Nietzsche Misunderstood
I can't believe Nietzsche deserves this type of attack. G.E. Gorfu appears to have misunderstood him totally. I have read several of Nietzsche's books but have never seen this side of Nietzsche. Is it Gorfu or I that need to read Nietzsche again? I wonder... Nietzsche was misunderstood all his life. I am not surprised if Gorfu too, has misunderstood him. The book may be well written, but what is the purpose? Why try to destroy this great icon of philosophy? Let people read Nietzsche and make up their own conclusions? Why do we need to see Nietzsche through the heavily tinted glasses of G.E. Gorfu?

What a scam
Literally left scars on my face. Burn scars actually. Doesn't work. It just sucks that we're all so vain and self-conscious in this country (blame society) that we're willing to pay whatever amount of money for something like this. Seriously, not to get all philosophical, but with the premium we all place on physical appearance, even if we know there's little chance of a product actually doing what it claims we're still willing to take the chance... because WHAT IF? Ya know. $150, $200, whatever... we feel it's worth a shot. And the manufacturers of this junk get rich on our insecurities and nearly blind faith and optimism. BUNK !!!!

The view is too small; you can not see much of anything.
We intend to use this periscope inside a toy cardboard house we built for the kids. The plan is to bore a hole in the middle to place the periscope so they can see outside from inside the box. Sounds fun? Not exactly. The view is too small. When you look into it, you can only see an area the size of a single face in it. They should make this wide angle view. It is too hard to find and see anything, like looking for a tiny airplane up in the sky using a peephole. Not really worth it.Construction is fine. It is a piece of telescoping plastic pipe than extends to 14". But at least it would help if it is more functional than this.

Does what it is design for!!!
Used the shade for the first time on the beach. Very easy to set up and didn't even read the directions. Took maybe 7-10 minutes at most. The temp out was 100 with high humidity. This shade is pretty much the only reason we where able to enjoy the beach on our vacation. I was a little worried about the wind gusts, but no problem. This has room for two with beach chairs. Our daughter 5 even enjoyed it a few times while not playing in the sand. One thing of note, it really depends on the sun angle to the amount of shade you will get. We were able to get more shade as the afternoon sun was hitting the back window side more. If the sun is shinning at you (facing the opening) then this isn't going to help much. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase. I would recommend for someone looking for a little shade at the beach rather then screwing with an umbrella. Good luck.

Sadly, it's beyond bad!
If given a choice between hitting your thumb with a hammer & watching this movie, go with the hammer. I am a huge fan of Highlander & was thrilled when I got this DVD. That didn't last long. My expectations were smashed early on. I am a big fan of the character of Methos, but in this movie I barely recognized the character I'd loved so much. And Duncan is such a joyless SOB I just wanted him to shut up and live or die already. And the death of a major character was such a waste! He deserved a better end. Avoid this DVD. And I say that with much regret. :(

Weak Follow up to a dynamic debut album!
Best known for their 1985 hit "Everybody Dance". This group seemed like they might stay on the scene for a while in 1985, but a long singing career wasn't destined to be. This follow up album can be considered a sophmore jinx. I can honestly see why this album did not give them a hit. First of all, There are only 3 songs on this album that I can actually stand. But those 3 songs alone don't give this album a hit. Second of all, they seem to have kind of a different sound then their previous album. This album sounds more cheesy R&B and very little Minneapolis sound to it. I reccomend their first album! Don't buy this album for no more then 10 dollars. It's honestly not worth any higher!

0 stars updated to 3.5 stars with (updated?) unit
Purchased specifically to record AM radio as it is the only device which will do timed recordings of AM radio. STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNIT. It has a loud buzzing / hissing noise in all recordings - especially on AM. The manual even says to turn the display off to reduce noise during recording. It helps but it is still there and still quite loud. Additionally, the built in speaker is so small that it sounds horrible. It shouldn't even be there it is so bad. If Pogo releases an updated version without the noise, a better speaker and preferably AA batteries, I will be first in line to purchase. I regreatably had to return this unit and am now using another MP-3 player / recorder and seperate radio with timer.Update: Recently purchased another one of these. Have a need to do multiple recordings which I could not do as described abouve. Either I got 2 bad ones before or the manufacturer has made changes. This one hardly has any buzz.

Move along - you'll thank me later
I rented, rather than purchased this movie, and boy am I glad. (Although if there was a way to get my rental money back I would.)The concept had the potential to be an all-gay sendup of the the women in prison films - except it looks more like the transition scenes in a gay porno with all the sex cut out. Bad lighting. Bad acting. Bad sets. Bad writing. (You get the picture.) Even the actors look embarassed to be in this one.Oddly, on the DVD, this is also a photo gallery option - that has almost nothing to do with this film. Out of 75 or so shots, only a half dozen come from the film - the rest are gratuitous shots of naked men - apparently from other vidoes (most likely porn) the company owns.The movie: a painful 82 minutes. The DVD: a waste of plastic. Move along to something better - you'll thank me for it.

I find this book extremely valuable. The examples are out of date but the ideas are not. Most finance textbooks say that either markets are efficient and you can't find undervalued stocks, or to just use discounted cash flows to estimate the value of a firm. Well, these reasons are inadequate because they don't investors any practical information, probably causing mistakes. Peter Lynch gives practical guidelines for selecting a company. If you follow his guidelines you'll make fewer mistakes. I especially like his section on famous numbers. Finely an explanation for why the numbers are important. Most books just say things like, this is the debt ratio and you can compare it to the historical past, or to the industry. Peter Lynch provides a context for interpreting financial ratios. The other sections of the book are just as good. I find the most valuable information in the book from about chapter 7 to 13.

not out of choice
I had to read the novel for an English lit course and it one of the poorest I have ever had the misfortune to read. I am sorry to say that I found it very slow and over written. The characters are shallow, the story line is far fetched and the nding is just downright unsatisfactory. And then, just when you think you've reached the end you discover 'Hisorical notes.' We are all aware that it is a story so why prolong our torture with 'Historical notes'? Its not real and the notes are irrelevant. Not only that, they pose the question of how Offred was able to record them. No-where in the novel does she relay any such detail as her difficulty in keeping records. And finally, my last moan, why are the notes at the end? They would provide a good basis and outline of the novel. They belong at the front. Though to be perfectly honest the whole thing belongs in the bin. Never agin should a student be subjected to such rubbish.

Waste of money!
I purchased this item as recommended by my friend who gained 40+ lbs. during her pregnancy. She claimed to not have any stretch marks during her pregnancy due to this product. I figure, if this product worked for her, then maybe it can for me.This product was helpful in minimizing the itch that come along with stretching, but it did NOT prevent stretch marks. No product out there can prevent stretch marks....it's in the genes, and partially the diet. I was being hopeful with this product...expecting a miracle. LOL! Well, that hope lead to wasting all that $$$.I purchased 3 jars of this to last me the last 5.5 months of my pregnancy (when I noticed the first sign of a stretch mark). Product smells nice and helps keeping skin moisturized, but that's pretty much all it can do. Gaining just 26 lbs. throughout the pregnancy and delivering an 8 lb. 4 oz little girl, I didn't bother open the last jar and use post partum...I just re-sold it online.

Possibly My Favorite Show Ever!
I, like many of the reviewers, was able to see The Producers twice, and adored it both times! While the cd isn't as good as the real thing (what is?), it's one of my favorite cds.The divine combination of Mel Brooks, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, CADY HUFFMAN (I want to be her when I grow up), and the rest of the cast, along with a stellar production team, have the power to do anything. Cheer you up, make you realize that Broadway hasn't completely gone down the drain, anything! Personally, I think the US government should hire them as researchers for cancer cures. I bet it would work!If you don't have this cd yet, buy it! If you do, buy it again and give it to everyone you know (except for people you hate. Give them Titanic: The Musical). This cd is priceless! And, speaking of priceless, why don't they release a DVD recording of the show? Mel Brooks, are you listening?

Fabulous!
This is a wonderful movie! Simply fabulous! I highly recommend it. It's obviously about three drag queens. The queens, and the princess go traveling, and along the way, encounter the usual mishaps. The characters go through very real, relatable emotions and feelings along the way. It's humorous and heartwarming, all at the same time. Definitely a feel good movie. It left me wanting more. I didn't want it to end. Too bad it wasn't longer, or a sequal. This is one movie, given the same cast, and a good director, that a sequal would have been welcome. What are you waiting for, go out and get it, or order it! Enjoy.

