Poor, poor, poor!
|
It is not Grisham I admired and enjoyed to read in his first three novels. It is someone else, but who? Yes, who is the writer, what's his real name? Maybe it's an advetising agent from Bologna, Italy, posing as John Grisham, an impersonator? A fat Italian chef-turned novelist?? A tourist guide-turned novelist??? Or maybe it's that girl who likes to borrow sentences from other authors' books... Nooo. Ha, I've got it! It's that greedy, sneaky Mr. Publisher capitalising on a good author's name again. It's that smell of green that buys appearances--yachts, palaces--I don't want to say what else... But, whatever, this one is a waste of words, and paper, and green...

Tractor not worth the money
|
We got this tractor for our 3 year old son. He loves it! Rides it every day! But it is not well made. We have had it for 3 weeks. The trailer cracked when we put things in it. When our son backs up, the tractor runs the trailer over. The tailgate won't stay shut. The main front cover has already broken and will no longer stay on. Instructions said you could put a 12 volt battery in it (instead of the 8 volt that comes with it)but when we do this the front covers won't shut tight. We have bought power wheel products in the past. Our 2 children have used them for 3 summers with absolutely no problems. I will not buy any more products from the company that made this tractor. We are getting ready to purchase a kids ATV and we will definitely buy a power wheels because they are made to last. This tractor will not last! Even though my son loves it - it is made poorly! Don't waste your money!

I'm Sunk Too
|
We too purchased the laser level with good results. After storing it for a few months as recommended in the manual, we tried to use it. The lasers were so far out of wack that you could see the dot where the laser went through the glass, which was probably less than 1 inch away from the laser itself, was about 1/4 inch off. Meaning that by the time the beam was 50 feet away, that 1/4 inch would turn into . . . Let's see 50 feet times 12 inches, = 600 inches times 1/4 inch = 150 inches = 12.5 feet off. Hmmmmm, what to do. . . Calibrate it! We couldn't get the darn thing to stay in calibration mode. It was on a surface that we checked and rechecked for level and it was dead on. We give up, taking it back to Home Depot. Thank goodness they have a liberal return policy.

MY FAVORITE KATHY SMITH OLDIE!!!
|
YES, THIS VIDEO IS AN OLDIE ALRIGHT.it was done in the early 90's so you can surely expect "cheesiness" in terms of hairstyles, clothing, and even the sets. This was made over a decade ago. Take out a photo album of your own and you'd be embarrassed at your own cheesy hair style and clothes 10 years ago! Now on to the important part -- do you get a good work out from this tape -- YES. The upper body workout is around 10 minutes. Next, you get five aerobic segments that last around 35 mins. My faves were the Latin and 50's dance segments. Finally, you do around 15 mins of lower body toning. The weight segments are only easy if you're using too light of weights. I've used 3 and then 5 pound weights and what a difference that makes.The entire workout is around an hour! This is definitely for intermediate level. I had great fun doing the workouts but what matters most was that I lost 25 lbs in 2 months doing this video every single day. THIS WORKS!

Excellent Adaptation
|
Mr King and Mr. Darabont must read each other's minds. or they must be great friends, or both. The adaptation was wonderful.I admit to not being a serial reader. I read the book in it's entirety, without having to anticipate the next chapter. I could not put the book down. As I watched the movie, and knowing I would be so empathetic to Paul and John, I was still compelled to visualize what my mind had already created.Not unlike "Shawshank", Mr Darabont has lovingly taken a Stephen King story and put it to cinema. The characters were true to form; Michael Clarke Duncan jumped right out of the book. There could be no other John Coffey.If you've read the book, see the movie. There are some nice positive changes....like Mr. Jingles. If you haven't read the book, see the movie. You will be in for an emotional ride.

Very Disappointing
|
With the first four battery charge (Duracell Alkaline), the fan ran great. I think I got more than the 21 Hrs advertised.However, about three hrs into the second battery charge (other half of same Duracell 8 pack) . . . the fan began to makestrange noises . . . as if something was hindering the electric motor revolutions. It quit . . . irrepairably. Perhaps it wasjust a lemon but I thought it was a Coleman . . . As the price was good . . . sending it back and forth is hardly a viableoption.

WOW!
|
Here's the plot of the film: "It's about a suit that fights." WOW! AMAZING! Mindboggling!! Seriously! Jackie Chan has fallen off notches from his usual acting course, since he's now acting in Hollywood. In fact, as of to date, Jackie Chan is perhaps the worst martial arts actor out now! Even worse than Steven Seagal! The plots to his most recent films don't even make much sense at all! (The Medallion, Shanghai Noon/Knights) Please! If you're looking for a decent action packed Jackie Chan film, get "Drunken Master" (skip the sequel) or any of his movies before "Rush Hour." It's just a sorry sight to see such a great actor fall off this horribly!!

Johnny Sings Like No One Else
|
Here is another wonderful album by the greatest singer since Nat King Cole. Legrand, the Bergmans, and Mathis have collaborated on an album of beautiful songs--half of which I had never heard before. I was pleasantly surprised. The songs are dreamy, mellow, sung in Johnny's incomparable style. Of course, he is the master balladeer, whose enunciation and phrasing are always perfect. Even if someone else has recorded a song, Johnny always sings it his way. The orchestration and arrangements of each song are perfect and unique. Johnny creates a mood of intimacy and sensuality as if he is just singing to you alone. I have always heard the song, How Do You Keep The Music Playing, with an orchestra accompaniment. It was uniquely different and beautiful to hear it with just piano accompaniment. This album should be in the collection of anyone who is a Mathis fan.

Great Rope Bag
|
Went to several places who did not have this item in stock. Amazon did. Fast shipping all the way to Hawaii and no charge for the shipping. Rope bag was very well made. All the Blackhawk items I have are top quality. Heavy duty, military grade velcro, held all my accessories in the bag with room to spare. Accommodated my 120 foot greenline, harness, all my carabiners, gloves and figure 8. It can be slung over your shoulder, strapped to your leg for tac entry and a bottom loop to rope it up. Drawstring top was hard to close but after spraying silicone through it and working it out, very secure. To bad Blackhawk discontinued this item cause it is very well made and price is reasonable for the quality you get. So get it while you can cause 3 locations I went to had this bag listed only to receive an email saying 'Not in Stock' and 'Discontinued by Vendor'.

Not all that
|
The story is that the 'plain' sister decides to raise her 'pretty' sisters baby. The pretty sister is so rotten that its almost too much to be believed. Then the so called hero Royce comes into play. He is the plain sisters boss and is a total degenerate. I realize this book was slightly before the AIDS epidemic but I would not have touched that guy with a full bio-medical suit on. Anyway, as usual once they give the plain sister a hair cut and some makeup she turns out to be a beauty. Royce keeps heeping abuse on her thinking that she slept with his brother (while the entire time he is keeping time with the nasty sister). Meanwhile his family blackmails her into marrying Royce so that his mother can get remarried and she (at the ripe old age of 23) can take care of his five siblings and her sisters baby. Nice huh? She would have been better off finding a nice home for her nephew and kicking her nasty sister to the curb and actually living her life. To me this book was sad.

An artist in the making...
|
Hilary Duff shows that, although she did not write any of the songs, she put a large amount of effort into collaborating with other musicians to process ideas and create a work of art. Metamorphosis was, overall, a "pretty good" CD. While the sound was highly original and tasteful, some songs didn't reach expectations. I was, however, pleased with the quality, meaning the song style.favorite songs:1. So Yesterday is a traditional break-up song about getting over a boy. It certainly worth condiseration listening to.2. Come Clean3. Little Voice4. Anywhere But Here5. Party Up6. Why Not**cheetah**

st. awful
|
what a waste of money. I've got every Metallica CD (except "S&M). After this debacle, I'm not sure I'll get the next one. It sound's like they are trying to hard to be "ANGRY" and it shows. Is it too much to ask for some melody??? You know, you can be Hard, Heavy AND Melodic. Everything sucks about this record. I was wondering if it's just me, so I asked friends about "st. anger" and they all agree with me. What happened Guys? The rating system forced me to give it one star, but I gave it 1 star too many.I guess even the Mighty MET is not bulletproof. Let's hope this is just an aberration (like 'Van Halen 3',another band that I once thought could no do wrong). Rock Music doesn't have many great Bands left. I hope this once great Icon can rebound...

