Killer Klowns From Outerspace is a better movie.
This movie is so bad, so very bad. I thank god that I didn't spend money to watch this movie. I tried to like it. I liked the first movie, even though it was a bit cheesy. The second ST is just horable. Just so bad. I don't even know where to start. I think that a lot of other posters described most of the reasons it just SUCKS so I let you read them. If you want to watch it and give it a go, go right ahead, but don't say you weren't warned. The only people with brains shut off enough to enjoy this movie are either in a coma or dead. Either way at least they don't have to see this movie. If you are really looking to spend some money on sci-fi try Firefly.

a mystery
You never can tell who's going to be a hit with the public and who isn't. Lara Fabian has an incredible voice and isn't bad looking either. She's a star in Canada and Europe but most folks here don't even know her name. This album was supposed to be her introduction to America but it failed. Why? Who knows? The songs are a pleasant blend of power ballads and pop which was quite popular at the time. My only small nitpick is that Lara didn't sound like she was really comfortable singing in English. It sounds a little like she had no idea what the lyrics actually meant.So, is this album worth buying? Yeah sure if you love Celine Dion or Mariah Carey (before she got hooked on Hip Hop) and you want lush, romantic music. It's a mystery why Lara caught on here. I'm hoping the studio bosses will give another try.

Great alternative to the water bag device. Lots of power
This product is a great alternative to the over the door traction device with the water bag. Not cumbersome, easy to use, and lots of power. There has only been one time that I think I put a little too much traction on and I got a headache later. I have a history of cervical stenosis and arthritis in my neck and spine. Spondylosis. My doctor wrote me a prescription for an "over the door traction device". Unfortunately, the home health care pharmacy didn't carry this product, just the water device. This is so much bettter product. I have solid doors,(old house) but the stories of the hollow core doors were a bit scary, I mean, I put a LOT of torque on mine. I would be afraid the door brace would go through my head if it came off my door! Just an exaggeration of course, but that is how strong it is to me (I'm a female)

Great Idea, Poor Follow-through
I have read many books of this genre, more than one of Mr. Holzer's. This is by far his worst work. The biggest problem is the way that he writes. It is apparent in his other books, but not as prominent. He comes off as if he is the world's best ghost hunter and that his opinion's are fact. Many times he states in the book that he doubts and discredits any person that hasn't in the past had some kind of psychic occurence. There is no history to any "haunt". He and his medium are the only credible people in any story. My overall consenus is that he is getting old and is trying to cash in on a few more books. there was no thought or follow through, just cocky, arrogant fatigue in this book. If you want to read a real good ghost book, check out Citro.

One Star Rating is Generous
This gadget is lucky to get a one star rating from me. It is a dud. As the previous reviewer already noted, the darn thing overflows with water and makes a mess no matter what level of ground coffee you place in the filter basket. In addition, the brewed coffee you get is very weak (watery). Perhaps you have to use a specific size grind to get this thing to work. Since I use packaged ground coffee as a convenience, I cannot adjust the size of the grind; and do not feel I should have to experiment by having to buy whole beans and grind them myself. Therefore, this product is out of the realm of consumer friendliness. Sorry Keurig. It is a shame you released this product to the consumer market. Especially, since your coffee machines are wonderful products, one of which I thoroughly enjoy using. I should have heeded the many negative reviews given this product before purchasing it. I do not recommend buying it. Luckily, I was able to return it for a refund at BB&B.

One of the best animated movies ever
The animation in this movie is so much better than in most Disney movies. It is perfect. Lion King and Hercules have such ugly animation and crudely drawn characters. I thought that Disney was going to keep making ugly animated movies like those forever until they made this movie. The animation in this movie is gorgeous, fluid, and perfect. The characters are great. The combination of computer & traditional animation is spectacular. The story is very excellent. I've seen a lot of people say this movie is "flawed" or otherwise not good, but those people are [bad]. This is a great & perfect movie. I think it is one of the very best animated movies ever. By the way, the robot reminds me a lot of Floyd, the robot from the adventure game Planetfall.

The Best on Amazon.com
This is an excellent starter set for any woodworker. Once you use 1/2" shank bits , you'll never want to buy a bit with a 1/4 inch shank again. They really do cut smoother. The carbide is a little harder than the average bit. It will stay sharp a little longer than many other carbide bits . I find them very good with most hardwoods. They chip a little faster than some if you hit a misplaced brad nail or other hard object. Some will just keep on going. Not a Freud. This shouldn't be a problem most of the time. Freud was ranked in the top 5 in a fine woodworking bit test. It was far ahead of all other brands available at Amazon.com though. Jesada was ranked last out of 17 brands. I would stick with the Freud set. They are very good and reasonably priced to boot.

Quality+
Finally a cable that is truly built well. I have purchased several different cables to find the one that works best and stays working. My application is not audio so I cannot comment on the sound quality. However, knowing what I do about quality audio cables, I can see that this would be an awesome option. My use for this is photographic. I use a trigger for my studio and off camera flashes which require the use of this cable to connect to the flash. Based on the fact that my trigger hangs from the connection, it puts strain on the "neck" of the cable (where the wire meets the solid plug). In products past, they have all gotten to the point of shorting out. I realize that in most applications, this is probably not going to happen. But, for me it is a very big deal. I could not ask for a better cable.

Love it
my son was three months when I had gone through two other bags and finally baught this one. I travel a lot, and take care of my nephew who is 6 months older then my son. I need a lot of room, and something that would be easy to use. if you organize it right this bag is perfect. Yes it is BIG, but you will always have everything you need. I keep in in my truck most of the time, and never have to worry that I am no prepared for the normal mis haps. I keep everything from diapers, band-aids, and sun screen, to a change of clothes and toys for both children at all times. It if very quick to get in and out of. and is a great color. Dark, so it doesn't show wear and tear easy, and my husband doesn't mind using it either. I would recomend this to anyone. I just went back today and baught a new one after a year of use. It still looked new, it was just wearing down a bit. I am very rough with it.

Not ANOTHER Album!
First of all, *NSYNC have NO talent. I would've given them no stars, but thats not an option. I don't get why everyone likes them when all they do is sing with their whiny little talentless voices. If *NSYNC releases another album, I swear I am gonna freak. I hate them and I just wish they would go away! Maybe it's just because I don't like pop AT ALL, but *NSYNC or however those losers are spelling it now, seriously need a little talent. I own none of their CD's, and I'm proud of it. Lastley, look at Bye Bye Bye, that stupid song. That was way too overplayed, and on this stupid CD they have Pop. That lasted like a week, so you can already see these guys are going down hill. Anyone who's with me on this, say it was helpful, and if people disagree, please say it wasnt helpful. Kinda like a poll. RAP ROCKS!!!!!

Not the best quality
I received my purchase maybe 10 days after purchase. The quality of the product is very cheap and not what I expected. The size is quite large as well, than a normal med/lg article of clothing. I must say I am quite disappointed for the amount that I purchased the item. I would return the item, but do you know how much it cost to send something to China!? That would be crazy? It would cost just as much to mail as it was to purchase. At the end, I would probably get back $10 of the $40 I spent. So, I am stuck with a piece of clothing I will probably never wear! Unfortunate indeed. I will not purchase from this company again.

Collected Classic Peanuts
Well, actually, once Charles M. Schulz got up to speed, which did not take long, almost every strip was a classic. Charles M. Schulz is the greatest American cartoonist who ever lived. Feel free to quote me! Fantagraphic Books is owed a heaping helping of gratitude for diligence of publication. Forget those previous publishers that dropped strips from the continuity or even printed the same strip twice in the same title. Leaving dates in the strip insures accuracy, precluding omissions. My, if Fantagraphics only printed the Sundays in color, they would deserve 6 stars!! (So, don't be giving away "Peanuts Jubilee" or other titles that reprinted Sundays in color.) Includes the entire fuzzy-face saga. A must buy for fans, public and school libraries. Hey, academic libraries, bless their pointy little heads, can buy a copy too!