Great Movie, Poor DVD
I agree with other reviewers. This is a great movie by one of the greatest modern Russian directors. Mastroianni is astonishing as always. Movie itself deserves 5 stars. I gave the overall rating of 4 stars because of the DVD package. There are no subtitles (I read the cover - Russin version only). Even though I understand Russian, listening to the behing the scene voice (by the way, it's Nikita's Mikhalkov's voice) is annoying and takes a lot from the movie appreciation. I totally agree that this movies deserves a standard treatment with the choice of languages and subtitles. The serious viewers are trained to read subtitles and treasure the movies the way they were intended. Can you imagine Fellini's, Kurasawa's or Ozu's movies with the director's voice behind the scene? I cannot!

A beautiful fantasy -- you won't want it to end
As a young-adult writer, I read many books for this age group. Often, they tend to be formulaic. Not Skellig! From the moment Michael discovers the strange creature -- man, bird, or angel? -- in his parents' garage, I was taken in. You will be too, whether you're a child or an adult. Almond's attention to detail (Would an other-worldly being eat chinese food?) is what gets you. But what holds you are Michael's "real world" problems, his baby sister's illness, his family's move, the fact that his old friends, Leakey and Coot, think his new friend, Mina, strange. I was unable to put this book down until I found the resolution. I'll be buying a copy for my 10-year-old nephew, but I recommend it for both kids and adults.

A Perfect Day for Salinger
Even after decades, this is still appealing to people of all ages. I'm a teenager and I have always been more interested in reading more modern-day novels and short stories, but J.D. Salinger is among one of the few exceptions I have been willing to broaden my horizons for. "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" is by far my favorite of all the nine stories. There is a part where this little girl is talking to Seymour and she is wearing a canary-yellow swimsuit. Seymour commented on it, saying, "I've always loved that color of blue on a bathing suit," and the little girl responded with, "This is yellow!" and Seymour said, "So it is." Eeek! The little things like that are what make me love Salinger and his writing so very much. Sorry that this was not much of a review with a plot summary or anything, but trust me, read this and you'll love it!!!

Shiloh 3 Movie Series
I loved the Shiloh movies...all three of them. I don't usually watch family movies. I'm more into Sci-fi and drama. We recently brought home a beagle puppy and when I saw these movies about a beagle I thought they might be fun. They were. These are not movies about a super dog, or a dog that acts like a human. They about the responsibilities of owning a dog, the challenges of doing what's right, and being a person of integrity. I brought them with me to a Christmas Family reunion and we watched all three straight through. Everybody loved them. All ages of us. I wish there were more of them.

This Was 1 of 2 Albums That Made Me A Punk
In the late 80's in high school I had discovered heavy metal music and for a few years that was my thing. So over Christmas break in 1991, I asked this punk guy in my auto shop class about punk music. He loaned me 2 cassette tapes that opened my eyes. This album was one of them (Mommy's Little Monster the other one).This album is awesome. Biafra has that... well 'goofy' vocal sound, that he always seems to be able to pull off. Even his later stuff, little goofy on the vocals but somehow it works with the music. This album is different. His vocals are not over the top, they are pretty straight forward and they really work well with this music. I cant really even compare this album with anything else out there. It stands on it's own.All I can really say about this album is buy it. As a whole, this is the best album with Jello Biafra. I like this one even over any Kennedy albums. This album opened me up to a new genre of music. It will do the same for you.

I would have given it 5 stars but Spike is such a loser!
Overall this book was terrific. Well conceived, well written. I liked how it got back to the basics with Willow, Buffy, Giles and Xander. I also like Anya and Dawn. I really hoped that The Buffster would have had time to get to know the supernatural being Michael. He seemed wonderful. I will always want her with Angel though.As the title says, SPIKE SUCKS! I didn't watch the last three seasons of Buffy so I don't know if he was like this on the show but in the book he acted like Buffy's lovesick puppy dog, following her everywhere and begging to be loved. It was pathetic. Spike was best as a bad guy. The minute they put that damn chip in his brain, it seems like the character became truly pathetic.If you don't mind a wimpy Spike then buy this book. Its good.

The show is amazing...the videos are terrible.
I am a big fan of The Sopranos. Tony Soprano is such a beautiful character and I fall more in love with him (James) and the cast every week. I ran out the other day and splurged on the first season collector's set. I took it home, like a boy at Christmas, and unwrapped it. When I popped in the first tape though, there was this ringing...sort of like a modem or telephone. It made the first tape unwatchable. I returned it from where I purchased it, and exchanged it for another set. I took it home and watched all the episodes, somewhat pleased with what I saw. I popped in the 5th and final tape and it was broken. The tape kept cutting in and out and the sound was horrible. I have to take back my set today (FOR THE SECOND TIME). Take my advice, save yourself some trouble and rent it at Blockbuster.

Well, they asked for it. Peter Collins and his glossy production trying to make Rush into something they are not. Fear is not a good enough reason for prog-rockers to turn "Alternative." I swear some of the songs here sound like hyped versions of Pearl Jam. I don't mind a change in direction, but an about-face is something else. For such heralded musicians and writers of some of the more intricate songs I have ever heard, it was truly a shame to hear the fairly conventional song-structures, cliched lyrical content, and jagged production. I remember actually liking this album for the first few spins, but after a few more I was beginning to be annoyed. I never listen to this album anymore, while I still return to their earlier albums with confidence. The only really good track here is the instrumental "Leave That Thing Alone." That's good advice. They have much better albums than this disappointment. Later.

One of better recent mysteries
The Spanish Prisoner is in a league of its own. Not only is it one of the better mysteries of the decade, but it also achieves such without violence, sex, or profanity. Not that I'm against those mind you, as long as they are there to benefit the plot, and not just for show. What I mean to say rather, that it is astonishing to watch such an absorbing film, and then by the end of it all realize that it did it without traits mentioned above. Much like the Usual Suspects, this film plays with your mind. You are taken on a rollercoaster. Who can you trust? The acting is dead on perfect. Campell Scott is good as the unexciting man in the middle of it all. And believe it or not Steve Martin is perfect in his role. So if you're looking for a good brainteaser, I reccomend this one. Also, look for a cameo by Ed O'Neil, better known as TV's Al Bundy.

For Fans Only
Don't buy this movie unless you are a huge fan of Priyanka, Akshay, or Salman, or have clinical depression and need something painfully goofy to make it through the night. And for the love of Ganesh, do not let this be your first Bollywood movie because you'll never watch another one after this. Unless you are five years old, in which case you might like the over-the-top screwball acting, transparent plotline, and uninspired dance numbers.Why two stars instead of one?The technical quality of this Blu-ray is good, the picture is crystal clear, and English subtitles work fine. The movie was shot in Goa, which is nice. It has Priyanka Chopra in it. Also, it stars Priyanka Chopra. Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan have a lot of fans and you might be one of them. Priyanka Chopra is in it. You might like the songs. Salman takes his shirt off a lot so if you're into that sort of thing, go for it. Oh, also, this movie has Priyanka Chopra in it.

I love it!
I had been searching for a playpen for awhile. I wanted one with a bottom like I used when I raised my children. It kept them safe and I could put them outside to enjoy the fresh air while I got a few things done. There are lots of pack & plays, but they are too small for play. They have lots of playyards, but I wanted something that would be off the floor/ground. This way it could be used for the inside & outside. I finally decided to try the Graco even though it seemed smaller then I wanted. I was really happy when it arrived. The colors are fun and bright and there is enough room for him to move around and safely play. It is easy to put together and break down. It is also easy to wipe down to keep clean. The price was very reasonable too. Definitely a good buy.

Do you like to hear a constant buzz while you sleep?
If you don't like to hear a constant buzz while you are trying to sleep, then don't buy this product. Yes, this product has a constant buzz when it is turned "on". Very annoying. My husband hates it and I just deal with it. The buzz is there even when the volume is turned all the way down. I'm getting ready to shop for a video monitor to replace this thing.I do need to address the static. I did not get static when it was new and but I have experienced it. I've had it for 18 months and I noticed that I get static when it's windy outside. The static can be so bad that you wonder if someone has shut it off to cause it to static. Otherwise I hear BUZZZZZZZZZ all night long.Hope this helps someone. Perhaps look at the reviews for a different brand.

