Mmmm... Good!
|
Keeper...I is the definitive Helloween record. Every Helloween fan owns it. While previous records had the obligatory Heavy Metal anthems (Heavy Metal Is the Law -- I LOVE that song :)), this one was the first truly unique album the band put out. This is the record that introduces Michael Kiske to the world and what an improvement he was over Kai Hansen's vocals! Things got so much better for Heloween when Kai gave up singing and concentrated on songwriting. Gem, after gem, after gem. One of the songs I play when I'm a bit under the weather is I'm Alive! Wooo! Bye-bye, bad mood!Come on! Buy! Buy! Buy! Buy!

What's The Big Deal?
|
I don't get it. What's all the buzz really about? That Jennifer Aniston can play something other than her "Friends" role? Cmon! Aniston plays Justine, a depressed check out girl at a small town retail store who longs for something more. She meets Holden, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, a much younger, new employee and has an affair with him. The skinny: he falls in love, becomes obsessed, gets her pregnant, robs the retail store and then......I won't blow the ending. Did I mention she was married to John C Reilly? Anyway, she tells him the baby is his and they live happily ever after in Normalsville. The story drags, though there is a very suspenseful pivotal moment for her (at a stoplight), but overall the film falls flat. Good Girl is nothing to run out to so save your pennies for the DVD rental. **1/2

Kept things cool at best
|
I bought this for my husband so he could keep his Mt. Dew stash in his office. He loves the nostalgic Coca-Cola emblem and its retro, cherry-red color. Overall, this wasn't worth the money. It barely lasted a year before the motor died. The handle broke off a few weeks after I bought it. He had to monkey around with what was left of the handle to open or keep it closed. He appreciated the thought, otherwise I would have more regrets about buying this. It's very small, fits 6 cans. Doesn't fit 20 oz. bottles. And as my title states, it kept things cool but not cold. The intention after it died was not to replace it, as it turned out to be a big waste of money. bummer!

Good, even very good
|
I am using this video to help with prolapse. It is good, even very good. The format is bit wanting. The introduction is fine. It explains all the movements and how to advance levels. But, when I wanted to move to the more advanced levels on the DVD, I found impossible to follow. There is a clear booklet that comes with the DVD. After using the introduction for a while, I just dropped the DVD and followed the booklet. If you like Pilates and are suffering from prolapse (which means many Pilates moves are now out), you might like this very much. I am not sorry I bought it. I do think that one must listen to their body. There are many types of prolapse and this might not be for everyone.

A true American classic.
|
Rarely does an album come along that is completely perfect in every way. In 1971 an album was released that is truly flawless, Led Zeppelin 4. Everything about this album is perfect. The art is so stunningly cool. As cool as the art is, the music is what really matters. "Black Dog" is a classic. "Rock N Roll" is amazing. "Battle" is an amazing epic. "Stairway" is a beautiful, but very overplayed song. "MMH" is a great song. "Four Sticks" is an amazing song as well. "Going to California" is so much more beautiful than "Stairway". The best song is saved for last however, "When the Levee Breaks" is Zeppelin's best take on the blues. Overall, this is the best album, musically, ever made by anyone.

Terrible Movie
|
I had such high hopes for this one. I had just finished seeing Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and was ready for another trip through that creepy town. I was disappointed, to say the very least. The story itself wasn't bad, I actually liked it. It was the execution of it that was so horrible. The CG artwork was the worst I have *ever* seen (The dance scene is a good example). God! They make better CG movies for video games these days. I would've rather seen it as a puppet show. Honest. Another thing that I really hated was the voice acting. It was too goofy for a story this creepy. And while it did have some creepy visuals (I'm talking loosly here) and a creepy story, the music doesn't fit. Period. Usually I'm very forgiving, but this was one of the few movies I actually dozed off as I watched. Don't make my same mistake. DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE. Watch Tim burton's Sleepy Hollow instead.

Jose-NM

First off, I don't like the smell of this product. I used it on my camp chef steel griddle one time. This griddle is great for cooking bacon and the grease trough works good. When cooking hotcakes after bacon they stick to the griddle...also we've tried to fry eggs and they break. After cleaning this griddle I just sprayed it with Pam which seemed a lot easier. But since I have retired this griddle. It is too hard to clean up and is limited to what it can cook. I have a non stick Cephalon 13 inch griddle with a handle on it that is smaller but much easier to clean and use. Also some large Non stick skillets. All much easier to use. But the large griddle is impressive looking. I don't need any more of this Cast Iron conditioner.

Huh??
|
I LOVED this series so much so that I marked the release of this book on my calendar. I finished it last night and have just one thing to say about - "Huh?"Where did the crazy hairy guy go? How did Jay get killed- was I reading too fast in anticipation? How did the Chardonne family end up in Baton Rouge? How did Winn know who Scarpetta was on the plane? What was the Dard piece about knowing Nic's mother?? Did Nic ever make the connection between seeing Bev at Walmart and once she was killed at the swamphouse? What...now Nic's family owned the swaphouse that Jay and Bev were staying at? Were Jaime and Lucy once involved?Maybe my ADD was in rare form but I couldn't follow a single thread in this book. I felt like I was reading 60 degrees of separation- is Kevin Bacon around the corner or maybe in the wine cellar?Don't waste your money!

Everyone woman has a Sister Secret
|
This is the best book I have ever read. Anyone that is interested in pledging a sorority or even a fraternity should read Breggie James "Sister Secrets." I was captured by the books essence. A particular character "Jennifer Stevens" captured my heart. Jennifer reminded me so much of myself. Jennifer was so shy, quiet, innocent, and pretty. After joining the sorority of her interest she quickly changed. She became a leader, outspoken, and most of all she blossomed into a women. Something I hope I will get out of joining the sorority of my interest. Like I said before, if your interested in joining a sorority. This is the book for you. Why? Because, it will truly intrigue you.

Great for that extra volume!!
|
I love these curlers. My set is about 7 yrs old! The top is broken off and I've lost 2 pins, but I just use a couple jumbo sized hair clips and it stays in. It does take a little practice, but I'm done rolling in 5 minutes.I have fine, longer (4-5" pass shoulders)hair. When I know I'm going to use the rollers I add some moose/gel before blow-drying. I section off my hair and spray aerosol hairspray on it. My hair clings to the roller and stays in better, plus it gives great volume. I also give a good spray all over after I'm done. I usually put on make-up while the curlers are in. I take them out and have "Super Model" hair, according to my hubby! I let the curls cool and relax then run my fingers through and I'm done.Another tip: Try rolling them in different directions....as in roll one under and the other up.Hope this helps...

This movie was an absolute suck fest
|
I thought about rating this movie a 2 but I know that it will haunt me for the rest of my life. I seen this movie and every time I look at it, it hurt my freakin eyes. The movie takes place mostly in a psychiatric hospital and poor helpless teens are being terrorized by Freddy. But does it really matter? Because you don't care for the characters in the first place. Good let them die. The sooner they die, the sooner this movie is over. The plot had no freakin point. And the actors might as well been on drugz thru out the movie. But I must admit, the director must have some talent for making this movie as bad as it was. Almost as bad as "The Blair Witch Project" Do you got something to say about what I wrote? And I know you do. Please write to me at: [email protected]

it works but won't let you configure it
|
I bought this when I set up my home network. The CD included told me that I didn't have an EBR-2310 when I tried to load it. hmmm That's what's printed on the router. Oh well.. I was on the internet anyway so who cared? I DID! When I tried to get into the router page I kept getting an error telling me that the page wouldn't load over and over. Since I use my computers for gaming, this router couldn't handle the traffic and port forwarding couldn't be accessed. Tech support was no help. They told me to buy a different router. Seriously! So, I will.

