OFF THE HOOK
I for one, am a huge music lover. At one while I had some concerns about the music being released today. Alot of it isn't what I would actually call music, not to mention, the singing (NOT !). It is as if GOD was answering my prayers when Anthony Hamilton's cd was released. This cd is off the hook. Literally. There isn't one song on this cd I can bad mouth. Each song sends a message and also put thoughts in your mind about your life. My favorits are""Coming From Where I'm From""Charlene""Since I Seen't You""Cornbread Fish and Collard Greens"". As I write the songs I feel are my faves, I realize, I could go on. It's been a looooooooong time coming for some one of this man's talent and style to hit the airwaves again. Very soulful and touching. His voice, I can't explain it. Just trust me, get the cd. It is "OFF THE HOOK"!

Easy read in one day
I love John Grisham and to read something that hasn't to do with lawyers from him is fine. This book is very easy to read. I read it in one day, couldn't put it down. Yes, the neighbors are a little annoying, the characters overly dramatic. But isn't it an author's right to do whatever he/she wants with his/her characters? If you don't like this book, don't read it. But I find some people very unrighteously calling this book a bore. It is fun. And I am sure that somewhere in this country, probably on one of the coasts, this is almost like in the book. I have seen some of it.... but after all, it is a book, a fiction! And a GOOD one.

overpriced and worthless - bad combination
I have had this vacuum for about two years. In that time I have replaced the battery twice - VERY expensive and available only from Dyson. Now the unit is malfunctioning. It will run for about three seconds and then stop. Press the button again and it will work for another three seconds. I agree with an earlier review that the switch is a real hassle.I am one of those people who loves their Dyson upright. We have the Animal and think it is great. This handheld is a piece of junk. It's suction is no better than a cheap DustBuster. It it poorly balanced and very difficult to use. Even with a new, fully charged battery, it would only operate for about 5 minutes.I just threw this Dyson out and bought a Dirt Devil and I'm delighted. I just wish I hadn't spent so much money earlier for such a poorly designed product. I've learned my lesson: You don't always get what you pay for.

So sad :(
This book really upset me. Hitting kids isn't ok, and 'switching' them certainly isn't either. The idea of hitting my sweet baby for doing what she does naturally (explore) in the hopes that she'll 'learn' not to touch something...that's deplorable. I don't care what God they want to quote, this is hideous. Please don't ever buy this book. The idea that someone is reading it and heeding its advice is just heartbreaking. What a tragedy that there are sweet babies out there being hit and switched by their parents, whom they trust and adore, until they are 'broken'. To somehow justify this as discipline is inhumane. Discipline is to teach, to lead. NOT to smack or hit. Extremely inappropriate as a parenting book, shouldn't even be on the market except as a what NOT to do volume with a huge disclaimer on each page.

Awesome. . . IF you are a fan of ATHF
I was worried this would suck. In fact, it was as good as a ATHF movie could be. It compares very well with the best of the TV show, but it's an hour and a half long. They did a great job of keeping the momentum going and the laughs coming through the whole feature. Just about essential if you are a fan of the show. If you aren't. . . well you probably won't like this one. The film does address the origins of the Aqua Teens, as well as Frylock's relationship with Dr. Weird. In the end though, the film does not give any definitive answers. Mostly, it's just a fun romp with our favorite fast-food-themed-crime-fighting squad.

Am I bored yet...
Don't take me wrong: I liked Feehan's books very much BUT: don't you think this author is repeating herself quite a bit? She write and re-write the same sentences all along this book... Ok he founds light to his darkness... He needs her... This is all so incredeble to him... Ok, we got it! Say something else! You know everything there is to know about this story by reading the resume.... This book is 377 pages but the story could hold into 50 pages... The same events are repeated over and over again. Gregory, how believed his family gone for ever has nothing better to say than... "Ok, Good they live... I'll see them later" ! This gives you an idea of what Feehan has to say in this book. Not much.

Don't buy it!
This is one truly appalling book. If I could have given it zero stars I would have. Larry Niven was once an exciting writer whose excitement in novelties carried you along with him. Now he seems to be drearily trying to tie together the loose ends of most of his previous work, to little or no effect - just going through the motions.Where can I start? Lack of characterisation. Slack plotting (which Niven now seems to believe is purely mechanical). Ho-hum action sequences. Personal obsessions (inter-species sex). Here-and-there action to no great purpose. And a resolution which is wholly deus ex machina.Sad to see an author who once had it all together (and remember the younger Niven justifiably won both Hugo and Nebula awards) lose it to this extent. I ended "Ringworlds's Chidren" thinking it would have read a lot better had it been edited by E. E. ("Doc") Smith - and that's saying something!

Awful... Wanted to walk out.
The previews hinted at an average-plot action movie. It was wrong. Now, I don't mind Deisel as an actor. But this movie was so poorly written that I was rooting for the bad guy to kill him just so the movie would end. The dialogue is forced (at best) and just awful. How someone got paid to write this (and continues to get paid to write other things) I have no idea. The plot was thin. The characters were thinner. The only intriguing character was the older crime boss, and they didn't do much with him. This is the first movie I have wanted to walk out on in a long, long time. Of mainstream movies, they don't get much worse.

Shoddy service from My1StopShop
I ordered and received the DVD/VCR combo and it was DOA. They were very responsive and sent me an RMA to return it. Another unit was sent. It still did not work. I received the RMA and packing slip for FedEx and sent the unit right back... this time I asked for a refund. Now they are claiming they have never received the unit so they are not giving me a refund. Now I am out the $100 bucks AND have no DVD/VCR to show for it. I have contacted them and all I get is that they haven't received it. BIG LESSON LEARNED HERE!!!! Don't order anything thinking that you can return it if it doesn't work or isn't what you expected. They will take the return, but are not giving a refund. This left a terrible taste in my mouth!

Works
For most of us, life feels like a movie we've arrived at forty-five minutes late.Something important seems to be going on . . . maybe. I mean, good things do happen, sometimes beautiful things. You meet someone, fall in love. You find that work that is yours alone to fulfill. But tragic things happen too. You fall out of love, or perhaps the other person falls out of love with you. Work begins to feel like a punishment. Everything starts to feel like an endless routine.Life happens. But. It does not happen to you!You happen to it!We r not victims !For everything that happens in life there is a decision I can make that will make the outcome manageable. Poor decisions: sad consequences. Good decisions : Happy Consequences.;~PB

From a Pharmacist's Point of View
It's unusual to see a clinical pharmacist as the protagonist in a suspense novel. The profession of pharmacy rarely captures the curiosity of the thrill-seeking public. In Flashback, author Gary Braver opens us to the world of investigational drug research. Quality of life is object of millions of dollars of research with the potential to enhance the bank accounts of the clever scientists who discover and develop a medication for memory. The thrill is in the quirky flashbacks of memory. The science of the novel is meticulously researched. I should know. I am an investigational drug pharmacist who works at a large academic center. In these days of hurried and sloppy inquiries, I admired the accuracy of the facts involved in the description drug development. Research in any field is a labyrinth. The weaving of fact and fiction makes this medical mystery tour unnervingly close to reality.

This is amazing.
...This CD is completely amazing. Any one who criticizes this album is not a fan of Rock. Personaly, I have spent most of my adult life researching pretty much every Rock band that has made any success at all.(It is my job) I have come to a conclusion that Led Zeppelin is most impressing band there is. To many, Jimmy page is the best guitarist ever. That can be debated. The same issue can be considered about John Bonham. Robert Plant has an extremely attractive voice. He has very impressive variety, and sounds excellent. Jihn Paul Jones allows Led Zeppelin to be such an amazing band and still have only 4 members. I think that it is a complete miracle of life that these 4 people of different talent found each other. This album is a result insane talent. There is no better explanation. I also suggest buying the new DvD and CD. It will take breath from you.

WWE at its best.
What is so great about this game is that you have to earn your finishers. There are so many different types of matches. There's tag team, TLC, ladder matches, table matches, triple threat, royal rumble, fatal 4, and others. You can also create players. I created a giant black woman with 2 huge you-know-whats and jeans. She has red eyes and white hair. I named her Evil B****. But there's a huge variety of players you can create. You can also go for the medal. There are some great players like Hogan, Triple H, Regal, Stonecold, Kane, Trish, Stacey, Stephanie McMahon, Vince McMahon, Kurt Angle, Edge, The Undertaker, and many many more. But unbelievably they don't have Marc Henry, Randy Orton, or, at least unlockable, Andre the Giant. I'm probably gonna wait for Smackdown 4 to come out to get it with Rey Mysterio. The graphics are also unbelievable in this game. So for WWE Raw and Smackdown fans, now you can buy a lifelike one and have it right in your home.