Educational Software?
|
This program is more about earning points than learning. It's more like a video game. The plot is really weird. In the beginning you have to interview with the rat before you start"Playing." After the interview you do a cross word puzzle on famous artist. Come On! In 5th Grade you learn American History! No American History on this program! I get frusterated a lot because it's so hard to exit the program. You click all these buttons before you exit! Poorly written Software! I Give them a F-- for editing. I don't have fun using it! Knowledge Adventure is the worst software company. I like Clue Finders 5th Grade MUCH Better. Use that program. Stay away from all Knowledge Adventure products.

How could a company ever produce this??
|
We purchased this mobile to go with the matching nursery set. I still can't believe how bad it is. Within a minute the string that attaches the mobile to the device that spins it broke. I decided to use a zip tie to patch it to see if my son even liked it. He did but it has too many design flaws to go with it's poor quality. The tree is just a plush toy with no support, so the limbs sag making the animals hang low. Even with that sagging of the limbs some of the animals get stuck against the holding arm. When that happens you have to give it a nudge to get it spinning again. The mobile is powered by a wind up that lasts about 2 minutes. The music quality is low and after a few days of use the mechanism in the wind up started making constant loud noise.I'm returning this piece of crap before anything else happens. I'm half expecting one of the stuffed animals to suddenly explode.

Treasure Island
|
Like a lot of fans of this movie, I've waited 21 years for it to be released on DVD. I still have the old VHS copy of it I bought in 1990 and have just about worn it out from watching it so often. This is the quintessential pirate movie, not to mention one of the great classical novels. I was happy to see when they did make this movie, they used a director who had actually read the book first. From start to last, it followed Robert Louis Stevenson's masterpiece which made it even better. Something I noticed is the detail they put into it, from the authentic clothing to the weapons to even the food (salt pork stew was a staple aboard a ship). As a bonus, who knew that Christian Bale could act ? He was 16 when this movie was first made and he easily held his own against screen legends like Heston and Reed. If you like pirates and adventure on the high seas, this movie is a must have. There's never been a better one made. Ever.

SUSPENSE FILLED COMEDY SUCKED
|
Let me say this. This is my first dean koontz book I've read and let me tell you I'm not impressed. The starting hundred pages are fast pace relentless suspense. But after that it becomes this comedy thriller witch I did not like. The carachters were well drawn and there was some good suspense but the ending SUCKED.I felt like he took the easy way out and just made up any old ending. That was the huge flaw of the book. It was like he coud'nt find a sutiable ending so he just gave a bad one. The only thing that kept me from giving this a 1 was del. The mysterious heat packing woman that can kick any demons ass blindfolded. The mystery to her was the best put when I found out why she's so wierd its disapointing. She was the best part of the book.Mr koontz im about to start intesity and I hope that its better then this juckass story

Looks nice, Breaks fast
|
I liked the price, looks, and features of the scale at first (why else would I buy it). However, after a month of checking my weight daily - it stopped functioning. I thought it might be the batteries, but it does the same thing with fresh ones. My weight was around 185, and it came down over the course of a month to about 170 (or so I thought), but about a month later the scale would give inconsistent readings. It would report weights anywhere between 140 to 189 from one reading to the next. One minute to the next, a nearly 50 lb difference?? Okay, so this is the point when I changed batteries, but the same thing continues to happen. Resetting the scale doesn't help at all. If you want a random number generator, the Taylor scale is GREAT. If you actually want to know your weight, get a real scale. It's a real POS.

A DELIGHTFULLY FUNNY HALLOWEEN TALE
|
I am always on the lookout for new and funny Halloween books from my three year old. As an October baby he just loves everything about Halloween. This is a new book and is one of the best we've found in a long time. A witch is on her broomstick flying to the Witches Wobble, a big party. But along the way she encounters a host of Halloween characters who hitch a ride on the broom including a skeleton, pumpkin, Mummy, black cat, ghost, and a bat. Soon the broomstick comes crashing to the ground under all the weight. They arrive to the party only to find that all of the food is gone. The group then decides to go trick or treating and eventuall crash a kid's Halloween party. With their bellies full it's off home on a sturdy new mop! Elizabeth Spurr has written a very humorous Halloween story that kids 3 - 6 will love. Great illustrations from Ethan Lang as well.

"Pulse",good - but it's no "DSOT"
|
Pulse, the DVD came out-FINALLY-yesterday. I, like everyone else was waiting for it-mouth foaming-as a child waits for Christmas. I was NOT disappointed! A wonderful job! Excellent sound, better than expected video and a treasure chest of extras make this DVD a MUST HAVE for anyone who likes "Floyd".I really don't know what some people are whining about. David did an admirable job with what he had to work with and my hat goes off to him! Thanks, old friend.The only thing I have left to say is, "Where the heck is `The Delicate Sound Of Thunder' DVD"!!!!!? It blows the "Pulse" concert away! And PLEASE, this time around, could you put the "A New Machine (part 1)-Terminal Frost-A New Machine (part 2)" part, back in? Do that! and you'll get 5 stars!

THEY ARE THE GODS OF ROCK!!!
|
The greatest band of all time brought to you live. What more can you ask for? This is a must have DVD to add to your collection. Their raw and unbelievable performances show all wannabe rockers what a real band sounds like! Plant's vocals are incredible. Along with one of the all-time greats, Jimmy Page shows how a guitar was supposed to be played. Don't miss out on John Bohnam's reckless abandon on the drums. And don't forget about John Paul Jones. There will never be another band like this. If you never had the privilage of seeing them live, make sure you don't miss out on these performances! Put it in, sit back, and prepare to be amazed! It simply doesn't get any better than this.

Best. Set. Of. Speakers. I. Have. Ever. Bought. I couldn't be happier with these speakers. I know they are getting hard to find & expensive but, there's a reason behind that. They perform better than any speakers in their price range. It's been 3+ years since I ordered them from Amazon, and I won't ever get rid of them. I'll be a sad little man when/if they ever go out.

A great disapointment and huge waste of time....
|
This was the worse out of all the Matrix movies. I say this because it was like a rip off of the Star Wars series starting with chapter 4 "A New Hope". Same story lines,same hero super powers (holding the hand out and controlling objects) and same dull effects. A lot of blue screen (or chromo effects) in this and they where done very slopply. The bullet time effects was (thank god) at a min. The story line continued to drag along leaving the action to die down. Why was this story line needed to be put into 3 different movies? This movie could have been wrapped up in maybe one or two movies . After a while the action got perdictable. Just a string of hollywood greed and a huge waste of time. Save your money rent it first or watch Star Wars instead !!!!

IS THIS A JOKE?
|
I have owned this filter for about six months. I was really interested in it because you never have to buy replacement elements. After using it for a month I cleaned it and didn't find any dust or dirt in the electronic grids. I found dirt on the prefilter (foam) element, and fine dust on just about everything else. I found it on the plastic around and behind the electostatic grids and even on the clean air side of the fans. There was absolutly no dirt on the electrostatic element. So I called service and I was told to send it to them, which I did at my expense. After about three weeks I recieved a replacement unit, with no explaination of what the problem was. The new one works as poorly as the old one. All I bought was a very expensive fan. I would say, don't waste your money on this filter. Buy one with the replacement elements, At least you know they will do something!

