Sepia, We Love You
Yes indeedy, A. Your eyes deceiveth you not. The Sea Hawk has the Panama section of the film tinted in glorious sepia.Which leads me to a couple of points. Warners toyed with the idea of making this epic in Technicolor. You look at the sets, you can sort of see they were leaning that way. In the end, frugality prevailed, and the suits decided to save themselves half a mil and shoot in black and white.And you know something? I'm glad they did. If you want to see what TSH would have looked like in color, go watch "Elizabeth and Essex." That flick was shot eight months earlier. Same palace sets, similar costumes, all in robust technicolor. The art direction is wonderful, but I don't think it's better than the achievement displayed in "The Sea Hawk." It's simply different.You want a pirate picture in color from this time frame, go watch "The Black Swan." Me, I'll take Curtiz and Flynn over King and Power any day of the week.

Poor Sound
2pac's production perfection is one of the many attributes which helped establish his sound and respect. He surely wouldn't have approved of this novice sounding recording. It is impossible to judge the concert from a crowds perspective,purely because of the rubbish recording. Was 2pac on fire? who knows. The backing vocals and beats are higher on the mix than 2pac himself. He sounds like he's in the bathroom backstage. Deathrow had to be aware of the poor recording and still decided to release. Why?. For the money?. Even so why not release something more professional, it must exist. This is a amateur sounding release expected from a crowd recorded bootleg. Unless you are a hardcore 2pac fan looking for some kind of artifact rather than a pleasurable listening experience, hold on to your money.

where is the extended?
I like so many others saw "ultimate edition" and having bought the first two expected the extended edition of 3 and 4. Well dummy me for thinking that way. if you have already purchased these movies on Blu ray don't bother with the same movie again. There is no extended version in these sets. I was hoping that 4 would finally make sense but alas I am left with the travisty that was Mike Newels vision. It is sad that Warner Brothers let us down. They, and Amazon, should do the right thing and send us all the extended editions like we all expected. I have read several reviews that noted an advertisement stating all ultimate editions would be extended. If this is true someone please post that ad. We can get Warner brothers for false advertising. Come on Warners and Amazon. Do the right thing for the fans.

Almost useless
I've tried to used this to look stuff up while learning Emacs, and it is not useful to me. I have two main objections: 1. It is not organized in a way that makes it easy to look things up. There have been times when I knew the information was in the book (since I had seen it before), but had to just flip through every page to actually find it. 2. It's very incomplete. I cannot find a command in this book that takes me to a given line in a file. I suspect the book fails because he tries to cover everything. I do not expect a pocket reference to cover some nonstandard HTML mode, or how to use Emacs as my mail reader. I want a reference on how to use it to edit text and code. I probably won't open this book again; I'll just bookmark the online manual.

Ideal for a breastfeeding mom
I adore this system. My son only gets breastmilk, and the system works great for bottling/storing/serving breastmilk. In conjunction with the breast milk storage kit, I am able to express milk directly into a bottle. I then twist on a lid and put it in the freezer or fridge. When the milk freezes solid, I am able to remove the liner and lid from the bottle. This takes less freezer space and means I don't have to buy that many actual bottles.I will have to keep buying liners, of course. But the cost isn't prohibitive. And I did have to buy several storage systems, but compared to paying for formula, I find this cost unimportant. Particularly because I will be able to use the system again for our next child.It is a tidy, easy system that works great for me and for my son. He has no problem taking the silicone nipple in spite of the fact that he prefers the breast. He IS slower about taking the bottle, but he takes it fine nonetheless.

Not good.
I bought this vacuum about 1 year ago. I've had nothing but trouble with it! I took it to a warrantee dealer a few months back because the red warning light stayed on all the time. It took them 4 weeks to find a bad integrated circuit. They replaced the IC, returned it and two days later the light came back on, to stay!(All filters are clean and always maintained.) About a week ago, the machine is now 13 months old, I tried turning off the machine with the on/off switch. No dice. The machine stays on as long as plugged into AC. I tried moving the on/off switch back and forth several times and the vacuum still stays on! The only plus is that it does a fairly good job of vacuuming.

A beautiful album, but too similar to AIR for 5 Stars
I first heard of Zero 7 when I saw their video, "Destiny." I have to admit that they first time I saw it I immediately thought that it was a new AIR song, so I was surprised to see a different name at the end. I just bought this album two days ago and don't regret it. I will say that they are HEAVILY influenced by AIR, which is a fabulous electronic band from France. Zero 7 almost sounds TOO much like them, which is why I couldn't give this album 5 stars. However, their sound is different because of the volcalists. There is a male vocalist as well as Sia for many of the songs. Sia has an angelic yet haunting voice that adds to the mellow and hypnotic sounds of "Destiny" and others. Electronic music is such a general term, since there are so many genres within it. I would recommend this album to anyone who has enjoyed AIR's Moon Safari. (although I still believe that Moon Safari is much more innovative and original than Simple Things).

Sunshine that will open your heart!
This is one of those CDs that you can just listen to again and again whenever you need that extra lift or pep talk. You can just lie back and drift off or you can listen to the words closely, either works! I love Story's voice on this. It is so resonant and carries so much energy that is beyond the words. The cover image really expresses the energy of what the CD contains. It will uplift you to the realization of the love and perfection that surrounds you.The words speak straight to your heart and I think that is the power of it. If you want the ideology then get 'You Are God. Get Over It!', if you want daily reminders then get 'The Messiah Seed', if you want your heart opened a little more with every listen then this is the CD for you. The choice is yours but I highly recommend letting this sunshine into your heart! :)

Add another one not working!
Bought this a few weeks ago locally. Used it once and worked beautifully. Loved it. Later the same day (4-5 hours later) turned it on to cook more fritters. Nothing. Nada...zip... My husband checked everything with a volt tester. Cord was fine. Problem was with the machine. Wish I had read the reviews on here first. What a joke. Taking it back today.

Nice little remote- if it worked
It's simple to use. I have a Canon Rebel T1i. You simply set your camera drive mode to "Self Timer/Remote Control", set the RC1 switch to on, and push the button to take your picture. Form factor is fine, comes with a little holder that allows you to keep the remote attached to your camera strap, bag, etc. (Which is good- it's small so could easily be lost/misplaced.)The problem: Mine doesn't work. Never did. Unfortunately, I didn't figure that out until after Amazon's return grace period. (I just didn't need it for a few weeks.) So I had to go to Canon for support. They had me test it to prove to them that it didn't work. Now I'm sending it off (I'm paying for shipping) to Canon to see if they can "service" it. Had I done something to it, I'd be fine with this. But since it never worked in the first place, I'm quite disappointed with the quality of the product, if not the quality control process at Canon.

Setzer Makes Christmas Fun Again!
I've had this cd since it was first released and I never tire of listening. I can't wait to bring it out and pop into my cd player every season. This is not your run of the mill "Chestnuts Roasting" holiday collection. Setzer starts fast and never lets up. "Jingle Bells", "Boogie Woogie Santa", and "Winter Wonderland" sizzle with great big band swing arrangements, of which Setzer is a master. "Blue Christmas" is basic rockabilly at it's best. In "Santa Claus is Back in Town" the guitar slinger shows his blues side; it's raw and powerful. "Baby it"s Cold Outside" with Ann-Margret is so hot, you might need to go roll in the snow afterwards. More fun follows with "The Nutcracker", "Man with the Bag", and "Sleigh Ride". "So They Say it's Christmas" (the only Setzer composition on this cd) and "O Holy Night" will not disappoint. Buy this and, like a kid, start counting the days 'til December.