Hate this tub!
I was so excited when I got this tub. The reviews were great and I expected a great product. Boy was I wrong. From the time I opened the box I knew I'd hate it. The tub was filthy, not something I would expect from a new product, it had scratches and nicks all over it. After having cleaned it up I tried it out with my daughter. It was too big for her, she slid and I had to prop her up with a towel to make her comfortable. I couldn't believe it, I mean she was eight pounds-four ounces, it's not like she was a small baby. It frustrated me and made her bath time uncomfortable, I can tell she felt it too. I would hate anyone to go out and buy this tub, it's truly not worth the money. What a horrible product!

Pretty good for a bare-basics pair
I got these as a gift from someone who randomly grabbed it and I'm glad they chanced upon this pair. It's nothing amazing, but good for casual listening or gaming. Bass is lacking (duh), but doesn't sound tinny. Highs are alright, mids are decent. Like I said, it's not special, but it's a "good cheap pair."The reason why it gets four stars is because they're DURABLE. I've owned my pair for several years now. They've been tangled and untangled, tossed into backpacks, stepped on and tripped over, tugged and yanked around. They passed with flying colors. Only recently has the left one finally started dying.In short: They're decent-sounding, yet stood up to over three years of rough use. A good durable pair, perfect for stuffing into pockets in case the need for headphones arises.

Gort is cool. In his way, perhaps cooler than Robbie.
I have many gadgets and toys and such in my home office, as I need to play with toys while attempting to think deep thoughts. I have GORT standing inside my desk lamp. He is shiny, sleek, and very cool looking. Robbie (from Forbidden Planet) is probably the best robot ever, but GORT is better in his limited way. GORT is sleek. GORT is no-excuses, no-nonsense Law Enforcement.The real GORT had 3 sensors under his chin. These are missing from my GORT, which is disappointing. Some people mistakenly think that sensors are breathing holes for the actor occupying the Gort suit. This is not true. They are sensors.I tried encasing him in a cube of KL93 isotonic bulletproof plastic, but he melted it. So I just left him inside my desk lamp, where he is [apparently] happy.Clatu berradda nicto.

Vividly remember it after nearly 8 years
I was awe-struck by this book when I first read it when it was published in 1992. (I now realize I own a first-edition that could have value someday!). I'm suprised now to learn two things. Number one is Donna Tartt herself. Why has she not written any thing else? The other is that the reviews are so obviously one-sided. It's either a one star rating or 5 stars with only a few with any ratings in between. It seems to be definitely a take or leave it kind of book. For me it was a "take it" kind of book. It was of the few books I still remember too much of to bother reading it again just now. But believe me, I will be reading it again someday (in paperback, however, to protect my first edition).

Hysterically Overrated
I have to agree with a few other reviewers that 'The Wild Bunch' is a hysterically overrated film. The movie clearly has a devoted following who can't handle the knowledge that maybe they have been devoted to the wrong movie. I watched all of the extras on my Blu-ray and was taken aback by how passionate the devotees of this film are. Their gushing praise was so over the top that it smacked of groupies who have had such a great time hanging out together over the years and talking about their favorite band that at some point the band itself becomes almost irrelevant. When the truth is revealed that the band is not that great the groupies reject any and all negative criticism because it threatens their reason for existing. Yes, this film is vastly overrated. It plays like a bad TV episode in spots. Seriously. I'm not saying I hated it. It was okay. But that's about it. It was just 'okay'.

Great watch, bad seller (MrWatch)
I like the watch fine - if I had been sent a working watch, I would give it 5 stars. However, I received a defective watch (many of the lines comprising letters and numbers do not function). Unfortunately for me, I notified the seller after 26 days from receipt. MrWatch's "warranty" is only 10 days. I have to send the watch to Timex with a check for $7 for return shipping and pay for shipping to Timex - $14.00!!! It's hardly worth the trouble for a watch that cost $26.36. And I won't have a watch during the repair period! So I have to buy another anyway.Mr. Watch's 10 day return policy for defective watches is buried on the fourth page of the product description, AFTER several paragraphs devoted to Timex's one year warranty and a long presentation about Mr. Watch's 365 day return policy!So. buy this watch from some other vendor. IMHO Amazon should not sponsor vendors that have ridiculously short return periods, and engage in deceitful practices on-line.

The End of The Best
With this amazing and undescriptible album, Faith No More ends his productive and breath-taking career. This was thier perfect final album. With the keyboards from Angel Dust and the guitars from King For a Day, they made their most balanced CD. The songs are so impressive, that can't be defined with words, you just have to listen to them. But, anyway, I would like to talk about every song of the album with just one word for each one:- Colission: Speed. - Stripsearch: Loneliness. - Last Cup of Sorrow: Thick. - Naked in Front of the Computer: Hardcore. - Helpless: Acoustic. - Mouth to Mouth: Oustanding. - Ashes to Ashes: Guitar. - She Loves me not: funny. - Got that feeling: Scream. - Paths of Glory: Darkest. - Home, sick Home: Strange. - Pristina: death.Their second best album (their best is Angel Dust).

terrible at best
Zakk Wylde is a man that demands perfection in the music of others. It then comes as a surprise that he doesn't practice what he preaches. While he is an amazing guitarist, his songwriting is downright horrible. His chord progressions are mediocre, songs are repetetive, and his guitar solos are repeated flurries of predictable pentatonics with no melody. In other words, his solos sacrifice substance for style. He never allows his band to have any instrumental time of their own. They are more or less hired guns. That is why it's called Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society. This album's poor quality is further augmented by the fact that Wylde cannot sing. He blatantly tries to rip off both Ozzy Osbourne and Pantera's own Phil Anselmo with horrendous results. He has no tone control and at times, sounds like he is yawning while he is singing. If you want real heavy metal with great vocals and/or melodic guitar solos, check out Metallica, Fear Factory, Pantera, Tool, and Shadows Fall.

TEDIOUS & BORING
People go to movies to be entertained which Malick keeps forgetting when he directs his "pretty" pictures. Yes, he is a masterful cinematographist but a boring director. This film is all about long, boring snippets of characters thinking out loud. Do we really need these voice-overs ? Actors are supposed to act either through their voices or expressions. Viewers don't need the director's voice overs to translate their feelibgs. The film is slow moving and confusing. The editing is atrocious. Acting is so so. Everyone seems to be in a perpetual depressed state - just like I was after only 30 minutes....I sat through it all hoping its pace would change but no luck. Luckily I didn't waste 12.00 but only 3.00 renting it. Malick should rethink the way he makes movies because I'm sure they must all be money losers.

Great concept, a tad slow, but a solid book!
Just finished His Majesty's Dragon -- the genre: historical fantasy. It's a "what if" story which follows real history, but a history in which dragons actually exist. Great concept and a good solid book. I thought it was a tad slow in places, but I think that's because I'm not a huge fan of the historical period in which the story takes place. With that said, the characterization is strong. And the relationship between Lawrence and Temeraire saves whatever slow parts of the story there are. Again, my critiques is based more on my personal tastes in historical periods than the writing or the story. Never the less, I give it a solid four stars will continue the series. Novik is a great writer, and her knowledge of the period shines. Definitely read this book, even if you aren't a fantasy or dragon book fan. It has something for everyone.

