example). It doesn't work as drama. There's practically no character development. This thing just plain does not work! The only saving grace to this movie is the incredibly gorgeous young Asian lady who plays the prostitute! The director should have kept her character alive and killed off all the rest!

You would have to have been there to appreciate this DVD!
|
Yes the lighting is poor but this concert was filmed in 1976 and I witnessed it live in Greensboro, NC and to this day, it is the best concert that I have ever attended! Parliment, Funkedelic, and Bootsy's Rubberband were the bands of 1970's. They had there own style of music, own style of stage shows, and the music had a message. But only certain people could grasp the P-Funk idealogy, but the ones that could! It was nothing but a party baby! Back then musicians played real instruments and entertained on stage but the P-Funk boys were the "real deal"! Other outstanding groups of that era were Earth, Wind, and Fire, if you ever get a chance to buy any of there concerts on DVD from that period (70's & 80's) go for it! You won't be disappointed! For all you Funkateers that are still out there, enjoy this collectors item! It is rare and worth the buy! Peace and may the Funk be with you!

From the perspective of a beginner and amateur photographer
|
I know very little about binoculars. I know a lot about cameras, but have never owned a pair of binocs. I wanted to buy a basic binoculars with a decent range for my photography nature trips. I wanted to survey a scene quickly with light binoculars and decided to get this one. It's cheap, had good reviews and a respectable name. Here are my views after owning it for a couple of months:PROS:1. Excellent value2. Respectable name3. Small and light4. Good solid quality5. Adjusting stereo vision is quick and smooth and stays in place once found6. Comes with a nice little soft case7. Folds up nicelyCONS:1. Eye holes are smaller than I would like. Still see my eyelashes sometimes. This is expected of most compact binoculars.2. Requires a decent amount of light to work. A little difficult for sunrise photography.3. Neck string is thin and difficult to replaceOverall, this seems like a very solid product and at this price, it's a no lose choice.

Great Sealer for freezing and storage
|
I actually own the VS200 maybe this is a later model. ... Like the other reviewer has commented this sealer really works. I am having no problems with it. It seals great. Besides if it didn't seal just right, check and do it again. It's easy and very effective. Get yourself a sealer and start saving money and hassles. You really can't freeze much without one because the best of ziplocs always seem to let in freezer burns. My only tip would be that when sealing something really juicy, freeze until juice is solid. If you do this you will find that you get a much better vacuum and more air removed more quickly from the bag. But the little trap inside is very easy to clean out drips. Also, stop the sealer quickly if juice is going inside before it has a chance to get inside the vacuum pump. Also has separate hose available and canisters like the pricier Tilia. I haven't tried Tilia but since I'm happy with this why should I spend more?

This one of the Temtps best album they have EVER created!
|
I ordered this beautiful album about two weeks ago. and if I say this is one of their BEST one yet, please believe me! Once you hear it, you'll want to play it every day! I listen to it in my car and at home. Everytime, I leave my house, I grab two things: My purse and the Temptation CD. ANTHOLOGY. I can even identfy EACH singer's voice, in every song that is sang. There are beautiful songs on this particular album that I have never heard over the radio. Melvin Franklin's voice on "Old Man River", makes chills come all over me. The man was tough! David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin and Otis are the artists who grace this CD. If you buy it, you won't be disappointed. I can assure you! I'm a HUGE fan of the Temptations.

Humorous and Touching
|
Jim Varney does an excellent job with his humorous, yet touching role as Ernest: Camp Counselor. The introduction to this movie is really funny. If you haven't done so already, pay attention to the golf cart! That isn't the last time you'll see it. Ernest's tolerance of the Second Chance boys is touching. I listen to "I'm Glad It's Raining" every now and then to remember this movie. It's really nice to see a movie where everything comes out ok in the end. The war at the mining camp is a riot! Simple little things such as the turtle saying "I'm scared, sarge" adds to the humor. This movie would not be as good if you tried to apply logic to some of the actions or if you dissected the plot. Just enjoy it for the humor & caring!