Great Live Set But...
I bought this disc since it was a 2 disc set for a single disc price, a bargain eh? Well...not quite. Disc 1 is an absolute stunner, everything you'd expect from WP. While I can't say the vocalist is anything to rave about, the band makes up for it with long extended jams. Disc 2 is a throwaway in my opinion, Who plays such a short show? I foolishly was expecting a full complete concert on this second bonus disc. Sound quality is fine, clean and loud. The booklet is all photos and credits are sparse. 4 stars for the package docked 1 star for disc 2. Disc 1:10 tracks/76.15. DISC 2: 6 tracks/20.35.

IS THIS RAP OR KARAOKE?
The sales rank of the edited version is at 11, 910 and the explicit version is at 681. It's obvious that anyone who bought this cd was paying to hear cuss words. I know everyone will hate me for saying this, but forget it! I went to a used cd store today, where there was about 30 copies of it. Take my word for it: it's that bad! You don't believe me? Think about that horrible Godzilla song. Think about that horrible Mariah Carey remix. And just think: this whole cd is just the same- only a whole lot worse. I bought this cd when it first came out, and the very same day I took it back to the store and demanded my money back. Maybe I should have held onto it, I mean, since everyone who bought this probably threw it away, it might be a collector's item someday. Anyone who has listened to this can tell you that Puffy was just a fad going on in 1997, just like Backstreet bunch and the Spice Girls are right now, and just like the next flashes in the pan will be next year.

HOOVER
Have used the Hoover Elite Rewind 3 times and it works fine so far. Strong pickup and beats the rug well. What I particularly like is the weight which if I recall was 15.5 lbs. Much lighter than my last Bissell vacuum and that makes it much easier to clean the stairs. I have tried many other methods to clean the carpeted stairs including the extension beater which hooks onto your hose but lets face it, nothing can clean as well as the vacuum itself if you can get it to each step and this Hoover is light enough to do so. I also like the fact that you do not need to replace filters which can be costly as my last Bissell vacuum needed. The cord does properly rewind easily. So far so good.Update to review. Used the unit for 3 years without any problems. Cleans well. Now my son is using it in his home and it's still working well.

Entertaining, with a good mix of humor and suspense.
What I especially liked about this movie was the lack of gore (there was just a bit toward the end) and keeping the antagonist mysterious. You never get to see what he looks like. Was the movie original? No. It is a crazed trucker who chases down a couple of guys who played a prank on him. Was it entertaining? Yes! It had a good mix of suspense and humor. I saw 'Duel' a long time ago when I was young and I barely remember it, so this didn't spoil the movie for me by comparison. This movie may have struck home with me a little more, because I was chased down by a crazed trucker a few years ago, so I know they're out there. But overall it was very entertaining, psychological thriller. Well worth the money.

Sugar free sweetener
First I have eaten a lot of licorice in my day. These Red Vines S.F. black licorice vines were very tasty-little chewier than the regular but still good.That is why the 2 stars. I did e-mail Red Vines about that but did not get a reply. Was eating 4-5 pieces a day-I don't consider that a lot- & then something very strange started happening to my (to put it nicely) tummy. Narrowed it down to the licorice after some Internet research. Found out I was not alone that it was "disagreeing" with me. It does say on the package that it "may have a slight laxative effect" but that wasn't the entire problem. It contains the sugar sub. Maltitol.Side effects are major bloating,gas,more gas,bad gas,gurrgling & strange colored movements-if you get my drift.This may not be the norm-but I have consumed a lot of sugar free products and have never had the consequences that resulted after eating this product. Anybody want my remaining 10 bags?? Don't think I will be having any anytime soon.

They don't appreciate our support
First of all let me say that I am a serious reader. I purchase books before I even read what I've already purchased. Anyhow, I'm tired of supporting books marketed to African Americans, yet not being appreciated. Time and time again the books are riddled with errors and this is so unacceptable. You don't find this problem with other books. It's like their saying so what they are going to buy the books anyway. I'm really getting tired of being taken advantage of.Anyhow, I found this book to be unrealistic. This girl goes from being a young virgin to a professional whore in one breath. No street knowledge to a gansta girl tricking men for money. Just too unrealistic. The book was also kind of a slow read but picked up towards the end. The book was okay, however, not one of the best or one that I would really recommend.

I LOVED this book.
Body Check is wonderful. The fact that it is the first book by Deirdre Martin means that this woman is someone to watch. I can't wait for the follow-up Fair Play. This book should be deconstructed by every wannabe writer as a lesson in how to do everything right the first time out.Ms. Martin's writing is everything good chocolate should be: rich, smooth, satisfying, and full of nuance. Her characters are everything a human should strive to be: multi-layered, believable, and flawed. Her story line is everything a romance should be: predictable enough to keep the reader happy, dynamic and clever enough to keep the reader guessing, and hot, hot, hot. Her love scenes had me twitching with keystroke envy. This book actually nudged me - an avowed sports-phobe - to watch ten minutes of a hockey game last night. THAT'S an effect.I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Buy it. Read it. Keep it. Read it again.

Great CD!
I wasn't a fan of Dashboard Confessional until I found out that the hit song "Hands Down" was by them. Since I was not a fan in the past, I can't compare this CD with their previous works. All I can say is that I love this album and I can not stop listening to it. No matter what mood I'm in, it always makes me feel good. Chris is a very talented singer and he sings with so much passion and emotion. Every song has a specific meaning. Some of them may have to be listened to more than once before the true significance comes out, but it's there. Also included with the CD is a DVD that shows Chris on a solo tour and the makings of this album. The DVD shows how talented Chris is and takes his acoustic side into effect even more. All in all, I think it is a great CD. It was well worth my money and I am looking forward to whatever else Dashboard Confessional is going to dish out to me.

Great Fundmentals/Basics DVD
This DVD is a great introduction and fully covered the Sil Lum Tao form and basics of wing chun. I was fully able to learn the movements of Sil Lum Tao. I am just learning but I feel it demonstrated the art of wing chun in a simple and concise manner. This is a good reference tool in wing chun fundamentals for all beginning practitioners. It instructed well and piqued my interest. This DVD and Sil Lum Tao are both very utilitous and will be helpful in preparing one in finding and participating with a good wing chun instructor/club. In my opinion, if one wants to learn about Wing Chun, this DVD is an excellent resource. Well worth the purchase.I had purchased two books that promised Sil Lum Tao. Wing Chun Kung Fu by Ip Chun had pictures for the entire form but it's difficult to learn from static pictures. I recommend this book as a good supplement to this DVD. The other book was not helpful except for the translation of Confucius' Art of Mean.

A good reference for the aspiring pistolero.
Being a fan of Jeff Cooper, it is easy to spot his influence in the writing style as well as the techniques developed at Gunsite. Morrison gets it all correct, although this is not the last word in development of techniques that work and are safe. That work is ongoing. Expect to read this book over and over for the simplicity and clear line of thought. This is not a how to book, that is the work of individual instructors. Helpful guidelines on tactics, the "states of alertness" or color codes set down by Col. Cooper, the tactical niche of the handgun, the combat mindset. A wonderful book for the dedicated student of the gun. As a note, I must stress that there is at least one practice that Cooper and Morrison espouse that I can not reccomend to anyone! Let the buyer beware! This is empahtically not a how to do it all by yourself book. Get some professional training and then get this book.

Like his movies, mostly hits and few bad jokes...
This not a serious book and Smith himself makes no bones about that. It is filled with the same kind lol jokes that his films are--some dumb--but mostly hilarious. The pieces cover much of his career the last 8 years or so. They are from various sources. With the except of his piece defending Star Wars and his final piece on ComicCon, the book is a great look at Smith. I happen to be big fan of all of his work (even liked Jersey Girl) and the man himself. He is humble, self-effacing, and just damned happy to be where he is. His take on Cruise and Affleck is rare in this media age--he loves these guys and tells us why. He is still a fan. He is also a husband and a father--some of the best stuff in here is about that. And, his essay on New Jersey and his friend Walt was just awesome. No need to nitpick over the few things don't work--the book is great for any big KS fan. Even one like me, who doesn't read comics.