Best controller ever - Whats to talk about?
Well duh, it's the original 360 controller. Everyone loves this thing almost as much as we all love our 360s. OMG, it is SO intuitive and just fits perfectly in your hand... and THIS one is even BLACK. How could it possibly get any better?It's also super durable. I can't tell you how many times I've slammed mine against the wall in a fit of rage after dying in-game. You all KNOW what I'm talking about :-)I just walk over, pick it up and start playing again. It's like the controller doesn't even recognize I just abused the hell out of it.Is it even possible to break an Xbox controller? Other than nuclear warfare I don't see any way to break this thing.I don't usually allow Sony products in my house, although I did buy a Black Friday Sony Big Screen HD TV for my Xbox. Hey it was SUPER cheap! BUT... I hear their PS3 has a big fat ANNOYING controller... Is that the reason we even bother to review something as stellar as the near-perfect Xbox 360 controller?

A TRUE LOVE STORY
This will always be one of my favorites! I have never said "raspberry" without "drawing" it out as the English do since I saw this movie. You can't review this movie . . . you simply must "live it" as you watch it. Anne Bancroft's best and Anthony Hopkin's close second to Shadowlands. An incredible book lover story! When you hold a first edition hereafter, you will treasure it as Anne Bancroft did. You will raise it to your lips and kiss it; you will smell and caress the leather . . . and, when you go to England, you will look for the store. This will be a favorite for your lifetime.

They try too hard!
The acoustic CD is wonderful. Adam is nice and quiet and puts some variety to his songs. Mr. Jones acoustic is one of the coolest songs I've ever heard. But their live concert CD is horrible. Adam trys too hard to make his songs sound new and original. It comes off as annoying. They sound better on an album. Adam up tight during the concert and ends up ruining some of his best songs. For example, "Murder of One" was changed from a slow quiet song to a loud obnoxious song in which Adam keeps yelling, "Get the hell up!" They've proved that they're just another stupid band without brains unlike DMB or Blues Traveler. I've lost all respect.

Pure Drivel.....
I hated this book!! Having read (and enjoyed) the authors first book, I had great expectations for this one. The plot (albeit typical chick lit) seemed good but that is where the good ended. I hated the fact that the main character was named "Girl" and that the main male characters in the book were named "Buster" and "Guy". Please! It's no wonder young women today have identity issues. Now, I understand why the character had no real name - I realize that the authors wanted women to identify with her - to show her as an "every woman" but it was just awful. Girl was a very weak character. She can't stand up to anyone really and waffles around life. Her 14 year old brother Jack had more oopmh to him! I just didn't get where this story was going so I jumped book about 80 pages or so in. I wouldn't recommend it as even a library read. Save your time, money, and fuel by not even making an effort to read it. If I could give it no stars then I would.

Does not hold up for the price
We bought the 2007 model and within a week it had a hole in the seam so the company where we bought it replaced it. We used it about twice a month for our grandchildren- so it got little time in the sun and was not ever put away wet. We used it two summers. At the end of the second summer it began to leak air from all the seams. This unit was never abused - only two kids at a time and they were under 6 years of age. Now, at the beginning of the 3rd summer - it is unusable!!! I notice this current model says "2009 Model" - not sure what that means but - hopefully it has better UV protection. We paid almost $600 for this slide and it should last longer than a few months for two summers. The ad mentions "years of family fun" - that's NOT true. Something that costs this much money should last longer than a few months. I'm planning to buy another model from the 2009 collection. If I have the same problem - it will be my last Banzai product - EVER!

Okay for First-Timers
My daughter is 8 and received this for her birthday. It works well and is serving its purpose. It's lightweight and easy enough to thread on top. I have three critiques:1. The bobbin is a little bit tricky for her to master. It's in a metal case at the bottom of the machine...it is much more challenging than my BIG brother machine. She needs help with that part every time.2. The dial to choose the stitch type is difficult to use. It's big and thick and it's hard to tell where it's pointing (there's no little arrow to point at the number so you're sure about what you're choosing).3. My BIGGEST complaint: the machine doesn't move slowly. It's difficult to master the pedal on a sewing machine anyhow...to get the feel of it and learn to maintain a constant speed. This machine doesn't go SLOW. It's WAY too fast, and it's tricky to get it to slow down (even for me, a more experienced sewer).

great mouse
I read several reviews that gave a poor rating to this mouse but I had no problems. I am using it with a Toshiba Laptop and a Zoom PCMCIA Bluetooth adapter. I turned on the mouse told the bluetooth software to make connection and it was there. The mouse has worked flawlessly from that moment on. I did not install the Logitech software that came with the mouse. Didn't need or want it. The only thing that I could possibly complain about is the size. Like all of these portable mice it is a little smaller than your typical desktop mouse. For those with smaller hands this is not a problem. For my big hands I find it to be "not exactly comfortable but not exactly uncomfortable either" but it was better than some of the other notebook mice I tried. Good job Logitech. I just wish you had a V270+1" for my big hands.

The Upside-Downside Black Martini
Hey Chill Music fans! Here's the deal-ee-o on Black Martini. In my humble opinion Black Martini has some great music as long as you play it on your cd player. HOWEVER, Should you slip it into your computer for a quick play the so-called "Enhanced" software will grab your computer by the throat and force you to look at the Draconian Vodka commercials on the disc. Talk about ruthless and crass advertising....AND ...they have the nerve to sell this cd for $17.98 on Amazon!! It's Nutz! I got mine "used" for a couple of bucks and really love the music, but will never slap it into my computer again. It simply feels like a nasty Virus taking control.

Who let the STINK OUT!!!
We bought the Diaper Champ to start with because of the every day trash bags you can use, the holding capicity, ease of use, etc, etc. Boy were we suckered. We have been using this product for 7 and a half months, and that has been about 3 to 4 months to LONG!!! As soon as my daughter started solids, the smell has been slowly creeping up a little bit more every day. Now that thing is stinking the whole house up. It has no odor control at all. I will say it worked great for a breastfeed baby. Unless you plan to feed him or her forever off you. Plan on buying a 2nd system down the road to replace this one. I'd say look for something else! if you want a one and only investment!

Very happy of my order
I am very satisfied with this order and happy about the order. It's a good product, and the seller shipped it to me as quickly as promissed and with a internet tracking #. One small point the seller may consider. I actually ordered this item twice. First time everything is perfect. The second time, maybe because of large quantity (20 bottles), the outside paking box is some kind damaged. Fortunately the inside product is OK. I believe if the product continues travelling farther, some of the inside bottles may be lost. I ordered this product for one of my relatives in China. I think I made a wise decision not to let the seller ship directly to China. Of course another reason for me to choose ship internationally myself is I have more choice of shipping method. The seller only provided international shipping by USPS air which cost much more than USPS surface shipping (by sea).

Resolved--Buy It, Show It To Your Kids
This documentary is fun, educational, and provides great inspiration for any kid. It showed at the L.A. Film Festival and generated amazing buzz. Everyone I talked to loved it. Of course cable picked it up. Now, not surprisingly, it gets two Emmy nominations. I thought New York Doll was amazing. Resolved--Wow! One Potato Productions scores again. As a lawyer, I recommend this to any aspiring law student (or otherwise) who plans on a career where he or she will have to think and speak on his or her feet. As a partent, I recommend this to everyone who wants to teach their kids about hard work, commitment, and being engaged in life. The fact that a U.S. Supreme Court Justice participated and appeared in this production speaks volumes about the important lessons that can be learned from this film. Kudos to Whitely and One Potato.

Ordered a baby gate and recieved a backpack?
I cant comment on if this gate is great or not because I received a backpack instead. Why? I have no clue. Amazon was less than helpful. I had to box it back up and take it to the post office, they would not send me a call tag. Also if the backpack that I didnt order wasnt back in their office in 30 days they would charge me for both the baby gate that I hadnt recieved and the backpack that I never wanted? Doesnt seem fair to me. So needless to say that backpack was out of my home the next day. I didnt want to worry about getting a second backpack so I had them refund my credit card. I still cant see how the 2 could be confused. Very unhappy customer. Good luck everyone

How can this happen?
The question is, How can this happen? 8 years to release this masterpiece. The only thing this tells you is that the music industry sucks! Here we have a great, fantastic record. This record had to wait 8 years from its recording to be released Iommi and Hughes at their best doing this heavy metal hard rock funky blues stuff. The perfect sequel to Seventh Star. You can tell this is an unfished job because it only last 38 minuts, but leave it there. These are 38 minutes of the best they can offer. I hobe they keep on working together because this is music with out labels, the music we the music lovers need. I will not comment about the music itself because thats for you to digest. Just buy this Cd, and if you like Seventh Star, Sabbath, Hughes, Purple, Bolin, ... you will love this album.

