Lipovarin Review
So far I have lost 17 lbs. and feel great after taking Lipovarin for 3 weeks. I have had a decrease in my appetite and it has made it easier to eat more healthy and be more selective about the food I eat. I have also increased my water intake. I also committed to a gym membership. I started a strict routine of 30 minutes of cardio vascular (bike or stepper) followed by alot of crunches. I will probably get one of the guys that work at the gym to train me since I don't have alot of weight lifting experience. I want to get back into the shape I was in when I was in College. I was very thin naturally. Somehow after I got married I got a gut. The gut has to go. I am doing great so far with Lipovarin.

love the zune
I love this item better then my ipod nano. I love it, because I can store more music. I can also download albums from the zune store and I can share those downloads with my husband's mp3 player. At the zune store I found all the albums I wanted new and old. And with unlimited downloads for an affordable monthly fee. I like the size of the screen and also that it has FM. The tuner is great, because if theres a song playing it tells me the name of the song and who sings it. Now I will always know who sings that song!!!!! I find it easier to put pictures. Just everything seemed so much easier to understand and to do. I read that some people had problems downloading the software, but I didn't. And I love love love the color.;o)

Not very interesting or fun
I didn't love it. In fact it took me a month to read it. I'd flip through the stories, read one, skip the next...I eventually read all of them. I didn't like the L.A. Banks story at all, but then again, I hated "Minion." If I tried to write as "ethnic" as she does, my review would say, "Oh vey! The schmaltz in that story made me messhugana! So much mishigas for a little shtup!" Enough already. I liked the Charlaine Harris story, that was worth reading. Overall, phooey on this collection. I've read novels by most of the authors and enjoyed them more than the individual stories here, with the exception of Jim Butcher; I didn't like his Dresden books but thought the story here was well written and interesting. I really like the paranormal genre so this book was a dissapointment for me.

A Witty, Real Life Approach to Relationships
Reading Mr. July's book reminds me of the time I was in high school. Most of the girls I liked wanted athletes and I was not one. I was a smart and ambitious kid but I was very thin. My social life was at best a "C". Later after I finished high school and college, I attended my 15 year high school class reunion. Some of the girls that were not interested in me in high school were now very interested. However, I only wanted to catch up on what people were doing and spend time with my old friends. You see I had my beautiful wife at home (and still do). The point is sometimes women are so focused on finding Mr. Perfect that they overlook Mr. Right who is less than two feet away. I hope every single woman in America reads this book. I know there are a lot of guys who could be Mr. Right if only they got the chance.

of limited value, authentic or not
This book is definitely old school. Most of it features very simple cooking very heavy on egg, sour cream, butter and/or meat. If you eat this way or would like to, you probably don't need this cookbook to tell you how to do it! Venturing away from these types of dishes, for a number of the recipes the instructions and/or ingredient amounts don't really make sense or don't include enough detail. Proceed with caution and use your common sense. (I think some things got lost in translation--through time, place and/or language.) There are a few interesting ideas and combinations, some of them more appealing than others. e.g. Beets with cloves worked for me. Potato with prunes, and kidney beans with poppy seeds not so much. Are the recipes "authentic"? I wouldn't know, and the book offers no supporting information. Either way, I think the book requires far too much filtering and deciphering to be of much use, however.

Ibiza
Every year Hed Kandi spends time in Ibiza, one of the hottest places to party in the world. Then they release a compilation, with highlights from their shows. There are three discs, one for each part of the day (morning, afternoon, evening). The first disc is mainly chillout, with highlights include Bonnie Bailey's "Trust", Latrice Barnett's "Lessons Learned From Goodbye", Bliss' "Don't Look Back", and many others. Disc two is more danceable, but still kind of laid back. Artists here include Soulshaker fear Lorraine Brown on "Hypnotic, Erotic Games", Lovemakers "The Feeling", Liquid People "Ice Cream Parlour", and many others. Disc three is for when you are getting ready to go to a club. My favorite track here is the remix of Late Night Alumni's "Empty Streets", the Aurora Remix, it's awesome! Other favorites include Peyton's "I'll Rise", BodyRockers "I Like The Way", Armand Van Helden "Into Your Eyes", Seamus Haji's "Angels of Love", and more. Check it out! A great three disc compilation!

Good for a read, but.....
This book was interesting to read, at least. The author joins a strip club to pay off her college loans and then stays on because she can make a lot of money and she likes it. What I don't undertstand how a person who got into Brown could be so stupid. I mean, she joins a strip club and then whines about having people treat her badly. You want to say to her, "Well, if you weren't a stripper and would work honestly, people would have a better perception of you!" She tries to make stripping seem like harmless, easy fun. I was very disturbed by a review that said that a 19 year old girl read it and wanted to be a stripper. The sad thing is that stripping is demeaning, for both the men and women involved. The men are only seen as a source of money, and the women are seen as sex objects. For any young girl who has read this book or is considering to be a stripper, please don't!! Bottom line: Taking your clothes off for money is sleazy. Period.

Overrated: Not a classic at all
I read it out of pure curiosity. I`ve heard that it was a classic and I wanted to see for myself. This book can only be considered "classic" in that it was one of the earliest of its kind adressing teenage anxieties. So I give Salinger credit for being a pioneer; but the book was not written that great and is quite boring at times. A quarter through the book; I felt my self saying "I get the point already!"The next step for me was to try to compare it to other "classics." Of course this is subjective but I read the Illiad last summer, and felt it was one of the best pieces ever written. I felt the same way about Tolstoy`s "War and Peace." Lord of the flies, of Mice and Men are much better works. I am left wondering what is the big deal about this work. I`ll gladly take Anne Rice any day.

A little bit... creepy. But good.
This is described as "sweet" and "lovely" by other reviewers. I'm probably just a bad person or something, but initially I just get a sort of creepy feeling from it. Maybe you have to read the whole series to get it. Right now it's just disturbing me. I'm not saying it's not good; it's terrifically well written and drawn and told. I think part of the reason it's giving me the crawlies is *because* it's so well done. If it were silly, or dumb, it wouldn't be nearly so affecting. But Clamp - the quartet of women who write it - take their craft seriously, and it shows.Initially it's about a very, very innocent girl who lives alone. A man moves in next door. She likes him...The emptyness of the rooms, the teddy bears sitting on the floor to see her off and greet her; you can almost hear the silence of the house. That's what's giving me the shivers. Ignorance is not bliss. I'll probably have to read the rest of them or it's going to bug me forever.

SYAR - DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR
Syar was a Harrogate based act that were dogged by a good deal of ill fortune in their formative years. Formed in 1981, Syar's January 1982 demo attracted the attention of a German producer, who put Syar into the studio to record a debut album 'Deep In The Night'. Problems ensued when the studio bill could not be met and Syar were forced to use these sessions purely in demo form. These demos attracted the attention of CBS Records, but interest soon cooled. At this juncture, independant Future Earth Records offered the band a deal, which in turn led to a European deal with Mausoleum Records. The album was retitled 'Death Before Dishonour', and released in 1984.SYAR - DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR1. On The Streets2. Speeder3. Find The Angel4. I'm Taking Off5. Death Before Dishonour6. High Flyer7. Judgement8. Taking A Gamble9. Warriors10. Trailblazer11. Deep In The Night.... For lovers of all things NWOBHM.

Awesome Little Dog!
I recently got this dog for my 14th B-day, and to be totally honest I love it! The Tekno( know known as Zeech ) is totally cool. Zeech can do all kinds of things like following me around the house, and responding to my voice. I have really come to think of him as a real dog and not as a toy. I normally dont play with toys, but I thought this was neat so I asked for it on my B-day. He can do basically everything a real puppy can do except for sitting and laying. But that is no big deal in my opinion. Sure it would be nice but oh well. He can do a awesome card trick, howl in the dark, slurp when you give him his bone, and other stuff. They made a special dalmation one and if you can get a good deal on that, you might want to get it, for they are rare. ... So if I were you I would go buy one!

In America
What a disappointing bore! Our reading group expected an interesting and vibrant story about the utopian communities that formed in California in the 1870s. What we got was a long-winded diatribe without enlightnment of the supposed subject matter. Where was the plot? Where was the character development? In terms of both style and content, our book club all agreed that this was the most poorly written book we've read. Some of the books we've thought had interesting, thought-provoking stories include: Tales of Genji, White Oleander, Yellow Raft on Blue Water, and The Poisonwood Bible. We didn't feel that there was any beauty to the writing in Sontag's book. We agreed that we would have been interested in discovering more about the characters and their lives. However, it elicited no emotions or insights for us. It didn't capture the beauty of California or inform the reader about early California life. It was just rambling blah, blah, blah!

