Highly recommend you buy and study this book
|
Great stuff in this book. Get it, study it, learn from it, execute it.Being a 6'3" guy with long arms and long legs, why would I want to swing my club like Craig Stadler? Or like Ben Hogan for that matter. I'm an Ernie Els built person and should swing according to who I am.That is what this book deals with. Build your swing around who you are - your strengths and weaknesses. I can't count how many times I read about my specific swing (arc) and said "yes! yes! that's me! that's how I swing and where my faults are!"I took this swing out to a 9 holer on Sunday and turned my drives and fairway woods into straight shots, and you don't know what a change that is for a banana baller like me. I finally feel like I have the keys I need to make a repeatable swing. In times past I'd drive it straight, but didn't know why. What did I do right? How can I repeat it?With this book I now know WHAT I did right and HOW I can repeat it.Can't ask for much more than that.

Expensive fan
|
I like the design of this product. It is able to swivel from side to side and tilt up and down. It also runs pretty quiet even on high. It comes with an extra long cord. That is about as much positive as I can say about it. I was hoping to clear out some of the musty mildew smell I was greeted with upon moving to my new place. It has made no noticeable difference in the air quality of my apartment. I purchased one for a friend with my order, and he didn't pick his up for a few weeks. So I was running two of these units side by side for a while and still noticed no improvement in air quality. He placed his in a room with a litter box and it seemed to spread the odor around instead of eliminating it. The LED's used to light the grid are very dim. It seems to me that the photo oxidation and ion production is very minimal.

Can Someone please 'Review'?
|
My hope is that someone will boot my comment off. But in going down the list of costumer reviews, many are not in fact 'reviews.' They seem to be blugeonings for the sake of typing something about a topic they have a personal opinion on. I would say that I have gone down the list and especially the ones that have 1 star. Their attacks are not on content, on writing style, on evidence, on the book. They are political attacks on the writer. I would hope people can write something useful so I can get an idea of what the book is about, not so much anything else.***I gave it its rating of 4 stars to try and minimize the effect of this post on the books average. Please view this as a review of the reviews and not anything about the book. I'm still deciding whether not to buy it. ***

Dancin' Delight!!
|
Stanley!!!....hey!!...who CAN'T listen to cuts "La Fiesta" and "Captain Marvel" and NOT start dancin'???...both cuts hit you like a BLOW TORCH!! Of course, it's the drums & bass that drive you but Stan's sax charts the course!! This is BOSSA NOVA times 10!!!....a very muscular SAMBA!...MACHO SAMBA!! This is the first Stan Getz CD that I heard him WAIL (La Fiesta)!! Although this was recorded in the early 70s...it's NOT dated...it still SWINGS...beyond belief!! I own many (22) Stan Getz CDs...but I don't think he ever burned as hot on these testosterone-induced Latin numbers.Why Stan didn't grab Chick, Tony Williams and Stanley Clarke and make a follow-up, I'll never know. He probably thought those young cats would give him cardiac arrest...but he need'nt worry...not only does he keep UP...he LEADS!! I must admit though, after listening to this CD...I had to catch my breath...and take a shower...it's HOT!!! Buy it...and sweat with a smile!

several flaws
|
I have a white Krups with a glass carafe that is not programmable..just a coffee maker and it makes great coffee with no problems. I bought this one because I wanted a stainless steel one to match my appliances. Well, I got my old Krups back out after using this one. First of all, the water gauge on the side does not work so you don't know how much coffee it will make. I took a measuring cup and poured in 6 cups of water and when it brewed, it overflowed. I thought this was a 10 cup coffee maker unless they mean the teeny expresso cups! It doesn't keep the coffee hot enough either. The carafe is hard to pour and sometimes it comes out all over the place! I can't get it to program for 1-3 cups. Sometimes the latch to open it up to get to the coffee filter will not unlatch. It's just a poorly design coffee maker!

This book is rad, dude
|
Benjamin Mc Fadden and the robot baby sitter are by Timothy Bush. Timothy Bush is a great writer and a good illustrator too. This book is great, it's funny and it's good for a bedtime story for kids the age of 3 to 13. Benjamin is a stubborn boy when it comes to bedtime. The book is about a robot baby sitter that's mean. Benjamin reprograms the robot to be fun. The baby sitter reprograms the other robots to be fun too. Then it gets out of control. Then Benjamin says the password, it's pa... sorry you will have to read the book.I like the end when Benjamin said " What a weird night. " and Fantastic (the robot cat) said something really funny. Then Benjamin looks like the book is going to happen all over again. I recommend this book to Kindergartners though 6th graders because every one can enjoy it. I think 7th graders won't read it because it's too easy to them.By the way this book takes place in outer space, you can tell from the illustrations.

Uplifting and inspiring
|
I heard a track from this CD on Pandora internet radio. It was so uplifting that I had to buy the CD. I agree it is chanting more than individual songs. But it is quite beautiful and compelling. My favorite track is #4. I can't sit still when I hear this track. The blissful feeling stays with me long after the CD has ended. According to the CD insert, the CD was recorded live in New York City. The musicians and vocals that accompany Krishna Das's melodic voice are excellent. This music fosters introspection and blissful release. I recommend the CD, especially if yoga is your thing.

A must have for the real Rock Collector.
|
Ufo has had many ups and downs. And in a way it has made them who they are now. Like a great wine they just keep getting better with age. Released in 1975 "Force It" had the bands lineup with Phil Mogg - Vocals, Andy Parker - Drums, Pete Way - Bass, Michael Schenker - Guitars, and Chick Churchill - Guest on Keyboard.1. Let It Rock2. Shoot Shoot3. High Flyer4. Love Lost Love5. Out In The Street6. Mother Mary7. Too Much Of Nothing8. Dance Your Life Away9. This Kid's (Including Between The Walls.)You can't go wrong with a CD by UFO if you are into this style of hard rock.

Perhaps the worst book I've ever read
|
Having read and enjoyed Ringworld and Ringworld Engineers, I hoped for a suitable conclusion to the trilogy. Instead I found a boring, unintelligible tale with new characters being introduced late in the book. Larry Niven must have had a wire in his brain, because he writes here as if he were high all the time. His original concept was masterly. I would say Engineers advanced the plot. This culmination leaves many more questions than answers, and I forced myself to get through it, just out of principle. I liked or at least had some sympathy for the main characters earlier in the series. The cardboard cutouts introduced in this book I could care less for. Even the surviving characters from the earlier books lost my interest and sympathy. This is not the normal tailing off to be expected as a series continues on. This is a plunge into the abyss of writing.

The Mermaid Chair
|
This is one of the worse books I have ever read. Its a major disappointment since I read and loved "The Secret Life of Bees". It consist of a well worn plot; Bored housewife/artist goes back to her old home town when her mother needs help. During her stay, she decides she needs to rediscover herself. She meets a monk who is living in the monastary near her mother's home. He is also trying to rediscover himself. They become involved. These characters are not likable. Neither of them have any real issues to resolve. This much ado about nothing is the basis of their short-lived affair. The health problems of Jesse's mother, Nell, (the reason Jesse came home) quickly becomes a sub-plot.

Clan works together on problems
|
I avoided this book for a long time because I had heard it was too upsetting for children. Yes, it is a sad book. And it might be too sad for some children. But there are lots and lots of children who would like to hear this story.Dicey and her three siblings have come to live with their grandmother. Their mother is in a mental hospital; their father skipped out before Dicey's youngest brother, Sammy, was born.There are lots of problems to overcome. Dicey's sister, Maybeth, isn't learning like she should in school. James, Dicey's brother, hides how smart he is in order to fit in. Sammy gets into fights. People talk about and tease the children about Gram. Dicey, like Gram, has learned to feign indifference. The whole Tillerman clan slowly works on all these problems, talking together, singing together, making new friends, working, building a boat.Now I'm anxious to see what my readers of realistic fiction at school think of this book.