THIS ONE IS GREAT BUT DEPENDS UPON YOUR TASTE
I personally enjoyed ever word of this particular work. Many other reviewers have gone into the plot, etc. so I will not do so here to any depth. This is one of those works of SiFi that will appeal to certain taste, while others may find it not to their liking. There is a great deal of politics (almost Pre WWI European) involved in the story line. As the story covers (all books included) over one thousand years, there are many, many characters to track and keep track of. This is indeed a series of short stories, all linked. I personally enjoy this sort of thing but can see where some might not. That being said, it, the book, can certainly be regarded as a classic in this particular genre and certainly should be read by any student of such. You certainly cannot fault the author's story telling ability and imagination. I enjoyed this one a lot and do highly recommend it.

Bring back the Old Edition!
I was raised on The Joy of Cooking as my Bible for cooking. I was so anxious to receive my new (1997) edition as my 1975 edition was falling apart. To my dismay none of the recipes I depend upon were there, or if they were, were completely altered. Where is the Persimmon pudding? The basic cornbread? The bran muffins(the old version)? Gone. And I detect a trendiness at the cost of taste in the guise of low-fat, etc. (this should be a separate section only). I am now faced with a dilemma of what to do. I only use my 1975 edition but it is falling apart. Will the Joy of Cooking people please reconsider reissuing it? How about renaming this edition as Joy II for those who actually like it? Thanks, Karen in Santa Cruz

Wiseblood is a Wise Choice!
This album was my introduction to CoC. Wow! Not at all what I expected with the somewhat overblown bandname. I imagined a cliched speed metal band, but what I got instead was a different style of metal, one that appeals to me greatly. Wikipedia refers to CoC as "Southern Metal." That phrase is perfect. Imagine if Metallica could morph into Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath. Yeah, it's that good, and this album is on permanent rotation in my car stereo. With Southernesque hard rockers like "The Door" and "Long Whip/Big America," my windows stay down and my volume cranked up. Listeners will also enjoy the thrash metal ditty "Fuel" and a homage to early Sabbath entitled "The Snake Has No Head." This is a must-have!

Blood Omen 2, not such a bad game.
All in all this is a great game. I had this for Xbox originally, so I never had to deal with the alleged glitches. I hope I won't when I re-buy this for ps2. >< Anyways you are Kain, an arrogant, cocky vampire with a huge superiority complex. When the game starts you get your @$$ handed to you by some dude named the Sarafan Lord. Kain makes an alliance with Uma I think her name was. He goes across Norrath kills Sarafan, Hyldan, and a bunch of other things along the way. You get weapons, your weapons wear down, you throw it into the next body...repeat. The world of Nosgoth is actually beautifully done, and you could truly get lost in it. The sounds, the way people go about their business, it was a new and much needed facelift to Nosgoth. The only issue I really had with this game was that it wasnt so much a puzzle game as it was a straight hack n slash blood bath, and too many discrepencies. I'd play it though.

Bad Ending!!!!!!
God, I was so disappointed with this show's ending!!!!!! Here they are fighting the "first" but then you never even see the "first" in person!!!! Why is that?!!!!!! I was hoping Buffy would fight a big ugly thing in the last episode but it's just a battle with all those vampire demons, and no "first".Plus I don't know what those potential slayers were all about. That made no sense to me at all. Another thing I could never tolerate was Willow. I hate her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's real annoying, and she's a lesbian for god's sake. That time I saw her make out with that other lesbian I almost had to vomit. I started watching the show many weeks later to get my mind off that hideous scene but then I saw them make out again!!!!!!!!!! I almost kicked my TV screen in!!!!!!!! Oh well, that must be the work of the devil getting into Joss Weddon's mind and giving him that aweful idea like that. Anyway, I just wish there was more to the ending, like an actual "first".

A little pricey...
I bought this for my son's 6th birthday. When we first plugged it in and turned off the lights we all thought it was the coolest thing. And it is. It's a great way to learn. I'm not sure it's worth that price, though. $80 is a bit much. I bought it on sale for $67.For the most part, we love it. Stars and continents in one globe. How great is that. And they don't interfere with each other. When the lights are on you only see land and water. when the lights go off, only stars. Unless you look really really closely!It's a cool thing to have and learn from. My son loves to look for places he heard about on tv or from other people. But the price still gets me.

Terrible movie worst sequel
This is movie is terrible. It is a lot more scientific than the other ones or the show. It focuses too much on the fact that the sun has been destroyed and the sky is red. The first half hour of the movie shows Christopher Lambert's character (Connor MacLeod) as a old man. Saying that he has claimed the prize and lived his life up to become an old man. Then it tosses u a completely different story then from the first one. It says that Connor MacLeod and Juan Ramirez(Sean Connery) are punished by becoming immortal and being sent to the future as in the renegade version and to earth from the planet Zeist in the original. And it claims that there are more immortals form the Planet Zeist or from the past that can challenge MacLeod thus making him immortal again. And then MacLeod can call Juan Ramirez even though he's been killed to help him. I dont recommed this movie. If u saw the first one and liked it, see Highlander 3 the final dimension, and highlander endgame.

Very well thought out story. Hard to put down!
Please do not watch the movie version of this novel first if you plan on reading this novel. The film is simply awful! Besides the title, characters names and location, it really dosen't follow the book well at all.The novel on the other hand is simply superb! This is the best of the lot from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Truly a fun book to read. I've given my copy to many friends to read and some say they were truly frightened by the story. It's very well written and has a fantastic plot. You'll be making time to read this one.I'm a big Preston/Child fan, but I've found they've never matched the level of this book. The sequel (Reliquery) isn't bad though, but it's dosen't come close to the original. If you like reading this novel, I would recommend "Mount Dragon, Rip Tide and Cabinet of the Curiosities." Along with "Codex" by Preston and "Utopia" by Child.

Not worth it...get it out of the library.
It's hard to believe this man is a huge fan of hard rock, when his his focus seems more on Bon Jovi (really??) and Pearl jam. Ugh. I used to read RIP back in the day and loved the mag....could this be the same man who represented it? Sad to say that there is nothing intresting in this book at all. NOTHING. I want to make it clear that I couldnt wait to read this book. What a jip. Think im too critical? Read it and tell me.....what planet rock is lonn talking about? It's not the planet rock where I dwell thats for damn sure!

A must-have Medjugorje book!
I cannot believe that I haven't reviewed this already! Where have I been? If you are going to choose one book on Medjugorje, this should be it. The writing is clear and informative. Background on Medjugorje is given, along with a nice compilation of interviews with the visionaries and locutionists. I appreciated the questions asked, as many of them reflected my own thoughts. Lastly, a number of The Blessed Mother's messages are posted at the back of the book. You can easily get the rest of the messages through a simple google online. It's a fascinating read and not dry at all. If you need somewhere to start, go here. Definitely recommend.

Bogus Hokus Pokus
I am a master gardener and have tried pretty much every additive, bio and synthetic supposed plant helper on the market. I have actually done controlled experiments with this product on 5 peppers (5 with 5 without) and found ABSOLUTELY NO difference with it. No difference at all! Im sure it has vitamins in it as it smells like one in the bottle but you can get better results with natural AZomite for a ton cheaper. Dont expect a jack in the beanstalk story because its not magic and its nothing special but a multi vitamin in a bottle. Its hokus pokus claims in my book. Just look at the label and see the circus and claims which are NOT proven or proof. Stick with good old fashioned compost and it will blow you away. FYI, the seller of this product Hydro Harrys is a great outlet with great products and selection. Its where I buy all of my hydroponic supplies and the ONLY reason I have given this 2 stars rather then 1. That has to count for somethin...

I felt a connection
I have been researching my family genealogy lately. I have found one branch to have begun in the US in Edisto, SC. The earliest time I have found them is back to the late 1700's. I have taken it upon myself to find any and all resources that have been written about Edisto Island. This is one of the many I have hunted down. I really have enjoyed the history that was interwoven into the stories that were told in this book. It was originally written in the 1950's. Nell interviewed many of the older residents on the island and was able to glean some great stories and information. Many of the people in the stories are linked to my lineage and I love feeling as though I have a personal connection with them. This was a good read, not only for me because of the family connection, but it would be for anyone who likes to hear about the old south and their ways. It really was a great time of wealth, hardship, and extraordinary people.