Alright THQ, let's get real.
What were they thinking? It has little next to nothing to do with the Red Faction, which what was the original was all about. There is no real POINT to the game. and with all the twists and turns, you don't know if you're the good guy or the bad.And if all this isn't bad enough, they make it short. you can beat it in a two day time span. This is not worth [$$] I can assure you that much.While the game is somewhat fun, it is basically a different game. It only slightly mentions Red Faction a couple of times. You see a character or two of the Red Faction, and that's about it.The game doesn't take place on Mars either. That was half the thrill of the other one. You don't really know what your going to run into in mines that are underground in Mars.The geo-mod in this game is okay, but there is a lot of mesh wiring under most surfaces, making it impossible to pass through.Rent this before you consider buying it. It will save you a heart attack wallet wise.

Oh For crying out loud
What a horrid song. As if the boy she is talking to has any say in whether or not she's allowed to love him forever. She can love anyone forever if she wants to. But why anyone would love her back is beyond me. I'm thinking of suing the label for producing what they call "music." I call it pure garbage. Put it in the garbage disposal. Buy Eiffel 65's "Europop" instead. Oh. I lied. I don't give this 1 star. I give it -5000 or less. Probably less.

Aweful bluetooth headphones
Got them and opened the box. After holding them for a minute, I noticed the right arm was broken close to the back part. I thought, well, nothing hot glue cant fix, and that solved that problem. Took them to the gym and did a 1.5 hour lifting session with absolutely no issues linking up to or playing songs off my new iTouch 64GB player. Worked well with my off brand phone as well, just like it said it would in the write up.What it doesn't mention is the fact that when you sweat, all the controls stop working completely. I learned this when I went on a 30 minute run. I sweat when I run, just like any other person who runs. WHY on earth would you make a bluetooth "Active" headphone set that can't take any moisture at all? These headphones are an EPIC FAIL!!!DO NOT BUY THESE. I am disappointed and completely DONE with Motorola products all together. This isn't the first of their products to fail on me.GMR

Ugh. Waaaaay too crude for me.
A co-worker of mine and I were talking the other day and telling stories about our past jobs. We learned that we had both worked as wait staff in restaurants, before, and he asked me if I had ever seen this movie. I said no, and he told me "You have to see it! It makes fun off all the stuff that goes on in a restaurant work environment - complaining about tips, grouchy customers, cooks messing with people's food, management hitting on the young high-school-age hostesses and all that other stuff." Well, I found it at the library the other day and gave it a try. I made it (painfully) through a half-hour before I just turned it off. It was way too crude and profane for me. I'm not into that type of movie. I felt dirty for watching that much of it. I kept on hoping it would get better, but it only got worse. I wouldn't recommend this movie to ANYONE.

Top Choice for All
This book is an amazing first person account of one woman's journey, but it is much more than that. Ms. Chilton offers all of us an example of the kind of heart and spirit that it takes to overcome adversity and to triumph over it. I read it cover to cover in one day, unable to put it down. Once completing the book, I was left with a feeling of warmth and joy. It was as if I had come through the journey with Ms. Chilton myself. This is a MUST read for anyone dealing with this themselves. But it is also very entertaining, enlightening, enriching and inspirational. I would be remise if I didn't also mention how thorough, well organized and wonderfully written this book is. Ms. Chilton is obviously one amazing woman. It took a great deal of courage and caring for her to offer herself to help others in this way. I hope there is more to come, I would love to read a follow up.

These were obviously refurbished razors and repackaged. DO NOT BUY THESE!!! PLEASE!!! You will end up with razor rash; they are not sharp at all, and will only bring misery. Sadly, I was trying to save money, but it's not worth it. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!!! I ended up buying replacements in the grocery store, but at least I had a clean shave. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!! THEY ARE "REFURBISHED BLADES OR FAKES!!!!". THE RASH FOR WEEKS IS NOT WORTH IT!!!

Terrible
If you run anything that needs a constant connection (MIRC,online radio,web cams) this router isn't it. Linksys still hasn't done a thing about the streaming media bug. This is when you try to use a link that pops open the Window Media player which promptly crashes the router every time. The "English as a second language" guy in India thumbed his way through the manual and suggested all of the usual crap(MTU,etc) , which of course was fruitless. I can crash it on demand every time. I've tried all of the firmware I can find and searched the forums to try and eliminate the issue without a solution. Very frustrated. I guess it's time to start over and get a Pre N, or wait for the standard to ratify. I also tried the VOIP unit for my Callvantage phone. It was worse than this unit(Went to the D-Link unit. You get what you pay for. Can you say Belkin Pre-N?If anyone gets a fix for this, I'd appreciate it if you send it my way. [...]

Too many plastic parts
I inherited this pencil sharpener from another teacher. I initially found it to be great. Certainly much better than the other electric pencil sharpener that many other teachers at my school have. But it stopped working recently. I thought it was jammed so I brought it home in order to take it apart and fix it. What I found was the central part that rotates was broken. Why? Because it is made of plastic. Several other internal parts are plastic as well. This machine is designed to break. It lasted for one school year, which is pretty good for a relatively cheap sharpener. But after 5 years you will wish you had spent at least $100 and purchased one that was built to last.

GREAT BUY GREAT PRODUCT
These hole punches work awesome. Well worth the price. The plastic box is just fine. Same as youd find in any hardware store selling the same product. If you want better make your own. I used these to cut holes for grommets in the Sumpreme Moving quilts. Intially I started using a rubber mallet for hammering the punches (just because I saw online demonstrations using one) this is a mistake! You dont get enough force and the end result is the tools not cutting a hole easily. Use a metal hammer both for the punches and when setting the grommets. The people commenting that these punches arent sharp enough, probably were using a rubber mallet. As it makes the punches seem dull. After switching to a metal hammer it was like night and day. Great buy, great product. PURCHASE.

Simply the greatest comic genius of our time.
When Lenny Bruce was alive, he had little success. Bill Hicks was in the same boat. Although he had become popular in the UK, he was a little too "out there" for our networks and media bigwigs to know what to do with. Here me now and believe me later: Bill Hicks was the greatest comic mind of our generation. A true comedian's comedian. He saw the stupidity of our society, the ignorance of our ways, and wove a tapestry of anger, cyniscism and hilarity that was simply too funny and too true to be put in a neat little marketable package. You doubt me??? buy this CD, and then buy Arizona Bay. Bill Hicks would be a household name today if cancer hadn't taken him out. What a loss. If only someone else could pick up where he left off.

Did I get bad unit?
I purchased the USB version for my notebook, and based my decision on the other reviews that were good. However, I did not have the same experience. I am an advanced computer guy who was building computers in 1990, so I know how to follow directions. I also have a Gateway with a P4 2.13, and 1 Gig of Ram. I had to reload the program at least 4 times, and do a system restore. Then the TV would work, but not the FM. Tech Support was Ok. They gave me an update to download, and it fixed the problem. The next day, when I tried to record TV, after about 20 seconds the computer froze, and the program did not work again after many trials. Also, the mini-plug they put in the box, did not stay in the jack. I am sending it back, and have ordered a Hauppauge 1020 WinTV USB. A little simpler, and hpefully less buggy. I just want to watch TV on my computer and record a little.

You get what you think about
I know people just don't want to believe we create our own reality- not just for ourselves but as a mass conciousness. But we do. This book is great for beginners of conscious creation, but for the next stage go to the "masters". Seth, through Jane Roberts, teaches deeper levels of this in The Nature of Personal Reality and The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events. Lynn received her inspiration and techniques from Abraham, through Esther Hicks. The books are A New Beginning Parts 1 & 2. The website is www.abraham-hicks.com and it the best source of this information. I just saw Wayne Dyer in Boston and it is clear he is an Abraham/Hicks reader. His workshop will be on PBS in spring of 2004. Guess what, folks? This is becoming clearer every single day. Take your power back and create your life on purpose, connected to the Spirit you really are.

41/2, but it's still a must own for trioheads.
Alkaline Trio is back again. After 2003's successful "Good Mourning", the band has finally shifted into a new direction. And that new direction? More rhythum, not so much punk rock. The dark lyrics, allthough present on this album, are not nearly as dark as the Alk 3 we are all use too. This album is also 99% curse free, minus one s word. Strange for the Alkaline Trio.Time To Waste is by far the best song on the album, and the first single. But other great songs include "Burn", "I Was A Prayer", "Mercy Me", "Deathbed", and "Sadie". But this whole album sparks a much different turn for the Alkaline Trio.Someone told me awhile ago that this album is what thier last sounded like, and they went back into the studio and changed it at the last minute. Intersting. Well "Crimson" is a great album, and is very much an Alkaline Trio album, I can't help but say that "Good Mourning" was a better album, as well as all the other albums.

