Very entertaining!
|
Kostova clearly did a lot a research for this book. Thus the book is quite clever. The plot is tight. It's very suspenseful. The characters are very interesting. Overall, a very fun read. It is not your normal horror book - which I like. It's not gorey or gratuitous in any way. It's smart. It reads like a mystery. The only thing I was a little disappointed with, and it was a minor disappointment, was the ending, which wasn't quite as clever as the rest of the book. The ending was a bit conveninet, but just a bit.

This is a joke, right?
|
The book is so painfully simplistic, it looks as though it was made in one sitting. How could we possibly insult our children by making them think they're THIS ignorant?One child was swift to point out, "Does Larry have a last name, too? Or is he sharing the last name of Lilly? As in 'Harry and Lily Potter' do?And I had no choice but to confirm that yes, there is indeed a reason why these books are so.. uh... disturbing. They're related. And happily dating.Btw, the first book, "Larry Potter and his best friend Lilly..." you can clearly see in the book cover that Lilly, for a best friend, is a little too snug on the "personal space" touching. Even Ron wouldn't be caught in that pose with Harry and they're REAL best friends! So does that cover count as a spoiler? Cause for some strange reason "More than just friends" was more of a joke than a surprise. .Glad it was borrowed and not bought.And grats on little Kathrine smart enough to figure out the mystery behind the nonsense! <3

One of the best
|
This book is one of the best I have ever read. Loved the humor and the sensitivity of the first person character. Peck has such a wonderful way of creating pictures in my mind with his words. I can actually see the neighbors on the porch swing, dad hunkering down in the car waiting for the "horn blowing vandals", and the individual descriptions of the many people in his life brought the whole town to life. I manage a senior housing facility and read this book to them during our weekly reading time. They loved it and best of all could relate to many of the wartime references. It brought many stories out of them. I read it aloud to my husband as we were traveling downstate and all the way back home. Lots of laughter and comments. I have requests from both venues for more of his books and I will definitely do that. Wish I could have given it an even higher rating!!!!

Sweet movie- sucky commentary
|
Superbad is a surprisingly sweet story with very loveable characters. Plenty of vulgarity, but you knew that going in. If you don't want to hear the eff-word, or hear gross and tasteless (and honest) portrayals of adolescent boys talking (obsessing) about sex, then you'll hate this movie. Me? I loved it. Very sweet. Interesting story, funny script, and GREAT characters, with great performances all around. McLovin is unforgettable, and isn't that the mark of a great movie? Note: Although it doesn't affect your enjoyment of the movie itself, at all, the commentary on this really SUCKS. No direction to their pointless remarks, which don't really seem to be about the movie we're watching while they blather on. Zzz.

Fair; but better to see art by Bouguereau
|
Book is big but only fair. A lot of text -- somewhat interesting, but not profoundly so. The photos -- none are really titillating, if that's what you're after. The best art -- clothed or nude -- of this type is Bougeureau. See books (there are only a couple) about him. (I reviewed one.) Waterhouse is also good. But Waterhouse's women always have the same androgonous hard unfriendly faces. Bouguereau has more variety than Waterhouse very pretty faces as well as other parts. Even if all you want are titillating nudes, you are more likely to find it with Bouguereau than in this book. If lots of mood, but unpleasant faces is OK, Waterhouse gives you plenty of mood. Bouguereau also gives mood but in a greater variety. And all his body parts are beautifully rendered. If you want lots and lots of text, this book is fine. But even the text about Bouguereau is more profound than what is here.

It looks Cool....But That's About It
|
I've had the same exact experience with this truck as all the other moms here. I loved the idea of this toy. When my son opened it up he was thrilled. He tried to play with it right away, but the mechanisms are not easy to operate. You have to flip up the ramp to direct the cars to a different level. Some reviewers said they had a hard time figuring it out. I never figured it out. And the cars....I can't tell you how many times my son would cry out in frustration and I'd have to fish out stuck cars. All in all, I can't recommend this toy. It doesn't fulfill it's purpose. It's supposed to be able to be filled with cars, hauled around and unloaded. The entire time we had this truck we never, ~ever~ played with this without a tantrum from my 3 year old because there was more "fixing" than playing going on. I wanted to like this toy, because it's cool and I knew my son would just love it. But folks, honestly, it just doesn't work.

We are pleased with our toolbench
|
We got this for my son for Christmas. He is 6 months old and just loves to see all the colors flash around. He is starting to be able to push the buttons him self. He can't pull on the tape measure part yet though. I like it. I think the songs are catchy. There are several different songs. I like that is counts and does the abc's. It talks about colors too but there are only 3 different colors on it. I think it was a good buy and I would reccommend it. My friends 3 year old came over and it kept her attention for about 5 or 10 minutes then she would come back to it later. Like some one said even the best toy can't keep a child's attention for long!

Yeah, same for me...
|
I had a C86 for around a year, and got the blank-page problem that everyone else seems to have. Oddly, though, after turning it off for a couple of days, I turned it on and an apparent miracle had occurred. It started working again. Well that bought me several more months, but a few days ago, it went down for the count. The software told its usual lie about nearly empty ink cartridges. Hoping for another "miracle", I bought a fresh round of ink, and that turned it into a boat anchor: nothing but blank pages, except for the occasional wisp of cyan. Bottom line, this was a really good printer while it lasted, got good reviews back in December '04 when I bought it. I've noticed most of the bad reviews are from 2006. Lesson learned. Don't buy another Epson. My previous printer was a Canon BJC 4550 that lasted over 6 years, and still worked fairly well when I gave it away. I just bought an HP D4160.

Not worth buying.
|
I usually enjoy John Ringo's books, so when I saw this I bought it. Big mistake. If you feel you have to read this, borrow it. Chances are you'll enjoy the first 50 pages or so, which are pretty well written. From there on, the rest of the first story is laughable but marginally okay. The second is a complete waste. And by the time I got well into the third I gave up the Ghost. Assuming there is a second book in this new series, I won't be reading it. The sex in this is over the top weird and if you like that, great. I didn't. But I bought this as a good action novel, and it wasn't. The other reviews have pointed out the problems, and I won't repeat them; they're too numerous and I don't want to give this novel more of my time. End of story.

Grain filtered garbage
|
There are two Blu Rays of the film. The old and this new one. The old is grainy like the film itself. Unfortunately the compression is only MPEG2 and can't handle the grain properly. It looks like film with some compression artifacts on top. This new Blu Ray is the same transfer, just with large doses of digital grain filtering applied and then well compressed. It does not look like film anymore, it looks like a video game. A wax museum with CGI puppets and scenery. If that's your thing you will love it. I'll stick with the old BD and wait for FOX to come to their senses and give the unfiltered transfer an appropriate AVC encoding. Or better, redo the transfer so it's state of the art. Filtering older transfers to death so the anti grain crowd is appeased is just lame.

Best I've Tried
|
This is a great little facial groomer! I am "of a certain age" and was starting to spend more and more time tweezing stray hairs so I tried this razor since it had quite a few positive reviews. I am very pleased. It works nicely on my chin, and yesterday I used it on my jaw line to prepare for laser hair treatment and it shaved closely without any burn. It is fantastic on nose hair (and yes, that is embarrassing to write). Every other razor I've tried has pulled painfully and smelled gross, like oil. This worked smoothly and painlessly. My husband just had me order one for him. The only negative I found was changing the blades. I accidently broke one. Just be careful and follow the directions and I think it shouldn't be a problem.

Disappointed
|
This book was recommended to me by Amazon. I read Kate Morton's books, House at Riverton and Forgotten Garden, and was looking for something similar. I read these reviews and thought that "Grange House" would be perfect. Ghosts, an Inn on the Maine Coast, 1896...How could it go wrong? Well, it's tedious. The conversations between the characters are exhausting. I found myself constantly rereading phrases to see if there was some kind of double meaning....some information I was going to need to solve the mystery of "the story", which solved pretty quickly. I hoped there would be a twist and I would be wrong. In the end I felt let down. I've never written an Amazon Review before but I found these reviews to be unbalanced and that this book received too many rave reviews. I will probably read the author's next book, The Postmistress. Again, the plot sounds great. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Great when it works, worthless when it breaks
|
My second School Pro just burned out. That's two in 16 months. They won't get anymore of my money. Yes, it is a great sharpener when you get it, sharpens quickly and quietly. One day it just doesn't work. Typical quality, sadly; in this day and age. My search continues for a good, quiet, strong, RELIABLE sharpener. My Panasonic has been going for four years, but when it's tired, it just quits. It gets tired after about four student pencils. If you know students, you know this can be 15 minutes of what they call "sharpening". I need a sharpener that's smarter than a fifth-grader!