Neodisco Offering Takes the Cake
|
Finally! Dance/pop music that isn't offered on the silicone chest of an untalented teenybopper! I had all but forgotten about Minogue until her release of "Can't Get You Out of My Head." Since I couldn't get it out of mine, I picked up the CD, and actually listened to it all the way through on the first spin. I was blown away by this sexy, classy Aussie with her breathy voice and delicious beats. It instantly became THE disc to have playing 24/7. I soon began snatching up any of Kylie's records I could get my hands on, and they all have one defining trait. They're all fabulous with great songs. How many times have you bought a CD for one song and the rest was awful? You won't find that here or on any of Minogue's previous releases.Bottom line? Fun pop, great beats and a rewarding sense of unabashed fun. Couldn't recommend it more!

Say you didn't right this, Mr. Uris.
|
...I checked this audiotape out at the library. But I do a lot of purchasing here and I also rely heavily on Amazon.com customer reviews in making my book purchasing choices. Unfortunately, somehow I didn't consult them when selecting Ruins. Man I sure should have. After listening to Ruins, I honestly felt betrayed. I haven't anything new to add that hasn't already been covered in the other reviews. I would like to offer a challenge though. I challenge anyone to find a book from an author as great as Leon Uris that is as bad as this one. I grew up on Leon Uris. He is the reason I became a historical fiction devotee. For that I will forgive him (maybe not his editor), and I can only hope we will see a return to the writing standard of his previous works.

ACC Stop doesn't answer their phone. The recording is garbled. It won't take a message. They didn't respond by email for weeks, leading me to believe that they would never respond without Amazon's intervention.Then they had the chutzpah to email to me, "We would appreciate your 5 Star Amazon ratings.

This Looks like the Shield all over again...

This looks like the Shield all over again. The way it was done here.. The Book thing is cool. But remember when the Shield came out, just like this.. All kinds of people had to send it back. Yes me also. The Disc were all messed up. When I got my set back, they had put a paper cover on each Disc.Works great! Hello, did anyone pick that up... Looks like not... This could of been a great set.. Put put a paper cover on each Disc. And make each one, one side. It would work much better.....Be well all.

Dear Little Girls and, well, eh-hem, some Boys...
|
First of all, I received this album as a promotional item from the local music store that I worked for. So listening to albums is my life. I approached this with open ears and all biased opinions put aside. But it really does merit less than one star. They, the B-boys, are after-all, marketing gimmicks used to swallow every single dollar that any 8 to 17 year old girls may have in their pockets. Their music is heartless and contrived cheese pop. What's really sad is that they don't write lyrics or play their own instruments. But boy would they look good on TV! Right Ladies? Jealous I am? Not a chance. I am a little sad that the general public feeds off of this mindless marketing musical trash.

Great read!!
|
This was a great book! I picked it up just before I got on a long plane ride, and found myself wishing my flight was longer so I could finish it! Lighthearted regency but with deep themes running through. There is just enough setting of the stage for you to know who the characters are before the excitement starts, and it doesn't finish until the book is over! I was thrilled with the interwoven plot lines and twists and turns in the story. Although I like to think I'm a smart reader, I certainly didn't predict all of the surprises. I was so enthralled by this book that I purchased the next book in the series for my flight back home! Well written, serious but not too heavy, just what I was looking for! The secondary characters are hilarious! I wish every book I picked up on a whim would be this good! I will absolutely be looking for more Teresa McCarthy novels in the future!

The Ultimate Cabin Fever
|
This is the first novel of King work that I read. I had first seen the Kubrick movie and I was scared to death. I had to read the book. I was surprised at the differences. As I got further along in the story, I felt I was inside the minds of these three characters. The dillusions, the voices, the ghosts, the masks. When I completed this novel, I was still thinking about it for hours after. What struck me as the most frightening was that somthing like this COULD happen! Not the SHINING that Danny possessed, of course, but the mental breakdown of this man, stuck in a huge hotel for months with no one but his wife and young son. The mind is a powerful force. It can make you believe things that aren't real. You'll hear things that aren't there to be heard. You'll see things that aren't there to be seen. King goes into a lot of reality with this book, and the mind can be the scariest monster of all. I HIGHLY recommend this novel as a first KING read.

" VINTAGE WHISPERS "
|
This was a great concert of a truly classic group of professional entertainers. The songs were very well selected. The interaction with the audience was personal and very funny. Although some of the conversations were adult in nature, they were presented with good taste. The only shortcoming with this concert was the poor video quality of the production. Perhaps it was the lack of technology available at that time. It would have been great to have this on Blu-Ray.Overall, the DVD is a nice addition to your video library. This is particularly true during these days of extremely high concert ticket prices, excess traffic and parking fees. I attended their last concert in Boston three years ago and unfortunately, one of the twin brothers did not perform due to a serious illness. As these great performers begin to age, it becomes even more important to take every opportunity to purchase their DVD's and CD's to keep these memories alive!!

Great book, Light read, Entertaining. What more can you ask for?
|
This was a great book. It wasn't too long either. It kept me hooked and I wanted to keep reading. I finished it in one day because I wouldn't put it down! I haven't yet read the other books in the series but I'm going to. The book is about a girl named Nesta. She meets a boy and they start going out. He's rich but her parents are having money trouble and she can't keep up with the "price" of her boyfriend! She doesn't think he will like her if she tells the truth. Then there is Cressida, a snobby friend of her boyfriend. Don't forget her friends. When she gets in a fight with them she wants to cry! To find out how to she handles her problems read the book!

70's classic ...Malden and Douglass are a San Francisco treat.
|
I was under 10 when this series started and I love looking back at the way they told these stories in the 70's. Definitely my favorite era to reflect on. Here Karl Malden and a Young Micheal douglass are partners with the SFPD and from the theme music on you will enjoy these shows. I fly through these stories and just enjoy the 70's stories and how they were told. The acting is very good and in the 70s shows the members of the cast were so much more limited. The main stars of the programs dominant the screen time which I love. It was a good time as a kid and just pure enjoyment too look back and get a perspective on the stories as an adult. I enjoy them very much . It also great to see some of the guest stars that were growing toward roles that would later define them. This show is great. Get it and enjoy . If you 40 something you would love it !

Am I wrong for wanting to slap Rain?
|
C'mon give us some credit. All Rain is Dawn via an African-American girl. As a African-American I found this book(and broken wings) highly insulting. What is V.C. Andrews ghost writer trying to say? Perhaps he should find Mr.Peabody and his wayback machine and go back to 1950 where he belongs. Do all African-Americans live in the "hood"? Do they all read on a third grade level? C'mon do some research think of something new. Don't insult us we'd like a little change up. You can't just take V.C. Andrews novels and rewrite them into every other book you've made. The only V.C. like novel was Melody and that's still not saying much. How long are they going to keep this writer? At least take him to writing class so he can get some new ideals. As for the story of rain (sigh) Just read Dawn. It's just like Dawn. In fact don't bother buying any other novel. They are all the same Just replace the names.

These last forever.
|
I get like 6 years out of these. really, they last a long time. I own my second one now. I get most of the beard with it, then touch-up with a razor. mine is still working fine. who knows how long it will run for. even the blades stay good the whole time, but you can change them of course, but I haven't yet. and I get a good full beard, not sparse. I shave 2-3 times a week. if you can use an electric, try this one, you may like it much better than your current. it's certainly mowing my beards right down every week. and it must be even smoother if you use it daily. I give it some pretty long whiskers to cut and it does just fine.

When cartoons were cool...
|
Goodness, whenever I turn on my TV nowadays I'm just disgusted. The networks really expect me to be entertained while watching people loose weight or watching people compete for the love of some publicity loving you-know-what. Hmm, lets watch some cartoons. Oh... cartoons stink now also. So I search for an answer... literally. My youth provided the answer in Silver Hawks.This show is slick. From the rockin' intro to the cheesy yet fun-loving dialogue, you can't go wrong. Yeah it's a bit old school... but I'll play hooky from the new stuff to watch this. As an adult, do I feel guilty for buying this, watching it all, and then letting the intro run for about 30 minutes while listening to it over and over? No, and neither should you. Do yourself a favor and pick this up, or do your kids a favor and show them how things used to be in the cartoon world.