Listen First
I have all the crows ablums in my collection. I bought this one without listening to it first.VERY BAD MOVE!!!I would say that they have soldout, but then again, they have always fit into the center of mainstream pop. But, my attraction to them came with the soulfulness and truth of the music. I liked them in spite of their popularity.Like them no more. This disc is overproduced, overwrought garbage. It takes some particularly pungent aspects of eighties music and forms it into a CD of concentrated trash. I can't understand why so many people rate this ablum highly.The big struggle here is that I can't even respect their direction. It's one thing to be experiemental (a la Kid A of Radiohead or even Zooropa for U2). But this is just a big ole' sell out. There I said it. It's sellout.

The Truth
I felt compelled to write this letter, because this book is how black people in amerika really struggled back in the the late 60's early 70's. As a black young female, I feel our youth today has no idea half of the drama that our ancestors went through. We need to take the time with our children and read the stories of yester year. It may seem harsh at first, but then when they realize the struggles from the past they will appreciate where they are now. I am so glad I read this book. If it wasn't for the brother Common, showing me the light, I don't think I would have ever heard of Assata Shakur. That's what we need, more youth sharing our history; good and bad. We need to look at our for ourselves. Don't be like me at 24 and just now starting to get into my true roots. But better late than never. Peace and blessing.#

Book written in a weekend while pissed
This was one of the biggest disappointments in my reading life. I love British TV and humour, so have gone all out on books about social history and culture. This was so poorly written that some of the definitions appear to have been pulled out of a hat (I am referring mostly to the US equivalents). Some slang words and phrases gave an example; most did not (oddly, there were a few that seemed to merit half a page). The examples were very poor. Here is one of the worst: "Toad in the Hole; pork sausages covered in batter. U.S. equivalent: Toad the Wet Sprocket." WAAAAHT???? Many of the words or phrases would be familiar to anyone (same in both cultures) and didn't really need to be included, while others were missing that should have been included. Wow! Don't buy this book!

Terrific and entertaining ride to a wonderful apocalypse
I loved this book. I thought it was stupendous. The writing is great, a definite joy for those who love words. I could not put this book down, and carried it with me everywhere I went for about three days while I read it. The characters are so entertaining, particularly the bad guys, you just want to know what happens to them next.There's some very interesting views on the ultimate evolution of human communication. But it's the characters that steal the story. You have to love the personification of a heartless military industrial complex personified in the General. The political, self -aggrandizing, money hungry academia is there represented by University head Tynee. And the rotten stench of self serving, all controlling, old money surprisingly the form of chain smoking horrible old bossy woman. You will love these characters. Entertaining, thoughtful, and beautifully written, this is a great book.

Great clock, very big..
Installed in my garage, it's the first thing I see on the way in and the last on the way out. It and my att wireless phone's time are always in sync. You'll want to read the manual though. The first time you put the battery in, you'll set the time zone and daylight savings buttons on the back. After that, it will wait until late at night to sync. Don't expect it to set immediately. Once set, all you need to do is replace the battery once or twice a year, push a couple buttons and you're good. I bought two of the 12" versions for inside the house. They work flawlessly as well. The only thing I'd avoid is leaving the 16" version laying face up with the battery in. The second hand is heavy enough that the tip will drag on the paper backing which in my case, resulted in an arc where the second had dragged. This isn't an issue when the clock is mounted though.

Finally getting the recognition they deserve
I heard this band about a year and a half ago. The song was an old version of In Dying Days. I thought it was incredible. I then heard the old version of Hester Prynne, and the songs they had on their purevolume. They had an old song called Before The Break Of Dawn, and it was incredible, but these songs on the full length totally slay everything they've ever done. This is probably the best cd I've bought since Through The Eyes Of The Dead's Bloodlust. A while back, I heard they got signed to Mediaskare and were putting out a full length. The first song I heard off of it was Strife (Chug Chug). This the definition of "metalcore" or whatever people are calling it now-a-days. This has everything metal (blast beats, sick riffs and speed picking)and it's combined with hardcore (2-steps and breakdowns). This is bound to be one of the best releases of 2006. I know it already.

Disturbing? Chilling? Are you kidding?
Having read all the wonderful reviews of "Freaks" I just had to get it. I warned my wife before we watched that the film was (allegedly) incredibly disturbing, grotesque and frightening. Let's just say that we didn't even bat an eyelash. Don't get me wrong--it's a very interesting movie. But scary? No way! Yes, the use of actual "freaks" in the movie was fascinating, but it surely didn't make us run for the OFF switch on our DVD player. Considering the reviews, the movie was actually quite tame. Really tame. I am frankly shocked it was allegedly banned anywhere at any time. Weren't circus sideshows more prevelant in the 1930's than now? So what's the big deal? I agree that the DVD commentary was excellent, but this was NOT a scary movie. A good film, unique (that's for sure), and overall enjoyable to watch. But I don't see it as a landmark horror flick. Not even close.

Will the real Stephen King please stand up?
I really wanted to like this book. The first three volumes in the Dark Tower saga are some of my favourite King novels of all time. Unfortunately, Wizard and Glass will not join them. DT4 starts off great, concluding the tale of Blaine, the psychotic, riddle-loving monorail. From there, it moves on to a long, drawn out flashback that contributes very little to the mythology of the Dark Tower. Lastly, just when it looks like we may get back to the real story, King slaps together a truly awful Wizard of Oz scenario. If you're looking for a sappy romance with a heavy helping of B-Western tragedy thrown in, give it a shot. However, if you're expecting more tales of adventure in Midworld, wait for the next volume. You won't have missed a thing. Maybe it's just me, but I haven't like a single King book since Needful Things. Wouldn't it be ironic to find that his talent was buried in the ruins of Castle Rock?

A Scale that Can't Measure
I bought this scale because it measured in troy ounces. When I received it I read all the instructions and grabbed a 1oz silver coin to test the scale out. It read below half an oz. I thought this was odd so I took it into work the next day to compare it to one of our calibrated test scales. At first I just thought that the scale needed to be calibrated. So I followed the instructions on calibrating it. After the calibration I again made some measurements using the calibrated test scale for comparison. I measured exactly 500.0g using the calibrated test scale but everytime I placed the weight on the AWS scale I got a different measurement. Once it read 507.9g. I took the weight off, waited for the scale to show 0.0g, then placed the weight back on and got 467.7g. I cannot trust this scale, not worth buying.

An atrocious experiment
I am an avid reader, and I wait impatiently for my favorite authors. Patricia Cornwell used to be in that group. But, after reading this complete waste of money, I doubt I'll ever read another of her books. I struggled, literally, through about one third of this trash until I slammed it shut and threw it off the balcony. It is the most poorly written book I have ever had the misfortune to open. I don't know what she was thinking, but whatever it was, it sure didn't work. The writing is barely beyond a sixth grade level. The extreme use of dialect is barely understandable. The "Trooper Truth" rants are reminiscent of Dennis Miller. Save yourself the money. Don't even think of buying it. Go to the library and open any page. At least you won't be able to throw that one off the balcony.

Oh my...
Considering how good Lost Girls was, I was really looking forward to reading this book. However, it was extremely disappointing. First, Pyper should *not* have tried to write a book with a female main character. It took me about 15 pages to even realize it was a woman. Almost everything she said or did seemed unrealistic and/or forced to me. Also, there was no "eeriness" in this book like there was in Lost Girls. There were a few attempts at "creepy" scenes, but they just ended up being cheesy. The whole premise of the book was bland and unoriginal: rich North American execs are kidnapped in a foreign country and terrible things ensue. Try as they might, they can't figure out why they've been targeted. Then, in the last few pages, all is revealed! Surprise! Too bad it wasn't at all surprising.Andrew Pyper is capable of much better writing than this. I hope that his next book is better.

HORRIBLE!!!!!
Anyone who is a true fan of the 80's cartoon show should be very disappointed with this movie. None of the transformers have any personality. Only Optimus even slightly resembles the cartoon character (same voice actor, etc). The plot is horrible. The acting is horrible. Watching Shia LeBeouf act is like trying not to cringe when someone rakes their nails across a blackboard! How did this actor get to act in the next Indiana Jones movie? He sucks!Why did John voight sign on for this travesty? The effects are mediocre at best. Almost all of the transformers look nothing like what they did on the show. Note to the director-Megatron isn't supposed to transform into a plane! The humor was almost non-existant. Needless to say, I almost walked out on this piece of garbage. It's definately made for people with short attention spans who just want fast action. True fans of the cartoon show-please!!! Stay away! You'll waste over 2 hrs of your life!