You get what you pay for!
|
I was expecting fairly decent quality with this disarticulated skeleton. I was sadly disappointed! The quality is terrible! One hand and one foot is tossed in loose, so you have numerous tiny bones stuffed in plastic bag. The quality is dreadful! There are mold lines everywhere. I didn't even finish unwrapping everything. I am sending this back as defective, because there is the strangest shaped rib in there. The human body does not include curly-q ribs of any sort. I am adding a photo of this strange rib. It is not even picture here, so I have no idea what happened to it. I've concluded that it is just defective.

Great book, Great information, Really makes you think
|
I get tired of people saying this is the same old information. It is not. When has any other diet book gone into such detail about digestion and how our bodies store and use fat? When have you ever heard the word Omentum before? This book really makes you realize what you are doing to your body with fat and sugar. It makes you WANT to eat better. It tells you WHY you should eat certain foods and what happens when you eat food. It's great. I have been following this plan, and it really works. You can eat, be satisfied, and not starve yourself. It has recipes, tells you what to order when you eat out, and puts you in control. I can't even consider eating a cookie after reading this book. If I look at one, I get images in my head of what my body will do with that cookie, and it's not pretty. This book has a scared straight appeal, and it really made me change my life.

The best concert video ever!
|
I was a minor Talking Heads fan before this video was shot, but didn't see it until around 1987, having rented it from a video place. It was and still is my all time favorite concert video. David Byrne, Tina, Chris, and Mr. Harrison are brilliant. The supporting musicians and singers? Simply awesome. From the bare stage begining of Psyco Killer, to Life During Wartime, and Crosseyed and Painless, every song is a work of musical art. This is no overly produced star fest. The music takes center stage. Jonathan Demme was supurb. I will probably never tire of watching this. A sure fire way to brighten your day. Even a non fan would probably be hooked to this! My favorite song is probably the second... Heaven Heaven is a place. A place where nothing, nothing ever happens....as the roll the set out to the stage. Brilliant

Prepare to get frustrated!

Indeed, it is an "all can do" machine. At least during the first months. We are a small business and use the machine only a few times a day. But after a few months we had a problem with ink lines being spread out on each page we printed out. The Brother people (help line) were very helpful but couldn't find a solution. I eventually came up with the idea to replace the Drum Unit. The problem was solved but two weeks later, we had the same problem all over again. Now I wouldn't mind that this Drum Unit was just a few bucks...the problem is that one of these Drum Units costs you A LOT MORE than the purchase price of the Brother MFC-4800. ............In a perfect world, you can take it to a service center that Brother suggests. But who can live without a fax, telephone and copier for a week? Not a normal business! !! Do yourself a favour, calculate your time, toner and drum unit costs into the price of a machine.A more expensive one might actually be cheaper in the long run.

Bes game EVER!!!
|
This game is by far my favorite game!! The battle system pwns!! Rather than just standing there waiting for your meter to fill up like it FF games you run back and forth hitting the buttons to attack, cast spells, gaurd, or open the menu!! PLUS it's 2 player! 4 player if you own a PS1 multi-tap!! The graphics aren't great... But I don't mind graphics as long as the game has good gameplay value. For all I care the people could be stick-men!! I also liked the BGM. And the story had me playing for hours just to know what happens next!! When I beat the game I said "WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE OVER?!?!?!?!?" So if you have the same taste in games as me you'll love it!

FANTASTIC!!
|
Finally, Finally, I've found a ball that my dog can't destroy!! HURAAY!! Keeping in mind, my dog, Barney, part Retriever/doberman, had destroyed tennis balls, soccer balls, footballs even a baseball. The kong ball is amazing! It's perfect for his size, not too big or too small. Since he hasn't devoured it, it's become his favorite new toy now. Everytime he goes outside he runs and gets the ball, brings it to me to throw and has a blast with it. The ball also bounces on hard surfaces, so that makes it fun and engaging for him too.Overall, I wish I had found this months ago. I'm am completely satisfied and so is Barney! Thank you KONG!!

100% awful.
|
I brought this, thinking it would be a nice minty, chocolate larabar. But I don't understand at all how many of the reviews says this tastes like chocolate, or like a brownie. It does not taste like chocolate. It doesn't taste like a brownie. Honestly, I had to run to the store and buy a box of mint chocolate after eating this, it was so bad. It had a horrible, gritty texture, was sickly sweet with all that....stuff that was in there. Either dates or agave.And it had not minty taste either. I swear I almost gagged. Gave some to a friend, she really did gag.Wont be buying this again. Ever. O.o

I just LOVE this!!
|
I wanted a really interesting knife holder and this really fit the bill. It's a really nice size and a dramatic statement! The knives exceeded my expectations, they're the best I've ever had. Extremely good quality. It comes in two pieces, you have to put the man into the base and then you're good to go. I ended up cutting my finger while taking one of the knives out of the sleeves, so be careful. The knives are very heavy and very sharp. I put them in the dishwasher all the time and they are still fine & do not rust. The slots for each knife is magnetic so they won't fall out. The statue is plastic and the color is a medium pink. I'm beyond happy with this purchase!

Review From A Teenager
|
I'm 16 years old, and i thought a lot of you might want a teen's perspective on this film. I first saw it when i was like, 8, but didn't understand it, so i decided to re-watch it a couple weeks ago. This movie is incredible. Al Pacino pulls off a cuban so well, i couldn't believe it. Thismovie is packed with some of the coolest scenes out of any movie. There's also a lot of dark humor tucked in some scenes. There is no other way to describe this movie, except incredible. It's a little on the gory side, but, all women i've known who have seen it have loved it. Michelle Pfiefer is incredible in this movie, but, she's always pretty good. WOW... WOW, If You Haven't Seen This, Check It Out!!

Nick Cage, You re the man
|
So good. So very, very good. Nick Cage is amazing in this. Simply amazing. Kaufman is glorious in all his genius. Cooper, my hat is off. Wonderful. Streep, my love, just beautiful. You are always so in tune and live. You re performances transcend the screen like none other. Brian Cox, you had me fooled for a good while and unable to tell yourself from McKee. Played perfectly and quite hilarious. I treasure your moments on screen.This is a 4 and a half, and damnit, with some sense I ll get over my treasured full five and give it out a little more often. And when I do this film will be getting a five first.Outstanding!

Only good for ice, not good for snow.
|
Okay, finally out east where I live we had our first storm. So I took out my new icedozer to try it out. I didnt realized its not wide nor very good for brushing snow off the car. I then used my 99 cent snow scraper to brush off the snow otherwise this icedozer would take me forever. While I tried brushing the snow off the car with the icedozer the brush fell off. I'd snapped it back on with no problem, but is it suppose to come off? For this price I would stay with those cheap snow ice brushes. Ergonomic on this is overrated. Stay with a hand ice scrapper and a snow brush. This is over priced and just a gimmick.Pros1)scrape ice off the door windows.Cons1)expensive2)small brush3)parts may fall offPS. I did use this on my door steps. It works well removing ice/snow.update.. was told brush can be removed, but by me or by itself?

Awesome Punk/Pop CD
|
I first heard of Simple Plan when I bought my MTV TRL Christmas CD. Their song, "My Christmas List" was really awesome. It sounded great and the lyrics were cool, funny, and catchy. I looked on the net for information on the band but I couldn't find any. But finally, a few months later I saw the video for Simple Plan's single, "I'm Just a Kid". I knew that I would have to get their CD. I got the CD right away and I can say that I've been really happy with it. Punk is my favorite music and Simple Plan is an awesome punk band. SP's music definently has to be some of the best pop/punk music I have ever heard. Every song on the CD is good. I've listened to this CD A LOT but I'm still not bored of it. I could easily listen to this CD the whole way through. I couldn't pick a favorite song off the CD but I can promise that every single one is awesome. I have three words left to say: Go buy it!