A useless collection
I'll make this one quick.'20th Century Masters' has a few standout releases. Notice those: A FEW. This is not one of them. Muddy Waters is a legend, and to condense his career with the Chess label in just 11 songs, ESPECIALLY with at least 30 compilations that are better. Yes, what's here is great, but it's what's missing that's the problem. 'You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had,' 'You Shook Me,' 'Sad Letter Blues,' 'She's Alright,' and countless others aren't here when they should be.They completely screwed up B.B. King's edition, and Howlin' Wolf's isn't much better, but Muddy's edition is the absolute worst. Go buy both volumes of 'His Best.' Or 'The Anthology 1947-1972.' ANYTHING except this. This is unnecessary. I don't recommend this collection at all. It's MCA trying to cash in Muddy's name. This isn't even recommended as a starting point. Only recommended if you can find it for $0.01 in a bargain or cut-out bin.NOT RECOMMENDED.

Great, til the right speaker suddenly stops working
Bought this, set it up at my workstation, and never moved them around even once. Used them several times a week, not quite everyday. After about 6 months, the right side wasn't working at all.I looked for help online, and I came to realize this was some kind of known fault with the product. It happens to a lot of sets, and a lot of people. You'll even find plenty of reviews stating the same thing. I was out of warranty, so I had to eat the cost of a new one. I honestly think if you see positive reviews on here, their set hasn't broken yet, it's a ticking time bomg.Now I bought the m-audio av-40's here from Amazon, for about $130. They sound so much better. They're bulkier, but richer, deeper sound. Skip these and go straight for the av-40's. Don't even consider the av-30's, what's a few more bucks? You won't be sorry.

Another Clone...
Sadly, this book disappointed me. It really did, why does she overuse the same characters. It's really the reason not many serious critics give her credit, hell, they don't even bother to look at her books.The thing that bugged me about it was the assassin thing. Does Amelia even know what a an assassin does? They don't play dress up and go undercover like a reporter or cop. What was with the whip? Whips do barely any good use.As for the storyline, there wasn't one. She never came out with the objective. She never does and that's what [ticking] off a lot of people who don't appreciate her work. They are also getting sick and tired of the callous and lonely lead female. For once Amelia could come up with something original.It's sad and despressing. All her books have the same endings with no actual conclusion. Need I say more?

Not worth the paper its printed on.
Based on the reviews of this book, and reviews I have read on other books recommending this particular book, I was really expecting it to be incredibly funny. There wasn't a single thing I found funny in this book. Not even a chuckle. I kept reading expecting for it to possibly pick up, after 100+ pages I realized no such luck. I began to just skim the book, because after all I paid for it. This book had NO point at all. It just sort of rambled on about nothing. Sedaris is SO not funny. The writing is flat. I would not recommend this book to anyone and if I could give it 0 stars, I would. Its not worth the paper its printed on. I am still annoyed I spent money on this, everyone that bought it deserves a refund.

Disappointing
I was pretty let down by this soundtrack. The score was plain and boring. Hans Zimmer usually writes wonderfully worthy music. The theme was weak and held no convincing emotion. It wasn't until track 17 when I started to enjoy it. That's probably the only track that stood out. Lisa Gerrard is a fine singer. However, she gets irritating after a while because the melodies are so arid and flat. The movie was missing here. If you have the movie do not bother getting the soundtrack. It's a real let down.

Bat Belt
I got this belt for my 4 yr old. Its HUGE! I need to layer him up and put it on the last setting to stay on. Either that or feed him an entire box of hoho's/ring dings a day. That is a bit dissapointing. Other than this belt is 200% nicer than the belt that comes with the mask/cape/talking chest plate. (which is why we needed to buy this belt.) He plays with it maybe 2-3 times a week since recieving it from Santa. Would be nice if the company offered a delux set with all the nice masks, gloves, cape and belts vs needed to buy 3 sets from the same manufacturer just to get the right look.My suggestion is get the muscle holloween costume and get this belt. That would be the ultimate play costume...but I couldn't find the halloween costume around Christmas... so santa had to improvise and bring this with the other sets. The belt is nicer than the glove set and the talking chest plate set.

Not the same
I ordered this cologne because someone had given me one and I really like it. Not to mention that I am always getting complimented on it. Beware however ordering this online. When I received it, it is definitely NOT the same. The bottle appears the same and there is a similar hint of scent. But it does not compare at all to the other bottle. It's almost as if it were watered down or something. Not sure. Maybe Amazon is not for everything. Don't get me wrong, I am an avid Amazon shopper. This is the first time I feel like I was taken. But one thing for sure, I will not order any more cologne from here.

The end result of impractical idealism
*alert* Filled with spoiler potential *alert*Portions of Into the Wild were beautiful. The natural landscapes and odd characters were often compelling. However, the end of the movie was ruinous and unappealing. Into the Wild is not a story of hope, transcendence, or overcoming. It is, instead, a story of failure.I'm sure many viewers will be able to relate to the main character's need to explore himself and the world around him. Emile Hirsch plays Chris McCandless very well. However, I question the logic of glorifying a life filled with what I consider bad choices. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned here. I will let you the viewer decide for yourself. Be aware before you decide to spend a few hours with this movie that there is no fairy tale ending.Nature can be cruel and Alaska is wild. McCandless saw, heard, felt and tasted things many of us will never experience. Is that admirable? Decide for yourself.

Salo
I don't get it. Judging from the reviews, some people actually like this movie, or so they say. Well let me tell you what: if you really enjoy this film, that means you're stupid. Unless you're lying to yourself and others, for some reasons, being dumb is your only exuse for praising it.Salo is based on de Sade's book. I've read some parts of it and it was worthless. All it contains is large amounts of boring philosophy, which, I'm sure, no one even bothers to read because it's so dull, and even larger amounts of different abominations that the authors two-dimensional characters do upon each other.The movie is not better. The whole point of it is that the fascists did some bad things. Well duh.So, is this a high class piece of art? My ass. Is it at least as disgusting as they say it is? Yes it is. But if you really need to puke for some reasons, then why don't you just stick two fingers down your throat and save your time.

Fits Hamilton Beach 40729 Espresso machine perfectly
Fits Hamilton Beach 40729 Espresso machine perfectly. Bottom diameter is 57-58mm as close as I can measure it. Best deal I could find on a good quality tamper at a reasonable price. Bottom is heavy 18/8 stainless steel. However I was surprised that the acrylic handle can be unscrewed and separates so that you have 3 separate pieces: Steel bottom, acrylic handle, and acrylic ring which fits like a sleeve at the base. Don't know how durable this type construction will be in the long run. Also makes me not want to wash it with soap and water, because I'll have to disassemble it after to let any water that penetrates dry out. So instead I just wipe it off after use. Another thing to note, the bottom is not completely flat, there is a slight convex, that is just fine with me but just FYI. Made in China. If that bothers you, be prepared to pay more.

Dennis Lehane is a bad man. An awesome storyteller. His strength is his consistency in all of his novels. I don't feel that any one story is better than the other. In all of his novels, the new characters he creates stay in your memory long after you read one. And I don't just mean the villians. It may be a guy or two in the department, an agent at the bureau, or a friend in the press. All of his characters, likable or not, good or bad, ring with originality and all have their own voice. And when it comes to bone-chilling violence and eye watering dialogue, Lehane has no peers. End of story. Go buy his.