The Title is completely misleading
I purchased this expecting to get all 40 seasons of Sesame Street. What I got instead were just hilites and snippets of various seasons, like a highlight video. So buyer beware, this title is very misleading. It should say "portions of 40 years of sunny days" or "a few sunny days over the last 40 years of our show" or something to that effect. I got all my larnin' from watching Sesame Street as a kid. So that is why I am a careful reader and notice things like this. I am sure Bob and Cookie Monster and Maria etc would agree with me. Which reminds me, in retrospect, I think my first sexual attraction was to Maria on those shows. Yes, I was a randy kindergartner. Its too bad they never did a show in the nude or maybe even an x rated version of Sesame Street. Think of the possibilities! It would have been a huge seller.

Hate to exercise, but love this video!
Must admit I am not an exerciser by trade, but came across this video nearly a decade ago after giving birth to my first child. Started using the video every day and found that I liked it -- a lot. When I went on vacation, I would even take a mini-cassette recorder and just record the instructor's voice and still be able to do the exercises while on vacation. That's how simple it is. I stopped using it several years ago, but it still lingered in my mind as one of my favorites. The warm-up I would use prior to going to the gym. Well, my daughters ran across the tape one day and got together in their video room to do the exercises. The next session, they asked me to join them. Once again, I am hooked on it. It's quick, effective and easy. And with my pudgy belly, it won't hurt a thing.

Hello? Anyone in there?
This is a movie about a few idiots who are wrapped up in some god aweful situation making for one god aweful movie. What happened to morality and pride in women? This is a sad revelation. I think this movie promotes a lifestyle that I would hate for any of my children to grow up to become. And Dianne Keaton definetly has to grow up. Her days of Annie Hall were great, but very much over. It's time to mature and become a distinguished actress. Maybe I'm wrong? I have no idea. But this was definitly a walk out. One's sex life is nobody's business but their own and this movie was just pretty disgusting. It's like they TRY to shock the people in the audience as opposed to writing material that will sincerely make someone laugh by using satire. Anyone could say "orgasm" and get a laugh because it's so rediculous. How abbout trying to write some good satire instead of going for shock value. All I saw was a bunch of air-head bimbo women trying to make a movie. Grow up all ready.

Come on Guys
This is a New York band? I thought New York had edge. Come on guys, get out there and live a little. What are you, holed up in some foofoo penthouse living it up or something? Girls and parties? Go to Harlem, go to the meat packing district - go somewhere and find yourselves some inspiration. God - is this CD bland or what?I live in New York and there are a lot of new bands with a point of view. There are a lot of bands trying to DO SOMETHING NEW. Not these bums. And some of those bands went to prep schools that are even hoity-toitier than the ones these jokers went to, so that ain't the reason. There's one decent song here and all I can say about it is that its fun. Jiminy Chrikit, if I want fun I'll listen to some pederast LA ska band!!If I wasn't going to return this CD I'd throw eggs at it!

A real bargain
These phones are really a bargain. They sound quite good - a bit hot in the treble area, but that's a plus for these ears that have lost a bit on top. The fit is snug but comfortable for my average size head. They might be a bit tight for someone requiring a large hat! They were easy to set up with my iphone. Pairing was easy. I noticed a few complaints in that area. The trick is to open the settings and have the bluetooth preference showing when you pair. Not as slick as some devices, but not that big a deal. While not audiophile, they sound a hell of a lot better than a couple of $100, in-ear units that I have. The only disappointment is that I couldn't get them working as plain vanilla wireless phones with my laptop. I succeeded in pairing them but was not able to hear audio from a CD or DVD. I'm not sure if they should work in that mode and the bare-bone instructions aren't much help. But for $35.00 it's pretty hard to fault them.

100 Amazingly BAD Science Fair Projects
Two of my children decided to use this book for their science fair projects. Both ran into problem after problem with the description of how the project was supposed to work and how it actually worked. The execution of one (building bridges) required an enormous amount of precision. Perhaps a high schooler could attempt it. It would have helped to rank the projects as easy, medium or difficult but there is no indication. The second project, building a stereoscopic 3-D viewer was even worse. It was completely wrong and didn't have the desired 3-D effect at all. It was as if both of these "experiments" were written without them ever being attempted by a child of any age!! The editor of this book should have attempted some of them for him or herself. I think then, the book would never have been published! Our copy is going in the trash.

How con you possibly rate this 4 stars?
Okay I might not really give it a 1 if everyone else hadn't given it 4 stars. This DVD pales in comparison to the other two sets of the series. Genious? That word no longer has any meaning for me. I wouldn't even call Michel Gondry a genious even though I love that DVD almost more than life itself. Yes Chris does create a smooth clean movie. But he can't write a story worth poo. Not to say that music videos need story, but they gotta have more substance than fast moving images. Bjork's movie is as close as it gets to any sort of story whatsoever. And come on, my lame friends from a community college were pasting their heads on top of women's bodies. But his own face?

Disappointed in this fryer
I had great hopes in this fryer, but the first time that I used it, it was a failure. The first batch cooked fine, but the fryer shut off and I couldn't get it to re-heat. I checked the magnetic cord and played around with temp adjustments, but nothing worked. I had half of my fish fried and the other half NOT fried. I had a $100.00 fryer on my counter and was frying fish in a frying pan because it wasn't working! :( That was pretty sad. I thought the basket handle was a pain too. I had to return this fryer. I bought the deep fryer with Emeril's name on it. It's made by T-fal. That one can be disassembled and most of it can go in the dishwasher. It also has a filtering system that filters that allows you to easily filter the oil after each use. It was more expensive, but it has made dealing with the oil mess much easier.

So many problems
I've had this machine for two years now, and I've had nothing but problems. When I first put it together, some of the screws didn't fit. Now, I'm a handy person, and I know how to assemble things. The screws didn't actually screw in, so every time I turned the vacuum on, they just fell out. I have the handle duct-taped to the machine now. It also leaks very badly. In addition, the clear plastic part on the front that sucks the water back up gets clogged very easily, and there is NO WAY TO CLEAN IT. Therefore, my entire cleaner is clogged with dog hair. I have to take a long screwdriver to pry the hair out. (And yes, I do vacuum my carpets before cleaning, but there's no way to get all of the dog hair out of the carpet.)Today I went to clean some more carpets, and now neither the suction nor the clean water dispenser works.It does clean well, but the shoddy design and myraid issues mean that I'll never purchase another Hoover again.

This is one of the best movies of 2000
I think Mel Gibson might want to step aside from doing historical movies and let Russell Crowe take over. This is the first Crowe movie I have ever seen and I am impressed. Very impressed. This man can act.I also think Jocaquin Phoenix is an excellent actor. He plays a character that you just love to hate and he is really good at it too. If it comes down to talent, I must say Phoenix did a wonderful job and he is a much much better actor than his brother ever was. I think Hollywood should keep an eye on this man ~~ he is talented. Between the two of them, I can see why they took over the world by a storm. One classically noble and one pathologically weak. This is a movie between good and evil, for the greater cause and for love.Gladiator is a movie for both women and men ~~ it really shows humanity in its best and vilest forms. And the photography is just stunning. This is a movie that I highly recommend.