The worst vacuum cleaner I've ever owned.
I bought the Hoover Windtunnel in Sept. of 2003 when we moved to Texas. What a mistake. (Guess I was suckered in by the ads). Anyway, while assembling it (with the assistance of the painters who were painting the interior of our house before we moved in) - I was immediately struck at how cheap it looked. Everything was made of plastic and didn't quite fit right. (Even the painters commented on that.) Since then, I've been extremely disappointed by the fact that the hose keeps coming off. Also, the clip that holds the pipe in place has been broken off by a minor collision with a door. Hair is continually stuck in the brushes and needs to be cut with scissors and drawn out manually (yuck). Also, the suction is way less than desirable. All in all this is without question the WORST vacuum cleaner I've ever owned. (I'm 50 years old and have owned quite a few in my life!)

It rocks
hey there, wanna tell you why most of you guys didn't like Schism? Because you weren't supposed to play it! Go play Larry, Syberia or something else! For those of you who have no patience DO NOT BUY Schizm. Yes it's a difficult game but most puzzles are very nice. They have no ... solutions like aother ...adventures. I am a die-hard Riven player and I find Schizm very astonishing too. To be honest I haven't finished it yet but I will in a couple of days I guess. For those of you who REALLY Like Myst series, just like me, go buy Schizm now! For you who have found games like Syberia difficult don't even bother. A Two suggestions.Buy the dvd version cause the graphics on the CD version kinda [stink].Suggestion two;Don't give up,be patient,and listen to Schism too(!)

Vector Hard Cover
I have read all of Robin's books. I enjoyed every one of his books except Sphinx. It was very slow to get into and took almost till the end to enjoy the story. Vector was to predictable and very slow to get into. Robin were you having writers block with this book? It took me over a month to read. Usually one of his books, I can finish in a week or shorter. My all time favorite is Acceptable Risk. Please re-read it and write one that can continue with it. This book kept my interest and yet was scared to find out what would happen next. Write an Acceptable Risk II.

Learn formZ 5.0 for architecture book 1
This book is in desperate need of a proof reading. I am an intermediate user of formZ and managed to wade through the numerous errors (2-3 per exercise) to the end of the book. If you are new to formZ, chances are you won't know enough to work past the errors and get back on track. If you're an experienced user, you won't find anything new in this book. Don't be fooled by the title. There is nothing in the book that covers the new features of version 5.0. There are also files missing from the cd that are needed to complete the project. I contacted STEM to see if I could download the files and it took two weeks to here back from anyone. When they did reply, they assured me that they would send me a disk with the missing files. This was four months ago and I have twice reminded them but received absolutely no response. I am extremely disappointed.

Terrible Experience
I order this thinking it was a great value. Well it was too good to be true. Not sure where all the great ratings are coming from. I order for x-mas. Got it after x-mas...not a big deal. I opened the package and it all looked like the cover you see here. The only problem was it was not the right game. It was FIFA Football 2003. How does that happen? It also was in German which is again not a big deal but it was not clear to me that is was in German when I ordered it.I have to return the item to Germany at my cost to get a refund. Buy beware of Momox.comShame on you Amazon as well!

Quite possibly the most terrible movie I have ever seen...
This movie was flat out terrible. It was ridiculous, and many things had no point to it. Somethings I couldn't even follow. It was going so fast, too fast kind of like the running time. It jumped from one thing to another. It was pretty bad camara work too. I didn't have as much fun as I did watching A Hard Days Night. The only part I actually kind of enjoyed and amused me was when George, magician George, said "a song" that was the only thing that amused me because it was so random, and since my humor is different it actually got a laugh from me. I felt like pauls grandfather in A Hard Days Night. I felt like I was going from "a train and a room, a car and a room, and a room and a room!" Don't buy, whatever you do...

Tony 3 ROX
THSP 3 is another great addition to the THPS line. With enhanced multiplayer modes like Graffiti, Trick Attack, King of the Hill, and Slap!. Career "checklist" changes for what trick style your skater has. A better create-a-skater to change gender, height, and change more about the pros. They took out Bob Burnqust(I think that's how you spell it) and added Bam Margera. You can do different combos like double and triple kickflips, heelflips and impossobles. You don't win money, but, like in #1, there are stat points and new decks. There are many more special tricks to choose from, also. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the skate park editor is really a step backwards. There are not as many options as THPS 2. Regardless, this is a great game!

Incredibly frustrating. Laurell, you are testing my patience.
I was incredibly disappointed with this novel. The story moved absolutely nowhere. I keep going back to Ms. Hamilton for my faerie-fix, and I enjoyed her third book in the series, even though there was so much sex even I found it harder to swallow (no pun intended). When I bought the fourth installment of her series, I expected her to take a break from the gratuitous sex and maybe let the plotline develop....for example, LET HER GO TO THE SEELIE COURT! But instead, not only does she do more of the same, she decides to make all 300-plus pages about one 24 hour period! I literally screamed in frustration. Sure, some cool goddess manifestations happen, but sheez. To me, it almost seemed like she didn't know where to go with the story, so she just threw more sex in. Ms Hamilton: You tried a new method. We are not amused. PLEASE get back to the plot. And give Doyle's character more pages. He's the best guard *smirk*.

Waiting for the sequel
Quite informative and not at all simply a "bathroom read" as one reviewer here has opined. The book covers topics from A to Z (E.g. "Actors", "Fireballs", "Talking in the Movies"). However, if your particular interest is "Goofs", the basics are covered (E.g "Bloopers", "Boom mikes") but you'll find much more for specific movies at the Internet Movie Database (imdb.com). Another reviewer here states the index could be better. I agree. The index seems to be inconsistent, listing only some of the book's topics, but lots of movie titles and actors. For example, a question on the book jackets asks" Why don't movie actors wear seatbelts?". Good luck finding the answer easily. A handful of the movies chosen for inclusion may seem obscure, but this is still an entertaining book. And you'll also find out a little more about Ebert's way of thinking.

Bad for Laymon
Boring. Thats the only way to discripe this awful novel. Boring. It started alright, with six kids and a teacher contacting the dead with an ouiji board. A quest for treasure, alone in the woods. Sounds creepy, right?Wrong. I have never been so bored with a horror novel. The villans were awful, the dialog second rate, and no suspense. The usual Laymon trademarks were a little shallow.The Travling Vampire Show was creepy and great. Island was a funny blast. In The Dark was chock full of suspense. Pass this one up.

Disappointing release
Being a fan of all Disney animated cartoons and features, I regret to say that I was quite disappointed by this release. The problem isn't with the subject matter, but with what's actually on the DVD. As an earler reviewer mentioned, scenes were cut in which characters were seen smoking. I have to ask why? (Espcially when they leave in a scene which shows a "young" airplane drinking gasoline). What else was removed from the movie that we don't know about? In the bonus material they mention two other characters, an armadillo and a burro, which weren't part of the feature. Were they originally? I recall seeing the burro character as a child while watching the Wonderful World of Disney on NBC. Maybe an expert on Disney movies could enlighten us.Disney, let parents decide what their children should watch. Remain true to the original films.

Great Book
This book is about Brian Robeson, a 13 year old boy. One day he was flying to see his father. Everything was fine until the pilot had a heart attack. Brian had to land the plane by himself in the L shaped lake. Brian had to swim to the surface of the lake. He learned to hunt, catch fish, fool birds, and rabbits. He was faced with many difficulties such as the moose. The moose gave Brian bad rib injuries. A tornado destroyed everything he had worked so hard making. In the end Brian was rescued. I thought this book was good except for Brian repeating himself too much.

NO LETS NOT GO TO CAMELOT.
I thought this was a dull movie. atipical of tv moives. littel charture and meandering plot. Sam neil is an allright actor but he does not make that much of an impresion as merlin. nicol williamson was much better. we have a lot of big time hollywood actors in here but they also dont make much of an impression. we also have an evil fairy queen not in the original leagend. most of the arthurian figures are in the back ground not really convicingly portrayed. lancelot, guinever, morgan le fay, uther, and arthur himself had very littel charture. they had no pesonality. they were just their. they are like cardboard figures of the arthurian chartures.