B-More Careful When Wasting Your Money!
Okay I know what you all are saying. The reviews at they top say this is a great book. Well, the reviewers at the top have a great ability to ignore constant grammar errors and a story line that doesn't seem to follow in any direction most readers would call "interesting". I was excited when I ordered this book. I heard great things about this book. Once I started I just couldn't finish. I had to tell myself to read it like it was a project or a assignment. It just doesn't follow through. It goes this way and that. I am telling you as a very concerned 16 year old high school student. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. And Teri Woods got her name all over the book like she is Ralph Ellison or Toni Morrison. She has a very long way to go! Trust me.

don't believe the hype
You won't find a bigger fan of Anime than me. I still have all of my old Streamline VHS tapes, including Akira. Mechanically, Otomo's attention to detail is extraordinary--the man explains everything. He's so anal about every little system that I wonder if he ever gets out and around real people. That would account for how intimately he knows machines, yet how poorly he's able to program real human feelings and situations into his work. With Otomo, Everything is so apocalyptic and gargantuan that the characters are reduced to atoms. Therein lies the problem with his movies. Akira, Steamboy, etc.-- the characters in all of his films are cardboard and generic. Otomo's films are overrated and he's overrated. Watching Steamboy is like watching an autopsy. If he could have put half as much effort into the characters, Steamboy would have been an ok film.

The Vegan Beagle Loves It
When I found out dogs could live healthily vegan, I jumped at the chance to share my diet with mine. This food was recommended by a friend so we tried it out and my beagle loved it. Granted, he's a beagle and will eat anything. But, I noticed huge improvements in his health after eating this food. He would often vomit after eating when he ate an omni diet and have digestive issues. He was never a dog that could eat meat straight up without getting sick, so perhaps he was sensitive to even the high end food with meat in it I had him on before this. He has rarely thrown up since having him on vegan food, if at all. It's been so long I can't remember. His weight has been easier to manage, and he has a nicer coat and even better smelling breath! All his vet visits have been great. I totally recommend vegan diets for doggies and specifically this brand of food. I usually buy a big bag of it, get the free shipping, and am good for a while.

Only deserves one star for right now.
Okay, so one of my friends were telling me about this product VIRGIN and how great it is. So I decided to order it on amazon. I was so excited about my shipment. When I received it and open up the package, both of my boxes say VIRGO. I don't like this false advertisement. The picture that is shown above clearly shows the name brand VIRGIN. I know the title says it wears a new name but once again I go back to the picture it doesn't say that. They should really update the picture so people could know what they are buying instead of just putting that it wears a new name. Of course once I saw the name Virgo I came on amazon to check out everyone's reviews and see what they all had to say about this. I see a lot of positive feedback even though its not the real stuff. So I'm going to try it out and be back with a an updated review. Once again please change the picture.

What a blessing.
I love, love, love this CD. It' awesome. The Music is amazing. Anytime i listen to this CD I just enter into the Presence of God. This CD deserves more than 5 stars. It expresses the exact way I feel about my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and I just feel like telling everyone. It's encouraging and my favorite songs are Dreams, Promise, Everlasting, Kiss of heaven, Heaven on earth, Pray, Everthing about you, faithful and thank You. All the songs are great and wonderful for mediating on Christ. Darlene has a gift to minister to others through worship and praise. I love Shout to Lord also and I knew that song before that's how I first found out about her. I will love to visit Hillsong Church in Australia to hear their worship team live. I recommend this CD to all people. What great LOVE.Just remember Jesus Loves You.

What a stupid book
I was looking for something to help my daughter navigate the early teen years. I thought this book would be a good fit, so I ordered it. What a mistake.What this book actually is, is a collection of the stupidest, most inane bit of "advice" ever put forth. Some examples:"Don't use liquid eyeliner. If you want to use liner, use powder." p55."Don't force your hand too far into the hole (of the toilet bowl)." p72."Remember: Customer service means giving the customer good service." p177.Add that to the snippets of garbage from 'real people' -- like this one:"Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Jessica, 18, California."This whole book reads like the author Googled a bunch of keywords for teens and cut and pasted the results into Word and published the pages.Seriously, save your money. The author should be ashamed of herself for putting something like this out there.

Awesome Book
The Giver is a great example of good literature. It has lots of feelings present. I could really connect to the characters. I could understand how they felt about certain topics. For example, Jonas, the main character, felt that there shouldn't be sameness. There was lots of description in The Giver. I could see mental images in my mind of when Jonas sled down the hill. Lois Lowry does a superb job giving you a description. There was also interesting details. You knew every aspect about every event in the story. She depicted every memory to make sure you knew what it was like as if you were there. For example, Lowry stated, "The brutal slice of pain..."This is why The Giver is a book with good literature.

Sensual Masage DVD is a Winner!
Have long been a fan of Gordon Inkeles books on massage I had hoped for years that he would apply his talents to a video. My expectations were realized by the release of this video. I had heard that Mr. Inkeles was working on a video version of his last book and finally I got to see the finished product. Massage books are OK as far as they go but to actually see the strokes in action makes video a superior medium to use. The models I guess are married and convey a relaxed mood and ease with each other. They seemed to really enjoy each other and the techniques they used. The video is laid out much like the book with chapters on the head, the arms, the legs, etc, and are easily accessible through the DVD menu. The music is very low key and the moderator voice (Mr. Inkeles?) over on the strokes is informative. This video really sets the mood with the lighting and sets used. The color is warm without being saturated. It will definitely inspire you and your partner!

Breathtaking!
This is Eiffel 65 at their best. They have returned to their Italian roots but they've maintained English songs for the sake of us English-speaking people, and what a masterpiece this album is. Every song is beautiful. There's not a dull song on the whole album. Even the remixes are incredible, proving how talented these men are. "Living in My City" is an extremely deep and wonderful song written by Maurizio Lobina and it blends guitar sounds with the dance style Eiffel 65 is so famous for. The song "The World Inside My Bedroom" is probably my favorite on both discs, and at one point this song moved me to tears. No lie. Jeffrey's voice is flawless, and when he is given the chance to sing so passionately in this song, it touches my heart so deeply. If you are a fan of dance music, multi-lingual lyrics, or this band in particular, then get this CD immediately! I'd give it 10 stars if possible.

I dont know who gave the good reveiws
This game is terrible. True it is sort of new and inventive. But gameplay is terrible, graphics are equiv. to regular Xbox. I have purchased this game in package just to get the Xbox 360. Also stay away from ridge racer (terrible driving game, the worst i have ever played) driving physics are non existent and gameplay is designed for five year olds. Perfect Dark Zero is also terrible. All of these games have received great reviews. I dont know how? All have graphics dated back to the original Xbox!!!! Hope this helps!

A Massive Garbage Can!!!!!!
This gun is COMPLETELY falsely advertised. First of all, it is not 300 FPS, more like 80-100 FPS. After charging it overnight, I took it outside and began to shoot it. The first few shots sort of rolled out of the barrel slowly and then the rest of the 25 shot clip sprayed randomly at a rate that wouldn't hurt at a point blank range. The accuracy is garbage, the clip capacity is garbage, and the gun quality is garbage. The scope is nothing more than a couple pieces of plastic and a clear piece of glass.If you are into airsoft wars, do not even consider this gun as a sidearm, let alone your only gun. people would run right through your shots,and wreck you. Honestly, you would be better off throwing BBs at your opponent, this gun does no hurt. This gun takes about 5 shots oozing out of the barrel, and then it only shoots 20-30 feet before hitting the ground. It is consisted of cheap plastic, and it actually smells bad when you shoot it. DO NOT BUY THIS GUN.

Toy Only. Not even close to playable.
I should have read the reviews more closely. My daughter had asked for a real guitar and not the toy models she had. I bought this thinking that it would be a better quality than those available at retail stores. Not even close. Its poorly constructed to say the least. There is no way a child can actually use this guitar to learn a thing. It's out of tune with one strum. The neck that the headstock were constructed with stone tools. It's hard to gain an appreciation for playing when you have to pick splinters out of your hand. But I digress. If your young child has a real desire to learn the instrument look elsewhere. If you want an overpriced toy, this is it.