Parts available for NB-G100P
|
I have been considering the Panasonic Toaster Oven for a week or so. Saw some reviews complaining that the infrared heating element had failed. The reviewers stated that they were unable to replace the part, and that led to a one-star rating even though they had liked the item prior to failure. I did a Panasonic search and easily found their customer support area for parts purchasing. Try [...]That was the page description where I saw a long list of parts and prices for the NB-G100P. Available from their Kent, Washington parts distribution center. If that link is not exactly what you want, just type in the product ID number and follow along to where you want to go. It was quite easy to do. Anyway, I was no longer worried about failure of parts, and I ordered my toaster tonight. I don't know how many stars to give it, since I will not even see it for about 18 more days while I wait for free delivery. So I will give it a sight-unseen 5 stars.

Not for everyone
|
I'm not a wallet guy. Haven't had one for probably 15+ years. I carry 6 cards; license, credit card, debit card, AAA card, health insurance card and gasoline charge. having lost my credit card (why only that?!) TWICE in the last year, I decided a wallet was in order. But thin had to be a TOP priority. Well gentlemen, this is it. However, if you want something luxurious and supple, you will absolutely need to look elsewhere. This is made out of sailcloth nylon and can be relatively noisy. In fact, it crinkles so readily, that I have mistaken it for the vibration of my cell phone when in my pocket. It takes getting used to. But, once you do, it is the perfect wallet for someone who really doesn't want one.

A Disappointment
|
Back about 1974-ish, there was a Hendrix LP with this exact cover. It was called "Soundtrack to the movie Jimi Hendrix". All songs on that album were complete. It was my favorite Hendrix album.This is not a DVD version of that album. Most of the songs on this DVD are incomplete. Purple Haze was an especially big let down. Ditto Machine Gun - it's on this DVD twice, and neither version is complete.The interviews consist of a bunch of famous people testifying to what a great guy Jimi was. Great. We already knew that.This DVD leaves a lot to be desired. For a kick @ss Hendrix DVD, get "Jimi Plays Berkeley". No holds barred on that one.

black & decker digital evolution iron
|
still waiting. The very first time i tried to use the iron, I turned it on and the iron started to smoke. At first I thought it was because the iron was brand new. No such luck. It burn itself up. Black and Decker told me that they wanted the iron back, to examine it, and they would send me a new one, well that was six weeks ago. I called Black and Decker again. I was told the iron was on back order. I would receive the iron in approximately ten days. Well still no iron. I went to the Mall and bought a iron four weeks ago. still no Black & Decker.d

Great For Young Kids
|
A silly movie I loved as a kid. I bought the DVD for myself. I put it on ready to enjoy a childhood favorite, and I could sit through it once and only once. Not quite as good as I had remembered, as with many things loved in childhood. My daughter on the other hand loves it, so not a total waste. Since I loved it as a kid and now my daughter loves it, I would say it's a great movie for kids. It's very entertaining for them. As for adults or young adults, unless you loved it as a child, there's not much of a plot but no shortage of cheese. The enjoyment is more sentimental and nostalgic. It's Jim Henson puppets, I mean really, how many serious adults sit around enjoying Sesame Street.No, there's nothing perverse about the movie (as I read in some reviews). And no, you don't have to be on drugs or crazy to enjoy it, just young or young at heart accompanied by a great imagination.

This is my last Cathy Maxwell book. I don't know why she likes writing about women who like sex so much. When I read the Marriage Ring, I almost gave up on her. But this book came in a collection of old books I bought and decided to give her one last try. Nope.And that's even the problem this time! This time, the hero was at fault. The things that came out of his mouth; I would have slapped him too."I love you so much! You make me so happy! You've given my life meaning - what? Marry? Oh no, dear, we could never be married! You'd simply be my mistress! We will be together for always, and after I have sex with my wife to produce a baby, I'll have all the time in the world to spend with you!"Ugh! That's basically what he says throughout the story. No more Cathy Maxwell for me. She writes characters like they're modern-day.

A Metal Masterpiece
|
Here it is, the album that started my Savatage frenzy. I know a lot of people prefer Zachery Stevens voice over Jon Olivas, but I certainly don't. I love Jon Oliva, great emotion and passion in his voice, a metal voice for sure. My favorite tune from this album is them all. Honestly, I have no one favorite song on this CD. When I play this disc I usually play it straight through. Again, Jon's monsterous piano melodies, as well as his vocals are superb. Criss's guitars jump so fluidly from one melody to the next it's amazing. I have been known to refer to Criss as "The Wizard". A must have for any metalhead. A true work of art.I stamp this CD, Gutter Ballet by Savatage, A Metal Masterpiece.