Solid as a Rock - with a handle
Everything about this purchase has been pleasing. The price was better than I found in local stores. The packaging was surprisingly sound. It was received without any dings, or chips. I like the straight handle, as opposed to the ergo handle. (This is probably just a personal preference.) Though the dumbbell isn't rubber coated, most of the exercises I perform are unilateral so the dumbbells rarely touch. If I were to purchase dumbbells for bench press I would consider a rubberized weight. (Though, again, cost would probably keep me from doing so.) This weight is ideal for home use; bicep curls, tricep extensions, overhead press, lunges, door stop... Though I visit the local gym on a regular basis I love having the option to do smaller workouts at home.

Helpful but mostly hype - DO NOT BUY!
There is a lot of hype over this movie. Don't get my wrong, the information is helpful, but definitely not worth $10. The Happiest Baby on the Block talks about the 1st three months of a baby's life as being kind of like the '4th trimester'. Don't expect to much out of them and try to create womb-like environments for them. Swaddle them, swing them, shush them, play white noise. Mostly stuff that you would do anyway with a baby. His techqniques for holding, swaddling, and rocking are worth seeing once, but you definitely don't have to buy the movie. Borrow from a friend or just ask someone about it. I received this Dvd as a gift and then re-gifted it because there is no reason to ever watch it more than once. There is definitely some nice information in this video but I never had some kind of sacred, "my baby calms down instantly" experience. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It really just depends on your baby.

Thalia is beautiful but she should stick to acting in Novelas!
I've been following Thalia's carer since when she was in Timbiriche with Paulina Rubio and the rest of tha gang. I will give Thalia some points for being brave when it comes to singing. I think Thalia is nice to look at but HORRENDOUS to listen to. She should use her "new" resources and take singing lessons. Mariah at least had a voice before she drifted into trashinnes. So, Thalia, there's still hope for you. Just concentrate on learning English really well and learn how to SING. This album doesn't showcase anything new. In fact this album tries to cover up "Maria Mercedes". Thalia should have been past "Maria Mercedes" by now. This voice still sounds like it's hungry for some voice lessons.

If you want to ruin everything you own
I used the color "Flamingo Pink" along with some "Ebony." I created a chunking effect. The color is good, however it is EVERYWHERE now. It has been over three weeks since I colored my hair and if my hair touches anything, the dye transfers. It is really bad if my hair is wet, but even with my hair dry, there is a color transfer. My towels, pillows, sheets, clothing, parts of my shower lining, the shower curtain and many other things now have pink and purple splotches on them. The black hair dye transfers as dark purple. If I hug someone, my hair transfers a faded purple and pink stain that kind of looks like purple and pink dust. I cannot wear any of my good clothing because the collar will be ruined by the dye transfer. So, I spent all of that time coloring my hair, and now I have to wrap my hair in a scarf to avoid getting dye everywhere. Not to mention the expense and embarrassment of accidentally getting color on everything.

Stop trying to wring money out of us!!
Please tell me if someone out there really believes that Mr. Robert Jordon does not have the whole manuscript in triplicate snug at home... I did enjoy these books, however I am about fed up with the 2-3 year gap between books! Almost half the series goes nowhere! Yes this is important info., yes I need to know this. Great. Why couldn't they put two of those go nowhere books together. I guess they wouldn't get 20 bucks a pop from all of us suckers who wait anxiously in hopes of not being disapointed, yet again. I find myself struggling to rember the last books and ambigious references to events in them. Normally I would re-read the series, but I find myself wondering why I would possibly want to waste the time when I could go read Anne Mcaffrey or someone else. I did enjoy this series in the begining, now it's a matter of seeing this thing through to the end... I hope that will change!!

Not Impressed!
This was the first time I've ever had a bad purchase with Amazon. I was looking specifically for an inexpensive black clock. I received it with several other items I had ordered, and the shipping material was so minimal that the clock face had been scratched by the other items. Back it went, in exchange for another clock. The second arrived in acceptable shape . . . then I noticed the next day that the time was off about 20 minutes or so. When I attempted to correct the time, the minute hand began swinging freely and wouldn't stay in one position! Back it went, with a refund request this time. Aside from Amazon's poor packaging, they were super in promptly acknowledging the exchange and the refund. It is Chaney Instruments that I might be a bit wary of, at least with this specific clock!

Burned son's hand
I bought this toy yesterday at Target. I brought it home and put the batterries in and it did not work. My three-year-old was SO dissappointed. He did not care it did not turn on. He still wanted to yank it out of my hands and play with it. A few minutes later he was yelling at the top of his lungs saying it was burning him. The thing was so hot! I unscrewed it to find the brand new batterries melting. They were brand new! I called Mattel and they just asked ME to mail it in and wait 8 to 10 weeks for a replacement. They put it all on ME. I was livid! I am so tired of toys made in China.

Just What I Expected
I ordered this high chair after reading many reviews on several chairs. We have a small house so I was looking for a sturdy yet compact high chair to keep in the kitchen. This one fits the bill. My 20 lb six month old loves it! He isn't eating too much food yet but he loves sitting in it whenever we are in the kitchen! It rolls from room to room easily and it feels totally sturdy. I'm certain he will fit into it for another year or more. Some people have said that different highchairs were too small for their 2plus year old, but I don't plan on using it that long, so it's not an issue for me. My one complaint is one that I read a couple of other reviewers mention. That is that the foot rest is pretty much useless. It is small, low and too far back. I suppose if one thing could slide this would be it. So all in all a great high chair, although I have nothing to compare it to! I'm very happy with it.

Easy to Assemble & A Lot of Fun
There are already a lot of good reviews posted here. I just wanted to chime in and say...1. This was super-easy to assemble. All of the pieces have numbered stickers on them and the directions were clear. You don't need any extra tools either. I usually have to get help putting things together, but even I was able to assemble this with no problems!2. You don't have to attach the cranes and buckets if you don't want to. My son is only 2 1/2 years old and I know that this toy is made for kids who are older. I'm saving the buckets, etc. for when he's bigger. The toy works perfectly well without the smaller parts.3. My son LOVES this toy. He likes the dolls it came with, but it also works well with his pirate and Fischer Price figures

A must see
Some people claim that "the dubbing ruined" the movie for them. I have poor eyesight and the dubbing was a God-send for me. I've wanted to watch the movie since it came out, but the subtitles were too small, and went by too fast, for me to read them. Some people claim it "burns horrible images into your mind". Well the movie is definitely not for children, nor faint-hearted adults who don't want to know that this kind of horrible stuff happens waaay more often than is reported in the news. It is a good story, told at a good pace. There was a scene where the music was so intense it freaked me out. I had to pause the movie and go do something else for 5 min. before I could continue watching. It had a good ending, too. Not sappy, somewhat realistic, but good. This is a movie I would watch again. That's the litmus test for me. A movie I would watch again gets 5 stars.

Good and sad book!!!!
This book from Elvira Wodruff is good. It tells you how poor people lived. You can see how they live. They had no family. Dominic is the main character. Dominic didn't knew who his family was. Dominic, he is Italian and his family, when he was a baby he never saw them, just as a baby. This story takes place in New York, Italy, and a little bit of Californien. They where at Ellis Island. Dominic was with his class there to look at a family tree. Dominic wasn't looking at the tree because he will never knew who his family was. But when he is falling a sleep he got a dream and going back the time, he saw his family there when they was young.I would go to the library and get the book it's good. I would like it , that the book goes longer, it was just intresting the the book ends, I didn't like that.

No offense to Tom...
But I will NOT give into this shameless ripoff by the record company. A nice way to treat and reward fans who bought the original CD would be to offer the 4 bonus tracks on an EP for $5 or so. Or offer the songs for download. But when have record companies ever been so thoughtful? I'll just look for these elsewhere, and if I don't get them, oh well. The original CD can be had for around $12 and is a 4 star CD. This rip off amounts to $18 ($26 list!) for 4 songs! They know this is marketed towrds Tom Petty fans, and what fan hasn't already bought the CD? And who cares about leather packages and postcards! May the record company enjoy it's ride down the tubes.