Are you kidding?
|
This movie makes no attempt whatsoever at a coherent story line, this movie has no point, no "moral", this movie is creepy, why would anyone recommend it? John Goodman does an unremarkable but adequate job as does Martin Short, but THIS MOVIE MAKES NO SENSE! are the crows good or bad? how did the professor get his technology? "let no bad happen" - where did that come from? is he God? What! a SCREW for an eye? what were these people thinking? what kind of message does this send? that animals are useless if they dont fulfill the needs and wishes of humans? the professor should have left the dinosaurs alone and Spielberg should have left this mess where he found it.

So much potential...
|
I would have given this book 5 stars except for how the ending turned out. I am really impressed with the author's creative skills and how she can weave a plot together. Overall, it seemed very interesting and plausible.I thought the greatest weakness was the ending. With so many possibilities, it seems like such a mild conclusion. I sense that possibly there will be a sequel and that this is not the last we have heard of Cat. Maybe that is why the ending is the way it is. Sort of like the ending to the first Lord of the Rings books. It just leads to something bigger and better.One question that I kept coming to at the end was "Why?".Why was everything so important and all the sudden it wasn't?It seems this book is more about the pursuit than actually getting it. Lots of things in life are like that. I guess I just wanted a bigger ending, that's all.

Better than Expected!!
|
I was always under the impression that it took days to dry foods, so I wasn't expecting much different when I bought this machine a few weeks ago. I could not have been more wrong! This thing is great! The first weekend we had it we dried apples, bananas, and strawberries. They all turned out great, but the apple chips were by far my favorite. Took about 10-12 hours to do all that fruit (5 trays worth). The best surprise was the next weekend we bought some round steak, sliced it real thin, and marinated it in the provided jerky seasoning/cure packets and in four hours, we had the best tasting jerky I have ever had. It was amazing! I've got the jerky gun on order now so I can try ground meat jerky too. I highly recommend this unit ... it was definitely worth the money!!

Lizzie McGuire meets MK&A
|
What can I say? When I was 12, I read the book and loved it. I leant it to my friends and they loved it. We were glad when we heard the movie came out. But we were dissapointed. What could have been an excellent movie was wreaked by the animated scenes, and the focus on the rock concert because she has a crush on the lead singer. Carla Santini was portrayed as being just a little mean when in the book she's much more.The book, had the movie been faithful to it, could have been as good as Mean Girls but right now it's just the Lizzie McGuire movie meets New York Minute, all played by Lindsay Lohan wearing feathers and a head scarf. I though that the girl who played Ella did a good job but Lindsay Lohan was just somehow out of sync when everything was going on. Hey, maybe I got so attached to the book that I just expected to much. But I recomend the book far more highly, if you're over 11. Happy viewing.

If it works well, don't redesign it!
|
I agree with others here. What was wrong with the old style? The new ones are all wrong -- both the dish drainers and the drainboards. The good old rubber-covered metal ones are the best. The new style, with the stupid hole in the end, where items can fall through into the sink, is just plain idiotic. The drainboards only come with the runoff area going the wrong way. They don't fit my sink and counter, and the dishes have to be racked back-to-front, instead of side-to-side. The traditional side-to-side method makes sense, but the new way makes you have to reach over some dishes to get to the others, making it easier to break some of them, especially if you have overhead shelves or cabinets nearby. Side-to-side is a logical progression. I think that none of the designers have ever washed dishes by hand. They all think that machines are supposed to do the work, wasting electricity, water, and soap. Duh!

Pass... or pass out

I've been using Art of Shaving sandalwood scented cream for a year now. Decided to try something new and less expensive and followed the good reviews here on Amazon.First impression upon opening the container was, whoa! Stinky stuff! There is a pleasant sandalwood aroma hidden in there somewhere, but you have to endure the strong chemical smell that surrounds it. Other reviewers have said the scent is strong, but I was skeptical. They weren't exaggerating. Its overwhelming. I used to enjoy shaving with my safety razor, badger brush and Art of Shaving cream. The smell was subtle and pleasant. This stuff is offensive, and very unpleasant to shave with. I find myself avoiding shaving because of the noxious odor. Worse, the smell lingers on my face.I'll give this cream a star for good lathering and another for value. But I can't go any further because of the offensive smell it gives off. Endured it for two weeks, now I'm ordering Art of Shaving again.

If the rumors are true, I won't be buying this.
|
Ok, greedo shoots first. Ok, the lightsaber is green. Ok, most of the ships have a white box around them. Ok, there is a dance number. Ok, the young Anakin shows up at the end of Return of the Jedi. Ok George, you finally got me. After defending Star Wars for years on end, you finally beat me. If Darth Vader starts talking before he slam dunks the emperor I will not buy your blu-rays. The part where he finally realized that Luke was right and there is good in him is the turning point of the trilogy (that's right trilogy). I was willing to buy the 6 disk set for the deleted scenes alone, but the HD transfer was too much. With the added dialog I will NOT buy them. They are your movies and you can do what you want with them, but it's my money and I can do what I want with it. Since you confirmed that this change is there, I'm keeping my money. You have disappointed a big fan, and ultimately that is where you get your money.

Waldo was a genius
|
This a really terrific album. I have had a smattering of his music a long time. I found him in a library (in vynil) way back in 1970. Back then I was over in Utapao, Thailand, fighting the Nam thing. Have loved and hoped to find this album ever since. Had some of it copied, poorly onto a cassette tape. Now thanks to Amazon.com I finally have the whole thing.One little caveat - Album was sent via UPS and some one must have sat on the package as the center holding finger were busted out and so disk is loose in the Jewel case. Have to handle very carefully. Going to replace jewel case as soon as I figure out how to remove the back label from the jewel case and get it in the new one.On the plus side I received the disk in record time (no pun intended). Service is really good from Amazon.com!!!

It's Alright
|
When you see an old flame after twenty years, there's a great deal of trepidation. After all, they've changed; you've changed. What still remains of what you once shared? It's sort of an encounter with yourself as you were back then. As a genuine ELO fan in my day, listening to ZOOM was this sort of experience. I almost wish I didn't know when I heard it that it's basically Jeff Lynne playing all the parts. Maybe it's me, but there seems to be a sameness to the sound. Flawless, but all the same. I really miss the band. However, the tunes are pretty good in a mellow sort of way. There are some real gems here, like "Just for Love" and "It Really Doesn't Matter", but nothing really knocks your socks off. I came away with the feeling that Jeff Lynne's back, but not ELO.

Wonderful, Healthy, and Smell Free
|
I love this item. A LOT! I can fit healthy size lunches (or dinners) and it stays hot/warm. I noticed people talking about the smells their containers picked up. I'm happy to say mine is smell free thanks to a trick a friend taught me. Place cabbage into it and let it sit over night (especially if you had something extra stinky). The cabbage absorbs the odor and the nasty smell is gone. (Don't eat the cabbage after though, it might taste a little funky.)If you are up for a unique approach to healthier eating, than this is for you. Traditional bento style meals are best. so if you prefer huge American sized portions, you might want to reconsider.

Reiki for Everyonr

I am working on my master's in mental health counseling. I will be using methods like meditation and Reiki in my practice. In the past people marketed Transcendental Meditation (TM) to make large sums of money. The concept of meditation was good but using it to bilk large sums of money from others was just wrong. Reiki is at a crossroads. People must decide if it is to be used just as a money making scheme or for the betterment of mankind. The concept of Reiki works. It has helped many people. But like TM some see Reiki as a way to make large sums of money off others. Steve Murray has taken Reiki and made it available to everyone at a fair price. His books and tapes work. Bravo Steve!

Borders on false advertising
|
With the excellent arcade reconstructions coming from Radica and Jakks Games, I was pleased to see Majesco jumping on the bandwagon, and promptly picked this one up. I am thoroughly disappointed. As someone else has said, these are probably NES ports. They are definitely NOT the arcade originals. Nowhere on the box does it say this. Maybe if you're a real game shark you could tell from the pictures on the box. I think that's a lot to ask of the typical consumer.Note that Majesco has also put out a sister product that contains Frogger, and nothing else (why?). Maybe if you buy it, you will get the real arcade version. I won't know, because I refuse to buy another Majesco product. Gamers everywhere, I urge you to write Majesco and let them know that this is NOT acceptable. We deserve better.