Purchase only if you have several hours to devote to setting it up.
|
Screws did not fit in the pre-drilled holes. Luckily I had the proper sizes in my tool kit. The seat is put together, but after 4 hours I have put it aside and will tackle the steps at another time. I wish that I had gone out and purchased one that was already assembled. I am out of the money, and I still do not have a kitchen stool! It's too heavy to think about returning, and like most people, I had to totally tear up the packaging to get it out of the box. It can't be returned. So, there it sits, over in the corner! I ran out of screws that would fit the holes but I have the ones that came with the stool. Maybe I will find a use for them You will get 4 screws and 12 bolts.Have your 16 screws ready before you begin. Save the 24 bolts for another job

Way To Go Ben
|
This is how art is supposed to work. The artist puts art into the community. The community reacts to this art, and the artist responds. This response is now where evolution is supposed to happen. The Postal Service is Ben Gibbard's (guitar/voice...) evolution. Along with Jenny Lewis, Jen Clark(?), and the Programmer From Dntell, this album spans genres from indie-shoe gazer-sap-pop to electro-synth-hop. Finally, something unique has come out of the indie-hipster community. And it's dancable. Also you should take note that it is over three years old. So, if you don't have it, where you been? If nothing else, this album is fun and sounds neat. So I say Way to GO Ben.

Horrible compared to other books
|
I read the first Black Daggar Brotherhood book by JR Ward before I read this book. I thought that it would be similar (not exactly the same but I had hoped it would still be fun and interesting enough to hold my attention). Boy was I wrong. I hated this book. I mean HATED. I had to force myself to read this book simply because I don't like starting a book and not finish it. Sure, my reading BDB before this book may have swayed my opinion but I simply could not stand it. It was boring, lacked any sort of interesting plot or characters. I thought it was a cheap rip off of so many other great vampire series. Don't buy this book. It's not worth your money.

Great idea but awkward to use
|
I received the Multi-tool B&D kit and I was encouraged by the concept when I opened this xmas gift. A sander, drill and saw all in one! But when I started to use the Multi-tool I realized this tool is not well engineered. Changing from one tool to the next is clumsy. The tool is way underpowered. In the saw mode, the Multitool bogged down when cutting thin wood! Also this tool is much too loud suggesting poor gear design. I did find the sander handy for corner sanding. Also the drill is good for low torque screwdriving. The final issue I had is how hot this tool gets even in light duty jobs.My wife will be returning this tool. I prefer dedicated tools that deliver in one application.

I love this mask. I remember as a teenager my DAD used to buy it to use it from time to time. He noticed it was not available anymore, so he bought every bottle he found. It lasted for years in our household! Then it was introduced again... and now they are discontinuing again? Why is that?! This along with their scrub the best products ever!!! So disappointing that they are discontinuing it AGAIN! and the worst... I can't find it in ANY store anymore! Glad can still be found in the internet!

Whiny Brat in Daddy's Clothes
|
This girl does not sound punk at all! She's just a whiny brat in her daddy's clothes. If you want real punk or something like it, Courtney Love will serve just fine. She does not have a hard edge to her voice at all. She sounds like an Alanis Morrisette clone. She whines incessantly in Losing Grip and I'm With You. Then she pretends that she's tough stuff while singing in a little girl voice in Skater Boi and Complicated. There is no edge to her voice at all. She is a total phony. This is not punk. It's the punk fm lite.

A "Tom Sawyer" Tale: Give it a break, folks.
|
All right folks: take this film for what it is. It is not an attempt to bring you Oscar-worthy entertainment. It is a fast-paced, ridiculous, fun adventure ride that borrows elements from a host of other films, books, and legends. Does the plot make sense all of the time? No...but it doesn't have to. Sure, I was amazed by Nicholas Cage's amazing ability to decipher clues that have remained a mystery for hundreds of yers. Could anyone have realistically done so? No way. But my question is: why let that spoil all of your fun?If you were at all interested by the previews, or simply enjoy a treasure-hunting tale, or simply are a fan of American history (regardless, of whether the "Da Vinci Code/Masons" story is plausible), you will enjoy this movie. Just don't take it too seriously. Nicholas Cage keeps this film afloat and the visual/camera work is very well done.So sit back, grab a bag of popcorn, and give yourself over to a Tom Sawyer tale.

Was it Fated to be so bad?
|
I've only read one other book of Meltzer's and that was The Zero Game. That book was a random pick-up at the bookstore and a surprise in disguise. I told my husband how much I loved it and how soon I was going to get another of Meltzer's book.So I got The Book of Fate.Good Lord. It started off well enough. But it got bad so fast, I kept checking the cover to make sure I was actually reading a Meltzer. Why were there so many holes? Why could I not care for Wes, the President, or anyone else? What was the link to Thomas Jefferson? What was the point of the crossword puzzle?Maybe he had a good idea when he started out. But somewhere it got bogged down in silly details and the details or explanations that should've come forth, never materialized.I was very disappointed. I wish I could get my money back.

Neat game, Great Card Art, IA cheats in Story Mode
|
Culdcept has great card art. It is a neat game. It is fairly difficult. The IA cheats in story mode. Example: The IA characterhad landed on a peice of my land and lost the battle with my creature and had to pay a toll of 280 putting the IA behind. On my turn my character landed on a peice of the AI's land. The creature defending the IA's Land was a gaint bat with 30 hit points. The bat had no additional land to boost it. My creaturesurvived the bat's attack and did 90 points of damage to the batdestroying it.I thought great now I'm going to win. Instead the battle was said to be a draw. My character had to pay 280 coins back to the IA character putting it back into the lead. Alsothe bat remained on the land as if it had not be destroyed.After that, I TOOK THE GAME BACK TO THE STORE.

Such a useless bouncennette!!!
|
When selecting products for my registry, the Eddie Baur "B" collection caught my eye! I loved the natural colors, so I decided to buy the whole set! After researching this product, I decided on purchasing the Deluxe Activity Rocker made by Combi for my house, and decided to leave the Eddie Baur Soothihg Bouncenette at my parents and in-laws. I figured even though this product did not have the greatest reviews, it will not be used everyday! However, this bouncenette is useless! My little one is only 2 months old and does not fit in it anymore, and he is an average infant! There is no support for the baby; I have been putting blankets underneath him and beside him to make it a little more comfortable! I am also afraid to leave my baby's side when he is in the bouncennette of fear that it will collapse! I am returning the Eddie Baur Bouncennttes, and will be purchasing the Deluxe Activity Rocker by Combi! At least this way, I know my baby will be safe!!!

Talks waaaaay to much, so annoying!

I got this DVD because I really like DVDs that have lots of short segments you can mix and match. I usually get 10 minute solution DVDs which I love. This one sounded similar so I thought I'd try it.I tried it once and it's unlikely I will use this DVD again. Denise Austin is soooo annoying! She talks NON STOP, and uses the most sickening cutesy terms. Also she only does maybe four reps at most of most of the excercises so it doesn't seem very effective. I didn't feel anything the next day at all. The excercises themselves did not challenge my body at all, however they still seemed way too complicated. I also didn't like the way a lot of the moves were quite 'dancey'. This DVD is ok for beginners, as long as you can stand the constant annoying talking of Denise. Personally, if I never hear the words 'zip up your abs!' again, I will be happy. I'm going back to 10 minute solution.

How to lose friends and alienate people
|
Not the best book on making your own film. I was largely very disappointed. I dont know which books the "rave" reveiewers were reading but when I bought this book I thought I must have got a different book with the same title. Interesting in places but I learnt more from reading 1 edition of Moviemaker magazine. The free CD is full of strange files, that whilst probably very interesting to the author, prove to be quite pointless. My advice to anyone really interested in learning the art of movie making the quick way is firstly get a subscription to Moviemaker magazine. For less than $30 you get up to date, useful info. and a free copy of Moviemakers own, "Guide to making your own Film". Then look for the only other books I could recommend, "Rebel Without a Crew" and "Roadracers" both by Robert Rodriguez. Also buy "El Mariach" on DVD and check out the 10 minute film school which comes as an extra. Avoid this book.