Bland and blah
Great concept, bad execution. I'm all for cutting down on sugar intake and I love to bake, so finding lower calorie options or just healthier options is always great.I only made 1 of the recipes...the Cinnamon Orange Bread. Before putting the batter into the pan I tasted it. Yuck. Not remotely sweet-and I used regular rather than unsweetened OJ. Not even flavorful for that matter. Flavor doesn't have to mean sweet but the title of the book is Sweet and Sugarfree. I ended up chopping dried cranberries and apricots and adding to the batter before baking. Nothing. No help whatsoever. It's in the garbage.Fortunately I only bought this book for $3.00 at a second hand store, because if I'd spent more than that I'd feel pretty ripped off.

WoW!!
Oh My God! This album is awsome! I think that this is the best album Nick ever made! It is so good that even guys get into it. Most of the time girls only listen to Nick Carter, Backstreet Boy, ect. basicaly boy bands, but this album changed it. Even my 18 year-old brother likes it. Nick's voice is amazing! By having Nick Carter do a solo album it brought out his vocie more because he is the only one singing (except his backup singers of course) and when he was in the Backstreet Boys there where 4 other voices. Most of the time when he was with the Backstreet Boys he didnt get that many parts to sing either. Here's a perfect example, in the song "The perfect Fan" Nick only had like 3 words he sang by himself. I can't wait for WBLI Winter Jam...so I get to see Nick sing songs from this album in concert!

Good Advice, realistic, very informative
I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when I was 12 years old. I went through the sulfa drugs, the prednisone, the sick-days. Figuring out the right foods was some trial-and-error. This book reduces the learning curve for eating habits for IBD. I learned things the hard way and just avioded what hurt, this book tells you WHY certain foods do things. It also tells you what foods can help reduce flare-ups and the runs. From my own 12 years of living with Crohn's this is the best resource I have found yet that keeps it simple and realistic. If you have had IBD for years you'll probably still learn something. If you were recently diagnosed, first I'd like to say I'm sorry, but next I'd add that taking care of yourself physically and mentally is KEY. Diet can play a suprisingly big role in both. Good luck, and read this book.

Fantastic book
This is my favorite book! I was so absorbed in this book that I stayed up until 10:30 on school nights, just to read it. When you read this book, you absolutely fall in love with it! I know I did. I am not a real bookworm - reading is a chore for me - but I read this book in 5 DAYS. I can relate to Lina. I know if I were in her place, I would dream about another world or insist on decoding the Instructions. When you read this book, you either relate to Lina or Doon. These best friends are complete opposite, yet exactly the same. My favorite part is when they arrive on real ground (our world) and see the sun rise for the first time. What an experience that must have been for them! They don't even have sky where they are from. I told all my friends about this book because I loved it so much. You should read this fantastic book, too.

10 things I never knew about War of the Worlds
This is billed as the first really faithful version of Wells classic novel. It's certainly very different and I learned a lot. Namely -1. Wells' novel is not set in Woking, England, but in Washington State2. The narrator is not a writer but a Freddie Mercury impersonator years ahead of his time3. Waterloo Station, London looks just like Seattle4. No-one could talk with a proper English accent in England5. The Martian war machines are not solid, so they are able to float through water without disturbing it6. London was a medieval village7. It's entire population was one woman, but she committed suicide8. Big Ben is lighter than air9. Martians look like blancmange10. Even in the middle of the night, the sun shines very, very brightly

Gorgeous and perfect doll
This is a dream of a doll. She smells divine (my daughter calls the scent vanilla frosting) and is beautiful and durable. The quality of the doll is the best of any doll we have owned. The best part is her hair. It can be washed and brushed and styled. My 3 year old will do this for hours. Her hair never tangles in to a mess like other dolls hair. This size of doll is perfect for a young girl who is not yet ready for the American Girl dolls. The Corolle clothes you can buy for her are very expensive, but I found some darling handmade ones on etsy for a reasonable price. This is a toy we will be saving forever. It's a classic.

Beat in Germany...YES!
Personally my favorite music is called "Beat".Beat music from 1962 to 1966 in any language appeals to me. Just by looking at the cover of this CD, I knew it would be great. The Rattles '62 to '65 was good...really good! If you like the Beatles early stuff but are tired of listening to those same old songs you will definitely like this! They are not a copycat group either. The songs are fresh interpretations, done the "Rattles" way. All the tracks are in English except a few, but the booklet is in German, alas....as with all the Smash, Boom, Bang series booklets in their CDs. But that doesn't matter. The music speaks for itself. "Sunbeam at the Sky" and "What do you want with my Baby"-exciting and outstanding!...songs I never heard of before until now.Check out other Smash, Boom, Bang titles!...THIS IS MUSIC!!

Good product. Treat delicately.
This works as described. My audio hardware on my laptop went out (completely), so I bought this so I can at least use headphones. Works great. Installed correct driver after plugging in, no work required. There are only 2 cons I can think of.1. It IS flimsy. Be careful of hitting/bumping it on something while it's inserted into your computer.2. Must change volume from the OS/headphones, which sometimes takes a bit of time. Not a huge deal tho.I'm just happy that it brings audio back to my computer. On a plus side, it accidentally went through the washer, and it still works! I also have the other USB audio device that some suggest on other reviews, and I can honestly say that that is a better product, but this one is by no means bad if you treat it delicately.

It's over!!
Her Career is over, my friends. She's trying to do her best (and whatever it takes!) to get back in track but she lost it a long time ago. Her 15 minutes of fame are done and gone. That she is a multimillionaire young woman? Yeah, she is. That she still has a big fan audience? Yeah, she has. But that's about it! Her big glitter spotlight splendor is down in flames. Bye, Britney.

Think Twice Before Buying
I bought this player thinking I would be able to use it to listen to my music and the radio on my daily commute. The radio worked fine. The MP3 player worked, but I could not load music on either of my computers. I have a Macintosh desktop at home. The Mac would recharge the device, but did not recognize it. The other computer I have is an HP laptop with an XP operating system. It would not recognize the player at all, I kept getting an error message. Once, during the two hours I messed with it, it froze and had to be rebooted. I called tech support and found out that the Sandisk Sansa 250e will not work with a Mac at all. His other suggestion was that the device needed Microsoft Media Player version 10 or 11 or it would not work. I checked my laptop and it had version 11. I sent it back and got my money back. I bought an Ipod clone that works great on either system.

Easy to maneuver Workhorse
Bought the Milwaukee 44915 hand truck for several reasons.1) Made in USA. For me that means quality construction and, if needed, being able to contact the manufacturer.2) Large weight capacity. This truck is being used in my vintage furniture refinishing / sales business. At 800 lbs. capacity, it is doubtful that I'll come up against anything that can't be moved with the 44915.3) Large tires. This makes moving items, even over uneven lawns, floors, etc. very easy.3) The D-handle allows one hand use so it is easier to close a door while still balancing a load.4) Large toe plate. This simply makes carrying large or odd sized object a bit easier.5) Fold-down accessory bar. Great for carrying boxes or lighter furniture - but still heavy duty.This is a well made, heavy duty hand truck that is still relatively light weight and easy to maneuver. Amazon Customer Service was very helpful in providing extra detail about the construction. Fast delivery, too. I'm very satisfied.

Poorly researched, incomplete and inaccurate
Having just read this so called biography, I am amazed at some of the comments from readers and reviewers alike. "Well researched"?"Well documented"? "Balanced"? The book is full of errors!There are blatant mistakes and distortions on virtually every page! E.G.Page 15: Filignano is in the Molise region not Abruzzi. Page 37: The RCA contract was signed in February 1945 not October 1944. Page 47: The apartment was not rent free. Lanza paid $75 per month for it.Page 219: Lanza and Di Stefano never met. I know Di Stefano. They only spoke twice on the telephone.Need I go on? I have spent a lifetime researching the life and career of Lanza (the last 20 years working on a biography.)I cannot believe that Amadeus actually published this almost completely inaccurate book. As for Mr. Bessette, I don't know his motives for attempting this futile exercise, but the mere fact that he relied on Al Teitelbaum as his main source of information says it all.

Reads about as exciting as an accountant's spreadsheet
Adam Chapel is a CIA agent who is actually a forensic accountant. He follows trails of money. There is an apparent plot for another terrorist attack in the US. To determine the source of the plot and to stop it, the CIA uses Adam Chapel to follow a trail of money which presumably would lead to the terrorists. Teaming with Chapel is British agent Sarah Churchill. They must race with time to prevent another disaster of at least equal proportion to 9/11.A forensic accountant! Good G-d what will they think of next? Riech, a former banker, has written several previous novels concerning international high finance. All of them are considerably more successful thrillers than this one. There are many moments in this very long book that it reads about as exciting as an accountant's spreadsheet. The plot is highly predictable and the characters are, like this book, quite forgettable.