Great camera for the price
|
I've owned my Polaroid pdc1300 for a couple of months now and I am very happy with it. I actually bought a Kodak dc3200 ...just before I saw this one, but the pdc1300 was on sale ...with a ...rebate - I couldn't pass it up! So, I had time to test out the two cameras. They have similar features but the pdc1300 goes one better on a number of features: 1.) higher res photos 2.) USB and parallel download 3.) macro mode (photos are quite clear) 4.)Flash works great even close up - doesn't white out the subject 5.) Slightly larger LCD 6.) AC adapter included. Positives: Very easy to use, great pictures, great price. Battery life is actually pretty good if LCD is kept to minimal use. Some negatives: long delay when taking picture, no lens cap, indoor photos are a touch dark (but easily fixed with a bit of photo editing) while outdoor photos are slightly bluish, poor photo editing software.

Would Give It Minus Stars If Possible
|
This is a terrible toaster. I bought it when it was $20.99 and feel like I was cheated. How in the world can Oster put this little failure on the market and not be concerned about their reputation? Don't they even have a testing lab?I mainly toast bagels and wanted one wide enough to handle a thick cut. It's wide enough...just not deep enough. Now I have to rotate and flip to get an even toast (meaning I have to babysit this thing to get a decent result). I have no idea if the blue lights on the settings mean anything because nothing changes (marketing gimick?). The dial for light to dark is totally inaccurate and never produces a consistent result. Bagels and toast get stuck and have to be pried out. Don't waste your money. I was going to give this away after owning it for one week but I just can't do that to someone.

surprisingly weak
|
This movie was a surprise to me for all the wrong reasons. I was prepared for high drama and lots of twists and turns and a good dose of extra terrestrial fare. I got very little to none of that! This movie felt more like a continuation of the lives of Scully and Mulder more suitable to one of the TV episodes than a full length, action packed motion picture. The premise was weak....Russians? collecting body parts to prolong life? In West Virginia???...lol. And the only bit of supernaturalness was the chaplain's visions. Then there is the awkward sub plot of Scully and her patient that seemed really out of place with the primary story. Seems the title 'I want to believe' was less about believing in extra terrestrials and more about religious belief. The movie was very slow to boot and rather dull...about the only redeeming quality, was seeing David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise their roles as Mulder and Scully.

The Logitech LX3: a great mouse
|
It does what it's supposed to do. That's all I wanted. My main concern was to replace my Mighty Moue, which had horizontal scrolling. I love Apple computers, but the Mighty Mouse has a problem. The scrolling mechanism gets dirty and stops working. it can be cleaned, but eventually, may stop working, regardless. The Logitech is the answer. it was a relief going back to the more familiar scroll wheel. Gently push it sideways for horizontal scrolling. The only thing missing is the expose side buttons, but I don't mind hitting F9 instead - an insignificant trade-off for a superior product. Thanks, Logitech, for the best mouse I've ever used!

Vegetables in the moonlight
|
Lets start with Track 4, who augments a 3 chord? A diminished 2nd would have worked much better, or at least a 5th. I feel like i'm in preschool music theory class when i listen to the CD. They weren't even advanced enough to use a compound meter. This makes "Chopsticks" look like a masterpiece. They grow like a malignant vegetable in the darkness. Just as a child must eat its vegetables, one must forcefully listen to this CD. Consequently, a child is punished while they wait for the sun to go down with only vegetables remaining on their platter. Scars. I praythee, do not give your olfactory lobe smell the stench of those rotten vegetables.In conclusion, are you still reading this? Go listen to the music of the Goodbones. Dance. Sing. Live...in the moonlight?

Don't Bother

A review of 1 is being generous!!! I purchased this toy for my 4-year old as a Christmas gift. Wish I had read the reviews first and not wasted my time! The cans are almost impossible to get standing. All 3 cans tip back with little or no effort. The gun itself is even worse! Only if a child is as strong as an adult can they pull back on the plunger. Then it locks up so you cannot pull the trigger back no matter how old you are! If adults get frustrated with this toy, you know a 4 year old will. My 9 year old can't even get it to work~now that's sad!!!

Great Game But with Some Rough Edges
|
For those few people that have not had the privalege of playing the original Halo, Halo 2 must be absolutely amazing (and it is). For those of us that have been patiently waiting for the sequel, this game, while still wonderful, isn't quite the thrill of the original. For me, one of the few drawbacks to the original Halo was the rather drap, colorless environments. Well, they are back in Halo 2. The monotonous concrete corridors that your character is constantly walking through get a bit old after several hours. I hope the next Halo has better environments. That is, however, the ONLY critisism I have of this game. As others have noted, the plot wanders a bit, but that doesn't really bother me. The graphics are great, the cutscenes are pretty, the sound is truly fantastic. Most of all, this is a fun game. The extra disk has nice content on it.

Was I missing something here?
|
Um, it's not by choice that this has 1 star. I had no choice. I tried giving it a zero but that wasn't an option.Okay, so a deer spoke to this man. Maybe it was some type of allegory. Who knows? I wanted to put it down. Believe me, I did. However, I didn't want to miss the symbolism, if perhaps there was one. All I can say is "I didn't get it - the story that is." I wish I could say I didn't get the book either. Do yourself a favor, don't you get it.

Poor design for newborns
|
This is a beautiful bassinet but is lacking realistic features for a newborn. Bassinet reviews were all terrible, but I chose this one because I thought this had the least negatives. Here are the issues I found: 1. You cannot remove the cloth cover (which comes in direct contact with the baby) without disassembling the entire bassinet. There should be velcro or something so as not to require a screwdriver to do the laundry. 2. If the baby moves in the bassinet, it rocks on its own, often startling them. 3. The "mattress" is thin and too large for bassinet sheets, so you either buy a new mattress or have only 1 set of sheets, again making laundry difficult. On the pro side, it is easy to move, attractive, and relatively easy to put together. I would not buy this again. I would get a pack and play with a bassinet instead.

Dr. Atkins reincarnate
|
This is a book for men especially body builders. I'm old enough to have been around when the first Dr. Atkin's book came out and followed it religiously until I lost 20 lbs and my skin turned grey. He has a couple a good ideas but they are not worth the price of the book. The exercise program might be one of the better ideas. For the diet, you might as well resurrect 1972 Dr. Atkins who apparently is somewhat of a god to him. The program is extreme and unnatural. Did I mention boring? He would have you believe that the only way you'll derive nutrition is in a vitamin bottle. I do not recommend the dietary advice as sound nutritional advice. The star is for the PACE program for which there is a separate book. Otherwise, meet the second coming of Dr. Atkins

Completely unbelievable
|
If you are reading this book as an individual book, then it's okay I guess. If you are reading this book because it's supposedly in the series about Max and Jamie Holt, then don't waste your time. This book was absolutely ridiculous and completely unbelievable. I mean, really, two people who meet because a killer is coming to harm his old girlfriend fall in love, have sex and decide to get married in the span of 2 or 3 days? Come on now! And where the heck are Max and Jamie????? Isn't this series supposed to be about them?!?! They are trying to have a baby, but there is next to nothing in this book about them. I am VERY disappointed in the 5th and 6th books in this series. Full Bloom had little to do with Jamie and Max. Full Scoop has nothing to do with them. If Evanovich doesn't bring back the true characters in this series, then I'll not continue reading it.Overall, this book was silly and ridiculous. Completely unbelievable!