Great product, if your looking to become angry
|
In the words of JJJ: "Crap, crap, mega crap". This thing is bad. I got it, used for about an hour the next day, it worked just fine. Then I typed in a code that wasnt on the system yet but it was the wrong one, so I turned it off, and got another code. Typed it the new code and it worked. The next day, I used it and it worked, for about 10 minutes. It froze. The DS won't read the thing now. And on top of that, the tray that holds the games is wobbly. I tried for an hour to get this abomination to work, and it simply wont. But hey, if you enjoy products that feel fragile, look broken, have indescribably complicated, instructionless interface, and a usage time of about 1.5 hours, then by all means, go ahead and waste your money. What else could you possibly do with it?

Every selection sounds the same
|
The reviewer from Austin, TX is exactly right. Don't waste your money (not even for a used copy). I purchased this CD used from a local music store and ended up re-selling it back to them within a few weeks. All the selections sound the same, the beat is the same and all the background music sounds programmed. There are other artists out there that are much more original in their compositions. Try Johnannes Linstead, Luis Villegas, Oscar Lopez, Jesse Cook. Also, the reviewer is correct in their opinion of the Real Player audio. Many times I have purchased CD's that sound O.K. on the Real Player only to be disappointed when I play them on my home system. Try not to rely only on Real Audio samples when you purchase. You may be disappointed.

BUSH WON!

"How can you possibly discuss foreign policies in the middle east without mentioning Israel and its ties with the US ??"So one of these reviewers asked. How can you... well, USA exterior policy gives a huge S**T to Israel and whatever happen there between palestins and Israel. Let them blow themselves UP! All the money is going to Iraque War and let me know why they're still there. Sadam isnt there anymore. Mass Destruction Weapons werent there at any time. Probably Osama isnt. So Why? Vietnam didnt want USA provisory government and neither Iraque people will accept it.

Live the tale or read the story
|
This Redwall book was different from the rest. A big chunk of the story is a tale being told. Also there is no regular villan to fight. This is one of the better Redwall books because it has less fighting but more action and suspense. I especially liked when they first met Folgrim. He looked weak but he killed two rats in the blink of an eye.The book started with Martin living at Redwall. He takes a trip to the North shore. He leaves with some close friends. They find a band of weasels that are going to cook a squirrel. Once they free the squirrel, they find out his name is Chugger. His grandmother died one day so he went out on his own. They soon find shrews and an otter name Folgrim. Once at North shore, they take a ship to the tall rocks. There they find part of Luke's crew. One tells the story about Luke.You must read Martin the warrior first. This was another great book from Brian Jaques and an awesome book from Redwall.

My Westie is Svelte!
|
I had an overweight Westie mix for years. I decided to start counting his calories! I found that these have the lowest calories and a good amount of protein and other nutrients. I started feeding him 1/4 cup twice a day. He is a 14 yo and used to suffer from arthritis. He now has a waistline and runs as fast as my 4 yo silky. I really am pleased with this brand.Also, I bought this from Wag on Amazon. The bag came with small holes along both sides. These were most likely from some machine. Wag quickly replaced the item and recommended that I discard the damaged one. How awesome is that. Not only did they replace the item, but I felt confident that they would not just ship the bag to someone else, damaged and all!! Great company!

Same product you find in your Derm's office!
|
I have been using SkinMedica for over a year now. The result have been amazing for my skin. I'm in my late twenties and have all the early signs of sun damage and wrinkles. My skin is sensitive and dry. I also have the tenancy to get red and will often get whiteheads. SkinMedica has made a huge difference. my skin is more calm, clear and even toned. I initially searched out this product because it was getting so expansive to buy from my dermatologist. After reading mainly positive reviews I decided to take a leap and purchase the product here. Contrary to what some said, it is exactly the same product with all the bells and whistles just half the price. I will be purchasing my cream from here going forward.

Dark, grimy tales from the slums of New York City
|
Mobb Deep always used the studio to report from the battlefield (Queensbridge). What you get on this album is dark, realistic street-tales over grimy, scary beats. The music gets less grimier on some cuts, but it soon gets dark again. This CD is very good, but I can't give it five stars. The production on some tracks gets too dark and too slow, and damn near boring. Prodigy is a little overrated as an emcee. He is not bad, but he's not THAT good. His voice gets rather annoying, and he doesn't even rhyme all the time.Nevertheless, this is very good album, and it contains one of the best songs in hip-hop of all-time. Namely "Shook Ones Pt. 2". I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys underground hip-hop. If you began listening to Mobb Deep when Hell On Earth or Murda Muzik came out, you may not like this album. But give it a try, alright?

REALLY DESERVES '0' STARS....
|
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME and MONEY!!! Don't even bother purchasing this 'rack', as it will have you pulling your hair out (and your clothes on the floor in a heap....). The only part of this garment rack that is sturdy are the top steel bars (that the hangers hang from). The inventor of this item should be fired! Despite reassembling and even gluing the bottom 'supporting connector bars', the rack fell apart 3 times within the first day. Fun when you come home from work and clothes are on the floor and wrinkled.......I recommend you not even consider this item and save your money to purchase the commercial steel garment rack on this same site. I returned this item and purchased the other, and finally now know what 'getting your monies worth' really stands for. The other rack in indestructable, strong, and moves easily from room to room. If you purchase the commercial rack, you will love it and have it for many years !!!

Great for skin, will NOT cure problem area skin
|
This was recommended to me at a spa, I politely passed. Thought it over for a couple of months and bought it for myself for my b'day. I really like it. Be careful to not "overbuff" in some areas or a shine might develop. This is great for the shoulders and back. This is well made, I made sure to buy one with a charger. Being able to use this in the shower is wonderful. I recommend it. It is as loud as my Braun toothbrush. As others have said any cleaser is fine. It does not clear up acne but it certainly allows a healthy glow of skin to be seen. The feeling is nice smooth skin... I think certainly worth it. Just don't expect miracles, simply a well constructed tool to help your skin.

no wasted words, to the point and extremely helpful
|
Linda's book was easy to read and comprehend. I enjoyed the humor and the honesty. Although, I did not agree on some of the titles Linda used as examples, I did see the reasoning behind those decisions. I rented most of the films and looked for all the qualities that were pointed out. I read the book cover to cover, and then went back to certain areas that most interested me. I studyied it like a text. Then, I went back and looked at it again. My dad and I had done some films together, but he did all the "real stuff",so now on my own, I need the do's and don'ts. It was written in a cute way that was entertaining, and easy to utilize. Good job, Linda. And, thanks for helping the "unknowns".

Caught my attention
|
In 1978 this book caught my attention at one workshop. It has funny pictures and it is easy to read. It is based on A Course in Miracles. Throughout the years i must have give away around 50 of them. I have also decided to translate it to Czech, my native language. The book was the bestseller even in Communist Russia. It has just a few basic lessons that entertain a possibility that all our problems stem from conflicting thinking. We can train our mind to reverse it. For example a lesson: I am never upset for the reason I think, can help you to relax and look at thinks differently. The world is the mirror of our mind and we can change our thoughts and see the world in a different light. We cannot change the world, but we can change our mind about the world by deciding to change the thoughts that are causing us pain. We are always in charge and all power is within. We can let go of our unloving beliefs and be happy.

Do not buy this smoker
|
I bought a Great Outdoors gas grill several years ago and like it. I thought the smoker would be the same quality. It is not. First, the smoker came damaged in several places, enough so that the door would not close. Second, it is not made of heavy gauge steel, it is more like the steel around air conditioning ducting in your attic. Never used it, and have been trying to return it ever since. The only thing worse than the smoker is Amazon's customer service. I have not been able to get it retuned, they are not responding. The smoker is made in China, they used to be made here. Evidently Great Outdoors has been sold a couple of times, and now is a big supplier to Wal-Mart which explains how they have gone from high quality to tin metal. I researched this smoker and found mostly good reviews on barbeque sites. But they are a couple of years old, from when these things were made here. Overall, this has been a very bad experience. I will not be continuing as an Amazon customer.