Hunter's review!
One day Mr. and Mrs. Hogget where happily sitting in their chairs and heard a terrible sguealing. So they said I think that is a pig. How could it be a pig? Mrs. Hogget replied this is sheep country. I'm going to go deliver your pies. When he got to the fair it was really a pig. He guessed on the pig's weight 33 pounds and a guarter pound. A day later he figured that he won the pig. His name was Babe. Fly the female dog taught him with the puppies. The puppies left soon. The puppies left to explore Boston. Babe met a sheep named Maaa. One day she was released back to the flock. Babe went to meet the flock. When he got there, there were rustlers. He politely asked the sheep to scramble! The rustlers ran away! Mrs. Hogget is not going to butcher Babe. The trials are coming up soon. I recommend this book to all readers, because it's suspenseful.

Read the first in the series--skip this one
I'm not moved often to write reviews pro or con but this book was so terrible I had to act. I gave it one star because the writing is literate.I will only say that I have read all the other books in this series except the one immediately before this one. I missed it and was excited to see a new one! Alas, moving to the U.S. seems to have completely changed her personality. She has become tedious, whiny, and tentative. The plot of this novel is uninvolving and very slow to get started. The other characters, except Aunt Norie, are pedestrian.If you want exciting books about Japan, read the Isaac Adamson series with Billy Chaka or, for a slower pace and intriguing characters, the early Banana Yoshimoto. Check out Haruki Murakami. There's good stuff out there. This isn't it.Lose Hugh and send Rei back to Tokyo. Let's have some fun.

*Highwayman* rules!
I am in elementary school, and constantly surrounded by popular rap music and the like. Thanks to my wonderful teacher, I was able to hear *The Highwayman*. I was totally transported. It is a phenomenal song. I love the music, I love Loreena's voice, I love Alfred's words. I have found my singer! *The Highwayman* is a really sad yet dramatic song, filled with the almost magical tragedy of the poem. I love it! Anyone who appreciates something different from the music on today's hit list should buy this CD, 'cause it's not only *The Highwayman* that shines, all the other songs are amazing too. They're all possessed of this mystical quality. It's great epic music!

funny toy
I got this for my 8yrs old son for 2002 x-mas. It is truly simple. Yoda repeats the same phrases over and over again in Yoda dialect by squeezing his left hand. No lights and sirens, no movement. People ask it yes/no answer and they get one of the phrase. The phrases are said in a predicatable cycle. My two younger girls ages 4yrs and 5yrs get a kick out of it too. I even caught my younger brother who is 13yrs asking it questions. Examples of questions that the kids asked that made them fall on the ground laughing:Kids:"Are you fat?" Yoda:"Yes I sense this is" kids: Hahaha haKids:"Are you Yoda? Yoda:"No..." kids: hahahahaKids: "Do you smell?" Yoda:"Yes, I sense this is"Kids:Are you old? "The force is strong" or something like thatKids: Will I be a Jedi?Kids: Will I be a Pokemon trainer?Kids:Will I be as strong in Jedi force as Annikin?You get the picture....My kids dragged it around a few places so far and no problems with durability so far.

Everything you need from a Tool album!
It's been five long years since Tool's released anything. However, Lateralus is more than worth the wait. Lateralus is the quintessential tool album. Maynard James Keenan, the most versatile vocalist in music, has outdone himself on this album. That is not to say, however, that anything else has been sacraficed. This album is the ominous, free-floating magic that you've come to expect from Tool, spiked with the vision that only a five year hiatus can provide. That said, Lateralus also has the most amazing art (cover, sleeve, etc.) that I've ever seen. It is a true pleasure to behold. In fact, even if you don't like Tool, buy this and throw the CD out. Keep the cover.In short, Lateralus is the most amazing CD I own. Buy it, buy it, buy it! Shut up and buy it! Send more money! Shut up and buy it!

GREAT VALUE
I had an arthretic dog that was having a hard time bending down to eat. I saw it on sale for $12.99 and thought we'd give it a try. WOW! It made a huge difference. He has now passed on, but our new lab loves it too. It adjusts as she grows. No more dishes sliding around the floor. No more water splashing onto the wood floors. It is clean and easy to maintain. Also works great for travelling. I can bungee tie it to the car and it doesn't flip or slide while we drive. YEA!!!

The unit leaks from the top and bottom
I recently bought this unit to replace a trusty Cuisinart food processor that I used and loved for 30 years. Sadly, I discarded the old unit (the Lexan bowl had cracked) before fully testing the new unit. The first item I prepared was a small brioche dough. The unit leaked badly under the blade, and that part of the bowl was extremely difficult to clean. The next item I tried to prepare was a cold soup. I filled it to just under the marked fill line and water gushed out of the top when the liquid started to spin. I have just spoken with Cuisinart customer service. Both of these problems are normal with the unit. The maximum liquid that one can process is two cups! My small brioche dough was also too large. and it is normal for some dough to leak out under the blade. Needless to say, my old Cuisinart processor did not have either of these problems. This unit is fine for grating or slicing vegetables, or cheese, but not much else. Such a disappointment!

Mini Track Ball Wore Out
I just bought my 2nd one of these in the last 3 1/2 years. The X-axis rubber roller wore out, but the keyboard has always worked fine. The mini trackball needs constant cleaning due to lint/etc. buildup in the base, and occasionally had to 'tweezer' the rollers to pull off hairs. Just had to turn CCW the outer ring, pull out ball, and finger clean the base. Was somewhat of an inconveneince about 2x's/wk, but the advantages of L. thumb buttons/R. trackball made me sold on the concept. I'm also used to the key layout as compared to my laptop keyboard, since I have my laptop on a cart next to my recliner and put this keyboard on my lap while using. I use 8-10 hrs/day often (various forums/shopping/email/stc.) and am on the laptop every day. Got used to the layout & trackball...worth the $50 every 3-4 yrs.Gave it 4 stars because of the regular mini trackball cleaning reqd

LOVED IT!!!
I really loved this movie!! The first time I watched it, I was with some friends, and they were all like, "Seriously, a movie made in Canada, you're not really gonna make us watch this, right?" And, "Is this another of your weird Stargate type things?" Well they watched, and while I laughed harder, they did enjoy themselves.On a not so side note--Kate and David Hewlett acting together--awesome!!! The really had me believing they were brother and sister. ;D Paul McGillion and the rest of the cast were great, too! Of course the reall star is Mars--great work buddy, can't wait to see you in other stuff!!Added note on David Hewlett's acting--this guy can do anything! If you haven't seen him in Stargate, go, watch...why are you still reading this!! Go run and watch!! :D Esp. the (currently) most recent episode of SGA "The Shrine".

Stops broadcasting several times a day
Received from Amazon on 2/19/11 and installed same day. No problems. Worked great. Connected 5 computers, TiVo, Samsung HDTV, and Panasonic BluRay all in less than an hour. Fast, strong signal throughout house, on both floors. Then after about 6 hours is just stopped broadcasting. LAN still worked, but wireless just stopped on all 4 computers connected by wireless. Cycled power and all of them came back. Then after 6 or 7 hours, just stopped again. Got on D-LINK support, and was told to reposition away from other electronics. Did that. Moved router and modem to another room. Worked great for about 6 hours then just stopped broadcasting, again. After perusing D-LINK forums, it's seems this is a common problem for which there is no fix. Forum members hoping for firmware update. I'm going to do a firmware upgrade. If that doesn't work I'm sending it back.

3 Cheers for Sweet Revenge!!
This album is one of the greatest albums of all time. Every fan of punk,rock,goth,and metal should own this album!My Chemical Romance Combines old-school punk melodies/riffs with metal, while still keeping the pyres of goth alive. Every song on this album is different in its own unique way, which keeps the listner intently waiting for what the next track my bring.THEY ARE NOT EMO. ALL YOU EMO KIDS OUT THERE GIVE THESE GUYS A BAD NAME! Just because they have a couple sad songs such as the first track [helena] does not make them emo. nor does the ammount of makeup thy wear! They're main influences consist of the MISFITS, MORRISEY, and IRON MAIDEN. I repeat they are not emo. The chemistry of this bad is amazing. The 2 guitar players, [frank lero, ray toro] come from totally different musical backgrounds, which come together beautifully, to make MCR's FAST, AGRESSIVE, beatiful punk/melodic sound. I give this album a 5 out of 5 stars.