Sharp and Comfortable, Rusting
|
The soft handles on these are dramatically more comfortable than my roommate's Cutco shears. The edge is quite sharp, and just as importantly, the cutting action is very smooth. Easy to take apart for cleaning. It says the steel is made in China. I often hear about problems with steel made in China, so that might be a hit to its longevity, but there is no sign of that in the workmanship or performance as of now.Edit: I've dropped this from a 5 star to 2 star review. I stand by the performance and comfort statements. However, after one trip through the dishwasher, these "dishwasher safe" shears have a bit of rust developing on them. This is simply not acceptable. I did not keep the original packaging, thinking they would last me a long time. I was wrong. Otherwise, I would be attempting to return these.

ongoing packaging problem
|
Wow. Looking at these other reviews it looks like Amazon has a real packaging problem. This is exactly the kind of board I have been looking for, at a good price. The first one arrived in its simple cardboard box with two skinny pieces of foam. I could tell by the rattle that things were not well. To its credit, Amazon is very good about customer service, and UPS picked it up the next day. The replacement arrived today, the same simple box packed in a much larger box, with a couple of crumpled up pieces of paper to protect it. Not. This board was in three pieces. Amazon will refund me my money, and suggests I select another seller. I would like to have them make good on preparing an order. But somebody has to be getting the message, and stop wasting all this time, energy, and marble.

If you can read, READ THIS BOOK!
|
It's been 24 years since I received this book to read. After two years of painful searching (longing really), I was able to purchase it. This is simply some of the best writing I have ever read. In some ways I am sad that I ever picked it up because other books seem boring in comparison. I've no found any other book that comes close to it. It is a grade above (so far). For twenty two years I have faithfully read this book a least once (sometimes twice) each year. It just never gets tired. It's the only book that I've read and can now open to ANY page and get totally taken up in the story. Even knowing what is going to happen doesn't deter the authors crisp, detailed, yet gut wrenching writing style, and raw emotions this book will pull out of you. I thank my friend Steve for allowing me to read the book for the first time so long ago. This is a MUST read for any fantasy fan.

Thank to another new wave band duran duran member nick rhodes and Limahl of the kajagoogoo the world got to see this wild hair band on mtv. i love all the songs of kajagoogooo and Limahl. i love too shy of course who doesn't!? ooh to be ah had a unique danceable song to it. hang on now is a perfect song if u want a song for a slow dance. Turn ur back on me i love definatly its very danceable (even though i think the band turned ther back on Limahl because he was the reason they were famous to begin with along wit nick rhodes of duran duran) Limahls solo career was awesome too. he had more success than the band did after his departure. if u want classic new wave music get this cd.

Cat killer with excuses
|
I did NOT like this book at all. Certainly it was interesting, and the abuse described was horrific. However, there seems to be something missing in the diagnosis here - this woman killed probably at least 50 cats, strangling them while they struggled wildly, and I'm supposed to feel empathy with her? I couldn't come up with anything but disgust for her. And so many times it seemed like she was proud of killing cats. I don't think she'd get the same diagnosis these days. "Psychopath" comes to mind. Ugh. Someone recommended this book to me is the only reason I bought it and read it. I wanted to stop reading it after the first cat killing, but thought MAYBE there was some redeeming value to the book. I think the person who recommended the book to me forgot the cat-killings were in there, because when I went to tell her I had bought the book, she was already telling me NOT to read it. Ha. Sorry I wasted the tiny bit of money on this traumatizing, nasty melodrama.

Best safety boot sock I have used to date!
|
When I wear my steel-toe boots for a couple of house, there was no problem. But after a few hours that edge on the tor bothered the heck out of me. To the point that I would get blisters. I was ready to blame the boots, but decided to do some research. Ah - special socks. Made sense. I ordered several different pairs. For all day use, these are the best. The padding on top goes further - past the toes. It's thicker and provides more cushion against that steel edge. Use steel toe boots or shoes all day? Get these socks!

Possibly the worst movie ever made
|
Everything about this movie is awful. Nothing redeeming... The acting is terrible.. the script is complete nonsense, the directing is bland and unremarkable. This is the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen some terrible movies. This blows them all away. Usually I can laugh at movies when they're really bad, there's nothing laughable about this garbage. I wouldn't even know where to begin... No suspense at all. Sickeningly bad. Save yourself the trauma and skip it. I've also noticed that the only people who like this movie at all seem to be obsessed with the lead actor in a really scary and sad way. Avoid this like the plague.

Lanegan Peaks on this album
|
What makes Bubblegum the best album Mark Lanegan has ever made is the consistency. EVERY SONG is good. The whole album doesn't sound the same either,like in some previous albums,and the music is more sincere.He truely puts down what he feels.Theres an array of emotions to say the least. Every song is completly diverse from the one before it. Some have powerfully driven rythms, with screaming guitars . And the next song will have slow, consentrated,straight out beautiful music with perfectly synchronized vocals and heart-felt lyrics. The visions Lanegan can make you see with his words are truely amazing.There's no way to describe an album like this. You've got to heard it and review it for yourself. The more you listen to it the the better it gets. It's that good. Star tracks include Morning Glory Wine, Head, Hit the city and Strange Religion .

MORE CHILD ABUSE 2
|
Please don't use this book! I just don't believe this stuff! I have a 14 month old baby and he still wakes up occasionally in the night. Not a problem. I hold him or nurse him until he goes back to sleep. I knew coming in that parenting takes some work and maybe a little sacrifice. I comfort my child when he cries. I hold him when possible, or talk gently to him. I have never hit or isolated him. When he does something I don't want him to, I stop him. I say "no" and move him away. As often as it takes. Distracting helps, too. We have childproofed many items to reduce battles, because he is too little. He is just now starting to understand a bit that there are things he isn't supposed to do, and we are working with him. I dread to think what children raised in accordance with this book and its predecessor will turn out to be. Cold-blooded, and either very mean or very sad and victimized. Definitely no self-esteem.

Hmmm...not so good.
|
I liked the idea of a compact cotton candy maker. However this machine did not perform up to my expectiations. First issue is once you have added the sugar and start the spinner, sugar shoots everywhere. This even happens when you slowly spin the spinner by hand to settle the sugar before start up. What a mess. Secondly, it takes quite a while to even get one decent sized cotton candy serving AND the serving is not even close to what you would like to have. My daughter replied "is that it"? After waiting for 10 minutes. Forget serving multiple children with this machine. It will only cause frustration. The only next option is a $200 machine which is way out of our budget and much too big to store. I'm sad because we have a Nostalia Electric Popcorn Machine (tall standing one) and we love it. I guess you need to buy it big to get a worth while outcome. Oh well.

Bustin' boundaries

This is the CD single version of The B-52's hit "Roam". There are 5 remixes of the song, plus the b-side "Bushfire". "Roam" is a great song, but the problem here is that the remixes don't sound all that different from each other. It would have been more interesting if they some more radical remixing. Here is the track listing:1. Roam (7" Remix)2. Roam (Radio Mix)3. Roam (12" Remix)4. Bushfire (LP Version)5. Roam (Extended Remix)6. Roam (Instrumental)

Unique night light
|
This was a birthday gift for my 2 year old. It took her awhile to warm up to it but now she is very fond of it. It works as a good night light to help her go to sleep. The lights automatically turn off after 45 minutes. My daughter really enjoys the ability to switch the constellation colors (orange, green, or blue) as every night she gets to pick one. We have the turtle on a dresser by her bed and the stars and moon show up well once the lights are off. Although the turtle has a hard shell, my daughter still likes to sleep with it, as I often find it under her arm after a nap. One last thing to note, when we get our turtle, initially only the orange light would work. A quick check of the cloud b website reveals this is secondary to low batteries. A set a fresh batteries fixed this problem. The turtle and all the different lights have been working well since.

Boring, Repetitive, same old same old.
|
I didn't really know what to expect with this release. I have played every previous grand theft auto release before this. I thought the first one on PlayStation 2 was awesome along with San Andreas. The others were same old same old. Now this. There is NOTHING new in this release. It's the same old same old. Boring and repetitive. I think I might be done with the grand theft auto series after playing this. The "friend" thing they entered in this game is lame and annoying.I don't what else to say. The game is dull, the main story is actually ok, it's very repetitive, and did I say DULL? I'm mad that I wasted $60 bucks on this game.