Everyone has their bad days, I guess
|
First, let me say that I am a DT fan since "Images and Words". They are one of the few bands playing that gives me some hope that the industry can recognize talent once in a great while. Being this is a DT album, I had tremendous expectations when I first started listening to this CD.Unfortunately, history will probably record this effort as their collective low point. The album is good, but it is not up to DT quality. Take the first disc and use it as a coaster for your beverage. Sip on it while you enjoy the second disc. Not, that it is a masterpeice, either. The whole album has the feel of a band which came in the studio each morning trying to wing it. Confident that their sheer technical talent would carry the day.I can only hope that fan comments will force them to go back to the studio to correct this study in mediocrity. This is the surest way to erode a loyal fan base. Better luck next time around, guys. Until then, I'm still a fan.

Nothing special
|
I picked up this book, excited to find another christian romance series from an author I had never read before. About halfway into the book, I realized why. The writing in this book is probably something similar to the books I wrote when I was thirteen. The plot was rushed and pointless, the "christian" characters were fake and unrealistic, and the romance? I can't stand stories of unrequited love when suddenly a light bulb clicks - "Oh, she's so pretty and smart and wonderful. Why didn't I see it before? I must be in love!" THAT is the epitome of forced, and I'm not exaggerating one bit. I did finish reading the book, but at the expense of a wasted afternoon. The story idea had promise, but lacked a better writer. I now have another author I know to avoid.

Think of it as Rikimaru's Revenge
|
I would've given this game a 4 star rating, but you can create your own missions! If you like stealth games like Metal Gear Solid, then this is for you. You can be two Ninjas....Rikimaru(boy) and Ayame (girl). Your goal is to keep away from the guards....and kill them without anyone noticing. You can use 22 Ninja Items, some magical (Vanishing Tree makes you disappear to another place in a flash of leaves), some not(Grappling Hook anyone?). Rikimaru is armed with a deadly Katana and Ayame two daggers. You can do front flips,and back flips, and you can creep along walls. You can crouch so the enemy doesn't see you, and you can breath underwater with the help of a bamboo pole. One of the best features of this game is the 1-hit Stealth kill. If you can manage to run up behind an enemy without them noticing, you can kill them silently. Overall a great game, but a little bloody.

I loved this book!!

Hiya all! I loved this book! (You read the subject line) My favorite part was when Rachel, gone bear, Jake, gone tiger, and Tobias, as his hawk self, were creating a distraction. Rachel was mopping the floor like a pro, and Jake was holding the mopping bucket while Tobias flew in circles and yelled TSEER TSEER TSEER!! "Um....Um...Is that a bear?" "Yeah" "What's it doing?" "It's...It's mopping" "Are we nuts?" "No, it's the bear that's nuts. That's carpeted up there." Lol!! Well, anyone who hasn't read this will enjoy this book alot. Hi Hawkspeed! I love you!Coras-Semitur-Rilli

I cannot rate this book high enough
|
I have been using her book since the early 1990's. It has the best pictures and presentation. She doesn't just write out the recipes, she teaches you what a cheesecake is all about. There is a great little section on Tips that really give the reader the idea of what is happening with the cheesecake when it is in the oven and how to serve it. In addition, she helps the reader to be able to modify the recipes that she gives, and make them their own. You can alter the recipes to handle different size pans, or adding or substituting different ingredients too. I have given this book out to many people over the years. When I bought it, it was in hardback only. But since 1994, it was only in paperback. I am now very glad that they have put it out in hardback again. Praise you Mary Crownover!

Finally! A Monkees collectible book!
|
I am late on reviewing this book but had to comment. I LOVE this book. Very goog work and research! Great photography! It's so nice to see someone put this much effort in a Monkees collectible book. My only complaint is the records are not valued correctly. We need a Monkees record collecting guide. If not for values, just to see the great world wide covers of the albums, single and EP's that differ from country to country.Marty Eck ( Is that his real name?)bought most of the items in this book. Since most of us could never afford such a collection or FIND some of these gems, this is a great coffee table book. Again with putting values on collectibles, any kinds, is a matter of supply and demand.To me, Ebay is where I usually can find recent values. Being a Monkees record collector, I am thinking of joining forces with a major colector in the UK to create the book I always wanted. This book is a great asset to anyone's Monkees collection! Buy it!

"Got To Give It Up" is incomplete!
|
I downloaded this album Saturday night (2/21/09) for the sole purpose of getting the long version of "Got To Give It Up" (disc 2 - track 11) which the site says is 11 minutes 52 seconds long. You cannot buy that track alone. After the download completed I noticed that the track was actually only 8 minutes long. It cut off the last few minutes which, in my opinion, are what make the song unique. The other songs appeared to be fine as I played the album. I wrote a letter to customer service and they quickly responded. I was given a full refund and they acknowledged the problem. I was told it would be fixed in the coming week.So, my low rating is not regarding the album. Its obviously a great album. Also, I'm not criticizing Amazon. I think they handled this extremely well (assuming the track does get fixed). What I'm saying is keep an eye out on this track.

The Land Before Time with a video missing
|
I received this item and wrapped it and gave it as a gift to 2 small children, ages 5 and 7. They opened it and found that one of the four items was missing. That is, it was four videos and one of the covers was empty. The children kept the 3 that were included. I took the empty cover and contacted Amazon. I was told that I must return the entire package for refund. I did not want a refund, I wanted the missing video sent to me. I am not going to tell the 2 little children that they have to return their gift. Amazon may keep that item, I will do without it and look for the item that was missing, elsewhere. I am not happy with Amazon's handling of this order. I will be very surprised if I find this review on Amazon.

High Maintenance
|
Very disappointed with the amount of cleaning required. And it's a messy job. Condensation builds in the grinder with each use causing excessive accumulation of ground coffee that sticks to the inside of the grinding chamber and other places. Even whole beans will stick to the side of the chamber. You have to take the grinder out and wash it. Water alone will not do it though. You have to wipe the remaining residue away with a paper towel. Say good bye to clean finger nails. Have owned a few self grinders. None of them came close in maintenance. The basket chamber also has a cheap plastic construction. Recommend against.

wow
|
Let's see, what can be said about this album that has not been already said...well, the fact that these guys have one of the thrashiest solos I have ever heard. I believe the song "My Spirit Will Go On" alone is worth the price I paid for this album. I can't really say much about the damn ballad, I skip it all the time (one star off for that). Other than that, great album.For people who are into crap like Godsmack (and love every other band that sound like it), do not pick this one up. This will come up as cheesy and complicated for people who want "power-chords-o-rama" with a vocalist that sound like a bootleg Eddie Vedder or a bootleg Layne Staley (R.I.P.) rather than actual technicality and talent. For the Fear Factory crowd, a most definite "listen-to". That goes also with the Slayer fans and every other Black Metal and Swedish Death Metal fans. The thrash freaks should welcome this into their library. For Metallica fans, well...JUST GET THE DAMN ALBUM!!!

Long Read
|
I wish I didn't have this issue with not stopping something I have started, because I certainly would have stopped at the beginning. But, I hoped it got better. The constant joking/sarcasm was very distracting to the story. I kept waiting for the "ba da bum" drum roll after each sentence. Instead of trying to be so cute, the story should have been worked on a little more. I actually had to start skimming the ending, just to get through it. It took me over a month to read this( I usually read a book in a few short days), I had to force myself to pick it up. The ending I thought was a little rediculous. A couple about to die, playing house. The man who couldn't say two words about his feelings through the whole book, all of a sudden couldn't shut up. It was just a poor book.

from hot dog stand to billionaire in 3 months!
|
I too was reluctant to purchase this shirt. Wolves seem so 70's to tell you the truth. Well my curiousity got the best of me and I bought one of these shirts. I put the shirt on and went into the business I own which has been hit by a bad economy and we haven't sold much in the last year. Well things have changed at the hotdog stand while wearing the three wolves shirt. First of all I have never seen so many sexy super models in string bikinis in my life, especially up here in Anchorage. But the first day I must have had 50 of them buying hot dogs and asking me for much much more. Now I'm 10 times more the man than I was before . And who knew they loved hot dogs. Now I have 30 people working for me running their own hot dog stands and I'm buying and selling real estate up here in Alaska! Palin even asked me out and she's married! Thank you Three Wolf Moon t-shirt! Thank you.