Phooey on Ms King

Pedantic. Boring. Waste of time. Shallow and trite characters. All the nasty events turn out well due to mere cirumstance.There is no mystery so there is nothing for Sherlock Holmes to do.Mark that statement: This author assumes the privilege of including Sherlock Holmes in the story line and he serves no purpose at all. No red herrings. No feints. No clues. No puzzles. A pathetic misuse of one of the great characters of mysteries and detective stories.This author successfully ripped off the buyers at my public library. Don't let her do it to you.bogiesan

Beware--Customer Service Doesn't Cut It!
|
We bought this one about 2 years ago. It worked fine with light use, however, I recently called customer service, thinking it was broken. The representative didn't want to help me try to figure what was wrong. Since it was out of warranty (1 year for this pricy processor), KitchenAid wouldn't fix it. The rep suggested I bring it or ship it to an authorized repair place. I live in Houston, Texas, one of the largest metro areas in the county. And the nearest KitchenAid repair place is 300 miles away! The rep basically said I was on my own and told me to find a local appliance repair shop.As it turns out (thank you hubby!) once in a while the parts don't lock into place, and it may seem like it doesn't work. Mea culpa. It's working again.Bottom line, my experience with KitchenAid's customer service and repair options was very disappointing, especially considering how expensive their appliances are. Won't buy from them again.

HA03 LAMP MODULE DIES!!!
|
Do not buy these lamp modules. I thought Intermatic was quality stuff and bought the HA07 controller and 3 HA03 lamp modules. All three of them died in about 6 months or so. I tried everything to make them work. If I press the button , the green light just blinks and the module doesn't turn on. On one of the lamp modules, the green LED doesn't even blink if I press the power on it. All three have the same problem after several months. I wasn't even connecting any high voltage equipment.I tried emailing them , no response at all. Plus when I tried to log on to the site, it errors out. No homepage! Need to find some better quality Home automation.

Laugh out loud funny!
|
I have only been a follower for a few months now, only because I had pretty much given up on comic strips the last few years. My father told me about it and I've been hooked ever since! I decided to go back to the beginning to get a better feel for the characters. This is by far the funniest book I have read in a long time. This rivals Calvin and Hobbes in it's hilarity (in my opinion). I found the authors comments both informative and entertaining. This is a must read for anyone that enjoys Pearls! My only complaint is the quality of the binding of the book. At about page 150 I was reading it with it open on the floor and the binding came apart. Kind of bummed about that because it's a nice looking cover and wanted to add it to my bookshelf. Oh well...That being said, I'll be ordering the next collection in order to keep getting caught up!

don't buy refurb
|
I bought a refurb WPN824v2 from Tiger Direct via Amazon. I thought I could save a few bucks; ~$20 compared to a Linksys WRT54G2. Sadly, I have gotten ZERO uptime since the unit arrived. It gets stuck during the configuration process and keeps power cycling by itself. I've reset it and tried again many times over a sleepless night. It's obviously not normal behavior so I'm returning the unit. I got an RMA# from Tiger Direct, but they don't pay for return shipping. I'm guessing they also won't refund the original S&H; so now I'm down $15 with a lot of frustration to go with it.Lessons for today: Don't get a refurb router, there's just too much flakiness in these devices that a bad unit can easily get sent back out to some loser (like me). If you insist, check first if the vendor pays for return shipping. And obviously, these refurb Netgear routers must have originally gone out at full price to someone else's grief. I'd just stay away altogether.

Read Me If You Haven't Gotten Pregnant!
|
Toni Weschler did a superb job of informing the average women how to take control of their fertility. The book is well written, easy to understand and empowering. However, after reading all the success stories in her book - and on this review list - I want those of you out there to know that not all women get pregnant after one or two tries. I have been trying for seven months. But, don't lose faith! Your time will come, just like I believe mine will. I am thinking about writing a thesis on the subject of "waiting to get pregnant". If you've been trying, but haven't gotten pregnant, please email me with your thoughts so I can include you in my study: [email protected]. Thank you so much. And keep using Toni's method. It's still the best chance to get pregnant - along with a little prayer :) P.S. My gynocologist says it takes the average person one year to get pregnant.

So easy... so small... so right!!!

I do not claim to be a technology expert. But I trust the judgment of those who share their experiences. And I did extensive research before purchasing this camera. I needed one for my mom's 60th birthday party, so the option of failure was ZERO. My experience... Phenomenal!!! So easy to use that my 16 year old cousin, with no instructions from me, was able to record and take pictures simultaneously. I was able to play it back that same night for my family with no stumbling for the manual or confusion over cords (which ALL necessary cords are included). Simply stated... it can't get any easier than this. I'm looking forward to doing my own editing through the computer. Sorry Mr. Professional Videographer... but I got this one!!!

Cyberetarded
|
I fully agree with reviewer Michael J. Laramee's renaming of this as "The Cyberetard." Lem is my favorite author, but I quit reading this after the 3rd story. Maybe the humor is simply untranslatable into English, but a bright grade schooler could have written this. The 1st 3 stories were just...stories. Dull stories with no deeper meaning and not even a punch line. I don't get it. And anyone who compares this to Hitchhiker's Guide is a Vogon of particularly low IQ even for a Vogon.You know what it reminds me of? Unpublished stories written by famous authors before they were famous, slapped together by a publishing company in order to make a quick buck (or in this case, zloty). See, e.g., I. Asimov's "Buy Jupiter."Ya know, not ONE of the reviewers who thought this was deep or just funny was able to explain one example of a scene that was deep or funny. I challenge you to do so!

Awful
|
This is the biggest piece of junk movie. The NEW YORKER MAGAZINE critic said that Barry Levinson had found his footing again with this film, after failing with RAIN MAN. A movie that is a lot better than RAIN MAN??? Wow, I thought! Gotta see it!! Considering this movie wonderful, while considering RAIN MAN lousy, should get that NEW YORKER critic banned from criticism for life. Barry Levinson's weakness is he LOVES incidental moments. And this movie is one incidental, uninvolving, moment after another. He must have thought Andy Warhol's movie SLEEP, that is literally a film of someone sleeping for six hours, was rivetting. Actually, I think I'd rather watch SLEEP than JIMMY HOLLYWOOD. And I like Joe Pesci. And, no, the Harrison Ford cameo at the very end is not worth sitting through this movie for. This movie is the definition of "tedium."

The Worst Wes Craven Flick
|
This movie started out okay. I actually enjoyed the first 45 minutes or so. Seemed like a pretty decent slasher flick. I even liked how the main character interacted with the killer through his dreams and had to be woke up before he got killed. Very reminiscent of Nightmare on Elm St. But after they caught the killer and executed him by the electric chair and he became an electro ghost killer (for lack of a better phrase) the movie just got flushed down the toilet. I think I dropped a whole star after the scene in the tv. It doesn't get much more horrible than that. I don't mind cheese in horror flicks. Its common. But I literally felt embarassed in front of the other people watching this with me cuz I rented it. I bet Craven doesn't put this one on his resume. 2 stars for the first 45 minutes that were okay.

Good, but not Great, like Seasons 1-3
|
First, I need to get this out of the way: I loved seasons 1 & 2. They got me into the series and made me love the characters. I hope they're released soon. (I mean, wth? Where are the first two? Why start with 3?) Okay, now that I have that out of my system...This is an excellent collection. You can't fault the DVD in any way. They did a good job. I have no problems with the way the DVD was put together.Now for the content. This portion of the storyline is very cohesive. It's edgy and fun. Sometimes it seems like they try too hard, but other times, you see the early humor of the series come into play. This portion ties up a lot of loose ends and questions that fans had, but it also creates new ones. That's good, though.Overall, it's not truly great, as I feel seasons 1 and 2 were, but season 3 stands on its own if you know the characters already.

Hoped for more
|
I had just completed my last final exam of an 11 year "return to college". Imagine my delight as I sat down & turned the TV to Oprah to see her introduce her latest book club selection! Finally a chance to read something without having to hold a highlighter in my right hand. But what a disappointment I was in for! I couldn't understand any of the characters. How could Jo & her husband be together when they seemed to value different things? I couldn't imagine a group of young people living together in the 1960's being more uptight than this group was. Dana sounded like an annoying, people pleaser, who never heard the word "boundary" before. Eli was pompous, shallow & weak. The ending of the story was frustrating & made me glad when the story was over. As someone who has missed reading for pleasure for many years, I hope this choice isn't indicative of Oprah's other Book Club selections.