It's No Mini-Disc Player!
|
My Sony mini-disc player died after a short life (moment of silence). So when I got a new job, the toy of choice was an iPod. What a difference!The bad as compared to the mini-disc player is that the iPod doesn't have an LCD display remote control. So with so many songs, it's hard to blindly navigate if your iPod is stashed away. Hopefully Apple will create such a remote. Otherwise, it wins over the mini-disc player hands down!The new mini-discs hold 5 hours of music. 2 years ago that was a big deal. My 20 Gig iPod has 17 hours of music already and I am using merely 390 MB. That's less than a fraction of its capacity. The iPod's looking at me like, "When are you gonna REALLY add some music?"The 3 lines of music data display the song title, artist, and even album! And the sound...oh boy. I feel like I'm at a concert! Excellent sound! You can also tweak the sound with the equalizer.Once they make that LCD remote to make navigating easier, it'll be perfect.

Valuable Info
|
I always wanted to read one of the books written by this guy. I picked what I think was his first book. Anyway, the psychology of various streetfighters he goes into is incredible. Where did he learn all that? He writes about people you DON'T ever want to mess with and describes them with stunning accuracy. Its just amazing that he has figured out so much. That in itself is why this guy is very credible to me. He couldn't have figured all this out by surfing the web or playing in dojos (i.e. the "wolverine" personality). You need to get this book if you are serious about fighting or protecting yourself. If you want to just play in the dojo, don't get it.

Great Pedal... Original was better
|
I have the original DOD Death Metal and the original DOD Grunge Pedals (amongst a plethora of others). The O.G. Death Metal had more clarity. Digitech's version is a little too "hot" and causes more unwanted feedback. I love feedback but it is much more difficult to control with this version. If you can find an old DOD, get that but this one is still a good pedal. For those who say the Grunge is better, it's a matter of opinion and style. The Grunge has quite the nasty tone but the Death Metal is a "tighter" sound. The Grunge was made to be noisier because it was intended for grunge!! The Death Metal needed to be more precise for more staccato picking that metal has. For those complaining about not having an old fuzz type tone, you can get this but why would you? IT'S A DEATH METAL PEDAL. They make other pedals that are better for fuzz and vice versa.

Durable, reliable, and log lasting
|
Ive had one of these for 10+ years now. There is an art to lighting it, but once you understand it is a snap. This uses a catalytic process, it needs to heat itself up for use. Great heat producer to cook anything you could want. There is a windscreen that came with mine which is invaluable and always used. Has been folded up and unfolded many times still is in perfect shape with no cracks. The base itself is studry enough to put anything you like on top of it. I often find myself preferring to use this over my two burner colman stove. The portability is great. The stand legs swing around, everything is disassembled, and it fits in a small nylon bag maybe 8" x 4". I have cleaned it once. Used it probably 100 times.

The Texas Republic
|
This book has wonderful stories and drawings that help tell the interesting story of Texas, and the United States. The book tells many good historical events, yet it tells interesting details that most books do not talk about, or begin to say. It gives personal dialogue and insight into historical events, and persons. There are several maps, and a letter written by Sam Houston to a Caddo chief. It gives good insight to the attitude of the Red River Tribes, and insight into the amazing personality, Sam Houston. There is even a dictionary for people that do not speak "Texan." This book does what some books fail to do: it tells a logical, and understandable story from an eye-witness perspective. It was most enjoyable. I gave it as a gift to a number of friends. My personal copy has been borrowed by several persons, and it has been well read. You would like it too!

A pretty good game that will keep you busy for a few weeks
|
Killzone liberation is a very good game. It has great graphics, controls, weapons, and sound. I bought the game for about $25 from amazon and it was worth it. The problem lies with the replay value. It is very fun until you beat everything you possibly can. Multiplayer is included, but it isnt online. However, there is a patch coming out that you will be able to download from your psp. It will include a whole new chapter. (4 levels) Also, it will include an online multiplayer mode. When the online patch comes out, I will give this game a 5/5. Until then, it gets a 4/5. Good game in the end.

All colibri lighters are nice when they work
|
Colibri lighters are lovely things. The problem is that they are short lived and are produced by a crappy company. Here's why I say that. I own 3, none of which work. I just sent one back to Colibri for warranty. It came back undeliverable. The electronic phone answering service said leave a message but the mail box was full. An internet check showed the address had changed and gave a different 800 number. That number said leave a message. Good luck, nobody called back. So if you buy one of these, enjoy it while it works.

It's from Outer Space
|
E.T. is a rare gem. And one of John Williams best masterpieces. This new edition of the sountrack is really good. The only thing I miss from the new one that was on the old one is a track called "Flying".(I don't own the old one, but my parents owned a cassette of it and I use to listen to it) But other than that this one is really good. And it has some new music that was left out of the old release.The best tracks on this album are Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye, Far From Home/E.T. alone, E.T.'s Powers, The Magic of Halloween, and End Credits. Of course, all of the music is great. But that's some of the best parts of the score. Especially Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye. This is such a great cue, and if you don't know. Williams couldn't pull this cue off to fit the movie so Spielberg cut the movie to fit the music. Good job Steven. And good job Williams!This is a must have for any soundtrack fan.

Beautiful writing but not well researched
|
This book was a page turner. I enjoyed it very much. I love first person narritve because it brings me right into the story and makes the experience more intimate. This book was moving and thought provoking.The only issue I have to agree upon with the negative reviewers is that the scientific aspects of the story are very poorly researched. It is hard to ignore and that is why I didn't give 5 stars.As far as the fact that the clones accepted their fate without a fight is another problem negative reviewers pointed out. I thought that was the whole point and warning of the story. These people were raised to know what there fate was. They had no other experience. There was now big surprise or shock at the end other than the fact that there gaurdians were trying to protect them and show there humanity and failed.Otherwise I found the story beautiful and I couldn't put it down. I think it took me only 4 days to read. Enjoy.

as bad as the first review I read of it!
|
The book itself is bad. The words written in it are more than wrong, and the author never denies that HE knows nothing about her. But what made me even more angry was the reveiw by "Righteous babe" (December 2004), located on this page. She too gets the lyrics and story wrong. Anyone who owns a cd and calls themselves a fan should know the lyrics. Especially if your badmouthing someone else for not doing their research. Her quoted lyrics are from "Shameless". Anyone who has "Dilate" can go and read the correct lyrics for themselves to see that she actually sings "I gotta cover my butt, cuz I covet another mans wife." So her whole review is just as useless as the book. I guess "righteous babe" isn't so right. Back to the book though, I am glad I bought it at a used book store. It is not a window into Ani's life. I think her music is the story of her life, and will not ever be found in the pages of a book.

Really Works!
|
I have used many different products to help my weak, splitting nails - some of them also made by Sally Hansen - but this is the only one that has ever WORKED!!! I found this product about two years ago. After years of frustration with nails that split and break before they achieve any length, I tried acrylic nails. These look good for a few weeks, but they require constant maintenance, and they destroy your natural nail in the process. After getting a nail fungus from the acrylics, I swore off of those. But how to heal my destoyed nails? I saw this product at the drug store and decided it wouldn't hurt to try it. Within two days of the first use, I saw a little growth in my nails. Within two weeks I saw noticeable growth, and the nails were stronger. Now I use this product daily and my nails are long, strong and beautiful! Since the drug stores only carry this product sporadically, I buy it from Amazon. Buy it! You won't be sorry.