More versatile than IPod
My 13 year-old daughter had a Dell Ditty for two years. It served her well but she wanted an mp3 in which she could choose songs and create playlists. She wanted an IPod because that's what her friends were using. I have a Creative Zen Vision: M 30 with Napster subscription. (Great mp3) I guided her away from Apple and towards this because of the flash drive and Plays for Sure compatability. Using her own money to buy this, I nervously awaited her verdict on the Sansa. She loves it and so do I. She has her music, photos and a movie on the player. It works great with Napster To Go. Her basketball coach saw her using it on the bus and has decided to get a Sansa also. My 15 year-old son is now thinking he wants to get one, too. Great product.

Amazing, for every generation
I'm a 15 year old girl. I'm not the type you'd expect to suddenly decide that metal is amazing. My first CD was Shania Twain, and to this day, I'm a huge country fan, although I have branched out into rap and hip hop, as well. However, one day I turned on VH1, and 100 Most Metal Moments was on. The discovery of classic metal music was a thrilling experience. None of my friends listened to this music, so on my own I decided to buy some CDs. My first choice? Slave to the Grind.And what a choice it was. It's like a shock to your system, listening to this CD. With great guitar playing and insane vocal talent, it's impossible not to feel the music intensely. Even the ballads pull you in with their powerful lyrics.This album is a must-have for any fan of metal, no doubt about it.

A Must-Have
What can I say that hasn't been said already? If you're a huge Futurama fan, then you owe it to yourself to have this collection. Lots of goodies for true fans. There's commentary on every episode as well as animatics and deleted scenes. The alien alphabet is also present.There are only a couple negative things I can really say. For one thing, there's no play-all feature. It's such a glaring omission that I was actually astonished to see that it wasn't there. The other bad thing is that there's only five episodes per disc. I've seen many season collections of other shows that had as many as eight. Since Season 1 is so much shorter, they probably should have bundled the two seasons together on five discs total.But these are negligible. I say buy it!

Arc Welding 1 DVD
This instructor loves welding,and loves talking about it. He loves to teach. Still finds it fascinating how electricity melts two pieces of steel together. It is a hard subject to take in. I bought a standard Lincoln on sale 8 years ago . A number of people tried to teach me but I couldn't get the hang of it. This DVD ROCKS ! I wish I could upload photos of the ornamental window guards I fabricated for my house. I would also upload photos of the sculpture I made of my dog. I WATCHED THE DVD LIKE AS IF I WAS IN SCHOOL AND TOOK NOTES. Then I welded for two hours and watched it again. Welded the next day/ watched/ Welded 2 days/ watched. Then I ran around the house proclaiming (to myself) I CAN WELD ! I CAN WELD !

Beavis' and Butthead's Hollywood Experience
The movie was released on December 20,1996 grossed over three million dollars within the first two weeks of release. I saw it the day it came out and a second time three days later. On the cover are MTV's Beavis and Butthead in clothes and hairstyles from the 1970's riding motorcycles like a scene from an episode of TV's "Chips". The album opens with Isaac Hayes' TWO COOL GUYS sounding like it was recorded in the seventies. Hayes had a hit in '71 called "The Theme from 'Shaft'". The Red Hot Chili Peppers cover the Ohio Players' '75 hit LOVE ROLLERCOASTER. AIN'T NOBODY was covered by LL Cool J. That song was recorded sometime in the 70's,I just don't know by who. AC-DC recycles their song GONE SHOOTIN'. Even Engelbert Humperdinck recorded a song called LESBIAN SEAGULL. That probably went below his principles. There's also the song with the s-word and the racial slur that rhymes with "bigger". That's MADD HEAD. This one is cool. HUH HUH HUH HEH HEH HEH!

Don't Buy It
This is a crap book. Don't buy it. I have 3 books by this author, all published by CUP, and I swear I will never and ever buy his fourth book. This is the worst book I've every read. There are several common weak points of his books -- confusing symbols, lack of explanations on those necessary issues and lengthy B.S. on those simple issues. Numerous typing errors make the matter worse. This book spend a chapter talking about old fashion of moving averages, such as Spencer 7-point and 15-point. It almost goes into the field of graduation. What's the point? The chapters on ARIMA are also rubbish. My feeling is that the author lacks sense in statistics, all he saw are just mathematics. On the whole, this book is just on the wrong field, at the wrong time and with the wrong title.

Rap at its best
Wyclef is simply a genius. He writes song with meaning like "Where Fugees At" and "Diallo", he writes song with emotions like in "911." I'm tired of people rapping about sex and violence all the time. It's getting old and redundant. But then Wyclef releases an album like this and restores my faith in the rap community. I hope others follow suit and stray away from the "standards" for rap. I understand that style is supposed to be "gangsta," but there most be more they can say. Public Enemy found a way. Anyway, this is clean rap (another refreshing moment) and good rap. Nice beats and strong lyrics. A must buy.

Hope and HELP just when I needed it most
Two weeks ago I was a different person. With all that I had in life I was still feeling unhappy. I was tired of taking care of everybody else and always coming last. I was starting to resent my husband and twin girls and I felt totally alone. My sister and mother's subtle put-downs were setting me off more and more easily. I felt like I was in a downward spiral.Since I bought this book everything has changed. I really mean it. I've started listening to what I want and need and putting limits on the way people treat me. Instead of getting upset it seems like they respect me more. Even my DH.It's like everyone has been waiting for me to say I'd had enough and this book showed me how to do it without feeling guilty.I started wiith the chapters on Healthy Selfishness with your Kids and the chapter on Family and your Mate. They were great. Next I'm going to read the chapter on Healthy Selfishness in the Bedroom : )

Vivid
The sound engineering on this CD is variable. Quartets 1 and 16 were recorded in 1933, and sound almost as good as a modern recording. No. 11 was recorded a year earlier, and there the sound is somewhat muffled, but still enjoyable. Surface noise from the 78s is at a minimum throughout. As performances, these may be the best ever. No. 1 receives a reading full of classical poise and elegance. There is no underestimating how beautiful the Busch Quartet sounds. No. 11 features much contrast of light and shade. As for Beethoven's last quartet, it receives a deeply spiritual performance. The slow movement is almost effortlessly soulful and poised, while the last, Muss es Sein, movement proceeds at a tempo that just sounds perfect. This is quartet playing of rare distinction.

Halirious
I went into this movie expecting another funny but also to leave disapointed, simply because thats usually how it works for comedies anymore. The just have a few funny scene's to crack a smile and thats pretty much it. This one however left me not only laughing but left me doing something I have not done in many many many years, and that is laughing out loud in a movie theater. Once this happened not once, not twice, but about the third time I was satisfied. I then thought to myself well it has been good so far but before long it will fall flat. Again much to my suprise, i was wrong again! This is a very very good movie, a very good comedy also. I would recomend this movie to anybody wanting a good laugh. I really dont think you will leave in disapointment.Dont listen to the critics. They gave this movie 1 star. goes to show what they know. this is very well done and very funny!

Alt Country the way you like it......
This CD has not made much of a splash around here. Apparently KLOW records does not have much of a publicicty department. However, it is well deserving of a place within the collection of anyone who listens to the likes of Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Doug Sahm, Uncle Tupelo or any of their spinoff groups. The title track asks the questions :What's God got against rednecks? How come tornadoes love trailer parks? - A question I've certainly asked myself in the past. Ballads, all out rockers (Burnin' Down), country crooners - there's something for any alt country fan on this CD. Curtis Burch (Newgrass Revival) adds tasty dobro and slide throughout. Skip Bethune's vocals come across with just the right touch of flat Appalachian inflection. Well befitting a bunch of twangers from Lexington, Ky. Repeated listening is highly recommended and well rewarded.