"I too was reluctant to purchase this shirt.",
"Wolves seem so 70's to tell you the truth.",
"Well my curiousity got the best of me and I bought one of these shirts.",
"I put the shirt on and went into the business I own which has been hit by a bad economy and we haven't sold much in the last year.",

Super Purchase!
|
I love this product so much that I have TWO! (After three years, mine needed to go into the shop, and I could not live without it for the two weeks for shipping and repairs. Plus, I had three cats and was considering purchasing a 2nd one.) This is an awesome product! Very reliable. Super customer support. I have both bone and black. Would suggest bone as the litter rubs onto globe. Less noticable on bone/beige. I cannot tell you how much I love this product. Without it, I would not have my cats! Just note that it is rather large. Mine "stick out" in my townhouse. However, when I move into my single-family home, I am looking for a laudry or utility room to house my robots. Cannot recommend enough!

great for my belly!
|
Currently 29 weeks. I got this last month because I wanted support mainly for my belly. I would normally use pillows to support my legs and belly but got tired of having to shift the pillows every time I turn at night. It is hard enough to turn at night, not to mention shifting everything to make myself comfortable. So I bought this pillow. It is actually very comfortable and replaces all other pillows that I have to use (head, leg, & belly). This also supports my back too, which is nice. The belly is getting larger and heavier now, so thank goodness that I got this pillow. I definitely recommend this product.I have a California King bed and this really takes up half the bed. I asked my husband before I purchase this pillow. He was amazed at how large it was.

EDDIE HATES ANIMALS......SO OBVIOUS
|
Did you know that Eddie Murphy doesn't really like animals? Most of the scenes where him and animals were talking were taken separately, sometimes using a double. And that really showed, his acting was just not convincing.His lack of affection to the animals was just so obvious. Remember the scene when Eddie throws out the Rats? Those hands that holding them rats weren't even Eddie, that was a double.Why are the animals so human?? How come they never fight with other animals ? Also, so much ANIMAL-STEREO-TYPES. That was a FERRET, yeah I know that Ferrets are in the weasel Family but, you don't call animals by the specie....Its rude to Ferrets and Ferret owners. They should've called them ferrets. You don't say "My canine Jack is bla blabla....."Stupid dumb movie for simple-minded. Not a good movie for Animal lovers.

GTA4 Rules!!!!
|
I will keep my comments simple. For those who have never played the GTA series, this latest installment will blow you away!! I suggest playing Vice City and San Andreas first, then play GTA4 on an LCD TV last. I have a personal connection with GTA 4 because I'm originally from the Astoria section of Queens, NY. Let me tell ya, the attention to detail is amazing compared to NYC. The First thing I did before I started any missions or mayhem, was simply steal a convertible, and drive around the city. Times Square is awesome at night, and if you drive down by the Hudson river at dawn, you can catch a glimpse of the sun rising over Liberty City AKA Manhattan!! Unlike the cartoon-ish look of Vice City, which I enjoyed also, GTA4 has a very gritty, urban look which gives the player a sense of realism. I wish the twin towers were still standing, that would have been an awesome sight as well. Rockstar, has once again, out done themselves!!

crystal clear, yet absolutely poetic
|
I have many informative books that on naked eye astronomy. This is my favorite hands down. Chet Raymo has to be one of the most eloquent scientific writers in the universe. If you're looking for bare bones star charts that you can quickly reference, or tables of brightnesses, etc, this is NOT the book you're looking for. If however, you're interested in appreciating the beauty of the nightime sky, with explanations of the history behind the science, and crystal clear explanations of the "geometry" of our galaxy... what we can see in the nightime sky and why it changes the way it does, then this is the one. The language Chet uses is pure poetry. Not so much a book to be taken outside for use as a star reference as one which turns the night sky into a beautiful story. You read this one in sections. In a comfortable chair. Inside where it's warm. Then you put on your coat. Go outside. And look.... up.

PIECE OF JUNK SAVE YOUR MONEY
|
I was shocked at how useless this thing was. I would turn this unit on immediately when I come home from work. The initial reading on the unit would say something like 95% (house was all closed up). The unit could not even drop the room temperature below 90%. After about 1hr the exhaust hose would radiate so much heat into the room that the unit made a better heater than air conditioner. The vents blow upwards as if to cool the ceiling. You cannot adjust them vertically. The unit is also very loud.I returned the unit after giving it a try for about 3 weeks. The other pain is returning this. You have to put it back in the box it came in with all the paper work and then carry this 85 pound box to a fedex place to have it shipped back to the manufacturer. You have to pay shipping to send it back and you are not refunded that amount. Plus there is a 6% restocking fee.Good riddance.

SSN: a dud tin-fish
|
Tom Clancy's "SSN" is a book written around acomputer game. As such, it is terrible trash. Here's theplot: A US Los Angeles-class submarine sinks three quarters of the Chinese navy and one quarter of the Russian navy without suffering a scratch. Here's the dialogue: "Make tubes ready in all respects . . . tubes fired electrically . . . units from tubes running hot, straight and normal . . . two explosions." Repeat, as needed, for about three hundred pages.

Beaters locked up on 2 mixers! Cheap plastic, NOT chrome.
|
This is an overpriced piece of junk! I bought my first Dualit mixer in May 2011. I am not a professional baker, just a home baker who uses a mixer 1-2x per month and was looking for something that might last...thinking I'd get what I paid for. First I was disappointed that the "chrome" was actually plastic, but I can overlook that. Less than a month later, the beaters locked up and the mixer died. Amazon issued the exact replacement. 6 months later, the same thing happened. Now I'm past the 1 month return period, though the mixer has a 1 yr limited warranty, and I must deal with Dualit...not looking forward to that. Save your money...this is not a "professional", nor professional grade mixer by any means. I've had better runs from $20 mixers. Read the recent Dualit reviews...all of their mixers are failing for the same reason.

Not really for 3yr olds. has error in game
|
My child loves Garfield so I figured this game would be perfect for her since it is suppose to be for 3-4 yr old children. It is actually a little to advanced for preschool child as they usually can't read and spell to many words yet. The other reason I give this game 1 star is because there is an error in one of the sections. You are suppose to count the objects and then drag the matching number to the box. There are 3 sets of objects. On one page there were 6, 10,9. Well both me and my husband both with our daughter counted two sets of 9 objects but the was a only a 10 left to drag to the last box. This particular page was always wrong because there was no matching number even though there was suppose to be a number that matched. This is very frustrating to a preschool child!!! Manufacturer really needed to test this game before releasing it with an error. I did not pay very much for the game maybe this is why it was so cheap.

Great camera. Bought it for the size
|
Well... I bought the camera for the size and it has been a great little camera. The only thing I would change about the camera is to improve on the flash. It takes terrible pics indoors in poor light. You have to be right up on the subject in order for the flash to be effective. Took it on my hike to Yosemite's Half Dome and it took great pictures. I plan on buying a bigger better camera in the future buy I will keep this one for the size. Seems like everybody says to buy and extra battery and memory.... well do it. I did. 2 64mb CF's and 2 batteries. Memory is cheap these days.

web slinging fun
|
The best spidey side scroller. The best game was the spiderman for the higher platforms (roaming in 3-D) but this is a close second. The graphics flow smoothly and are colorful. the comic book sequences look great. the gameply is fun. the sound is good. the replay value is not bad. it is a side-scroller. my only annoyance, not being able to hang straight down from a web attached to the ceiling. a small inconvienience, but this is one of the best spiderman games I've played. A must have for spiderman fans!

Where's the rest of it?
|
I'd first like to say that this movie was not worthy of the title Les Miserables. The actors would have been wonderful in a movie that was more like the book. The truest character was Javert. The begining showed promise but the climax was disappointing. What happened to Enjolras? He was watered down to a little nothing role while Marius led the revolution! And Eponine? She was mentioned in the credits but i saw nothing of the love she had for Marius! Her absence robbed Marius of a vital subplot! What happened to the Thenardiers? They are the stories only other main villains besides Javert! And what of this romantic fling Valjean had for Fantine? He liked her sure, but in this film Valjean is almost having an affair! And Valjean's revalation to Cossette came way too soon not to mention that Valjean would NEVER have beaten Cossette!!! In short, the acting was very good, but the actors needed the entire story to act in!