I didn't know what I was getting into
|
I picked up this book off the library's new book shelf. I had not heard the hype or any publicity about it. I love it! I was sorry when it ended and now I find it's a trilogy! For once, I'm thrilled. I want more. It was inventive, colorful, and twisty. I was surprised to find it was the author's first book. I look forward to more of Scott Lynch as well as Locke Lamora. I thought it might make an interesting movie. I am not sure what Hollywood will do with it, I hope it does not dissapoint the fans if it ever gets made.

A real winner - read this!
|
Just a short observation. Read this first in June of 1977 and recalled it as excellent. Just finished reading it again and had to comment. The main characters love triangle - Grant, wife Marie and love Anne, is well developed. However, if written today, I must believe Grant would have crawled home to wife and beg forgiveness instead of ending up with Anne. Also interesting that heros smoke and drink freely. Today, only the villians would indulge. Interesting that a novel written in the 70's would be more 'liberal' than the 'politically-correct' books of today! An outstanding work. Would make a great movie. Indulge.

Great , but not as great as it seems.

I like this pixel chix mall, but many people didn't like this one. Some people were over reacting, because they said "I did all there was to do in 5 minutes." I like my mall, but i've done basicly everything. I don't care, i love it. It's a fun thing to do when you're in sick, traveling, or bored. I think they over estimated it just a little. I think there should be levels, like someone metioned. It's odd how people like the other mall SO much more than this mall. Well, i might buy the food court and boutiqe one and connect it to the other. I think the recomended age should have been for 6-12 cause i'm 11 and i just got it. I still like the mall better than the car and i think the house too. I enjoy this toy and it's fun, but if you get it... know it's not quite as good as it seems.

Very Disappointing
|
I was very disappointed with this film. The movie had no definite direction. The music and the sound effects overrode the actors speaking most of the time. There was so much background music playing that there was not enough silence to even have a remotely scary scene. I expected much more from this movie. I would ignore the 5 star comments on this page. I based my interest off those comments to go see the movie. They had to of been made up comments or people with bad taste in movies. I feel like I wasted my money seeing this film. I think that the rest of the audience felt the same way. There was no response to the film from the audience the entire time. I'm just very disappointed.

Still essential Obsessed
|
If you love music, you own every Obsessed album. You have every Spirit Cavavan album. You have every St. Vitus CD with Wino on it. You have the new Hidden Hand album. You have the Place of Skulls album with Wino. And you don't have Incarnate yet? What's the problem? OK, I took off a star because of the sound quality issue of some of these salvaged tracks, but really. There are some classic songs on this CD. And since you have all the other stuff, it's time to get this CD. Wino rules, OK.

The best bib we own!
|
My son wears 12-18 months clothes so I wasn't sure if this bib would fit him. It does and it will for a while. It's the best bib I have ever owned. It covers him, it's light weight, and it's super easy to clean. I rinse it with soap and water and it air drys in about one hour. It's dry in more than enough time for the next meal or snack. I also throw it in the washing machine every few days. It's very sturdy. My son loves spaghetti and all the foods that make the biggest messes. This bib keeps him clean. I highly recommend it and the next bigger size as he grows - we have both!

Worth your time & money...
|
I have never written a review on Amazon, because I never felt committed to defending or criticizing the spending of someone else's money. I am breaking my own rule today, because this film deserves it. This is a film that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. It deserves the right to be celebrated as a cinematic masterpiece. Plain and simple: "The Fountain" is perfect. The effects, the drama, the chemistry of the actors.To give this film one star or two stars because one "didn't get it" is a travesty. I "got it" the first time I saw it. It's about life and death, true love, our own egotism and our worst fears. It's about acceptance, regret and loss. It's about life; the universal struggles that we each go through, today or two-thousand years from now.Don't deny yourself the privilege to experience this film. It is worth it.

This album has stood the test of time
|
I first bought this album when I hosted "The Mellow Sounds" (an all-metal program) on KXLU-FM (88.9 in LA) in the mid-70s. While there are more than a few records I have trashed since then, Hawkwind still does it for me, and I'm sure other Friends of Jef™. They were unique then, they still are 30 years later. Got to love that Mellotron! Great tunes to "space out" to. I've long since copied my vinyl to MP3 and was playing it at work. All these young pups are going "wow - great music. Who is it?".If you're new to Hawkwind, as other reviewers have said, you just can't go wrong with Hall of the Mountain Grill! It kicks! Long live Beenzon Toste!

Scam seller

I am really surprised that FLEXSUPPlY is allowed to sell on Amazon. I have been buying from amazon for a long time and this is the first time that I have encounter a seller like this. Do they think that people are not smart. I purchased 2 boxes of Uniball pens for 13.00 dollars and FLEXSUPPLY send me 2 single pens. How can they think that 2 pens will be this price. They probably do this thinking that some people would not follow up. This is a crooked practice and they should be band from Amazon. Do NOt buy from this seller., Save yourself some stress. Ps I did get a refund and the same ad is still on this site. The ad should come down. No one would buy 2 pens for 13.00 dollars.

This album brings lots of memories back into my mind.We were this album. We (venice boys)lived it ,day in and day out. It was some of the best times and also some of the very worst times too! Still, I dont have to attempt to relive any of it.Thanks to Mike,Rocky ,RJ,and last but not least ...THE O.G. S.T bassist ...LOUIE! ,I dont have to. This album takes me back to those days (Los Cycos,No/Mercy,crazy days),all on its own. Everytime I hear Suicidal Maniac .....Im right there allover again. Trust me when I tell you people out there this....At the very least , this album is not bull-s..t.. This is one of the most honest albums of all time!

Finally, a (help me, I am normal) book for creative genius.
|
"The Pyramid and the Plum Tree" section needs to be read by every company head that needs creative individuals. Motivating creative people is tuff, but Gordon makes it seem like a dream ride. It was refreshing to see a creative person's point-of-view for a change. Finally, someone has the guts to tell it how it is! I read this book during a major power outage with a battery powered book light. In total isolation and in the dark I couldn't stop reading and experiencing this great book. In the dark, I became the creative guru that has been buried inside of me for years! In the next few days I was asked to attend a meeting with my fellow employees. To the horror of my boss, I burst forth telling them I was a creative genius and if given the time I could show them the total genius I really am. Everyone looked at me like I was loony, but I felt exhilarated and ready to take on anything that came my way. Gordon, thanks for waking me up.

Frankenstein Creates a Boring Woman
|
The most interesting thing about this DVD was that it wouldn't play on my DVD player. When it was inserted into the Sony 7000 it said "Insert Disc". But it plays fine on my PC. Was it a quirk or the curse of Frankenstein? Speaking of "The Curse of Frankenstein" that's the Hammer film that I want on DVD; it's a classic rivaling the Boris Karloff films from the 30s. As horror films go this one won't make it past mediocre. If you can sleep without a night light there's nothing here that will horrify. Another turn off is that it violates truth in advertising. Susan Denberg appears scantily clad on the front and back covers leading one to believe that she might reveal something of herself in the movie. Hardly! She spends all of her on camera time dressed like Grandma Moses with a cold. Keeping her boyfriend's head is a touch that Mary Shelly would have appreciated. When her husband Percy drowned she cut out his heart and kept it with her for the rest of her days.

REAL Men don't even READ books, let alone WRITE them
|
This guy writes a book about MANLINESS and he's a HARVARD PROFESSOR??? Can he clear brush like Our President? Can he talk about NASCAR? Can he change out the plugs on his pick-up? If not, he knows nothing of MANLINESS! Everyone knows that REAL men are contemptuous of books and the pansies who read and write them. You want MANLINESS?? Go to a bar and start a fight, then. Watch some sports on TV and do a sixpack and then another sixpack. Clear some brush like Our President.I trust I make myself clear. I'm MANLY. And I don't need a fancy pantsy book to tell me about it.This extra Y chromosome is driving me CRAZY!