Great Watch, Band Needs Work
This watch has been a terrific part of running training, in wet weather, sweat, and still runs well and looks good after 2 years. I really like the lap timer function a lot, and often use it concurrently with the chrono function. Great watch.That's the watch itself. It may last forever, but most likely not on your wrist. The band is it's only problem. Mine is held together with Superglue. I like the sleek look, it wears really well, it's comfortable, but it breaks/rips over time. I periodically have to superglue it back together. Finding a replacement band is really not an option, making the watch, unfortunately, a 'disposable' item. It seems to be a common issue, and I would buy a new one that has a band made of a stronger material (hello, Timex?). The band became a problem after about 18 months.Batteries do die (about every 12-15 months), but that seems pretty normal, and can be relatively easily replaced.

Amazon stupidly thinks that selling only volume one is good enough.
BEWARE GETTING RIPPED OFF when you buy this title. I had to go thru enormous hassle and return this book. Amazon advertises it misleadingly. The book title on the webpage has no words about "vol. 1" or "2 vols." The picture supplied by a customer (it seems) shows a "Vol. One" but hell, that is just a picture of one of the books. It doesn't mean "You ain't gonna get volume two." For the approx. $250 price, one should be supplied BOTH VOLS., not just vol. 1, which I rec'd and which has only 700 pp. The publisher lists the exact same title, but declares it as a 2-vol. set. Amazon later told me that they do not carry a vol. 2. Without vol. 2, the title is worthless. Better to buy it for $300 from the publisher.

Watch the trailer--it's better than the movie
Someone owes me three bucks for renting this movie, excuse me, waste of time and money. I'll give it to you, the trailer made me think I was going to be actually watching a comedy. And Anthony Anderson is usually a bright spot in any film. Poor Anthony couldn't save this dog. I was dismayed when my husband and I rented this movie and discovered that the best and only jokes of the film were shown on the trailers. They were also shown fairly early in the film too. So we basically sat watching the movie in dead silence. I began daydreaming to entertain myself until my husband begged me to turn it off. Yep, it was that bad. We can only stand about 45-50 minutes of crap at at a time. Please save your money and buy food or gas or a better movie. If I've saved just one person money from staying away from this movie, than I feel I've done my good deed for the day.

It works very well.
The two reviews, as of this date, say that the card does not work on their computer or that they have major problems with it. I have a motherboard with onboard sound, and I will bet they do also. I also have Windows XP. Disable or remove the onboard sound, reboot the computer, then install the drivers for the sound card. It will work just fine. You can find this information on the I/O Magic webpage under their forums. Good sources for information if you are having problems. I did have a problem with WinRip, an included software program. Freezes every time. I dumped it. Rest of the free software works o.k. If all the software worked, I would have rated this card a 5.

A well-crafted spy thriller
I didn't like the book. It was corny. How corny? Well, Iowa comes to mind. So I think the director was very wise to do a loose adaptation. Damon is terrific as Jason Bourne. Understated and fantastic in the action sequences. His German co-star is also excellent. It is a masterful piece of film making. Sure, it may may cross over from "film" to "movie" in places, but all in all it's a completey satisfying spy movie. Well shot. Well directed. Well edited. And marvelous sound design. In short, it rocked. Oh yeah, if you want something truer to the book, there is an earlier version of this movie starring the action movie staple Richard Chamberlain. Sort of a secret agent meets "The Thornbirds" type deal, I guess.

Excellent!
I love this juicer. Its a very powerful machine. You can get a whole glass of juice just from 2 large carrots or 1/2 of a small bag of spinach. Clean up is very very easy as well. I just rinse it out as soon as I am done with it. Within 1 minute you can have a fresh glass of juice and cleaned up. I am very impressed with this items performance. I would have rated the item a 5, but there are a couple of things I dont like about the product. 1. The excess tray in the back is large and takes up alot of space. 2. The juicer is loud. Otherwise, I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an affordable and highly functioning juicer.

Mozart: Piano Sonatas
Mozart: Piano Sonatas is a 2005 Deutsche Grammophon recording starring pianist Mikhail Pletnev. John Irving has written the music notes. When the booklet claims that the sonatas "take on new shades and colour" then one has to be very good as a pianist. Does he succeed? Well, so so. I prefer the classical approach to playing Mozart. To much experimenting is just that. Not a bad recording but not awesome. Still good enough to get 4 out of 5. Recommended. 4/5.

Mom of two boys who love rescue heros
My four year old son received this toy as a Christmas gift in December, 2002. Upon taking it out of the box, the arm would not shoot out like it stated. It did not work at all. After an hour of crying, we told him we would go to the toy store in the morning and get a replacement. This one worked at first. He was having fun. Then after about an hour the right foot would not walk anymore. When you pushed forward it went in reverse and reverse would go forward. This is if you could get it to work at all. My son was very upset. This was one of the top things he had asked for. We brought it back and let him pick something else. He kept saying "well it works on TV". We stated that everything works on TV. It was really a shame. I was very disappointed in Fisher Price for the quality of this toy. I expected much more from them. Save your money.

Decent EARLY dystopian YA fiction
Debut near-future dystopian novel. Interesting premise, not so awesome writing. It's most certainly not Weyn's best work, but it is what got her some attention. There really wasn't a huge amount in this genre at the time (2004) and she did well breaking in with something different.I've read reviews that tell you the story is predictable. It's not. Well, it wasn't for when it was first published. Sure...it is now, when dystopian YA fiction is all the rage. The characters are all a little weak, and yes, Weyn has some disjointed connections here and there. But the book isn't a lost cause.The story doesn't wrap up neatly, which is a plus. You want some closure for Kayla and the love triangle she finds herself in while running from the government. So...you pick up the second book.

How do you define good music?
How do you define good music? Is it old music. Is it about doing the same thing over and over again. No...It's about ground breaking beats that stay good over time.This CD does not hold up. I admit it is exciting if you turn it up really loud. But then again isn't almost all dance music? The only thing I see on this CD is that it is live. The crowd almost make the cheesy buildups and clubby acid lines worth listening to. Being a music producer myself I can say this is not worth spending [money] on. ... Save your money and buy the new GU release nothing bad comes out of there. The CD reminds me too much of Louie Devito's N.Y.C. Underground Series.Sorry for disagreeing.RespectVentilator

When it works, it's great
We've been running this UPS connected to one computer. It functioned fine for about a month. Then, we had a power outage and the UPS wouldn't turn back on when I had the computer plugged into the battery backed up slots. I did the self test from the directions, and it was telling me the outlet was overloaded for the battery. I removed everything from the unit and it still gave me the same fault. I had to plug into the regular, non-battery backed up outlets instead. I sent an email to Tripp lite's technical support about the issue. I received an email about 6 weeks later saying "Sorry we missed your email. Let us know if you're still having the problem." I later tried switching back to the battery backed up outlet and it was functioning again. I don't hold out much hope on this lasting in the long run. Overall, not impressed.

50's time has been up.
Not a lot of people have heard anything by 50 that is pre-Get Rich. Before he hooked up with Eminem he used to be a TALENTED underground rapper. He also used to tell his fans that he would never sell out and that he hated mainstream rap. Well 50, was it worth it? You ditched all your true underground fans to go mainstream with "Get Rich". You got your wish and you're now rich and famous. Now what? Your TRUE fans hate you for selling out and now your teeny-bobbing fans are forgetting about you and moving on to the next rap idol. So in a desperate attempt to get them back you release "The Massacre". Very appropriate title for album because it describes what happened to your short-lived music "career". Oh well, I guess it doensn't matter to him because he's raked in his millions. Anyone who is interested in hearing pre "Get Rich" 50 try to find his underground tapes. He does have some good stuff, its just hard to get to.