Episode List

In the second half of Season Six we continue to slip away from the early film noir feeling of this series, and more into a sixties flavor. The acting and writing are not at their peak. But Perry Mason is a great show no matter what. Here are the episodes:1. The Case of the Prankish Professor2. The Case of Constant Doyle - Bette Davis filling in for an absent Raymond Burr (who makes a short appearance on the phone, in his bathrobe)3. The Case of the Libelous Locked - Michael Rennie filling in for Raymond Burr4. The Case of the Two-Faces Turn-a-bout - Hugh O'Brien filling in5. The Case of the Surplus Suitor - Walter Pidgeon filling in6. The Case of the Golden Oranges - Perry is back!7. The Case of the Lawful Lazarus8. The Case of the Velvet Claws9. The Case of the Lover's Leap10. The Case of the Elusive Element11. The Case of the Greek Goddess12. The Case of the Skeleton's Closet13. The Case of the Potted Planter14.

The Author Pulled Out A Gun And Shot The Plot To This Book In The Head
|
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!! ZERO STARS!!!This book HAD everything going for it up until the last 6 pages. That's all it took for the author to pull out the biggest Deus Ex Machina in recent American history. On top of this pathetic literary device, the author threw in exploitations of not one, but TWO tragedies.I was wrapped up in a lie for the first 479 pages. I could hear the 800-pound gorilla settling into the chair beside me as soon as the epilogue ended and the main story began. I knew 100 pages out that everything was closing in on the plot. I had hopes that the 800-pound wouldn't ruin the ending. So why am I complaining? Because I wasted a week of late night reading on this book. The 800-pound gorilla stood up and choked the life out of the plot.What a despicable use of actual lives to sell this fictional garbage.

alright so this game has been out now for a little while. and granted there are better games now. but if your not to sure about the whole trucking concept and want to try it or dont have alot of money? this game is perfect because it isnt the best but it gives a good idea of what you get in the others and is really cheap. the difficulty level is pretty good. the trucks are done well inside and out. and the sound is alright. for the money this game is a steal. hope i helped you out. if you are looking for something better tho there is a new trucking sim. game comeing out this october called rig'n'roll. might want to look at that site.

COOOOOL Like Frozone!
|
This is not a perfect game. The main flaw is that it is a short game. Some would say the other flaws are that the solo game is meh and that the game is too easy. This is probably coming from 30 year old men. kids will love this. It is light, and very fun. The action puzzles aren't too hard to figure out. THe game actually lets you play with two players at once throughout the entire game. This is perfect for siblings. Not unlike lego star wars for two players. Mr. Fantastic is by far more fun to play, but playing as Frozone ain't to shabby. Bottom Line: If you are looking for a fast paced great two-player game. THis is it. Buy it Now.

Better than Waffle House
|
This is a tremendous product. It arrived in plenty of time for Christmas so we had to wrap it to keep from using it until Christmas. It was the first package opened. We whipped up some batter, sprayed the waffle iron with Pam and started cooking. The first to the last waffle turned out perfectly. It's so handsome that it stays on the kitchen counter, ready for action whenever the hungries hit. Cleanup is virtually non-existant and if you overfill it the removable tray catches the spill and you just rinse it clean. It's an amazing appliance and well worth the money. It should last a lifetime. I highly recommend it. Kids will love it too!M. Meyer,Larkspur, CO

just what I wanted
|
I ordered this through the ace hardware website (cheaper), but it's the same ladder. It's beautiful. The finish is very dark (darker than picture), but it's a nice finish. The ladder is heavy and I imagine will last for years. We just had cabinets installed to the ceiling (I wanted more storage), so I wanted a nice-looking ladder that I could keep in my kitchen. This is perfect. It DOES easily fold. I'm not sure what the problem is for the other reviewers, but there is a little wood piece that sticks out of the top rung. If you push it in toward the rung, the ladder folds very easily. Mine came with a sticker on that wooden piece, pointing where to push to fold. Perhaps the other reviewers didn't have that.

"ABSOLUTELY THE WORST RACING GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!"
|
This game is truly awful. It is, without a doubt, the WORST racing game I have ever played. Racing games I played on my old Sega Genesis were better than this boring, stupid game. The cars look ok, but they're not half as good as the ones in "GRAN TURISMO 3". They're just not fun to race. You can only race certain cars on certain tracks and that just plain STINKS! Even the opening movie is BORING. Two vettes endlessly racing down the highway for what seems an eternity.Take my advice and stay clear of this game. There are better racing titles out there like "BURNOUT", "NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND", "MIDNIGHT CLUB 2", "GRAN TURISMO 3" and even "FORD RACING 2". Try one of them but forget this game. It is TERRIBLE! -George Bauch.

Not for me
|
Sorry, this book lost me 1/4 the way through. First she tells us not to wash our towels every week. What? You've only been changing your towels once a week and now you think that's too often? Then she says to wear our clothing longer without washing them. Well, okay. Until she makes a joke about knowing how to stand upwind from the other person. Losing me a little bit here. Then she tells us not to bother with dusting or vacuuming the house or mowing the lawn. Huh? That's when I closed the book. If drying myself with a stinky towel, dressing in dirty clothing and living in a filthy house with an overgrown lawn is the simple life, it's not for me.

Problem with refinisher!!
|
I recently used a product from Minwax called Antique Furniture Refinisher. I've ruined 5 kitchen cabinet doors($500 replacement cost). The instructions on the can say to use steel wool. I did and the product reacted with the steel wool and caused small particles from the steel wool to embed into the grain on the light oak cabinets. The doors now have black spots all over them. I talked to Minwax and sent them digital pictures of the doors. Their reply was the pictures were not clear enough and their product could not have caused the problem I described. I got no help from them. The second time back to store, with my destroyed door, I was told I shouldn't have used the steel wool. They sold me some stripper and I tried unsuccessfully to correct the problem. Warning! Do not follow the instructions on the can.

Wow, Great reception
|
I had an old Linksys WUSB11 connected to my Tivo series 2 to link it to my wireless network. It was slow as a dog! My signal strength hovered around 7 to 10% and often the Tivo would fail in it's attempts to download files. I just installed this Tivo G adaptor and my signal strength increased to 94%. Now my downloads are much, much faster! I don't know why I didn't upgrade before. Installation was a snap. I unplugged the old one and ran the new cable w/ this one. The WUSB11 uses a standard USB connector on both ends and this Tivo one uses a miniUSB on the device end and standard USB connector on the Tivo side. I went to the settings / network page on the Tivo and directed it to connect to my existing wireless network and it connected. The key thing is that I did NOT have to restart the Tivo or reset the network to get this to connect - it was very, very simple

Air Force one - lost
|
This is one of the worst movies I have seen. I love Harrison Ford movies, but this one is a stinker. The special effects look like they are from the 50's. I just watched Top Gun and Star Wars. Both of them had better arial shots. The plot was a die hard rip off. Talk about suspending disbelief. This is about as phoney and contrived as they come. I like far fetched movies like the Matrix, but this is just plane (ha ha) silly. The fundamentals are all wrong. No character development. Why didn't they go ahead and make the president a former wrestler who happens to be a ninja war hero? I haven't been this disapointed in a movie since CONGO.

A piece of junk
|
I believe this is the first negative review I've posted, but I simply must. This product is essential useless unless you notice the keyword "garlic" in the product write-up. What that means is: If the thing you want to dice is as small as a clove of garlic, you should be able to do that. Anything else you have to cut into bite-sized pieces and then put them in, chunk by chunk, and maybe the chopper will slice through them. I've tried onions and eggplants -- both relatively soft vegetables. From the first push down the chopper sticks and I literally have to yank it back so that the blades come out (not always successfully) of the chunk of vegetable. It doesn't matter what I put in. I thought this would be an eco-friendly food processor for small items in a small kitchen. Forget it. It's faster to grab a sharp knife and a cutting board and just get to it. Do not waste your money.