Depressing
|
I read the book from cover to cover. It's really a depressing book. I always had the hots for this man. I think he was a talent and very good looking man. I've been depress this past year. My lover didn't want me, He used me. I was used by my friends. I had no one to turn too. I have to take care of my sick mother. But I know Drugs is not the answer. When I was growing up I was treated like dog doo. I had nothing! I was offer many times drugs when I was young, But I had my self respect not touching them. My grandfather had a say, The differents between an animal and a human is, A human has a brainto think first!

"Soule" is Right...
|
I just ordered her CD becuase I saw the re-mix contest on acidplanet.com. I can't believe how cool it is. There's only one tune I don't like on the whole album, which is really good becuase I'm picky about my music. The songs are very musical and passionate. I just love her voice. And she's doing one thing really well that you don't see too much of anymore (at least not in pop-style music like this) and that's writing really deep lyrics. The only (maybe) bad thing is that there is a lot of variety of styles on the album. Which is something I love but maybe it makes it too diverse for the general public. (?)Overall, though, great songs, great voice, nice production. This is probably the best indie album I've heard in a year or more.Bob

Not Again
|
I will not buy this coffeemaker again. My husband and I enjoy waking up to fresh coffee every day. We also grind the beans ourselves each night. It looks nice sitting in its special place on the kitchen counter. After awhile, we noticed that our formica countertop bubbled up underneath it caused by the heat generated from the coffeemaker. No problem, we set it on a platform. The grinder quit after 6 months. No problem, we bought a coffee grinder and continued. After 1 year the handle came off of the coffee pot. No problem, we bought a replacement coffee pot. Now after 2 years and 2 months the programmable timer quit, meaning that not only did we miss out on coffee when we awoke but, it would not even brew at all. No problem, we bought a Mr. Coffee. Problems solved.

The worst portable DVD player ever!
|
We purchased two of these DVD players on Friday and returned them on Sunday because they are the worst portable DVD players that I have ever purchased. One unit wouldn't close all the way when you put a DVD into it, and the other one kept freezing while my daughter was watching a movie. Every time it would freeze, it would not only freeze the movie, but all the buttons on the player and on the remote. We had to unplug it and start the movie over. We even tried 4 other movies to be sure that there wasn't a defect with the DVD. No, it was the player. Not to mention the remote didn't work well unless it was practacally touching the player, it also would take a rocket scientist to figure out the remote. There are 39 buttons on the thing. Please don't waste your money on these players. The price may be good, but we learned our lesson. You get what you pay for.

His Own Opinion
|
I haven't read the whole book yet, but as I'm progressively reading it I do not agree with what he is insinuating. In one part of the book he is basically saying that niceness is connected to anxiousness. Just because a person is nice doesn't mean that they will have more anxiety. God is a nice God, but he is perfect and has no anxiety. So, I disagree with this and many other things Dr. Burns is saying. I appreciate his help in the book but it isn't affective to me. He says that if you surround yourself with you fear without a way of escaping it you would conquer your fear. That is not true. Some people faint or pass out when they have no way out. He says things you want to hear but things that may not be true for most people. I was expecting to read this book and my anxiety would melt away. That is far from true. To me, this book is a joke.

Save your money!
|
We burned through 2 Magic Bullets in a fairly short amount of time. Now I'm left with all the cups, blender attachment, juicer attachment, etc. After learning that most blenders work with either a standard or wide mouth mason jar depending upon brand, why not just buy a case of mason jars at your local grocer or retailer and attach that to your blender? If you want mugs Ball makes Mason Mugs, they're only $8-10 a dozen. You can even try your Mayo jar! All you do is fill the mason jar with ingredients, attach the bottom of the blender to the mason jar, and set it on your blender base and turn it on. Basically the Magic Bullet is a blade, a motor, and a small jar. You can get that in a blender for less money. The juicer function is worthless, and it doesn't come with this set anyway. I could have saved myself a ton of money if I had just purchased the mason jars. Lesson learned.

The Fourth Hand
|
Very pleased. I couldn't put the book down. Another Irving book that makes you wonder where the hell he got some of these ideas. Doesn't matter. Go read it. I don't care what detailed reviews say (sure there are ways to disect the book). I don't care. It's just another very good book by Irving. So go read it. Worthy enough to splurge on the hardback to add to your library shelf. Maybe even with some spot lighting on it.

Melancholy Baby
|
I enjoyed the movie. The lead actress is suffering from melancholia. I always wondered what it would be like to be depressed. Michelle Williams helps yousee for yourself. There are hysterical laughs along the way. The pool scene with the Richard Simmons act-alike. Then there was deep spiritual romanceanother pool scene. Wow! This movie takes deep thought but it is more than it seems on several levels. If you expect entertainment....you might bedisappointed, but if you watch it without expectation you will find substance. You'll find what she was searching for: laughter, joy, connection and love.Michelle Williams is one talented actress. Sarah Silverman (I love her because she is a liberal Democrat) Seth Rogen was good too. Savor this movie.

I have used this book for over two years helping others improve their English
|
I have been using Improving Spoken English for over 2 years. I teach accent reduction classes as well as individual sessions. I use this book as a foundation. There are two units. The SECOND unit deals with the 15 VOWELS sounds. Most people think of the 'sounds' as what they need to learn to be able to speak English so Americans can understand them better. But, really, even if you use the right 'sounds', but you speak some words too quickly, others will understand you as saying another word. For example, if you say "each" too quickly it will sound basically like "itch". "Green" will sound like "grin", "paper" will sound like "pepper" and "Luke" will sound like "look". The best part of the book is the 'key word system' to learn the vowels. "See It, Say Yes, Fat bird, Bus stop, Two books, No Law, and My Cow boy...

Great computer but runs too hot!
|
The best computer I've ever bought. It's gorgeous and fun to use. I am actually proud to use this computer. I used to have a Dell and I hated it. My Dell looked like a brick and was full of spyware and viruses.It's a great feeling to never have to worry about viruses or spyware.I miss the right and left click mouse buttons though. Not sure why the Macbook just has one button. And the computer is very uncomfortable on my lap because of the heat. I usually have to place a towel underneath it. I would give it 5 stars if it did not heat up like a furnace on my lap.I definitely recommend purchasing this computer, if you are a PC user and are fed up with viruses and spyware. You won't miss the PC after about 2 months of using the Macbook. Join the Mac side. it's worth it!

Michael Corey is a fat loser.
|
You'd think that with all his education and "expertise" he would have been a professor at a prestigious university, perhaps Harvard or Princeton. But no, never...at least not according to his CV. In fact he's done more work on why men cheat on this wifes/girlfriends than on religion. I love how one reviewer (probably Corey's mommy) wrote, "I marvel when I thumb throgh [sic] the bibliographies in the back of your books. You are the scientific equivalent of Bach." "the scientific equivalent of Bach?" are you kidding me? Wow, he has extensive bibliographies, that's amazing, if only his arguments and reasoning were as extensive and impressive. If Michael Corey were the "scientific equivalent of Bach" he'd be well respected in the scientific community, which I can find no evidence of. And, by the way, Christian freak scientists don't count, because they will defend Corey because he defends their silly faith. In summation, Michael Corey is a fat loser.

Terrible Rip Off
|
I have tried 3 of these irons and non of those currently sold by Target work. The first quit heating after a few uses. The local Target was very cooperative and exchanged it. The second unit didn't work out of the box. The unit's auto shutoff feature would shut the iron off after a couple minutes usage - even while it was being used. At the risk of being pretty naive, I again exchanged the iron. The third did the same as the second. So, this time I called the manufacturer, Euro-Pro. They wanted me pay to have the iron repaired and indicated that it would take 8-10 WEEKS to get the unit returned. It is too bad that their quality control is so bad because, when the iron works, it does a quite good job. This is a bad company making a very inferior product.

Sick, twisted, and incredibly funny
|
My wife won't let me watch this DVD when she is in the house. I also find much of this program to be disturbing. But it is also very, very funny. I am constantly amazed by the skill of the principal actors/writers who are able to create and portray incredibly detailed and interesting characters. If you have a strong stomach, and like to laugh, this is a great DVD to buy.BTW, after inquiring to BBC America, they told me that they currently have no plans to release season 2 in the States. C'mon BBC, give the people what they want: Season 2!!!UPDATE MAY 18, 2005: I've seen that BBC now has plans to release all three seasons of League of Gentlemen, plus the Christmas special, in a single box set. In such a character driven show, I can't wait to see how it all wraps up. . . FINALLY!!!