An extraordinary book
As a Citadel grad..and someone who is familiar with this type of lifestyle portrayed in the book...I must say he has done a great job in recreating how life is a The Citadel. The Citadel is a unique bastion of education. We have our critics...but we are great because of the hardships and trials we face as cadets. Like Thucydides said: "Superiority Lies With He, Who Is Reared In The Severest Of Schools" That one quote explains The Citadel in such great detail. This book is a must read. You can not put it down. I picked it up and read it to the end in one day. This is by far one of the greatest books I have ever read...next to "The Lords of Discipline". Please check this book out. If you are a Citadel grad...you will be greatly intrigued. I give it 5 stars.

Overpriced 2 gallon humidifier
Unit was received February 7, 20071. For the size of the unit I had hoped the tank would last for several nights. A full tank in the same 10 x 12 room does not last 8 hours.2. When looking at the photo of the unit the rounded white handle topping the blue water tank is what you must attempt to set the tank on while filling. Very annoying and unstable. You MUST hold the tank steady while filling.3. The opening lid opposite the handle must be tightened VERY tight or it will leak. This takes quite a bit of hand strength. The knurls on the side of the lid are not sufficient to tighten the lid. You must put your fingers in the provided holes.4. Either the display is incorrect/broken or the unit cannot create 55% humidity in a 10 ft x 12 foot room. The highest humidity the display read was 22%.5. This is NOT a 4 gallon tank. The maxiumum this tank holds is two gallons.I am disappointed. This is an over-priced 2 gallon humidifier.

Time to modify the formula
I've read all of the books in the Stephanie Plum series. I love Ms. Evanovich's humorous style of writing, but am beginning to tire of the Steffy Plum formula. It's been repackaged and retold eleven times now. Nothing new, nothing different in this book. Where I once "felt" for Stephanie, as she tried to choose between Ranger and Morelli, I now find her slutty and manipulative. I now feel pity for handsome babe-magnet Morelli and that's wrong. It's time for him to have a new long-term girlfriend for a while. Readers would enjoy seeing how Stephanie would react to that. Ranger seems to regard Steffy as an amusement; let him stay that way. Keep all of the nutty folks in though. They're what keep me reading. Standouts inlcude Lula, Grandma Mazur, Bella and Steph's mom. No one can match Ms. Evanovich's humor!

Rather shameless piece of nonsense
I am a conservative and enjoy reading many conservative writers. However, I have never enjoyed the writings of such people like Hannity or Limbaugh. The reason is, they are not really conservatives. They want fame and influence. They want to put ideas in the heads of people that quite often don't have any there to begin with. They package it in the form of patriotism, but in reality, it is just egomaniacal. They are Joe McCarthy and Charles Coughlin. GOP Shills and Commerical Opportunists. They do not make well thought out observations. They attempt to smear and spit venom. They simplify ideas so as to gear their message towards the uninformed. As a result, they become the prophets for the ignorant masses. I wonder if any of these so-called "conservatives" have really spent time reading the works of historical conservative figures. My kids gave me this book because they thought I would like it. Instead, I felt like I was reading a comic book.

Don't waste your money!
I have the 110 volt plug in Bullet, the rechargeable bullet, and a Bella 110 volt plug in Blender. We use our blender(s) nearly every day. Without a question, the Bella outperforms the Bullets many times over. The rechargeable bullet is frankly "WORTHLESS"! To many downs to even worth mentioning. Just a plain waste of money. The 110volt Bullet is barely useful. The RPM's on the motor are to low and it takes for ever to mix a blended drink with ice cubes. The top of the motor and switches gum up very easily with just a little leakage from the mixer, and there is no easy way to clean or lubricate them. The Bella makes short work of ice cubes with a very high rpm motor/blade combo. The funny thing is that if you watch the sale ads, the Bella Frequently sells at major stores for aroung $24 to $30. Hope this was helpful.

sounds of the 90's without the melodies
i've got the first several pearl jam album releases through 'no code'. this band was just getting worse with every album. eventually, i caught on and stopped wasting my $. i read all the great reviews of this album and thought the first single was alright. who the @$#%@ are these dumb reviewers? are they getting paybacks? is this politics or music? live 105.3 barely played any of this album - and i should have taken a clue from that. they still know how to play, but need some new energy and ideas to make cohesive, appealing songs. also, maybe they need to be poor again to lift their spirits - obviously being filthy rich isn't helping! only put 1 song on my mp3 players...= 1 star.

Painful!
I was elated when I stumbled across this book. As a huge Shane Macgowan and The Pogues fan I could not wait to hear the insight and drunken ramblings that awaited. What a disaster of a book! The question and answer format is painful as his wife (or 1st year Enlish lit. groupie) delivers tone setting (I guess) descriptives of the scene by annoyingly ending each sentence in an adjective. Totally pompous writing. Besides the style, there is not much meat here either. The Pogues and Shane's fall out with the Pogues is virtually glossed over. Besides some the ear biting incident at the Pistols show and some often heard before recounting of life as a drunken teenage punk there is not much more. If any of you have seen the BBC documentary on Shane entitled "The Great Hunger" this book adds nothing more. Although nothing could lessen my sense of awe with Shane's songwriting, the book (like "The Great Hunger") only reinforces the pathetic nature of Shane's life outside of music.

Chinese made junk
I liked the design and simplicity. I liked that it had a decent rating and was reasonably priced. I just need something to boil water. Simple right? Well this thing would not stop boiling. Would not turn off, ever. I sent it back for a replacement. So I got a replacement from Amazon. Can't complain about the service. The second version of the pot would not boil. The little lever that turns the thing on would not stay on. Kept turning off before the water could heat. Amazon said they would replace or refund, but I called the manufacturer to see what they had to say. They were pleasant and the young lady at the other end said that they would send me a replacement, one made in a different factory (they could tell by the serial number). They said the Amazon used products made in a particular factory in China where there were problems. I don't know where the third machine came from but it is working as it should. For how long, I don't know. Maybe the third time is a charm.

It feels good to finally have a new arcade version of DDR.
Supernova is a pretty decent machine. The seems right(with all the licensing they do to make these games, you'd have to expect atleast this much). I've been playing DDR since 2004 and think It's the best foot rhythm game todate. In the grove is ok and pump it up....i just hate the 5-panel and menu intergration. A lot of people think In the Grove is a better game just because the steps for the songs are hard, which doesnt make the game itself good. There isn't any orignality with the songs or steps. Every song is just some generic techno. At the highest diffuclty all the songs play the same, no matter how the song sounds. I do like sound quality of the system though. its among the best. The pad is nicely made as well. to put it simply, DDR just provides a funner experience. when i play in the grove all i think is why am I doing these steps and when will the song be over.

WOW!
This book is so enlightening! I heard Ron on a radio interview and all I kept thinking was that I want to hear more, so I bought the book. WOW! The information in this book is something the insurance companies would want to be illegal. Probably why this book doesn't get much publicity. It is incredible. It saved me over 14,000 dollars. I know how to deal with the collision repair shops, the tow truck drivers and the insurance companies. I never knew how much I was being conned. THIS IS A MUST OWN MANUAL! Everyone owns a car, everyone gets in an accident. But no one knows what to do when it happens. They only think they do, until they read this book. I bet you think you should call the insurance company. This book tells you why thats exactly what you don't do. BUY TWO OF THESE BOOKS! Give one to your teenager.

The real M*A*S*H fans are just getting started
I have been watching M*A*S*H since the beginning of time. The first 3 seasons were definitely some of the best. With season 4 I feel the show was getting ready to hit it's real stride. For one thing, you can't compare the first 3 season to the last 7 because the first 3 seasons were more on the wacky side like the movie. The next seven just went on to define and explore the characters more. It also let us know that war had all kinds of people in it. The change of characters allowed for a change of format. If all stayed the same there would have been no way that it would have lasted 10 years. The changes allowed for fresh and more realistic story lines. All it did was give the writers an opportunity to do what the show was meant to do, and that was to show what war was like and to have a lot of fun doing it. It stayed very funny throughout but then invented the first true dramedy. Can't wait to see the next DVD.

Find another one!!!
I recently bought this travel bag by Wacom. I though to myself, I mean if Wacom makes it well it perfect for my new tablet. Not so!!! As the other review has said here its really really a tight fit. Seems smaller. Don't know about you but what were they thinking when they made it soo tight. Also as one of the other reviewers mentioned "I hope the zippper doesn't break." Well it did with me when i tried to squeeze my Brand New tablet in there. I'm just glad Wacom does a good job on tablets but they need to stay out of the Travel Bag business. Trust me find another bag for it. Google it or something. This bag is too pricey for the quality. I really wanted it to be a great product, but alas you can't have everything.