NO!

... I rented this game because of other reviews but the graphics aren't that great. The graphics are like Super Mario 64. The buttons are so darn confusing. Once I tried to seperate my pikmin in colours and they all ran away. The Game is to short it's a game that most people would beat in one day. The story line is Your rocket gets hit by an asteroid and you land on a weird planet. Your oxygen supplie will only last you 30 pikmin days. You lost thirty parts of your ship that spread out all over the pikmin world. One pikmin day is like 15 minutes so that means you only get 450 minutes of gameplay! One other thing If you use all 30 days and you've only found 29 or less parts you die and have to start a new game. You don't even fight you don't controll the pikmin. You just stand there while they kill the bad guy ( boring ). If you don't believe me still don't buy the game just rent it you'll see.

Nothing at all can compare to Nirvana
|
I, frankly, find Nirvana amazing. Although I am not a Gen X-er (and I really wish I was older so that I could remember 1991!), I can say that Nirvana revolutionized the world of music. There was no music quite like Nirvana's and there never will be. When Kurt Cobain sings, you can hear his pain, passion, and anger. Also, his lyrics are poignant and thought provoking. They are full of complex messages and political and social commentary, full of contradictions Kurt was easily the best songwriter that ever lived. Whoever says the lyrics are whiny or some crap like that is seriously ill.There are so many things about Nirvana to praise, but I could not fit them in one review. Words just can't describe how great Nirvana is. And when Kurt Cobain died, a generation died, the music died, and a little bit of everyone died. He was a legend.RIP Kurt-Olivia, 14

Tragic Results
|
Having purchased Flight Simulator 2002 , and using the marvelous Corsair a lot, I certainly looked forward to getting my hands on CFS3. To say I was disapointed is an understatement. I paid good cash for this, though mail order . Which means it cant be taken back to the store for a refund. When it arrived I hot footed up to install. Initialy with all the slow graphics and strange flight effects, I thought I'd installed it incorrectly. After 3 re-loads I came top the conclusion that its the game...and not my PC, which is only 5 months old . Of course it could be the XP. Pity the great graphics and smooth movements on FS2002 has not been carried over to CFS3. Tragic ..and a waste of money. Avoid it if you can...

"Which means it cant be taken back to the store for a refund.",
"When it arrived I hot footed up to install.",
"Initialy with all the slow graphics and strange flight effects, I thought I'd installed it incorrectly.",
"After 3 re-loads I came top the conclusion that its the game...and not my PC, which is only 5 months old.",
"Of course it could be the XP.",
"Pity the great graphics and smooth movements on FS2002 has not been carried over to CFS3.",

Don't do it.

I use Publisher for little family web sites on geocities. Pub 97 was really good. When 2000 came out I bought it and it was GREAT! The best program I've ever used in fact! So naturally when MS Publisher 2002 came out I bought it and my heart is broken. It has ruined all my work and will not upload to my host. It is a land-mine of bad news. It even crashes my cable access to the net. But to give you and example. When you finish you website and go to save it, it says to go to file and Save as a Web Page (97 and 2000 does this too) BUT GUESS WHAT?::: There is nothing there about saving to web page. HELP which used to be really "helpful" dances around it with NO INFO. I am convinced that Microsoft does not want this program used for web work anymore because of lagging sales of Front Page, and set it up to fail. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. I HAVE BEEN BUILDING WEB PAGES FOR 6 YEARS WITH EASE, BUT THIS PROGRAM HAS RUINED EVERYTHING AND MADE IT A LIVING HELL.

A great machine, but some of the pictures of are not correct.
|
I have owned one for many years. I love it. I just wish it had an optical output. Also I wish it had a keyboard interface, to enter the track titles at a much easier way. I know Sony made other models that had optical outputs. One of the pictures of this model showing the right side of the front panel is not correct. It is a different model, possibly one with an optical output. The pictures shows one with two optical input selector switch and a analog selection. Cannot see the model number since it is in the reflection of the light from the unit. Also the picture of the back shows the two optical inputs and an optical output. I am looking for one with an optical output. I guess I can buy a Texcam model for more money than I want to spend. It has a digital output and keyboard connection (PS/2) on the back.