Not worth buying
I would rate it a one. He can't sing. America we all know that Clay is the true American Idol. Listen to his awesome voice. He has such an amazing voice. Clay is #29 on Amazon.com & Ruben is #100. That says it all right their. I wouldn't waste a penny on buying any CD of Rubens. I'll be at the American Idol Concert August 13th in Tampa. I'm going to hear Clay sing. Everyone was pretty good but Clay blew them all away. The best of luck to Clay Aiken. OUR TRUE AMERICAN IDOL.

So tired of Honored Matres and torture
I would be happy never to hear the term "Honored Matre" again. I didn't read either Heretic or Chapterhouse, but have read all the other Dune books and prequels. In general, I'm fairly happy with all of them. I am getting a little tired of the torture angle, however. It just goes on and on, and a little could go a long way. When you are listening to the audio tapes (which are just excellent, by the way), you can't even skip over the worst of it. I agree with most of the reviewers about this particular book, in that no one is likeable. I sure hope this changes in the next book. But good or bad, it is still a continuation of the Dune universe, and worth it just for that (and the reason for 4 stars).At the end of the tape there was an interview with the authors. They mentioned further prequels, including "Paul of Dune", which chronicles Paul's entire life. I hope I am still alive when it comes out! I really love Paul.

Recomended, but not sure why
I am in a creative writing class taught by an author. She heard my short story and told me to pick up this book and read it to see how to link "events" and "stories". UGH. I am slogging through this book. The language is awful. I didn't laugh to myself or outloud. I didn't read anything in this other than stories from life. Why not just write a memoire?The events are not in chronilogical order. I did not find the stories about drug use funny. The sarcastic stories about his siblings came off as mean and disconnected. I feel obligated to finish this book because my writing teacher wanted me to read it, but I am so not looking forward to it. I wish I could ask my teacher to reimburse me the $10.00 I spent on the book for my kindle.

I loved Karen, and still do.
I was eleven years old when this LP came out. i had rec'd a record player for christmas and my birthday being the following year in January (1970) I was given a choice of the Carpenters, Ticket to ride or an Osmond Bro's record (I don't recall which one). I had wanted both, but could only have one (we weren't rich, after all) :)I chose the Carpenters and never looked back. I collected all their LP's into adult hood. I cried for days when my sister broke the news Karen had died. I mourned like the rest of the world. I still love her and Richards music and am very glad the LP's were Remastered into CD's. I have finally afforded to finally collect all of them, now as a CD library. (i'm still not rich :)).I still have the LP's, although no longer have a record player. But I will never part with the LP's. They are part of my childhood into young adulthood.Oh, and as far as the Osmond Brothers? I gotta say, Osmond who? :)

The Grey Fox, One of the Finest Westerns Ever Made
I am sorely disappointed "The Grey Fox" isn't on DVD. I rented this years ago on VHS and have admired it ever since. My mom and I both were very impressed with it when we saw it in the early 80s. This movie is one of those classics that shows you another perspective about a time in our history. This was the movie that really made me respect Richard Farnsworth's talents. It has superb acting, detailed sets, breathtaking scenery and music, and old trains that are filmed with expert care. It will make you feel as if you have been dropped into a bygone era. This is suited for the whole family. Although Farnsworth's character is a robber, he is a gentleman. An interesting perspective on an older man coming out of prison and finding a new world around him and trying to adjust to it. If you enjoy this be sure to catch Farnsworth in "The Straight Story".

Brian's Return
nonfictionBrian's ReturnBrian's Return is a disappointment! Gary Paulsen is a excellent author, but he could of done a better job for this book. This wasn't his best writhing. The beginning of this book was very boring, because he is in his home town telling how boring it is to be in town. Brian finally figures out that he likes the woods better and it makes him free. He wants to get permission to go back to the woods and live there. When he finally gets the permission the permission to go back, he has to find a why out there. An airline will drive when to 1 island and Brian's has to row his way to three other islands. He rows to one island a day and has to find his own food.The sequels to Brian's Return are Hatchet, The River, and Brian's Winter. Gary Paulson is the author of the best selling novel of the year "Brian Winter". This book is very adventurous at times. I thought it would like Hatchet ,but it wasn't even close. I think that's way I didn't like it.

Not ready for any time
QVC impulse purchase. Returned it. Primitive controls on front panel. Little sh*tty primitive looking // shaped buttons on front of unit. Slow, slow, slow. Most operations there is a noticable delay lag of .5 to 5 seconds. The plugs are extremely tight - though that was the least of the problems. Had a hard time inserting and removing the progressive scan and s-video plugs out of the back.Terrible remote control layout. 2 tiny up down channel on a horizontal layout on the top left of the remote. Can't tell if it is the remote control that is unresponsive or if it is just the unit that is so slow. What do volume controls do? Only nice thing is good picture quality and 2nd higest recording setting (2 hours).It is just a bad overpriced, unresponsive VCR with good picture quality if you pay for the DVD-Rs. Save your trouble and get a 2nd generation DVD recorder/HDD hybred unit. I'm waiting for my Panasonic DMR-E80HS.

:(
I just can't get over the smell of this wallet. I saw others posts complaining about the smell, but I thought maybe it was a bad batch or something. The smell of this wallet is horrible. A combination of bleach and something bad. I am not sure if it's the storage, or what exactly. I am very disappointed also with the quality. The picture here shows a nice wallet. What you get is not nice. The color is way off from what you see here. It's just blah. Not recommended.

I love this pan
With all of your help and some of youtube's help I thought possibly I could season this right and I was able to! Thanks so much for all of your tips. I think I have used this every day since I got it for one thing or another. It's my first cast iron and just seems to cook better than my other pans. I bought it to use for the Artisan bread in the oven at high temp. and it works great for that too. It's plenty big for those small loaves, and much more economical than a pizza stone for that purpose. It's lighter weight too which is a plus for me. I also want to make tortillas and even small pizzas with it since it can take the high temps. It has been perfect for everything I've done so far and so easy to clean too. It gets 5 stars from me!

Cute toy
I have always loved the little people toys so when I found this toy at a consingment shop for $6 I was thrilled and had to buy it for my 10 month old daughter. She loves carrying around a little construction man from the old version of the little people (he was mine when I was little) so I thought she would love this also. Her favorite thing to do is to put their head or feet in her mouth and crawl around. I would worry but since they are big enough I am not afriad she will choke on them. They are just the right size for her little hands. She is able to take the train apart and it often falls apart when she tries to rip the animals off of it. They don't come off really easy. But this doesn't stop her. She also loves the song it plays. It doesn't keep her attention for very long (about 5 minutes max) but that is about all she gives any toy. The best part for me is that she loves to roar with the lion in the song. Cute toy!

Awesome read...
This book grabbed me from the beginning. I am amazed by this young girl's faith and trust in the Lord. Rachel's journal entries really opened my eyes. I am amazed at the depth of her understanding of what it means to "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". She was proclaiming her love for her heavenly Father right to her very last breath. Am I that brave? Do I trust Him enough to do that? I like to think I do. My eyes are definitely open a bit wider as to what can happen when I trust in the answer to the prayers I voice. I highly recommend this book. It has definitely encouraged me in my walk...

Great RPG, the only kind I'll play.
This was a great RPG game. This is the only kind of RPG I can play. I really don't like most other RPG's requiring you to learn a new language, fight every other scene, etc. etc. Its like playing Starwars, without any weapons. (I hated all the Starwars movies!)I do, though, enjoy this type of game though! I love the games that give us a beautiful, well known city as the backdrop (Max Payne, Fear Effect 1 and 2, Spiderman, Shenmue 1 and 2, etc.)with a great mix of gameplay, and exploration. This is my favorite type of RPG style game.I give this game two gamer thumbs up!!! Awesome!!!MC White said: Check it out!!!