What a waste of money
|
I am so sorry I purchased this book. The authors have disguised a history lesson into a mystery. Actually, there was no mystery. The characters were unlikable and highly unbelievable. The long drawn out plot, full of fluff, was too much. I am surprised I made it through the entire book. I stayed up late reading, hoping that some big secret would be revealed in the end. I was wary of the DaVinci code because of all the hype so I chose this book instead. Now I am reluctant to read Davinci! If you are absolutely fascinated by the Italian Renaissance, this book is for you. However, if you only have a passing interest, get ready to be bombarded by historical facts and characters who are too smart for the average reader. Save your money. Get this one from the library.

So unbelievably bad
|
I was shocked by how the tone in this installment had shifted. It is almost as if the director was out to make fun of the film he was creating. The wedding toasts, really? Gah! Embarrassing to watch. The dialog was stilted and the acting was soap opera'ish'. Poor Taylor Lauten seems to have been given the worst direction. What happened to the breath taking scenery? Even the scenes shot on the honeymoon were nothing special. Parts of the film looked like a television series while others, most notably Edward and Bella leaving in the Volvo for the honeymoon, looked like a car commercial. I really hope the second installment is better but if shot the same time as the first, there is little hope for improvement. What a shame. This whole series could have been something spectacular if one great director had stepped up to helm all of the installments, like Peter Jackson did for the Lord of the Rings films.

Not worth owning
|
There is nothing particularly noteworthy about this book. Many of the pictures are reversed negatives, making the shells "sinistral," or reversed...a big oversight to shell collectors worth their weight in salt. Many of the specimens are ordinary, not intrinsically special in form or in color. It is as if the photographer simply took fairly nice photos of whatever happened to be at hand -- which is not acceptable. Where is Oliva porphyria? Conus dalli? (color/pattern) Malea ringens? Stellaria solaris? (form) My mind nearly boggles with the missed opportunities here! There are so many other existing shell books that are superior to this (The Shell, Abott, 1968, well worth owning, being a classic of the type) that I am speechless as to why this one was published. Compared to what could have been it adds very little indeed, and is not worth owning.

Acoustic excellence from a singer/songwriter
|
When I first listened to "Further On Tomorrow," I was amazed at how many emotions I felt listening to the lyrics as they traversed the experiences of this man's life. Marc Berardo is truly gifted as a writer. Consequently, it is his guitar playing that touched me on an even deeper level, as his instrument began to echo his feelings with each turn, broadening the emotional landscape of his work. It is amazing that this is his first album. Each of the songs on this work are uniquely meaningful, and it is fitting that "Stephen Marshall," a tale of wisdom born from the bottom of a bottle, won the Suwannee Sprinfest Folk Festival Songwriting Contest. Marc Bererdo paints images with his singing and playing that provide both a foreground and a background in your mind's eye. If you enjoy Ellis Paul, Martin Sexton, Dave Wilcox then you'll love this album. Look for more from this artist . . . I know I will.

Just not that interesting
|
'Murder Investigation Team' is a spin-off 'The Bill' and begins with solving the murder of Sgt. Boyden. The casting in this show show just didn't work. The 2 female leads are embarrassingly bad - no similarities to Cagney & Lacey. The supporting cast just seemed to go through the motions. It's hard to really put a finger on what was wrong with the ensemble, other than they just didn't work. The stories were gritty, but also heavy-handed and predictable. This is possibly worth a rental if you are bored, have nothing else in your queue, and want to watch an English cop show. However, there are much better shows out there, including 'The Bill.' I'd go with 'George Gently','Dalziel & Pascoe' or 'Lewis' before buying this. I own the DVD's and would love to get rid of them.

Very good!
|
I took a one-month Boot Camp for Women. We used Kettlebells quite a bit and I really liked using them. When the month was over, I decided to continue on my own at home. I bought Kettlebells from Amazon and this DVD. There are less expensive DVD's but I couldn't be more pleased with this one. I think Lauren is a wonderful coach. She reminds us how to breath and she's comfortable to listen to. I can't handle a 'Cheerleader-type' DVD instructor! Others have reviewed the format of the DVD, so I won't repeat that. I am 55 years old and have never enjoyed working out until being introduced to Kettlebells. I started out 40 pounds overweight, and have lost 20 so far through working out and eating quite healthy. I use Lauren and Kettlebells every-other day and do something else, like walking or another work-out DVD, on the in-between days. I think the best part is how fast the Kettlebell work-out gets the heart rate up. A 12 minute work-out probably equals a half hour of other exercises!

The Last Resort.....Buzzing sound, kind of funny.
|
Hi, I've owned this DVD since it was released, and my wife and I still watch it at least, 2-3 times a month. I just wanted to share a part in the concert where my favorite song, LAST RESORT starts. If you watch Don on the stool in the beginning, he starts to get worried and his head turns back and forth, and suddenly there is a look of disgust on his face. If your system can pick it up, he is upset over a BUZZING noise, and it goes away. I thought it was priceless. I can feel for him. I know he's a perfectionist. With their music I would be too. One last thing, why couldn't somebody SHUT that guy UP!! in the audiance who was yelling ROCK and ROLL constantly. He should've gone to a Metallica head banger!! The Eagles 'ROCK' real well, without making ear bleeding noise. Their passion for their craft, and music is second to none. The adding of Joe Walsh in '76 gave them all the rock they needed. Thank Mr. Walsh for that influence.

UGGGHHHH

What a hassle. Plz do not spend your money on this item. It worked perfectly for the first, say 2 days, then the thing would not read a disc. I would put a disc into the CD MP3 player and it sounded like it was loading, then all of a sudden, on the Tiny LCD screen it read 'No Disc.' i tried 5 other cds, no luck. The thing was definetly busted. I threw it against the couch a couple of times, put a CD into it, and it loaded perfectly. If this CD MP3 player had a face it would have a big wide grin on it like it didn't do anything, and that it was innocent. Then i tried to load the same exact CD an hour later after i turned of the CD MP3 player. Guess what, once again, on the tiny LCD screen it read 'No Disc.' If you want to blow your money away, then buy this product. It's not very much, but if you buy something cheap, you will recieve something equally as cheap. Take it from me, buy the SP-90 instead.

Poor Quality
|
I sent this card back the day after I got it. First of all, the enclosed software would not install properly on my XP machine. Perhaps I got a bad copy of the CD. Seems unlikely. I ended-up running the card straight through windows but the speed fluctuated and was constantly slow. Calling customer service was a waste of time. No phone number is given in the manual so I had to go online using my laptop and get it. I waited on hold for more than half an hour and finally gave up. I was attracted to this product by the price and other users seem to have success with it. I did not. My advise, don't gamble on this one, spend a little more money, and get a quality product.

A damn fine product!
|
I ordered the Skull Thor's Hammer at the beginning of the week, and recieved it under a week later. Speedy delivery is always note worthy. It arrived on the same day as another Mjolnir pendant I paid over triple the price for . . . and I must say . . . I'm VERY impressed. The craftsmanship is superb on this pendant. Additionally I bought a silk chord to put it on, only to realize I didn't need it, as the chord included is very nice, and has a great adjustible set up. If all the Dan's Jewelry pieces of of this quality, I see no reason to buy from anywhere else.

he blew it
|
George W. Bush blew it. His presidency is falling apart at the seams at a critical moment during this election year. Where to begin? Keeping America in the dark about 9/11. An uncessary war against Iraq. Publicly supporting his defense secretary who DIDN'T DO HIS JOB. And feeding hate, fear, and lies into the hearts of Americans all over. But there's hope. We have John Kerry. He's the man who will put Democrats back on the map and save our country and win back confidence from our allies. November should be an easy victory for Kerry. I'm pretty sure of this. I expect nothing less.