Very good but sumthins missing....
What's missing?Well, one of the lead singers (Lil G) is missing, but the group doesnt falter as a result.Whats actually missing is songs. This album really only has 9 songs. There are several interludes, a few of which you wouldnt know that it was an interlude by its listing. This is why I cant give this album a 5. If the "interludes" were made into songs this would be an amazing album!!OK-enough complainin...on the whole this is a good album. Even though they are 1 less member..their vocals and songs are still incredible. They tackle the issues of being in love, and getting hurt by the one you love. My favs are "My Girl", "Alibi", "More", "Silktime", and "Incredible".I recommend this album because in essence it is good. Silk has yet to make a bad album. They are on an independent label now & hopefully this will help them not hinder them.

is this a joke?
I'm still waiting for the punchline: "this isn't really rollins band - April Fool's you fools - this is a coverband who usually does contemporary top 40 TRYING to sound like henry and the boys - HaHaHaaah you suckers..".This must be an IQ test for the masses - the more who buy it, the lower the average rollins listener's IQ is. So it's all a farce, a joke, right henry? right? Now get back in the kitchen and make me a chicken pot-pie because this 'mac-and-cheese-hold-the-mac' aint cuttin the mustard, pal.'how about some new lyrics for "liar", in honor of this release: "...'cause you're a sucker. yeah. i'll crank this cheese out. i'll sell my soul. i'm turning into sting, i'm turning into sting. 'cuz you're a sucker. a sucker. sucker-sucker-sucker-suck!"I think the cover's got it right. It's all about chicks and money (dude).if you like this album, please buy it. buy two. 'cuz I'm not buying one, and henry appearantly needs the dough.

Not Impressed
I was very excited when I first found this product because I thought it would really help me with my nursing concept maps but in the end I was very disappointed. The software is very user friendly when it comes to collecting the data, but the actual concept map was a nightmare. Customizing it was a joke. As a student we're required to enter scientific rationale for each intervention which is a lot of typing. This software does not let you resize your text boxes in no way. Therefore, all of my text would end up off the page. It was a mess. I ended up having to take a screenshot, pasting the picture in paint program and then cutting and pasting the text I needed to move. I then pasted that in word and printed my concept map. I've used other Mosby products and know that they could have done better. I think they were just making this product to be able to say that they had it and to make a little money. Don't waste your money.

Avoid This Product
DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. ITEM.This heart rate monitor stopped working within 2 weeks. Yes, I read the reviews from others complaining of the poor batteries shipped with the device. So, I was actually prepared for the heart rate moniter (HRM) to fail and I would replace the batteries and 'all would be good'. Sure enough, the HRM stopped working within 2 weeks. I replaced the batteries in the watch and the chest strap and it worked just one more time. Even in its last use, I was skeptical of the heart rate it was displaying.For a product that does not have any moving parts, it speaks to poor quality when it fails that quickly. Please save your money, time and sanity and avoid this product.

Kitchenart Spice Rack as a gift is a big hit!
One of my wife's most dreaded kitchen activity is trying to find a spice in her spice cabinet. I had seen the K/A rack while searching the internet and decided it looked like it would be a winner. It was, not often do I find a gift that is a hit. This one was and it was out of the park hit. I bought 3 total hoping that the stacking feature would work on our counter. I think it would have, but my wife likes the three lined up on the bottom shelf our the cabinet. She is so excited to not have to reach over 2 rows to find the right spice. all are neatly alphabetized and accessable with a quick spin. The only comment I have heard is that the 'shaker' spout pours rather quickly on some finely ground spices. so, you need to watch that you don't shake too much too quickly.My concern before I bought them was would it be a high quality item, I believe it is. well built and worth it!

Quite happy with it . . . until it died
I bought this one month ago and kept telling myself that I'd like to write a good review on it. I was pretty happy with the design and the variable pre-set grinding times. Plus, it was easy to remove the cup and empty the grounds--a feature that I found more appealing than the setup on my ancient Krups grinder. However, yesterday, it just stopped working. I tried cleaning it carefully and making sure the top fit tightly. But, no luck. Luckily, my good ol' Krups was waiting patiently in the wings and came to the rescue.The grinder was relatively inexpensive so I don't think it's worth the time and effort to put up a fuss and get it replaced. I'll just stick with the Krups. It works fine after 15+ years. I just thought it was time for a change. Lesson learned. (If it ain't broke, . . . don't replace it.)

Mundane is insane
Afghanistan schmanistan. Where are the evil sorcerors and elves? I don't see any orc armies! Like dude, man! Why did you write about THIS world? You know? I don't see any love between an elf and a Bardic fighter! California? That's your final destination? I was waiting for you to wisk off the guilt ridden toad of a son to Nargalon. Poor little human! Trapped in a world of disease and industry. No magic spells of flight and invisibility here. Dad croaks, and I'm still waiting for the demon Balthazor to announce his wicked presence. Dude, you be illin'. I give it 2 stars because somehow I made it through the whole thing (obviously).

Perfect little machine!
I absolutely love this little machine! My mom's friend has had it for about a year now and she uses it daily for just about everything. For christmas, my mother bought me one as well and I've been using it daily since. I've tried nearly every recipe in the book that comes with it and more, and have had no problems.The motor turns VERY quickly, easily chops ice, etc as mentioned in the TV ad. I'm also very picky about what I eat and I love how the recipes they give you taste. If you don't like them, make your own recipe (it's not that hard).I absolutely hate any type of big cleanups, which is why I love my Magic Bullet so much. Prep and cleanup are so easy! There isnt anything bulky to try and clean up. Just the blades and any canisters and knives you use. You might need to wipe the base unit and countertop if you're as messy of a cook as I am. ;)

another masterful match with skill of Harlen Coben!
The heroine, Jinx, wakes up in a psychiatric-rehab hospital. She is recovering from a terrible auto collision. She is missing her short term memory of a few weeks. Her long term memory is intact. She knows who everyone is. So this is different from the typical amnesia novel and more believable because of it. Although she is alive, others are not, including the the now reopened murder of her first husband from a few years ago. Interestingly, it is her wealthy father who is the chief suspect in that murder. She herself suspects him and her father suspects her of being the culprit! They also loom as the most likely suspects when more murders turn up. There is a touch of romance in the story too with her psychiatrist. All in all an excellent read. Her who done its are NOT easy to guess who done it. They keep you working it out till the very end.

Timeless!
I remember when this movie first came out and I said I'm never gonna watch this crap. Then my family was like oh come on. You gotta watch this movie. They finally got me to watch it after I got bribed with Taco Bell and man, I was put to shame about what I said about this movie. It captured my heart from start to finish. Babe shows us that pigs can also get respect on the farm. He's adorable, lovable, funny, nice, and smart and finds his identidy as a "sheep pig." At first he's being clowned about it but as the movie goes on, you see what happens. The other character that I like is Ferdinand. He is really funny. There are some sad parts like when Babe has his mother taken away from him and when Ma gets killed by the dog but every great movie needs adversity. I hate The Oscars but James Cromwell won best supporting actor for his role as Farmer Hoggett and that's one of my very few reasons why I like The Oscars. This is a movie for all ages with one of the best movie endings of all-time!

North Mississippi Goo Goo Dolls Cover Band
Very funny, NMAS. Where is the real album. I can't believe you actually took the time to make an entire album just to play a cruel joke on your fans. You guys are real cards...uh, okay. Come on, this isn't funny anymore. Was Johnny Reznick the guest songwriter? This is more pop than a Coca-Cola in Canada. Why can't a band ever just dance with the date that brought them? Why even tease us with the Junior Kimbrough cover? Have fun on VH1, I won't be watching. Maybe you can get Rob Thomas to sing on a remix...