Poor Quality Maps and Overpriced Software
I am pretty computer savy and I had no real trouble installing and using the program. I did find the programs buttons and workings a bit arcane, but usable nonetheless. Where I ran into extreme dissatisfaction after spending [hard earned cash], was that the topo maps are way off. I use my gps extensively in the woods for navigating. I could watch my GPS and follow my position readings and see that that I had changed elevation by 500 feet. The maps from this topo cd would say that I only changed elevation by 10 or 20 feet. These maps are way off...the idea is good: Have your position displayed on a screen on top of a topo with countour lines etc. The problem is the maps are not usgs and in many cases are very inaccurate. GPS's are great. If you don't have one buy one. But don't waste your money on these maps. Wait and buy U.S. Geological Survey maps when they become available in GPS software form.

Tired plot, awkward writing
I bought this book based on the blurb on the back. I am a great fan of suspense/psychological thrillers and was hoping I had found a new author! Boy, was I wrong. I don't know why the author chose to use a journal format for this story. It was extremely distracting, especially since it seemed to have no relation to the plot. Sam is basically telling stories(and not very interesting ones at that!) and randomly inserting dates to break it up. I don't know about you, but I have kept a journal for 20 years, and if I am writing about something that happened, I am not in the habit of writing a paragraph a day. I FINISH the story. Besides the fact that I really didn't like the style of writing (have I emphasized that enough? :) the story was not suspenseful or entertaining. I felt little or no connection with the characters and was grateful the book was only 356 pages! Sorry, Mr. Simpson. Better luck next time!

Reading for lightweights
Yawns all around. Nothing there. The plot was weak. The characters were ineffective, even in Anderson's trying to convey their shallowness. Can't anybody sit down and write a good book anymore? Wait a minute - wait a minute...that's it! I'll do it! OK guys, gotta go... I'm gonna go write the great American novel. Just hold my mail and take a message if the phone rings. See ya in a few weeks...

Counter-response to misled last 'reviewer'
Friend, the issue is not the sincerity of Mr. Pinnock. I believe he is most sincere. The issue is that he is sincerely wrong. Misled. Scripturally Self-deceived. Erroneous. Fallacious. Heterodox. Aberrant in theology. Mormonistic in doctrinal leanings (God somehow 'embodied'??? Actualizing his temporal nature???? Processism???) OOPS.Back to the Bible, Friend. Would that Mr. Pinnock would try again without the Book of Mormon this time.

Boring
The movie was boring. Farrel was miscast. I just didn't believe anyone would follow him to the ends of the earth, let alone a whole army. He was a good actor, but he seemed out of place in the ancient world. Jolie had a strange accent and even a stranger role. The movie just sort of stopped when she was on.The battle scenes which were usually Stone's forte, were boring. The movie flipped back and forth several times in flashbacks. This did not help the already diffused narrative thread. Alexander's sexuality was addressed. I guess it was supposed to be better in the director's cut, but it was still not very well done. A pouting boyfriend hanging around in the background with no substantial role was not interesting. Alexander's wife had very little to do too.The good parts are the exotic scenery and the supporting caste, except for Jolie. Plummer, Kilmer, and Hopkins were good. I just had a hard time sitting through it.

Bad Choice in UPS!
They used UPS to ship. UPS tried to deliver on 1-26-06 but said I wasn't home. I WAS! UPS left a note on my door saying they would deliver again on 1-27-06 between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm.On 1-27-06 from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm,I sat in my living room with my front door open and my blinds up, waiting for them to deliver. NO UPS!!!After checking TRACKING SHIPMENT and calling UPS three times(first two calls said they would be delivering it. Last call said delivery had been rescheduled for the 30th.),I found that they had left this package on the truck and had another package for me. They made absolutely NO ATTEMPT to deliver when they said they would, wasting my day.UPS rescheduled the delivery for 1-30-06.

Hooked
Was assigned this book for a distance-learning college class on the Renaissance. Had a hard time getting into the first few chapters and quit reading. Picked it up again months later and couldn't put it down. Probably some of the most careful reading I've had to do, though. Be patient--sorting out the characters, setting, and slang can be a little overwhelming, but proves well-worth the effort (and makes the rest of the series a piece of cake). Ended up ordering the other seven books after reading this first installment, and couldn't wait to have my questions from Niccolo Rising answered in Spring of the Ram. Spoiler alert: many of these questions aren't answered until the end of the series! For such a rocky start, the book was a great finish. It felt like saying goodbye to an old friend 4,000+ pages (8 books) later. May re-read the set someday just to check out all the subtleties I missed during the first go-round! Good stuff! (BTW: the main character is Claes, not Claus.)

lionel richie the Outrageous Tour DVD
Very disappointing.I preordered this. Lionel Richie's face of year 2003 on the cover and yet the concert was from the 80s. 3 songs were started in the middle of the song and ruined them totally. ej. Hello and Truly. I thought this was the new 2002/2003 tour and it was not. The DVD quality was good, but the performance not what I expected. I own many concerts on DVD and this is one of the worst. I could not get through it without skipping and skipping. fantastic performer since I saw him live. This never should have been released.

Book good, support web site confusion
I was disappointed to see that other reviewers have had trouble with browsing the support web site. First things first. I really enjoy the book. It is a good book that goes step-by-step through operations.The support web site is confusing. As of Jan 27,2000, the site listed appears to be evolving to a more useful site. If you substitute 'uvi6' for 'pvi6', the Using Visual Interdev 6 and Practical Visual Interdev 6 home page is brought up. This is because PVI6 is a re-released version of UVI6. From the home page you can get code downloads and an error listing that is for UVI6. I downloaded it and found that the errors were indeed taken care of. Isn't that great! The downloads were small zip files, so they didn't take long. As I said, good book.

Issues
Where is the QA department? Looked great at first. We hooked it up in our apartment and enjoyed good movies. We then threw away the box. It always seems the day after you dispose of the box, that the problems kick in. First: A vertical green line seems to appear after 15 minutes of the set being turned on. The line is to the right of center and stretches from the top to the bottom of the screen. Second: The audio 'pops' loudly every few minutes. Most people play their audio through a separate receiver and would never notice the poor amplification unit in the TV. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people. I guess the thing is still on warranty, so one of these days I will get around to reporting the problem to Amazon, the fulfiller or to Olevia. However, I am one of those busy people who doesn't have time for things that don't work out of the box. I am sure that if these two issues were resolved, I would be very happy with this unit, but like I said, who has the time?

variety!
The book promises as delivered. Lots of neat equipment in this book. I had read that there weren't enough of magical items in this book. NOT SO! They are tons of them in here and not all of them are weapons per say. Now there is a rule for collosions and vehicle controls, which is very handy. Now not so sure about the mounts and hireling rules, but I see where they fit under 'arms' as in 'hiring arms'. Excellent rule coverage on that angle. Also 'living equiment aka mounts' this has some superb rules for even mounts most would not have even thought of. Gelatiounos cubes anyone? I'd never have thought of that. Though if you have to color illustrations, then avoid this book. There are no such thing in this book. Yet the illustrations that are in this book are very detailed and well done. Color isn't everything. If you need to expand on what is in the phb as far as equipment then this is it. Nice cover illustration imo.

Poooooooor!
Slow boring songs, veak voice, bad lyrics do I have to say more. Not only is this the worst album out there but it's actually selling. Here we have a 32 year old woman who thinks she's really talented however her fan's average age is about 10. And now she has grown a lot more as an artist and explored new kind of music. Ballads. She doesn't have the voice for it. She has annoying voice. Even when she speaks she annoyes me. Please JLO do yourself a favour and be a fulltime actress becaue if you make such terrible music you will loose good roles. She is getting much worse acting roles now then before. And please stop acting like you're Liz Taylor. Please she regrets it so you should read her biography. Pathetic