Love my new Kindle!
|
After talking for over a year about obtaining a Kindle, my husband purchased one for me. I absolutely love it! I often wait for the paperback version of books to come out but no more - the cost of a hardcover book allows me to purchase my favorite author's book right away. I have a 1 1/2 hour commute to work each way, so the "read to me" is wonderful! It makes my drive much more enjoyable. I have only 3 "complaints":1. It's great that the font can be changed for the books, but my sister has vision problems. She needs the menus to be changed to larger font, too. Maybe we just haven't figured out how to do that.2. The publishers who don't allow the read-to-me function are not thinking clearly. There are books that I already own that I would repurchase for my Kindle if that function was available. I won't purchase audio books because the cost is too high and they are usually abridged.3. I have to purchase one for my daughter; we share too many books for us not to both have a Kindle.

Roxio Crunch too Slow
|
This product is too slow to run on a normal PC with Windows XP. The processor usage goes to 100% or the PC crashes. I have tried several PCs with lots of memory and with no other applications running. But... still the PC crashes. I contacted Roxio tech-support. They opened a trouble ticket but then closed it without resolving the issue. Further communications to Roxio have resulted in no replies. So... do not buy this application. Go to WinX DVD and evaluate their solutions. These solutions are more reasonably priced and in fact deliver the promised features. The definition of quality is... it does what it is supposed to do. Roxio Crunch does not do... what it is supposed to do.

Lock it
|
I've read many reviews. Can't say anything about others I haven't used to compare but I love this. If you're not in a rush in setting up and using there shouldn't be any problems. Yes you could break a key if you force it or don't push it in all the way. It may be weak and could be improved but so simple when used right - and there are extra keys. Try it first and you see how solid it is. I had the hardest frame to set this on, a mountain bike frame but it can be done. I always wonder if it's the competition complaining when I read a bad review or someone that got in a hurry etc. and blames the lock. The cable is perfect, I attach to my removable seat thru removable front wheel and to the U lock and not sure what kind of cutter would get thru the cable so you decide. I don't plan to leave it overnite in a theft area. Love it.

My Second Favorite Movie Figure
|
Next to Deep Desert Brawl this is my favorite transformer in the movie line. I like that he's modeled after a real helicopter. Blackout's transformation is complicated and it takes at minimum 22 minutes to transform. There's a button that you push to make the blades spin. One thing that surprised me that he doesn't have any missles. I mean his charecter simply loves his cannons. He's also very short in robot mode. In the movie he's anything but short. I also like how his blades become a bizarre bladed weapon. The mini-scorponok doesn't transform but can be ejected just like he is in the movie. Ages 11 and up. Transformation is difficult and the worm-eaten look to his face might freak those under four years of age.

Chainfire

The latest volume of the Sword of Truth series is disappointing on several levels. First, and foremost, it is poorly written. The author has raised repetition to a new height. It seems that every character has to recount the story line at every opportunity. The story could have been told in a concise, and more entertaining fashion in a third of the page count. It would appear that Mr. Goodkind's contract is based on the number of pages he produces, not the quality of the prose. Secondly, the plot of the larger story is not advanced in this book. Since the second volume of the series the main theme has been the struggle with the Imperial Order. With this book it appears that that struggle was incosequential and the true enemy is something else. I could have hoped that the author would have finished one story, before he began another. I do not recommend purchase of this book, or its inevitable sequel.

Not too bad
|
This game is definitely addicting. The graphics and gameplay are really awesome. The most annoying parts of the game are the music, the fact that home run derby is way too easy, and that the easiest level is too easy and the hardest level is to hard. Playing the pro (middle) level is just about right. I win some games and lose some games. It's a bit hard on the pro level to strike people out, but it can be done. One truly great mode to play is human vs. human. I believe that this is the most realistic part of the game. The batting cursor can be invisible so that you really have to tell what type of pitch (fastball, curveball, etc.) it is before you can swing. It really gives the game a good, true feel to it. As said before, the announcers are sometimes inaccurate with their calls and there needs to be a dynasty-type mode, but overall I would definitely recommend this game.

And can't. Wait to use it at our Christmas party this week endSo yes I would highly reamend it this ice bucket

A Huge Fleet of Kinglon Ships De-cloaking Around DS9
|
A Deep Space Nine Movie! (90 minutes). We get Worf! And a New Series intro! Its several months later. Captain Sisko shaved his head, and is seeing Captain Yates. They're preparing for the upcoming Dominion War, and a good thing too, cause things go absolutely nuts in this episode. (and we get confirmation that Jadzia's spots go all the way down!) The end is a climax worthy of a Star Trek movie. What a season opener! I can't wait to watch the next one. 5.0/5 Stars! Must see!! ~Keep On Trekkin'

Music Is Outstanding, Quality Of CDs Is Horrid
|
Took a few weeks for me to get this set in the mail. I had already purchased and received all three of the soundtrack deluxe box sets from each movie score. The music is incredible! This particular set is crap! The first and third CDs will not play at all. The collectors cards are a joke. They are not cards at all. They are flimsy prints the size of the CD booklet. Not much you can do with them at all. Like other reviewers have stated, stay away from this set and either buy the soundtracks individually or invest in the deluxe box set versions if you can still find them. They are a bit costly, but well worth the price!

Not bad. Not great.

I've been a big Doors fan for 20+ years. I like Jim, I like the legend. This book of poetry is....ok. I'm gonna guess there's only one man who knows what the majority of these poems are about. I like poetry too, but alot of what's here seemed almost like random words thrown together. Some of it literally was. I did notice a number of times lines that ended up in Doors songs, portions of lyrics. I'll take hearing some of his poetry backed with music anyday over just reading it. I just recently heard singer Neko Case refer to Jims poetry as high schoolish. That might be a little harsh, but she's not far off. The pictures in the book we've all seen before. I did like seeing copies of his handwriting. This took me 90 minutes to get through. I'm glad I read it, but I'll stick with the American Prayer album next time.

Not worth the money
|
This item does not perform as described in several ways: First, it is not quiet. It literally sounds like a barbeque rotisserie. There's no way you would want to keep this display on in a room unless you were hearing-impaired or really like... barbequing. Second, it's flimsy and poorly constructed. The wheels that the turntable coast on are at slightly different heights, so the table tends to "flop" slightly as it rotates. It also has no door to hold the batteries in the unit's base. Third, it does not support anything close to 2 pounds. Anything over one pound taxes the motor to the point where it gets jerky. I used a 1.75lb weight to test it and it virtually grinds itself to a halt. Fourth, it turns twice as fast as described. A one pound weight turns at 4 rpm, not the 2 rpm as described. For the price, I expected a much higher-quality product. This thing would better serve as a paperweight. As long as it was turned off of course. Save your money.

The old saying goes,you get what you pay for...

I ordered this speaker system to replace a terrible pair that came with my computer. I figured anything would be better. Well,these are better sounding,but just added new problems. First off,I knew these would not be audiophile quality,but the first MP3 I put on to test them,showed the subwoofer can not handle much bass. It was popping with the volume low. Terrible. The other problem I had,is the volume control. I can deal with the stupid design,but it has a short in it,and I have to keep wiggling it to get sound from both satellites. If you are looking for just a cheap pair of speakers,these are the ones to get. For the price I paid,it is not really worth the time and effort to mail em back,etc.. I'll just have to deal with new problems after dealing with the old ones.. I'd shop around.

Please enter a title for your review
|
I liked her last album. It was like indie-folky singer-songwriter stuff. This new album totally sucks. The title track is barely even a song. It's like a kinda electroclash dance track, very percussively oriented and there's only 2 lines of lyrics, repeated incessantly. It really sucks. Lullaby For Scout In Ten Years is also more rhythmmic than melodic, and harmony isn't even considered. Most of the song is a simple bass melody, which the vocal melody follows along with note by note. It's sparse and monotonous. This song at least has lyrics though. The vocals remind me a bit of Cat Power. Then there are a couple of bursts of powerchord rock towards the end, which also follow the bass melody exactly. I guess her mission for this album was to get in touch with her primal rock self of something. It was a bad idea. The songs suck.

we r in 21st century & what we get?
|
very disappointed. we are in the 21st century. every major production companies have digitally remastered their old TV series and movies except for one studio: Paramount. seriously: Audio - Mono??? and obviously there was no digital remasterization of the picture. also there is no special feature which there is enough space on the last disc for. the "closed caption" logo is there but there is no subtitles at all. what's even worse is that these are dual-layer discs: i've seen movies on a single-layer disc that are better featured (most of the old movies now on DVD from MGM, meaning a whole movie on one side with some special features: MGM put on one side widescreen, the other side fullscreen and all remastered. well some of them). who the hell were the people in charge of this project of putting MacGyver on DVD? sure they did a damn bad job: i'd never hire anyone with "MacGyver DVD project" in his resume.