Good price but still not worth it
|
I have had this pot for over a year. It cooks well but my biggest complaint is that it stained from the get go and only continues to stain more and more on the interior. I think it is unsightly. Tonight when I used it I was taking off the lid and accidently tapped the lid to the pot and a chunk of the red enamel on the outside of the lid broke off. That was the last straw for me. I am throwing this pot away. I ordered a Staub to replace it because it was a little better priced than a Le Creuset. To me it makes more sense to spend a couple hundred dollars on a pot I will have a lifetime than a $50 on a pot I will keep a year. I am surprised by all the great reviews for this pot. The reviews were why I chose it. But beware - all of the lesser priced pots are made in China.

Get Strong!

My son and I were lucky enough to get an advance copy of this book. For years I have seen my son's attitude and self esteem go down the drain. Nothing but video games, the computer and pizza and sodas. It never occurred to me that his physical fitness (or lack of it) had so much effect on his life (and confidence). We made a deal that he would give this book a try. I really didn't expect much, but in a few short weeks, I saw his whole life change. He rushes in from school and heads for his weights and his workout. I think he finally feels that he has some control over something in his life. I feel that this is a much more productive way for him to spend his afternoons. He has more confidence, more interest in life and he is even starting to get better grades. I highly recommend this book to other parents who don't want to stand by and do nothing while their sons wallow around trying to find themselves. Thanks Jake!

A Classic Halloween Film!
|
I got my Hocus Pocus DVD from Amazon today. Although, unfortunately, there are no extras on the disc. The picture is widescreen. This allows you to see more on the ends that are cut out on vhs's full screen format. The sound is fantastic 5.1 Surround Sound Dolby and, on my Bose system, it's wonderful. Bette's "I'll Put A Spell On You" and "Sarah's Theme" are so much more enhanced to hear. Also, Binx's shadow is the pointer to the menu. If you move Binx to the chapters, they are displayed on tombstones. It's about time we got it on dvd even if Disney didn't enhance it with Entertainment Tonight's Making of Hocus Pocus, that I saw just before the film came out, deleted scenes or even a trailer. The film is definitly 5 stars. Due to Disney's lack of support with any extras, Disney gets a 1 star for insensitivity to the fans. Nevertheless, buy it for the picture and sound.

Need More!
|
Oh wow is this a great band! I first discovered their music almost two years ago while they were on tour with the Dropkick Murphys and whoah momma! Was I blown away! I never bought anything by them however, until Underground Network, sold only by the title track, the lyrics of which hit a bullseye on a subject I feel very strongly about. And the rest of the songs follow suit perfectly. For everbody out there as Angry, Young, and Poorly Dressed out there as I am you need this! And I need more! I'm gettin' their past albums too now! That's how powerfully these guys will hit you! Buy this now! If you've never really gotten into hardcore the purchase of this album will be life-altering!

Bootleg

I bought this gift used for a "cheap" gift. I figured it wassnt to bed to spend $18 for this blu ray used because new ones are around $30 and up. So I get the package ontime, which I was happy about, open it and there is a Burned copy of the disk is there. I can say they did a great job by putting the picture on the disk and making a decent looking package but the disk when you looked at it was blurry. Also there was 2 disks not three.The outside package was folded and tapped and it had written on the back of it kodak paper. Really now, when did kodak start making the movie covers for disney? Ill answer it for you, they didnt. I didnt bother playing the disk because it wassnt a orginal Disney blu ray. How can someone have the balls to burn disk make a make shift case for it and try to pass it off as a deal. If I paid $2 bucks for the rip off I eat my loss, but $18 your out of your mind. Product was returned.

I just recently re-purchased this item for the second time. I had the previous one for two years and no problems (the old one still works - but I like to replace them in that time frame). This humidifier unlike many of them - you can actually see the mist very clearly being emitted into the air. Close the room and it works very quickly. I can begin to tell a difference within 5 - 10 minutes. I like that there is no filter to change. It's convenient, works perfectly, super quiet; very nice. The penguin is the best designed one in my opinion, because not only can the head of the penguin be moved in position - but also the mist comes out of the penguin's 'beak' instead of just shooting straight up into the air. It's also the most attractive and versatile model as well. I would highly recommend this one. Refill/clean at least once a week and you're pretty much good to go.

As good as the movie!
|
I wont say that you have to see the movie to enjoy this, but it sure helps. They really work well together. Alot of the tracks are from the Swanky Modes, I believe a ficticious group from the movie that sound like James Brown. Those are real good. But the Devo and King Kotton songs are hysterical. Again, seeing the movie makes this 5 times better. Fishbone adds a funky track from their "Truth And Soul" album too. My only complaint is nothing from "The Blender Children". Now if you gotta have "Mr. MX7" you'll have to hunt down the "Lords Prayers II" collection, by Lords Of The New Church. See and hear this movie. In a word, it's AWESOME!

Full of Half-Truths
|
I had the opportunity to view this video in a university class on witchcraft. It is full of half truths and in some cases false info. It is a very good video styalistically, but is unfortunately inaccurate with its content. The study of witchcraft persecutions has very little to do with black magic or demoic arts as this video does point out. On the whole the video is a lesson in unintentional or intentional propaganda. It is hard to tell how the authors of this tape were able to gain the evidence to back up their claims. The number of people they cite as being executed seems inflated and inaccurate. Buy the book "Witches and Neighbors". This is a scholarly account of the hunts and puts them into perspective. The connections that this video makes between Christianity, Paganism, and modern Wicca are very loosley developed and unreliable. I encourage you to view this video with a skeptical and questioning mind. Witchcraft trials are exciting and contriversial. This video is both.

Useless.
|
I had great hopes for this machine--at least my wife did when she purchsed it. We are avid gardeners who wanted to add substantial composting to our arsenal. This McCullough machine is not designed to mulch 1)large twigs 2) rose canes 3) ornamental grass stalks, 4) any garden waste that is not bone dry. It can shred dry, very dry, leaves. Honestly, that's about it. Another devoted gardening friend also regrets purchasing this machine. In her words, "it's good if for some inscrutable reason you want to chip chopsticks, one at a time." I wish I had the money back in our pocket and I'd put it towards a real chipper shredder which, alas, will cost many hundreds of dollars. This machine is worthless. Did I mention it frequently jams? If jamming was a step in creating compost, this machine would be a champ. Bottom line: frustrating waste of time, space and money. DO NOT BUY if you need more than chopped dry leaves.

A big dangerous disappointment!
|
My son got this toy as a gift, and I did my best to set it up. I took it out of the box, and began to decipher the instructions. First off, the instructions are vague, and do not clearly explain how the toy works. It shows a pump, then a hand releasing the toy, but neither of the methods worked. I thought maybe I had just received a defective one, so I searched the internet. I found many other reviews stating the same thing. So I took a screw driver to the back of the toy and pressed the back to see if maybe something was stuck. It released so much pressure it could have put an eye out! Please... do not let your children play with this thing unattended! The toy is unpredictable and there is no telling when it will decide it will discharge. I will now be removing the water and "accidentally misplacing" the pump so my son will be left with a push car. A big dangerous disappointment!

Zombie Pinball - cool!
|
This is a perfect example of an area where the GBA shines and the backlit screen of the SP model does it great justice. It's a cross of pinball and the arcade shooter HOUSE OF THE DEAD. You kill zombies walking around a pinball machine with the ball. It's easy to learn, fast fun! Good for a 10 minute break or an hour of smash em up time killing. The game is a little dark for the normal GBA, but the SP handles it very well. The graphics are good, and I liked how the zombies explode into a bloody mess. It's violent pinball, and very twisted and fun. I could see Goth kids screaming "Finally, a game made for me!" I really liked it. It was as if Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson made a video game.