Very Disappointed!
I dont know why this disposer gets such good reviews. The disposer is made of cheap plastic, and was a pain to install .I went throuh a lot of trouble replacing the flange that holds the disposer, and the twist-on collar of the disposer wouldn't fit securly without plumbers tape. Then, after 2 weeks of use, the plastic shell began to crack open!. What a dissappointment! I have no idea why consumer reports recommends this disposer over InSinkErator. When I decided to get this disposer, I thought that amazon had a great price for a 1 hp disposer. WRONG. After a bit of research i discovered that the only reason this disposer is labled as a 1 hp disposer is because of a higher starting torque. After a lot of trouble with costomer service, I finally returned it and ordered an evolution excel from ISE. Personally, I think it will worth every extra penny (it was considerably more expensive, but probably well worth it). Final warning: Do not buy this disposer!

glad i ignored negative reviews
bought it off ebay for $50 new. yes, it does take a little while to get used to---there's a good chance you will feel a little irritation at first-probably on your neck. But let me tell you something: this thing shaves a gazzilion times faster than my Braun did. I used to dread shaving, especially if i missed 2 or 3 days. This shaver is a breeze to use. I use the self-clean once a week so far. If you've ever used a Norelco, you know what a collassal pain in the butt it is to keep it clean. And it never seems to stay clean. This system is such a breath of fresh air. just push the clean button, and you're done.p.s. I almost wonder if some of the horrific revues were written by the competition. seriously.

An Entertaining, Thought Provoking Divergence with Outragous Twists and Turns.
I have read all the reviews of "M. Butterfly."Personally, I think the reviews should accurately describe the film being reviewed, but in this case, I think it's wiser to be brief and not spoil the films twists and turns. I find it strange that there are so many people who can't wait to ruin the surprises for the innocent movie viewer. Off with their heads!!!There is more than just a plot to interest a person in this film. To me, Jeremy Irons is one of the Best Actors of all time. The entire cast is perfect. After the Actors and story, the visuals are second-to-none. Lush, atmospheric, mood setting and perfect settings for the storyline. The costumes were time-accurate and well done. The music was spectacular without being obtrusive (Chinese Opera scenes exepted).If you react similiarly to how I did, you'll find yourself with a few new favorite Actors at the end of the film.

Avoid this book
I did not like characters in this book. Sinjun was a sleazy himbo and the whole harem thing did not work for me. The plot of the book has many faults. For example, Sinjun is captured by her family and escapes, but they never come after him or the daughter. Why? It makes no sense. Another character makes threats on Chealsea, but there is no intense conflict which would have been developed. The book has footnotes in it, which I find annoying. This is not a college project to write a book. Any historical comments need to be in the story and not footnotes. If I want english history, I'll buy english history - not a romance novel.

Go For It!!!
As a longtime fan of the show, I eyed this set for a long time. When Amazon put it on sale (as they occasionally do), I bit the bullet and forked over the cash - STILL a lot at half-price. I can honestly say this is one of the best presents I've ever given myself, and worth EVERY penny. The set is beautiful - contains every ghoulish episode, the quality is fine. Handy booklet with episode summaries tempts me to peek ahead, but I try not to ;-) Extra material on many disks is especially wonderful - insightful interviews with cast and crew. Great nostalgic fun, yes, but remarkably engaging all these decades later. My partner who never watched it as a kid is enjoying it just as much as I am. Hours upon hours upon hours of entertainment. My thanks to the producers and Amazon for making it available. Kudos to Johnny Depp, but...treat yourself to the one and only, original Dark Shadows. You'll be glad you did!

NBA Street hits stores
The newly released game NBA Street V3 is an improvment to street 1 and 2. It has a new challenge, a dunk contest. NBA Street V3 has been upgraded with better graphics and new controls. The only thing is that some of the dunk look fake. Although in V1 you can have more player on your customized team then V3. V3 has the latest allstars including Carmelo Anthony, Baron Davis, Lebron James, Vince Carter ect. in this game.In V3 you can customized your player. you can change his sneaker and give him a hair cut. Although you can customized there many features to deal with. There is a limit to the player you can have in your team. Nintendos allstar's Mario, Luigi and Peach are in the Nintendo Gamecube edition . But the allstars move very slowly when they dunk,do tricks and shoot.NBA Street V3 is the best NBA Street game so far. Although V3is a good game it can't match with NBA Live 2005. Which is still the best basketball game today, but V3 still shoud be played by everbody.

Engaging story.
Posted December 30, 2010, 7:15 PM EST: Leigh married into the Hawthorne family without being told its biggest secret. They are all hereditary witches. She finds out when her young son goes into a trance like state and starts talking about modern witch hunts. Now she has to deal with her husband's family and make a choice that will alter her life forever. Does she stand with the witches or take her children and run? Witch Hunt follows the Hawthornes through history, focusing on several instances where the family of witches have had to deal with some extreme hardship and face eradication. The historical parts of the novel are well researched and believable and the modern aspect is truly frightening. Could we have a modern day witch hunt? Let's hope we don't have to find out. I really enjoyed the book. The story is solid, the characters believable, though not all of them are likeable and the writing is clean.

Not your daddy's blues.....
This Sioux City Pete is one crazy mofo and this is one crazy album! Kinda like the Gun Club meets Pussy Galore. Lots of heavy, disturbing lyrics about dark, dark subjects. The song titles alone should give you a clue as to what I mean. And I'll tell you what - I totally dig this cd. Yes, it's definitely bluesy, but not in some safe, Eric freakin' Clapton type way. This is what I imagine Robert Johnson would sound like if he had made his deal with the devil at the crossroads today. This is not for sqeamish pansies. This is rocknroll with the devil's stamp all over it. Long live Necro Blues!!!

I love this movie
I think this movie is a better than the book and that rarely happens. Only a few minor problems, James Garner isn't nearly as old as Noah is in the book. The ending is different and I don't like it, but I didn't like the book ending either, so it really didn't matter. I love Ryan Gosling in pretty much anything, and Rachel McAdams holds her own. The movie is very sweet. Yes, there is infedelity, which isn't the right thing for anyone to do, no excuses, but it does happen in real life, and so it happened here. The only thing I didn't like was the online streaming from Amazon. The movie stopped every 30 seconds and was very difficult to watch like that. I watch streaming movies and TV all the time on other sites, this was my first time on Amazon. I didn't like it. Probably won't use the service again.

saw this at the hollywood film fest
i honestly did not expect much when I went to see this, but the film makers and cast had come all the way from tennessee so i decided to give it a shot. i was very pleasantly surprised. the story, the characters, the setting....everything about it was great. it has a very grainy look to it which reminded me of classics like the texas chainsaw massacre. the guy who plays the main bad guy is creepy...really creepy... and his humongous henchman intimidated me from the screen. i actually freaked out a little when i looked down the row during the film and saw him sitting there wearing the same clothes he wore in the film. its not some generic gory torture horror film either. its more of a suspense film with horror elements. the twists are cool. most of the performances are top notch as well which is somehting a lot of indy horror films lack. a very solid film and i highly suggest you check it out.

One point off for publishing...
I understand the dilemma. The book is just too big to publish in a single volume. Hooray! More of the Seven Kingdoms to enjoy! That's a dilemma I can appreciate. However, I'm not sure I approve of the way the division was done. How much ground are we going to be rehashing in the next volume by going back in time to cover events being experienced by the characters not seen in this book?That aside, I have to say how much I love this series. I have been waiting with bated breath for this book for years, and my only disappointment, as I have mentioned, is with the editing decision to remove several characters until the next book. Several of my favorite characters, I might add. For the past week, I have lived in the Seven Kingdoms. When I was not actively reading, I was wishing I was reading. When I was reading, I was scolding myself to read slower, and make it last. I need more!MR. MARTIN - PLEASE WRITE FASTER!!!

excellent book !
the info about finding about your body type and what you should and should not eat is priceless enough! i lasted 2 days on the diet. lol. the food is not tasty or appetizing (i never realized how difficult it would be for food to not have salt and the right seasonings!; you see that the world's taste buds need to change) i rather just do a normal diet with normal food and exercise than having to stick to Thurmond's food. i've chosen to do it the old-fashioned way (moderation, limited calories, exercise). BUT the info in the book is amazing. you will learn about so many things about your body and exercising, and be astounded. so that is why you should STILL get this book. b/c really, you can formulate your own diet from Michael's info. that is what i've done. i found the book very well put together, and Thurmond very conversational, real, encouraging, and nice throughout it...