What a great scooter
|
I bought this scooter in the summer and it is great. It goes about 15 miles an hour but seams a lot faster than that. It says it only goes 8 miles but I went 12 miles on it one time and it was running fine. The manufacturer offers a six month warranty on parts, a thirty day warranty on tires, and a three month warranty on batteries. The battery takes about six hours to charge. It last a long way too. Fortunantly, there are no loose wires except on the plug and play battery pack which is only one wire. This scooter is a good deal even though it is two hundred dollars. It last a long time and can live threw all types of terrains. I am only thirteen and I love it!!! You would too. TWO THUMBS UP. Sincerely, Matt Yensan, Columbia SC

Typical 1980's teen comedy movie
|
2 of 5 stars to the 1980's typical teen comedy movie Johnny Be Good. To the movies credit, it has several young actors who turn out to be name-brand people. How about Uma Thurman? Robert Downey Jr? Anthony Michael Hall? So that was good.The plot is about a high school football star who is trying to decide which college to attend. So, we follow AM Hall as his character visits several colleges who each roll-out the red carpet with VIP perks to get him to decide in their favor. The whole thing would be OK if you can possible believe that Hall COULD be a football star. My thinking is that on his first tackle, he'd be broken-up into little parts. He simply was not believeable as a star player.So, the movie was mildly funny with the usual plot twists and gags. Nothing special to recommend this movie. As I said at the start, a typical 1980's style comedy. Oh, it had too much 1980's synthesized music--my head hurts.You can skip this one.

The Victim's Guide To Step-Monsterhood
|
You see, this is supposed to be written "with humor & grace"....instead it is written from a victims - a seemingly happy one - point of view. It is bizarre to read this and believe someone could find this amusing. That's the humor part that doesn't quite work. Grace? Forget about it. Whiny, childish, selfish, and pathetic are the words I would use. The only thing I can think of to explain this book is that many of the personal anecdotes to illustrate a point were fiction - if they are true, I'm horrified that anyone would allow themselves to be put through this just to land a man. And to experience these things - and then willingly expose them to the world.....is really inexplicable. I agree with another reviewer's point - that the observations and advice don't mesh with someone who is supposedly an overachieving popular person. Low self-esteem, perhaps? Whatever is truly backing these stories - fact or fiction - they are not graceful, nor humorous.

The Boy Who Lost His Face
|
My son loved Louis Sachar's book Holes. He really enjoyed reading it and wanted more books from that author. My husband and I bought him The Boy Who Lost His Face. When my son's teacher returned it to him because she couldn't read it to the class because of the "wording", I was concerned. Reading through the book, I am appalled at the amount of cursing and other profanities used in this book. My son is 9 and I don't encourage this kind of language. But to read some of these reviews from parents who said that this is how kids today talk, well shame on them and Louis Sachar. Using that excuse gives kids permission to continue to use that language. No wonder kids today are out of control. I suggest that if you are trying to raise children with a clean mouth and good manners, DO NOT LET THEM READ THIS BOOK!!!

Worst. storage. idea. ever.
|
The Desk Apprentice is completely ridiculous. It is huge, heavy, and extremely cumbersome. I can see how one might be fooled into thinking it would be handy to have in the center of a long conference table, but in reality no one wants a massive black box sitting in the middle of their meeting. There is no way this monstrosity is going to help out your desk situation. Its essentially four pencil holders attached to the corners of a box, and it spins. Does that sound helpful to you? It is composed of rigid plastic that will scratch your skin or snag your sweater when you try to reach a pen that happens to fall into one its deep cubby holes. When you move you will need a box JUST for this eyesore. Unsightly and inconvenient, this is just one more thing Trump has created that the world does not need! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

I'm still "moving to this" now!
|
I love the cd. Miss Dennis likes to make people move with songs like "Move to this", "c'mon & get my love", "All night long(touch me)" and "Just another dream". These songs have remained my favorite 4.When I bought it, I was crazy to pay[the price]for 10 songs, but I really wanted the disc. Only 2 days ago, did I record her music onto a mini-disc. It brings back good memories to hear her dance club hits. I'll never tire of her energy packed music and her cute British accent. "Move to this" is better than her follow up cd, "Into the skyline". Cathy Dennis won my heart then and she still wins it now.The reason why I rated the cd only 4 stars, is because I was disappointed in the sound-alike quality of the first 3 tracks. Cathy should have changed the tone of the background music, to differ the songs altogether. But then again, artists usually take a sound and stay with it for an album or two.I'll say it again. I love the cd. I think you'll appreciate it too.

Sudoku without touch screen input
|
If you've played the Sudoku included with the game "Brain Age" then you won't like this game. There is barely any input you do with the stylus on this game. What's more is that the quality of the image is also grainy. There are several themes and layouts you can choose from, however. Each theme is random and overtly colorful. The programmers didn't make good use of the screen realestate and the buttons you 'can' tap are fairly small. There is no character recognition like in Brain Age making inputting your choice a bit easier if you can aim well. I would have to agree with other reviews of this game. This game is poor. Do yourself a favor and don't buy the game. I'm still looking for a Sudoku game as good as the one in Brain age. This certainly isn't it.

The Gold Coast Cure REALLY Works!
|
Four of my friends and I ordered The Gold Coast Cure on the recommendation of a fifth friend. We couldn't put it down. We call ourselves the Gold Coast Girls! The book explains everything so simply and I have never found an eating/exercise plan so easy to follow. What I noticed first was that the water weight I carry in my hand and feet disappeared. I feel lighter and so much healthier. I retooled my pantry and my entire family jumped on board with me. The changes in our diet were really easy to make because they did not seem drastic. The kids love the soy nuggets. I can't believe such simple changes in my diet made such a difference in how I feel every day. I have so much more energy. It feels good to feel good!

Still Raining, I think
|
My sister had always told me to buy recordings that had the DDD rating or at least ADD. It had to do with sound quality, she said. This is the first audio CD I've bought without the the ratings, and now I know why she told me never to buy an urated CD. On this CD, I hear a constant Pshhhhhh, as if the rain were still pounding upon the aluminum patio roof, in the background of every recording. With other types of music, it might be tolerable. However, with The Gymnopedie and Gnossienne, I find this poor qualitiy recording compeletely unacceptable. In addition, and this is only my preference, I feel the two aforementioned works should be played rather slowly, and the way Pascal Roge interprets the music is not to my taste. I think he simply plays too fast. I much prefer Jean-Yves Thibaudet's interpretation of Satie's works. I don't know what to do with this CD. I certainly won't be listening to it again.