Love this book
|
I bought this book (on paper) when it first came out. One of my best friends had lived in Paris for several years and I was fortunate to have been able to visit many times. This book gave me a small glimpse of what she went through being a stranger in a strange land. For some reason this weekend I decided I had to read it again so purchased it for my kindle. And it's still as good a book years later. Sarah is a very good writer and, perhaps, a better story teller. Her experiences are interesting and enlightening. Her sense of humor and her ability to relate the same are exquisite. I feel badly for those French women who wouldn't give her the time of day - she is the sort of person that most women would (underline) want for a friend. As mentioned, I love this book. I wish she would write a sequel as I would love to know how everything has turned out..

A different world
|
Reality is a great escape. The vocals are amazing and the hooks are addictive. Bowie is a timeless legend and will always make great music. I love that this album is outside the box and that the songs hit you. The guitar rifts and editing are amazing. The songs all belong together on this album and the sound is intoxicating. The best songs are "New Killer Star" and "Days". "New Killer Star" has a driving beat and origanlity. "Days" is a song that haunts you and the chord changes are so fluent. The whole album is a detour from the usual. This is music.

Worked "ok" for 2.5yrs... Now it's near death
|
I should've dug a little deeper before this purchase. Apparently more of these issues are creeping up. Amp was never really impressive. It did the job, and sounded pretty good, but would overdo some of the dramatic lows, and then be barely audible the remainder of the time. I put in at least 5-6hrs playing with adjustments when I first set it up until I finally called it good enough. Didn't think much about it until a couple months ago when the dramatic lows would simply shake the house and cause our cats to nearly hit the roof! This would occur at the most inopportune times such as during a commercial while watching regular TV. We do not watch TV or movies, nor listen to music at loud levels (not even remotely!) I have now turned the amp off as it became embarassing when company was over this past weekend. Bottom line... for it's size, it was fairly decent, not great. 2.5 years of "OK" use though is simply unacceptable. Will NOT buy Klipsch again.

Blues By Roosevelt "The Honeydripper" Sykes
|
Approximately 39 min. Digitally remastered. This is a prime example of blues shouter Roosevelt Sykes in all his glory. Recorded in 1961,not much else is known about the session. Interestingly,this album was produced by Memphis Slim,who also recorded for Folkways Records. Sykes is in fine form with his powerful vocal style and his always lively piano work. The tracks are paced very nicely and of course it wouldn't be a Sykes recording session without an instrumental (R.S.Stomp) to really liven things up. There is probably no other blues singer-piano player who seemed to put out so much electricity in everything he recorded,and this is no exception. Even old work-horses like Sweet Old Chicago or 44 Blues get the "Honeydripper" treatment. If you are looking for an example of post-war blues by a solo singer-piano player-look no further. This is the real deal.

watch 28 Days Later instead
|
At least it was original. It came up with the fast zombies and handled it very well. This movie totally rips that off and many other things at that. The pregnant zombie mom was ripped directly from Dead Alive, the editing was copied also from 28 days later. And what the f**k is up with these MTV music video directors being hired to direct all these crappy remakes of great classics? It's bulls**t. As a matter of fact, after watching this, I am through with remakes. F**k em. Saw the Psycho remake, damn it was boring. Saw the Night of the Living Dead remake, Barney compared to the b/w one, the ending to the original scared the hell out of me, where the f**k is it? saw the Texas Chainsaw remake, the most boring, long, and drawn out pile of wasted exposed film stock EVER, and now this. F**k remakes, they suck.

songs you haven't heard
|
Good grief! Not one other review of this wonderful CD. If you are a fan you owe it to yourself to get this. Moments and The King and Queen of England are never-before released gems. No End is just Sandy and solo piano -- it is achingly beautiful and much different from the version on Like an Old Fashioned Waltz. Trevor Lucas's version of Forever Young is worth the price of the album. The Town I Loved So Well is also one of those rare vocal performances of Trevor's. He truly was one of the overlooked artists in England's (and Australia's) folk-rock scene. I give this Cd only 4 stars because it has yet another version of Who Knows Where the Time Goes. Must this be on every CD put together after Sandy's death? The booklet that comes with the CD has some great information for Sandy's (and Trevor's) fans. A must have for any Sandy Denny collection.

Denso Spark plugs!!!!
|
i Actually has really bad generic spark plugs in my Acura 3.2CL. It was probably installed by previous owner. but once the change was made. I could actually feel the improvement in responsiveness. The car runs alot smoother on idle, and hopefully a combination of these things will produce a better gas mileage! Really high quality stuff. Btw, it is always good to check the gapping of these spark plugs before installing them. According to my gap gauge, These are not pre-gapped. Another thing to do is to stay away from those gap gauge coins. They can damage your precious metal.Be careful with these!I love them!!!

I bought this video after having a baby almost 2 years ago. I was able to get back to my pre-baby weight but not my pre-baby body. I decided to buy this after hearing some good things about it from other mommies. I have a very large tummy, that is saggy still from having a baby over 9 pounds. I am on day 4 of level one and I can already see a difference! My clothes are looser and fit better. Plus I am starting to see some definition in my abs. People at work are even saying to me that they can see a difference. I know I will never look like Jillian and that's ok, but I feel better about how I look and that's all that matters to me. As a recently divorce mom who is trying to get back into the dating world, it has helped boost my confidence and allow me to put myself out there. Jillian is tough, if you want an easy workout go somewhere else, but if you want results... This is the way to go! I feel if the people on The Biggest Loser can do it, so can I.

Wellness is Good Food
|
Wellness is a food we like for our dogs both because of what's in it and what's not in it. Why does it cost a little more than some other foods? Think about what's not in it. No meat-by-products. No wheat. No corn. No white rice. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.Our bichon had been having major problems with itching and skin allergies. Our vet suggested we put her on a bland diet and gradually introduce foods to determine the cause or causes or her discomfort. One day an employee at a local pet store suggested we try Wellness with whitefish and sweet potato. I wasn't sure about feeding fish to our dogs but gave it a try.The switch to this Wellness formula was a great success. Evie loves the flavor of this recipe and eats it eagerly. While on the Wellness diet her itching and scratching decreased tremendously. If you think your dog may have food allergies that trigger itching and excessivve scratching, give this Wellness recipe a try.

Stupid and boring
|
Well, I rented this game because it was suppost to be like GTA 3.But it isn't. State Of Emergency is trash. All you do is kill people. I got bored after the first 30 min. The music is O.K. but that is IT!!!!! You can't drive around. It is also a lot more violence than GTA 3. You dehead people, blow them up with the grinade launcher and use their blown up body parts as weapons. Don't waste your money on this trash. Rent if first, then buy.

A deeply moving book.
|
My best way to describe Hammond Innes books is it's like watching a great black and white movie on tv ... this one was colorized. Elephants, Africa, a Safari, it sure grabbed by attention. I actually purhcased this book in 1977 when it was first published and never got around to reading it for some reason. Now, in 2004 I'm finally getting around to reading some of the older books in my library and was amazed that I had missed reading this one along the way. Its a great read with all the typical Hammond Innes plots: Man against the elements, Man against Nature, Man falls in love with the primary female lead. Great protagonist / antagonist confrontations. Oh, it's Innes at his best to be sure. Ok, why then am I not giving it 5-stars? Well, the ending was not all I hoped it would be. I won't ruin it for you ... it is good, but definately not where I thought it would end. Worth reading? Assuredly.

This book is a blessing!
|
I was introduced to this book last week and I am very glad I was. It is a wonderful book that is all about Easter. Easter eggs, Easter candy, Easter animals, Easter clothes, Easter Sunday at church,Easter everything. It says that all these things are fun and OK, But the best thing about Easter is JESUS. We have Easter because of Jesus. Jesus died for our sins, But He did not stay dead. He rose on the first Easter. He did this because He loves you and me. What a wonderful message for kids (and adults). This would be a great book to read anytime of the year. Not just at Easter.