It's time for Remix!!!
|
I like it. I just loved Hybrid Theory and I think that this idea, to make remixes of the songs on their debut album is just great. Besides the songs from Hybrid Theory, they also made remixes of another two songs. These are My{Dsmbr (My December) and H! Vltg3 (High Voltage). My personal favourite songs are: P5hng Me A*wy and H! Vltg3. Another great songs are Enth E Nd and Krwlng (I especially like the easy beginning at this song). I also have to mention PPr:Kut which is remixed really great by Cheapshot/Jubacca/Rasco/Planet Asia (there's much more rap in it). This would be my favourites, but that doesn't mean that other songs aren't good. They're great. I think that Linkin Park and their guests (for example: Aaron Lewis, Jonathan Davis, Jay Gordon and others) did a great job putting this cd together.

Warning

Do not purchase.The company advertises that the price includes free website access. Once you purchase the book, the company responds by asking a list of personal questions when you attempt to access their site. The book includes an access code but no password. They refuse to give a passcode until you have answered personal questions.What if you dont want your personal info in someones database? Thats too bad. Apparently the web site / software isn't quite free once you have purchased the book. Boycott this book until they stop asking personal questions that are none of their business. Their excuse is that they need this info to list a student in their database. Do you really think college students should be bullied into giving up personal data? If sales falls off, perhaps they can figure out how to create a unique number in each book so that account numbers are unique. This would mean all a student would need to do would be to choose a unique password and sign on the web site.Do Not Purchase

Love the Kindle2!
|
Fantastic from a usability point of view. Very well thought out. The only issues I have are minor in comparison:- It's a little slow turning the page. Paging through a chapter (sometimes search isn't what I want) is a bit of a chore.- It only seems to have 1 font (normal, bold & italic). For technical magazines & books that I read a lot, code samples look awful because of the wrapping. A smaller, mono-spaced font would be great.- Some pictures appear very washed out, especially screen shots from computers. Apparently, there are no options when converting the pictures so that the publisher can choose hi-contrast.- Magazine-type publications should start at the table of contents instead of page 1. I rarely read a magazine starting at page 1 and read all the way through. I go to the articles I'm interested in.For all these minor issues, I wouldn't dream of giving up my Kindle2. Fantastic product! I never have to travel with a bag full of books and magazines again.Mike

Pokemon Green: Remake but best
|
Rumors have been spread that this game, when it comes out, will be boreing since its a remake of the original versions Red, Blue, and Green, but its not. The game takes place in Kanto and is like the other four, but seven new islands called the Rainbow Islands, have been added so you can collect them all. Plus, this game has all the pokemon, but you have to trade to get them all. I have played it in both english and Japenese ( people have translated it) and it is a quite decent game. Plus you can get National Dex so all 386 pokemon can be displayed once you have 60 pokemon and challenge the Elite Four twice with more powers and techniques the seond time. Its a lot of fun and it has the best graphics ever and it talks and has chat!!! I cant wait till September 9th!!! Im buying mine now and its gonna be great!!!! Trust Me!!! I have played it!!!

Poorly and illogically constructed
|
Many times in the reading of this book I'd find myself lost in the discussion. Then I'd realize why. While trying to explain one concept, they'd be referring to other concepts which have not yet been discussed. For example, in the JSP section (chapter 12), in trying to explain expression language, functions, etc, they kept referring to taglibs, tld's, etc, as though the reader should have a firm grip on these things. But they're not discussed until chapter 15 - Custom Tags. This was just the last straw which prompted my to write this review. But the book is full of this stuff. Also, there's no explanation anywhere of the syntax of the descriptor files such as web.xml. They simply tell you how to use deploytool to set it all up. Bottom line, if you're going to use this book to learn J2EE, you better have a separate reference library handy to clarify things. Good luck to you.

Compulsive Reading
|
Connie Willis fans will navigate some familiar territory in this book. The obsessed hero/heroine and the infuriating secondary characters with a gift for getting in the way of their quest. Sometimes the plot bogs down under the heavy weight of it all. Despite that, this is still the most moving, unforgettable book I've read in a long time.Prior reviews have done a good job of describing the plot without spoilers. Suffice it to say that this is a story that will keep you turning the pages well past midnight. At times you will be tempted to read ahead but for God's Sake don't! Other times you will think you have figured out where this story is headed. Guess what? You probably figured wrong.The night I purchased it, I was warned by the bookseller, "Do not start the last 100 pages unless you can read them uninterrupted. Truer words have never been spoken. Heed this.

Gibson is a hunk ...

Of cr@p. This really is one of the worst written movies in history. I just gave it five stars cause Joan Severance is delightful and gorgeous and I got a thing for her ... and all she has to do is ask me for it. I can see this movie developing in a producer's bungalow on the studio lot.Exec 1: "What if we took Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn and put them together in a action comedy?"Exec 2: "I love it, Sammy, but our budget's just about used up for the year and those two will demand big bucks."Exec 1: "No sweat, Josh, we'll save it on the script. Those two together are what people will want to see ... a script will just get in the way."Exec 2: "Don't you ever get tired of being so brilliant."Exec 1: "Sometimes."Exec 2: "yeah, me too."Exec 1: "Did you just insult me?"Exec 2: "How could anyone insult someone as daft as you?"Exec 1: "Huh? Daft means dumb."EXec 2: "It does?"

Really Not that Great.
|
I thought this book was a bit overdone. No one person is ever going to need all of the information in this book. It goes into what I feel is minute details about colds, canker sores, heart disease, cancer, etc. I think a much better book, a book that you can actually use on a day to day basis is The Real Vitamin and Mineral Book by Shari Lieberman. This book goes into detail and discussions about all of the specific minerals and vitamins that yor body needs to survive. It also has great information about supplements. It also explains the RDA, RDI and ODI figures in excellent detail as well. After reading this book you will be able to actually map out your own vitamin, mineral and supplement program. A program that will definitely help you in hte long run and will help you maintain optimal health. Now I am biased when it comes to nutrition and supplementation because I sell them via a home based business. But for my money, it is definitely the better book of the two.

Excellent!
|
The Best Karate Series are the definitive books for learning the art of Shotokan karate. They have been around for many years and still none have surpassed their excellence. They are very helpful for the beginner and the advanced student alike. I have read them all and have found that each book in the series is excellent. Although you can't learn a martial art from a book alone, these books are an excellent supplement to your training and are very helpful in learning the finer points of the art of Shotokan. Each book in this series sets the standard for books on Shotokan training. There are simply none better, at least none better that I have found, and I read a lot of martial arts books. I highly recommend these books for anyone who is interested in improving their karate or who is interested in Shotokan. They are simply the best! Highly recommended. 5 Stars.Bohdi Sanders, Shotokan Blackbelt and author ofWarrior Wisdom: The Warrior's Path

The jury is still out...

When I purchased Pearl Jam's Binaural, I was vastly disappointed. But after about 5,000 listens, I made myself like it. I don't think I'll be able to do that with this album. I am so disappointed. U2 fans will know what I mean when I say this: the boys have finally "gotten over it." Gone are the days of angst, intimacy and heartbreak in U2 songs; here are the days of sappiness, shallow lyrics and complete normalcy. Normalcy. Blah. When did I ever ask for normalcy from U2? What happened to the textures and open-ended lyrics of Achtung Baby? What happened to the abstract poetics of the Joshua Tree? If I had wanted "straight-up rock and roll" from this band, I would have saved my money. Or bought a Hootie and the Blowfish album. Whichever. Can you tell I'm disgusted?!

Works great

I bought this trap because having a humane trap is important to me...I would get a cat so they could do the dirty work for me, but I live in a small apartment in NYC. My apt. has at LEAST three mice running around, pretty gross. Anyway, I bought other traps in the meantime of getting this product in the mail. I was trapped during Hurricane Irene with the little suckers! Anyway they just set off the other traps without getting caught.After finally getting this mouse trap.. I caught 2 mice in an hour and half... the first one was within 15 min! I expect to clear the apt of all the mice in the next day or so! Totally worth the money. The only problem is that you have to see the poor thing when you throw it away if you want to reuse the trap. But after the mice get into your emergency supply food and burrow into your watermelon it is worth it!

Start The Duet Series Albums With The Very Best
|
Track List Romanized1. Egao ni GET ON!2. LOVE FROM SPACE3. Egao ni GET ON! ~Electro Sound Mix~4. LOVE FROM SPACE ~Ambiant Mix~5. Colorful GingaIn my opinion, Ryoko Shintani and Saori Goto are very cute, very talanted voice actresses, and they did an excellent job proving voices to their characters Milfeulle Sakuraba, and Chitose Karusuma, respectively. Although the live performances of Egao ni GET ON is not the best, It's great on this album. I love all these songs on this album. They all have perfect tone, they are all very upbeat, it's really sad when the CD ends with the happiest song, Colorful Ginga. Honestly, Best Galaxy Angel CD to add to your collection!