No Luck
I have no luck when buying this CD album. The first one I ordered from Amazon skipped on the last five tracks. Amazon replaced it, only this one dosen't even load in my JVC Rack System's CD cassette player. I tried switching the cassette trays and even switched the cassettes. No luck, it played in my computer though... where I found new skips.I ran into this problem before with a Stones; Hot Rocks 1954-1971 CD. Unfortunately, it was a xmass present and I didn't play it for a long while, before I realized that it wouldn't load into my CD player. It was too late to take it back. That was my mistake for waiting so long. Now I check all CDs and DVDs as soon as they come. I've decided not to try another. Too bad, it was a good album.

Cool addition
Bought these to replace the factory yellow covers on my KC daylighters. No more getting out to pop off the covers when I want to use them. The picture on Amazon is off, the KC logo is much bigger like the newer model 7210's. Ive tried lights with the covers on and off and do not notice a difference is light output. They work great. Very sturdy and secure when snapped on properly. They are plastic so I would use caution if trying to install/remove them in colder temps. I liked the yellow, kinda pops more than the blk/whi 7210's and the color matches the factory covers. Again these are much heavier gauge plastic than the factory covers and have held up to multiple trips thru the car wash (with brushes), without loosening or coming off. They are mounted on a bullnose style bumper so they are literally the front most point on my truck. My only gripe is that the picture is off, and I knew that before I bought them. Amazon still had the cheapest price for these on the net.

Absolute garbage!
My god this movie is so bad that I'd rather get a root canal than watch it. DMX shouldn't have even taken this role. It wasn't worth it for him. This movie was disturbing and off-key. I mean it was disturbing how Reagan Preston-Gomez's character got corrupted in this movie and I felt she just got type-casted and so did Michael Ealy. This is the movie that he chooses after The Barbershops? Oh man! I saw no relevance to having that soap opera star involved with X. That aspect could of been done away with. Everybody involved in this movie should be ashamed of themselves. No offense X! Ernest R. Dickerson, the man who brought us Juice, really shot a blank with this. I hope he rebounds to direct a better movie than this. And don't even put this movie in the same class as Empire. Empire flows way better and the plot was on cue. This movie though should have never seen the light of day!

A movie in a movie in a movie
Esai Morales was certainly NOT a captivating central presencein this film, and the movie is better for it. Rather he comes acrossas a benign, and even a little doltish, Everyman. The disconnectedness he feels with his life is not unlike experiences we can all relate to. What is different for his character, is the opportunity to explore the reason for his experience of isolation. We see his internal turmoil reflected, in what he gradually discovers in the lives of the friends and family who surround him, and eventually in what he discovers about the historical events of his home. "You don't want to know," he's told; "it's better left in the past!" And after the film's tense conclusion, we might comclude that, yes, some things really are better left out of our cosnciousness. And every time we see a smiling or thoughtful face, we may wonder just a bit more what unspoken story lies beneath the surface . . . the story of a life, of a family, or even of a country.

Mariah Carey Is Terrible!!!!
People, stop with this Mariah Carey is the best singer to grace the earth malarki! When she sings, it is not pleasant to me. For each his own I guess, but when you have artists like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Martina McBride out there, what possesses you to get all excited about Mariah and say she's the best singer in the world? I mean, Christina Aguilera can sing Mariah Carey under the table any day of the week. Could she not? Mariah's studio music is bad... and her live "unplugged" bunk is too. A friend of mind gave me this CD so I didn't waste any money on it. And it's not a music CD anymore, it's a nice coaster on which I sit my Celine Dion coffee mug. The fact of the matter is that Celine undoubtedly is the best vocalist out there, and to even mention Mariah Carey in the same manner is just ridiculous. If you want a live CD that won't make you bleed at the ears, I suggest any of Celine Dion's three live CDs. Get real, people.

Fraser's book is nothing like this
Nice costumes and great on location filming. But no depth whatsoever. No action and barely a plot - which is inexcusable for a story so dramatic. Muted acting all throughout, which can only be explained by the directing. This film tried but did not rehabilitate Marie-Antoinette unfortunately. On the DVD, Dame Antonia Fraser comments on this film, which is based on her scholarly and sympathetic biography. With the precision of a writer, she comments on the lovely and accurate VISUALS and how film "could do" so much more than print to depict the French court. But she never says it actually succeeds. The uncritical viewer might think she approves of this film but I think she's the epitome of English politeness. Francis Ford Coppola on his daughter's film says that his advice to her was to make the film in whatever way she wanted to. Hmmm... Is he distancing himself too?

Pretty Cool Device
I bought this from Amazon last week and hooked it up over the weekend. It did in fact come with an owner's manual and USB cable (not like what was stated in another review). The setup was very easy. I use a Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker system. The spatial effect adds a lot to their sound and because there is a subwoofer fader knob on the front I can now adjust it without having to crawl under my desk when the song I'm listening to has too much bass. Also impressive is the 3D effects when using headphones. I had no idea they could sound that good. On the back is a coax and optical digital output. I ran the optical out to my Marantz receiver and after fiddling with the inputs on the receiver I was pumping MP3 files from my computer to my stereo. It sounded just fine to me. I would recommend the Philips PSC805/17 to anyone who enjoys music and is tied to a computer like I am.

EASY PLAN W/ RESULTS
After many diets I finally decided to give the South Beach Diet a try. At 250lbs. and major surgery coming up I new I had to lose and quickly. As of 1 month on this diet I have lost 12 lbs. My doctors are very happy and I am thrilled. I have had no cravings and am satisfied and not hungry all day! Never have I been on a diet like that. I am looking forward to losing 30lbs and keeping it off. This is not just a diet but a way of life. Also, you are not required to exercise a lot even though that would take off the weight even quicker if you did. I am a disabled retired firefighter and have lost this weight with very limited excersize. I recommend it whole-heartdly.The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss

Only Haters Dis This Album
First off, many people don't even give T-Pain a chance because he uses the Vocoder (voice synthesizer), but these same people are in love with the song "Computer Love" by Roger Troutman (who NEVER sang without the vocoder). T-Pain doesn't use it on all of his songs. Listen songs like "Fly Away" and "Dance Floor." Secondly, T-Pain is a VERY talented artist who play MULTIPLE instruments and makes all of his own music. How many artists today do that? Exactly. U may not like the content of some of his songs, but there's no need in denying the fact that he's talented. Musically, nobody in the industry can touch him right now. Except R. Kelly. I'm not an R. Kelly fan, but I don't deny his talent. No need for anybody to deny T-Pain's talent. He's a gifted artist.

Best shave cream for ingrown hairs
This cream doesnt lather up. They have the gel version for that. I used to use Gillette, Edge even Aveeno shave gels before this. My issue was that I always developed ingrown hairs around the neck area below my chin, sometimes so bad that I developed huge pimples. It was painful and unattractive nonetheless. I bought this at walmart on an impulsive buy. I read the label that said minimizes ingrown hairs and decided to give it a shot. Well I have been using it for 2 weeks now and I am 100% satisfied. I no longer get ingrown hairs along my neck area and I have a clean smooth have. It definitely works, more than I expected it to and very fast. I am speaking of the shave cream version. Its about 5 bucks at Walmart. Give it a shot next time you buy some shave cream and compare. You have nothing to lose. My bet is that it will work for you too.

Life, Love, and Laughter
Life, Love, and Laughter shows the five steps of the "Consciousness Examen." The book also describes how Fr. Jim's life has changed from learning the five steps. When Fr. Jim was in seminarian school he started to lose faith and feel like he was drifting further away from God. Soon after he was sent to a monestary to become closer with Jesus.The first step-"A prayer for enlightenment" shows Jesus enlightening others by healing sinners, raising the dead, and eating with others. The second step is "Reflective thanksgiving" which shows thanksgiving for the cross and the resurrection. The third step is "Survey of actions" where Jesus heals others, reconciles, and loves others. "Contrition and Sorrow" is the fourth step in which Fr. Jim is forgiven for sins he had commited in the past and learns to love others. The final step "Resolution for the future" describes how to stay close with God and never give up.