My super baby is now a toddler!
I used this book to make my own baby food starting when my son turned 6 months. The suggestions for how to prepare and store the different foods was invaluable. I then looked each new food up in my New Whole Foods Encyclopedia. It was a wonderful opportunity to really increase my knowledge of nutrition and implement it not only for my baby, but for my husband and I as well. Being a vegetarian, the protein complementarity charts were very useful. I made use of the homemade diaper wipe solution a lot! My son is now over two! I still use the book for recipes for snacks occasionally and for the party and craft ideas. Liam loved his super porridge... I don't know why I ever stopped feeding it to him. Now I have a very picky toddler eater and WISH he would get a full day's supply of nutrients at breakfast, his best-eaten meal of the day! I'll get use out of this reference for years to come!

Make your own.
These cards may work great if you're using Mounce's book. But I'm not. I'm using Hewett's and I thought it would be nice, rather than scribbling my own cards, to have some that are nicely printed. The problem is that these 1000 words are not organized alphabetically. So it's difficult to find the vocabulary words I need for Hewett's text. In fact, it's not even worth the effort of either resorting the 1000 cards, which are organized based on frequency of usage in the New Testament! If you was to learn your vocabulary just based on how many times a word appears these cards are for you. But if you want to use them to supplement any text other than Mounce's . . . not so much.

What a dull ending...
I TOTALLY agree with the reviewer who said the ending of the series (and the final season as a whole) RUINED ALL OTHER SEASONS. Yeah, ALL other seasons became senseless.What a lack of imagination: THEY WERE ALL DEAD. Yes, that's the answer to all the mysteries. They were dead... duh!!! A six year old child could come with a final like that. When you're dead you can time travel all you want, talk to smoke monsters, see things that don't exist and even ressurect to die again. Wow, how come I haven't thought of that before! Amazing writers these guys...Come on, they had you believing for 5 years, 5 years, that it would not be something so stupid as this. The "they are all dead" theory was the one everybody came up with in the first place, at the very begining of season 1. And they had you believing it would be something TOTALLY diferent. And you believed, because "it was such a stupid ending, of course they would come with something better than that". Well, they didn't.

The BEST in fantasy, past, present, and most likely future
I first read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in 1969 and have been re-reading it every year since. Like all good literature it stirs all the emotions. This is not only the best fantasy I've ever read but the best story I've ever experienced.I just finished reading The Hobbit to my 10 year old son. I would read him a chapter each night. He would call me at work each day just to be sure I would be on time to read the next chapter. Can you imagine a 10 year old boy running to the shower each night without a fuss? And then coming downstairs, handing me the book saying, "c'mon Dad". His exictement over this story is a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life. What a wonderful thing to share with your son. Thank you J.R.R. Tolkien!!!

Great value boom in a stylish box. The jWin Boombox.
This boombox is really good! It can get pretty lound, the radio is great and there is no problem with the CD reader-it can handle CDRs and CDRWs. Also, there is an included external power adapter if you dont want to use batteries. It is pretty light and great for the beach. The white colouring is a bit too shiny (could be matt finished like the blue colour) but its ok as the boombox is a great value.Update (May 31, 06)So I still use the boombox. It works good as new. Something I'd want to add is that the boombox is very durable; I took this boombox on Spring Break earlier this year. I took the boombox almost everywhere I went. By the end of the trip it had sand in it, it had been kicked around, survived many falls and just survived the whole spring break. The best part of it is that for the whole 10 period I used only one set of batteries. The sound tone and clarity was great for the whole spring break period. It was quite remarkable.

Completely took my breath away...
I consider myself very fortunate to have discovered this truly amazing lady. My aunt had this disc in her cd changer on a day I just happened to be having dinner at her house. I really wasn't paying attention to the music in the background. But when I first heard Nina's voice, I found myself absolutely mesmerized. All I could say was "Who's that playing on the stereo?" It was, of course, Nina. I had never heard of this legendary lady before, but I became an instant fan. Nina has one of those voices that you just can't classify, like Macy Gracy, Tina Turner, Billie Holliday, Rod Stewart, Anastacia, Bjork and the list goes on... It's a potent instrument, soulful, emotional, beautifully textured, and deep. It's one of those rare voices that truly stands out from the millions of singers around the world. It's just heaven... One must hear Nina's voice to get a true sense of what I'm talking about. Her voice really will take your breath away...

Gilad tape isn't worth a try
First if all, this tape is so dated. The picture quality is really bad. Secondly, Gilad goes non-stop through the aerobics segment. After a while my chest started hurting. A better bet would be Kathy Smith who works in intervals. And the incessant couning drove me nuts. And there is this one guy in he back who is so distracting. He keeps counting loudly and answering Gilad all the time. This tape is terrible. After a while, I just was hoping to end the bouncing around. It felt like the longest tape. The music is awful. I started muting it and playing my own cd's.

Beautifully done!
It is stunning! Beautiful engineered. Loved the previous version without the pop-up and now this just makes it more fanciful and exciting. The pop-up really works well for these illustrations and it is more durable than most pop-ups I've seen. This is not a story based on the song, it is part of the actual lyrics. This book is about the visual impact and giving color and character to the song. The pop-ups are NOT interactive and this would be the only thing I could imagine would improve it.It comes with a CD. There are 4 tracks. 1) "Puff, the Magic Dragon" with vocals. It is a very nice duet with simple instrumentation. 2) "Froggy Went a Court'n". 3) "The Blue Tail Fly". 4) "Puff, the Magic Dragon" Instrumental- very pretty.Also comes with a Puff app. I don't have a Smart Phone, so I have no comment.

POOR DESIGN
I bought this item to use in lieu of my steam iron when my carpal tunnel flares up. I haven't tried using it on a wrinkled garment--only to touch up after ironing. My complaint is that the water reservoir cannot be fully emptied after use so water stays in it. Two small screws inside the reservoir are rusting after one use. I used it about 2 weeks ago and it still has water in it. I called Conair customer service and they told me you have to use all the water by steaming it out. There is a small plastic cap device and that's the only means of putting water in or taking it out. It's the same type of cap used on pool flotation devices. I'm returning this because of the water reservoir problem. It needs to be redesigned. If it were actually good for removing wrinkles, I would be afraid the rust from the screws would ruin my clothes.

Almost no content
In short, this is the worst game "guide" that I have ever purchased. This is why:* No maps!* Directions reverse left/right and east/west in several areas.* Incorrect information about many of Yuri's Fusion levels.* The Item Descriptions are often vague. Furthermore, information about the Items and Equipment are scattered randomly through the book. Ultimate Armors and the like are in an odd place near the front of the book instead of with the Equipment list. And if you see an item mentioned in the walkthrough, good luck finding it in the lists.* Directions often neglect to mention the existence of valuable items in treasure chests in an area.* Very thin spell data. Why aren't there lists of the extra spells you get when Solomon's Map sections are completed?Overall, this book gives you as much content as would a text-only guide that you can find free all over the net -- an error-riddled guide at that. Don't waste your money.

Tripe Actually
A stellar cast is drawn together for...what? For the biggest load of tripe I've had the misfortune to sit through in a long time.Hmmm...Romantic COMEDY? Laugh...I thought I'd never start - and I was not wrong. Not a chuckle, not a titter was raised. Humour of the middle-class dinner party variety doesn't work for me. Lame, obvious jokes and cartoon characters abound. "Common as muck" Natalie swears in front of the "upper-crust" Prime Minister and we're supposed to find it funny? Charming? Believable??? PREPOSTEROUS?!LOVE? If Richard Curtis thinks his threadbare characterizations and superficial plot lines constitute or represent love in any meaningful way then he is bonkers, actually.If Disney made movies for the adult market then this is what they'd come up with. Utter rubbish.