Perfect For Air Travel!
I recently took a trip to North Carolina to visit family and was needing a carrier for my dog. I looked at all the pet stores and all over Amazon to find a good bag that would fit the requirements for air travel. This bag was perfect. I flew on American and the plane was and S-80 and the bag fit perfectly under the seat in front of me. My 11 lbs. Chiweenie had plent of room to stand up, turn around, and lay down (which was one of the requirements of the airlines). I was worried about the quality of the mess sides. I had read in previous reviews that some dogs tore through the sides. My dog was scratching a lot when you first put him in the bag, but it withstood the whole trip. I look forward to using this bag again if I make any travel arrangements with my dog. I highly recommend this bag for those traveling with small dogs under 16 lbs.

Take a look at korn's new cd
Great cd...definitely underrated. I've heard alot of bashing on this cd, but it's one of the best new cd's this past year. Did My Time is excellent...the live version of One is nice, although it would sound better in the studio. Y'all want a single is a great song too. Right Now is ok. Break some off, is a good song as well. The rest of the songs are decent, although i haven't quite warmed up to them yet (which i'm sure i will with a few more listens). It's not the best Korn cd by far, however. The self titled cd, Untouchables, and Follow the Leader are the top 3...but this is 4th. I love korn more than any band, but if you're not a big korn fan, you may not like it very much, which is fine because I hate seeing wannabe fans at concerts who only know the songs that mtv plays. Overall, a great cd for any korn fan, who likes more than the 2 or 3 singles that the radio shoves down our throats.

Too little, too late.
For someone who basically invented the zombie-genre, George Romero did NOTHING to advance the undead mythos. You can keep the thinly veiled social commentary . . . we get it. None of the characters were remotely interesting and the special effects were nothing new. As a matter of fact, the copious use of CGI really put me off. If this film were to have been made 5 or 10 years ago it would have been amazing. It's not quite fair to compare this to the Dawn remake (a much more dynamic offering) or 28 Days Later (which was technically not even a zombie flick). Using Romeros previous efforts as a unit of measure, Land of the Dead is more of a step backwards than forward.I really wanted to like this movie more but, after repeated viewing, it just didn't cut the mustard . . . history will not be kind to this film.

My Sister's Keeper: A Novel
A story of a complex family dynamic. Where love and rebellion go hand-in-hand. A story of a family who struggles to live, not just survive.Jesse, an older brother who enjoys fire. Kate, a teenager with a rare form of leukemia. Anna, the sister who was brought into the world, by genetic design, to be an stem cell/organ donor for Kate. Sara and Brian, the parents who live to make sure Kate lives.This book was written in the comforting style that Mrs. Picoult does so well; each chapters narrates a characters view of what is happening. You hear everyone's thoughts, their voices, bringing a silent comfort that you actually know the characters. I enjoyed this book immensely. It is filled with joy, sadness. It's topic is controversial (stem cell) and the ending shocked me to tears! -- Tears that envelope the message that ultimately, no matter what happens in life, life is so ultimately precious, to everyone.4.5 stars!

There must be better books on solar electricity
This book will leave you wanting. Wanting to stay on the grid! ... It lacks a lot but most of all it lacks Pictures, Illustrations, something to help visualize how to do what the author is talking about. Pick up any "how to" mannuel. What is it filled with? Pictures, Illustrations. This book has 3 maybe 4. Besides that, it is poorly written.The book is also, shall we say , "lacking in value". If you get my meaning. I have never done a review before but from the review guidelines, I assume amazon will not allow me to be any more blunt than that. Of course if you have money to burn you could use it for your wood store to fire your boiler to produce steam in your own personal turbine. Now there's a idea. Someone should write a book about it.

Golden Fox
If you have never read books by Wilbur Smith, I strongly recommend you do so. This author was recommended to me by the owner of a used book store after I said I was tired of reading Patterson, Baldacci Coonts, Crighton, and Connelly, to name a few. I wanted something different. I began reading Wilbur Smith and was delighted with the change of authors. I had never read many novels that take place in Africa. After reading one book I went back to the beginning of this series and read the entire series. Since I began reading him, I have read all of his books in his series which has been 20 so far. He is a writer that has a story line that keeps you coming back for more and more. His characters are realistic and his descriptions and plots are well written and intriguing. I typically intersperse other authors in my reading schedule, but I had a hard time doing that with him. I highly recommend this book.

THE BEST COMPUTER SPEAKERS OUT THERE
When I bought my new computer and used the speakers that came with it there was much noise interference coming from them. I went back to the store and they helped me try out many different speakers from low end to very high end. The interference was there on all of them. They said there must be radio interference near where my computer was located.Whatever the reason, I was very stressed. Then I remembered I had Creative Lab speakers with my dvd player for my 5.1 sound and loved them. So I searched on Amazon and these speakers came up. They were not expensive and I purchased them only due to the Creative Labs brand name. Magic. All interference is gone and the speakers work perfectly. The bass and sound quality is awesome as well.I highly recommend the Creative lab brand and especially these speakers. Remember that it is not the money you spend but the quality you get.

hang on to your vinyl
So Long, Bannatyne (1971) has the best overall sound of all the albums. However, there are problems here too. The sound quality is slightly sterile, and once again the vocals should be louder on some tracks. Equalization varies from song to song. The guitar solo in the middle of "Grey Day" seems to disappear instead of panning back and forth between the channels. "One Man Army" sounds good, but the mix isn't right. The strings in "Sour Suite" suffer due to the high end being rolled off.#10 (1973) suffers from entirely too much bass on most of the album. Compression rears its ugly head once again on "Musicione." "Miss Frizzy" sounds fairly decent, although the vocals (once again) should be louder. "Self Pity" is the only track on the album that sounds like it should. The rest of the album's second side has way too much bass and "Just Let Me Sing" is a compressed mess.

An abomination unto the lord. . .
It is appalling to me that anyone would produce this product and sell it as food. What's more appalling is that people eat it and not only support the misguided notion that this is something that could be considered food, but even go so far as to say that they ENJOY eating it, AND DO SO ON A REGULAR BASIS. If this product were made of meat, I would be faced with no other viable conclusion than to think that it was made from the meat products rejected by a dog-food factory. But since it is not meat of any kind, what am I to think. . . ? Is this some kind of weird joke. . . ? What IS this THING in this can? And WHAT IS THAT SMELL? And this gravy of which they spake on the label, do they mean this slime? The slime that is more gross than spam slime? SO MANY QUESTIONS. . .

"The Perfect Guide"
I love this guide! I use it everyday because I play Zelda64 a lot! I really like the free posters they give out! It tells you where all the G.S.'s are and Heart Containers! The map they give you are awesome, shows and tells whereall the items and important stuff are! Lastly those boss guides are killer! I have beaten the game already because of this awesome guide! "This guide will so get popular!" I really recommend this guide to all the Zelda64gamers out there that are stuck in somewhere in this difficult game or can't find something they need! Well good luck to all you gamers! Oh yeah and the free posters!(heh heh heh)

Dismal
This movie has no redeeming value. Mediocre skiing on terrible snow. Frozen suncups and runneled South American Cement. The whole concept is "Solitaire" which suggests people traveling solo in the mountains. Nope,they're in groups.As a ski-mountaineer, I understand that the mountains offer much beyond great skiing. I did not expect a Travis Rice video with the best riders doing the best tricks on the best snow. Adventure and overcoming hardships are wonderful and inspiring topics in a ski movie. An example would be Kyle Miller's Freerider. "Solitaire" is a collection of random shots in the mountains of South America with no context. Perhaps there are inspiring stories behind what the people in this movie are skiing, but you'd never know it. The epic-sounding Spanish narration has no real content.Its a shame because Sweetgrass put out "Last Light," a short ski movie on youtube, that is the best ever made.Don't waste your time or money!!!!

Superb
I don't have much to say. I think this album makes Radiohead's sound concrete. They've spent the last years gathering new sounds and ideas and now they are laying them out on the table and picking from them. Working to get a perfect mixture. Some say this is a re-hash of the same sound but its not. It's the same ideas. And they've earned the right to settle momentarily before going out again. A very political album without being direct. That shows artistic maturity. If you're a Radiohead fan then you don't even need to read this because I'm sure you've had your mind made up. They could have made an album full of kazoos and still would have found the perfect melody. Even their B-sides can't be touched by any other band. ALL HAIL TO THE THIEF!