Very poor quality
|
The previous review of this product is dead on. The chainsaw worked properly for the first several cuts. However, once the chain needed to be tightened, I realized that this chainsaw is junk. To tighten the chain, you must screw the suspension screw, which is of poor quality. I had trouble with this, so I decided to just remove the two wing nuts and manually tighten it. BIG MISTAKE. To get the cheap plastic cover back on is almost impossible! I couldn't get suspension screw to realign properly. Also mentioned below, the oil factor. The thing leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez! Which makes a huge mess. Avoid this product at all costs.

A Truly Awful Film!!!
|
This movie is so dumb and stupid, that it's laughable, just like Tommy Wiseau's masterpiece, The Room. After watching it a 2nd time with friends, it's a little better, but that's not saying much. The lead actor is always talking about his lame job, the sound is choppy, the birds are incredibly fake looking, the actors are terrible, and they talk about global warming every 10 minutes. Rod is a software salesman who runs into a fashion model named Natalie. They show their melodramatic love story until finally the birdemic starts. (It takes 47 minutes for the birds to start attacking) When they attack, that's when the fun of this movie begins. When they shoot at the birds, it's like the old Nintendo game, Duck Hunt. Rod and Natalie meet up with survivors and help two kids who lost their parents, but don't seem to care enough. Will they survive? This movie is worth a watch. It's so bad, it has to be seen to be believed. I would recommend BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR!!!

Christmas just came to my apartment
|
Christmas has come a bit early to my little apartment. Tonight I purchased The John Rutter Christmas Album. I'm listening to it on my laptop right now...How amazing, delicate and worshipful this music is. Exquisite voices, perfectly balanced and harmonized by Rutter's arrangements.There are so many favorites on this album. One delight is the Donkey Carol. It is written in an unever 5/8 time, so you have the feeling of being carried on a clumsy donkey!Another is I Saw Three Ships. Very light and happy, with a key change that is like the opening of a flower. How Rutter does it, I can only marvel. "And he did whistle, and she did sing on Christmas Day in the morning!"This is a perfect album to get you in the mood for Christmas. Light a few candles, turn down the lights, and put on this collection of music. There are 23 tracks, so you get a very good value. (Many of these have been published on earlier albums.)

Get it from the Library, don't buy it.

Judith McNaught has written some wonderful books, this is not one of them. Paul, the manipulative FBI agent in Perfect, is back and as obnoxious as ever. It's a pity someone did not shot him in his sit upon. He ended up with Paris, who was too good for him, and he certainly did not do enought to end up with a wonderful girl. I hope to meet Jess & Sara in another book; sorry she didn't see fit to do more with them. Noah Maitland came off with too many shades of unexplained gray and black to end up as the good guy. After leaving Sloan Reynolds in jail, she should have written him off as a lost cause. She loved him enough to forgive him, but he did not love her enough to even listen. This is what she wanted to build a life on? Give women some credit for having brains. His father and sister were more likable. This story line needes alot more work.

A nice book but....
|
I received this book as a gift and starting reading it right away. An interesting little book, but there should have been other actresses added and better editing done. For example on page 95 there is a photo of Susan Hayward and Richard Conte. The caption on the photo is 'I Want to Live! 1958) unfortunatly, Richard Conte was NOT in that film, the photo is actually from 'I'll Cry Tomorrow'. A mistake like this especially from the folks in connection with Turner Classic Movies is really an insult to movie buffs! This makes the rest of the book suspect. Shame on them! I seems that people have not found this review helpful... why, I have no idea?? If you like spending money on a book that has incorrect information than so be it. I would rather spend my hard earned money on something I can read with total satisfaction and not misprints.

I'm pleased
|
I bought two of these, one for my outside cats(3) and one for my inside cat and I'm going to get the dog one for Christmas. I agree the directions are hard to follow and it took me a couple tries to get it. I wish there was also a temporary backup while changing batteries. I don't think rechargeables last as long as alkalines because I had to change batteries and reprogram after 2 1/2 months. I also would like the option of an ac power cord. It has been great for my inside cat. I've even cut back on her food because she is leaving food in her bowl. I'm trying to get her to loose weight. I have a problem with the outside cats because the boss wants to eat it all and leave none for the other 2 cats. Also, for the most part, it has prevented the opossum from eating all the food at night. I don't like to pay to feed the wildlife.

Move beyond breathing and biology
|
This book is amazing! I am a 2-time Bradley graduate, and while I think biology lessons and breathing techniques can be helpful, this book helps you look within to find out what YOU need to birth YOUR baby. The answer is uniquely different for each of us. The authors do not try to tell you what it is. Rather than professors, they act as guides, helping you look into your own heart, mind, and past experiences. You make the discoveries, you win the information you are seeking, you are in control. It is a very empowering journey! They do offer practical information, like biology and pain-management techniques, and it is good information. One of the pain management techniques was a sanity-saver at my last birth. Still, there is also a lot more to this book.Get this book, and read it. You won't be sorry. Happy birthing!

Get It Because I Said So
|
Well, I was going to put in my big long review, but there is enough of those already here that I feel I can sum up my opinions in a couple of paragrahs.First off you might see the word emo float around out there. I guarantee you if this album was that emo I'd be giving this CD 1 star. I am not emo, I am not into emo, emo stings my ears. Now, I will admit there is emo tendancies. L.G. FUAD is one of those, and probably a song that should have been left off of the CD.Now that we are past the whole "emo" thing I can move on. You might see Mark Hoppus's name on the CD. Do not be alarmed. This DOES NOT sound like blink-182. THIS DOES NOT SOUND LIKE BLINK-182. I can't stress that enough.So lets recap:1. Not emo.2. Doesn't sound like blink-182.3. If you are hesitant to buy the CD there are free downloads out there, check them out first.

Poorly made, doesn't work, but looks great.
|
Really disappointed with this purchase. The watch is beautiful but the one I bought didn't keep accurate time. I had to adjust the time twice in a 24 hour period. I put the watch down overnight and the watch stopped moving by morning. This may be due to the fact that it is a kinetic watch but that seems to be a short period of time to stop keeping time. I didn't keep the watch long enough to find out because the fact that the bezel didn't work was enough for me to return it. I wanted the watch for diving but the bezel was so stiff that it was impossible to set. I envy the people who bought this watch and have no problems. It's a great looker for a great price. I won't be buying Invicta again. It seems there are too many duds.

A great read but . . .
|
THis is a fast read and well written. A horrifying story and it has some amazing twists. The author knows what she is doing. BUT I would bet my bottom dollar the author is not a mother. She writes about her baby as though she never loves him. Ever. He screams all the time and even at seven months he apparently stops only when the father gets home to make the mother look bad. First of all as a mother of five kids I know that moms love their screamers even when the moms are driven mad. Yes, post partum depression can create bad feelings but this character NEVER loves the boy and she does not know what a seven month old is like. They certainly are not calculating. Then inexplicably at the end, this crazy sociopath son gets some redeeming qualities. So I don't buy the premise even though I finished the book with pleasure.

A "Die-Hard Fan" Of Michelle Branch
|
Her new album "Hotel Paper" is out. I have been desperately waiting since May for the album to come out. I can't wait to buy the album. The first single "Are You Happy Now" (song & video) is awesome. The lyrics from "One Of These Days" is so touching. I always listen to her songs whether old or not in almost 95% of the time. I have her poster, and 30 hot pics of her, recorded MuchMusic 'Spotlight', watch MuchMusic 'Exposed' but unfortunately, I missed her concert with the Dixie Chicks, due to tickets sold out. I was stupid, I should bought it earlier. Anyways, I can't wait until her next concert. I like her becuase she's cute, cool, dresses awesome, sweet smile, pretty and hot. She has a beautiful voice.MICHELLE BRANCH IS THE HOTTEST SINGER IN MUSIC!!!!! ; YOU GO GIRL, ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, # 1!!!!!!