Great buy but doesn't match the picture
Excellent pair of jeans representing a great buy. Good fit for my 60+ year old body. Sooooo ... 5 stars. But ... the jeans don't match the picture much to my chagrin. They are pepper pre-wash (had no clue of what this was until after I got them and went to Lee's website). They are not medium stone wash (my label for what I expected and was seeking). They are cheap enough that I didn't return them. I've washed them once and they retained their size so the next step is bleaching! If this doesn't work, I'll donate them and find a site that sells what I seek (Lee does make a medium stone wash - don't remember what they call it). Be careful. These are great jeans if this is what you want. Don't be misled by the picture.

Her most satisfying set!
MELISSA is her third LP released in 1975, her Arista debut. It is considered to be one of her finest. It it includes her top 10 hit Midnight Blue and top 30 hit Just Too Many People. Another popular track is Party Music, which became a chart hit for Broadway singer Pat Lundi. Other highlights include a tribute to one of her favorite contempoary artists, Stevie Wonder. It is appropriately titled Stevie's Wonder. She also cover's one of his tunes called Love Havin' You Around. Another standout is her ballad We've Got Time and the sultry I Got Eyes. She also covers a Randy Newman tune called I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore as if it were her own composition. She adds a touch of rock with her song It's Gonna Be Alright. Last but not least is the collaboration with Carole Bayer Sager called This Lady's Not Home Today. A great asset to your collection.

GOOD UNIT FOR THE MONEY
A GREAT HEATER. NO NEED FOR DIGITAL TEMP CONTROL. JUST TURN DIAL UNTIL YOU HEAR A SLIGHT CLICK AND IT KEEPS TEMP WITHIN THAT RANGE. WISH IT HAD A HANDLE OR GRIP ON THE BACK SIDE TO LIFT OR MOVE WHEN UNIT IS HOT. THERE IS ONLY A SMALL INDENTATION IN THE FRONT ON TOP JUST BEHIND THE CONTROL PANEL. THE "COMFORT TEMP" BIG GREEN RINGED ON/OFF BUTTON IS A LITTLE TOO STIFF TO PUSH IN OR OUT VERY EASILY. SOMETIMES MOVES THE WHOLE RADIATOR A LITTLE. THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING WHEN IT'S HOT. TWO SWITCH COMBINATION TO REGULATE WATTAGE USAGE AND OUTPUT. SIMPLE EASY TO USE. DOES EVERYTHING THE DIGITAL ONE DOES WITHOUT THE GIMMICKY PRICE.

They'll sample any and everyone!!!
It's a shame...I can't tell you how bad I hate almost everyone on Murder Inc. I may not even be able to properly compose a review of this album because I am overwhelmed by the lack of innovation and talent on the is album! "The World's Most Talented Record Label!?!" HA!!! Yeah right...they need to get over themselves. They sampled Tupac's "So Many Tears" and Biggie's "The World Is Filled" but tried to cleverly conceal the samples by slowing them down a little bit. Murder Inc. is just Bad Boy Records 6 years later. And a bad imitation at that. Ja, pass the mic! Irv, give it up! Ashanti, just stop! Charlie, oh excuse me...Chuck, nevermind, that's too easy. I gave this record one star because I had to. It's horrible and all hype!

Well-made and fun
There's a lot to like about this set - the tricks are fun and there is a nice variety. I got this for my 9-year-old son. We both liked that it was made out of wood and that the components can be stored inside the presentation box. A few of the tricks are self-explanatory and my son was doing them within minutes. For the rest, we read the instructions. There is still one trick that we still don't understand how to do based on how they are explained in the booklet. I think there could be some improvement there. Video clips of someone doing the tricks so we can see how they're supposed to work would be even better. Also, I think a bit of showmanship is needed to pull of some of these tricks and not every child may have this (mine doesn't!). That's not a flaw of the set, of course! Maybe he'll develop that a bit more after a few more family gatherings.

Not to Amazon specifications!
I've enjoyed KitchenAid products for years so I was very interested in having the KHM7T replace my old lower-powered 5-speed KHM5DH. Amazon describes the KHM7T as having a 1.6 ampere motor rated at 200 watts. (Actually this should be more like 192 watts at 120 volts AC, but who's quibbling?) Imagine my disappointment when it arrived and proved to have only a 0.6 amp motor which rates no better than 72 watts. That's no better than my KHM5DH. I told KitchenAid of Amazon's error. As the KHM7T is sold nationally the error will occur regardless of where it is sold. Otherwise a different model number would be required.There was no problem returning it for a full refund.An August, 2011 update. Amazon.com still describes this mixer as havinga motor rated at 1.6 amps. This is a blatantly inaccurate descriptionconsidering the unit I received. Don't believe everything Amazon.com tellsyou. The Amazon blurb should have been corrected years ago.

Excellent finish and Overall Look/Feel
Bought these to finish off a 55 Chev in the shop. I was very happy with how easy it sprayed and how well it looked. A very nice gray with subtle white specks. This paint doesn't cover the greatest and I would recommend putting down a gray primer (or maybe even just plain gray rattle can) before this stuff. It will take double the coats if you don't. Took 2 cans to do the underside of the trunk lid without priming it gray first (the color was a medium blue), and it took 2 cans to do the whole inside of the trunk area, after priming it gray first. Warning! This stuff does dry very fast at all! This stuff almost sprays like tinted drywall texture. Allow plenty of time between coats. I used a heat lamp to cure, and it still took over an hour to dry.

Some people might think that Eldest copied Tolkien's elves, but I disagree. I think that Paolini made his elves different and interesting, and HE DID NOT COPY TOLKIEN in this area. BUT, I do think he copied many names (Melian, Beor, and others) from Tolkien. It is unfortunate that such a promising writer could not think of original names!Also the plot is exactly like Star Wars. *spoiler* This became most annoying when Murtagh told Eragon who his father was. Eragon didn't like that idea and Murtagh said "Search your feelings, you know it to be true." *cough* Vader said that!*cough*Eragon was excellent. Eldest was long, drawn out and lacked origianlity. It saddens me because I really thought the Inheritance Series would become the next Lord of the Rings. Unless Paolini does something amazing with the last book, it won't. =(- A Disheartened Eragon Fan.

Exciting adventure, different breed of people & dogs
Great book which I read during the '99 Iditarod race i.e. 3/99. Loved it because it was an adventure about a sport which is so far from my lifestyle that it is almost unimaginable. I could hardly believe what the dogs and mushers go through. I learned everything I wanted to know about dogs, mushing, and the great race. I read it in 2-3 sittings since it was so exciting. I could hardly put it down. In comparison to a recent two hour TV documentary on the Iditarod, Gary's book takes the prize. The book has so much more detail and info than the glamour of TV. The only drawbacks are that I thought there was excessive use of the - & ( ) i.e. dash and parentheses. It became cumbersome at some times. And the book is really not a scholarly piece of work (I wasn't expecting that either) so it can be easily and rapidly read by any 9th grader in high school. A great book and I will definitely read it a second time.

Pretty, but not a windchime.
I received this last week. It is really very pretty, but I have a couple of complaints. The box it came in said windchime. However, it does not chime. It hardly makes a sound even if you knock the teardrops together. The copper wires surrounding the glass drops prevent them from chiming. (I wondered about this before I ordered it.) My other complaint is although it was well-packaged, by the time I had cut the tape and removed the tissue from each teardrop, I had a tangled mess. I was nearly ready to throw it away before I got it untangled. Anyway, now it is hanging on my front porch and makes a nice decoration. The colors are vibrant and the it seems well-made. Surprisingly, it does not tangle, even when the wind blows it. I do wish it had clear line or thin wire instead of the black nylon cords holding the teardrops, but that's not a big deal. Overall, I'm happy with it. I'm going to order an actual windchime, though.