Excellent
|
This book is excellent. For me this book is very painful because I am Haitian. It is hard to learn about what my people went through and still going through in the Dominican Repiblic. I can't understand how people can be so cruel. No one could have written this book the way Edwidge did. This book was written with passion only a native of my beautiful country can write. It is written in such ways that I can cry and smile by remenbering the time when I was living there. I can not describe this book because it is so close to my heart. But if I were to try I would say this book is amazing, unbelievable, painful. This book is good for every one to read because it's part of two countries history and by reading this book you will understand a lot about my people and our struggle. Thank you Edwidge, you make me proud. I'm looking forward to the next one. As a young adult who loves to read it is wonderful to read your books because you take me back home. VJ

Shag, The Movie
|
I knew it, I knew it!! When I bought the VHS format of Shag, I was disappointed because I was sure the music was different than the rental version I had seen. It wasn't nearly as good with the "new" music. I told the video retailer and they said I was wrong, that only one version was made. I read the reviews and I WAS RIGHT! One of the reviews says the DVD version restores the original music, so I am going to buy it. Can't wait to see the original version. This movie is one of the best feel good movies I've ever seen. Great for teens, adults...good memories. Like Pudge really needed that Metrical! It's the most fun!

Great for all ages
|
I am an elementary school computer literacy teacher and I bought this for my lab. The students love it! I use this with 3rd-5th graders. We are running W2K on our machines, and once in a while, the program will freeze when switching lessons. I end the program, and re-open it fine. It does save all the work when it freezes, so we are able to pick up where we left off. Also, I stress accuracy over speed with my students, and the games allow you to work on accuracy over speed. I have my students working on a goal of 15 WPM (higher if needed) and the games are much too fast for this typing speed, even when they are set to focus on accuracy. Many students get frustrated. If they can type at least 25 WPM, they have no trouble with the games.Overall, this is a great program for the price. I even use it to practice my own skills!

Lola's Amazing!
|
What can you say about a neighborhood that you don't live in? After reading Lola Lucas' book "At Home in the Park" I would say A LOT! If I ever move I would wish to live in a community just like this one. Ms. Lucas really touched my heart, mind and soul with her witty sense of humor coupled with her poetic writting skills. She articulates herself beautifully throughout the entire book. You can tell she is writing from somewhere deep within. You will feel like you know her. Rarely there is an author that comes along and allows you to feel like you are right there with her. It was a true pleasure to read. One of my favorite shares was the day in the park, "Click" a mental picture is forever yours. There should be many more people on this planet just like this author, the world would be a better place for it.

Page-turner Romance
|
Gloria Naylor's book Mama Day was wonderful. The story is told from the perspective of several main characters. The voice switches back and forth from character to character. You become attached the the characters and what is going on in their heads. You sympathize with them, want them to be happy. The romance between Cocoa and George is so honest and vibrant. They are not perfect, but they love each other. Mama Day portrays relationships as works in progress, not perfect ideals to be attained. Some of the themes include a search for identity and love of family and traditions. The community of Willow Springs is a community all its own, which hails no state affiliation. Naylor's phenomenal book makes the reader question his own identity in relation to his family history and relationships.

This teapot doesn't whistle- just looks pretty MOD
|
I 'm writing this review the day after Xmas 2005. We wrote on a family pollyanna we wanted a "whistling tea kettle". A relative gave us this. I just used it to make my favorite tea- Barrys Irish. The person who wrote the last review was right- it DOESN'T whistle! Also the lid doesn't go down after you press the lever. I had to manual squash it down. I followed the directions- I mean this isn't rocket science. The whole point is to get a sound so I know the water is boiling. I am going to be donating this to the thrift store and buying another brand that DOES work. We previously had a Revereware kettle that worked until the whistle part fell out and down a black hole in the stove. I am sad because this clearly is a defective product and should not be sold as a whistling kettle. I wish they had a no star option on this review. I let it pass for one star because I liked the chartreuse green color.

Does Not Fit
|
I am giving these mats a 2 rating for the quality of material. Otherwise, I would give it a 1. The material used was good quality, and the nibs grabbed well. But the mats are not custom fit. Matter of fact it looks like someone tried to cut them with a razor knife (the edges are not straight, and some corners are jagged). The driver's mat is too small and not cut in the right shape. the passenger mat is too large. It is cut in the correct shape but not at the correct angles. The two rear mats are too large. I could have gone to a home improvement store and purchased the mat material myself and cut them using the carpeted mats as a template. May still have to do that for the Driver's mat. The other three can be trimmed.

Give a hoot, read a book...but not this one.
|
I agree with some of the other reviewers that the initial premise of this book seemed promising at the start. The further into the book I got though, the more this promise started to wane. I only finished this book because I had paid money for it. The final chapters were actually skimmed rather than read (reading for enjoyment is not supposed to be a chore).As an example of what I didn't like about the book can be found in the last chapter, the coronation of Robert the Bruce. Numerous pages described who was there, who stood where, who said what. Very dry. I thought this was a novel, not "The Cambridge Journal of Historical Analysis"! All to what purpose? I still don't know. I was surprised that the authors didn't describe what Sir Whoisname's wife was wearing (that color of gown just does not go with her hair!) and how the floral arrangements were picked out by the monk with the bad skin condition.I'll end my comments with one word. Tedious.

Leslie West & Corky Laing
|
I had the pleasure of seeing LESLIE WEST many years ago at the BLUE ONION CLUB in NORMAN,OKLAHOMA. I own the LESLIE WEST/MOUNTAIN catalog on vinyl and CD. I bought this DVD and have watched it only once. LESLIE WEST AND MOUNTAIN rock the Mystic Club in Petaluma California. The scrapbook section with the story of MOUNTAIN'S fourth gig at WOODSTOCK, the story of FELIX PAPPALARDI and the story of MISSISSIPPI QUEEN add to the music included on this disc. The sound is excellent. The camera work is outstanding. Songs included on the DVD are BLOOD OF THE SUN, FOR YASGUR'S FARM, NEVER IN MY LIFE, THEME FROM AN IMAGINARY WESTERN and NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE along with CROSSROADS and some new songs from LESLIE WEST. CORKY LAING is one of rock's greatest drummers. Bass guitar is provided by RICHIE SCARLET and he is in excellent form. If you love LESLIE WEST AND MOUNTAIN you should buy this title as soon as possible.

Have patience!
|
Gotta say it took a while for me to realise how beautiful this record is. When I bought the cd I had the highest expectations because of their fine debut Mer de Noms. I got kinda half-disapointed as alot of people according to the reviews. But it turned out the songs had such an imense depth that you can't grasp after the first time you hear them. After that it just got better and better. Even the cover, The Nurse Who Loved Me, seemed to contribute to something perfect. The fillers are in one way a disapointment because I was hoping for 12 songs from APC, but in the context they fulfill a purpose.Alot of people will probably disagree with this, but I found the first record uncomplete. The first part of the record has wonderful songs as The Hollow, Orestes and 3 Libras. But the second part just feels like halfmade songs. Don't get me wrong, it's still one of my favourite records, but The 13th Step is something far better. It's perfect!

simple to learn, easy to play .....a fun spelling game?
|
this game is very easy to pick up and play right out of the box. A total of eight hands are dealt which makes the game short and sweet. We play without a dictionary which is more fun. The players vote on whether we think a word is valid and majority rules. The game really bogs down with players constantly looking up words. The first person to be able to play their whole hand, with one card as a discard, goes out and the rest of the players have one turn to put down as many words as possible. Points are scored based on letter value and some cards have more than one letter such as "qu" or "cl". You lose points for letters that can't be played. You cant play your cards on another players word. Highest score after 8 hands is the winner. Spelling and game usually don't go well together but this is a fun game for any age. I personally like Five crowns better.