I'd take a pass on these dvd's
The instructor definitely knows Zbrush......but his teaching method is lacking. He's not focused, and has a tendency to bounce around the interface while chatting away. You're not always aware of what he's clicking, which is quite frustrating. His mouse is moving all about but you have no clue as to why. This is more of a "watch me do this", rather than a "here's how we do this" video. I've got both Vol. 1 and 2 of 'Get Into Zbrush' and would not recommend either. His `Intro to the interface' portion is basically a "Click here to do this, and click this to do that......and to do this other thing? I'll touch on that later." It would've been wiser to start with a simple object and work up, explaining each function by example. Again, he knows the app, but his teaching method is counter-productive.

lights are on, but no one's home
Beautiful machine, heavy, seems like it would be durable. Makes a nice espresso with everything you'd expect. At least, WHEN THE MACHINE WORKS. I'm on my third machine. First one, heater quit working after 9 months. Second one (their replacement), heater quit working after only 3 months. They replaced the third one with an upgrade to the BES 820XL model (programmable). It never worked - broken pump out of the box. Past 90 days with Amazon, so can't get $ back there and MAKE NOTE: If you don't purchase the machine directly from Breville, they can't give you your money back, only an endless game of 'replace the machine'. Hey, it keeps UPS in business at least. I know people who love their machine...lucky them, it's still working.

Mediocre
I bought this product about 3 weeks ago. The coffee is delicious! Its really easy to operate too. However, the steam wand's function entirely stopped after 3 weeks. I called Krups to troubleshoot it, and she told me I would have to return the product, and that there was no hope that it would fix itself. Basically, this machine is a gimmick. The coffee maker is durable, but the espresso part is for the infrequent user. Do not buy this if you intend to make yourself a latte every once in a while.Overall, I am disappointed in this product. I really liked it; then it broke after light usage. I only had it for 3 weeks!!

High Fidelity
On the one hand I didn't like the book but on the other hand it was okay. Nick Hornby is a good author, I think, and he is very creative. His speech is funny and varied. He has chosen many different and also extreme characters. "High Fidelity" isn't a book like others. I think it is both, a diary and a novel because you find out a lot about Rob's thoughts and feelings.But what I didn't like was Rob's character. He often is selfish and egocentric. He can be a real macho and isn't interested in someone else than himself. But after a while ha changes. It seems as if he has matured. He develops from a boy to a man.All in all the book isn't the worst I have ever read. It has a few boring passages bur if you don't take Rob seriously the book is funny, too.

Maneating dino
This wasn't a excellent book in the sense of I'll ever read it again. But I was not disappointed in this book. There is alot of carnage, and I mean ALOT. This dino eats everything in sight. He's intelligent, works things out. I didn't care that the dino never seemed to get "full". I didn't find this book scary just gory. You pretty much know who's going to survive until the end. It reads like a horror movie, this isn't a bad thing. It's easy reading and I found it be a page turner. The dino is relentless too, just like a horror movie where the bad guy just never seems to die once. If you are looking for a gory, quick, dino horror novel, this is for you. Whether the author did research on the subject at hand, I could really care less. I don't read for facts, not a fiction novel. The whole point is to just be a good story.

HAHAHA 100% TRASH MOVIE!!!
HAHAHAHA!!This is one of the funniest movie I've haver seen! But this is not a good thing. It is 100% trash movie. Its effects are the worst in the movie history. The caracters are stupid. This is garbage. The story is even worst. The worst of all is the Swordsman's mustache. My little brother could do something more real. Really, this is a MUST NOT see. It takes 90 minutes of suffering. It looks like 10 years!!! This one is really terrible... This is a proof that sometimes people can really SCREW EVERYTHING UP. Sucks big time!!!

pay attention while reading this book
This book is a trip! You really have to pay attention while you read the book because they give clues all the way through it. There is a twist at the end that is totally unexpected. I had to re-read the last few chapters to make sure I read it right.The story is told from Jack Trainor's point of view. Jack is a psychiatrist, and has a younger sister Kate. Kate is a writer, but she seems extremely unstable. The focus of the story is Jack's differing relationships with women. By the end of the story, there is a resolution in both Kate's relationships with men through the resolution of Jack's relationship with women. All this resolution comes because Jack faces the truth of the horrible event that framed their youth.I would highly recommend this book. The librarian who checked it out to me told me it was strange, but I disagree. It takes a little bit to get used to, but the story grabs you as you get further in. Happy reading!

Elementary, not explanatory, out-of-date!
This book is a beginner's book. Not all bad, but certainly lacks depth. Written just like the MS Windows stuff - here's how to do it. No discussion of why. Many examples, but they can be arbitrary and there is no discussion of what situation the author targeted the example to. Thus, many would be left to think that system administration of Linux is black and white.Also, this book is aimed at RedHat 6.2. Nobody has used that in years. It's almost irrelevant. The print chapter never discusses CUPS or XPRINT - it only covers the traditional lp and lpr print systems. The networking chapter was OK - but lacked any depth, no good discussion on routing and the examples were so limited that they would only work for a narrow situation.Don't buy this book, unless you buy mine from me! :-)I had an Amazon gift certificate, so I did not loose much.

The Daughter of a WWII Vet...
First let me put my bias right up front. I love the Bush family. George the 1st is a decent, honest man....a man of privilege, but a man of honor. He wasn't my favorite president; and I wasn't sure I would like this book.This collection of letters is *marvelous*!...and a tribute to the WWII generation and generations before who were letter writers. I have a story in letters from and to my own father from the time he entered the Army in 1943 through his being wounded in France and meeting my mother in a hospital in Kansas just before the war ended in 1945. George H. W. Bush's book made me laugh and cry. It gave me a new admiration for the "man". If you love the WWII generation, read this book. If you don't know much about that generation you HAVE to read this book! You NEED to know about them. They epitimize America at it's best...

Panasonic PV-V4523S Review
The Panasonic PV-V4523S is a good VCR. It's one of the last to record in LP mode. The following models only record in SP/EP. The shortcomings are the silver finish and the tape advance. The silver finish wears off quickly in the high use areas, especially on the remote. The tape counter is awkward. It only shows on the TV screen and not on the LCD panel on the front of the VCR. The screen only shows Play and Rec on the LCD panel while in use w/o showing the tape counter. In REW and FF the screen only shows those terms briefly while the tape starts moving, making a precise rewind or fast forward imprecise. After one year of heavy use it has held up well. I bought two more to have one that will record in LP for the future.

Holy the Firm
This slim little book is full of wonderful writing; as many have said, it's as near poetry as it can be. And Ms. Dillard makes some trenchant observations. The big "however" you may sense coming is: this book is cool, distant, self-involved, and worst, inhumane. Another reviewer pointed out the hubris of Ms. Dillard's pronouncement in the last paragraph of the book concerning the burn victim--that it will all be ok. This unhappy episode was prefigured by the fact that Ms. Dillard read by the light of a burning moth for two hours, which seemed to me awful. Could she have saved the moth? No. Could she have given it a more merciful death? Perhaps. Does it matter? Maybe not. But it left me chilled.

A living book
I call this book a living book because it has chunks of life in it. It is not like many other Dear America diaries. It does not end happily ever after. Although Nannie forgives Belle rain water in words I think she still feels bitter in her heart. I do not know if the information is historicaly accurate. Another reviewer brought to my attention that it is not. I do like the theme of the book and how Nannie is constantly torn between two traditions and customs that often oppose. At then end I think she settles on a compromise favoring her Native American ways. I also don't blame her. She has spent most of her life practicing Native American customs and all of a sudden is whisked away to a new lifestyle. it's simply not possible for her to favor new traditions some of which she has not even learned yet. Altogether the book has a good story line and a good undecided ending because in life there rarely is a perfect compromise and this book demonstrated that.

It's real.
My God in heaven, what have I done. I ordered expecting it to be another cheap toy imported from China, but it was real. My God it was real. When I took it out of the box, wind started blowing and the Harry Potter theme started playing. The first thing I tried with it was "Avada Kadavra" on my mom. She's dead now. The Ministry is hunting me down. I don't know what they'll do to me when they catch me, as I didn't even read past the first Harry Potter book. This is my testament. Don't buy it. For the love of all things holy or whatever the hell Harry Potter worships, don't buy it. PLEASE DON'T BUY IT.