Very Below Contemporary Jazz Standards!!!!!!!!!
As I opened up this cd, I though it might be a cool contemporary jazz package. With the first song, Honey Dipped, I was rather dissapointed, but it wasn't the worst song in the world. I just said, it had its good moments, let me go to the next track. Track after track, nothing got any better. In fact, they were very much worse then, Honey Dipped. Honey Dipped actually sounded good after the next tracks popped into my ears. The rest are just very bad "new age" music influenced with, jazz? The synthesizers and electric instruments, dont make it any better. Most of this cd is, an electronic drum beat over some saxophone playing. Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never been so dissapointed in my LIFE!
Normally, I LOVE Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. I've bought many CD's featuring his work, so when I saw this collection at the music store, I was pretty excited "A DOUBLE CD??? For 20 bucks? Oh yeah!" I thought it would good esp. when I saw it said "stars of the london stage." So imagine my reaction when I put it into my CD player once I got home and starting listening to it...the performers on this CD SLAUGHTER many of Webbers greatest songs. The musicians were fine, its the SINGERS that ruin it. For example "Think of Me" sung by Lesley Garrett doesn't even SOUND like the song! The end where she goes up the scale is suppossed to be POWERFUL, and OPERATIC, NOT lazily swooning!Have these performers ever actually PERFORMED this music? I am aghast that I wasted 20 dollars on this CD...and KICKING myself for it too.

More Distortions.
Why do authors like these feel the need to distort history? No serious, objective scholar accepts their views. They make more than what was in sub-Saharan African history and indeed seem to make up fairy tales out of whole cloth. This isn't history, this is political diatribe - bilious, vile and full of barely supressed hatred. And half-truths and lies. Authors like these do no one a service and do a great disservice, particularly to the african american community. Where are they true scholars? Where are their voices raised against these gigantic leaps of logic and truth strectching? Where are they on the out right lies? Cowering from the label of racism, if non-black and the even more damaging label of 'Uncle Tom' if blacks. Sad. So very sad.

Near perfection in portable print...
Kindle knocks me out on an ongoing basis. It's the sort of device we geezers dreamt that a bounteous techno-future would produce. Light but not flimsy, vastly readable, portable as a paperback, and constantly renewable. Just to have a solid book of history on hand to wind down with before bed--not too many breathless escapes or astounding unforseen plot twists to juice you up--I ordered TRUMAN by McCullough. I remember toting the hardcover around when it came out. Even holding it up to read in bed was a workout. It downloaded in a minute and is an engrossing joy again. I change print sizes according to whether or not I'm wearing my glasses, which means switching to bigger type in bed--instantly! I love that it always returns me to my exact place in each book I'm reading. Only drag is the search function, which doesn't allow a search by author--yet. With luck, Kindle will solve that too. A sweet deal!

A TOAST TO YOU! REVISED REVIEW
Very nice glasses. They would make a thoughtful gift, along with a nice bottle of champagne. They are worth the price. Came very well wrapped..Sorry, have to change this review to a 1 star. We used them on our anniversary, hand-washed them, put them away in our china cabinet, no problem. I took them out and chilled them for a 40th New Year's toast. Hand-washed them, and the ruby writing on the glasses washed off. What a bummer! Now all I have are 2 PLAIN champagne flutes. Total rip-off, not worth the price because of bad "paint job". So much for that "keepsake" to pass on to the children.

It's OK, more of a novelty
The Misfits are one of my favorite bands. Amazing lyrics and intense thrash music, what a perfect blend. In general I think some tribute bands are interesting or even good, so I kind of had high hopes for Ms. Fits. While the band is kickin, the vocals are weak. In all fairness, it's impossible to compete with Glen Danzig... but this singer is pretty bad. With a good lead vocalist, Ms. Fits might be worth checking out. The singing on Hatebreeders and Green Hell is awful to be blunt. I'm not sure if by the end of the CD I get used to it or the vocals improve slightly but the stronger cuts are toward the end of the CD in Angel.... and Astro Zombies. Those are the highlights. The lowpoints are more frequent. It's a shame because the band has the cool factor down- they have Misfit-esque stage names, they have a good look, and like I said the band musically is tight. The vocals pretty much make it a difficult listen for me though.

Ruined my hair completely
I'm a white, 42-year old with thick, course hair. I was trying a new hair dresser and mentioned hating my course wavy hair, wishing it was easier to manage. He recommended Silis 1 by Framesi and said he'd been using it for years with great results. After the treatment, I waited 48 hours to wash my hair. It's SOOOO damaged. Very very dry and rough. I was so hopign to be able to air dry and not worry about my rough edges. Granted, my hair was bleached a while back and I since then went back to my natural color (which had to be colored of course to be dark again). If your hair is untreated, no color, no perms etc., this MIGHT work ok for you. However, if you have chemically treated your hair, I suggest you stay away from this or any other chemical relaxers. Trust me, I've tried a lot of things over time. My hair recovers nicely can really take abuse, so this must be a very very harsh product.

Not Worth The Trouble or the Money
I received this Cuisinart Sandwich Grill as a Christmas gift. Looks nice and I usually like Cuisinart products. Today we gave it a try with a grilled cheese and added some bacon and tomato. After reading the directions, two sandwiches were assembled and placed in the Sandwich Grill. Very soon we could hear sizzling noises and steam was coming out of the machine. When the indicator went to "ready", I tried to remove the sandwiches and this was accomplished with some difficulty. The toasted bread was dry and filling was much too hot. Cheese was oozing and this made for a messy meal. Cleaning up the Sandwich Grill was a pain.In summary, I could make the same sandwich on my stove top with a nonstick pan faster and with better results. And, clean up with a nonstick pan is always easy. Perhaps we'll give it another try, but I won't be in a hurry to use it again.

Honeywell HZ519 Heater
I got two of these. One was returned due to a dent on the grill, so only 1 is being used. This one is excellent. It works very quietly, completely noiseless. You almost don't know that it is turned on. It heats up pretty well. Keeps you warm and comfortable. Twice we forgot to turn it off, and it was left on overnight (we use it in our business). But next day, the business place was nice and warm, due to our oversight. The "caution" light has not turned on, even if we use it daily for over 8 hours straight. Operating it is simple. 1: Turn on the button, and 2: press the temperature, which you have previously set to lets say 75, and it's done. No further hassles. So all in all, this is a very good heater.

A must have!!
I bought a new fender telecaster in December and after a few weeks I suddenly realized I didn't have a case. I have many guitars and cases for the ones I gig with. I started looking for a case and I thought oh wow these things are expensive. Like $100 expense. I just want something to carry it in that way it won't get broke. I found this case and it was cheaper than the rest so I bought it. When I first got it I was amazed how good it looked. Not only did the outside look great but so did the inside. It even has a look and two keys. Very convenient if I can say. It has a few compartments in the inside to keep strings, picks, etc. Overall it is a GREAT buy. I would for sure recommend it. In fact I already have!

Not Reliable
This is a great beginner's camera... until it breaks. I got this Sony for one of my daughter's about two years ago. It worked well, easy to use, she liked it. So, I got another daughter one, again, great to use. Next, I got myself one. Nice camera. About seven months later, mine stopped working. It was still under warrenty, so I sent it to the Sony repair shop to get fixed. I was sent back a different, refurbished camera, told this is what they had, so this is what I got. Three months ago, one of the daughter's cameras broke, exact same problem-first you think the batteries aren't working, next it doesn't turn on all of the time, lastly, it stops working. Not under warrenty anymore, so too bad. Four nights ago, my other daughter said her camera was starting to show signs of the SAME problem. I called Sony's customer support. Yes, they were aware of the problem, and no, they would not replace the cameras. I'm planning to buy another brand for our next round of cameras.

VERY POOR TRANSFER
I have a large collection of IMAX DVDs. I enjoy them because the video quality is usually stunning. Playing them on my 65 inch screen normally produces a very fine picture. I dont know what happened with the transer on this film, but it is poor at best. Black and shadow areas are filled with artifacts and the overall picture quality is very grainy and rough appearing. The company responsible obviously chose to go the cheap route on the video tranfer. Also, I agree with the previous reviewer about the cliff climbing botanist. Too much time was wasted on this guy climbing a cliff without a line or safety helmet. The whole sequence may have been staged. I cant believe anyone would be so dumb and reckless to do this without some basic protection. This DVD will not be a keeper in my collection.

Another impluse buy, another disappointment. One of the most overrated movies ever.
I gave into the hype. I really did. As I did time and time again. But yet time and time again I keep getting disappointed. "The Social Network" did nothing right for me. It didnt start good, then slowly trickle down the hole of suck. The very first scene I was turned off. They spoke so fast, I didn't understand a thing, and they made Mark come off as a complete jerk. Not someone I would root for. Everyone that I gave this movie to said the same thing. Not a moment or scene of the movie I remembered either. And the ending was so abrupt it made me and my roommate go, "WTF? Are you serious?...wait...this can't be the ending." It embarrased me, to say the least.All in all, I'm not knocking the fans of the movie, if you love it that's great. I'm just delivering my honest to God opinion that I didn't enjoy it. "The Social Network" is terribly overrated.