One of the best games

I love this game! Croc 2 is about a crocidile who lost his parents a long time ago. His friends are fuzzy little guys named Gobbos. They speak a gibberish language. Croc travels all over the different worlds to find his parents. All i can say?Grapics are smooth and well doneit is hard to control croc at first, but then it smooths out.Croc has bad camera anglesVery hard and challenging, but hey, i beat it!!!Gobbos are really funny!The worlds are elaborate, and the players need good thinking skills.A lot of the people who wrote reviews hated it. They said it was too hard! Well, they must not be very good players, because there are harder games than Croc 2! You need patience, and skill. Well, i guess thats how the world works.I hope you enjoy this game as much as i do!

Great for Geocaching
|
Coleman Trekking PoleThese light weight poles are perfect for geocaching in the woods. Fully adjustable for height, they provide the needed support for going up and down the hills and trails. The ski pole like handle grip (with a compass on top) is ergonomic and comfortable. The rubber tip is easily removed to expose the metal winter tip. This metal tip is perfect for exploring all sorts of cavities such as holes & under logs. This tip is also great for poking through leaves & needles on the forest floor. The tell-tale metallic thud is a sure sign of a hidden geocache. We have not owned these poles long enough to tell how durable they are. However, I doubt that this will be a problem. I would recommend these poles to fellow geocachers and for anyone who needs light weight walking support.P.S. Fogdog was an excellant company to deal with for these poles.

Must've gone to press without a proofreader
|
I have a bit of a problem with Roger Black, in regards to his ego versus the repetitive nature of his work. I like his clean designs, but this is a guy who never tries anything new. He's been lucky to make a career of it. With this book, he seems to officially be resting on his laurels. Not much effort here except on the printer's part. Glad I didn't pay full price for this multi-page "gee, look at me" self-promo piece for Mr. Black. But my big problem is that...WHO PROOFREAD this thing? there are phrases that repeat over and over, multiple spellings of certain words and phrases, typos, and just plain misspellings. "Kristy Brinkley"? "Adobe After Affects?" There's dozens of them. Hmmm. Seems like it was rushed out with not much integrity. Mr. Black, if it's got your name on it, and you are the perfectionist you seem to be, then find a better proofreader--or do it yourself. It's embarrassing. Oh, and I double-dog dare you to NOT use red in a design.

Who could ask for more?
|
Forget the Annihalator GeFORCE2. This is the card! Unless of course you have more to spend on the Voodoo 5 5500, but thats 50 bucks more and this runs just perfect! I could not reccomend anything more since I upgraded from my Intel chipset. This is everything but worse! Try playing Diablo II or Unreal tournament and have Frame rates at 20 per second.... then upgrading to htis and gettin 80+. Now thats quality! In comparison to this card, my old Intel one is probably a 1 star. Go buy this now! You will not regret. Best video card, and video card company bottom line!

Great lens for the $
|
I bought this lens Last year on the Tamron Student program. Its a nice lens. My first one had a problem that showed up in the first 3 days, it would not go from manual to auto focus. So I had to replace it. A hassle but still worth it. I liked the lens a lot and only sold it off to move up to the much sharper Canon 180mm L 3.5. If you are looking at a 90/100mm Macro or the 180, get the 180, its so much nicer. If you cant afford the Canon L series, get the Tamron! Its tons better than the sigma junk! And the 180 gives you some distance between you and the object, very nice esp if you are shoot an insect!!!! I have some images up at Tamron.com and if you have a tamron lens you can post images there too!

Low cost and poor
|
For $150 its a great price for 5 pots and pans. However, you get what you pay for.Assuming they are delivered with flat bottoms, they continue to warp very easily and are poor choices for smooth top stoves. For whatever reason, they do not saute well. The balance and handling is poor. Between the riveted handles and the lack of a non-stick coating, keeping them clean is tough.If you are on a budget, you can probably do just as well at your local supermarket. If you have the cash, start buying good pans one at a time. They will last a lifetime and are a pleasure to cook with. Think Italian or French. There is a correlation with countries that have a history of fine cooking and the cooking products they produce. The Italian ones tend to be very expensive. The French are far more affordable and cook just as well.

Had to return - didn't work!
|
I was really excited to get this server for a big party. Boy was I let down when I discovered it was defective! Apparently there was a short in the unit, it would just cut off. The only way to get it to come back on was to turn the temperature knob past the point where it previously was. For example, it was on Low and cut off. When I turned the knob to Medium, it cut back on. Then about 15 minutes later, it cut off again. Then I had to turn it up to High to get it to come back on, and about 15 minutes later it cut off again. Luckily it was still within the return period so I sent it back. Maybe I just got a lemon. Overall the design was good, I liked the separate trays and covers.

Disappointed
|
In general I really love Melissa and Doug products. We have so many and have really enjoyed the quality, the clever designs, the learning opportunities and the non-toxic coatings. I could not speak more highly about them. And when faced with a decision to purchase a competitor, there is no contest. Until now.I am really disappointed with the Jumbo Knob Puzzle Geometric Shapes. Our daughter is repeatedly frustrated with this puzzle because although the shapes are typically symmetrical, these puzzle pieces/spots are not. As a result she second guesses her correct choices, gets frustrated, unhappy and confused. This puzzle is poorly designed. The spots for each shape should have been symmetrical, just as each of these shapes actually are in real life. I agree with the other posts, a circle should never be "upside down".Unfortunately, this puzzle is going into the trash, instead of being used and enjoyed like it ought to be. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Phenomenal Blu-Ray Best viewed with your eyes closed.
|
The music and performance were flawless. Simply sublime! This disc will definitely show off your Dolby TrueHD and make your ears happy. Crank it up and enjoy!The video, however, was perhaps the worst concert footage I've EVER seen. The lighting may have worked great for a live event, but it was absolutely wrong for video. A very large percentage of this concert is completely un-watchable. The stage is washed out in blues and reds. You can't see much of anything most of the time. Filming this concert was obviously an after thought. It had the potential to be so great, but it goes down as an "epic fail".This is one DVD or Blu-ray that is best enjoyed as audio only. Turn off the projector or tv and just put on your headphones and slip into audio ecstasy.

worth the $
|
i have to say that after watching these waner premiere videos off of netflix. i'm liking what is offered. i bought the 2 disc for the bells & whistles & was happy, but w/the commentary, it was ok. no dissapointments here. it the fact all these animators get their turn to shine w/what they've done. which can be justified, here. (no pun). i was impressed w/the back story of her. the story behind lie detector was nice, as well some of the other toons from the series. i recommend taking the easy way & try netflix. so the free 30 day trial is worth it. now i'm an amazon customer, i'm happy w/the prices to buy these with. thanks amazon!

Finally - Maiden is back
|
Finally got Brave New World today and I must say it's a pleasant surprise. While it's hard to say if this album will hold up to the classic Maiden albums (Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave) over time, it's MUCH better than anything they released after 7th Son. A lot of fans think the downfall of Maiden was when they lost Bruce. I think it was when they lost Adrian Smith. Janick Gers wasn't a good replacement for him - the twin guitar attack of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith is one of the crucial elements to Maiden's sound. And Gers couldn't pull it off. Now that Adrian and Dickinson are back in the band - the classic Maiden sound has been restored. (I wish they'd let Gers go and just get back to the classic line-up.) Skeptics should check this album out - Maiden is back! Looking forward to seeing them in the US - nothing beats a Maiden show. Up The Irons!

A Knight to Remember
|
I recently read the first part of Don Quixote, and I have to say that I was expecting a real snoozer. And I have to admit that, yes, Cervantes does drag on a bit. But critics of the novel's length are doing the work a misservice. We must remember that this book was written well over four centuries ago, when the very concept of a linked narrative must have been more than enough to hold the reader's interest. Cervantes's energy sizzles off the page at times, and you can tell he's really having fun with the work. I loved almost everything about this book, and while I might have liked to see it trimmed a bit, I still think Cervantes did a bang up job. Oh. One more thing. I lot of people seem to like Sancho more than Quixote. I'm totally the opposite. Quixote is the dreamer, the one who dares to look at things that never were and say " They might be giants ". I for one think thats boss.