Horrible Lip Balm Product
This is the worst product! It was a disaster to clean up and not so easy to mix either. Directions say to clean with soap and water....Not even Dawn Detergent will break up this mess. We had to use Go-Jo Grease Cleaner to scrub things down including us to break up the palmate product that is used! On another note, my daughter decided to put some of this in her hair one day...Lord knows why! We tried clarifying shampoo, Dawn Detergent, Corn Starch being rubbed in then brushed out then shampooed again, a gentle hair stripper from our hair stylist and nothing would take this mess out of her hair! I called the company directly and they said "oh just use soap and water". Yeah that doesn't work! I explained everything to them and the advice they gave was useless. I called my brother in law the chemist in the family who reminded me to use the Go-Jo or a Green based chemical cleaner lightly on her hair and that finally worked. Good luck if you get this product!

Worst POS Philips ever made
SLOW menu response. Takes forever to "boot" up. Will show that it is recording yet when finished, DVD shows blank. However, there is space used on the blank that you cannot finalize since the recorder consideres it a blank still. IR Remote...crappy. You have to be inches away and aim directly at the IR receiver even with new batteries. Timer...a joke. Put a blank in and set it to record a 1 hour show at medium quality leaving another hour of space remaining. Set it to record a second 1 our show and it sits there like a bump on a log. No warnings...nothing.Remote buttons get hung up under the case cutouts. The absolute worst thing I've spent $150 on. I should have driven down the highway and thrown the $150 out of the window...I'd have more to show for it and WAY less stress.

What in the world!?...is it real, or am I on a very bad trip?
This seriously might be a representation of what hell might be like...I've never seen anything so strangely disturbing and sexually cheap in my life. Was goofball Ron Howard on LSD when he directed this fiasco. Jim Carey was obviously on some type of stimulant as usual...he was a hyperactive clown and a half. It was bad on so very many levels, from the rediculous characters and dumb video effects. Very weird and disturbing movie. I can understand how some people might think it's funny but you def. don't want your kids watching this poo. The original 30 min. cartoon is charming and offers a beautiful and hopeful message. This cow patty offers the exact opposit. The goober(s) that wrote the screenplay and especially Ron (Baldy Sour) Howard should be slapped and banned from the movies forever.

Annoying and hard to follow
I bought this based on the great reviews and all the awards. Wow. Not too sure what the hype is all about. The character voices were so so annoying--I can't imagine listening to this multiple times. Then it jumps wildly from topic to topic. Galileo to Fibonacci sequences to magnetism and Mozart and so on in lightening speed. Nothing is covered well, just quickly, again in those annoying voices.The worst part for me, though, was the whole reason I bought the CD--I wanted some good skip counting songs. Holy cow. It is the most awkward, contrived, forced sequence you can imagine. It's set to Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and I wish I could sing it for you to show you just how weird the 2's are. Then it skips to sevens and omits the number 28.I wish I'd saved my money.

Great toaster!
I purchased this toaster--after my old, old Sunbeam toaster "died". I took to the internet to try and review and research a toaster that would be right for all my needs and budget. The Breville one kept coming to the top--even though I had not heard of this manufacturer before. I ordered and purchased on a Tues. afternoon and received it on a Wed. afternoon--with standard shipping!!! Way to go Amazon!! I was elated.......because I really use my toaster! I immediately tried it out and was sooooooo pleased!! Have used at least 10 times since that first day and have to say it has worked beautifully. My old toaster was not a wide-slice and I would always have to "smash" my bagels to get them to fit in the slot. It is so nice not to have to do that anymore! I would highly recommended this toaster to anyone thinking of purchasing a new one.

Stupendous Me!
Some animated films work better than others. In our crowded market of animated masterpieces, Despicable Me stands out. Better than Megamind, and on par with Hercules/(and likely Yogi Bear), Despicable is NOT.My first reaction was that Gru was a stolen name! Really, Sergio Aragonnes and Mark Evanier created Groo the Wanderer, so we thought the worst. We were wrong.Gru (Steve Carell) is delightful, and his supporting cast of 3 young children, and hench things are great. His arch nemesis (voiced by Brand) is meaner, and leaner, yet this film just may define villain/hero differently. Megamind took a villain and turned him into a hero, but this film is different, it turns him into a DAD, one step better.Animation wise, it rocks. Humorwise, gotta love it. Theme wise, no one is beyond redemption. Plotwise, sometimes the most obscure work the best. Steal the moon, sure Gru, give it a shot!Highly recommended.Tim Lasiuta

Douglas Adams: "He's just this guy, you know?"
Sure, _Mostly Harmless_ isn't the same as the original trilogy. And yes it is substancially darker. The ending is abrupt to say the least. But don't take it personally; read it as a conclusion. There are lots of funny bits (like the Elvis sighting: loved it!) to keep things moving along. We asked for another book, we got one. It's not the greatest of Adams' works, but it is an amusing conclusion to a greatly expanded trilogy. I find its darkness and abruptness rather fitting. Certainly worth looking at, for Hitchhiker fans. (How can you NOT read the final installment, no matter how "bad" people say it is?)

More Lyman magic
Arthur Lyman was such a talented musician. He never got the kind of deep respect he deserved because his music was truly "music" and not just whatever sound was popular at the moment. Listen to his haunting beautiful sounds on the vibraphone and you're transported to a more gentle time and place. His skill on vibes and marimba are fabulous! And he played a pretty mean set of congas to boot. Great sidemen in his group, too. Always beautiful sounds from his pianist. And Chang on percussion was always an adventure. Arthur Lyman was a beautiful person making beautiful music. His passing in 2002 was a loss to the music world and just because he was an incredibly wonderful person. He will be missed.

Mack Camera Warranty on Sony Z1U video camera
UPDATE August 28thI called and got a wonderfully helpful woman on the phone. She promised she would find out how things were going and she did. They were just slowed down because so many people were on vacation. My camera was finished the next week and retuned very quickly. It works great. I am impressed.August 23thI am getting quite nervous about how MackCamera is going to perform. I sent my video camera in on July 23rd and now, 21 business days later it, according to their online repair status, is still "waiting in line for a technician." Their web lists the estimated time for repair at 10 to 15 business days.I've seen a lot of horror stories in forums about them and have emailed for a true status check. So far, a week later, no reply. I have now left a voice mail message and sent another email (August 21). I have tried to get a human on the phone, but so far no luck.Shaking in San Diego.Alex Farnsley[...]

Compressed version of original movie
I watched the original movie in the theater and read the book. I rented the video tape last night watched the movie again. And I found that many things are missing from the original movie. Especially the part when the two sisters were young. For example, I remember the Jackie's screaming when she found the Cello in the morning on her 5th birthday. Where are all those things gone ? Very disappointing video production. I remember that the original movie lasted at least 2 hour and 15 min. The video is merely 2 hour and 1 min. I would like to ask video producers that they should contain everything that was in the original movie. I would recommend not buying this one at this moment. I hope that they would release some "director's cut" or "original cut" version in the near future.

A little conflict would go a long way!
We played "Old Joy" last year at our college theater and the audience (those who stayed awake) were stunned. Nothing much happens in this picture. It has been praised by many critics as a great work of art. I think that's the same mentality that calls a blank canvas a great work of art. This film has good acting (considering they didn't have much of a script to work with) and the photography is beautiful. The main problem with this picture is the total lack of conflict. It seemed like I was watching a 90 minute home movie of friends on a camping trip. The reason good movies keep our interest is the conflict. Without it we may as well just sit and watch the fish swim in an aquarium. This is the kind of film you can go out to the kitchen several times for snacks and make a couple trips to the bathroom without pausing the DVD. You wouldn't miss anything important, anyway. What a shame!