This is a GREAT album....
This CD is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!! And...I don't say that often about albums. This is one of those albums you can listen to for days and never get tired of it. Kurt Cobain and Co. were at their best here...and it shows! They sound sooo much better in acoustic...it begs the question as to why they really needed electric guitars at all?! All of the songs are filled with such emotion, it is so easy to get attached to them and never let go. It is a tragedy that Kurt Cobain committed suicide at the height of his success. It's really sad to know that we won't be treated to any more live gems like this. Thank goodness MTV was smart enough to record this live masterpiece! The whole thing stands out. There is not one song that is better than any other. This CD should be part of every rock collection! So, if you haven't bought it yet...this is one you definitely want to get your hands on. It's a modern classic.

don't waist your money
When I saw this stroller online I got so excited. What a stroller for the money. But when I got it I was so upset and disappointed. First of all the quality. The bassnet has one steach in the middle that not me or my baby would be able to lay on it. When I contacted the company they said that I am lying and that it is not the reason for return. I was not even offered exchange. Second of all it is made in China, so u can imagine the quality and it is not mentioned anywhere. Plus if you decide to sent it back besides the pointthat you are paying for shipping both ways they still charging you 39.99 + 15% restocking fee. Rediculous because at the end you are getting around 100 dollars back and the rest is lost. I would not recomend them and don't waist your money

Nothing like this has ever been on earth before...
That was the tagline I believe for this very smart, very fun movie. At the time that was a very true statement. I still remember the first time I saw this film. I was chilled to the bone unlike I had ever been before (granted I was only 13). The film follows a group of US Army Commandos led by non other than the manly man himself Arnold Schwarzenegger (of whom I am NOT a fan but he works here) as they are picked off one by one by a mysterious creature. This creature has come down to hunt men and that he does. The action is top notch, and the final showdown between man and beast is brilliant. Even now, almost 20 years after the film's release, it's still top-notch entertainment. From the moment we see the skinned bodies hanging from the trees to the moment we hear that horrid creature laughing as he knows his life is over we are glued to our seats and ingrossed in one of the best action films ever to be released. And to think, this stars Arnold?!?!?!

Worst Pan Ever!
I have always had the utmost regard for Cuisinart and their quality of products. That is until I purchased this pan. This pan is warped on the bottom. Does not sit flat and rocks constantly. It also does not distribute the heat evenly. Everytime I use it I am frustrated and disappointed. It is worse than the cheap set of Farberware I got when I first moved out on my own 14 years ago. Ridiculous. I HATE this pan. I have no idea why I hate this pan so much and so many seem to love it. I wish I had gotten something else.

BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT BUYING THIS PRODUCT!!
The printer is dirt cheap but you end up making up for it if you use alot of ink. I'm writing this review out of fustration. I bought this printer at the beginning of September. It is now the end of October and this is my second time having to purchase ink. this is not acceptable at $50 dollars a pop for the black and color cartridges combined. It definately does not suit my needs. I don't necessary blame Epson I blame the salesperson who sold it to me. I told him I was a student and I would be using the printer for printing out reports, articles, etc. and he said this would be perfect. BE CAREFUL BEFORE BUYING THIS PRODUCT! THE LOW COST MAY NOT BE WORTH IT!!!

My Favorite Band EVER!!!!!
White Stripes is a great band. The music is truely special. The words the songs contain have a lot of meaning. i never adored a band this much. The way Jack sings, plays the guitar, and the way he makes up his songs is very unique. I like the simple drums that meg plays in the backround.( I want to have drums so bad). I can't get the band out of my mind. Everyday i go in my room and just listen to the songs over and over and over again all the c.d.s are real good. i love Jack, in love e-mail me. If you like Jimmi Hendrix (god bless him) and Led Zeplin u'll like White Stripes. Their don't really sound to much the same but the poetic blues with rock style is. people e-mail me with anything about them especially if your Jack or Meg White.Really all the c.d.s are great. Jack i can't get u out of my mind u look and are unique which is great. meg your also great.

Ohhhh Lucy
When you put together the remains of the three Ts, Tribe and En Vogue and stir well this is what you get. This is a fresh release for 2000 with beats for urban play and smooth R&B radio. Great concept and music. I wish Dawn Robinson got a couple of songs to really show off her stuff. Mr. Saadiq is on point and Muhammad is dropping beats all over the place. I hope "Without You" is released as the next single, it's got radio play written all over it. So if you're in the industry show some love to that song so we can get this product to platinum status where it belongs.Favorite Tracks: 1. Lucy Pearl's Way 3. Dance Tonight 7. Good Love 8. Without You 9. Don't Mess With My Man

HORRIBLE!
Thank god i didn't spend $8 but only $3 on a rental for this flop! The acting was so awful, what motivation did these actors have? and what happened to Lou Diamond? he was so good in La Bamba and now he is just losing the acting ability. The rest of the acting was down right terrible. The movie did have my attention for the bloody killing scenes but after about 45 minutes i totally lost interest. i didn't care about any of the characters as they were not interesting and if a bat did attack them, who really cared? and the Bats! what a hoot! they looked so fake. and even some of the effects for the attacked victims were bad..get a load of the dummies! don't bother with this if you really like horror movies or campy movies -- this wasn't even funny enough to be camp. STAy away from this one at the video store or you will regret it! trust me!

Some exclusive mixes...and little substance
Peter Rauhofer's discs are always anticipated because he puts a handful of unreleased tracks on his mixes. This is the only reason I buy his discs, because he never gives us a mix that is true Peak Hour stuff-stuff you'd want to listen to again and again at home. Track times on this volume are:CD11. dance with me (8:36)2. If you want me (7:23)3. Sleepers (2:58)4. In this world (6:00)5. Bucci bag (4:59)6. Execute now (5:56)7. Appreciate me (7:52)8. The light (7:02)9. Shined on me (5:53)10. Chemical generation (5:10)11. unique (7:31)CD2:1. my empire (6:52)2. No way back (5:29)3. Walking on thin ice (8:07)4. Liberta (5:10)5. It's U (7:16)6. Young hearts run free (5:56)7. Pounding your soul (7:51)8. Elephants (5:11)9. I Try (7:23)10. Ethno Pole (2:27)11. This is my House (6:43)

Joan-Just the way you love her!!! Campy dream!
I was given Beserk as a Christmas gift from a friend. Its absolutly fabulous you get Joan Crawford in leotards and tights in a circus outfit. She plays Monica Rivers, owner of Rivers circus You get to hear her bitch at everyone that works for her (and who doesn't). The plot is, theres a killer knocking off people in the circus but who is it! Is it the hairy women? The skinny skinny man? The midget? Is it Joan? Is it the new guy in her act who she is dating, who is half her age! The cast of supporting freaks is a lot of fun!!! This movie is a MUST HAVE for CAMP lovers and people who love cheesy movies! One of my favorite movies of Joans, I'd say more fun then StraitJacket.

Highly Recommended
I love this game! I have been a gamer for many years and while I enjoy it very much, I usually get stuck at some point and can't go any further. Not so with Pariah. It gets really tough at times but if you keep at it you can always find a way to get through. Without giving away too much, I got really involved with the characters. There is just enough story for me. It interests me and keeps me curious about what's going to happen next. The weapons are top notch. I have always loved my machine gun but there is a good variety. If one doesn't do the job you try another one and it gets it done. The graphics are extremely good for an older game. The only gripe I had when I started was no save game. You have to reach a save point to keep going. Having played for a while I'm not sure I would change that. I adds to the challenge. I haven't finished it yet but I know I'm going to. I can't recommend this game highly enough to anyone who likes a good shooter.