Working as expected, quality product
|
I got a new mountain bike Motobecane HT500 2013. The handle bar was low and I had to lean forward than I felt comfortable. This stem raiser is just the doc ordered. After installation, the handler bar has been raised 2.5 inches, just right for me. Less than that might be possible if you remove some spacers that came with the bike. There is 1 inch more to go up if needed. The product seems in high quality strong material. The bolt is actually pretty long and strong than the picture shows. I have been riding my bike up and down a small hill many times along dirt and light gravel tracks, many times in a bike park with 3-4 feet dirt bumps, once along a 16 miles gravel and dry mud track. No problem with the stem raiser, no problem with the bike. I am confident this thing will hold up to whatever I dare to throw myself onto it.

Elmore Leonard + Quentin Tarantino = a great movie
|
Jackie Brown...what can I say? Excellent. I loved it. Elmore Leonard is the BEST crime writer ever, and Quentin Tarantino is the best crime director ever...so, they are such a great match. I won't give anything away, but the final scene at the mall had me on the edge of my seat. The music is perfect for the climax. I love Elmore Leonard, and Jackie Brown is one of the best Leonard movie adaptations I've seen. Some other good Elmore Leonard book adaptations: Stick, Out of Sight, Get Shorty. Another plus is that I've heard that Tarantino has bought the rights to 4 more of Elmore Leonards books: one, a western, called Forty Lashes Less One; and three crime novels, Bandits, Killshot, and Freaky Deaky. I can't wait until that happens! Jackie Brown is no Pulp Fiction, so Fiction fans may be dissapointed, but if you watch with an open mind, and you are a crime movie fan, you'll love Jackie Brown.

A Must Read
|
This is one of the best books ever. This is one of those books that I'll definitely read again. I didn't think I'd like the book too much given the background of the Santiaga family. Once I started reading I couldn't put this book down. Winter Santiaga is a young girl with a lot of character and a lot of heart. It's hard to read this book without laughing or crying. At times you feel that Winter deserves what she gets but at times you can't help but feel for her. I think we'd all like to have a bit of Winter's spunk and tenacity. I like that this book had political lessons, although they weren't extreme and in your face. By the second or third chapter of this book, I had recommended it to several people. I think this is an excellent book for any woman and teen-age girl. This books shows both good and evil, and how they relate to several aspects of life. We can all learn lessons from Winter and her journey through the school of hard knocks.

Erratic Readings
|
The scale looks great! But if you are looking for consistent readings, look elsewhere. It will read within a couple of pound of your weight, but for most people such accuracy is inadequate. Their spec is .2 pounds. Their quality control was sleeping at the wheels when they shipped my unit out. Also, I would not recommend you weigh anything less than 20 pounds. The inconsistency goes off the scale!The position of the feet on the scale appears to make a difference in reading. The scale was supposedly designed to correct for such imbalance, but I sure did not notice it.All their printed material comes in every language in the world except ENGLISH! I guess they assumed that all English readers intuitively know how to use the scale.One of the reasons I purchased this scale was to weigh my luggage for airline checkin. Positioning the bags on the scale is cumbersome and again the reading was unreliable. After you pay your $75.00 penalty you will understand my review very well!

"No Security" followup
|
I wrote the previous "No Security" review. Wanted to add a real upsetting problem that I'd failed to mention. This software provides no indication that it's completed it's actions. There is no notification that what you asked it to do, is actually done. You have to guess when the operation is complete. This could be up to an hour to complete a "fast disc wipe"...several hours to complete a Dept Of Defense type wipe. You guess wrong, and you've screwed up the whole deal.....start over. This software is clearly created by folks who don't know how to write software. Flaws abound and abound. Irritating to any user, but scary in that it resets itself to defaults that allow maximum intrusion. Scratch your head and wonder how any PC Security company could use that as a default setting. Mindblowingly (...) design.

new sound for the Betties
|
Another fine album by the Betties. As always, Carol's voice and lyrics are the centerpiece of their sound, but this album experiments with new instrumentation. To my ears it doesn't really do much for the songs, but it's a nice change from the straightforward guitar rock they usually play. If you're a fan of the band (and you probably are or you wouldn't be reading this!) then naturally you need to get the cd! My only complaint is the awful mixing job. Carol's Voice is almost always this huge presence over a little teeny drum kit in the back, and there are super loud wailing guitar licks all over the place. There's also a weird kind of transparency to the sound that isn't very appealing. This band needs a warm recording for its naturally warm sound, but they didn't get it on this one. Compare it to Dust Bunnies and you'll hear the difference. Sorry to rant... it's still a great album.

Useless
|
Pathetic american stereotypical BS without a meaning. A movie for people 50+ at least. Nothing unexpected there. I dont hold anything against movies with a happy ending but the end of this movie is so horribly cheesy, unapproached. Not even a nuclear mushroom cloud could have disturbed the overwhelming sunshine, love and hapiness without a reason at the end. And not only the end. The womanizer, who becomes the good seriously loving guy; the cheating, depressed housewife, who finally realizes its better to be back at the old bump and grind instead of experiencing the uncertain. Give me a break! And finally, he was better at " The Office". Summary: Not worth seeing. If you wanna know which movies to watch, here's a list:Fight Club, 25 hours, Limitless, Heat and of course Hang Over I and IIAnd for all the ones, that cant live without heartsy fartsy movies: "Friends with benefits"....one of the better onesSo long folks and thanks for all the fish

Fast but noisy
|
Bought the printer from Staples for $149 in 2005. Bought it because of Lexmark's reputation and my previous laser was a Lexmark.It is fast -- greasy fast -- however it sounds like a tank. Initial powerup takes about 30 seconds. Average time to print for text is about 7-10 seconds. Graphics take much, much longer. It seems like Lexmark, to make the printer cheaper, made it dumber. Printing a document with complex graphics (a picture, PDFs, etc.) takes forever -- it seems.A positive is the 250sheet paper tray. However, when the printer runs out, it keeps spinning a paper grab wheel until paper is loaded. The printer looks nice with a black shell and grey top. . The output bin is poorly designed and printing big documents will result in pages that have to be shuffled and aligned.Oh, the initial toner cartridge is only good for about 2000 pages.Overall, I was disappointed and will probably replace the printer within a year -- and not with another Lexmark.

It's like someone broke off a piece of awesome and threatened the publisher with it.

You know what? Wanna know? Really wanna know? Wanna, wanna, really wanna know what? OK. Eisner's book: enthralling. Amazing. Great ride.The guy makes even the most sublime of subliminals excited. He punches us fist-clutched hands tied off a cliff of awesome and we fall smack down face first into a ravine full of guess what, awesome. Your eardrums are left smuthering about the ground as you grovel at the magnificence which is Eisner's book. Even the most hard pressed of hard-pressers will be hard-pressed into putting this book down. Trust me (I do) when I say this book is a good read. Wait, I take that back- it's a great read. Its so packed with pumped up amazing that it'll leave you in need of changing shorts. And yeah, you like that feeling, don't ya? Well, punk, DON'T YA? Of course you do (I do!).

Good long-lasting watch
|
I had this watch for more than 5 years now. I only recently buy a new one because I lost the metal bar that connects the watch to the band while taking it apart for fun. The features such as the 3 alarms, chorono and timer are quite useful. The two time setting is useful if you are keeping track of two different timezones. The watch is easy to use. You don't need to read the user manual to understand how to set up anything. The only downside that I have about this watch is the elastic portion of the band that holds the watch close to the band can stretch out after couple years of use. This will result in the watch dangling on the band. An easy fix will be to sew the elastic tight but I prefer Timex uses a better system to hold the watch on the band. The old watch continues to run after multiple dips in lakes, rivers, and ocean. The Velcro still holds fairly well after so many years and that's the surprising part. Fix that elastic part and the watch definitely deserves a 5.

sex plus fantasy
|
I had no idea that LUNA was a Harlequin imprint. If I had, I would've had other expectations. Now, I like a well-written romance novel, but this really was not. I bought it expecting a fantasy novel, not wild sex in a thin wrapping of a fantasy world. This book started out quite promisingly, with some interesting world-building. Then it went downhill from there with two-dimensional characters, who seemed to be either purely good or purely evil. The sex scenes were overblown and without any fun or tenderness. Bleah. The ending was rushed and contrived (and not a surprise at all). The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of 1 is due to the interesting socities that the author has devised. I won't buy the sequel.