You've got to be kidding me
|
I cannot believe all these 5 star ratings. You have got to be kidding me. And the slams of those who rated it 1 star. I'm not stupid, I have a master's degree, intelligent and an avid reader of GOOD literature. This has got to be the most boring book I've ever tried to read. I have to read this book as a Battle of the Books coach. I finally quit half-way and relied on Cliff notes for practice questions. I never quit a book half-way. I'm not even going to make my students read this incredibly horrid book. I'm still just not getting all of the hundreds of 5 star reviews. What? What? What???

best $100 spent
|
After reading several reviews and needing to paint my house, I took a chance on this as I haven't had much luck with "reconditioned" equipment. The sprayer arrived in a new box and with new hose and instructions along with other parts on it that looked like replacements. This piece worked far better than expected with absolutely no trouble. Had my 2500 sq. ft. home and shed exterior painted with 2 coats in 6 hours. Easy to follow instructions. Easy to carry/well balanced even when full of paint. Accurate spray line. As noted in other reviews I bought a straight swivel connector and can't imagine using the sprayer w/out it. As with any painting equipment, cleanup is somewhat tedious but not as bad as I expected considering some reviews. Best $100 I've spent in a long time.

gentle means of stretching the neck and back
|
I'm 5'5" and don't have a particularly long (or short) torso, and the size works ok for me. I'm using this as part of my regimen to rehabilitate my back. You start out resting on this for 5 minutes, then increase by a minute a day until you get to 20 - 30 minutes. This is what the instructions say, which differs from the add that says 15-20 minutes. I like that this gently stretches the spine and neck. I think it could be cheaper for what you get, it's basically just a foam piece with a fabric cover. You are supposed to relax on it, not multi-task by watching TV at the same time. The instructions also say that it's not designed to sleep on. My experience is that it's not particularly comfortable, but this is to be expected because stretching in general isn't all that comfortable. It does get more comfortable with continued use. This seems to suggest that it does make the spine more limber.

Confusing yourself with more than 1 Mouse or Keyboard?
|
I know I used to use 2 mouses and Keyboards sharing 1 Monitor. If you are one of the serious "Joes" who has more than 1 Computer system, and has one of those old switch boxes for your keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Check this item out for grabs.The "Linksys ProConnect 2-Port Compact KVM Switch Kit", a 2 port sharing interface with cables included. Yup, I sure did say "cables included". The truth to make things much simpler, it has support for your PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard, which means you don't lose power and control between switch overs.And don't need to reach over to the switch to make it work, that's right! It has a hot key function, "LCtrl" x2. That's it! You can even put the box hidden or on top of 1 the Systems. Who cares! You'll never see it again once you've installed it. Pretty Cool huh!This product package with "Ingenius" written all over it is a STEAL!

Didn't taste bad
|
I am trying to stop biting the skin around my finger nails. I rip them apart on a daily basis until I am bleeding. I got this to try to stop and it worked for the first day or so because I was afraid of tasting the stuff. Then I caught a finger in my mouth and... there wasn't much of a taste that bothered me. This did NOT work for me. I noticed on another review here someone mentioned some stuff called "Mavala Stop" and that apparently that worked for them. So I went to that and bought it. As I waited the few days for it to arrive I continued ripping my fingers apart as usual, then it arrived today. I put it on, and within about two hours caught myself licking my finger after eating something delicious. That stuff tastes NASTY!!!!!! I had to run and get orange juice to wash the horrid taste away. I definitely recomment Mavala Stop!!!!Mavala Stop, 0.3-Fluid Ounce

Dont hesitate to buy this game if you are a pool game! You can face up to 64 apponents, there are about 8 different kinds of game maches you can play! You can play with 64 different computerized players of different leves or with a friend, no GBC link needed, you just swich of the GBC and play! Also, a big part of the game is hustling, playing for money! When you get good enough, you can play for ownership of the pool hall! Sounds good so far? U've bet! Hope this review helps! p.s. dont hesitate bying this game because there aren't many reviews, it's a good one, trust me!

Great for learning to walk
|
Our baby LOVES this toy! She has enjoyed playing with it since she was just sitting up and could only play with the front panel. It is a bit tipsy though, so we would have to hold on to the back so she wouldn't pull it down on top of herself. As she learned to walk she would push it all over the house. Now, at a year, she still loves this toy and will even push it from the front. Best toy ever. Warning to parents sensitive to obnoxious toy music: this thing plays on and on and on... just when you think it stops, it will start singing again. There is your fair warning. BUT the kid loves it, so we put up with it. Her favorite is the little door that opens and closes on the front, and the phone. It would be better if the phone was attached by a string of some kind, but somehow we haven't lost it yet.

Less Inside, Less Grand
|
I love Grand Central Terminal. I love National Geographic. I did not love this documentary. It is not up to the standards of either GCT or NG. Although the cinematography was wonderful, the writing was terrible. Transitions were abrupt and nonsensical. The attempt to combine a chronological structure with a topical one, made the end result choppy. The reuse and over use of the same footage got to be annoying. I thought I was going to get an inside view, and although there was some behind the scenes footage, it wasn't enough to justify the title. It would have been better to have stuck with a true behnd the scenes look at the current Grand Central, and forget the history. Or, conversely, give the history and forget the behind the scenes. And hire a better writer!

not honest
|
I do not enjoy this cd. I find it flat and boring. This cd is not an honest attempt on the part of the writer to give homage to his influences (The Beatles) or to incorporate his influences (The Beatles) into his own voice. This is not the writer's own voice. This is John Lennon's voice; this is Paul McCartney's voice. It's unfortunate. The cd is boring because the songs are beyond derivative. You can listen to each song and hear the Beatle's song it came from. The writer is obviously technically talented and has a good ear for texture; however, he is hiding his expression behind this form. I would very much like to hear this band again in a few years to see if the writer has become more vulnerable and honest. It is very scary to show yourself through your music, but unless you do your work is boring.

My first and LAST Nevada Barr book
|
This is the first Nevada Barr book I've read and I do not plan to read any more. Some of the other reviewers complained that the tale is too dark. I can deal with that. Unfortunately, the topics the author touched on are not foreign in the real world. However, what displeased me about the book is that I never felt a strong connection to any of the characters. I never felt drawn in by the writing. When I read what I consider to be a good book, I am able to experience the different emotions as they're conveyed in the story. I also have a hard time putting it down. With this book, it got to a point where I only continued reading because I'd already invested time into it -- not because I was really enjoying it.When I read a description of the story I was anxious to get my hands on it. What a disappointment! Maybe I should have picked a different Nevada Barr book to start with.

Awsome !
|
At first impression,this seemed like a cheaply built toy that wouldn't last very long and would be a waste of money. I couldn't have been more wrong. This little gem really flies great,and after a little bit of practice,you can make this thing do everything that it promises and more. I have owned several of these types of indoor helis. The first one cost me over $200.00 and was almost impossible to fly. I was amazed at how easy this heli was to learn how to fly,and how stable and solid it is. Yes,you will hit a few walls,crash to the floor,and in my case,get tangled up in a few hanging plants,while learning to fly this thing,but it can take it. I have crashed this thing 20 or so times and it has no signs of cosmetic or mechanical damage whatsoever. Still looks and flies like brand new. The box says "Ages 8 and Up".... LOL.... I am in my 40's and I love this little heli.

BE VERY CAREFUL
|
Be careful. I've spent 4 hours in 'live chat' with their technical support to make this thing work. And it won't do what I need it to do. First, be careful -- it must be plugged directly into the wall socket(it won't work plugged into a power strip) and it needs a main USB port in the back of your computer unit (front, side, or alternate USB ports won't work -- less power to alternate USB ports they said). And you have to download a 'PRO' version of the software hidden on their website in order to back-up your entire computer system. Be careful of folders within folders. Selecting individual files is very cumbersome and doesn't always capture the folders within folders. And, if you need to back-up another computer across a network -- this won't do it. According to Iomega tech support, Iomega doesn't have any product that backs up another computer over a network. Be careful. This is accurate -- but other printed things by Iomega don't pan out.

STUNNING REMAKE OF "THE WAGES OF FEAR" BADLY FORMATTED
|
DVD COMMENT BY GANGARUNNER: One of the most intensely realistic thrillers ever made and William Friedkin's greastest work. Also the greatest REMAKE ever made. But is it formatted in WIDESCREEN with extras and maybe COMMENTARY? Heck no, it's FULLSCREEN with no extras. This movie would get 5 STARS but I give 1 STAR to the STUDIO for releasing this MASTERPIECE in FULLSCREEN. If ever a film begged to be LETTERBOXED, it's this one. I know this film did not do well in it's initial release, but it's obviously a CULT CLASSIC, now. I guess Friedkin is too busy doing another EXORCIST REISSUE- THE VERSION YOU HAVEN"T PAID FOR YET. What a crime.Maybe Criterion will redo this the way it should have been done. Don't fail to check out their version of the original classic, THE WAGES OF FEAR. A WORD OF WARNING-it's in French.