What a camera!
|
I've had a couple of digital cameras in the past. None of them was half as good as s200 in terms of performance and exterior design. S200 has a solid metal case which makes it both rigid and looking good. It is very easy to hold. Yeah, sure it is the smallest camera around but controls are definitely not crammed together. The pictures it takes are vivid in color and simply outstanding in clarity. The LCD on the camera is very clear under bright sunlight. I don't know how they did that but no camera I've seen came close on this. The battery life is also very good. It takes only two hours to fully recharge the battery. And it has Chinese language option! Which isn't really all that important to me but it's a plus I can use my camera in my own language. Overall this is a amazing buy. I have countless gadgets and this is certainly one of the most satisfying. The only con I can think of is the price at futureshop for this camera. Cheers.

Well structured book for beginners
|
Well, I do think that the comments on the book relies a lot on the reader's background(previous experience). I programmed with several programming languages such as BASIC, FORTRAN and C/C++ before. But I had no experience with Visual Basic at all. So I bought this book to self-study VB. I compared many books on VB, this book is definitely very well structured and easy to follow. It does not go deep into some specific topics such as Data Management with VB, Web Programming with VB, and OOP with VB etc. However, this book does cover the foundamentals. After practicing with VB for a while, I have purchased other more advanced books on VB. However, I still come back to this book often. This book may not be good for those who are experienced with VB, neither those totally new to programming. However, it should be a good book for those who are new to Visual Basic. Good luck!

Sharp Portrait Lens, Fast, w/ Macro
|
This lens has been my primary shooting lens for the last three years on my Nikon D50. The only use left for my my kit lens "AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G ED" is as an 18mm wide angle. This Sigma 50mm f/2.8 prime lens is very sharp. I use it as a portrait lens on my cropped DX sensor camera (eq. 80mm on a full frame FX sensor). It also works great in low light. For portraits, I set f/5.6 if I am only 3-4 feet away. If I am 6-9 feet away I use f/4. You can try to use f/2.8 close-up but you are taking a chance, as the depth of field is so narrow that you might have the eyebrows sharply in focus and the nose and ears blurry. This lens is also very durable. On the negative side, focusing is not super-fast, but that didn't bother me, so I say go for it.

One of the best soothing toys for babies I've found!
|
This soother is awesome. It didn't even make it all the way to my house in the box! I got it at babies r us (the store) and I had it out of the box and turned on before we came close to our home. As soon as my two month old saw the birdies and the lights and heard the music, she was absolutely captivated. She loves her aquarium, and now she has birds to love, too. Even my two year old loves it! And the projector feature is great, too. I'm amazed at how well the image shows up on our popcorn ceilings, but it's crystal clear. I think I'll be hanging on to this for a looong time! I still use my Ocean Wonders Aquarium, and even the Peaceful Planet smaller fishbowls. Both my girls love all of their soothers. Fisher Price is THE BEST baby company...well, Graco ties with them for best!

Troy Lite
|
I echo the other comments made here. From the packaging, it was unclear to me that one of the discs was only about Sparta. That is the more interesting disc, but not what I was looking for here. It seemed familiar because I had seen it on TV not too long ago.The disc on Troy is totally disappointing. The Nimoy show (Ancient Mysteries) is chaotic and tries too create too much . . . well, mystery. I watched the third show on the disc a couple of days later and I was having a deja vu experience - the pictures and the script were often identical; just a different narrator! Ouch! That is a rip off. The second show, on the gold of Troy, was interesting, but the 10 minutes of content are excruciatingly dragged out over 45 minutes of show.

Not Emma's Best
|
and not really Anthony's, either. I borrowed the VHS from a friend anticipating a lovely, two-hour or so film with rich, well-developed characters, beautiful scenery, and a riveting storyline. I guess one out of three's not bad.Howards End promises a lot but underdelivers. With Emma Thompson, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Helena Bonham-Carter in the lead roles, one expects a more interesting film or at the very least, an exciting climax. One gets neither. This film plods along for over two hours, much like an overworked carthorse stumbling through the English countryside. By the end, all one wants is some oats and a night's sleep in the barn. What disappointed me most was Bonham-Carter's performance. She is much better at edgy hysteria than what she shows here.Even the climax was dull. (In case you still want to see this film, I won't give it away.)In this reviewer's opinion, if you want a good Merchant Ivory flick, watch A Room with a View instead.

Loved him until I listen to Bill Hicks
|
Ok, first off, I'm not writing a bad review about Leary because he isn't funny, it's because he uses stolen material. I was a Leary fan since I heard No Cure for Cancer 3 years ago, and this summer I was buying Lock n Load, and this guy working there told me if I wanted real comedy, get a Bill Hicks CD. The only one they had was Rant in E Minor. The guy told me Denis had stolen Bill's material, some word for word, and some disguised. Since then I feel sick listening to Leary do Bill's material. I have to admit Leary is funny, but if you want the real deal, start listening to Hicks. If you are smart and take my advice DO NOT get the Best of Bill Hicks, because there is no best of Bill Hicks. Everything he says is genius."You have to admit beliefs are odd. A lot of Christians wear crosses around there neck to represent Jesus; do you think when Jesus comes back he's ever going to want to see a that [cross] agian?" - Bill on Christianity.

At 36,000 feet you can't just walk out of the theatre.
|
If this was the film that was playing, I think I would give that walk a go. This has to be the worst film that Jodie Foster has ever done, and not because her acting was poor. On the contrary, she was fine for the role; however, the writing and plot were terribly formulaic. From the second of the aforementioned quote it was evident to see where the film was headed, and it did not derail from the predestined outcome. While the premise was frightening, the thriller aspect of this film just did not convey. In fact, it came across flat out hokey in several spots. I adore both Foster and Sarsgaard, but how many times has she played a victimized overprotective mother, exactly? Often enough that she should have it down by now--and she does. Sarsgaard, though, seemed bored with his lines, all but delivering them between yawns. The only real star in this film was the six year old daughter, played by Marlene Lawston. Too bad she had so little time.

Terrible Game!!!!
|
This game doesn't even deserve 1*. First,the product desciption says there are 8 lanes,but I only find 2. Also,you can only bowl right-handed. The graphics are good but the sound effects are bad,only here ball rolling and pins falling. This is if the background music is off. I don't like music in a game. The ball seems to roll slowly down the lane. There are no replay functions of camera angle functions. Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling has all these,and is a much beeter game. I beg you not to buy this game!!! I am trying to return mine to the company.

QB Mac is not what you are expecting
|
I've used the PC version for nearly 10 years and was very happy with QB. I switched to a Mac platform over a year ago and finally moved to QB for mac. I was hesitant based upon the reviews. The reviews were correct. Don't waste your money on this mac stepchild of a program. It locks up more than any other mac program I have ever run and the payroll is terrible. On the pc version you have control over your payroll with the tables you download. Not with the mac version, you subscribe to a service. I have had problems copying files from the third party service to the QB register. They are aware of the problem and their "developers are looking into a solution" Don't waste your time and money if you can hold on to the PC version. Its obvious intuit doesnt' want to put much investment into mac right now.

The one film I watch once every year
|
I'm not going to say that Wings of Desire is the best film ever. I'm not even going to say it's in the Top 10 of all time. I will say that it may be the film that most touched me inside; to this day, it is the ONLY film that I choose to watch at least once every year.... There is no middle ground with this movie, and that's one mark of a classic.To me, the movie is one of the most humane and warmly existential movies I've ever seen; probably the most. ... It asks big questions. It is not obvious. It allows the audience to participate in the thoughts and desires of its characters. It is a sublimely patient film. And, it looks fabulous to boot, with great performances.I love this movie. ...