Equivalent to Edda in quality...absolutely fascinating!
Very fun to read! I liked this book a lot. The Tale of Matsura is an ancient Japanese literature, written by an anonymous intellect of that time. This tale per se is such an amusing story, but in many other ways (what ways? Read and find them out yourself. I leave the fun part for you!), this literature will invite you to a voyage in medieval Japan. Lammres constructs this book with two parts. Read the second part, the main body of the tale, first if you are not familiar with the tale. Lammer's translation of the tale is one of the best jobs done on Japanese literatures. Then, move onto the first part, Lammer's analysis. His analysis is very insightful and thorough. Therefore, it might appear to be daunting, but don't be afraid. It won't bite you. In the end, you would realize it has been worth reading. Have fun turning pages!

If you're going to order this book, you better order a magnifying glass also. The text is about half the size of the 8 pt. type I can print out of my computer. 4 pt.? Maybe 6 pt.? Anyway, it's really, really small.Another flaw, which is aggravated by the small print, is the quality of the printing. Sometimes the text is so light you can barely make it out and sometimes it's so heavy that the "a"s and "e"s turn into indistinguishable blobs. All on the same page!Finally, you know how dictionaries have the first and last words found on the page, at the top of the page? This is a great aid when you're trying to find a word among a bunch of little tiny words that all start with the same first few letters. This author/publisher didn't think they were important. They're just not there. Bummer.All in all, the German Military Dictionary by the US War Dept. and published by Lancer Militaria is a better buy. It's much easier to use.

Fast and furious
When you hit the power button this thing will dig in and eat up some beard like nothing I've ever seen before...it ate up some skin too. As a dry shaver it was a little too rough on my face. I gave my skin two weeks and then I just couldn't take it anymore. It cuts close, maybe too close. Although as a wet shaver used with shaving cream it was fine but I've decided wet shaving is not for me.This is a very well made shaver. It feels like a high quality precision instrument. The pop up trimmer is the best I've ever seen. It made the Brauns seem toy like by comparison. And it runs flat out wide open until the batteries are about 5 seconds away from empty...remarkable. The shaver is also very quiet and vibration free. I admire it so much that I want to keep it even though I don't like what it does to my face.So the bottom line is that if it's a dry shaver you want then I'd look elsewhere but if it's a wet shaver you want then it's worth a try.

Outstanding!!!
I came across these at an Apple Store. I have the Bang and Olufsen headset which goes for $99, $100 at Bang & Olufsen. It sounds exactly like these ear phones though. It puts out a much cleaner signal than the $150 Sony Headset and the $350 Bose headsets.I'm assuming that the design is biased towards detail and voice, rather than power. As a result all my songs sound different. Vocals sound more realistic. Instruments also sound like instruments. It sounds like when I'm demoing $1000 speakers at a home theater/audio store. It makes your music sound so much better. The most surprising thing is how much stuff I couldn't hear on my previous headset. I highly recommend.

Forgive
This book seems to be filled with hatred and vengefulness against the Author's inlaws . While the author talks about finding God, It is my belief that she has not learned the art of forgiveness. She seems to be caught in a Soul Tie and and Stronghold with her husband. She seems to want to control him. I wonder what really drove them to such tragic unfortunate consequences. Are they both missing the message here? What drove her husband to become an adulterer, and what caused him to commit those crimes. I suspect that they were one of those couples that forgot that God was their Source and took matters into their own hands. I encourage everyone to pray for the author to learn the art of forgiveness and to purchase two books by Linda Savage on breaking down strong Holds from Amazon.com. Bothe she and her husband should study this book together (yes from Prison0 and learn how to understnad the true meaning of Breaking soul Ties. This book offers nothing to persons in similiar positions.

WHO's the CRETIN who made the documentary on this DVD ?
Nothing to say about The Lynch film itself or the transfer, They're perfect. But man DO NOT BUY THIS DVD. They were supposed to release it with over an hour of deleted scenes especially selected by Lynch himself and instead they put on a "documentary" made by WHO ? The boss of New Line's nephew ???I mean this thing is the stupidest attempt at a documentary I have ever seen in my life. (No wonder the director's name is omited). Instead of the deleted scenes they put the worstly edited interviews I have ever seen, and guess what the all actors are saying : Gee ! I was in a super nice scene that was cut from the final edit! ARRRRGH ! New Line get a grip and Issue a new version NOW !And to the Anonymous director of this farce. Cut the stupid fast forward on the interviews and GO BACK WORKING AT THE TACO BELL !

What a mistake!!
I have the exact same problems that everyone else seems to have. The power switch went bad right away as did the belt. I've replaced the belt three times in a year and a half and this is no easy task with this machine. This Hoover is the worst machine I've ever had. I bought it in a panic on Christmas eve when my last hoover (10 years old) fell apart and sucked itself up. (really!) It cost me over $250 and was one of the only vacuums that Sears had in stock that I could take home immediately. After a year and a half of problems it's now making a strange noise, when I can get the switch to work, and I know it's about to go for good. I have now sworn that my relationship with Hoover is completely over. Eureka, here I come! (and at HALF the price!)

It worked for us!
We used this book to find a dog-friendly place on the beach for our honeymoon. We were very pleased with the accomodations we found. The only reason we did not get into every hotel we called was due to no vacancy. Otherwise, we enjoyed where we ended up and were grateful for the book. This book is a great resource guide but you will have to do your homework. And as a consumer, you have to be responsible for yourself. The book does not give details on the hotels it lists so take it upon yourself to call and inquire. With so many listings it would be hard to also stock it with pictures and details. Even if the book listed details you would need to followup on your own. It is hard to be 100% accurate in a fast paced changing world. I found this book useful and would reccomend it to all my dog owner friends.

ENTERTAINMENT - ENTERTAINMENT - WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT
I don't understand some of the comments. A movie is just for entertainment and not the end of the universe if you don't like it.Tolerable! Great! Comical! Entertaining! and all of the above.If you don't like it blame the writers.Charming, funny - yes - better than the original - maybe not.But definitely entertaining! Better than most movies out there!Special Agent Gracie Hart swung into action, again. And solved the problem in her own inimitable way.Her new partner and guard has anger-management issues and definitely a low opinion of Gracie.Even with her cover blown she still gets the job done. With a few mishaps.Definitely a lot of fun and oh, so wet. The kidnapping was a bit confusing but finally straightened out. Gracie and her make-up artist and guard prove to be smarter than the average "bear".DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED -- Try it you may like it!

Not enough time given to ensure proper lunge form
My main issue with this DVD is the speed at which it moves. I actually liked that aspect a lot, until I got to the lunges. Michaels moves through the workout so quickly (which otherwise is a good thing) that it is very, very hard to ensure you're in proper lunge form the entire time, for every lunge. Even when doing these lunges in front of a mirror, which is what I used to keep myself from overextending, it's quite hard to do them perfectly when you're absolutely flying through the workout. I blew out my knee. It hurts. @*&%. I REALLY wish Gillian would slow the lunges part of the workout down just a little. I'm sure plenty of gym rats (just kidding ;) will criticize me for not having my lunge form down perfectly, but like I said - it's REALLY freakin' difficult to do when you're moving at this speed. Now I can't practice lunges at all, because my knee is all @$#%ed up. Yay.

NO GO
First let me start by saying that I read another book by this author, Letting Go, which I thought was a very nice read. That is what prompted me to pick Suburban Renewal up. I read about 100 pgs and I just cannot bore myself any further. I don't know, maybe I wasn't in the mood to read this type novel, but I found it truly boring. I didn't care about these people's lives and talk about slow moving. I did not enjoy and did not care to finish. Also, there seems to be a religious angle in both this book and Letting Go. I am not into that religious mumbo jumbo. I guess this was it for me and this author, although, I see so many good reviews. Hey, we can't all like the same things. This is just one negative opinion.

Excellent CD
This CD is AWESOME. I originally found out about Over it from a Rufio show. I was bored one night and had a friend come with me to see Rufio. I researched a little on Over It and thought they were pretty good. When they hit the stage I was suprised. They were on tee on all songs. All the sounds were catchy but not crappy Good Charlotte pop punk. The songs have substance. I grabbed the CD and keep listening to it. "Shine", "Siren on the 101", and "Waiting" are the best on the CD.I highly suggest Over It's "Silverstrand". Pick it up now before they get big. I can see them blowing up soon.