Works really well - very happy
I installed Norton 360 on my IBM thinkpad. I ran update to get all the most recent updates and upgrades. So far I am very heppy and I've been using it for several months. I'm an advanced user, who prefers to work on a Mac, but needs to work on a PC for business. I have had no performance issues as mentioned by some users. Web browsing, file transfers, backup, all has worked fine. As one who appreciates simplicity this product really makes the PC experience better. It has been a simple set it and forget it. I don't have a lot of noisy alerts. I espeically like the automatic feature that runs scans , defrags and tunes up my pc when I am not using it. I wish Symantec would make this product available for the Mac for that feature alone.

Pet Owners Use Caution!
We have two smaller dogs, 13 and 14 pounds. They both loved to chew on these bones. They would chew for hours--until there was nothing left! Then one day one of them got sick. Within 36 hours he was gone! We are devastated! A piece of nylabone broke off and lodged in his intestine. It did not show up on X-Rays since it is a plastic substance. Always supervise your pet with their toys. You never know when something like this can happen. We have found that this is not an isolated occurrence. You can read other stories at this site: [...]

The Slide is a Blast
After reading some reviews about this slide I was worried it would not hold up. However, I had a birthday party for my 6 year old and I had 13 kids playing on this slide for about 3 hours. There ages ranged from 2 to 12 years old. There were no issues. You need to supervise the kids somewhat or they will do things it was not made for. It takes quite a bit of time to dry out. It was definitely worth the $$ and I highly recommend it. I'm 6' and 190 lbs and had a blast going down it several times. I don't recommend someone my size sliding down on a regular basis but it held up just fine. You will need to buy a container to store it, I bought a 55 gallon bin from Walmart and it barely fits, cover won't close. I recommend a larger container. Hope this helps someone who is undecided.

Crazy Freaky Lady
What is with the all caps! Shes not that important! On her website she said that her music is eclectic pop, I like to call it eclectic idiot! She was very very strange, she was also my music teacher in 4th grade. She liked herself more than she liked the kids and therefore we learned nothing that year. She said to us, and I quote her: this whole show will lead up to the grand finale... ME! Her belts were scary and I did not like them. Noone in the whole school liked her- not even those teachers who give everyone a chance. She only lasted one year- thank God! The CD is stupid and should not be bought. All the songs sound the same-like eclectic idiot music. Go ahead and ruin your life by buying this CD if you want to. My advice is to reap your own soul and save yourself- never condisder buying this ever again!!!!

Masterful fusion of visual and auditory art
Call it a statement. An analysis. Fine Art. A masterful fusion of visual and auditory art, i.e. Philip Glass at his best. Koyaanisqatsi shows us the ills of our modern world in a new light. It contrasts the beauty and grandeur of our natural world with its destruction. Despite the date of production, the film is applicable to the state of humanity today.It is an artist's, a monk's view of our hustling-bustling lives. A fresh world view is presented as if seen through the eyes of first century monk transported in time to the current era. It speaks to you at a deep subconscious level. This film leaves you with new desires, a reason to help make changes, and an urge for a more peaceful life. Koyaanisqatsi is unforgettable.

Different, but pretty good
So this book wasn't the usual for Anne. She actually created a good little mystery here. I think the book would have been better if she'd left out the vampires altogether, and allowed the main character to remain human. I found him to be sultry but stupid. But then again, what 18 year old isn't stupid? There are alot of characters in this story, and that takes some paying attention to keep straight. This detracted somewhat from the story. Her descriptions are spot on as always, and she doesn't shy away from some pretty unusual erotic scenes in this one. For those who have already read this book, I found the shower scene to be a little disturbing, and even more so when Goblin's true identity is revealed! I mean Yuck! But yeah it's a good read, and will keep you entertained with all the plot twists.

A good and fair game
This was a pretty good game for 1997, the controlles were fair, the gameplay itself was fair, I also liked the levels because they were all parts form the movie. Level 1 is your training in the basic D.I.D. Level 2 is where you're going threw the hero Gauntlet. Level 3 is where your in centour forest then fight Nessese. Level 4 is where you're on the big olive. Level 5 is where you battle the Hydra. Level 6 is where you battle Medusa. Level 7 is where you run away from the cyclops. Level 8 is where you battle the Titans. Level 9 is where you go threw the underworld. Level 10 is where you go threw Hades's place. Then level 11 is where you battle Hades. Well, anyway. When you run low on heath get some Herculade which is scatered all over the levels. So anyway. This game was origanal for it's time.

I cant think of anything good to say about this film.
This was my first viewing of this film. Maybe I was expecting more, but I felt let down by the whole story line. Al Pacino does infact do very well in his part which seems to pull you into the film. Its a dark and depressing look at the overly stereotyped S&M and cruising scene in the 70's/80's. The shocking or disturbing murder scenes, with the exception of the first, are dull and lackluster. There was nothing disturbing about them. Bigger drawbacks were the overall gay scenes were not convincing enough. So much looked staged and rehearsed, specifically the cruising scenes in the woods or city. It felt like people were trying to hard to act the gay parts. The ending is a let down. The climax of the movie seemed to peter out in a film that should have ended 15 minutes ago. There are some good points to the film itself, but I cannot think of any at this time.

Broken Virtual Squirmer
I often look at games coming and going in computer, and yet classic games always make a comeback time & time again for the computer, and the video game consoles. For Atari, they've really been doing this as a routine. For Snap!, they've been using Atari games as their own very low and not as useful. Their Millipede disc is the same as the one that Atari created for the arcades. The game really is alright at first, but you're really wasting your money on this version of Millipede. Even though the game is as addictive as it was years ago, it isn't worth the money buying this CD-ROM version of the classic game. You're wasting nearly $10 dollars for this. Instead, try to get the Atari Anniversary edition for the computer. It may be the same price, but you'll get more classics to play like Pong, Missle Command, Asteroids, Tempest, Centipede, and its sequel Millipede. The Snap! version is a waste of money.

A bear from Darkest Peru
Ha ha. Good old Paddington. This is apparently how Paddington is supposed to look like.I remember him differently: with a big black hat, no boots and a brown suitcase. In other words, I watched the BBC series "Paddington" as a kid. I didn't like it. I'm not sure why not. I think Paddington was too grumpy and completely obsessed with marmalade. I probably didn't like marmalade as a kid. Also, he sounded silly when he talked! Finally, the series was very strangely animated.Years ago, one could still purchase the BBC version of Paddington. It seems he is no longer available, so if you are a Paddington fan, you will have to buy this more colourful version instead. But then, it does seem to be the original.And remember: this is supposed to be a bear from...Darkest Peru.

A superb read with a brilliant ending
I bought Paperchase at the recommendation of a friend at work. It was a masterful story, wonderfully told. The protagonist, Ian Gidman, is easy to identify with - his struggle against his bte noir, Richard Tweedle - his devotion to his lover, Claire - his fight against other overwhelming odds. The agony builds, as does the ecstasy, and you simply can't escape. You've GOT to keep reading. Putting this book down part way through is not an option. There's double-dealing, unsettling family relationships, deep intrigue, loyal friendships, love, lust, greed, pain - it's one hell of a rollercoaster ride. I just read through the other reviews (16 at the time of writing this) and many of them say it better than I can. This is quite simply a book not to miss. It's a cracking good plot, brilliantly written. Buy it and judge for yourself. You'll not be sorry. (I'll bet you never guess how it ends before you get there).

Be careful on what you are getting
Kohler in their infinite wisdom has changed contractors in the construction of their oil filter. The black filter shown in the photograph is not what is often sold this year. They are selling a yellow painted filter using a Champion Laboratories "Eco" design with this part number. A quality oil filter has a metal interior with holes to allow the oil to flow through it. This metal cyclinder supports the paper filter element. The "eco" design uses a plastic grid with large openings. This does not fully support the filter and allows pieces of the filer element to pass into the engine. This naturally causes blockages which leads to engine failure. If you want a quality oil filter for your Kohler engine, use a Purolator L10241 (or PL10241) or the Wix 51348 as substitutes for this filter. The Champion Laboratores "Eco" design is probably worse than a Fram oil filter. I would give the "eco" filter a zero stars if that was possible.