Lianne and Kyle Donovan now.....
|
"Jade Island" is a book in which you either liked it or you don't. Compared to "Amber Beach", I thought this was a great book. Yes, it may have rambled on about jade but I LOVED the hero/heroine of this book. I thought it was great that Kyle was in his own story and Lianne wasn't a bad character either. She may yearned for her oriental side of the family's affections but she was a self-sufficient, independent female and I liked that about her. There's no doubt in my mind that Kyle is my favorite Donovan sibling and that is one reason why I enjoyed this book stupendously. Maybe the ending was a little disappointing but overall, I've enjoyed this book a great deal! I have "Pearl Cove" but I've only skimmed through it. Kyle and Lianne are expecting twins! How terrific is that? I hope there's a fourth book coming out...

Who are the barbarians?
|
When I saw this film, I can only question our humanity. Who are the barbarians? Everyone should see this. Its not easy. I howled and trembled, but I thought.....so what? The animals are the ones EXPERIENCING the pain....NOT ME!!!!I wish every single human would watch this documentary. Maybe.....MAYBE things will change and our beautiful co-beings on this planet will be able to live and breath as they were born to do. Please watch this film and don't look away. Its a must for the survival of life. Their life as well as ours.

Not for young children
|
I rented this movie from the library and really wish I would have previewed it first. It was a little too graphic for my three boys ages 11, 9, and 7. My boys were covering up their eyes and telling me to turn it off. I expected it to be on the lines of the "Once Upon a Potty" cartoon that they watched years ago when learning to potty train. This was more like "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network. When the mother's breast was shown, it looked like she had a breast enhancement and then they zoomed in on them. Then, the bedroom scene was inappropriate for children. Even the dialog was too much. Instead of this movie, I would recommend the "God's Design for Sex" book series. It's very informative, purposeful and in good taste. This movie is not appropriate for a child of any age to watch. To quote my oldest son, "I'd rather you tell me about [sex] than to see that movie."

Overpriced considering build quality
|
I'll keep this somewhat short. I bought the headphones in December of 2010 and the right earbud unglued itself as others have mentioned in June of 2011. I only used these headphones a few times a week. They felt a lot sturdier than they ended up being. They fell apart the same way my 40 dollar skullcandy headphones did. Problem is, these headphones are almost 5 times the MSRP of those. I could never keep these headphones in my ears, they would constantly fall out and it would be extremely annoying during cardio. Right after they broke, I went back and purchased another pair of Klipsch S4's. (I personally ruined the first pair I owned) They are lighter, sound better (my opinio), and most importantly, they don't fall out of my ears. The cord is also very light. From my overall experience with heapdhones, I would have to rate these Monster Turbine's as one of the worst. I've owned headphones from 20-200 dollars. Those would include Sony, Monster, Klipsch, and Shure.

DYNO-MYTE!
|
This game is nuts, absolutely nuts! I love it! I wasn't the biggest fan of the earilier titles in this series, but this is something else, let me tell ya! The 3 city sections are absolutely huge! You'll get to the point where you know the streets as well as those of your own hometown. Plenty to do, plenty. The only complaint I have is that you cannot enter any of the buildings. They could have created a few generic convienence store interiors or something. It'd be great to be able to hold up a 7-11 or a liquor store or something. Other than that, hours upon hours of fun. Get out there and buy this now, assuming you're of age that is.

What is this?
|
What does everyone see in this guy? Dude has no talent at all. All he does is bark like a dog in every song, and every song sounds the same. And why is he claimen thug? He aint no thug! The problem with dmx is, if you buy one of his albums, you've BOUGHT EM ALL! He also needs to stop yelling in every song and concentrate on his lyrics. Now, if you want REAL, true talent, buy a Bone Thugs N Harmony cd. Now thats a group with talent. And their new cd is coming out Feb. 29th. Dmx could NEVER touch Bone if his life depended on it. Thats my word........................