Just Awful
|
How sad. Frankly, despite Houston's personal problems, I was quite shocked when I listened to this CD. Whitney's voice is just a shadow of what it used to be. The power and conviction she once possessed are gone. On this very short set, Houston delivers one disappointing performance after another, the worst being the dreadful "Whatchalookinat". L.A. Reid approved a $100 million dollar contract for her to churn out a piece of crap album like this? No wonder Mr. Reid was recently booted out of Arista. "Just Whitney" has turned out to be the troubled singer's worst selling album to date. And with good reason. Hopefully, Houston will put the pieces of her life back together before she records another album. "Just Whitney" is shear torture to listen to and she should not subject the public to another project like this one.

Inaccuracy makes it useless
|
Gun looks awesome. Lots of cool accessories. Laser is great. But unfortunately it is so Godawful inaccurate that the gun is useless. If you hold the rifle in one spot and shoot full auto, the BBs go in all different directions. On Semi it's a little better, but you can rarely hit the same spot twice. Also the battery charger has no instructions, so I had no idea when the battery was fully charged. I just waited until they got warm. I bought my kids some good Combat Machine M16 Carbines. They are way more expensive with no accessories, but they are more powerful, hold way more ammo and shoot dead-on accurate. Spend the money and get a good gun. Don't buy this one.

A review for the non-golfer
|
I have never stepped foot on a golf course. I couldn't tell you all the rules and I don't watch it on TV. Why did I rent this game? I read some positive reviews and I figured this game could be played over and over without getting boring.It's all true. The game is very addicting. I am essentially learning this game but I love the fact that I didn't beat the game in one day. That's always the best part of any game. Can you come back and play it again 6 months later and be interested? This game has great re-play value. It seems pretty straight-forward to learn the controls. Putting is a bit of a mystery to me as I can never seem to get long putts to drop.All in all, if you non-golfers want to play something fun a different, this is a very good game.

My Katie.com review
|
Katie.com was a great book. I liked it because it explained so much of how her life was when this tragedy happened. This book is about a girl, Katherine Tarbox, who has just a regular everyday life. But, when her sister comes over, she brings her laptop along with her. Since Katie didn't have a computer, she explored the Internet. Then she finds a chat room and she starts looking for someone just like her. When Katie does finally meet "The Guy," she keeps it a secret. Mark, `The Guy," desperately wants to meet her and visa versa. They finally meet at her swim meet and she goes to his hotel room. When they meet face-to-face it's really not what she expects. It is a very surprising book. I think that anyone, boy or girl, should read this book.

Company of Zeros The Shame of The Year.
|
This Game does not diserve game of the year. Plus don't believe these other reviews. I am so tired of game develpers writing reviews for there own game. You are being betrayed. Relic is paying off to there horrible games to have game of the year. They all should be Shame of the Year because they ar BOOOOOOORING.Factions: Only 2 boring factions that have a lack of units. Plus They both look exactly the same.Insane Profanity: They always say the F word and it is so annoying. They will just not stop swearing.Zoom Feature: Sure there is a Zoom Feature. Which is the ONLY Reason why this game got game of the year. Because they have a pretty little zooming feature which you rarly use and is distracting in battle. That is why Dawn of war and Homeworld got game of the year.I liked the covering feaure but this game just isn't fun or creative. I would go with Command and Conquer 3 if you Want FUN and CREATIVITY!

Wild glory is not the half of it!
|
Glory Warren was to wild for Puritan ways. She had a heart that demands to be free. Quade Wylde was like her knight in shining armor. The Reverend Josiah was evil incarnate. The suspense nearly killed me. I held my breathe most of the way through. I think Sarah and Josiah deserved each other and everything that they got. Although I did feel a little sorry for Sarah but not much. I think this book ended great. I was tempted to flip to the back just to make sure everything turned out ok. I knew that Glory would be accused of practicing witchcraft. I didn't think it would end like it did though. The characters and the plot were superb!

Much stronger than it looks
|
For those that don't know this a glass filled material which means it is very strong and light. Much stronger than the original wood stock the Mosin comes with. More than likely you will have to fit it to your weapon because there is a lot of variance in these rifles. Mine was about 90% fitted and about 2 hours of very careful sanding brought the rest together. But that is to be expected. If you find that your rifle drops right in without any mods then you are the exception not the rule. But that's part of the fun. I purchased this stock, a bent bolt, and scope mount and I'm still spending less and getting more rifle than on more modern rifles. Will you the wings off of flies at 2,000 yards with this setup? Most certainly not but for less than $300 you can have a rifle that can hunt anything in North American. Not a bad deal.

Loaded with inaccuracies
|
I bought this book as a gift for my sister. We are both filipinas raised in the US and are deeply fond of our ethnic cuisine. As such, we were excited to try recipes in the book. We tried the chicken siopao recipe first. It was a disaster. The dough did not rise despite the fresh yeast. After the addition of the flour the dough was hard and unworkable. The seasonings for the chicken were too conservative. The filling should be slightly sweet. We had to doctor it up quite a bit.The Kutsinta recipe was a complete failure. It turned out thick and cakey rather than transulcent and gelatinous. It was also much too sweet.I would not recommend this book to any native filipino. If you are accustomed to the taste of the filipino cuisine, you will appreciate the deficiencies in the book.

The beginning of the end......
|
This is definitely the album that puts this band on the downward spiral. Remember when bands like Obituary did 2 great album, but then by their 3rd it was clear it was over? This is the case with Exhumed. Basically, this band is now trying to take themselves "serious" as musicians and that's not the point of this style of metal. Also, getting some hyped up "producer" does nothing for this band. Whatever happened to death metal bands wanting to play raw, dark, and ugly sounding music? Like Autopsy, early-Carcass, Impetigo, etc.? Does Exhumed think they are impressing people with a clean and totally digital sound? I'm embarassed to have ever been a fan of this band after this atrocity. Latest on the band is that they now only have 1 original member left. That's another sign it's over for this band...

Save your Money!
|
I apologize for being so honest, however, this c.d. isn't worth much. Even at .75 cents, you'd be waisting your money. Unless, that is, you don't have some of the tracks on this disc. This is an old c.d., so the tracks are older. Some of the tracks are o.k., if you don't own them already.The second c.d. has the same tracks that are on the first c.d. but they're remixed by Paul. Some of these mixes are good, however, I still wouldn't waist your money. Buy one of his other c.d.s instead. Paul actually is an outstanding d.j.. I've seen him in Los Angeles several times. However, this c.d. is a waist of time listening and money on shipping. Considering that I paid .01 cent on Amazon for these c.d.s, I still paid too much. Sorry Paul, it's o.k. though, this is an old c.d. and one of his first c.d.s made. Thanks for reading! See my other reviews for great c.d.s.

Worthless

Begin by trying to jam this item into your ear so that it might have a chance of staying in. It won't. (The ear loop, which isn't adjustable, certainly doesn't fit my ear.) While you are trying, there will be no way to avoid hitting the multi-function button, so you will be incessantly pestered to "please say a command". Unfortunately, "stay in my ear" is not one of them. Neither are "off", "no command", "shut up", or anything else that might indicate "oops, I didn't mean to say a command". So she keeps pestering. If you do manage to get the bud to stay in your ear for a second, get ready to blow your ear out while dialing. (I have my keypad volume and the volume on the headset both as low as they can go, but it still hurts my ears.) Once the other end begins ringing, the headset will soon be sliding out. When you go to push it back in, you will, of course, hit the MF button again, hanging up your call. Complete waste of money.