My favorite books!!
I love this series! Do NOT let the name (His Dark Materials) fool you! This book is for anyone who loves adventure. I don't recommend this book to anyone under ten, and only if you read a lot at ten. I have read many, many books. These books and the Harry Potter books are my favorites. This book, however, DOES have a little bit more violence then some other series. That's OK, because Lyra Belaqua (a.k.a Lyra Silvertounge) makes that up. This book shows you the wonders of a similair world to ours, gyptians, armored bears, the North, and makes you really, really, REALLY want a daemon. There is one bad thing about this book. Finishing it!!

"Cinderella Man" is impressive!
"Cinderella Man" is impressive! Russell Crowe is powerful as Jim Braddock. Renee Zellweger is excellent as Mae Braddock. Paul Giamatti (Oscar nominated for Best Supporting Actor) is impressive as Joe Gould. Ron Howard's directing is excellent. The story by Cliff Hollingsworth and the screenplay by Hollingsworth and Akiva Goldsman is excellent. The music by Thomas Newman is excellent. The cinematography by Salvatore Totino is excellent. The film editing (Oscar nominated) by Daniel P. Hanley and Mike Hill is excellent. The casting by Janet Hirshenson, Jane Jenkins, and Diane Kerbel is excellent. The production design by Wynn Thomas is excellent. The art direction by Peter Grundy and Dan Yarhi is excellent. The set decoration by Gordon Sim is excellent. The costume design by Daniel Orlandi is excellent. This is one of the year's best! An impressive reunion for Ron Howard and Russell Crowe. Also nominated for Best Make-Up.

Cool New Stuff
Musically this is an awesome cd. Every song on this cd is awesome. The only thing is that this really isn't a look back at the last ten years. I mean some of it is, but alot of the songs are new. I mean, don't get me wrong, all of the new songs are great and worth the money. Also there is a problem with the track listing with the cd. All of the songs on the back of the cd are in the album, but in a different order. Also Blaze's "Juggalo Anthem" song is put in the middle and is not even listed, but it's a phat song so it's all good. The new songs are really good such as ICP's new one "It's Time" and Anybody Killa's "Hollowpoint" which is my favorate track on the cd. There are also some cool old tracks like Project Born with Esham and Myzery. Any Juggalos will dig this. Peace! MCL!

Dont waste your money
I just purchased a Zen Touch and this Belkin Tunecast II. The Zen is great, but the Tunecast is a piece of junk. The reception is poor at best and there is still static when you can manage to get a signal. I also have XM with a FM Transmitter(no it was not on at the same time) and upon plugging the Zen into my XM transmitter all was good. A good clear signal and plenty of music. To the person that said that it is only should work at 1-2 feet...You had better log in to Belkins site and read the specs on this unit. They say 10 feet and possibly up to 30. This thing is a piece of junk don't waste you hard earned money. I am still looking for a better way. If anyone has any suggestions please post them. I hope that I can save someone from wasting their money, but at least I can return it!!!

Great roomy sleeping bag!
Great sleeping bag, warm and strong. Nice and roomy to move you feet and legs around. I really don't like mummy bags. Enough room I can roll over. My last bag, the zipper broke when I turned over, and that was a good Coleman XL bag...not cheap. The only thing I didn't like about this was that it does not completely unzip all the way around the bag. I like to open them up sometimes and sleep with one open on the bottom and one open on the top. I also like to open them up when I wash and dry them, which I can still do, but the zipper stops at the bottom corner and doesn't open flat. Other than that, it was great. Very warm. So far have only used it in 35 degree weather though, but don't expect a problem in colder weather.

when diversity hurts
I read this because of the author's father, whose work I admired. While writing talent and wisdom would not seem to be inherited, this writer is frighteningly wise. In a world, where all of us live nearby, next door to, or in the same house as someone who speaks a different language, dreams a different dream, and both fears and hates the other, there is so much pain. We hurt ourselves and each other because of the differences. As the world shrinks, we have to learn to listen. I ached for these people, wanting them, screaming at them to sit down in a room together and listen to each other. To listen past the prejudices, past the stereotypes, the hate, the fear. But all we have to do is read the headlines every day to know how difficult, how impossible it is. Yet books like these can help. They make us see the deep, true connections where we meet, past the fear we let control us. Wonderful book.

It's about time
Mark Lanegan invented grunge. He left it behind. The 1980s passed and he had passed the torch. Lanegan was influential on the band Queens of The Stone Age. As a solo artist, he has done work inspired by Tom Waits and Nick Cave. You might expect something like The Valentine Six or Firewater. Early on Lanegan is much like that. But once he gets to songs like "Methamphetamine Blues" and "One Hundred Days" he shows his own style and true colors. Members of The Queens, Greg Dulli, and PJ Harvey show up on this record. They are mostly in the background. This record really gets better with every listen. "Death Valley Blues" is really wonderful. It's good to see a real originator do quality work.

Player not reliable
I purchased this just before the new year. It has been working until now, the second week of March. Although, even when it was working I could not get it to create playlists but at least it would play the music I put on the thing. Now all of a sudden the display screen comes up when I turn the unit on and I am not able to access any of the menus. Its frozen. I tried to exchange it through Amazon but the return center would not allow me to.I called SanDisk and they tried troubleshooting the problem. It turns out the thing is broken. They created a shipping label for me and I am returning it to SanDisk for a replacement. It sounds like this could have been avoided if I had downloaded their firmware updater on the SanDisk website. Whatever bug the unit has could have been fixed but now its too late. At least I will be getting a new one but I am not happy with Amazon for ignoring my request.

Stuck By This Maverick Fork
This Maverick RediFork certainly lived up to only part of its name . . . the maverick part. It wasn't "ready" to work properly and still doesn't work well, so I guess I'm stuck by and with this fork. There are two problems with it. (1) It only seems to register temperatures up to about 110-110 degrees and is not able to tell me when the meat reaches any temperature that is safely edible. (2) I also discovered what I would call a design flaw. One would think that the long-handled fork would be designed so that the user would be able to read the display with the handle away from the source of heat. Not so. Because the display is not installed so that it can be read with the tines pointed away from you while they are stuck in the meat,it is necessary to place the handle (with your hand on it) over the heat source in order to read it. This is very uncomfortable and dangerous. Needless to say, I am very disappointed with this product, but I'm stuck with it.

Sims... LOVE IT
Definitely love, love, LOVE the original Sims game. It's nice to have all the expansions in just 4 discs. The game has its down sides... there are no days of the week, so work and school are every day. This game is also harder to make friends than Sims 2 or 3. Lastly, the graphics are a bit rough and sims don't age up or die. But there is so much content and there are so many different aspects to explore, it's very much worth it! Also, your sims only get fired from their jobs if you miss 2 days in a row. So skip every other day to throw parties and make friends or gain skills, (unless you need the money.) The Makin Magic content is an absolute blast. There are so many spells and charms to cast and create. You can have a pet dragon! It also offers a lot of nostalgia for those of us that played the games when they came out.

No Bargain
I agree with the Editorial Review and the comments posted with this release. These are superb recordings of Purcell's great works. But there is a big problem with this package. This is a Virgin Veritas x2 pack. The original recordings have been bundled up in a space saving jewel case and sold at half the price of the originals. Unfortunately, this comes at cost to the potential buyer. Gone is the original artwork, gone are the original notes by Richard Luckett and Eric Van Tassel, and most seriously, gone are the lyrics of these great works. Unless you already own versions of these works that have the lyrics, this is not the place to start. I strongly urge you to acquire these wonderful works in their original editions from Virgin: Hail! Bright Cecilia on disc #45160 and Come ye sons of art on disc #45159 (for some reason, Amazon has these listed under the label EMI). This release is no bargain.

Simply Amazed
I ordered this with great skepticism. I've never had a problem training my dogs to be alert barkers only. Until now. A wonderful Goldendoodle. I've tried any and all methods short of the extreme stuff that's out there. Shake cans, clickers, "SSSST", and so on. I seriously didn't have much hope for the Pet Agree. Well, for me IT WORKED. Almost immediately. It worked for our other Goldendoodle also, for jumping up. All I do is say - NOT YELL - say "Quiet" as I push the button. They both stop whatever they're doing, and go into an instant sit. This, for our family at least, is a miracle. A real miracle. And it was so easy. I just wish I'd discovered this 2 years ago.