Avent bottles LEAK.
Avent bottles leak between the bottle and the white collar. As a new mom, I was so impressed with the Avent advertising campaign I refused to "believe" other reviews on this site that the bottles leak. Now that I have been using them for the past three weeks, I have discovered that it is true. It does not matter how tight the collar is attached, or what nipple is used, they leak. I have tried a leaky bottle with other nipple/collar combinations and I have found that they still leak. I am not sure what aspect of the product is defective. It is a pain to have a bottle leak, wet the bottle bag, the car seat, or soak your newborn's onsies. I am very disappointed that I have invested a significant amount of money in avent products. I have over 10 bottles, the pump, and a few other items. I am going to switch to another system. I can't stand the frustration of having everything wet and the cost of loosing formula to soaking wet baby clothes. The "End"

Quality Concern
The packaging was good as the box was unpacked. From there, it progressively got worse. The brackets to hold the clear shields on do not offer adequate fit. The bracket to hold the tool rest is finished for a left hand application. Once again fit & finish is not a concern at Delta. When I turned the machine on, It almost vibrated off the bench. I turned the variable speed up to see if it would make a difference and in doing so, it stayed on full throttle. The knob is totally inoperable and does nothing. The Wheels could not be trued using the supplied stone dresser. Looks like they will have to be replaced with better quality. Delta support line is closed tonight. Hopefully they will support this mess of a machine!!

Good sewing machine for learning to sew
I got this machine to help my 7 year old daughter learn to sew. It has been a great machine. The ability to control the machine at very slow speeds is not great. It tends to hum and then race forward. It isn't a problem for me, the parent, but my daughter lacks the control to deal with the faster speed. The controls are simple and only what is essential. The variety of stitches is just what she needs. It is easy to set up and thread. I haven't used the buttonholer yet and I noticed some machines use a "one step" buttonholer. I don't think the 4 steps this machine uses will be a problem, but if you plan to make a lot of buttonholes, this might be a consideration. We are very satisfied with this machine especially considering the reasonable price.

Juicing Revisited
My first thought was..this is a MINI machine???? Wow!I gave up juicing in 1990 - cleaning the machine wasn't worth the effort. (A juice stand in Cairo, Egypt was delighted to have it. Can't think why.) So, I see some progress has been made in the "user friendly" department. And that's nice. The 110.5 fits the bill. Only a complete slob would find it difficult to clean. But there's still lots of bits & pieces to work on. It's very easy to use, and that's great for me as I have no patience with appliances. I haven't a whole lot to compare it to, but I don't think it will be donated to Goodwill or put in the basement anytime soon. You'll be happy with it. Just a pity there's no recipe book with it.

I REALLY SLEPT ON THIS ONE! GREAT ARTIST!
I recently bought this album after I saw all the "5 star" reviews on Amazon.com. I was not disappointed! Believe me if you love smooth, mellow, CHRISTIAN music with a strong dose of awesome worship, you need to get this album!!! Every track is bangin'! Especially #'s 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, & 11...When you listen to the words of each song and you can tell that he loves GOD & his family. I personally like Days of My Life and have made it my "family anthem" in a sense. My kids and I sing it often! He is very talented as an guitarist too.Also to let you know he is also a great song writer. Check out JoAnn Rosario, Darlene McCoy, and V3's most recent albums. He's left a mark on each one and probably many other artist that we do not know about! Check out the samples, then buy the album... you will be BLESSED!! Grace & Peace, <><

Wonderful!
I love these candles. I first tried them from my vet's office. They really workin eliminating odors. My dogs use potty mats and one dog is left uncrated. SometimesI come home to pet odors if he has pooped on his potty mat. I can light one ofthese and within 15 min you can no longer smell it! It works great in theroom where I keep the dog's crates, etc and even in the kitchen! I havetried delicious pancakes, vanilla rose, cremey vanilla, pumkin spice, crackling fireside,bamboo, mulberry spice, and cinnamon sprinkle! My favorite are the vanilla roseand crackling fireside. They are all great. The only one I didn't care forwas the pumpkin spice!My only concern is I hope they are safe to burn since they do have paraffin in them.

WAY too much trouble
This product is WAY too much trouble for the sake of stinky diapers. I used it for about two weeks. At first I didn't even understand how to use it. I even kept the instructions on my changing table. My husband, being the man that he is, gave up and wouldn't use it because it was too complicated. The inside liner kept ripping, I couldn't get the diapers down into it without takeing off the ring thing on top. Then I had to put it back together in order to twist the diaper down into it. Then, trying to change the liner was IMPOSSIBLE!!! Anyways, I should have asked my friends. They all had the same complaints. I ended up with a normal Safety First diaper pail, and though it doesn't mask odors completely, it works with out any trouble.

Still a very good album in its own
I'm going to make this review short; I love Saves The Day. They are a great Jersey band and deserve much credit for their sound. In Reverie is a great album overall. I only gave it four stars because I liked STD's previous album a little more. Chris Conley's voice is also different in this new album. I can't really explain how, but if I had to, I would say he sounds younger and less nasally. I had grown accustomed to his voice on the last album, but the overall conclusion is that I like the change. What don't I like about the album? Nothing really. It is very upbeat, pop, and addicting. I knew all the lyrics after a week of obsessively listening to it. After I retired it, I can still say that if you like Saves The Day, then you will really like In Reverie.

Caveat Emptor
One of the worst books I have ever read in my 50 years of literacy. Absolutely dreadful. I should have known when I saw the jacket: a woman's figure from the wrong era pasted onto a pine farm.The book is overwritten and under-imagined. The characters are cardboard and impossible to view with empathy or even affection--apathy is more like it. (Why must novels about my native South be peopled by bizarre, perfervid gothic types?) Unimportant action is minutely detailed, while major movements are left unrealized. The dialogue is artificial, imperfectly accented, and stagy; in fact, the entire book is stagy, as if it were written with film in mind. (God help the director.) Imagery is strained and distracting, and the observations of nature are sometimes inaccurate. There are even grammar errors (shudder).In all, this novel was not worth the (pine-derived?) paper on which it was printed.

People, people, people! Yall know that this book is entirely OVERRATED! This was not a good book. It's not even an average book. I'd say that it is rather a disappointing book. I am not impressed with Ms. Roby's writing. She's an average writer -- nothing to get all hyped about. In the past, she tells the same old boring stories that have been told over and over again. But to her credit, she did bring out a new fad in "teen phone sex." It would be nice to hear some new stories from fresh voices. Naturally, Terri Mc is the girl. By the way, where's she been hiding? Isn't it about time we hear from her again? Also, newcomer R.M. Johnson is a delightfully fresh new voice.

Not bad for semi-amamteurs
While some of the signers actually have been paid for singing (LaToya) and some have appeared on other TV amateur shows (Diana) for the most part they are all beginners. It doesn't show. They all do a good job on this album. My favorite tracks were George's, Amy's , Jennifers, Matt's, and LaToyas.My least favorite's were Jasmine and Camile. JPL was aww-ite to paraphrase Randy. As was Diana. JS is an acquired taste like Scotch whiskey. You either like me or you don't. I like him but he don't belong on a soul album. I hate to double up on Camile. She's got a voice like she's been smokin' and drinkin'. Maybe she's an acquired taste also that I just haven't acquired yet. I think it's that vibratto thing that Reuben had.

Beware if you use Windows XP SP3!
I was going nuts. I was using this on a desktop from 2007 that I had kept off the Internet for about two years. Now I wanted networking ability. The computer started installing a couple years of Windows updates. After it installed Service Pack 3, I lost my Belkin USB hub and my Belkin Wireless N connector. They wouldn't work with anything.So I replaced the Wireless N connector with a similar Wireless N unit from another manufacturer. Voila. I'm back on the Net.After Googling around, Belkin devices seem to have problems with XP Service Pack 3, which they have never taken the time to correct. Other manufacturers have no such problems. For example, myD-Link DWA-125 150Mbps Wireless N USB Adapterhas no problems connecting to our office network.So, if you use Windows XP and have Service Pack 3 installed, DON'T buy Belkin products. And shame on them for not publicly declaring that they have elected not to support SP3!