It's fine when it works...
...and that's precisely the problem: it doesn't work very well. From reading other reviews, I see I'm not alone. When it does work, the picture and sound are great. It worked fine for about 2 or 3 years after I bought it, then it started freezing up every so often. It got more and more frequent and is now bad enough that watching a DVD from start to finish is practically impossible. Sometimes it freezes completely so that it won't respond to the remote or buttons on the front panel. It's been like this for quite a while. It has trouble reading some discs that work fine in other players. I recently cleaned the lens very carefully, but it made no difference. I expected more than 2 or 3 years worth of trouble-free use, and I really didn't use it often. I highly doubt that this unit is in production anymore, but if you come across one, whether it be new in the box or used, don't pay too much for it.

Beautifully human
This book is rich with geographical details of Wyoming and history of the Shoshone and Arapahoe people. O'Gara skillfully and lovingly describes the Wind River Valley like a sculptor shapes his beloved work. He is an excellent storyteller. What I loved most was O'Gara's deep attention to human relations, personal histories, and character. He always tells the tale with the human in the center. He never proselytizes or places blame. He doesn't demonize or romanticize. Also, the Native Americans are depicted as people, not political images or symbols. It's easy and fun to read, yet never strays from reality. I loved reading it. I wish more stories about Native Americans were told so warmly and truthfully.

This album is untouchable
This is one of the best Bay Area rap albums ever. Mac Mall is an extremly gifted rapper. He is one of those artists whojust tells what he sees, feels and thinks. Some of the best producers worked on that album - Mike Mosley, Ric Roc, Khayree, Ant Banks, Cold 187um and others. Mac Mall raps about mainly about life on the streets and his own way to success. Just one track features other rappers. It's one of the albums best tracks - "Pimp or Die" and there Ray Luv and Young Lay just tear it up. This is a very good album, it has perfect music to it and Mac Mall (a.k.a. Baby Capone) proves that he is one of the most talented young rappers out there in the industry. He is real, and he ain't no wanna-be hustler. He just tells it how it is. If you love West Coast rap, especially the Bay Area it's a must-have for you.

The pump is GREAT, the Little Giant discharge kit isn't
Hi, I am almost always very pleased with Amazon. This time, I was far more than pleased. I ordered this with Free Shipping and I had it in 3 days. The Wayne Water Systems VIP50 1/2 HP 2,500 GPH Submersible Utility Water Pump is perfect for what I needed. I have an in ground swimming pool and I wanted to drain it. It's about 22 thousand gallons. It is whisper quiet and pumps up 10 feet and out 100 with a great flow rate. The Little Giant hose kit (separate) is pretty cheap plastic that is hard to keep unrolled, but it did serve it's purpose. I actually hooked that together with my pool vacuum hose to get plenty of length and the pump had no problems. The pump is a Great item at a great price. Don't expect much from the hose, but it does pass a lot more water than a garden hose would. I was surprised at how small the pump is, looks bigger in the pictures, but it puts out like it is huge!

Montana Sky
I've been a Nora Roberts book fan for some time now. I have several of her movies, but just recently purchased Montana Sky. I had not read the book and I purchased the movie because of the great reviews and the pleasure of my other movies I've collected. I love the west. We've been going out to Montana and Wyoming for summer vacations every year for the past 11 years. I knew that this movie would attract my attention, but had no idea that my husband and two sons would actually like it. This is a great movie, all the qualities of Nora Roberts love stories combined with beautiful scenery. Again this movie is like my others where it does not lag or stall out in the middle. It has action, drama, mystery and best of all the love story or stories between family and the men and women of the story. This is a great movie that I'm glad I've added to my collections. Keep making more movies, Ms. Roberts!

DECEIVED
I was deceived into buying something that I did not want at an outrageous price. I thought that I was ordering as the advertisement says--Original Benny Goodman Trio and quartet Sessions-Vol 1-3. What I received was a single USED CD for $29.00. There is 1 trio piece and 1 quartet piece. Everything else is for big band with singers. That is not what I was ordering and that was not advertised in the listing. Vol.1-3 led me to think that I was getting 2 CD's for $29.00. I received 1 CD and it is used. As stated I WAS DECEIVED AND PAID A RIDICULOUS PRICE FOR 1 CD. I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY. AMAZON, WATCH WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH AS A SELLER.Tom Greene

What!
I ended up just skimming the rest of the book after getting half way through. I read Evanovich way back before Stephanie and have owned all of her books written solely by her. I suppose this book could be savored IF you are a NASCAR fan, which I am not. Most of the attention and detail went into that. I didn't laugh until after page 200 and I think it was a laugh of desperation. Much of the gags fell flat for me, they seemed too cartoonish. I like silly but too much was just dumb. Dog poop plays a major part in one. The violence in it bothered me too and it doesn't that much in the Plum books. I'm not sure why here, maybe because there's a reason in the Plum books - she's a bounty hunter. It just seemed to contain just a lot of surface writing with the two main charaters, and only got interesting when the minor characters showed up - the non grieving widow and the two friends from Florida. Finally some non-NASCAR color.

Great electric albums - Error in Track Listing
This is a great coupling of two fairly similar albums. The track listing on the CD (and as shown on Amazon) is wrong. For some reason the 1976 Hoppkorv tracks are the first ones on the CD followed by the 1975 Yellow Fever tracks. It all here, so if you think someting is missing or you got the wrong CD, its just the sequencing does not match what is listed on the CD. The correct track listing is:1. Santa Claus Retreat2. Watch the North Wind Rise3. It's So Easy4. Bowlegged Woman, Knock Kneed Man5. Drivin' Around6. I Wish You Would7. I Can't Be Satisfied8. Talking 'Bout You9. Extrication Love Song10. Songs from the Stainless Cymbal11. Baby What You Want Me to Do12. Hot Jelly Roll Blues13. Free Rein14. Sunrise Dance with the Devil15. Song for the Fire Maiden16. Bar Room Crystal Ball17.

A Captivating Story!
After finishing Miss Claire's Never Buried, I was looking forward to reading the next book in her series. Usually, the second in a series is not quite a good as the first. Boy, was my assumption wrong! Never Sorry was a wonderful read. Leigh Koslow is back with her best friends in a mystery that will keep you reading until late into the evening. While working part-time at the local zoo, Leigh stumbles across a gruesome "surprise" in the tiger cage. Miss Claire is not graphic in her descriptions (thankfully!) of the crime scene, but your imagination will run away as you read the story. Leigh has another crime on her hands that she must solve for her own good. Add romance, wild animals, great friends, and a few psyco's from her past and you have the beginnings of a fabulous mystery! This book deserves six stars!

Just adding another positive review ~
Works great. I've never had any issues. Just make sure to empty any unpopped kernels afterwards. I wish there was an on off switch, but I think you are supposed to turn over and shake out any kernels after each popping, so you really need to unplug it anyway. If you could just leave it in one spot plugged in, then maybe some people wouldn't turn it over to empty them then burn the next batch.Just wait until the unit is warmed up (2-3 minutes) then put in kernels and unplug once there is about 3 seconds since the last pop. Usually 3-6 kernels will be left. Oh, and beware. One scoop of kernels makes a LOT of popcorn. Make sure you have a back up bowl ready just in case! (First time I popped, the bowl filled and then popped kernels started going everywhere! My Corgi benefited from it though! And he likes the popcorn apparently).Great way for a vegan to enjoy popcorn without using oil! Oh, and Earth Balance melts just as well as butter in the little plastic tray.

Very good elevating leg rest!
I just got this today and I have already used it. I'm a relatively tall man with about a 31 inch inseam. All I can say is that this leg rest does exactly what I want it to do--it really takes the pressure off my back when I lay down. I love the extra width. It's a perfect size. It's nice and firm also which is good. I recommend this. No complaints. I have a twin bed, and this covers the width of the bed without going over the edges at all. There's maybe an inch or two to spare on each side. Definitely get this one for the extra width. Any less width and my legs would fall over the sides, but this is perfect.

Strange, Addictive, Exciting
That is how i would describe this cd. I don't know a lot about music, i know what i like. I bought this just to see what the fuss was about. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it. I thought i would listen to it once and then put it away. I have had it for 5 days now and i play the whole cd atleast twice a day. I can't get these great songs, with great lyrics out of my head. The lyrics go through my head all day long, it's disturbing. And i also sing the songs to myself while i'm walking down the street when knowone is around. I even try to sing some of nico's songs. When i'm away from the house i can't wait to get home and play my favorite songs. Great, great.

As marian sang her heart filled with tragedy and sometimes her songs.Marian was a full grown adult and Marians parents past away She was sad but still sang.She went to a music school and she patiently in line for an application. The girl behind the counter helped everyone else but Marian. The lady didn't let her have an application because she was colored. She grew older and married a fine man who respected her singing.