Over hyped eye candy with no plot
Okay, we all agree the visual effects were beyond the leading edge for the era. We all know today's computers can blow it away visually. But really, the plot is WEAK. The characters are so shallow. I mean, the farm mother loses her kid, and doesn't even seem that upset! Hello? And what is a single mother doing raising a young kid on a farm in the 70's? Where is the father? Where is the character development? Why didn't Dreyfus' wife put him in the psyche ward when he tore up the neighborhood? Why didn't the police drag him in for protective custody? The plot is so goofy and contrived it totally distracts from the big picture themes. The 1 star is only for visuals, otherwise, it ranks about a zero. One of the most over rated films of all time.

predictable, disappointing
After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to reading this book. I was very disappointed. It was predictable and trite. I was singularly unimpressed with the never-ending brawls. I got the feeling he was simply rewriting macho movie action scenes we've all seen ad nauseam. And of course, there had to be the beautiful women in distress that only Devlin could save. I found it interesting this "moral" man slept with the other woman character just hours after learning his love interest had been nabbed by the bad guys. But I guess we're supposed to accept that Jack Devlin just can't help himself and the ladies just can't resist him. This book is fine for those who enjoy this genre, I guess. From the reviews, I thought it was going to be a bit more cerebral and thought-provoking. It wasn't.

it work sometime
i had this for under two year. use it alot. i got this instead of getting the nikon mb80 because of the price and the extra battery. well i love it. about six month later. i realized that the camera doesn't reconized the battery or unit. maybe both i don't realy know. i had two battery and one nikon battery. sometime it worked realy well other time it doesn't even recognize the nikon battery. everything works quite well without the grip. one other thing is that when i put the opteka on a tripod if i turn the quick release to tight the battery pop out inside the holder. if i don't turn it tight then it be won't be very steady on the tripod. anyway, most of my shotting are done without a tripod. it's working ok right now. very figitty. i'm now willing to spend more for mb80. however, i'm going to keep the battery. the reseason i'm giving it two star is that does work sometime.

AN ADDICTIVE READ--THE BEST!!!!!
I am not really a series-type girl. But The A List is the exception to the rule. I actually know girls exactly like the girls in this book. I also party at the locations in the book, and evidently Zoey Dean does too or else she would not have such an inside scoop on the truth! This is hilarious to me! Also I often know when she's talking about someone famous but she slightly changed their name (maybe it's a legal issue or something) which is even funnier. In addition, the A List books are fun, absorbing, and very well written. Someone told me that Zoey Dean is really the chick who writes GOSSIP GIRL but I doubt that (who would have the time to write both?) and besides I consider The A List books much more literate. This chica can write. Love this series!

Very good-not great
OK so maybe I'm premature having just unpacked this camera today. I haven't printed any pictures yet but I did view them (and a video of my dog) on the TV. They look great. I shot at the highest resolution (7) because that is why I got the camera in the first place. My first real complaint with it is the very fuzzy LCD screen. I took out my Sony (H-1) and that LCD view is much clearer, colors more vivid, and crisper. Even my son said it was fuzzy. So I can't really trust what I see. In review however, the camera takes clear clean shots. It also packs a lot of nice features for an inexpensive point and shoot. Will report back after playing around for a few days.

Can you say Baggie?
This may not be a very useful review but here goes....I haven't used condoms in years. Mainly because I haven't had sex in years! Back in the "old days" when, on occasion, I did use a condom I found I had an allergic reaction to latex -- and ever since I've been curious about lambskin.While surfing on Amazon I found this product -- and the deal was too good to pass up: 6 packs of 3 condoms each for less than the cost of 1 pack of 3 condoms at the local store. I grabbed it! Of course the deal *was* too good to be true and my shipment included only *one* pack of 3 condoms. The seller refunded my purchase price in full.Alas, I digress. On to the product review....If your "member" (or that of your partner) is the size of a horse these *might* fit. Otherwise, just use a zip-lock type bag. These things are huge -- and I cannot imagine trying to keep them "secure" during intercourse. The one upside is that I experienced no latex allergies while, ummm, testing them. :/

Good for music, bad for video
Pros====1. Small and practical2. Good shape and presentation, software interface also nice3. Battery lasts for reasonable time (10hrs +/-)4. Display doesn't get scratched5. What you pay is what you get...its really worth for its price6. It was tested by the hearing organization...so you can adjust volume to 18/25 and its scientifically safe to not damage your hearing...Cons====1. Bad video compression (files get larger than original when transferring, like ten times bigger than a common mpg file)2. Creative media source doesn't sync mp3/wma tag changes (you have to actually delete the file from the mp3 player)3. Voice recording wont be understandable if you want to record a class or something (you have to be very close to the person who talks)4. When recording with line-in theres a back noise in the resulting recording... (I'm not really sure about this)

Junk
I have owned several of these.. Some make it to 300 miles, some to 900, and then the needle begins to swing wild and you no longer have any idea what speed you are going. Also.. The only odometer it has is a trip odometer and not a total miles. This speedo is junk. I can only wish that Sachs Huret still made them. I hope that someday soon some one will produce a quality version again of the traditional analog speedo. I can tell you this.. This one ain't it !!!

Love this tea!
Bought this through Amazon from The New Mall. Ordered on Sunday. Order processed and shipped on Monday. Recieved in perfect condition - it was well bubble wrapped. Shipping is more than the tea but hey for under $14 I have over a pound of tea. That is less than 6 cents a cup, half the price of the same in bag form even with free super saver shipping. That's only a bargain if the tea is good, and it is in my opinion. The Ceylon green tea is not grassy like many greens. The large broken pieces of leaf have a full and pleasant taste. Not bitter. The tea flavor definitely comes through in the blend. The bergamot smells wonderfully of citrus and tastes just as good. The bergamot is not overdone but isn't underdone either. Similar to the level of bergamot in Twinings but slightly less bright. This is my daily go to tea.

The Summoning
While "The Summoning" is an engaging and creepy story, I felt disappointed after reading.The author did a great job of creating potentially interesting characters, but didn't develop them. There was one pivitol moment when a frustrated wife reveals the deep-seated root of her anger at her husband--he didn't accompany her to the doctor when she had a breast cancer scare the year before. However, the author dropped it after the revelation. You also have to suspend disbelief. Didn't any of the "unaffected" people of Rio Verde think the black church was odd? Why were some affected and others not? Was it some character flaw on their part? A husband notices his wife acting oddly, but doesn't protect his daughter. Finally, very little explanation was given about creature itself. Where did it come from? Why Rio Verde? Was there a link between it and the Wing family, or was it coincidence? I came away from this story with more questions than answers.

Unsafe piece of junk, and no help from the company.
I bought this to replace the one that was sending an 'end of life" warning. Within a week it started going off in the middle of the night. Called the fire department. They couldn't find anything. Called the gas company. They couldn't find anything. I called First Alert and they knew about the problem. They had me disable the remote feature. Still went off in the middle of the night. After some arguing, they sent a replacement. It started going off in the night.I called to speak to a manager. Left a message, no call back. Left another message, no call back.This is worse than having no alarm at all because you don't react when it goes off. This product should be pulled from the market. It's unsafe.

Not Katie's best
I'v eread several other Katie MacAlister novels and had high expectations. I was, however, quite disappointed in this book. Where to begin? Perhaps the heroine: annoying, unfocused, frenzied without being funny. The hero: Well, gee, I never really understood him. What motivated him? What possible interest could he have in Alex, as annoying as she was? How in the world did they fall in love? Too fast, too frenzied, not enough of the basics. This book bugged me so much, in fact, that I almost dropped the author from my list of must-buys. I can heartily recommend several other of Katie's books, though: Sex and the Single Vampire, Hard Day's Knight, Noble Intentions.

Absolutely one of the best books I have ever read!!!!!!!!
I read this book all throughout my childhood and into my teenage years. I still think of it sometimes. It's certainly as good as Madeline L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time," which I have never forgotten, either. I got chills and cried everytime I read "Behind the Attic Wall." I still get chills when I think about this book. It's perfectly written- almost creepy. Dolls can be so creepy. I think this book must have fostered my current love of psychological thrillers. Please give this book to your pre-teen ASAP. Then read it yourself (if you're female, of course- a man would not like this book- too girly) It doesn't matter how old you are. You won't be disappointed. Trust me. Now go!

Finally!
After years of wondering why this great horror classic was not available until now is revealed! We nowdays take for granted that every movie will be available on DVD and unrated. So why did it take so long for this film to be released? The studio misplaced the cut scenes! In fact director Stuart Gordon was originally told that they were thrown away. Luckily for us in 2005 someone found them! Now we all get to see one of the most original horror films of all time the way it was supposed to be seen.If you have not seen this film, there is no real way of describing it properly. You just have to see it. It's thrilling, well acted, and gory as hell. You'll be talking about it for days with your friends. Plus at a good price, you just have no excuse owning it. A great addition for your horror collection if you already love Gordon's Re-Animator films and his take on Lovecraft stories.
